LivingTale - Act 2 Chapter 1

BOOM! Hexa woke up hearing the loud sound of a wall breaking. He looked around for a bit. It was pitchback, like always. He moved his right arm only to be stopped by the chains that kept him in that spot. He let out a weak sigh and closed his golden eyes again. BOOM! BOOM! Hexa woke up again. “That sound... it’s getting louder.” Hexa muttered weakly “Almost like... something is... coming...” “This way Jack! I know he is in here somewhere!” said a voice Hexa could not recognize. It sounded like a girl followed up by a male voice “Why do you save this dragon so badly?” “I can always have a new pet dragon! Haha!” the female voice answered the male “Besides, I see enormous potential in that thing. The cell is right here Jack!”

Hexa heard footsteps coming to his cell. “EEP!” Hexa whimpered under his breath as his cell door was busted down. Hexa could hardly see anything besides two figures: a short female with a witch hat wearing a dress and a tall, lean male that wore an outfit a butler would. As the female figure walked up to him slowly, while Hexa backed away in fear. “D-don’t come closer!” Hexa tried to shout as the female figure put her hand on Hexa’s head. The hand felt soft and relaxing, so relaxing that Hexa fell asleep once again.

“That was easy.” Rin said as she cut the chains around Hexa’s neck and limbs “He’s so soft and comfy.” “Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just hurry up already.” Diamond Jack replied a bit annoyed “Archer is waiting for us at the ship.” Rin picked up Hexa’s short body as Jack opened a portal back to their ship.

Rin laid Hexa down on the bed that was next to a computer that Len and Firepaw sat nearby. “Is this the dragon that Rin was crying over?” Firepaw asked as he took Hexa’s tail and watched it grow slightly. “Yes, it is.” Len answered back, standing up from his chair to grab a piece of paper “It’s a Golden Eyed Dragon, one of the strongest and rarest life forms in the world.” “And one of the fluffiest” Rin continued, laying her head on Hexa’s long black tail. “Do not get too attached to it Rin. It might be dangerous.” Firepaw said. “He is right. This... dragon did come from Ainsler. Who knows what he did to it.” Jack continued for Firepaw. “Give it a chance already-” Rin stopped as Hexa’s body slightly moved.

Everybody in the room went silent as Hexa opened his eyes and sat up on the bed, rubbing his eyes and yawning from his deep sleep. Hexa looked around the room for a bit before noticing Jack, Len, Rin, and Firepaw looking at him. “AH!” Hexa screamed in fear, trying to back up into a corner. It did not take long for Rin to eventually go after Hexa, hugging him tightly making sure he could not move. Fun, AceRR, and Archer entered the room at that moment. “Is this the dragon Rin was talking about?” Fun asked walking up to Rin and the scared Hexa. “It is indeed Master Fun,” answered Len as he kneeled in respect.

Master Fun reached out his hand to Hexa. “Well then Hexa, it is an honor to meet you. Let us not waste time now, we have work to do.”

Cheesepaw landed on Yuro’s arm. Cheesepaw looked around. Everything and everyone were stuck in his Time Spike (Cheesepaw’s ability to stop time for over 10 minutes). Cheesepaw looked back at Yuro, looking him dead in the eye. He did not know what he wanted to do to him. Something painful perhaps? Cheesepaw shook his head at that idea. It had to be something that would teach him to leave Coplo and himself alone.

Cheesepaw sighed. Pulling a simple prank would not stop Yuro, Cheesepaw knew, but actual real pain would. Cheesepaw would simply scratch Yuro’s arm deep enough for him to see his bone and leaped back to the pavement to end the Time Spike.

“AHHHHHHHHH!” Yuro screamed in pain as soon as time moved forward again. “HOW- WHAT!?!? YOU’LL PAY FOR THAT!!” Yuro readied a powerful kick that Cheesepaw knew was strong enough to destroy the school building. Cheesepaw swiftly dodged the attack and summoned a boulder bigger than Yuro himself and pushed (yes, physically pushed it) into Yuro.

“OOF!” went Yuro as he was slammed into the same tree Coplo was laying on. Yuro did manage to push the rock off him but was suddenly stopped by Cheesepaw who moved faster than light speed toward Yuro. “Stand down Yuro,” Cheesepaw said coldly as he held one of his sharp claws near Yuro’s neck. “You have lost. Got it?” “I have-” Yuro was stopped by Cheesepaw once again. “If I wanted to, I could kill you here and now, in front of everybody. Face it Yuro, you lost this time.” Cheesepaw said as he leaped off Yuro to a knocked-out Colo. “Time to move on.” Yuro was silent, but got up a left, knowing that if he continued, he would not be alive to tell his tale. Cheesepaw smiled, happy that he was able to keep his friend safe.
