He looked skeptically at the approx. 2.25 m tall dragon (withers, where the shoulder blades meet). Should he really get on these cattle and with them


to jet through space? The black-looking dragon was really dark red. You could tell because the light of the moon shimmered red on the kite


left behind, but even seemed white. The monster had a long, veiny and bony, but by no means ugly head, the upper lip of which was somewhat pointed


and was extended. The small nostrils opened and closed with each of the calm breaths and somehow calmed you down. As ears you would have them


small flutter leaves, wing-like but extremely small. The span of these 'wing ears' was perhaps 1 1/2 hand lengths. But the ears were


Not, behind each one found two tiny holes, which could hardly be seen and were covered by these wings when the darche was not wriggling with them

let. The long, narrow, but nevertheless strong neck sat on a steep shoulder, the chest of which was incredibly well muscled. The hanging 'arms'


looked like he could run with it if necessary and, as far as the legs were concerned, had just as sharp claws and muscles as the hind legs. The poor


were slightly angled and hung quietly. The slightly wider belly, but you couldn't call it fat, ended in a rather narrow flank and


finally in a well-muscled rump. The legs, which were attached directly below, stood firmly and deeply clawed into the ground, slightly bent on the ground and


were clearly the means of transportation. The tail was at least as useful as a weapon, as were the claws and teeth. The right difference


to the dinosaurs were actually the wings with a considerable span. But at the moment these rested folded up, like a deck chair on the body of the

Kite. All in all, such a dragon looked like a slightly smaller, faster Tyrannus-Saurus-Rex with wings and wing ears. So Vegeta's dragon was


dark red. The other 4 were by far lighter, pure blood red, now and then a few blacker spots, but just lighter than Vegeta his. He held a twisted one


Bundle of leather straps in hand and knew absolutely nothing to do with it. Surely these should be brought to the kite somehow, but how and where,


was the question.


When Fina noticed the Saiyajin's lack of clarity, she ran to him with a smile and explained to him how to unravel this tangle and put it on the dragon. First


there was a strap with many rings and buckles. Fina hung the harness around Darchen so that her neck was tied in a loop. She still buckled


a strap attached to it between the arms through and behind the wings, together until the thing after some fiddling and buckling,

supposedly sat as it should.


"You just have to make sure that the padded side is facing inwards. Otherwise it's just a matter of practice!", She said quickly as she turned the dragon's head


pulled down.


Now she put a rein on the dragon and held out her hand, on which lay a thin metal rod with bars on the sides. The dragon did


Willingly open his mouth and Vegeta shuddered when he saw the sharp teeth inadvertently. Fina pulled the bit further in and fastened it with one


Leather straps on the back of the head so that it hung quite low in the mouth. Many shorter ones hung around the nasal bone from the strap just mentioned


buckled and thus deprived the kite of the permission to open its mouth. Now she buckled the reins attached to the lower ends of the bars onto one


Side and led them through two rings that were hanging on a completely different strap. Vegeta groaned when he realized he could never remember that.As the


Once the reins were through both rings, she fastened it to the bar again. She fastened the two straps, starting from the rings, to the ring that was attached to the


the first crockery was on, roughly at brush height.


"Done!", Fina spoke up again. "Got everything?"


Vegeta grimaced to indicate that he could never remember that.


"Yes, yes, you will have to! You are in the Darcheneinheit and have to bridle your kite yourself at some point!"


Vegeta took a deep breath, nodded briefly and hesitantly patted the kite's neck.


"Oh yes, don't worry! You are sitting on the safest kite I have ever seen! So don't worry too much!", She tried to encourage him.


"And now, up with you! I see I have to help Goku too."


She helped him up even though he tried to push her away. `A prince doesn't need help from others. Hey you stupid thing, stop!`


His dragon stepped back a little but stopped shortly afterwards.


Son-Goku went through the same procedure as Vegeta and listened carefully. After all, he was also sitting on his kite.


Meanwhile Vegeta looked around. 4 of the monsters were already occupied. A woman, apart from Fina, was also there.


Fina got on her already bridled kite and started to give a speech.


"Since we have new members on the team, I will explain a few more things. Let's start by introducing the dragons and their riders. On the left of me, on the right for you


Sarka (actually spelled with an upside down ^, but doesn't know how to enter it, is pronounced Sharka), a very old dragon cow, the


should be known to everyone, ridden by Vegeta. Diagonally behind him, that's Carstila (Karstila; the last a is pronounced quickly), also a dragon cow and


a little more lively girl than Sarka.She is ridden by Son Goku. Both are new, so don't laugh if something goes wrong. Next to it stands


Imention (pronounced in German), ridden by Hantrina, Warmaster, also well known ... of course not the newcomer * grin *. At the back in the middle is located


Garidadon, a neutered, old dragon bull, not to be disturbed. It is led by Mitos and should be known to everyone except the newcomers. I ride


on Lady Fireodem, a dragon cow, also quite old. Here in the middle Vidi should be on Pyron. But it comes later because it is still


has to do and anyway we still have to explain to the newcomers how to lead a kite! "


`Well finally the ma stops insulting us! New here New there, puke! 'Vegeta raged inwardly.


Now Fina explained to them in a complicated but somehow precise manner the handling of the reins and all necessary aids to move a kite forward and backward,

To let go sideways, to steer, to brake, to get the darchen to crouch and sneak, as well as the whole act of flying. Forever


they rehearsed until they all responded to whistle and voice commands and were able to carry them out. In the end, the whole department was commissioned to do the


Orbiting planets in a minute. Vegeta believed to have misheard when he heard this, but knew after the flight how fast such a dragon can get


could.


Shortly before midnight, Commander Vidi actually showed up, leading a black dragon to her right, which was bluish in the moonlight


Got stains. Calmly, as always, she led the kite from the ground to the top of the formation they had regained.


She positioned her kite so that it protruded a little forward, but was still in the middle between Sarka and Lady. Pyron was a little different

bridled, let's say more complicated. A few more straps, not leather-brown like Sarka and the others, but black, gleamed in the moonlight. The


The head harness was simpler and didn't forbid the dragon to open its mouth. The kite's hind feet were covered with a kind of glove, the claws and


the approach still visible, protected. This `glove` went a little further than the first joint and was characterized by two silver rods, which


bored into the earth left and right of each foot. On the syringe, these rods were curved downwards, but really pointed. Pyron did a great deal too


more dangerous impression than the others of his own kind. His eyes, jet black, would not have been seen if the moon had not been and not in


that would have reflected moisture in the eyes. They looked angry and aggressive, but also satisfied and reckless. You could read his feelings that

his rider not in the slightest. Vidi discussed it with Fina and ignored the dangerous monster she was holding by the reins. Pyron was much more restless than


the other dragons. His ear flaps (those ears) played excitedly in the gentle wind, he also pawed his right foreleg. Now it opened


all fours and took a step forward.


"Pyron!", Vidi snarled viciously without turning around and actually ... he took a step back and straightened up.


Vegeta looked at Vidi like the first time. He had to admit that she was extremely interesting. Nobody knew her feelings, she was always cold and serious.


Even Pyron was not kind to her. As if he were just an object that could be ordered around and didn't need affection. You did it too


nothing that others suffered from doing something for them, even though they could have turned blue.


Vegeta realized that she must have changed her suit.The arm with the bite wound was no longer bleeding and looked what it should look like. The


Suit had no holes or anything like that. The thought of being bitten like that made him shiver. 'Oh


Nonsense, if she can take it without batting an eyelash, it won't be a problem for me! `


Now it seemed to start. Vidi crouched elegantly on Pyrons back, who immediately began to run, but from Vidi to a stop with a twitch on the reins


was brought.


"I have one more important thing to say!", Fina fell into the matter. "You are not allowed to fly past Pyron and all commands are commanded by Vidi


there, you have to
