While everyone kept on running and the Heartless is chasing them, suddenly Charlie went into a classroom. "Group," Charlie spoke. "In here," then everyone went into the room and closed the door behind them. As the Heartless crawled right passed them, everyone is catching their breath.

"So...that's one of those shadows creatures...that you have mention of?" Heaven Leigh asked,

"Yes, it is." Aleu nodded.

"But..." Austin spoke, "Is there anyway to get rid of them?"

"Only white magic could stop them," Aleu answered.

"So, you can stop them. Right?" Talulia asked,

"Not alone, I'm not." Aleu nodded,

"What do you mean?" Daniel asked,

"You see," Aleu begun. "While I was a loner, I've made a friend. That I have grown fond to, she's the one wo taught me how to use white magic against the creatures that lives within the shadows."

"And is it stronger than you are now?" Charlie asked,

"About a few levels higher than I am now, but yes." Aleu nodded, "But there's a problem,"

"What is it?" C.J. asked,

"My friend lives a faraway place from here," Aleu answered. "Lived way farther than the Isle of the Lost itself, that is."

"But...your point is...?" E.J. asked,

"I have to use my magic to make a direct contact towards her, and she will receive the message and come here to campus by the matter of minutes."

"That's great," Austin smiled.

"But...I must be in the other room to make a contact with her," Aleu spoke. "To be alone at least,"

"Because that this friend of your only know your scent?" C.J. asked,

"Yes," Aleu nodded.

Everyone has become silent for a moment,

"Alright," Austin spoke. "But as you finished make that contact, make sure that you get back here as soon as you can."

"Can't make any promises," Aleu shrugged as she nodded. "But I will try,"

"Okay," everyone nodded. Talulia took Aleu's arm and Aleu turned to her.

"Aleu...umm..." Talulia spoke, "please be careful,"

"Don't worry kid, I will." Aleu spoke as Talulia let's go of her. "I'll come back as soon as I can," she whispered as she stood up.

"And we'll be here," Charlie spoke.

"Waiting for you, that is." Daniel added.

"I know," Aleu nodded as she quietly sneaks out of the room and ran through the hall.

As Aleu ran through the hall, she stopped by at the Janitor's closet. As she went inside, everything around her and outside of the closet has remain quiet. Aleu sighed in relief, Alright, Aleu thought to herself. It's time, she closed her eyes and lifted her hands as her mind becomes clear. Suddenly, a circling light glowed underneath her. As the light glows even bright, Aleu's eyes opened as she has too begun to glow within the light.

In the dark room, Austin, Talulia, Roxy, C.J., Heaven Leigh, Charlie, E.J. and Daniel are still hiding. But yet, they are still hearing crawling sounds all around them. "Austin," Talulia trembled. "I'm scared,"

"Don't worry," Austin tries to calm Talulia down. "Everything will be alright, you'll see."

"If that "friend" of Aleu is coming as Aleu said," C.J. spoke. "We'll be sitting ducks,"

"C.J.!" Austin whispered his bark,

"What?" C.J. shrugged, before anyone could speak. The wall has started to shake all at once, it has busted open.

Everyone screamed as Heartless has started to crawl into the room.

"Run," Austin shouted. Suddenly, everyone ran outside.

As everyone is outside, the Heartless are everywhere and there were nowhere else to go. Surrounded, everyone stayed close together. Suddenly, the Heartless has stopped and stared at them. "What are they doing?" Heaven Leigh asked,

"No clue," Austin answered. Suddenly, a flapping sound has been sounded in the air. Everyone looks up, they saw a dark dragon with red glowing eyes and smoke coming out from his nose. His scale is in the color of silver coal, his wings are cloudy mist, on top of his head is a gem that glows like blood.

"So," the black dragon stares at the group as he growls. "This is the school, Auradon Prep. It sickens me, with the scent of humans that are useless of the use of magic. How pitiful,"

Suddenly, the Heartless screeches.

The group jumped, slowly, the black dragon turned to the group

The black dragon growled, "I see," he roared. "You've been touched by magic instead od ignoring it. How interesting,"

"Who...who are you...?" Austin asked,

"I am Pontius," the black dragon answered. "I am the Master of Dark Magic and Controller of the Heartless,"

"Pontius," Talulia trembled as she went behind Austin.

Roxy growled as her tail is frizzed up high,

Pontius sniffed the air, "Ah, the scent of fresh magic. Just what we needed, along with your own hearts."

The Heartless hisses as they begun to jump towards the gang.

Austin and C.J. covered Talulia as Heaven Leigh and E.J. covers Charlie.

A sudden screeched has sounded as the Heartless disappeared.

"What?" Pontius jumped, suddenly a different flapping sound above them. Everyone looks up, they saw another dragon. They studied the dragon, its scales are a mixture of silver and white. Some of its scales are look like a body armor, but in the color of silver and gold. Gens on its chest and waist, blue and green. It's eyes glimmer bright silver within the sunlight. As its wings expanded as it flies above the gang. "Who are you?" Pontius growled,

"I am Aluminus," the dragon spoke. "The Guardian of Magic and pure, innocent hearts."

(This is Aluminus, I did my best to work to look like a dragon but this is what I could think of. Sorry.)

"Oh really," Pontius chuckled. "Never heard of you, why do you have any point of protecting these worthless humans down below you?"

"These humans are known as innocent children," Aluminus growled. "Ones that are great descendants of the ancient ones before them, and still. They are never part of our war,"

"Our war?" Pontius echoed,

"Yes, our war. Mine and your masters' that is,"

Pontius jumped, "What?"

"You heard me," Aluminus growls even more. "Your master and I are the only ones that are going to be fighting within this war to the very end, not theirs'."

"Oh really," Pontius chuckles even more. "Well now they are part of this war now, because of their magic and their hearts are only energy source that our master would ever need to win this battle."

"Well, if so. You have to get pass me to get to them,"

"With pleasure," suddenly, they have begun to battle in the air.

As Pontius and Aluminus aree battling each other, Austin, C.J., Talulia, Roxy, Heaven Leigh, E.J. and Chalrie went hiding behind a tree. "Austin," Talulia mumbled. "What's going on?"

"I do not know," Austin shrugged. "Whatever it is, they are not very happy rivals."

"You said it," C.J. nodded.

Wow. This is the first time that they would ever get to agreement on something else instead of arguing, Talulia thought. Suddenly, a sudden crash has hit the ground. Everyone looked up, seeing that Pontius has been pinned down and Aluminus is standing above.

"I win," Aluminus roared.

"You may have won this round," Pontius growled. "But you haven't seen the last of me," suddenly, Pontius has started to disappear. "We will meet again. Soon," suddenly he and his minions has disappeared without a trace.

As has disappeared without a trace, everyone has started to come out of hiding. Suddenly, Aluminus tail has twitched. Everyone jumped,

"Don't be frighten young ones," Aluminus turned. "I'm not going to hurt you,"

"Are...are you...friends with Aleu," Talulia asked.

"Indeed, I am," Aluminus nodded.

"So, you're the one who was she's been able to call." Heaven Leigh asked,

"Yes, she did." Aluminus purred,

"Then what are you doing here, anyway?" Austin asked,

"To protect the magic and innocent hearts," Aluminus answered. "Well what's left of it, of course."

"Huh?" everyone jumped,

"Why would you...?" Austin asked,

"Look," Aluminus growled. "I don't have time to answer any of your questions, I'm on the hunt against this ancient enemy of mine. And you will soon get your answers in the other time," as Aluminus expanded her wings. Talulia stepped forward,

"Wait," Talulia shouted.

Aluminus looks at Talulia,

"What about Aleu?" Talulia asked, "Is she alight?"

Aluminus remained quiet for a while and her eyes has become soften, "Don't be sad, dear child." Aluminus purred, "Your friend is fine, she's hiding where she's supposed to be told. You'll find her when everything is cleared,"

Talulia lightly smiled, and nodded in return.

"I must go for now, but soon. I will may return," suddenly, Aluminus flapped away and returned to the air. Everyone watches as Aluminus has disappeared within the sky, and everything has remained calm for a while.

In the Janitor's closet, Aleu stays quiet a she's sits for the whole time and uses her magic to sense everything around her. As she finished, she looks up with her eyes become cold. "So," Aleu barely growled. "The battle of the ancient war has now just begun, and what will come next after this?"

As she sits and begun to think for a while, with some thoughts keep on entering her mind for the next day.
