He looks at me, and slowly backs away. "Now!"
The next thing I know, something sharp injects into my neck. I pull it out to find a needle, then I get dizzy, and collapse to the ground. The flames disappear almost instantly, as all I see is a blur of Wyvern, get up, and kick me around. The roles have reversed....

I roll in dust and rocks, hitting my head on a piece of the building.
Everything’s fading, and I can’t see straight…..
I sit up, trying to crawl away from Wyvern, but I feel something touch my back, stopping me in my place.
I’m trapped.
I look over to see Wyrm drop from a ledge above. She walks over, and stands next to Wyvern.
“Great work Wyrm.”
“Why thank you, poisons are my specialty.”
Wyvern smirks, and looks back at me. I get myself up to hold my ground the best I can, stumbling as I stand. I try to ignite my hands, but the flames spark, then fade into a green fire. I try again, but the same result. I look back up at them.
Wyrm shakes her head. “Sorry sweetie, but that’s not going to work anymore.” She smirks.
“Wha….what did you do….?!” I demand, as I almost lose my footing, and stumble. I lose the ability to stand, and collapse to my knees.
“Simple Ryuu. A poison called Dratardant, shuts down the flammable chemicals in dragons.” She says, as I grab at my head, with my heart rate declining. “But with modifications, it’s the most deadly weapon to you, Ryuu….first, you’ll lose your ability to see, then causing the fire in your blood to decline, preventing you from firing up some flames, so to speak.” I collapse to all fours, still holding my head, staring at the ground. “The fire in your blood will cause many parts of your body to shut down, making you physically weaker, and the best part?” She says as Wyvern walks over to pick his sword off the ground from the scramble of him being tossed around.
I groan in pain, and try to stand again, but only end up collapsing again. I slowly try to get up again, and hold my head. Wyvern walks back over, with a plasma sai and his sword in hand.
Wyrm pulls out her dagger, rubbing her fingers across the blade. “The poison puts you on a time limit. Within a few minutes, the fire in your blood will come to a halt, causing your burning heart to burn out, leaving just a cold corpse. Great, isn’t it?” She says, as she spins her dagger in her hand.
My breathing begins to fasten, as my lungs start working double time to keep me alive.
I cough out smoke from my nose and mouth, and put my hand from my head, to my heart, feeling my chest pounding.
This is it….
It’s all over....
I hear something fall in front of me, and I look up to see what it is.
My sai…
“Get up.” Wyvern says firmly. “Unlike you, I actually have some honor as a Powerian….”
I grab the blurry sai in front of me, and force myself up again, almost all of my remaining strength just to stand. I hold it downwards, and raise my hand up, activating it.
Wyvern spins his blade, and aims to at me.
I only see a blur move as he moves inwards to strike. I do my best to block the attack, which I just barely do, resulting in my sai being cut in half. He punches me, then spins jump, tornado kicking me. He sends me flying to the side, away from the pile of rubble, and outwards into the middle of the area.
As I slowly get up, Wyvern puts his sword away on his belt, and walks towards me. He swings from the side, hooking me in the face, then punches from the opposite side.
I stumble backwards, but he grabs my collar, and pulls me back towards him, then hitting my face with his forearm.
I fall onto my back, and see him walk towards me. I kick his knee, causing him to stumble, then go to kick again, and miss him, only hitting the gun out of his holster and into the air. I hear it fall behind me, as I scoot away from Wyvern as he stands back up fully.
I get up as he walks towards me, raising my hands up again. Wyvern hooks me from the side, causing me to lean forward. He grabs my head, and slams it on his knee, breaking my nose.
As I stumble backwards again, holding my nose, he kicks my metal leg, causing me to stubble forwards, then to follow that up, he uppercuts me in the air, and immediately follows with a gut punch, sending me a good few yards away.
Wyvern grabs his sword from his belt, and activates it. I look over to my right, and see Wyvern’s blaster from earlier. I grab it, and get up again. I see the blur of Wyvern, and open fire.
Wyvern blocks the shots with ease, starting to sprint towards me. I slowly back away, and keep my line of fire.
Within a few seconds, he’s right in front of me. He cuts the blaster in half, and spins his blade in front of him, then slashes upwards, slicing open my chest. I fly back a few more yards, and lay limp on the ground.
“That was quick. I thought he would put up more of a fight.” Says Wyrm, who stood there watching.
“To say that my brother lost to him, and like many others, surprises me. He is not nearly as skilled as people give him credit for.” He turns off his blade.
“He almost killed you…” She says, holding her dagger to her side.
“But he didn’t.”
She sighs, and walks over to stand next to Wyvern. “We’ve won…”
“Not yet….” He says as he looks up into the sky to see jets fly overhead, and the sounds of explosions echo through the city. Then, something catches the corner of Wyvern’s eye, as he turns to see ice shards flying towards him and Wyrm. He activates his blade, blocking the ice for the most part. Wyrm blocks with her dagger, but gets hit in the arm, impaling her shoulder.
Wyvern looks over in concerned, and gets hit in the ribs. They hold their wounds, as Muriel stands on top of rubble, with Glacier behind her. She sees Seto on the ground, and loses it. She grabs a sword from her waste, and dashes down towards Wyvern and Wyrm. She yells in anger, and jumps into the air, and spins once, swinging her blade at the two, aiming for their necks. Wyvern blocks her strike, and pushes her back. He spins his blade, and they exchange blows.
Wyrm rushes in from behind, to try and stab Muriel, as Wyvern goes to strike at the same time from the front. She turns sideways, freezing her arm to an icicle, blocking Wyrm’s strike, while using her sword to block Wyvern’s at the same time. She jumps into the air, kicking Wyvern a good distance, then engaging Wyrm in a fight.
Wyrm tries to swipe her dagger, and dodge Muriel’s sword, but when Wyrm goes for a blow, Muriel counters almost instantly, cutting Wyrm’s hand off. She yells in pain, as Muriel follows with a tornado kick, slamming her to the ground, knocking her out cold.
Wyvern gets up, with his eyes widening. “YOU SON OF A B1TCH!! YOU WILL REGRET THAT!!” He yells in a blind rage, and ignoring his wound, he breaks into a full sprint at Muriel.
Glacier gets to Ryuu, out cold on the ground, and picks Seto up. He puts him gently on his back, and turns to help Muriel, but hears Drakkon roar echo nearby. He hisses, and sees the dragon approaching the area.
Wyvern slashes down on Muriel, striking at her again and again. Muriel manages to block every time, but struggles as his strikes get faster and heavier. They lock blades, and Muriel looks back to Glacier. “GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!”
Glacier nods, and starts to take off. Muriel pushes Wyvern off of her, but he retaliates with another strike, which she manages to block.
As Glacier is retreating, Drakkon tackles him out of the air from behind, sending Seto into the air. Glacier reaches to catch Ryuu, but falls short. Seto begins to fall, but not for long, as something flies from the side, catching him from mid air.
Comet.
Comet holds Seto against his chest, as he sniffs me, smelling burn marks and lots of blood. He makes a sad concerned sound, and looks up to see Glacier tackle Drakkon, and pin him down. Comet goes to help, but Glacier roars for him to back off, and get Seto to safety. Comet nods slowly, and roars back, as of a way of respect, and good luck to Glacier. Glacier nods back, and Comet flies away. He heats up the plasma in his body, to keep Ryuu alive from the poison.
Drakkon pushes Glacier off of him, and bites down on Glacier’s neck. Glacier struggles to get him off, and does, leaving a nasty wound on Glacier’s neck.
Muriel and Wyvern keep fighting, with Wyvern’s strikes getting stronger by the minute. Muriel struggles to keep herself in the fight, but manages to hold her ground, playing the defensive role. She gets caught off guard though, when she hears Glacier’s cry of help, as she turns to see Drakkon snap his neck.
“NOOOOO!!!!!”
She turns back around to block Wyvern’s under strike, which recoils her blade into the air. Wyvern spins his blade once, then stabs it right through her heart. She gasps, and Wyvern pulls out his blade. She holds her chest, and slowly slumps to the ground. The life in her slowly fades, as she lies limp on the ground, dead…..
Wyvern breathes heavily, turning off his blade and holding his side with his handle. He rushes over to Wyrm on the ground, and checks her pulse. She’s alive.
He sighs in relief, and grabs his radio from his belt.
“This is Wyvern...send a medical ship to our coordinates….. Inform Kren that Ryuu is dead…..along with his aunt. It’s time to end this…..”
“Yes sir, and a ship is on it’s way.”
“Good commander.”
He puts the radio away, and picks up Wyrm. Drakkon hisses, and looks at Wyvern, as he looks up as a ship comes into view, and lands. Medics rush out, and Wyvern carries Wyrm onboard. As the ship takes off, you see more of the chaotic battle. The city is in flames and rubble, as thousands of bullets and plasma shots scatter around the city, with explosions lighting up areas, and jets flying over. Drakkon follows the ship, and roars into the dark sky, as the fighting continues. The end of Dragons of Power, is near...
