Hybridtale-The Return of the Dragons

Chapter 2: The Rumor

It was early in the morning when the trio woke up. They had another mission on their hands, to rid dragons of their existence and to restore Develyn's power. The trio went inside Develyn's car and off they went to Denver.

The trio were greeted by the morning sun as they approached the town of Bailey, they were all hungry and Develyn was tired of driving at this point. "Do you guys want anything? Cause I'm starving," Develyn asked.

"Yeah might've as well grab something, I think we're all hungry here," Asriel answered. 

The trio would pull up at a fast food restaurant that served breakfast. Surprisingly, none of the trio like fast food, but it was the only thing that can old them over while they save the world. 

"This stuff might be so good and all, but its a royal pain in the behind," Andy stated.

"It's like a drug, once you try it once, you come back for more," Develyn explained.

"Yeah, but at least we don't have to worry about withdrawal," Asriel noted.

The trio drove 20 more miles to Denver and went to the mayors office. They were stopped by a police officer obviously pushing off AMD propaganda.

"You can't come into city limits unless you don't have the disease on you," The officer stated.

"The AMD is doing it to make you scared, we aren't sick, trust me," Develyn stated.

"Ok, pass on through, but if the entire population dies off, I know who to arrest," The officer noted.

The trio passed through Denver and would soon head to the mayors office. The clerk was astoundingly strict.

"Mr. Hancock isn't seeing any visitors at the moment," The clerk stated.

"We know what really happened in Pueblo, a dragon burned the entire city to ash," Develyn stated.

"That makes sense, cause I barely think a pandemic could destroy buildings and kill up to 715 people with the death count expecting to climb higher. Pass on through," The clerk explained. The trio soon headed to the mayor's office.

Develyn knocked on the door lightly and they were soon granted access. "I'm assuming you have credible information about the situation in Pueblo that happened yesterday," Mr. Hancock, the mayor, stated.

"A dragon burned the entire city to ash, we believe no one survived," Develyn answered.

"That's something I can follow. With these dragons following about I can't believe in the propaganda the AMD has put in front of us. There has been increased talk with the president and Ulrich stating we should go to war with the United States and put an end to their ridiculousness!" Mr. Hancock explained.

"Why do you think there are at least 50 executions each year thanks to these guys being stupid?" Asriel asked.

"To be honest Mr. Dreemurr, I don't know," Mr. Hancock stated.

"Will there be a state of mystery declared around the country, if not the world?" Develyn asked.

"I'll pass this off to the UN, for the meantime I suggest you speak to the head city scientist Daniel, he'll look into this dragon stuff for you," Mr. Hancock stated.

"Where is his room, or lab, since he's a scientist?" Develyn asked.

"Final floor," Mr. Hancock stated, "Thanks for clearing up the confusion."

"Without a problem man, we'll fix this issue with haste," Develyn replied.
