"This is insane, like more than insane!" Finn clutched tightly onto his forehead as he paced around the room.
"Honestly, though. Why's she kidnapping people?" Santana wondered.
Puck sat down on the ground, leaning up against the wall. Slowly, but surely, everyone else joined him.
"Queen Lennox is only using us so she can find someone. I still don't know why she had to go this far though, and why she couldn't of just left her Kingdom on her own terms and found whomever she wanted," Puck sighed. 
"Whis is she looking for?" Quinn asked. 
Puck was hesitant to respond, but in the end, he thought he was ought to, considering his friends were now involved in what was going on. 
"Her ex partner. He was sentenced to jail long ago, and was finally released, but no one's seen him since, or even heard from him."
Santana scoffed. "And that's our problem? She should know she shouldn't drag people into her love quarrel," she said. 
Puck looked to Santana with a heavy heart. Every part of him wanted to tell her all about Queen Lennox and the mysterious man, being her biological parents, but it wasn't his place, and now certainly wasn't the time. 
Puck was then distracted when he saw Quinn giving him a very firm look. He shivered and quickly diverted his attention elsewhere. 
"I'm telling you, we have to leave," Finn declared.
"I know, but we can't. Queen Lennox has this place surrounded by her men, people who have magical abilities, too. It would be damn near impossible to fight them all off without someone- or several people dying," Puck said. 
The group was soon caught off guard when they heard an uproar coming from around the building. A stampede of armed men ran past their room, and as they ran further down the hallway, they used an enchantment on their weapons, casting a green light of fire around them. 
"What's going on?" Everyone jumped to their feet. 
"I don't know! But something tells me it isn't good-" Quinn's sentence was cut short when the building began to rumble, causing the group to lose their balance. They all grabbed onto the wall for support and nervously awaited for some sort of answer as to what was going on. 
A crowd of people could be heard screaming at the top of their lungs, sounding as if they were being tortured. 
"Take cover!!" Someone shouted. 
Another loud boom echoed throughout the building, and rattled the walls. 
Quinn, Santana, Finn, and Puck all threw themselves on top of each other, covering their heads as pieces of the ceiling began to fall apart. 
"We're going to die!!" Another man shouted.
Suddenly, the door clicked open, the group nervously looked over, and saw that a piece of the ceiling had broken off the door handle. They all took small steps to the door and peered into the hallway. 
A dark shade of fire burned throughout the hallway, the floor began to split apart, and everyone who was shackled to the floor in the other room screamed at the top of their lungs, begging for Queen Lennox to release them so they weren't murdered. 
"We need to do something," Finn said. 
Santana extended her arms and a fire forcefield surrounded her friends, they all pressed up against Santana, hoping their clothes didn't catch fire. 
The group moved down the hallway, cautiously stepping around the cracks in the ground. 
Santana led them into the room where everyone else was and removed the fire shield. Standing in the centre of the room was a man, eyeing Queen Lennox, who remained quiet. Behind the strange man, a giant dragons head was peering into the room as the ceiling had been broken. A few people getting crushed in the doing so. 
"Alas, we meet again, David. Where have you been hiding?" Queen Lennox sneered. 
"What on earth are you doing? You're destroying the world our daughter is supposed to live in!" David whispered to Queen Lennox. 
The queen glanced over to where the group of teenagers stood. David looked over to and almost fell onto his knees when he recognised his daughter, much more grown up than the last time he'd seen her. 
He angrily furrowed his brows and pushed Queen Lennox backwards. Grace Shelby and Grace Terri stepped in front of their queen, blocking David from getting any closer. 
"You didn't even love her! You didn't bat an eye toward her the day she was born," Queen Lennox snapped. 
Puck grabbed ahold of all his friends. 
"I have a feeling we shouldn't be here for this interaction. C'mon." He led them all around the corner and into a seperate room.
David gritted his teeth together. "I didn't love her because she came from you! I knew she'd be dangerous."
Queen Lennox took a deep breath, and gestured for David to follow her. He reluctantly did so. His dragon tried to follow as well, but David quickly turned around and pushed him back.
The duo walked outside of the building. Outside there was fire everywhere, and houses of all different shapes and sizes in the underworld. It was a dark, and grim place to be. 
"Why did you do it?" Queen Lennox asked. 
David confusedly looked to her. "Do what?" He asked. 
"Make it so i seemed like the bad guy," she said. 
He scoffed. "Well i certainly wasn't wrong, look what you've done!"
Queen Lennox gave him a scowl. "You're no better, you know? In the past you've done much worse. But that's not what i meant. Why did you put all of the blame onto me when i was still innocent?"
David kicked at the ground and loudly groaned. "Because i didn't want to take the blame. It's easier to put it on someone else than to confess," he said. 
Queen Lennox remained silent, but the silence was loud. David lowered his head; he knew he'd messed up, but he certainly wasn't going to admit it. 
"I am who i am today, because of you," she calmly spoke. "I may be an awful person now, but i wasn't back then. I made all the hard decisions. I rehomed our daughter so she wouldn't have to grow up with either of us, so she could actually live a good life. I would have never gotten rid of her had you just taken the blame for yourself, and not brought me into your drama!" She shouted. 
"Oh please, you're pathetic, woman! You were a terrible person back in the day!" David's face turned red. 
Queen Lennox raised her hand in a silencing manner. "Don't raise your tone with me," she said. "Was my destruction what brought you here, or was it something else?"
David clicked his mouth. "Of course it was your destruction! You're destroying the world!-" David took a deep breath. 
The queen rolled her eyes as if the obvious wasn't obvious. 
"You're a useless man," Queen Lennox blunty said.
This infuriated David. He was about to argue further but she once again, raised her hand to stop him.
"How can you not understand why i'm doing this? I already told you, of course, so how is it not processing in your head?" 
David was confused, and tried to speak again, but his ex cut him off.
"You made me a bad guy, so i'm playing the role of the bad guy," she said.
All of her words angered David even further. How could she be blaming him for everything? She wasn't exactly a princess to begin with! The blood boiled inside of his body, and without thinking, slapped Queen Lennox across the face. She smirked, which angered the man more. 
Though he may have loved his ex in the past, over the years he'd grown to resent her- even if it should have been the other way around. 
David's hands turned into a blaze of fire, and he tried hitting Queen Lennox across the face with them, but she blocked him, and pushed him away. 
Her hands then turned into a blaze of fire, only hers were blue. 
She clutched tightly onto her staff and held it in front of her, ready to defend herself.

Back in the building, Quinn, Santana, Puck, and Finn had found themselves back in the room where everyone was shackled. They tried everything they could to get the shackles off the captured, but even their magic did nothing. The dragon didn't make any of the pressure any better. It breathed heavily and growled lowly as it watched them. At any second they were certain it would breath fire and scorch them all. 
"This is pathetic!" Finn marched over to the men who were standing guard, keeping the dragon at bay. "Release everyone at once or they're all going to die!"
The guards all shot the kids a look before focusing their attention back onto the dragon.
"We only take orders from the queen!" One said between gritted teeth. 
Quinn shook her head. "You don't do anything that dragon will kill your queen, too!"
All the men were furious- not entirely with the children, but because they were under a lot of pressure at the moment. 
"Keep the dragon back!" One of the men ordered. He left his position and threw a key over to the teens. 
Puck picked it up and immediately let the nearest person free. 
The dragon was growing bored, and agitated. He began forcing his head into the room, while trying to squeeze his body in. All the guards and captured began screaming at it go away. 
All the guards formed a shield, blocking the dragon from coming any further, but the shield wasn't strong enough, and the dragons nose tore it down with a slight touch.
"We need to hurry and free as many people as possible!" Santana shouted. 
Puck paced back and forth, getting to everyone as quickly as possible. As soon as the people were released they began running down the hall, searching for an exit. 
"S-stop running like sheep! You're only going to get hurt faster-" As Santana was yelling, one of the people fell through one of the cracks in the ground. They screamed for their life, begging for help, but they were already too far gone for anyone to be able to help them. 
"Crap...." Santana mumbled. 
With all the people running around, the dragon became more ancy and began pushing itself even further into the building. All the guards shot blazes of fire at the dragon, but it did nothing. 
His feet crushed everything beneath him. A few people who ended up falling over were crushed by the dragon, too. 
Suddenly, a loud whistle could be heard from the distance. The dragon's eyes turned a light green, and he began pushing himself further into the room. The ceiling broke as it's back ran along it, and everyone who was in the room was forced to scatter off to the side. 
The guards continued to shoot fire blazes at the dragon, but it didn't even flinch, it was almost as if the dragon was under someone else's control.
"Move, move, move!" Finn shouted.
He and his friends ran to the wall, pressing themselves up against it. Puck then pointed to the remainder of people shackled to the ground; the dragon neared them.
"They're going to get killed!" He panicked. 
"And so will we if we do anything!" Quinn said. 
The dragon's tail whipped back and forth, hitting everything and everyone around it. The dragon stopped at the wall, as it thought about how it was to get through it, but after a few seconds he rammed himself through the wall, and on the other side of the wall, was Queen Lennox struggling to fight off David, who had a small whistle in his hand.
