== Metal Wristbands: A Short AU fanfiction ==
The deep, vast, ocean churned beneath Hawkmoth. It was so huge and it seemed to reach down forever and out until the end of the world. He glanced back at the slowly shrinking shape of Pantala. The burning jungle sat in front of the sunset, reminding him that the ocean was not infinite. He shuddered. That's the only land for a long time. Until the first island. He squinted a bit and tried to see the island in front of the large swarm of flying dragons. He didn't see anything. Obviously. Whatever. Anyways, wherever that island is, it is way too far away. The ocean looked sinister below him, like it wanted to swallow him up. Just keep flying. Focus on your wingbeats. It will be okay. Anxiety churned within his stomach. l've never even seen the ocean in my entire life! Hawkmoth was studying the water below him when suddenly a flash of yellow came out of the corner of his eye and buzzed in front of him. "Ahh!" He yelped. "HiveWing!" It took him a moment to remember that a HiveWing had joined them on this journey across the sea. "Oh sorry! Didn't mean to startle you!" The HiveWing said, clutching a smaller black-and-yellow HiveWing dragonet. He tried not to scowl at her. "I-It's okay." He mumbled. The HiveWing seemed to notice his grumpy tone and backed off, quiet. Hawkmoth sighed, trying to fly faster. Ugh this wristband is so heavy and annoying. They flew on for a few minutes. Suddenly, a blue-and-orange SilkWing near him yelped a little, holding up her wristband. "Ouch! It stung me. Or something." She said, and her wrist began to droop. The HiveWing stiffened beside him. "I feel so.... Dizzy" the SilkWing said, arms drooping. "And tire-" her voice trailed off into mumbling. "Oh no!" The HiveWing cried, dashing in front of him to the SilkWing. A mold-green LeafWing that had been flying next to the SilkWing hissed at the HiveWing. "Hey, hey! Are you okay?" They asked. The SilkWing's wings suddenly stopped flapping and her eyes drooped closed. She fell straight out of the sky and into the deep, foaming, sea. "NOO!" The LeafWing shouted diving down to try and pull her out of the water, but seemed to be drowning too. Anxiety and terror filled Hawkmoth and he flapped his wings in horror. The HiveWing's face morphed into a look of terror and recognition. "Oh no!" She said, wide eyed. "What!?" He asked, panicked. "The-there's this toxin thingy that's in all the SilkWing wristba- There's no time!" She spoke quickly and full of terror. He screamed. "THE WRISTBANDS ARE GOING TO KILL US!" He shrieked. He began tugging at his own wristband. A couple more SilkWings fell from the sky. He hadn't seen the LeafWing who tried to save the SilkWing in a while. They're dead! They're all dead! I'm going to die! More SilkWings were falling, some LeafWings tried to help them up and they managed to grab a few, but many more were sinking, sinking, down to the depths. Hawkmoth was trying desperately to fly while also trying to rip off his metal wristband. He was spiraling closer and closer to the water. A SilkWing fell right out of the sky and splashed water all over him, and he was almost certain he heard bones snapping. The whole group was in a state of panic, flying and roaring and screaming. He tugged and tugged on his wristband and when it didn't work he began to sob frantically. Then a tiny prick like a needle poked his wrist. "No-" he cried. Dizziness set in and his vision blurred. His wings wouldn't work. He plunged into the water with drooping eyelids. It surrounded him and filled his lungs. After a few moments his eyes shut and and he inhaled the water.
