Chapter 54 - SURVIVAL 16: TRICK

"I wish nothing, but we win all the games altogether."

 

First, Third, Fourth, and I composed ourselves to ride our dracodile again. It was a matter of minutes when we were finally back on our knees. Third is still our controller with the same order of position, a while ago. Taming this beast was not that hard compared to what we expected. The two gold dracodiles and one silver dracodiles are being maneuvered up in the sky. Not long after, we followed our group's second dracodile. As much as we wanted, our happiness did not last long. Soon, the real deal of the game began. Our team's dracodiles flew together when the gold team caught up on. The dracodiles clashed as the gold and silver team flew above. Fifzen is the controller of gold dracodile 1 and Ninezen is the controller of gold dracodile 2. Fifth is the controller of our other silver dracodile.

"Not so fast," Fifzen initiated. I'm not sure what Fifzen meant by that. Are they going to commence an attack on us? The eyes of each controller became sharp.

While staring, everyone was surprised that all the dracodiles moved aggressively and advanced. Their heads collided. It groaned and wandered off. We were all confused and clung tightly to each other's waists. When it calmed down, I sighed that everyone was safe, even the gold team.

"Hiyaaa!" Ninezen raised his right hand while holding his left hand on the dracodile's firm and rugged skin. Ninezen's group shouted as if they were going to attack us.

Other members of the gold team also shouted. What's happening? I also looked at my teammates. I saw their keen gaze on the incoming gold team. Sixth and Aeith looked straight ahead as well. Don't tell me.

''Third, what's the plan?" I queried him because there's no order from our leader yet. We need to have a plan as a team. As we can see right now, the gold team is planning on something, but we have nothing on our sleeves.

"'Yaaah!" 

"Go get 'em!"

"Don't let them win!"

My groupmates also clamored. Third did something so our dracodile that it suddenly forged ahead. I almost fell, but First caught my waist. I clung tightly to Fourth. Our safety depended on Third.

"I'll manage to control this monster since I already know the technique on how to do it. The three of you will steal that necklace." Third ordered us. "We'll attack first..." I looked to the right where Third pointed out his finger. "That one!"

The first one we will shoot the necklace with is the gold dracodile 1 that Fifzen maneuvers. I saw Fifth attempts to get the necklace on the dracodile that Ninezen oversees control. Gold dracodile 1 is just flying in the air and its riders enjoy it, they seem to have forgotten that they are already fighting.

"Yow, Third!" Fifzen greeted and waved at us.

Third ignored him. He didn't answer and didn't react either. He stopped our dracodile and faced Fifzen's group. "Hehe, you're too serious, bud."

Then they rushed at us. We dodged the attack, but they came closer to us. They went below us in an instant that I didn't notice their fast movement. Sevenzen who is sitting last near their dracodiles tail was about to touch the pendant of our team's silver necklace.

"Third!" I alerted him. It made a sudden movement as he controlled our dracodile to make a turn.

"Tch!" Sevenzen grunted. He almost got ours because we paid attention more to their dracodile than them. Luckily, he was not able to reach it and Third turned left right away.

They repeated this strategy to get ours, but as they kept on doing it, we could read their next move that prevented them from achieving their goal. Not long after, Third ordered us to attack and pause the defense. We also went under their dracodile so that we could grab the necklace that was hanging on their beast's foot, but it was too far away and none of us could reach it. The height of our flight is approximately 100 meters high from the ground. I keep altering my mindset to keep my focus during this ride for a bit longer before my guts gush out.

"Second," Third calls out to me. He indicates that he wants me to grab the necklace.

I lifted myself slightly from the dracodile's back where we were sitting, and First supported me. First volunteered to do the task, but Third insisted that I do it because I am more flexible than he is. First should hold me so I wouldn't fall. Fourth also helped First by holding my thighs to stand still while still on the ride. Among the four of us, my position is the most perfect one to grab the necklace from the gold team.

The target is approaching us. We flew down to its feet, and Fifzen looked surprised at what we suddenly did, as if he hadn't expected that. We plan to trick the gold team and its dracodile until their controller faints. We will fly down but we will not pick up the necklace first. We will cause a distraction to their group by calling out their names and initiating a fake attack. Then all of a sudden, we will fly down, and then I will grab their necklace. Third is in charge of maneuvering while First and Fourth will support me.

10, 9, 8,

I can do this! I bit my lower lip. This will be intense, yet I have given the chance to do this for my team.

7, 6, 5, 

"Now!" Third commanded. I stand up. Fourth hugged my waist tightly and Fist clung to my legs. I raised my hands. The target has already passed above.

4, 3,

 

"Stop it! You're gonna fall!" I heard Third's voice. He is stopping me, but it was too late. He halted me because what I did was something reckless. I reached my hand far from my limit, but I felt that—that I am holding the pendant! I tightened the grip.

2, 1 

I grabbed it and... Yes!... Wait, I felt hot. Uh-oh

"Second!"
