Chapter 13

  After all the dragons gathered around, Dagron, Abyss and the others explained what they had seen while flying back from waking up Thunderwing – a whole armada of ships, armed to teeth and sailing towards the Isle. The reactions from everyone were what Dagron and Abyss were expecting – shock, worry and anger.

  "Yes, we know. We're just as worried and angry as the rest of you" said Dagron.

  "Lucky for us, we have three powerful titans to protect us" said Abyss.

  "Yes, they will reduce that armada to pieces" said Dagron.

  After that, everyone seemed to calm down. Dagron and Abyss pulled their staffs out and flew past the crowd, landing where the titans could see them.

  "(Titans! Once that armada arrives, show no mercy and leave no survivors)" said Dagron.

  "(Absolutely, your majesty)" said Doomfire.

  "(Consider it done) said Quetzalcoatl.

  "(If their intent is malicious, they will not live long enough to be sorry)" said Thunderwing.

  Dagron and Abyss smiled and nodded silently. After that, the titans hid in waited. Doomfire went back into his volcano and Quetzalcoatl dove underwater, both of them having their heads up so they can see and hear. Thunderwing, on the other hand, was high up in the sky and covered by dark storm clouds. He stared out at the horizon and after a while, the armada of roman ships appeared. Dagron, Abyss, their friends and every other dragon stood back and braced themselves, in case a ship somehow managed to get past the titans.

  "This is probably the fight of our lives" said Abyss.

  "It definitely is, my dear. It definitely is" said Dragon.

  He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see Acidstorm, Hunterbolt, Icebreaker, Smokescreen and Firefly.

  "We're with you until the very end, pal" said Hunterbolt.

  "Always" said Acidstorm.

  "Friends till the end" said Smokescreen.

  "Never retreat, never surrender" said Firefly.

  "What we do is for all of dragon kind" said Icebreaker.

  Dagron smiled.

  "Thank you, guys. Thank you" he said.

  Abyss smiled as them and Dagron hugged it out. That was when Frost, Bansha, Groundspliter and Jade hugged her.

  "Don't forget about us, A" said Bansha.

  "Yeah, don't count us out yet, girl" said Frost.

  "Yes" said Jade.

  "Let's do this" said Groundspliter.

  Abyss smiled and hugged them back. After that, everyone braced themselves, watched and waited. After a bit of time, a few dozen ships crossed the sea stacks, sailing straight towards the Isle. On them were roman soldiers, armed with swords, shields and spears. The ships themselves had either a catapult or a ballista on them. On it, one soldier raised a spear and spoke.

  "We claim this land in the name of the Emperor! Eliminate any who stand in your way" he said.

  After about a minute, Dagron and Abyss stepped forward and raised their staffs high in the air.

  "(Now)" they shouted in unison.

  Quetzalcoatl immediately rose up out of the water, spread his massive white feathered wings and roared. Doomfire burst out of the volcano, landed in the water right beside his brother and also roared. In the sky, the dark storm clouds split apart, revealing Thunderwing as he also roared. Upon seeing all three massive titans, all the soldiers on the roman ships began to panic and take steps back out of fear. First, Quetzalcoatl fired a big blue beam, freezing every ship in the front, along with their crews. Next, Doomfire and Thunderwing fired giant blasts of fire and lightning, blowing them to pieces.

  Dagron, Abyss, their friends and every other dragon on the Isle smiled and cheered. That was a single attack from the titans and they already took out dozens of ships.

  "It's working" said Abyss.

  "Yeah, but let's not celebrate too soon, my dear" said Dagron.

  Abyss silently nodded and they kept watching. All three titans then spread their wings and took flight, creating a colossal gust of wind.

  "Whoa, the titans are cutting it close there" said Firefly.

  "It's not our fault they're that big, Firefly" said Dagron.

  The titans then proceeded to fly over the armada of roman ships and unleash their fury upon them all.

  Before the romans could react, Quetzalcoatl fired. One by one, each ship and its crew were incased in ice. The soldiers, caught mid-action, became statues, their faces twisted in expressions of panic and fear. The waves beneath the ships were also frozen solid, locking the entire armada in place.

  Next, Doomfire opened his maw as wide as he could and fired huge bursts of fire down upon them. The fire raced over the frozen ships, shattering the ice and engulfing the ships in flames. The explosions were deafening as frozen wood and iron were torn apart by the sudden heat. The frozen soldiers were immediately reduced to ash before they could even be thawed out from the heat, let alone scream. The ships that Quetzalcoatl didn't freeze caught fire, the flames spreading quickly. The fire was so quick, the soldiers didn't have time to react. They screamed for a split second before they were silenced and reduced to ash.

  Finally, Thunderwing was struck by a lot of lightning bolts before he opened his mouth and fired. The first blast reduced a ship to splinters, the shockwave rippling through the frozen sea, shattering the remaining ice and tossing burning wreckage all around. Thunderwing then fired again and again and again, each blast obliterating what little remained.

  The three titans worked together, very coordinated. Quetzalcoatl would freeze the ships and soldiers, then Doomfire and Thunderwing would blow them to smithereens. In the end, the ships in the way back of the armada tried to turn around and sail away quickly, but it was too late. The titans caught up to them and took them out as well.

  After that, it was over. There was nothing, but the sounds of crackling flames, crashing waves and flapping of giant wings in sky.

  Dagron, Abyss, their friends and the other dragons all stared, silent and in awe of the titan's power. After it was over, the titans made sure that there were no survivors before going back to the Isle. Doomfire went back inside the inactive volcano, Quetzalcoatl went back in the water and in his little ring of ice and Thunderwing went inside the giant cave that was near the beach.

  After a few moments of silence, Abyss smiled.

  "They did it...they did it" she shouted.

  Dagron smiled and turned around, raising his staff in the air.

  "The titans have won! We are saved" he shouted.

  Everyone roared in triumph, some dragons even fired blasts into the air out of joy. The titans joined them, creating a bright display for everyone to enjoy as they celebrated. Dagron and Abyss nuzzled up against each other, happy that it was finally over. Icebreaker and Groundspliter did the same thing, happy to finally have time for themselves.

  Smokescreen and Firefly hugged it out.

  "Come here, you pyromaniac" said Smokescreen.

  "Awe, I think that's the nicest thing you've ever called me" said Firefly.

  "Really, cousin? You take pyromaniac as compliment" Smokescreen asked him.

  "Well, I do like being on fire and watching stuff burn. I basically am a pyromaniac" he replied.

  Smokescreen just smiled and shook his head before suddenly being pulled away by Bansha, who licked him. After that, Smokescreen grinned, steam came out of his nostrils and he fell to the ground.

  "Bansha, you know who you just licked, right" Abyss asked her.

  "Yes, I do, girl, and I don't care" she replied.

  Hunterbolt and Acidstorm high fived each other before Frost and Jade surprised them both and licked them, causing them to also grin, have steam come out of their nostrils and fall to the ground.

  "Huh, I guess some dragons just can't handle being licked by the dragons they love" said Dagron.

  Abyss smiled and licked him, causing the same thing to happen to him.

  "You were saying" she asked him.

  The ladies laughed and giggled as Dagron, Hunterbolt, Acidstorm and Smokescreen looked at each, still on the ground.

  "They're the best" Hunterbolt asked.

  "They're the best" Dagron replied.

  Acidstorm and Smokescreen nodded silently.

  One Year Later...

  Dagron and Abyss were on one of the sea stacks, overlooking the setting sun and smiling.

  "Can't believe it's been almost a year since we finally got our everlasting peace" said Dagron.

  "Me neither, honey. Me neither" said Abyss.

  Just then, a black baby dragon with purple stripes leapt onto Dagron's head while two more baby dragons, one dark gray and another dark purple, leapt onto Abyss' shoulders. These were their offspring, a boy and two girls – Orion, Silver and Storm.

  "What are we talking about" Orion asked.

  "You kids will learn about that when you're older" Dagron replied.

  "But we wanna know now" said Silver.

  "Yeah, dad" said Storm.

  "Absolutely not" said Abyss.

  "But mom" Silver begged.

  "No buts. You kids will know what happened when you're a little older" said Abyss.

  "Sorry, kids, but you heard your mother" said Dagron.

  "Aw" they uttered.

  "Come on, let's go back and you can play with your friends a little more before bed" said Abyss.

  The kids cheered before they all spread their wings and started flying back towards the Isle of the Dragons.
