gonna spit right in
your face freak," he said.
    I had begun to lose hope that I would get out of this. That
was when the dragon returned.

  Chapter 11
    It came crashing out of the sky with a roar. No longer
camouflaged, it wanted these creatures to see it. Booger stopped clawing his
way to my face and sat on my back in stunned silence. I took this opportunity
to roll over, knocking him off, but he jumped on top of me again. The other
creatures ran squealing and screaming as the dragon dived after them. It
grabbed three of them with its back claws, as it swooped down and knocked two
more tumbling with its tail. Booger had begun beating on me again. I lay there
trying to figure out how to get this thing off of me. I saw a strange red
glowing thing next to my head. I realized it was one of Booger's cigars. I
grabbed it and twisted around to face him as I plunged the lit cigar into the
side of his face. A bloodcurdling howl came from Booger's mouth. He fell off of
me, writhing in pain, and holding the quarter shaped burn he now had on his
face. I took off towards the front of the store, dodging people right and left.
There was blind panic. Some of the creatures must have made it into the store.
One was running on its stubby little feet, holding a case of beer over its
head. Another had a bottle of soda in its mouth. It had bitten through the
bottle and was sucking it dry. Then it began to eat the plastic bottle.
    A lot more of these green nightmares had come through the
ball portal. Running back and forth, going in and out of the store, running
with everything from 'Top Ramen' to toilet paper. It was total chaos. It amazed
me that no one had been hurt. There was still one dummy standing by the front
of the store, filming on his camera phone. A green guy stopped in front of him
and spat at him. The guy jumped back just in time. The spit hit the sidewalk
and started sizzling.  At the sight of this, the guy took off. Seeing the smoke
coming from the sidewalk, I realized why Booger wanted to spit in my face.
These creatures' spit must have some kind acid in it.
    I was being kept away from the front of the store as green
guy after green guy jumped on me and tried to beat me down.  I had no idea
where the strength was coming from, but I continued to fight them off.  After
knocking one over a car trying to leave the parking lot, I had a moment to
rest. I jumped into the back of a truck and watched the whole scene.
    The dragon was fantastic. Swooping down it bowled them over.
It seemed to be everywhere at once. Any time one of the nightmares got close to
a panicky person trying to get away, the dragon was there, protecting them,
sending the little beasts one way or another. But more and more kept appearing
and it was becoming clear that we were fighting a losing battle. I heard a baby
cry and a scream and I saw a woman with a stroller backed up against the side
of the building. Two creatures had them trapped. I jumped up to help them when
Booger came out of nowhere, grabbed my head, and pulled me back down into the
truck. We rolled around with neither of us getting the upper hand. I heard the
baby crying as the mother screamed for help. The strange pulling sensation from
my stomach had returned. I kicked at Booger and must have hit a tender spot. He
rolled off of me groaning in pain.  I stood up in the back of the truck ready
to help as the two beasts moved closer to the young motherand baby.
    Booger jumped on my back tearing his claws into my flesh. As
Booger continued to scratch at my back, I saw the dragon flying straight toward
me. It didn’t see the cornered mother. The pain was intense and the pressure
grew inside of me. It was some sort of strange buzzing energy. My breath came
out in short gasps. As the buzzing grew inside of me, I reached behind me and
pulled Booger off my back and flipped him over my head, smashing him into the
ground. I looked at the dragon and pointed toward the mother and baby.
    “FETCH!” I yelled
