Chapter 21
"What the frag was that?" Tilic asked, gulping nervously.
Spider had stopped making the call and had lowered his head. He stared at the small army that was surrounding them with a smug - almost evil - grin on his face.
"Yer guys are in tttrrrrrooooouuuubbbblllleeeee." Spider said in a child-like manner. Shriek had a similar grin on her face and the others were looking around nervously, not knowing what was about to happen.
"What the frag are yer taking 'bout?" another one of Tilic's former pack mates asked, "Yer lot helpless, there's nothin' that yer can..."
Suddenly there were screams of pain and agony as something attacked them. Sligs and Big Bro's were cut in two and vehicles were sent flying as it they were nothing but small pebbles by an unseen assailant. The army went into panic and disarray as a lightning bolt came from nowhere and fried two more vehicles.
"What's going on?" Kilk asked as he flattened himself against the ground, "Who's attacking them? I don't see anything..."
"Friend of mine..." Spider said calmly as he wrapped his tail around his handfeet and a 'just chilling' manner, "who also happens ter be family."
"Who would that be?" Hoth asked.
He got his answer a moment later, when something huge landed not next to them...but around them and appeared out of thin air; enveloping them in its shadow. It was none other then Dragadon herself...and she was at her full size...a whopping 120 feet tall.
She shot another bolt of lightning at the now fleeing army, frying another vehicle, and roared to ensure that they would keep running.
"Nice work Drag!" Spider laughed as Dragadon carefully stepped away from them and shrunk down to her smallest size, "That should keep 'em runnin' until they reach the north pole!"
"And may they freeze when they get there." Dragadon added with a grin as she approached Spider and the rest of them, who all had shocked looked on their faces. "Hmmm...You and Shriek have been busy..." Dragadon added with mischievous grin, as she looked over the rest of the Drakkics.
"Ack! No Drag they are not our kids! It hasn't been THAT long!" Spider said, blushing slightly.
That snapped everyone out of their state of shock and everyone started laughing.
"I know that kin." Dragadon laughed, "Jus' pokin' some fun at ya. So...I take it intros are in order?"
"Um..yes...guys..and gals...this is Dragadon. My..no our half-sister."
"Half-sister?" Kilk said padding up to her, "How can that be?"
"She is one of the three creatures used ter create us." Spider explained, "That makes her family in a way."
"A rather...large and...powerful one." Lunic muttered, "Don' want...to get on....her...bad side."
"You better believe it." Dragadon smiled, "Now...who are the rest of you?"
The rest of the introductions were made and Dragadon explained that she had been away on business on her home world and had only just ported in when she heard his call.
"Perfect timing." Hoth commented.
"You could say that." Dragadon said with a nod, "However, I can't stay long...I am needed back on my home world and was only granted a temporary leave to check on how you were doing."
"Either way its good ter see yer again Drag." Spider said.
"Aye...it is good to see you again too kin and to meet your new pack."
"If it is true yer can't stay..." Tilic piped up, "Then Spider and the rest of them need ter get movin'"
"Why is that?" Charr asked.
"'Cause so or later the Cartel will gather their wits and send more soldiers after yer...so it would be best if yer kept movin' ter keep them off yer case."
"Good point." Spider said sadly, "and the thing is...we don' know if they want ter jus' catch us or kill us. So we better get movin' now."
"I will stay as long as I can..." Dragadon added, "Maybe I can get someone else to watch over you in my absence..."
"I would appreciate it Drag." Spider said as the group rose to their feet and prepared to leave.
"What about you Tilic?" Invy asked, "Are you coming with us?"
"Yer are welcome ter...if yer want ter." Spider added.
"No thanks..." Tilic said sadly, "After what jus' happened I need ter be alone fer a bit. Ter gather my thoughts and decide what ter der with my life. Maybe I'll had fer uncharted territory...and explore a bit."
"Whatever path in life you chose...may the Golden One protect you." Dragadon said as the group started to move.
"Uhh thanks...Good luck ter yer!" Tilic said with a wave as he walked off in a different direction.
"Good luck ter yer too Tilic!" Spider cried and the others repeated him. So the group headed out...away from the place most of them had been born and raised and onward to a new life. Ready or not they all knew they had to face the challenges that lay ahead...and conquer them...or die trying.…
