The Cosmic Adventures of Digi-World

Chapter 7-The Li Dragons

Her world was soon to be gone and lost forever.  Lili paused before entering her StarCraft vessel.  Her world as she knew it was over with, and it was difficult for her to accept the fact even in the midst and clutches of the total destruction that surrounded her.  She stood in her warrior stance in shock, in disbelief and with great sadness.  Her native planet was soon to be a thing of the past.

Only 6 days ago, a dark force had ripped deeply into her planet to the very center of its core, and all life was disintegrated.  The small but beautiful planet of Modein, was now a pitted crater with deep cracks and ravines.  

Modein was nothing more than a lifeless, barren, huge sinkhole.  Lili stood there in the midst of the ruins, fine cosmic matter and planet dust.  It was being pulled and drawn into nothingness and devoured at an intense rate by a blackhole, and the initial previous ignited explosion had stripped away every aspect of Modein's lifeline and essence.

Her planet was targeted and ambushed in a deliberate sneak attack, which decimated Modein to a treacherous and tragic ending.   The death sentence hit Lili to the very center of her soul, and ripped through her like it was the center core of Modein itself.  That is how much love that Lili had for her birth planet.

Lili was overpowered with grief thinking about all the others that were lost to her.  She felt the change coming over her, and poof!  Out came her dragon wings and flames of fire came rushing out of her like a fire storm.  With firry sparks of rage and fury and smoke still coming from her dragon nose, she completely transformed into a huge red and gold dragon.

Before it was too late Lili had to do one last thing before boarding her StarCraft.  It would be a close one, but she had to go for it.  The moon-sun, she had to reach the moon-sun and collect as much charmella dust as she could before it was too late.

There moon-sun was so close to being pulled into the blackhole; it was such a risk, but it was worth it, if she could achieve it.  She flew up into the torrential dusty air and flapped and beat her dragon wings as swiftly and mightily as she could.  She raced to the far side of the moon-sun and landed, digging her long sharp talons deep into the soil of the moon-sun to anchor herself.  The force and intensity of the hungry planet eating black hole was making her very unstable, she had to push herself down to ground level.  The sound of the frequency that the black hole was creating was ringing like a death tone in her dragon ears.

She had a large carrier bag from the starship secured around her dragon neck and it hung down in front of her on the moon-sun surface.  Lili then opened her dragon mouth as wide as she could and sunk her extremely sharp dragon teeth and chomped into the moon-sun crust and soil.  She chomped then dumped the soil, chomped then dumped the enormous mouthfuls of moon-sun soil called charmella dust into the carrier bag until it was brimming and topped off and entirely full.

It was now or never.  Lili retracted her talons and began the rough trip back to the StarCraft.  When she finally made it, she was exhausted to the max.  She hurriedly threw a large portion of charmella dust onto the soil of Modein and blew the most intense hot flames she could conjure, to melt the moon-sun dust and planet dust together.  To cool it quickly, Lili then changed tactics and froze it to a solid form with fire frost.  It hardened to a solid glassy gem form, and then she morphed herself back into her two-legged form.

Now it was time to go, or it would be the end of her as well.  There were only 6 of her kind left, five if she didn't get a move on.  She grabbed the moon-sun gem and bag of charmella dust, ran to the star craft vessel door hatch opened it and jumped in.  "Goodbye Modein," Lili spoke her final goodbye, as she lifted off and started gaining speed, her star craft was now moving steadfastly away from the felled planet behind her.  The last scene of Modein that she saw and would always remember is the huge chunks that ripped away and were sucked into and claimed by the black hole.  The entire planet came crumbling apart and the last pieces of Modein were pulled with vacuum force and disappeared until there wasn't a single piece of Modein left except for what was in her star craft.

Lili set the autopilot controls and went to the cabinet where she stored the electronic box, she had discovered upon her return home to Modein.  It had a small metal plate labeling it the Blacky May 1000.  It had come from somewhere, some space pirates or rogue renegades.  This Blacky May 1000 device was the cause of the explosion and generated the blackhole that annihilated her people all but four that were not on Modein when it was targeted.  All other star fliers had landed home on the huge warrior craft just days prior of the major attack to meet their sudden end.

The box was fully intact and now she could decode it and get the exact coordinates as to where it came from.  Before she would delve into that, she would transmit out a message to her 3 other star crew members aboard the F8-Fate StarCraft out in space.  This was her third attempt to try and make contact with them, but no response back yet in return.  

Lili had a very good idea as to what the invaders were after.  And this wasn't the first time they had been under siege for this very same reason, but the last time it happened, Lili was a very young Li Dragon child.  They were after the sacred Li Dragon Garden of Eden Scrolls.  They didn't get what they came for, that's for sure.  Lili had them in her care aboard the star craft, they missed their mark on that, thank the stars!!! 

They just so happened to plan and execute their attack while the keeper of the Dragon Li Scrolls was out on the most important and amazing mission of her life!   Little or should I say nothing do they know of what she had discovered on her trip, and double thank the stars for that!

Lili was doing her best to redirect the F8-fate StarCraft, since there was no Modein left for them to return home to.  They were with neighboring allies in Helix city and enjoying some down time with friends in the galaxy.  They would get the devastating news when they returned to their StarCraft soon enough.  Lili went to the control center and sent a final message which read as an order.  Stay put, I will meet you where you are when I get there...from your StarFlier Comrade Lili. 

So now Lili knew exactly what she had to do.  She would be returning back to the place she had just made it back from.  They were the one(s) she needed to truly have her back in great big universe that she could count on.  It was a place like no other she had ever encountered, and there was no doubt in her heart and mind that a righteous and cosmic army was on the rise.
