“Rex!” Tim shouts as he pulls a leveler while pushing another. His feet shift the pedals to balance the maneuver; the Raptor twists around flying icebergs. The glowing feathers of the Spirit-Overlay nearly clipped the impossibly giant pieces of ice caught in the StormWall’s winds. “Wingling!” Tim calls over the comms as he inverts the ship into a dive along a falling ice pillar.

“Wingling flock is gone, captain!” Rex replies with haste over comms as Tim’s body bursts out in a bright blue and green light. “Spells are set, Raptor is set, all green, captain!” Rex’s bird form grew to overlay itself onto his pilot. “Sync is go!” Rex’s green form began taking on the blue light from Tim.

“Sync is go!” Tim replies while releasing the controls as the Raptor begins a steep climb up a large, spiky mountainside. The green glow of its Spirit-Overlay burns brighter as the surrounding ice reflects the ethereal gleam. As the Raptor crests the icy obstacle, the metallic frame of the ship burns with a blue flame.

“Spirit-Overlay is filled. Spirit Sync complete!” Rex reports as the mechanical controls retreat into the walls of the ship. Flashes of complex lines, shapes, and designs flare to magical life. A holographic overlay of the Raptor forms over him.

“Let’s fly.” Tim says while straining his arms to fold into his chest. The wings of the Raptor followed his commands, and the bright blue body of the ship bent the wings to match. Its climb came to a halt before gravity and high winds made the airship plummet back down. A thunderous clap of ice shattering above the Raptor caught the two’s attention.

“Rex?!” Tim yells out while twisting his body into a dive before angling his wings to catch a tailwind level out and speeding away from what caused that sound.

“Big, black snake!” Rex yelps as a shadowy figure swims through the flying ice in our direction. “I think it's hungry!” He yells as two red eyes burn brightly within a sizeable moving shadow.

“Fuck!” Tim screams out as he uses the Raptor’s talons to grab hold of a large ice chunk, which spins enough to change their course. “AH!” He kicks off the ice while casting a spell behind the Raptor.

“It swallowed the ice chunk!” Rex shouts out as Tim navigates a dangerous debris field.

“Do it!” Tim cries out as the Raptor threads the needle between two colliding icebergs.

“Boom!” Rex roars out as a magic circle breaks within the cockpit.

A loud explosion shatters the icebergs behind the Raptor. The black snake’s head pierces through the center of the icy masses, its eyes blazing a hateful crimson. The obsidian scales start to crackle with a light violet spark—blue, white, and purple streaks of lighting arc along its slowly opening maw.

“That’s not a fucking snake!” Tim curses as he redoubles his efforts to outrun this monster.

“D-da-Dragon…” Rex stammers in fear and awe at the mighty legendary beast.

The dark storm dragon’s mouth shows its powerful glinting fangs as lightning dances between them. The energies of the storms are drawn to the beast, and wild lightning destroys the surrounding icy debris to get to the dragon’s shining scales. A sphere of pure white with deep purple outlining it formed within its fully open maw.

“Rex! Spells! Now!” Tim shouts at the dazed spirit, staring at the powering up deathray.

“Aye, captain!” Rex snaps out of it. “Releasing!” He shouts as the cabin fills with colorful glows from myriad magical circles.

“I hope this works!” Tim yells out while giving a holo map one last glance before dismissing it. “Full Protection!” He calls out while starting another dive toward a giant ice pillar.

“Protected!” Rex broke a circle as a magical spell glowed around everyone's bodies on the Raptor. “Decoys charged, camo set!” He calls as a few more circles shatter. The body of the Raptor takes on a more hazy gleam as it nears the icy pillar.

“Tether!” Tim yells as the tether launches at the ice collum. “Rex!” Tim screams out as he pulls the wings closer to the body.

“Decoys out!” Rex calls out as one decoy raptor flies straight. The rope catches and pulls the Raptor around, and another decoy is launched at an angle while the final decoy heads off to the right of the ice pillar. “Camo!” Rex yells as the Raptor disappears from physical sight.

“Tether!” Tim calls for the release, and the Raptor heads off towards the left from the pillar. He keeps the ship motionless; any movement will disable the camo spell.

“Oh shit.” Rex quietly speaks as the dark stormy world lights up brighter than the noontime sun. The dragon’s snaky maw unleashes a beam of raw plasma energy from the orb it was charging. The attack cut through everything in its path.

The dragon’s beam obliterates the first decoy but does not stop. The beast turns its angry gaze toward the other, fleeing tiny insects before it. The energy beam slices across the sky, cleaving the storm as it travels. The dragon closes its maw once the last annoyance is gone. A victorious roar rides the winds as the StormWall heals the battle damage.

“Build the booster, now!” Tim opens the wings to catch a gust of wind as their camo comes undone. The engines blast off at maximum output as their bright glowing overlay is visible again. The roaring stops as the Raptor heads into a sea of twisting wind vortexes. “We can’t hide anymore!” Tim shouts as they enter a current of rushing air that doubles their current speed.

“Boosters charging! 30 seconds!” Rex yells back as a group of magical circles shift into different shapes. The magical pieces of different spells were shifted, reshaped, and refitted into what they had worked on for the past decade. “Turbo?” Rex asks as the last part has not yet been implemented.

“Dual!” Tim shouts as he struggles to navigate the winding and shifting extreme wind currents. He saw how a large chunk of ice hit one of the twisters, only for it to be shredded into fine snow. “Shit…” He mutters as he begins to taste blood in his mouth; time is running out.

“Damn…” Rex grunts as he restructures the last piece before fitting into the new spell design. “Got it!” Rex activates it, and the spell structure sinks into the hull of the Raptor as the Spirit Coils accept it. “Boosters ready!” Rex calls out as an angry dragon roars close behind the ship.

“Bastard found us!” Tim yells as his fingers flicker about, readying the booter spell while dodging twisters with razor-sharp winds.

“Turbo ready!” Rex yells out as the cockpit turns a bright teal with pulsing green waves. “Shields max! Life secure spell set!” Rex breaks the remaining circles all at once. The spells encase the passengers’ cabin as they activate the special magical enchantments.

“Spirit Core status?!” Tim yells as he pulls up a feed to see behind the Raptor. The dragon is rapidly slithering through the razor wind twisters as if it were simple blades of grass. Bright, purplish lightning was arcing from its obsidian scales as it moved through the air. A pair of slender horns held a lightning bolt atop its head, yet it grew more prominent as the snake slithered on.

“Secure, and I’m on it!” Rex replied over Tim’s comm. “You better be right about this!” He yells before the link is cut.

“We’ll see about that.” Tim chuckles as the cabin shrinks in size around him. “Your spells better work, Lewin.” He smiles as the Booster spell activates.
