Chapter 9

9 The badgers scattered, tripping over Mina and Zora in their haste. The Thunder Drum was now lying unprotected on the ground. Quickly, Hana swooped down to grab it. She was just in time! Chaos Critters scuttled all over the ground where the drum had just been.

獾们四散奔逃，匆忙中被米娜和佐拉绊倒了。 雷鼓现在毫无防备地躺在地上。 哈娜迅速扑下来抓住了它。 她来得正是时候!混乱的小生物在刚才鼓所在的地方到处乱窜。

"Nice work, Hana!" cheered Mina, grabbing the Thunder Maker as she and Zora whooshed into the air after Hana. The Chaos Critters let out high-pitched screeches of anger. They surged up the trees, trying to reach Hana as she flew back into the air. Some leapt off the trees and landed on her. Hana shivered as she felt the critters' tiny sharp claws on her scales. But she kept calm. She did a quick somersault in the air, and the critters squawked as they streamed off her back. The Storm Dragons whipped their way through the treetops. Hana thought they'd escape quickly, but the Chaos Critters were surprisingly fast. They streaked along just behind the Dragon Girls, surging up trees and jumping easily from one to the next. With their gleaming claws and high-pitched squeaking, they were truly horrible. "We've got to get away from them!" Hana called. "Top speed, everyone."

“干得好，哈娜!”米娜欢呼着，抓住造雷机，她和卓拉跟着哈娜飞向空中。 混沌生物发出愤怒的尖声尖叫。 他们冲上树林，试图在哈娜飞回空中时接近她。 一些从树上跳下来落在她身上。 当哈娜感觉到这些小动物锋利的小爪子在她的鳞片上时，她打了个寒颤。 但她保持冷静。她在空中快速翻了个跟头，小动物们纷纷从她背上跑下来，发出吱吱的叫声。 暴风龙猛冲过树梢。 哈娜以为他们会很快逃走，但混乱生物的速度快得惊人。 他们跟在龙女后面飞快地跑着，跃上树，轻松地从一棵跳到另一棵。 它们的爪子闪闪发光，叫声尖利，真是可怕极了。 “我们必须离开他们!”韩亚金融集团。 “全速前进，各位。”

The Dragon Girls shot ahead, trying to lose the critters. But they stayed close behind—no matter how fast the girls flew or how many turns they made. Hana's heart pounded with the effort. The Thunder Maker was still not complete. They needed to get away from these pesky critters so they could put the new drum into the machine and get it working again. A worry circled Hana's mind. Would they be able do it? She pushed the thought aside. They had to! The fierce wind picked up leaves and dust, flinging them into the dragons' eyes. Even worse, the wind seemed to be pushing along the Chaos Critters, making them go faster. Hana gritted her teeth. They had to get away from the chaos. As she ducked beneath a low-hanging branch, she felt something land on her back. It was too

龙女们冲在前面，试图甩掉那些怪物。 但不管女孩们飞得多快，也不管她们转了多少圈，她们都紧紧地跟在后面。 哈娜的心怦怦直跳。 造雷器还没有完成。 他们需要远离这些讨厌的生物，这样他们才能把新鼓放进机器里，让它重新工作。 哈娜的心头萦绕着忧虑。 他们能做到吗?她把这个念头放在一边。 他们必须这么做!狂风卷起树叶和尘土，把它们扔进龙的眼睛里。 更糟糕的是，风似乎在推动着混沌生物，使它们飞得更快。 哈娜咬紧牙关。他们必须逃离混乱。 当她在一根低垂的树枝下蹲下时，她感到有什么东西落在了她的背上。 它太。

heavy to be a Chaos Critter. Looking over her shoulder, Hana was relieved to see Beebi! "Go above the tree line," the little bear urged. "The critters can't reach you up there." "Higher!" Hana called quickly to her twin and cousin. Flapping hard, she headed upward. She could hear Mina and Zora right behind her—but she could also hear the Chaos Critters scuttling up the trees. She really hoped that these beasties hadn't learned how to fly! Hana surged through the leafy canopy and into the forest air. The Chaos Critters clustered on the topmost branches, waving their claws in fury. They shrieked with frustration. They could go no farther. But it was not time to celebrate yet. The Storm Dragons had flown directly into the middle of a storm cloud! Thunder crashed all around. It was so loud that Hana felt a wave of sound slam against her, pushing her sideways.

作为一个混沌生物是很重的。 扭头一看，汉娜看到比比，松了一口气!“越过林木线，”小熊催促道。 “那里的动物抓不到你。” “高!”哈娜赶紧叫她的双胞胎和表妹。 她使劲拍打着翅膀向上飞。 她能听到米娜和佐拉就在她身后——但她也能听到混沌小动物们飞快地爬上树林。 她真希望这些畜生没有学会飞行!哈娜穿过茂密的树冠，进入森林的空气中。 混沌生物聚集在树枝的最上面，愤怒地挥舞着爪子。 他们沮丧地尖叫起来。 他们不能再往前走了。但现在还不是庆祝的时候。 暴风龙直接飞进了暴风云的中央!雷声四起。 声音太大了，哈娜觉得有一股声音向她袭来，把她推到一边。

"Hold on tight, Beebi," she called. She began to spin, tail over snout, through the dark clouds. The thunder rolled again. This time it sounded like it was sneering at her! "Hana, you've dropped the Thunder Drum!" cried Mina, still clutching the Thunder Maker. Through the swirling gray cloud, Hana saw the Thunder Drum tumbling down. "I'll get it!" yelled Zora, diving after the precious object. But the thunder exploded again, sending Zora spinning off in the wrong direction. Hana gasped. If the drum fell to earth, it would surely break or be destroyed by critters. And it would be all her fault! Hana flapped her wings with all her might, but the wind and thunder forced her back. Determination rumbled in her belly. Nothing was going to stop them completing this important mission!

“抓紧了，比比。”她喊道。 她开始旋转，尾巴盖在鼻子上，穿过乌云。 雷声又响了。这一次听起来像是在嘲笑她!“哈娜，你把雷鼓弄掉了!”米娜叫道，手里还抓着造雷器。 透过旋转的灰色云层，哈娜看到了雷声鼓翻滚下来。 “我去拿!”佐拉喊道，扑向那珍贵的东西。 但是雷声又响了，把佐拉甩向了错误的方向。 刘荷娜喘着粗气。如果鼓掉到地上，它肯定会破裂或被动物破坏。 这都是她的错!哈娜用尽全力拍打着翅膀，但风和雷迫使她后退。 决心在她的肚子里隆隆作响。 没有什么能阻止他们完成这项重要的任务!

A roar exploded from her, far louder than any roar she'd done before. All her life Hana had been told to keep her voice down. To use her indoor voice. Finally, Hana's outdoor voice was needed. And it felt great! The next time there was a clap of thunder, Hana felt it bounce right off her.

她发出一声怒吼，比她以前发出的任何怒吼都要响亮得多。 哈娜一生都被告知要小声说话。 用她的室内声音。最后，需要汉娜的户外声音。 感觉很棒!下一次打雷的时候，哈娜觉得雷声正好从她身上弹了回来。
