Maya gripped the the pendant dangling from her neck, “Dragon pendant around my neck, shall grant me the power of a dragon form with wings, a tail and scaled feet of golden hide. Magicks of earth, air, fire and water open to me. My view shall be ever changed, from mortal to dragon, TAKEAL.”

At that moment blue flares flew out of the necklace. One flare flew directly above her head. Another flew under her feet as she levitated off the ground. The other went to her north, south, east, and west. They connected each other with glowing blue lines. The rest of the open area filled in concealing her in a floating blue egg. Hades pointed his scepter at the blue egg, the fire flew out of the end of it. The fire hit the egg and it split on contact, the egg was unharmed and the fire was being bent around it. The fire stopped rushing out of Hades scepter. The eggs disappeared, Maya was nowhere to be seen. All they could see was a beautiful young lady looking to be in her late teens or early twenties. Her skin was a dark blue with stars as if it was the night sky. She had long white hair and a long white dress. Translucent dragon wings were set where her shoulder blades were. She floated off of the ground, flapping her wings lightly to keep at that point of levitation.

“Come at me now Hades.” She said.

Hades ran at her holding his scepter out as if to stab her. She lightly moved her hand in a swiping motion across her body. Hades shot backwards off balance, he landed on his feet and regained his balance.

“How dare you challenge a god!” Hades said angrily.

“I am more powerful than you will ever be.” She said in a deep female voice.

Hades pointed his scepter at her and shot once more.

“I am done with your child's play.” She said as she waved a dismissive hand and the fire evaporated.

“WHAT!” Hades yelled.

“YOU ARE A SAD EXCUSE FOR A GOD, LET ME SHOW YOU TRUE POWER.” She yelled.

She Raised her hand over her head spreading it till it was flat.

“Dragons, lend me your powers! Fire, from the depths of hell! Water, from the raging oceans! Air, from the heart of Barrow Island! Earth, from the bedrock of earth itself!” She chanted.

As she said this a water, fire, air, and earth all formed into a compact sphere in her palm, four dragons stood around the half human half dragon girl. Nick woke up, his vision was slightly blurry and he had a headache. He felt the wind whipping around the room, he regained his sight and got a good look around. Hades watched the half human half dragon girl with the orb of the elements in her palm above her head. Nick recognized two of the four dragons standing around the girl. He knew that the were Maya’s dragons, but he had never seen the other two. One seemed to be made of earth with moss growing everywhere on it’s body, it had trees growing out of the top of it’s head like hair. It’s wings had earth where the bones were on the wings, in between the bones there was a green substance making up the rest of the wings. The other had a tail unlike the others, the tail was long and thin and had and it looked like it would be good as a flipper or tail of a fish. This dragon had no wings but had a bright blue light going down its spine. The dragons flew at Hades breathing fire, scalding water, fragments of earth, and a strong wind. Hades was Knocked to the ground with cuts and burns all over his body. Before he could get up the dragon girl was already plunging the sphere into his stomach. Hades body shattered on contact. A loud shriek of pain shot through the room. Hades formed again completely unconscious even more cuts and burns. The dragon girl turned to Nick.

“Are you my next enemy?” She asked.

“NO! I am a good guy.” Nick said.

“Maya you know him.” Rose said.

The dragon girl turned to her. “Maya is gone, Tanit is who stands in front of you.”

“Wait that is Maya?” Nick asked Rose.

“No, I am Tanit!” Tanit answered.

“I wasn’t asking you.” Nick said.

“I WILL KILL YOU!” Tanit said.

“Won’t be my first time.” Nick said.

Tanit jumped into the air flapping her wings hard to fly even higher. She took a deep breath and blew out fire everywhere. Nick dodges to the right, he ran up the wall up to where Tanit was flying and jumped. He landed on her back clutching to her immediately after landing on her. Tanit tried grabbing him but he was in such a position where she couldn’t get a grip.

“Get off me you pest!” She said.

“Maya if you can hear me, you are stronger than her, take control!” Nick said.

“She can’t hear you!” She said.

Tanit finally got a grip on Nick and pulled him off. She threw him straight down he smashed into the ground making a crater. Nick started to get up but before he could Tanit made a diving punch shoving Nick further into the ground and knocking Rose and Persephone off of their feet.

“GIVE ME CONTROL!” Maya’s voice yelled.

“What how are you doing this!” Tanit screeched.

“I AM YOUR MASTER!” Maya’s voice boomed.

“I am able to use more power than you in this form.” Tanit said.

“YOU ARE HURTING MY FRIENDS.” Maya yelled.

“NOOOO…” Tanit yelled.

Nick opened his eyes and leaned over in pain to see Maya laying down on the ground sweating and breathing hard. Rose cautiously leaned over the side of the crater to take a look.

“Is... it... over...” Maya said taking breaths in between each word.

“Yeah but I have no idea how we are going to get back for a while.” Nick said.

“Can’t you just run us to a dimension?” Maya said.

“Maybe but it would hurt, Tanit sure did a number on me.” Nick said.

“Can you stand?” Maya asked.

“I can try.” Nick said.

Nick slowly got up trying to not hurt anything, then he jogged in place for a few seconds.

“Yeah I could probably do it.” Nick said.

“Ok go get Rose and Sophia wherever she is.” Maya said as she got back onto her feet.

Nick dashed off and came back a few seconds later with Rose and Sophia.

“Climb on.” Nick said.

Maya climbed on his back just as she had the first time.

“Ready?” Nick asked.

“Yeah.” Everyone said as Nick sped off.
