Chapter Nine: We Get Attacked By A Giant Flying Lizard

''' Chapter 9 '''

''' We Get Attacked By A Giant Flying Lizard '''

We sailed away from Vegas as fast as we could. I know had to deal with all the girls giggling near me and whispering, so I spent most of my time with the guys. We all talked about what was so great about our quest so far, and shared quite a few laughs. But I still thought about, finding Troy, this was very serious. We had to find them soon, or they might attack Olympus.

I trained on the deck with our sparing automaton. It taught me many moves that I could use with my sword. I also was able to learn how to battle against different weapons. Next time I fought Christian, I would be ready.

A day had passed since the Lotus Casino incident. I was on the top deck training with the automaton. Lenny came up to the deck and we spared for a while. I learned that his lance was magical. It would magically move and stab chinks in the armor. A very useful weapon. We were having a good time when the boat lurched. I didn’t like the feeling of that. The whole crew ran onto the top deck.

“What was that?” Asked Zack.

His question was answered in classical style. The thing that rammed into the boat appeared in-front of us. It was a huge, blackish, flying lizard. Its claws were razor sharp, and its red eyes struck fear into everyone.

“It’s the Red-Eyed Darkness Dragon!” Yelled Ben Irino, so of Delphin.

<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 20pt">“It’s the Draco Aionius,” Chiron told us.

<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 20pt">At the sound of its name, it breathed a huge ball of fire at us. Zack saved us just in time, as he made a wave of water deflect the ball. I looked at Lenny, he nodded.

<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 20pt">“Let’s Roll!” I yelled to him.

<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 20pt">We charged the monster. I cut its neck while Lenny’s lance found a giant chink in its chest. As it turns out, that chink led to its heart. The Draco Aionius roared in pain. As it fell towards the ground, one of its wings hit the boat, knocking Lenny and I off the boat, the last thing I heard was a girl calling me, as I fell to the ground.
