Chapter 2 - 2

"Put this on." Master Dragonaut commanded handing Michael his Dogi.

"Say Bo watch yo tone" Mike replied sizing up the reptilian creature unsure of what it was. All he knew was that there was a village full of them. "You don't know me like that."

"Well sorry we don't have time for formalities the idea is to put you to work be…"

Nodding his head Mike cut him off "I see what ya saying but watch ya mawth."

Handing Michael six body weights to put on his head, arms, ankles, and torso Dragonaut looked at his student and shook his head.

"So, gramps what ya got planned fo' me today."

"It's master Dragonaut…"

"Yeaaa some bout you says call you gramps. So imma call you gramps." Looking Master Dragonaut up and down Mike said. "And I definitely ain't calling you no Mastah. Like didn't we have this convo already."

Nodding his head as if to say okay keep it up, Dragonaut replied "You have both running and climbing in your agenda today."

"Behht!" Michael shouted. "I already be dusting twelve, now Im gonna really be dibbin' and dabbin' on they hoe ass."

Observing his student body language Dragonaut assumed that Michael thought that this would be an easy task. "So, you want to make things harder huh." Snapping his fingers four chains materialized with iron balls connected to them.

"Woah, wo…" Michael said trying to stop Dragonaut in his tracks, but it was too late for the chains were already connected to his wrist and ankles by the time he lifted his arm to object. "Say Bo, you trynna make me a slave fo' real, fo real."

"I wouldn't say slave, but you're definitely have to put in some work." Dragonaut mocked as his student struggled to move.

"Fuck you" Mike snarled snapping at his sensei like a chained dog.

Circling Michael as if he were a shark Dragonaut made a pipe materialize. "Make sure you run along the Canyons edge" he said hitting the pipe. "I'll be back."

"Hol' on wea, you goin'?" Michael attempted to ask but Dragonaut was no longer in sight. Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "Fuck it" and begun to run.

Eight hours Later

Keeling over as the last song on his mp3 played Michael mumbled. "Food, water, smoke…" as the world continued to spin. Pushing himself up once again for the hundredth time he staggered alone for another hour telling himself "just a lil mo'" before falling over.

"Can't move huh" Dragonaut asked as he bit into a piece of fruit.

Face buried in the dirt Mike turned his head to gaze up at his sensei. "Da fuck you looking at." He managed to whisper out.

"At your current ailment. It seems like you can't move." Dragonaut retorted, placing a cup next to Michael.

"Naw 4 real" Mike snapped sarcastically while reaching for the cup.

"Yes, sir but no worries. I have the perfect remedy for you."

"Don't be playing wit' my emotions bro." Mike said staring up at Dragonaut trying to see his facial expression.

"No worries I will take care of you" Master Dragonaut replied. Snapping his fingers, a smirk flew across his face as a tiny koala/kangaroo like creature emerged on the side of him.

Switching his gaze from his sensei to the animal that stood next to him Mike mumbled out. "What's that spose to do. Magically heal me or some."

"I wouldn't say heal you, but she will definitely help you. Right Tikbe" Dragonaut said petting her on the head.

Staring at the small furry four-armed creature a bad feeling stirred in Michaels gut.

"Tikbe, attack" Dragonaut commanded before Mike could utter out another word.

Eyes swirling and mouth foaming the animal went mad and launched itself at his new chew toy.

"Awww!" Michael shouted as Tikbe tore into his flesh. Lifting in the air as if he were possessed Mike ran for his life.

Chuckling Dragonaut said. "The Power of Adrenaline."

"Say Bo, get cho pit-bull, koala thing." Michael shouted glancing back at the Racksnort.

Leaping off his victim head as he swerved into the tree, TIkbe hopped back on Michael tearing him to shreds once again.

Rolling around laughing at Michaels pain Dragonaut said. "Don't let the fluffiness fool ya."

Smacking Tikbe off him Michael bolted off. "Stop chasing me you kanagaroo…possum looking muhfucka."

Doubling its effort as if it understood that it was being insulted Tikbe leaped onto Mikes shoulder clawing at him once again.

Screaming in agony unable to rid himself of the furry menace for two straight hours Michael collapsed on the ground. Staring up at Tikbe as she rolled off him Mike leaped up running for his life.

"Congratulations" Dragonaut shouted. "You made it."

"In that case get ya german, pitweiler thang off my leg." Michael shouted.

"Right, my apologies. Tikbe heal."

Stopping in her tracks Tikbe returned to her docile state.

"Aww she likes you." Dragonaut said as she commenced to licking and cuddling Michael.

"I bet she do after chewing on me like a doggie treat" Michael snapped trying to rid himself of the beast.

Fifteen minutes Later. "Ready for the second portion?" Dragonaut asked.

Veins popping out of his head Mike shouted "Whatcha mean am I ready fo' a second portion! you should be asking if I'm aite aftah yo pet monstah ova dere made me a dooby snack."

Picturing the event all over again Dragonaut tried his hardest to suppress his laughter. "Well you made it to the finish line did you not. I told you she was going to help."

Squinting his eyes Michael glared at Dragonaut but he didn't have the energy to respond. "Did ya at least grab some to eat for ya boy?" He asked his teacher.

Biting into his Gooje bar Dragonaut looked at Michael as if to say I knew it was some I forgot before handing one to him.

Snatching the bar out of his Master hand Mike demolished it within seconds. "Thanks dawg I been running fo bout thirty hours."

"Well actually, you have been running sixteen hours and twelve minutes."

"Wait wha! Sixteen hours shoot it's time to lay dine." Michael remarked.

Laughing Dragonaut shook his head. "I forgot to explain to you the dynamics of how Mythellonia works. Here there is forty-eight hours in the day. During the summer thirty-two of them are during the day while the other sixteen are at night. But during the winter there is only sixteen during the day and thirty-two at night. One week here is equal to one of earth's orbits."

"Hol' on! Hol' on, so you telling me. I have a whole 'notha day ov training."

"Correct"

"Damnnnn" Michael moaned. Taking a deep breath, he glanced up at his sensei shrugging his shoulders. "Fuck it, lets get this over wit'."

"Alright." Dragonaut said walking off towards the edge of the canyon.

Following behind his sensei Michael could feel a sudden rush hit him from the gudjre bar. Throwing his arms back and forth he said. "Oh yea, lets, do this."

Turning around as if he were about to speak Dragonaut dropped low and swept Mike's feet from underneath him tossing him into the canyon. "Make sure you bring back something good to eat!" Dragonaut yelled.

"Fuck youuuuu" Michael shouted back. "Damn it, I can't die hea'" Mike thought as he fell. "I haven't made a milly yet. I ain't even had a threesome! Damnnn! I can't go out like no bitch." Blacking out as he fell everything went white.

"I must be dreaming" Michael thought standing in front of a tree that rose beyond the clouds with two Dragons on each side of it.

Staring down at him with hazel eyes and a golden slit in the middle of them was the Dragon of Lightning, who floated on the left side of the tree. She had a long serpentine body with a head that resembled that of a fox, a long lion like mane made of spikes, and a long gator mouth. Shimmering gold scales rested on her body and glimmering copper steps trailed down her back leading to a spear like tail.

Standing erect on all fours like a Doberman on the right side of the tree was the Dragon of flames with scales that started off at a Crimson red from its feet but became lighter until they reached a fire opal at his head. Glaring down at Michael with smoky gray eyes and a burgundy slit in its pupil he turned his head to the side as if to show off the five horns that sat on the back of it like a crown. Averting his gaze towards the lightning Dragon, he then spread giant jet-black wings, which hid amongst a mountain of spikes crawling down to the flail of a tail.

"We will lend you our power but just this once. You must gain the will to possess it of your accordance."

Watching the two Dragons rocket into the sky and merge with one another, everything went black and he could feel himself falling once again. Opening his eyes, a golden steaked cross now sat in the middle of his pupils. Blinking his eyes pain rung through his teeth and nails as they grew becoming that of Dragons. Flipping over and levitating towards the ground he could feel the power surging through him.

"Whatz going on" Michael thought as he found himself once again in darkness this time with a giant theatre screen sitting in front of him. He could feel the sensations and power the Dragons resonated but had no control of his movements. All he could do was watch through the screens of his eyes.

Landing in a den of over a thousand Amnarak Komadaras Michael found himself surrounded. "Damn them thangs ugly" he thought sizing them up. Each one of them stood eight to twenty feet tall with oval shaped faces and giant beaks for a mouth. Their eyes sat on opposite side of their face's and their upper bodies were hairy and built like gorillas while their lower bodies were scaly and formed like a velociraptor.

Awhnn Rawhnnn the creatures shrieked becoming riled up.

Placing both hands to his side two weapons materialized in Mikes hand. In the left a polearm and on the right a sword. Thrusting his sword into the ground he scanned the environment inspecting the layout of the canyon while counting the number of Komadaras. Placing a firm grip on the polearm that stood shoulder length to him Michael turned his weapon horizontally. Sliding his hands to the middle of his weapon he twisted it and split the polearm in half revealing the chains hidden inside.

Hearing a click Michael looked at the end of his polearm where a yellow gem sat with a red shard in the middle of it. Watching as the shard switched over Mike was shocked as a second dragon head appeared, identical to the one on top. Mouth opening a curved blade crept out making the polearm perfectly symmetrical.

Awnnn Rawhnnn the beasts shrieked once again as they all flooded in towards their prey.

Releasing his weapon, it floated in the air then dispersed each end going opposite ways. Creating an octagon ring Michael and the alpha was separated from the pack.

A menacing howl spread through the air as the pack became enraged and begun to claw at the cage that separated them from their leader only to be electrocuted.

Rubbing the ruby red gem on the pummel of his sword Mike followed it down to the yellow shard in the middle. Yanking the long barbaric sword out of the ground they lifted it in the air.

"Oh, snap that's mine." Michael yelled mesmerized by the sword. Looking beyond the gold and burgundy bands on the grip he noticed that the guard resembled that of a compass. The compass led to a Dragon head which had three blades protruding out of its mouth. The main blade was a long blade which had two external blades connecting to each side of it from the end of the blade down into the Dragons mouth. This weapon to was perfectly symmetrical.

"Ya'll will have to wait. Maybe you would get chosen on the next go around."

"Ion talk like that" Michael said annoyed. "I guess my life really izza movie."

Rawhnnn! The alpha howled charging in towards Mike.

Sidestepping the creature, the Dragons' laughed as it ran into the cage electrocuting itself. "Have to do better than that" they taunted leaping onto its tail and running up its back.

Falling onto its back and rolling over as if it was on fire the komadara tried to squash Michael but he flipped off its back. Landing on the cage Mike propelled himself forward. Howling the beast swiped at his attacker furiously. Dodging the first swipe in mid-air the Dragons kicked off the second then slid under its leg. "Have a nice fall" they teased, as they cocked their sword back and hit the back of its leg with the flat of the blade.

Attempting to leap onto the falling Komadara Mike was swatted out of the air. Rolling over on all fours the beast clamped its jaws down missing its prey by a hair. "That was close" Michael shouted leaping out of his recliner and staring at the boulder that was crushed by the jaws of the Komadara.

Standing upright after being slapped by Michael's sword the komadara begun to release a menacing howl. "Awww koochie koo lil baby mad." Mike said as the beast flailed its fist, upon the ground trying to crush its prey. Dancing in between the attacks the Dragons smiled as their opening came into view and leaped into the air as the creature rose up for another devastating blow.

Staring face to face with its food the Komadara pecked at Michael but the Dragons blocked his attack with their sword. Spinning around they kicked the creature in the eye. "Ahn, Ahn" said Michael as he watched himself land on the ground then charge in upon the stumbling creature hitting it with an uppercut. "ohhhh you aint ready."

Catching its balance, the Komadara threw a tantrum. Smashing its' palms on the ground and stomping its feet rampantly it shook the canyon. Calming itself down the rest of its pack became incited. Picking up debris off the ground it homed in on Michael then begun hurling the giant chunks of earth at him.

Slashing through most of the projectiles Mike then took two mighty strokes of his sword and released a flaming X which disintegrated the rest of the incoming missiles. Using the dust as cover Michael positioned himself behind the beast and slashed into the back of its leg. Glancing down at its prey as its leg buckled the Komadara fell on one knee unable to do anything as it received another menacing blow that knocked it backwards.

Grabbing the creature by its tail Michael spun around furiously before launching it into the air. Running towards the cage wall he used the chains to slingshot himself towards his victim hitting it once again with the flat of the blade. Gliding pass the Komadara Mike ricocheted off the opposite wall hitting the creature a second time knocking it a little bit higher into the air.

Continuing this assault until the top of the canyon was breached, they flipped above the creature then spiked it down.

Snacking on a kogle leg Dragonaut stepped out of the way as the Komadara came crashing down. Staring at the creature then Michael his head tilted. "Qal?".

"In his flesh" the Dragon of fire spoke.

"Don't forget about me"

"Chokma"

"Wait" Dragonaut shouted. "All these centuries and you still haven't learned to tie up your prey after taking it down."

"Oh right." They spoke. Snapping Michaels fingers iron chains materialized around the creature preventing any movement.

"One more thing."

"What is it Now?" Qal asked.

"Will he remember?" Dragonaut questioned.

"Of course, but it will feel more like a drunken dream." They replied before diving back into the canyon.

Awwwn Rawhhn the Komadaras howled and shrieked as Mike returned. Gazing at the hostile creatures they grabbed hold to the Polearm retracting it back to its original state. "O wow 1.3 seconds" Chokma remarked shocked. "This canyon must go on for kilometers."

Two hours later

Jolting up out of his sleep Michael swung wildly trying to hit whatever shook him awake. Stepping away from his student as he swung Dragonaut asked, "Are you alright?"

Holding on to his head disorientated the memories of the battle with the Alpha Komadara flooded Michaels' mind. Remembering the fact that Dragonaut tossed him into the canyon Mike glared at his sensei. "You gotta see me fam." He said trying to shake off the nauseating feeling.

Sensing the confliction in his student voice Dragonaut replied, "We have no time for quarrels we still have training to do."

Sighing Michael said, "I need a blunt." Shaking his head one more time and stretching he moaned before getting up. "Let get dis ova wit'"

Laughing as his student, stomach growled Dragonaut handed him another Gudjre bar. "You might need this" he said.

Snatching the bar out of his sensei hands Michael scanned the area. "Wea that uh… Goraptah go" He asked with his mouth full.

"Goraptor?" Dragonaut questioned.

"Yeaaa it looked like a Gorilla and a raptah Gorahptah"

"oh, the Komadara there already preparing him for the Red Moon Festival."

"Red Moon Festival that's like fo days from now."

"That is how long it will take to make."

"But Im trynna eat right now. Like I should be smashing on one of those Bengritz sandwiches knowamsayinnn."

Leaping up in one of the trees Dragonaut said "If you wanna eat you have to follow me."

Sighing Mike said, "You fucking up, you know that right." Walking up to the tree he pictured the fight with the Alpha Komadara. Touching the tree, he said "I got this."

Laughing as his student tried to go vertical as he did Dragonaut yelled. "What made you think that was going to work."

"If you don't get yo gremlin looking ass on somewea" Mike mumbled as he stepped a few feet away from the tree. "Blue 52, Red 21 break it dine…hut hut." Feeling a burst of energy flow through his body Mike snapped off.

"Still not going to work." Dragonaut mocked.

"Shit can a nigga try damn." Michael said frustrated. Taking deep breaths Michael turned around taking in the environment trying to find a way up the tree.

"There you go think" Dragonaut thought as his student walked over to a bush tugging at its vine.

"Fuhk" Michael yelling slicing his palm on one of the giant thorns. "I got some fo yo ass." He thought taking both his T-shirt and undershirt off and wrapping them around his hands.

Still spectating Dragonaut wondered how he planned to cut the vines once they were untangled from the brush. Shrugging his shoulders, he kicked back and went to sleep.

37 minutes later. Tying up the last piece of vine Michael walked over to the tree. Tying one side to a rock he walked around the tree. Thinking of an animated movie off Beeznees channel Mike tied the vine around both wrists. Getting rid of the slack he climbed up the tree like a caterpillar.

"Ooooo I know that feeling" Dragonaut mumbled watching as his student slid down the tree after forty minutes of climbing.

Landing on his feet Michael legs snapped and buckled under him. Trying to flip over his body cramped up in mid turn. "Aaah" he screamed trying to get up, but his body wouldn't let him move without locking up. Closing his eyes Mike took deep breaths as a burning sensation spread throughout his body.

"Quit acting like an orchner and standup" Dragonaut shouted from above.

"aww my legs, my neck and my back aww the" pausing in midsentence Michael realized he could feel his legs again.

Watching his student shake his legs after getting up Dragonaut asked. "You did know you could regenerate right."

"Of course, mayne, I was just practicing for when my life became a movie knowamsaying." Mike lied. Grabbing the vines once again he moved his arms and stretched his body realizing that the rest of him healed to. Taking note of this Michael commenced to crawling back up the tree.

Five Hours Later. Finally reaching one of the branches Michael felt himself slipping as he reached out to gra a vine hanging from a tree branch. "Dang it to far" he thought. Squeezing hold to both vines tied to his wrist with his left hand he untied the one on the right then connected to his left. Grabbing a second vine with a rock tied to it he launched it up at the branch but couldn't get it to go over. Trying it a few more time he got the rock to go over. Tying the vine as if it was tie, Mike made a second loop at the bottom creating a swing. "And they say watching cartoons are for kids. Cartoons two, school zero."

Reaching the branch Mike hurriedly climbed on top. Breathing ecstatically his entire core felt as if it was on fire. On top of that he had no energy to move. Lying there trying to catch is breath he stared up at the canopy above until he dozed off.

"Damn" Mike groaned waking up a little over half an hour later. "Felt like I been sleep fo' bout five hours, a nigga done started dreaming and shit." Yawning as he stood up Mike stared at the tree with blurry eyes. Taking his mp3 out of his pocket he placed his headphones in his ear allowing the music to wake him up.

"I'm all bout, my paper i ain't worried bout no hater. I say that cheese made me greater so I aint worried bout a hoe or trying ta save hea."

Hearing the racket coming from his student Dragonaut couldn't help but look down to see how far Michael was coming along. Watching him drop his mp3 after it got caught on the tree, Dragonaut dove down to retrieve it.

"Damn!" Michael shouted gazing down at his mp3 as it fell. Losing sight of it Michael placed his focus back on the climb "I said I'm sorry mama" he begun to rap.

Seven hours Later. Pulling the earbuds out of his ear Dragonaut didn't understand why Michael listened to it. Though he did like the instrumentals. "I spent three hours trying to figure It out for nothing." He mumbled putting the ear buds in and turning on the instrumentals.

"Ya'll fellas know what happened to that dude sumn sumn sumn…" Michael rapped not knowing the words. Bobbing his head and rocking h saw some out of his peripheral. Glancing towards the figure he noticed that it was his sensei. "ope and he sleep." Rubbing his hands evilly Miked worked his way onto Dragonauts tree branch.

Snoring loudly Dragonaut had no idea that his student was on the way. Rolling over as Michael leaped in the air in attempt to land the peoples elbow, he evaded the attack.

"What was that" Dragonaut whispered feeling Mike tug at his shirt before falling out of the tree. Following the sound of the yell he stared down at his student with blurry eyes.

"Awww" Michael yelled closing his eyes preparing to hit the ground.

"You can open your eyes up now."

"What da" pushing himself out of Dragonauts arm he looked up at his sensei. "We neva speak ov dis again. And uh thank ya."
