Chapter 8; Backstreet Words and Lovesick Nerds

Kett was sitting lazily in her saddle, just smirking as Moordryd and Decepshun caught up to her and Belladona. She had headed to the backstreets, not caring who was following her. When she looked up and saw Moordryd, that just made her more determined to give him and Decepshun a hard sprint through the streets. As he finally caught up, she had had a headstart; they rode down to Knocker Alley, the best place for spare parts.

"Umm, I got some Black parts, and some Green, but that's really all," said a vendor sadly.

"Reno, you're the best supplier in the backstreets, how can you not have gear parts?" asked Kett fervently.

"Listen kid, I'm sorry, but people aren't throwing out much gear these days, no new gear and all that."

"What!" exclaimed Moordryd, whipping around.

"Oh, shouldn't you know, you're a Payyn after all. Well, Payyn Industries ain't making as much gear as they used to. Sorry."

"Ain't, I mean isn't producing gear? Do you have a screw loose? My father wouldn't stop producing gear, it's his business!" Moordryd snickered at the very suggestion.

"Kid, I ain't jokin'. Three Mid-City and two Sun-City stores are already closed." Moordryd glowered at being called 'kid'.

"But, gear is a major base of Dragon City economy, this could cause trouble!" moaned Kett.

"How naïve can you get, Kett? Causing trouble is what my father does best!" snapped Moordryd, "Come on, we better head back. Reno, if you get some parts, tell someone at Penn Racing, we'll need it."

------------------------------------------

"Hey Moordryd?" Kett asked, "Moordryd?" Ever since they returned to the stables from their talk with Reno, Moordryd had been silently brooding.

"Moordryd, hello, anybody in there? Umm, DRAGON THEFT!"

"What?" Moordryd asked, jerking out of his daze. Kett smirked and muttered, "I should've tried that sooner."

"Yeah, old habits, what's so important?"

"Parm and Cyrano are missing," whined Lance, "We don't know where he is."

'Of course you don't know! If you did he wouldn't be missing, now would he?" asked Moordryd dryly. Lance glared at him.

"He probably went to see Ophelia, oh no!" yelled Artha, "Ophelia's Mecra, Parm could be heading for a trap!"

"Could be!" groaned Kitt, "there is no doubt in my mind that he is!"

'Time for the Dragon Booster to kick some butt," said Artha, 'RELEASE THE DRAGON!"

"Wait a minute," started Moordryd after Artha transformed, "If Kett and I show up, it'll be too obvious that Artha's the Dragon booster, I'm shocked I never relized that bfore by the way, since technically only Artha would be missing from the crew. I have an idea, but first we need to know where Parm is."

A/N: Yeah, I mnow it's short, but it's leading up to the next chapter, which will be longe. No, Kett isn't faster than Moordryd, she just had a head start. Yeah, some OOC ness, but this is just a connecter chappie, next one should be up soon!
