* 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.
Sentrus: 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 flies 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.
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.*
Budge: 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?! You're 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...
Kitt: 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!! (gets it adjusted) It`s locked to their mag-frequency! (tosses it to Artha) GO!! (Artha catches it, and jams it into Prophesi`s saddle, waking him up)

Scene: Prophesi stands up, with Artha still pearched on his head...
Prophesi: (to the other Prophets) FRY HIM!!!

Scene: The other Prophets fire mag-blasts at Artha, who moves out of the way and the blasts instead are absorbed by the Jack Stick and sent into Prophesi`s saddle, then out of the saddle throught the line from the tandem gear, channeling into Artha`s armour re-energizing him...
Artha: Aaaaaaaahhhh...!
Kitt: Its working!! You power is stabilizing!!

Scene: To the others suprise and amazement, when Artha`s armour is fully powered, a bolt of mag-energy fires from him through the roof and across the wasteland to where Beau and Wyldfyr are trapped, punching through that roof and re-energizing Beau; Prophesi passes out from the energy drain, releasing Stewardd, who falls backward but Kitt is ther to catch him...
Stewardd: Thank you for saving me!
Kitt: Don`t thank me just yet!

Scene: The other Prophets are still awake and surround them menacingly...
Artha: Stay together! (as Beau and Wyldfyr break throught the wall...)Beau!

Scene: Beau roars at the Prophets, who then run away; Beau mags Artha onto his saddle as Wylfyr does the same for Kitt and Stewardd; Moordred watches from beside a pillar, then walks around it to block any view of himself and lift up the key to his armour...
Armeggadon: Dragon Booster has regained his strength... and it appears he has a strong ally in this Kitt Won. This opportunity to be rid of him has eluded us. We have much more training ahead of us.

Scene: The holding cells in the Track of Doom Temple, Prophesi is unconcious inside one cell as Reepry is near the locking mechanism...
Reepyr: Your strength, bravery, and teamwork have again convinced the Prophets that aligning themselves with Prophesi and his deranged plans for war was folly. (locks Prophesi`s cell) You can rest assured that I will vigilent, and make sure that he never leaves his cell!
Artha: Good luck, my friend. C`mon guys, let`s roll!
Kitt: Yeah, and this time I don`t have to push! I think you`ve been eating one too many Draconi-Yum bars!
Scene: They all laugh at this as they leave the cell block; meanwhile inside his cell, Prophesi opens his eye... and smiles.

DB EP-33 "THE DEFIANT"
FADE IN:
ACT ONE
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- NIGHT
Looking down at the Libris Track, a cloud of dragons zooms upwards at blazing speed. It sounds like thunder as the air is ripped in their wake.
EXT. ON THE BACK OF DECEPSHUN -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD leaps into the air on a mag beam and spins through some hoops and bashes two targets.
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
A blocking gate opens allowing the Dragon Eyes to go to the next level. The gate flies up in front of KHATAH and SARJO and WULPH and FERRYT.
EXT. THE AIR ABOVE THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
KHATAH and WULPH mag up just above and below MOORDRYD along the same wall. MOORDRYD uses his mag push to knock KHATAH sideways.
MOORDRYD
Need a hand, Khatah? HERE!
KHATAH hits a target with his body.
KHATAH
OOOFF!
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
KHATAH'S dragon and SARJO catch him as he falls.
EXT. THE AIR ABOVE THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
Then, MOORDRYD turns gracefully and spins and bashes WULPH with a couple of mag kicks. WULPH tumbles down to a lower level.
The eyes of ARMEGGADDON appear in front of MOORDRYD'S amulet.
ARMEGGADDON
Excellent my student. The Racing Academy and then, the world are within your grasp. Now, show these pitiful fools the mag bounce I taught you!
MOORDRYD closes his eyes and another mag energy ball forms between his fingers and he fires it ahead of him as he spins back down to DECEPSHUN. MOORDRYD looks forward with a grin.
EXT. HIGHER ON THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
The energy ball bounces off of two targets, turning them.
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
A ramp opens to MOORDRYD, a blocking gate flies up in front of KHATAH and SARJO. BOOM! They crash!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF DECEPSHUN -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD looks back at CAIN with a smile.
MOORDRYD
I really am such a PAYNN!
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA, KITT and BEAU blast up along side MOORDRYD. Determination fills ARTHA'S eyes. The air rippling over them like a tornado.
CAIN
Stable Brats...nine o'clock!
ARTHA
Nine o'clock! Party time!
ARTHA and MOORDRYD mag straight for their respective targets and they clash on the way up.
EXT. THE AIR ABOVE THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA sky dances through some hoops and mag pushes two targets. The first target opens a gate for KITT and the second puts up blocking gates for CAIN.
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
KITT and BEAU fly up the ramp.
EXT. ON THE BACK OF DECEPSHUN -- CONTINUOUS
CAIN has to use all of his skill and he fires turning gear to swing out wide on the edge of the track!
CAIN
WHOA! UGH! ARGGH!
EXT. THE AIR ABOVE THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
For his part, MOORDRYD does the same. He mag blasts away at two targets of his own.
EXT. ON THE BACK OF BEAU -- CONTINUOUS
KITT and BEAU have to execute even more frantic maneuvers to avoid gates. BEAU leaps over the first just before it slams, and has to blast right through the second.
KITT
ARGHH!
EXT. THE AIR ABOVE THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD and ARTHA are still firing mag charged kicks and punches at each other. They spin and spar with blocking staffs like a scene from "Hero".
EXT. PENN CREW AREA -- CONTINUOUS
MARIANIS
They're using personal mag energy moves...It's not fair! We don't have those skills!
LANCE
Moordryd's the one who's cheating, Artha and Kitt are just defending themselves!
MARIANIS
Very well little fish, but we can defend ourselves too!
(into her comm link)
Dorsull, mag attack class gear on the next turn!
EXT. TRACK VIEWING STAND -- CONTINUOUS
BUDGE turns to SENTRUS and is about to speak when SENTRUS leans back to BUDGE.
SENTRUS
I know what you are thinking, Race Marshall. Those techniques are very ancient and while the Academy is looking for just such skill, reckless use of such power is very disturbing. We must watch closely less this get out of hand.
EXT. PENN CREW AREA -- CONTINUOUS
PARMON turns to LANCE
PARMON
Oh dear. Things are going to get out of hand.
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
WULPH and FERRYT, followed by DORSULL and another DRAGON FISH RACER, STYNGRAAY, move past the mag racks and mag Green Ramming and Blue Dragon Star Gear.
EXT. PENN CREW AREA -- CONTINUOUS
LANCE
Things just got TOTALLY out of hand!
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
From high above, the battle rages, sparks fly.
PAYNN WIPE TO:
INT. WORD'S CITADEL -- CONTINUOUS
The scene is framed in the monitors of WORD PAYNN. He hits a control button on his console and the camera zooms to his son.
WORD
(to himself)
Very impressive my son. Mag claw, mag push, mag bounce...but how have you come to know of these ancient techniques? I never showed them to you.
Suddenly, WORD whips around. He touches his head.
P.O.V. WORD -- CONTINUOUS
Re-use from Episode 25, Word sees the images of ARMEGGADDDON'S eyes flashing across the landscape of the Wastelands.
INT. WORD'S CITADEL -- CONTINUOUS
WORD
You? I know that presence, I have felt it before! There is far more here, than meets the dragon eye...
WORD picks up his wraith controller and two wraith dragons materialize behind him.
WRAITH DRAGONS
GRRRRRRRRRRRR!
WORD
Do not return until you have found who is meddling with my son!
They nod and race off.
EXT. HORN OF LIBRIS TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
WULPH and FERRYT come up a ramp behind MOORDRYD and CAIN and fire a mace ball from their Green Ramming Gear.
The large projectile misses as DECEPSHUN ducks and it slams into some targets ahead. The debris flies as MOORDRYD and CAIN and ARTHA and KITT dodge it.
STYNGRAY and DORSULL fire up their Blue Dragon Star Gear and fire away!
The small stars hit a few targets. Ahead of the entire field, walls spring up blocking the entire track both IN FRONT AND BEHIND!
ARTHA
WHOAAAA!
Everybody tries to emergency stop. BOOM! It's a huge crash! When the dust clears, several small battles have erupted!
MOORDRYD faces off against ARTHA. They spin into the air and battle with ARTHA'S blocking staff and MOORDRYD'S whip like martial artists.
ARTHA
You started this!
MOORDRYD
Actually, I'm finishing it!
Nearby, KITT and CAIN duel with blocking staffs.
DORSULL and WULPH tumble through the frame wrestling.
STYNGRAAY and FERRYT circle each other looking for an opening.
EXT. TRACK VIEWING STAND -- CONTINUOUS
SENTRUS leans over to BUDGE.
SENTRUS
It has gone too far. Call in the Gargoyles!
BUDGE glumly hits a switch on his platform.
EXT. HIGHER ON THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
An access ramp lowers to the track and Police dragons fire down it. The blocking ramps raise revealing CAPTAIN FAIER and his men. They brandish flash sticks and trapping gear. ARTHA and MOORDRYD are the last to stop fighting. The officers move in as they continue to spar.
CAPTAIN FAIER
Put down your weapons! Power down your gear! This race is officially suspended!
They turn to see that they are surrounded!
ACADEMY WIPE TO:
INT. ALL CITY TRACK SIDE -- MOMENTS LATER
SENTRUS steps forward and fixes ARTHA and MOORDRYD in her stare as she paces past the assembled racers.
SENTRUS
Your abilities with the ancient ways do you much credit...but your use of them has become dangerous and irresponsible. If a brawl like this happens again, this race season will be canceled!
ARTHA and MOORDRYD glare at each other. MOORDRYD suddenly smiles.
MOORDRYD
(to himself)
And if the race season is canceled while I lead in the points standings, I get into the Academy!
FADE OUT:
ACT TWO
FADE IN:
INT. DOWN CITY CREW COUNCIL -- NIGHT
The image from the track plays on a huge monitor behind PHISTUS in the Down City Council of 12 Chamber.
PHISTUS
We must all get a grip! If fighting like this continues on the track, the future of racing is in danger. Academy and the Elite Class are our tickets out of Squire's End.
MOORDRYD
Tell that to the stable brat Artha Penn and his so called crew! I'm just using what I know to defend myself!
KHATAH
Your helmet is too tight Paynn. You're brain isn't getting enough oxygen. You attacked the rest of us on the track today. With your new mag moves!
MOORDRYD leans in at him.
MOORDRYD
Careful Khatah. The Dragon Eyes have allies in this council...
VOCIFEROUS moves in behind MOORDRYD.
KHATAH
As does the Inner Order, Paynn!
KHATAH
And many of our crews have pieces of the the ancient texts in our possession...we can pool our knowledge and learn these moves and defend ourselves too.
MARIANIS slides behind KHATAH along with KAWAKE and PYRRAH. BOOM! The huge hammer of PHISTUS slams down on the table!
PHISTUS
WRONG! We must pledge now not to use them at all! We must not fight amongst ourselves, we already have seen the return of the Orange Prophet dragons to the city, the mighty Libris, wraith dragons and this dangerous new menace, the Shadow Booster. We must all do our part to prevent another Dragon Human War, not to begin one!
MOORDRYD
Great words fist face! But as I said, save them for the stable brat. I was just defending myself!
MOORDRYD exchanges a grin with CAIN.
DRAGON EYE WIPE TO:
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK - MID CITY MALL -- NIGHT
Through the streets, a field of racers thunder by led by ARTHA. Over the back of them, we chase cam past narrow obstacles, leaning, ducking and jumping. The sides of buildings zoom by in a shuddering blur.
EXT. NARROW PASS -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA and BEAU fire White Rappel Gear to make a tight turn at amazing speed. The line hits, goes tight and they slingshot around a building. WHOOSH!
BAM! VOCIFEROUS comes up beside ARTHA and uses Purple Tandem Gear to reel him in. He grabs ARTHA by the jacket collar.
VOCIFEROUS
No mag moves today Penn. This is a warning!
PARMON
Obviously some of the crews are finding you to blame for yesterday's madness!
ARTHA
ME?!?
KITT
And Dragon City Security is all over this race like flies on a melted DraconeeYum candy bar!
LANCE
You'll just have to kick Moordryd's butt the old fashioned way...
From a feeding side alley, MOORDRYD zooms for ARTHA.
P.O.V. ARTHA -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD races right for us, deploys his energy whip and mag leaps.
EXT. ON THE BACK OF BEAU -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA deploys his blocking staff and jumps to meet him.
EXT. THE AIR ABOVE THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD'S whip wraps around the staff, pulling them together, face to face. They grab each other, spinning like wrestlers in the mag beam.
MOORDRYD spins back off the whip line and kicks ARTHA back.
ARTHA swings his staff at MOORDRYD'S feet, he spins away and mags to his dragon. MOORDRYD laughs.
MOORDRYD
The Academy is mine! Soon it's back to the stable for you brat!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF BEAU -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA
I may be going back to the stable but you're the one headed for a dragon stall!
ARTHA activates Green Ramming Gear and fires a mace ball at DECEPSHUN.
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK - MID CITY MALL -- CONTINUOUS
It breaks off MOORDRYD'S Red Thruster Gear. BANG! DECEPSHUN is rocked. Her energy is draining and the indicators beep and flash on MOORDRYD'S saddle as ARTHA passes.
MOORDRYD fires his own Rappel Claw into BEAU'S gear and a wall ahead and the tightening line yanks BEAU toward a wall. BEAU fires a mag beam ahead at the claw that's entrenched. It begins to rattle but stays attached!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF BEAU -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA has to think fast, he jumps up in his saddle and mag walks down BEAU'S back, ducking and hanging on. He jams his blocking staff into the rappel claw and pries it free, leaps back to the saddle and swerves just in time!
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK - MID CITY MALL -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD pulls close again. He yells over to ARTHA as they swerve and duck obstacles and ground shaking pace.
MOORDRYD
Hey stable brat! Remember the night I came to steal your father's dragon?
ARTHA glares back. They both climb to their feet to spar while mag standing on their dragons.
MOORDRYD
The night he ran and hid and left you and your brother all alone! He was probably off in a corner someplace cowering like a baby hatch-ling...AFRAID!
ARTHA
MY FATHER IS NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING!
The two huge dragons crash together as they boys jump back to their saddles. MOORDRYD grins wickedly, ARTHA seethes and...
Fires a mag blast from his hands. BOOM! MOORDRYD is knocked back off his saddle, he hangs on for life.
VOCIFEROUS fires in from the side. Tandem gear flies into BEAU. The great dragon shudders as his power is disrupted!
VOCIFEROUS
I warned you! WE SAID NO MAG MOVES!
VOCIFEROUS then fires Turquoise flash sticks into the track ahead. The flashes blind BEAU who loses control and spins sideways!
KHATAH mags into frame from above but VOCIFEROUS knocks him flying with his blocking staff! ARTHA knocks MOORDRYD and VOCIFEROUS back with a mag push of his own.
The entire group crashes through civilian areas and piles up in a huge tangle! KABOOM!
EXT. TRACK VIEWING STAND -- CONTINUOUS
BUDGE and SENTRUS jump up.
SENTRUS
NOT AGAIN!
An alarm sounds!
ACADEMY WIPE TO:
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK -- MOMENTS LATER
The crews are just rising to their feet when they discover FAIER, his men and SENTRUS surrounding them.
SENTRUS
I have seen enough! Only through Academy Training can one truly understand this ancient power. Now, look at you...fighting amongst yourselves. An all out street battle can not be far off! This is the path to Dragon Human War!
She paces the crowd.
SENTRUS
Since you can no longer control yourselves on the track, we have no alternative but to cancel racing until this situation can be rectified.
ARTHA
WHAT? But what about the Academy selection? There are more races left in the season!
SENTRUS
Young Mister Paynn is the current point leader, Mister Paynn gets into Academy!
She turns away dismissively.
MOORDRYD
YES! YESSSSSSS!
The other crews glare at ARTHA.
ARTHA
(sotto)
NO!
FADE OUT:
ACT THREE
FADE IN:
INT. THE DRAGON CAVE -- NIGHT
ARTHA paces the cave with the others watching.
ARTHA
Without the Academy training, how am I supposed be the Dragon Booster? How am I supposed to unlock the rest of Beau's powers?
KITT
And with Moordryd getting that training. There's no telling what he and his father can do next!
CONNOR
I'll go before the Academy Council and Dragon City Security and see what I can do. I have friends in both places. This is not over!
CONNOR walks off towards the elevator as the rest of the group moves in tight.
KITT
There might be another way.
Everybody looks at her.
KITT
I come from Squire's End. I grew up with the Down City Crews. Most of them respect honor and the ones that don't, won't fight the majority.
ARTHA
What's your plan?
KITT
We have have to go before the council...and challenge them to a race...a no battle gear race.
ARTHA
I like it. An example to the city!
PARMON
I don't like it. You heard Sentrus, racing is canceled. A race right now is against the rules.
KITT
This is a race to make NEW rules! The crews want to race again just as much as we do.
LANCE
I like it!
PARMON
I still don't like it. What about Dragon City Security? They'll certainly stop it in its tracks.
KITT
If nobody's fighting, what's to stop?
ARTHA
Yeah! We'll show the whole city that we can race clean and mean!
LANCE
YEAH!
PARMON
But Phistus and the Crews will surely pound us if we show our faces.
KITT
It's our only chance.
PARMON
You have an answer for everything don't you?
KITT
Of course I do.
INT. DOWN CITY CREW COUNCIL -- NIGHT
PHISTUS and the council are in tense session.
MOORDRYD
Like I said. I didn't start it!
KHATAH
That's half the story, Paynn.
ARTHA enters the chamber. The room falls silent.
ARTHA
Wanna hear the other half?
Behind him walks KITT, PARMON and LANCE. ARTHA locks eyes with MOORDRYD. ARTHA then looks over the assembled crew leaders, they're not happy to see him.
ARTHA
Leaders of the Council of twelve. I come before you to apologize for my actions on the track.
Murmurs. MOORDRYD rolls his eyes and looks away.
MOORDRYD
Don't listen to him! He's responsible for all of this...It was his plan to...
KITT
To what Paynn? Put you into the Academy?
More murmurs, the crowd is confused, growing divided.
ARTHA
We all race to get a chance for the Academy training, for a chance to battle for Dragon City in the Elite Class...it was never my intention to take that away from us. Together, we can get that chance back!
More murmurs.
ARTHA
I propose a race, no mag moves, no attack gear, just speed and maneuvering...skill on skill...something the Academy will be amazed by...something the fans of racing will cheer for!
PHISTUS
Yes. I see the strength of your plan young Penn.
MOORDRYD
I can't believe you're letting him trick you again!
PHISTUS
SILENCE! It will look good to both the Academy and Dragon City Security if the Down City Crews can solve this matter on our own. WE NEED TO RACE! I support it! Who shall stand with me.
KHATAH, PYRRAH, CHUTE and MARIANIS quickly take PHISTUS' side. Then, others break ranks, finally leaving MOORDRYD alone.
MOORDRYD
(sotto)
Scales!
(light bulb goes off)
Very well. I agree!
Cheers fill the chamber as CAIN leans in behind his leader.
CAIN
What are you doing? This will give the stable brat a second chance...
MOORDRYD
Not if I can cause another huge battle on the track. Battle gear or no battle gear, this race may start but it will never be finished!
PAYNN WIPE TO:
EXT. ON THE TRACK (VARIOUS RE-USE) -- DAY
From a distance, a graceful race in progress, using white aero, red thruster, white sledding, blue turning and white rappel gear and the like for amazing acrobatics.
P.O.V. RACERS -- CONTINUOUS
We're part of the field as we slide up the side of a building with sledding gear, fire turning gear into a support structure whipping around it and then use aero and thruster gear to soar over a huge jump, doing a 360 barrel roll in the process! WOW!
EXT. ROADWAY (RE-USE) -- CONTINUOUS
A small crowd gathers at the edge to watch the show as the field goes by in silhouette. The crowd is totally captivated!
BYSTANDER
LOOK! Racing's illegal! Somebody call Dragon City Security!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF DECEPSHUN -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD smiles and looks back. On his saddle, four glowing orange pods. CAIN pops into the view screen.
CAIN
Careful with those orange mind pods Moordryd. You want a lotta of real estate behind you when you set those puppies off. They make people and dragons act pretty crazy!
MOORDRYD
Don't worry Cain. I'll know exactly when...
He takes out his amulet and the eyes of ARMEGGADDON appear.
ARMEGGADDON
On my signal.
To the side, a WRAITH DRAGON hisses in and out of sight.
INT. WORD'S CITADEL -- CONTINUOUS
WORD overhears the conversation on his monitor and sees the eyes. The view screens change to a blipping map!
WORD
Meddlesome fool! I have you now!
He throws a control switch and rising into frame, his huge dragon ABANDONN!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF DECEPSHUN -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD loops past us, the background spinning in 360s as he deploys three of the mind pods! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! They go off behind him like depth charges!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF BEAU -- CONTINUOUS
PARMON
ARTHA LOOKOUT! According to my instruments, megadracs of orange draconium! Oh no! Orange mind pods! One hit from those and it's pure chaos!
ARTHA
No going around, Parm! I'll just have to mix things up a little and hope it tastes good!
ARTHA pulls BEAU into a 360 roll and turns one thruster up and the other down. He then extends his aero gear and fires! He spins like at top at supersonic speed! BEAU and ARTHA cut through and disperse the cloud as they blast through it!
EXT. ON THE TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
The racers land on solid ground as their eyes take on an orange haze! The crews immediately go into crazed attack mode!
WULPH fires thrusters at MARIANIS.
PYRRAH fires a white rappel hook into VOCIFEROUS dragging him down.
PHISTUS drags CHUTE and KHATAH off their dragons.
EXT. PRECINCT -- CONTINUOUS
Alarms blare and a phalanx of security forces deploy and race for Mid City.
EXT. PENN CREW AREA -- CONTINUOUS
LANCE
They're fighting!
KITT
And Moordryd is getting away!
ARTHA
I think I'll drop him a line.
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD flees down a lower roadway as ARTHA swoops from the sky above!
P.O.V. ARTHA -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA catches up with PAYNN.
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA fires his rappel lines and catches MOORDRYD and reels him in!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF DECEPSHUN -- CONTINUOUS
MOORDRYD
WHAT?
MOORDRYD spins and powers up his mag claw!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF BEAU -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA wags his index finger.
ARTHA
Nuh, uh, uh! No mag moves!
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
BEAU fires his blue turning gear onto DECEPSHUN. The gear remotely fires into an overhead bridge and yanks MOORDRYD and the dragon up! They are wrapped up like window blinds, MOORDRYD'S hands are trapped!
EXT. ON THE BACK OF DECEPSHUN -- CONTINUOUS
The glowing eyes fire up before the straining MOORDRYD.
ARMEGGADDON
No need to struggle. You have won your Academy spot and Artha Penn looks even guiltier for having attacked you.
EXT. WASTELANDS -- CONTINUOUS
We pan up to reveal the foreboding shape of ARMEGGADDON!
ARMEGGADDON
Everything has proceeded exactly as I planned.
A huge shadow rises up behind him. It is DRAKKUS on ABANDONN!
DRAKKUS
Ahem, there has been a slight change in plans. Who are you? You are not of this time. What is your business with my son?
DRAKKUS mag claws a barrage at him. ARMEGGADDON'S body spikes deploy and he does an amazing dodge routine. He fires back from his hands, DRAKKUS is knocked back.
ARMEGGADDON
So, you do care after all...your weakness!
Now, all of ARMEGGADDON'S body spikes charge with energy and he leaps at DRAKKUS who meets him mid air. They exchange martial arts blow after blow but DRAKKUS is being knocked back! ABANDONN shudders, energy warnings go off on his saddle. WORD reacts quickly and in a cloud of light green energy, he is gone!
ARMEGGADDON
Very impressive. The ancient mag escape. Till we meet again my new friend.
EXT. ON THE BACK OF BEAU -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA races for the melee when PARMON comes up on the display.
PARMON
ARTHA, it's too late! I've intercepted a Dragon City Security bulletin. A large force is on it's way to arrest all racers. They're coming in from the north!
EXT. ROADWAY (RE-USE) -- CONTINUOUS
From behind, FAIER and his men race towards the brawl.
FADE OUT:
EPILOGUE ACT FOUR
FADE IN:
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA races into the group and gets between them. BEAU mag blasts them all down! They all have orange eyes.
ARTHA
Everybody stop! Orange draconium is making you fight! Remember the race! The future!
BOOM! Rappel gear knocks him off BEAU. VOCIFEROUS flies in blocking staff deployed!
VOCIFEROUS
YOU'RE TO BLAME FOR THIS!
ARTHA
NOOOO!
He blocks the blows and flies onto BEAU and takes off!

P.O.V. ARTHA -- CONTINUOUS
On one side, PYRRAH coming in fast and hard. BOOM!
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
ARTHA
PYRRAH NO! If we fight, we're all doomed! We have to finish the race!
From the other side, KHATAH and SHOCK-RA jam into him. KHATAH grabs him but ARTHA doesn not fight back.
ARTHA
KHATAH! An Orange mind pod is affecting you! This is the path to the Dragon Human War! Racing must continue! WE ALL HAVE TO STOP FIGHTING! STOP FIGHTING!
The orange slowly drains from KHATAH. He looks around lost at first and then nods! He's back!
WULPH mags over to ARTHA and swings. ARTHA takes three hits but doesn't fight. The color returns to WULPH'S eyes. He blinks.
One by one, the color returns to all of them! They begin to race clean!
MARIANIS
NO MORE FIGHTING!
ARTHA
Race mean, but race clean!
We travel with the group again as they gracefully zoom up buildings and do 360 aerial maneuvers.
EXT. RIGHT BEHIND THEM -- CONTINUOUS
FAIER and his men close in from the side. They ready stun, trapping and penning gear.
CAPTAIN FAIER
On my signal! Take them down! THREE...TWO...
CONNOR and SENTRUS pop up on FAIER'S VIEW SCREEN
CONNOR
WAIT! LISTEN!
CROWD
ALL CITY! ALL CITY! RACE! RACE! RACE!
FAIER and his men slow down and look around.
P.O.V. CAPTAIN FAIER -- CONTINUOUS
A cheering crowd is gathering. Beyond them, the group of racers execute an aerial twist maneuver through a narrow building top like threading a needle!
EXT. RIGHT BEHIND THEM -- CONTINUOUS
CAPTAIN FAIER
Did you see that move? Ahem, I mean uh, GET READY!
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
One by one, the racers fire rappel lines to a cross beam over an upper roadway and swing like a windmill up as the line reels in. They land on the upper track at full speed!
EXT. ROADWAY (RE-USE) -- CONTINUOUS
FAIER pulls up.
CAPTAIN FAIER
Did you see...?
He looks at his men, who are smiling and watching. He sighs.
CAPTAIN FAIER
I know, I know...let them finish.
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK STARTING GATE -- MOMENTS LATER
The field thunders through the finish! The crowd goes wild!
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK SIDE -- MOMENTS LATER
The racers are all gathered smiling and nodding at each other. SENTRUS approaches the group to speak.
SENTRUS
You have put aside your differences and have proven yourselves worthy by honoring the sportsmanship code of Dragon Racing. The Racing Academy has decided young Penn and Paynn may continue to use the mag moves but under control and only on each other until thee rest of you are ready. The power drain will likely be a disadvantage to them anyway. Congratulations! All City Racing is restored!
Everybody screams and jumps with delight. PHISTUS and some of the other crew member bow to ARTHA.
BEAU
ROOOAARRR!
The other dragons bow. The sounds echo across the city.
EXT. ALL CITY TRACK -- CONTINUOUS
And find the ears of the still trapped MOORDRYD PAYNN.
MOORDRYD
Scales!
FADE OUT:

Dragon Booster Episode 34: Slithercorp

Scene: A dragway as a race is in progress, focus on Artha, Kitt and Moordryd...
Artha: (as Moordryd comes up to him and Kitt) Who invited you to this party?
Moordryd: (derisively) No one... I`m crashing it! (sends a magbolt at Artha, who sends it back with a bolt of his own, knocking Moordryd and Descepshun into the wall) Whaa?
Kitt: (as she passes both Artha and Moordyrd) Ladies first! (to Artha)This is an Academy race stableboy, and I need the points as much as you do!

Scene: Kitt activates thruster gear, moves ahead into the lead to the crowd`s cheers, deactivting it when she enters the obstacle course of the track; she avoids the swinging obstacles, but notices a large hole in her path and activates white aerogear to fly over the opening; Artha and Moordryd also leap over, but Moordryd mag-blasts Artha and Beau, causing them to fall into the hole as Moordryd snickers nastily...
Artha: Kitt! (as Beau struggles to hold on) Help! (Kitt and Wyldfyr stop to help, Moordryd races past)
Moordryd: (to Kitt) Enjoy the view, stablebrat! I hear the Academy calling me! (laughs)
Kitt: That`s not the Academy you hear... (activates ramming gear, sends maceball at Moordryd, knocking him off his dragon) It`s my green ramming gear!
Artha: (as Beau loses his grip) Help! Kitt!! (Kitt has Wyldfyr mag onto Beau, saving him and Artha from falling; they then head farther into the obstacle course) Th-thanks for coming back, I owe you one!
Kitt: You owe me more than one, stableboy.
Moordryd: (getting up as Kitt and Artha flash past him) Huh? You`ll pay for this! (gets on his dragon, follows behind them, avoiding obstacles until he sees an opportunity and mag-blasts Kitt and Wyldfyr, holding them in place as a swinging obstacle hits them, knocking them down hard)
Kitt: (dazed from the hit and the fall)Whoa...
Artha: (from ahead, notices Kitt`s fall) Kitt!! (Moordryd chuckles as he passes Kitt; Atha continues to race, as he`s right at the finish and takes first place)

Scene: Pit Row, as an angry Kitt approaches Artha, Parmon, and Lance...
Kitt: Humph... clawed your way back to a win, thanks to me!
Artha: (having the grace to be embarrassed) Uh... yeah... well... ah, yeah.
Moordryd: (snickering as he passes them) Nice race, stablebrats! But have you checked the overall points standings? Kitt`s last place finish officially put her out of the running! (mock sympathy) I`m sorry, no Academy for you this year! (laughs as he leaves; two other racers approach)
Racer 1: Alot of us are in the same saddle, Won. But there is hope - Slithercorp!
Kitt: Slithercorp?
Racer1: A new company that`s training and sponsoring racers directly to the elite class, bypassing the Academy!
Parmon: (sputtering) Oh, what a load of scales! You can`t bypass the Academy, the Academy is where they teach ancient mag-techniques, legends, and lore...
Rider 1: (interrupts) Tha Academy`s a relic of the past! Slithercorp`s got modern scientifically proven training methods and the latest technology!
Kitt: Hmmm...

Scene: A short distance away, Moordryd watches through binocs and listens with interest to the conversation, them comms his father...
Moordryd: Father, do you know anything about some new place called Slithercorp? All the street racers are talking about it.
Word: All you need concern yourself with is getting into the Academy. Is that understood?
Moordryd: Yes, father, but...
Word: But nothing! (ends comm)
Armageddon: Moordryd. I believe your father is somehow involved with this Slithercorp, and it appears he`s pushing you out of his plans.
Moordryd: Perhaps I should keep an eye on him Armagadon... a Dragon Eye! (Moordryd releases a tiny Spydrag, sending it off towards Paynn Tower)

Scene: Penn Stables, Artha and Parmon are stacking crates requiring the both of them to do it - barely...
Artha: (groaning with effort) Uh, Kitt? A little help here? (Kitt, lost in thought, ignores him; grunting in effort, he and Parmon almost lose it, getting a yelp out of Parmon, until Kitt helps enough to save them)
Kitt: I`m always helping you, Artha Penn, and what do I have to show for it?
Artha: Kitt! I`m sorry!
Kitt: You will be sorry after I sign up at Slithercorp!
Artha: Slithercorp? That place is shadier than a wraith-dragon! C`mon, don`t get crazy!
Kit: (very angry now) CRAZY?Maybe I`ll become an elite class racer before you do! (leaves)

Scene: Across from Slithercorp and above, Artha, Parmon, and Lance watch as Kitt enters the building...
Artha: Let`s look around and see what Slithercorp is really up to!

Scene: Kitt racing in an obstacle course, which turns out to be a vid image, with Wyldfyr racing on a treadmill, as someone watches from behind a semi-transparent panel; Meanwhile Artha and crew wander the halls of Slithercorp, until they reach a queue of other racers; a door at the head of the line opens, and a computerized voice says "Next" as the next racer in line enters...
Artha: Huh, looks like their interviewing racers to get in.
Lance: (as he wanders over to a display of mag-gear) Whoa. Check out this totally drac gear!
Parmon: Maybe this place isn`t so bad after all. (a robotic gear rack turns the far corner, and activates what looks like weapons)
Artha: (nervously) Uhhh... you sure about that? (Parmon yelps, and as it approaches them, they are in the lineup; it stops beside them, waits a beat, then deactivates it`s weapons and moves off down another corridor) Stay here! I`m gonna follow it. (follows it down the corridor, hides as another comes from the opposite direction)
Lance: (back where Artha left them) If Artha doesn`t come back soon, you might actually have to get interviewed! (the door opens in front of them, and the computerized voice says "next", to Parmon`s shock; he looks in and sees another mag-rack behind a desk)

Scene: Artha follows the mag-rack into a room and hides as it scans the room; then the door opens and Word Paynn walks in...
Word: (to mag-rack) Progress report?
Mag-rack: (the source of the computerized voice) We have aquired one hundred and six racers. Fifty have been secured and fitted with wraith gear.
Word: Excellent. The adjustments to my transmitter will be complete within the hour. It will alow me to control the entire army. All I needed was the leader. (activates a viewscreen that shows Kitt and Wyldfyr mock racing) Now I have her. First we will capture Dragon Booster, then when he`s out of the way, I`ll unleash my wraith army on the city as phase one of my new Dragon-Human War! (laughs until something behind him falls) Eh? (turns and notices the ventilation cover on the wall is swinging open, after Artha enters it unnoticed) Intruder! Alert security!!

Scene: The interview room, Parmon is seated infront of the desk, with Lance to one side...
Parmon: (nervously) Oh, well, let`s see, I`m great with gear, and have a complete understanding of draconium wave variences and sibilence distortion... why the mag-wave tendancies of a fully geared dragon...
Lance: (to himself as Parmon drones on) It`s like a robot talking to another robot!

Scene: Parmon continues to chatter to the robot as Artha comes bursting into the room behind the robot and dives over the desk onto Parmon`s rolling chair, grabbing Lance on the way...
Lance: Look out! (another robot comes in and mag-blasts Artha who uses the force to move the chair out of the way and mags a piece of gear at the robot, knocking it out of the way into the hallway it came in, followed by their rolling chair; they then take off down a corridor but are confronted by another robot; noticing a wall display of disruptor mines, Lance tosses one towards the robot, then they head off on the opposite direction, finally entering a dark room)
Parmon: Where are we? (activates a light stick, illuminating several wraithgear controlled racers; our heroes freak and take off out of there down some corridors, avoiding robots, finally taking refuge in another room, only to find Kitt and Wyldfyr running the mock-course, suprising her)
Kitt: Huh?
Artha: Kitt?? We need to get you out of here! (Kitt scoffs) This is a front for Word Paynn!
Word: (in the control room behind an opaque window where they can`t see or hear him) Quite right, young Penn... and now it seems you are in quite a lot of trouble too! (picks up his wraith controller)
Kitt: What? I don`t believe it. Your just tring to... (screams as the gear she is wearing activates, revealing it to be modified wraith gear)
Artha: Noooo!!! (Kitt and Wyldfyr are now wraiths; Parmon freaks and Lance takes out another disruptor mine and throws it at Kitt)
Lance: (as he activates it) Take cover! (Kitt snarls as they make their escape; Word enters the room with a robot)
Word: Take her and the others to my citadel and prepare to attack Dragon City!

Scene: Penn Stables, Artha, Lance, Parmon, and Connor...
Artha: So now Word has turned Kitt and the other racers he`s tricked into wraiths!
Connor: To control that many wraiths and wraith dragons requires a stronger transmitter than the one Word has been using.
Parmon: Perhaps he`s improved the transmitter he already has!
Artha: We have to smash it and get Kitt back!
Parmon: Or fry it with orange overload pods!

Scene: Word`s control room in his citadel, Word activates the transmitter, waking his wraiths...
Word: Lead my army into the streets! Spread chaos and destruction... and bring me the Dragon Booster! (the wraiths leave, as Word laughs, while Moordryd`s spydrag watches from above)

Scene: The wraiths leave Word`s citadel; switches to Penn stables, Lance is placing some gear when a bulletin comes over the vid screen...
Reporter: Breaking news! Dragon City Security is advising all citizens to stay indoors, those mysterious wraith dragons now have riders, and they are attacking civillians in the market! (scenes of wraiths from the market, one familliar appears...)
Lance: It`s Kitt!!
Artha: Let`s move! I`ll go to the market as Dragon Booster and handle the wraith army, while you guys sneak into the citadel and deactivate Word`s transmitter!

Scene: The market, as Dragon City Security battles the wraiths...
Captain Fehr: Keep `em back, men! (the wraiths overwhelm them, until Dragon Booster arrives and scatters the wraiths)
Artha/Dragon Booster: Get to safety, Captain Fehr... I`ll take care of this!

Scene: Two wraiths launch ramming balls at Artha, who dodges one and bats the other back, hitting a wraith; two wraiths launch from their saddles knocking Artha from Beau`s back and try to pin him to the ground, but fail to do so for long; Artha gets to his feet, but is confronted by wraith Kitt; Scene switches to Parmon and Lance, as they move through the vent towards Word`s control room...
Parmon: Are you sure this is the same vent that you used last time to get in here?
Lance: Well it sure looks like it! (they move to the end of the vent) See?
Parmon: There`s the transmitter... (gasps) and Word!
Lance: You`ll have to throw the pod, and try to land it on the transmitter! (Parmon activates the gear and throws it near the transmitter, but it malfunctions)
Parmon: Oh dear!

Scene: The market as Artha is confronted by wraith Kitt...
Artha: I don`t want to hurt you, Kitt!

Scene: Two wraiths mag each of Artha`s arms, then two others mag his feet, hauling him into the air spread-eagled, as wraith Kitt gets ready to use her ramming gear...
Artha: (as Kitt is about to fire) Kitt! Noooooooooo!!!(Beau suddenly notices Artha`s predicament, knocks the wraith dragons surrounding him away and leaps down one street level, to Artha`s confusion) Where`re you going, boy? Beau!! (Kitt fires her ramming ball, but misses as Beau mags Artha from the street below) Whoaaaa!!! (wraith Kitt snarls at this) Ohhh, I knew you`d never leave me behind! (comms Parmon) Parm! Did you deactivate the transmitter yet?
Parmon: (flustered) Well, the overload pod wasn`t quite as effective as I thought.
Lance: He means that it overloaded.
Artha: Well then make another more effective pod and meet me outside Word`s citadel!

Scene: An alleyway just outside the citadel...
Lance: (nervously) Artha? (suddenly a hand covers his and Parmon`s mouths from behind, pulling them further into the alley, as wraiths go by the entrance to the alley)
Parmon: So, what`s the plan to get into Word`s citadel with these wraiths everywhere?
Artha: Hmmmm... (suddenly he pulls them out of the alleyway and calls to the wraiths) Hey, guys! Were over here! (the wraiths turn and come towards them)
Parmon: (freaked) If this is the plan to get in, please tell me you have one to get out!
Artha: (nervously) Ah ha ha... I`m still working on that part!

Scene: Interior of the citadel, an energy-barred holding cell contianing out heroes as Word gloats...
Word: Well well well... the stablebrat and his merry band! With you behind bars, it won`t be long before Dragon Booster blunders into my hands! (laughs as the bridge he`s on moves away from the cell, trapping them over an abyss)

Artha: Okay, did you bring the overload pod? (Parmon lifts his helmet, causing Lance to laugh at the state of his hair, as the pod is in his helmet) Love the new look, Parm, but it kinda makes you look shorter! (Lance continues to laugh, Parmon says nothing, miffed)
Parmon: (activates pod, which again overloads itself) Oh! My overload gear... overloaded! I don`t understand! I revamped the ionic coagulator, I reconfigured the energy hypercoil... huh? (as Lance takes the pod from him and goes to the center of the cell, slamming it down hard as he gets there, to Parmon`s utter suprise) Oh, no! (the pod activates, overloading the energy bars, deactivating them) It worked!
Lance: Yeah, it was drac!
Parmon: (seeing the state of the pod) Oh, how`re going to take out Word`s transmitter now? (suddenly an alarm goes off, and the citadel defences start attacking them)
Artha: Hang on! (leaps off the edge with the others, activates his glider pack, lands them safely below; points ahead of him...) Guys! That way!!(They run off out of the cellblock, watched by Moordryd`s spydrag)
Moordryd: (watching on his vid screen) It appears the stablebrats are about to ruin my father`s plan... unless of course I decide to help him. Unleash the Shadow (activates his Shadow Booster armour)

Scene: Artha and crew duck through a door to find...
Parmon: (suprises) Cyrano! (Cyrano, Beau, and Fracshun are fetlocked in the room; Artha hits the wall-mounted release for the fetlocks, freeing the dragons, who go to their riders)
Artha: (to Beau) Good to have you back, Beau. Okay, guys... we have to find a way out of here. (Parmon leans against the far wall, causing a panel to raise up)
Parmon: (suprised) Oh! Uh, look what I found!
Lance: With your butt?
Parmon: Um, yes. Well, oh. It`s just some black draconium mind pods and wraith gear... it`s not much use I`m afraid.
Artha: Wait! That gives me an idea!
Parmon: It does?
Artha: Yes! You`re both going to attack Word`s control platform and destroy the transmitter... but first I`m gonna capture you!
Parmon: Excellent! (suddenly confused) What?
Artha: We`re all going to be under mind control.
Lance: (confused) By Word`s mind pod devices?
Artha: (to Parmon) If you can tune these to Beau`s mag frequency, Word might think we`re under control, which means maybe we can get close enough to him!

Scene: Word`s control room; Word, wraith Kitt and other wraiths as Artha comes in, seemingly having control over Parmon and Lance...
Word: Stablebrats? Under mind control?? (they approach) Perhaps my son has been more useful than I thought. (suddenly, the wraith gear on Artha, Parmon, and Lance shut off and fall away from them) What???

Scene: After the gear falls away, Parmon ans Lance charge towards the control platform, until wraith Kitt fires trapping pods at them, catching them, while Artha makes his move...
Word: Stop him!!! (the other wraiths move towards Artha, but Beau sweeps them off their feet as Artha mags off Beau towards wraith Kitt, who fires her thruster gear at him; Artha fires a mag blast directly at the control pod on wraith Kitt`s chest, damaging it)
Word: NOOOOOO!!!

Scene: The pod sparks, but Kitt remains a wraith; Artha mags back onto Beau`s back, as three other wraiths fire their ramming balls at them, knocking them back and over the edge of the platform, with Beau just barely hanging on; wraith Kitt approaches them...
Artha: Kitt! You`re almost free of the wraith gear! Snap out of it! You can beat the gear! Kitt!! (Kitt screams as she defeats the gear`s hold on her) Kitt! (Kitt gets a hold of herself, looks angrilly at Word and fires her thruster gear at the transmitter, knocking it over, damaging it)
Word: Nooooo!!! (the wraith gear powers down and falls off the other riders, and they come to their senses)
Racer 1: What happened?
Racer 2: I don`t know, but lets get out of here! (the three of them leave quickly)
Artha: Let`s go!
Moordryd/Shadow Booster: Not yet, I`m afraid! (mags off his dragon towards them, Artha mags off to meet him in mid air, where they clash, struggle against each other and separate, but Artha can`t avoid the next magblast, and falls to the floor of the platform; Moordryd fires another magblast at Artha, but misses as Beau mags Artha out of the way and into his saddle)
Artha: (relieved)Thanks, Beau!
Lance: Artha! I have a plan! (holds up another disrupter mine) I had one left from Slithercorp!
Artha: Nice work, bro! (they leave the platform as Moordryd mags back onto his dragon and begins to come after them)
Moordryd: Not so fast, stablebrat! (Lance tosses the mine behind him and Moordryd and his dragon notice it and come to a screaching halt as it goes off in front of them, wrecking the bridge forcing them to just barely make it back to the platform, where Word is lying, coughing) Sorry your plan didn`t work. (offers Word a hand up)
Word: You fought well, Shadow Booster. If only my son showed half your skill!
Moordryd/Shadow Booster: Moordyd deserves a little respect. After all, he`s an important piece in our plan for world domination!
Word: Our plan?
Moordryd: Together, we will be unstoppable!

Scene: The starting block of a race about to be run, Artha and Kitt are among the racers...
Artha: Kitt? I`m sorry for taking you for granted, you always help me out! I`m hoping that if I do get into the Academy, I can bring all of you as part of my crew!
Kitt: You better... you`ll need me there, too! I`m still a faster racer than you!
Artha: We`ll see... (the race starts, and the racers take off - spinning Parmon at the side of the track around in their backwash as they go by...)
Parmon: Whoa, (falls down, dizzy) oh, my!
Lance: (laughing at the new state of Parmon`s hair) Now that`s a hairstyle!

CAIN'S MUTINY
(Night. Dragon Eyes are doing their favorite activity- stealing. Cain is making a bull-class dragon enter the van)
Cain: Argh!
(A dragon roars at him)
Cain: Easy... Easy!
Moordryd: Cain! Stop wasting time! Your award tonight is for excellent service to the Dragon Eyes, not for slowness!
(Cain sighs. The sound of police sirens can be heard and soon the security appears)
Cain: Oh, great! Dragon City Security…! You’ve got a plan Moordryd? … Moordryd?
(Moordryd is racing away)
Cain: MOORDRYD!!!
Cain: Burn claws!
(Blarre and Rancydd are running away. Suddenly the Shadow Booster appears)
Cain: Shadow Booster…
(Moordryd blasts mag balls at fed-locks and frees some dragons that were standing nearby. The stampede rushes at the security)
Cain: Move it! NOW!
(They run off, Cain looks behind suspiciously)
---------------------------
(The crew has escaped. Coershun breaths heavily. Cain, with annoyance building on his face, looks up and sees Moordryd coming to them)
Moordryd: Heh, nice work! You’ve got some dragons.
Cain: Y-You hung us out!
Moordryd: I didn’t have a choice, Cain.
Cain: Of course not… Can’t get caught and loose you shot at the Academy! We’re extendable, right?!
Moordryd: That wasn’t it…!
Cain: You’re saving your own tail while the Shadow Booster saved ours!
Moordryd: Arg! You don’t understand, I’m the-
(Moordryd opens his mouth about to reveal his secret but suddenly stops in mid-sentence and lowers his head. Then with cold fury he glares at his lieutenant. Cain looks surprised by this action )
Moordryd: See you at the Fire Cave tomorrow.
(He speaks slowly, with anger and storms off)
Cain (to himself): Maybe the Shadow Booster needs a crew?
-----------------------------
(We spin off to the Fire Cave. Pyrrah is leading, then Cain, Artha, Moordryd, Wulph, Khata and Phistus)
(Khata jumps using his aero-gear. Lance and Parm are watching the race and pretend to be commentators)
Lance: Great move by Khata!
(Wulph tries to avoid a fire blast but accidentally smashes with Phistus)
Lance: Aww, and there goes Wulph!
(Artha appears on the vid-screen)
Artha: Guys, are you announcing the race or helping me?
(Lance and Parm pretend to hold microphones)
Lance: The young Penn seems upset. Over you Parm?
Parm: Thanks Lance. Good point! I wonder what’s gotten under his scales?
(Artha looks annoyed)
Parm (off-screen): Let’s go to the re-play-
Artha: Not. Funny.
(The wannabe commentators laugh)
Parm: I suggest the most expedient strategy of action is to emulate the course leader until the final heat.
Artha: Huh?
Lance: Follow Pyrrah, she knows the Fire Cave.
(Cain is next to Pyrrah, Artha follows. They prepare their aero-gears. Behind them Moordryd, quite irritated, talks with Armeggaddon)
Moordryd: “Let Cain Race,” you said. And here he is in front of me instead of navigating. What were you thinking?!
Armeggaddon: I was thinking you use Cain to your advantage.
Moordryd: Advantage? But he’s alongside Pyrrah and the Stable Brat!
Armeggaddon: Exactly.
Moordryd: What?
Armeggaddon: You know, what to do.
Moordryd: I guess a little fall won’t hurt him too badly.
(He hides the amulet and charges a mag-blast at Cain. The impact smashes him into Pyrrah and they both are down. Moordryd smiles and keeps on racing. He didn’t notice that his friend is falling into a pool of lava)
Cain: AAARGH!!!
Artha: Cain! Beau, NOW!
(The Stable Boy jumps after his enemy and shots a… white gear that looks like a rope -_-“ It catches Coershuns saddle and they fly inches above the lava)
Artha: Come on Beau, we’re almost there!
(Artha, using his aero-gear, flies to the other side of the gap and tries to pull Cain up)
Artha: Come on boy, pull!
(With effort he manages to pull them up. Cain is slightly surprised)
Artha: Are you okay?
(Cain looks quite embarrassed)
Cain: Just worry about your own scales, STABLE BRAT!
Artha: Huh, you’re welcome. I’d like to stay and chat but I’ve go a race to win.
(Artha storms off. He overtakes all racers)
Artha: Come on, Beau! Hurry!
(The race is over, Moordryd won and Artha is second. Artha is talking with Kitt, Lance and Parm)
Kitt: I can’t believe you saved Cain and still came in second!
(Artha smiles and then sees Cain running. Both Cain and Moordryd glare at each other furiously. Moordryd rises… half of his brow and runs off)
Cain: Did you see that?
(Blarre and Rancydd are standing nearby. Cain comes closer to them)
Cain: So that’s my service to the Dragon Eyes. Pushed around, doing everything he wants so HE can get all the glory! Well he better shows up at my awards party tonight, that’s all I can say.
(He rises a fist)
Cain: He BETTER show up.
-------------------------------------
(We go to the Dragon Eyes compound, loud music is heard. Inside there indeed is a party, with disco light, balloons, cake with candles, people wearing paper crowns, etc. Rancydd is blowing a party trumpet, Cain and Blarre make ‘cheers’ and god I swear, Shane is there too!
Cain looks around, searching for Moordryd. He’s absent.)
(There is a close up of the cake. After a while it is all melted, only half of the candle is lighted.Blarre, disappointed, looks at her watch. Cain, annoyed, drinks something and throws the glass behind. Rancydd, bored, is building a glass pyramid. Even much later, Blarre and Rancydd are sitting on a couch covered with balloons and Cain is pacing impatiently.)
Rancydd: So Cain, you’re Seer of the Dragon Eyes now. How does it feel?
Cain: If I’m a Seer why can’t I see our leader? All Moordryd cares about these days is the Academy!
Rancydd: What happens to us if he makes it in?
Cain: *sigh* You know, maybe it’s time for a new leader? One that won’t leave us behind?
Rancydd: You mean a mutiny?
Cain: Yeah… Yeah, that’s it! But not just any mutiny, CAIN’S MUTINY.
(Blarre and Rancydd look at each other surprised and the smile)
------------------
(We see a classical after-party scenery. Moordryd has a bit of ‘wtf’ look on his face. He tastes the cake)
Moordryd: Ymm. Draconee-yum-bar cake, my favorite.
------------------
(Spin off to the Council of Twelve meeting room. Khata, Phistus, Chute, Shane, Marianis, Dorsul >without his helmet *screams*< Wulph, his lieutenant, Blarre, Cain, Rancydd, Pyrrah, Spynn and Vociferous are gathered around the table)
Cain: So, do we have a deal? Is Cain’s Mutiny in?
Phistus: What you’re asking for is not in the Council of Twelve charter.
Cain: It’s not a Council of Twelve anymore, fist-head. It’s a “Council of Eleven”! Moordryd’s crew is now my crew… and you want him gone just as bad as anybody.
Pyrrah: The city IS heating up… Perhaps they can join us, trial members?
(Everybody is murmuring to each other. Cain is smiling)
Moordryd: A council meeting without me?!
(Paynn Jr. enters, looking rather furious)
Moordryd: What this is all about?
Phistus: Cain’s crew wants to join the council.
Moordryd: I’m- I’m sorry… “Cain’s Crew”? Ahahaha… That’s MY crew!
Cain: Oooh, I though you want to support us Moordryd. A new crew that can help you out against those nasty Wraith Dragons you seem to know. So. Much . About.
Moordryd: You wouldn’t dare…
(Cain just smiles, with a defiant expression)
Phistus: Dare what?
Cain: Oh, nobody knows the Wraith Dragons like you, DO they Moordryd? Like you know exactly where they came from or something.
(*dumdumdum* TENSION!)
--------------------------
(The view of the Penn Stables. Kitt and Artha are brushing their dragons)
Parm: Have you heard? We’ve just received an [*] report about the downcity council-
Lance: Cain and a bunch of Dragon Eyes bailed on Moordryd and started their own crew!
Parm: Without Moordryd’s interference it’s the ideal time for the Dragon Booster to try to reunite the council.
Artha: Or it’s another trick…
------------------------
(Shadow Booster is attacking Pyrrah and Ignith in the Fire Cave)
Shadow Booster: You betrayed Moordryd Paynn!
----------------------------
(It’s time for Vociferous and Spynn. They barely avoid the falling parts of a building that SB blasted)
Shadow Booster: Moordryd is the only one who dares to challenge the real menace- that pitiful Dragon Booster!
---------------------------
(Wulph and his second in command get blasted off their dragons)
Shadow Booster: Fools!!! You mess with Moordryd, you mess with ME!!!
----------------------------
(The Shadow Booster is in a dark alley. Moordryd takes out the amulet and turns to his normal self. Armeggaddon wastes to time to share his opinion with his student)
Armeggaddon: What are you doing? I didn’t authorize this!
Moordryd: Authorize?! Who are you, my Father? It’s always all about you, Armeggaddon!
Armeggaddon: Insolence!!!
Moordryd: ENOUGH! Cain was right about one thing: it’s time for me to act like a leader for a change.
(Evil talking amulet of doom disappears and there is a close up of Moordryd’s ‘Burning Determination of Youth’)
-------------------------
(The Council of Twelve meeting room. Same people are present with an addiction of Dragon Booster)
Dragon Booster: Together we can stop the Shadow Boosters rein of terror and then concentrate on the Wraith Dragons.
Phistus: He’s right! There’s strength in numbers. Like the fingers of a fist.
Wulph: Hmm. The strength and the Shadow Booster. That’s how I see it.
(Murmurs)
Dragon Booster: But… isn’t the purpose of this council that the crews work together?
(Many voices agree)
Shadow Booster: I don’t think so.
(Dragon Booster gets blasted into the wall and falls like a rag doll. Shadow Booster comes to the round table. People are backing down and he turns to his crew members and gives a small mag-blast under their feet making them jump a little)
Shadow Booster: Mwahahaha!
(Voice of the Dragon, Dragon Flares and Army of the Dragon members stand behind Shadow Booster)
Shadow Booster: Even the dragon of legend can’t save your scales this time Dragon Booster!
Phistus: Not in my council!
(Everybody is ready to fight)
Pyrrah: Look around you Phisty- There is NO council!
Shadow Booster: I second that. Meeting adjourned!
(He mags the round table and throws it at his enemies. They break outside through the wall but in mid-air all dragons mag their riders. Shadow Booster is laughing from the tower and suddenly jumps, get magged by Decepshun and starts fight with Artha. They exchange some fancy blasting and they seem equal. The duel is interrupted by sirens of the city security.)
Shadow Booster: Next time it’s over Dragon Looser! Then the whole downcity council will be fighting by my side!
(Moordryd and his new crew run off)
-----------------------
(The Penn Stables. Dragon Booster is coming to his friends, looking beaten up.)
Dragon Booster: Looks like a whole bunch of the council is united all right- united against me.
(Kitt, Lance and Parm look helplessly at each other)
----------------------
(The council. Again.)
Phistus: I’ve called this emergency meeting because I believe that the Shadow Booster is too dangerous-
Moordryd: Maybe for you.
(Moordryd is standing in the doorway, leaning on the wall, looking smooth and sexy >slaps herself<)
Moordryd: I can do what this councils leader can’t- I can stop the Shadow Booster from bothering the downcity crews ever again.
Phistus: Why? Because you’re working with them?
(Cain looks uncertain)
Cain: Are you…?
Moordryd: Let’s just say we’ve got an understanding.
(Murmurs. Phistus has a dumb look on his face)
Moordryd: The Shadow Booster is the only one with the power to stop the real menace- The Dragon Booster.
Phistus: The Dragon Booster has been our ally.
Moordryd: The Dragon Booster hasn’t stopped the Wraith Dragons, has he Cain? Join me and the Shadow Booster will be a stronger ally. Who’s with me?
(Of course the gang of evil joins Moordryd again.)
Moordryd: Sorry fist-head.
(He winks at Phistus)
-------------------------------
(On the street Moordryd is giving a speech to his new crew)
Moordryd: Show no mercy. And when this is all over, a new council will rule the streets of Dragon City. Let’s begin with hunting down the Dragon Booster!
(Everybody run in different directions searching for Artha)
---------------------------
(The meeting room. Phistus, Khata, Marianis, Dorsul Cain, Blarre and Rancydd are present. Phistus sighs)
Cain: I’ll help you.
Phistus: How can you help us?
Cain: Oh, I know Moordryd’s moves better then Moordryd does.
----------------------------
(Dragon Booster is running down the streets. On his vid-screen he sees another presence coming close)
Dragon Booster: I think we’ve got company boy.
(Pyrrah stands in his way)
Dragon Booster: Pyrrah listen to me! You have to stop this craziness!
Pyrrah: I’m about to do that! Sorry Dragon Booster…
(She fires a flare into the sky)
Dragon Booster: We better get out of here Beau.
(They try to run but they are surrounded. Moordryd laughs)
Moordryd: It’s over, Dragon Looser.
(They all attack Artha with different kinds of gear and finally Vociferous binds him a flash-stick. Then the energy-drain whips are used and the mighty heroes fall. Moordryd laughs evilly. With his whip he roughly pulls the dragon Booster closer to him)
Moordryd: It’s over, Dragon Booster. You’re energy is almost gone and finally, the dragon of legend is mine. Full power drain NOW!
(Artha screams. Wulph looks at his screen and sees 3 intruders. Mutely his give signs to his companion)
-----------------------------------
(Penn crew is running to the rescue but the way is blocked by the two Army of the dragon members)
Kitt: What a shock- the Army of the Dragon changed sides again.
(Wulph uses a green trapping gear and traps Wyldfyr. With a scream Kitt off her dragon straight into… Cain’s arms)
Kitt: Cain…?
Cain: Ah, looked like you could use a hand, Kitt Wonn.
Lance: Cain’s on our side?!
Phistus: So are we!
(The ‘good’ side of the council is standing in a alleyway, ready to fight)
Wulph: Huh?
(The Army of the Dragon backs down)
Cain: Okay, let’s crash this party.
(They all run off to save the Dragon Booster)
--------------------------
(Back to Moordryd. Artha is lying motionlessly.)
Moordryd: The Dragon Booster’s armor- it’s drained! Finally I get to see who you really are. Almost there… almost-
(A shuriken cuts off his whip)
Moordryd: What?
(The rescue team is there)
Cain: ‘Almost’ only counts in dragon shoes. [I have no idea what that means -_-]
Moordryd: CAIN! You’ll pay for that!
(Decepshun mags him. Both teams are now facing each other)
Phistus: Your move, Paynn!
(Moordryd just smiles and starts the fight. There is some battle animation from ‘The Mechanist’. Cain is fight versus Moordryd, Phistus vs Vociferous and later Wulph, and Marianis vs Spynn)
(Artha regains consciousness and sees everybody fighting above him. He turns to his dragon)
Dragon Booster: Beau… Give all you’ve got boy…
(Beau concentrates and the star on his head starts to glow)
Dragon Booster: … Yeah… That’s it boy!
(Beau stands up, mags his rider and gives a mighty roar. The a golden mag dome appears around him. Everybody is blasted back to their saddles. Moordryd runs off and Cain follows him )
(The crews are again acing each other, ready to start another battle. The Dragon Booster is standing between them)
Dragon Booster: STOP THIS! We’ve fought together before!
(His words catch Pyrrah’s attention. Artha turns to the rebel crews)
Dragon Booster: You know I’m on your side.
Phistus: Listen to him! We are tearing this council apart, for what!?! We are supposed to keep peace between crews. NOT FIGHT!
(Artha looks at Pyrrah and her face softens)
Pyrrah: They’re right.
(Dragon Booster smiles)
Pyrrah: Where is Moordryd Paynn anyway? He turned tail the minute the heat was on.
Khata: And if he gets into Academy, do you actually think he cares what happens to the Council of Twelve?
(Everybody agree and Beau gives his trademark mighty road)
---------------------------
(Spin off to Moordryd. He’s about to transform into Shadow Booster but suddenly Cain appears)
Cain: What are you up to now, huh? Abandoning your new crew like you abandoned ME?
Moordryd: I didn’t abandon you… I just couldn’t tell you.
Cain: I thought we were FRIENDS! Couldn’t tell me what?!
(For a moment Moordryd looks lost and not sure what to do but Cain’s gaze is intense. He finally breaks and shows him the amulet and then transforms into his sinister ego)
Moordryd: Unleash the Shadow!
(During the change Cain looks rather terrified)
Shadow Booster: Now you understand why I missed your party?
(Unexpectedly, Cain smiles widely with eyes full of amazement. Moordryd comes near him)
Shadow Booster: Come on, let’s get out of here. We have work to do. And remember Cain: if I get into the Academy, some of my crew goes with me.
(He puts a hand on his friends shoulder and Cain looks happy)
------------------------------------
(Another party at the Dragon Eyes Headquarters. This time all the crew seems to have fun, Cain is eating lots of Draconeeyum-cake. In more gloomy background stand Moordryd, listening to Armeggaddons ranting)
Armeggaddon: How dare you disobey me! How dare you risking everything by exposing your identify to him! A NOBODY!
Moordryd: He’s not a nobody- he’s my FRIEND. And I have a party to go to.
Armeggaddon: Arrrgh…
(Moordryd drops the amulet on the floor)
Cain: You’re eating or what?
Moordryd: Any more Draconeebar-cake left?
(Cain, with mouth full, nods and Moordryd gives his sweetest smile ever! The amulet lies behind, glowing balefully)

Battle For The Ages, Dragon Booster Episode 38
Scene: An Academy qualification race is under way, three racers come into view - Moordyrd, Marianus, and Khata are racing along in the bright sunlight of Mid-City; they make a leap and are airborne as Artha, Parmon, Kitt, and Lance watch the action from the raceway`s vid-screen...
Parmon: You look nervous, Artha. Why?
Kitt: Because the next race is the finals, professer!
Lance: (as he balances on his magboard being magged by Fracshun) It comes down to this! Last race of the season, and Artha Penn is still behind Moordryd in overall points! (mock announcer voice)
Kitt: Well, he`s got no chance unless he can use his magboard!
Artha: Uh, hello!? Can you not talk about me like I`m not here?
Lance: (puts his hand to one ear) You hear something? Is... someone there? (Artha merely shakes his head in disgust)

Scene: Back with the racers, Marianus is in the lead, Moordryd second, Khata third; their leap has taken them from the bright light of Mid-City to the near dark of Down City; they activate sledding gear and land on a near vertical section of track, picking up speed and having to avoid static obstacles along the way; Moordryd mags off his dragon, using his magboard to buzz Marianus, distracting her and almost causing her to lose control; she recovers and fires blue star gear at Moordryd, but he dodges easily...
Moordryd: Ha hah! Too slow, Marianus! You`re just a Dragonfish out of water against me!
Scene: Marianus fires more star gear, but continues to miss Moordryd - but almost hitting Khata, causing him to lose control, hit an obstacle, and crash through a barrier over the side of the track, which is now outside the city walls, high over an open section of the wastelands; he deploys his chute gear to save himself, but is out of the race...
Armeggaddon: (as Moordryd chuckles at Khata`a predicament) Moordryd... use the mag-attacks I taught you.
Moordryd: (suprised) I can`t! If I get caught, I`ll lose my chance at the Academy!
Armeggaddon: Nobody will see you!
Moordryd: I`m already in the lead, what`s the point?
Armeggaddon: (getting angry) It is part of your training, to show no mercy to your enemies! And because I command it! (causes the amulet to overheat, burning Moordryd`s fingers)
Moordyd: Ow! (shakes fingers to cool them)

Scene: Marianus zooms by, flashing Moordryd the L for loser sign; angry, he mag-blasts her dragon`s right front sledding ski, knocking it off; her dragon loses control and they hit an obstacle, causing them to fall into a heap on the track; Moordryd goes on and wins the race.
Moordryd: Oh, yeah!! (he deploys Decepshun`s chute, bringing them to a triumphant stop)
Armeggaddon: Much better. Perhaps next time you will not question my instructions.
Moordyd: (grumbles) Yeah, whatever.

Scene: The sideline of the track where Artha, Beau, and crew are waiting; Artha looks at his magboard, and sighs nervously, as his father walks up to him...
Connor: Listen... you have more than enough skill and training to win this race! Even if you don`t use your magboard! And you know that!
Artha: Thanks, dad, it`s just... oh, this is it! The final elimination race!
Race Marshal Budge: (over P.A.) ATTENTION FINAL RACERS! REPORT TO THE STARTING GATE!

Scene: Artha gets on Beau and puts his racing helmet on...
Parmon: Good luck, Artha!
Kitt: Scrape scales, stableboy!
Lance: Yeah!! Kick butt!!!

Scene: The starting block as the race begins; Artha is racing against Vociferous, Whulf, and Moordryd; shortly out of the blocks, Vociferous rams Beau and Artha - and they trade rams, then Moordryd calls out mockingly to Artha...
Moordryd: Arrrthaaaaa... (fires a dragbox at Artha)
Parmon: Dragbox!

Scene: Artha sees the dragbox and mags it out of his way, and it strikes Vociferous causing him to lose control and fall over into a heap with his dragon; Moordryd now leads, followed by Whulf, then Artha as they make the leap down to the dark Worktown section of track, picking up speed as they avoid the obstacles; after this, Whulf fires energy draining gear at Decepshun, painfully draining her of power; Moordryd mags off onto his magboard and rides along the draining gear`s tendril, snapping it; he then magblasts Whulf, knocking him down and out of the race, magging back onto Decepshun`s saddle and looking back to see Whulf`s predicament - only to see Artha and Beau leap effortlessly over Whulf; Artha uses his white rappel gear at an overhead track support to sling them over and back under, then firing Beau`s red thruster gear for a burst of speed, catching up to Moordyd...
Artha: Sorry guy, gotta fly! (mock-salutes as he passes by; angered, Moordryd magblasts Beau`s right front sledding ski, but doesn`t knock it off, just loose...)
Artha: What? (Artha notices and mags the ski, getting it back under control; Beau thanks him in his own way) You`re welcome, boy!

Scene: Moordryd comes up alongside Artha and rams them, pushing them towards the track`s edge barrier; Parmon watches them from a vidscreen...
Parmon: Uh, Artha? Your velocity is exceeded your safety margin... you must deploy the chute gear for an emergency stop!
Artha: No way, Parm! (to Beau) Now, boy!!

Scene: Artha magchannels a blast at the wall, pushing himself and Beau up and over Moordryd and Decepshun, landing on the otherside of them...
Moordryd: Nooo!! (he activates his thruster gear, cushioning his striking of the wall, keeping him in control and on the track)

Scene: The side of the starting track where Parmon, Kitt, Connor, and Lance are watching the race on the race screen, as a slo-mo replay of Artha`a last move is being shown, to the delight of the crowd...
Parmon: Amazing!! That magchannel was nearly a total mag inversion! (low, awed voice) Like bending the laws of gravity!
Kit: Wha, he`s gonna win this thing! (Connor and Lance watch with pride)

Scene: The control room of Word Paynn, as word watches the race on his vid screen...
Word: Not on my watch, Penn. The Academy spot belongs to my son! (activates two wraith dragons that are near the track) Wraith dragons, move in. Stop him!

Scene: Offside of the track, the wraiths scan for their target, finding him as the racers approach; they charge forward but are stopped cold by a mag blast from Armeggaddon, who is watching the racers from above the track...
Armeggaddon: Not today I`m afraid, young one... not ever!! This race shall be your last!

Scene: The raceside where Parmon, Kitt, Lance, and Connor are watching; Parmon contacts Artha with some news...
Parmon: Artha! I`m reading two wraith dragons to your right! They... well... wait! How odd... oh, well they`ve been drained of energy and frozen by some kind of force, it`s (gasps) its a huge concentration of black draconium! It`s like...

Scene: Parmon is interupted by Connor who grasps his head in agony, moaning as images from the Dragon-Human war flash in his head, ending with a vision of Armeggaddon`s burning eyes, the same as before his confrontation of Drakkus...
Lance: (scared) Dad!
Connor: I`m all right, but I must go! Artha could be in danger! (runs off)

Scene: Switches to Word`s control room as he angrilly sees his frozen wraiths...
Word: What? My wraith dragons! (pushes controls, trying to get them to move) What is... (grabs his head as he experiences the same pain and visions as Connor) AGAIN!! YOU!! Whatever you are, it is time we meet again... for the last time!!

Scene: Back at the race, as Moordryd approaches another set of static obstacles, he activates his thruster gear for more speed...
Moordryd: Come on! Move!!
Armeggaddon: Moordryd. Not too fast, my young student. Your chance for the Academy is safe. I will see to that... personally.

Scene: The temple far below Penn Stables, Connor faces a section of wall that pulls back and a section of floor moves aside, out of which rises his Dragon Priest armour; after donning his armour, as Mortis, he moves to another section of wall which opens and reveils his gigantic dragon; Scene switches to Word`s control room, Word presses a control and a glass case rises up from below the floor, revealing his Drakkus battle armour, then another platform rises with his dragon Abbandon on board. Scene then switches back to the race, Armeggadon is walking along the track as Artha appears in the distance; Armeggaddon then gathers a huge amount of drag energy, forming an energy dome, which he then explodes outward towards Artha and Beau...
Artha: (as the dome forms) What? (it explodes outward towards him instantly, catching them off guard) Look out, Beau!!! (the blast knocks them off the track and over the edge; Artha then activates Beau`s chute gear) So much for the race!

Scene: The point of the track where Artha and Beau went through the barrier, Armeggaddon stands as Moordryd comes to a stop beside him...
Moordryd: I could have won this race without you knocking the stablebrat out of the picture for me!
Armeggaddon: You should be thanking me!! Soon he will be out of the picture for good!
Moordryd: (shocked) Wha? What do you mean? There`s no need to destroy him...
Armeggaddon: (interupts angrilly) SILENCE, YOUNG FOOL! You have your plans and I have mine! (gathers a ball of mag energy and fires it at Artha and Beau, separating them and destroying their chute gear)
Moordryd: (horrified) No!
Artha: Aaaaaaaaaaaa...!

Scene: The crowd gasps as they see Artha fall...
Lance:No!
Kitt: Artha!
Parmon: (using comm) Artha! Come in! Artha! (screen goes to static)

Scene: Artha and Beau are falling, but Beau mags Artha back into his saddle...
Artha: Whoever this guy is, he`s really beginning to scrape my scales! (unites amulet with gauntlet) release the dragon! (Beau transforms and they glide to safety)

Scene: The wasteland far below the racetrack, Mortis and his dragon stop as Parmon tries to contact them, but his signal breaks...
Parmon: ###Artha attacked##by some####black draconium force! ###I`m afraid he`s##crashed! (his comm signal dies completely)
Mortis/Connor: Artha!! NOOOOOOOO!!!

Scene: Artha as Dragon Booster and Beau land back on the track just ahead of Moordryd and transform back before he can see them; Moordryd is shocked to find them alive and still racing...
Moordryd: What? (he comes up alongside them) You`re alive!
Artha: Didja miss us?
Moordryd: Penn! Listen to me! You`re in danger! There`s an evil force out to destroy you! You have to stop racing now! Do you hear me?? Stop now, or you will be destroyed!!
Artha: I need that spot in the Academy as much as you do, Paynn! I`m gonna take my chances! (Moordryd can only watch speechless as Artha activates thruster gear, once more taking the lead)

Scene: The wasteland below the track, Drakkus/Word and Abbanddon are on a slight rise, Word is tracking Armeggaddon`s mag signature...
Word: I have you now!!

Scene: The race track as Artha and Moordryd continue racing, panning down to see the track from ground level far below, Armeggaddon watches with some suprise from the top of a hill...
Armeggaddon: What!? He still breathes! (contacts Moordryd) Moordryd! Drop back. You will not survive my attack if you are too close!
Moordryd: (holding his amulet) I can get into the Academy on my own, without your cheating!
Armeggaddon: WEAK FOOL! Do you really care what happens to that stable dweller? (a loud noise behind him as Abbanddon lands behind him)
Word: We meet again! (Armeggaddon merely chuckles and gathers his mag energy) How can you possibly channel enough draconium power to fight me, when you have no dragon?
Armeggaddon: You`re right. I don`t have one... I have many dragons!

Scene: Suddenly eight dragons, four on each side, come out from behind the hill Armeggaddon is standing on - eight pure black draconium dragons; the dragons all chanel their power into Armeggaddon, who unleashes the full force in a mag blast that knocks Drakkus and Abbanddon back and into a nearby cliffside...
Armeggaddon: All too easy. (suddenly, from above where Drakkus has fallen...)
Mortis: We shall see about that!

Scene: Mortis` dragon leaps down to the ground, and Mortis gathers mag energy and blasts Armeggaddon from his hilltop, knocking him to the ground a small distance behind it.
Drakkus: Yes, Mortis! Together we can finish him!!

Scene: As Armeggaddon gets up, his dragons channel their energy to him, levitating him up into the air, where he begins to spin rapidly, firing off bolts of mag energy in every direction...
Mortis: Mag fury!!

Scene: Mortis and Drakkus take cover behind an outcrop of rock as the mag bolts strike the other side, as well as bolts heading up towards the racway as Artha and Moordryd approach unaware; two bolts hit the track from below in front of them, collapsing a section just as they arrive and can`t avoid falling through and begin to fall to the ground far below; Meanwhile below, Armeggaddon is still firing while Mortis and Drakkus are behind cover...
Mortis: Only a warrior from the original Dragon-Human war could wield such power, but where could he have come from?
Drakkus: Sh-shadow track!
Mortis: Yes! The legendary Armeggaddon and the Dragon League of Eight!
Drakkus: But those black draconium dragons have no bonemarks! The League of Eight remains lost!
Mortis: Our advantage then! Perhaps we can pool our collective powers!

Scene: Artha and Moordryd as they fall, Moordryd frantically presses a button on his saddle, but nothing happens...
Artha: Moordryd! Are you okay?
Moordyd: (still pressing button, panicked) My chute gear is damaged! I can`t stop!!
Artha: We can do a mag inversion!
Moordyd: I-I`ve never done one!
Artha: We can do it, Moordryd! We can channel our energy... together!

Scene: Below, as Armeggaddon realizes his attack isn`t working, stops spinning and starts magging nearby large pieces of rubble at Mortis and Drakkus, driving them out from cover...
Armeggaddon: One shall stand... two shall fall!

Scene: Artha and Moordryd get ready to do a mag inversion as the ground is rapidly approaching...
Artha: (to Beau) Now, boy!
Moordryd: Decepshunn... now!

Scene: Beau powers up and Artha powers up, forming a ball of mag energy then Decepshunn powers up, then Moordyd powers up, also forming a ball of mag energy; Artha and Moordyd simultaneously fire the mag energy at the same point out in front of them, and sustain it...
Artha: Ready?? (the ground moves closer) Now!!!

Scene: They both release even more mag energy into their streams, and a bluish energy shield forms around them that when they strike the ground, absorbs the impact, safely catapulting them away where they land without incident...
Artha and Moordryd: (while airborne) Whoaaaa!
Moordryd: (after they land safely, excited...) We did it!! (they pull up to a stop, where Moordryd notices something a distance ahead) What`s that? (Moordryd gets down and uses his binocs, seeing Mortis, Drakkus, and Armeggaddon battling up ahead) It`s the same combatants from the Shadow Tower, when I fought the Dragon booster for the gauntlet of... (stops in shck as he realizes what he almost said)
Artha: (watching the battle with his binocs, lowers them at this, noticing the gauntlet on Moordryd`s wrist, as it starts to glow slightly despite Moordryd`s attempt to hide it) What? The Black Draconium Gauntlet of Sight! (realizes) You`re the Shadow Booster!
Moordryd: (looking nervous, until he notices Artha is wearing a golden gauntlet that is also glowing slightly and comes to a realization of his own) And that gauntlet make you the Dragon booster, doesn`t it? Doesn`t it!

Scene: Both gauntlets begin glowing brightly and start to pull towards each other...
Moordryd:What`s happening?

Scene: Artha and Moordryd are drawn together until the gauntlets touch, glowing even brighter causing Artha and Moordryd to close their eyes where they are presented with a vision from the Dragon-Human war:
The original Dragon Booster and Shadow Booster, dragonless, at the edge of a cliff over a river of lava and surrounded by a horde of orange dragons; they glance at each other in silent agreement, power up and fight together against the orange dragons.
Back in the present, after the vision, the gauntlets separate - pushing Artha and Moordryd apart...
Moordryd: What does it mean?
Artha: These gauntlets are meant to be used together! The ancient legends say it takes five colours of draconium combines to stop the Drago-Human war!
Moordryd: (not completely convinced)That`s what you say...
Artha: Look! You can either help me, or not! (unites amulet with gauntlet) Release the Dragon! (transforms into Dragon Booster in front of Moordryd)
Moordryd: (getting up from the ground) Unleash the Shadow! (unites his amulet with gauntlet, transforming into Shadow Booster in front of Artha)

Scene: Back at the battle, Armeggaddon is still tossing large pieces of stone at Mortis and Drakkus, who take tuns destroying the projectiles; Armeggaddon then mags the top off the outcrop behind Mortis and Drakkus, dropping it on them; they both combine their energies and form a double mag shield over them, protecting themselves, but the effort drains them...
Armeggaddon: Fools! The moment of destruction is at hand!

Scene: Armeggaddon gathers power and forms a mag vortex swirling around above himself, drawing bits of rubble in, and also drawing Mortis and Drakkus forward as well; they resist the pull, but have to avoid the rubble swirling about...
Mortis: (struggling) His dragons are too strong!
Drakkus: We have to escape! (a loud thud makes him look to one side as the Shadow Booster lands beside him)
Shadow Booster: We aren`t going anywhere!
Dragon Booster: (making a loud thud as he lands beside Mortis) We stand and fight! (the four of them come together as Armeggaddon watches) Let`s do this... as a team!

Scene: All four of them power up and form a large mag shield dome, and then explode it outward, knocking Armeggaddon out of the sky and with his dragons, sending them over a cliff edge a distance away...
Armeggaddon: Noooooooooooo!!!

Scene: The four power down, Shadow Booster and Dragon Booster move away a bit from Mortis and Drakkus...
Drakkus: I have no further business here with you, Mortis.
Mortis: Apparently there are things in this world worth putting aside our differences.
Drakkus: (concedes the point) Not many. (leaves)
Moordryd the ShadowBooster: So you realize we`d both be thrown out of the Academy races if they knew...
Artha the Dragon Booster: ...And not to mention that the street crews would be after me, and Dragoncity Security after you from now on...
Moordryd: ...Well, I guess its... our little secret, then.
Artha: Wanna finish the race?
Moordryd: I`m still ahead in points...!
Artha: Ooohh, just barely!
Moordryd: See you at the final Academy event... (moves off) stablebrat.

Scene: Mortis approaches Artha as Shadow Booster leaves...
Mortis: What was that all about?
Artha: Hope, dad.

Scene: The bottom of a nearby cliff as Armeggaddon and his dragons recover from the blast...
Armeggaddon: So... you traitorous little dragon whelp! I train you, and this is how you repay me? (chuckles) Now you shall feel the full extent of my wrath. I shall resurrect the lost bonemarks of the League of Eight... I shall smash the Academy... and the Dragon Priesthood! I shall rebuild my armies and begin a new Dragon-Human war! and when this one ends... ONLY I, AND MY DRAGONS SHALL REMAIN!!

Scene: Focus in on Armeggaddon`s glowing eyes, then fade to black.

Dragon Booster – ep.39 Damaged Goods
We enter the dragon temple where Artha & the gang are watching dragball on the screen and race marshal budge is speaking on it
Budge: Tune in tomorrow for the biggest event of the all city racing season the dragball elimination challenge! The final battle for the coveted slot in the prestigious dragon city racing academy it’s Paynne VS Penn! One get’s in, one goes home!
We zoom into Artha’s face which has a look of determination on it, we switch to him practicing jumping over obstacles and stuff with a dragball in his arms, Beau mags him but just too soon and Artha crashes into an obstacle, Parmon gives a that’s-gotta-hurt look.
Kitt: I think the machines are set a little to high, even for you stable boy
Artha: yeah well this is everything guys, I have to beat Moordryd or I don’t get into the academy, turn the settings higher!
Parmon: Seriously are you trying to get yourself hurt?
Artha: Guys stop worrying Ive got Kawake’s younger brother Shayyn on my side, he’s the best dragball player since Kawake himself
Parmon: yes but…
Artha: The next level lets go!
Artha starts with training again eyes narrowed with determination, he leaps and jumps and somersaults until...
Artha: Mag me Beau!
Beau mags Artha leaps and throws the dragball into the goal, he lands back on Beau’s saddle and both of them are smiling
Artha: See piece of cake
Beau nods and makes a noise of agreement, suddenly the alarm goes off and the screen comes down showing a blip moving swiftly towards the location of the ancient hall of records
Connor: whoever they are they’re close to the last rumored location of the ancient hall of records!
Artha: Looks like the Dragon Booster needs to go and investigate
Connor: The Dragon Booster needs to practice for tomorrow; besides the draconium readings are not that powerful it could just be some stray dragons or crew members from the Dragon Eyes!
Artha: yeah like Moordryd Paynn & Cain, what if they find bonemarks or worse, Iam going down there!
Connor: Artha! Everything is not a fight some things are more important
Artha: Iam just going to check it out!
We move to see Cain & Moordryd galloping fast on their dragons in the wastelands searching for something, Moordryd is on his screen to his father
Moordryd: Ive been riding for an hour! Where is this hall of records?
Word: The draconium map fragment will let you know when you are close
Moordryd looks at a fragment in his grasp with words on is spelling out what seems to be ‘fharg’
Moordryd: shouldn’t we be practicing for tomorrow’s academy event?
Word: listen to me Moordryd there are things hidden in the history of Dragon City that can make us invincible!
He disconnects and Moordryd gives a somehow repulsed look, then a blip appears on his screen
Moordryd: We have company!
They slam to a halt, Moordryd gives Cain the fragment
Moordryd: Take this get back to the compound we’ll come back later after I deal with our visitor
Cain nods and speeds off, Beau & Dragon Booster appear, Beau growls
Dragon Booster (Artha): Looking for something?
Moordryd: this doesn’t concern you Dragon Boo-boo
Dragon Booster (Artha): What are you looking for down here, the ancient hall of records maybe, some lost bonemarks
Moordryd: what for Iam already more powerful than you!
Dragon Booster (Artha) gives a look of repulsion
Moordryd: Unleash the shadow! He transforms into Shadow Booster, he laughs while transforming
They have a short mag battle
Dragon Booster (Artha): how about a little mag claw competition
Shadow Booster (Moordryd): Why not!
They fight and Dragon Booster wins the first round
Shadow Booster (Moordryd): not bad
He mag blasts and tosses Dragon Booster(Artha) into some rocks and some more rocks fall on top of him, Shadow Booster laughs, a large piece of rubble rests on Dragon Booster’s(Artha’s) chest hurting him, Beau picks it up and places it aside with a mag, Dragon Booster (Artha) gets up and clutches his right side in pain
Dragon Booster (Artha): groans not bad, not bad at all
Shadow Booster (Moordryd): Save your energy for tomorrow stable brat, you’ll need it gallops away laughing
Dragon Booster (Artha) walks towards Beau and Beau looks at him in concern, Dragon Booster (Artha) falls but Beau catches him with his head and pushes him up again
Dragon Booster (Artha): Iam hurt boy, Iam really hurt
Beau gives a sad look and makes a sad noise

Back in Dragon City the Drag Ball Elimination Challenge is about to start
Budge: This is the event you’ve been waiting for Penn VS Paynn in the Academy Dragball Elimination Challenge
Crowd Cheers
Budge: and in attendance today please welcome the Dragon City Racing Academy Dragon Master Akaroy!
The crowd cheer Akaroy’s name, meanwhile at the crew tents Parmon is pacing up and down and Lance and Kitt are standing waiting for Artha who eventually arrives
Parmon: where were you? Your very late!
Artha jumps off Beau’s saddle and immediately clutches his side in pain
Lance: He’s hurt!
Kitt: What happened?
Artha: Groans I got into it with the Shadow Booster he groans again
Lance: What are we gonna do?
Artha: ahhh clutches his chest I don’t think I can do this
Kitt: If you don’t compete they’ll disqualify you!
Artha groans then see’s someone approaching
Artha: Shayyn!
Kawake’s Brother Shayyn arrives on Rumbull
Shayyn: There are paths between every obstacle in life Artha Penn including this one
Back in the arena at the stands Connor and Word are standing at either side of each other, Word gives a shifty look at the Academy Dragon Master & Sentrus and puts on a fake kind voice
Word: Good luck to you Connor
Akaroy looks at Word and give a light smile, Word takes off his nice voice to hiss at Connor
Word: Your son will need it!
Connor sneers

Back at crew tents
Shayyn: adaptation is the way of the Will of the Dragon; you must take what is given you & make the best of it always
Artha: Maybe we should switch tactics!
Shayyn: Switch?
Beau mags Artha onto Rumbull’s saddle and Beau mags Shayyn onto his
Shayyn: yes you ride Rumbull as the blocker & I will ride your dragon as the mag forward!
Parmon: oh now, now I don’t know about this, let’s face facts Shayyn is not a natural goal scorer
Artha: Parm!
Parmon gives a frightened look at Shayyn who is sneering at him
Parmon: Uhh no offense…I think... nice Shayyn!
Shayyn smiles

Artha & Shayyn arrive into the stadium & Moordryd, Cain, Connor & Word are very baffled at the switch in riders
Moordryd: Huh?
Word: What trickery is this?
Connor: What’s going on down there?
Dragball starts
Budge: and here we go! Shayyn & Paynn mag for it
Cain rams into Artha on Rumbull and pins him with entrenching gear, Connor gives a worried look,
Meanwhile Moordryd & Shayyn are still leaping for the dragball Moordryd knocks Shayyn out of the way
Budge: Shayyn blocked by Moordryd Shayyn lands back on Beau’s saddle, Moordryd gets the dragball & kicks it into goal and he scores!
Budge sounds his gong and they go again, Artha charges with Rumbull towards Cain & Cain gets out his blocking staff he leaps and swipes at Artha
Budge: what a move by Cain!
Artha slams to a halt too late into one of the obstacle things and crashes, the crowd plus Akaroy give worries looks, Shayyn is busy running along with Beau with the dragball in his hand and suddenly gets rammed by Cain, Sentrus gives a that’s-gotta-hurt look, Shayyn looses the dragball
Budge: the dragball is loose! Paynn moves in Moordryd whacks it with his blocking staff and it pings off things then he mags and whacks it hard he shoots, he scores! And it’s 2 nothing Dragon Eyes!
Artha: No!
Word smiles at Connor and Connor sneers, Moordryd mags back onto Decepshun and stands balancing on Decepshun’s saddle impressing the crowd
Moordryd: laughs this is too easy!
They wait to start again
Artha: to Shayyn mag switch with me on the toss that aorta surprise them
The dragball shoots up, Moordryd mags upwards to the dragball, Beau quickly mags Artha onto his saddle and Shayyn onto Rumbull’s saddle, Cain gives a shocked look
Budge: What’s this? Penn and Shayyn mag switched!
Artha leaps for the dragball but Cain mags the mag connected to Artha & Beau and Beau drops down and ducks and Artha falls, the crowd gasps & Connor looks concerned, Artha lands perfectly and teeters as his injury is getting to him, Shayyn rams into Coershun & Decepshun breaking Decepshun’s mag to Moordryd & Moordryd falls
Budge: ooooh slamming in by Shayyn!
Artha runs for the dragball
Budge: Penn races for the dragball
Artha grabs the ball & continues to run, Connor watches
Budge: here comes his dragon
Beau comes up behind Artha, Akaroy smiles, Beau mags Artha up
Budge: he mags
Artha tosses the ball into the goal
Budge: he scores! It’s 2 to 1
Kitt, lance and Parmon cheer, Artha leaps for the dragball but Moordryd elbows him hard in his sore place and Artha groans, Moordryd grins, Budge gives a concerned look
Budge: Artha Penn looks hurt!
Connor gives a shocked look
Kitt: covers her mouth oh no!
Both Moordryd & Cain come alongside Artha to ram him but Beau leaps and they ram into each other, Sentrus gives another that’s-gotta-hurt look
Budge: What a trash!
Shayyn runs into Moordryd and Cain and traps them and Artha & Beau escape
Budge: Penn gets free! He’s off, He mags Artha tosses the ball feebly into the goal Penn scores again! Tie game!

They get ready for next round
Cain: Moordryd we gotta change our tactics they’re starting to scrape our scales!
Moordryd: relax Cain Artha Penn is hurt & hurt bad, the stable brat is nearly finished!
Artha leaps for the dragball and Moordryd & Cain charge and so does Shayyn, Decepshun and Coershun run into him, tossing him aside into a pillar, Artha gets the ball and continues to run with Beau but Moordryd & Cain get to him and push and shove into him ramming his injury & Artha looses the dragball, Moordryd mags, leaps and scores, Artha clutches his injury and Connor and Beau give worried looks
Old wrinkly Penn fan: booooooooo
Artha runs with the dragball, Cain shoots his green ramming gear and knocks Artha off his saddle he first holds on with two hands then with one, Connor gives a worried look
Artha: I can’t hold on!
Beau flips Artha back up onto his saddle, Cain whacks the dragball with his blocking staff and Decepshun tail kicks it into the goal
Budge: and at half time the score is Dragon Eyes 4 Penn Stables 2

At crew tents
Artha gets down off Beau and groans
Kitt: you have to stop!
Lance: there’s always next year!
Artha: no! I have to go back out there!
He groans and falls on all fours
Connor: let it go son, it’s over
Artha gives a disappointed look, Budge appears
Budge: Can your son continue Connor?
Both Connor & Artha look at each other
Artha: coughs Yes he can!
Budge: shows a centimeter with his finger Iam this close to ending this match
Parmon: Artha you, you mustn’t Moordryd will keep bashing away at your injury until you can barely walk!
Kawake: Walk!?
Connor: Kawake!
Shayyn: Brother!
Kawake: For centuries the Will of the Dragon crew has always been about moving with the flow of life, taking whatever comes our way, but that does not make us victims for passers, just because I cannot walk doesn’t mean I cannot stand up for what is right! If Artha wants to stand up he should be allowed to stand, if he falls it won’t be because he didn’t try!
Artha: Kawake is right! It doesn’t matter if I win or get into the Academy, it’s that I try!
Both Connor & Kawake smile
Artha: to Shayyn How good are you and Rumbull with aero gear?
Shayyn: heh not to good looks at Rumbull but not to bad either
Artha smiles

Artha & Shayyn arrive back to the arena
Budge: what’s this? Artha Penn & Shayyn have returned from half time with a strange new gear combination!
Camera goes sideways left to show Rumbull wearing white aero gear and 2 pairs of red thruster gear and Beau wearing white aero and red thruster gear as well including white rappel gear
Word: What is the meaning of this? One should mag jump one should block!
Akaroy looks at Sentrus
Sentrus: There is no rule in dragball about gear only mag battle is not allowed, this tactic is risky, most interesting
They start & Moordryd mags and Artha activates the rappel gear and grabs the dragball and pulls it out of reach, Artha mags and Beau opens the grapple and Artha grabs the dragball & passes it to Shayyn, Shayyn notices Cain charging towards him with green ramming gear but Shayyn activates the thrusters and Rumbull jumps and activates the white aero gear and flies over Cain and Cain watches dumbstruck, Shayyn mags and chucks the ball into goal. Meanwhile Artha & Moordryd are still jumping for the ball Artha gets it but Moordryd grabs his leg with the whip and yanks him down forcing him to drop the ball Beau rums forward and catches him and the ball lands on Beau’s saddle and Artha jumps and scores & Moordryd gives an angry look.
Budge: Artha and Shayyn score! And the game is tied again
Kitt, Lance & Parmon cheer
Moordryd: clenches his fist yarrggghh
Meanwhile Word is hidden at the corridor to the crew tents and he puts on his wraith glasses
Word: tied yes, but not for long!
Word takes out his controller and brings in a wraith dragon, They start again & Artha mag jumps for he ball, Cain mags too & Moordryd charges, Beau gasps & Moordryd pins Beau to a structure, Artha reaches for the ball but Cain punches him out the way and grabs it then chucks it to Moordryd and mags off Decepshun and runs to the goal, Cain pins Shayyn, Artha notices Moordryd heading for goal and jumps of his flying board and flies towards Moordryd, Word makes the wraith dragon walk faster & Parm notices the wraith dragon with his binoculars
Parmon: Artha wraith dragon twelve o’clock!
Artha: Huh?
The wraith dragon knocks Artha off his board and Moordryd turns to look
Moordryd: Wraith dragons!
Artha lands on Moordryd and the ball rolls on the floor, Cain grabs the ball and runs and scores
Budge: with second to go the dragon eyes lead 5 to 4

Moordryd is on his COM link to his father
Moordryd: I don’t need your help father, I can finish this myself!
Word: yells what! How dare you, the academy is everything you little …
Moordryd cuts him off
Cain: Moordryd what are you doing take the help!
Moordryd: Iam gonna win this without cheating!
They wait to start Artha hold his injury with a painful expression & looks at Shayyn, Shayyn looks back at him concerned, they both concentrate and give determined looks.
They start & Moordryd mag jumps and so does Artha, Cain charges and so does Shayyn, Cain shoots the ramming ball and Shayyn deflects it & it pings of stuff, Artha gets the ball but so does Moordryd and they have a tug of war, Word makes his wraith dragon charge and it knocks down Beau & Decepshun, Beau is flung haphazardly into a structure & knocked out, both Artha and Moordryd fall, the crowd gasp in disbelief, Shayyn chases Cain and grapples Cain’s saddle and they get wrapped around a structure, Cain shakes his head at Shayyn.
----

The dragball rolls and stops in front of Artha & Moordryd, Artha crawls towards it with determination and grabs it, Connor stands up looking very concerned.
Moordryd: stable brat, stay down, you’re hurt too badly, I can’t stop my father’s wraith dragons, thee really is next year!
Artha ignores Moordryd & grabs the ball and tries to stand u, he gets up then falls and leans against a structure, Akaroy & Sentrus stand up looking very concerned as well, Artha looks out towards the goal and gives a stiff upper lip and starts to limp slowly towards the goal, Moordryd watches in awe then feels the ground thump beside him as the wraith dragon moves slowly towards Artha, Moordryd gives an angry look at his father who is controlling the remote, the wraith dragon charges but Moordryd all of a sudden jumps in and stands in the way of the wraith dragon.
Word: What!
Word swiftly moves the remote aside and the wraith dragon collapses and knocks Moordryd off his feet, the remote sparks and Word yells and drops it, Moordryd looks to see if Artha can make it, Artha gets a pain surge and collapses to the floor and he looks up and whispers softly
Artha: Beau if you can hear me, I need you
Beau starts to move and he jerks awake, Artha is maged slowly upwards, Artha looks slowly around to see Beau maging him and Beau makes grumbling noises as he concentrates the mag and he closes his eyes, Artha smiles fondly and feebly tosses the ball into the goal and scores.
Budge: Penn scores its final! At the end of regulation the game and the academy standings are a tie
Lance: great, now what about overtime?
Beau lowers Artha to the ground and Connor comes and lifts his head and Artha looks to see his brother and friends smiling at him and he smiles back weakly.
At the crew tents Connor is supporting Artha and they see Moordryd, Word and the achademy people coming towards them
Word: furious Look at him, he can’t compete disqualify him!
Sentrus and Akaroy walk towards Artha
Sentrus: such a great competition this year, such worthy students, there will be no overtime! Moordryd gives a ‘What’ look the dragon city racing achademy will make the great exception this year, both Moordryd & Artha will be accepted!
Everyone cheers and Word gives a look of anger, Moordryd slowly walks towards Artha, Artha gives an Iam- not- sure look and Moordryd hold out his hand, Artha smiles and takes his hand and they shake, Moordryd smiles.
Moordryd: congratulations Artha, I guess I’ll see you at the achademy
Artha: smiles you too Moordryd, you too
They both turn to look at the academy glowing and shining like a beacon before them, the screen shimmers and shows text saying ‘to be continued at: Dragon Booster Achademy, screen fades to black
The End
