Drowning Screams

== Prologue ==
"IT'S TOO POWERFUL, LOVE!!!" Screamed a black hivewing guard with yellow spots as a giant Plant-type MSS corruptor grabbed them and threw them like a ragdoll, leaving a red hivewing guard with maroon freckles who was holding a blood red egg in horror as he was ripped to shreds. The Plant-type MSS corruptor then turned towards the red hivewing guard and screeched at her, causing the adrenaline to kick in, making her run while clutching her dear egg.
"I've got to get my egg out of here for the sake of it!.." whimpered the red hivewing as she threw her wings out and took to the sky, watching out for any flying MSS monsters as she flew across the ocean, avoiding the darken patches of water as she landed on the coast of the mud kingdom.
"I can't take care of you, I'm sorry...Shieldback.." sobbed the red hivewing as she put her egg down in one of the mudwing homes. She then turned around and took to the skies, sobbing. Little did she know that the home she put her egg in was about to be entered by a mudwing who adopted the egg...
== Chapter 1 ==
"We better keep quiet if we want to stay alive..." mumbled Shieldback to her friends as they quietly walked across the color-changing desert of the once-beautiful Kingdom of the Sand. It's been 7 years since the new virus substance, MSS, took over the mant continents but Shieldback had one thing she didn't lose: her group of friends.
"You can say that again, Shieldback!" whispered one of the dragons in the group, Gale of the Icewings, as she looked around for any MSS Monsters, with a nervous look.
"Is it me or is it getting a bit windy?" asked another member of the group, Shoreline of the seawings as a a gust of wind blew in their way.
"It's probably just the wind created by nature, Shoreline." replied Khepri of the sandwings as she high-fived Shieldback and peered at her with a calm look.
"Y-ya sure about that, pal? You know that there are 3 types of MSS corruptors that can cause windy weather!" reminded Lotus the Rain-sea hybird as she wiped some sand out of her eyes.
"We know there are 12 types of MSS corruptors and about a trillion types of MSS monsters out here, Lotus! Besides, they won't be able to-" started Brightsting when they heard the deep but booming roar of something.
"Uhhh, WHAT was that?!" asked a nervous Shoreline as the group grew silent. Just then, the wind started to get stronger, causing a giant amount of sand to fly around them. Suddenly, a whole palm tree from a nearby oasis was ripped out of the ground and flew right past the gang, causing them to turn around and see where the tree went. The tree was sucked into a sand tornado which was the lower half of a tan humanoid with pitch black sanwing eyes, a clay-like mane and a crown made out of a whole desert temple.
"Oh dear god..." stuttered Shieldback as she and her group of friends looked at the gigantic creature in horror as the wind got even more worse and the tornado-like beast turned towards them, glaring at them with its black eyes.
The gang walked into territory of the deadly Sand-type MSS corruptor and were about to become its prey..
== Chapter 2 ==
"RUN FOR IT, GUYS!!" Shrieked Shieldback as the Sand-type MSS corruptor charged towards them. The group started to run like the wind, shielding their eyes from the sand particles as they sprinted as fast as possible to what appeared to be a cave.
"We can hide in that cave until the storm ends!" realized Khepri as she spread her wings to protect the gang from flying debris as the wind became even worse.
"The wind is getting worst!" cried lotus who are near the burst of tears due to the sand and chaos.
"I know, dude! How far is the cave though?!" responded Shoreline while struggling to see where they were going, causing Shieldback to give them a hand to the cave.
"We've made it!" cheered both Lotus and Gale as they ran into the large cave with dead bushes.
"Yeah, just one problem: WHO ARE THEY?!" Asked Brightsting who pointed at another group of dragons in the cave. The leader of the other group was a leaf-hive hybrid wearing glasses and bandages. Next to him was a ice-sand mix who was covered in scares from past battles and wore a set of daggers and knifes them. Behind them was a redish-beige sandwing holding a mace and a grey icewing wearing jewelery and holding a bandage which he was wrapping around the wound on the redish-beige sandwing.
"What the- REAL DRAGONS?!" Cried the leaf-hive hybrid as the two groups looked at each other in shock.
The new group were the first dragons Shieldback and her friends had encountered since the MSS took over..
== Chapter 3 ==
"W-who are you lot?" Asked the Ice-sand mix, pulling out one of the knifes she had on her, but the leaf-hive hybrid stopped her.
"Striker, no! They might help us find a cure!" Replied the leaf-hive hybrid with a kind smile.
"I'm Shieldback of the hivewings and these are my friends!: Gale of the icewings, Shoreline of the seawings, Lotus of the rainwings and seawings, Brightsting of the sandwings and Khepri of the sandwings! We're trying to survive the MSS apocalypse!" Explained Shieldback as she and her friends were offered cooked coriander seeds and sliced fruit.
"Nice to meet you then! I'm Green'Vinegaroon of the hivewings and leafwings! These are my pals: Striker of the icewings and sandwings, Coriander of the sandwing and Ice'quake of the icewings!" Clarified the leaf-hive hybrid as he tucked into a red apple.
"Interesting to see more dragons like you lot 'ere in the Kingdom of Sand, huh?" commented Ice'quake as he eyed Khepri with crankiness, showing that he didn't approve of her.
"Now don't be like that, pal!" Protested Coriander crossly while grabbed Ice'quake by the horns and dragging his head onto the stone-hard floor.
"Hold on now! How about this? What if we worked together to find a cure for this madness, hm?" Suggested Shoreline nervously. There was silence for a good 3 minutes before Striker broke the silence by speaking.
"That sounds like a good idea actually.." Striker agreed, nodding her head in agreement.
"So it's settled: we'll work together to find a cure for the MSS." answered Green'Vinegaroon as the others agreed with him. He then offered Shieldback a claw for her to shake which she did, smiling happily.
The gang now have found a new group of allies in the MSS apocalypse...
== Chapter 4 ==
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP ME!!" Screamed a voice in the distance, the voice felt so close that Shieldback bolted up from her sleep, screaming in horror while looking around only to see that the others were fast asleep.
"What in the- If they're asleep, then who was screaming-" wondered Shieldback when she realized that Green'Vinegaroon was missing. She slowly got up and quietly walked out the cave to go look for him. She quietly crept along the sandy desert as she noticed Green'Vinegaroon sitting in front of a oasis with a sad look on his face.
"Green, are you alright?" asked Shieldback as Green'Vinegaroon turned towards her, wiping a tear away from his snout.
"Shieldback, do you want to know why I'm out here..?" responded Green'Vinegaroon trying not to cry. Shieldback nodded, not saying a work that might upset him more.
"I used to work in Vinegaroon hive in a library with my older foster brother, Violin. But then... it took him away.." whimpered Green'Vinegaroon as a tear rolled down his snout and landed on the desert sand.
"What took your brother, may I ask?" asked Shieldback as she sat next to Green'Vinegaroon. She then regretted asking because Green'Vinegaroon started to sob uncontrollably. his tears running down his snout like a running river and onto the sand.
"I-i'm so sorry for asking!" Regretted Shieldback as she hugged Green'Vinegaroon as he wiped his tears away.
"It's fine.. It's just that... one of the MSS corruptors took him!" explained Green'Vinegaroon as he weakly looked at the rising sun. Shieldback now understood why he wanted to find a cure, so he could find his lost family.
"Maybe we should go back to the others.." suggested Shieldback as she helped Green'Vinegaroon off the ground and they started to walk towards the cave.
The walk to find a town with other dragons was going to take a while..
== Chapter 5 ==
"So now what?" Asked Lotus as the two groups started to walk away from their now-empty campsite from under the cave where they slept the night before.
"Simple, friend! We'll find a town with other dragons in it!" Answered Coriander as he swung his mace around, nearly hitting Striker on the head.
"Watch that dang thing, would you?" Hissed Striker as the ground started to shift from rainbow sand to black stone, meaning they were entering the Sky Kingdom.
"Don't fight, guys- WHOA!" Began Khepri when she bumped into Shieldback who stopped completely in her tracks. In front of her was a gigantic spruce forest full of trees that reached the atmosphere when they looked up.
"S-should we go in it or around it?" stuttered Shoreline as the two groups looked at the forest nervously.
"Well, we should go in it in case there are other dragons in there!" stated Gale as the groups agreed with her,
"In that case, peasants, in we go!" insulted Ice'quake as he stormed past them and made his way towards the forest. The groups looked at each other and followed after him, hoping for the best..
== Chapter 6 ==
"Maybe we should split up just to be safe.." Suggested Brightsting as they strolled through the dark forest of slimy, rainbow trees.
"Good idea, Bright!" Agreed Shoreline as the two groups went different ways. Shieldback and her group went down a rocky area with bones littered everywhere while Green'Vinegaroon's group went down a path with dead bushes.
"Something's off here.." Realized Lotus as they noticed small critters whose eyes became a vibrant yellow with a pink swirl.
"You're not too far off there, Lotus. Look at all these bones!-" Started Khepri when Shieldback felt a claw on her shoulder. She opened her mouth to scream but it was covered by a scaly grey claw with razor-sharp talons.
"Don't you dare scream, pal." Hissed a voice. Shieldback's snout was then realized by a dragon they haven't seen ever. The group stared in shock at the new dragon as she looked around nervously.
"W-who are you?" Stuttered Khepri who ran by Shieldback's side to make sure she was alright.
"The name's Deathback. Deathback of the Dreamwings. Now be quite or else 'he' will hear us.." Explained the new dragon as she breathed heavily.
"First of all, I'm Shieldback and those are my friends who'll I'll explain later and second of all, who's he-" Started Shieldback when she heard something: Gale screaming.
"HELP MEEEEE!! NO NO LET GO OF ME PLEAAAASE!!!" Howled the distant voice of the icewing when the group heard something else. A loud booming noise, coming towards them.
"Deathback, what is that- HOLY MOTHER OF SCAVENGERS!!!" Yelled Brightsting in horror followed by Khepri gasping along side Shieldback as they saw Gale being thrown towards them. Thankfully, they dodged just in time but what they saw horrified them to the core: Gale's body was covered in blood flowing from the bites and missing pieces of flesh and bones from her body as some strange rainbow substance started to drip from a tear on her stomach.
"I-" Started Lotus when they noticed two little pale pink humanoids. One wore a colorful toga with its black hair scrunched up into a bun with two rainbow sticks to keep it in as their little peacock tail was spread out to reveal little specks of rainbow goo. The other one was wearing a rainbow gown as its little peacock feet was standing on a bone of a cow, its adorable eyes covered by its red hair which was in a mane.
"AWWW! Look at them!" Squealed Shoreline as the little humanoids started to do a odd dance. It was then that Shieldback saw something behind the humanoids: a towering spider black humanoid with bloody peacock feets, a rainbow peacock tail with swirls and eyes covering it. The creature's chest was covered in bitemarks and bruises while its long hair was a baby pink and was in the curly comb over hairstyle with beautiful flowers in it. One of the creature's eye was a pale burple while the other was vibrant yellow with a pink swirl for the pupil. The large monster glared down at our heroes with a terrifying expression before grabbing Gale's dying body and chanting something. Gale then slowly rose, her body now a pitch black with rainbow goo dripping from it as the humanoid beast put her down next to him and pointed at the gang and to the group's horror, Gale's now infected body slowly turned towards them and followed the large human-like beast as it started to sprint at our heroes.
"RUN FOR IT!!" Shrieked Deathback and Shieldback at the same time as the large humanoid sprinted towards the group, causing them to scream and run as fast as the wind. They've encountered the powerful Fairy-Type MSS Corruptor and now were about to be infected by it..
== Chapter 7 ==
"WE'RE GONNA DIE FOR SURE NOW!" Wailed Khepri as the Fairy-Type MSS corruptor chased them into the woods.
"We need to hide from it!" Realized Lotus as they dodged the sharp hands of the beast while sticking close to the group.
"Guys, that log! It's big enough to hide all of us inside" Shouted Shieldback who pointed to a large mossy log.
"She's right, go in it!" Yelled Deathback who dived into a opening in the log. The others ran full speed at it and slid into the same opening. Then they held their breaths..
"What in the- NO!"
The group froze in fear as they heard a elegant voice cry out in horror as a deep but handsome voice chuckled to itself.
"The heck was that?" Whispered Shoreline in confusion as the group looked at one another nervously.
"N-no! 3-Eye, please don't!" Whimpered the elegant voice followed by what sounded like something biting into a apple. Shieldback slowly started to crawl towards the opening when Khepri stopped her.
"We don't know what's going on out there, Shield.." Mumbled Khepri nervously, putting a claw on her shoulder but Shieldback kept crawling until she could get a good look of the outside. She then noticed the Fairy-Type MSS Corruptor being pinned against a tree by a much larger, muscular MSS corruptor with two pairs of arms. it was a humanoid male with long lavender hair, its bare chest with a 12-pack. It wore a dark purple parade of dark leaves around its hips. The eyes were a tealish-grey colour but when Shieldback looked up at it, she noticed it had a third yellow eye with a pink swirl as the pupil. The Fairy-Type MSS corruptor was being pinned down against the tree by one of the pairs of arms while the other pair was feeling the chest of the Fairy-Type MSS Corruptor.
"3-Eye, please! I'm begging you!" Whimpered the Fairy-Type MSS Corruptor as the MSS corruptor pinning him down bent down and start to bite his neck.
"Dear lord.." Mumbled Khepri who was next to Shieldback and watching the scene unfold. Shieldback nodded when she heard something next to the log: Green'Vinegaroon's voice.
"Are you guys alright?" Questioned the voice quietly.
"Mhm.." Answered Shieldback who turned to the direction of the voice and came face to face with Green'Vinegaroon. She was about to scream when Green'Vinegaroon motioned her to be quiet and pointed at the Large monster pinning the Fairy-Type MSS Monster down. Shieldback nodded, now realizing the problem: How were they gonna escape alive from the Physic-type MSS Corruptor..?
== Chapter 8 ==
"Now what?" Asked Shoreline quietly from inside the log as Shieldback looked nervously.
"We need a plan to get out of this problem.." Muttered Khepri as her stinger rested gently in the log.
"The MSS Corruptor with 3 eyes is pinning down the MSS Corruptor with the peacock legs.." Observed Deathback who was hiding in the log as well.
"It's simple then: We'll get out the log and quietly get away from it!" Suggested Lotus loud enough for only the gang to hear. 
"What if they hear us though?" Questioned Brightsting worryingly.
"The Monster with 3 eyes is too busy keeping the Monster with the legs of a peacock, dude!" Reminded Green'Vinegaroon in a whispering tone. So, without making a noise, they climbed out of the log, one by one and careful not to make any sound. They slowly then crept away, just like a mouse-
SNAP!
Everybody froze in horror as Shieldback looked down and to her horror, under her claw was a snapped twig. They all looked at one another and prayed under their breath that the Physic-Type MSS Corruptor didn't hear them
"The hell was that?! Wait here, you!" Hissed the Physic-Type MSS Corruptor as a pair of ghost-like hands appeared and pinned the Fairy-Type MSS Corruptor to the tree before turning to the group.
"We're done for.." Whimpered Khepri who was hugging Shieldback real tight with tears in her eyes.
"Maybe he'll let us go!" Reassured Shieldback in a attemp to calm Khepri down as she could tell that she didn't want to die so soon. Just as she said those words, a sharpened bone flew right past her, scratching her snout and drawing blood.
"Shame you all have to die so soon. I could really do for a game of chase!" Chuckled the Physic-Type MSS Corruptor as he stood in front of the group with a fierce look in his 3 eyes. Shieldback started to back up in horror, realizing what she has gotten her pals (And Deathback) into.
"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!" Wailed Shieldback to her pals just as the Physic-Type MSS Corruptor started to sprint towards them. They all squealed in fear like a fluffle of rabbits being chased by a pack of wolves. They all turned and ran, knowing how dead they were now..
