Wingblade Chronicles 1: Shattered Peace

Prolouge
Graviton swung his claws at a nearby Mechon, slashing off it’s claws. It roared, and its huge talon came screaming towards him. Graviton didn’t have time to dodge, and it struck him to the ground. It pinned him down with one talon, and raised the other for a killing blow. But, to his infinite gratitude, he saw Landslide barrel into it, fire streaking from his mouth, and battered its head with his wings. It raised one talon to knock Landslide away, releasing Graviton, and he lunged towards it and knocked off it head.
“Thats the first wave!” A sentry called. “But theres bound to be more!”
Graviton soared up to the mouth of Sword valley, trying to spot any approaching Mechon.
The valley was suddenly quiet. Any small noise was enough to make everyone jump.
Then, a shadow covered the valley. I gigantic flying vessel covered the sun, and drove the clouds away.
Thousands upon thousands of mechon rained down from the mothership, cascading down to the valley.
Graviton darted behind a piece of rubble, a fallen mechon, followed by Landslide and Claw. “How are we gonna get out of this?!” Landslide pondered furiously. “We’re surrounded!”
“Maybe we could surrender?” Claw suggested in his slick, scratchy voice.
“No!” Graviton growled. “We’re not surrendering to these metal monsters!” He said.
“But we can’t fight! And we can’t run! There ain’t a way outta this!” Landslide yelled back. “They’re gonna find us any minute now and we’ll be dragon kebabs!”
Claw panicked. “Well i’m running!” He said, and jumped away from their shelter and out into the fray.
“Good luck dying!” Landslide called after the scrawny Icewing.
“You don’t want him to die. We’re friends!” Graviton scolded Landslide.
“You don’t get to scold me. Im like, a million years older than you” The old Mudwing gruffed. “And when has he ever given back? Maybe he deserves it!”
Graviton didn’t respond. Changing the subject, he said “But how are we going to defeat all these Mechon?”
His talon moved to his blade slung across his back. 
“Don’t do it” Landslide said.
“And i thought Mind reading was only for Nightwings” Graviton jeered.
“I don’t need to read your mind to see what you’re about to do. Using it again ‘ll kill you!”
“But what choice do i have? Am i more important than all the dragons of District 6?”
“Bu there needs to be another way…” 
“Besides, old age is makin you worry too much! It probaby wont kill me.”
“But it could” Landslide argued back.
“My friend, the risk is what makes it fun” Graviton said, and jumped onto the defeated Mechon,

and unsheathed the Monado.
The Mechon army turned to face him. Almost all the dragon soldiers were gone. He saw their gleaming, mechanical, red eyes. These machines were weapons for evil, and they were goiong to burn.
With a roar, he charged forward, swinging his sword with all his might.
He heard Claw’s distant shriek, and Landslide’s not-so-distant roar, but it didn’t matter. He charged towards the leading mechon, and struck his sword through its head. He jumped onto its corpse, and leapt into the fray.

 Chapter 1
Psi stared up at the passing clouds. It was a sunny day. One that gave you a fuzzy feeling and made you want to lie in the sun forever. He watched the clouds pass under the sun, the sky getting darker and brighter each time. His gaze sifted to a dragonfly, flitting around the grass. It must be nice to be a Dragonfly. 
He wondered if they could see everything arond them with those eyes. They were strange things, Dragonflies. They looked like drones. Machines. But thinking of machines brought back bad memories. 
Speaking of machines… there was something beyond the dragonfly. The body of a mechon! What luck! Maybe he could scavenge it for rare parts, and make something cool out of them! Most of the old mechon were reduced to scraps long ago. He never thought this would be a good place to look. But it wasn’t far from the old battlefield, where the mechon were defeated, once and for all.
He got up, and ran over to it. He began prying at the parts. He saw more old mechon scattered around. What luck! Maybe i’ll take some back for Landslide, hes been pretty boring, even for his old self!
He saw a flicker of movement out of the corner of his eye, and froze. Could some of these Mechon still be functioning? He kept his eye on the part, but nothing moved again. Probably just a mouse or something.
Suddenly, something dove infront of him. The part had moved, and something reached out to claw him, and that thing took to blow.
“Grizzly!” He shouted at his Mudwing friend.
Grizzly was holding a big shield, probaby borrowed it from the army where he trained, and knocked the creature back. The old mechon suit flipped off.
“Its some sort of caterpillar!” Psi yelled. He could never really remember monster names, but it looked like a caterpillar. 
He heard it make a hissing noise, and leapt at Grizzly. Another old mechon came to life, and the thing underneath it came scuttling at Psi. Psi quickly torched the old mechon, and melted it, trapping the caterpillar monster inside. He rushed over to help Grizzly with the first. It had began to climb up the shield, and lashed at Grizzly with sharp annetenae. With a loud growl, Grizzly flung it off the shield. 
“This guy just wont give up!” Yelled Grizzly. 
Psi and Grizzly both aimed to torch the monster, but with unexpected agility, it fumbled aside and went for Grizzly’s legs. He roared and tried to stomp on it, but it still kept dodging. “Stupid thing!” Grizzly snarled. “Just die already!”
Psi saw the melted mechon move, and realized the second monster had dug its way out of it. He growled, and spun in a cicle, spraying fire at both monsters. He seared both monster’s annetanae, (And Grizzly’s behind) and the two monsters stood still for a moment, then burrowed into the ground.

“Yeah! Run!” Psi called after them. Turning to Grizzly, he sad “Thanks. Where did you come from, anyway?”
Grizzly shrugged. “I was late for training, and i knew the Admiral would flip, so i decided to postpone my destruction a lil’ and come find you.”
“Well, you totally saved my butt back there. Now, come help me take apart these hunks of junk.”
 * * * 
Psi and Grizzly flew up towards district 6. Psi didn’t have anything they could use to carry the parts, so they each held one end of the shield, using it to carry their not-so-valuable goods. He figured they had already dropped at least 50 percent of them already. They both landed awkwardly on the bridge, trying to keep the shield upright. “Well, i think i should go to training now” Grizzly sighed. 
“I’ll be sure to come over to pick up your pieces!” Laughed Psi.
The dragged the shield along the town, getting some odd looks. Eventually, he got to the lab. But the shield wouldn’t fit through the door. He sighed, and carried them on foot. He was pretty sure he dropped another 30 percent before he got to the Mechon dissection room. Landslide was crouched over a desk, smoking a cigarrette. Psi gagged at the smell. “Do you really have to smoke that thing?”
Landslide jumped, startled by Psi’s sudden appearance. “Why not?”
“Smoking ruins your lungs” Psi parroted.
“Im old. Im cranky. What’ i got to lose?” Landslide asked sarcastically.
“Pff.” Psi scoffed, and got to work on the old parts.
A few hours later, Landslide finally asked. “Why don’t you go outside. Its a sunny day outside”
“Nah. I’d rather stay in here.”
“Now i see why you got no friends”
“I have friends! Theres Grizzly and Kismet, and Graviton, i suppose.”
“Everyones friends with Graviton”
“Everyones a fan of Graviton! But me and the others are actually friends. You are one of his friends!”
“Somehow” Landslide grumped.
“Well, i suppose i should go outside. Its only getting darker” Psi mumbled to himself, and flew out the window.
“Hey!” Landslide called after him. I Told you to use the Door!”

Psi sat on the bench, overlooking the lake. I was his favorite place in the district. Behind the bench, a old Elm tree reached towards the clouds, covered in a vast expanse of green leaves, outlined by the evening sun. Around the Elm, a vast flowerbed of Lilies and Gardenias and Asters surrounded it, and an Oak branch fence prevented dragons from falling into the lake. He sat there, absorbing the peace, till he heard talonsteps behind him. He turned around, his ears perked up, and his face instantly lit up.
Kismet!
Kismet, along with Grizzly, was one of his childhood friends, and the younger sister of Graviton, the hero who had vanquished the Mechon! Of course, Kismet wasn’t as nearly as popular as her brother, but she had Grizzly and Psi. Kismet sat down next to Psi. “Its a pretty day, isn’t it?”
She asked.
“Yep. Y’ know, it reminds me of that day, all those years ago” Psi said
“What day?” Kismet asked.
“When you and Graviton got into a fight, and you said you were going to run away. And you ran here and stayed here the whole night”
“Ha, yeah! Dragonets do weird things. Not sure why i would do that” She said, a bit sheepishly. “You stayed here too”
“I remember how worried Graviton was. He actually thought you ran away!”
“But i came back, and forgave him.”
“He probably thought i was eaten by the mechon!”
“Mechon don’t eat dragons. They’re Machines”
“Then where do all the corpses go?” Kismet asked, gaining a mischevious grin.
Psi thought about this for a moment, and shrugged. “Maybe they have a big corpse keychain collection or something?” He suggested.
Kismet snorted. “Heh!”
The two hybrids just sat there, in the moment that was extremely awkward for some reason. “Well, are we just gonna sit here?” Psi asked.
“Lets go see if Grizzly’s been obliviated yet” Kismet joked.
They both chuckled, and flew down to the residential area. Psi flew fast, nearly taking the heads off a few dragons. They couldn’t find Grizzly at the army base, or anywhere else. Psi scratched his head. “Weird. Wonder where he went” He thought for a moment. “Oh! Maybe he went to get his shield back!” Psi concluded, and set off towards the lab, ignoring Kismet’s questions about why a shield would be at a lab.
And there Grizzly was. Well, the shield was already gone, but they could hear the distant scraping that sounded like someone was dragging it down the hall. “How did he fit it through the door?” He wondered out loud.
They trooped through the hall, and foud Grizzly in a small, underground room.
The one where the Monado was kept.
Psi saw Grizzly reach out to touch it, and yelled. “Stop! Grizzly! Don’t touch it!”
But too late. Grizzly grabbed the sword, and it went absolutlet Haywire. Like a caged bird, it zoomed around all over the place, but Grizzly held on.
“Let go Grizzly, let go!” Kismet shrieked as the blade zoomed towards her.
