Chapter 8

Return of the Dead

 

"Raziel," said Ryoga. "We're going to need a distraction while the rest of us try to get Gohan out of there. See if you can find some kind of high perch where you can create a diversion."

Raziel nodded and left immediately to find an area that suited his needs.

After he left, Ryoga told everyone else of his plan. "While Raziel distracts the dragon, the rest of us will go down there in our cloaks of invisibility and try to get Gohan out. I have an extra cloak. That's what we'll use to sneak Gohan out with." He looked around at everyone. "All right, put your cloaks on and let's go."

Everyone proceeded to place their cloaks on and followed Ryoga into the dragon's lair. Sitting in a corner was a tired looking Gohan.

Ryoga mind spoke with Raziel. Okay Raziel, now!

As if on cue, arrows came flying from a perch high above in the monstrous cavern and descended towards the large beast of five heads. Everyone following Ryoga proceeded straight to Gohan, who was immediately covered by the cloak supplied by Ryoga.

Meanwhile, the arrows bounced off of the monster's thick scaly hide. The beast awoke, annoyed at whomever it was that was trying to attack it. It simply followed the trail of arrows back to its source, reared all five heads, and fired five monstrous fireballs at its point of origin. There was a yell and a body plummetted towards the steaming earth.

The group had successfully gotten Gohan to the outer cave when an ear shattering earthquake suddenly erupted. It seemed as if the cave was sinking into the ground.

They all made a hasty retreat out of the mouth of the cave. Everyone removed their cloaks of invisibility after they had successfully escaped the sinking cavern. They all watched as the ground moaned as the cave disappeared into the earth. The fires and the heat left as well.

"I thought I'd never get out of there," said Gohan.

Charjer gave him a pat on the back. "Good to have you back with the world of the living."

Everyone grunted in agreement and made their way back to the floating island.
