11 The Red Dragon Stone!

CHAPTER 11 THE RED DRAGON STONE! The hydra aimed all four heads at Drake and Rori. The poison will hit us! Drake thought. It melted stone! He shivered.

Suddenly, a bright, white light filled the air. Drake had to shield his eyes. He could hear the hydra squealing. The light faded, and Drake looked up. Ana and Kepri swooped down from the sky! Kepri was shining a sunbeam on the hydra. The four-headed dragon thrashed around, confused. The poison tornadoes shot sharply to the left, missing Drake and Rori. Maldred lost his hold on the reins and scrambled to grab them.

Poof! Diego appeared on the tower. "Diego! You did it!" Drake said happily. "We came as fast as we could!" Diego said. Then Shu swept in, carrying Bo and Griffith. She flew to the tower and Griffith jumped off to join Diego. Shu can cure dark magic spells! Drake remembered. She cured Emperor Song back in Bo's kingdom. "Bo, Maldred used dark magic on Vulcan!" Drake yelled. "Shu can heal him!"

Bo nodded and steered Shu down to Vulcan. The hydra was still squirming under the light of Kepri's sunbeam. Maldred struggled to control her. He couldn't stop Shu. Bo whispered in Shu's ear. A misty blue cloud floated from her mouth. Then a light blue mist rained down on Vulcan's head. iohlik. The mist shimmered in the air.

When the mist settled, Vulcan began to flap his wings. "Vulcan, you're okay!" Rori cried. Over on the tower, Diego and Griffith faced each other. Lightning shot from their fingertips, and a ball of blue energy began to form between them. "We can defeat Maldred, but we need time!" Griffith called up to the Dragon Masters. "Don't let him get away!" added Diego.

Maldred grabbed one of the reins. With his other hand, he shot a red beam at Kepri. Ana steered Kepri away, and the attack missed. But her sunbeam stopped, and the hydra started to calm down. Maldred held up the red stone. "Rori, can you steer Vulcan next to the hydra?" Drake asked. "If we can destroy the red Dragon Stone, I think Worm and the hydra will be back to normal!"
