Chapter 3: A Good Burn
"They where going to make an alliance." Lance stated out of shock.
"Yes. They wanted to rule everything." Connor stated as he looked at the teens.
"How did the queen die?" Kitt asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"She seemed to have die from illness, but I believe that she had died from being poisoned." the dragon priest answered as he looked at everyone.
"Ah, what would she have me do if she did make me her slave?" Lance asked as he looked scared.
"What ever she wanted kid." Moordryd answered as he knew what happened to every dragon and human when they are under the effect of wraith gear.
"Legend also said that the Shade Booster kept trying to get the youngest of the boosters to her side." Connor stated as he started to rub his chin.
"Which one was the youngest?" Artha asked hoping it wasn't the one he suspected.
"The blue draconium Energy Booster." Connor answered making everything look at Lance and Fracshun with worry.
"I'm dead, so very dead." Lance stated as he grabbed his head.
"No you're not, but you'll be wishing you where." Moordryd stated as Kitt gave him a glare that would kill him if a look could kill.
"Don't worry. No matter what, I'll make sure that little slave driver doesn't get you." Kitt stated as she placed her hand on the younger Penn brother's shoulder.
"That makes two of us." Artha stated as he looked ready to kill.
"That may not matter younger Dragon Booster." stated as a gold dragon priest as he and the four colors of balance and power came walking up to them.
"What are you doing here?" Connor asked as he was surprised all five groups came here.
"A Dragon-Human War is coming even faster now with the return of the Dark Boosters." the green dragon priest stated as he looked at all of them.
"That doesn't answer my father's question." Artha stated as he looked ready to grab one of the priests.
"Silence your tongue or I will remove it from your mouth." the red dragon priest replied, but also revealling that the priest was in fact a priestess.
"Sorry about him, he has no idea how to act after he loses." Kitt stated as she slapped Artha in the back of the head for being rude.
"At least he has someone to keep him under control." the priestess stated as she seemed to glare at the Dragon Booster.
"We are here to tell you where the Red Draconium Gauntlet of Fire and the Red Draconium Amulet are." the blue dragon priest answered the question with the voice that sounded rather young compaired to the others.
"You can find the items deep with in the Fire Caves." the black dragon priest stated as he looked at them as he spoke with a dead serious voice.
"How deep?" Kitt asked as she looked at the dragon preists.
"You will find them in an old Blood Empire fortress. Follow the oldest track, and at its end you will find the fortress. Becareful, for the darkness may follow you." the priestess answered as she and the other dragon priests left through the shadows like how they usually do.
Dark Boosters, near the Academy:
Twilight was holding a basic white and copper brown racing helmet while she wore a basic copper gold racing jacket with a sleeve barely showing her golden copper colored gauntlet on her left arm & her jacket was unzipped showing a light brown short sleeved shirt with her amulet of six pointed star with the arms pointing out wards, copper brown pants, brown shoes, and her dragon was now green & black with copper eyes. Bell now wore a frilly voilet shirt with her amulet on top of it showing a dragon claw like peice on it, a dark purple under shirt with sleeves that reach her wrists with her gauntlet on her left arm, black pants with grey shoes, a basic voilet racing helmet with a mask was on her saddle with a violet racing jacket, and her dragon now looking like any every day black draconium dragon as it was a deep purple. Ace now wore a blood red racing jacket that was buggy like Moordryd bearly showing his gauntlet on his left arm or the bloody red under shirt, bright red pants, dull red shoes, his dragon looked to be a bright red draconium dragon, and he was holding a basic red racing helmet in his left hand while he held his dragon skull shaped amulet in his right hand. Credic now wore a large jade heavy built racing helmet with a face shield, with his horn shaped amulet on his neck, a deep green leotard with no arms but full length legs, light green shoes, his gauntlet was on his left arm while his right hand had a metal brass knuckle on it, and his dragon looked to be any old green draconium dragon. Cabel now wore a slip stream sapphire helmet made to lower air resistance, a deep blue full body leotard showing his gauntlet on his left arm & his tear shaped amulet on his neck, and his dragon looked like every other blue draconium dragon. Twilight also now had cut short hair that was naturally copper that showed her face with flawless white skin. Bell had her hair in a single knouted ponytail going down her back showing her procilain white skin with a single dimpal on her right cheeck. Ace had his hair cut short to the point that it looked military showing sun kissed tan skin. Credic had his hair where it didn't pass his forehead showing a face with a scare going down the right side of his face in a straight line. Cabel had slaightly longer hair kept up in a small bun behide his head showing flawless skin that was sun kissed.
"Twilight, what is that place?" Bell asked as she looked at her leader.
"That looks like a place where they train the next Light Boosters. What do you think we should do Ace?" Twilight stated as she looked over her shoulder to him.
"I don't know. What do you say Cabel?" Ace asked as he looked at the Intel member.
"Not sure, Credic?" Cabel asked the muscles of the group.
"I say that we let our dragons deside about this place." Credic answered with his surprising wisdom.
"I forget that he's not just all muscles." Bell stated as the giant looked at her.
"Don't forget that we are all rulers of an empire. Or should I say was, and the brain is a muscle too. Anyway, what do you think about this place, Herucles?" the giant stated and then looked down at his male dragon as he seemed to glare at the building of higher learning.
"What do you think Korra?" Cabel asked his female dragon as she seemed to be thinking of an answer.
"Alucard, what should we do to this place?" Ace asked his male dragon as he seemed to be grinning at some image in his mind's eye.
"Nightmare, any thoughts about this?" Bell asked her female dragon as she seemed to be hiding in the shadow of Hercules while glaring at the building.
"Luna, what should we do?" Twilight asked her female dragon as she seemed to stare blankly at the Academy.
After about 5 minutes, all 5 dragons roared with rage knowing fully well that their riders would understand. Each rider smiled at the answer the dragons gave as all 10 of them looked at the building.
"Then it's decided. We will destroy this place." Twilight stated as she looked at the structure.
"Yes, but I suggest that we first get some gear so we can do it easier." Ace replied as he at all of his allies.
"What do you mean? We can do it now." Cabel asked as he looked at the scout and tracker of a the team.
"The only gear we have are the saddles we are on now. Remember, when we fought those annoying Light Boosters, they destroyed all of our war gear." Ace answered as everyone seemed to now notice the lack of gear on their dragons.
"So Twilight, do we get gear first or food? We still haven't eaten." Bell asked as she looked at every member in the group and know that they couldn't fight if they were to hungry.
"Food then gear." Twilight answered as she turned Luna to the streets of Dragon City for food.
"I suggest, that after we get the gear, we get an army afterwards." Credic stated as he looked around and saw down city crew members around at the moment.
"Agreed." Twilight replied as she lead the group around trying to find an easy target to get food for her group.
"This can't be good." said a member of the Mechanits as he became visible before disappearing again to go tell Rivett his news of five new dragon racers.
Penn Racer Crew, Fire Caves:
"We should not be here. Ever since Pyrrah lost the chance to go to the Academy last year, the Dragon Flares has been attacking anyone they find in their territory." Parm stated as he looked around to make sure they weren't being followed.
"Relax Parm. Pyrrah has gotten her crew to calm down, and remember it's Pyrrah. She's always been kind to people." Artha replied as he looked at the slightly panicking Bull-class rider.
"Actually, I'm with the Professor on this one stable brat. Pyrrah has been having some trouble keeping her crew under control." Moordryd countered as he looked around the area to make sure that there was no Dragon Flares around.
"I feel sorry for her." Lance stated as he looked around to make sure they wouldn't be attack.
"Now what do we have here?" asked as voice of a man as he rode his dragon out from behind some cover and was followed by some others who where all members of the Dragon Flares.
"I say that we have some trespassers." answered a female member as she pulled out a blocking staff and was joined by other members.
"We aren't here for trouble. We are just looking for an old fortress." Artha stated as he and the others pulled their blocking staffs out while Lance pulled out a flash stick, just incase they need to deffend themselves.
"That's enough of this! You should feel ashamed at what you are doing!" Pyrrah yelled as she and Sparkk rode up on their dragons.
"This is Dragon Flare territory. They don't belong here." the man replied as he pointed at the five riders and their dragons.
"Artha Penn, what are you doing here and with Moordyrd Paynn?" Pyrrah asked as she looked at them with a shocked expression.
"Well if you need to know why I'm here, it's because I'm trying to pay stable brat here back for all the wrong I did to him." Moordryd answered half of the fellow crew leader's question.
"We're looking for an old fortress that is at the end of one of the tracks in the Fire Caves." Artha answered the rest of the question as he looked at the firey dragon racer.
"There's only one track that has a fortress at the end of it, but I wouldn't use it if I was any of you." Sparkk stated as he looked at the dragon riders.
"Why is that?" Lance asked as he looked at the fellow younger brother.
"That track is in the middle of a couple of lava flows that are rather active at the time being." Pyrrah answered as she looked at the other crew.
"We need to get there today though. What would you suggest we use to get through the track safely?" Parm asked as he looked at the crew leader as he had Cyrano take a few steps away from the angry Dragon Flare members.
"I would say a light green deflection gear for each of you." the female crew leader answered as she looked at the small racing crew.
"Or you chance it and use red thruster gear and maybe white gliding gear to hopefully avoid the lava geysers." Sparkk added as he looked at the others.
"How long does the lava flows stay active?" Kitt asked as she then threw an angry look at a Dragon Flare that got to close for her to like.
"It will last a couple more days. Why do you need to get to that fortress?" Pyrrah countered as she looked at them with concern.
"And no one can get into that fortress anyway. It's locked tighter than a dragon's jaw on a draconium bar." Sparkk stated as he looked at the newest racing crew.
"My father believes there might be something in it to help him bring back the gold draconium dragons." Artha lied as he looked at the two riders.
"We'll call you when the lava flows are no longer active." Pyrrah replied to the oldest Penn son knowing that if Connor Penn succeed that it could bring piece to Dragon City.
"Thank you." Artha stated as he and the others left while they heard Pyrrah yelling at the crew members for how they acted.
Dark Boosters, Dragon City:
The Dark Boosters were riding through the city trying to find a good looking food store to rob. They been riding for hours and they were getting hungrier and they didn't know what to try.
"Hey that place looks fine." Bell stated as she pointed at a store that sold fruits and vegetables and dragon feed.
"Then we have our target. Let's find a place to be alone." Twilight replied as she lead the group to a dark alley and then looked around to make sure no one can see them.
"I love this part." Bell whispered as she looked at her allies.
"Release the Comet!" Twilight yelled as she place the amulet into the gauntlet and her armor appeared with Luna showing her real colors.
"Release the Shade!" Bell yelled as she and Nightmare did the same.
"Release the Ox!" Credic yelled as he and Hercules followed suit.
"Let the Blood Flow!" Ace yelled as he and Alucard mimiced the others.
"Let the Tears Flow!" Cabel yelled as he and Korra copied the others.
"Now let's get some food before we die from hunger." Ox stated as everyone agreed and left the alley the way they came in.
"Mommy, who are those people over there?" asked a little boy of maybe five or six.
"I don't know. Maybe they are friends of the Dragon Booster and have come to help him." the mother answered as she looked at the five riders and their dragons.
"They look scary." the little boy replied as he hid behind his mother's legs.
Before anyone could do anything, 5 Dragon City Security officers came riding up to the boosters and blocked them from their goal.
"Excuse me, but who are you and what are you doing here?" the lead officer asked as he looked at the five strangers and their dragons.
"I am the Comet Booster, and with me are my allies the Shade Booster, the Blood Booster, the Tear Booster, and the Ox Booster. And we are here to gather food for us and our dragons." Comet answered as she glared at the law enforcers.
"Are you friends with the Dragon Booster?" a female officer asked as she looked at the boosters.
"We are not." Blood answered as he and his dragon glared at the officers.
"Are you friends with the Shadow Booster then?" a young man sounding officer asked as he placed his hand at the ready for his blocking staff.
"We are not." Shade answered as she and her dragon kept looking at the food store.
"Then why have you came here?" asked the last two officers who seem to be fraternal twins.
"We're here to take over this city." Tear answered as he decided to show some of his power and charged up a small amount of mage to glow showing he and most likely the others in his group have been trained in Mag-Claw.
The officers backed up not knowing what to do in this kind of situation, so they activated their blocking staffs and armed their wrist mounted green resturaint gear and preyed that they wouldn't get killed.
"Out of the way! We're hungry!" Ox yelled as he and Hercules charged with a powerful tackle sending the twins and the younger officer into a nearby wall of a high class resturaunt.
"Adam! Dawn! Jack!" the leading officer yelled as three of his allies and friends were thrown what seemed to be the greatest of easy to the giant.
"I be more worry about yourself if I was you." Shade stated as she was now behind him and was about to throw a mag blast at him.
Before Shade was able to release her attack on the leader, the female officer blocked her attack by firing her restraint gear at her, but was block by Comet.
"Why are you doing this?" the officer asked as she looked at the two female boosters.
"Anyone that gets in the way is an enmey. Tear, be a gental men and help this lady to her seat." Comet stated as she seemed to order Tear.
"I would love to." Tear replied as he appeared on the females left and fired a mag push into her sending her into the three officers that Ox took out.
"Jenny! You'll pay for that!" yelled the final officer as he readied himself for battle.
"No Jefferson. Ran away." Jenny spoke out as she, her dragon, and the others tried to get up.
"To late." Comet stated as she and Shade blasted him into the others along with his dragon.
"Big Brother, lunch is served." Shade stated as she motioned to the officers with her arms.
"Thank you for the meal." Blood stated as he and Alucard moved in front of the officers and built up a mag charge.
Blood charge his and his dragon's mag energy for about a second before using the Mag Rip technique on the officers and drained them of all of their mag energy. The officers and their dragons didn't move and no that was still there dare to move as well for fear of getting attention from them.
"That was pathadic. They bearly had any thing in them. If they even survive I will be very disappointed in my own skills." Blood stated as he and the others went into the store and the owner let them take what ever they want.
The boosters took about two weeks worth of dragon and human food and all the money the cash register had which was about enough to last a family of three two weeks if spent responibly. They even stole a dragon trailer from a man who was passing by at the time so they could carry everything. They so desappeared from the public and no one know where to look.
"That was to easy. As soon as we get our strength back, we'll get some gear." Comet stated as she lead the group to what looked to be an abandoned factory building.
"Let's power down and eat." Blood stated as he went to do that.
"Wait a minute Blood. We need to make sure we are alone." Twilight countered as she sent a glare a the crimson armor clad booster.
"Fine. I'll do it." Blood stated as he and Alucard quickly looked around the building and came back.
"Anything?" Tear asked as he looked at the fastest rider he ever knew.
"Did you hear me fry anything?" Blood asked back as he looked back at them.
"We're alone. Time to eat." Comet stated and then took off her armor and was then followed by the others.
They first gave their dragons food so if they had to leave quickly they could. After giving each dragon a health amount of food, they started to eat as well. After about 5 minutes of them eating, a group of about 20 varying draconium dragons and their riders rode in and saw the group of five dragons and humans.
"Now what do we have here?" asked a white skinned guy that had to be 15 with purple dyed hair styled to be a small mohawk, green eyes, a piercing at the end of his left eye brow, wearing a race suit of different shades of purple, with a basic racing helmet, and riding a little but deep shade of purple Black Psi-Class dragon.
"Well Drake, I would say that we have five kids and their dragons in our hideout." answered a brown skinned girl around 14 with badly dyed red hair in dreadlocks, while wearing a full body leotard, that shows her belly button and the piercing in it, of different shades of red, while she was holding a deep red racing helmet with a mask, and was on a Red Magma-Class dragon that had golden high lights on the sides of its head and the tip of its tall.
"Thank you Amy." Drake replied as he pulled out a mag drain whip and pointed it at group of five humans and dragons.
"Didn't we need an army?" Bell asked as she looked at the older members of her group.
"Yes we did." Credic answered as he stood up and cracked his knuckles.
"Do you really think you can beat us?" asked a punk looking girl that looked to be 15 that was riding a Green Bull-Class dragon.
"I'm eating right now, but I'll humor you, so who are you?" Ace asked as he finished a bite from a watermelon and then took another bite after asking.
"We're the Street Punks and we will mess you up!" yelled a bald boy that was 16 while riding a dull Turquoise Sonic-Class dragon.
"They aren't showing us any respect. You know what we do to people that don't show us any respect boys and girls." Drake yelled as he whipped his mag whip around in the air causing the other members to pull out blocking staffs, mag whips, or mag hammers.
"I can't wait to beat these posers." Amy stated as she pulled out a zap staff that looked a lot like Pyrrah's.
"Oh lovely, desert." Ace stated as if he didn't have a care in the world as he stood up and throw the rind in front of the street gang.
"Don't kill them Ace. We may need them." Twilight ordered as she took a sip of orange juice.
"I'll try." Ace replied as he and Alucard moved towards the punks.
"I say that he kills at least three." Cabel stated as he looked at the group of punks.
"I say he kills at most two." Credic countered as he looked at all of the riders.
"I say my big brother isn't going to kill any of them. More like seriously injury or maim a couple of them." Bell countered as she was drinking a small carton of milk.
"Do you really think you can fool us with this macho act?" yelled a black skinned boy who was bald that was at most 13, while he was riding a Purple Pack-Class dragon.
Ace didn't answer as Alucard Mag him up onto him while Ace started to build up mag energy and was glowing crimson. He then pulled his arms in with a look that made him look like he was going to kill them all and not care.
"I think he knows Mag-Claw." stated a girl that looked to be 16 that was riding a Blue Energy-Class dragon with a hint of fear.
"He can't possible know it. I mean look at him he can't be more than 16." Drake replied as he was looking at Ace with disbeleif all over his face.
Ace unleashed a Mag Rip at the gang hitting five of them and drained about 9/10 of the mag energy from the members before stopping. Drake and Amy were lucky since they weren't hit with the attack and were still awake to see what was going on.
"You have two choices. One you can surrender and give full control of your little group to me, or two I have Ace kill each and everyone of you. The choice is your own, but I suggest that you choose the first one." Twilight stated as she looked at the group of dragon riders with indefferents.
"You might want to choose quickly too. Twilight doesn't wait long, and my big brother really wants to kill something." Bell stated to the punks as she looked at them boredly.
"I hand over full control of the Street Punks to you Twilight." Drake stated almost instantly after Bell was done talking.
"You are all members of the Dragon Comets. Good for you." Twilight replied as she looked at the no members with boredom.
"What about the members that he knocked out?" Amy asked as she pointed at the five knocked out bodies of the dragons and their riders then to Ace.
"I didn't take to much draconium from them. They are going to have a killer headache though." Ace answered as he turned around and sat by Twilight.
"First order of business, we need gear." Twilight stated as she glared at the punks that scared many of them.
"I know this shop that has great gear." Drake stated as he looked at these five riders and their dragons that radaited fear.
"Great then we will be getting good gear." Bell stated as she picked up an apple and begain to eat it.
"But it's in an area where there are a lot of Dragon City Sercurity patrols around it and the Dragon Booster is seen around there the most." Drake replied as he trembled at the looks he reseved from all five of the riders and dragons.
"Don't even mention his name, and don't worry about either of them. We can handle them." Twilight stated as she sent a glare at black draconium user.
"Should we wear masks or something?" Amy asked as she looked at the new leader.
"Don't bother." Twilight answered as she went back to her food.
"But if we get caught on camra, then we won't be aloud to race." Drake replied as he looked at Twilight with shock on his face.
"Race? We are going to war." Ace counter as he sent a glare at the punks.
"War!" every punk stated in union as they looked at the new boss.
"And I give Ace here the order to kill any traitors. Do I make myself clear?" Twilight asked as she glared at the punks.
"Yes Mam." was the single replie that came from the gang.
"Good, because when we get the gear, we will destroy that building with all of those lights." Twilight stated she gave a powerful preditoray smile.
"Do you mean the Academy?" Amy asked as she looked at the copper haired girl.
"I guess, but I don't care what it's called. It will burn." Twilight answered as all the punks now smiled at this thought.
