## Script

***PART ONE: SISTERS***

*SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST...*

LON: Ava, come and take a look at this beautiful butterfly.

AVA: Woah, it's so... like, glowy. Is it bioluminescent? Or is it something entirely different, like I don't know, magic? Imagine how cool it would be, big sis.

LON: You seriously believe in magic?

AVA: Yeah, I just thought it might be cool, ya know? To be able to cast spells, a-and change the world. Imagine that much power in your possession, dragons from around the world would love me.

LON: Huh? You do still believe in that shit. \*sigh\*

AVA: Why? Is it not okay to believe in those, uh... shit?

LON: No, it's just that I don't believe in magic. But you can if that's what makes you happy, and also if that's what you want. \*looks over at Ava\* Nothing can tear us apart as long as I'm breathing. \*smiles at Ava\*

AVA: That's really nice, big sis. \*looks up at the shimmering sky with thousands of stars\* I'm gonna be a wizard one day. I'm gonna learn how to harness magic, and I'll learn how to open portals like the mighty Inferno.

LON: You do have a very big dream for such a small head of yours.

AVA: \*chuckles\*

LON: The world is getting smaller every second. Dragons are discovering new places, things. Soon, we'll probably run out of things to discover, and what fun will the world be anymore. But, like my mother always says...

BOTH: The world is based on your perspective. If you see the world as small, then the world will be small. But if you see the world as big, then the world will be big.

AVA: \*sigh\* Do you sometimes miss our mother and father, big sis?

*FOUR YEARS AGO*

FALCON: Shit! They're here. They're here! Jade, the soldiers are here!

JADE: What!? How did they find us?

FALCON: I don't know, wake Lon up, we need to get her out of here, before they take her and the egg.

JADE: Give me a moment, I'm gonna wake her up. \*runs over to Lon's bedroom\* Honey, wake up, we need to get you outta here.

LON: Mommy, what are you doing here?

FALCON: Shit. \*runs to Lon's bedroom\* Jade! Lon! Hurry up, the soldiers have started the ambush. We don't have much time.

LON: Daddy, what's happening?

FALCON: No time to explain, honey. \*grabs the egg from the nest and hands it over to Lon\* Here, take care of your sister for us, alright. \*leads Lon to the backdoor\*

JADE: We love you so much, baby. Please take real good care of your sister. \*kiss Lon on her head\* Now go. Be safe.

LON: \*exit through the backdoor\* Wait, what about you guys? Aren't you guys coming with me? The soldiers will be here soon.

JADE: We have important things to do, don't worry about us, baby.

LON: Alright… \*exit the house\*

FALCON: She’s gone. Jade, our daughters are safe. Now we gotta take out those soldiers. Are you ready? \*holds out his talon to Jade as if they are about to dance\*

SOLDIERS: (in the distance) Check every house, do not leave anyone behind. \*knock down the door of Falcon and Jade’s house\* You two, come with us, NOW.

FALCON: \*still dancing with Jade\* (in a calm voice) Before we do that, do you dumb-asses wanna know what’s the similarity between you evil soldiers and predators?

SOLDIER 1: We don’t care, come with us right now, or we’ll slice your throat off.

FALCON: \*leans over to the soldier’s ear\* It’s that you ass-holes are powerful, feared by others, and finally, easily trapped.

SOLDIER 1: \*gasps in horror\*

FALCON: \*signal Jade to activate the Scorch Bombs\* See you all in hell, you evil mother fuc-

\*the house explode, shattering into million pieces, erupting in flame and killing every dragons inside\*

LON: \*turn around and watch the burning house, tears rolling down her eyes\* Mother, father, … no. \*continue to go deeper into the forest, eventually stopping at a tree, where she sat down, leaning her head against it while holding the egg\* No-nothing (voice breaking) will tear us apart… as long as I’m breathing… Ava. \*continue crying\*

*PRESENT DAY*

LON: Yeah, I do miss them, a lot. But I can’t find a way to escape from my past, it just keeps following me… haunting everyday. While sleeping, I would sometimes have nightmares about that day. That shit won’t leave me alone. \*sigh deeply\*

AVA: I’m sorry for what you have to go through, big sis. \*leans on Lon’s arm\*

LON: Don’t be sorry, it wasn’t your fault that those things happened. Besides, you were there when it happened, except you were in the egg, and I was carrying you.

AVA: \*chuckle\* I love you, big sis.

LON: \*smile at Ava\* I love you, too, but by a lot more.

\*bell toll in the distance\*

LON: Oh crap, the competition is today, come on, we gotta get there quick and get ourselves some partners.

AVA: \*lift into the air\* Yay, we’re going on a mission to kick some dragons’ asses.

*TWO MINUTES LATER*

LON: (to Nightflight) Seriously?

NIGHTFLIGHT: Why? What’s wrong?

LON: What do you mean what’s wrong? You just pair me and my sister up with the two biggest what… retards in the village, how are we supposed to win now?

ENDER: (to Lon) Hey, that’s hurtful, we’re not that bad, you know, we’re actually pretty useful.

LON: Shut up, alright, I wasn’t talking to you.

FATE: (to Lon) Yeah, I’m a very good fighter, and useful, and a great dragon to have around when you’re down. I’m definitely better and more useful that you sister here \*points at Ava\* so don’t call me a retard.

LON: \*walks over to Fate, slap him on his snout, grasp him on the neck and pin him against a wall\* Do not disrespect my sister, understand? Especially not in front of her, or I’ll have a knife stick up your ass next time.

FATE: \*gulps\* Well, I just wanna say that I’m um… useful, that’s all. \*chuckles nervously\* Uh… can you get your claw off of my neck now, please?

AVA: Big sis, I think it’s time you should let go of him.

LON: \*releases Fate\* Just to quickly clarify, I could’ve snapped your neck at that moment, but you’re lucky I didn’t.

NIGHTFLIGHT: Come on, Lon, you can’t resort to violence on your teammate, save it later for your enemies.

ENDER: So, uh… now that everything is settled down, should we maybe try and get to know each other a bit more, since we’re gonna be stuck as teammates anyway.

AVA: Ooh ooh, I’ll start. My name is Ava, and my sister here is Lon, you guys probably know that by now, we fled our old village four years ago before I hatched, when Lon was two years old. \*explains more\*

ENDER: Sorry about your past, it must have been terrible losing both your parents at such youn-

NIGHTFLIGHT: \*walks up onto the stage\* Greetings, everyone. I’m sure that all of you came here today to compete for a chance to win the reward of 150 portions of food.

\*the crowd started cheering\*

AVA: 150 portions?! That's enough to feed us for like, more than two months. Maybe even more. Big sis, this is gonna be our chance.

LON: Yeah, we’ll win this. No matter what it’s gonna take. \*smile at Ava\*

NIGHTFLIGHT: The task for today is… steal the Exo Diamond, located inside of a cave from the Northern Island and bring it back to me. The first team to do it will receive a handsome prize. The challenge will start at midnight, if anyone were caught illegally starting before the time, their ENTIRE team will be disqualified and be rejected from further participation on future events.

\*dragons in the crowd start murmuring to each other\*

LON: \*looks over at Fate\* Bet you one of these dumb-asses are gonna break the rule and get caught tonight. It’ll get rid of another team and help us, but not by a lot.

FATE: \*looking away from her\* Oh yeah, and how much do you want to bet on that?

LON: Let me think about it, how about three portions, is that good enough for you?

AVA: But sis, are you sure about that? It’s our food, a-and we’ll starve if you lose the bet.

LON: Don’t worry about that, Ava. I’m sure there are more retards out there other than these two. And if I’m wrong, well, then we can just get the food back by winning the competition.

FATE: \*finally looking back at Lon\* Let me ask you a question, who taught you how to be that cocky, or you just learn it yourself.

LON: Great question, NONE.

NIGHTFLIGHT: All of you have three hour until the competition begins, so prepare everything that you’ll need for tonight. Remember, do not start until midnight.

LON: Come on, Ava, let’s get you home to rest so you’ll be ready for tonight. I’ll wake you up when it’s time.

FATE: Hey, um… can Ender and I tag along with you, because we have nowhere to go tonight. It’s also late out, and the dragons will probably kill us out here.

LON: \*sigh\* Tonight only. You guys leave by tomorrow, understand?

FATE: \*nod and follow Lon and Ava to their house\* We’re gonna need a plan, a good one to be exact, if we want to beat the other ass-holes and win this thing.

*ARRIVING AT LON AND AVA’S HOUSE*

LON: \*open the front door and enter the house\* Do not touch anything, if you break something, I’ll kill you right where you’re standing.

FATE: \*sit down on the floor\* Alright, we should start discussing our plan, ooh, (to Lon) do you guys have any food by any chance? Because I think our first priority is to get enough energy for the competition tonight.

LON: No, we don’t have anything at the moment. Actually, Ava and I haven’t eaten anything for the last two days. \*smirk smile and rolling her eyes\*

ENDER: Uh, hello guys? We’re kinda getting off-topic here, shouldn’t we get back to our discussion?

LON: Yeah, you’re right, we’re definitely getting off-topic. There’s still two hours and thirty minutes left until the competition starts. So, this is what I think. If we get to the island first, Fate and I can go inside the cave and get the Exo Diamond, while Ender and Ava can stay outside.

AVA: What?! But we want to help, too.

LON: Ava, that’s not what I meant. When you and Ender are outside, try to trick other dragons as if you are flying back to the village. Hopefully, some dragons would fall for it and try to chase you down. If they do, you and Ender would fly as fast as you can, understood?

FATE: So, after we get the diamond, (to Lon) you and I can just book out of there?

LON: No, because then the other dragons will realize we have the diamond, and within a few seconds, there will be hundreds of dragons swarming us from every side.

ENDER: What happens if Ava and I get caught?

LON: \*think for a moment\* Well… punch them in the snout as hard as you can, then just run for your life. So, are we all understood? I don’t want any retards \*look at Fate\* in the middle of the competition not knowing what he’s doing.

FATE: \*sigh\* We still have a lot of time left, so my suggestion is that you guys go take a rest. I can stay up and watch the time and wake you guys up when it’s time.

LON: Oh no, you don’t. How are we supposed to trust you? Or if you decide to leave and sabotage the team? You know what, if you’re gonna stay up, then I will too, so I can slit your throat if you decide to leave.

AVA: \*yawn loudly\* I’m gonna go to sleep now, y’all can continue arguing with each other about who should stay up and who doesn't. \*lay down and go to sleep next to Ender, who was already asleep\*

FATE: Well, that leaves the two of us left. \*lean against the wall\* Can you maybe… uh, tell me more about yourself? I think we may have gotten off on the wrong talon when we first met.

LON: \*scoff\* Why don’t you do it first? Tell me more about yourself, about your life. And if you don’t mind me asking, how did you end up at such a shit-hole place like this?

FATE: \*think for a moment\* You and I, we are actually not that different. \*look at Lon, who is now sitting up\* Similar to you, I also lost both of my parents when I was young. They died because of this one promise.

LON: \*look over at Fate\* What promise?

FATE: When I was three, my parents owed the leader of the village some money. They would get down on their knees and beg the leader to give them more time, so the leader gave them two weeks to get the money. After two weeks, my parents still couldn’t pay the things they owe.

LON: And so what happened?

FATE: The guards came to my house the next day. They slit my parents' throat right in the center of the village, where every dragon, including me, could see it. I think it was to strike fear into the villagers, and it worked. The leader took care of me for the next week, and then she sent me here, where I spent the last three years, until I met you. \*a drop of tear fall from his eye\*

LON: \*nod\* Well, my sister believes in this one legendary dragon named Inferno. I’ve read some stories about him, and according to one, his entire tribe was killed when he was young. This world is a shitty place, dragons constantly kill each other instead of helping each other.

FATE: My only goal right now is to get out of this stupid village, and I’m gonna burn that bitch to ashes. After that, my life is practically complete.

LON: You sure do hate that leader a lot. I used to hate the soldiers that killed my parents. I would swore to kill those soldiers, but after a while, I would get over it.

FATE: This is different, a lot more different. I can’t believe that they would take my parents’ life for some money they owe.

LON: All these stories are making me tired. \*yawn quietly\*

FATE: Well, then go to sleep, I can continue staying up and watch the time. I’ll make sure to wake you up when it’s time.

LON: That’s not gonna happen. I can’t possibly trust you with my stuff, \*yawn\* and… especially not with my weapons laying on the floor. I won’t know what you’re gonna do with them, but I can predict you’ll most likely use them to kill me.

FATE: Wowwwww… seriously? After all that talking we had and you still can’t trust me? You sure are one stubborn dragon. \*lay down on the ground\*

LON: I am… \*smile\*

*2 HOURS LATER*

FATE: \*shaking Lon’s right shoulder\* Lon, wake up. We gotta get there now, the competition is starting in thirty minutes. You probably fell asleep by accident.

ENDER: Guys, let’s go. I see dragons heading toward the competition.

LON: Shit, sorry about that. Where’s Ava?

AVA: \*standing at the front door\* I’m here, big sis, don’t worry about me. Now hurry up, we can’t be late for this.

\*the group flew and arrived at the event, and they saw a group of three dragons being dragged out\*

LON: Ha! I was right. \*look and point at Fate and laugh\* I knew there are some dumb-asses out here. Now you owe me that three portions of food. Ahhh, it feels good to be right.

NIGHTFLIGHT: Allow me to repeat. If any dragons were caught starting before the time, their ENTIRE team will be disqualified, meaning you’ll be dragged out. And you’ll also be rejected from future participation. There are still fifteen minutes before the event starts.

FATE: We still have some time left, we can probably go over the plan again, just so we’re all on the same talon. And, you know, \*look over at Lon and smile\* not have some retards in the middle of the competition not knowing what they’re doing.

LON: \*smile back\*

AVA: One hundred and sixty eight, one hundred and sixty nine, one hundred and seventy. There are one hundred and seventy dragons and a total of fifty one teams in this competition. This is gonna be really hard, but I know we can do it.

ENDER: Actually, there are one hundred and sixty seven dragons left. \*point at a team\* Another team has been dragged out.

LON: Good, it's just another shitty team we don’t have to deal with. There is still time. Ender?

ENDER: \*look at Lon\* What do you want with me?

LON: When you and Ava were asleep, Fate and I talked about his backstory, can you maybe tell me more about yourself? How did you end up here in the first place?

ENDER: I came here six months ago, but the rest, \*think about it\* I don’t wanna talk about it.

AVA: I understand you. We live in a world of cruelty. Those in power see us as some toys to play with, and they think they can do whatever they want with us. And we could do nothing about it.

NIGHTFLIGHT: The event is about to start, get your group ready and line up at the starting line. You have one minutes left.

LON: Here we go. Don’t mess anything up, or I’ll drown you at the nearby lake tonight.

\*all the competitors line up at the starting line\*

NIGHTFLIGHT: Wings up! Three, two, one…

*TO BE CONTINUED IN PART II - THIEVES*

***PART TWO: THIEVES***

*FOUR YEARS AGO*

SOLDIERS: (in the distance) There she is, on the ground, the one with the burned tail. We gotta report her to Exo and get her treated immediately. \*place Ledona on the stretcher and bring her to Exo’s lair\*

LEDONA: \*cough\* No…

*AT EXO’S LAIR*

DOCTOR: What happened out there? I mean, like what really happened that caused her tail to be burned this badly? Normal fire shouldn’t cause that much damage to a dragon’s tail.

EXO: I don’t know. But the soldiers told me that two savage dragons trapped some soldiers inside the house and blew it up. She was the only dragon in the group that was able to make it out of the explosion alive. How is her condition? Can you take care of her?

DOCTOR: She inhaled too much smokes from the fire, but if th-

EXO: If? I want her alive, understood?

DOCTOR: Yes, sir. When the operation goes perfectly, she’ll live. However, her tail is completely destroyed, so it’ll need to be amputated and replaced with an artificial one. What do you think?

EXO: \*look at Ledona, who was laying on the bed, groaning in pain\* Tie her up, start the operation now. Make sure she lives, because if she doesn't, I’ll have your head on my bedroom’s wall tonight. \*leave the room\*

DOCTOR: \*grabs a sharp needle with some sort of greenish liquid inside\* (to Ledona) Now stay still, soldier, you will be fine, everything will be over before you know it, you will be just fine.

*PRESENT DAY*

FATE: We’ve been flying for thirty minutes, when will we get there?

LON: The Northern Island is about a thousand miles away from the village, the fastest we should get there is probably by tomorrow night. It’s an island located in the middle of nowhere, hidden by the vast ocean. Many dragons tried to find the island, but they all ended up to the same fate, but I’m sure we’ll be fine.

ENDER: Just fine? Hundreds of dragons got lost and died. I didn’t remember signing up for this shit.

LON: Well, you can always turn around and fly back to the village. That way, when we find the Exo Diamond, we can split the prize into three ways instead of four.

FATE: \*look over at Lon\* You seem to know a lot about the island, Lon.

AVA: That’s because Lon and I went there before we first came to the village. We went to the island to study the behavior of some poisonous plants for one of our project at our old academy and \*look at Ava, who was staring at her\* um…

FATE: \*noticed Lon staring at Ava\* So, is there anything else that we need to know about you? You know, some secrets you might not tell us yet.

*AT EXO’S LAIR*

EXO: One hundred and fifteen villagers were slaughtered from our recent attack, well done. \*turn to Ledona\* How’s the tail? The doctor did a very fine job with it.

LEDONA: It’s doing good. I kinda like it better than my old, crappy tail, as I can stab dragons and slit their throats with this new one.

EXO: We live in a world where we’re treated like shit. If you want to rise to the top one day, you must make others around you fear you. That way, you won’t feel threatened.

LEDONA: \*sigh\* I’m gonna go outside and get some air. Is there anything else you want me to do? Any missions, because I feel like slaughtering some dragons right now.

EXO: There is, actually. A few days ago, I found the exact route to the Exo Diamond. \*chuckle wickedly\* Funny how the diamond is named after me. By following this route, you can safely get to the diamond without getting lost or killed by anything. But, the Glistbourn Village recently hosted an event to retrieve the diamond. I want you to intercept the event, and make sure nobody gets their talon on the diamond except me, understood?

LEDONA: I understand, master.

EXO: Go now, the event has started, there is no time to lose.

*BACK AT THE RACE*

LON: According to some scrolls that I’ve read, the Exo Diamond is a magical gemstone contained inside of an orb made from the material Trysactium. It is said that the orb came from somewhere in space. The diamond contains enough cosmic energy to destroy any island, and sometimes can even destroy continents.

FATE: \*look at Lon horrily\* Then why do Nightflight want it? Shouldn’t we be worrying about that instead?

LON: What Nightflight wants with the diamond is none of my concerns. My only goal here is to win this thing. Besides, I don’t think he would do such things.

FATE: But what if Nightflight is not who he seems to be and uses the diamond to destroy other continents? Imagine how many lives he’s going to take. Do you not care about others?

LON: \*speak slowly\* Their lives are not my concern. \*walk over to Fate\* You really believe that dragons still care for each other? Because if they do care, none of us would be here right now, and our parents would still be alive. This is the world we live in, a broken, shitty world. You gotta learn to accept that this is the reality. \*walk away\*

AVA: \*look at Lon, then at Fate\*

ENDER: (to Lon) You’re wrong. \*go to the edge of the cliff and stand there\* I never had any parents growing up, so I would usually live in the street of my old town. There was that one day that I will never forget.

LON: \*continue listening\*

ENDER: I was starving on that day, but then a random dragon suddenly approached me and offered a loaf of bread. She said, “Everything will be fine now.” \*sigh\* If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be here right now, and I would never get to know you guys.

FATE: Well, it’s late out now. Maybe y’all can lay down and get your eyes some rest, while I stay up and check for any dangers.

LON: Back at it again, pumpkin?

FATE: Okay, I don’t know if I heard you correctly, but did you just seriously call me a pumpkin? When did you even establish that?

LON: I’m gonna dodge that second question right there, and yep, that’ll be your new nickname. It’s kinda cute, I hope you like it, unless you want a different one, something MORE cute, like… poppy?

FATE: \*chuckle\* Please don’t call me pumpkin or poppy. And do not get your sister to call me that either. I’m serious, do not. I mean it.

*THE NEXT DAY… AT THE EDGE OF THE CONTINENT*

LON: There, that’s the edge of the continent. Anything beyond that will be just a large body of water, so if you get tired mid-flight, you’ll basically drown to death.

ENDER: \*point toward the storm\* What the hell is that storm cloud over there? (to Lon) You never told me that there is gonna be a large-ass storm between us and the diamond.

LON: Well, you never bother to ask me about it. \*see a dragon being thrown out of the storm\* There goes another. Alright, we don’t have much time, so I’ll only go over this once. This storm you see in front of you has a wind speed as fast as a typical cheetah… running from a dragon, so don’t get blown off. But if you do, then
