VICTORIES AND QUESTIONS

A new day in Dragon City and a new race started, with a new track, new obstacles but always the same fights, the Penn Racing crew against the Dragon Eyes, Artha vs Moordryd, always the same.

The white haired teen was fighting better than the last time but still the Penn boy wasn't restraining himself.

Sakura pushed Moonlight forward, this way she was on Artha's right side.

"Hey you!" she yelled obtaining his attention "I suggest you to stop before things get worse for you" she threatened, Moordryd was surprised, he didn't think that she would have helped him again, after what he has done to her the last time they met.

"And I suggest you to stop interfering in our business" the black haired boy answered, trying to scare her, obtaining the completely opposite reaction.

She laughed "Why? Are you afraid of me?" she asked still laughing.

"What? Are you serious?" He unconsciously touched his cheek where in their last battle she left a bruise, she smirked.

They both magged into the air, their staff clashing against each other, Artha swung his staff forcefully hitting hers causing her to lose her grip and her staff fell, it was inevitable her was physically stronger that her after all.

He prepared for another blow "Game over" he said. He was about to hit her when his staff met something else.

"You were saying?" she smiled, that something was nothing else than her sword.

She cut in half his staff and then hit him hard on his abdomen with the back of the blade, he fell back on his saddle, Sakura returned too and made Moonlight push Beau causing him to fall, Moordryd moved Decepshun out of the way and then approached Sakura.

"I thought you were upset with me for what I did to you" he explained.

"I am, but not with you" she answered, he understood that she was talking about his father.

He wanted to ask her if she wanted to join his crew, but after what he and his father did to her the last time he doubted it.

"I need to ask you something..." he started but was interrupted by her "You can ask me whatever you want after the race"

"Wait"

"See you at the end" she smiled to him, then she activated her thruster gear and ran away, she always had her thruster gear in every race, it was her favorite and the one she used better.

She couldn't be upset with him, he was only his father's victim, everyone who come in contact with Word Paynn become a victim, a mere instrument for his foolish plans of war, this included his son, and herself too.

They were his major victims, and she already experienced how cruel Word Paynn could be, and she couldn't stand the idea of Moordryd experiencing the same hell she went through for all this years or worse.

She bit her lip 'No! I won't let this happen, I'll protect him no matter what!"

She dismissed her thoughts concentrating only on finishing the race, using Moonlight's natural skills she passed easily the other racers, taking the first place.

Moonlight movements were swift and serpentine when she ran, making her very agile, she also was a quite fast dragon.

They passed the finish line first, it was their first victory, Sakura felt happy, so happy that she stood up on her saddle raising her fist in the air smiling happily, Moonlight roared loudly, she was happy too for their victory.

Moordryd arrived a bit later and so did Artha, the first one smiled at her while the other glared at her, he was clearly upset.

A bit later she was at her tent brushing Moonlight gently when Moordryd approached her.

"Hey, great victory" he smiled.

"Thanks, you wanted to ask me something right?"

"Yes I..."

"Hey you! We need to talk!" Artha Penn approached them with an angry expression on his face, his crew was behind him.

"I was here first!" Moordryd replied, angry for being interrupted.

"Don't worry I'll be done in a minute, just wait for me ok?" She said putting a hand on his shoulder before following the Penn Racing to their tent.

Once they entered she asked pretty pissed "Ok what do you want?"

"I want to know why did you hurt me" Artha said seriously while holding his side.

"You don't seem hurt to me" she replied annoyed 'this kid doesn't even know what being hurt really means' she thought.

"What? His side has a very bad bruise" Parm answered.

"Only a bruise? That's nothing, if I really wanted to hurt him seriously I would have hit him with the blade of my sword and not with its back" she explained.

"She's got a point" Lance said.

"Also if you really want to be the Dragon Booster you need to stop whining about yourself, you claim yourself as the hero of legend but you aren't because all I see is a kid" she said coldly.

"Who are you to say such things to me?" he shouted to her.

She approached him until she faced him, she looked directly in his eyes, scaring him.

"I'm someone who can say them, and by the way this is a wound, not yours" she let him see her right eye, the one who was always covered with her hair and he understood what she meant.

She left without saying anything else and walked back where Moordryd was waiting for her, she saw him stroke her dragon's head which surprised her.

'That's strange, Moonlight doesn't let anyone touch her beside me, but maybe she let him because she likes him'

Sakura greeted them and he finally was able to ask her his question.

"Do you want to join my crew?"
