Chapter One: Room 358

Artha was at Penn stables packing up his belonging before he moved to the Academy. " Artha take me with you" cried Lance. " You know little brothers aren't allowed at the Academy. Parm ran over and hugged Artha and said," I am going to miss you. Who is going to be my best friend know?" "Parm I will see you guys on the weekends. Beau you ready to go?" Beau nodded his head. Kitt came over and said," Try not to forget about of stable-boy." Connor then came over to his son and said," It should be interesting how the dragon booster will manage to save the day and be to class on time, huh Artha." "Don't worry dad, I’ll be fine. How bad could it be?" With that Beau and Artha took off, there destination the Academy.
Artha found the entrance to the Academy and picked up his ID, his room number, his class schedule, and which stall was Beau's. Artha got beau settled in his new home, which was a lot bigger and nicer than his old one. Artha then went to look for his room. " 358. This is my new home." Artha unlocked the door and opened the door. "Wow! This place is amazing." Inside there was a bathroom, a mini-fridge, two desks, two beds and the place was huge. Artha was curious to know who his roommate was. Artha would have to find out in the morning because it was late at night. Artha unpacked his belongs and rolled into bed and threw the blanket over himself covering his entire body.
" RIIIIINNNNNGGGG" "What the...aah." BOOM. Artha was startled by his alarm clock and fell off his bed. He noticed that there was a lump in the other bed probably his roommate. He was still asleep so Artha quietly got washed up and ready for his first day of school. He first had Chemistry were he started to learn what chemicals could heal certain wounds and other things like that. He then had a class learning how to repair gear, and then a class about the history of dragons where he read about the dragon booster. (He loved that) After all his classes for the day were over he went over to see Beau. Beau was doing great. The people who worked at the Academy had fed and gave Beau some water. Beau was asleep so Artha left and headed towards his room.
" What room was I in again? Right, 358." He opened the door and couldn't believe his eyes. " Get out of MY room Paynn. What are you doing here? O let me guess you have come to try and get me kicked out of the Academy. " "Listen stable-brat this is MY room." "No it’s my room." " No it’s my room." Artha and Moordryd compared the room information sheet they had both gotten and it said that the both had room 358.

Chapter Two: Truce

" This is great. I have my enemy sleeping two feet away from me and sharing a room." " This isn't exactly a dream come true for me either, stable-brat." " Will you stop calling me that? You don't hear me calling you Paynn-brat or Moordy." " Fine! I will lay off the name calling." " Listen Moordryd, I don't see why we have to be enemies. Why do we hate each other anyway?" " Easy that’s because uhhh. Wait give me a second... Okay why are we enemies?" " Because are parents don't like each other that’s why. You know when I think about it we have a lot in common." " What. Have you lost you yellow belly newt sized brain?" No. Seriously think about it. We both love to race, we are both a little over competitive, and we both are boosters." " Keep it down. Do you want the whole Academy to know who we are?" " Sorry. By the way, why did you always do you fathers dirty work, you know trying to start another dragon human war?" " I just did it because, well I just did." " Did you ever stop to think about what would happen to you if another war started. What would happen to your friends, your dragon and yourself?" " I never thought I would say this but.... your right." " Then why not use your powers for good. Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?" " That does sound nice." " What do you say Paynn, truce?" " Ok. truce." " From this day on the dragon booster, the shadow booster will work together to stop another dragon human war." " Ok penn-bra.. I mean Ar.th.a lets get some food before classes start. It’s going to take some time to get use to calling you Artha.


Chapter Three: The Lost Tale of Zulay

Artha and Moordryd were eating breakfast when Artha finally had the guts to ask Moordryd a question he had wanted to ask him for quite some time.
"Moordryd"
"Yes"
"I have been wondering...how come nobody ever sees or talks about your mother?"
The table fell silent. Moordryd stopped eating and got up and left the table. Artha didn't see Moordryd for the rest of the day, and he was a little worried he might have upset him.
Artha went over to the stables to see how Beau was doing. Beau was eating. "What a surprise," thought Artha. After checking on Beau four stalls down was Desepshuns stall. He went over there to take a look and saw Moordryd brushing Desepshun with a face Artha has never seen on Moordryd before, he was crying.
"Listen I'm sorry about what I said at breakfast. I didn't mean to upset you."
"Its okay. It’s interesting.... I haven't talked about my mother since my father was planning to trap you in the shadow track. He said that she was the last one to escape it. I never knew my mother. I was to young to remember her when she was around."
"Did your father ever tell you what happened to her?"
"...Yes."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"...Yes."
Artha found a chair and got comfortable while Moordryd stayed on the ground resting on Desepshun. It was getting dark and the stable lights went on and it was silent.
"You may want to bring your dragon in here to. In some parts of this story you may want a little extra comfort."
Artha went to Beau's stall and brought him into Desepshuns. Artha had told Beau a couple hours ago about him and Moordryd being friends, so Beau was getting use to being around Desepshun and Moordryd and not needing to defend himself from them.
" Well were do I start. Mmmmm. My mothers name was Zulay. Zulay Calinis Paynn. My father told me that she was very brave, courageous and one of the greatest dragon racers that ever lived.
My mother did not leave my father for another man. She did not die in a racing accident. She vanished into thin air. All that was left was her dragon. Her dragon, Hurricane was the fastest Sky Class dragon that ever lived. Hurricane was a beautiful dragon with pale colored with gray makings on his side that looked like a hurricane. That’s how he got his name. This is how the day went when my mother vanished.
It was an exiting day for her, she was 45 years old and was still dragon racing like she was 17. She had been dragon racing since she was 16. She was the one who got my father interesting in building gear for dragons. Anyway, a race was about to start in ten when she couldn't find hurricane. It was not like him to be running off before a race, he was very serious when it came to racing. She started looking for him while my father and I were in the stands waiting for the race to start. Back then my father was very nice, and just between you and me he didn't have a unibrow back then. My father told me to wait in the stands while he looked for my mother. He found her and helped her look for Hurricane.
She had searched everywhere and she had already missed the race (which made her very upset) when she heard what sounded like Hurricanes roar. She followed the roar when she found Hurricane stuck to a wall, with several layers of green trapping gear. She was wondering who would do this to her. She was a clean racer and had no enemies that she was aware off. Word found her and tried to get Hurricane out of there but it would take a while. Suddenly Word and her heard the most earsplitting roar you could imagine. Someone had shot green trapping gear at him and he was pinned to the wall with his face facing it, not being able to see whom the attacker was.
"Zulay...I have been watching you. You would be a perfect rider to join my.... crew."
"Whoever you are I defiantly don't want to join your crew after what you have done to my dragon. And what is that strange device on your head?
" None of those things are of any of your concern and besides my dear (chuckle) you don't really have a choice."
"Wha..."
Before Zulay could say anything else she was swept off her feet by the mysterious rider and was never seen again. My father did say something about seeing a blur of orange as my mother was taken away but that didn't help Dragon City Security find the person responsible for her disappearance.
"Moordryd...I'm so sorry."
"Its okay. The only thing I'm sorry about is that the disappearance of my mother changed my father. He was always so serious and not a much fun after that day. To help me deal with the loss of my mother he gave me Desepshun. We named her "Desepshun" to remind us that things are never what they seen. Hurricane running away, I think was a trap to bring out my mother. Beau gave Artha a nudge.
"Beau stop it."
Beau nudged him again a little harder.
"Has your dragon lost it?"
"Beau, what’s your problem?"
Beau picked up a stick he found near by and drew a picture of a dragon.
"What is he doing Artha?"
"Beau your right it must have been him"
"It must have been who. You know who took my mother. Whats going on."
Artha then shouted," Release the dragon!"
Moordryd its time to release the shadow. Trust me.
Moordryd then cried,” Release the shadow!"
"Artha what are we doing? Its a school night we have homework, we have tests, quizzes and a race tomorrow."
"Moordryd... We’re going to the Track of Doom."


Chapter Four
An Unexpected Delay

"Artha."
"Yes."
"We can't leave now."
"Why not?"
"Because its morning and we have classes."
"Oh. Right. We will have to do this on the weekend. Besides it's only Wednesday so that gives you plenty of time to prepare."
"I don't need to prepare."
"Moordryd you have no idea who we are facing. Oh My God. Look at the clock we have at our first class in ten. We will talk about this later. See ya later."
"Artha wait."
"What?"
"Tomorrow night is my birthday and I'm having a party at my dorm room and was wondering if you would... uh.... like."
"I love to come Moordryd. Besides it’s not like you would keep me out of my own room."
"Bye."
"Bye."

Artha was exhausted from staying up all night so he walked to his first class half asleep.
"Let me see. Now, where do I go first? Oh, I have dragon-racing practice for the whole day. I hope I can stay awake."
Artha walked over to Beau's stable and got him geared up and they headed over to the Academy Track for their first racing practice. There were about ten other racers there for practice. There were three Sky Class dragons, three Wraith dragons like Beau, two Earth dragons, Beau and of course one Black Psi dragon, Decepshun.
"Everybody QUIET! I am the dragon racing coach. My name is not important you all just call me Coach."
Artha was a little intimidated by the sight of this strong woman riding a huge Earth dragon.
"Today we are NOT using gear."
Everybody moaned and slowly put their gear back in their stalls.
"Now you all are going to go around the track three times and are to use only a blocking staff. First one to finish wins."
The track started flashing colors and then the track flashed green and Beau took off like a torpedo.
"Go Beau, go."
Artha then realized that this was his first race ever without having Parm talk him threw it. He missed Parm yelling at him when he did something wrong. He missed Lance interrupting Parm to say something stupid. Come to think of it I haven't talked to them since I left for the Academy. I should call them tonight.
"Woa!"
Artha had been thinking so long that they were already on lap three. Artha was in third place at the moment. There was a Sky Class dragon and then Moordryd in front of him. He went up next to the Sky Class dragon and it ran into Beau. The rider jumped and was about to attack Artha.
"Mag me Beau!"
Artha took off into the air with his blocking staff. The other rider tried to hit him in the stomach but Artha ducked and hit the rider in the back of the head. Beau passed the other dragon and sped up to Decepshun.
"You think you can beat me Artha?"
"I know I can Paynn."
The finish line was coming into view. Moordryd and Artha both maged off their dragons and had their blocking staffs ready to fight. They both crashed into each other and had their staff together and were now pushing each other to someone lost their balance of got hit. Nobody was budging and they were about to pass the finish line when Artha yelled,
"Beau now!"
Beau ran over to Decepshun and twisted and nocked her over with his tail. Moordryd fell and Artha passed to finish line in first place.

"Nice racing Mr. Penn."
Sentrus the Academy scout had been watching the race and was impressed.
"Excuse me for a moment." Said Artha.
He went over to Moordryd and helped him up. Beau also helped Decepshun up.
"Nice race Artha."
"Nice race Moordryd."
For the rest of the day the coach had everyone do drills with their dragons. By the end of the day Artha and Beau were ready to collapse. The next day was pretty boring; Artha had one class, history. In history he learned about the dragon human war a little. After history Artha went back to his doorm to do his homework, which he had a lot of. It was two hour before Moordryd's party and Artha cleaned up the room and left to go get Moordryd a present.

Artha arrived a little late but there were only a couple people at the party. Cain and the rest of the dragon eye crew were there and to Artha's suprise they attacked him. Artha and Moordryd started laughing.
"What’s so funny Moordryd." Cain asked.
"You know it’s rude to attack friends." said Moordryd.
He went over and helped Artha up.
"I'm sure you all remember Artha Penn. Well...he is my roommate and friend."
Everybody looked at him in shock but they wouldn't question the leader of their crew. They all had some draconi-yum cake and talked for a while. It was almost time for everyone to leave when Moordryd said,
"Present time." Moordryd said with a smile on his face.
Almost all his crewmembers had given new gear. Artha came over to Moordryd and handed him a big box that was pretty light. Moordryd opened the box and his mouth was opened wide when he saw what was in the box.
"Its a green jack-staff!"
"Yep. Just like Dragon Booster's."
"Were did you get it?"
"I know a guy."
"Thanks Artha."
Lastly Cain came over to Moordryd and also gave him a box, which was heavier than the one Artha had given him. Also he gave him a card that he said was from Moordryd’s father. Moordryd opened the letter and it said," Dear Moordryd, I hope you have not made a fool of yourself yet. I wish you good luck at the Academy. P.S. Don't be a disgrace to the name of Paynn." Inside there was a picture of Word Paynn, Moordryd and Moordryd's mother. Moordryd almost cried but he didn't because he was in front of his crew. Moordryd then opened the box Cain had given him. When he opened it a grin appeared on his face. He turned to Cain and said,
"Thanks for the cookies Cain. Did you make these yourself?"
"Yep."

Chapter Five: Welcome back to the Track of Doom

Finally Friday evening came and Artha and Moordryd were about to leave for the track off doom when Artha made a call to some old friends.
"You guys ready for this?"
"You know we wouldn't miss this for the world stable-boy."
"See you guys at the Track of Doom."
"I can't wait to go back there," moaned Parm.
Moordryd and Artha transformed into the dragon and shadow boosters and headed to the track.
"I see your using your new green jack-staff Moordryd."
"Dragon Booster I don't think we should call each other by are real names. Just to keep our identities safe. Only you, me and your friends know who I am and I would like to keep it that way."
"No problem."
They arrived outside the track of doom where Artha's friends were waiting for them.
"Guys, I want you to stay out here. If I need you I will call you."
"We'll be ready," replied Kitt.
Moordryd and Artha went into the track not knowing what would await them inside.

It was quiet. A little too quiet. Artha saw an orange dragon come right at them and they moved out of view.
"I know someone is in here. Show yourself!"
"Hello Reepr. Good to see you to."
"Dragon Booster. You have no idea how happy I am to see you. Things have only gotten worse since your last visit. Half of the prophets have been living in harmony with their riders while the other half has locked up their riders and have been following their leader, Prophecy."
"I didn't exactly come here to settle the differences between the prophets. I am here with a friend and we are looking for someone that we believe to have been capture by Prophecy and been taken here a couple of years ago."
The Shadow Booster stepped into view and Reepr backed up.
"Its ok, I'm on your side," said Moordryd.
"Who is it that you are looking for?"
"Zulay Paynn." Replied the Shadow Booster.
Reepr questioned the riders and found none of them to be Zulay Paynn.
"See must be one of the riders held captive by Prophecy." Said Reepr.
"Were are they?" Asked Artha.
"On the other side of that door. I must warn you the first sight of you and Prophecy will try and trap you in here again."
"Don't worry I have an idea." Said Artha with a smile on his face.

The door opened and the Shadow Booster stepped in.
"Who goes there?" Said a loud powerful voice.
"I am the Shadow Booster."
"The Shadow Booster. Yes, I have heard about you. You are an enemy of the Dragon Booster. You are welcomed here."
An orange dragon stepped into view that had a male rider on him.
"I the dragon, speak through the human. I am Prophecy leader of the prophets."
Now, while Moordryd was distracting Prophecy Artha released the prisoners and had them all on the other side of the door, safe and sound.
"Shadow Booster, what is your reason for coming to the track of doom?"
"To get back someone. Zulay Paynn."
Moordryd then ran towards the door and used a huge burst if mag energy to seal the door for good. Moordryd did hear Prophecy yell," This isn't the last of me you'll be seeing. You have made yourself a powerful enemy, Shadow Booster!"

Chapter Six: A Family Brought Back Together

"Now to find Zulay Paynn." Said Moordryd.
"Which one of you is Zulay Paynn." Said Moordryd.
"I am."
A tall thin women with beautiful white hair stepped up to the Shadow Booster. Moordryd smiled. He knew this was his mother. He could tell by her gentle but yet strong voice.
"I thought the Shadow Booster was evil."
"No. You must have been mistaken."
"Why have you come here looking for me?"
"We have come to bring you home to your family."
A sign of relief showed on Zulay's face.
"Very well take me to my family."
She got on to Decepshun and the Dragon Booster and Shadow Booster headed for Word Paynn's citadel.

Word Paynn was working at his desk when the Dragon and Shadow Boosters arrived.
"I have heard that the two of you have been working together, but I did not believe it. Why have you come to me, I have been very good."
"We have come here to bring back a loved one."
The Shadow booster then maged off his dragon with Zulay holding his hand.
"Zulay. Is.. Is that you?"
"Yes."
Word ran over and hugged his long lost wife.
"I thought I would never see you again. Dragon Booster why did you do this?"
"Don't ask me it was all his idea (wink)."
"Then Shadow Booster, why?"
Moordryd looked at Artha and Artha nodded. Moordryd knew it was time he told his father the truth.
"Well..........................I missed my mother."
Word looked at the Shadow Booster with a confused look on his face. Moordryd then took his amulet out of his gauntlet and went back to normal.
"Moordryd?"
Word said nothing not believing his eyes.
"I can't believe this. My son... the Shadow Booster."
"Moordryd, you have no idea what a surprise this is to me but I don't care what you are, I am just so happy to see you after all these years."
Zulay ran over to her son and hugged him. Word came over and hugged them both.
"Moordryd I'm sorry to break up this love fest but we have classes tomorrow at the Academy remember."
"Right. Mom, Dad I will visit you both next weekend. I love you both. See you soon."
"Dragon Booster wait." Cried Paynn.
"Aren't you going to reveal to me who you are?"
"Sorry Word some other time."
"No matter, I will find out who you are. After all I now know that you attend the Academy, have classes with my son, work together with him as Dragon and Shadow Boosters and that you are both very good friends.
"Shoot. Why did I give so much of my identity away to Word."
"Don't worry Artha. After all you have done for me I will make sure my father never finds out who you really are. Unfortunately for Artha Word may not know who he is but someone whitest the whole thing and now knows the identity of the Shadow Booster.

Chapter Seven: A Day at the Academy, Through the Eye's of Beau

YAWNNNNN.
"Man I'm tired after all that racing yesterday. Artha has no idea how hard it is to race at the Academy. When he was racing as me at in the All City races and had trouble he would be toast against these dragons. Hey..... the feeder is coming!"
Roar, roar, rao, ra, roar!
"Easy Beau I never forget to feed you," said then feeder.
Beau was always exited when the feeder came by. After Beau was done eating he and the other dragons were released onto the field to do what ever they wanted. Beau had made friends with two dragons so far. One dragon looked a Red Draconium dragon, his name was Scorcher and the other was a Blue Draconium dragon and his name was Atlantius. The dragons mainly hung out with other dragons like them. The dragons were constantly watched by Earthquake the coach's dragon. Earthquake was a tough as the coach and was very strict. He would make the dragons run drills over and over until he was pleased.

Now while at the Academy Beau has really gotten to know Decepshun and has quite the crush on her. The only problem is that Desepshun is always with the other Black Psi dragons and the males are pretty dangerous. Even Beau couldn't take them on.
"Okay you weaklings, its time to race."
The dragons lined up along the track. Decepshun was on one side of Beau and Scorcher on the other. This was Beau's chance to impress her.
"You ready to loose Beau," yelled Scorcher.
"In your dreams you yellow belly newt." Said Beau
"Hey Beau, isn't that your girlfriend next to you," called Scorcher.
Beau called
"No, you know I'm to good for her."
"Is that so." Decepshun said.
Beau froze.
"We'll see who is worthy once I cross the finish line first."
"We'll see about that," said Beau.
The track started turning colors then finally.... green. All the dragons took off as if their lives depended on the outcome of this race.

Now, all the dragon's riders were in the stands cheering on their dragons.
"No pressure," thought Beau.
The dragon's were already on their last lap and in first place was Beau, in second was a tough, strong Black Psi dragon called Shadow who also liked Decepshun, and in third was Decepshun. Decepshun was catching up to Shadow as the finish line was coming into view. Shadow was a very serious dragon when it came to racing and he was determined to win this race. Decepshun was now beside Shadow and Shadow was beginning to look worried. Suddenly Shadow whipped his sharp, spiked tail directly in Decepshun's face and she came crashing to the ground, badly injured. Beau was about to cross the finish line when he noticed what had happened to Decepshun. He quickly turned around heading towards here. The racers in the stands could not believe what they just saw. Beau ran over to Decepshun and crouched next to her.
"You alright?"
"No, (groan) I think I may have have broke one of my legs."
Beau got underneath her and helped her up. They slowly walked off the track. Beau helped Decepshun all the way back to her stall and waited to see if she would be all right while the medical team checked her out.
"Beau, that was very selfless thing you did back there," said Artha.
"Yes it was, thank you Beau," said Moordryd.
"Beau come here," said Decepshun in a very weak voice.
"I have broken my leg and I won't be able to help you, Artha or Moordryd while fighting crime. I am sorry."
"There is nothing to be sorry about."
"Again, thank you. No one has ever done anything that nice for me before. Good luck with keeping the streets safe. Who knows what dangers could be lurking nearby? Please visit me often. You know where I will be."
"I will."
Decepshun gave Beau a kiss his cheek and he left.
"Way to go Beau. You really know how to win a dragon's heart. Think you could teach me a thing or two?"
"Scorcher."
"Yes?"
"Shut up."

Chapter Eight: Confused?

(Why did I help Decepshun? I shouldn't have a crush on her. She's the Vysox, I'm the dragon of legend... it just wouldn't work. After all she's my enemy. Wait...but what if she likes me back? I should talk to her, without other dragons or humans around. I got an idea!)

It was early Saturday morning and Beau was up and ready for what he had planned that day. First he "quietly" broke out of his stable. Normally the dragons weren't released to do what ever they wanted for another two hours. That didn't stop Beau. (Now, I know people think Beau can only transform into the dragon of legend when Artha is the dragon booster. Well that makes no sense because Beau turned red and blue by himself in the first episode so he can turn into the dragon of legend when ever he wants) He transformed into the dragon of legend and headed into the city. He found some big pieces of metal near a dump and moved them so it looked like he was crushed under them. Then he made a loud roar. (Like in "Broken Bonds" when he calls the dragons it’s sort of like that and the "Stand" when he talks to them.) He was saying," Decepshun!" About half an hour later a Black Psi dragon came around the corner heading towards Beau.

"Well, well, what do we have here?"


Chapter Nine: Black Meets Gold

"Uh...Hello" Beau said in an innocent voice.
"I wonder how the dragon of legend ended up under all of this?"
"I uh... fell. Ya, that’s right I fell."
"I see. You fell and some how all these metal bars just magically appeared on top of you."
"Do you think you could help me out from under these bars. They're really heavy."
Decepshun rolled her eyes. She channeled some mag energy towards the bar and she, along with Beau's help was able to get the bar off of him. Beau turned back into his red and blue form.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
"So,.. are you uh doing anything today." Beau said in a nervous voice.
"No, not really. Why? Do you have anything in mind." Asked Decepshun.
"I was just wondering if you just.. uh…I don't know. wanted to hang out with me." Beau looked like he was about to faint when he said this.
"Sure, why not."
"GREAT! I mean.. okay.” A large smile appeared on Beau's face.

Beau and Decepshun walked around dragon city and talked about their riders, themselves and other stuff like that. Beau even managed to snag a couple of candy bars for them to share. (Awwwwww) It was starting to get dark so they started walking back to the Academy. They turned a corner and found Shadow waiting for them.

"Well, well, look what we have here. Beauty and the beast." Shadow said in a sly way.
"What do you want Shadow." Beau said with a growl.
"Decepshun, why are you hanging out with this.. this loser."
Decepshun then said, "This "loser" happens to be my friend."
Beau then said in a serious voice, " Why don't you just leave us alone."
"Why, what are you going do about it huh? Come on Decepshun, your coming with me."
"I don't want to go with you."
" Decepshun, you don't really want to hang out with him rather than me? You should only be hanging out with other black dragons. He is not a black dragon. He is.. well I don't know what type of dragon he is, but I do know that he is a freak."
FREAK. It was that word that made Beau shudder. That word brought back painful memories. He had been called a freak before. When he was younger the other dragons use to tease him about being black and gold. They said that no one else looked like him and that he was different, a freak. He thought that he looked like everyone else when he was in his red and blue form.

"Never call me that name again!"
"Oh, I'm real scared. Or what. You’re going to breath on me with your stinky dragon breath. You wouldn't dare fight me. You don't have the guts."
Beau could not take it any more. He jumped at Shadow and attacked him. Shadow dodged him. Shadow rammed Beau into a wall.
"Why would Decepshun want to hang out with you? It was probably out of pity. You'll never be anything but a freak Beau."
There was that word again. Beau roared so loud that the building shook. He pushed Shadow off of him and directed a mag burst right at Shadow. Shadow also shot a mag burst at Beau. Meanwhile Decepshun was yelling at them to stop, but it was no use. They couldn't here her, they were to busy locked in combat. Beau especially couldn't hear her. His anger consumed him like a dark shadow had clouded his mind and all he could do was fight. He was completely out of control. Decepshun was scared. It was like Beau was a completely different dragon.

Beau and Shadow were still attacking each other with a mag burst and it looked like no one would give in. Shadow's mag burst started to get close to reaching Beau. After about thirty more seconds Shadow's mag burst did reached Beau and he flying onto the hard pavement. Shadow chuckled.
"What did I say, nothing but a freak. And a weak freak too. Lets go Decepshun."
"No." Decepshun said in a stern voice.
"WHAT!"
"You heard me."
Shadow was so angry that he was about to whip his spiked tail at Decepshun when something had slammed him into a wall.

A black and gold dragon had Shadow trapped against a wall.
"Why don't you leave her alone. Isn't it past your bed-time?"
Shadow was not scared of the dragon of legend like others.
"Don't interfere with this. This doesn't concern you."
"I believe it does."
Beau let Shadow down from the wall and watched him. Shadow was about to make a move when Beau made a loud roar.
"Forget you."
Shadow started walking away. But, when Beau was caught off guard Shadow ran up to him and slashed him across the face with his spiked tail and then ran off. Beau roared in pain.
"Are you all right?" Decepshun rushed over to his side.
"No. His tail really hurt me. I can't even see through one of my eyes because it’s bleeding so much."
Luckily they were close enough to the stables for Decepshun to help Beau get back to his stall. Beau then turned back into his red and blue form. Decepshun found some bandages in his stall and did her best to cover the spot were Beau was bleeding.
"These cuts are really deep. I'll do my best to cover them up."
"Thanks."
"You really scared me back there."
"How."
"When Shadow called you a freak you completely lost yourself to your anger. It was like you were a.... a different dragon."
The stall was quiet.

Artha and Moordryd had been hanging out that day and they both were coming over to the stables to check on their dragons. When they appeared at Beau's stable they were in a state of shock. They were shocked to see the wounds on Beau, and even more shocked to see Decepshun WITH Beau.
"Moordryd, did your dragon do this to him?" Artha said sounding a bit angry.
Beau moaned. Artha could tell by the way Beau looked at him that he was trying to tell him that Decepshun had nothing to do with this.
"Beau what happened to you?"
Beau motioned his head to the stalls across from his. Artha saw a stall with a black dragon in it with a sharp, spiked tail. He assumed that that was the dragon that did this to Beau.

Artha came over and put the bandages on Beau.
"Come on Decepshun, its time for you to go back to your stall." Said Moordryd.
Decepshun growled at him.
"Okay, okay. You can stay here for the night, I guess."
Beau crawled over to the cushioned bed and lay down in it. Decepshun curled up in the bed too. Artha and Moordryd left the stables and headed to their room.

"Did you really mean what you said earlier? That you would rather hang out with me rather than Shadow." Asked Beau.
"Of course I meant it. Besides Shadow's a jerk. And he was wrong."
"About what?"
"You being a freak. You don't act like a freak and you defiantly don't look like a freak. I think he's just jealous because you’re better looking than him."
"Thanks."
Decepshun liked him on the check and they fell asleep soon after.

"Boss, I think you might be interested in this."
A man hooded in a black cloak with long black hair was contacting some one on his VIDDLink while he was in a dark alley. His dragon was a bipedal dragon and was a pure black draconium dragon that had bright red eyes and was completely black except for his gray spikes and claws. This dragon was about the same size of the mighty gray boned dragon Libris.
"What, this better be important Vysoadon."
"It is. Well, I was spying on the dragon of legend and he was in a fight. When the enemy called him a freak his anger took over him. He was lost in his anger. He acted like a completely different dragon. He wouldn't listen to his friend and all he could do was fight."
"Interesting." Said the man on the VIDDLink.
"Come back to the hideout. You, and the rest of the league of eight have work to do."

Chapter Ten: Busted

It was the fourth week of school and everything was going pretty well. The only problem was that at least three times a week during class Artha would leave to go use the bathroom when he was really going to stop some crime or crises as the Dragon Booster. He would not return to class and was usually late for the next one.

One day during history over the announcement speaker the secretary said in a stern voice,
" Artha Penn, please report to the principal's office at once!"
Some of the students nearby Artha snickered, " Man he must be in a lot of trouble."
"This is great I haven't even been at the Academy for more than two months and already I have to go the principal's office." Artha moaned.
Artha slowly got up from his seat and headed towards the door. He walked to the secretary's office and sat down in a seat. Immediately the secretary said,
"The principal will see you now."
"Now?"
"Yes now!"
Artha went into the principal's office and saw a large black chair that had its back towards Artha, making it so he couldn't see the principal. In fact Artha had never seen the principal. He didn't even know who it was.
"Hello Mr. Penn."
The chair slowly turned around and Artha saw some one he did not expect to see. Sentrus

"Sentrus you’re the principal?" Artha asked.
"Yes, I am. Is there a problem with that?"
"No." Artha replied.
"Why am I here? I haven't done anything wrong. Have I?"
"As a matter of fact you have been. Many of your teachers have told me that you would ask to go to the bathroom during class and would not return. Care to explain?"
Artha was silent. He thought about how often he did miss class to be Dragon Booster and fight crime. His dad was right. It was hard to be a student at the Academy and be the Dragon Booster.
"I'm waiting. If you don't explain why you do this then I have no choice but to expel you from the Academy."
"What?!? You can't expel me!"
"I believe I can. Now unless you tell me in the next to seconds your experience at the Academy will be over. Ten, nine, eight."
Artha was in deep thought.(Maybe I should tell Sentrus)
"Seven, six, five."
(Can I trust her?)
"Four, three, two."
"Wait. Stop. I'll tell you. I miss classes so often because I'm...I'm.... I’m the Dragon Booster."

"I know."
"WHAT? How could you have known?"
"I have been watching you closely since the first time I watched you race. I could see something special in you and your dragon. So, I observed you even while you didn't race. And over the weeks of observing you I discovered that you were the Dragon Booster. This was a test."
"A test?"
"Yes, a test."
"Anyway please, please I beg you. Don't tell anyone about my other identity."
"Don't worry I won't."
"Thanks."
"Now get back to class before you’re in real trouble."
"Yes mam."
Artha quickly returned to class with a great sigh of relief.


Chapter Eleven: The Academy Dance

Artha was heading over to Penn Stables and was going to ask Kitt to go to the dance with him. He saw Kitt brushing Wyldfr in one of the stalls. Artha rode up to her on Beau and said,
"You missed a spot."
Kitt did not answer. It was as if she hadn't heard him.
"Oh, hello Artha. I didn't see you there. I was just talking to Merlonius."
"Merlonius? Who's Merlonius?"
"I'm Merlonius."
A teenager around Artha's age with pitch black eyes and even darker black hair stepped out from behind Wyldfr.
"He also goes to the Academy Artha. His dragons name is Shadow. Isn't that a drac name?"
From out of one of the other stalls emerged a black dragon. Beau gave a deep growl and Shadow backed up a bit, remembering his previous encounter with Beau.
"Merlonius was just talking to me about the dance."
Artha then took off like a bullet and was heading back to the Academy.
"Artha. Where are going?"
"Forget about him. Just remember. Right here tomorrow night at six. See you then."
Merlonius left on the back Shadow with a smile.

A teenager was sitting in chair at the Academy Dance drinking his fifth glass of draconi-yum punch.
(Oh great) thought Artha.
(A slow dancing song)
Kitt was dancing with Merlonius. She put her hands on his shoulders and he put his hands on her waist.
"Yuck." said Artha.

Suddenly a girl behind Kitt tripped and bumped into Kitt causing her to trip. Kitt accidentally kissed Merlonius. From Artha's point of view it looked like she kissed him on purpose. Artha couldn't take it anymore he got up and left the dance heading back to his room. Now, Kitt was trying to get free from Merlonius.
"What are you doing!?!" Kitt yelled.
"I was just kissing you back."
"You idiot."
Kitt then kicked Merlonius in the shins and said in a scary voice,
"We are over."
(I wonder where Artha is?)
What she didn't know was that Artha was going threw so much pain, his heart was in so much pain it didn't even compare to the pain he was put through when he faced his toughest enemies.


Chapter Twelve: The Fire Booster

It was the weekend and Artha was riding Beau when suddenly his wristcom started buzzing. He answered it and his dad came up on the screen.
"Artha I have just discovered something very ancient and powerful that you must recover at once. I believe that in the wastelands there is a volcano. In that volcano there is suppose to be a gauntlet and amulet that belonged to the Fire Booster. I have sent Kitt there to retrieve it because I believe she is the next Fire Booster. I want you to go to the volcano and help her."
"Don't worry dad. I'm on my way."
Artha ran into an alley and yelled,
"Release the Dragon!"

"Wow this is one big volcano, hey Beau?"
Beau nodded his head. Artha spotted an entrance and saw Kitt waiting for him. He planned to try and say as little as possible to Kitt. He was still angry about what happened at the dance.
"Hey stable-boy. What took you so long?"
"Lets just get what we came for and get out of here." Artha replied.
"Fine."
They both walked threw the entrance and noticed that the floor was very thin and that if they fell they would fall right into the scorching lava.
"Careful Artha. This place is worse than the Lava Course."
"Kitt just keep your eyes open. There could be booby traps."
They both looked around but they saw no booby traps or anything that looked threatening. What they did see was a faint glow in the distance. They walked towards the glow for about twenty minutes until it was in front of them. They saw what appeared to be the red gauntlet and amulet that belonged to the Fire Booster.

Kitt started to reach for it when it jumped at her and fused to her wrist. (Like Artha's gauntlet) The red amulet appeared around Kitt's neck on a necklace. She picked up the amulet, which looked a lot like the Furox bonemark. She then cried,
"Release the Fire!"
She put the amulet in the gauntlet and started transforming into the Fire Booster. Her armor looked just like the one in the picture in the Academy library. Wyldfr transformed into a dragon that looked almost like the Furox but without the spikes and was red. Artha then recalled his father mentioning a name of a dragon. (Flairox. Flairox, that right. Now I remember. Dad said the Fire Booster's dragon was the Flairox. The brother of the Furox.)
Artha then thought, (Everything is going great no booby traps, no....uh oh)
Suddenly Artha and Beau started sinking. The volcano was caving in on itself. The ground underneath Beau disappeared into the lava and Beau was left clinging to the side of a wall for dear life.
"Kitt, help us!"
Kitt ran over and tried to pull them up.
"Your too heavy. I can't pull you up."
"We're slipping. We can't hold on much longer. Kitt I don't think I'll make it out of her. Save your self."
"No. I'm not leaving you here. I won't."
"You must. Before you go I just want you to know that..........I have loved you since the first day I saw you."
Beau then lost his grip and started to fall.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!."
"Nooooooooo! Go Wyldfr."
Wyldfy jumped and magically did not sink in the lava. The lava underneath Wyldfr hardened and started to rise. Beau landed on the solid ground and was amazed that he was alive.
Beau and Wyldry ran out of the volcano and escaped a fiery death.
"I guess there are some perks to being the Fire Booster. You know Artha I'm sorry about the dance. I didn't kiss Merlonius on purpose, a girl bumped into me and I tripped."
"Its okay, I forgive."
"So Artha did you mean what you uh...said before you fell."
"Every word of it."
"You know I always kind of liked you too."
"Really."
With that Artha and Kitt took their amulets out of their gauntlets and kissed.




Not to far away:
"So the new Fire Booster is Kitt Wonn. And my master will now know the identity of the Dragon Booster too." The hooded man raised his arm and contacted someone on his wristcom.
"Boss, I have news to report."
"Huh. What, what is it? This better be good Vysoadon."
"It is. I found out who the new Fire Booster is and the Dragon Booster. The Fire Booster is Kitt Wonn and the Dragon Booster is Artha Penn."
"Really. I never would have guessed Artha Penn to be the Dragon Booster. Good work Vysoadon. Come back to the hideout."
"Yes, lord Armeggadon."
"I think its time I contact and old friend...................................................Moordryd Paynn."


Chapter Thirteen: Can He be Trusted?

It was early Monday morning when Artha got back to his doom. Moordryd was fast asleep. Artha crawled into bed hoping to get some sleep before his classes started.

It was 4:00am when Moordryd got up and went to the bathroom to get some water. He was standing in the bathroom when suddenly he heard a familiar voice saying, “MOORDRYD. MOORDRYD.”
He was so socked that he dropped his cup and it shattered on the tile floor. Luckily Artha was such a heavy sleeper that lets just say if the world exploded he would still be asleep like he was now. Moordryd took his amulet out of its holder around his neck and a looked at it. The amulet flashed and a pair of eyes appeared on it.
“He…hello Armeggadon. Long time no see. You know I didn’t mean to attack you that day. It was just to… to… to gain his trust.”
“Of course. Now, I have a task for you.”
“Well you see the thing is...”
“What’s this? Have you become weak? I had high hopes that you would be the greatest warrior that ever lived. But now look at you, you have become SOFT!”
“No, never! I have just been helping the Dragon Booster so that when I turn on him he would have never seen it coming. I even know who the Dragon Booster is. Its….”
“Yes, yes I know. Artha Penn, big shock. I am disappointed in you. All those times you have raced him and you never noticed the giant gauntlet on his wrist.”
“But… how did you know?” On Moordryd’s face a great sign of worry appeared, but he quickly hid his emotions so Armeggadon wouldn’t see him. He was very concerned for Artha now.
“I have my sources. I have resurrected the league of eight and I want you to be my second in command for starting another dragon human war.”
“Yes, Armeggadon.”
Before Moordryd put the amulet away Armeggadon said,
“Oh, and one more thing don’t try anything funny like telling Artha what’s going on because you will be constantly watched by me and my spies.”

Chapter Fourteen: A league, A Lie, A Loss

It was 11:00am and school would be over soon for Moordryd and Artha and that’s when everything would be set into motion. Moordryd suggested that they go to the store to get some draconi-yum bars. Artha and Beau decided that that would be a good idea. Moordryd said that they would take a short cut that Moordryd always used. They were walking when suddenly Moordryd and Decepshun started going full speed.
“So, it’s a race you want Moordryd, then it’s a race you’ll get!”
Artha and Beau started going full speed. After running for a while they hadn’t caught up with Moordryd and Beau was tired so they decided to walk the rest of the way to the store.
They could see the store, as they were about to come out of a dark alleyway when suddenly seven black dragons ambushed them.

“Surround them!” yelled one of the riders.
Beau let out a huge roar and before Artha could “release the dragon” he was pinned to the wall by some green trapping gear. Beau was about to magblast the dragons when all of them fired green trapping gear at him. Then they all used drain whips on Beau.
“Armeggadon, everything is going as planned.”
“Good Vysoadon. Once he is weak bring Beau to me along with his rider.”
“Yes Armeggadon.”
Vysoadon shut his VIDDcom off and yelled,
“Shadow Booster you bring the rider and the rest of us will take care of the dragon.”
The Shadow Booster stepped out from the shadows and picked up Artha and put him behind him, still tied up with the trapping gear.
“Moordryd…how could you. I… I trusted you.”
Artha then fainted because he was so weak from the drain whips. Artha was unconscious and Beau was being dragged away to somewhere. This did not look good. The dragon of legend shed a tear because he was worried what would happen to him and more important, what would happen to Artha?


Artha woke up with an enormous headache and found himself pinned to a wall. He was in a dark cave and from the looks of it, it looked like he was somewhere in the wastelands.
“I’m glad to see that our guest is awake. Just in time for the festivities.”
Armeggadon said with a satisfied look on his face.
“Where’s…Beau?” Artha said with very little energy.
He was still exhausted from what had happened earlier.
“Oh, don’t worry. You’ll see him soon.” He said with a smile.

Artha was taken into a room that had Beau chained to the floor and was surrounded by eight black dragons and seven riders and the Shadow Booster. Artha looked at Moordryd in disgust and then quickly turned his attention to Beau.
“What are you going to do to Beau?”
“Oh, I won’t do to much to this freak.”
Beau then roared.
“This freak only chose you to be the dragon booster because he didn’t know any better.”
Beau roared again only louder.
“He should have chosen me. That’s right I was there that day your father was having people sit on Beau and see if he would chose any of them. I was there in disguise. And this freak didn’t chose me.”
Beau roared even loader and started to thrash around.
“And now, regrettably I have to force this freak to be on my side. I have to force this freak hate you. I have to force this FREAK to start a war.”
Beau roared the loudest he ever roared and was straining the chains. He slowly started to turn a black color. The black draconium inside him, which he had absorbed from the liquid black draconium Word Paynn had given him, was taking over him.

“What have you done to Beau!”
“I’ve done nothing but say the word freak. Beau did the rest.”
Armeggadon turned to Beau and yelled,
“Beaucephalus, It is time to FIGHT!”
At that word Beau broke loose of the chains, roared and bowed down to let his new rider get on him. Armeggadon slowly got onto Beau and a black saddle appeared on Beau’s head.
“NOOOOO!” Artha screamed.
“BEAU!”
A dragon looked at Artha. He gave a huge roar and looked away. This was not the Beau Artha knew.
“Beaucephalus, it is time to call the other black dragons to fight with us.”
Beau gave another roar but with a different tone in it. All was quiet for minutes until they could hear a faint thundering in the distance.
“Yes, are fellow black dragons are coming Beaucephalus.”
All the while Moordryd Paynn was in the corner of the room realizing what he was taking part in.

Artha was suddenly feeling very weak. He and Beau are so tightly linked together, but now Artha has only half the energy he usually has because of Beau leaving him. Artha fainted. He woke up in an alley in Dragon City. He was on his back and couldn’t get up. Someone said in a low voice,
“Armeggadon is busy so he asked me to deliver this message to you. He did not kill you because he wants you to whiteness Beaucephalus start another dragon human war. He also says he will give you three days to prepare before the invasion, just to make it a little more interesting.”
With that the rider took off leaving Artha alone.

Chapter Fifteen: It Just Keeps Getting Worse

Zulay was riding Hurricane around Dragon City. It had been so long since she rod him that she wanted to ride him right away. She raced by an alley and noticed what looked like a person. She turned around and came back. She was shocked to see a person unconscious in an alley. From the looks of him it looked like he was badly hurt. Zulay, being the kind person that she is picked up the person and put him on top of Hurricane. She turned around and took off at an alarming pace. She was heading towards Word’s citadel.

Artha slowly opened his eyes. He was on a cushioned exanimation table in the middle of Word Paynn’s citadel.
“Oh no. How did I end up here?”
“My wife, unfortunately brought you here.”
Word stepped up next to Artha with a grin on his face.
“You’re married? I thought you were divorced.” Artha said with a smile on his face. He was really just trying to act surprised.
“Yes I’m married! If it wasn’t for Zulay bringing you here you would probably be dead!”
“Oh, ya. Tell her I said thanks. But really I must be going.”
Artha tried to get up but he couldn’t. He was still too weak and couldn’t even move his legs.
“Great.” Artha muttered under his breath.

“So, how did you get hurt so badly?”
“Uh, I uh… got in a fight.”
“Really. So, you wouldn’t know by any chance where my son is, would you?”
“No, I haven’t seen him.”
Word really wanted to brag about his son being the Shadow Booster right now but he knew better. Word left the room.

Artha then realized something very serious. He quickly put his left arm under his back, hiding it from view. If Word got close enough to him he would see the gauntlet and know Artha was the Dragon Booster! Unlike Moordryd, he was probably a lot more aware of his surroundings. But when Artha put his arm under his stomach he didn’t feel the gauntlet. He lifted his arm up and his gauntlet was gone! He checked to see if he still had his amulet, but it was gone too!
“No! Where are they?”
“Looking for these?”
Word entered the room holding out a gauntlet and an amulet in front on Artha.

“What where you doing with these?”
“I was just… holding them for a friend.”
“Really. A friend. I wonder who that could be?”
Word was now looking at Artha very suspiciously.
“The Dragon Booster perhaps?”
Word put the gauntlet on Artha’s arm and put the amulet in the gauntlet. Artha couldn’t do anything. He transformed into the Dragon Booster.

“Maybe you’re the Dragon Booster!”
Suddenly the wall bust open revealing someone on a silver dragon.
“Leave him alone."

I'm not quite sure what kind of response you want. "Don't let it happen again!" is fitting, but rather cliche.

I'm sure you won't, however, so let's leave it at that. :)

You may need some medication after reading this, it is going to be very intense :faint:

Chapter Six-teen:Telania

The rider on the silver dragon mag blasted Word. They came over to Dragon Booster and maged him on and took off.
"Who are you? What type of dragon is this?"
"I am a friend."
The stanger replied.
"This is Silver. He's a gray boned dragon.
Artha was amazed by the dragon. It rode on four legs and was at least the size of Beau, maybe bigger. He was very quick and nimble. Artha finally asked.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere safe."

They arrived at Penn Stables.
"What happened here?"
The rider said in shock.
"There was an explosion."
They went over to a stall and the rider jumped off the dragon. She walked over to the wall and moved a lever. A door appeared and she got back on Silver and they went into the elevator. Artha was shocked that this person knew the way into the dragon temple. She must be a very good friend of Dad in order for her to know about the dragon temple.

When the elevator stopped they came out. Connor, Lance, Parm and Kitt were there. The rider, while helping Artha dissmounted Silver and started towards Connor while helping Artha walk. Kitt, Parm and Lance just stood there and didn't say anything.
"Could it be?"
Connor asked.
"Yes."
The rider replied. Connor came over and huged the rider.
"I see Beau finally chose a dragon booster."
Artha was now very angry.
"Ok! Who is this person!"
The ride removed her helmet. She had long, straight, black hair and fair skin and blue eyes.
"My name is Telania Penn."
"What?!?"
Lance came running over.
"Mom?"
"Lance? The last time I saw you you were just a baby."
Lance huged his mother. Kitt and Parm were looking at Artha. Artha still just stared.
"Where is my other son and I would also like to know who the dragon booster is?"
Artha took the amulet out of the gauntlet and ran to his mother and huged her.
"Mom, what happened to you?"
"I was on a mission for the dragon priests, but that's over. I'm here now and that's what matters."
The family all huged each other.

"Artha."
"Yes dad?"
"What happened to you and where's Beau?"
Artha stopped smiling. He took a deep breath and began to explain everything. From when Moodryd led him into the ambush to when Word disscovered who he really is.
"This is very bad. Word now knows who you are, this is very, very bad. Beau does not have much time. When his bone mark turns black then he will be lost forever. And if what you tell me is true then HE has really returned."
"Who is HE?"
Artha asked.
"Sit down, everyone. It time you know the truth about Armeggadon."



Chapter Seven-teen:The Truth about Armeggadon

It was 3000 year ago. Beau and the original dragon booster succeeded in returning all dragons to there original state of pure gold. But, the dragon booster was ill. In battle, one of his enimies had stabbed him with a piece of pure black draconium. Darkness took over him. He fourged himself deadly black draconium armor. He left his dragon and started attacking innocent people. He was now calling himselft Armeggadon. Beau was forced to trap him in the Shadow Track, were he would forever remain, now lost to darkness forever. As time went on Beau eventually perished from old age and the dragon booster continued to live. I believe that Armeggadon has come back. When you escaped the Shadow Track he must have escaped. He will stop at nothing to eliminate you and the rest of Dragon City."

He has resurected the league of eight and is gathering an army of black draconium dragons as we speak. He will be ready to attack soon."
"Sooner that soon. He said he would attack in three days!"
"We have little time to prepare. We must arm ourselves for battle and gather allies."



Chapter Eight-teen: The Silence Before Battle

"Lance come here."
Telania asked.
"I want you to have this."
She held out to him a blue draconium gauntlet and amulet.
"This is what my mission was, to recover the blue boosters gauntlet and amulet. I want you to have it. You must be strong and never give up."
Lance took the gauntlet and put it on his wrist and the amulet around his neck.
"Thanks mom."

"Artha I need you to go to the down city crews as dragon booster and tell them about Armeggadon. We are going to need all the help we can get. But first I need you to go to the Academy and inform Sentrus as well."
"Ok dad."
Artha got up and then fell.
"Stable-boy your in no condition to walk there. We need to get you another dragon."
"No! I only ride Beau."
Artha started to cry.
"Here."
Telania got off Silver.
"I want you to ride Silver. He is fast and will protect you no matter what. Connor and I will go to the dragon priests and tell them about what has happened."
"Kitt, Parmon and Lance, go with Artha to the down city crews and the Academy and make sure he is all right."
"Ok."
They all said.

Kitt, Parm, Lance and Artha arrived at the Academy.
"I'll take care of this."
Artha said. He walked into the Academy. Everyone started as the dragon booster was walking through the halls. He came to Sentrus' office and opened the door.
"Dragon booster what's wrong."
"Armeggadon has taken Beau and is gathering an army of black draconium dragons. I need your help. He is going to attack Dragon City in three days."
"Me and Tornado will fight with you. I will go to the elite class racers and get them to help as well."
"Thank you."

Artha was about to leave the office when Sentrus said,
"Artha."
"Yes?"
"Your late for class."
"I know.'
He left the Academy with a smile on his face.

Artha, Kitt, Parm and Lance went to the crews and here were their replies:
Dragon Fish: Marianus:"We'd be glad to help. After all he did help us out when we had that misshap with the ancient coral stun gear."

Army of the Dragon: Wulph: "We follow strenght... and we don't want a war. My crew is in."

Dragon Flares: Pyrrah: No problem. The red draconium empire helped the original dragon booster and now we are."

Grip of the Dragon: Phistus: "Yes, my crew will help. After all you have always helped me and the council keep peace between the crews."

Voice of the Dragon: Vociferus: "Sure, as long as you do most of the fighting."

Inner Order: Khatah: "Me and my crew would be honored to fight along side with the dragon booster."
Will of the Dragon: Kawake: "After what I did, digging up black draconium for Word, I will do everything I can to help you."

Keepers: Stewart: "Well, my crew is not much of the fighting type, isn't that right Gunny. But we could build some gear used for fighting. Yes, make new things. My crew will help."

Mechanists: Rivett: "Libris and I would be glad to fight. The rest of my crew have been dying to ride there dragons, so in others words my crew is in."

The Dragon Wind: Chute: "Sure thing dragon booster. My crew will help."

The Prophets: Reepyr: "Me and those who our not with Propheci will fight with you."

The Dragon Eyes: Cain:" I can not answer you. Our leader is not here."
"He never will be here Cain."
Artha replied.
"Why is that?"
"Moordyd is the Shadow Booster."
"Ya, I know. Is that it?"
"No. He has joined Armeggadon and has betrayed us all. I'm sorry Cain. What is your answer. Will you and the rest of the Dragon Eyes help or not?"
"It's time for me to get a friend back."

"Well glad that's taken care of. Now what?"
Parm asked.
"Now we prepare for battle."
Artha said.
"Artha what dragon are you going to ride?"
Kitt asked.
"None. Beau is the only dragon. I am going to do what ever it takes to get him back, even if it kills me."

PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK
I like it and I hope you do to
HAND CRAMP! (faints0:faint:

Wow this is so DRAC. I can't wait for the next chapter.

I really like your concept of Armeggaddon. It's a nice shade of grey, and it's original. :)

Artha and Lance accept their long-lost mother very quickly, and it's surprising that she took almost ten years to find the blue amulet where it seemed to take Kitt about ten minutes to find hers. It's also a little irresponsible of her to immediately give it to her ten-year-old son, especially when she doesn't know if he's turned out a juvenile delinquent. (Unless Mortis has been writing her and she writing back--but then it's just cruel of both of them not to communicate with their children, not that that's necessarily OOC, of course.) You have some pretty good concepts; just try to think more deeply about your characters and what they're feeling and hoping for rather than just getting out your plot points one by one, and make sure you proofread and edit your work (there are quite a few errors).

This is soo drac!

Good job! Update soon, it's getting exciting! ;)

Chapter Nine-teen: War

Dragon Booster, Kitt, Parm, Lance and all the crews were at the wastlands preparing for battle. Artha had managed to pursuade the down city crews to fight with him while not revealing his identity. That could soon change.

Today was the day Armaggadon had said they would fight. Everyone was quiet, awaiting the attack.
"He should be here by now?"
Parm asked.
"He will."
Replied Dragon Booster.
In the distance a small dust cloud appeared. Soon and line of black came into view. In the front were ten riders on black dragons. In the center was Armeggadon on a strong, pure black draconium dragon, it was Beau. To the left was Shadow Booster. The other eight riders rode identical black dragons, the league of eight.

"It's too late."
Cried Dragon Booster.
"Beau's bonemark has already turned completly black. It's over."
"No it's not. We can still win, with or without Beau."
Kitt said.
"Your right. I'm still Dragon Booster. I have to try."

"All right everyone it's time.'
Dragon Booster yelled.
Following that came a lot of war cries and sceams.
In the front line was Dragon Booster, with not dragon, Fire Booster, Power Booster, Blue Booster, Telania on Silver and Mortis on Tyrannis-Pax. Nobody knew who they really were except each other. Behind them were all the leaders of the crews. Artha walked up infront so everyone could see him.

"Today we fight. This is not going to be a war, but a battle. This is not going to turn into another dragon-human war, but a battle between light and darkness. Some of you may be wondering were my dragon is. He is with the enemy. He has been turned evil. I do not want any of you to hesitate to bring him down, even if that means killing him. One more thing, leave Shadow Booster to me."

Suddenly the ground started to shake. Drakkus and Abandon had come to fight.
"Dragon Booster!"
Cried Drakkus.
"I have come to fight on your side."
"Well...ok. But I am keeping an eye on you."
"I just have one request."
"And what is that?"
"You leave Shadow Booster to me."
Artha understood. He wanted to teach his son a leson even thought Moordryd didn't know how Drakkus was, Drakkus knew who Moordryd was.
"Fine."

Drakkus now stood in the front line and they began to march. Armeggadon's army also began to march. Both armies started to charge.
BAMM
The two armies had colided. Blood started to spil and lives were lost. The black dragons had no riders, so they could easily manuver. Artha came to Armaggadon.

"So, the little boy has come looking for his dragon. Look somewere else Dragon Booster. Your dragon is mine now."
"That may be so, but that will not change the out come of this battle."
"What do you mean battle? This is WAR!"
With that Armeggadon mag hight in the air and released a powerful mag-fury attack on everyone.

Meanwhile Drakkus had found Shadow Booster.
"So Drakkus, we finally meet. I have always wondered who you are. Today I will find out."
"You are too overconfident."
"We shall see."
They both maged into the air. Shadow Booster fired a couple mag blasts but Drakkus deflected them all. The Drakkus headed head first towards Shadow Booster hoping to knock him down. Shadow Booster jumped over him and mag blasted him right on his back. Drakkus yelled in pain and fell.
"Well, that was too easy, now let's see who you really are."
"Shadow Booster wait."
Armeggadon rode over to Shadow Booster with Dragon Booster unconcious on his back.
"You will see who his is during the unvieling."
"What do you mean unvieling."
"Look around. We have won. We will take all the prisoners back to Dragon City and we will show everyone who the Boosters really are."




Chapter Twently: All is Not Lost

Armeggadon's army had dragged the other army all the way to Dragon City were they waited.
"Citizens of Dragon City, today you have lost the battle. Any one who opposes me will face the wrath of Beaucephalus. The battle is over, and the war has begun."
As Armeggadon finished his speech his followers cheered. Armeggadon, Shadow Booster, Dragon Booster, Fire Booster, Power Booster, Blue Booster, Moris, Telania and Drakkus were on top of a large building that overlooked the crowd.
"Now we will find out who everyone really is!"
The leaders of the crews were very woried about the Dragon Booster, but they could do nothing.

On top of the building they were all chained together, so there was no chance of escape.
"Let us see who the rider on the silver dragon is.'
Armeggadon took the riders helmet off.
"Well, well, look what we have hear. Telania Penn. I thought you were dead. Next, we shall see who the Power Booster is."
Armeggadon removed the amulet.
"Parmon Sean...I didn't think you were much of a fighter. Next, the Blue Booster."
Armeggadon removed the amulet.
"Lance Penn? Well, these days they will make anyone a booster."
Shadow Booster looked at Lance with a worried face. He was praying that Armeggadon wouldn't hurt him. Lance was the only one who was ever nice to him.

All this time the crowd of crews and citizens were just staring in awe at the identities of the boosters.
"Next let us see who the Fire Booster is."
He removed the amulet.
"Kitt Wonn. Well, I always knew you liked attention, but isn't this a little much."
He said with a smile.
"Next let us see who the dragon priest Mortis is."
Shadow Booster and Drakkus were very eager to find out.
Armeggadon removed the helmet.
"Connor Penn. This is quite a suprise."
Drakkus stood there in shock, so was Shadow Booster and the rest of the crowd.
Beau was not interested at all.
"Now we come to Drakkus."
He removed the helmet.
"Word Paynn, how did you get your hands on this armor?"
Moordryd just stared.
"Dad?"
"Moordryd I can explain."
"Why didn't you tell me!"
"You couldn't handle it. Please son, don't be angry. We're family."
"Not any more."
Moordryd turned his back on his father.
Armeggadon couldn't help but smile.
"Time for the moment you have all been waiting for."
Armeggadon stepted close to Artha.
"This is the end Artha."
Armeggadon whispered.
He removed the amulet.
The crowd fell silent.

"Now you have seen the true identity of the Dragon Booster, it is time you see him die!"
Before Armeggadon could say anymore Artha mag-blasted him against a wall with all the energy he had left in his body. He didn't care if he died, just as long as he took Armeggadon with him. The mag-blast stopped and Armeggadon fell. Beau ran over to the side of the building and looked down at Armeggadon.
"Beau, finish the job."
With that Armeggadon died.

Beau whirled around and started to growl at Artha. Everyone backed away, but Artha stayed.
"Beau I know you can hear me. Fight the black draconium. You are stronger than this."
Beau walked towards Artha. Artha backed up a little and slipped.

He was hanging onto the roof with the tip of his hands.
"Beau, I need you. You are a hero, you are the dragon of legend. Fight it."
Beau stepped forward and looked at Artha. Beau nudged Artha's fingers and he lost his grip.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
BOOM.



Chapter Twenty-one:Reborn

"ARTHA!"
Cried Connor, Telania, Lance, Parm and Kitt.
Beau started to chuckle. But then something happend, he started to have a flashback. He sAW himself the day he chose Artha to be the Dragon Booster. He saw them fighting the Furox, the Samurox, Libris, Shadow Booster, Armeggadon. Now they couldn't ever fight him. Beau gave a loud roar and started to turn gold. There was a bright flash of gold and then Beau was back.

Beau jumped off the building and glided down to Artha. He gave Artha a nudge but he didn't move. Beau started to make sad roars and tears started to fall, while the crews were striking back against the black dragons. Connor and the other boosters and Telania came down to Artha's side. He still didn't move.

Beau laid a claw on Artha and Beau started shinning gold. The gold started to spread around Artha. Beau did this for about five minutes then stopped. Beau fell to the ground, not moving.
"Wha..were...what?"
Artha was alive!
"Artha your alive!"
Connor yelled.
"But how? I remember falling off the building then I saw a gold light."
"That was Beau."
Artha now turned to Beau who was next to him. He was breathing very heavily.
"Beau...you're back!"
Beau smiled then closed his eyes.
"Beau?"
Artha said.
"Beau, come on quite playing. Beau?"
"I'm sorry Artha."
Connor Said.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Artha started to cry. Everyone cried. The black dragons were gone and so was Beau.


Three months later

The Academy was still closed because the repairs from the battle were going to take a while. Artha was back at Penn Stables. His family had been reunited. The Paynns were a family again and Word had given up on starting another war. Everything was great. But, Artha still felt empty.

"Artha?"
"Ya dad.'
"Could you come here? I need you to help me move these boxes over here."
Connor was pointing to a Dragon pen. Artha came over and triped on something. He looked down and saw a black tail. He followed the tail and couldn't believe what he found.
"BEAU!"
Artha ran over to his dragon and cried. He huged his dragons for hours until Connor came over.
"I said I needed you to move some crates not a black and gold dragon."
"Dad(sniff) how is it that Beau is alive?"
"He used his gold draconium energy to bring you back to life. The cost he paid was that now he is not longer the dragon of legend. Just a dragon that is colored black and gold. He still is a gold boned dragon, he just doesn't have the star bonemark anymore along with his wings and other special powers."
"I don't care what he is. He is my best friend and I love he no matter what."

THE END

DRAC story! I loved it, and thanks for posting it on board for us to read! Maybe you could add a sequelor write another story.

I was thinking about doing a sequel, but I think I will finish "A New Crew" first

If you liked this then you should definatly read "A New Crew"

Drac ending! :cookie: And unmasking everyone in front of everyone else, I liked tht part as well!

But how come Moordryd didn't get unmasked?

because he is with Armeggadon

Ok. Please write a sequeal when your done with you other fanfic.

...... I didn't like it how Beau died! Hes one of my favourites.... man.... that sucks.

Oh, this was interesting. Good story.

Great story Dolphinliss! I loved the way you showed developement of Beau and Decepshun's relationship. I thought it was hilarious when Word (and man, is it ever like him) when he sent Morydrydd the b-day present and a card belittling Mordryd at the same time. When your characters have rapid conversations though, you should clarify who's saying what. This was a little jumbled in the earlier conversations between Artha & Mordryd and was a little confusing to decipher. I liked your description of the academy though and the tension you built up from chapter to chapter. Nice Job!

:D

thx for all the reviews everyone, i thought my story was long gone from anyone's view, lol

oh and deathshallcome, uh beau didn't die

Oh.. XD I see I must of misread what you posted. XD sorry about that.

It is worth reading it! I like the idea on the Boosters.
