Pom- This is so much fun! Right, Blue?

Blue- *looking down in the water* uh huh.

Mudslide: Inferna, have you been here before?

Inferna: I know exactly where I’m going.

Mudslide: but wasn’t this a war zone?

Inferna: that doesn’t prevent travel. *looks like she was dodging an implied question*

Cascade: I’ve never been this far out in the ocean.

Coelacanth: you’ll like some of the islands, some have a feel like the rainforest.

Stormbringer: as long as there aren’t any volcanic ones.

Cascade: didn’t you say that was far north?

Stormbringer: I’d rather not have that incident again. *he sighs*

Pom- Is it almost suntime?

Blue- Almost. just keep flying.

Pom- hmph

Inferna: I’d say you have about 30 minutes, or until we reach the next island.

Mudslide: …

Cascade: Cascade: I could use another sun time myself.

Misty: I’m surprised you know your way around.

Pom- *yawn*

Coelacanth: please don’t make me carry that dragon.

Stormbringer: I’ll carry them if they fall asleep.

Mudslide: Inferna, how do you know this place anyway?

*Inferna doesn’t respond*

Pom- III WANNNAA HAAVEE SSUUNN TIIMMEEE

Inferna: we’re almost there.

Cascade: this is a rescue mission, not a vacation.

Mudslide: Inferna, don’t keep dodging my questions.

Inferna: you want the answer? You’re gonna hate me for it.

Mudslide: does it look like I’m going to say no? *she already looks angry with Inferna. The island’s coming up, it’s actually pretty big*

Inferna: … fine. I’m ex-military, forward scout and soldier. I scouted out the island thinking it world provide a good forward base for the bombing of your summer palace while concealing skywing operations. My division attacked, and thus, I was there. I threw Abyss in the water, which wasn’t smart of me, but at the time, I thought he was dead anyway.

Misty: … I thought you looked familiar. *she looked angry as well, but Mudslide looked ready to kill her right there*

Inferna: I met him one other time during the war, is about a year before it was over. I had deserted, but I still kept patrol over the seaside border. I spotted him, he looked lost and confused, like he just woke up. Another skywing and I interrogated him, didn’t hear anything that useful, and we let him go at the north border. He never knew my name until the end of the war.

*Mudslide looked livid, she flew closer reaching out to grab Inferna but Coelacanth pulled her away*

Coelacanth: *Whispering to Mudslide so no one else could here* don’t. It’s not worth it, and the war made us do some terrible things too. This was just unlucky for both of them to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. She even deserted and they’re friends now.

Mudslide: *whispering back* it doesn’t excuse the fact she set the skywings up to rain fire down on our queen’s palace!

Blue- Okay, craap went from 0 to 100 real quick-

Mirage: you mean.. that same cave we’ve been using..

Inferna: was the same place I had interrogated Abyss roughly a year earlier. I don’t want to talk about it. I can’t change the past, if I could, I would.

Ivy: yikes.

Stormbringer: you really weren’t kidding when you said you almost killed Abyss.

Inferna: shut up, I just want to forget about it. *she sounds irritated, but there is an undertone of regret, Mudslide seemed to picked up on that*

Stormbringer: …

*Coelacanth and Mudslide were still whispering to each other, but Mudslide seemed slightly less agitated*

*you all land on one of the beaches of the island, nothing around besides ocean.*

Cascade: alright, I suppose we’re going to be forming groups?

Mirage: yeah. Who’s going with who?

*Inferna was sitting by herself staring out over the ocean, the sun was nearly right above you*

Blue- I dont really mind who im paired up with. I just need to keep my eye on Pom.

Hear*

Mirage: it’s settled then?

Inferna: I guess so.

[too be continued]

kk

To*

Coelcanth: I’d like to keep underwater groups to two dragons per group. So maybe we should have two search groups. That way, we’ll stick together and have a better chance.

Mirage: I like the idea, it’s less dangerous.

Blue- I see

*Mudslide had walked over to Inferna, they were both talking to each other, but you couldn’t hear what they were saying*

Stormbringer: alright, if we’re deciding groups, who’s with who?

Cascade: I guess I’ll go with the other rainwings, just case.

Mirage: I guess that’s a land group decided..

Mudslide: I’ll both with Inferna’s group, Misty can tag along, we’ll help underwater.

Ivy: I’ll go with you guys then as well.

Mirage: Stormbringer and I are a group, then. Coelacanth’s team can decide who they’ll follow. After we’re done searching this island, we can split up to search the surrounding ones.

Blue- so where do we start?

Pom- I dunno, but this sounds fun

Cascade: actually, does Misty want to join my group? I just feel a little uncomfortable with her in Inferna’s group.

Ivy: relax. If she tries anything you’re thinking of, she’s going to regret it.

Misty: just like Inferna regrets the bombing of the summer palace.

Inferna: can we please stop talking about it? I wasn’t even there when they bombed it.

Misty: sure, of course you weren’t. You had conveniently deserted the army, I forgot. *she glared at her*

Mudslide: alright, maybe you should switch groups.

...

Cascade: Blue, do you want to switch groups with Misty?

Misty: …

Blue- Sure, but Im worried about Pom

Mudslide: hm..

Cascade: I won’t let Pom out of my sight.

Misty: fine then.

Blue- Sure, then. Pom, do whatever they say.

Pom- ok!

Marshlurker: *he yawns and stretches*

Cascade: alright, I suppose we’re going to be forming groups?

*Inferna was sitting by herself staring out over the ocean, the sun was nearly right above you*

Coelcanth: I’d like to keep underwater groups to two dragons per group. So maybe we should have two search groups. That way, we’ll stick together and have a better chance.

Mirage: I like the idea, it’s less dangerous.

*Mudslide had walked over to Inferna, they were both talking to each other, but you couldn’t hear what they were saying*

Stormbringer: alright, if we’re deciding groups, who’s with who?

Mudslide: I’ll both with Inferna’s group, Misty can tag along, we’ll help underwater.

Ivy: I’ll go with you guys then as well.

Mirage: Stormbringer and I are a group, then. Cascade can decide who she goes with.

Marshlurker; “I’m good with either group”

Cascade: actually, does Misty want to join my group? I just feel a little uncomfortable with her in Inferna’s group.

Ivy: relax. If she tries anything you’re thinking of, she’s going to regret it.

Misty: just like Inferna regrets the bombing of the summer palace I’m sure.

Inferna: can we please stop talking about it? I wasn’t even there when they bombed it.

Misty: sure, of course you weren’t. You had conveniently deserted the army, I forgot. *she glared at her*

Mudslide: alright, maybe you should switch groups. I could take Bedrock while Coelacanth babysits Misty for a while.

Cascade: I guess I’ll take Marshlurker then.

Marshlurker: *Flies over your Cascade*

Cascade: we’ll go into the forest then?

Inferna: we kind of have to, it’s not like we can search underwater.

Mudslide: we’ve got that part covered.

Marshlurker: “I can go underwater for about an hour”

Bedrock: we have gills, it might be easier for us to stay underwater.

Stormbringer: are we ready?

Marshlurker: “Yeah”

[To be continued in part 3]

(That’s released right?)

[yeah]

*For once in her life, Inferna wasn’t the first one up, or that’s what Ivy thought when she came out of the cave, she look ready to fly. Then she saw Inferna*

Ivy: “getting up early..” hah.. actually this is the first time in a while where she wasn’t up early.

Inferna: wrong again.

Ivy: oh..

*Inferna sat up and looked around*

Inferna: is anyone else awake besides the three of us?

Marshlurker: *he opens his eyes* “I am”

Inferna: … so just us three?

Ivy: I woke everyone else up. Except for everyone out here.

Marshlurker: *he stretchesi

Inferna: alright, I’m getting up then since we need to leave. *she gets up and stretches her wings for flight*

*Mudslide wakes up, yawning*

Mudslide: .. I think I overslept again. *she takes a minute to stretch* Coelacanth, get up *Tapping his shoulder*

Coelacanth: hm..?

Mudslide: we need to wake everyone else up.

*Coelacanth gets up and wakes the other hybrids, Mirage leaves the cave, followed by Cascade and Stormbringer*

Cascade: are we ready to go?

Inferna: just about.

Marshlurker: *He is standing now, not putting weight on his hurt leg*

Coelacanth: since Mirage suggested it, lets have Inferna lead us.

Marshlurker: “Alright”

Inferna: um… ok guys, I’ll do my best.

Cascade: what’s wrong?

Inferna: nothing, Let’s just go.

*Inferna takes off first, followed by Ivy and the hybrids. Mirage, Cascade, and Stormbringer are the last ones in the air.*

Marshlurker: *He follows*

*after a couple hours of flying over the ocean, you begin to fly overland again, which quickly turns into a bunch of islands, you are now in the bay of a thousand scales*

*Mudslide tries to start a conversation with Inferna, Ivy flies to the back of the group to talk to Mirage*

Mudslide: Inferna, have you been here before?

Inferna: I know exactly where I’m going.

Mudslide: but wasn’t this a war zone?

Inferna: that doesn’t prevent travel. *looks like she was dodging an implied question*

Cascade: I’ve never been this far out in the ocean.

Coelacanth: you’ll like some of the islands, some have a feel like the rainforest.

Stormbringer: as long as there aren’t any volcanic ones.

Cascade: didn’t you say that was far north?

Stormbringer: I’d rather not have that incident again. *he sighs*

Marshlurker: *has nothing to add*

*you make fast progress across the islands*

Mirage: how long till we get to the island now?

Inferna: I’d say you have about 30 minutes, or until we reach the next island.

Mudslide: …

Cascade: *looking at the sun* I could use another sun time to be quite honest.

Stormbringer: I’ll carry you if you fall asleep.

Coelacanth: I hope you don’t fall asleep.

Cascade: I won’t.

Marshlurker: “…”

Misty: I’m surprised you know your way around here.

Mudslide: how do you know this place anyway?

*Inferna is silent*

*Ivy began to fly back towards the front, the other dragons seem to be caught up in their own conversations*

Marshlurker: *he speculates about Ivy and Inferna’s rings*

Inferna: we’re almost there.

Mudslide: Inferna, don’t keep dodging my questions.

Inferna: you want the answer? You’re going to hate me for it.

Mudslide: does it look like I’m going to say no? *she already looks angry with Inferna for dodging the question. The island’s coming up, it’s actually pretty big*

Inferna: … fine. I’m ex-military, forward scout and soldier. I scouted out the island thinking it world provide a good forward base for the bombing of your summer palace while concealing skywing operations. My division attacked, and thus, I was there.

I spotted him, he looked lost and confused, like he just woke up. Another skywing and I interrogated him, didn’t hear anything that useful, and we let him go at the north border. He never knew my name until the end of the war. *she looked like she regretted both actions*

*Mudslide looked livid, she flew closer reaching out to grab Inferna but Coelacanth pulled her away*

Coelacanth: *Whispering to Mudslide so no one else could here* don’t. It’s not worth it, and the war made us do some terrible things too. This was just unlucky for both of them to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. She even deserted and they’re friends now.

Mudslide: *whispering back* it doesn’t excuse the fact she set the skywings up to rain fire down on one of our queen’s palaces!

Marshlurker: *he looks between them, not sure what to do.*

Bedrock: you seem like a nice and friendly dragon now. You’re going to save Abyss right now.

Inferna: friendly wouldn’t be the word I would use.

Mirage: I would.

Cascade: what are you talking about Inferna? *she looked confused*

*Misty looked angrier now*

Mirage: I just had this thought.. that same cave we’ve been using..

Inferna: was the same place I had interrogated Abyss roughly a year earlier. I don’t want to talk about it. I can’t change the past, if I could, I would.

Ivy: yikes.

Stormbringer: you’ve changed since then like Bedrock said. That cave doesn’t have the same use now as it did then.

Inferna: shut up, I just want to forget about it. *she sounds irritated, but there is an undertone of regret, Mudslide seemed to have picked up on that, Inferna flew further ahead and ignored everyone else.*

Bedrock: erm.. Misty? You okay—

Misty: *whispering to bedrock* I don’t understand how you can sympathize for her.

*Coelacanth and Mudslide were still whispering to each other, but Mudslide seemed less agitated*

*you all land on one of the beaches of the island, nothing around besides ocean. You do see a distant island though, just on the horizon*

Marshlurker: *he stays quiet, not knowing the background behind what’s going on*
