This is a fanfiction continuation of the discontinued Dragon Booster tv show. If you haven't watched the show, this will probably not make much sense.. I'm putting the story in the description. If you are curious, this art style is called Pointilism and typically looks better when you move further away or shrink the image. The text formatting may not work in description. Enjoy! I will be updating this based upon when I have at least semi-completed a section of the story and the thumbnail will change with it as best I can update it. Comic format will take a lot longer, if I ever get there.



Chapter 1.3
Destiny Awaits


Parmon Sean whispers: "whatever this is, it must be really important!"

Artha: "I don't know, but I'm going to listen to my dad for now. I'll check back with you guys later, okay?"

The other three give him worried looks but nod and he slowly walks away with Beau.

Once Artha was out of earshot, Kit chimes in, "well, I for one am not satisfied with this!" she places her hand on her chest for emphasis. "We're his friends. We can't just let him do whatever this is alone!"

Parmon Sean: "You're right, but we can't just storm in after him. The elevator is easily seen and being sneaky...well, it rarely works out well for us"

Kit: "You have a better idea, professor!?"

Parmon; "as a matter of fact, I do!" and he smiles as he pulls out Mordryd and the Dragon-Eye crew's tracking dragon and its control pad, "With this, we can be silent, see what's happening, and hopefully, get out without being seen" Parmon laughs as he rubs the tiny dragon's chin to gently wake it. It rose with a weak warble and without a moment's hesitation, bit Parmon's finger!

Parmon: "yahoowwwwww!" he waves his finger frantically and blows on it before looking at the tiny dragon, "ehehe, woops, I forgot it was feeding time"

Kit: "what do those things eat anyway?" she moves over and manages to pet it effortlessly as it leans into her strokes with affection, much to Parmon's annoyance.

Parmon: "They'll eat pretty much anything that's edible, so the standard diet is dragon chow...just in much smaller portions. In fact, the genus -scientific name- are well known for their ability to adapt to almost any environment and catching them is no easy feat. Why, pretty much all of the specimens in Dragon City are bred in captivity. It's a fascinating subject, really!"

Kit: "Yeah, yeah, professor, now, will it be able to get into the cave or not!?"

Max: "Yeah, I've never seen dad look like that. It's kind of scary!"

Parmon: "Leave that to me and this little fellow" he tries to stroke its chin again and is met with yet another bite, "note to self...make tracker-dragon-proof gloves" he shakes his head as they watched him handling the dragon and its spy gear with interest.

Elsewhere, Artha and Beau were within the grounds of his father's breeding stables. He looked up at the since-repaired signpost that showed his father enthusiastically smiling and showing approval.

Artha: "it all happened so fast, boy," he places his hand on Beau's shoulder, "What could be so important that dad wants to keep it from everybody else?"

Beau shrugs and grins at him before laughing, though with a growl of his belly, becomes rather quickly distracted as he moves off towards the stables.

Artha: "Hey...always thinking with your stomach, huh?" he laughs and follows him, knowing that it only leads to trouble if he leaves Beau alone.

Overhead, the near silent hum of the tracker-dragon's wings buzzed into place, gliding and flying along to find Artha and Beau.

Way in the distance with the group, Parmon is fiddling with the controls to show the view-screen and control the tracker dragon.

Kit: "you don't think they already got inside, do you?"

Parmon: "Of course not, I just saw them walk into the stable. All we have to do is follow them" he says, having the tracker dragon dive down towards the stable

Kit: "Easy professor, don't crash the poor thing!"

Parmon: "and if they get away!?"

Kit: "fair point..."

The tracking dragon lands on the ceiling with its strong claws and looks down at Artha and Beau.

Kit: "it's hard to believe that they can act this way. They're happy, even playing together" she notes as Artha rubs Beau's back , only to get pushed by the dragon face-first down into the dragon chow before emerging with a glum look on his face as it dripped the soggy material.

Kit: "He used to hate dragons. Dunno why he even hung out near the races..."

Max: "He didn't hate dragons you know...but he was mad at them. Dad became so focused on dragons that mom left us. He'd always say he had a good reason, but he wouldn't say what it was"

Kit: "yeesh, that's sad. He should have just included her and been done with it. Woo, happy family...now, what's Artha doing!?" she almost takes the controller away from Parmon

Artha and Beau entered the secret entrance to the elevator and Dragon Priests Cave as Parmon quickly guided the tracking dragon in unseen.

Parmon: "I still hate this part!" he says as the rapidly flashing golded lights ascended while the elevator descended. He had to cover his mouth as he turned green with nausea!

It was only a few seconds before the elevator arrived in the caves and Artha and Beau stepped out.

Artha: "Wonder where dad is?" he asks as they walk along, both looking about for the enigmatic father figure.

Rather quickly, they found him in his guise and armor of Mortis as he slowly turned towards them.

Mortis: "Dragon Booster!" he states with an intensity the two were not used to since it had been discovered that he was Artha's father and the person who had raised Beau his entire life.

Artha: "Dad...you don't have to put on an act. It's just us."

Mortis: "No...indulge me Artha, for it is not just us!"

From seemingly nowhere, two others garbed in dragon priest attire leaped from the caverns beneath the bridge. They were armed and coming at Artha with hostile intent as they struck with their staves!

Artha, who just barely managed to draw his staff in time to block each blow: "What is this!?" he grunts as rather unexpectedly, a shimmering golden barrier locks Beau away from the four of them.

Beau beats against the barrier but to no avail.

Mortis: "Forgive me, Dragon Booster, but the others must be assured of your conviction. Fight them with all that you have!"

Artha: "What, no! Dad, this is crazy!" he states, deflecting blows but rather suddenly, he is struck in the chin by one of their staves and sent flying to the ground as he skids on the stone surface.

Kit, Parmon, and Max all screaming at the video screen as though someone could hear them: "Artha!"

To be continued...
