Unless you know a lot about Dragon Mania Legends, I suggest that you open its wikia page just in case you want to learn about a certain dragon.
Just outside New York City lived a clan of dragons from a faraway land known as Dragolandia. These dragons used to battle vikings, but now they live peacefully in the outskirts of Manhattan. These aren't your ordinary dragons. These dragons come in all shapes and sizes, and have several different elements.
There are eight body styles of these dragons that we'll mention; Anserine, Leonine, Reptilian, Serpentine, Upright, Ursine, and Winged. And there are eleven elements; Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Plant, Energy, Metal, Void, Light, Shadow, and Legendary. One dragon can have a maximum number of three elements. The dragons with one element, also known as base dragons, are known as OneClan, hence having one element.
The Anserine-style dragons are graceful quadrupeds with long necks, wings, a long tail, and forelimbs that are slightly longer than their hind limbs. The wings on these Dragons stem from the front limbs as opposed to the side of the body. An example is Ogopa the Light Dragon. She has a luminous yellow body and bright blue spines on her head and tail. Her front legs are wings. Next to the glowing blue belly is a bright white band. Ogopa has luminous yellow wings, with feathers. Near the claws feathers have a blue color, and then they turn white-bluish. On the head and tail end, she has yellow outgrowths that resemble feathers. Ogopa also has yellow armor on her back. Hind legs yellow, but near the fingers become white-bluish. She has fourteen blue claws. The head and tail end near the outgrowth become snow-white. This dragon has yellowish-white eyes with hardly noticeable outlines of pupils. Around the eyes is a black border. Ogopa is one of the two females in OneClan. She uses the emitting light from her body to temporarily blind her opponents. She is a very gentle dragon with a kind heart and isn't afraid to speak her mind.
The Leonine-style Dragons are quadrupedal predators that have a large forebody with a smaller hip section allowing them to crouch and pounce quickly. What better example than the clan's overall leader, Clash the Earth Dragon. He has brown, cracked skin with a yellow underbelly. He has three white claws on each of its paws. A natural born leader, much like Leonardo, Clash has drept of being leader since he was a baby. He understands the pressure of being a leader, especially in a clan as big as this one.
Another Leonine-style dragon is Trojan the Rhino is a large horn on his snout with a slightly smaller immediately behind it between the brows. On each of the back-sides of the head are two horns, a large one above a smaller one. He has a gray body with a dark orange chest and underside. The shoulders each have progressively larger horns running in a row from front to back. Trojan is significantly less impulsive than Raphael, but he can still rush into battle without a plan. A very formidable opponent in battle. Outside of battle, he is a rather laid-back guy.
The Reptilian-style Dragons have elongated bodies that parallel the ground and taper slightly all the way out to the tip of the tail. These Dragons are finned and can usually travel on land as well as in the water. The slowest dragon outside of battle is Banzai the Water Dragon. He is blue with finned ears, two horns, and three rows of parallel spinal plates. Sadly, we can't deny the fact that Banzai isn't the smartest dragon around. In battle, however, he can slip through anything, making him a difficult opponent to catch. He can be a big derp sometimes, but otherwise reliable.
The Serpentine-style Dragons are typically limbless and have a thin elongated body that coils up from the midsection to the tip of the tail. Ramsey the Wind Dragon is a great example. Her body is sky blue with an alice blue underbelly. Ramsey also has a vivid yellow iris encompassed in her black eyes with wisp-like "hairs" extending from her head. In the beginning, Ramsey wasn't in the clan because there would be two blue dragons. Clash realized his mistake, and now Ramsey is a OneClan dragon. She is aggressive in battle, but she knows better than to just rush in without a plan or strategy. Ramsey and Ogopa are the only females in OneClan.
The Upright-style Dragons travel on two feet, with their bodies vertical to the ground while the tail remains parallel. There are two of these dragons, one of them being Slade the Plant Dragon. He consists of green, leaf textured skin while having leaves growing on the sides of his face and back. Slade also has deep violet eyes and a purple berry-like orb on his tail. Slade isn't very ambitious. Normally, he tries to stay out of trouble. A little insecure, but vicious in battle.
There wouldn't be a dragon that would be better at distracting than Norman the Void Dragon. He is teal blue with pink wings/underbelly, red eyes, and stands on his two hind legs. Norman has a rather strange mouth, as his upper lip is larger and covers most of the lower jaw. This gives his mouth a resemblance to the bill of a duck. Atop his head sits a webbed fin, the flaps in between being a dark teal color. Norman's wings are also quite strange, as from the bottom extends an extra appendage that doesn't seem to aid Norman with flying at all; it is simply an appendage with some flaps the same color as the ones in the actual wings on each side of the appendage. His body is dotted with light blue scales here and there, and the claws on his feet and hands are the same color as his underbelly. Norman is proud of his appearance and isn't afraid to show it off.
The Ursine-style Dragons travel upright on two feet. They have broad shoulders, a stocky body, thick short limbs and a stubby tail. Other features sometimes include bat-like wings or thick horns. The second slowest dragon in OneClan, Rufus the Shadow Dragon. He has a black body with birdlike beak with some teeth sticking out. Like Norman, Rufus has a second pair of wings, but, sadly, he also can't fly. He's a bit of a prankster, but he rarely pulls pranks on his peers. Secretly, Rufus has a crush on Ogopa. Only Clash knows about this.
The Winged-style Dragons have an elongated body that tapers down to the tip of the tail and are capable of flight. There's not one, not two, but three dragons in OneClan that are Winged-style. One of them is Clash's deputy, Kevin the Fire Dragon. His body is red all over with a beige colored underbelly. He has three black claws on both of his hands and feet and three yellow horns, two on the back of his head and one above his nose. Kevin also has a glowing flame on his head and tail that flickers as he moves. Kevin used to have the worst temper of all the dragons, but now he's a lot more level headed. Kevin also understands the pressure of being a leader, and helps Clash in leading in any way he can, like a deputy should.
If you want someone with a lot of energy, keep an eye out for Tango the Energy Dragon. He is bright yellow with neon blue wings, horns, and eyes. The wings, horns, and the tip of his tail all have glowing, blue electricity coursing through them. Tango isn't as hyper as his name implies. But he is somewhat restless, almost never sleeping at night. Useful if there's a need for a midnight patrol.
And last, but not least, the outgoing Rusty the Metal Dragon. He is encompassed by a layered metallic body that shimmers in given light. He also has blue eyes, numerous spikes down his spine, and three sharp horns; two on the back of his head and one above his nose. Rusty is slightly heavier than he looks. But he's a very agile dragon, his signature attack being a powerful headbutt. Rusty loves loud music and crowded places, but he can't stand losing to anyone. He's not a very sore loser, though.
Now, let's get started with the interesting part. Gamma the Leopard Dragon, a Leonine-style dragon, made it back to clan territory before anyone noticed. Nobody even knew he was gone. Perfect. He begins to wonder if he should tell the other about the new mutant friends he made. No, not now. Besides, they might think he's crazy or something. He's better off not telling anyone, except maybe his dimwitted adoptive brother, Dashie the Polar Bear Dragon, an Ursine-style dragon that also can't fly despite having wings (made of ice). He has trouble remembering things, so he's pretty much the only choice Gamma has.
The next morning, the clan dragons are up and about. Like usual, Clash spends most of his morning checking on the dragons in his clan, starting with the Stout-style dragons. Those dragons have plump bodies and short legs. Typically the slowest of the dragons, they stay in clan territory, guarding it of any possible invaders. The job isn't as boring as it sounds.
The Winged-style dragons, usually Kevin, Tango, and Rusty, scout from the skies for a morning report. Kevin lands first, followed by Tango and Rusty. "All is well, nothing to report." Kevin says. "Good." Clash says. "The city has gone through rough times lately. I'm just glad everything's okay after the Kraang's ultimate defeat."
"I could've obliterated them, but they beat me to it." Ramsey says, half upset. "Eh. What're you gonna do."
"But," Tango politely interrupts. "We should mention that we saw a black cat with wings fly past us." Clash looks skeptical. "A black cat with wings? Have you been hallucinating again?" Upon hearing that sentence from his leader, Tango can't help but feel a little offended. ''It was no hallucination, let me assure you. I don't make things up."
"I saw it, too." Kevin says, deciding to get involved. Clash can't argue with his most trusted ally. "Must've been a mutant, then. From my personal experiences with mutants, most of them are friendly. Others, you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone."
"I agree with you, Clash." A voice says. The dragons look up to see a white belly of a cat with dragon wings hovering over them. Kirā. He lands on a tree, in everyone's line of sight. Nobody reacts much. "And who might this be?" Rufus asks, already suspicious about the scary looking mutant trespassing in dragon territory. "Oh, don't sound so inhospitable. I simply came here because I could use some help."
"You're Kirā, the cat from hell, aren't you?" Clash asks. "You're correct, my skin-cracked friend."
"Well, I'm afraid we want nothing to do with you." Someone says. A red scaled dragon a light cream underbelly, and an amber colored 'crown' and webbed tail tip. He has an amber scale above his eye that looks like an eyebrow. He also has a dark, kohl-like outline around his brown eyes. It's Dexter the Boiling Dragon, one of the Finned-style dragons. They have an elongated body that tapers slightly to the tip of the tail. The upper body stands vertically while the lower body runs parallel to the ground. The Dragons have fins, as opposed to arms and legs, and can usually travel on land as well as in the water. Dexter doesn't take kindly to trespassers at all, and is somewhat cynical. "You're known for your murderous nature. And for murderous mutants like you, we don't want anything to do with you."
"Ah, I used to be known for my murderous nature, Dex. But I've turned over a new leaf years ago. And I don't find you very intimidating." Kirā says, unfazed by Dexter's statement. Dexter just growls. Ogopa steps in front of him. "Give him a shot, Dex. What is it that you need our help with?" She asks. "Well, if you must know... Do you ever miss living in the city, where it's more occupied?"
"A little bit..." Clash answers hesitantly. "Aren't you sick and tired of all those Pokémon taking over the streets of New York? Think about it. Ever since the feud between the two lots of you ended, they took the city, and left you poor reptiles with nothing."
The dragons had to think on that one. That is partially true. "And let's not forget those mutants, and the humans that live there. They care more about the Pokémon than the lot of you. They don't even know who you are. But I have the utmost respect for you. I believe that you all should be roaming the streets."
"That would be cool... But we're happy where we are right now." Slade says, his tail wagging slightly. "Hm. Maybe you're happy here. What about the rest of us, eh?" Trojan asks. "Well, now that this cat mentions it, we could use a bigger piece of territory." Norman admits. "Yeah. Besides, I'll bet that nice yellow tiger guy wouldn't mind." Banzai says, his tongue hanging out.
Kirā has to think of a plan fast. After all, this is his plan to overthrow Marcel and get rid of all the Pokémon in New York. And let's not forget those turtles. He wants the city to himself to rule, and just wait until the Kraang return to wreak havoc on the streets on top of that. When he was held hostage by the Kraang with Newtralizer, he made a deal with the Kraang that they's spare his life for assistance with the invasion. And getting rid of all the Pokémon can help. But he can't do it alone. And if anyone is guaranteed to get in the way of the Kraang's full-scale invasion, it's Marcel. And by the time the dragons find out about his plan, it'll be too late.
"Oh, about him. You might wanna stay away from him." Kirā says. All of the dragons turn to him. "And why not? He's the hero that saved the city from an invasion." Gamma says, not letting this feline mutant prove him wrong. "I should know. I helped him. He's a nice guy."
"This will be the last time you help him, Gamma. He's not what people say he is." Clash is listening, but he's not ready to believe him yet. But the description Kirā gives is so unbelievable that it's convincing.
"He'll say anything to save himself. He claims he'll do anything to protect those Pokémon. But he'll care more about those filthy mutant turtles than anything else. He doesn't care about any of you, he only cares for himself! And after they presumably stopped the invasion, he's weak. And no doubt those turtles will grow overconfident and lazy. For that reason alone, I think now is the time to take what's rightfully yours. Take down that tiger, get rid of those monsters roaming the streets, and take the city for yourself!"
Almost all of the dragons roar in approval, those including the OneClan dragons. Gamma is the only one who's not roaring. He doesn't believe Kirā about what he said about Marcel. But arguing with him would probably get him in trouble, so he said nothing.
Kirā leaps down from the tree he's been sitting on the entire time and begins singing.
I know that their Special Defense stats
Are as bad as a Magikarp's Speed,
Laika, a Hyena Dragon, a Leonine-style dragon, chews on a bone, not giving the singing mutant his full attention.
But thick as you are, pay attention!
Kirā knocks the bone out of Laika's paws. He straightens up, sitting, now giving Kirā his undivided attention.
My words aren't matters of greed.
It's clear from their vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs,
But I'm talking clans and successions
Banzai is somewhat laughing, not caring about Kirā singing.
Even you can't be caught unawares.
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime,
Be prepared for sensational news,
A shining new era, is tiptoeing nearer,
Clash steps next to him. "And where do we feature?" Kirā pushes him away slightly.
Just listen to teacher,
I know it sounds sordid, but you'll be rewarded,
When at last you are given your dues,
And injustice deliciously squared, be prepared!
"Be prepared for what, exactly?" Trojan asks irritably. "For Marcel's downfall." Kirā answers. Dashie jumps up to him. "Why, is he sick?" Half annoyed, Kirā grabs him by the wing. "No, you idiot, I'm assigning you to kill him. And those turtles." Kirā explains, dropping Dashie. "We defeat. We don't kill." Clash states. Kirā rolls his eyes. "Kill, defeat, whatever you must do! Exile those Pokémon from the city, and you'll never see them or that tiger again!" Gamma still doesn't believe him, but everyone else did.
It's great that we'll soon be a-thriving
In a land of urbanization.
Of course, quid pro quo, they're expecting,
To have a late realization,
The future is littered with prizes,
And though I'm the main addressee,
The point that I must emphasize is,
You won't get a sniff without thee!
Kirā spreads his wings and takes flight, with all of the Winged-style dragons behind him as he rallies his troops.
So prepare for the coup of the century,
Be prepared for the murkiest scam,
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning, decades of denial,
You'll enter this trial, and win undisputed, respected, saluted,
And seen for the wonders you are!
When your teeth and ambitions are bared, we're prepared!
When our teeth and ambitions are bared, we're prepared!
Kirā cackles evilly as the dragons down below and around him roar victoriously. "Take over the city in all it's glory! Show those Pokémon what dragons can do!" Kirā roars. Unbeknownst to him, Gamma escaped from the territory while Kirā was singing his little musical number. He had to tell Marcel that his entire clan is being lead by a vengeful mutant cat. No doubt he'd believe him.
"Wait." A gruff voice stops Gamma in his tracks. He looks behind him to see a Serpentine-style dragon with white fur, brown horns, and yellow eyes. It's Lupé the Werewolf Dragon, one of the only Serpentine dragons with limbs. Just a baby, though. "I'll go. You'll get in trouble if you get caught with that tiger."
"And what about you?"
"Eh, it's not like I've ever listened to anyone, anyway. You stay. I'll go warn this tiger."
"Thank you, Lupé." Gamma says before going back to the territory. Lupé bolted out of the territory silently without detection. Lupé wishes it didn't have to come to this, but if Gamma got caught, he'd be forbidden to leave the territory, or worse. If this Werewolf Dragon was to get caught, since he was already adamant as it was, he might not get punished.
Let's just hope the light of the moon says it's not too late.
