This is based on Episode 15: The Rules of Power
The Wrath of the Ex-Girlfriend part1
Two days later after Furox incident, Michelle and Leapdra were training Artha and Beau for the next race. The Penn Racing crew was at an abandon street, making it perfect for them to practice.
((Michelle's POV))
I was ahead of Artha as I went faster on the abandon streets. "Come on, Artha! Catch up!" I shouted.
"I'm trying!" Artha exclaimed as he and Beau try to go faster.
I then see a big pile boxes ahead, "Get ready to leap, girl!"
{Already on it!} Leapdra quickly leaps over the pile of boxes and keeps going.
I look back to see if Artha and Beau are catching up. They jump over the piles of boxes as well.
I quickly turn right and slow Leapdra down a bit. "There's gonna be another tight, turning point ahead, girl. It might get tricky..."
Suddenly, Artha and Beau runs pass us very fast. Artha looks back at me, "Looks like I'll win this time!"
I tried to warn him, "Artha, wait! There's-!" too late.
Artha and Beau suddenly see the turning point, but turn too fast, too late to stop and crashes into the trash bins. I quickly stop Leapdra and jumps off of her to see if the boys were alright. "Artha? Beau? Are you two alright in there?" I asked.
Artha sticks his head out first, with a banana peel on his head, "...J-Just fine! Pah! Just fine..." I quietly snicker at him.
Beau was on his back and stands up with rotten food and paper on him. {That was...unexpected!} shakes the garbage off of him as Leapdra held her laughter.
Our friends came over. Parmon spoke to Artha, "Well, at least you almost made it."
"Yeah, but too late to turn." Lance blurted out.
"Seriously, Artha... You almost beat her that time and yet... you crashed." Kitt spoke.
"Well, how am I supposed to know about that turning point?" Artha brushes the trash off him.
"It's called studying and remember your route and practices without making mistakes." I groaned. "But... You're getting better, Artha."
Artha sighs with frustration, "How are these races supposed to make crime fighting look easy ?"
"Because these races are your training for crime fighting." Parmon responded.
Suddenly, Mortis calls on Artha's com-link, "Artha, I need you and the others to get here! I think found out about Shock-Ra's ancestor..." the com-link went off.
We look at each other and rush back the Penn Stable to see Mortis...
In Old City...
"So, what is it, Mortis? What did you found out?" Artha asked.
"I found out that Shock-Ra is the descendant of the King of Blue Draconium Dragons, Samurox." Mortis told us.
My head winces, /S-Samurox? ...That name sounds familiar.../ I shook my head.
"S-Samurox? You don't mean the one who's almost unbeatable, right?" Parmon stuttered with fear.
Mortis explains, "The same one. Samurox is much stronger than Flarox and Psyrox put together... And like blue draconium dragons, Samurox is precise, controlled, lightning fast and acrobatic. However, blue dragons work best with experienced riders who have discipline and skill. Because they are so well trained, they make excellent law enforcement dragons and are the perfect partner for younger inexperienced riders who need a dragon to help train and protect them."
"Is the bonemark of Samurox is in another temple that's near where the Inner Order crew are?" I asked.
"Yes, and luckily no one knows where map is. At least for now..." Mortis muttered.
"Hopefully, no one from Khatah's crew will find the map and use the bonemark." Kitt spoke.
Then Lance remembered something, "Mortis, Swaay said something weird about Khatah... She said someone from his past is coming back to pay him back for what he did. What do you think she meant?"
I thought the moment then realize who that someone might be, "...I think I know who that someone is!"
Everyone looks at me. "Who is it, Michelle?" Mortis asked.
I took a moment to speak, "...Her name is Zilias and she was once Khatah's...girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" Parmon exclaimed with shock.
{Khatah had a girlfriend?} Cyrano grunted to Wyldfyr, who just shrugged.
"That dork had a girlfriend once?" Kitt said with confusions.
Artha turns to me, "Michelle, are you sure? I mean, how do you know that?"
I took a deep breath, "Well... I met her when I was gone for 2 years. We both became good friends and won races together, but then... She told me about Khatah. They were once great couple. They always did things together... However, when Khatah became the new leader of the Inner Order crew, he stopped spending with her and forgot her as well. Zilias left him for 3 years and was never heard from again. Zilias met me a year ago. She said wanted to get back at Khatah for ignoring her, but I told that she should move on and forget Khatah..."
"What happened to her?" Lance asked.
"She was arrested for suspicious activity and I haven't heard from her ever again..." I sighed. Artha puts his hand on my shoulder for comfort.
"I wonder what did she do that made the police think she did it?" Parmon wondered.
I was about to explain that until my com-link beeps. "Who could that be?" I muttered as I answered. "Hello? This is Michelle Sean... Who's calling me?"
"...Michelle, it's me! Your old friend..."
My eyes went big with surprise. So did Leapdra's eyes.
"Michelle, what's wrong?" Artha asked with concern.
I raise my hand to silence Artha then slowly spoke to my com-link, "...Is that you, Z-Zilias?" Everyone gasped quietly with shock.
"Of course it's me! Why do you sound so shocked?" Zilias asked.
"Because you were supposed to be in jail! What happened?" I asked. I couldn't understand what was going on. The police said she'll in prison for 3-4 years, but here she is talking to me through my com-link.
"The cops let me go since they didn't have any solid proof, so I'm coming back to Dragon City to see how you and your dragon are doing. I heard you became very famous with guys..." I can feel her smirking.
"Zilias! It's not like that! ...When you are coming over here, to Dragon City?" I asked.
Zilias tells me, "Right now. I wanted to see these friends of yours and meet your family. I'll be in Mid City, I'll meet you there."
"W-Wait a minute! Zilias!" The com-link went off. I sighed. "...Great! She always does that!"
{What do you expect? She always calls in unexpectedly.} Leapdra spoke.
I sighed as I turn towards my friends, "I'm sure you all heard... But, my friend, Zilias is coming here to Mid City and she said I should meet her there with you guys."
"Really?" Parmon cried.
"We're actually gonna meet Khatah's former girlfriend?" Lance spoke.
"Yes, but I think best if we don't mention Khatah..." I muttered out loud.
"How come?" Artha asked.
"Because I still think she's still mad at him for what he did..." I spoke quietly.
"I'm sure Zilias has forgotten all about him." Kitt comforted me. "Now, let's go see this friend of yours. I kinda want to see who she is now."
"Yeah, maybe she's not so bad." said Artha.
I slowly smiled and nodded at my friends.
Later on, we all went into Mid City on our dragons to find Zilias.
"By the way, Lil' Sis... What does she look like?" Parmon asked.
"Well, she's has light tan skin, pink hair with dark blue high lights and wears a blue uniform." I described Zilias.
Then Lance shouts, "Like that lady?" he pointed ahead.
I look ahead and see Zilias leaning against a light pole with her blue draconium dragon, Swyft. "Zilias!" I cried with a bit of happiness as Leapdra stopped about a few feet away from Zilias and Swyft. I jump off of Leapdra, "It's good to see you again." I hugged Zilias.
Zilias hugs me back, "Likewise, Michelle. I am so glad to be out that prison! Thinking I might've done it..."
Leapdra went to Swyft, {Long time no see, Swyft.}
{Right back at ya, Leapdra.} Swyft nodded.
Zilias then spots my friends, "I'm guessing these guys are your friends, right?" Artha and the rest get off of their dragons.
I nod at Zilias, "Yes. This is Kitt Wonn and her dragon, Wyldfyr. They're very famous around here..."
"We're not that famous!" Kitt was being modest a bit.
{We're still learning} Wyldfyr snorted with modesty.
I chuckle at them, "...This is my big brother, Parmon and his big dragon, Cyrano."
"It's nice to meet you." Parmon shook Zilias' hand.
{What he said.} Cyrano grunted.
"The little guys are Lance Penn and his blue dragon, Fracshun..."
"I'm not little!" Lance exclaimed.
{Neither am I!} Fracshun squeaked.
"And this is Artha Penn and his dragon, Beau. They just start racing, but they're getting there."
"Hi there. Michelle told us about you." Artha smiled a bit.
{It's good to meet you two.} Beau grinned.
Zilias stares at Artha for the moment, "...Artha... Artha... I remember!" she turns to me. "He's the one you've been talking about."
"W-Well, yeah... I've been talking about all of my friends!" I felt a little heat on my cheeks.
"But you talk about him the most. Are you two going out? 'Cause you two do make a cute couple..." Zilias smirked as Swyft laughs a bit.
I blushed very hard, "Zilias! We're just close friends!"
((Normal POV))
Unknown to Michelle, Artha was blushing as well. Only Parmon, Lance and Kitt saw it then smiled at each other, plotting a plan...
((Michelle's POV))
"Why does everyone think that?" I exclaimed as I cover my face.
Zilias puts her arm around me, "Chill, Michelle... I was just teasing ya."
"As always..." I grumbled. "So, how are things going for ya and Swyft so far?"
"Well, just trying to think what to do next and decide to enter some street race here. I mean, Swyft here is kinda the fastest blue dragon here so far."
Swyft puffed his chest out with pride, {That's true! I am the fastest...}
Leapdra rolled her eyes at him. {But still full of hot air...}
Then Zilias eyes start to glare with hatred, "But first... I'm gonna see Khatah." I could hear anger in her voice.
Parmon stutters nervously, "Just to see him how's he doing... I hope." he muttered the last part.
"Nope... To make him pay for ignoring me for so long!" Zilias exclaimed with anger.
Swyft snarled as he remembered when Khatah starts to ignore his rider, {That stupid human... He just stopped spending with her and not even look at her anymore! And Shock-Ra... who was once my best friend didn't even care!}
{Whoa there, Swyft! Th-There's got to be way without any violence and all.} Cyrano stuttered.
Beau tries to talk to Swyft, {Cyrano is right, Swyft... I kinda understand why you and Zilias are very mad at them, but this isn't the answer!}
{Swyft, please! Can you two just forget about the past and worry about the future?} Leapdra whined. Swyft just look away from them.
"Zilias, no! I know why you're still angry at Khatah, but revenge is never the answer." Artha tried reasoning with Zilias.
"Artha's right, Zilias. I'm sure Khatah is very sorry for what he done to you." Parmon spoke.
"Zilias please don't do it! Just forget about Khatah and continue with your life..." I pleaded to her.
But Zilias wouldn't hear of it, "You guys don't know what's like to be ignored by your own love!" Swyft mags her onto him. "I'm not gonna rest until I make Khatah pay for what he did to me! I don't know how... but I will find out how!" then drove off.
"Zilias, wait!" Kitt shouted. But Zilias was gone already.
I cry out, "We have to stop her!" Leapdra mags me onto her then we drove off after Zilias and Swyft.
"Michelle, wait for us!" Parmon cried. Their dragons mag them on as well and quickly follow us, well Cyrano tries to while the others manage to keep up at least.
However, we lost sight of Zilias and her dragon. "Scales! We lost them" Kitt exclaimed as I began to feel worry.
{Those two could be anywhere!} Beau grunted.
"We'll have to split up, find and try to stop her before she does something dangerous." Artha ordered then we all split up through Mid City to find Zilias.
((Normal POV))
Zilias stops Swyft in the alley when she notices no one is following her now. "I hate to do that to Michelle, but she doesn't understand how it feels..."
Swyft snorts a bit, {She will someday...} even his rider couldn't hear what he says.
Zilias then steps something weird and hard. "Huh?" she looks down and see a dark blue box. "What is this?" she picks it as Swyft went over to her, curious about the box as well. "It seems kinda ancient and...Strange."
"And belongs to us..."
Zilias and Swyft looks back and see Moordryd and Cain on their dragons, Decepshun and Coershun. "Hand over that map now!" Moordryd shouted.
"Map? You mean this thing? It looks more like box!" Zilias exclaimed. Swyft just glared at Decepshun and Coershun, making sure they won't come closer.
"Cut the chit-chat and gives us that box or map!" Cain shouted with irritation.
"Why should I? Just who are you guys?" Zilias demanded.
Moordryd was about yell at Zilias until he's getting a message on his com link from his father, Word Paynn. "Moordryd... Bring that young woman to me at once. I think she can be a big help to us all..." Word told his son.
"What? Why?" Moordryd needed to know.
"Because that girl was once Khatah's girlfriend until he stopped paying attention to her... Her name is Zilias." Word explained. "I'm sure she's back for revenge on him... Bring her to me at once!"
Moordryd turns off his com-link then looks at Zilias, "You're coming with us."
Both Cain and Zilias looked shock. "What? Why?" Zilias glared.
"Yeah, Moordryd... Why? I thought we're just here for the map?" Cain whispered to him.
Moordryd ignores Cain and responds to Zilias, "Because my father wants to speak with you."
"And who is this father of yours?" Zilias asked.
"Word Paynn." Moordryd replied.
/Word Paynn? I heard he wants to starts the dragon human war... However, he might help me to get revenge on Khatah./ Zilias thought then spoke, "Fine then... Take me to Word Paynn."
Moment later at Word's Citadel, Zilias was standing in front of Word, talking about the box that Zilias just found.
"Ah... Zilias. How nice to finally meet at last." Word spoke, trying to act nice to win Zilias' trust.
Zilias felt uneasy, "...I guess. So, why do you want here?"
"Well... I want to talk about that map you're holding." Word pointed at the box she's holding. "May I see it?"
Zilias hesitant at first, but gives it to Word. Word examines the it then smirks with evil. "This is it... This is the map to the secret temple of Samurox." Word spoke.
"Samurox? The King of The Blue Draconium Fighter Dragons?" Zilias spoke with shock.
"Yes... He's is truly powerful and dangerous... With the bonemark of Samurox, anyone could control the dragons of Khatah's crew along with Samurox..." Word glanced at Zilias.
Zilias thought for moment then say, "Can I do it? I want to get back at Khatah for what he did to me!"
Word pretends to think, "I don't know... The bonemark is very strong and very, very hard to control. And the temple is filled with traps..."
"I don't care! I want to get back at him!" Zilias growled.
Word secretly smiled with evil, "Very well then..." and pushes the button on the box, opening up the flat, blue stone map. "Just put your hand there and it will take you to the temple of Samurox's bonemark."
Zilias looks at map. Deep down, she doesn't want to do it, knowing how dangerous it will be, but ignores the feeling and puts her hand on the hand print, grunting pain as it takes over her...
Meanwhile with Lance and Fracshun. The two were looking for Zilias and her dragon, but hasn't find any signs of them.
Lance sighs, "We looked everywhere and we haven't seen Zilias or Swyft..."
Fracshun also sighs then hears something nearby, around the corner of a building, {What's that?} walking towards the sounds, slowly with cautious.
"Fracshun? What is it?" Lance whispered.
Fracshun peeks around the corner then grunts to Lance, quietly, {L-Look! There!}
Even though Lance couldn't understand what Fracshun said, he can tell that Fracshun is trying to show him around the corner. Lance takes a peek and sees Zilias and Swyft. However, Zilias is under control of the map, leading her and Swyft to the temple of Samurox.
Lance and Fracshun look at each other then secretly follow them. Moments later, they were at a big blue temple of the Blue Draconium Empire. Zilias and Swyft steps inside as Lance and Fracshun peeks from behind a big boulder.
"Let's go in and try to see what's going on with them." Lance told Fracshun. Then they quickly inside before the door shut behind them. "Uh oh..." Lance muttered.
{Uh oh is right.} Fracshun whimpered.
The two suddenly heard a groan in front of them. "Ugh... What just happened?" It was Zilias. She was finally out of trance of the map. "Where am I? ...Is this the temple of Samurox?" As Zilias looked around then spots Lance and Fracshun. "What you two doing?" She exclaimed.
"I was about to ask you the same thing." Lance replied. Then realizes what Zilias just said few seconds ago, "Did you say Samurox?"
"Uh... Well..." Before Zilias could explain, the floor suddenly opens up, sliding into the wall. "Scales! We've gonna find a way to jump before fall off!"
Lance then spots the platforms moving out from the walls. "We can jump on those!"
Zilias see the platforms, "This will be tricky!" then Swyft jumps onto the nearest one. Fracshun jumps onto with Swyft. The two dragons then notices the platform will go into the slots of the wall if they don't jump off.
{We'll keep jumping until we get to that room!} Swyft barked as he see the room that holds the bonemark.
{But that's where-!} Fracshun tried to tell Swyft, but Swyft onto another platform. Fracshun groan with fright, but keeps following Swyft on each platforms as they jump across.
They all finally made it across to the room. "Whew! At least we made it..." Zilias sighed with relief.
"Yeah, right... I almost fell off those things!" Lance exclaimed. The floor went back to the way it was when they made it across.
Zilias look ahead and spots a small floating, blue lightning bolt. "...It's the bonemark of Samurox!" She said with wonders as she felt a strong aura from the bonemark.
Lance just covers his eyes, not wanting to see it. "Zilias, stay away from it! It's dangerous! That holds the spirit of Samurox and you won't be able to control it!"
"I know... That's why I'm here!" Zilias spoke. "I'm here to use this bonemark to get revenge on Khatah! I'll take over his dragons, turn against him and probably rule this city..."
Swyft stares at the bonemark, {Once Zilias takes the bonemark... We'll get Shock-Ra and Khatah for hurting us for this!}
"Zilias don't! This isn't the answer! You might actually attack others you also care about!" Lance tried to reason with her.
{Lance is right! Please, Swyft! Don't let Zilias do it! You'll regret it later on!} Fracshun squealed.
Both Zilias and Swyft thought for the moment, but they only thought of is Khatah and Shock-Ra and thinking about them made Zilias and Swyft angrier. Suddenly, the bonemark flew on Swyft's head and begins to takes Swyft and Zilias as it's draconium energy surges through them as they screamed in pain. Blue and white marks appear on them as white spikes appear on Swyft's back, shoulders and tail. Swyft was now Samurox.
{Yes... I...LIVE!} Samurox screeched then stares at Fracshun then takes the blue gear off of him. {Soon, my young solider... We, the blue draconium dragons, will rule this city... But first... I need more blue draconium!}
Zilias smiles with evil at Lance, "Tell Khatah I'll be coming over to visit him for some payback!"
{Make sure to tell Shock-Ra that I'll be paying him a visit to pay him back!} then he and Zilias runs off and out of the temple.
Both Lance and Fracshun gasps with shock and terror and tries to go after them, but doesn't see them anymore as they step outside. Lance quickly calls his friends to tell what happened, "Artha! Michelle! Kitt! Parmon! We've got trouble!"
"Trouble? What trouble?" Artha responded.
"Big trouble! Zilias just found the bonemark of Samurox and they're heading towards the city!" Lance cried.
"WHAT? Please tell me you're joking!" Parmon cried as he panic.
"I wish I was joking, but I'm not!" Lance exclaimed.
"Oh no! This is so not good! Lance, get back here in Mid City! We need to think up plan to save Zilias and Swyft from Samurox!" Michelle shouted.
"We've better do it soon! 'Cause I have feeling that it's gonna be tough to defeat Samurox!" Kitt spoke.
"We need to warn Khatah about this and call Pyrrah and Phistus for help!" Parmon suggested.
"I'll warn Khatah about Zilias!" said Michelle.
"And I'll call up Pyrrah and Phistus to warn them what will happen." Kitt spoke.
"Okay! Let's meet back in the heart of Mid City and think up a way to save them before it gets really worst!" After Artha ordered them then the com-link went off, he changes into Dragon Booster and heads off to the heart of Mid City, preparing of what will later on...
At the same time with Zilias and Samurox, Samurox was taking the blue from other riders and dragons along the way.
"That's it... Take every blue gears to get stronger! ...Need more Blue Draconium!" Zilias chanted.
They then head off to Word's Citadel, knowing he'll have more blue gear for them. Word hears them coming and turns around face as they stop, "Feeling a little...blue?" he then pushes the button to reveal two level 8 Blue Dragon Star Gears. "Oh! What's this? Two level 8 Blue Dragon Star Gears. Why don't mag them on for size."
Samurox mags the blue gears onto him then suddenly his spikes grew longer, so did his claws then screeches out loud. "Welcome back, Samurox... King of the Blue Draconium Fighter Dragons!" Word then laughs with evil. "Now, my king... go to Down City to find your descendant, take over Khatah's dragons and start a dragon human war!"
Samurox screeches out loud then runs out of his citadel, calling his blue dragons to him, making almost ever blue dragons to throw off their riders as Samurox and Zilias goes straight to where the Inner Order crew are...
At the same time with Khatah and Shock-Ra, in Squire's End...
Khatah was sort of relaxing near Shock Ra, thinking about what Swaay said few days about someone is coming from his past. He thought only one person, Zilias, his once girlfriend. "...Zilias..." He spoke softly with worries and concerns. When she left the crew all of sudden, he became worry of where she is, but since years have passed by, he gave up on her searching for her, thinking she might be gone. But when Michelle yelled at him about being a true hero then later on Swaay mentioned someone from his past will return, he can't help but wondering about Zilias.
Shock Ra was in the same boat as Khatah is. He was thinking about his best friend, Swyft. After Swyft left with his rider, Zilias, he also was worrying about him. Wondering if Swyft will truly return with Zilias...
Suddenly, Khatah's com-link beeps, he answer it, "This is Khatah, leader of Inner Order crew."
"Khatah! It's me Michelle! You and your crew are in terrible danger! You all have to leave now before she-" the com-link suddenly went off.
"Huh? Michelle?" Khatah shouted as Shock Ra was wondering what was that about.
Suddenly, one his crew members, Sarjo, rushes over to him, "Khatah! The blue dragons are revolting, just like the red dragons and black dragons were! And something is heading towards our location!"
"What?" Khatah shouted. Suddenly, the doors were blasted open by something strong then they all heard a loud screech. The crew looked towards the opening and sees the possessed Zilias and Samurox.
Samurox spots Shock Ra, {Ah... you must be Shock Ra, the Prince of Blue Draconium Dragons!} the blue dragons of the Inner Order stares at Shock Ra then bows to him.
Shock Ra was shock then snarls at Samurox, {Who are you?}
{Why... I am Samurox, King of the Blue Draconium Fighter Dragons! ...And I'm using your old best friend's body to get to you...} Samurox grinned with evil.
Shock Ra's face was fill with surprise and worries, {B-Best friend...? Swyft?}
Khatah was staring at Zilias with total shock, "...Z-Zilias? Is that you?"
Zilias smiles at Khatah with malicious, "Hi honey... I'm back! ...Did you 'miss' me?"
Sparklie-the-Tiger/Me: That's all for now. Part 2 is coming soon. Please Review.
