Chapter 6

"Okay" said the Dragon Booster once they where in the stables "I think we should have a few introductions. I am Artha Penn, this is my brother Lance." He pointed to a ten year old with shoulder length red brown hair. "Our friends Kitt Wann" Artha gestured to a girl with blue hair "and Parmon Sean." He gestured to a 16 year-old boy who looked rather geeky.

The Guardians nodded. Then Irma asked "but I thought you were Dragon Booster?"

"I am" said Artha "but only when I am in my Dragon Booster uniform. When I am not I am just Artha Penn."

"Oh" said Irma.

"Well," said Will "I am Wilma Vandom but call me Will. The blond over there is Cornelia Hale." Cornelia waved "The one who asked you how are you the Dragon Booster and Artha is Irma Lair. Hay Lin is the girl with black pig tails and the one in glasses is Taranee Cook."

Artha, Kitt, Parmon, and Lance nodded.

Then Artha was pushed in his back by his dragon. "Okay, Beau" said Artha "Well this dragon is Beau. He's mine. The red dragon belongs to Kitt his name is Wyldfyr. The big green one is Cyrano. Parmon rides him. The small blue and orange dragon is the one my brother rides; its name is Fracshun."

The guardians nodded.

"Okay" said Artha "Now that is out of the way it is time for us to teach you about dragons, draconium, and gear."

The girls nodded and took a sit on the ground next to their dragons.

"Well," said Kitt "first you should know about the different dragons."

"Okay" said Will.

"I probably should first tell you about what gear you can use with the colour your dragon is using as camouflage." said Artha "Well Irma yours being a Nautilus- class dragon you can-"

Irma cut him off "Nautilus-class?"

"Yes" said Artha "That refers to the colour of your dragon and the draconium in their bones."

"Okay," said Irma.

"Well as I was saying you can use black, red, purple, orange, light green, gray, white and turquoise. As well as light blue gear."

Kitt then spoke "Taranee you can use red draconium gear types as well as green, gray, light blue, turquoise, white, and light green gear."

"Now Cornelia," it was Parmon "I suggest you use brown, green, blue and light green draconium gear types."

Cornelia nodded so did Irma and Taranee.

Artha then turned to Hay Lin and said, "You can use red, blue orange, light blue and gray gear along with white draconium gear." Artha then turned to face Will and Will blushed slightly. "You, Will can use a larger verity of gear because of the two types of dragons your dragon is. They include blue, purple, brown, gray, light green, white, black, red, green, and turquoise."

Will slowly nodded.

"Good" said Artha "Now I will tell you what the different draconium gear does…"

The lessons continued for a few hours before Parmon spoke up. "Artha" he said "you have a race in a half an hour."

"Oh shit," said Artha "Sorry girls we have to cut our lesson short."

"Short?" cried Irma "You call that short."

"Okay" said Artha "It wasn't that short but good thing we teach you how to ride because you have to come with us."

"Okay" said the guardians and mounted their dragons. Artha, Kitt, Parmon and Lance also mounted their dragons and they were all of to the race.

"Were here," said Artha "You can leave your dragons here. They are usually safe."

"Usually?" Taranee asked.

"As long as the Dragon Eyes don't steal them," said Kitt.

"Dragon Eyes?" Hay Lin said, "What are the Dragon Eyes?"

Artha slapped his head "Dang, I forgot to tell them about the down city crews."

"It's okay Artha," said Parmon "Me and Lance will tell them about the crews. You and Kitt go get ready."

"Okay," said Kitt and she turned Wyldfyr towards the track and then said "Come on stable boy."

"I see you after the race," said Artha and then he turned to follow Kitt.

Once both Kitt and Artha were out of site Parmon explained to the girls about the down city crews. "Basically the Down City crews are crews that race one another on the All City racing Circuit in hopes of being discovered by the Elite Class racing teams. Then according to Mortis they are remnants of the empires that started the first dragon human war. The Dragon Eyes are one of those crews. They are lead by Moordryd Paynn most of the time their Dragons are Psi-class dragons. Moordryd and his crew use there black draconium dragons and gear to install fear into people; and some times it is used to steal dragons for Moordryd's father, Word Paynn."

The girls just stared at Parmon for what seemed like 5 minutes before Hay Lin whispered "It was him who was stealing those dragons wasn't it."

Parmon nodded and said, "The race is starting soon. We should go watch Artha and Kitt. They may need help." With that he turned and started to walk the same way that Kitt and Artha went only a few minutes before. The guardians quickly turned and followed him. They had no clue on where they were going or even how to get back to Penn Stables.

A few minutes later…

"Where did he go?" asked Irma standing on her toes trying to see over the crowd.

"Were lost." cried Cornelia "We're in another time and the only people that we can trust aren't here."

"Okay, girls." Will said, "We just need to think logically. Remember what Parmon said about the down city crews. About how they come here to race. Well, I bet at lest one of them can help us."

"Okay, Will." said Taranee, "If you say so."

"I know so," Will said.

"Then what tent should we try first?" asked Hay Lin.

"That one" said the four other guardians all pointing in different directions.

"Okay" said Will "Lets try the one nearest to us."

The girls nodded and they all walked toward a tent with a banner that bore three evil looking purple eyes.

"Hello?" said Cornelia "Is anyone in there?"

"What do you want?" said a voice from inside "I am very busy so go away."

"Geze" said Irma "Who peed in his corn-flakes?"

The girls started to laugh and continued till the reached the next tent. This one had a banner of a green fist over it.

"Umm… hello?" said Taranee "Is anyone there?"

"Yes," said a large man exiting the tent "What can I do for you?"

"N-nothing" said Taranee and the girls ran for it.

"Okay the next one is that one." Said Will pointing at a tent what had a banner of a black eye over it.

"Hello," said Hay Lin and she was just about to ask if anyone one was there like the girls had done the other times when some one existed the tent.

'It's him.' thought the girls 'It's the guy who was stealing those dragons the other day.'

"Hello" said Moordryd "I have never seen you around here before. What do you want?"

"We" said Cornelia "were just seeing if some one could tell us what way Parmon Sean and Lance Penn went."

"Why are you looking for those stable brats?" said Moordryd.

"We're staying with them." Said Irma starting to really hate him.

"Oh great more stable brats," said Moordryd.

"Stable Brat?" screamed Irma lunging at Moordryd "I give you stable brat."

Taranee and Will grabbed Irma's arms and pulled her back while Cornelia yelled at Moordryd "I usually don't agree with Irma but this time I do."

"Come on Cornelia" said Hay Lin "Don't waste your breath on him."

Cornelia and Hay Lin then turned to follow Will and Taranee who were still pulling Irma along with them.

"Well, he was no help," said Taranee "All he did was call us stable brats."

"We shouldn't worry about it now," said Hay Lin, "We still need to find Parmon and Lance."

"Your looking for those two?" said a girly voice asked and the guardians turned around to face a young woman with flaming red hair.

"Ya" said Will "you know where they are?"

"Yes dear I do." Said the young woman "Shall I take you to them?"

The guardians nodded.

"Okay then follow me," she said, "I am Pyrrah by the way. I am the leader of the Dragon Flares." After a few minutes they arrived at a box (you know those boxes when you go a hockey or some other game) "Their you are." said Pyrrah "I guess I'll see you around."

"Thank you for your help." said Will and followed the rest of the guardians into the box.

"There you are" said Parmon "We thought you got lost."

"We did" said Cornelia "And if we never ran into Pyrrah we would still be."

"Sorry" said Parmon "I thought you were right behind us."

The girls nodded and Will said, "Don't worry about it."

"Hey guys" said Lance "the race is starting."

The girls along with Parmon ran forward in order to watch.
