Drago and the hydra had a stare down as they were both glaring at each other ferociously with Drago saying with anger "You will not lay your claws on those kids, do you hear me?!" but the hydra says nothing but only snarled in response, making Drago growled as his eyes pupils slit while saying "Then so be it!" and then they launched at one another with ferocious roars of their own as the fight begins.
Narrator's POV
As the two dragons began fighting, the group quickly rushed into the tomb's entrance and hid behind a wall as Draco gently placed Funneh down while they heard the two dragons fighting each other and this made Draco growl in frustration as he looks out from the tomb's entrance. "Funneh, your hands!" Ally says in worry as they looked at Funneh's burnt hands, making Draco's eyes widened before he rushed over and pulls out some burn gels from the backpack as he gently rubs some on his sister's hands. "I'm so sorry Funneh, this is all my fault. I should've just gone alone and you wouldn't be hurt in the first place" Draco says with a regretful look, but Funneh gave her little brother a soft look and said "No, Draco. This is not your fault. I should've realized my powers wouldn't be able to help me since there is barely any water in the air, since all there is smoke and lava down here".
Ally and Vee looked at each other before looking back at Funneh in concern as the young basilisk asks "What do we do now?" and Draco stayed quiet for a moment before saying after he finished bandaging Funneh's hands "You girls get Funneh out of here. I'll look for the heart myself".
This made Funneh immediately disagree as she says "Draco, no! We were in this together remember?!" and Draco looks at his sister and says "I know... But I want you and the girls to be safe!" and then he grabs a torch from the wall before looking at Vee and Ally and says "Get her out of here! Go, Now!" and with that, Draco runs off as Ally and Vee both helped Funneh up as they said while taking the young woman with them "Come on/Let's go!" but Funneh didn't want too as she struggled a bit while exclaiming "What about Draco?!".
Meanwhile with the Two Grown Ups
Huntsman and Adira had finished making a rope along with a small platform to pull the four young members back up after they retrieved the Heart of the Mother Dragon. "All right, so one of us has to stay here and the other has to go down to find the kids" Huntsman says as he looks down at the hole and then Adira says "I'll go after them and you stay here. When we get back, you'll pull us back up" and then suddenly a chuckle was heard as a pair of purple eyes was in Adira's shadow before a familiar shadow monkey came out, causing Huntsman to jump back in alarm. "If you're going to save those kids, then you're going to need backup, sis" Macaque says with slight grin as his arms were crossed. Adira looked unamused as she asked with a deadpanned expression "You were hiding in my shadow this whole time, weren't you?".
Macaque only shrugs as he says "What can I say? I like making an appearance" and this made Adira sigh before giving a small smile as she says "You really haven't changed" and this caused Macaque to smirk back at his sister.
Meanwhile Back Underground
Draco was walking through a tunnel that was lit up by a few torches as he looked around until he noticed a light up ahead, making Draco walk a little faster to the source of the light and soon he found himself in front of what looked like a summoning room.
"Woah..." Draco says as he starts looking around the room in awe and curiosity. He then noticed something on the ground as it was circle written in different symbols, but what actually caught his attention when he noticed a giant mural on the wall. Draco walked over as he holds the torch up higher to see that the mural is a portrait of a fiery dragon breathing out fire at a stone pillar with golden symbols on it.
"What is this?" Draco muttered to himself before he noticed some writing under the mural as he took a closer look.
"Dragon Breathing..."
This made Draco raise an eyebrow before his eyes widened in realization as he remembered something.
Flashback
"What is that, sis?" Draco asked with curiosity as Funneh had the small brown book that Lena gave her in her hands. "I don't know. But when we got the Wicked Witch's broomstick, Lena the witch goddess appeared before us and gave me this book as she said 'Take this. This will help you and your siblings unlock the next set of your abilities' and then after that, she disappeared" Funneh explained and then the rest of the Krew came over as Rainbow says "Well, what are we waiting for? Open and see what it says" and with that, Funneh opens the book and begins reading "Breathing Styles are swordsmanship styles that make use of an esoteric breathing technique known as Total Concentration Breathing practiced and taught by people, who were the masters of it and are used in combat to which would be later passed on as traditional dances".
The Krew looked amazed as Funneh continued reading "Total Concentration Breathing is a breathing technique which involves expanding one's lungs to intake as much air as possible, accelerating one's blood flow and heartbeat while increasing their inner body temperature, resulting in their bones and muscles becoming more excited. Using Total Concentration Breathing essentially enhances the user's physical traits and capabilities while still remaining human. Such traits include superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, endurance, and the mental abilities needed to keep up with their superhuman bodies, such as a faster thought process and reaction time. Being more proficient in Total Concentration Breathing is key in raising one's survivability while fighting enemies" and after Funneh finished reading, the Krew was left amazed by this information.
Flashback Ends
Draco stayed silent for a moment before he looked around once more as he also noticed that there were some hieroglyphics on the walls, making him go over as Draco studies them while muttering to himself "These hieroglyphics... They're the same, but... What do they mean?" and then Draco thought of something for a moment before he pulled out the book from the backpack and looks over at the pages about the Heart of the Mother Dragon.
"This must be a connection... Right?" Draco didn't know what to say as he kept looking at the hieroglyphics and he was starting to give up when. . .
"Only the way of the dragon will help you, my descendant..."
Draco's eyes widened as he turns around and sees the spirit of Della staring at him. "Della... What are you–" but Draco was cut off by his ancestor speaking as she walked over to him "There isn't much time. I will help you find the Heart of the Mother Dragon with these special words" and then she whispers something into Draco's ear as he listens carefully before Della pulls away and says in a soft tone "Do not forget my young Draco, protect those who you cherish and take care of your lover as well" and with that, Della vanished as Draco stands there for a moment before blushing a little when his ancestor brought up lover. He shakes his head before quickly heading over to the circle and sits down in a meditating stance as he takes a deep breath and breathes out while saying to himself with his eyes closed "Okay. Deep breath. Clear your mind. You can do this Draco... You can do this" and then he began chanting slowly.
"From the darkness of the void... You brought forth light... Admits the relentless chaos... You bestowed order... From the deepest pits of fear... You gave hope..."
The ritual circle on the ground began glowing as it begins rising up with symbols too.
Draco continued chanting as green markings started to appear on his face and neck as he slowly opens his eyes as they were glowing green too.
"And against the Freezing grasp of hate and death.... Your endless love gave warmth and Life..... Again the children of this world call out to summon you..... Arise Mother of all Dragons bestoy us with your heart!"
Suddenly a magic orb began forming in the middle of the ritual circle as Draco stops chanting and the magic orb slowly disappears as now in its place is an egg with a small form of a dragon inside as it was revealed to be the Heart of the Mother Dragon.
Draco and the ritual's magic slowly died down as the young man's eyes turned back to normal before a shocked and amazed expression was seen on his face when Draco saw the Heart of the Mother Dragon itself floating right before him. "I can't believe it... The Heart of the Mother Dragon" Draco breathes out in awe and gently takes the heart that was floating in mid-air into his hands as he stares at the last item. "We did it..." Draco muttered before his eyes widened when he heard Ally and Vee's screams followed by the sound of the hydra's raging roar. This made Draco narrow his eyes as he said to himself "They're in trouble".
Meanwhile Outside the Tomb
"AAAAAHHHH!!!!!" Ally screamed as she, Vee and Funneh have been spotted by the hydra as it swings its tail at them, but they quickly ran off as the hydra hits the pillar the girls were hiding behind as it was now destroyed. The three girls tried to run somewhere else but was stopped by the hydra's tail blocking their path, making Vee scream in terror. Drago, who was recovering from an attack as he managed to stand up and sees the three girls in danger as he exclaimed "WAIT!? GIRLS! NO!!" and then one of the hydra's head rushed towards them, making Funneh and Vee both shut their eyes in an instinct as they waited for the attack but didn't feel anything as they instead heard something blocking the hydra's head, causing them to look and see that Ally was using her powers to create a shield around them.
The hydra's head continued trying to break the force field but with no luck as it saw this before deciding to use its tail again, making Ally's eyes widened before the tail was swung at full power and speed as it hits the force field and this caused girls to go flying and crashed into a nearby wall as this made Ally hit the back of her head and goes unconscious, making the force field disappear.
Vee and Funneh noticed the unconscious Ally as they went over to her as the young basilisk looked like she was ready to cry, "Ally?" but then the two girls noticed the hydra was about to land an attack at them, making the two girls quickly braced themselves while cradling the unconscious Ally close to them. But then they heard someone grunting that sounded like they were struggling, making Funneh and Vee look up as they saw Draco had his sword out while he was the one blocking the attack. "Draco!" Funneh exclaims in relief and Draco simply says as he was struggling to hold back "Go, go!" and then suddenly a shadow portal appeared underneath the three girls, causing them to fall in while Draco manages to push the hydra away before rushing towards it with a battle cry.
The three girls appeared somewhere else as they saw...
"Macaque/Miss Adira?!"
The two warriors looked at them as they noticed the unconscious Ally, making Adira's eyes widened slightly as she went over and asked "What happened?!" and this surprised the group by what sounded like a motherly concern coming from the female warrior, but Vee quickly answered as she said "The Hydra hit us with its tail, making us crash into a wall and she hit her head, making her go unconscious" and Adira looked furious for a moment before quickly opening up Ally's red leather pouch, pulled out the cordial, opens it as she holds the unconscious Ally close to her and lets a drop of the cordial dropped into the young girl's mouth.
It was just a few seconds before Ally began to cough, making the group's eyes widen relief before Adira had a glare on her face as she says "You three get out of here, Huntsman made something to get you out. Macaque, you're with me!" and with that, Adira took off with the shadow monkey following right behind her. Funneh growled in frustration as she got up and said "No way, I'm missing all this action. Vee take care of Ally and get outta here!" Funneh said as she takes off too while Vee shouts to her with her arm out "Funneh, wait!" but the two couldn't do anything as their big sister figure ran off. Vee then had a determined look as she helps Ally out and starts leading her away while saying "Come on, let's go!" but Ally was completely worried for her friends as she says "But what about the others?!".
Meanwhile Back with the Dragons
Draco was in a stance while breathing heavily as he was glaring at the hydra in front of him while feeling tired from the small battle he had not too long ago. The young man gasped when the hydra raised its claw in the air and swung it down, making Draco quickly jump out of the way as he landed on a pillar before jumping off when the hydra destroys it with its tail. Draco takes another stance before he rushed forward with yell but then gasped when the hydra breathes fire at him, making Draco quickly stop and jumps backwards.
He lands down but notices the tail was about to hit him from the side, making Draco freeze until something of someone tackles him to the ground just before he gets hit. "Macaque?! What are you doing here?!!" Draco exclaimed in shock when he noticed that the shadow monkey was the one who tackled him down in time. "Apparently, saving your dragon behind…But, mostly making sure you're alive or your sister will kill me" Macaque says as he helped Draco up. "Gold or Lunar?" Draco asked with an eyebrow raised and this made Macaque sweatdrop as he responded with, "Both".
The two snapped their heads forward when they heard the hydra roaring at them. "All right dragon boy, what do we do?" Macaque says as he summons his staff while Draco summons his sword. "We need to find a way to defeat it but as long as we don't–!" Draco starts to say when someone shouted "Look Out!!". The two were startled when someone pushed them out of the way when the hydra's middle head breathes out fire towards them. Macaque and Draco looked up and saw Adira, who had a determined glare on her face before saying without looking at them "Stand down, I'll handle this!" and with that, Adira zoomed forward with a battle cry as the hydra began breathing fire attacks at the female warrior, who simply dodged before jumping up into the air and managed to slice one of the heads. Adira jumped on a pillar before quickly moving out of the way when a hydra's head tried to bite her as she grunts. "Adira, stop!!" Draco exclaimed, but the female warrior didn't listen as she continued slicing off the hydra's heads, making Draco shout "NO!" and soon Adira finally manages to slice off the hydra's last fifth head before it collapses on the ground with Adira landing down in front of the two boys.
"And that was simple to kill it" Adira says with a calm expression and Macaque grins as he says "Nice one, sis" but apparently Draco didn't share the same expression as he exclaimed in anger "Killed It?! You Only Made It Worse!" and this confused Macaque while Adira's eyes suddenly widened in realization as the shadow monkey asked "What are you talking about?" and Draco says while looking back with his eyes widened "Macaque, when you cut off one hydra head... Two more grow back" and after he said that, the three looked back and saw the hydra was indeed growing its heads back, but this time there were ten of them. "Get back!" Macaque exclaimed as two hydra heads breathed fire towards them as the trio took cover behind some pillars. "What do we do now?!" Adira asked and Draco thought for a moment before looking up at the ceiling, where the stalactites were forming.
"You two distract the hydra, I've got an idea!" Draco says, making the two look at him before nodding as Adira came into the hydra's sight and began shooting arrows at it before running off somewhere while Macaque went behind the hydra and summons his staff, spins it around a bit before blasting shadow like wind at the hydra, making it startled. Seeing that the hydra was now distracted, Draco quickly runs off to get to Drago but unfortunately one of the hydra's head spotted him and alerted the others as they saw this and then knocks Macaque away with its tail, causing the shadow monkey to grunt in pain by the impact. Draco noticed the hydra was tailing him as one of the heads charged towards him, making Draco quickly pull out his sword to protect himself from the attack when. . .
Draco gasped in shock when the hydra head bit his sword blade and it broke, making his eyes widened before quickly dodging the hydra's claw as it managed to scratch Draco's face. The young man quickly hid behind a pillar and stared at his sword's handle in complete shock and disbelief, "No..." but then he was startled when the pillar he was hiding was destroyed by the hydra's tail, making Draco yell in surprise. He tried to run somewhere else to take cover, but tripped over a broken stone causing Draco to yelp in pain as he felt his ankle twisted. Adira rushed over to help Macaque up when they noticed the hydra was heading towards Draco, making the shadow monkey shout "Draco, Look Out!!" and this made the young man look over his shoulder and saw froze when the hydra was right above him about to make a move when someone shouted "HEY!!".
The hydra turned its heads and saw Funneh standing on a broken pillar as she had a glare on her face, making the three look as well as they gasped. "Funneh, No!" Draco shouts as he tries getting up when the hydra lets out a roar before swinging its tail at the pillar, making Funneh gasp before she quickly jumps off and lands on the ground stumbling a little. Funneh was about to move when she gasped and grunted in pain as she felt her hands hurting again before gasping when the hydra hits her in the stomach with its tail, making Funneh choke out air before crashing into a wall causing her to cry out in pain. "FUNNEH!!" Draco, Adira and Macaque yelled in shock and worry as the hydra began making its way towards her as Funneh tried getting up, but she was in complete pain while she was struggling. "NO!!" Draco screamed as Funneh looked up and saw the hydra was now above her as the young woman had tears forming in the corner of her eyes while thinking to herself 'I guess this is what I get for being too reckless... Is this really how I'm going to go out...' and then she slowly closed her eyes waiting for the pain and her fate, making both Macaque and Adira shout in horror "NO!!!" but then....
A green explosion was seen and heard, making the two warriors' eyes widened in shock as the hydra steps back before the green smoke-like fog cleared and standing right in front of Funneh is Draco, who was growling like an actual dragon with his left side showing his dragon features, his left arm; a dragon arm, his left leg; a dragon leg, a dragon horn on his left side and along with a dragon wing too as his aura was green as it felt powerful.
( ↑The scales are green↑ )
"You want to hurt my sister... You're gonna have to get through me first!!" Draco sneered as he held out his right hand and a bright green glow appeared before it formed into something and the glow died down as it revealed to be a brand new mighty dragon sword.
"D-Draco...." Funneh managed to say as she stared at her little brother before Draco zoomed forward with a glare before he began doing total concentration.
"Dragon Breathing... First Form: Dragon's Flame!" Draco jumped into the air and strikes with a very powerful downward strike, making the three completely shocked as Drago, who was unconscious managed to see this as he was amazed and shocked by this. The hydra begins moving away as the two hydra heads breathe fire at Draco, who began forming another attack as he jumps into the air "Dragon Breathing... Second Form: Scales of the Beast!" and while in the air, Draco spins in a circular motion while in mid-air and twists his body to create momentum for a strong slice and zooms down with great speed and managed to slice the hydra's shoulder, making it roar in pain. "Take it down, little bro!" Funneh exclaimed happily as Macaque was helping her up while he and Adira, who standing beside them was staring at the scene before them in complete shock and amazement. Drago noticed Draco was leading the hydra near a cliff, making his eyes widen before grinning as he muttered "You can do it!".
Draco continued attacking the hydra until he noticed the hydra was close to the cliff, he quickly jumped over the hydra and lands down in a stance as the hydra roars at him. Draco takes a deep breath before muttering loudly "Now, Sword of the Mighty Dragon, fly swift and sure. Let evil die and good endure!" and with that, Draco let out a yell and flings the sword straight at the hydra's chest.
It shrieks in agony then is hit deadly and collapses, the hydra plummets down the cliff in a cloud of smoke. "DRACO!!!" Funneh screamed in horror as she thought her brother fell off too and it was silent for a moment before gasping in relief when she saw Draco standing up and gave a thumbs up. The young man then looks down at the cliff and sees the remains of hydra as his new sword glowed before it slowly floats into the air as Draco grabs it and puts the sword on his side. Suddenly he was cut off-guard when someone hugged him from behind and he saw it was Funneh, who was hugging him despite her hands still hurting. "Don't ever scare me like that again!" Funneh said as she glared at her little brother before it soften and hugs him, making Draco smile and hugs his older sister back. "All right, now we better get out of here before we have anymore unexpected surprises" Macaque says and this made both Funneh and Draco smile.
Meanwhile on the Surface
"Well?" Ally asked in worry as Huntsman was looking down at the hole before saying "I don't see them" and then Vee was beside Ally as she asks in worry "Where are they?" and it went silent for a moment before they heard an echoing roar from down the hole, confusing them before they looked down but only to jump back in shock when Drago zoomed out and appeared into the sky as he lets out a roar. "What that–!" Huntsman starts to say when he and the two girls noticed the group was on the dragon's back, making Ally exclaim happily "Guys!" and Funneh grins before shouting back "We're okay! Let's get back to the others!" and this made Vee and Ally smile while Huntsman looked a little unsure.
After heading back to the others, the group was greeted by the others with questions thrown and telling them that they were glad that they were okay. "Did you find the heart?" Tang asked and this made Draco open the backpack and pulls out the heart along with the rest of the Krew getting the items out and once they were together the items began to glow. Aphmau gasped in awe before saying "It's all there!" and then Gold looks at Sandy with a knowing look and says "Uncle Sandy?" and this made Sandy only nod in response.
Timeskip
While Sandy began building the staff outside the van, everyone waited patiently inside as Ao Bing was gently using his ice powers to heal Funneh's hands along with Gold's fire healing abilities. "Are you alright, Funneh? Are you in any pain?" Ao Bing asked gently and Funneh looks at him with a soft smile as she says "Come on, Ao Bing. Stop worrying to much" and then she gave him a kiss on the cheek, making Ao Bing blink before blushing a little with a shy smile. "Kids!" Sandy's voice was heard, making the others perk up as they headed outside before gasping in shock and awe by the now built Elemental Staff of Might in Sandy's hands.
"It's ready" Sandy says as he holds it out and Funneh gently takes it as the staff began glowing like each member of the Krew's aura, making everyone amazed. "We did it! We got the Mighty Five's staff!!" Mk and Mei both cheered along with Vee and Ally as everyone else was amused or laughed along while the Krew stared at the Elemental Staff of Might in awe and wonder with the gem of ice showing their reflection before it suddenly changed into the faces of the Mighty Five themselves.
