Chapter 15

Sunny ran, faster and faster... She didn't look where she was going and almost ran into Peril. Sunny stopped and tripped over her own feet.

"What do you want? " Sunny said, still in tears.

" You need all the help you can get. " Peril responded.

" And what do you have to offer? "

" Friendship. "

Sunny almost laughed but stopped when she realized Peril was being serious.

" You... You're serious... " Sunny said, confused.

" I need more friends, as do you. It only makes sense for us to work together. "

"But I have friends... The dragonets... DRAGONETS!!! WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THEM!!! "

" Well... That does sound like a good idea. "

Then a bunch of Sandwings land in front of them. Burn herself lands behind them.

" Which one of you killed Blister? " Burn said.

They were confused. They knew about Thorn, but not Blister.

" We didn't kill them. " Peril responded.

" Really? She was burnt to a crisp. And you were the last on the scene. It could be that new Nightwing, but I dought it. "

Burn kept moving closer and closer to the two. Burn's tail swished from side to side, ready to strike.

" Sunny, stay behind me. " Peril said.

Peril straighten herself out and was ready to launch. Each one of them was ready to strike, none of them knowing of their abilities. Suddenly, Burn was stabbed through the chest with poison barb. Behind her was Fracture.

" You... dare... " Burn said.

Burn fell over with a massive hole in her chest. Fracture was huffing and puffing as if she had to swim her way here.

"Two down... Just one more to go. And you two won't be getting in my way. "

Peril flung herself at Fracture, but Fracture was able to catch her. Fracture slammed Perils head into the ground. Sunny looked worried. Suddenly, Bumblebee came from the sky and slammed into Fracture. Claws slashed, and tails whipped between the two of them. Peril stood herself back up, somewhat dizzy. They saw that Bumblebee dropped her bag, and Sunny picked it up. Sunny slung it around her back and was about to set off when Starflight landed in front of her.

" Starflight, oh good! Someone who can get us out of this! " Sunny said.

Starflight looked upset, then he jumped and hugged Sunny.

" Oh.. um... Thanks? " Sunny said, confused.

Starflight got off her and began to speak.

" Sunny, we need to go. Something bad has happened to Clay. "

Peril and Sunny fell silent. Peril looked suspicious, but Sunny was worried.

" Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go save Clay! " Sunny said, triumphant.

" It won't be easy... " Snowflake said, coming from behind Starflight. " He's being controlled by animus goop inside of him. "

"What is he after, anyway? " Peril asked.

" Clay is a distraction so no one can stop Fracture. She's going to kill every Sand wing queen. " Starflight added.

Sunny looked at the ground. If Clay is really being used as a tool, then we NEED to save him.

Then, Snowflake jumped.

" I think I remember where the last Sand wing sister is. " Snowflake said.

" Where? " Starflight asked.

" The Icewing palace. "

" But that's halfway across the continent... How are we going to get there first? " Peril asked.

Snowflake flew straight up, then landed right back down,

" There's a tunnel that leads to the Rain wing village that leads to the Ice wing palace. and I know exactly where it is. "
