Taylor slept and woke up at sunrise. He noticed the others were still sleeping . He decided to close his eyes again for now.

Alex finally woke up and noticed that Jean had fallen asleep next to him. He also figured out that she was using his arm as a pillow after he tried moving. Sighing lightly, he closed his eyes after realizing that it was still early in the morning and getting a few more minutes of sleep.

Tracy had slept fitfully, but didn't want to wake up yet. She would get up once the others did.

Jean opened her eyes as the sun's rays hit her eyes, causing the martial artist to move her hand in front of her eyes. She then saw Alex sleeping next to her and blushed. Quickly beating it down, she jumped to the other side of Angelus as she heard Alex starting to wake up.

Taylor heard movement and sat up . He stretched his arms and tried to wake up a little bit before checking on Sora.

Alex woke up after he heard someone jump on the other side. Assuming that it was Jean, he blushed at the thought of her sleeping that close to him, embarrassment and surprise tinging his cheeks a light pink. Fighting those thoughts off, he turned to everyone and saw that they were just starting to wake up.

Tracy woke up once the others did and stretched. She hoped that today would work out the way Alex had it planned.

After Alex got ready and Jean went back into her Bishiball, he turned around towards the others as Angelus sat up. "Is everyone ready?" he asked, waiting for their responses.

Taylor and Tracy said they were both ready for today. Taylor hoped they would find the trainers and hoped Michael was still there . He would do what he could to help with the plan.

Carly nodded as well and handed her the ball containing Max within it when Alex asked for them, knowing that he wouldn't use or have Max get hurt.

"Alright. I hate to ask this, but please hand me your Bishiballs," Alex said.

Taylor handed the Bishie ball that had Sora in it . Tracy did the same and handed over her Bishie balls.

Alex nodded. "Alright then, Tracy...I need you next to me. They'll recognize you the easiest then Carly next to Tracy and Taylor next to me. Angelus, can you show us what you have in mind for the magical bindings and how they'll connect to me so we won't be surprised at the gates?" Alex asked as Angelus nodded.

Tracy got next to Alex and Taylor got next to Carly .

Angelus showed them the magical collars that would appear around their necks, while each collar had a small thread that led straight to Alex's heart, causing him to raise an eyebrow.

"Do not worry Alex. It is only for show if you remember..." she said, causing Alex to shake his head before they all vanished.

"I should have nicknamed you drama queen," Alex quirked before he had to dodge one of her fireballs. "Alright, jeez, I was only joking," Alex said before turning to the others. "Let's get going"

Taylor walked with the others toward the city gates. He knew this idea would work. He just hoped they all could get out of the town if things got bad.

One of the Gate's guards saw Alex and his group "Halt! Who are you?" He asked as he waited for an answer.

"I'm a Dragon Trainer, and I heard about this town from Bryce. I was hoping to settle down here for a little while," Alex said, keeping his voice calm while he talked to the guard.

" Are those prisoners?" Another guard asked. He recognized one of them as a former gym worker. He knew Bryce would glad to knowthe girl was found.

Alex noticed the other guard looking at Tracy as he asked the question. "Yes, they are prisoners. I'm sure you recognize the girl next to me as Tracy Belmont. I heard that she was snooping around before leaving town and thought I'd bring her back for you," he said as he noticed the guards grinning lightly in lust since they didn't see any dragon.

" That's wonderful that you found her. Would you like us to tell Bryce you are coming to turn her in? "

"If you don't mind, I would like to take her to him myself," Alex said, glad that they believed him. He was also glad that Angelus was walking next to him, even though he knew she hated walking and would rather fly.

" That would be alright . Bryce loves surprises like this. " The guard said as he let Alex inside.

Alex smiled lightly at what the guards said, If only he knew what type of surprise... he thought before his eyes saw Tracy shivering. He assumed it was fear that made her shiver, especially since she was back in the one place that she just fled from only a few days ago. Placing a hand on her shoulder lightly.

"Relax, I won't let anything happen to any of you. Now then Tracy, can you lead me to the gym?" He said and asked once they were away from the guard's ears. He knew it was risky saying that in the open, but he could tell that she was deathly afraid of being back here and needed some type of reassurance.

Tracy was terrified to be here. " Okay I can lead you. " She went down the main street then turned down a side street. " It's about a mile down this way. " She said.

"Thanks Tracy," he said as he led the team to where the gym was. He had to whistle lightly...this gym was impressive although he expected that those dragon skulls were once attached to real dragons. It angered him, especially since this looked more like a castle rather than a simple gym. "I hate to say this, but bastard or not the guy knows how to decorate a building."

" He does. I hate the fact he unburied the bodies from the dragon cemetery . This town has a long and good history with dragons." Tracy said.
