* Opening Credits *

[We watch as Artha and Moordryd are racing through a set of Drag Tubes.]

RM (Race Marshall): It looks like today's Dragon City's Extreme G Competition is a fight to the finish between Moordryd Paynn and Artha Penn!

[In the Drag tube, Artha activates his thruster gear to pass Moordryd so he's in 1st]

RM: Penn is really heating things up in the Drag tube!!

Sentrus: (an Academy scout) Impressive.

RM: (to Sentrus) I told ya Sentrus; out top racers are almost Academy quality.

[Sentrus gives him a hard stare and Budge lowers his head]

Parm: I think she's impressed.

Lance: I think she's creepy.

[Sentrus obviously hears and scowls]

Parm: [small gasp] [whispering] I think she heard you. [Parm & Lance start doing things]

*Back in the tube*

Moordryd: Fight fire with fire.

[Activates thruster gear, pulls ahead of Artha on the ski hill part of the track]

Parm: Artha, watch out for that...

Artha: huh. [Dodges] Yeah, it would help to warn me before these things pop up.

Parm: The way the Academy tracks are constructs it makes it very difficult to predict. Oh oh!

[Artha & Beau dodge it in time]

Parm: Well, at least you won the 1st heat yesterday, and it is 2 out of 3.

Artha: I need these points just to get into the Academy, and complete my training as the Dragon Boos. WO-AAAHH!!! [Artha hits a thing and starts spinning] Tooo..fast. Out of controooollll!!!

Parm: Repel gear, NOW!

[Artha activates the gear]

Moordryd: What?

Parm: Now reverse the gear.

[Artha reverses it]

Moordryd: NO!!

Armeggaddon: Moordryd, mag it loose. Like I showed you.

[Moordryd relaxes and channels Decepshun's energy in a form of a mag-push. He hits the ledge where the gear is, so the gear is still attached to a hunk of concrete]

Artha: What?!? [Sees the hunk heading towards them] (to Beau) Mag it off!!!!

[Beau Mags gear off but gets caught in the Aero gear]

Artha: huh? AHHHHHHHHHHH *falls of track with Beau*

[Moordryd laughs]

Parm: Did you see that? He mag-channelled Decepshun's energy and used it for a mag-push. Only an Academy racer even begin to do that! And I didn't realize Decepshun had such a concentrated level of Pure Black Draconium and…

Lance: Parm!! What about Artha??

[Shows Beau and Artha hanging on a ledge]

Artha: Well I guess we better stop hanging around and get ready for the next round.

*Cam goes to the finish*

RM: And the 2nd heat of the Extreme G Competition goes to Moordryd Paynn.

*At the Dragon Eye Tent*

Cain: Drac move boss. Where did you learn that?

Word: [walking over] Yes, where did you learn that?

Moordryd: I've been studying Father.

Connor (with Artha): Word. Did you teach him that? Those moves are far too dangerous for All City kids.

Word: [stammering] wha...uh.. Connor Penn, what a surprise. I thought you were..

Connor: That you were rid of me for good? Reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated.

Word: huh. Have you re-appeared to breed more of your Gold dragons perhaps?

Connor: Not quite as easy as trying to steal them is it?

Word: Are you accusing me of something? Do you have proof?

Connor: I'll get it.

Word: If I catch you trying to ruin my reputation.

Artha: [scoffs] Reputation? Please.

Word: I suppose I shouldn't be too hard on you my dear old friend, after all, your son will never make the Academy. And do you know why? Because he is weak. Because he believes in legends and heroes and other hopeless trifles, just like his father.

[Connor growls, Moordryd laughs silently]

[Sentrus approaches]

Sentrus: That's what I like too see boys. A little competitive spirit. You're both very promising, too bad the Academy only has one spot for a racer from Dragon City this year.

Connor: One?

Sentrus: And I look forward to seeing who takes it over the next few weeks. Young Mr. Paynn, that move you used to stop young Mr.Penn.

Conner: Is far too dangerous for competition at this level.

Centrus: On the contrary, very drac. I understand your concerns as a parent Conner Penn, but racing has changed since you were a teen. The world of Elite Class is more dangerous than ever. And it is our duty at the Academy to train for that world. Although, if you do not feel your son is ready..

Connor: My son is always ready.

Sentrus: We shall see, won't we? [walks (more like glides away)]

*Break*

[At the Dragon Temple, Connor has his damaged Dragon Priest mask in his hands, staring at it.]

Artha: How can I make the Academy if you keep on holding back on my training? I've already done the mag-push once as Dragon Booster.

Connor: Yes, once. Because you found the place inside you where you truly could release it for the right reasons and not just to win a race. *sighs* Look Artha, this is just like Beau, you can't release the power when you want. When you get to the Academy you'll learn...

Artha: Uh news flash Dad. Without learning these powers, I'm not gonna get into the Academy!

Connor: Sentrus was wrong today. Moordryd should of been disqualified.

Artha: Oh yeah. She seemed really upset Dad.

Connor: Artha!!

Artha: She said the world's changed Dad, you're world.

Connor: One thing that never changes is right and wrong. Those techniques on the All City track are unethical. Nobody else knows how to do them do they? It's like cheating.

* In Word's Citadel.*

Word: [Looking at Penn stables on the screens] mmm. We can't let Pen re-open those stables. We cannot risk him breeding any more Gold Dragons!!

Moordryd: They're getting a new shipment of new gear and equipment to fix the place up. Want me to steal it?

Word: Destroy it!! Penn Stables must never re-open. NEVER!!

[Moordryd start walking away]

Word: Ah, there is one more thing, That mag-push today at the track.

Moordryd: I told you, I've been.. studying.

[Word activates Citadel's defences*Moordryd dodges trapping gear, jumps over spikes and obstacles, does a "wall run" over all the screens and lands in front of Word panting.]

Word: You didn't learn that in a book now did you? No matter. I'll find out exactly what your up to one way or another. Like the Academy Scout said, It's a dangerous world...out there...and in here!!

*Dragon Temple, Artha and Connor *

Artha: So, what's the real story between you and Word anyway? You guys hate each other?

Connor: Word and I? No. We have philosophical differences.

Artha: Dad, what happened?

Connor: When I was being trained by the Dragon Priests, so was Word Paynn. We studied, competed together. We both wanted to compete in the All City races, a chance at the Academy. But after we learned about the Dragon-Human War, I vowed that one day, if he had not already returned, I would try to breed a new Dragon of Legend, a new Beau. But Word had other plans. Word thought dragons had been cheated, he wanted them to rule, as long as he ruled them. He was experimenting in secret, building battle gear, control gear that had been forbidden since the Dragon-Human War. I confronted him and he attacked me. Word's secret didn't last long. He was expelled from the Order and went on to build his Dragon Gear Empire. Word swore revenge, revenge on me and the same revenge his son now takes out on you.

Artha: I have to figure out that mag-push again and stop him with it!

Connor: No! You have to win with the skills you got Artha.

*Near Penn Stables*

Moordryd: [to the Amulet] I'm ready.

Armeggaddon: Yes. It is time. Unleash the shadow.

[Moordryd puts the amulet into the gauntlet and changes into the Shadow Booster and goes on top of Penn Stable roof, riding Decepshun in her Pure Black form]

Parm: [sees him] What...

Kitt: What is that?

[SB throws down a disruptor mine]

Lance: Oh no.

SB: [in front of them] They call me the Shadow Booster!

DB: [on top of roof] They call me the Dragon Booster!

[SB mag-pulls they're supplies]

DB: A mag-pull?

SB: Ha ha ha ha ha

DB: What?

[SB throws the supplies at him, Artha dodges most of them and turns around to see them fall into the abyss.]

DB: Connor's shipment!

[Turns around and sees one last box of supplies, and it hits him and Beau]

DB: AHHHHHHHHH, nooooo!

Kitt: Oh no.

[SB throws another disruptor mine]

Lance: huh?

Artha/DB: [through the dust appears*pants] Where is he!?!

Kitt: He's gone.

Lance: What are we gonna do?!?!

*Break*

*At the track*

RM: Welcome. To the final heat of the Dragon City Extreme G Competition.

Lance: [On Artha's VIDD Screen] Artha? [echoes] Artha?! [echoes]

Parm: Snap out of it! Last night was last night and we'll find out about the Shadow Booster soon enough. We have a race today.!

Artha: You're right Parm.

Moordryd: Tell ya what Penn? I'll send you a postcard from the Academy.

Artha: Oh you can write!?!

[Moordryd growls and his eye twiches]

RM: Release the Dragon!!

[Race starts, racers jump off a ledge into the Drag tube. Phistus activates thruster gear to pass Kitt and Wyldfyr. A Y turnoff comes, Moordryd goes right, then Artha left, Wulph crashes into the middle. Now the race is at the Ski hill part]

Parm: Artha, watch out!

[Dodges. Moordryd is mag-pushing dozens of targets causing them to pop up in front of Artha, giving him a hard time but he manages to dodge them.]

Artha: huh? [dodges]

[Artha and Moordryd are now beside each other and they start fighting with their staffs]

Kitt: Later boys! Some of us are still racing! [passes]

[Moordryd mag-pushes a target, making a ramp slide up, he jumps and lands beside Kitt]

Moordryd: Oh hello again Kitt!!

[Race is now at the Leap of Lorius type of track. Racers must go through a holographic target, using Aero and red thruster gear. If you miss the target, you're out of the race.]

[Artha activates his gear]

Lance: Oh he's good. Really good.

Connor: We'll see.

Kitt: [Goes through the 1st of 3 targets] We're through. Good work Wyldfyr!

Moordryd: [Makes Aero gear slow down, then uses his thrusters to pass Kitt in mid-air, breaking her gear]

[Kitt misses the target]

RM: Kitt Wonn missed the target! She's out of the race!!

[Artha and Moordryd get through all the targets, and they are now on the ski hill part of the track again.]

[Artha dodges the things, Moordryd uses his mag-push as a mag-jump, he lands farther ahead on the track]

Artha: Two can play this game. [Uses his own mag-push as a mag-jump.]

Parm: Did you see that?

[While in the air, Artha's left stream of energy flickers and dies. They land back on the track]

[Beau groans]

Connor: Artha, you're draining Beau's energy.

Artha: I have to try something.

Connor: [sigh] Maybe it's time to tell you what you want to know. Maybe times have changed, I've been so busy worrying about not being Word Paynn, maybe...

Artha: You know what? You taught me everything I need to know right now. You gave me all the skills I need and taught me that I don't need to cheat.

Artha: Ok, now!
[Artha activates rear rappel gear, it grabs onto a ledge behind them. Beau takes away the sledding gear so he can get a grip on the track. Artha makes the front rappel gear grab onto a gauntlet]

Parm: Artha, what are you doing? That gear will pull you apart!

Artha: I don't think so. REVERSE NOW!!

[Rear gear start to pull back in, Beau try’s to go backwards]

Artha: A bit longer boy!

[Beau groans]

[Artha release both rear then front gear, sending them both hurtling through the air so fast they become a blur. Artha almost slips off because of the speed, but regains his seat. Moordryd looks behind him and sees them coming]

Moordryd: What? No.

[Artha and Beau pass him at the finish line in 1st]

Artha: YES!!..... no, can't stooooop!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

[Artha all of a sudden mag-pushes the wall, trying to stop before they hit it.]

Lance: Huh?

Artha: [breathes] Huh, that was close, huh boy?

[Beau replies with a happy groan]

Lance: Did you see that?

Parm: See it, yes! Believe it, no!

Connor: He believes Parmon. Artha believes it.

Artha: Good job boy!

RM: What a finish!! [To Sentrus] Now that was Academy class!

Sentrus: Yes, it was. Very drac Mr. Penn, very drac.

*Moordryd approaches Artha*

*At Penn Stables*

Artha: Sorry I went all Red draconium on ya Dad. You were right.

Connor: No, you were right. I was so focused about Word and our past that I nearly forgot about your present. Instead of telling you what you couldn't do, I should have been helping you believe what you could do.

Lance: And after a day like today, I believe that what we should all do is to play a *reaches for the game* nice, big game of Battle Ground Dragon.

Connor: Actually Lance, I believe you still have homework to do.

Lance: I miss Mortis.

*Everyone looks at Connor nervously*

Connor: [In his deeper Mortis voice] I am Mortis.

Lance: [all shocked] Huh?

[Connor start laughing, then everyone else joins in.]

* Opening Credits *

[Artha and 2 Academy guys are racing on a track. Artha is in the lead and clears a jump. The 2 guys who are behind him, glance at each other, grin, and they both activate there Red Thruster gear and White Aero gear. They jump in the air, come up on each side of Artha and ram there white gear onto Artha’s Red thrusters gear so they fall off.]


Connor: Artha you have to be faster!

Artha: I’m trying!

[Artha blocks an attack from the Academy guy on his right, only to be kicked off by the one on his left. Artha is hanging off the saddle and groans to get back into his seat only to see the Academy racers are far ahead]

*At stables*

[Artha and Beau walk up to Connor, Kitt and Parm. Takes off his helmet and throws it to
Connor, who catches it.]

Kitt: What did you expect stable boy? Those were Academy class racers.

Artha: Yeah, I wonder whose great idea this was.

Connor: It’s part of your training Artha. The Academy skills competition that begins tomorrow is on this very track. And after the days event you have an interview with Sentrus the Academy scout!

Artha: Great. I’m fighting crime at night, racing during the day and there’s this new Shadow Booster guy. Moordryd’s ahead, the race is tomorrow, the-

[Beau groans and rolls his eyes]

Artha: What are you rolling your eyes at?

[Beau snorts]

Artha: I do all the tough stuff. While you the Dragon of Legend gets to run eat, vent, steam and sleep. Sometimes I wish I was the dragon.

[Beau wraps his tail around Artha’s leg and hangs him upside down.]

Artha:Wo-oh! Let me down Beau!

[Penn Crew laughs]

[The 2 Academy racers Artha was racing with walk up. One a Dragon Fish racer, the other a Dragon Flare]

Dragon Fish Academy racer: Hey Connor. Your kid’s not half bad.

[Artha gives a ‘really?’ type of look]

Dragon Fish Academy racer: For target practice!

[Beau lets Artha go]

Artha: AHHH!!!

[Academy guys laugh and walk away]

*Word’s Citadel*

[Word is looking at video footage of the Shadow Booster on the screens]

Word: Magnificent! Armour like the Dragon Booster, only made of Black draconium.

[Moordryd gives an ‘Ahem.’)

Moordryd: You sent for me father?

Word: My wraith captured this video Moordryd. Look at him! Clearly he has a gender similar to mine! It’s all about power and control! He’s like the son I never had.

Moordryd: [getting a bit annoyed] What do you want?

Word: The Penn brat is catching you in the Academy standings.

Moordryd: Yeah we’ll see about that.

Word: Perhaps I can help you.

[Word presses a switch causing gear resembling a small mutated squid to lower down from above]

Moordryd: What is it?

Word: It is my new Black draconium Neural gear. Not an obvious mind pod like the one that failed on Pyrrah in the Fire Cave. This makes the mind connection like never before! It’s almost like reading thoughts.

[Moordryd walks up to the gear and is about to take it until Word presses the switch again to bring it back up out of reach]

Word: Not so fast! My tests are not complete! Perhaps in a few days.

Moordryd: In a few days?! I’ve got the Academy skills competition tomorrow and-

Word: You can use the gear after I’ve finished testing it. In the mean time, why don’t you clean your compound! It’s beginning to look like a bunch of filthy keepers live there.

[Word starts walking away]

Moordryd: Yeah sure. I do all the grunt work.

Word: What was that?!

Moordryd: Nothing. I was just grunting.

[Word walks away. Moordryd looks at the gear and grins. He walks over to the control board. He presses the switch which lowers the gear, then he grabs the gear.]

Moordryd: Almost read thoughts huh? We’ll just have to test it. [to Wrist-COMM] Cain! I’ve got a job for you.

*On some random high street/track*

[Cain puts out his hand to touch the gear, hesitating, then draws back his hand.

Cain: Why do I have to test it?!

Moordryd: Because you do.

Cain: Why do I do all your grunt work?

Moordryd: Because you’re my grunt! It will help you work with your dragon better during the Team Obstacle challenge. You need the help, I don’t. Trust me.

* The Team Obstacle Challenge is on. The teams are jumping, avoiding, and swerving over yellow things resembling over-sized speed bumps.*
[Dragon Fish crew team is knocked out by the Gauntlets]

[Race is now at a part where there are green trapping gear shot at them from every direction from posts, The Army of the Dragon Crew gets knocked out, leaving Artha and Kitt, and Moordryd and Cain. Race is at the Horn of Libris part. You have to know down a target to get passed a metal barrier]

[Artha gets magged of Beau to hit the target]

Kitt: Nice move! We’re catching them!

[Cain misses the target because he’s magged of Coershun, and is just screaming in the air]

Moordryd: Cain! You missed that gate!

[Cain is back in his saddle]

Moordryd: Activate the Neural gear.

Cain: Uhh. Do I have to?!

Moordryd: Yes!

[Cain activates the gear, 2 cords shoot up from it and attach themselves to Cain’s head.]

Cain: Incredible! I can see the track! Through Coershuns eyes!

Kitt: What kind of Black Draconium gear is that?!

Artha: I don’t know. But activate your White Aero gear and Red thruster gear. I have an idea.

[Cain has a ‘happy’ look on his face, and is just going through the track really fast, dodging everything and not hitting the target that makes the barrier go down.]

Moordryd: Cain! The target!

[Cain just goes ahead, without hitting the target, so Moordryd runs right into it. He sees Artha and Kitt jump over him lightning fast]

[Artha knocks down a target]

Artha: Ready Kitt? Now!

Kitt: Yah! (To Wyldfyr)

[They both activate their white and red gear. Artha is planning on doing the move the Academy racers did to him. The wings from their white gear force Cain’s Red gear of Coershun. Cain gets a mad look on his face and try’s to Mag-blast both of them.]

[Kitt groans]

Artha: Look out! Mag over-load!

[Nero gear fly’s off Coershun , the main part of the gear which is supposed to be on the dragon’s head attaches itself to Artha’s forehead. (Artha screams NOOO!!!) The cords that are supposed to be attached to the human’s head are connected to Beau’s head. Long story short, Artha and Beau switch minds. So Artha is now in Beau’s dragon body and Beau is now in Artha’s body. Now Beau in Artha looks at his fingers and is amazed. He opens his mouth but just does a groan thing. He quickly covers his mouth. Still looking amazed and confused. He gets freaked out and jumps out of the saddle and starts running away on all fours. He really looks like a frog. Kitt is transfixed on the spot, looking at ‘Artha’ run away]

*At Stable area*

[Connor takes a right to see ‘Beau’ try to force himself through a doorway.]

Connor: Beau! What are you doing?

[‘Beau’ continues trying to get through]

Connor: Where’s Artha?

[‘Beau’ looks around nervously]

* Nearby in a dragon stall*

[Parm walks into the stall only to see ‘Artha’ leaning over a trough and eating dragon food]

Parm: Uhh, Artha?

[Connor walks in]

Connor: What is going on?

[‘Beau’ walks over and picks up ‘Artha’ and puts him in front of Parm and Connor]

[‘Artha’ looks around nervously, then takes of his helmet and slams it down on ‘Beau’s’ head and points to him. ‘Beau’ picks up a VIDD game and starts playing it.]

Kitt: You know, they started acting weird right after they got zapped by that Black draconium gear thing.

[Artha and Beau nod their heads and grunt a “Yuh huh” ]

Parm: It must have been some kind of mind gear, like the mind control pod that Word once used on Pyrrah. Oh this would have to be giga-dracs more powerful, and then fully charged with that Mag-overload energy. Theoretically they could have transferred, like a shock. If powerful enough, switched thoughts and-- [Beau and Artha groan and nod in agreement] Oh there both, ah—[Parm faints from brain fryage or over-calculation]

*Back at the track*

Cain: I-I dunno what happened. One second I felt I could see through Coershun’s eyes! A-and then the next second there was that big Mag-overload and-

Moordryd: And what Cain?! Think! Where is the Nero gear?

Cain: Uh. The stable brats. You saw the way the ran off the track. They must have taken it!

Moordryd: You better be sure! I’ve got the next skills event in half an hour! Check the track, then the stable brats. Find that gear!

*Back at Stable Area*

Kitt: Auh! What are we going to do?! There’s another Skills event in half an hour!

[Artha and Beau do worried groans]

Lance: Not to mention that Academy Scout interview.

[Artha and Beau do even more worried grunts and groans]

Parm: *talking to Lance* you and I will have to find that Black gear before Moordryd and Cain recover it! And hope we can use it to reverse what happened.

Connor: In the mean time, we’ll need to stall and look normal.

[Worried sound comes from ‘Artha’]

Connor: Artha! I-I mean Beau. Take this track-sweeper. Clean up the Stable area.
[‘Artha’ does a ‘What?’ sound, while ‘Beau’ does a deep chuckle]

Connor: Kitt and I will get Beau, I-I mean Artha to Mag some gear on.

[‘Beau’ does a ‘What?’ sound while ‘Artha’ does a very weird sounding chuckle]

Connor: Then we’ll test run you both around the track, with a couple of the Academy guys.

[Artha and Beau do ‘No way!’ sounds and ‘Artha’ shakes his hands.]

Lance: You know, they don’t seem all that different to me.

[Artha and Beau do deep growls]

* Parm and Lance are walking down a metal stair thing on the track and they spot the gear below a giant gap the racers are supposed to jump over*

[They look around and Lance spots the gear hanging fro on of the many giant spikes that are on the rim of the gap]

Lance: Hey! Look! There it is!

[Cain walks over on top of the track not seeing the gear or them]

Parm: Oh no! There’s Cain!

*Back at Stable Area*

Connor: Ok Beau, I-I mean, oh you know what I mean! Try and direct your thoughts and energy to the gear and see if you can Mag it.

[‘Beau’ gives a questioning grunt. He then closes his eyes and concentrates on magging the gear. He is stiff rigid and is clenching is teeth in concentration, groaning in the process]

[‘Beau’ starts to develop some Mag-energy, with difficulty. So he’s glowing gold.]

Connor: Yes! That’s it!

[‘Beau’ continues to groan, and the difficulty to Mag is increasing. He now creates 3 Mag points. (Shoulder, mid torso, near rump)]

Kitt: He’s doing it!

[‘Beau’ Mags the 3 pieces of gear (Blue Balance, Red Thruster, White Aero) and gets them onto his body. Only for them to fall off immediately after he lets go of his Mag]

Kitt: Not easy being the dragon huh?

[‘Beau’ try’s again, Mags it, but mags/plasters them all over his face.]

Connor: All right, now, uhh. *To Beau in Artha* Uhh, oohh. You know who you are, Mag on and go for a spin.

[‘Artha’ gives a really weird sounding ‘Ooohhh’ and a ‘Uh uh/ No way’]

*Back to track where Cain, Parm, and Lance are*

[Cain spots the gear hanging below him]

Cain: Hehehe, there you are.

[Reaches down to grab until ‘Artha’ is in the saddle of ‘Beau’. Artha is doing is muted scream while bouncing along in the saddle, not even close to being in properly and his legs are just flailing along. ‘Beau’ has magged on the gear all wonky, and is running crazy over the track.

Connor: [With hand over eyes except splitting two so he gets a peek] Oh I’m afraid to look!

Kitt: Be afraid. Be very afraid!

[‘Artha’ is just pressing the buttons for the gear randomly, causing the Red thruster gear to activate.]

[The pair is headed straight for Cain, who is reaching down for the gear]

Cain: Hey! Man-over board!

[Cain jumps and catches himself on the giant spikes from the gap]

[Cain takes off one hand to get the gear, right when he’s about to get it, the claw from some White Rappel gear comes into view and grabs it.

Cain: What? Hey!

[He barely sees Parm and Lance step up the metal stairs with the gear]

Cain: [teeth clenched] Stable brats….

*at some part of the track, stables in view*

Moordryd: And you just let them walk away with it!

Cain: No! I. Of course not. I was gonna get it back but-

Moordryd: But what?

Cain: But! I was almost trampled by the Stable brat and his dragon. They were out of control, acting all weird.

Moordryd: Weird? What do you mean?

Cain: I think the gear worked Moordryd. Sort of. It messed with them, changed them, turned them into clumsy fools.

Moordryd: Mmm. Perfect. That ruins them for the rest of the competition. Wait a sec, maybe I can use the gear to have the same affect on the Dragon Booster. *glances at Cain* If I had the gear!

*Back at stable area*

[Sentrus approaches]

Sentrus: Ahem. Interesting moves out there Mr.Penn.

[‘Beau’ looks quite delighted and reply’s with a series of groans. The same goes for ‘Artha’]

Sentrus: Excuse me?

[‘Artha’ thinks he’s doing completely fine, and keeps the ‘conversation’ going my even more stupider sounding grunts. Same goes for ‘Beau’ nodding while grunting and groaning]

Sentrus: Is this some kind of joke?

[‘Artha’ nods his head and does a ‘Yuh huh’ while ‘Beau’ shakes his head and does a ‘Nuh huh’]

[Thank god, Connor walks in to save further embarrassment to Beau and Artha]

Connor: I’m sorry Sentrus. My son has a very bad cold. * looking at Artha* and shouldn’t talk!

[‘Beau’ starts doing some really funny sounding hacking/wheezing and stops when Connor glances at him, then ‘Artha’ gives a small, human sounding ‘Cough cough’]

Sentrus: You can say that again.

[Walks away]

*Parm and Lance are with the gear in Parm’s little place where all the gear, electronic stuff goes on*

Parm: Theoretically, if we can charge this gear enough with, maybe a triple Mag-overload. It’ll activate again. In the same way.

[During Parm’s talk, it shows Cain sneaking up with some kind of stink bomb, resembling a Mag-grenade, but a blackish color. Cain activates it and rolls it into the room. It rolls into Lance’s foot.]

[Lance looks down and sees it.]

Parm: But first I need to-

Lance: Parm?

[tapping Parm’s shoulder]

Parm: What Lance?

[Lance points down]

Parm: Can’t you see I’m trying to calculate *sees the thing* Alogh.. [Slurs words]

[Thing blows up, smoke can be seen billowing out of the room, Cain covers his mouth with his sleeve, goes in, grabs the gear and runs out chuckling]

[Parm and Lance coughing]

Connor: Let me guess.

[Parm and Lance glance at each other]

Kitt: We’ll get the gear back!

Lance: You have to. Or Artha and Beau will be stuck, for good!

*In Dragon Stall. Artha as Beau is standing up looking at Beau in his body, curled up sleeping.*

Artha: *thinking as looking at Beau in his body* *sigh* I wish I could talk to you boy. I didn’t realize how tough it was to be you. Mag energy is hard to handle. And all the 200 miles per hour especially while your trying to protect me at the same time!

Kitt: Boys! We got trouble! We heard a dispatch from Dragon-City Security.

Connor: Moordryd and his crew are stealing an entire fetlock full of dragons down on Level 25 of Mid-City. The Security Forces have been chased off with Purple Disrupter mines and Orange Drag-Boxes.

Kitt: Sounds like a job for Dragon Booster.

[Artha and Beau do ‘ What?!’ groan/grunt]

Kitt: Don’t worry. Parm, Lance and I will ride with you.

[Artha and Beau do ‘What!?’ and ‘No way.’ Groan/grunts]

Connor: Look, you’ve done this together a hundred times. You can do it now. Try the amulet, it should still work with the Gold Draconium in your bones.

[‘Artha’ takes the amulet and quietly puts it into the gauntlet, transforming into the Dragon Booster]

*Dragon Fetlock, Level 25, Mid-City*

Cain: We’ve got security on the run Moordryd.

Moordryd: Perfect. At any moment out honoured guest the Dragon Booster should arrive.

[Artha and Beau are above them. Artha as Beau, gives a really sweet snarl then a GREAT roar]

Kitt: Not bad.

Parm: They’re getting the hang of it!

Moordryd: Smile!

[Holds up Flash stick]

Moordryd: Now!

[Cain throws the Neural gear, the dragon part goes on top of Artha’s head, while the 2 cords attach to Beau’s head, so really, the gear is in the correct places]

Artha as Beau: *talking to real Beau, as Artha, through the gear* Beau! I can see what you see! Can you see it too? It’s the Neural gear. We’re a real team boy!

Moordryd: Bring him down.

[Throws a red fire grenade but Beau, I mean Artha jumps out of the way in time]

Cain: Umm.I don’t think it’s working.

Moordryd: Oh really? What ever gave you that idea!!?!

Parm: Guys, listen to me. The Neural gear works like a connecter cable between your brains. It’s like downloading from one computer to another. If you can replicate the initial Mag-overload, it should switch you back. But you’ve got to get in full contact!

Moordryd: Let’s see how he likes this!

[Fires a Orange Mag-burst grenade, misses so it blows up one leg of a giant sign, fires another one, misses, that blows up the other leg of sign so it falls, towards Moordryd and Cain]

Moordryd: Oops.

[Moordryd and Cain cough, while Artha and Beau slide down the sign, like a ramp and try’s to Mag-blast them.]

Moordryd: Group Mag-blast!

Cain: Mag-overload!!!

[The gear activates again, switching Artha and Beau back into the right state. Then the gear is blasted off a ledge.]

Moordryd: *gets up while groaning* The gear! *gear falls* Let’s go!

[Moordryd, Cain, Decepshun, and Coershun go running off]

Artha: Now that’s what I call teamwork boy!

[The real Beau gives a triumphant roar]

*Back in a Dragon Stall*

[Beau is eating his dragon food while Artha is behind him sitting on a stool playing a VIDD-game]

Artha: You know, it was kinda fun being you. Harder than I thought but fun. I learned a lot about what it’s like to be a dragon.

Parm: * In the distance* Artha! Where are you?

[Artha and Beau grin at each other]

Parm: *In front of them* It’s almost time to….*gasps*.-

[Parm sees Artha leaning over and eating dragon food, and Beau lying on the ground playing a VIDD-game]

Parm: Oh no! It’s reversed! *goes off running* Lance! Kitt! Mr.Penn!

[Artha and Beau look at each other and Beau chuckles]

Artha: Nice work boy! But I think you went a little to far with the dumb face. I on the other hand. I played you perfectly!

[Beau wraps his tail around Artha’s leg and hangs him upside down]

Artha: Wo-oh!O.k.Ok Beau. You were good too.

* Opening Credits *

* The Down City Council*

Phistus:[/B] Order! Order! I said Order! *slams fist against table*

Pyrrah: *scoff* We need order out there Phistus! Not in here. Our dragons are being taken from right under our noses.

Wulph: And last week my gear was tampered with on the All-City Track. And during an Academy Qualifying race!

[Angry muttering from the crowd]

Chute: Ah ah ahem.

[B]Phistus: Chute? What brings the rising star of Dragon-City Academy back to the lowly street?

Chute: Drac to see the competition for the Academy still rages like a hurricane amongst the Down-City crews. Who knows? One of you might actually make it there.

Moordryd: Keep a seat warm for me.

Chute: You got the lead, for now. But I’m here to tell all of you that the Academy is down on messing with the rules and each others gear. I’m gonna oversee tomorrows Vortex Relay race personally. *glances and mutters from the crowd* Oh. And one more thing. Dragon City Security will be there too. In force, watching every move you make.

[Doors behind Chute open and Captain Faier and 2 guys walk in]

Captain Faier: That’s him. *points to Phistus* Take him!

Phistus: What?

[The 2 Dragon City Security guys activate their staffs and run toward Phistus, Phistus picks up his giant battering hammer.]

Captain Faier: We can do this the easy way, or the Faier way.

[Phistus pauses, and lowers his weapon; the 2 guys rush forward and guard him from escaping]

Phistus: What’s the charge?

Captain Faier: Sabotage. At the All-City track.

[Mutterings of sabotage throughout the crowd. Faier throws a device on the table that shows a video of a shadowy figure going throughout the Crew tents. The camera zooms in and shows Phistus]

[Angry mutterings from the crowd]

Phistus: Huh?

Moordryd: *chuckles*

Phistus: I’ve been framed!

Moordryd: Bad picture too.

Captain Faier: Lock him up!

[They all walk out, the 2 guards escorting Phistus out]

Wulph: C’mon! Look at me!

* Inside the Dragon Eye tent. Moordryd, Cain and Decepshun are there*

Moordryd: *laughs* Phistus arrested! *laughs* How drac is that? With that over-grown knucklehead gone, this race is as good as mine.

Cain: You know, it’s weird. It’s like you have some guardian angel watching over you.

[When Cain said that Word appeared behind him]

Word: Not quite.

[Cain screams]

Word: Cain, since you’re here. I’d like you to run a little errand for me. Plant this *holds up a gear pack* in the Penn tent. Don’t be seen.

[throws it to Cain]

Cain: Right now?

Word: No, whenever you have a moment YES NOW YOU IMBECIAL!!

[Cain zips off scared]

Moordryd: A little surprise for the Penn crew?

Word: Just insuring that all goes well in today’s race.

Moordryd: I don’t suppose you know anything about what happened to Phistus today.

Word: With Phistus out of the way, his dragons will be ripe for the picking! And of course in wins the Academy competition for you.

Moordryd: Maybe I don’t need your help. Maybe I can get into the Academy on my own. Mmm? Maybe I can learn the Academy secrets on my own!

Word: Mmm. The things I do for you.

[Word reaches out his left hand towards Decepshun, somehow forces her to give him energy for a mag-push, he transfers the energy from his left hand to his right, and mags Moordryd into the air.]

Word: Maybe you should watch you manner!

[Stops the mag-flow so Moordryd drops to the ground]

Word: Maybe you should thank me! My son!

* At the All-City Track, for the Vortex relay. Budge and Chute are in that thingy that moves around and has the speaker.*

[B]Budge:[/B] Welcome race fans! To one of the biggest events on the calander! The Vortex relay! A race of speed and agility where some of the greatest riders in Down-City compete for a place in the Academy!

[Cheers from crowd]

[Chute is looking through her binocs and sees Cain exit the Penn tent]

Chute: *to self*Oh no.

Budge: And today, we are honored by the presence of Chute. Of the Dragon Winds racing team! Seventh time winner of the Vortex, and the last All-City racer to make in into the Academy!

[Cheers from crowd]

Chute: Thank you. We are totally impressed by the caliber races this year. We look forward to welcoming one of you next year! Race hard. Race fast. Race like the wind.

[Cheers from crowd]

[At the starting line]

Cain: Hey Kitt. Break a leg.

Kitt: Try not to Cain.

Cain: *not understanding* What?

[Race starts. The are teams of two, the 1st racer of a team does a lap, and has to hand a baton to the 2nd racer, then that racer has to finish the race.]

Kitt: Yah!

[Kitt activates thruster gear, blah blah blah, (Nice moves boy! *to Wyldfyr*) and is first to reach her partner, which is Artha]

Artha: *Sees Kitt coming* *To Beau* Go Beau go!

Parm: You at one hundred and seventy five! Make the switch. Carefully! You drop it you lose!

[Kitt and Artha are beside each other, stretching to hand the baton to the other]

Moordryd: Let’s see you pass this!

[Fires green ramming ball. Kitt and Wyldfyr fall to the side but Kitt threw it in the air when she got hit.]

Kitt: *groans* The baton!

Artha: Beau! Reverse thrusters!

[Thrusters reverse]
Artha: Mag-me!

[Artha jumps off Beau, and when he’s in mid-air Beau mags him towards the falling baton]

[Artha catches the baton when it’s one inch above the ground]

Moordryd: Seeya later.

[Decepshun whacks Artha with her tail. Artha lands in Beaus saddle, with his helmet down so he can’t see]

Moordryd: Leave it to the big boys stable brat!

[Passes while laughing]

[Moordryd’s saddle bolt blinks and blows up, sending him air-borne. Artha and Beau run ahead and win]

[Cheers from crowd]

*At crew tent area*

Kitt: Hehe. Got to admit. Great move stable boy.

Chute: Drac race.

Connor: Chute?

Chute: Nice to see you back in business Connor.

Artha: You know Chute? The Academy racer?

Chute: He raised my first dragon.

Connor: *chuckles* Twister. Now that was one fast dragon.

Chute: Looks like fame is gonna run in your family too Connor. *looks at Artha* I couldn’t of done that mag-move better myself.

Artha: I have my moments.

Chute: Welcome to the top of the leader board Penn. The Dragon City Academy has its eyes on you.

Artha: They do? Hey, did you hear that?

Lance: Uhh no. I suddenly went deaf.

Kitt: Ooo. Better make a little more room in the helmet there.

[Captain Faier, security guys and Moordryd walk up]

Connor: Captain Faier? Moordryd? What’s this about?

Moordryd: It’s called sabotage!

Captain Faier: *holds up a scorched saddle bolt* This saddle bolt was blown. Probably remotely by a radio control device.

Artha: What?

Connor: What?

Moordryd: I lost the race because of it. And the evidence points to you Penn.

Chute: That’s ridiculous. Penn Stables has a spotless record.

Captain Faier: Mmm. Not anymore. *He holds up the gear pack that looks exactly like the one Cain had. But also looks exactly like Parms gear pack. Faier rummages through it and holds up a micro-detonator, like on that was on Moordryd’s saddle bolt.]

Parm: A micro-detonator?! In one of our gear packs?! Tha-bu-how-wha- That’s impossible!

Captain Faier: We’re going to have to take you in. Kitt and Artha will be detained, pending the investigation.

Connor: No.

Captain Faier: I’m sorry. But this is a serious offence. Penn Stables is suspended until further notice.

[Security guys run up and get their mag staffs.]

Kitt: *groans* Let go!

Artha: *groans*

Connor: This is a mistake!

Moordryd: Hehehe.

[Chute looks at Moordryd, and then whispers something in Beau’s ear/eye. He does a series of snorts and noises. Chute jumps on her dragon and runs off, Beau after her.]

Captain Faier: What? Hey!

Chute: Beau, now!

[Beau mags Artha out of the security guys grip. Chute and him run along, 2 more Dragon Security shoot green trapping gear at them, but they both duck and keep on running.]

Captain Faier: We need backup! All-City track. We have a fugitive situation. Take her to Precinct. (referring to Kitt) This just got a whole lot worse for Artha.

Connor: Listen! Chute wouldn’t have acted like that if she didn’t have good reason. She can be barred from the Academy!

Captain Faier: I hope your right Connor. For both of their sakes.

*Some street*

Artha: Chute! What are we doing? My Dad is gonna freak.

Chute: All the races are being set up, first Phistus and now you. I saw some weirdo hanging out by your tent before the race. And he was there when you got busted. I think he planted that thing.

[Chute and Artha pass by two Dragon Security on dragons.]

D.C.S. guy: There they are! After them!

[They take a turn which is just a dead end into the abliss]

D.C.S. guy: Uh that’s a negative.

[Chute and Artha are on the bottom of that ledge, their dragons and them hanging upside down, but the dragons are magging themselves onto ‘the ground’. Kinda like they have suction cups on their feet or something.]

Artha: Sweet move.

Chute: *shoving her helmet back on since it was about to slip off.* Your no slouch yourself. Lets get moving! *Artha holds his helmet down onto his head*

*A hallway in Precinct*

News lady on screen: This just in. D.C Security has launched a massive man-hunt for fugitive racer Artha Penn. Penn was earlier implicated for sabotaging today’s Vortex relay. Chief of Security Captain Faier has vowed to track down the fugitive. But this marks another bad day for a city already in the middle of a crime wave. Alan.

[Kitt was being forced down the hallway by the security during the news report, so she heard everything]

Kitt: I don’t believe this.

[gets forced into a cell which already is occupied by Phistus]

Phistus: So D.C Security is imprisoning Street Kitt now as well as innocent men?

Captain Faier: I don’t like it either Phistus. But I’ve got citizens to protect. Just cool your heels until we figure this all out.

[Red lights and beeping start going off]

Captain Faier: *sigh* More trouble!

[Phistus punches the cell gate]

Phistus: What we need is the Dragon Booster! Isn’t he supposed to be out there right and wrongs?

Kitt: *thinking to self* I have a feeling he’s got his hands full right now.

*Chute and Artha running along some street*

Artha: Parm! I’m back on-line. Can you meet me down in Squire’s End? Chute and I have a plan.

Parm: A plan?! Your fugitives! All of Dragon City Security is looking for you and Beau.

Artha: Got that covered.

*Word’s Citadel. Word, Moordryd and Cain are there*

[Word is faced towards a screen showing Moordryd and Cain on the news holding up a trophy.]

Word: I see you made the news today. The Penns have been disqualified and they’ve awarded the Vortex Relay to you and Cain. Congratulations. And Penns foolish escape has played into my hands. Every guard in Dragon City will be looking for him, while we raid the stables of Phistus.

Moordryd: Maybe your help isn’t so bad after all.

Word: Now you pay what’s left of the Hiatus’s visit. And smash his crew! And take over his spot on the council!

*A alleyway somewhere in Squire’s End.*

Lance: Artha! Are you ok?

Artha: I’m fine Lance.

Parm: Now. About you plan?

Artha: We’re going to visit Phistus and see what he knows.

Parm: Do you have a scale loose? Dragon City Security is searching all over for you and a red….*Parm sees Beau as a Sky Class dragon* and…blue….dragon? Huh?

[Beau was doing little grunts and noises during Parms silences]

Lance: ……Hey! That’s Be- *his mouth gets covered* Uhh... a very drac Sky Class Dragon.

Chute: Yeah. He’s a strange one. And you know? I don’t remember seeing him before.

[Beau snorts.]

[2 D.C guys pass by]

D.C.S. guy: Uh that’s a negative. I only see two Sky Class dragons. No blue and red one here. Moving on, over.

[They leave and Chute and Artha relax. They were leaning close to their dragons so they wouldn’t be seen.]

Artha: Whew! That was a close one. Good one boy!

*Back in the cell in Precinct*

[Phistus is punching the cell gate repeatedly]

Kitt: Yup their still made of un-breakable steel Phistus! Almost as hard as your giant head!

Phistus: Well you got any bright ideas?
[Somebody whistles from outside. A paper airplane with writing on it flys in through the window, glides around and bumps into Kitt’s foot. Kitt unfolds it and they both read it]

Kitt and Phistus: Duck? …..*gasp* DUCK!

[They both duck and the wall gets blown up]

Chute: Anyone order pizza?

*Chute, Artha, Kitt, Parm, Lance and Phistus are somewhere*

Parm: I’ve just monitored a bulletin from Dragon City Security. They’re not coming for us. There’s a huge dragon raid in progress.

Phistus: Whose dragons?

Parm: Your dragons.

[Phistus gets all mad]

Parm: Wraith dragons are everywhere! It sounds very bad.

Artha: Security is everywhere. We stand a better chance if we split up. Lance, Parmon, Kitt. Head for the track and see what you can find. Chute described somebody she saw near our tent, and that somebody sounded an awful lot like Cain.

Parm: Right!

Artha: Dragon City Security is still after me, so I’ll act as a decoy and give them something to chase. Phistus, you head to your dragons. And with luck, we’ll all meet you there.

Phistus: Thanks for the hand so far Penn. But this fist will take it from here!

*At Crew tent area*

[Lance’s, Parm’s and Kitt’s head pop up. There’s a do not cross sort of tape around their tent, and there are 2 Security guys guarding]

Artha: Hey. Looking for me?

D.C.S. guy: Hey! Get back here!

[They go off chasing Artha leaving the way clear for Kitt, Parm, and Lance.]

*At the dragon raid. It looks like its taking place at the All-City Track*

[Wraith dragons are attacking D.C Security, and are successful. One Wraith Mag-blasts them all away. It runs off to herd Phistus dragons, along with other wraiths. The wraiths are running along and popping up at corners, playing the roles of sheep dogs. Phistus dragons run into a van.]

Phistus: Time to punch in and go to work!

[He breaks open the door with his giant hammer. The dragons run out, but then a wraith shoots some trapping gear at him, so he’s on the side of the van]

Moordryd: *from above* Like taking candy from a big green baby.

[Chute runs up, and frees Phistus with her staff]

Chute: You ok Phisty?

Phistus: Better than ever!

Moordryd: Yeah! Time to finish this!

Armageddon: Yes. It is time. Unleash the Shadow.

[Moordryd transforms into the Shadow Booster]

[SB jumps down to Chute]

[They fight in the air; Chute kicks him in the back. (HA) blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda. Moordryd Mag-pulls, Mag-pushes, etc aren’t defeating Chute. She keeps on blocking them. SB shoots a whole bunch of little Mags, but Chute spins her Mag-staff around, blocking them. Then he Mag blasts her, while pure black Decepshun does the same, she gets hit by both, and falls to the ground. SB lands in front of her, with a Mag-staff above him, about to finish her off.]

DB: Party’s over!

[DB grabs SB from behind and is just bringing him upwards, on Beau’s Mag-stream of course]

SB: What are you doing?

DB: Bright light, big city!


[Shoves SB into the ‘Vortex Relay’ sign. He waits and then sees SB through the debris and dust; coming back towards him]

SB: Mag me!

[They’re both fighting; they’re both using Mag-pushes, etc. Blah blah, etc. Near the end of it, SB makes some sort of energy cage around DB.]

SB: No escape this time Dragon Booster.

DB: A little help here Beau!

[Beau runs towards Decepshun, and knocks her over so she’s out of the picture. The energy dies for the SB, who falls screaming, and DB breaks free from the cage, getting back onto Beau.]

DB: Your dragon is weak! Your Mag-energy exhausted!

SB: I’ll be back.

[Runs off on Decepshun, reaches to D.C guys, knocks them over, then gets out of there]

*At that same place*

Captain Faier: Who was that thing?

DB: It’s a long story. But I think he’s got everything to do with the sabotage on the track. And the framing of the Penn racing crew.

Captain Faier: Well it certainly looks that way, but I need proof.

[Walking up are Lance, Parm, and Kitt.]

Parm: And we’ve got it!

[Now right in front of them]

Parm: On a tip from,*glancing at Chute*a friend, I took a full inventory of our tent. I found this.

[Holds up a blue gear pack with the Penn symbol on it, like the one Cain had.]

Parm: My real gear pack! See, it has my electron capacitater and my experimental Mag- velocity longitudinal peramitizer–

Captain Faier: Hold it. You mean the one with the detonators was a fake?

Parm: Uh well yea that’s what I’ve been saying. Um wasn’t it?

Lance: It’s ok, he confuses everybody.

Captain Faier: Well, if all of this is true, I bet that tape was tampered with as well. I’ll have the lab boys look it over. And we’ll have to run the Vortex relay again. (To Phistus) Well, looks like I owe you an apology.

[Phistus groans and rolls eyes]

Chute: *While she’s saying this DB and Beau stalk away silently, since Faier has his back turned on them* Rule one of the Academy Captain. Uphold justice under all circumstances.

[Artha and Beau are in the place DB was just in, still Faier has his back turned so he doesn’t know they’re there.]

Captain Faier: I just hope you don’t get in real trouble, you are very hard to catch.

[Faier turns around and sees Artha there]

Captain Faier: Where did you come from?

Artha: Um. I was here all the time. *silence* Fighting those wraith dragons.

Phistus: You were.

Artha: Oh yea sure.

Chute: You’ll make a very interesting addition to the Academy Artha Penn.

[Beau winks into camera as screen fades out]

* Opening Credits *

[Moordryd and Decepshun are running along in some temple, with stone columns moving around, trying to block them.]

Moordryd: Almost there! Almost to the Vysox! Almost to my destiny!

Armaggeddon: Your destiny will not be so easy.

[Then they enter a part where stone dragon heads on the walls are shooting arrows at them. They dodge, then Moordryd mags into the air, avoiding them. Then one arrow comes really close and he barley dodges it. When he did, it was all slow-motion, like matrix style. When he gets back down he creates 2 Mag-shields on both sides of him. Then they get through and into the chamber which has a black Bonemark hovering over a stone thingy]

Moordryd: [laughs] Heh. You were saying Armaggeddon?

Armaggeddon: Very impressive. But getting to the mark was the easy part, mastering it will be something else entirely.

[Moordryd gets off Decepshun, and walks to the Bonemark, when he was close, the Bonemark ‘shuddered’ and faced towards him.]

Moordryd: Like it knows I’m here...

Armaggeddon: She does. The Vysox Bonemark is the spirit of my own warrior dragon from the original Dragon-Human War.

Moordryd: You sure Decepshun can Mag the Vysox?

Armaggeddon: She is as pure a black draconium dragon as I have ever seen in this time. If she cannot, no dragon can.

[Moordryd reaches towards the Vysox, but it just fly’s out of his reach and zooms right onto Decepshun]

Moordryd: Wait!

[Decepshun rears and roars and comes back down, her eyes have a nice menacing red glow to them]

Moordryd: I don’t believe it. She absorbed it. Like the black and gold dragon of legend!

[Decepshun smiles evilly]

Armaggeddon: Yes. Exactly.

Moordryd: Ho-ho-ho. (not Santa!) The things I can do now!

[Decepshun smiles evilly]

Armaggeddon: Not yet.

[Decepshun hisses]

Armaggeddon: Return to the city. Race for the Academy. Train as the Shadow Booster. I will let you know when it is time.

[Moordryd gets back into the saddle and jerks left, towards the door. But Decepshun refuses to move, staying still. He jerks again, but she stands firm.]

Moordryd: This way!

[Decepshun hisses]

Moordryd: What is it?

[She walks forward towards the stone thingy. There is a dragon foot print in the stone. Decepshun puts up her front right foot, and puts it over the print, hesitating, then slams it down. The stone thingy opens up to reveal a stone tablet/map that has 8 Dragon Eye symbols on it.]

Moordryd: Some kind of map. But to what girl? To what?

[At a race. Artha and Moordryd are in 1st]

Artha: C’mon boy! Go go!

Moordryd: Not so fast stable-brat!

[Moordryd and Artha fight, Mag-claw style. Blah blah blah. Yadda yadda. Artha kicks Moordryd out of the picture, chuckles, then Moordryd comes back in.]

Moordryd: Not bad stable-boy, not bad at all. But not good enough for the Academy I’m afraid!

[In the process of the fighting, Moordryd Mag-blasts one of Beau’s thrusters off]

Parm: Oh my. Artha won’t be able to make that final jump without that gear.

[Moordryd has Artha with his draining whip, Artha’s groaning and all, then he glows gold, and blasts the whip and Moordryd away. Moordryd screams. Artha mags one of Decepshun’s thrusters.]

Moordryd: My thrusters gear!

Artha: Now boy!

[Beau mags the gear]

Artha: Yeah!

[Camera goes out to show Artha on top of Decepshun’s head, backwards facing Moordryd, who’s in the saddle. Moordryd swings at Artha, who dodges; Artha sees the stone tablet/map in front of him.]

Artha: What is that?

[Beau mags Artha back onto him. They run forward to the ramp and take the jump. Followed by everyone else, who passed Moordryd and Decepshun]

Moordryd: No!

[Artha activates his thrusters and aero gear, so he’s gliding downwards in circles]

Parm: What a move! You’re going to win!

[Moordryd tries to turn Decepshun left, towards the ramp, but Decepshun doesn’t turn, instead going straight ahead.]

Moordryd: Turn. Turn! Turn!!!

[Decepshun jumps off the track, onto the giant stone wall supporting the track. She runs, then brakes, even though sliding down at an alarming rate. She Mag-blasts a giant sign post so it falls down to the right, giving her a ramp to get on to the track. They get on in 1st place.]

Artha: Impossible!

Parm: No! They’re going to win!

Artha: I’m transferring all the Mag-energy we got to the thrusters.

Lance: No! It’s too dangerous!

Artha: Unless you got a better idea?

[Lance and Parm look at each other.]

Artha: Didn’t think so.

[Artha transfers all the energy to the thrusters, activates them, so he’s going crazy fast. And Artha gives a short AAHHHH!!!!]

Parm: Oh my.

[Beau pulls up beside Decepshun right at the finish line]

Budge: It’s a photo finish!

[cheers from crowd]

Moordryd: Even if we tie, you lose. I’m still in the lead for the only Academy slot!

Budge: It’s official. Magna Draconis! It’s a tie!

[Worried looks come from Artha while Moordryd sneers and chuckles]

*At the Dragon Temple*

Artha: I don’t get it! I get better, Moordryd get EVEN better! Then Decepshun gets better too!

Kitt: Well I think you and Beau are still the best team out there.

Artha: Uhh did you not see that move?

Kitt: I was right behind you guys.

Lance: It was a lucky move!

Connor: No. It was Decepshun’s move.

Lance: Decepshun’s?

[Connor waves his hand so a screen comes down, showing Decepshun and Beau racing side by side.]

Connor: I watched the race. There’s something going on. That dragon seems different; she’s been acting strange for some time. Psi class dragons have always been hard to control but, it’s like she has a mind of her own; more than normal.

[Camera on screen zooms in to show a darkened mark of the Vysox Bonemark, but a nub of it.]

Connor: I suspected as much, a Bonemark nub!

Parm: Oh no! That means she’s absorbed a Bonemark!

Connor: I’m afraid so.

Artha: Great. Just what we need. A super-powered dragon for Moordryd.

Connor: This is bad.

Artha: And it’s not all. I saw something on Moordryd’s saddle during the race. Some kind of map with a bunch of Dragon Eye symbols on it.

Connor: A bunch?

Artha: Eight, I think.

Connor: This is very bad.

[Somewhere, I think in the compound.]

Moordryd: So what else can you tell me about you and the Dragon-Human War Armaggeddon?

Armaggeddon: I was once the leader of the Black-draconium Empire. Eventually you will have that honour.

Moordryd: When?

Armaggeddon: All of this shall come to you in time. When you are trained. When you are ready. Under my direction.

Moordryd: Maybe I’m ready now.

*Back at the temple*

Connor: The league of eight were defeated by the original Dragon Booster and the original Beau. When these once evil dragons were turned back to their pure gold draconium states, their warrior spirits and dark powers were trapped in their bone marks.

Lance: Evil dragons?

Connor: The Dragon Priesthood, those who trained me and gave me the Dragon Booster armour and the star. Hid the bone marks in a secret ancient keep.

Parm: And now Moordryd’s got a map to it!

Kitt: And if Moordryd gets the bone marks, Word gets them! It’s a race! And we’ll get there first!

Artha: Get where Kitt? *to Connor* Where’s the keep?

Connor: I don’t know.

[shocked looks from the gang]

Connor: But the Dragon Priests do.

Artha: So we’ll go see them.

Connor: *sigh* Contacting them will be very dangerous. They are the last protectors of the Ancient knowledge. Because of the dangerous secrets they know, they stay hidden. Word would stop at nothing to smash what’s left of their order. I will show you the way. But Artha, only you must enter the sanctuary.

*At the Sanctuary. Artha and Beau walk in. 8 Dragon Priests in the shadows turn their heads to them; they jump down and create a circle around them. Ready to attack*

Tannis: Who dares enter here!?

Artha: Wait!

Tannis: Identify yourself!

Artha: I am Artha Penn, son of Connor.

Tannis: What proof do you offer?

Artha: Just this. *holds up amulet* Release the Dragon!

[Artha transforms into DB, Beau roars]

[Shocked looks from Priests, and they bow, 1st Tannis]

[Moordryd and Decepshun are in the Old City, at a Y turn. Moordryd looks to the map, and looks to one way. Decepshun looks the other way, signalling that that is the right way]

Moordryd: What is it?

[Decepshun starts walking one way]

Moordryd: That’s right girl, lead the way. Take me to my destiny!

[Back at the Dragon Priest temple. Artha and Beau are talking to Tannis]

Tannis: If what you say is true, time is short. The Vysox must not resurrect the League of Eight.

Artha: Beau and I have battled bone marks and dragons before, we can handle these.

Tannis: You do not understand young hero. These are the most powerful and dangerous bone marks you may ever encounter. These dragons did not begin the war by fighting with humans. These dragons are the ones that led ALL dragons to turn on humans.

Artha: Well how can we fight them?

Tannis: We have heard of your exploits and Academy training. You may get to fulfill your destiny and save this world. But you may not be ready for them. You must stop Paynn, now!

Artha: I’m going to try.

Tannis: A word of advice. Even with a Bonemark absorbed, Black draconium dragons like Paynn’s have a mind of their own. And it is there weakness. If you and Beau can truly work as partners, you can prevail.

[Moordryd and Decepshun are at a clearing, in front of some sort of wall/gate with pictures on it. On the sides of the wall, there is a dragons pic/carving facing inward, same on the other side.]

Moordryd: Any idea how it opens?

[Decepshun Mags one of the dragons pics on the wall]

Moordryd: What are those?

[Decepshun continues with the magging, but needs help because the other dragon pic must be magged also.]

Moordryd: Need help huh?

[Moordryd mags the other dragon pic, taking a long time, the door is slowly sliding downwards.]

Moordryd: Working, it’s working!

[They both quit with the magging]

Moordryd: *panting* That took a lot of power. This is gonna be harder than I thought.

[Beau roars.]

Moordryd: Stay out of this Dragon loser! This doesn’t concern you!

DB: A keep of ancient bone marks? I think it does.

[DB and Moordryd fight, of course with Mag-claw, in a very short time, Moordryd gets beaten]

Moordryd: This isn’t over! I have friends! You’ll see!

[Runs off on Decepshun. When out of sight, they stop, Moordryd holds up the amulet.]

Moordryd: Unleash the Shadow!

[Transforms into SB]

*Back at the fight scene, where Artha and Beau are.*

Parm: Nice work Artha!

Lance: You kicked butt!

Kitt: But he still knows where the bone marks are. And he said his friends would be back.

Artha: Friends? He wants the bone marks for himself. Who would he tell?

[SB show up, Decepshun roars]

Artha: Let me guess, a friend sent you.

SB: Looks like it’s you and me now.

[SB and DB fight. Mag-claw and everything. This is a really long and good fight. You have to see it for yourself. Blah blah, SB sends lots of little Mag-Balls, DB dodges holds up is arms, blocking the Mag-bolts so they hit his armour, not harming him. They keep on fighting, sweet moves being pulled off.]

Lance: We’ve gotta get down there!

Kitt: We can’t! One of those stray Mag-bolts would fry us!

Parm: And I’m not in the mood for fried Parmon Sean! It’s very unhealthy.

[They’re fighting, Decepshun roars, Beau roars back; they run at each other and hit each other in the head, locked in the position head-to-head. DB falls to the ground]

SB: *laughs* Now girl, quickly!

[SB and Moordryd both Mag at the dragons on the wall, moving it still slowly down]

Artha: Like Tannis said. *Tannis speaking* If you and Beau can truly work as partners, you can prevail. *Artha speaking* Beau, I want you to fire a Mag-charge into my armour. Enough that we can really fight side by side.

Parm: Artha no! No human can hold that many giga-dracs! You just can’t!

Artha: There’s only one way to find out! Now Beau!

[Beau fires a Mag-charge into Artha, and Artha yells. When Beau’s done, Artha is now glowing like a Christmas tree. He can pretty much ‘float’ in the air without Beau magging him into the air]

Artha: Let’s do this.

[Launches himself at SB]

SB: What? *gets hit*

[In a short while SB is on the ground, Beau roars. DB sends a Mag-bolt at SB, hits him. Sends another one, hits him, sends another one, hits him. Beau Mag-blasts Decepshun at SB, so he has to jump out of the way to avoid being crushed by his own dragon.]

DB: Let’s finish this.

[Beau and Artha get to the wall thingy]

Artha: We need to seal this.

[Artha looks above the door thing, to see some rock. He plans to Mag-blast the rock so it crumbles and blocks the door-way]

Artha: Now Beau!

[They both Mag-blast the rock, it falls and blocks the door.]

Artha: We did it boy! Good job.

SB: You may have locked the door, but you won’t stop me from getting inside! *while running away* You can’t wait here forever Dragon Booster!

[Kitt, Parm, and Lance walk up]

Kitt: Now he knows where they are, and he'll get in, eventually.

Artha: Your right.

[The 8 Dragon Priests show up on a rock ledge high above them, Tannis in front with his staff having a ball of energy on top, giving light.]

Tannis: You have done well. But we will take things from here Dragon Booster. The bone marks will be moved to a safe place and hidden once again.

Parm: Moordryd and the Shadow Booster are working together? Artha, this is far from over.

Artha: I know Parm. This is just the beginning.

*Ending Credits*

31- No Paynn, No Gain

By J`Rin Tekaar

Origionally posted here: http://s10.invisionfree.com/Dragon_Booster/index.php?showtopic=1167

 

Scene: Interior of Paynn Tower, Word`s control room...

Word Paynn: The Shadow Booster and my worthless son have become thorns in mt side as of late, but sometimes the thorn is not as dangerous as the flower! Dragon`s Bane! A single petal can turn a mob of hundreds into rabid zombies that will attack everything in sight! [puts petal into a disrupter blackout mine] The stable brat and his crew will make a perfect first choice. Once they`re out of the way, I`ll unleash the rest of Dragon City, then the Dragon Booster! The zombies will cause complete chaos! And where there`s chaos, war follows - a new dragon-human war, my dragon-human war!! (laughs malevolently)

Scene: Interior of Penn Racing Crew`s tent; Artha and Kitt studying a holo of a racing track, as Parmon and Lance approach from outside...

Artha: 'The Heart of the Dragon'... We win this race so we can both catch Moordred in the Academy standings!

Kitt: Its a survivor race, stable boy, only one of us will catch him!

Parmon: [as he enters with Lance and a gear rack] You`re going to love this new level seven green ramming gear, Artha! High impact collision deflectors, kinetic converters, and hydrolic equalizers to boot! [trips over Lance`s Dragon Jouster toy] LANCE! I thought I told you to keep this work area tidy! All this rubish is going to attract... [freaks out in fright] creepy crawlies... [continues to freak at sight appearance of drago-slug] getawaygetaway...

Artha: Its just a drago-slug.

Parmon: [sputters] ...Nasty spikey very evil drago-slug!! [attempts to stomp on it, gets knocked down by Kitt]

Kitt: No! They help fertilize soil so that flowers can absorb nutrients. [pick it up, places it safely elsewhere] besides, its not right to go around stepping on living things.

Parmon: You`re right, Kitt. I`ve nearly been stepped on enough myself! [freaks as Beau attempts to step on him in jest] See!! [Beau chuckles at this]

Scene: The starting line of 'The Heart of the Dragon' race...

Race Marshall: Good day to you, my brave all-city street competitors! I am Race Marshall BUDGE! [moves his platform forward] And in attendance today... Sentrus!! The Academy Scout!! [audience cheers announcement]

Scene: The starting line...

Moordred: [to Artha] Ready to lose, stable brat? [scoffs]

RM Budge: 'The Heart of the Dragon' race is about speed, power, but most of all SURVIVAL! The last racer and dragon standing WINS!! [hits gong to start the race; half the competitors go one direction, the others the other direction]

Scene: The crew pits, the tent of The Penn Racing Crew; Word looks furtively around to make sure he`s not seen entering tent.

Scene: A crew booth above the track...

Parmon: [to Artha] Green ramming gear and blue dragonstar gear at twelve o`clock! [Phistus and Pyrah coming towards Artha from two front directions]

Scene: Artha reacts to this news, magging towards Phistus, blocking his battlehammer with his blocking staff, landing on Brutarus` head. Phistus chuckles at this and swings again, but Artha has lept over him, landing on Brutarus` back behind the saddle. Phistus` blow hits Brutarus on the head, stunning him and sending him crashing into Pyrah and her dragon instead. Phistus and Pyrah are out of the race. Beau picks Artha up as he races past him...

Artha: Woo-hoo-hoooo! [crowd enjoys this turn of events]

Sentrus: [from observation booth] Impressive.

Lance: [in booth with Parmon]That was SO drac!

Parmon: [with eyes covered] Oh, I missed it!

RM Budge: UNBELIEVABLE!! After three laps, Pyrah and Phistus are already out of the race!

Scene: Kitt faces off with Moordred, but he uses a mag-pulse to lift himself and his dragon and Wulf collides with Kitt instead, knocking them both out of the race...

RM Budge: KITT WON AND WULF ARE OUT!! Only Moordred Paynn and Artha Penn remain!

Scene: Interior of Penn Crew`s racing tent...

Word: Sorry I missed you, stable brats. But Look! I brought you a nice flower[chuckles sinisterly as he places the disruptor mine on the underside of the table]

Scene: On the racetrack...

Artha: [checks draconium guage, seeing Beau`s levels are diminishing] What`s wrong, Beau? Are you okay? [Beau moans in exhaustion; Artha contacts Parmon...] Ahh Parm? You`re ramming gear is too heavy!

Parmon: [from holo screen] What? That`s impossible!

Scene: The track, as Moodred races toward Artha...

Moordred: You`re MINE, stable brat! [activates red thruster gear, then goes airbourn]

Artha: [to Beau]I`ve got an idea. Mag me! [he goes airbourn to meet Moordred, but...] Eject your green gear... NOW! [Beau ejects it] Thrusters... NOW!

Scene: Both Moordred and Artha rapidly move closer as their dragons get closer, but just before they meet Artha changes position on the mag-stream, getting pulled forward instead of pushed forward, passing a confused Moodred just slightly below him...

Moordred: [suprised]What?

Artha: [as he passes Moordred by...] Woo-hoo-hooo!

Moordred: [as something approaches him] What is THAAAAAaauuug????[gets hit by Beau`s ejected ramming gear, falls to the ground stunned, then in a shakey voice...]Oh. Its ramming gear. [gear falls in front of him stunning him once more]

Scene: Budge`s platform, as crowd goes wild at the action...

RM Budge: WHAT A RACE!! ARTHA PENN TAKES IT!! [crowd continues to cheer]

Scene: Interior of Penn Crew`s racing tent...

Lance: Oh I`m tellin` ya! That was sucha drac move, Artha!

Kitt: Yeah, great race, stable boy!

Parmon: [still miffed] That armour was not designed for that!

Artha: Well, I changed your design, professor!

Parmon: [sputtering] Changed? What?? [Artha, Kitt and Lance laugh at Parmon`s antics]

Scene: Outside, near the tent; Word has been listening to the banter...

Word: [chuckling sinisterly, activates the disruptor mine`s remote detonator, but nothing happens] What? The mine didn`t go off? [tries again, but Artha and crew exit the tent still laughing amongst themselves] Scales! [goes into tent after they leave, pcks up mine and examines it angrilly] Its malfunctioning??

Scene: Exterior of tent, a short distance away...

Parmon: Oh! I forgot my utility computer in the tent. I`ll be back in a sec![heads to tent, entering just as the mine in Word`s hand activates unexpectately...]

Word: Oh, dear. [the beeping mine goes off, filling the air around Word with Dragon Bane smoke] Aaaaghhh! [he emerges growling from the smoke grey skinned with glowing purplish-red eyes and grabs Parmon, dragiing him yelling into the tent, throwing him to the ground...]

Parmon: Artha! HELPPP!!!

Scene: Artha, Kitt, and Lance enter the tent, seeing Word collapsed on top of Parmon...

Artha: [suprised]Word?

Parmon: [knocking Word off himself] He set a trap but it backfired, it turned him into that. He was trying to attack me, but he just collapsed!

Kitt: [checks his heart] His heart-rate is down, he`s cold!

Parmon: [uses a medical scanner] He`s in some kind of deep, deep trance! Let`s leave him like that!

Artha: We have to help him.

Kitt: After everything he`s done to us?

Artha: You`d save a drago-slug life but not Word`s? Let`s get him to Dragon City Hospital.

Parmon: They won`t be able to help him. Acording to my scanners, he`s been hit with some kind of mind altering substance, probably ancient... they won`t have an antidote!

Lance: What do we do?

Parmon: We have to find someone who knows about ancient toxins!

Scene: The Dragon Temple far below Penn Stables...

Connor: You were right to bring him here, Artha. Word has been aflicted with Dragon`s Bane. Now if he`s not treated soon, he will remain like this forever. Parmon is right that there is no antidote in Dragon City, but there is a tome in the library at the academy that contains information on ancient substances and their counter-agents. I saw it when I went there.

Kitt: The Academy? [scoffs] We Can`t go in there! If we get caught we`ll be kicked out of racing forever!

Artha: We have to do this, Kitt. We can`t let him stay like this... even if he is our enemy.

Connor: I`m proud of you, Artha. Even I would have trouble saving him. Good luck.

Scene: Pit Row, exterior Penn Crew tent...

Parmon: Next to Precinct, the Academy`s got the tightest security in Dragon City, filled with laser tripwires, motion sensors, audio detectors...

Artha: I think I know someone who can help us get past all that stuff. Let`s go!

Scene: The Dragon Eye Compound, interior - a training room; Moordred is practicing mag-claw against a hinged caraciture of the Dragon Booster, kicks it,knocking it flat but forgeting the hinge as he turns his back to it and springs back up, knocking him flat...

Moordred: [Moordred growls, frustrated] SCALES!!

Armeggadon: Moordred! Not exactly the mag-claw tecnique I showed you! Your father has fallen victim to one of his own traps.

Moordred: [suprised] What?? What happened?

Armeggadon: He accidentally dosed himself with Dragon`s Bane, and is in a deep trance-state... possibly for good!

Moordred: I`ve got to help him!

Armeggadon: Before you rush off to save him, think about this: with your father incapacitated, his empire is yours, and with me helping you it won`t be long before you are more powerful than your father ever was.

Moordred: But... he`s my father!

Armeggadon: Artha Penn and the other stable brats are already saving him.

Moordred: [angrilly]What?

Armeggadon: They`re going to break into the Academy to find the antidote. I suppose if they get caught in there you can save your father and still get them out of the way at the same time. [Moordred gathers his anger into one mag-claw bolt, firing it at the target and blasting a hole through where the head was painted]

Scene: A roof-top across from the Academy, Artha, Kitt, Parmon, and Lance...

Kitt: So... where`s this 'help'? [Behind them all, someone appears out of nowhere...]

Rivitt: Artha Penn.

Kitt: Rivitt? [sighs] I don`t know about this, Artha.

Rivitt: You want to sneak into the Academy or not? [Kitt nods; Rivitt holds something up] This device will de-activate any security systems you come upon. [As Artha reaches toward it, Rivitt pulls it back...] Ah-ah!

Artha: [confused] What?

Rivitt: You haven`t told me why you want to sneak into the Academy.

Kitt: What? [scoffs derisively]

Artha: I need information from the library that will help save Word Paynn.

Rivitt: Ahh, you`re beginning to sound like a Mechanist, young Artha Penn! You understand that not all in life is black and white, there is much grey! [activates his personal cloaking device, and disappears]

Kitt: [suprised] What?

Artha: Parm? Break out the gear.

Scene: Parmon looks at the Academy, finds a good spot and activates some white rappel gear, firing the grapnel to that spot and then secures the gear on the building behind them...

Artha: Let`s do this! [slides across the line using his blocking staff, followed by the others]

Parmon: [before sliding across] Wait a second! What am I doing?? I`m afraid of heights! [works up some courage, and then slides...] Wait for meeeeeeeee!!

Scene: Interior hallway of the Academy, the crew creep quietly along to avoid detection, passing a dark alcove where Sentrus is watching them go by; Artha consults Rivitt`s device...

Kitt: [whispering] This place is HUGE!

Lance: And full of... BUGS!! [taps Parmon on the back, pretending to be a bug, freaking him out and making him take off down the hall and around the next corner]

Parmon: [trapped in a web of laser tripwires, contorted awkwardly] Oh, my!

Artha: Parm. Stay absolutely still. [presses a button on Rivitt`s device, deactivating the tripwires; Parmon then falls flat] Okay guys, this way.

Scene: After going down the hall, they enter the library where Artha stops transfixed by a painting...

Artha: [awed] Whoa, the original Dragon Booster. [crosses arms over chest and bows respectfully; Kitt also finds herself transfixed by a painting, this one of a female warrior in red armour, holding a flame in one hand...]

Kitt: [reading the title plate below the painting...] It says "The Fire Booster"? [she duplicates Artha`s bow, as Sentrus watches from behind a bookshelf]

Scene: After searching some shelves, Artha finds the right book...

Artha: Here it is! [reads aloud] "The effects of Dragon`s Bane can be countered by the crushed petals of the Star Flower, harvested from the Wastelands of Loane." This is it!

Parmon: [continues the reading] "The wastelands are a dangerous place, adventurists should beware the deadly hydrags and..." [gasps] "the Muhorta"!!

Scene: Interior of a library window with tripwires still active; Moordred watches the book through binocs, listening to Artha and Parmon reading...

Moordred: [quietly] Thanks for deactivating the security and showing me how to get the antidote, stable brat! My father will be very happy I saved him... and got rid of you at the same time! [deliberately goes through the tripwires in the window, setting off a loud alarm]

Scene: The floor of the library as the alarm goes off suprising the crew, Kitt notices Sentrus is there watching them...

Kitt: Oh no. [Sentrus gestures with her hand, shutting off the alarm]

Artha: Sentrus! This isn`t what it looks like! We were actually trying to...

Sentrus: [cutting him off] Silence! I know why you are here! Your mission to save the life of your enemy is noble, and your honouring the ancient warriors has been noted. You will make excellent additions to the Academy! I sincerely hope that you prove yourselves in the next few races. [pulls a book on a shelf, opening a hidden passageway to the crew`s suprise] Now get out!! [they comply as quickly as possible]

Scene: The roadway outside from the Academy; Moordred watches the Pen crew on the street below...

Moordred: What? Escaped?? I`ve got to stop them! He`s my father and I`m saving him!

Scene: The Wastelands of Loane; Artha, Kitt, Parmon and Lance and their dragons move along an ancient roadbed...

Lance: [shouts to hear the echoes...] Hel-lo! [it echoes a few times]

Artha: Lance! We don`t need to draw any attention to ourselves!

Lance: [worried] Okay but...

Artha: What? [Lance points up to a ruined archway above a short distance away, where the Shadow Booster is perched with his dragon watching them]

Kitt: Oh no!

Artha: [as Shadow Booster powers up] Take cover!

Scene: Moordred, as Shadow Booster mag-blasts the ruined tower above the Penn crews heads, collapsing it onto them...

Shadow Booster: The Penn brats are finished! [directs his dragon away] He-yah!

Scene: Inside the fallen rubble, which has fallen around but not onto the crew...

Artha: [to the others] Get to the Star Flowers, I`ll distract Shadow Booster!

Parmon: Okay, but BE careful Artha![they go off to find the flowers]

Artha: RELEASE THE DRAGON! [activates his draconium armour as Beau changes into the Dragon of Legend]

Scene: Further along the ancient roadway, Dragon Booster catches up to the Shadow Booster...

Artha: [as Dragon Booster] Shadow Booster! [activates his jackstick as Shadow Booster activates his blocking staff]

Scene: As they get in range, they swing at each other with their lances, blocking each other in a stalemate; they then ingage in a Mag-claw battle until the noise attracts the hydrags, who attack them; Artha ducks his attacker, but Moordred attacks his hydrag opponent...

Armeggadon: Moordred. Let the hydrags finish them for you. Then you can return for the antidote you seek.

Shadow Booster: Have fun, Dragon Loser! [laughs derisively as he leaves]

Artha: [as the hydrags growl menacingly at him] We`re not going down without a fight! [as he asumes a defensive position, Beau vocalizes to Artha] What are you grinning at?

Scene: Another roadbed nearby, Kitt, Parmon, and Lance are running a gauntlet of snarling hydrags...

Parmon: The map clearly indicates the we are close!

Lance: And we`re really close to those hydrags! Aaaaaaah!!!! [they all scream at near misses by the hydrags]

Kitt: [exhausted] We can`t outrun them![they all come to a stop as three hydrags appear in front of them]

Lance: [fearfully] We`re surounded!

Artha: [from off screen] Don`t be afraid!

Kitt: [suprised] Hunh?

Artha: The hydrags are friends![Beau makes indignant noise] Well, uh, of the Dragon of Legend. They`re gonna show us where the Star Flowers are, too.

Scene: Interior of the Penn crew racing tent; Artha administers the antidote to Word...

Artha: Let`s hope this works [makes Word drink the antidote, as unnoticed Moordred watches; Word begins to wake up]

Word: [not quite awake, can`t focus eyes, sees the Penn crew] Stable brats? must`ve... [passes out, wakes up in his control room in Paynn Tower] Uh, my mind must be playing tricks! I had a dream the stable brats saved my life! It felt so real!

Moordred: But it was me, father, [Word tries to focus his eyes on Moordred] I saved you.

Word: [collapses into his seat] You`ve done well, my boy... very well indeed!

Scene: Exterior of Paynn Tower, fade to black.

Dragon Booster Episode 32: When Opposites Attract

Scene: The Wastelands of Loane, Stewardd of the Keepers comes into
view, singing to himself...

Stewardd: Oh, I am a Keeper, a` scavengin`s what I do, I find things
and fix `em, and make `em all anew! Yes I find things and fix `em, and
make `em all work sweeter, for my name is Stewardd! And it`s I that
leeeeeeeads... The Keepers! (starts humming the tune, until he finds
the crest of the Prophets; worried voice...) Oh, Scales!

NOTE: I missed a few lines at this point. Any help would be appreciated!

Scene: Still the wastelands, Stewardd finds Artha`s Jakk Stick...

Stewardd: (gasps) The Dragon Booster`s Jakk Stick! (examines it) It is not broken, No, why would Dragon Booster toss it down?

Scene: Dragon City, a dark street in downcity level; Dragon Booster battles Shadow Booster, but is not winning...

Artha/Dragon Booster: Whooooaaaaa OOOFFF! (he and Beau have been blasted to side of road, hitting the barrier; Shadow Booster presses his advantage fully; Beau is injured) Beau!

Armeggadon: Well done, Shadow Booster. They`re at your mercy. Summon the mag-rip like I taught you. Take the victor`s spoils! (hits Beau with mag-rip, draining his energy at a fiercesome rate, while Artha tries to help, taking some of the punishment himself)

Scene: One street level above, Parmon Kitt and Lance watch the action, worried...

Parmon: (shocked) Oh, my. Tha Shadow Booster`s draining their energy! It`s some kind of ancient mag-fighting tecnique! Oh what to do what to do???

Kitt: Heeyaah! (has Wyldfyr leap down to Artha`s level)

Parmon: Kitt! Noo!!

Moordred/Shadow Booster: That`s right Dragon Booster... keep fighting it! The more you struggle against the mag-rip, the more energy there is for me to feed off on! (Artha groans, but Kitt suddenly lands in front of them)

Kitt: Dinner`s over, Shadow Booster!

Shadow Booster: And dessert is served!

Scene: Shadow Booster stops mag-rip on Beau to attack Kitt, but Kitt uses her thruster gear to lay down a barrier of fire...

Kitt: Artha! You have to get up! I don`t know how long I can keep this up!

Artha: (weakly) I`m trying! (suddenly, his armour begins to flicker out)

Kitt: What`s happening? You`re losing your armour!

Scene: Shadow Booster mag-blasts them, sending them over the barrier; they drop a short distance, then fall into a large pipe and disappear into the depths.

Armeggadon: This isn`t over, my student. The Dragon Booster still lives. Hunt them down and finish what you have started!

Scene: Dragon Eye`s compound, Cain`s room; Cain is asleep in a chair - sucking his thumb! - when Moordred contacts him on his communicator...

Moordred: Cain... CAIN!!! Get Up!! (Cain wakes up startled) Meet me in the Wastelands, I need your help!

Scene: Wastelands, near the entrance to the Track of Doom; Stewardd
moves toward his carrier of loot, humming to himself...

Stewardd: I must return the Jakk Stick to Dragon Booster. Yes, yes, must return it (suddenly a loud roar is heard, and a large shadow comes over him, making him look up in fright) Aaaaaaaaaaa...!!!!

Scene: Another part of the wastelands, the exit of the pipe Artha, Kitt, and their dragons fell into; Artha moans weakly as armour flickers once more, Beau moans loudly in pain echoing across the wastelands - overheard by Propheci...

Propheci: I recognize that voice! Beau! The dragon of legend is near... and he sounds weakened... in pain! Do not worry, I will come to you and stop your suffering... forever!

Scene: The street where the battle took place, Parmon and Lance search for the others...

Lance: I don`t see them anywhere!

Parmon: Don`t worry, Lance! According to my calculations, there is a very good chance that they fell into one of those ducts. It would be a rough ride, but it would eventually spill them out into... Oh, dear! The Wastelands of Loane! Oh! All right, well, let`s see... we could get there by taking the Worktown bridge to sector four, then a quick left onto the Squire`s End intersector...

Lance: Uh, Parm? Are you wearing your A.R.E.S. pack? {NOTE: glider pack}

Parmon: Yes, why? (Lance pushes him off the edge, and jumps off himself) LAAAAAANNNCCCEE!!!!

Scene: Parmon and Lance both activate their ARES packs and float down to the ducts - Lance giggling, Parmon freaking out - but they end up colliding and go into seperate ducts. Scene switches elsewhere in the wastelands, Artha, Kitt and their dragons take shelter in the ruins of a building...

Kitt: We should be safe in here!

Artha: (groans weakly) I guess I got my butt kicked a little back there. Without my Jakk Stick I couldn`t tune to his mag-wave.

Kitt: Don`t sweat it, stable boy, like your dad told you, there are still a few things you need to learn.

Artha: (groans) Yeah, like how to land softer (Beau moans loudly) What is it, boy? (moans again) Something`s wrong, he`s really hurt. (groans himself) And I`m not doin` too well myself.

Kitt: You don`t look so good.

Artha: That mag attack was really something! (Wyldfyr roars quietly, sensing something)

Kitt: Shhh!

Artha: What is it? (loud thumping, them someone familliar appears behind a tall pile of rubble...) It`s Stewardd! Ho boy are we glad to see you!

Kitt: (noticing how strangely Stewardd is acting) Something is wrong!

Scene: Stewardd acts strangely, then orange control gear appears behind him, clamping down on his head, as Prophesi rises up from behind the rubble - Stewardd has been on his back all a long!

Artha: Prophesi! He`s got Stewardd!!

Kitt: And look! Stewardd has your Jakk Stick!

Prophesi: (speaking through Stewardd) The great Beaucephalus! And the
Dragon Booster! Weakened and at my mercy. I have not forgotten our last
meeting!

Artha: Looks like being sealed up in his temple has made him a little
cranky!

Prophesi: Prepare to meet your doom!

Kitt: Very cranky!

Scene: Prophesi mag blasts the ruins, bringing them down on Artha and Kitt...

Prophesi: With the dragon of legend gone, I will assemble my army of

orange dragons and attack Dragon City!!(runs off, laughing malevolently)

Scene: The wastelands, the exits of the ducts from Dragon City; Parmon comes out of one, Lance another - nowhere near each other...

Parmon: Aaaaaaaaaa-ooooffff Oh! Oww!!

Lance: (a distance away)*giggles* Whoaaa oooff! (shakes head, laughs)
That was drac! (realizes he`s alone) Uhhh, Parm? Paaaaarrrrmmmm!!

Parmon: (elsewhere) Uh, heh heh Lance? Uh, Lance??

Moordred: (from out of nowhere) Hmm!

Parmon: (startled) Ah!! Moordred?? (gets grabbed) Moordred!

Scene: Moodred has grabbed Parmon when Prophesi and Stewardd appear;
Moordred drops Parmon...

Parmon: OWW!! (Prophesi growls)

Scene: Parmon and Moordred try to escape, and Moordred`s dragon tries to come to her rider`s aid, but Prophesi blasts a large column down in her way...

Prophesi: More meddlesome humans... it`s the track of doom for you!

Scene: Inside the collapsed ruins, Artha and Kitt are together, but seperated from their dragons...

Kitt: Are you all right?

Artha: Yeah, just banged up. (deactivates his armour)Thanks for pulling me in. Where are Wyldfyr and Beau? (Wyldfyr and Beau roar from nearby)

Kitt: Trapped!

Artha: Look! There`s an opening.(light comes in from hole near ceiling) It`s too small for me, maybe you can get out ang get help!

Kitt: (climbs up to hole) we`re working together, stable boy. If we can get to Stewardd, we can get your Jakk Stick back! Maybe by then Beau will have recharged enough power to help us take care of Prophesi and Shadow Booster!

Artha: Wyldfyr! Beau! You have to wait here! We will come back for you!

Scene: The wastelands, the duct exit where Lance emerged...

Lance: Parm!! Where are you?? Parm!!! (a loud sound behind him) Hunh?
(Cain Appears)

Cain: Look what we have here! Did yer baby-sitter run off on you?

Lance: Let me go, ya big drag-clown! (stomps on Cain`s foot)

Cain: (yelps in pain) Oh, right on my corn!! You`re gonna regret this, you little... (a loud roar and heavy stomping sounds scares him and Lance, he jumps down a hole and Lance quickely joins him; Prophesi then runs past - with Parmon and Moordred captive)

Scene: A holding cell in the Track of Doom; Moordred uses a rock to try to break the cell`s lock...

Parmon: Oh that banging is pointless! And very annoying! If you stop acting like a caveman, I might have a way we can get out of here that requires less noise and more ingenuity! (holds up his welding torch) We can pick the lock!

Moordred: Gimme that!

Parmon: Gimme? Gimme?? Look, just because we`re trapped in a cage by a delusional dragon bent on destroying the world does not mean we cannot be civilized towards one another and remember our manners!

Moordred: (angry) I said gimme that!!! (they struggle over it, but knock it outside the cell door)

Scene: The bottom of the hole Cain and Lance jumped down...

Cain: Get off me! Where are we? (activates light stick)

Lance: I dunno, but it sure is creepy in here! (growling sounds from the darkness...)

Cain: Hydrags!!

Scene: The wastelands, outside the Track of Doom...

Kitt: Well, here`s Stewardd`s mag-rack! Rest here a sec.

Artha: Hey! It looks like an old tandem gear pod! It still got some mag-charge left!

Kitt: That might come in handy against the Shadow Booster or the Prophets! (Artha tries to go near it, but is too weak) Looks like the energy drain really affected you.

Artha: Yeah, its like Beau and I are both weak. Lately our energy is more tied together than ever!

Kitt: Hmmm... (gets a mischievous look in her eye) I have an idea... (goes to mag-rack, activates it and mags Artha to it!)

Artha: Kitt!!!(Kitt then pushes the mag-rack with him magged to it)
This isn`t embarassing at all. (deadpan)

Kitt: Oh stop whining! I`m doing all the work!

Scene: The Track of Doom Holding cells, Parmon tries to reach through the bars to get his welding tool...

Moordred: Hurry up! There`s something coming!!

Parmon: My arm is only so long! (Moodred grabs him by the back of his shirt and waist of his pants and pushes him further through the bars, reaching the tool easily)

Moordred: You work well under pressure! Now gimme the tool! (Parmon refuses, as heavy foot steps start getting nearer) Hurry! Give it to me now!!

Parmon: Aren`t you forgetting something? (begins to whistle to himself)

Moordred: Oh, you`ll pay for this! (Parmon continues to whistle,
ignoring him) Give me the tool... PLEASE!

Parmon: There! That wasn`t so difficult now, was it? (Moordred mearly grabs the tool from him, using it to open the lock)

Moordred: So long, egghead! I travel alone! (runs off, but falls forward hard)Whoa uhnnn!

Parmon: There`s one more thing you`re forgetting... (they are joined by
the leg to each other by a shackle)

Scene: The door to the cellblock begins to open...

Moordred: Scales!! Don`t just stand there, get moving! (Parmon refuses
at this rudeness, Moordred growls) Oh! PLEASE (Parmon agrees and Moordred takes off, forcing Parmon to hop off balance all the way; Prophesi arrives and sees the cell is empty...)

Prophesi: The humans have escaped! Find them!!!

Scene: Outside the Track of Doom...

Artha: Kitt, we`re in deep. I need my Jakk Stick, I need to get back to Beau! (a noise behind them makes them turn in fear to see an orange dragon, but...) Reepyr! It`s been a long time! You`re okay!

Reepyr: Yes! (dismounts) After the temple was sealed, I managed to elude capture. From the shadows I attempted to gather allies within the ranks of orange dragons (pats dragon beside him) This is one. Prophesi is growing more and more dangerous, he cannot be reasoned with and he will not stop until humankind is totally enslaved. I have hoped that you would return here, and now we have a chance of stopping him.

Artha: (weakly) Reepyr, there`s something you should know... (passes out, collapses but Reepyr catches him)

Scene: Moordred and Parmon run down passageways in the Track of Doom
temple, trying to avoid capture...

Moordred: Scales!! A dead end!! (Parmon bumps into him and falls down) C`mon, we`re going back!

Parmon: (sarcastically) Oh, excellent idea! Why we could just

ask that giant orange dragon back there for directions!

Moordred: I`m sorry, egghead, maybe you should take the lead from now on!

Parmon: That`s very gracious of you, Moordred, I`m glad that you`ve

seen the error of your ways Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh... (Moordred lets him walk so far, then yanks the shackle back - knocking Parmon off his feet, and laughs)

Scene: A ladderway lets Lance and then Cain into the temple, as hydrags growl and snap at the ladder bottom...

Cain: (shudders) Now, where was I? Baby-sitter gone, and since its not my job... you can just hang here (puts Lance on stone dragonhead on wall)

Lance: Put me down!!! (Cain merely chuckles; suddenly the stone dragon`s jaw lowers, swinging the wall around - and they switch places with Moordred and Parmon)

Parmon: (not realizing the switch, still laughed at by Moordred) Oh,
very funny, Moordred. I have a good mind to... uh... Moordred? It seems we no longer have our dead end problem.

Moordred: No, but we got a big orange dragon problem! Move it egghead!!!

Scene: Moordred and Parmon run down the passageway away from the sound of approaching Prophets, passing through an arched doorway, tripping on a stone block on the floor - right in front of Prophesi and some other Prophets...

Prophesi: Behold! The humans have thrown themselves at my feet! They have proven themselves as inferior!

Moordred: (quietly to Parmon) Sit tight and get ready to run. (to Propheci) Hey, ugly! I suggest you take a hike before I come over there and introduce you to pain!

Prophesi: (enraged) SILENCE!!

Scene: Prophesi sends a mag blast towards Moordred, who moves out of the way and holds up the line connecting his leg shackle to Parmon`s, letting the blast sever it...

Moordred: Haul Scales, egghead!!! (they both take off the way they came, but run head first into Lance and Cain, all ending up in a pile on the floor)

Cain: Funny running into you here!

Lance: Not so funny anymore! (the Prophets surround them) Uh, guys? We may be in a little trouble!

Scene: Just outside the doorway, Artha, Kitt, and Reepyr watch the Prophets surround the others...

Artha: Prophesi`s gonna fry them, I`ve gotta do something! (holds up the amulet`s star) RELEASE THE DRAaaaaGON!!!

Kitt: (after Artha activates his armour) Wait! You`re in NO shape to do this alone! (looks at Reepyr`s orange companion, then Stewardd`s mag-rack)I have an idea!

Scene: Beyond the doorway...

Prophesi: It is over, humans!

Scene: Prophesi is distracted by Reepyr and his dragon coming running full speed down the passageway knocking other Prophets aside with his blocking staff, mag-pulling Artha and the mag-rack with Kitt riding on top of the rack...

Kit: Reepyr! Now!! (Reepyr`s dragon takes a left turn, flinging the mag-rack straight at Prophesi striking him hard, making him bellow in pain) Eeee-Yahhh! (Kitt launches herself over Prophesi, grabbing the Jack Stick from Stewardd as she flies by) NOW, DRAGON BOOSTER!!

Scene: Artha, wearing the old tandem gear stands over Prophesi and runs a line from the gear into Prophesi`s saddle...

Moordred: What is he doing?

Lance: He may have a plan!

Scene: Prophets come running towards them, but Reepyr holds them off usinf his blocking staff...

Artha: Hurry, Kitt!

Kitt: (adjusting the Jack Stick) I`m trying
