( I figured I'd get this now, I'm still working on the other. I'm two screening it. Lol! )
Ackley jump at the suddenness of Fay's arrival. "You about scared me into my grave! Umm, Ravek just arrived with Zypher's group down on the third floor. " She informed as she brought up the video feed for that floor on the large screen.
~~
Ravek blasted a power orb to give Zypher's men time to spread to get strategic positions so they could lay down cover fire for the others. It had been a bit if bad luck to have walked into a group of soldiers coming in for supplies.
Fay looked at the screen then patted Ackley's shoulder "Thanks" She said before vanishing again, this time appearing near Ravek "Ravek, I need your help" She said, glancing to the soldiers then taking something out of her pocket and throwing it towards the group. "That will slow them down for five minutes, use the time wisely" She said to tZypher then focused on Ravek again "We found Shaylee but she's trapped in her mind. She needs you"
~~~
"You have too! That's how they win! That's how they take you from me. They want you to sleep and be stuck in your mind. Feel my hand around yours, it's real. I'm real. They will try to make you believe I'm not. That I'm just a voice in your mind." Anton explained desperately. He squeezed Shaylee's hand for emphasis and held on to her tightly.
Shaylee looked at their joined hands then back to his eyes again "I know you are real Anton, I can feel your hand in mine." She said then winced as pain hit her. She felt someone holding her down, though there was no one there? She didn't understand what was going on now, then the pain eased as did the feeling of being held down, leaving her gasping for breath and scared. What had that been?
~~~
( Lol, I dropped this last time. I know! That's such a cool effect. I can just envision that with dragons popping into view.
)
Aeval smiled as they closed in on the mountain top helipad. She noticed a Cherokee helicopter parked there with its gleaming red and white paint. But even better, no alarms were sounded thanks to Aurora's water magic.
~~~
(I don't know, maybe Kellan could be with them?). Degan slipped out from behind the wheel and softly closed the door. It was strangely quite on this floor. Aurelius had quickly shifted into her griffin form and moved cautiously down the hallway with the group. The others were armed to the teeth and ready for anything. According to Xavier's floor plan, this floor was dedicated to the laboratories. In no time, they came to the glass enclosed rooms filled with scientists busily working.
~~~
Xatia stepped forward after Ravek had gone through. She called forth her floors portal and moved so the vans could go through before following to close the portal behind them.
~~~
Racine dipped his head to her sound logic. "Very wise represent both houses and diplomatic." He conceded gracefully. He had to learn it wasn't just him anymore. "Spyro is a good choice. Even I'm inclined to favor the Sylph brothers." He admitted. The fact that he'd stopped time to save Ender was testament to that fact.
~~~
(Time skip to getting there? )
Jackdaw looked around as they flew. Ettence held fond memories for him now. Even through his heartache.
~~~
"Oh, okay. " Spyro said nervously. He swallowed hard as Foneth took his hand and began. As the connection went through, he jerked at the unexpected clarity of the bond. He made a sound of wonder as her knowledge poured into his mind at an alarming rate. "Wonders never cease." He said breathlessly.
Ender was pleased that the last two Sylphs shifted into their great dragon forms. It was amazing to see the ability awakened in his brethren. The guilt of earlier dissipated into pure joy.
~~~
Nevitha squealed at the surprise of being grabbed. She hissed, bit and spewed acid almost simultaneously.
~~~
Razeth was now buried deeply in the bottom of the river. He was very determined to stay free and avoid capture.
Aurora saw the helicopter too and grinned, glancing to Aeval "you want that, or can I have it?" She asked teasingly. Oh, she had found she liked making that thing into a useless pile of metal scraps. She came down to land and allow Garmr to dismount before they would attack the building
~~~
Kellan looked at the scientists as they worked then to the group he was with "Want to sleep-spell them or take them and tie them up?" He asked softly, watching the workers curiously. What monstrosities were they cooking up in there?
~~~
Jason led his group through the portal, looking around before shifting to his wolf, the normal one, and making his way down the hall, scenting for recent smells that would indicate if anyone was here. Ugh, this place smelled like cleaners more than anything else. He moved, checking the doors then pausing to let his wolves clear the room before going to the next.
~~~
Sorcha smiled at him and reached for his hand, gently testing to see if Avalon was still busy or not to ask her and Spyro in a more round-about way. She was glad that she and Racine could work so well together
~~~
(lol, yep)
When they arrived, the male landed outside the castle, dipping his head and neck so Jackdaw could get off and be able to go inside. "I will wait here if you need a return flight" He offered. Yeah, he liked his dragon form and didn't want to go inside since that meant shifting.
~~~
Foneth smiled at his words, letting the flow of knowledge end when she had given him as much as she could. "There, now you and Ender will be able to give this knowledge to the others as you want or need to." She said then looked over to the other dragons standing or flying around excitedly. Now they had nine great dragons here, even if they weren't fully ready to fight.
~~~
The dragonkin called out then grabbed her by the back of the neck, using her ice breath to try to knock out the baby with shock at the quick strike to the back of the skull. She would then ice over the acid injury before trying to take off with the baby's weight to head for the humans and rest, hopefully.
~~~
The dragonkin male growled as he searched for the infant, not liking that he couldn't find him here. He started searching in a circular pattern, going both up and downriver to try to find the young beast.
