"Pfft, this looks smaller than I thought it'll be." Kimmy laughed as she saw the Kraken, the dragon they were up against.

The Dragon Tamers were making their way towards the dragon as fast as they could. It had already caused a ruckus, destroying everything around it, spitting fireballs everywhere. Rocks and stones flew in many directions.

"Small but strong. This is no time to be joking around, Kimmy." Masha said in a serious tone as she leaped boulder to boulder, using her big ass claws to hold onto them.

Kimmy pouted as she continued  to float with the help of her jetpack. "Aw, come on Masha. Cant I make a little joke?"

"No, she's right. We need to focus." Estes butted in.

"Estes?! You too?"

"Save your jokes for later. We have a dragon to tame." Valir interrupted, stopping Kimmy from further arguing.

"More like kill. We cant just 'tame' a dragon like this." Ling said, staring intently at the dragon.

Before Valir could say anything, Ling was the first to charge in. He ignored the calls from his teammates. He leaped on boulders falling from the sky to make his way to the dragon. With a swift step, he landed on its back without a sound. He ran for momentum before leaping up as high as he could, gathering swords above his head. He mustered all his strength to stab the dragon with his swords, but it wasnt easy.

All 4 of the surrounding swords shattered into pieces upon the impact of hitting the dragon. This caught Ling by surprise but he was quick enough to dodge attacks launched by the dragon. He retreated back to his team, who were now staring at the aftermath in fear.

"Ling! Didnt I say to wait?!" Valir shouted, but was ignored by Ling.

"Please tell me what I saw was a joke. Your swords cant just-" Kimmy said before getting cut off.

"No. It did happen. This dragon is unlike the dragons we've tamed. We need to be extra careful." Ling said, clutching onto his sword.

"At least we now know how strong it is, and how we need to be aware." Masha stated.

Kimmy gulped but soon shook the fear out of her head. She soon got a determined smile on her face as she motioned towards Estes.

"Yo, Es! Follow me!" Kimmy waved her hand before flying off, readying her gun. Estes followed suit with his holy scroll, ready to support the marksman.

Valir smacked his forehead, sighing. "Gosh, what do I lead this team for?" He said before joining in the battle, burning any incoming debris flying towards him.

Ling was left  standing there, his heart full of anger.

"Why wasnt I strong enough?!"

"Why couldnt it go through?!"

"Am I that weak?"

He cursed himself for the failure he experienced. A perfect assassin like him absolutely cannot tolerate failure. To him, failure meant weakness.

Deciding to use his anger for a good use, he leaped up with the help of his (butterfly) wings, easily dodging debris flying his way. His ultimate was to end its cooldown. He circled the dragon, analysing its patterns and attack style.

Once done observing everything he needed, he stood on a wall, waiting for the perfect moment to attack. His burst damage could come into good use.

"Yeah, pa!!" Kimmy shouted as she loaded her rocket, aiming it at the dragon's face. Once fully loaded, she discharged it, the icy rocket going at full speed. She watched in amazement as it successfully hit the dragon's face, which distracted it for a while.
