[ WP ] The mythical creatures from all times and places of human history are real , and sleeping in wait inside the Earth . However , they have awakened , not to destroy the Earth , but to save it from an even greater threat .

`` M83AAB is on target. ETA 27 minutes 12 seconds, please confirm.'' 
 
 
 `` Roger that, Wrangler. M83AAB is set to enter orbit in 27 minutes 2 seconds.'' 
 
 
 The massive iron-cored asteroid adjusted its course slowly from a thousand tiny thrusters. Its guide, the mining vessel Wrangler led its slow trek toward Earth. 
 
 
 Deep below the earth's surface an eye cracked open, its slit-pupil glowing in the pitch black. 
 
 
 *We are needed, brothers. * 
 
 
 `` Houston? I'm getting some strange readings coming from Earth. Please confirm?'' 
 
 
 `` I'm seeing them too, Wrangler. We're on the horn with the Air and Space Force, but they have no planned launches.'' 
 
 
 Stretching their wings for the first time in a millennium, they soared upward, their scales blazing with atmospheric friction. 
 
 
 `` HOLY SHIT! DRAGONS!'' 
 
 
 ``... please repeat, Wrangler, I do n't copy'' 
 
 
 `` THERE ARE FUCKING DRAGONS ATTACKING OUR ROCK!'' 
 
 
 The ancient lizards fulfilled their sworn duty, crushing the rock that threatened their sky with powerful magics. Its fragments rained down through the atmosphere. Though they would do damage, Earth would survive. 
 
 
 `` They trashed M83AAB.'' Houston could hear the despair in the Wrangler operator's voice. It had not been an easy trip. 
 
 
 The dragons returned to the surface. In the distance, the *crump* of landing meteorites could be heard. The eldest nodded his head with satisfaction. 
 
 
 *Return to your slumber, brothers, we must be prepared at all times to defend the lesser races. *
