Last-second rescue

Episode 5: Rescue at the last second

Egoran rushed madly towards the dragon, which had not been wounded until then, rounded his defense and hit the dragon full on the body with his right fist. It was obvious that the dragon could not withstand this attack without major damage, because Egoran was not only incredibly strong, but also incredibly fast. His enormous jumping ability allowed him to strike a little higher the second time. The dragon was about to be knocked out, because he could not take the two hits from Egoran that were optimally hit. Egoran sat down briefly on the floor and you could see that he also had to invest a lot of strength. So Egoran got up and tried to end the fight, but suddenly he turned back into Yoshta. <You had too little strength to hold the fusion> explained the sword <But you probably already know that>.

The dragon, which had not yet fully recovered from the extremely hard blows, straightened up and slowly trudged onto Yoshta, who had no strength left to flee. The dragon stood directly in front of Yoshta and the sword and let out a breath of fire. Suddenly, out of the blue, Zaubus, the magician Yoshta had got to know better in the forest, intervened. With the help of his overwhelming magical power, Zaubus managed to build a protective shield that saved Yoshta from certain death. When the fiery breath went out, Zaubus said the magic words with which he made Yoshta's exhaustion disappear. Yoshta rose and transformed again. Since the dragon was still very weak, Egoran seized the opportunity and hit the dragon so hard with his steel fist that it fell motionless to the ground. He was dead instantly.

The villagers streamed out of their homes and cheered their hero. A crowd full of beaming faces formed in front of Yoshta.Directly in front of him was the man whom Yoshta had already seen in the grocery store. <Thank you very much> he said <I hereby hand over to you, in the name of our city, the 1000 guldos that are on the kite's head. You also get the Johto card for free>. Now Yoshta was beaming too, although the exhaustion was clearly written on his face. Beside him stood Zaubus, who was not so happy, however. He said thoughtfully <Yoshta, I watched your fight with the dragon and unfortunately I have to tell you clearly that in this physical condition you would not be a serious threat to Chico. Know that Chicos is a superman who can move objects with sheer willpower. I also believe that there are several thousand soldiers in Salotte who are trying to stop you. But don't worry, I know a mountain hermit who lives near forest town. He is an old friend of mine and I am sure that he will train you. He can help you keep your fusion going much longer. Finally, I would like to give you a tip: There are definitely more people in Johto who think like you. Try to find such people and encourage them to accompany you. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with this, as I will try to bring order back into the lives of the forest dwellers. Then soon many people will cross the forest again and I will not be alone that often anymore. Goodbye Yoshta, we will definitely run into each other again>.

Yoshta said goodbye to the youth as a hero and set off again through a forest with the sword.
