-Chapter 7: Runaway Spiralstripe-
After the arcade closed, the racers had gone to get their dragons for dragon training class. However, one of the dragons was missing… Spiralstripe. "Where'd my dragon go? Has anyone seen Spiralstripe? Anyone?" It was no use. No matter how hard Swizzle tried, he couldn't find his dragon. All hope seemed lost until he had noticed some footprints in the direction of Game Central Station. "Of course! He went to another game, why didn't I think of that?"
Swizzle made it to Game Central Station. Maybe he could ask the Surge Protector if he had seen Spiralstripe? "Hello sir… have you seen a green dragon with blue stripes recently? If so, where did he go?" "Yes I have, Swizzle. I saw him go to Hero's Duty. He hasn't come back since…" Swizzle was shocked to find that his dragon had decided to explore a dangerous game like that one. He even feared the fact that a cy-bug could have eaten Spiralstripe. "Hero's Duty? You've got to be kidding me!"
"Well, I'm not kidding… like I said, he hasn't come back since. He could have been ea-" "EATEN BY A CY-BUG!? That makes it even worse…" Swizzle then ran off to find his dragon, even though it was probably too late…
Swizzle had arrived in Hero's Duty. "Spiralstripe?" His dragon was nowhere in sight. "Spiralstripe? Where are you?" However, all that remained was a single blue dragon scale. "Spiralstripe…" Swizzle began to cry. A shadow appeared on the ground. Was that him? Swizzle looked at the sky. All there was was a lone cy-bug, hovering in the sky. It seemed to come closer. "Wait… is that you?" The creature landed and screeched. "Spiralstripe! I was wondering where you were…" Swizzle ran up to the monstrously large creature and hugged its leg.
The reunion was cut short by the sound of footsteps. "Quick, hide somewhere…" The two flew below the bridge. Swizzle heard a voice, followed by another familiar voice. "Did anyone happen to see that dragon creature fly into our game?" "What creature? It could have been just a cy-bug." "I'm not kidding. It was green with blue stripes… it wasn't a cy-bug." "Then what was it?" "A dragon, ma'am."
The dragon cy-bug let out a shriek until Swizzle shushed him. "Shshshshhh, don't let them know we're here…"
"Shhh, did you hear that? What if it's the dragon?" "Markowski! Stop being silly. That was obviously a cy-bug." It wouldn't be long until the dragon would want to attack. After all, it was part cy-bug now. The dragon decided to take flight. "Woah woah woah, where are you going? Wait- AAAAAAAH!" Swizzle screamed.
"Wait, I think I heard someone screaming…" Spiralstripe flew upwards, landed on the bridge, and shrieked loudly. "CY-BUG!" The army of soldiers began firing their weapons at the dragon creature. Swizzle was downright terrified. "Spiralstripe! Stop! No no no, what do you think you're doing? STOP!" The dragon stopped attacking for a second. "Let's get out of here! Now, Spiralstripe!" The creature ran for the exit and flew to Game Central Station. "We can't let that cy-bug escape…"
Spiralstripe and Swizzle flew back home as quickly as possible. Surge Protector appeared. "Name…?" He was shocked to see a cy-bug fly into Sugar Rush. "Oh no… not again…"
