Last time, the Down City Council of Twelve had warned Wulph; the leader of the Army of the Dragon crew, about the Ancient Warrior Dragon of Purple Draconium, Zamparox. However, Word's Wraith Dragons somehow led Wulph and Hyve to the temple of Zamparox and Hyve is now the Ancient Warrior Dragon of Purple Draconium. In addition, Artha, having so much stress and pressure of saving the world, racing for the academy and fighting Word's Wraith Dragons and Warrior Dragons, has had it with being the Dragon Booster. Now, it's up to the rest of Penn Racing crew, along with the help of Down City Council to stop Zamparox from reaching the city...
Hunt of the Wulph part 2
After Michelle, Leapdra and Beau left to go after Artha, the rest of the Penn Racing crew, Mortis and the Down City Council took a moment before anyone spoke a word...
Mortis finally spoke, "...You all heard Michelle." Everyone looks at the Dragon Priest. "Send Pyrrah and Phorrj to help Marianis and Poseidos hold off Wulph and Zamparox long enough for the Dragon Booster and his dragon to come in and help us."
Parmon turns to Mortis, "But Mortis... Artha has..." Parmon couldn't finish the sentences. He, along with the rest, felt like there was no way they could get Artha back to stop Zamparox or hold off the Ancient Warrior Dragon.
"Artha will return as Dragon Booster!" Mortis exclaimed with faith. "Michelle will help clear Artha's mind... We must have faith in her to do so."
"But... How will Michelle do it?" Lance asked.
"Michelle isn't like everyone else and she does not have any ties to any of the known Draconium Empires..." Mortis answered.
"What are you saying, Mortis?" Kitt asked.
Mortis looks at Kitt, "I'll explain when the time is right. Right now, we have to stop Zamparox from entering the city."
"Mortis is right... It may not be much, but it's better than standing around doing nothing." Phistus spoke then speaks to Marianis, "Marianis are you still there?"
"Yes, I am. I was getting worried when you didn't answer back." Marianis answered.
"Listen, I'll send Pyrrah over there to help you out." Phistus told the leader of Dragon Fish crew.
"Huh? What about Dragon Booster?"
Phistus took a moment to speak again, "...The Dragon Booster is having some issues... I need you and Pyrrah to hold off our problem long enough for Dragon Booster come in."
"How?"
"You have Poseidos, since he has the strength of Tritox, he can help you, along with Pyrrah's dragon." Phistus explained.
"Of course! Tritox is about just as strong as the Dragon of Legend. And Pyrrah did tell us about Phorrj's transformation... I'll try hold Wulph and Zamparox off. Just send Pyrrah here. Marianis out!" The com-link went off.
"Just to be on the safe, maybe Sparkk and his dragon, Ferno, can help as well." Parmon suggested.
"Great idea, Professor." said Kitt. "That way Zamparox will get tired enough for us to stop that crazy dragon from entering the city."
With Marianis and Poseidos...
As Marianis got the message from Phistus, she and Poseidos knew what they had to do.
"Its times like this I wish I had brought the cooling gear Katara had brought with her." Marianis spoke to herself and her dragon. "But we still have the Tentacle Gear. Hopefully that will be enough."
{We just have to have faith in our abilities and our friends.} Poseidos chattered even though his rider couldn't understand him. {We can do this.}
Marianis had no clue what Poseidos just said but she figured that it was a sign that they could do this.
Meanwhile at the Cave of the Dragon Flares, Sparkk, Zuko, and Kimiko were studying about the ancient warrior Dragon that Oceanox had mentioned while their dragons, Ferno, Flame and Ember were speaking to each other about what they had just found out and about Phorrj's and Ferno's transformations into Blazox and Vulcanox respectively.
Zuko then closed his books and spoke to Sparkk and Kimiko, "Based on what Oceanox said from before..."
"Which Michelle had translated into English." Kimiko added as she smirked.
Zuko's left eye twitched a bit with agitation then he clears his throat, "...Anyway! It sounded like the next Ancient Warrior Dragon is known as Zamparox."
"Zamparox?" Sparkk pondered.
Zuko explains, "Zamparox is the Purple Draconium Ancient Warrior Dragon. Like other warrior dragons, she too was defeated by the Original Dragon Booster and the Dragon of Legend. Her bonemark holding her warrior spirit and power was sealed away in a metal cube and hidden away in a temple which is located somewhere around here like Oceanox's."
"Here, huh?" Sparkk muttered. "What else is there about Zamparox?"
"Well, Zamparox was trained under the Queen of the Purple Draconium Pack Class Dragons; Lupitox." Zuko explained.
Kimiko ponders a bit before speaking, "Lupitox? I think I have the book about her."
Before Kimiko could get the book, her com-link beeps. "Huh? Kimiko here!"
"Kimiko, its Pyrrah!"
Kimiko blinks a bit, surprised, "Pyrrah? What's wrong? You sounded kinda anxious."
"That's because we've got another big problem! Wulph has found the bonemark of Zamparox!"
"WHAT? That lone wolf, Wulph has already found that crazy purple dragon's bonemark?" Kimiko shouted. Sparkk and Zuko jumped up and looked flabbergasted when Kimiko mentioned Wulph had found the bonemark of Zamparox.
Jason and Cynder, who had just gotten back from training in the Lava Cave, Had heard the name Zamparox.
"Zamparox is loose?" Jason asked as he was speaking to the rest of his crew, "Please tell me you're kidding?"
"I'm afraid not." Pyrrah said, "And now Zamparox and Wulph are heading towards Dragon City."
"I guess I'll have to slow them down again." Jason spoke and went to get Cynder only for his leader to interrupt.
"Actually The other crew leaders and I already have a plan together." the Dragon Flares Crew Leader spoke, "Just send Sparkk and Ferno with the Red Thruster Gear Flarox used and your two Purple Tandem Gears."
While the Riders were speaking Cynder was just chatting with, Ferno, Ember, and Flame about the situation.
Flame looks at the red dragons with an anxious expression on his face, {Did you guys just hear that?}
Ember sighs as she shook her head, {Of course we did, Flame! Geez, we just found out about Zamparox, now this dragon has been released! This is coming too fast...}
{Way too fast! But I wonder what are our leaders are going to do?} Cynder wondered.
{Who knows? But right now, it sounded like me and Sparkk have work to do.} Ferno chattered.
{I'm kinda jealous that you and Phorrj have the strength of the two Good Warrior Dragons of Red Draconium.} Said Flame.
Ferno gives Flame a thankful smile, {And it's thanks to you and Ember. If you guys haven't found those bonemarks, we've wouldn't have been able to defeat Oceanox.} Ferno then heard his name calling from his rider, Sparkk. {Time for me to go!} Ferno spoke as he rushes to Sparkk.
{Good luck!} Cynder barked.
{And be careful!} Ember exclaimed.
Back with the riders, Jason just gave Sparkk his two Purple Tandem Gears.
"Remember, small flames... Use them when the time is right." Jason advised.
"I will." Sparkk nodded. Ferno stops next to Sparkk which made Sparkk turn towards his dragon, "Here, boy. Mag theses on."
{You've got it!} Ferno nodded and mags on the two Tandem Gears on his lower sides
Kimiko brings out the two Red Thruster Gears, "And here the Thruster Gears. I hope Pyrrah knows what she's doing..." she then handed the gears to Sparkk.
"Don't worry, Kimiko. We should be able to do fine." Sparkk reassures her while Ferno mags the two Thruster Gears onto his upper sides.
"Well, you two better get going and fast! The sooner you leave, the sooner that purple dragon is gone." Zuko told him.
Sparkk looks at Zuko, "It won't be easy, but I'm sure we can do it." then looks at Ferno, "Come on, boy! We've got meet up with Pyrrah and Phorrj!"
Ferno mags Sparkk on to him and runs off to where Pyrrah and her dragon are.
Meanwhile, Marianis and Poseidos had already met up with Pyrrah and Phorrj and exchanged information about what they knew and prepared to formulate a plan.
"So, you're saying if we use the Tentacle Gear and the Tandem Gears, we should be able to tire out Zamparox for Dragon Booster to show up?" Marianis asked about the plan.
Pyrrah nods at Marianis, "Yes, that way we'll give Dragon Booster some time to show up." /That is if he gets here.../ Pyrrah thought to herself.
Poseidos and Phorrj looked at each other. {What do you think happened back there? She seems to know what's going on...} Poseidos spoke to Phorrj.
Phorrj just shrugged, {Not sure myself... Let's just be prepared for Zamparox to come...}
Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice...
"Pyrrah!"
Pyrrah, Marianis and their dragons look towards the cry and see Ferno and Sparkk rushing towards them. "I've got the gears you wanted." Sparkk pointed out the Red Thruster Gears and Purple Tandem Gears.
"Good. Now Sparkk, when I give you the signal, use the Tandem Gears on Zamparox." Pyrrah told her brother. "Now, pass the Red Thruster Gears to Phorrj. He'll need the extra speed to slow Zamparox down."
Just as soon as Ferno and Sparkk gave Phorrj and Pyrrah the Red Thruster Gears to them, they all heard a loud roar-like howl from above. They quickly look up at the two of the huge, tall boulders and see Wulph and Zamparox.
Wulph glares down at them, "Well, well... I never would've thought I would see you guys here."
Pyrrah grunts a bit then shouts, "We're here to stop you, Wulph from entering the city!"
"And why is that?" Wulph growled.
"Because you're gonna let that bonemark control you and take over Dragon City!" Pyrrah exclaimed.
Wulph humphs at first, "But weren't you the one who used the bonemark of Furox to take control of the Down City Council?"
Pyrrah gives Wulph a hard glare for mentioning the Furox event.
"Wulph, please! Don't see what you're about to do? You're gonna cause chaos for everyone!" Marianis shouted, trying to get Wulph back into his senses.
"Please, Wulph! Snap out of it!" Sparkk shouted.
"I don't have time for any of your blubbering!" Wulph growled then Zamparox leaps down and lands in front of them.
Zamparox slowly crept towards the dragons, {My, my... The three descendants of two powerful kings; Hydrox and Flarox, are here to welcome me?}
Phorrj snarls at Zamparox, {You wish... I suggest you release Hyve right now!}
{But why would I do that? Being in the descendant of my queen is such an honor...} Zamparox slowly forms an evil grin. {What? Do you miss having such power?}
Phorrj quietly growls, irritated at Zamparox. Poseidos steps up, {Enough! Zamparox, you will release Hyve from your control at once!}
{Or we'll have to teach you a hard lesson!} Ferno growled.
Zamparox snorts, {Go ahead... I know you three have the power of those goodie-goodie Dragons!}
Poseidos, Phorrj and Ferno close their eyes as they felt the powerful energies surge through in their bones. Bright lights of red and blue shine on them as they form into Tritox, Blazox and Vulcanox. The lights die down and the Good Warrior Dragons glare hard the Purple Ancient Warrior Dragon.
{Get ready, Zamparox...} Tritox spoke first.
{Because this will be...} Blazox snarled.
{Your last fight!} Vulcanox growled.
Zamparox chuckles wickedly, {Then show me how strong you three really are!}
As the dragons got ready to fight, so did the riders.
Wulph grunts when he saw the Good Warrior Dragons, "I guess I'll have to deal with you guys first!"
"Try us, Wulph!" Marianis exclaimed without worry.
"We won't let you pass..." Pyrrah glared.
"We'll stop you from entering the city!" Sparkk exclaimed confidently.
{"Then so be it!"} Both Wulph and Zamparox growled then Zamparox fires a Mag Blast at them.
Blazox, Tritox and Vulcanox quickly dodge the Mag Blast and land a few feet away from Zamparox. The Purple Warrior Dragon fires Mag Blasts again at the Good Warrior Dragons two more times. Blazox and Tritox fires their Mag Blasts at Zamparox's, impact into each other and create a fog of dark smoke.
Pyrrah, Sparkk and Marianis cough as the smoke covers the area around them. "I-I can't see a thing!" Pyrrah coughed as she tries to see through the dark smoke.
Wulph smirks through the smog evilly, "...Now, Zamparox!"
Zamparox then fires a mag blast straight at Pyrrah and Blazox.
"PYRRAH!" Sparkk somehow sees the danger which made Vulcanox fire his mag blast at Zamparox to stop it from coming closer to either Pyrrah or Blazox. "Are you alright, Pyrrah?"
"Y-Yeah! Thanks, Sparkk!" Pyrrah responded.
Wulph then fires his bolo launchers at Pyrrah and Sparkk to trap them against the wall of the small ledge.
However, Tritox manages to fire his mag blast twice to destroy the bolo launches. {Nice try!} Tritox growled.
"Nice job, boy!" Marianis praised Tritox.
As the smoke clears away, Wulph drove Zamparox to change straight at Sparkk and Vulcanox. {"You two weaklings are our first prey!"}
Pyrrah then activates the Red Thruster Gears to make Blazox run fast towards Zamparox and Wulph. Blazox rams into Zamparox's right side, sending her and Wulph away from Sparkk and Vulcanox and crashes into the mountain wall, hard.
Both Zamparox and Wulph groan in pain, but still stand. Suddenly a ribbon latches itself onto Zamparox's back right leg and another ribbon latches itself onto Wulph's back then shocks them with high voltage. Marianis manages to activate the Tentacle Gears when Zamparox and Wulph crash into the wall.
"Got 'em!" Marianis exclaimed.
Pyrrah orders her brother, "Now, Sparkk!"
"Right!" Sparkk exclaimed then activates the Tandem Gears and launches two small conductive lines with one attaching to Zamparox's right fore-paw and the other on Wulph's chest, draining their energies.
From afar, Kitt, Parmon, Lance and their dragon were watching scene to see how the others are doing and wait for the right moment to help.
"So far, so good..." Parmon muttered. "If those Tandem Gears keep draining the energy of Zamparox, they should be able to defeat her."
"Yeah, but how long you think it can last for that kind of dragon, Parm?" Kitt asked, hinting that even though they're tiring out Zamparox, there was still a slim chance of winning.
"I just hope they last long enough for Artha to show up..." Lance spoke with worry.
{Us too...} Fracshun whimpered.
{I hope Michelle and the other two can get Artha over here before things worse.} Cyrano whined.
Wyldfyr glances at Cyrano {Keep thinking that and they will, Cyrano!}
{Sorry...} Cyrano grumbled.
Meanwhile as the others were holding off Zamparox, Artha was alone in the Old City walking in an attempt to try and clear his head from the pressure he was under. Nobody could blame him considering that the constant Warrior Dragon appearances were quite frankly burning him out.
Artha deeply sighs with stress, "I didn't ask to be the Dragon Booster! ...I'm tired carrying the world on my shoulders..." He stops walking and went into thought, /...I don't want this kind of life! I rather be at the stable playing vid-games without worrying. What makes me even more upset is that Michelle is sticking up for Moordryd. How can she defend him after what he did?/
He then remembers the event when Furox returned, the day when Beau saw something in Moordryd, something good. "...Maybe I am being a jerk, but what Moordryd did that night... How could I not have a grudge against him?"
Suddenly, he heard a snarl-like noise from behind him. He looks back, but doesn't see anything. Then out of the blue...
ROAR!
"WAAAAH!" Artha screamed with fright, but then calmed down and turned around to see it was Beau.
Beau then smirks, chuckling at Artha, {Made you jump!}
"Oh, Beau..." Artha sighed with relief. "You scared me, boy."
((Michelle's POV))
After Beau scared the living daylights out of Artha, I nervously, but firmly step out with Leapdra from behind the knocked down pillars. "Well, there was a time when you weren't fond of dragons, Artha."
Artha looked kinda shocked to see me, but then frowns a bit, "What do you want now?"
I stop about a foot away from Artha, "...I just want to talk..."
"About what? How Moordryd is good? I should stop being a baby and act like a hero to save everyone?" Artha turns away from me, crossing his arms.
I can tell he still under pressure with everything going on, "...Artha, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I-I never knew it was Moordryd who..." I stop myself from talking, not wanting to finish the sentences.
"Well, now you do." Artha grumbled, still facing his back towards me.
I hate when he like this. "Artha, please! I know this is too much for you to handle and you have a right to be upset with this, but... You're gonna to have to face it; you were chosen to be the new Dragon Booster."
Artha scoffs, "And how would you understand? You're not the one who always has to balance saving the city, fighting bad guys and trying to get in the Academy. You're not even a hero..."
"There's a hero in everyone, Artha... even in those like Moordryd." I reminded him. "Besides, I know-"
Artha interrupts me, finally facing me, "Again, how could you understand?"
I slightly glare at Artha a bit, "Not me... The one before you... The Original Dragon Booster."
Artha's eyes went wide with a bit shock, "...What? How could he been through this when he stop the dragon human war."
I look down a bit then took a deep a breath, "...I once dreamt about him when I was little... About how he felt being under pressure from everything around him during war. He then spoke in some device to record what he said. But... it's been so long, I don't know what he said."
Leapdra nuzzles against my back to comfort me.
I then heard Artha saying, "I doubt someone like him would been through this..."
"How could you know that-" I suddenly stop and gasp out loud at what I'm seeing a few feet away. What I saw was a statue.
"Michelle, what's wrong?" Artha asked with concerns.
But I didn't hear him at all; I just stare at the statue then run towards it with the rest behind me.
"Michelle, wait!" Artha shouted as he runs after me.
I didn't stop running until I was at the statue. I softly gasp at it as I recognize it. It was the statue of the Original Dragon Booster.
Artha and our dragons walk up from behind me, gazing at the statue.
"...The Dragon Booster? The Original Dragon Booster?" Artha whispered with awed.
{So, this is him, huh?} Leapdra spoke.
Beau softly groan, {This is the very same one...} he then closes his eyes, focusing as the star mark on his head shines brightly.
At the same time, a big star mark appears at the bottom of the statue then slides open, revealing an old recorder. Artha reaches for the device and took it out of the statue, "Drac! ...What's this?"
I gaze at it then realize something about it, "That's it... That's the recorder he spoke into."
Suddenly, the recorder plays a male voice, "...War has come to Dragon City..." it was the voice Original Dragon Booster!
"...Beau and I are the only things that stand in its way... We have allies, sure... Many dragons... many humans... But the responsibility is so great...they want a leader... What if I lead them wrong? ...Still...I am the Dragon Booster...and I've got to try!"
The recorder stops.
Artha took a moment to speak, "...So, the Original Dragon Booster really doubted himself too?"
"Yes, and he somehow stop the fighting." I softly spoke to him. "He wasn't alone, Artha... Like you, he had allies."
{She's right, Y'know...} Beau smiled a bit.
{And with his allies behind him, he managed to stop the fighting.} Leapdra softly spoke.
I took out the gauntlet and amulet then turn to Artha, "If he can do it, so can you, Artha." handed him the gauntlet and amulet. "Come on... We've got a loose dragon to stop." I gave him a confident smile.
Artha looks at them and at me for the moment. He then smiles with confidence, takes the gauntlet and amulet from me, puts the gauntlet on, and shouts "...Release the Dragon!"
((Normal POV))
Meanwhile the rest of the Penn Racing Crew was keeping an eye on the situation as the Good Warrior Dragons were holding off Zamparox. They seemed to do surprising well as they had the upper hand for the time being but they knew it was only a matter of time before they had to step in.
"So far so good." Lance spoke.
"Marianis, Pyrrah, Sparkk, and their dragons seem to have the upper hand." Parmon observed, "They might actually win."
"Don't speak too soon Professor." Kitt said, "Blazox, Vulcanox and Tritox are tough but how long can they keep it up?"
With the Good Warrior Dragons, as Marianis, Sparkk and their dragons hold Zamparox in one place; Blazox carefully crept closer to Zamparox as Pyrrah spoke to Wulph, "Ready to give up, Wulph?"
Wulph grunts in pain then slowly glares at Pyrrah, "...You think you fools have won? I-I've barely begun to fight!" Zamparox's eyes glow very bright as her body glows purple. She was get ready to use the Mag Burst.
"She's gonna Mag Burst!" Pyrrah shouted.
{Guys look out!} Blazox screeched.
However, it was too late. Zamparox burst out her mag energy towards Marianis, Sparkk and their dragons knocking them away from her and Wulph towards the boulders. Unknown to them, the hard impact somehow knocks the gears off of Vulcanox and Tritox; Tandem Gears and Tentacle Gear.
{Fools...} Zamparox growled then glares at Blazox, {Did you really think you three could beat me?}
As Blazox steps back a bit, {H-How?}
Pyrrah was shocked by the energy that Zamparox used, "How is that possible?"
Sparkk, who's still on Vulcanox, groans in pain from the burst, "That should've...worked."
Vulcanox groans as he shook his head, {What happened?}
"I-I don't understand..." Marianis grunted with agony as she sat up on Tritox.
{Those two should've been tired now.} Tritox spoke.
Both Zamparox and Wulph chuckle with evil, {"...Wondering why it didn't work? It's because your/you dragons have not fully mastered your powers yet and without the Dragon Booster, you're finished!"}
Vulcanox slowly stands, {Scales! ...We need to try again.}
"We're not going down that easily!" Sparkk exclaimed then pushes the button to activate the Tandem Gears, but nothing happens. "Huh? What the?"
Suddenly, Sparkk, Pyrrah and Marianis heard Lance speak to them via com-link, "...Guys! The Tandem Gears and Tentacle Gear are not on Vulcanox and Tritox!"
After hearing that, Both Sparkk and Marianis quickly look back on Vulcanox and Tritox's backs and don't see the Tandem Gears and Tentacle Gear.
"Aw, scales..." Sparkk groaned with worries.
{That impact must've knocked off the gears!} Vulcanox whined a bit.
Marianis and Tritox were about get the gears, but Zamparox lands between them the gears, snarling at them, {No, no, no... We mustn't let you guys touch dangerous 'toys' now would we?}
Tritox snarls back at Zamparox while Marianis tries to talk some sense Wulph, "Wulph, please! You don't wanna do this!" She pleads.
Wulph just gave her a malicious smile, "Maybe you're right... But you and the rest here are in my way of taking over the city... And now you all must pay for that!" Zamparox was preparing to use her Mag Blast.
Blazox and Vulcanox rush to Tritox's side to face Zamparox together. However, they knew it's a slim chance to beat Zamparox, but what other options do they have?
Back with the rest of Penn Racing crew, they saw things were looking grim for the Good Warrior Dragons and their riders.
"We've gotta get down there!" Lance exclaimed with great worry.
"Even if we did, how could we stop that crazy dragon?" Kitt exclaimed.
"And even if we could, we probably won't make in time!" Parmon whined.
Cyrano looks at Wyldfyr and Fracshun with an anxious expression, {Hate to say it, but I think Parm's right!}
{Then what can we do?} Fracshun whimpered.
{Pray and hope help will come!} Wyldfyr exclaimed as he looks on at the scene.
Back with the Good Warrior Dragons...
Pyrrah, Sparkk and Marianis were kinda afraid of what will happen, but hold their ground as their dragons prepare to fire Mag Blasts as well.
Marianis whispers to Pyrrah, "You think we might be able to defeat them?"
"Maybe, maybe not... The Tandem Gears should lower their energy levels." Pyrrah whispered back.
Sparkk glances at his sister, "So, we might have a chance?"
"We'll see..." Pyrrah quietly responded then shouts at their dragons, "NOW!"
Blazox, Vulcanox and Tritox fire their Mag Blasts at Zamparox as the purple warrior dragon does the same to them. The Mag Blasts were now pushing against each other with full strength, fully equal. The Good Warrior Dragons were grunting, giving all they got to push the mag blasts back towards Zamparox, but Zamparox was doing the same to them as well.
{She's strong...} Vulcanox grunted.
{That gear should've made her weaker!} Tritox growled.
Blazox manages to responds to his allies, {It has, but only partly and without the other gears... we might have a big problem! W-We must hold on a bit longer!}
"What are we gonna do?" Sparkk cried. "Zamparox is still too strong!"
"Even after using those gears." Marianis pondered.
"We've gotta hold on a bit longer for Dragon Booster to come!" Pyrrah shouted.
"But when will he get here? Our dragons will lose some of their energy soon!" Marianis shouts back as she sees the mag energies of their dragons are getting a bit lower. Zamparox's mag energy was pushing back the Good Warrior Dragons' just slightly back towards them.
Both Zamparox and Wulph smirk evilly, seeing that they'll win soon, {"...You lose..."}
All of sudden, everyone heard a loud, majestic roar from above. The dragons stops mag blasting each other as they all look up and see Dragon Booster and the Dragon of Legend. Even the Penn Racing crew sees them.
"The Dragon Booster!" The riders, minus Wulph, exclaimed with great relief.
{The Black and Gold Dragon of Legend!} The dragons, minus Zamparox, barked, feeling glad to see the Dragon of Legend.
Dragon Booster looks down at Wulph, "You have stop, Wulph! That bonemark is controlling you! Stop it before it's too late!"
Wulph just snarls at Dragon with anger, "Never! For once in my life... I have never felt so much power!"
"I'm warning you stop now!" Dragon Booster yelled. "Or else!"
"Or else what?" Wulph challenged the Dragon Booster without fear.
Dragon Booster secretly smiles to himself, "...Or else this!"
In split seconds, something rams Zamparox and Wulph away from the Good Warrior Dragons and their riders into the rocky wall. As soon as Zamparox and Wulph crash into the wall, they groan with agony and glare at the ones who rammed into them. It was Michelle and Leapdra.
"Michelle?" Sparkk, Pyrrah and Marianis exclaimed with shock.
{Leapdra, the descendant of Psyrox?} The Good Warrior Dragons uttered with surprise.
That caused Leapdra to groan with annoyance and glance at the Good Warrior Dragons, {Guys, seriously?}
{Sorry...!} The Good Warrior Dragons muttered in unison.
Zamparox looks at Leapdra then grins, {Ah... One of the descendants of Queen Psyrox... I never thought I would see a half-breed like you.}
{Oh, up yours, you crazy purple dragon!} Leapdra growled.
"Leapdra, the gears!" Michelle exclaimed as she was reminding her dragon.
{Oh, right!} Leapdra mags the gears; Tandem Gears and Tentacle Gear then threw them towards Beau.
"Now, boy!" Dragon Booster shouted.
{Right!} Beau growled as he mags the gears in midair and mags them onto him.
"What? No!" Wulph shouted. "I won't let you defeat me!"
Zamparox fires a mag blast at Beau and Dragon Booster. But the two legendary heroes jump away from the blast and land in front of Zamparox where the Good Warrior Dragon and Leapdra are.
Dragon Booster spoke to Michelle, "Michelle, me and the rest here can handle it! Go and hide somewhere safe!"
"What? And let you guys have all the fun? No way!" Michelle exclaimed.
{'Fun' she said...} Leapdra groaned as she rolled her eyes.
"Please, Michelle! I don't want you to get hurt..." Dragon Booster pleaded with concern in his voice.
Michelle took a second before she speaks again, "...Fine. Beat that purple dragon's scales!" She exclaimed with encouragement as she and Leapdra went off to hide somewhere. They hid behind a huge boulder and watch the final fight against Zamparox.
Zamparox growls at Beau, {No matter... Even with the gears on you, I won't lose!}
{I'll give you a chance to release Hyve at once!} Beau growled back.
Zamparox scoffs, {No! I refuse to release my hold on my queen's descendant!}
The dragons; Beau and Leapdra, and Michelle heard what Zamparox just said.
"...So, Hyve is the descendant of the Purple Dragon Queen?" Michelle quietly muttered to herself.
{But...who?} Leapdra wondered.
{Descendant of your queen? Who?} Beau demanded as he glares at Zamparox.
{She means Lupitox, The Queen of the Purple Draconium Pack Class Dragons.} Blazox told Beau.
{Lupitox?} Beau muttered.
Zamparox then screeches, {Enough talk! Die!} and fires a mag blast at Beau.
Beau fires his mag blast at Zamparox as his gold draconium energy stream collided against Zamparox's purple draconium energy stream. The energies push back and forth to each other every second, trying push farther towards their opponent's. Beau groans a bit with exhaustion. From all that running from the Old City to the Wasteland of Lone, Beau must've been feeling wiped out.
"It seems your dragon is too tired to fight back!" Wulph smiled with evil. "Give it up..."
"Have forgotten about them?" Dragon Booster pointed out that Pyrrah, Sparkk, Marianis and their dragons are still there with him.
As soon as Dragon Booster mentions them, Blazox, Vulcanox and Tritox fire their mag blasts once again with Beau, making a strong mag energy stream against Zamparox. The mag energies push back Zamparox's closer and closer to where the bonemark is, on her head.
Wulph grunts furiously, knowing time of his defeat is coming, "It's not over yet, Dragon Booster... Your time as hero will fail us all! Once the apprentice of the King of the Blue Draconium Energy Class Dragons is released, he'll defeat you before you can do anything about it!"
{Mark my word, Dragon of Legend... You will fail when the time comes... Fail everyone here in Dragon City! 'Cause like Flarox and Hydrox, Shock Ra's great Grandfather had an apprentice, and he will destroy you! HE WILL DESTROY YOU!} Zamparox screeched then roars out loud in pain as the mag energies hit the bonemark, knocking it off and sending it a few feet away from them.
Zamparox lets out her roar as she loses her fins and dark violet marks and forms back into Hyve. Same goes for Wulph as the dark violet marks disappear from his face. As soon as they fully went back to themselves again, Hyve and Wulph groaned with great exhaustion and collapse on the ground, unconscious.
A few seconds later the rest of the Penn Racing crew rush over to Dragon Booster and Beau. "Dragon Booster! You did it!" Parmon exclaimed as Michelle and Leapdra step out to see their friends.
"No, Parmon..." Dragon Booster spoke then looks at the Good Warrior Dragons, their riders, Michelle and Leapdra, smiling at them. "We did it."
Kitt then looks down at the bonemark, "So, what are we gonna with that bonemark?"
Kitt got her answer when Beau mags the bonemark onto his head. Like before with Furox and Hydrox, he absorbs the bonemark of Zamparox into his bone.
"Whoa! Beau just absorbed the bonemark!" Lance exclaimed.
"Yeah, but now we've got more problems in the future." Parmon spoke, worried.
"That's right... Wulph mentioned that an apprentice of the King of the Blue Draconium Energy Class Dragon will be released next." Marianis reminded them.
"...I think that means Voltox is gonna be next." Kitt sighed.
"Voltox? Who's that?" Pyrrah asked.
"He's the Ancient Blue Draconium Warrior Dragon from the original dragon human war who fought against the original Dragon Booster." Dragon Booster told her.
"In others words, he's the apprentice of Samurox." said Michelle.
"So that means, Khatah and his crew might be in danger." Sparkk spoke.
"That's not all..." Michelle muttered.
Parmon looks at Michelle, "What do you mean, Lil' Sis?"
Michelle looks back at Parmon, "What I mean is Hyve is the descendant of the Queen of the Purple Draconium Pack Class Dragons; Lupitox, at least that's what Zamparox said."
"Lupitox? Are you sure?" Dragon Booster asked.
"Not sure, but I'm sure Mortis will figure that out to make sure." Michelle told him.
{You also need to tell the Blue Draconium Empire about our friend Thorox. Since Voltox will be next, it's best to warn the leader about it.} Blazox told Michelle. With that, the Good Warrior Dragons form back into Phorrj, Ferno and Poseidos.
{Oooo... What a headache!} Ferno groaned with agony while Phorrj and Poseidos shook the dizziness away.
"What did Blazox say?" Kitt asked Michelle.
"About us warning Khatah's crew about Voltox... I think we better tell Khatah that he'll be the new rider of Thorox." Michelle answered.
"Wait... Who's Thorox?" Marianis asked.
Michelle explains to Marianis, "Thorox is the Ancient Blue Draconium Warrior Dragon from the dragon human war 3000 years ago. Like Blazox, Vulcanox and Tritox, he too fought alongside the original Dragon Booster and Beau believing that Humans and Dragons can work together with Thorox helping to defeat Samurox. Now, his bonemark is somewhere in the Blue Draconium Empire; in the compound of the Inner Order crew."
"I guess this means we also have figure out where to find the bonemark of Thorox in the compound of Inner Order crew and find a way to defeat Voltox..." said Lance.
Suddenly, they heard a voice coming their way, "Wulph? Where are you?" A dark purple figure and purple one skid to a stop in front of Dragon Booster and Beau. It was Tetsu and Aleu, along with Ferryt and Pursoot.
"Tetsu? Ferryt? What are you guys doing here?" Pyrrah asked with a confused look on her face.
Tetsu explains, "I was on my towards your compound to return a book I borrowed from Zuko when I bumped into Ferryt. He told me what happened to him and Wulph, so we went on searching to find them."
"Where is he? Is he alright?" Ferryt asked.
"He's down there, knocked out cold with his dragon." Kitt pointed down to where Wulph and Hyve were on the ground.
"Wulph!" Tetsu cried with worry, as he jumps off of Aleu and rushes over to Wulph's side. "Are you alright? Say something?"
"Who's he?" Lance asked about Tetsu.
Sparkk answers for him, "That's Tetsu, the cousin of Wulph."
{He has a cousin?} Fracshun tiled his head.
{Guess so...} Ferno shrugged.
Ferryt also jumps off of Pursoot as the purple dragons went to Hyve with concern. {Hyve? Come on, Hyve! Get up!} Aleu nudged Hyve's head gently.
{Open your eyes, Hyve!} Pursoot whined a bit, concerned.
"Wulph, wake up!" Ferryt shook Wulph's shoulders a bit.
Wulph groans a bit as Hyve follows soon after. Ferryt, Tetsu and their dragons step away from their leaders as Hyve slowly stands back up.
{Wh-What...happened?} Hyve groaned as she shook her head.
Wulph groans a bit as he rubs his head, "...What just happened?" then he notices everyone is looking at him. "What's going on? Why is everyone looking at me like that?"
Marianis spoke to Wulph, "Because Wulph... you just used the bonemark of Zamparox."
"WHAT?" Wulph shouted as Hyve snorted surprised. "Th-That's impossible!"
"It's true, Wulph..." Dragon Booster said to him. He then explains what happened when the Wraith Dragons chased Wulph and his dragon to the temple of Zamparox, taking the bonemark, attacking them and how they somehow saved Wulph and Hyve from the bonemark.
After hearing that, Wulph and Hyve looked down with deep regret and guilt. After saying they don't need help, they now realize they need more help then they think. Of course, Pyrrah, Parmon and Kitt told Wulph they'll help him get through this. Phorrj, Wyldfyr and Cyrano said the same thing to Hyve.
"Let's get back to Mortis and tell him what happened." Parmon suggested.
{Yeah, I second that.} Cyrano grunted.
"Wait! Did you guys mention 'Voltox' or something?" Tetsu spoke to the Penn Racing crew.
"Uh... Yeah, we did." Michelle responded.
"Well, lucky for you guys... I was studying about Voltox from a book I borrowed from Zuko. I only finished about half of it, but since it's about Voltox, I could study more about him along with Thorox." Tetsu told her.
"Really?" said Kitt.
"You could say he's a bookworm." Ferryt smirked at Tetsu.
"Shut up..." Tetsu grumbled.
"Huh... Just like you, Parm." Michelle smirked at Parmon.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Parmon exclaimed feeling insulted. The dragons, Leapdra, Cyrano, Pursoot and Aleu just sigh at the riders and mag them on before things heated up.
"Knock it off you guys!" Dragon Booster told them.
"Dragon Booster, my crew and Wulph will do what we can to help you guys find any info about Voltox and Thorox." said Pyrrah.
Wulph agrees with Pyrrah, "Yes... After what you and the rest did to save me and my dragon... today the Army of the Dragon chose to serve the greater good." He then salutes to Dragon Booster, along with Ferryt and Tetsu.
{Yes... we owe you and your allies for saving me and my rider.} Hyve spoke to Beau as she nodded to him with great respect, as did Pursoot and Aleu.
Dragon booster salutes back to the Army of the Dragon crew as Beau nods back to the purple dragons.
"Move out!" Wulph commanded then he and his crew members drove their dragons off, back to their compound.
"We better head back to our compounds as well, contact Khatah as soon as your crew and Wulph's crew find any information about this..." Marianis spoke to Pyrrah and drove Poseidos back to the Dragon Fish compound.
Dragon Booster looks at Pyrrah, "Thanks for holding back Zamparox... Sorry for what happened."
"It's okay... Just remember, you still have allies in some of the other crews." Pyrrah gave Dragon Booster a warm smile. "Come on, Sparkk!"
"Right, sis!" Sparkk responded. Soon, they too went to their compound.
As they left, Dragon Booster looks down at something in his right hand. He was holding the same recording device that he found and remembers the final words of the Original Dragon Booster...
...Still...I am the Dragon Booster...and I've got to try!
Moments later in Old City, the Penn Racing crew told Mortis about what Wulph and Zamparox said about Hyve's connection to Lupitox and about how the Dragon Flares and the Army of the Dragon will pitch in to help find info about Voltox and Thorox.
Mortis sighs with relief to know that they gained more allies, "...It's good to know we have new allies in the Army of the Dragon crew."
"Yeah, but we still have the matter of more Warrior Dragons appearing." Parmon pointed out.
"Yes, we do... Hopefully, we'll find enough information of the Voltox and the whereabouts of the bonemark of Thorox in time from Tetsu, Zuko and Kimiko. In the meantime, I'll check and see if Hyve really is the descendant of Lupitox." Mortis told them. "The city is safe... for now." The priest spoke and with that, he walks away to study more about Hyve's heritage.
Kitt turns to Artha, "Nice job... Glad you finally got your act together." smiling at him.
"Thanks..." Artha responded then slightly frowns with guilt, "But I should really be apologizing for the way I acted."
"No kidding..." Michelle grumbled out loud. She was only pretending to be sore of what happened before.
Artha slowly looks at Michelle with regret, "Michelle, listen... I'm really, really sorry for blowing up at you like that. You didn't know who did it and I was under pressure, yet I took it out on you... all of you."
Michelle took moment or two to speak, "...Well, there are two things I'd like to say and do." she suddenly punches Artha's right shoulder, hard.
"OW!" Artha yelped in pain and shock then looks at Michelle uneasily.
"That was for yelling at me in front of the others!" Michelle glared at Artha very hard.
Artha rubbed his shoulder from the punch, feeling he deserved it. Then Michelle suddenly wraps her arms around Artha, hugging him. "...And this is for coming back." Michelle softly smiled.
Unknown to her, Artha was blushing bright red then smiles at Michelle as he hugs her back, "...Thanks."
As Kitt, Parmon and the dragon awed at the scene, Lance suddenly smirks with mischievous and sang, "Artha and Michelle sitting near a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G~!"
It made Artha and Michelle quickly let go of each other. Michelle was too busying blushing while Artha glares at Lance, "You are so asking for a headlock-N- noogie, dork!"
Lance realizes he's in trouble then runs away from his brother as Artha chased after him while the others, minus Michelle laugh at the Penn brothers. Michelle looks at the Penn brothers then completely at Artha, smiling. She knows her feelings for him are bigger than before. She just prays and hopes one day, she and Artha could admit their feelings to each other...someday...
