[Um, yeah, so I'm back. I am actually really sorry for the delay in content, but my life is just really busy at the moment, so it's pretty hard to publish chapters on a standard schedule. With that said, I hope y'all enjoy these next chapters! They  certainly are sort of a twist. :D]

    "If she's dead, I get to be the Queen!" Queen Anarchy recognized the annoying voice of Princess Blaze, her younger sister, scoff.

     The Queen was finally coming to her senses from when she passed out after her battle with Burn a few hours before. She shifted slightly in her sleep, feeling the soft gauze wrapped around her injuries.

    "I'm not dead," the Queen suddenly half mumbled-half growled out of one side of her mouth with her eyes still closed.

     Everyone around her froze mid-sentence. After awhile, the Queen actually started to think that everyone had been silently murdered, but when she opened her eyes a crack, she saw everyone was alive and staring at her.

     Her eyes shot open and she abruptly sat up when her eye caught a menacing glimmer in the shadows, a glimmer that Redwood's scales would have made.

    "Your majesty! Be careful you could . . ."

     Queen Anarchy didn't hear the rest; she wasn't listening to Mako. Instead, she focused on what was now a shadowy figure behind Mako, Odyssey, and Flint.

     As she peered closer, the figure slowly stepped out of the shadows, and Anarchy recognized her. The Queen's eyes widened.

    "FLINT! WATCH OUT!" Queen Anarchy screeched, breaking through Mako's... she didn't know what to call it... talk, leaping off her medical bed and pushing the Firescales out of the way just as the so-called odd-looking NightWing attacked.

     Force seemingly tried to slash Anarchy, but she felt no pain? Instead, Force's talon phased through her. All she felt was a chill as if ice was running through her body, and her body tensed up. She could barely hear the cries of the others around her as she stared, shocked, at Force; they felt almost.. muted...

     Then, as suddenly as she had plunged her talon into the Queen, the dark indigo dragon yanked her talon out, holding on to something. I-it...

     Her head moved down to face the ground without her brain telling it to. At first, nothing seemed too out of the ordinary, until she realized what Force had stolen. Her shadow was gone.
