"Yes, I am nuts. And based on my experience, the crazier the plan, the better our chances to catch the enemy by surprise and thus achieve our objectives. Thankfully, what I am definitely not is, suicidal. So rest assured that my crazy plan has but one objective - our survival!" Bruce Pang said firmly.

"Chronos will distract the enemy by going to the old man's rescue. With Chronos, his chances of survival would increase manifold and will also serve to attract the enemy's attention.

Once the old man has made a sufficiently large ruckus, we will sneak into the blue dragon's private portal and get the hell out of this place.

G-Drake, where will this third portal lead us?" My big bro asked him.

"I have no idea. I've only been through it once when I was very young, and I do not know where we appeared. But that part of the ocean felt particularly vibrant and calm. It might be somewhere pretty far away from the other two portals' entrance." G-Drake answered.

"Good enough. Let's go!" Bruce Pang said.

And with that, Chronos disappeared from sight.

I had no idea how Bruce Pang intended to send Chronos to the old man, but he managed to pull it off perfectly.

Within five minutes, the ruckus he was expecting occurred.

Kaboooommmm..

Graaaaahhh. Graaaahh. Graaahhh.

Kaboooooooommmm..

Kabooooommm!!! Kaboooommm!!

Graaaaahhhh!!

Whatever was happening at wherever Chronos and the old man were, it sounded supremely messy and chaotic.

It was perfect.

We set off soon after towards the blue dragon king's private chamber.

"This is actually a pretty good plan." I commented to my big bro as we traversed the massive plains rather peacefully.

We were flying fast and low, with G-Drake's body rustling the occassional tall weeds.

"Hush. Don't jinx it." Bruce Pang frowned at me.

"Alright, alright." I conceded and cast my resonance out to study the situation around us.

As before, I was rather surprised at the presence of various seemingly powerful resonance signatures around us but not being able to see any of them.

"Where are all these machines that I am sensing?" I asked G-Drake curiously.

"You are sensing our invisible sentinel defenders, master. They are littered everywhere in the grasslands, and would activate only upon my father or mother's explicit command. I have never seen any of them before in my entire life." G-Drake admitted.

"I see. So they are not invisible dragon biomechs just milling around huh?" I asked G-Drake.

"Well, sometimes-"

GRAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Damn me and my loud mouth.

I had barely posed the question when a loud roar of surprise sounded from somewhere near us!

"Third Prince! Is that you? What happened to you!!" A draconic voice bellowed.

"Damn." Bruce Pang cursed softly.

"The pod is completely stealthed and built into G-Drake's armor. We should be safe." I reassured my big bro. "But our secret trip to the private chamber isn't going to be a secret for much longer."

"We must get to the chamber as quickly as possible." Bruce Pang said seriously.

"No choice then. G-Drake, kill that dragon and let's go. Get to the private chambers as quickly as you can!" I ordered.

Without hesitation, G-Drake exploded with a massive amount of power and charged towards the now-visible blue dragon at an incredible rate of acceleration.

The blue dragon warrior had unicorn horns and was around a hundred meters in size. It was a young adult blue dragon.

"Third Prince!! What has gotten into you? Wake up!" The blue dragon roared loudly as a shimmering, bluish barrier appeared in front of it, mere seconds before G-Drake crashed into him!

BAM!!!

STAB STAB STAB STAB BITE!

RIPPPP!!!!!!

In a display of unparalleled ferocity, G-Drake bunched all four of his claws together and easily broke through the bluish barrier.

Its four clawed limbs pierced into the body of the shocked blue dragon warrior and its relatively smaller head bit the warrior's neck.

And then very viciously, G-Drake pulled its claws and flung its neck powerfully to the side, causing the blue dragon warrior to be ripped apart!

Gore!

Ruthlesness!

Sheer power!!

Without missing a beat, G-Drake accelerated towards his father's private chambers once more.

This time, all attempts at doing it secretly were discarded, and we blasted off at full speed.

Vrooooo!!!!

GRAAAHHHH!!! GRAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Two more ferocious roars sounded from two different directions as soon as we broke the sound barrier.

"Ignore them. Go to the chamber." Bruce Pang ordered.

VROOOOOO!!!historical

G-Drake directed more power to its flight module and we leapt ahead with even greater speed than before!!

On our left and right, I could detect two powerful energy signatures approaching us at high speed.

In terms of power, they were both below the blue dragon king, and by a relatively large margin.

However, together, they were able to bring forth a level of power that was neared their glorious king!

"Who are they?" I asked.

"They are father's personal guards. We have entered his personal territory. They will attack all who enters without permission." G-Drake replied.

"Not a good enemy to tangle with right now. But you should still be able to handle them. Thankfully there are only two personal guards. I doubt you would be able to handle three. My mods are strong, but not that strong." I said.

"My father has five personal guards." G-Drake corrected me. "Two are with him at all times. Usually, there are three guarding his territory. The third one must be with him now."

However, a ridiculously massive energy beam suddenly appeared from diagonally right in front of us!

"Or not!!" I yelled as G-Drake unleashed his side thruster bombs to rapidly throw his body to the left to avoid the energy beam!

Whoosh!!

The surprise attack missed us by mere centimeters!!

"Attack the third one first!!! Go!" I shouted as my instincts kicked in.

In every fight, I would always try to take out the strongest one early on if at all possible. Allowing the fight to drag out without taking out their strongest fighter would only serve to seal my defeat later!
