The ominous shadow dove towards the two fluttering fairies. Great, Melody thought, it never rains but it pours. Now they were going to have to deal with the Night Fury and the two tyrannosaurs. It wasn't bad enough when Jenny and Cristina got knocked out. No, a flying monster had to butt in too!

"Brace yourself, Melody! No one ever faced a Night Fury and lived to tell the tale," Natsuki warned her. Then how does anyone know what a Night Fury is? Melody wondered. She still prepared to fight the strange, shadowy creature that had propelled itself at them. If the dragon frightened Natsuki so much, Melody had every reason to stay focused. At least this once.

The obscure, black dragon flew at an incredible speed, so it was hard to tell what it really looked like. Melody saw that it had enormous bat-shaped wings, a long tail with bat-like fins, four legs, and a broad head. It was roughly the height of a horse (not counting its wings) and 27 feet long, and had a wingspan of a whopping 48 feet.

Natsuki and Melody kept spheres of energy at the ready between their hands, but right when they expected the dragon to attack, it curved and circled around them. That's when they noticed a girl riding on the Night Fury's back!

"Save your friends!" was all the girl shouted before she steered her dragon towards the T-rexes. For a moment the two fairies were dumbfounded, but afterwards they quickly fluttered down. Jenny and Cristina still lay unconsciously on the jungle floor when their friends landed next to them. Natsuki supported Cristina under her shoulder, while Melody did the same for Jenny. They then dragged their friends away from the large dinosaurs that were still trashing close by.

"Who was that girl?" Melody asked. She still found it hard to believe she had actually seen the stranger on the back of the flying black reptile. In fact, she still found it hard to believe said reptile hadn't blasted them like the second T-rex.

"I don't know, but she must be one heck of a bad-ass to ride a Night Fury," Natsuki grunted as she leaned Cristina against a palm tree. Since she was born in Japan (where dragons are sacred), she instantly admired the dragon rider, who had saved them from the carnivores. It also wasn't every day she saw a girl her age mounted on a rare and presumably dangerous dragon.

Meanwhile, the female dragon rider and her Night Fury swooped in on the tyrannosaurs. The first T-rex, which had chased Natsuki from the jungle, gathered its bearings before the other one and stood up on its strong hind legs. Only to be blasted with a purple plasma bolt from the Night Fury's mouth. The dinosaur was sent flying back and roared in pain.

The second tyrannosaur, which had helped the first one after the fairies' attack, had experienced enough pain for one day and decided to leave. It stood up, eyed the other carnivore (even though it was now blind in one eye), carefully peered at the Night Fury, and ran for the hills. Although it helped the first T-rex against the tiny humans, it wasn't going to battle the much more powerful and infamous Night Fury.

The original tyrannosaur couldn't get any angrier, though. It had had it with the puny magical girls and the flying intruder that had blasted it. Insane with anger, it roared at the Night Fury, which zipped past it at the speed of lightning. And with that, it signed its death certificate.

Idiot, the dragon rider thought as she saw the defiant pose of the dinosaur. "Alright Shade, let's give it hell!" she told her Night Fury. Shade replied with a growled nod. It plunged towards the T-rex and fired another purple plasma blast from its mouth before its rider jumped off with deceptive ease. As she fell through the air, she transformed.

The Winx girls spectated the free fall in awe and then surprise when their savior turned into a fairy. Now that she was moving much slower, they could finally see what she looked like. She had long curls that reached midway her back, skin the color of café au lait, and a strong, muscular build. Her chocolate-colored hair was tied in two circular pigtails on top of her head.
