(Story Begins)
Two glowing red eyes bore into Shawn's mixed color eyes. The eyes then looked at Rocks, Rebel and Shira before looking around iits surroundings. The creature slowly walked forward, out of the dust revealing itself.
The creature was in fact, a dragon. The dragon was the size of a Deadly Nadder but shorter and skinnier. It's scales were dark grey with thick, blood red streaks all over it's body. On his head was a red dorsal fin and oh his back were extendable red wings. If you looked closely, you could see extendable webbing on it's feet. On its tail was a sharp and deadly stinger.
This was a Titan Wing Speed Stinger, one of the fastest dragons alive! The newborn dragon gave out a loud roar of challenge,that filled the whole room.

Due to their enhanced hearing, the Guardian's and Helper's dragons stopped what they were doing and headed for the call. Their riders looked at each other confused before following them.
"C'mon buddy, where are you going?!" Thoron shouts to his dragon. Storm gives a series of growls and roars in response.
"An Alpha call?! Calling out a challenge?!" The Guardian's and Helper's eyes widen. Their was only one Alpha in charge and that was Storm himself! Who or what could be doing this?
"Shawn" Elli says as she tried to reach Shadow, "Where is he?"
"My guess, with the source of all this" Bunny replies.
(Line Break)
Rebel materialized her Keyblade and Rocks' sword changes into a bluish white blade with a snowflake guard and a blue handle. The dragon roars and raised his stinger.
"Be careful" Shadow says as she appears behind them and draws her magic bow out of thin air, "Speed Stingers are smart and fast. If you get close to that stinger on his tail, your paralyzed. But this is a Titan Winged version...we don't know what he's capable of!"
The dragon roars again and charges at Rebel with break neck speed before jumping!
Rebel raised her weapon to block the descending Speed Stinger. But at the last second, he summersaults and plants his feet firmly on the flat of the blade. Using at as a springboard, he back flipped away while making Rebel fall on her bum.
The dragon lands on a boulder and gives a warbled laugh. Shadow aimed her bow at the dragon before firing. The arrow exploded near the dragon, revealing familiar green gas.
The Magic Guardian shoots another arrow into the gas, causing an explosion! "That wouldn't kill him" she said, "but it sure as hell won't tickle either."
There was a roar from within the flames, much to her surprise. The Speed Stinger jumps out of the flames, revealing to be unscathed! The dragon roars and charges with his stinger raised.
Shadow shakes her head and shoots more arrows. But the dragon dodges them all at the last minute. The dragon dashes behind her and prepares to stab her with his stinger!
*CLING*
Only to be blocked by Rocks' sword! Stunned, the dragon jumps back. She huffed and swiped her sword into the ground underneath the dragon, causing a geyser of air to rise underneath him!
The dragon roars in surprise before regaining his bearings. He extends his grey wings and glides around the room. Shira decides to act and summoned her hammer. She enhanced her legs with magic and jumped towards his level. With all her might, she swung at the dragon!
The dragon roars and plants his feet in the air as if he was about to jump. To her and the others surprise, he stepped off of the air and steps off of her hammer before flipping over her and landing on a cliff! The force of the swing caused and explosion!
The dragon panted slightly, but showed weakness. But Shawn noticed.
"Your eyes" he said lowly, but the dragon turned his head and looked at Shawn intently, "are just like mine." The dragon was surprised and confused by what the human meant, but was brought out of his thoughts when a knife landed next to him.
He looked at the knife oddly and heard a beeping noise. He looked closer noticed that it was coming from a red blinking light on the handle. The dragon realized what it was and ran. But he didn't get far as the knife exploded, destroying the cliff side!
The Speed Stinger landed on debris and looks down to see Dave holding knives, "THIS IS FOR MY FORGE, BASTARD!" Dave threw mor explosive knives at the dragon, leaving firey explosions. But he dodged them all by jumping off near by debris.
He landed on the edge of the cliff side and ran.
"How is this possible..." Magnus asked in shock, "no Speed Stinger is this fast. Nor can one fly. Or this smart. Or this fire proof! Hell, they can't even cause a massive hole in the wall!"
"Good gods" Shawn says, "what kind of dragon did grandpa give me?!" Silver suddenly got an idea, "A Speed Stinger. Shawn, what did you say that your Dragon's Eye do?"
"Give me the powers and abilities of that of a dragon"
"And which dragon is that?"
"A Speed Stinger"
"Just as I thought" she said, "this Dragon's Eye works vice versa. While you possess a Speed Stinger's speed, fast adaptation and evolution rate; the Speed Stinger has your ability to compress magic into his body to move faster, and to withstand attacks and heat. Haven't you noticed that your hand or glove isn't burned even the slightest?"
Shawn blinked in surprise and inspected his hand. Just as Silver said, it wasn't even singed!
"But wait" Rebel says, "how come he only used his stinger against one of us?"
"Because of Shawn" the Chaos Magician says, "because he hasn't learned how to use the same move a second time"
"And how come he's so smart?" Rocks asked.
"Because..." she looked at Shawn who was punching the air, trying to light his hand on fire.
"Actually, I'm stumped on this one" she says as she sweat dropped.
The sound of multiple roars and shouts were heard behind them. They all turned around to see the dragons of the Guardians and Helpers pour out of the hole in the forge! They flew over their heads and flew into the direction of Speed Stinger.
"Stormfly!" Astrid shouts as stopped nearby the Guardians and Shawn, "she and the other dragons are being drawn to a challenging alpha!"
"Dave, can you please calm them down?" Thoron asked. "I'm really tempted to just let them go" Dave grunts, "it'll teach him what happens when you mess with my forge"
"Oi, genius" Shira says, "your the Guardian of Dragon Training. Your suppose to train dragons. It's your job to stop them from fighting"

Dave grumbles and ran after the dragons.
(Line Break)
As the Speed Stinger continued to run, he couldn't help but think about what that boy said. He said that they were the same. What did that mean? And why did he seem so...familiar?
*ROOAAAR!*
The dragon blinks in surprise as he and the ground beneath blown away by an ear piercing shock wave! He rolled across the ground before hopping up to his feet, skidding to a hault.
He shook his head and roars at his attacker. The attacker was a blue dragon with a white belly and four small legs. On his body were spikes and horns. And rows of sharp teeth jutting out of his mouth.
This was Shiranai Atsune's dragon, Lapis. A Thundersrum!
Lapis roars back and blasts another shockwave from her mouth. This time, the Speed Stinger was ready. The dragon dashed to the side, letting the shoick wave crush the wall he was once standing in front of and charged!
He jumped into the air and drop kicked the dragon in her sides. Lapis fell from the sky, crashing into a boulder. She groaned before looking up to see a silver blur rocketing towards her!
The Thunderdrum quickly rolls out of the way, letting the blur crash into the ground. The Speed Stinger shoots out of the dust and prepares to stab Lapis.
But was stopped by a golden plasma blast getting in between them! The Speed Stinger jumped from debris to debris before subconsciously compressing magic in it's feet. Allowing it to stand in midair.
Lapis turned to see Stripes flying into the frey! Along with the dragons of the Guardians and Helpers! They all landed in a line iin front of Lapis, ready to protect their own. The Speed Stinger was smart. He knew he was out numbered by one against many. But his instincts told him to keep fighting.
The Speed Stinger lands on the ground ready to give everything he's got. But before anything else could happen, a steady beeping knife embedded into the ground between them.
The dragons gave the knife a confused look before the beeping sped up. The butt of the knife opened, revealing a light blue light.
It then made a loud ringing noise, causing the dragon's to screech in pain! One by one, they fell to the ground until the Speed Stinger tried to rise to it's feet.
"Calm down" a voice says, "there's no point in fighting anymore. Just give in" The growls and dragon roars in pain and annoyance before swinging swinging his tail at the knife.
His stinger shot out and destroyed the knife, causing the sound to disperse! The dragon tried to sray on his feet, but he can feel himself slipping from his conscious.
So the Speed Stinger decides to roars in victory before passing out from exhaustion.
(Line Break)
"This is either the most powerful or most stubborn Speed Stinger I have ever seen" says Dave as he puts the Speed Stinger in a cage, "he can use your abilities while you can use his. Some dragon you've got, aye Shawn?"
"What?" Shawn asked loudly as he cleaned one of his ears out.
"I said, 'some dragon you got'" he repeated. The silver clad narrowed his eyes, "What?"
"Oi, dumbass" Magnus said, "he has dragon abilities. Which means, he's now deaf because of your sonic knife"

"Today's just not my day" the Dragon Trainer sulks.
