13 Battle of the Orbs

CHAPTER 13 BATTLE OF THE ORBS The red balls of light darted around the room like angry bees. Zap! One of the orbs shot a beam of dark energy at a Raven Guard. It knocked down the guard. One of the orbs zoomed right at Drake. Worm's eyes glowed.

Boom! The orb exploded. Another red ball zoomed toward Bo. Bam! The orb burst. Worm had used the power of his mind to destroy them. Blast! Shu tried hitting one of the glowing balls with a jet of water. But the water bounced off it. Around them, the Raven Guards were jumping and dodging. One swung a fighting stick at an orb. But like Shu's water, it didn't harm it at all.

Suddenly, the orbs grouped together. They zoomed all at once toward the dragons. Drake gripped Worm's saddle.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Worm blasted them with his green light, and they exploded. Then the room became quiet. Drake looked around. Worm had destroyed all of the orbs! "Good job, Worm," he said, patting Worm's neck.

Emperor Song stepped forward. "You and your dragons have saved us again," he said. "I thank you. And Bo, I will tell your family of your bravery here today." "Thank you, Emperor. Now I must return to Bracken. The dragons need me," said Bo. "But please tell my family that I will try to come see them soon." "I will," said the emperor. "And I am sorry for what I have put them through. I will make it up to them." Bo thanked the emperor. He and Shu both touched Worm.

"Good-bye, Bo," said the emperor. "You have made your kingdom proud." "Let's go home, Worm," Drake said. They left Emperor Song's kingdom behind them in a flash of green light.
