*flies as a hawk* (yays, i is back!)

(yay jade! we're starting to fly now, f.y.i. )

*looks back and then flies into the air* (hey jade!*waves furiously*)

*the sprites fly after us* ok, um.. i have an idea, but do exactly what i say, ok guys?

(waves back the same) alright. *nods her head*

okays!

*takes deep breath* ok, follow me exactly, and when i say "split", jade, you go to the left and catc, you go to the right. *i sharply turn around and head straight for the sprites*

*growls* and leave you alone?

okay *prepares to steer right*

no... just trust me, jade... *the sprites hover in midair, watching us warily* ok... one... two... SPLIT!

*steers shrply right and looks back to see jade doing the same, but to the left.....*

okay, okay..*Darts to the left*

*i charge straight for the sprites, but at the last second, i veer up and over them, turning back to laugh at their stunned faces* ok jade and catc... um, that was about it.. ><

ummmm......okay i get it it so that we could get them confudled and them get them seperated.....wait! they're fire sprites right? isn't the enemy of fire ice?

so is water..^^ and oh..okay Dspice.

heh heh no worries jade. ok, new plan: head back, do the exact same thing, but this time, each of us battle one sprite. got it? *chuckles at the thought of battle*

*stops and braces and takes a deep breath*

*changes to dragon form* ready! *grins*

*the sprites turn around, a little dazed* ok, lets go! *i zoom off towards the sprites, their eyes widening* *they each pull out some form of dagger or blade and hold it eye-level*

okay! nana u can't catch me wittle spritie!

*follows Dspice* don't be so sure Catc..

SPLIT UP! *i charge for the one sprite in the middle*

*follows after dspice, too* i know but it is fun though! *charges for the one on the right and flick him with ,my tial to get him to try and follow me and i go a few yards and stop and breathe deeply and blows out an icy mist that goes straight for the sprite*

*goes for the one on the left and tackles it, avoiding the blade*

*i grab the one in the middle and carry it down with me* (i could have said "i tackled it" but what fun is that? )

( ) *the ice heads closer to the sprite, but he dodges, but a little bit of the mist hits his leg and he winces as his leg freezes*

(xD) *blows a blue water droplet on the fire sprite and it hisses* *steam rises off, but barely*

*the sprites stab and attack wildly, not thinking about what they're doing* *i throw the sprite at the ground and hover, watching him fall* *thinks*

hehe! i have found thy weakness! *breathes the mist again and he hisses as it hits him again*

*breathes out a freezing wind and the sprite stiffens*

*i sigh loudly* oh man... *i dive after the falling sprite and catch him with my tail* *i set him gently on the ground* *his eyes tear up as he looks at me* *the other two sprites turn to look, ignoring the attacking dragons*

(oh shoot i have to go to bed now.... so goodnight! *hope rushes into the bedroom to get the best sopt, which is in the middle of the bed* ) *slashes towars the sprite before leaving*

(bye catc! *glomps her and hope*) *the sprite's lower lip quivers and he speaks in a tiny voice* y-you saved me... and i almost d-died... but you saved me! *the sprite runs up to me and... hugs me.* >< ????

(aww, goodnight! *glomps*) *stops and looks over too* whoa...

*the sprite fighting jade flies down to me and hugs me too* >< WHAT IS GOING ON?! we were fighting you cuz you tried to kill us, and now you're... hugging me?! SOMEONE EXPLAIN WTF IS GOING ON!

*lands with a huge grin* apparently you are now their hero. XD

-__- *i make the mistake of growling, which causes the sprites to giggle* ugh... ok so... um... sprite: we were simply testing you to see if you would be worthy enough to battle The Evil One. you and the other dragon have passed! congrats! *the sprite grins*

WHA....... *stares* oh jolly joy isn't that just absolutely fantastic..

*i push the sprites off me* ok, ok... we'll fight this "evil one" for you.. just... don't hug me. xP sprite: okay! *grins widely and flies off* *the other 2 follow* please, follow us!

*shrugs and follows behind* depends how evil this Evil One is..

psssh, no big deal. it'll be a peice of cake! *the sprites murmer amongst themselves* *i sigh* well, i mean, he can't be that hard, can he?

maybe! *grins* next thing you'll know the sprites will ask you to stay with them..XD

*i growl, but stop myself* dont give them any ideas! *the sprites look back occasionally to check on us* *after a couple of minutes of flying, we come upon a small bush* *the sprites crawl in* oh man, you don't expecy a couple of dragons to be able to fit in THAT! sprite: trust me! *i roll my eyes and crawl in*

*grins and follows suit into the bush, but gets whacked by Dspice's tail* OOF!

looks like karma strikes aga- *i stop, for in front of us stands an entire city, large-scaled, making us seem VERY tiny* *i stand up* *the sprites grin* sprite: welcome to our city! *i stare* this place is huge...

O.O second that one..

*the sprites giggle (a very annoying sound >< ) and they motion for us to follow them down a street*

*other sprites peek out at us as we walk down* holy shmoly...

*nervous cough* *the sprites lead us to a building shaped like a perfect square* *inside is one room, painted black walls and floor* *in the middle of the room is a small white box that seems to pulsate with energy* *two of the sprites are trembling and they stay outside* *the one inside with us is frowning and shaking slightly* sprite: in that box... it's a... *ahemahem* it's something you'll need. *the sprite runs out, chattering about something scary and evil* me: O.O okaaay... *i step towards the box*

erm...*stares* is it alive?? *peers closely and watches Dspice*

*i shiver* i don't know... *sighs* ok, ok, i can do this... *i take a deep breath and walk to the box* *i kneel down and reach towards it* *shiver* GAH! this is so... weird! >< *i take the box and stand up* ok.. *i walk back to jade* you want to open it or me? 0.o

since you had enough courage to take it, i'll open it. *stares at it for a moment more, then slowly opens the lid* *gets an icy feeeling on her back*

*a bright flash fills the room, and the next thing we know, we're standing in a wasteland full of dead grass, dark grey skies, and thunderclouds in the distnace* o.0 okay then... this is odd...

*drops the lid* whoa...well, this is welcoming. *looks around her* (it's raining, it's pouring, my old rabbit is snoring!!)

( o.0 ?!?!?!) heh heh, really... *i bend down and pick up the lid, putting it back on the box* *the box, closed once again, starts pulsating with energy* im pretty sure if we open the box again we'll go back to the sprite-world... *i look at jade, smirking* and im sure we don't want to try it out... *i chuckle* *a warm breeze blows by* *something in the distnace rumbles*

i certainly hope we'll go back to the spirit world. *listens to the rumbling* so then, where to? ( my rabbit snores..and it is really raining. *nods her head sagely*)

*i look around* *on the ground, there are marks where something must have been dragged* well, sources say that way- *points in direction of tracks* *it starts lightly raining*

off we go down the brown dirt road! *looks up and tries to stop the rain, but can't* weird..

heh heh, brown dirt road... *starts walking* *the rain slowly pours harder* *the rumbling gets louder* well, looks like it can't get any worse...

*lightening strikes in the ground in front of us leaving a black dent* no don't say that!

i mean, looks like it couldn't get any better! *shivers* *up ahead, there is a large black pile of metal objects* *there is a hole in the front, maybe an entrance?.....*

*sniffs, then hangs back* no, i don't want to go in there...*shakes her head furiously*

oh, come on, how bad could- um, i mean, it's not that bad... besides, the "evil one" is probably in there, so all we have to do is go in there and kick his booty!

*shakes her head* no! *scales are turning golden*

jade, calm down, it'll be ok.. *something from the pile of metal explodes... literally* *sharp metal peices of who-knows-what fly everywhere* DUCK! *i tackle jade to the ground*

*snarls as one hits her in the leg* WHAT IN ? NAME WAS THAT?!

>< i have no clue.. *metal peices fall all around* *the pile of black metal is gone: like, completely* okay, glad we didn't go in there... *brushes off metal sharapnel*

*is growling and snapping uncontrollably* yeah..but there was something in it. didn't you see something??

umm, no, i was face-down in the dirt trying not to get impaled. ><' *offer my hand to jade*

*accepts it* thanks...*shivers* but something made it explode...all i saw was a blur...*shakes herself and notices she's gold* oh gosh...i'm really scared. i only turn gold if i'm scared...

*pulls up jade* heh heh yeah but you look cool in gold. it suits you. *something growls from somewhere, but the dust hasn't cleared* uh... what...

*blinks* but that's not a good sign....*snaps her head to the growl* Dspice?? please tell me that was your oh-so-hungry-stomach...

*shrugs* that was my oh-so-hungry-stomach... but i'm telling you that 'cuz you said so. ><' *the growl comes from behind us* *there is a hunched over figure in the dust, large and with bent wings* *it's claws are huge and as the dust settles, we see it clearly* *it's face is snarling and it's fangs stick out of it's mouth* *the beast has sharp spikes all over it as well* well, i guess we don't have to look any further for the "evil one"... *the beat's eyes widen at the sound if its name*

i didn't mean like that..*mane bristles up and crouches momentarily*

*the beast straightens as much as it can* *he growls as he speaks* beast: grrr i amgrrr the one callegrrred the evil onegrrr... and i grrrr dont like yougrrr... me: well, nice to meet you too...

yes, very....*shrinks next to Dspice*

*the beast growls something we can't understand* *he roars and leaps for jade, claws outstrecthed*

*squeals and scrambles out of the way just barely* GO AWAY!!

*the beast skids across the dirt and turns around, clawing wildly* *i blow green flames at him and he steps bac, roaring*

*regains her balance and is shaking violently* oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh...*tries to calm down and help by blowing a weak star into the beast's face*

*the beast covers its face, growling loudly in pain* *turns to look at jade* are you ok? *the beast leaps forward and tackles me*

*stops shaking and growls* are you? i don't think so...*blows a brighter star that is hot enough to slightly burn the beast's face* let her go! *claws the beast*

*the beast,now blind in one eye, flails wildly at jade* *i roll away and crouch*

*ducks* are you okay?

psssh, it'll take a lot more than that to stop me, and- *the beast claws me across the chest* *i roar and claw him back*

*tries to get to an unprotected part of the beast and scratches part of its belly*

*the beast growls and steps back* *he's panting heavily and snorting* beast: i'll makerrrrr you a dealrrrrrr... and trrrrust me... rrrr... you don't want to rrrrefuse...

*snorts heavily* fine, i'll listen.....*scales turn to a deeper gold*

*the beast smirks* grrr... i will prrrrromise not to harrrrrm the sprrrrites anymorrrre, if you two drrrragons do me a small favorrrrr... me: oh yeah, a "small" favor, huh? what is it, be your servants forever, find some magical doo-hickey you need, kick someone's butt for you? beast: *chuckles*

*listens* yes? (haha! it's playing Casting Crowns Praise You in This Storm^^. and i just squished a second spider with the wheeley chair, and i felt it crunch! : ewwwwww...)

(o.0 c-casting crowns?! WHERE?! oh and eww... ><) *the beast smirks* i need you to give the sprrrrites something frrrrom me... *he nods his head towards a small black box behind him* *it resembles the one we previously had, except of course ours was white...*

(www.air1.com^^) *looks at him suspiciously* what's in it?

beast: *chuckles again* it is something that only the sprrrrites need to see... someone of yourrrr species woun't be able to handle it... *he laughs and growls at the same time* me: psssh, whatever. it's a box with a portal in it, like the last one. *i walk over to the box, which is pulsating with black energy* (leaves immidiently for casting crowns* ^^)

*is growling under her breath* what if we don't take it? ( well, now it's playing a Christmas song...)

beast: *stops laughing* severrrrre consequences.. me: HAH! im suprised you know the word "consequences" and was able to use it correctly in a sentance! *laughs* beast: *growls menacingly* *i pick up the box and frown* well, seems normal enough... (>< ah, curse you Lady Time, for you turly wait for no man... or woman... um, or girl.... ><)

( they do have a website, i think..) *tries to think of an excuse not to take it* erm..what if we open it?

(must... find.... website! 0.0) *beast laughs and says nothing* *i growl at the beast and slightly crack open the lid* *black light pours out and blue lightning sparks from inside* *i instantly shut it* oh, that's what happens...

(click music on the air1 website, and then inside the music, and then look for the letter C, click that.^^) *stares at the box* oh....what if we somehow accidently lose it? *smiles sweetly*

(oh crud, i have to go to bed. talk to you tomorrow! )

(awwww, bye! *glomps*)
