Last time, Phistus has a hunch of what Kratox was talking about and mentioned about another crew, Dragon Fish.
Fury of the Sea part 1
Phistus then stops Dragon Booster before he left, "There's something you know about... I have a hunch about the next warrior dragon that will appear later on... It might be a dragon like the ones on another crew, the Dragon Fish."
"The Dragon Fish?" Lance repeated with confusion as Fracshun tilted his head, feeling confused.
Then Michelle explains, "The Dragon Fish crew is the crew that has Light Blue Nautilus Class dragons. Like the slippery Nautilus Class dragons, they ride and the dual-function light blue draconium gear they use, Marianis, their leader, and her unpredictable Dragon Fish Crew are very hard to pin down. Possessing a versatile blend of attack and defense, the Dragon Fish crew can trace its origin to the dangerous Light Blue Draconium Empire of the original dragon-human war; an empire that continuously changed sides in the fighting."
Everyone stares at Michelle with astonishment. "H-How do you know that, Lil' Sis?" Parmon asked.
Michelle tries to find the answers, but even she doesn't know, "...I-I'm not really sure..."
Dragon Booster jumps off of Beau and walks to Michelle, "What do you mean you're not sure?" he asked.
"I-I-I don't know!" Michelle exclaimed with frustration then calms down, "...It just pops up in my head..."
Dragon Booster stares at Michelle with concern, "...This is the third time this happened Michelle. What's going on?"
"I told you, I don't know!" Michelle sighed then looks away, "...I don't know..."
Leapdra nuzzles against Michelle's shoulder to comfort her rider. {It's okay, Michelle.}
Michelle takes a deep breath and explains, "It's been happening since I got here, in Dragon City... I don't know why or how, but it just came to me like I remember or something!" Michelle lets out a shaky breath, trying to calm herself.
Chute pats Michelle's shoulder, "Hey, hey! It's okay... Right now, we need to know what Flarox's rival has to do with the Dragon Fish crew."
"Well... the Dragon Fish are rivals to the Dragon Flares." Phistus explained. "And Flarox is the Warrior Dragon King of the Red Draconium Dragons, right?"
Pyrrah then exclaims, "He's right! My crew and Marianis' crew have always been rivals to each other, but we treat each other with great respect."
"So, that means maybe there's a Warrior Dragon King of the Light Blue Draconium Dragons!" Kitt exclaimed.
"But how can we be sure?" Khatah asked.
{He's right... We're not even sure what the next warrior dragon is called.} Said Shock-Ra.
Beau grins a bit at Shock-Ra, {You guys don't, but we have someone who knows.}
Right on cue, Dragon Booster calls in Mortis, "Mortis, come in! We just defeated Kratox, but we also found out that there's another warrior dragon and it's supposed to be the rival of Flarox."
Mortis answers, "The rival of Flarox? ...That can only be the King of the Light Blue Draconium Nautilus Class Dragons, Hydrox."
Michelle's head winces in pain yet again except this time a certain someone spots this, but who?
"Hydrox? Who's he?" Zilias spoke.
Then Mortis exclaims with shock, "Was that Zilias? Dragon Booster, who else is there besides your friends, Pyrrah and Sparkk?"
"Um... Well, just Zilias, Khatah, Spratt, Chute and the Grip of the Dragon crew..." Dragon Booster chuckled nervously. "They somehow found out about my true identity as Artha Penn..."
Mortis took a while to respond but then shouts, "...Artha Penn!" Everyone winces from the shout. "How could this have happened again?"
Parmon gulps with fright then nervously chuckles, "I-I guess that's my fault... Sorry Mortis."
"Don't worry Mortis! They promised not to tell anyone about this." said Kitt.
Mortis lets out an uneasy sigh, but decides to let it slide for now, "...Anyway, Hydrox is the King of the Light Blue Draconium Nautilus Class Dragons. This dragon believe it or not was Flarox's best friend and rival being equal in terms of power but opposite in terms of personality which would lead one to assume that he was Flarox's counterpart. Like the Nautilus Class dragons, he is very hard to pin down and he is very graceful and flexible on both land and water and requires a flexible rider with a sharp mind or he'll be very hard to handle."
Then Khatah asks, "Tell us, Mortis... Who's the descendant of Hydrox?"
"That would be none other than Poseidos, the dragon of Marianis." Mortis answered.
"Poseidos?" Sparkk spoke, feeling confused. "But why him?"
"Well... I have heard that Poseidos is a good dragon to Marianis, but he can be hard to control on the track." Pyrrah suggested.
{Well, he is a fish out of water...} Phorrj snorted.
Ferno snickered at Phorrj, {Phorrj, that's not nice!}
"Listen, someone needs to warn Marianis about this and this time... Make sure no one gets to that bonemark!" Mortis spoke sternly then the com-link went off.
Dragon Booster sighs then spoke to the leaders of the crews, "Okay, someone needs to warn Marianis about Hydrox and fast. Does anyone know where she and her crew are?"
"I do Artha." Phistus spoke. "I happen to know where her crew is. I'll go right now and tell Marianis what's going on right now." Brutaris mags Phistus on.
"We're counting on you Phistus." Dragon Booster told Phistus.
The leader of the Grip of the Dragon nods at Dragon Booster then Brutaris runs off to where the compound of the Dragon Fish crew is.
Dragon Booster turns to everyone else, "Everyone, listen... This is getting worse and worse by the minute. We need to make sure that no one gets the bonemark! Understood?" Everyone nodded. "Alright, let's head back to our own stables and be on the lookout for anything suspicious."
The dragons mag their riders onto them and The Dragon Flares, Inner Order, Dragon Wind and Penn Racing crews left the Grip of the Dragon crew compound and head back to their compounds.
Unknown to anyone, Moordryd, Cain, and their dragons heard every word from them. "Did you hear that, Moordryd?" Cain whispered.
Moordryd sighs at his friend with annoyance, "Yes, Cain! ...I heard. Looks like the Dragon Fish crew will be next later on..."
"I guess that means we'll have to go back to your father and tell him about the next warrior dragon, huh?" Cain whined.
Moordryd replies, "No... In case you didn't notice, I managed to record the information about Hydrox." He showed Cain the recorded info on his com-link. "All we have to do is send this information to my father and then we'll see what he will plan next."
Cain sighs, "I just hope your father won't find out about you collecting the bonemarks behind his back."
"As long as you keep your mouth shut, he won't." Moordryd growled a little.
Coershun looks at Decepshun with worry in his eyes, {This will not end well, huh?}
{When does it ever, Coershun? All we can do is just wait patiently and hope nothing bad will happen to our riders.} Decepshun groaned. She knows something horrible is gonna happen sooner or later, but remains to her resolve to stick by Moordryd at all times.
Moordryd contacts Word, "Father, Kratox has been defeated."
Word immediately responds, shouting, "WHAT?" Cain jumps up a bit from Word's shout along with Coershun. "How could one of the strongest Warrior Dragons be defeated by the Dragon Booster?" then growls quietly to calm himself down.
Moordryd talks Word again, "Even though Kratox was defeated, we found out about the next Warrior Dragon that will appear later on."
"Did you now?" Word spoke as the anger in voice fades away. Moordryd sends the record info to his father, Word Paynn. About few minutes later, Word answers back, "Excellent word, my son. It seems you're doing something right for a change... And happen to know the perfect one to take the bonemark of Hydrox, Dorsull and his dragon, Hy Dyv. But first, find the map of the temple of Hydrox." the com-link went off.
After the com-link went off, Moordryd scowl at his father then turns to Cain, "Let's contract our crew to get more help... We're gonna need more help later on if we encounter any crew members from the Dragon Fish crew."
Moordryd and Cain contact their compound. Swaay was the first one to respond and Moordryd told her to send either herself or any one of the other crew members to Mid City to meet up Moordryd, Cain and their dragons there.
"Understood, Moordryd. I'll send Rancid and his dragon to Mid City right away." Swaay respond then the com-link went off.
Moordryd glanced at Cain, "Let's go, Cain! We've got work to do..." Decepshun mags Moordryd onto her as Coershun does the same to Cain. They then race off in the city to where they should meet Rancid.
At the same time, near where the Dragon Fish crew are. There was a light blue temple with the symbol of the wave on top of it which happened to be the symbol of the Dragon Fish Crew. Inside the temple, was a small, light blue symbol, shaped like a wave floating in the room, pulsing with energy as it waits for its own vessel to appear.
However, unknown to anyone, even to Word, there was another unique bonemark, deep inside the compound of Dragon Fish crew and it's in a metal cube in a secret room in the compound where no one knows it exists as it pulses a warning that Hydrox is about to return from the depths of his 3000 year slumber...
Meanwhile at the compound of the Dragon Fish crew, Phistus and Brutaris just arrived and are now talking with Marianis and her crew about what happened before with the other Warrior Dragons that had been released and now about the arrival of the next warrior dragon, Hydrox that is gonna be released as well.
"...So, you see, Marianis... Things are looking more and more dangerous as the Warrior Dragons are being released and now Hydrox is next." Phistus told Marianis, the leader of the Dragon Fish. "And we fear that one of your crew members might get captured by Word to release Hydrox by taking the bonemark holding his spirit."
Marianis went into thought with great concern then speaks to Phistus, "...This is terrible... Word will stop at nothing to start a dragon human war. And now, so far, five have been released and we're next..." She looked at her crew with worry. ((A/N: Well actually, it's six if you count Furox, but he can fight on his own and no one, but The Dragon Flares, Dragon Eye and Penn Racing crews, knows about Furox's reappearance.))
"That's not all... We've been told that your dragon, Poseidos, is the descendant of Hydrox." Phistus mentioned.
Poseidos tilts his head with confusion, {Wha? Me?}
"Poseidos, my dragon? But he's such a good dragon." Marianis told Phistus as she patted Poseidos' neck.
"Yes, but has he been giving you trouble on the track for a while?" Phistus pointed out.
Poseidos snorts at Phistus, feeling insulted, {I do not give my rider any trouble!} then looks back at Hy Dyv, the dragon of Dorsull, {...Do I?}
Hy Dyv looks away a bit, thinking, {...Well... yes.} Poseidos gave Hy Dyv a stern look then snorted at him.
Marianis then thought about what Phistus before then sighs, "Now that you mention it, he has been giving problems on the track."
Then one of the crew members, Dorsull, asks Phistus, "So, what can we do?"
"You guys have to stick together at all times. Word will probably send the Dragon Eye crew to capture any one of you." Phistus told them all.
Brutaris spoke to the dragons of the Dragon Fish crew, {That goes for you guys as well... Stick close to your riders and your crew members. We must not let Word release another warrior dragon.}
Both Marianis and Poseidos nodded at Phistus and Brutaris. "We understand Phistus, and thank you for warning us about this."
{Yes, thank you.} Poseidos grunted.
After that, Brutaris mags Phistus on then he and his rider race back to their compound.
Marianis turns to her crew, "Okay, everyone! You heard from Phistus about what's happening! We must not let Word get any of us, so stay together at all times and warn us if you see anything strange!"
Then a small voice spoke up from behind the crew, "I'll help Marianis, I'll help!" The crew members look behind them and see a little 10-year-old girl with a young small, light blue male dragon. It was Katara, the younger sister of Dorsull and her dragon, Jabun.
"Me and Jabun here can be on the lookout for any danger!" Katara exclaimed with excitement.
Jabun nods with excitement, {Yeah! We'll be a big help for our crew!} then smiled.
Marianis, Dorsull and their dragons, Poseidos and Hy Dyv smile a little at Katara and Jabun's excitement to help, however the rest of the crew and dragons started to laugh.
One of the crew members points at Katara, laughing, "You? A look out? Give us a break, shrimp!"
"Yeah, you guys are too small for this this job!"
"Leave this to the experts, kid! This isn't a job for babies!"
Even the dragons laugh at Jabun. {You guys won't be a big help at all! You'll just be a very small help instead, pipsqueak!}
{You two will just get in the way, Jabun!}
{Yeah! You guys should just stay home and take a nap like babies!}
Katara and Jabun felt hurt and angry at the crew members as they laugh at them.
Katara tries to shout at them, but only cries, "We're not babies! We can do things like you guys can!"
{Y-Yeah! We're just like you guys!} Jabun tried to growl, but only whined a bit.
"Whatever, Shrimp! You just stay here and stay out of the grown-ups' way!"
{You guys are nothing but babies, so stay out of the way!}
Katara and Jabun whimper as tears leak out from their eyes then they both run out of the compound before Dorsull and Hy Dyv could stop them.
Marianis, Dorsull and their dragons glare and sigh at the crew members with disappointment.
Both Marianis and Poseidos shout well Poseidos roars, {"That's enough!"} The crew members stop laughing, noticing their leaders are not very happy about what they just did...
Outside of the compound with Katara and Jabun, the two young members of the Dragon Fish were near a park, sitting down as tears leak out. It's been like this with Katara and Jabun for a long time. While Marianis, Dorsull, and their dragons were the only ones who like having them in the crew, the other crew members always think they are just kids with inexperience and maybe just get in the way of the crew.
Katara sniffs as she wipes away her tears, "It's not fair! They always pick on us! We are just as good as them!"
Jabun nuzzles against Katara, trying to make her feel better, {Yeah... We may be little, but can do what they can do!}
Katara pats Jabun's head then stands with anger, "Those bullies... Those jerks! If there was a way to make them sorry for laughing us and calling us names, we'd teach them a thing or two!"
{Yeah!} Jabun squealed as he stood up as well then titles his head with a questioning look, {Uh... How?}
Even though Katara can't speak dragon language or understand Jabun, she can tell her dragon has a questioning look on his face. "I bet you're wondering how, huh?" Katara asked. Jabun just responds with a nod for yes. Katara sighs, "I wish I knew... I wish there was a way to find it!" she then kicks something on the ground to move it away, but it didn't move.
"Huh?" Katara looks down and see something light blue pointing a corner out of the ground. "What's this thing?"
Jabun looks at the strange object as well then starts to dig it out, {It feels kinda hard and it seems to be in the shape of a box...} he grunted then pulls out the box with his jaws, showing it to his rider. {What is it?}
Katara stares at the box with curiosity then takes it out of her dragon's mouth, "It looks like a box... And it seems old." She scans the box to see the opening, but finds none. "I can't seem to find the opening at all! Just what is this thing and where did come from?"
"...Wouldn't you like to know?"
Both Katara and Jabun jump up with fright from the voice then turn around to see Moordryd and his dragon, Decepshun. "I will be taking that, so give it here!" Moordryd scowled.
Katara felt afraid as Jabun bares his teeth at Moordryd and Decepshun, trying to be brave. "N-No!" Katara cried then Jabun mags her on then races off ahead with Moordryd and Decepshun in pursuit.
"Get back here, you little brat!" Moordryd yelled.
"No, you're the leader of that bad crew!" Katara shouted as Jabun takes a quick turn at the next corner. The young ones were trying to get back to the Dragon Fish compound and outrun Moordryd and Decepshun at the same time.
Moordryd calls in Cain and Rancid on his com-link, "Cain! Rancid! I found the map but there's a brat and she found it! Get over here and stop her from running!"
Cain responds, "Having kid trouble, Moordryd?" then he snickered.
"Just get over here and help, NOW!" Moordryd growled then turns off the com-link.
Jabun then swiftly turns in the alley to lose Moordryd and Decepshun. Then out of the blue, something lands in front of Jabun and Katara, causing Jabun to quickly skid to a stop. It was Cain and Rancid, along with their dragons, Coershun and Wile.
Katara gasps with terror as Jabun backs away and tries to run back out the alley, but then sees Moordryd and Decepshun at the entrance. "Okay, kid... Hand over that box and we'll just pretend this never happened!" Cain scowled.
"No! You're bad people! Leave us alone!" Katara cried as Jabun growled at the dragons.
"Not until you give us that object!" Rancid shouted. "Now hand it over you brat!"
{Your rider better listen before things really get nasty, tiny!} Rancid's dragon, Wile growled.
Katara then starts to cry as tears leak, "You all the same! You're just like my crew! You always pick on me! ...Think I'm weak! Just go away!"
Jabun whimpers with sympathy at Katara then snarls at the Dragon Eyes, {You made her cry! You're bullies just like those from our crew! Leave us alone!}
Moordryd, surprisingly feel kinda sorry for Katara. So did Decepshun for Jabun. "Hey! Just calm down!" Moordryd exclaimed. "No one here thinks you're weak..." Katara looks back at Moordryd with tears in her eyes. "We just want the map you're holding, it's not safe for you. Besides, even kids like you are a lot stronger than some of the older kids..."
Decepshun softly and calmly groans at Jabun, {Yeah... Little dragons like you can do big things like every dragon can. You were pretty fast for little dragon. Almost like a big dragon.}
Katara and Jabun look at Moordryd and Decepshun, wondering why they're being nice to them. Then Moordryd asks Katara, "You wanna make those bullies from that crew of yours pay for what they did to you? Then come with us to visit my father. He can help you with that."
Katara took a moment to think then slowly says, "O-Okay... No tricks?"
Moordryd stares at Katara for a minute then say, "...No tricks... Now come on!" then he and Decepshun walk ahead with Katara and Jabun in pursuit.
Cain and Rancid looked at each other with confusion and shock on their faces as they saw what just happened as their dragons did same thing. They then follow after their leader, wondering what will happen next as they head towards to Word's Citadel...
