"What happened? Why is she here? Where's this Brad fellow?" Gibson asked

"Something bad happened with Brad-" Chaz started

"He died?" Otto asked

"Sometimes I think it might have been better if he did" Chaz replied quietly.

"What happened that was so bad?" Antauri asked.

"I'll get there" Chaz replied.

Dragon exceled in her education, she learned all that I had to teach her. Her mutation was her advantage for she was so healthy, fit, and imune to so many things. All her sences were boasted to an all time high. But then again, her mutations were a diadvantage, she had animal instencts and somethings could kill her or make her sick that didnt effect humans.

All of Dragon's training, skills, and teachings were for her mutation abilities. Her animal instencts were used in all her training, to control her animal side and her power. She depended on it, and used it everyday so not to lose her control on herself.

"You say dragon had all this great power, strength, speed, and all that jazz. You make her sound as is she was so powerful, but why isnt she as powerful as you say she is?" Asked Dark Wing.

"I'm getting there...." Chaz whispered.

Dragon entered her room, midafternoon, and saw a note lying on her bed.

Meet me tonight at our usual place, be ready, I have a surprize for you!

Dragon smiled and folded the note and setted it down on one of her shelves and proceded to go back to her training. She didn't see Brad for the rest of the day.

Later that night, Dragon stood under the cherry blossem tree and hummed a tune while waiting for the blonde headed young man.

Finaly she saw him walking up to her, she smile, but soon her smile faded as he got closer. He looked different, his eyes were darker, his hair was too, his eyes held somethign that wasnt there before. Brad gave a sadistic smirk.

He finaly stood infront of Dragon and she gave a look of confusion. She put her hand on his cheek and looked him in the eyes, then relized what was there that wasnt there before, that shouldnt be there. Evil.

Dragon gasped, and before she could coil back, Brad grabed her hand and smiled minasingly at her. Hepulled her close and forced a kiss on her, her eyes teared up, to shocked to move. Brad pulled back, a blue ghostly light flowed from Dragon and into Brad. Suddenly Brad was thrown back. Dragon looked and saw that Dez had shoved him to the side.

Brad stood back up and smirked, Dez, Ron, Jessie, Chaz, and Jazmine looked up at Brad, their filled with shock and anger.

"Brad, how could-" Chaz started to ask, but Brad shot fire from his hand and hit Chaz square in the chest, makign him fly back and hit the ground.

Dragon swayed some, she felt weaker, her powers....he took them! Well, only three fourths. Dex interupted them before Brad could take the rest. Dragon made a fireball in her hand and threw it at Brad, tears blurring her vision as Brad knocked down all of her friends, her team, her family. Brad looked at her and his smile widened.

"Well my dear Dragon, like the new me? Well, I'll be seeing you around, hunny." Brad said and blasted Dragon with a fire with such force, she flew right through the cherry blossem tree and blacked out.

Brad hasnt been seen since and Dragon left us the next day.

That was seven years ago.

"Oh my God, poor Dragon!" Nova exclaimed.

"Wait, seven years ago? Dragon has only been with us for two years, where did she go after that?"

"I think I can explain that" A deep voice said.

everyone turned to the entry way of the Main Room and saw a young man standing there. He had spikey brown hair, brown eyes, he was tall with a muscular build and seemed about Alex's age.

"Who are you?" Antauri questioned

"I am Ben, a good friend of Dragon's and I can tell you where she went after that.

"Go on then tell us" Dante pressed.

"Alright then, I'll tell you our story."
