Almost There

Suga

Come on, girls! Please don't stop. We have to keep going if we want to get stronger.

They started their training a day after arriving at their locations. They met the dragons that were living there and were able to get advice.

Kaashi

Suga, stop. They need a break.

Suga

Okay, fine.

Suga walked off toward the pond. She splashed water on her face, but then something looked up at her, and she screamed. They ran toward her and asked what had happened.

Suga

Something was staring at me through the water.

Kita

But there isn't anything.

Suga

Ah, geez. Let's go back to practice.

Everyone paired up and started practicing what they had learned, the dragons watching them curiously.

Atsu and Kawa partnered up and launched at Atsu, but Atsu moved to the side and slid her leg under her.

Kawa

ATSU!

Atsu giggled; she stood up and launched herself at her again. She then flicks her knife out of her armband, hiding it away from view.

Atsu

Come on, Kawa.

She turned around and examined her position, bending a bit low. Then, they launched at each other, Kawa dodging blows from her and landing a kick on her stomach.

Atsu

Augh!! Nice surprise.

Kawa smirked and sneaked behind her, Atsu wasn't fast enough to look behind her, and she felt a sharp point on her neck.

Atsu

Okay, okay. You win.

Putting her hand up, she let go of her, but she didn't notice her arm wrapped around her arm and flipped her over.

Kawa

ATSU!

Atsu

Haha, I win.

Kawa

You bitch.

Atsu stuck her tongue at her, and Kawa pulled her legs from under her.

Atsu

Waah!

Kawa

Haha.

Kita

Come on, girls. Switch partners.

They switch partners, everyone getting sweaty and dirty from landing on the ground. Finally, one dragon blew water at them and flew away, and they all laughed.

Kaashi

Guess we are done for the day.

Everyone went their separate ways to wash up. Suga head down the pond and behind the giant boulder. Splashing water on her, and something jumps out when she grabs more.

Suga

KYAA!

They ran toward the sound and noticed a baby dragon on top of her.

Kita

It looks like someone got attached to Suga.

They all laughed and helped her up.

Suga

It was you that was staring at me. Gosh!

She walks away, but the baby keeps following her.

Suga

Let me take a shower in peace.

She flew up toward one of the girls' showers. Even though she is flying, he is still following her.

Hinata

Haha, he is still following her even if he can't fly.

Everyone laughed and continued to clean themselves. Later that night, everyone huddles next to each other by the fire.

Yams

How many weeks do we have left?

Yahaba

At least three more weeks.

Futakuchi

Is there a surprise after we finish?

Everyone fell silent and looked at the three girls. Suga sighed, Kaashi shook her head, and Kita had a blank expression.

Suga

You girls have to find out. But now, we have to go to bed.

They all head to bed, and the baby dragon snuggles with Suga.

Suga

Guess I have more kids with me.

Everyone laughed.

Top's POV

The next day, some of the tops went out for material shopping.

Daichi

What else do we need?

Kageyama

Weapons?

Kogane

Why do we need weapons, though?

Ushijima

Back-up plan.

They split up and went to every weapon store until Kageyama noticed a wanted poster for the Queens in the Bitches Kingdom. So she pulled on the sign and went to the meeting spot.

Kageyama

ENNO!

Enno looked up and noticed Kageyama flying toward her.

Enno

What is it? Did something happen?

She showed her the poster, and her eyes widened.

Kageyama

There might be a lot more of this hang-up.

The rest came up behind the two.

Daichi

What are you two doing?

The two looked at each other and decided to tell her what they found. Kageyama showed her the poster.

Daichi

Where did you find this?

Kageyama showed them where she found the poster, and they were close to one weapon shop surrounded by other bookstores and potion shops.

Daichi

We got everything we needed; now, let's head home. But, unfortunately, we can't do anything about it.

They headed home, dropped all the materials in the conference room, and went to separate rooms.

Kiyoko headed outside into one of the tiny shabby houses.

Kiyoko

Damn it. When is he coming back?

Kiyoko realized his feelings for Yachi when he first laid eyes on him, and he couldn't get him out of his head. Then, someone knocked on his door; when he went to open it, he got hit in the head, and he caught a glimpse of long dark blonde hair before blacking out.

???

Damn, I thought it would have been easy to carry him.

???

Shut up; we need him. They can finally come to us.

The two left the small building.

——————————————————-

Suga

Someone help me! Please! This baby dragon has followed me since meeting him, and I want peace.

Putting the baby dragon to her face and softly bumped its forehead.

Suga

What do you see in me, you little brat? I want to know what she thinks of me! Augh.

The baby dragon

Argh!

She started laughing.

Suga

You copied me, you brat. Augh! I can't keep calling you a brat, hm... Maybe Reno.

Reno

Argh! Roar!

Suga

Do you like your name? I love it so much, it's so adorable, and you need to grow up strong, Reno.

Kaashi, Kita, and Yaku look at Suga.

Kaashi

At least she had calmed down for the past ten days we had been here.

Yaku

I agree; she even named him.

The three laughed and left Suga alone with Reno.

Yaku

We are leaving Suga from the training; she has some time with the baby dragon. Haha.

The rest continued the training without her.

Kaashi

Come on, girls!

They ran up and down the mountain, some falling while the rest continued until Kaashi told them to stop.

Suna

Damn. I want my sleep.

Kunimi

Me too.

Kenma

Hahaha.

The two glared at her, and she flipped her middle finger at them.

Kunimi & Suna

KENMA!!

The two chase after her, and she runs away from them while still going up and down the mountain, laughing.

Maria

Wow, I guess you guys don't want your kingdom back.

They look up and notice Maria with the Tops Kingdom.

Kawa

What the fuck!? You guys sold us out, wow! I can't believe we asked for their help!

Maria laughed and wrapped her arm around Kiyoko. He flinched.

Yachi

Kiyoko-san!? Why?

Kiyoko

I'm sorry, they would burn down my kingdom while everyone was asleep.

The Bitches put their hands down.

Maria

Wait a minute! Where the hell is Suga!?

Suga came out from behind the boulder and sighed.

Suga

Shut the fuck up, Maria! This is why I didn't appoint you as one of the Queens because of your thirst for power and that fucking stupid mouth of yours.

It zipped up Maria, and she pointed at the guards to cover her eyes, cuffing her up.

Reno

AURGHHH!

The guards back away from her and look at Maria.

Maria

Deal with it.

The dragons flew behind Maria and...

The dragons

AURGH!

Maria

What the actual fuck?

She turned around and dropped down.

Maria

Oh shit, shit. How is this possible? I thought it was only one dragon.

Maria tried to run away from the dragons, but one dragon got in front of her and sneered. So she turns to the other away, still another dragon.

Maria

Shit, shit. I hate dragons. Mommy, help me!

Everyone started to laugh. Some of the Tops helped the Bitches and untied them.

Hinata

SUGAMAMA!

She ran toward her, everyone else following behind, and they surrounded the two.

Suga

Are you girls okay? Did they hurt you?

Daichi came up to them and cleared her throat.

Daichi

We are sorry, we couldn't do anything when Maria had a rope tight around Kiyoko's neck, and she had guards surrounding the castle with the flame thrower.

Kaashi sighed.

Kaashi

It's okay. We would have done the same if one of our friends had been threatened.

Yamaguchi

Don't worry about it. But what are we going to do with Maria, though?
