Little note here: Sorry bout that wait, if anyone's reading this still, but I put XP on the computer, and I needed to buy something to access '.net' sites. I'm on my grandparents' computer right now, using a jump drive. By the way, the two racers named Kitt and Artha are not OCs. For those of you who know DB, this is set before "The Changelings" to emphasize the whole "I didn't know how hard it was to be you" theme. Whines to start abusing Artha He is such an idiot!
DC (disclaimer): I don't own Storm Hawks / Dragon Booster, or the quotes from… a song.
Can anyone guess what song/ artist this is? I'll come up with some prize to the one who gets the most. Get both for 1 point. Give the album for an extra ½ point. Both quotes from one chapter are from the same song. I can re-use the same song. Please don't look up the lyrics, no one likes a cheater. This one's pretty easy:
Chapter 5: Connections"I used to roll the dice,
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes"
Finn reached behind himself for his crossbow, but it was back on his broken down skimmer. Indygo had another idea. She roared loudly, in three long notes, each higher than the last, and slammed into the grate that separated them from the sniggering teen.
Down in the air vents, Spytfyr twitched.
"What's wrong?" Aerrow placed a hand on her shivering shoulder.
"Nothing…" Her dull eyes slowly grew brighter, but she twitched Aerrow's hand off, and they returned to their original state. "Faster." She galloped past Piper, pushing her into Aerrow.
The purple dragon looked down at the two. "We'll never keep up with her with you two laying there." He looked at Piper. "Who are you again?"
Shadow Town; Energy
The teen had the thrashing Indygo mag-tethered to his dragon, but the dragon's mad was gold. The energy surged through Finn, and he started playing with it, holding it in his hand and then crushing it, causing a small explosion. He knew not of the power he held, or would hold.
Precinct; But…
"He's… gone" Aerrow stared at the cell in which the guard's map said he would be in. The tight fabric was beginning to be pierced by the sharp tips of Aerrow's shoulder armor. Spytfyr nudged him with her nose and her eyes glowed again. She broke down, crumpling to the concrete floor. "Spytfyr!" everyone gasped. Aerrow knelt down beside her, hand on her neck.
She grunted, and bared her teeth, but her eyes flared open, shining… She bolted up and roared, pushing the Sky-knight back, but somehow, the noise didn't affect Arrow. She calmed down, hanging her head weakly.
"What happened?"
"Ya know… I don't know. I've heard of it…" She came to a realization. "What color are my eyes?" Without waiting, she whipped around and gazed into the shining plate of armor at her side… "Green… No wonder we're called Platinum Protector Class." She sighed. This was not going to be easy…
Somewhere in the hallway, an alarm went off.
"Let's go." Derek said calmly
Work Town; Going up…
"How much farther? How fast are we going? Who are you? What's this thing? Where are we? This place smells funny. I'm hungry." Endless complaints issued from the younger teen's mouth as the rider tried to grin and bear it, and tugged on the lead on Indygo.
"Not far… 150 mph… Mind your own… a dragon… Dragon City… I don't care… I still don't care… Kitt! Take this kid back to the stables! He's driving me insane" The rider yelled, summoning his teammate. The red dragon trotted over, and the rider… the rider… Finn couldn't keep from staring. And she looked back!
'For once…' Piper would have said.
"And he is?" The newcomer asked.
"Some guy I picked up nabbing Indygo."
"I still don't understand why she was in there. She's a freedom fighter of all of Atmos."
"Me neither." Artha was actually intelligent for once, admitting there was something he didn't think he knew. "I guess it was because she was caught—"
"Hey, hi dude and dudette, who are you two?"
"Better yet, who are you?" The one on the blue and red dragon asked quickly.
"Hold on…" the one called Kitt slowed her supposed leader. She led her dragon around to behind Finn, his eyes following her, then twisting his neck and shoulders. "I know that symbol. Spytfyr told me about you. You're a Storm Hawk! You're too young though, to be of the originals. You should go see her; she has things from the first squadron."
Artha growled "I told you to stay away from her. She has something against me."
"Yes, she does. But she doesn't have anything against me. With her own words in a battle, 'He's too much of a hotshot for my liking, running around on the gold dragon he thinks is his, but I don't much like people who overuse their partners, the dragons, and then claim all the credit, even though the dragon did most of the work.' Right, Wyldfyr?"
Her red dragon looked up and nodded.
"C'mon Beau, let's go get back to the stables."
"Hey, stable brat! Don't think I can't hear you! It won't work; I've already alerted Krystall. " Indygo roared, "If only I hadn't come to visit her, I wouldn't be being dragged around by an insolent little ant like you!"
"Let's leave those two alone. They tend to fight for hours. Do you know how to mag?"
"Ya mean that gold energy?"
"You know Beau is gold?" Kitt raised her eyebrows so they nearly disappeared beneath her helmet.
"Yeah, what of it?"
"Nothing." Finn knew Kitt was hiding something. He wasn't that dense.
"One minute I held the key,
Next the walls are closed on me"
Hello again. Not much of a cliffy if you watched the show. It's moving too slow for my liking, so it's going to speed up next. Bye for now! Guess the song!
