A young boy finished his school days and walked with his friends for a while at the direction of his home as always. It was a normal afternoon in this normal life. When they reached the park, he said good-bye to his friends as always and they parted away. The boy walked in the park as always because it was a short cut. He didn't want to be late for his training. His mother was strict toward him, but the boy knew his mother cared for him. She was the one giving the discipline in the house and not his father. The normal walk in the park ended when he heard a loud sound. The few peoples presented in the park walked away from there and deserted the park, wondering if a wild animal was present. The boy would have done that if he was like the others, but he was an adventurous boy who often looked around when something interesting could happen. He wasn't an idiot either; he knew that the park was safe just as the town was. If it was risky, he wouldn't have taken the risk. He walked in the forest at the source of the sound and saw a few holes in the ground. He also saw some claw around the holes. He felt it was a little risky to go further, but he heard someone shouting. He acted like he always did, he ran at the direction of the shout in case someone needed help.

What surprised him was that when he reached the location, he had a tall dragon in front of him, eyes closed and trying to stand up. He didn't know what to say or do. Something that wasn't supposed to exist was right in front of him. He didn't feel fear in him, but he didn't want to face it. It was then, before the boy could turn away that the dragon opened his eyes and their glare closed. The boy passed the turning point and his normal life ended right now.

Chapter 3: Crossing path: Gao and Drum

Fang Slade looked at the boy and said nothing for a few seconds. He saw that the boy had peach skin, amber eyes looking at him, with black hair with a few red strand of hair. He wore a red shirt with a yellow sun of it with an opened blue jacket, a blue pant and his hands were covered with white bandage, but Fang Slade didn't saw any sign of injury under the bandage.

He was expecting the boy to run away from him, but the boy slowly walked closer after he observed his injured chest. Fang Slade decided to be cautious by telling him: "Don't come any closer," the boy stopped and looked in the eyes of the dragon. The dragon felt himself losing strength and reconsidered his caution. It was useless to be careful, he might die of blood lost and his cards were useless: "What's the point. You can understand me right?"

The boy replied: "Yes. I understand you. You need help right now."

Fang Slade sighted and said: "I didn't know that. I have nothing to patch myself and you don't have anything to help me."

The boy thought about it and took out his jacket. He walked closer and gave it to the dragon: "You should put this on."

Fang Slade hesitated for a few seconds and accepted. He picked the jacket and covered his injury, it was just enough to completely covering it. The bleeding slow down, but it wasn't enough. It just gave him time. The dragon mind was starting to get a little foggy and his thought became confused.

"Can I do anything else to help you?" the boy asked, feeling the urgency of the situation.

Fang Slade thought about it, but his mind was slower than usual. He had a flash in his mind when he finally remembered that the boy named Tasuku could use the spell card. As he spoke what was in his mind, he realised that his mouth was a little heavy: "Yes. There is a-a way."

"How?" the boy asked.

He's not...a normal kid. Fang Slade thought before replying: "There is...a spell c-card that could h-heal me on th-the ground."

The boy looked on the ground and saw a few cards. He doubted it could work, but there was nothing else he could do anyway. He tried finding it, but none of them made sense.

"The one t-to your l-left," Fang Slade told them boy. The boy looked to his left and picked a card: "No. The other...other one," the boy did that and heard: "That's the one. It's a card spell called...d-Draconic medic."

"Draconic medic...You want to use it?" the boy said walking closer to the dragon.

"N-no...I...I can't. E-ex-later," Fang Slade said aware he didn't have time: "Raise. Shout. Dra-draconic m-medic."

The boy looked at the car and said hesitantly: "I don't think I-"

"Hurry," Fang Slade weakly cut him.

The boy did as the dragon told. He was sure that nothing would happen, but seeing a dragon here was something that never happened before in his life, he decided to trust him and do as he was asked: "Draconic medic."

The card shined in the hand of the boy and the light came out of the card and landed on the injured chest of Fang Slade. The cut disappeared and the strength came back. Fang Slade stood up and flexed his body: "Feel alive once again," he joyfully commented. He looked at the boy and said: "Thank you."

The boy was looked at the dragon without saying anything for a second before coming back to reality: "It's the least I can do," he replied with a smile.

Fang Slade told the boy and said: "Did you see a green dragon?"

"No. There's another one here?" the boy asked interested in this.

"Yes. He's the one who almost got me for good," he said looked in the sky and trying to sniff the dragon. Nothing came in his nose, but he couldn't find him.

The boy wanted to ask why he was there, but he didn't ask it because he felt the dragon desire to remain silent about his reason: "I'm Gao Mikado."

Fang Slade looked at the boy and knew he should reply. He wanted to say his name and title, but after what happened against Jackknife, he didn't felt worthy of giving him his real name. It was the name he always gave when he was in the Dragon world. He gave him his other name: "Drum Bunker Dragon."

"Drum Bunker Dragon. I'm glad you are alright and-" Gao was cut a sound resonated.

Drum heard it and picked hid drill as fast as he could and looked around: "What is that?"

"My cellphone," Gao replied. He put his hand in his pocket and searched for it.

"Cell- What?" Drum asked confused.

Gao took out his cellphone and answer: "Hello t-"

"GAO MIKADO! YOU ARE LATE FOR YOUR TRAINING AGAIN!" Gao gasped surprised when he heard her. Even Drum heard it and wasn't liking whoever was talking.

"I'm sorry mom! I was just helpi-"

"NEVER MIND THAT! COME HOME RIGHT NOW!" his mother ordered.

"Okay!" Gao replied. He hanged up.

"That's a cellphone?" Drum asked, not wanting to enter in the subject of the one talking to the boy.

"Got to go! My mother is furious!" Gao shouted, giving back the card he used before waving his hand and running on his way home.

Drum was left by himself confused by what he just saw and thought about it. "N-never mind that. I have to find Findar the 100th," he said as he picked his cards and put them back on his shoulder armor. "I cannot fail my mission. Now that I know what he can do with this Tasuku, I have to fight him cautiously this time."

Gao reached his home and was exhausted. He knew he was in trouble despite how fast he came back, but the sooner was the better.

"Hello dad! Hello sis!" he shouted rushing to the dojo of the house.

"Hi big bro!" his sister shouted from another room with admiration for him.

Gao reached the dojo and faced his mother. She wasn't happy at all that he was late and Gao couldn't tell the true. No one would believe he saw a dragon named Drum Bunker Dragon anyway. She had peach skin like the rest of the family blue eyes and her hairs were the same color. She currently wore her white kimono with the black belt. She was the sensei of the dojo.

"Sorry I'm late mom!" Gao shouted bowing toward her.

His mother showed no mercy: "Gao! You are going to do 100 push-ups and 100 set-ups for being late," she said with her commanding voice.

Gao hesitated to reply and finally answered without a lot of motivation, feeling tired already: "Okay mom."

Drum flew in the sky with his wing cape and the thrusters of his drill and tried to find the location of Jackknife. To his disappointment, he didn't smell anything at all. He looked to his left and to his right and sighted. The sun in the sky slowly went down and the night was coming in. Drum flew on the roof of the highest building and sat on it.

I searched everywhere in this down and I cannot smell or see him anywhere. He managed to hide his presence. He...He must have that spell card. Of course he has it. Every fugitive must have this spell card if they want to escape the other dragons. Dammit. In the end, I did all of this for nothing. I better get home before the squad come back tomorrow. Also, my father will be furious if he knew I failed to capture Findar. Hum... Drum thought about how to return to the dragon world. He gasped when he realised something and said it out loud: "How can I come back to my own world?! I didn't think of that. I don't know where any gate at all here and I don't have anything else for that. I really came here for nothing and will end up in big trouble," he sighted loudly. His stomach grunted loudly: "And I'm hungry. What now?" I know absolutely nothing of this world. I can't do anything and- Wait. Drum searched in his armor and felt a tissue under it. Maybe there is something I can do. He took it out and it was the jacket the boy named Gao gave it to him. He looked at it and smelt it. The stench of the boy is still there. I think I have a temporary solution to this problem.

He smiled as he thought of his plan, opened his wings and flew at the park where he last saw Gao.
