Cherreads

Chapter 26 - Fresh Air

*As the group was greeted by Zara and the children, the story shifts to Velocity who went on a little adventure on his own. The last known location of Velocity was right after the battle with DigRum and Sinnax outside The House of Talent. Velocity and Viz went their separate ways because Velocity wanted to make his way to The Royal city to train and told Viz he was going alone. About a week has passed Velocity is a few hours away from the royal city. On his journey, he has been hunting various types of wildlife to survive and has been enjoying himself that's when he found himself heading towards screams.

*Screams in the distance*

Velocity: What is that?

*more screams and explosions *

*Curiosity got the best of velocity so he made his way to the screams and he came to the entrance to a dark cave a strong gust of freezing cold wind shot out from the mouth of this creepy and daunting cave. A smirk cracked around Velocity's face his body was covered in goosebumps from excitement he did not know what was in this cave system but he knew whatever it was he was going to have fun. a Loud booming snarl bounced around the cave walls till they reached velocity ears and chest. He rushed in ready for a battle. he navigated his way through the rocks following the sounds of the cries and the sounds of a battle. That's when he reached a large opening in the cave, ice shards everywhere pillars of ice stretched from the floor to the ceiling, and at the center was the Creature. A Black Dragon with a blue underbelly. In this cave, it was surprisingly well lit the ice that was in this cave gave off a bright blue glow as if it was alive. Without hesitation or second thought he jumped right into battle. he threw a strong punch at the Dragon but it seemed to not have done any damage but the dragon was stunned for half a second due to the force behind that punch. Velocity looked around the room he sees 6 injured boys he assumed they were between the ages of 15 to 18. they were all dressed in the same outfit, were they part of some team? Velocity did not have time to think about that, his current objective was to beat this dragon before him. the excitement in Velocity's heart overflowed as he and this dangerous Creature stared down at each other the sparks in the two's eyes were both fierce. Velocity rushed the dragon again and the Dragon raised his large paws to crush Velocity. As the two attacks clashed it created a large shock wave and leaving a crater where Velocity stood the dragon then released a freezing ice attack Velocity easily dodging out of the way but the dragon was unrelenting still releasing his icy dragon breath creating huge Ice walls all around and even sealed the entrance Velocity had to act quick grabbing and throwing the boys out of the way for the attack the dragon was shrinking the room and by the time he finished the full room was covered in ice and the only exit was blocked by at least 3 meters of ice and the ceiling that was easily 12 meters now only about half of that. The dragon didn't seem to care he also caged himself in the dragon still able to move with ease targeted Velocity, no longer caring much about the other 6 boys. With a devastating headbutt aimed at Velocity who managed to block it with both hands was pushed up against an icy wall Velocity raised his right hand to unleash a heavy hit connected straight to the top of the dragons head that seemingly did no damage and the dragon still pushing Velocity against the wall with an unrelenting force. Velocity clasped both hands together and slammed it against the dragons' skull. This time it seemed to do a bit of damage the dragon let out a horrifying snarl and backed off of Velocity and bolted at the defenseless boys almost managing to reach them only stopped by Velocity who grabbed his tail just before he was able to reach them. Velocity pulled the dragon back but it wasn't working too well the ice put Velocity at a disadvantage sliding on the ice-covered floors not able to get any traction and while the dragons' razor-sharp claws digging into the ice giving him a firm and tight grip on the ground. He began slowly getting closer to the boys, Velocity noticed he had to do something and shoved his hand under one of the dragons' strong and thick scales and forcefully dislodging one and jabbing it back into the freshly exposed meat of this beast. The dragon instantly turning and snapping at Velocity and drawing blood from his arm. At that moment Velocity dropped to his knees feeling dizzy and light-headed. His breathing was getting heavier and the air around him seemed to have less and less oxygen.

*due to the fact the dragon sealed off everything with Ice there was no airflow and no new oxygen was able to enter Velocity began to suffocate, and it was no better he was fighting this dragon. Velocity had to end this fight and he had to end it fast. It was no longer a fight between him and the dragon but also he had to race against time!*
