Dragon Warriors

in Inside Owen's Mind

In East Liverpool, a female police detective came in to her apartment after a long day of work. She has black hair tied in a ponytail, wears a white shirt with a brown leather jacket, jeans, and black shows. And her name is Detective Melissa Pan.

"Man, what a day." Melissa sighs in exhaustion. "Maybe pizza will be fine." she said.

Melissa walked took out her phone and dialed the number.

"Caesar's Pizza."

"Yes, I'd like a medium size pizza. I have a coupon." said Melissa.

"You got it. If we don't deliver it in 30 minutes, it's free."

Suddenly, her doorbell rang.

"Pizza!" Melissa turned in suspicion, and she walked toward her door and carefully grabbed her gun and looked through her peephole to find out. And from the other side of the door, the pizza deliverer is actually, Owen.

"Owen!" Melissa said in shock, and she took out her gun. But Gorg and Troox broke the door down which causes her to jump back, and Chloe kicked Melissa's gun out of her hand.

Then Owen sprayed some gas on her and she passes out.


Later, at an opera house. The Warriors are watching a rehearsal about a sad clown singing. After the song was over, the Warriors were at a gathering where people talk and eat where the room was filled with costumes worn by great actors.

"That costume was worn by the first Pagliacci." The Warriors turned and spotted a man. He has white hair and a heard, he wears a suit with a white coat, wears black pants, and black shoes. And his name is Doctor Fredrick Oddity.

"Hey, you must be that Dr. Oddity." Maia spoke.

"The Chief psychiatrist of the city's nut house." Vault said only for Prim to elbow him in the gut.

"Yes, I am very proud of my promotion myself." Oddity smiled. "But I am excited about my project thanks to Planet Government." he said, but the Warriors were confused since they don't like Planet Government.

"I'm not getting something here." said Connor.

"Mr. Earth had his science division created a revolutionary device which will open the doors to the insane mind, which I find it fascinating." Fredrick explained.

Suddenly the doors were opened, they turned and spotted Owen and everyone ran as he ignited his hands.

"Oh, I love an after opera party." said Owen and he threw his balls. But Connor and Alicia deflected them.

Then Connor is clashing weapons with Owen, when Connor got the upper hand, Owen was suddenly strapped by a bola. Connor spotted Howard with his blaster, looks like Howard joined the fight again.

"Alright Owen, what's with the party crashing thing?" Connor asked Owen.

"Come on Connor, haven't you ever heard. It ain't over till the fat lady sings." said Owen. "Or Detective Pan." he said, and the Warriors eyes widened in shock.


The Warriors are flying all over the city to find Melissa, but they found nothing.

"Any sign of her?" said Connor.

"No, Connor. I can't detect her heat signature." Alicia said as she checked her tablet.

Meanwhile, Melissa woke up and found herself tied up and trapped inside a big box.

"Where am I? Owen! Let me out!" yelled Melissa.

And what it appears she's trapped in a makeshift Jack in the Box with a couple boxes of dynamite in them.


Later, at the East Liverpool psychiatric hospital. Owen is being interrogated in a straight jacket by the police.

"Alright son, where's Melissa?" spoked Muntz.

"Come on, I've always hated opera music because it's boring, so I just decided to blow it up." said Owen.

"Now, now. We-we don't have time for this, we want to know where she is?" he said.

"I only know that, she's in a box that will open on eight hours, with a bang." said Owen. "And I'll show you where she is, if you let me go."

"Not in your life, boy." Muntz glared at Owen.

"As I've tried to explain you Chief, Owen will not divulge to the detective's whereabouts, and there won't be anymore time to save her." said Oddity.

"Then what's your idea Doctor?" Muntz asked.

"I have a device that allows it's user to tap directly into the patient's mind like a two-way radio." Oddity explained.

"Is it safe?" asked Tommy.

"I'm not sure." Oddity answered. "The technology isn't tested and could be risky, but I can volunteer." he said.

"So am I." Howard spoke.


At the catacombs, Kaguya has brought the Auxiliary Riders to help the Warriors out on their mission.

"What are we doing here again?" asked Neon.

"I've brought you here because I need you." said Kaguya. "Owen has kidnapped Detective Pan but, he won't tell. So the only way to find her whereabouts-,"

"Is to enter his crazed mind." Sugarcoat finished.

"Yes, but this could be dangerous." Beardsley spoke. "You kids could risking your own sanities.

"That may be true. But, we still owe them." said Kaguya.


Owen, Oddity, and Harold are strapped in to the device in order to find the answers they need to save Melissa.

"You may proceed." Oddity ordered.

Then the nurse activated the machine, it's lights went on and so are the heart monitors, until Owen is unconscious. But as for Harold, he felt like nothing happened.

"Are you sure this thing works Doctor?" Harold asked as he got up, only to see that he is in a dark room.

That is until Harold and Oddity spotted Owen.

"The machine worked. We're inside your mind." said Oddity.

"That's right, doc." Owen smirked. "And if you can find Detective Pan, try finding her in my memories." he said, and the background changed into an amusement park.

"Alright, all we have to do is find the right memory and we'll find the detective." said Harold.

And there they spotted a young Owen walking with his family.

"That ride was awesome it's like I was gonna throw up, or something I don't know-," Past Owen said.

"OWEN!" Owen stopped and looked up to see a middle aged man with glasses looking down at him angrily. And his name is Richard 'Trouble' Bzinak, Owen's father. "WOULD YOU SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINUTES!" Richard yelled.

"Whoa, sorry Trouble I didn't mean to annoy you." Past Owen apoligized.

"Well, you kept on annoying Connor and this family all our lives!" Trouble angrily scolded at Past Owen, while some of the people are watching and recording it on their phones.

And somehow, the rest of Owen's family aren't helping, like there scared of Trouble.

"Listen, if it's about the whole portal thing, I swear it was an accident." explained Past Owen.

"That's right, pushed Connor and now he's gone, for all I know that you wanted him gone all along." Trouble mocked.

And this struck Past Owen to the heart real bad, and he ran. As Oddity watched the whole thing in shock, while Harold turned to see his past self and his family watching the whole thing as his past self watched in disgust. After that Harold just want to forget about the whole thing.

"Owen's childhood, maybe we should start there." said Oddity.

"I hope you're right." said Harold as he and Oddity ran to catch up the past Owen.

"Oh wait, maybe you won't find the detective from my past self." Owen giggled.


Kaguya did an incantation like the one back from Eostia, she did the hand signs and said the incantation, and this made the Auxiliary Riders sleep.

And once they woke up, they found themselves floating in East Liverpool and they landed safely to the ground and this got the attention of Owen.

"Are we in East Liverpool?" asked Trenderhoof.

"No, we're in Owen's East Liverpool." Sugarcoat answered.

And then a bunch of shadows merged and it rosed up to giant size and Owen came out of the shadow.

"Hey, what are you doing here!? No Shadowbolts allowed!" said Owen.

"Where's Pan!" yelled Neon.

"You went into my mind! I thought I was the crazy one." Owen mocked.

"Shut up, and tell us where she is!" Sunny growled.

"Come on, enjoy the fun. And be careful of the hazards." then he threw a nail and it's heading towards the Riders, so they caught out of the way but Sunny tripped. As it looks like it was the end of her, but she wasn't crushed. She opened her eyes and saw Owen who is inches away from Sunny.

"Try all you want, but I'll never talk." Owen grinned.

Then Sunny crawled away from him and the Riders escaped.

"Maybe we can find a place where he makes plans." Lemon suggested.

"That won't be hard to find." Neon pointed, they turned and spotted a makeshift factory of Owen's plans.

They went in and to their shock and frustration, the plans that Owen came up are all in big file cabinets. But they searched anyway, that's where Sugarcoat found a file cabinet with the letter P on it.

"P for Pan." said Sugarcoat. Then she opened it, but the cabinet went passed her and to her annoyance is that the cabinet if filled drawings, so she closed the cabinet in frustration.

"No, P for paint." The Auxiliary Riders heard a voice. "Let me guess, you guys are looking for the detective." They turned and saw the person who was talking.

"Hey, you're..." spoked Neon. And the the Riders surprise, they spotted Owen who was a gamer before he met Origa.

"The only shadow of his form self left in this crazy place." said Past Owen. "It's my down time. I just want to clear my head from all the stuff I've been doing." he said.

"We want to know about the detective." Lemon demanded.

"That's top secret. You don't know what he'll do to me." Past Owen said in fear.

"Come on, she's in danger." said Sunny. So Owen's former self has to come clean.

"This factory is a dead end, you want to go to new plans, around the corner to your-,"

"Ruining surprises, eh." Owen's voice said.

And then the floor opened and Past Owen fell down screaming as he plunged into Origa's staff, and the current Owen came out.

"This place is warm, dive in." said Owen.

But then, they started to get scary flashes of Melissa. After that frightful vision, they went into the new plans room.

"You better hurry, times running out."

That's where the floor opened and the Riders fell down.


"And how did you cope with neglect from your family." Oddity said to Past Owen. Then out of nowhere, the Auxiliary Riders came down.

"What are you kids doing here?" Harold asked.

"We're looking for the detective as well." said Trenderhoof.

"I'm not sure it's a wise idea." Oddity spoke. "You're only putting yourselves at risk by rescuing a life." he said.

"Come on!" Then Owen appeared in many mirrors. "I'm the master of this world here, so I get to decide." said Owen and he came out of one mirror and he pushed Harold and Oddity into another mirror. And they've been transported to another part of Owen's memory where he first met Origa.


The Auxiliary Riders came out of the building and spotted the opera house.

"Didn't Owen said he hates opera music," said Lemon.

"I hope you know you're right." said Sugarcoat.

Then they went into the makeshift opera and spotted Owen singing in a sad clown costume.

Suddenly, the lights went out and the spotlight turned on, and a box appeared on stage.

"Oh, no! Melissa doesn't have much time will she be doomed?" then a the puppets of the Riders appeared, and are walking towards the box. Will the Shadowbolts rescue her in time? What do you think!?"

Then the box exploded, where the puppet Melissa fell down, and the lights turned back on and many Owens appeared laughing. Then a puppet Oddity appeared with the burned puppet Shadowbolts.

"So the Shadowbolts failed to save the detective and Oddity is helping them coat their failure that drove them nuts!" then a cuckoo clock was heard to prove Owen's point.

Then the Owen's starting to laugh again, they turned and spotted the costume wearing Owen laughing at them. Having enough, Neon grabbed Owen by the collar.

"Where's Pan!?" Neon demanded. But Owen and the other Owens continue to laugh. Then more flashes of Melissa appeared again. "I said, where's Pan!?" he yelled, and in a fit of rage. Neon threw Owen to the ground, and the Owens stopped laughing and began to glare at the Riders.

"This place is a bee hive." said Owen. Then the Owen's began to surround the Riders. "How many Shadowbolts does it take to screw in a light bulb? Don't know, because they're trying to tighten loose screws." he joked, and he and the Owens began to laugh. Then more flashes of Melissa appeared, and then the Riders started to laugh.

Kaguya is struggling to hold the incantation just as the Riders are laughing in their sleep, much to the worry of the Warriors.

"This is not good." said Beardsley in worry.

"They're going crazy." said Connor as the Riders kept laughing.


The Riders were still surrounded by Owens as they laugh, until they stopped and spotted Connor.

"Guys! You gotta snap out of it!" said Connor. And with a little help the Auxiliary Riders came to their senses, and burst through the Owens, but they were caught by a bunch of strings.

And then they were picked up the Owen who is big.

"Give it up Shadowbolts, in my mind, I'm king." said Owen.

"You're only a servant to Origa," said Sugarcoat. "Now tell us where Detective Pan is?" she said.

"You can't force me to talk." Owen said to Sugarcoat.

"Oh we'll make you talk, even if we have to give you a headache!" growled Lemon.

"Then I'll send you somewhere you'll never escape." Then Owen ate them.

Then the Riders appeared to be in a dark room and they started to shiver from the cold. And then they spotted a ghostly appearance of Detective Pan with a sad look on her face.

"Why didn't you save me?"

"Welcome to my mind." Owen appeared. "And you're finally here where you should've belong...juvie!" then the lights went out to appear that the Riders are in a cell block.

"That's right! You're now in here that's deep with no escape." Owen left leaving the Riders helpless.

"Come on," Sugarcoat spoke. "It's like that Planet Government mind machine, so it's supposed to be a two-way transmission." she explained.

Then she grabbed the floor and ripped it off, revealing a hole on the ground. Owen turned to know what happened, but Neon grabbed him and they both fell down to the hole.


Owen woke up and saw that he's back in the asylum.

"Did you find her?" asked Muntz

"Yeah, we found her." said Tommy and Melissa appeared, much to Owen's shock

"How is this possible?" said Owen.

"Thanks for saving my life Doctor Oddity." Melissa said to Oddity.

"No! You weren't to find her! I didn't talk!" Owen yelled.

"No, you didn't say anything." said Oddity. "But while your mind was occupied with those children I was able to know the truth from your subconscious." he explained.

"All you said that opera music was boring, how the actors sang those songs, and the audience enjoying it." said Harold.

"You had opera on the brain." Oddity finished.

"Yeah, you pulled the detective from under the opera symphony hall stage." said Owen. But he was confused about the answers they said. "Wait a minute."

Then four Connors came out from behind everyone's backs.

"Thanks." said the Connors much to Owen's shock, and the room became dark.

"Where am I!?" questioned Owen. Then Connor appeared up in the air, maybe Connor must've asked Kaguya to join the Auxiliary Riders.

"Welcome to my mind!" said Connor as he landed.

Owen tried to attack him, but Connor blocked his attack and pushed him. Then Connor pointed his sword at Owen and a bunch of dragons charged and rammed at Owen which sends him out of his mind.

Then Connor and the Auxiliary Riders woke up.

"Guys, are you OK?" asked Vault.

"I know where he's keeping the detective." said Connor.


The Warriors went into the opera as Melissa only has seconds left.

10...9...8...7...

The Warriors ran to the stage in a hurry.

6...5...

They opened the trap door and they jumped through it.

4...3...2...

Kaguya threw her star which cut the wiring of the bomb. Then Melissa was launched out of the box and Vault caught her.

"Gotcha." Vault smirked.


Later, the monsters freed Owen and took him back to the cave. As Owen was lying down and thinking about his family with a sad sigh.

"Tears of a child. The rage behind his armor." said Oddity as he was at his office. "Tonight, I glimpsed of Owen's vengeance, there are more roads to cross. Before I can get to the other side." he said, as he moved the newspaper section of Owen and to see the newspaper section of the Warriors, where it seems that he now has some thoughts about the Warriors next.
