The Flames Return part 3
((Michelle's POV))
We all race through Dragon City, trying to get to the cave of Dragon Flares before Kitt and Flarox do until suddenly, 6 different Red Draconium dragons jump in front of our way, growling and snarling at us with fury.
"Oh dear… This can't be good." Parmon whimpered.
"What was your first clue?" I exclaimed.
The Red Draconium dragons get closer to us, preparing to attack us. Our dragons snarl at them as the Red Dragons got closer and closer.
{This is gonna be tough, you guys.} Beau snarled.
{We can take 'em, Beau!} Fracshun squeaked with determination.
{I just hope we can get through before more come...} Cyrano grunted.
{Think positive, Cyrano!} Leapdra snorted.
Artha, Dragon Booster, shouts at us, "Get ready for a fight, you guys! They're about to attack!"
Lance and I pull out our Flash Sticks while Dragon Booster uses his Jakk Stick and Parmon uses his Blocking Staff.
The Red dragons were about attack something big and green rammed into them and pushes some of the red dragons to the wall and most knock down on the ground.
I took good look at the one who rammed into the red dragons, "Phistus and Brutaris?" I exclaimed with shock.
"Look like we arrive here just in time!" Phistus exclaimed, holding his huge, green hammer. "Those 6 red dragons are nothing!"
"Whether or not they were tough, there are still more of them!" It was Khatah, riding on his dragon Shock-Ra. "Dragon Booster, are you and the young ones are alright? What's going on?"
Dragon Booster explains, "It's Kitt Wonn and her dragon. They somehow found the bonemark of the Flarox and they are planning to get the Dragon Flares."
"To start a dragon human war by building an army of Red Draconium Dragons." I added.
{Uh oh! Here's come more!} Shock-Ra snarled.
The rest of the Red Dragons roar at us with fury while the rest get up to fight back. Soon 18 more came from the alleys, glaring at us.
"Well, this just keeps getting better and better." Lance groaned.
I grunted with annoyance, "We don't have time for this! We have to get Pyrrah and her crew before the worst happens!"
Phistus shouts at us, "We'll hold them off! You guys get to Pyrrah and her crew."
"But what about you guys?" Dragon Booster asked with concern.
"Don't worry about us! Just go and save them before the worst comes!" Khatah exclaimed.
{We won't let these dragons get in our way!} Brutaris snorted with no fear.
{We must not let those red dragons get away!} Shock-Ra growled.
Dragon Booster and I look at each then nodded. "Parm, try ramming into the Red Dragons so we get a clear path!" Dragon Booster shouted.
Parm nodded at Dragon Booster and spoke to his dragon, "Alright, Cyrano... Let's do it!" activating the Ramming Gear.
Cyrano nods at Parm, {You've got it!} and charges towards the red dragons, knocking them away and making a clear way as we follow them closely.
"I hope Khatah and Phistus will be okay." Lance spoke.
{Me too.} Fracshun whimpered.
I respond to Lance and Fracshun, "Don't worry, you two! They'll be fine... Right now we need to get Pyrrah and her crew before things over there gets worst."
((Normal/Third POV))
At the same time in the cave of the Dragon Flares...
"Kitt? What happened to you? What's this about?" Pyrrah spoke with confusion.
"Let's just say I've never felt such power from the bonemark of Flarox." Kitt replied.
"The Flarox?" Pyrrah cried with shock.
Sparkk look up at his sister, "I-I thought Flarox was just a myth."
Pyrrah slowing responds to Sparkk, "No, Sparkk... Flarox is very real. And he's one of the warrior dragons who started the dragon human long ago. Flarox is more dangerous than the Furox was."
"Ah yes... The Furox. You know how it felt at first, wouldn't ya, Pyrrah?" Kitt snickered.
Sparkk look up at Pyrrah with shock, "What? Is this true, Pyrrah?" The other crew members glanced at Pyrrah as well.
Pyrrah look down with regret, "...Yes, it's true. I-I couldn't control myself when I held that bone-mark. But then Dragon Booster came and saved me and my dragon from that horrible power."
"Then that means Dragon Booster will defeat you, Kitt!" Sparkk shouted.
While Kitt talk to Pyrrah and Sparkk, Flarox spoke to Phorrj and Ferno. {My, my, Phorrj... I guess you couldn't withstand the power of the Furox, could you?} Flarox smiled darkly at Phorrj.
Phorrj just snarled at Flarox while Ferno and the other red dragons looked at Phorrj with shock. {You know nothing about me!}
{Maybe, maybe not... but I do know this} Flarox snorted, {You took the bonemark and used it to try and take over Dragon City!}.
Ferno's face was covered in shock as he looked up at Phorrj and asked, {I-Is it true? Did you really use the bonemark of...Furox?}
Phorrj bent down his head a bit with full of regret, {It's true I did it, but if it wasn't for the Black and Gold Dragon of Legend, I would still be under the control of that bonemark!}
{Yes, you were saved by that dragon... my two descendants.} Flarox smiled with evil.
Phorrj looked shock at first when Flarox called him and Ferno his decedents, {...Descendants? Who are you? And what do you want from us?} He snarled as Ferno stood by him.
{Who am I? Why I'm one of your ancestors, Flarox the King of Red Draconium Dragons!} Flarox snarled with malevolence.
{W-We're descendants of the King of Red Draconium Dragons?} Ferno squeaked. {That means we're...brothers.}
The other Red Dragons of the Dragon Flares heard what Flarox said to Phorrj and Ferno; looked at each other with shock and astonishment then bows to both Phorrj and Ferno with great respect.
{Yes... Both you are brothers and the new kings. Join me and we'll rule over the humans and control this pathetic world.} Flarox spoke to Phorrj and Ferno. {The new Black and Gold Dragon of Legend will never win against all of us!}
Kitt laughed out at Pyrrah and Sparkk's remark, "Ha! The new Dragon Booster may have saved you before, but the new Dragon Booster won't win this time... 'Cause he's the Stable boy!"
"Artha Penn?" Pyrrah gasped.
Phorrj stutters a bit when he heard that, {Artha? B-But that means...}.
{Beau is the Black and Gold of Legend!} Ferno finished with shock.
Kitt chuckled maliciously at Pyrrah, "Why don't you and your little brother join us, so we can rule the Dragon City with great power?"
Both Pyrrah and Phorrj could answer them; they all suddenly heard a very loud and powerful roar near the opening of the cave. They look back and see the Dragon Booster and the Black and Gold of Legend with Michelle, Lance, Parmon and their dragons by their sides.
"Well, well... Dragon Booster and the Black and Gold Dragon of Legend decided to show up after all..." Kitt mocked Dragon Booster.
Pyrrah stared at Dragon Booster, "...Artha Penn? Is it really you?"
Phorrj did the same to Beau, {I-I can't believe it... Beau, you're the Black and Gold Legend?}
Both Dragon Booster and Beau looked shock and afraid, wondering how they found out their secret identities.
Kitt laughs out loud, "That's right, Dragon Booster or should I say Artha Penn?"
"Aw, man... This is not good." Dragon Booster groaned. "...Yes, I am Artha Penn, the new Dragon Booster." looking down.
{..And really I am Beau...} Beau groaned.
"Now, Pyrrah and her crew know! They'll tell the other Down City crews and get Artha and Beau!" Lance cried.
{This can't be happening!} Fracshun squealed with fright.
Parmon starts to panic and babbles so much, no one but, Michelle can understand, "Th-This is terrible!Thisishorrible!She'slltelleverycrewwmemeber...!"
Cyrano whined as he panics a bit and babbles too. {Phorrj'!}
Michelle rolls her eyes at Parmon, "I think he said 'It's terrible, it's horrible! Pyrrah is gonna tell every crew so she can grant power to control the Council of Twelve!' Right, Parmon?"
"Well, yes! That's what I said, right?" Parmon exclaimed as he look at Lance.
Lance just looked confuse and daze, "...I have no clue." He said to Parmon.
Leapdra sighs at Cyrano, {He said, 'Phorrj is gonna tell every dragon from each crew about Beau', isn't that right, Cyrano?}
Cyrano grunted at Leapdra, {That's what I said... Didn't I?} He glanced at Fracshun.
Fracshun just shook his head, {I have no idea..} he said to the green dragon.
"Y'know, Parmon... You and Cyrano should try entering the fastest babbler contest." Michelle joked.
Leapdra snickers, {You two would win for sure! No problem at all!}
Then Parmon stutters with annoyance, "W-Wait a minute! How could you joke in a time like? We're about to fight Kitt and Wyldfyr, who's possessed by Flarox!"
{Yeah! Now's not the time to joke!} Cyrano grunted as he stomped on the ground.
"Not our fault you two blabbers so much..." Michelle muttered.
Kitt suddenly snarled at the scene, "You two are so annoying!" glares at Parmon, "You're an embarrassment to green draconium energy!" then look at Pyrrah and Sparkk as she continued to speak. "Now that you two know about that Stable brat's identity, you can tell every crew about them and get rid of that annoying pest!"
Flarox just snarled at Leapdra and Cyrano with anger, {Brutaris would be embarrassed to call you a fellow bull class dragon, Cyrano!} then stareed at Phorrj and Ferno while he continued to talk to his descendants, {Once you two tell every dragon about Beau, it'll be easy to get rid of him and control the world without anyone to get in our way! After all, brothers like you two must stick together...}
Michelle looked shock when she heard that, "Flarx just said brother like you two must stick together to Phorrj and Ferno."
"W-Wait! So, Phorrj and Ferno are brothers?" Parmon stuttered with confusion. Cyrano also looked confused.
"Well, they are both descendants of Flarox, Parm." Michelle sighed and then shouts at Pyrrah and Sparkk, "Pyrrah! Sparkk! Don't listen to her! What good would come from this? Please, Pyrrah! You know you don't want to start a dragon human war! Sparkk, you know it too! Do what you truly believe is right!"
Leapdra called out to Phorrj and Ferno, {Michelle is right, you guys! We need the humans and the humans we need us! We can live in harmony! The humans are our friends! Phorrj even through you sometimes don't respond to Pyrrah, you still care about her, right? And Ferno, even though don't listen to Sparkk at times you still want to be with him! Do the right thing!}
Pyrrah and Sparkk took a moment then look at their crew while Phorrj and Ferno did same to the other dragons then they both look at Dragon Booster and Beau...
"After you saved my brother from falling into the lava pits on your first visit, then myself and Phorrj from the bonemark of the Furox, me and my crew members will return the favor by not telling anyone about your and your dragon's true identities." Pyrrah spoke.
"Yes, Dragon Booster is our friend!" Sparkk shouted.
Pyrrah sneered at Kitt, "We won't join you, Kitt Wonn!"
"Yeah, we're with Dragon Booster!" Sparkk exclaimed.
{Same goes for me and my dragons, Beau.} Phorrj spoke to Beau.
{Yeah! We're here for ya, Beau!} Ferno squealed.
Phorrj then glares at Flarox and Kitt. {We won't join your stupid army! We'll fight} He, Ferno and two more red dragons of the Dragon Flares stood next to Beau. Phorrj and Ferno magged Pyrrah and Sparkk onto them.
Kitt and Flarox glares at the Dragon Flares with rage. "Fine then..." Kitt growled.
{Then you leave us with no choice!} Flarox snarled then roars out to his army of red dragons. Soon more red dragons rush over towards Dragon Booster and the rest are.
Parmon and Cyrano just shriek with terror when saw the red dragon coming their way.
"What happened to Phistus and Khatah?" Dragon Booster exclaimed.
"I'll call them and see!" Michelle calls to Khatah on her com-link, "Khatah! What's going on? Are you, Phistus and the dragons are alright?"
Khatah responds, "We're fine so far! But more of the red dragons appears while 25 of them left and went after you all! I-I don't know much longer we can hold them off!" the com-link got cut off.
"Khatah! Khatah, can you hear me?" Michelle shouted then looks at Dragon Booster with worries, "I've lost him!"
The red dragons stops a few feet behind the gang, getting ready to attack...

At the same with Khatah, Phistus and their dragons…
After Khatah lost the signal to Michelle, he, Phistus and their dragons were surrounded by 30-37 red dragons. Shock-Ra and Brutaris were starting to get tired, but still keep standing with determined.
Khatah swings his two Blocking Staffs at the red dragons, hitting most of them on the heads, "We need to get to Dragon Booster, Phistus!"
"I know that!" Phistus yelled as he hit the red dragons with his hammer. "But it's not gonna be easy when there are this many red dragons surrounding us!"
Brutaris was starting to feel exhausted, {This is getting us nowhere! And I think my draconium energy is getting lower!} The Green Bull Class dragon complained as he mag blasted two red dragons away from him and Phistus.
Shock-Ra tail whipped one of the red dragons back, {Just hang in there, Brutaris! We've gotta get through this somehow!} The Blue Energy Class dragon used his Mag Blast to fight off three more red dragons.
As Phistus kept swinging his hammer at the red dragons, Khatah suddenly had an idea, "Phistus! We need to combine our dragons' draconium energies to get through!"
"But our dragons might not have enough draconium energies left!" Phistus exclaimed.
"We have no choice!" Khatah shouted. He looked down at Shock-Ra, "Get ready, Shock-Ra! We've only got one shot at this..."
Shock-Ra nodded at his rider and glanced at Brutaris, {Ready to do this, Brutaris?}
Brutaris snorted as he stomped his feet, {Ready as I'll ever be!}
As the red dragons stepped closer to them, Shock-Ra and Brutaris' draconium energies starts to build up inside of their bones.
"NOW!" Khatah and Phistus yelled.
Shock-Ra and Brutaris suddenly release a powerful Mag Burst at almost every red dragon, knocking the red dragons away from them.
"We did it!" Phistus cheered.
"There's no time for cheering!" Khatah exclaimed.
Phistus nodded at Khatah a bit, "You're right... We have to get to Dragon Booster and fast!"
Khatah drove Shock-Ra ahead with Phistus and Brutaris behind them.
Back at the Cave of Dragon Flares...
"You're no match for us, Stable brats!" Kitt snarled.
Dragon Booster looked back at Parmon, Lance and Michelle, "You guys, hold off those red dragons! We'll take care of them!"
"Us? Against them?" Parmon cried.
{He can't be serious!} Cyrano whined.
{He's serious...} Leapdra replied. {But we can take 'em!}
Michelle stares at the many red dragons, "But how? There's so many of them..." She saw about 38 red dragons near the cave opening.
Out of the blue, Khatah, Phistus and the dragons knock the red dragons away to make path to the others and stop near Dragon Booster. "Sorry we're late, Dragon Booster!" Khatah spoke.
{Yeah! We got held up by many of those red dragons.} Shock-Ra spoke to Beau. The red dragons snarl and hiss at them with fury.
Parmon starts to panic, "There's no way we could beat that many!"
'Will you think positive?" Michelle shouted. "Look... If we somehow find a weakness to all this, we could win!"
"Yeah, but how?" Dragon Booster muttered. Then his com-link beeps.
It was Mortis, "Dragon Booster! I think I found a way to defeat Flarox! Just like every Magma Class dragon, Flarox has a harsh, nasty temper. He can use it for full power to defeat his enemies, however it can backfire."
Michelle thought of what Mortis said then got an idea, "Dragon Booster! I think I know how to defeat Flarox."
"Really? How?" Dragon Booster asked.

Michelle smirked at him, "Just watch..." then she shouts at Kitt, "Hey! I bet I'm the best racer than you, Kitt! Heck, I bet you can't beat a rookie racer! Heh! Even Parmon or Phistus can beat ya in a race!"
Kitt glares at Michelle, "What did you say?"
"You heard me!" Michelle yelled back.
Leapdra at first didn't get what Michelle was doing, but later catch on and barks at Flarox {...Hey, ugly! If you're so tough then why do need these red dragons, hm? I bet you're just a coward! I also think you can't even beat Cyrano or Brutaris in race!}
Flarox snarls at Leapdra with fury, {Why you...!}
"Michelle! What are you doing?" Parmon exclaimed.
{You two are making them mad!} Cyrano barked.
{That's the idea, Cyrano...} Leapdra glanced at him then continues to insult Flarox, {I do admit... You look a lot uglier than Furox was!}
"What's wrong Kitt? Can take the heat? That's because your head is full of hot air!" Michelle shouted.
Kitt snarled with rage, "That does it! Flarox, ATTACK!"
Flarox snarls, {Gladly!} then uses Mag Blast at Michelle and Leapdra.
Suddenly, Michelle yells, "Leapdra! Beau! Phorrj! Use your Mag Blast, NOW!"
Without hesitation, Beau, Leapdra, and Phorrj use their Mag Blasts at Flarox's. The red dragons roar out loud charge at the group.
"We must not let them pass! Come on!" Phistus shouted at Khatah then they and their dragons knock them away.
"Parmon, let's help them!" Lance exclaimed and uses his Flash Stick on the red dragons, making them stung and blind for the moment.
"Oh, dear!" Parmon whimpered and activate the Ramming Gear on Cyrano. Cyrano charges at red dragon, knocking them to the ground.
{Ha! You fools think you can defeat me?} Flarox snarled as he uses more mag energy.
{Gah! H-He's too strong!} Phorrj grunted as he felt himself moving back.
"This is bad! Even against three dragons, Flarox is too strong!" Dragon Booster exclaimed.
Sparkk noticed they're in trouble, "Ferno, let's help them!"
Ferno nodded at Sparkk, {Okay, Sparkk!} then looked at two other dragons of the Dragon Flares, {Let's help them out!} then fire his mag energy with Phorrj, Beau and Leapdra's. The two dragons join in and use their mag energy as well.
{Wh-What?} Flarox see Ferno and the two dragons join in. {No! I won't be beaten by you weaklings!}
Beau glances at Phorrj, {Let's finish him, Phorrj!}
{Right, Beau!} Phorrj nodded.
All six dragons fires full blast through their mag energy, pushing back harder on Flarox's as it get closer to his head, right where the bonemark is.
Knowing that he will be defeated soon, Flarox said his last words, {...You may won this time, Black and Gold Dragon of Legend! But know this! There more like me, 11 more! And they'll be a lot stronger than me! You will lose, Beau! You and your pathetic rider! ...And, Leapdra... I hope you have a 'happy' reunion...} The bonemark gets knock off and lands near a ledge. The red dragons stop what they were doing and run back to where they came from.
(Sonic Colors Original Soundtrack Egg Nega Wisp Phase 2 ~ Reach for the Stars (Orchestra Version) fades out and ends)
Kitt and Wyldfyr both start to glow red as the marks, spikes and frills disappear as the glow dies down.
Kitt shakes her head, "Ugh... Wh-What happened?" then notices where she is. "And how did I get here?" she jumps off of Wyldfyr.
Wyldfyr shakes his head as well, {Ah! What's going on? Huh?} As he saw the Red Gear that Word gave on him. {And what are these gears doing on me?} On cue the red dragon Mags them off.
"Oh, Kitt!" Michelle leaps of Leapdra and runs towards Kitt, "I'm so glad to see the old you again."
{Likewise!} Leapdra went to Wyldfyr, smiling.
Unaware to them, Moordryd quickly snatched the bonemark before anyone else saw him.
"Wait a minute! What just happened?" Kitt exclaimed.
"Ah... It's a long story, Kitt." Dragon Booster spoke. "Right now we need to get that bonemark to Mortis so he can lock it up."
"We will tell the crew that danger is over." Khatah spoke as he, Phistus and their dragons left.
"I'll keep the Red Thruster Gear and the Heating Armor here to keep it safe." said Pyrrah.
Beau look to where the bonemark has landed, but snort with surprise, {Huh? T-The bonemark! It's gone!}
Michelle turns to Beau, "What do you mean, gone? It's right-" she look to where the bonemark is, but it wasn't there anymore. "...there. Oh, come on!"
Dragon Booster jumps off of Beau and went to where the bonemark was, looking to where it went, "I don't see it... It must've falling off the ledge."
"I hope so... 'Cause I don't want to see that creepy dragon again." Michelle shivered.
Then Pyrrah spoke to Dragon Booster, "Dragon Booster, um... Thank you for saving us again."
Sparkk spoke to him, "And to return the favor, we promise not to tell anyone that you and Beau are the Dragon Booster and the Black and Gold Dragon of Legend." Phorrj and Ferno nodded at that.
"Thanks, you guys." Dragon Booster smiled.
{Yeah... Thanks.} Beau chuckled.
"We've better get going. There's gonna be a big day tomorrow!" said Michelle as Leapdra mags her on.
Beau and Wyldfyr do the same to Dragon Booster and Kitt. "Let's go, you guys! We need to ask Mortis about what Flarox meant when he said there were 11 more Warrior Dragons like him..." Dragon Booster exclaimed then drove off ahead with the others behind.
Unknown to them, from behind a huge boulder, were Moordryd and Cain who had seen and heard everything.
Cain sighed with relief, "That was a close one, Moordryd. I don't see why you need another bonemark when you already have the bonemark of Furox."
"Cain, you fool!" Moordryd spoke softly. "Didn't you hear what the Dragon Booster said? There are 11 more Warrior Dragons as powerful as the Flarox, each of whom rule over a different color of Draconium."
Cain scratched his head, "So... You're gonna collect each one?"
"No... We don't know what these Warrior Dragons can do yet. Right now... We just sit and wait as they reveal themselves...one by one." Moordryd smiled darkly.
