One of the pool players briefly made eye contact with The Master. He was temporarily surprised to see The Master awake, but he certainly didn't dwell on it. Suddenly, one of the iron doors (the northern one) opened. Five figures entered the room. "Ah, you must be... erm... 'The Master,'" growled one of them. "The Five Fingered Alliance is looking for you." The man... polar bear? Mutant Polar Bear? Polar man...? The Polar Bear Mutant was accompanied by three wolf mutants and a tiger mutant, all wearing leather jackets. The mutant polar bear pulled out a club. "How about we... step outside for a moment?" he grinned. --------------------------------------------------------------- "Put the gun down," said Larry, not phased by Jesper's offer. Debra saw the gun and, full of nerves, promptly threw up. When she leaned over to vomit, she pulled a blanket off of three cages that were stacked on top of each other. The flew open! Revealing... no dragons? The cages were empty. Ronald gasped. "What on earth?" said Ronald, "where-" "No!" shouted Larry. "Now!" rasped a different voice, which sounded more like a dragon. The ceiling erupted. Twenty dragons ranging from the size of small dogs to small horses flew around their heads. Magical breaths poured out of dragon's mouths. A purple mist filled the air and Debra passed out. Larry breathed it in as well, and became unconscious. The dragons didn't seem to be sticking to the same plan. Five of the dragons flew up the stairs. The largest dragon, a muscular, golden dragon with brilliant green eyes and a simple, emerald colored dragon flew towards William. They were intercepted by a light purple dragon. Four dragons headed straight towards Ronald, who was being cornered quickly. Two black dragons with white stripes on their scales and long tails landed next to William. They had small wings and stood on their hind legs and were only a head shorter than him. One was spewing the purple mist through the air (which was approaching Jesper and William) and three small but stereotypical dragons approached Jesper with his strapped on machine gun (fine, fine, you can have your strap. Gosh, so needy. I kid). One of them shot a beam of ice towards Jesper. It missed and hit a cage behind him, solidifying it. Finally, two dragons with blinding white scales went straight towards Emily (who was still unconscious) and begin flying towards the exit with her.
