It didn't take long for them to get lost.
What with all the twists and turns, none of them had the slightest idea of where to go. The voice of Kon didn't sound in their minds, but they had no illusions that he didn't know they were there. If he could watch what happened in Dragon City, he most likely knew what was going on right next door.
Wyldfyr was the most anxious of the dragons. Being the Dragon of the Yellow Eye, he knew that, soon, the Sisters of the Dragon would be coming after him.
As they were walking, the corridor they were in opened up into a large cavern. Along the walls were nine possible ways to go. Lance sighed with exasperation. "Why would they build such a big place if there's only one thing in here?" He asked.
Artha shook his head. "I don't think the Boosters built this place, Lance. Something tells me this is Kon's compound."
That idea made them all shiver. No wonder Kon had such control over the place as to block Parmon and Cyrano and Lance and Frachsun's way. Parmon examined each of the corridors. "Well," he said. "All of the tunnels perfectly resemble the other, so I'd say there was an equal chance that either of them would lead us to Moordryd."
The others nodded their agreement. So they made a plan: they'd each split up and choose a tunnel. Artha and Beau would go down the one directly across from them. Kitt and Wyldfyr would take the third one to the left. Cain and Decepshun took the third one to the right. Lance and Frachsun took the corridor to the left of Artha and Beau's. And Parmon and Cyrano would take the corridor to the right of Artha and Beau's.
As soon as they entered their designated corridors, slabs of rock prevented their retreats. They were all cut off from each other. Each was thinking thoughts along the line of: Great, how can we end this if we're separated? Parmon, though, had more chicken-like thoughts.
As Cain and Decepshun were walking down their corridor, Decepshun began to glow. When the glow subsided, Decepshun was in her Vysox form.
"This can't be good," Cain muttered. "If Moordryd's going Shadow Booster he must be in trouble. Decepshun, can't you sense him or something."
Decepshun nodded. Now that she was in Vysox form, her mental capacity greatly increased. Though, it was always increased after absorbing the bone mark, it happened especially so when she was in the form of the Vysox. According to the mental connection between her and Moordryd, Moordryd was on the other side of the compound. But luckily, she knew a path that would lead her there. She leaped into a gallop and ran down the path that would lead her to her rider.
Meanwhile, Wyldfyr and Kitt are in serious trouble.
As they walked down the corridor, they noticed it doubled in size. This worried Kitt, for it gave someone adequate room to attack.
"Keep your guard up, Wyldfyr." She said to her dragon. "Anything could happen in here."
Unbeknownst to them, two pure black dragons were following them on either side.
Eventually, Kitt noticed a dark purple glow before her. She saw nothing at first, but soon a blast of black mag energy blasted her right off of her dragon. Wyldfyr roared at the direction the blast came from, and turned to help Kitt. But as Wyldfyr faced Kitt, two Black Control Pods shot from either side and attached to Wyldfyr's back legs. Wyldfyr tried to resist the gear, but these ones were of high level, and even he couldn't keep himself from bowing.
From the shadows where the Black Control Pods came from came the Sisters of the Dragon. They were the ones who had fired the gear at Wyldfyr. Coming up behind the bowing dragon was the Shadow Booster, or rather, Moordryd Paynn.
"Well, well, well, seems someone knows who's in charge." He said. He patted Wyldfyr on the head. If Wyldfyr had been able to move, since the pods were somehow draining his energy, he so would've bitten Moordryd's hand off.
Moordryd looked over at Kitt, whom was unconscious from hitting her head as she fell. "Thank you, by the way, Kitt. Your dragon will prove most useful in Kon's plans." He then picked that moment for an evil laugh. The Sisters joined in his evil revelry.
Moordryd attached the Control Pods to the backs of the Sisters with some wires, and then hopped onto one of the dragons' saddle. "We've got the Dragon of the Yellow Eye, Sisters." He said. "Now, let's get him to the lab and initiate Kon's grand return."
As they headed for the lab, Wyldfyr's worst fears were realized. Nothing but terror awaited him and the Dragon of the Green Eye. Nothing but terror and pain.
