[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Over in Aquaria, Albel was just arriving. His air dragon gracefully landed and folded its wings back. He leapt off the creature's back and stared upon the large castle. At the sight of him the villagers trembled in fear. What was he doing here?He then turned back to his dragon. "Stay here. I mean it."he ordered before walking up the castle entrance. Before he could get in both guards crossed their spears in front of him.


"Halt! What business do you have here?"asked the one guard. Albel glared at the guard with his ruby colored eyes.


"A message for you queen."he answered. "Step aside before I become angry."he threatened. Both guards quickly cleared the way for him. Hah! It turns out that they were just a couple of cowards. Who do they think they are? Trying to bluff a Black Dragon Brigade soldier. "Bah. I've seen children with more courage than you 2 worms."he said as he entered the castle leaving his air dragon unattended. He didnt have to worry about it. His dragon Blade was very obidient...that is, until a yellow rabbit with green on the tips of its ears hopped by.



"I have an idea."said Dodger as her and Moca stood in the center of Peterny. "Let's go to the north. I hear there's a city called Aquios. You can sell your stuff there."


"I was thinking the same thing."said the retail rabbit.


"Alright!"shouted an excited Dodger pointing out her finger. "We head to the north!"she begn to walk into that direction. Moca didnt follow. She blinked.


"Um.....Dodger, that's east."she corrected.


"Oops, sorry."she came back and headed off in the other direction.


"And thats south."


"Right...."she returned once again then headed in the final direction. "Then its this way."Moca chuckled then followed.


"Its a good thing we're teaming up. Or else you'd be completely lost."


"Yeah, and hungry."added the menodix. Moca laughed.


"Is food all you think about?"


"No."


"Then what else do you think about?"


"Guys." now both started laughing as they headed up the alleyway to the exit of Peterny.


"What kind of guys?"asked Moca. Dodger thought about it for a second.


"Hmm....well, I like the kind of guy who's a got a bit of fire to him. Someone who doesnt let other people push him around. Oh yeah, and with the sexy body."she explained. "What about you?"


"Someone who's sweet and gentle. Not to mention intelligence." Dodger nodded in agreement.


"Yeah, smarts are important."


"Yeah, I cant be with a guy who's plain ol' dumb."


"Not many guys back home in Surferio are intelligent."Now they were entering the Irisa Fields. There was a brick pathway heading all the way up to Aquios. The Irisa Fields had grass, flowers and a few trees here and there. "So if we keep going this way, we'll reach Aquios, right?"


"Yup."said Moca nodding.


"Ya sure?"


"Trust me. I have excellent navigation skills. Aquios is this way."


"Okay then." it was obvious that this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Dodger was almost completely over the whole Roger going on a journey and her not. It felt great. She felt so free. To travel as she pleases. To see places other than her home town. To meet new people. And to eat food, her favorite past time.


"Hey, look over there!" said Moca pointing up ahead. Up ahead was a yellow bouncing ball with a dragon hot on its tail.


"What's that?"asked Dodger. Once the hopping ball got close enough to them it appeared to be not a ball, but a yellow rabbit with green on the tips of its ears. It dashed pass them trying to escape the over sized reptile running after it with its thunderous footsteps. The dragon paid them no mind as it chased after its dinner. Dodger quickly unsheathed her scythes.


"What are you doing?!" asked Moca.


"I gotta help it!"she exclaimed running after them.The dragon ran after the frightened rabbit drooling at the mouth. It was getting closer and closer every second. It stopped when something hit its armor with a loud CLANK! It turned around to see a scythe on the ground and Dodger standing about 10 ft away with her hands on her hips. "Pick on somebody your own size, you big bully!"now she had caught its attention. It parted is wings and flew towards her at full speed. "Im aint scared of you! TAKE THIS!" she threw her other scythe at the beast. This creature was very agile. It with ease dodged the blade coming toward it. The dragon plowed into Dodger knocking her off her feet.


"Dodger, are you okay?!"shouted Moca. Dodger slowly sat up.


"Yeah, Im alright."


"Look out!" screamed Moca pointing up. Dodger looked. The dragon was high up in the air releasing its fiery breath down onto the menodix. Dodger quickly jumped out the way. Moca sighed in relief.


"HAH! You're quick! But Im quicker!"she boasted. The dragon swooped down at her. Dodger smirked. She opened her mouth and let out the most beautiful musical voice ever heard. What was she doing. The dragon was still coming at her.


"Dodger! Move out the way!!"cried Moca. But Dodger didnt listen. She kept singing. Moca covered her eyes. "I cant look!"finally the monster reached Dodger....only he didnt charge into her, but the tree next to her. Dodger finally stopped singing. The dragon recovered but then charged into a bouldar.


"Haha! No one messes with a Huxley!"


"Dodger, what did you do?"asked Moca watching as the dragon contined to crash into objects.


"That is my Deadly Voice attack."she explained. "It causes temporary confusion. It only works on animals though."she turned back to the confused creature. "Now you're mine!" She leapt onto its back. It snapped back into reality when it felt Dodger's weight drop onto it. It snarled as it tried to buck her off. Dodger kept a tight grip on the reigns as the dragon tried to throw her off its back.


"You go, Dodger!"cheered Moca.


"Yeeha!"cried the menodix.


"THAT'S ENOUGH!"screamed a voice. Everyone, even the dragon froze. They all turned to see a very angry Albel coming towards them.
