Lunar

Chapter 5

"Get them!" Haru screamed as he soared through the air. He was filled with rage and fury, wanting to kill every dragon in Ecilar, even his own son. And his son was exactly the dragon he really wanted to kill. His own son, who wanted to lead an army against his own father. What a mouse-brained fellow!

He pointed his claw at the fleeing dragons, and yowled, "attack!" He heard the sounds of whiskers flapping in the wind beside him. Lord Kaito was flying right next to him.

"Your son was such a nuisance, Haru," Kaito mused.

"I know! We need to kill him. And his supporters too."

Kaito just shrugged and blasted off, his golden tail flapping in the wind, streaming away with a swarm of colorful dragons.

Haru narrowed his eyes and he located a dragon with pink scales, pink-lavender. A Lunar Dragon... Yes. It was because Tatsuo was a Lunar Dragon, and Haru was a pink dragon. That dragon was Ryoto.

He swerved down, reaching his talons towards his son. He was so close, so close to his tail...

A blast of water threw him off course. He screamed as the water dug into his scales, pushing him backwards, making him fly through the air. He slammed into a tree, stars appearing before his eyes.

"Haru! Get up here!" Kaito yelled, fighting with a black dragon with amber eyes.

The black dragon roared and blew fire into Kaito's direction, and Kaito swerved aside, lunging for the dragon's throat. "Kill him!" Haru screamed, but the dragon twirled around gracefully and met Kaito's attack with a well-aimed swipe, sending Kaito reeling away, clutching his face.

Haru felt dizzy, but he knew he had to kill his son. But not now. He was not in the condition to fight his son's army. As he looked around, he saw his soldiers being pinned down to the ground, fleeing. They were losing.

"Retreat!" Haru yelled, but the sudden burst of air caused him to get a headache.

His soldiers immediately flew up, blood trailing from their wounds, flying away. Haru looked around, but he realized something drastic.

"Where is Shenron?"

He looked around nervously, but he saw a flying dark-green dragon. He flew up to the dragon, but it wasn't Shenron. He nearly dropped in disappointment. It was Shenlong.

"Shenlong! Have you seen your brother?"

Shenlong twirled around in shock, but relaxed when he saw that it was Haru. But he looked so serious. "The last time I saw him was when you sent him to go fetch your son. And now he's gone. General Viserion told me that he saw a white dragon taking him away. He's being held hostage, Haru."

Haru gasped. He should've known! Shenron was going to kill him if Haru didn't free him! Shenron and Shenlong were his best friends; but he was in no condition to fight Ryoto. He sighed and looked into his friend's eyes. "Shenron, I'm so sorry. I should've known that they would take hostages! But I promise you, we will free him, and we will murder that ruthless dragonet of mine."

Shenron only stared ahead.

Haru sighed and he left his friend alone. He immediately started searching for General Viserion. General Viserion was a pale-blue dragon and he was all covered in bloody scratches. He was clearly seriously injured.

"Ah, Lord Haru. What are you going to do?" General Viserion murmured in a raspy voice. He was an old dragon, the wrinkles on his scaly forehead creasing.

Haru flew next to Viserion, thinking. When he was done, he opened his mouth and spoke. "Viserion, I need you to tell me what happened to Shenron. Shenlong said that you saw Shenron getting kidnapped."
