The Gizmo- The Heroes Quest

Chapter 15- The Dragons Appear

Shu and I immediately climb up as fast as we can. But, at this pace we would never catch up to them!

Shu suddenly stops and looks at me as he says, "I guess it's impossible to catch up to them after all."

"Yes! I know that! So don't stop like that!", I shout at him.

He smugs. Shu always does that expression when he has really very weird ideas. Then, he says, "I have an amazing idea on how to speed this up."

He shows his right hand, the one that was equipped with the metal glove. The glove glows again, as he suddenly grabs me and chucks me up.

Astonished, I look down at him as he shouts, "Save them!"

I grab the ladder, as gravity pulls me back after a certain height. I look up to find the bridge once more. What was with that arm thrust! He threw me all the way up!

I climb back onto the bridge. The black knights were on the other side. Sarah, Amber and Anderson were against six high levelled grievers. Carl was carrying Matthew who's health reached critical. Right now, they were in the worst situation possible.

I use my sniper rifle, and aim across the bridge and take two of them down. Amber, Sarah and Anderson charge for two Grievers.

But before I could aim for another one, a griever pounces on Matthew and Carl. Carl defends Matthew, by throwing his gun at the griever. The griever fangs the gun and destroys it. Now, it gets ready to pounce on them again.

Suddenly, I hear a whistle. The griever turns back, and then, before I knew it, its head was sliced in half. Then, in the blink of an eye, a women with red robes and green hair appears in front of Matthew, with her sword pointed in the air, where once the griever stood.

Then, I hear the sound of a minigun, as the final girever falls down on the ground, dead. Immediately, I rush to the other side of the bridge, where they all stood.

Two red cloaked men appear from behind the bushes and walk towards the women. The first man, was huge, had black hair with a military cut, and was well built. He carried a minigun and had a really very creepy smile on his face.

The second man was short and skinny, with brown messy hair and floracent blue eyes, and carried a dagger by his waist. A monkey like creature hangs onto his shoulder.

Yup, it is the red dragons. And the girl who just saved Matthew , must be their leader, Ashley.

Ashley glares at the huge man as she shouts, "Jovi! You could have left the last one for me as well!"

Jovi replies as he laughs, "Well, it's also unfair for you steal all the kills, miss!"

The skinny guy shrugs as he says, "Well I'm with Jovi on this. Being the leader, doesn't mean you can have all the fun."

"Lucas, not you too!", Ashley cries.

Matthew, still lying on the ground, bursts out in laughter.

Ashley glares at Matthew as she asks, "Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing. It's just that I never knew a queen would have a childish side like this too!", Matthew grins as he says.

"I'm not childish! And I'm not a queen either!", Ashley says flustered.

"Well with that commanding voice, you totally look like one, ma'am.", Matthew replies.

"Matthew!", Ashley shouts as she hmphs.

"Wow! Queen Ashley remembers my name! I feel royal now!", Matthew laughs.
