Stardust roared as the dragons attacked the robots, people below in the streets and in buildings watching in awe. Suddenly, Starstrike hit a robot and it began falling over a crowd. Two young children. The boy let out a scared cry, the girl frozen as she hugged him close.

Flameburst swooped down, grabbing both kids, and dodging the falling robot. The two looked up at him and he gave a dragon smile, setting them down. He launched back into the air with a roar, and the two kids were grabbed by some adults.

"Nice one Flame!" Spitfire said as he and Jordan dodged an attack. Flameburst and Spitfire continued to fight. Above them, Stardust and Christina faced Andrew and his robot.

"Alex!" Christina called. Alexander looked over and Andrew growled.

"Up" Andrew ordered. The robot flew higher beside the C.N tower and Christina growled. Stardust flew after them, Jade and Lilly following. Lotus grumbled, but continued to fight beside Zahira.

"What's he planning?" Stardust growled as they landed on the top of the C.N tower.

"I don't know, but I don't like it" Christina replied, getting off stardust. Andrew dropped Alexander beside him, and Alexander struggled trying to say something. Without warning, the robot tackled stardust off the tower and they fought in the air. "Why're you doing this Andrew!?"

"Dragons are nothing but pests and monsters. I'll kill every last one! For my wife, and nothing will stop me!" Andrew snapped. Alexander finally managed to move the gag.

"IT'S A TRAP. RUN CHRIS!!!!" Alexander shouted, but Andrew got a knife out. He rushed at Christina who ducked under it. She kicked Andrew in the leg.

"I guess those karate lessons the riders have been taking are paying off!" Christina joked to stardust, dodging another attack. She ran to Alexander, but Andrew rammed into her. She barely held onto the tower. Andrew kicked Alexander in the side, hard. Alexander cried in pain.

"How did I get such a worthless boy for a son?" Andrew growled. He grabbed Alexander and walked to the edge of the tower. "you useless pest. Die!"

Andrew threw Alexander off, making Christina gasp, but Jade and Lilly flew up. Jade had Alexander on Lilly's back. Jade stuck her tongue out at Andrew, making Christina giggle a little. Lilly flew down and Andrew furiously stormed to where Christina barely held on. He picked Christina up by her neck, making her whimper.

"This is your fault. If you never spoke to my son, if your dragon hadn't been here, it would've gone perfectly!" Andrew snapped, squeezing her neck tighter which made Christina wheeze. But then Andrew grinned insanely. "But I can at least kill you. Then I'll kill your dragon"

"CHRISTINA!!!" Stardust shouted, but Christina growled.

"If I'm going down, your coming with me!" Christina snapped, grabbing Andrews wrists. He shouted as he lost balance, sending both of them into a free fall.

"CHRISTINA!!!!" Roars went out of her name. They fell passed the fighting.

"CHRIS!!!!" The riders all wailed. Stardust dove, but he wasn't fast enough.

"Christina!" He cried.

"Stardust!" Christina cried. She closed her eyes, but she stopped falling. Confused, Christina's eyes flew open. She gasped finding herself in the claws of SwiftFire.

"Sorry I'm late Chris" the young sonic dragon stated, setting Christina and Andrew on the street.

"Actually, you came right on time" Christina replied as Stardust landed.

"Christina!" He ran to her and Christina smiled as he quickly checked her. He nuzzled his nose against her stomach and she giggled lightly, hugging him.

Behind them, Andrew stumbled to his feet. Seeing Christina with her back to him, he grabbed a second knife from his pocket. He went at her with a furious cry, but Christina turned only in time for someone else to do something. The surprise on her face was visible.

Brad punched Andrew, forcing the larger man to drop the knife. Brad glared down at Andrew who held a bleeding nose, but Christina smiled. She hugged her older brother from behind, making him stop, but he grabbed one of her hands.

"I gottcha little sister, don't worry" Brad reassured quietly. Christina let go and police ran over.

"What happened here?" One officer asked the siblings.

"Hey, your those famous kids with dragons" another officer stated.

"Here comes a long explanation"

"Yep"

"Well sirs, it began a little while ago...."
