"Kids, get behind me."
"Ariel, what is that?"
"Just close your eyes and the Dragon will be gone in three.....two…..
*BOOM...…..BOOM*
…..ONE!!!!"
"Roaaaaaaaaaa….aaa..aa…acccchhhkkkkkkkk"
*Criack*
"What the?"
"Darius, don't touch it, it could still be alive?"
"I don't think it is.
*Tap, tap*

"How?
Ruby?"
"Don't look at me."
"You heard her...…."
"Jacklyn? How'd you…..did you just….."
"Appear out of thin air?"
"Don't look at her, look at me.
Poisonous fog. Harmless to humans but fatal to Dragons. When Max and Crystal came to me, I congratulated them on their wedding but what kind of sister would I be sending out my little bro in a sea of Dragons? So,
*Tap, tap*
I created a hidden Paradise Island for them. The one place Dragons can't go."
"Is he..."
"Dead? Oh, no, no, no; and it's a she; and to answer your question…..no.
Call it more of a.....checkup. Patient comes in, I knock them out, fix them, then send them on their way with a bill of health."
"So, what's her Bill?"
"Can you fix her?"
"........No, but you can.
I brought you a little something.
I just couldn't. I took your powers, tried to revive my machines but realized that wasn't a great choice for you so.....I am offering you a choice. Take your powers, help the dragon….
*Whoosh*
Or....Chase them!!!!"
"Jacklyn, if this is some type of.."
*Pop, pop, pop, pop*
"Uhmmm….Girls? Darius? Anybody?"
"Where'd our friends go?"
"Uhhhh..........Don't worry kids. The fog must have seen my Jewels and sensed the Elementals' jewels were Dragon, so they smacked them out of my hand and forced the kids to hunt them down...…seperately."
"Huh?"
"Uhhhhhh...…be back soon, I'll send someone for you."
*Whoosh*
".............What just happened?"
"AAAAAAGHHHHHHHH."
"AAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH."
"AAAAAAAGHHHHHH."
"AAAAAAGHHHHHHHHH."
*Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud*
"Ouch. If I had to prefer being flown like a Kite by Jacklyn or flown like a Ragdoll just now....I'd choose the kite."
"Where am I?"
"This place looks…."
"Familiar."
"Hello?"
'Hello.....ello.....ello.'
"...Is anyone out there?"
'Out there..out tere...….out er.'
"Come on girls, this isn't funny.
*Errrrrrrriiiiiiaaannnnnnnk*
Uhhhhh…..girls? Girls?
*Step.....step*
….heeee....hello? Anyone in there?"
'Why does dad have to leave so much?"
"Darius, you know he doesn't mean to. He's just keeping your best interest in heart."
"Yea…by buying me a stuffed teddy bear...On my Birthday.
MY.....BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!"
"Darius, don't be mad. He'll be here tomorrow."
"I WISH YOU WERE NEVER EVEN BORN. ALL I ASK IS FOR ONE DAY...ONE DAY.....WHERE MY DAD CAN COME GIVE ME A HUG. And he's not...he's not…..
*Sniff*
….not even here."
"Darius, I said..."
"AND YOU DEFEND HIM. ALL I WANTED WAS A FRIEND. THAT'S ALL I...…ever wanted, but NOOOOOOOO…..you say the world is dangerous and true friends don't exist. WHY CAN'T I JUST ONCE….JUST ONCE…..HAVE WHAT YOU AND DAD HAVE?"
"GO TO YOUR ROOM!!!!!!"
"FINE.
*SLAM*
….Not like you see me even when I am downstairs."
"Is that....me? But...….how? Why? This is my old memory. Why am I here?"
"That...…is a question you must all answer...…for yourselves."
