The dracodile stood up and shook its whole body. It spread its wings and then growled so loud that they covered their ears. It blew fire, so they dodged on the opposite side and ran away. Its sharp teeth show how frightening this carnivore-looking beast is. Another dracodile woke up and did what the other one did. It opened its wings. This is bad. They woke them up in a bad manner. She saw the 2 necklaces hanging from the foot of each dracodile. So, the gold version of those is their target.
Second turned a look to the other group and ... T-They are already riding their dracodiles! They are happy as their dracodile danced gradually in the air. At first, their flight was shaky, but it went smoothly not long after. Ninezen waved at them while most of them screamed out of fear or excitement they felt while riding. It feels like she's a kid watching the adults ride a roller coaster where they scream while she envies them because her mother won't let her ride one. If she could, she would like to ask the other group how they tamed, rode, and fled with the dracodiles.
This is the gold team member riding their respective dracodiles:
Gold dracodile 1: Forzen (14th), Sixzen (16th), Fifzen (15th), Sevenzen (17th)
Gold dracodile 2: Aeizen (18th), Sectwen (22nd), Ninezen (19th), Thirtwen (23rd)
"They're on board too!" Ninth declared.
It took them 15-20 minutes before they found out how to tame it. Everyone was alarmed, so they boarded immediately. The dracodiles seem kind, contrary to their appearances.
Silver dracodile 1: Second (2nd), Fourth (4th), First (1st), Third (3rd)
Silver dracodile 2: Sixth (6th), Aeith (8th), Fifth (5th), Seventh (7th), Ninth (9th)
Third is their chosen driver–no, controller. This is their corresponding position:
(dracodile's head) Third-Fourth-Second-First (dracodile's tail)
Third ordered one boy at each end of the dracodile so that they could ensure the safety of the members from falling, just in case.
(dracodile's head) Fifth-Sixth-Aeith-Seventh-Ninth (dracodile's tail)
"How will they fly?" Fifth shouted because they were riding two different dracodiles and were apart from each other.
"Can you beat its ass, like what they do on a horse?" – Seventh
"If the dracodile can feel it? It is part crocodile, so the skin is thick. Our hands will bleed before they feel the pain." – Aeith
"We might even be dead before we'll fly." - Ninth
If Seventh imagined a way for the dracodile to fly was to make it feel pain, there was a part that could be struck, kicked, or punched that would surely hurt it for a second.
"Their eyes!" Second shouted for everyone to hear.
Third nodded. He stomped his feet on the beast's right eye. Case in point, nothing happened.
"One more"
Third had already used both of his feet and kicked its eyes with full force. The beasts wandered slightly and growled. It slowly opened its wings as its eyes blinked. The other silver team's dracodile flapped its wings. They flew ahead of them. When she saw them and heard their screams, she got goosebumps. All of a sudden, she wanted to pee.
"Hey, hey, are we going to fly? I don't want to. I'm not ready-ahhh!" It was Second who suggested a move, yet it was also she who didn't want to fly.
Their dracodile has flown, too. It was like they were riding an extreme roller coaster death ride. And since there was neither a metal handle nor safety belts, Third clung tightly to the monster's head, and they, his passengers, clung to the member who was in front of them and held onto their waist.
"Whaaa!" Fourth shrieks.
She feels heavenly, but simultaneously she feels like she's going to puke. The cool breeze and scenery are pleasing, yet her heart is drowning in cold water with so much tension. Because of this ride, she learned some information about herself, which is her fear of heights.
She felt First's grip tighten on her waist, and he rested his chin on her right shoulder.
"Scared?"
"Mm," She nodded while still clinging to Fourth's waist.
She can feel her braided pigtails on her cheek. Her scream deafens her. On the contrary, if she feels extreme like this, she can no longer scream. She keeps all her emotions to herself so that she might burst later when they land.
First tightened his grip even more and blew into her ear so that her head leaned at the tickle.
"Your ears are red, and you look so pale. You need warmth."
The guts of this guy! How come he's cool and calm during all this?
"A-Aren't you even s-scared?" She closed her eyes for a second because of the strong wind. This is to prevent dirt from entering her eyes.
"You can scream, it's better than keeping it on your own. We're in an open, only the four of us can hear your hoarse voice."
She doesn't know if that's supposed to encourage her or what. But she's really stiff right now, so she's not in the mood to take his joke.
"Whaaaa!" She shouted. She followed what First recommended.
"Yeah!" shouted First as well. But his scream is a completely different scream from hers. How she wishes she had that courage and enthusiasm.
The fear and nervousness she felt when she saw and appreciated more of the beautiful scenery suddenly disappeared. She spread her hands as if she were a princess. That happiness also faded when their dracodile flew down, so her face was facing down.
What?!
They landed on the ground just a few meters away, but the monster continued to fly down. Coincidentally, its face was on the ground. One small wrong move and they'll meet an accident.
"Third! What's happening?!" Fourth shouted, but they heard no answer from their controller, Third. He has been silent since they rode this dracodile.
50 meters ... 43 meters ... 38 meters ... 30 meters ... 25 meters ... 16 meters ...
She closed her eyes.
10 meters ... 4 meters ... 2.5 meters ...
"We're back," First whispered.
She was wide-eyed and confused about what happened next. They did not land on the ground, but they were only two meters away from the ground.
"Second, are you alright?" She turned to First, who looked concerned.
He touched both her cheeks. When he did that, her whole soul came back in a flash.
"Yeah, yeah, I-I'm-ah!" She lost her balance for a bit. Thankfully, First caught her.
Second must be pale right now because she feels lightheaded. She took a heavy breath. She brushed her long hair with her fingers, which is messy right now. Third outbalanced his control of the dracodile they were riding. He apologized for it. It can't be helped because from the very start, none of them know how to fly one. They are still grateful that Third took part in being the controller, regardless of the circumstances they had. She saw her other teammates flying safely and happily, as well as the gold team.
Wait, shouldn't they be fighting each other for the necklace? Eh, it looks like they're enjoying the ride with the dracodiles.
