(sorry i need to stop handing out songs and make a REAL comment)

Akurle landed on the sandy ground, sending up a cloud of dust. She folded her wings halfway and lowered her stance, preparing for the impact of Inktrills attack. She squeezed her eyes shut and listening to the creaming and booing and cheering from the crowd. She couldn't make out any full conversations, but all the things she heard them say only lowered her spirit.

"FIGHT! FIGHT!"

"Get her Sly!!"

"Go go go go!"

"Kill it, dragon!"

"Weaklings! Fight already!"

"KILL HER!!!!!"

"FIGHT!"

Akurle listened closer, hearing the quieter conversations.

"I wonder if they are willing to kill each other. I heard they were once friends. Hmm, what if they don't fight?"

"I hope The Bog Beast smothers that tiny dragon!"

"Why aren't they fighting already? And what was the dragon talking about earlier?"

"I only like a good fight if it is intense, but this isn't intense at all!"

Akurle flinched when hearing the last voice. Why hadn't Ink killed her already? Akurle took a deep breath and focused. Now she could just barely hear the quietest of conversations that probably weren't from one of the ones watching them.

"What is wrong with that dragon? Is she okay? She looked almost like she...."

The voice was cut off. Akurle didn't think they were talking about her. She squeezed her eyes tighter and focused with all her might.

"Sick of being a monster? Wait, does that mean.... another magikin? But I thought the other dragon was killed!"

This brought Akurle new hope. BDK was alive, she had no idea how, but her friend was alive. Maybe there was something worth living for. And just before Akurle opened her eyes, she heard one last sentence.

"Those magikins are never going to fight. Why does the Necromancer even try? They are friends. And friends are loyal to each other, magikin or not."

Akurle snapped her eyes open. Giving up was NOT going to help her friends. Before she gave up, she was loyal. And she was going to try again, no matter the cost. Friends are loyal to each other, no matter what, magikin or not. Akurle saw Ink lunging toward her and she quickly spred her wings.

"Stop!" She shouted, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Inktrill, I know I was a bad friend, but I'm going to try again. I sat back and let my friends die, one by one. I left them unprotected and didn't defend them when they were captured or killed. I was a horrible friend, and I didn't deserve their love and friendship. I let them down and didn't fight back when I was captured. And here I am, giving up and letting my own friend kill me. I don't deserve friendship, I don't deserve to have anyones loyalty. I don't deserve to be friends with such amazing magikins like you. I don't even deserve to be standing here, alive, after all I did." Akurle took a breath and realized she was crying. But she wiped back the tears and continued.

"I may have been a bad friend, I may deserve to be alone, but I'm going to stop giving up and sitting back and letting everyone do the work for me. I am going to fight for the friend I lost, even if they hate me. I do deserve it. But I am going to stop sitting around and I am going to stand up for what is right. The magikins, my friends, don't deserve to die like I do. They are the best friends anyone could have. They deserve to live a great life with great Jammers like you." She gestured to the crowd of Jammers watching them.

"If you got to know them, you would agree. Please give them a chance! I may not deserve anything, but they do. They are amazing friends, they are so kind and loving. Please just give them a chance, please let them live the life they deserve! Please, I beg you, let them go freely to do what they want. They won't hurt any more of you, I promise. I'm so sorry for what I did... I was so angry... take out your anger on me, not them. Put ALL the blame on me, no them. They did nothing. They may have hurt you, but they were only trying to defend themselves. My friend, BlackDragonKid, she may have hurt many of you, but she brought you back to life and apologized, only to be killed. Please leave my friends alone and hurt me instead, I'm the one that deserves it. Let them go, please." Akurle held back the tears that were pouring out again.

In one huge blast of fire, she had melted a hole in the metal wire surrounding the arena. A few Jammers stepped back in shock, but no one seemed to be hurt.

"Go Inktrill. Please, hurry." She whispered.
