"It's a good thing you said that Joshua. I was really getting uncomfortable with all of those questions." Blizzarddramon said.
"I know. We really don't get that much time together alone anymore. And the time we do get to be alone is usually when we are asleep." I said.
"Let's be thankful that we have a valid excuse to soar in the sky too."
"True. I admit that it was scary the first time we flew together, but we both have gotten used to it."
"Yeah, we--" Blizzarddramon started before a barely audible grunt came from his rear.
"Who's there?" I asked.
"It's us! We're barely holding on to Blizzarddramon's tail! Can you help us?!" I heard Applebloom say.
"Allow me." Said Blizzarddramon.
Blizzarddramon moved his tail over to his back close to where I was seated on the noble dramon Digimon. I knew that their friends on the ground were worried about them, and despite that, I wasn't about to hold back on the chastising.
"Are you insane?! You could've been killed doing that!" I said over the roaring wind rushing past us to the girls.
"We just wanted to ride on Blizzarddramon." Applebloom said.
"Without telling anyone?! Without asking permission?! Do you even know how fast a dragon can fly?!"
"Well, uh..."
"Look, it is not a smart thing to hitch a ride on a dragon without permission." Blizzarddramon said. "Even a digital dragon is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Even the weakest hatchling of a litter can fly at startling speed. And let's not forget the scales. Sharp as razor blades they are."
"I won't ever forget the first time I rode bare-back on Blizzarddramon here." I said. "Left some nasty scars down there. I tell ya, if I didn't have pants on at the time, I would of come out of it with 75% of the skin in my groin and thigh area irreplaceable. I can tell that disgusts you. Well, do you feel sorry for your careless action?"
"Yes. And we promise never to do it again." Answered Scootaloo.
"Unless you have permission from your families, and us." I responded "Blizzarddramon, do you see Agumon anywhere?"
"No. It's as if he just disappeared." Answered Blizzarddramon
"Better check the surrounding area for any char marks or caverns that could help us pin-point him."
"Gotcha. Right on that."
"Felling uncomfortable yet?" I asked the girls.
"No." Sweetie Belle said.
"Nope." Responded Scootaloo.
"Not a bit." Applebloom stated.
"Good. It isn't easy riding bare-back on a dragon."
"Joshua, look!" Blizzarddramon said.
"Better prepare for combat then, life partner."
"I'll cut off his path."
"Aim for the tree line over there" I said pointing to a patch of trees near the edge of town.
"Ok. Freezing Whirlwind!" Roared Blizzarddramon.
"Foolish old beast! You dare challenge a Digimon that wields the Dramon Destroyer Gauntlets?!" WarGreymon pridefully roared.
"You are the fool WarGreymon!" Blizzarddramon roared in response. "Not only do I possess the Dramon Ice Shield ability, but I also have extensive combat experience dealing with WarGreymon variants! Your only option is to surrender while you still have your pride and honor!"
"NEVER!" WarGreymon roared angrily. "TERRA FORCE!"
"Dramon Ice Shield!"
"Blizzarddramon, we have to level up!" I said as I pulled out the Paladin Blade. "It's the only way we can keep him from destroying everyone and everything in sight!"
"You're right!" Blizzarddramon said. "Let's do this!"
