"Tell me where the treasure is NOW!" the electric dragon yelled.
"For the last time I'm not working for Darka!" The dark dragoness from earlier responded. "Even if I was I would never tell you pirates!" She added. The electric dragon was tying her up with rope.
"Who are you two?!" I interrupted.
"Names Captain Voltage! Son of Captain Wetbeard and the richest electric & water dragon overseas." Voltage introduced. I looked at him again. What I thought was blue patches were actually blue scales. I was talking to a hybrid!
"Why should I tell you my name?" The black dragoness responded.
"You should. We're the ones saving your sorry tail." Typhoon responded.
"Learn some manners you chicken." She snapped back.
"What was that?!" Typhoon growled.
"Enough talk. Let's plunder their loot." Voltage said eyeing my gems.
"No way!" I responded. That's when I noticed some stairs leading outside. This must be where Darka is waiting. I wanted to command my team to ignore Voltage but I didn't want them to face Darka. This was my destiny.
"No. This is our destiny. Sprocket told me." I said to myself. I tucked my gems under my wing and waited for the fight to start. I needed to make a decision. Fight alone and potentially lose my life or fight with the others and potentially have their lives be lost.
"Hey pal! When are you going to give out commands?" Gust asked.
"What?!" I said.
"You were day dreaming again. One day I want to know what your thinking." Gust responded. "Oh." I said.
"When am I getting a fight?" Voltage groaned. "Right now!" I shouted. I kept eyeing the stairs. I waited for everyone to look the other way and ran. I knew I needed their help but I couldn't risk them being killed. I ran up the stairs and slammed the stair gate.

"Wait! Where did Hagon go?" Firefly asked. Everyone turned around only to realize Firefly was right.
"We have to find him! We can't beat Darka without him!" Crystal panicked.
"Split up and search all floors for him." Gust commanded. Everyone went in different directions but Leaf stayed. Leaf eyed the tied up dragoness. He went over and cut the rope only to be stopped by Voltage.
"You aren't stealing her. She is MY prisoner. Go find your own!" Voltage said. The dragoness bit Voltage's tail.
"Ow!" He roared in pain. She continued to bite him and blood was now coming out. Leaf cut the ropes with his arrow. The dragoness let go and got up.
"Thanks you. But why did you save me?" She asked.
"Because it was the right thing to do and I now fight for justice." Leaf responded.
"Can I get your name now?" Leaf added.
"My name is Umbera...but that's all I remember." Umbera responded.
"All you can remember?" Leaf asked.
"Yes. I died a while ago I think and I woke up in what I felt was darkness." Umbera explained.
"Is it possible a dark dragon could've brought you back?" Leaf asked.
"Maybe. I'm starting to remember. I think a dark dragon was there when I woke up." Umbera responded.
"Darka..." Leaf groaned. Voltage (Yeah remember him?) lunged towards the two dragons.
"I waited TOO long!" Voltage yelled. Umbera spread out her wings. They were feather like and had red streaks. She looked like a dark angel in dragon form. She got out a black bow with a red arrow.
"Another archer." Leaf thought as he got out his bow and arrow.
"I see you also have a bow." Umbera observed. "I see you do to. The question is do you know how to use it?" Leaf asked. Umbera shot a arrow at Voltage.
"I think that's your answer." She responded. "That was a cheap shot. Get ready for the true fight!" Voltage yelled as he got out a blue sword with sparks coming out of it.
"Unlike Excalibur and Nebula, we pirates are good with both our weapons and fire!" Voltage explained slashing at Leaf.
"Ugh!" Leaf cried as a red slash now on his face started to bleed.
"Not cool!" Umbera said firing at Voltage. He blocked the arrow with his sword.
"It's pointless to keep fighting. Our arrows are too weak." Leaf said.
"We need a weapon other than a bow." Umbera sighed.
"Then you might as well surrender." Voltage laughed.
"I...can't...lose." Umbera said in odd pauses. "Humph. I can call my friends to..."
"My pirate crew had set up boulders blocking all entrances while we were fighting or shall I say talking as a distraction." Voltage responded.
"Damn it. The oldest trick in the scrolls." Leaf cursed.
"Put down your bows and we will take you two as prisoners." Voltage ordered.
"Ugh. Fine. You win TODAY." Leaf responded. He and Umbera put down their bows as two pirates threw rope over there necks and tightened it. Rope was also be thrown on the dragon's wings, body and legs.
"What are you doing?" Umbera asked.
"Look, we couldn't beat him even if we tried. We'll take some time and think out our next move while were captured." Leaf whispered.
"But we will..."
"Look, If I had to be trapped with anyone that wasn't my team, it would be you Umbera." Leaf responded.
"Thanks. I hope maybe talking to you can help me remember my past." Umbera responded. The two smiled as their mouths became covered by rope.
"Alright team! Move! We don't have much time!" Voltage commanded. Voltage moved one of the boulders and the other pirates shoved the two dragons down the stairs towards their ship.
"I can't fail now. I can prove I'm finally a better pirate than you Wetbeard!" Voltage sighed.

"Where did Gust and Leaf go?!" Typhoon yelled.
"I don't know. I haven't seen them since we split up." Firefly answered.
"Could they be stuck in the cave with Hagon?" Crystal asked.
"Knowing Leaf he's probably still fighting the pirate dragon." Typhoon responded.
"That leaves Hagon and Gust." Crystal said.
"I might know where both of them went. They probably went to face Darka without us. Ugh I should've known those two would ditch us. Those assholes!" Typhoon growled.
"What! Hagon would never do that?!" Crystal responded.
"Stop assuming Typhoon!" Firefly yelled. All the dragons saw a fleet of boats leaving.
"Dang it. We were too late." Typhoon yelled. Then a loud roar was herd at the top of the mountain. "Darka..." All dragons thought.
"We should probably take down the fleet of ships while we are here." Crystal suggested.
"Then what are we waiting for." Typhoon said. All the dragons flew towards the ships in the distance.
