Chapter 27: [Chapter 27] My First True Victory In A Fight
I wait patiently, my eyes shifting from side to side, trying to pierce the foggy blue water with my reptilian view. I see a blue scales tail flicker out of the blue fog and I take the chance! I launch forward off the shield wall as fast as I can, ripples fill the water as I dig my claws into his tail, or so I thought. He swings his tail back at the last minute and bites down on my snout. I'm dazed by the sneak attack as his teeth try their best to seize my upper jaw.
He slips and starts to drift off, he reacts and digs his hind legs into my stomach. I try to recoil from the pain but he still clings on. Blinded by pain, I start scratching at him and I hit his stomach, he spits out blood and gets launched backwards in the water, tearing off my stomach scales in the process.
I rear back and lose consciousness for a second, blacking out from the pain. I open my eyes and quickly look at my mission. 'I can still win this!'

All of a sudden, images and postures become engraved in my mind, I scream from the pain of it. Tidal Wave stares at me through the fog, wondering if he had won. But once they finish engraving, the pain becomes nothing but a dream, and I'm ready to kick his scaly butt, or so you would think. 'Damn it! I can't use this fighting style in the water! It's useless!"
'I gotta win this with acting then.' I see him charging at me, confidence written on his bloody face, I sit there acting like I can't move, injured to the point of his victory. He reaches out with his arms, about to grab me. When all of a sudden, I grab them and use his momentum to sling land on his back, his arms in my control. He makes a noise of surprise and which then becomes a scream as I pull upwards, his words slurred by his missing teeth and his screaming. "Pease no! I'll do anyfing, just don-" Then, I feel two pops, some armor flying off in the process. And I let go. He frantically kicks as he tries to swim away, his arms floating behind him. I let him go as I recuperate myself, trying to slow the bleeding. 'I pushed myself too hard that time.' I can't move as every movement becomes a struggle. But in the distance, two words are uttered that decide the outcome of this battle.
"I...surrender."
All of a sudden, the water starts lowering, and I feel the water get sucked into the tubes from which they originally came. And as we reach the floor, the ground is squished under my weight as blood slowly drips from my wounds. I immediately remove my gills and look over at the ref as he announces, as dumbfounded as he looks, "Kurayami is the winner!" Healers come out and heal us both and I look over to see how much damage he suffered from in our fight for victor while the healers do their work. He is missing many teeth which are replaced by foamy red blood, his back is curving unnaturally, dents and bulges showing, and he lays on his chest, his arms are laying there helplessly, like two strings.
I look at his mouth again to see wisps of black floating off of his teeth, suddenly stopping, and he smiles, "I'm surprised you didn't use shadow manipulation to cause more damage to me....but then again....you don't need it." His voice is mangled as it comes from his broken throat.
The healers come out and start healing us both, I have a few small holes in my stomach, a few large holes in my arms, and I'm missing scales on my side. The crowd stares at me in awe, seeing me beat the challenger, and I hear a few cries of joy at people who gambled their money on me. After about 5 minutes, I'm done being healed and the healers run over to Tidal Wave and start healing him as well.
I come out of my transformation and grab my box, putting it on my back, my armor self repairing itself. 'This armor is the most useful thing in my arsenal, I don't think I'll need a replacement.' I think cheerfully as I enter the room. 'Home Realm.'
Ability: Home Realm, is in use. My vision goes black and reappears again as I find myself standing in my room. "Meow!" Goes Winter as he jumps on my shoulder. "Hey bud." I go as I rub his gelatinous head. He starts purring which makes him jiggle in response. I set him back down on my bed, take off all my armor, put it back in the box, and then I lay on my bed as I fall asleep. My gelatinous blob of a cat falling asleep to my left.
I wake up about an hour later, and I rub the sleep from my eyes. I walk out the door and my eyes open wide from horror, 'Blood, so much blood.' It's a battlefield, littered with bodies, burn marks, holes, pieces of earth jutting from the ground, rivers filled with blood. I turn around to reenter my room, but the door is gone, and behind me are walls of darkness.
But what walks out of the darkness is a creature covered in chains. It has 2 tails, 2 sets of wings, and 6 arms. It is about 300ft long and 220ft tall, two 50ft long horns protrude from the dragons massive head, black flames burn off of the horns, licking the air to no end. He is covered head to toe in purple scales, his eyes look at me, his big purple cat like eyes.
He then speaks, his voice sounds dark and cold. "You are not worthy of this power yet, in the future, prove you are worthy of it, prove you truly have the strength to possess it, then you will be able to grasp it." I rocket up, covered in cold sweat and my heart beating as fast as possible. "What was that? Stats." I scroll down till I see one thing that catches my eyes.
—————————————————————
Dragon Morph (Active): Since you are a Shadow Dragon $!&3#*+, you have gained the ability to turn into 4 forms. ???, Dragon, Dragonborn, Semi-Human, and Human.

'What the? Something is wrong with this picture. There are obviously 5 forms but it says 4, and what the hell happened with the name, is it having an identity crisis?' I hear a meow and see Winter crawl onto my lap. I start petting him and he jiggles as he purrs.
Anyway, what time is it, I look at my watch, "It's slightly passed mid day. "Wait a minute, how did you know when I was arriving back? If you jumped any sooner, you would of landed on the ground." "Meow!" Winter jumps up and down seemingly joyous, he then just sits there, staring intently at the wall. All of a sudden, a hole opens where my wall once stood, I walk over and look in. My heart nearly stops, "This is.....the shadow realm."
It shows the place I first landed, the plains of flowers, the mountain in the distance, the black sun and it's ethereal black creatures. "We're you able to see what I was doing by warping the void?" Winter jumps up and down, jiggling and meowing each time he lands. He jumps up and lands right on my head, purring with joy. Ping!

"Did you just learn how to do this?" "Meow!" Responds Winter happily, seeing his master guess right. "Your one strange slime. But your the best pet anyone can ask for." I say while rubbing his jello like head.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Dragonjackel
Dragonjackel I’m not very good at fighting sequences. And one question, if you had to choose between three eggs, a white and gold one, one with blue spots and purple lines, or one that appears to have red and blue droplets on it, which one would you choose?
