Time Skip…

The complex tunnels of Dragon-City sewer systems are easy to get lost in and hard to navigate. With each passageway hard to distinguish from the next, it's hard to tell how long they've been down there. So after what felt like hours, the gang felt fatigue building up after all the walking they've done.

Lance turns to his brother. "Artha, how much longer do you think we've got to walk?" He questions.

"I don't know Lance," Artha answers as he rubs his nose tiredly. "Parmon, how are you feeling?" He asks noticing his friend lagging behind them.

"Hungry and tired," he answers Artha's question duly.

With the boys chatting just ahead of her, Kitt's eyes start to wander as she take in grey and brown walls around them, her aquamarine eyes soon narrow as she looks around and stops with everyone halting as well.

"Kitt, why did you stopped?" Lance asks as Parmon pulls up to her.

Parmon questions, "Is it Wyldfyr? Is he tired?"

Kitt shakes her head. "No, it's not that."

"Then what?" Parmon asks.

"Well… I hate to tell you guys" She jumps off Wyldfyr and slowly speaks, "but we passed this place before."

"What?! What do you mean we've been here before?" Parmon asks nervously.

"You mean we walked all the way around the whole sewer system?" Lance asks as him and Fracshun walks over to Beau and Artha.

"That just can't be," Parmon disagrees as he leans against Cyrano's body and rubs his side, "Poor Cyrano can't go any further, he's so tired."

"Looks like we're taking a break," Artha states as he knows Beau is also exhausted.

Parmon soon stands up, "I just can't believe we got lost in these stupid pipes again!" He punches a pipe and then grabs his hand in pain. "Oh! Ow, ow, ow! That hurts a lot."

Leaning against the pipe he just punched, he hears it groan as he feels it shifts under him, "What the-?" Before he could finish the wall divides into two parts which slide away from each other with Parmon trying to balance himself; however, he slips and falls down. "AH!"

"Parmon!" the group chorus as they run near the opening.

"Ooh… Ow," Parmon's voice could be heard.

"Parmon," Artha calls, "Parmon are you okay?"

"I'm fine," his voice echoes back.

Few minutes later…

They all slid down the passageway and Artha smiles happily, "Parm, you helped us find a way to the wastelands. You should be proud of yourself man."

Parmon crosses his arms over his chest annoyed, "Oh yeah. I feel so proud of myself."

He jumps back on Cyrano and follows the rest of the gang. They walk near a cave and debated about going in or not. They decided not, because they were ill-prepared and also weren't sure if the Keepers Crew was even in said cave.

Lance commented, "This is when you wished you were good at tracking. We could easily find them if we knew how to track their footprints."

"Or," Kitt suggests, "We can leave some of the parts we brought and see if Stewardd or anyone from his crew comes to take them."

"Besides, it'll be nice to relax here." Artha adds in too.

He jumps off Beau and looks up at the starry sky. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Beau looks up and growls in agreement while the rest follow them and see how the star truly shine.

"Wow," Lance speaks with a smile, "There are so many stars in the sky tonight."

"They've always been there," Parmon started out. "The only reason why we can't see them as clearly back home is because of all the lights in the city."

Parmon adds quietly, "You know that way back in the past, many aboriginals believed that once a dragon and its partner died; that they would ascend to the stars to keep an eye on their family and help them in times of need."

"Really?" Lance asks interested.

"Really," Parmon nods with a smile, "Simply amazing how strong a bond is between a dragon and its rider."

"Yeah." Kitt smiles. "Though, we should really be setting up just in case if we meet any members from the Keepers Crew." She suggests.

"Right," Artha nods as he walks back to Beau and grabs his pack with some broken gear.

"Where should I put this?"

"Over there by that rock formation," Kitt points to a close tall and rugged rock formation.

He stands up and explains to everyone, "Now, all we've to do is wait for them to make a move. Which means we've to take shifts watching over the stuff."

"Got it?" he asks his group and then they all nod yes.

Artha walks towards it with Beau at his side and lays down the broken parts.

"So who should take first shift?" Kitt asks.

"Beau and I could do it," Artha offers.

Parmon suggests, "Okay. Then next could be me and Cyrano."

Kitt adds, "Then Lance and Fracshun and finally Wyldfyr and I will take the last post."

"Good then," Artha agrees. "It's decided."

Few minutes into the guard job…

Beau and Artha kept watch on the parts; however, Artha kept rubbing his eyes.

Beau lightly groans at him and Artha replies, "I know Beau. I know, but my eyes can't seem to stay open."

Beau looks at Artha's bandaged leg with worriment in his eyes. "I'm fine boy. Really, I'm fine. It's just a small cut, that's all." He reassures as he pets Beau carefully.

Beau nuzzles against Artha as he pets Beau, "It's all right boy, everything is going to be all right. Don't worry."

"Beau and Artha." Both turn and see Cyrano and Parmon beside them, "Take a break, your shifts. It's our turn to stand watch."

They both nod and walk back to the others while they look over the parts. However Parmon's eyes kept looking at the Green armlet.

"Hmm. I wonder where the medallion would piece for this armlet could be."

Cyrano roars and Parmon laughs as he pets Cyrano, "Just think about it Cyrano, me the Power Booster and you the Legendary Dragon of Power. You'll probably look different when you transform, like how Beau does it."

Cyrano looks at Parmon who grins. "Then we could help Artha more than just being the brains. Just think we can both be the brains and the muscle."

Parmon flexes his arms, "See?"

Cyrano laughs and Parmon drops his arms at his side, "Thanks Cyrano. I thought you would be behind me."

Cyrano licks him and he laughs, "Okay, okay. I get Cyrano. Okay."

Cyrano stops and Parmon whips off the slobber, looking sternly at large Bull-Class dragon, causes Cyrano pout; and then smiles as he hugs Cyrano.

Hours later…

Kitt was keeping guard over the broken gear and couldn't help but think about those monsters back at the sewers.

'Those things were definitely scary. I just hope that we don't have to see them again anytime soon. I wonder if this has anything to do with Armeggaddon. Maybe he's making his move, maybe he made those creatures… With Artha still recovering from the Dragball incident and now with this attack. This has to be his doing. I wish I was stronger. I wished I could do more, but…I can't.'

She turns to Wyldfyr and whispers, "Both you and me are going to use that practice course Beau and Artha uses. If we train hard enough, maybe we can help out more. Right?"

Wyldfyr roars in agreement and licks her face. She smiles, "Thanks boy."

Artha was back on guard duty; however, he was extremely tired still. He yawns as he stretches with Beau looking concerned at him.

Beau growls and Artha speaks tiredly, "I'm fine Beau. I'm just a little tired."

He sniffles as he lays his head back against Beau's back. He slowly closes his eyes as he speaks, "Beau, thanks for having my back."

Beau lightly growls as he wraps his tail around Artha, feeling the urge to sleep taking over himself as well.

Artha's Dream…

Beau and he were walking to a rustic temple while he glances at the place. "Hrm... I think this is the place."

Before them stood long flights of stairs of the step pyramid-like temple. He turns to Beau, "Look at the sight boy. Maybe we can find the answers for Parmon's armlet here."

Both look back to the long flight of stairs led up one side of the building towards the temple's door. "Well, we're never going to find any answers waiting outside. Right Beau?"

Beau nods and Artha jumps onto his back as they both climb up the steps until they found themselves at the entrance to the temple.

Artha wasn't sure what kind of building it was, or what it was dedicated to; after all, the Magna Draconis was very vague as to what was exactly contained inside the temple. Both knew that they had the best chance of getting the answers by themselves. Artha adjusts his backpack on his back as he examines the exterior of the door.

"Hmm...," he mutters softly, "you'd think someone could find the door pretty easily with the size of this temple."

Beau growls as he glows and sends mag-energy in a straight line towards the door before them, the wall absorbs the gold energy as it reveals two set of doors. Beau stops and smiles while Artha pats him, "Wow Beau, thanks for that. You probably wouldn't know which way to go though, would you?"

Beau shakes his head no and Artha sighs, "Thought so."

Artha looks at both ways carefully and closely, "Well, it appears they might be going the same way. Let's try the door on the right first."

They go inside and Artha notes how beautiful the hallway looks with the carved stones of images of animals, murals and strange artifacts.

Artha jumps off Beau and walks over to the wall as he gingerly touches it, "Man, Parm would have a field day with this."

He continues talking as he walks beside the wall while touching it, "He probably would be looking over the symbols of the Legendary Boosters and the respected carvings and pictures preserved here as well. Maybe another time, but right now we have to see if this temple can tell us the location of the Green armlet and maybe the others if we're lucky."

He stops as he sees some pictures that catch his eyes because many of them showed the individuals whose features rather exaggerated, and often somewhat draconic. "Weird."

Artha lowly mumbles as he recoils his hand from the wall and walks back to Beau. "Come on boy, let's leave this place."

They venture down the hallway until they find a large corridor and it had three pictures on it. It has a picture of a human, a dragon, and a heart etched into it.

"I wonder what this really means," Artha asks as he touches the corridor. "Maybe it was a bad idea to leave the others behind, Beau. Parm's help could really be useful now to understand these old symbols."

Beau walks over to them and he points to something, but Artha isn't paying attention to it. So Beau whacks Artha's head with his tail. "Ow, what Beau?"

He turns to where Beau was and could see that the wall had the same picture; however, the dragon and human were on either side of the heart. Beau and Artha look at it and then to each other as they back away from it. "Okay, let's just find some clue and then get out of this place."

Moving past the corridor, they find themselves in a much larger room. It was quite spacious, filled with various carvings.

"Hmmm?" Artha scratches his head, "Isn't it weird that this room is the biggest, but there's nothing here."

He turns to Beau, "Don't you find it weird?"

Beau nods and Artha continues, "All I know is that if I were to leave Lance alone with such a long silence, there had to be some sort of problem or trouble."

He looks around as Beau copies his action, "Speaking of trouble, we should have run in to some by now. You know like an ambush, a guard, or a booby trap."

Artha hops back onto Beau's back as they continue walking through the room; however, both heard a loud cracking sound. Beau picks his head up the moment the sound rang out, instinct and his reflex told him danger was near!

They told him to run, and to run now! Quickly Beau hurried across the crumbling floor, which continued to let out several alarming cracks as stones fell down to the water below. Beau started to fall further behind the cracks with Artha encouraging him. "Come on Beau, you got this! You can do this!"

Just before they reached near the side, they jumped over the collapsing floor and made it safely to the landing. Both looked over the edge on the vacant and floor-less room, seeing a rushing furious river. Where it led, neither of them wanted to know, the last thing they needed was to be washed very far away.

"Good thing you kept going Beau. You saved both of our lives." Artha compliments Beau.

He pats Beau and stops as Beau gasps for air. "Beau, everything is all right now." Artha softly speaks.

He nods to Artha's words as they continue to walk down the hallway.

"I wonder who built this place..." Artha states lowly as they carefully step into the next room. "SO weird to have a place such as this so far underground."

He asks Beau, "Unless there is something down here that is either really important or of worth. Whatever it may be, we should tread cautiously."

Beau nods agreeing as they crossed through the empty room. Unseen is a hidden panel on the floor, with Beau's left hind leg panel on it. Beau feeling the change in elevation stops.

"What's up Beau?"

Beau turns his back to his hind leg and Artha notices it too. "Oh no."

Artha looks around, "Beau, get ready to run like crazy again."

Beau faces down the room and sets his body ready into a sprint position while he gulps. Beau quickly bolts and the panel raises back to its original place, darts immediately started raining down on them both. One impale itself into Artha's leg. "OW!"

Artha looks over to his calf and sees the dart, he grabs it and yanks it out of his leg, hissing in pain while Beau runs down through the room and out of the danger.

Artha jumps off Beau and leans against a wall, gasping for air as he holds his leg. "Man... It hurts."

Beau warbles softly to Artha while Artha smiles and pets him, "It's all good boy."

They continue walking down the path, ascend up a spiraling staircase and finally both entered a large circular room. In the middle of it was a small sphere, waiting on a pedestal. Artha sighs as he jumps off Beau and starts walking, but breathing heavily, "Man I...I need to exercise more."

Artha pats his stomach, "I feel kinda fat down there."

Once they approach it, Artha grins at the sphere carefully and noted how it had the colors of all the main Draconium dragons in such a beautiful style.

Artha knows that taking the statue without any back-up plan for surprised traps, was undoubtedly a bad idea. It was the last thing they needed.

"I wonder what's inside," he turns to Beau, "Do you have a guess?"

Beau roars and Artha snorts, "Yeah, maybe some old sect of people worshiped this thing. The meanings of this could be countless, you know Beau?"

Beau nods as Artha takes another walk around it, he carefully examined it for anymore pressurized plates or any other traps; however, he didn't see any openings for darts, or any panels that could detect weight; indeed, it seemed like the altar was completely safe. Once he deemed it was sure enough safe, Artha looks to Beau. "I'm going to grab it. It might have a clue."

Beau growls with concern. "Don't worry. I'm pretty sure it wasn't something really important, because if it was there would be traps here. However, there aren't any." Artha states confident everything would go right.

Beau nods and Artha assumes it meant, 'Okay, whatever you say. Just be careful.'

Artha touches the sphere and removes it off the stand. "Wow... It feels so warm, very warm. Feel Beau."

Artha passes the sphere to Beau and he rubs it gently, shaking his head in agreement with Artha's statement. Artha places it inside his backpack and then heard his stomach growl lightly. "Huh, guess after all the running made me hungry."

Even louder he hears Beau's stomach growl also and laughs, "Sounds like you need some food too."

So he pulled some food between the two of them and they ate it. While eating, Artha couldn't help but think about the sphere. 'What was it exactly? Does it even mean anything?'

Trying to figure it out while in the middle of an ancient temple didn't sit well with him. Figuring that he could examine it once they had made their way out.

'Wait... How can we get out of here? The way back is gone.'

Artha turns to Beau, "Beau, you wouldn't have happened to know some fancy way to get out of here?"

He shakes his head no to Artha's question and Artha replies, "Of course not. Well, looks like we'll get out the hard way. There has to be more than one exit to this place."

Artha jumps out Beau's back and speaks, "Beau, I believe it's time for us to get going."

Beau nods as they look around the room for a way out or a secret passageway. Artha sees a hint of color on the wall across from them. The color looked like it was red Draconium, then the other walls began to do the same thing with the other colors of Draconium. The colors soon surround them both as they begin to spin around before the colors started to merge with the others; soon a multicolored lights were encircling them. Beau and Artha were shell-shocked before the scene. Artha even jumps off Beau and walks over to the wall, touching the light. The light actually goes into Artha's hand, flashing all of the Draconium colors as he plays around it.

"So drac," he mutters turning in his hands what seems to be a tangible ball of light.

The light soon dissipates as he continues to gaze at the swirling vortex of rainbow around them. But, soon the room started to tilt to the side and both Artha and Beau felt their bodies slipping down to one side.

Beau mags Artha onto his saddle as the room tilts to a 45 degree angle and still going upward in that way. They immediately jump onto a wall as the room still shifts.

"This is too weird," Artha states as Beau nods to concur.

The wall they were on soon opens up and they fell down a slide that lead them to another bridge. Both scream until they had reached the end of the ride.

Artha comments, "Wow... That was something."

He adds, "Time to only cross this bridge and see where this way leads us."

So they cross the bridge, at the end it was a room full of statues and each statue was a representation of each Booster with their symbols. Artha couldn't help but look on intrigued by the statues before him. Beau roars loudly and Artha returns his focus into the present. He then jumps off Beau and goes to what Beau sees. Artha sees an inscription and tries to read it.

"Earth and Fire can be taken down

Under the sky, they seem to dwell.

Lower than the ground.

Nothing can be hear, but to tell.

Water runs its course through them, also around.

Even down a hole where even no one can hear the loudest yell."

Artha scratches his head in confusion, "Yeah, I-I don't understand this thing either."

Beau looks to Artha even more bewildered because it seems as if Artha knew that Beau was confused himself. Artha sighs as he turns his head and points out, "Beau, look there's a tunnel. It could be the way out of here."

He adds, "It shouldn't be too difficult. I believe we can do this. Beau, I'm going to just jog this time, okay? I don't want to become a lazy, fat slob."

They venture down, but it proved much harder than Artha thought it would. By the time they had reached end of the tunnel, Artha found himself huffing, surprisingly out of breath.

'Strange,' he thought, 'I did all that training and never once did I feel this winded. I was fine before we entered this temple. Maybe it could be all the jogging, maybe I hurried myself and wasted most of my energy. I must've tired myself out, that's it.'

He couldn't figure out why it would wear him down so quickly, but he resolved to take a slower pace until he caught his breath; however, Beau noticed the changed and waited for Artha to catch up to him. Artha's breathing slowed soon enough as he let himself rest, and soon he felt right as rain again. He pets Beau, "Thanks for waiting for me Beau."

They find another staircase before them and Beau was ready to go, but stops as he hears some deep breathing. He turns to Artha and sees that Artha was leaning against a wall, gasping for air.

"Why … am … I... so...tired," Artha gasps, "It... is... as... if... I... had... been...running with... weights attached... to... my... legs."

Artha could feel his limbs burning like he had been running for miles on end. He slides down to a sitting position, after that he rubs his injured leg trying to figure out why he was so sore.

Artha got back to his feet as he walks over to Beau, ready to continue once he had gotten his breath back again. Beau growls at Artha and Artha retorts, "Okay, okay. I'll take it slow from here on out."

Artha adds, "Besides, we still have a long journey back home."
