A/N: Man, what is it with me and not coming up with good title names? DX Okay, well, I was originally going to TRY and get a group of oneshots out before this, but...you know what? Screw it! Let's do a full-length story! I'm starting to get back into Dragon Booster somewhat (that may change in the near future, IDK...), so let's do one with my Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's OC Ren and his gang, eh? I'm a bit rusty at the series (I don't think I've seen it since...2005ish? I've been mainly seeing some fanwork of it on dA and got inspired more and more XD), so bear with me. ^^; I'll get better, I promise! I'm doing as much research on it as I can!

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or Dragon Booster AT ALL! I only own my OCs. Got it? Good. (I hope ;-;)

Prologue: A New Destiny Awaits:

"Bleize? Bleize! Oh, come on, where is that dragon?" an eighteen-year-old young man (Ren) groaned, running a hand through his short dark-brown hair. I swear, this happens all the time! One minute, I see her, and the moment I turn my back on her she vanishes! I swear, once I find her- Right as he was ranting in his head, the purple pack-class dragon stuck her head out from around the corner and roared in his face. "GACK!" He fell back onto his rear.

"So...not...COOL, Bleize!" The dragon gave a rumble, still grinning. "You're laughing at me...ugh, you're the weirdest pack-class dragon EVER."

Blezie pulled back up to her full height. She looked like the typical pack-class dragon (save for the bits of white on some of her markings), but she acted quite differently compared to most others. Yes, she preferred to be in her pack (consisting of the dragons of Ren's friends along with said riders), but she didn't mind training on her own with Ren. Others kept saying there was something not right about her, but Ren shrugs it off ("Hey, I'm not exactly normal either. Why should Bleize be?").

"Well, thanks for the heart attack, but we better get with the others before Eric comes here and beheads me," he sighed, getting up. "That guy really needs to take a chill pill every once in a while."

Once getting suited up (both rider and dragon), they set off to the destination. The meeting place was in a more or less "private" section in Down City. A bit of a rough place, but not many people to find them while they're doing their practice. And the less likely that people can see them, the better.

While on the way there, Ren was a bit confused. Eh? Why's the street all cleared out? This is getting freaky, he thought, having Bleize stop in her run. She looked a bit confused.

"Something's not right, girl. We better head back and call off today's practice," Ren told her. "Let's-" Before he could finish, someone raced past the two, scaring both dragon and rider. The unknown racer had the dragon screech to a halt a few feet away from the duo.

"You are Ren Mori of the dragon Bleize, right?" the unknown rider asked. The helmet covered up all of the rider's face, so Ren couldn't see any details at all.

"Me..? Why? And where has everyone gone?"

"That's not important. What is important...is that we race."

"Race? Sorry, pal, but this isn't the track for-"

"We will race to that sign and back here. The first one to make it back will be the winner. Agreed?"

This guy just doesn't want to give up on it...well, he wants a race, eh? He'll GET one! "Fine, we accept." Bleize gave out a distressed roar. Something clearly wasn't right with this rider or his...dragon. "Come on, Bleize. We've been doing pretty well in the races so far. I'm sure you can beat this one." A snort came from her. "Fine, I promise an extra treat then if you do this, win or lose."

Bleize snorted, catching a glance at the other dragon. There was just something...unnatural about it. It looked almost like one of those black psi-class dragons...or at least, in body anyway. There was a much more menacing glare to it and it was covered in spikes and markings that looked like dark flames dancing on its body. All in all, Bleize didn't know if Ren made the right choice at accepting this challenge.

The two got into position. The purple pack-class dragon took a glance at her opponent, not even seeing a flicker of emotion in the eyes. Trying to get rid of these nerves, she focused on what was ahead. The riders counted down and took off once they hit the final number.

For the most part, Ren and Bleize were in the lead. They made it to the sign and made the u-turn back to where the race started. Yes! I knew all those hours of practice had to pay off! Now let's hurry up and end this and-! His thoughts started cutting off when, from the corner of his eye, he saw the other rider and dragon swiftly coming up. And... Before he could even blink, they passed right by them. Bleize, in shock, screeched to a halt, not even bothering with finishing the race.

What...What in the...he was trailing behind us just a moment ago! And then...was he TAUNTING me the whole time!? Ren thought, slightly panting along with his dragon.

"You lose," the rider said. Ren could almost hear the smirk in the voice.

"I-" Ren could feel himself shaking. Bleize growled lowly, not from the loss, but from how the man was acting.

"Well, if this is all that even a mere Guardian can do.." He lifted his hand up at Ren and Bleize. "...you have no hope of saving any of your worlds!"

"Any of...what are you talking about?!"

The hand the rider had extended started forming some sort of mag energy in the palm of his hand. Then it was blasted right at Ren and Bleize. However, instead of falling onto the street, it felt like both were falling into an abyss. Ren looked behind them to see if the guy had just blasted them over the rails, but no. It looked like darkness they were falling into. "Bleize, quick! Do the thing!"

Bleize tried to focus her own mag energy to do their "secret trick," but to no avail. She couldn't focus with her and her rider falling to parts unknown...if they'd survive it at all. Pretty soon, their vision went dark as both fell into unconsciousness.

(Scene Shift)

Ren groaned as he slowly opened his eyes...and then had to shut them with how bright the lights were. He hissed, putting an arm over his eyes. Ack...scales, why do hospital lights have to blind you like that?! he thought.

"Young man, are you awake?" a voice from the side asked. Ren uncovered his eyes to see a doctor there.

"Uh, yeah. More or less," he replied, slowly sitting up.

"That's good. When you were brought in, I was sure your injuries would be more severe. The only problem we were worried of was a small concussion, possibly from your helmet hitting pavement. Other than that, you came away with only some scrapes here and there. Not bad from crashing your duel runner."

Seems like Bleize took most of the fall damage for me...wait, did he say "duel runner"? What's that? "I crashed what now?"

"Your duel runner. That's what I was told."

"You mean 'dragon,' right? I don't know what a duel runner is!"

"No, fairly sure it was duel runner. You sure you're okay there, son?"

Oh scales...what have I gotten myself into?!

A/N: Well...this may be the only chapter for a while...I need to desperately catch up on all things Dragon Booster related before I continue moving on. Like I said, it's been a LOOOONG time since I last saw the series at all (minus fanwork, but that's it). So, hope you look forward to the next chapter in this!
