	"So, does anyone wish to accompany us into the sky?" I asked.
"I'm good." Twilight said. "I think we're all done with flying for a while."
"Well," I said. "If no one wishes to join us..."
"Right." Demijoshuamon said. "Demijoshuamon Legend Digivolve to... The Legendary Dragon of Honor, Blizzarddramon!"
"I'll make sure that everything is good here." Tabbymon said. "And besides, someone has to play the part of the ground observer."
"Then let's fly." Blizzarddramon said.
"Wait!" A female voice cried out from a point unseen. 
"Great," Scootaloo said sarcastically. "Those two."
"What the hay are you doing here?" Applebloom asked.
"Surely you wouldn't go without the most popular girls of the whole town?" Diamond Tiara said.
"Our line of work puts us in danger almost always." I said. "Do you think I'd let you tag along just so you could have a chance to hang out with someone perceived as a celebrity?"
"And besides," Jeremy said, mounting Infernodramon. "You don't have the outfit for riding a Dragon-Species Digimon."
"Please." Diamond Tiara said.
"You won't even know we are there." Silver Spoon chimed in.
"Fine!" I said, letting out a frustrated sigh. "Just don't come whining to us later when you're desperately trying to sooth the pain that comes from riding bare-back on a dragon."
"Really?" Blizzarddramon asked. "Of all the puns you could of made, you had to choose that one?"
"You want to finish this in the sky?" Infernodramon asked.
"Right." I said. "Let's mount up!"

"So, then," BlackAgumon said. "Just to confirm, I don't represent the spirit of courage. That role belongs to Agumon here." BlackAgumon finished, pointing to Agumon. "But sometimes, he's anything but courageous."
"Yes," Tabbymon said. "And you've never fled from a battle."
"Watch it, kid." BlackAgumon said, raising his right claw threateningly.
"Please don't fight." Agumon said. "We need to be ready to battle if and when Joshua and Jeremy call us."
"Do you two always go at it like this?" Twilight asked.
"We don't always see eye-to-eye." Tabbymon said. "Mostly on account of the fact that I basically replaced him as Demijoshuamon's guardian and training partner."

"So, when does it get exciting?" Diamond Tiara asked in a bored tone.
"You want exciting?" Blizzarddramon asked. "Then hold on and don't let go!" With that statement, Blizzarddramon soared into the sky.
"Shall we follow?" Infernodramon asked, already gearing up to soar.
"Do it." Jeremy said.
"Look!" I shouted over the gusting wind.
"Do you think it could be Arcticdramon?" Infernodramon asked.
"Looks like it."
"We'd better drop our passengers in a 'safe' place until the battle is over." Blizzarddramon said.
"You can't do this to us!" Silver Spoon whined.
"It's either this, or you get seriously hurt in the battle." Infernodramon said.
"Let's do this!" Blizzarddramon said.
