"Who's that?"asked Dodger to Moca quietly still sitting on the dragon.


"Beats me."she answered. Once Albel got to them. He violently picked up the menodix by the tail and threw her aside.


"Off my dragon, maggot!" he snarled. He then turned to the dragon. He snatched the reigns. "I thought I told you to stay in that spot.!"he scolded.


"Hey you jerk!"screamed Dodger as she got back onto her feet. "Whats the big idea! You dont treat a lady like that!"Albel scoffed.


"Shut up." Dodger's ears twitched.


"Why you.....!"she ran towards him. "I'll show you! You dont know you're messing with!" Albel simply held the menodix back by pressing his hand against her head. In a struggle to hit him, Dodger began doing this....windmill kind of movement with her arms and hands formed into fists. "Okay! Put 'em up! Put 'em up!"this sight was so pityful that not even this Black Dragon Brigade soldier could stay angry.


"How pityful!"he laughed throwing his head back. Dodger trembled with anger. Albel soon met the ground as the menodix drop kicked him.


"That'll teach ya!"said Dodger putting her hands on her hips. Albel jumped back up and unsheathed his katana.


"Enough games. You will soon fall to the mercy of Albel the Wicked."


" 'the Wicked' ?" asked Dodger tilting her head to one side. "What's that? Your stage name to a freak show?"she then started laughing. Her laughter continued until she saw Albel's katana stop a few inches from her throat.


"Listen, and listen good, you fool. I am soldier of the Black Dragon Brigade of Airiglpyh. And I expect to be treated with respect!"he pounded her on the head with his fist. Dodger yelped in pain and held her head.


"Ow......."she hissed through her teeth to help overcome the pain. "That hurts..."


"And if I catch you trying to steal my air dragon again, I will slit your throat."he threatened as he hoisted himself onto the beast. Dodger recovered from her pain and stared up at him.


"You mean you fly that thing?"asked the menodix rivitted. Albel's eyes narrowed.


"What's it to you?"


"That's so cool! I wanna ride a dragon too!"she exclaimed excitedly. Albel laughed at her.


"You? You want to ride an air dragon!"he laughed again. "Only dragon brigade soldiers are able to ride one. And they wont let just any maggot become a soldier. Let alone a female."Now Dodger was a bit ticked.


"WHAT?! A woman can do anything as good as any man! That is, if not better!"she crossed her arms. "I bet I could become a soldier no sweat!"this only summoned more laughter from Albel.


"You fool, once the king takes one look at you, you'll be declined. Only a man can be accepted." Dodger blinked.


"Then how come you're a soldier?"she asked. "I bet you all my life savings your king will accept me." Albel glared at her.


"Alright, you little smart ass, if thats the way you want it, get on the dragon."the menodix's eyes dialated.


"Really?"


"Yes! Really, now get on before I change my mind!"


"Alright! Cool!"she turned to Moca. "Hey Moca, feel like a little air travel?"


"Sure, why not?"


"Yay! Just hold one second!"Dodger ran over to a set of bushes a few yards away. She kneeled down and peeked through them. There sat the yellow rabbit trying to catch its breath. She smiled. "Hello there."she greeted quietly.The rabbit jumped startled when it heard her voice. Dodger gently picked it out the bushes. "Dont be frightened. Hey, you're cute!"she snuggled the bunny. It smiled and squealed in delight.


"YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO GET ON THIS DRAGON!"screamed Albel.


"Im sorry!"she ran over to them. Moca was already sitting on the dragon with her legs hung over its side. Dodger climbed on with the rabbit still in her arms. "Okay, Im ready. This is so exciting! An adventure!"Albel rolled his eyes before tugging on the reigns signaling for Blade to take flight. Blade first got a running start before spreading its wings and soaring off into the air. The yellow rabbit was scared so it tightly shut its eyes. The breeze felt so good as it blew back both Dodger and Albel's hair. Dodger noticed the frightened rabbit not wanting to look at its airborne surroundings. She stroked its head to comfort it.
