???'s pov
I look over the terrain with curious and wild electric blue eyes, my crazy blond hair floating in front of them a bit." You had me at posionous gases." I told my mother, see, she predicted this insane fissure would open up, but nobody expected it to be deeper then the Maraina! The helicopter slowly makes it's way through the fissure and onto the landing pad. I step out, taking in the energy of a new adventure. A strangling thread of reality drags me down, literally! All i see is a hat. But looking down i see a slightly familiar face as she fawns over my more grown appearance. Then scolds me for the thing she last saw me do which was jump into a polar bear tank. I chuckle replying," don't worry i learned something from that." A bit of time passes and i'm on the tour with my "class" when i stay behind in the elevator, hitting the button for the drone bay. The elevator closes as i smirk and i wait for it to reopen. And when it does, i step out, admiring the fleet and following one out to the platform. I watch it fly down in amazement. Who knows what secrets lay in the caverns below? I couldn't wait to get down there and check it- what was that feeling? Everything rumbled. Earthquake. I quickly grip the railing, but a piece of the platform starts to crack and bow as the woman there cries out in fear and grips the railing. She wasn't gonna make it. I spot a rope inside and i run over, grab it and i throw one end over. I feel a tight tug and i lean back, better handling the weight. As i struggle to hold her up. Sparks of brilliant blue lightning sparkle across the clouds drifting through the fissure.
Right before my legs give way, the security head grabs onto the rope and pulls with me, pulling her all the way to safety as the whole area under her dissapears into the fissure.
I sigh in relief," thanks sir" his gaze at me is unreadable." You weren't supposed to be here, but if you hadn't have been, it would've been a tragic day. Thank you." I smile," thanks for not punishing me, all i wanted was to watch the drone fleet." "Oh i'm still telling your mom, but i'm giving you a slap on the wrist." I nod and i run back for the elevator. Some time passes and mom punishes me by telling me to stay away from the fissure. She said i had to stay away. But what about my drone? I smirk and i start test flying it. Smirking i fly it out to the fissure and i slowly head downwards, leaning slightly on the dome roof as i drive the drone around.
I spot that lightning again, trapped under rocks. It then hits the drone and it drops like a rock." Dangit!" I look around. There's nobody and it's night. I run over to the fissure and i pull out my climbing pick. I always carried it on me. I stab it into the rock and i begin my descent quickly, arriving on the rock shelf that my drone lay on. I fold it up and put it in my bag, before i look to the pile of rocks, a tri sided tail pinned by rocks. I grab the rock and i push it off, a roar-like screech follows as the tail tucks into the rock faster then a cobra's strike. After a momentary double take i go to move closer to the pile of rock when i see the lightning build up. Oh no. I tuck in and drop, only for it to explode and the rocks sail over me, a few pebbles cutting my sleeves.
I stand to find whatever was there, just straight up gone. I groan in annoyance. Well at least it's free now. I pull out my pick and i begin the long climb upwards, only for something to grab my back and i rightfully scream as i'm easily pulled off the wall and and flown into a cave.
They drop me slightly and i go stumbling." Whoa-a! Ok, finally, got my balance, what is it- oh" in front of me, a frozen iceberg, and inside, was a furred white dragon, with almost crystaline blue tipped wings, and thier paws gripping a girl, with black dragon wings folded behind them. The outfit she was wearing, she has been in the ice awhile. Leather and fur covered her outfit, but was she even alive? I reach out and i touch the ice, only to hear the faintest heartbeats. They're both still... i look back, at the black and white dragon behind me." I... i need to get my mom down here. She might know how to help them. Can you give me a lift?" The dragon nods and i climb onto his back. He takes off quickly, his wings wide and his tail fully opened as we soar up above the rim of the fissure and he builds up energy, before roaring and an EMP knocks out all the lights and cameras. Well that explains the blackouts.
He lands and i hop off," thanks big guy. I'll be right back, so stay there please."  I run inside the dome, opening and shutting the door before yelling," Mom! Mom, i need your help." "What, what is it?" "Mom, there's something i found exploring around that you need to see. But we have an interesting method to get there. And we'll need something to crack ice." " crack ice? What did you find?" She asks in shock and suprise." You'll see." I grab a more sturdy icepick and i head for the door." Come on! Lives are on the line." She gasps as i race out and she quickly races behind me and where i left the dragon. He pokes his head out and coos." I'm here, and i got help to help the frozen people." He lets me jump onto his back, and lets out a growling chirrup almost in response and i look to see my mom standing there, shocked as her jaw is dropped." W-what is that?" "It's a lightning dragon mom, but theres no time, somebody really needs help." Mom looks into my eyes, before nods." I am going to tell them about this." " please don't, just... trust me and you'll see why." She grabs onto my outstretched hand and i help her up." Hold on! You know where to go dragon." The dragon takes off and mom screams but quickly grabs my waist and i grip tightly to his rough scales as we descend rapidly and back into the dark cave. In less then a minute we've landed and i hop off naturally. Running over to the iceberg i touch it, listening. Thier hearts are still beating. Good. I grip the icepick tighter and i manage to swing it hard enough to hit the ice with some force. The pick head hits the ground as my mom races over.
"Here, let me help." I nod and i back off as she lifts it with ease. After a hefty swing and a grunt, frozen diamonds scatter from the ice and cracks begin forming. Second swing, the cracks deepen and i start hearing the girls heartbeat quicken, or is it the dragons? So hard to tell. The third swing was the last it needed as it shatters, dropping both girl and dragon to the ground. I bolt and i grab the girl, freezing cold piercing my thin jacket as the dragon checks on the sleeping one.
I feel for a pulse and she gasps as it flutters into being," she's alive, but freezing cold." Mom nods, still seeming frozen in another way." W-we can't tell anyone... can we?" I shake my head," but first we should get her warm." Mom nods," right, but how? If we take her back to the dome, her dragon can't follow, as it's still asleep and i doubt the dragon who brought us here can carry us all."
"We go in pairs, you go first with the girl and the icepick. I'll go last. Maybe i'll even look for another way out." She nods," ok, also, what should we call him?" I shrug," maybe Thunder?" 'Thunder' perks up at the sound of the name and i chuckle," oh you like that huh?" Thunder then leaps onto me and licks my face as i laugh," well i'm glad you do, can you carry my mom and the girl to the surface?" He goes over to my mom and i pass the dragon girl onto my mom. She shudders slightly at the change in grip as mom pulls her into a firemans carry." Stay here, hopefully Thunder comes back for you both." I nod.
They fly out and i look around, as the dragon stirs and opens it's brilliant ruby eye. I gasp as it locks onto my light blue orbs. It looks me over before standing and looking around, and jumping, glancing around faster," if your looking for your friend, i already sent her ahead with my mom, she was freezing." The dragon then grabs me by my shirt and runs out of the cave, following the trail we used, but not spreading it's wings. Why? Until suddenly we're over the fissure, the crystaline wings spreading open. They're massive compared to Thunder. Every flap makes the air vibrate. We land within minutes and they set me down. They're barely small enough to fit in the dome door as i do what i can to help them in, where mom was sitting by the strange girl and thunder lands on the roof." What the?" "It woke up and seemed scared without thier friend. It's massive!" " just how big?" " thier tail is still outside, but thier wings are nearly double thunder's length." She sighs," what have we gotten ourselves into?" "Saving lives?" Mom laughs weakly, both of us drained from today i tell mom," go get some sleep, i'll help this big... girl? I can't tell." "That would definitely be a girl. But goodnight boyo." She walks into her room, and i help the massive girl lay in the dome comfortably and hidden from view as i sit down under the couch and pass out.

Whew...... that was so much fun to write, and things are only gonna heat up, Tom's mom immeadiatly knows because... it didn't feel right leaving her out. With Winter and Thunder hanging around, i might even give her a dragon. Any suggestions? For now, Stay Balanced-SIRABOOKS
