Let The Chaos Continue

Guess Who's Back, Back, Back

After locating the rest of their friends, the group headed back to JMA, sending Rosella, Sage, Pax, Raven straight to the infirmary despite the dragonets insistence that they were fine.

Boysen stayed behind at the Hybrid Pollution House to hunt for any leftover information and to make sure the place was thoroughly demolished. He was also in charge of watching the Icewing that had threatened Mora. 

Beluga, they had learned her name was. Thorn was sending guards to lock her up in the Stronghold until she, Joy, and Snowfall could have a nice little chat about what to do with her.

And seeing as two royal dragonets had been kidnapped during Beluga's regime, they all had a feeling that Joy would not let the Icewing off with a light sentence.

Joy was a good queen, in Deathbringer's opinion, but she was fiercely loyal to her tribes and family. If someone was hurt, killed, or mildly threatened, she usually demanded blood. Glory said she was poor at diplomacy and non violent reasoning, but Deathbringer thought that was a good thing. The other Queens were a little afraid of her, and that gave the Rainforest an added level of protection.

Speaking of Glory. The Rainwing was waiting at the entrance to the school, her scales red and orange with anger and annoyance as the group landed.

"Deathbringer." She growled, locking her eyes on the Nightwing. Deathbringer took one look at her and paled.

".....Nope." He proclaimed, taking off and flying away from the school. 

"Did he really just run away?" Wren questioned.

"I would've run." Raven agreed. "That's a scary dragon."

"But by running, he's only confirming his own death." Wren objected.

"That's his problem."

"He's so dead."

"We know."

Mora and Tsunami opted to tell the rest of the DOD what had gone down while Clay forced everyone else into the infirmary so he could make sure no one was injured.

But while Rosella passed Clay's inspection, Parch was a bit more thorough.

"I'm fine." She declared as Parch examined practically her every scale with worry.

"Are you sure about that?" He replied. She grabbed his talons in hers.

"I'm okay," She assured him. "You saved me."

"I should've saved you sooner. Who knows what they would've done to you in that place."

"It was nothing too bad," Rosella shook her head. "They were testing how quickly I'd heal from things. Burns, scratches. They tugged out one of scales, even." Parch fought back a growl at the thought. The idea of anyone harming a scale of Rosella made him want to murder something.

And, well, he had.

"It shouldn't have happened. I should've protected you better."

"Protected Schrotected. I'm fine, and you saved me when it mattered, and the bad guys are gone now. Problem solved."

"Okay," Parch sighed. She smiled at him, and he grinned in return. "I missed you though."

"I missed you too." 

"Parch!" Prism called from the front of the infirmary. "The teachers wanna talk to you." Parch rolled his eyes.

"I'll be right back." He told Rosella, kissing her quickly. Teal scowled at the hybrid from across the room.
