“Who? Who is they?” Gio asked anxiously.
Smoky landed just feet away, and Jude dropped to the ground with a black bag. His mate was with him as they rushed to Gio, Taco, and Kace.
Jude pulled out his stethoscope, “Lay him flat on the ground.”
Casper did as his sentience ordered, and as soon as he was in the prone position, Jude started listening to Kace’s heart and lungs. Once he finished that, Jude took the earpieces out of his ears and started to gently press on Kace’s abdomen.
Gio watched until he heard a clap of thunder and saw the lightning hit the ground. Shock filled his system when he found himself facing his father along with his three sisters and one of his brothers. None of them were multiplex elementals, but they were powerful in their own right. His oldest sister, Tasha could call on the air, the middle, Sandra could call on water, the youngest, Chloe earth, and his brother Bixby could call on fire. He wasn’t worried what they would do to him, since their powers couldn’t affect him, but they damn sure could kill anyone else in Drago.
“You have entered territory without permission. Leave now and no one has to be hurt.” Pit snarled, as he landed and slipped off of Azul’s back.
Gio’s father laughed, “And who is going to make us leave? You? Your pitiful dragon? Who has the power to take out five elementals?”
Gio watched as one dragon after another landed and with each one another D.O.A. agent or two slid to the ground and stood next to Pit, until every one of them were facing Gio’s father and siblings.
“You think you’re a match for me and my family? We are elementals. We call upon our element and we destroy what we aim for. Hand over Giovani and no one will be hurt.” Gio’s father stated.
If Gio had thought his father would do as he said, he would have gladly gone with the man, but Gio knew better. He had heard his father make so many promises and the second he got what he wanted he would renege on each and every promise that spewed from his mouth.
“You forget how well I know you, father! You’ll just take me and then kill everyone here. It’s you that needs to go. You, Tasha, Sandra, Chloe and Bixby all need to leave.”
“You will be silent, boy, and get your fucking ass over here where you belong! I have searched for you for twenty five years and will not leave without you!” his father screamed. Thunder echoing around them.
Shaking his head, Gio snarled, “I’m not going anywhere with you, you son of a bitch! I’ll kill you all before I step one foot off of Drago land.”
“You?” His father asked, as he laughed, “The spineless little prick that refused to kill that fucking Feeb thinks he’s going to kill me? Your sisters? Your own brother? Tell me, Giovani, how exactly do you think you’re going to do all this killing? Because if anyone is going to die tonight, it isn’t going to be me.”
Gio noticed how he didn’t make the same promise about his siblings. Looking at his oldest sister, Gio asked, “You’d kill for him? Seriously Tasha? You would kill my mate? My family?”
Tasha looked ashamed for just one moment, then snarled, “I would die for my father.”
“Like Kace over there? You’d die for a man that did nothing but make your life a living hell? What of Gunther? Kyle? Hammond? Where are they? Teagan? Is he lurking around somewhere just waiting to kill me and my family as well?” Gio asked knowing full well Teagan wasn’t about to jump out and do anything. No, his brother was currently in a coma after the damage his father had inflicted on him all because Gio said no.
“We are your family not them. They are abominations that must die.”
“Been there done that have the dragon to prove it.” Boomer snorted.
“Teagan is dead and the others refused to help. We are here to bring you home.” Bixby snapped bringing up a fireball and shooting it at Gio.
All hell broke loose the second the fireball hit Gio. He stumbled back as Cobra shouted his name, but as he tried to explain to the man, it did nothing else to him. However, when Bixby tossed another towards Cobra, Gio shouted, “No!” pushing out a fast sharp wind and tossing it back into Bixby.
Dragons took to the air, and Gio had enough time to see the men around him were flying on top of the dragons. Sandra’s hands opened wide as she faced the lake and pulled upward, Tasha spun her hands in circles until a huge water tornado lifted from the middle of the wave and shot out towards the dragons, knocking some of the men from their backs and causing the dragons to tumble in the air, barely gathering their wits before hitting the ground.
Gio quickly drew his own funnel cloud up, and caught the men before they hit the ground hard, gently laying them on the ground, then turned to his sisters and shot a bolt of lightning at each one, grazing Tasha on her side, but hitting Sandra dead on and watched her drop to the ground.
Feeling the earth shaking, Gio gasped as he saw Cobra was in hand-to-hand combat with Bixby, both men shaking like everyone else as a large fissure opened up next to them. Bixby became distracted and left an opening for Cobra to perform a roundhouse kick, knocking Bixby into the giant hole Chloe had opened, her screaming, “No!”
Once Bixby disappeared, Chloe screeched, “You will die!”
“Bring it on, bitch.” Cobra snarled, getting back in his fighter stance.
Things began to shake so hard, branches fell from the trees and even trees began to rip out of the ground, falling to the ground all around them.
Gio shot a wind gust towards the objects tossing them back and away from his sentience. Dragons were breathing fire, towards Sandra, backing her up further and further. Gio saw that they were trying to force her close to the fissure and drop her in just as Cobra had done to Bixby. However, Sandra was too smart for that, and jerked one hand up, then another, calling upon her ice stakes and flinging one after the other towards the dragons and their maharishi. Gio shot fireballs out as fast as he could, melting them before they could touch either dragon or man.
Gunner rushed forward just as Sandra shot out smaller nail size icicles, and before Gio could do anything, they hit their mark and Gunner dropped to the ground. His maharishi went insane, rushing towards Gio’s oldest sister slicing away the ice bullets she kept throwing out, until he was on top of her, ripping off her head, spitting it on the ground, then lifting his head high, screeching loud enough for people to hear for miles around.
“Where is Marceli?” Pit shouted out, looking around the parklands.
