All were ready for the battle even though for some of us we were trembling like a leaf.

In a million years would I would never even have imagined that one day I would see even a living dragon, - let alone having to even fight one?

The dragon snarled at us and raised it's head up then as it brought its head down and forward, fire shot forth from it's mouth and my uncle and I who were directly in front of the dragon had to quickly jump out of the way.

We realized just how much trouble we were in, this was a huge beast and it had a nearly impenetrable skin that looked like rows of shields upon shields and to make matters worse it was shooting forth fire!

Over-watch shot some powerful laser like beams like she had done several times before but this time we saw no visible damage.

The dragon lashed at two of the Watchers using it's tail and they barely got away with their lives because where the tail landed there was now a deep hole - on the face of a rock.

We tried shots after shots at the dragon but it seemed like useless rotten wood hitting a rock.
We realized that all our attacks seemed not to be working at all.

Finally, we saw Over-watch beckon us to stay back - we immediately did so.

Over-watch then moved forward and they continued with the fight with shots after shots just glancing of the dragons large chain mails. Twice it missed hitting Over-watch with the fire that it bellowed forth from it's mouth.

All of a sudden, Over-watch stood still and the dragon noticing that she had stopped fighting, swooped down and in an instance had swallowed Over-watch in one neat gulp - without even chewing her.

We were all stymied and shocked beyond our little minds.

"How could Over-watch allow this to happen?" I asked in utter shock and bewilderement.

We were looking at each other and our faces mirrored each other and showed exactly what we were going through - turmoil at the loss of the greatest of us.

We felt totally defeated!

The dragon sensed our defeat and seemed to have a ridiculous smirk on his face as if it was laughing at us.

As we continued to look at the dragon, its smile turned to a frown right before us and it suddenly held it's stomach.

Suddenly it gave a great roar that shook the earth and fire suddenly shot directly from it's huge stomach and the beast fell down dead. Then Over-watch proceeded to come forth from the big gaping hole that was on it's stomach.

We quickly ran forward with joy and hugged her one person after the other - not even caring that at the moment she was caked in blood, bile, meat and all manner of filthy looking fluids.l

Uncle shouted in the middle of hugging her, "Oh honey, you don't know just how much you scared us!"

"It was something that came to me and I just had to do it to save the rest of you and especially you my dear," Over-watch responded and right before our eyes, they kissed.

At that very moment, everyone woke up from their slumber and looked at our direction, then, Uncle Sam and Over-watch stopped kissing and looked at us shyly.
