"The Conflict of Fire," Nogard said, transforming into her anthro form. "As challenger, you must lead."

"Yes," Inali said, removing her cloak to transform into her anthro form (which was an exact duplicate of Nogard's).

Grabbing Nogard's ankle, Dragon said, "...Becareful..."

"This'll be over in five minutes," Nogard replied, glaring at Inali.

Together, Nogard and Inali flew into the air. When they hit thirty feet, they transformed into identical dragon forms. As they rose further into the air, the red dragons slowly revolved around each other--always keeping twenty to thirty feet between them at all times. At nine-hundred feet, the dragons leveled off and glared at each other.

At first, it seemed like nothing was happening, but to a non-human one could see waves of heat radiating out from the pair. Soon, even humans could see the waves of heat as they included tiny flickers of flames. [1] This went on for two minutes before the dragon on the right whipped around slashed the dragon on the left with her tail.

Reeling backwards, the dragon on the left flared into flames for a second. Snarling, the dragon on the left zoomed towards the dragon on the right--who appeared to be grinning and looked ready for the attack. When the dragons collided, they briefly erupted into a furnace of flames that could be seen for a thousand miles in any direction. [2] As the flames cleared, the two dragons were writhing around each other--clawing and biting, ripping and tearing; each trying to be the victor.

After five minutes, one of the dragons groaned and plummeted to the ground with the other close behind. When the first red dragon slammed into the ground, the second landed victoriously over her and roared.

Revelation

As Nogard and the look alike took off into the sky, Dragon looked at the six who remained on the ground. "I may not have access to my powers, but I'm sure your superiors told you how dangerous I was nonetheless."

"Aye," said the green haired fellow. "But--"

"Do not tell me my most worthy opponent has been beaten by a bunch of human mortals!" someone called out.

"Not really, Skully," Dragon said as the King walked up to her. "I just decided to relax here while Nogard fights my potential imprisoner above."

"Imprisoner?" Skully asked, looking at Dragon. "What've you done?"

"Not quite everything they claim," Dragon said, pointing at the six around her. "Though probably enough to be as wanted as they claim."

Looking at the six, Skully said, "Dragon's MY prey so you'll have to go through me to get to her."

"It's not her we're after," the blue haired one said. "Inali is taking care of our target."

"Bwha?" Dragon asked as Skully gave his psycho-face. [3]

"Do not misinterpret us," the red haired one said. "You, Dragon, are just as wanted as your sister above. However, the people who hired us gave strict orders to leave the rest of the Dynasty alone. We were only to draw you to us so that your sister would follow of her own free will--you are Nogard's one and only weakness."

Dragon looked at the six. After a few minutes, she said, "As they injected me with a destabilizer, Skully can you do me a favor and rip their skulls out?"

"With pleasure," Skully said, approaching the youngest (with orange hair). Before he could get too close, one of the two red dragons landed on him. "GUAAAH!"

"You low life lizard," Dragon snarled at the victorious red dragon. "You only THINK you know who you're dealing with!!! I've been to your realm and your version is WEAK compared to this one!"

"Yet I was able to beat her," the dragon said as it transformed into Inali. "And yet Nogard is the strongest in your version."

"I will rip you apart," Dragon snarled as she struggled against the destabilizer.

"You'll not want to do that," Inali said. "In five seconds, you'll get a nasty shock for your troubles."

Ignoring Inali, Dragon slowly climbed to her feet. Teetering, Dragon glared at Inali and s--
