Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 The Dragon

Sarah gritted her teeth at the sight, knowing there's very little things she can do against this beast. She presses buttons on her mechanical palms, thrusters underneath her backpack began to blast powerful flames, temporarily levitating her in the air. She then immediately flies towards Bourbon and Duke, grabbing them out of the way.

The dragon then blasted a Water Breath down at the tavern as they all escape. "What the hell!?" Bourbon yelled in amazement as Sarah's thrusters do get extinguished, causing them to tumble all over near the other side of town. "Sarah!" Jacko calls out to them, then looking at the dragon. "Motherfucker we're not taking back Dust City..." Rift said.

Jacko then sees something familiar within the dragon. He looked closely at the orb. "I know how to beat it." Jacko suddenly said. Everyone looked at him, especially Bourbon. "I know everyone but who's this guy!?" Bourbon said.

The dragon then charges up another Water Breath directly at them.

Jacko then summons Ground Slimes all around the group. "Stay within the slimes!" He said. The ground slimes around the group began to be one with the ground.

The Water Breath then eradicates everything within the area, killing off those who failed to escape.

A click and a fwoosh sounded under the ground, illuminating a small ground den underneath the dragon. Jacko sat his back at the wall, panting. "Is everyone here?" He asked. Bourbon is holding the armless Duke up, Sarah lighting up a small ember on her mechanical arm and Rift standing by Jacko. "That was badass, dude." Rift said. "I know how to kill it, we just have to take the orb out of the body." Jacko said, ignoring Rift.

"Dragons have orbs?" Rift asked. "This one has one, and we just have to remove it." Jacko reminded. "How are we gonna even do that...and what is he!? He just got slimes out of his chest!" Bourbon yelled out. "I'm a Slime Summoner, Miss Bourbon..." Jacko said. "HOW DID YOU KNOW MY NAME!?" She yelled. "This is NOT the time!" Sarah snapped at Bourbon. "Well...I don't really have a plan to take it out." Jacko admitted. "I can do what I did before, but I don't know if I could survive doing it." Jacko says. "Oh so you could but you just won't cuz you'll die? What you can turn yourself into a bomb?" Bourbon laughed. "Don't say that, this dude is crazy." Rift said. "Not that crazy..." Jacko said, then shook his head. "Hey, the ground's leaking." Duke said with an unamused face. "Jacko, what was the plan you said before? Just tell us!" Rift asked.

Jacko felt the dripping water from the ground up, pressuring him even more. He then holds out his hands. "Finn! Grom! Broff! Mark!" He called out, letting his slimes jump out and looking at the other humans. "This is going to be painful, but it's going to work." He said. "Wait a minute...you summoned the fairy!? OH WAIT! YOU'RE THE VOICE OF THE FAIRY!?" Bourbon facepalmed. "Oh gods I should have known-" As she said that, the fairy slime then entered her head...

The claw of the Water Dragon slashes the ground, spreading water everywhere. "I'LL KILL YOU ALL! I WILL REBUILD EVERYTHING ONCE MORE!" The crazed dragon roared. It then heard a book from the ground, turning it's head to the direction and seeing a green spot. Jacko climbed out of the hole, no slimes with him and stood before the dragon. "The Slime One! Have you come to surrender yourself to me? HAH! GLADLY!" It's giant jaws then opens and suddenly, a pink explosion blasts at its mouth, pink rope emerges from the explosion and closing its jaws shut.

"I could get used to this!" Bourbon says, flying near the dragon's face, holding up two more pink bombs and then throwing them at the dragon's face.Despite doing that, the force of its jaws destroys all the rope and then blasts a Water Breath at the flying Bourbon, easily dodging it.

"Whooooo! Hooo!" Rift ran across the Dragon's legs, covered in pure steel armor and his sword being turned into a long extended steel whip and slashes both of it's legs down.

The dragon collapses, then suddenly large water tentacles emerges from the Dragon's back and then moves them tentacles towards Bourbon. "DIE!" The Dragon yelled, before feeling it's neck being held by powerful golem-like hands. Sarah's body seemed to have adjusted to the golem-like nature immediately. "Bourbon! Tie it up again!" She yelled. "I'm trying!" She then conjures more bombs by using the Fairy Orb she obtained earlier and kept throwing bombs with ropes, only to be blasted away by more Water Breath. A streak of fire then flies past Bourbon, blasting through the Dragon's head with intense heat and causing steam to rise around the Dragon's face. "Oh this will be the last time I'm enjoying arms!" Duke says, with his fiery arms then blasting fire at the Dragon's face once more.

Jacko walked to the Dragon's chest, keeping his eye on the Water Dragon Orb. He then takes a deep breath, as he then uses his water tentacles slime to go grab for the orb. Suddenly, water tentacles also came from the Dragon's chest, taking Jacko's water tentacles and absorbing it into itself. He then summons a grass slime to then bounce on, going for the grab once again. Then he was only caught by the water tentacles. A slash then comes out from Rift's blade as he sees Jacko getting caught. "Go get it now!" Rift yelled. Jacko then summoned a Fire Slime at his back and then blasts himself into the Dragon's chest and grabs the orb. He tightens his grip on the orb, causing the entire structure of the dragon to slowly diminish.

"What... WHAT'S HAPPENING!?" The dragon cried, as his Water Breath becomes weaker, the water all over his body solid started to melt. "I'll...kill all of you!" The face distorts into water.

"Gahddamn..." Bourbon says, watching it go down...

Suddenly, the slimes of Jacko emerges out of everyone's bodies and returning to Jacko, whom was holding the Dragon Orb tightly with his shifting and stirring Slime Arm.

Sarah catches both Duke and Bourbon and lands roughly on the muddy ground. "The boy's fighting it." She says, turning to Jacko.

"Damn...what the hell is he!?" Bourbon asked, finally interested in Jacko. "A monster." Duke answered.

Jacko then drops to his knees, the slime within his body starts to emerge and distort his body, slowly stabilizing as Jacko began to breathe normally...looking at what was once the Dragon orb. It had turned into a slimy blue egg, to Jacko's surprise. "Wait what?" Jacko held it and examined it. "This is new." Jacko said, as he then felt someone slap his back. "Nice one dude!" Rift laughed. "That plan was freaking dope! I felt like a real monster there too! Damn my body's gettin' all sore tho!" He groaned. "Sorry, that's kinda what happens when I do that." Jacko sighed, recalling what had happened to Broff back then. "Oh my god...That's a dragon egg!" Bourbon immediately took it from Jacko's hands, which he let her look at it. "It's made out of slime..." She gasps, looking at Jacko. "I'm going to have to write a report on you later." She then tosses it back to Jacko, walking away, then looking at the state of the town. "Dust Town...it's completely destroyed." Duke says. "Just make another, it's easier without those Magekeeps no more." Sarah said, looking at Jacko. "Where you headed again, Jacko?" She asked. "Grayhold." He answered. "Prove yourself to them and you'll get whatever you want." She says, before carrying Duke to one of the few remaining buildings. "Damn, guess it's just us now." Rift said. "Yeah...are you going to stay here too?" Jacko asked. "Dude, look at this place. It's fucked. And I'm too lazy to help build this up." He said. "So, I think I'm gonna come with ya." He then holds out his hand. "To Greyhold?" Jacko asked. "Hell yeah, I'll wear a mask of course, they won't recognize me with it on." He sneered. Jacko smiled and places the egg into his bag. "Alrighty, thanks Rift." Jacko said. "Anything for ya, dude." Rift smiled, while looking into the distance.
