So that the top secret dragon military research base had been discovered
by the wyverns
Alessa the Dragoness had to make some
tough calls\
Clearly the speed thruster prototypes could not be allowed
to fall into the talons of
the wyverns
so Alessa hauled out the most advanced and functional looking
of the prototype
armour saddles to the spot where she planned to launch
then rushed back into the ruined base
and she and Skyslining
grabbed
a few light things
such as technical blueprints
and fuel cylinders
took a last
good memorizing look
at the ancient map
which showed a distant dragon military base
on a island
hundreds of miles
from this one
and pushed the
self destruct talon key.
Then as she and her
daughter charged out
the impassive
voice
emanated
from the walls and said
"Sii and Saa code talons verified and accepted.
55 seconds to Armageddon fusion
54 seconds to Armageddon fusion
53 seconds to Armageddon fusion"
So out the dragon and the due to be a dragon
stepped out onto the
launch plateau and Alessa strapped on the
armour suit,Skyslining
hopped
onto her mothers back and Alessa leapt into the air
and spread her
wings.
Nearby she could see the wyvern barbarian invaders
using a Golden Headed Ram
to try to batter down the
sealed gate
of the military base
Further away the wyverns were already hauling
off the hu man villagers
but
there was nothing Alessa could do for
her hu man parents anymore.
She pushed herself higher up into the atmosphere
and her daughter
Skyslining shouted
a warning that a dozen wyverns
were heading in
pursuit.
Far below the mountain rumbled
as the bases Armageddon fusion
went
BOOMM
Alessa swung herself in roughly the direction
of the far distant island
and then just
as the dozen snarling wyverns came in
attack range
Alessa sunk her sii into the
activator of the
armour saddle
and nearly lost her head
as the Roman Fire Candle
ignited
and flung her forward
at a accelerating speed impossible for
a normal dragon or wyvern to
achieve
with muscle power
alone.
Behind her the distant specks of the dozen charred
wyverns
tumbled out of the sky.
"It had to shut down soon" thought a terrified Alessa the Dragoness
as they rocketed off land and over the oceans.
Then she screamed in terror as the
Roman Fire Candle
instead of shutting down
actually thumped her armour saddle hard
as it went
into
afterburner mode
and tripled the terrified
dragoness's acceleration through the
atmosphere.
The prototype chewed up the miles
then the dozens of miles
and Skyslining,atop her
huge mother
was screaming with joy
at the same time the
dragoness
was screaming in terror
afraid her wings would be torn off.
