Hybridtale-The Return of the Dragons

Chapter 4: Dragon Down

The mayor was talking to a military officer about an incoming dragon attack on Breckonridge. 

"It's gonna kill everyone like everyone at Pueblo and the AMD will think the plague jumped cities, we gotta stop it," The military officer stated.

"Come in," The mayor stated, hearing his office bell ring. The trio soon stepped in. "Listen, you got military reinforcements right?"

"Yeah, Ulrich sent a batch near the city limits," The military officer answered.

"These guys might be able to help, their achievements are something that both humanoid species can't replicate," Mr. Hancock stated.

"Alright, well let's go guys," The military officer stated.

The trio, along with the military officer arrived at Breckonridge. Apparently, they were too late, a few of the buildings were on fire and the smell of charred corpses were present.

"I know we might be too late, but I think the dragon is encircling back," a soldier stated.

"Well, that dragon is good as dead," The military officer stated, "All of you look for survivors."

The trio, along with the small military squad started to look for survivors. A police officer appeared to cough and call for help.

"You ok officer?" Asriel asked.

"Don't get to complacent Prince Dreemurr, he's doing an encircling movement," The police officer stated. Roaring was soon heard again, the dragon was returning for seconds.

"DRAGON, TWELVE O'CLOCK!" A solider screamed.

"Make every bullet count!" The military officer stated. The trio soon saw the dragon land in an open field. Asriel took cover and waited for a perfect moment, but his Vengeance rebelled against him, causing him to attack. Andy went up to a good vantage point and started to kill the dragon with every thing he had, but it only stung the dragon rather than physical cuts. Develyn used physical force against the dragon, since his major power was taken away from him, he found it quite difficult to defeat the dragon. The dragon decided to lift off the ground again, leaving Develyn unable to fight it. The dragon did an unexpected move next, he picked Develyn up with his talons and made him hit a building seriously in pain. 

This caused Asriel the get a huge surge of Vengeance to see his adopted brother in serious pain. "YOU IDIOT!!!" Asriel screamed as he used his Chaos Sabers, named Dawnfang and Duskfang, to stab them both through the dragon's eyes. This would soon kill the dragon as Asriel dug the blades deeper eventually reaching the dragon's brain. Develyn got up and laid the final blow with his crossbow.

"Dovahkiin? NOOOOOO!" The dragon stated as it gave it's final breath as it's brain stem was severed with joint effort from both Develyn and Asriel respectively. 

"Nice work gentlemen," The military officer stated as the job was done, but there was something else going on. The dragon's flesh started to burn and corrode in hasteful manner. "Everyone, stand back!" 

A large soul would fly out of the dragon and slowly approach Develyn. Develyn would soon touch the soul and would absorb it releasing a shock wave that be heard through out the remains of the town.

"By the Ten! Is he?" A soldier exclaimed.

"Dragonborn! He's back, and I thought they were extinct after Fjaltneir died!" Another soldier exclaimed.

"That would be my father, I'm his heir that he never announced," Develyn stated.

"Can you shout then? Unless you've done it before," A third soldier stated.

"I have, lemme see if it's all coming back to me," Develyn stated. Develyn soon gave a deep breath and would yell,"FUS!" 

"Unbelievable," The latter guard stated. 

"Might've as well get back to the mayor dude," Asriel whispered.

"Yeah, let's wait for the officer's word though," Develyn said.

"Well, Dreemurrs, guess your released to do whatever. If whatever in your case is saving the world," The military officer stated.

"Thanks for letting us do this sir!" Andy stated as the trio left Breckonridge. 

Midway back they heard a loud booming noise like thunder, despite there being no clouds in the sky. The ground would tremble with the boom as, "Dovahkiin," was shouted from a random location.

"What was that?" Asriel asked.

"I don't know," Develyn answered.

The trio soon reported back to Mayor Hancock about their success. He was elated to hear it.

"I'm glad you did the effort despite the multiple lives that were lost, we're sending a search and rescue team to identify the death count and any survivors," Mr. Hancock explained.

"Thanks, do we get anything as a reward?" Develyn asked.

"There isn't much to say, but I am gonna make you three eligible for world wide recognition. The UN will be pleased to hear that you're making progress around here," Mr. Hancock answered.

"Any idea what that loud booming sound was earlier?" Asriel asked.

"The Greybeards, they reside at the top of Mt. Elbert. You should see them at once, they see it as great honor," Mr. Hancock explained, which he soon pointed at Develyn,"Especially for you, I think you did something to make the Divines take away your gift and you got it back. The Greybeards will give you proper mentoring and will eventually restore you to your former fame and glory."

"We should probably get going then, see you around," Develyn stated as the trio headed out as they headed toward Mount Elbert.
