"Well, this is by far our dumbest plan yet." Orange declared.
"We're not very good at plans, are we." Shore agreed. Ander shot them a deadpan expression as she finished setting up a snare in the hallway.
"How do you know how to do this again?" Orange asked.
"Hey, I had to catch monkeys for spiritual rituals SOMEHOW." Ander explained. Orange's eyes widened. "Now shoo, I've got this."
"But what if they take you?" Shore asked worriedly.
"Then you and your amore can go and wait around the corner. If I scream, come out spears ablazing."
"She is not my amore." Shore scowled. Ander hummed to herself, softly singing.
"Es amore.....no amistad pero amore....." she sang.
"SHUT UP." Shore proclaimed.
"Fine. Now go."
"I still don't think your way of baiting them is gonna work, but we'll give it a go." Orange offered, dragging Shore away. When she was alone, Ander skipped around the hallway, careful not to disturb the snare as she called out, trying to lure the mysterious dragon-nappers to her.
"HELLO THERE!" she yelled. "LALALALALA! INNOCENT, LONE, HYBRID PRANCING AROUND! PERFECT FOR ALL YOUR FREAKY HYBRID NEEDS! I HOPE NO ONE COMES TO TAKE ME- I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIGHT! LALALALALA!"
Shore, in the true style of his parents, facetaloned. Orange held back a groan and hit her head against the wall. But then Ander's yelling stopped, followed by an unfamiliar yelp as the snare was set off. The two of them raced out to see a huge Nightwing dangling from the ceiling. Ander looked up at him with a smile.
"Hi there, Mr. Pinata." she waved. "Anybody got a stick? Maybe he's full of candy!" The Nightwing's eyes widened.
"Wait a sec..." Shore thought out loud, studying the dragon's face. "I've seen him before."
"Well who is he?" Orange asked. Shore shook his head.
"It can't be. You're supposed to be in jail."
"Well, there's this thing called a break out..." The Nightwing explained. Shore's eyes widened.
"Somebody get Crimson." He urged. "We're in way over our heads. We're gonna need some adult help."
"Who is he?" Orange persisted.
"His name is Strongwings." Ander's eyes widened and she drew a star over her heart.
"Dios mios." Ander swore. "Where there's a Wings of Strong....there's a Fierceteeth."
"Who else are you working with?" Orange demanded.
"I don't know!" Strongwings offered. "Fierceteeth won't tell me anything. But there's a Rainwing with freaky fire eyes and a tattooed Sandwing."
"A Rainwing with fire eyes..." Shore repeated. He and Ander exchanged a glance.
"Welp." Ander declared. "We're screwed. I'll go call in a garrison."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Upon hearing the news, most of the group stared in shock. Dusk dropped to the floor, shaking his head and whispering worried thoughts at the mention of a tattooed Sandwing. Crimson paced the floor, looking concerned.
"So Boysen, Haze, Stardust, Ray, Cypress, and who knows who else have all been kidnapped by some Nightwings named Fierceteeth and Strongwings, a 'scary' rainwing named Pineapple, and a tattooed Sandwing?"
"Prickle." Dusk muttered. "The Sandwing's name is Prickle."
"I don't think you're understanding the severity of PINEAPPLE." Rin announced. "She's not just 'scary'. SHE SLIT MY DAD'S THROAT."
"She's tried to kill our parents on numerous occasions." Shore added.
"Even the dragonets of destiny are a bit afraid of Fierceteeth," Apple piped up. "She did kidnap Sunny once." Ember coughed awkwardly, causing everyone to turn and look at him.
"She's uh...." He began. "Fierceteeth is actually Starflight's sister, and therefore mine, Dusk's, and Dawn's great aunt."
"Yeah, well Pineapple is Shore, Rin, Ander, and I's aunt. And we'd still gladly kill her." Apple replied.
"Why am I related to all the murderous psychopaths?" Dusk whispered.
"You're not alone." Ander insisted.
"I think I've got more then you." Ember suggested. "Peril's my grandmother." A chorus of sounds of agreements went up.
"So, what do we do now?" Permafrost asked.
"Now...." Crimson began. "I ask Feather for reinforcements."
"Now," Shore added on.
"We send in my mother." Rin finished.
