Luna was racing with Beau and looking nervous still. She even began to shake the handles. Kitt raced up beside her.

"Luna, you okay?" she asked.

"Not really." Luna answered.

"Well, just calm down. Take a deep breath." Kitt advised.

Luna breathed and calmed. "Any advice for a rookie?" She asked more calmly.

"Yeah, just activate your thruster gear, and go full throttle when near the finish line." Kitt said.

Luna saw the finish line and activated the red thruster gear. Beau sped up and crossed in first place. The crowd cheered as Luna rode Beau up to the podium. Race Marshall Budge handed Luna a trophy.

"Is there any one you'd like to contribute?" he asked.

"Yes. Kitt Wonn, if it wasn't for her advice, I wouldn't have won." Luna said smiling.

From a distance, Kitt heard and smile at the gratefulness in Luna's voice. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Luna call her. "Yes Luna?"

"Since you helped me win the race, I think you deserve the trophy." Luna held the trophy out to Kitt.

Kitt looked ecstatic, but held up her hand. "No Luna, you won the race. The trophy is rightfully yours."

Luna retracted the trophy. "Well, see you around."

"After all the second places, you finally won!" Artha's voice held an echo as they came into the back of the Dragon Temple.

"Though it was very noble of you to give Kitt Wonn gratitude in your victory." Mortis said,

"I thought she deserved some credit for helping me." Luna said.

"A trait of the Dragon Booster is learning to ask and accept help from others. You are grasping at this quite well." Mortis said.

"Thank you." Luna said humbly. She then turned to the elevator's direction. "But I think I'll go finish the reading I been doing before, on the bonemark called the Everlasting fire."

Luna wasn't the only one reading up on the bone mark. In his citadel, Word had just told Moordryd about the Furox.

"So, where is it?" Moordryd asked.

"Its location is Scale Citadel, though 'that' location is unknown."

"So how am I supposed to retrieve it then?"

"The only thing you are to do is get the location from this." Word pressed a button and the book that Luna had appeared on one of the monitors. "This is the Book of Legend. I had thought this book was a mere myth, but it appears to have been found."

"You want me to steal the book to get the location?" Moordryd asked.

"It is not that simple, for I learned that the book can only be read by one person," Word pressed another button and a racer appeared on the monitor, replacing the image of the book, "her, to be precise."

Moordryd was surprised to find that it was Luna, and in all her odd splendor. She had to be odd to get a silver-purple racing helmet and a silver-gold racing jacket. "But that's ..." he found it odd and surprising that he couldn't say her name. Well, first name.

"Luna Lovegood, leader of the new Dragon Claw crew." Word summarized. "And holder of the Book of Legend."

"But, isn't that book supposed to help the Dragon Booster." Moordryd sneered the name. He still couldn't take the Dragon Booster seriously since she was a girl.

"Then that explains why the Dragon Booster has bested you, Lovegood's crew have been helping her." Word said.

"What about the book? Do you want me to steal Lovegood as well?"

"No, I want you to get the information from her."

"How do you know she'll even tell me?"

"I've noticed that this particular racer has seemed to capture your attention, and vice versa."

The teen caught onto the implication, but soundly chose not to comment on that. "Consider it done."

Luna was reading the Book of Legend and brushing Beau's scales. Psyche had gone out to buy food with the race money, and toke the guys to carry the stuff. Luna didn't need to go because she did her work on the race track. Beau was enjoying getting brushed, and was surprised that Luna could both brush him, and read the book.

"Hmm, maybe I should tell Kitt our secret." Luna mused aloud.

Beau snorted in surprise. Why would Luna even think that? And then there's the exposure risk.

Luna seemed to sense Beau's anxiety on the matter. "I think we can trust her."

Beau bowed his head in a nod, ready to trust Luna's instincts. He suddenly looked up and growled. Luna looked too and saw Moordryd and his dragon Decepshun come into the stables.

"Hello Lovegood." Moordryd said.

"Please, call me Luna." she said. "Um, why are you here?"

Well, he certainly wasn't expecting that. He was expecting her to be suspicious, or to tell him off, but not for her to actually greet him nicely. Though now that he thought about it, that wasn't the case with her. He then remembered her offer of friendship she made from before. "I came to see if your offer of friendship was still open."

Beau looked suspiciously at him, though Luna merely smiled. She knew there was more to it, but this was a start. "Really?"

"Really. You see, I don't have many friends. Just cowardly followers." Moordryd snickered.

Luna only smiled. "Well that one thing we have in common." she breathed. She then extended her hand with her genial smile. "So friends?"

The matter of the actual reason he was there was pushed to the back of his back as he toke Luna's hand. "Friends."

Both Luna and Moordryd were in the middle of their conversation when the beeping started on his comm-link, but was ignored.

"So, you don't have a mother either?" Moordryd asked.

"No, an experiment she was doing went wrong, it was awful." Luna replied in a nonchalant voice, but her expression held hidden sorrow.

At that moment the Moordryd's vid-screen appeared with Word's face on it. "Moordryd! Where are you?" he demanded.

"At the Stable-brats." Moordryd replied and the saw look on Luna's face, but before he could add 'with Luna' he was interrupted.

"Did you get it?" Word demanded.

"Uh, no, not yet…I kinda forgot about it." Moordryd admitted.

"Then what could be keeping you?" Word questioned before spotting a girl with long straggly blond hair. "I see now. You are to return immediately." The vid-screen then shut off.

"I have to leave." Moordryd muttered and was magged by his dragon.

"What did you really come here for?" Luna questioned.

The white-haired teen paused before replying. "I…came to get information from you, but…I really do want you to be my friend."

Luna stared at him before she slowly smiled, her own naivety shining through. "Then why didn't you just ask in the first place?"

When Moordryd returned to his father's Citadel, he found a very displeased looking Word, making the teen think that it was either because he'd been being buddy-buddy with Luna, or forgetting the initial objective of seeing the girl.

"It appears I've underestimated your…fascination with this girl." Word said calmly.

"I got the information though." Moordryd replied hastily.

"Oh did you? I thought I heard you say you forgot?" Word said scrutinizing him.

"I did…but, then I just asked her." Moordryd admitted.

"And she just gave you the information?" Word questioned and the teen nodded, making the man stroke his beard in thought. "Well if the little twit could trust you so easily, then I want you to continue to pretend to be her friend."

"I can do that." The teen made sure to keep the glee out of his voice.

"Good, now where is the location of Scale Citadel?"

"Kitt!"

The blue-haired girl looked up at the call of her name and saw a blond girl sprinting up to her. "Yes Luna?"

The girl looked nervous about something. "I have to tell you something, it's very important."

"What is it?" Kitt asked curiously.

Before Luna could reply, another voice interrupted them. "Kitt Wonn?"

The aforementioned girl looked back behind at the approaching redhead. "Hey Pyrrah."

"Hello Kitt." The redhead replied and nodded at the blond. "Luna."

"Pyrrah." Luna nodded back.

"Kitt, would you be interested in being initiated into the Dragon Flares?" The redhead questioned.

"Wow, really?" Kitt asked surprised.

"Yes, though you only need to retrieve one thing and you're in." Pyrrah replied.

"You name it!" Kitt said excitedly and the blond deciding that this wasn't a good time, tapped the blue-haired girl on the shoulder. "Yes Luna?"

"I…I can tell you're busy, so we can talk later." Luna replied before departing and headed back over to Beau, who magged the girl upon seeing her. "Let's go Beau."

The racer and dragon headed back to Penn Stables and Luna finds the rest of her crew all saddling their dragons up. "What's going on?

Psyche looked up from adjusting the saddle on Wayve. "Oh, we're going to get the Furox." She replied.

Luna raised a brow in confusion. "Who said?"

"Me." Artha said proudly.

"Who gave him permission to let him boss us around when you're not here anyway?" Lance whined.

"I did." Luna retorted.

"What? When was this?" Parm asked surprised.

"Right before Luna jousted with Moordryd for the Down City Council." Artha answered.

"Yes, I made Artha my second in command." Luna added.

Psyche looked rather indignant. "But I'm your best friend, why didn't you chose me?"

"Because I felt bad about being made leader over Artha." Luna replied, opting not to tell her friend what she'd really told Artha.

Psyche stared at the girl before shrugging it off and letting her dragon mag her. "What are we waiting for then?"

After the unspoken command was noted, all the dragons magged their riders and ran out of the stables to Scale Citadel.

Parm, being ever the bookish type, asked the most obvious question. "Is it true that you must go through a set of obstacles to get to the Furox?"

"Yes, the book said that, but it also gave the secret passage ways to around it all too." Luna replied smiling.

"That'll make it a lot easier." Lance piped in.

"But I want you, Parm and Lance to head up to the entrance at the top to keep a look out for anyone else that should try and come here, while Artha and Psyche come with me." Luna instructed and she left for the side as Parm and Lance continued up the path to the top.

They stopped at the wall.

"There's no entrance." Psyche deadpanned.

Luna shook her head, her smile widening. "Watch." Luna said pushing on a certain part of the wall and the wall rose up to reveal the secret passage to a long dark tunnel and red draconium lights lit the way. "See?"

"Wow." Artha stated.

"Now let's go." Luna said before they trio went into the tunnel and not long in after they reached a crossroad did Luna's vid-screen pop up to show Parm's frazzled-looking face. "What is it Parm?"

"Someone on a red dragon just went past us unusually fast, I think it was Kitt." Parm replied.

The wheels began turning in Luna's head. "Artha, Psyche! I want you two to keep going, I'll catch up!" she ordered.

"You better!" Psyche shot back as Wayve sped past the girl, Artha following after her.

Luna took the main passage and came across Kitt. "Kitt, stop!"

Kitt pulled back the controls before her dragon crashed into the girl. "Luna, what are you doing in here?"

"I, uh, came here to retrieve the Furox for the Dragon Booster so no one could use its destructive power." Luna explained.

"So you're like her errand girl or something?" Kitt questioned.

Luna smiled nervously. "Not exactly." She said placing her golden amulet onto the gauntlet and she and Beau transformed into their alternate forms. "I am the Dragon Booster."

Kitt stared, and just when it looked like she was about to get angry, her face softened. "Was this what you wanted to tell me?"

Luna nodded. "I couldn't because Pyrrah showed up, though if I knew this is where she'd send you I would have dissuaded you from trying to come here."

"Oh, but, why would you want to tell me?" Kitt questioned.

"Because I trust you, you're my friend after all." Luna replied. "Though I gotta ask, are you going to help me retrieve it or are you going to leave?"

"And miss a chance to work with my idol?" Kitt joked. "Not a chance!"

Luna smiled pleasantly. "Follow me then, there's an opening just up ahead that will lead us to the inner sanctum, Artha and Psyche are waiting for us there."

"So I assume the rest of your crew knows who you are then too?" Kitt asked.

"You assume correctly." Luna quipped.

The duo arrived in the chamber to see a flame-looking object hovering in a pillar and both Psyche and Artha were looking at it with varying degrees of nervously. "About time you got here." Psyche drawled before getting off Wayve and walked over to the pillar.

"No wait." Luna called and Psyche paused.

"What is it?" The girl asked.

"It's too easy." Luna said before pulling out her wand.

"Is that your wand to use magic?" Artha questioned, a hint of excitement in his voice to finally seeing a spell being cast.

"Yes, Wingardium Leviosa." Luna called and the red emblem floated up and both Artha and Kitt watched the spectacle in amazement as the object floated over to Luna. A shot of purple mag energy though caught the object and Luna looked over to see her white-haired friend. "How did you get in here so fast?"

"I followed you all, duh." Moordryd sneered, and for the moment making Luna rather annoyed with him.

"As did I." A red mag stream snatched the red emblem bonemark and Pyrrah caught it in her hand.

"Do you realize what that is!" Psyche shouted incredulously.

"I know it will give me power." Pyrrah retorted and placed the bonemark on Phorjj's forehead and it began to glow, the flare making the dragon look different from how it normally looked as the spirit of the Furox was released.

"This is really bad." Artha commented.

"Well I know what I'm doing, getting out of here!"

Luna watched her white-haired friend flee and turned her attention back to the problem at hand. "What now?"

Kitt looked at her in disbelief. "Don't you have a plan?"

Luna blinked behind her visor. "Uh, oh, yeah." She said absently. "Get that bonemark off the dragon."

"Easier said than done." Psyche said taking off her staff.

"Put that away." Luna said and pulled out her wand again. "Stupefy!" she shouted and a red jet of light hit the red dragon right on the forehead, dislodging the bonemark and it went falling down over the side.

"Well, that was anti-climactic." Psyche deadpanned, feeling slightly disappointed that she didn't get to fight.

"Simple solution, Psyche." Luna replied wisely.

Psyche rolled her eyes and leaned on Wayve's saddle. "Whatever." She muttered.

After sorting out the mess with the Furox and making sure Pyrrah and her dragon was okay, the Dragon Claws had left and at the current time Luna was looking through the Book for more information on any other bonemarks when she heard approaching footsteps and looked up to see Wyldfyr and Kitt. "Hello again."

"Hello." Kitt replied nervously. "Um, you wouldn't happen to have a spot open on your crew for one more would you?"

Luna looked at the blue-haired girl in surprised. "You want to join?"

"Yeah, I admire the Dragon Booster, even if you are a little…strange." Kitt admitted. "But I'd really like to help."

"Great." Luna said smiling and gestured to her dragon. "Meet Beau, the dragon of legend."

"Wow, then I guess if you hadn't jumped off him then everyone would have seen him chose you then." Kitt replied.

"Yeah, I know." Luna replied nodding and she gestured for the blue-haired girl to follow her and they found the rest of the Dragon Claws inside the stables. "Everyone, Kitt will be joining us."

"Really?" Artha asked.

"Yes." Luna nodded.

Artha got up and after giving a glance back at Psyche, who looked like she couldn't care less, so like how she always look, Artha held his hand out to Kitt. "Then welcome to the team Kitt."

Kitt shook the teen's hand. "Thanks Stable-boy, but shouldn't your leader be doing this?" she asked slyly.

Artha sputtered as he pulled his hand back. "Well, uh, er, you see…."

Luna chuckled and patted Artha on the arm. "It's okay, since you're second in command, this sorta counts as being important."
