11 Ch11-A Giant Problem

CHAPTER 11 AGIANT PROBLEM That's the statue from the city entrance!" Drake cried. "Only, it's enormous and alive!" "The magic from the battle has done this," Griffith said. "Jayana and I need to stop the battle before the magic causes more problems. Dragon Masters, use your dragons to stop the statue! Then hurry into the arena with the crystal!"

Griffith and Jayana ran into the arena. Drake and Petra stared up at the giant stomping toward them. It carried a stone sword and shield. The ground rumbled as it walked. The stone street cracked under its huge, heavy feet.

How are we supposed to stop that? Drake wondered. "Drake, didn't you say Worm could break up rocks, like Sono can?" Tessa asked. "That's right!" Drake said. "But I'm not sure if his mind powers are strong enough to break a magical stone man!" His Dragon Stone glowed. I can try, Worm said. "Maybe Sono can add her powers to Worm's," Tessa said. "First, we need to get the statue away from the townspeople before we attack it." "Zera and I can handle that," Petra said. Her face was pale, but her voice was brave. "Then let's stop this statue!" Tessa cried. Petra jumped onto Zera's back. "Zera, fly!"

The hydra launched into the air. She flew up, up, up to the giant's face. "Over here, giant!" Petra yelled. "Bet you can't catch us!" The statue followed Petra and Zera, turning away from the city and stomping toward the fields. Drake and Tessa chased after it with their dragons. "As soon as we reach the fields, I'll tell Worm to attack!" Drake called out.

"And when he does, Sono will join in!" Tessa called back. The statue followed Zera and Petra all the way to the fields. When they got there, Zera flew around the giant's head. The statue began to move in a circle, confused.

Petra and Zera flew away. "Worm, now!" Drake yelled. A green light swept from the top of Worm's body to the end of his tail. It grew brighter and brighter. Worm closed his eyes. Worm's green light snaked up the statue's legs, making cracks in the stone.
