Chapter 3

And for the last time, why don't you put a muzzle on Osushi when you go out?!

Being a Dragonclad, you're the ONLY civilian who can touch Osushi and not get locked up! Don't you get it?!

But, I DID put it on him! It just got ripped off when Osushi suddenly sprouted wings while we were walking!

Did he really grow wings without anything triggering it?!

Uh, yes!

Where did it happen?!

Huh? You wanna know where?

Please try to remember!

Osushi's wings usually appear when you try to bark like Osushi.

Or whenever you sneeze. Or when you start cracking up at something.

Or... When you're in mortal danger, Balgo.

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!

It happens because you're a Dragonclad. Dragons are aggressively attracted to you.

For now, I need you to take Osushi and go somewhere where there are as few people as possible.

Ninny, the barrier tape!

On it! So, what now?

Magic number 04: Stun Ball!

So, wait, what was the point of the tape?!

Just in case.

Oh, Chief. We've subdued a dragon, so I was thinking we should get some kind of a bonus.

So, you're saying you don't know what kind of dragon it is?

That's exactly what I'm saying. I've never seen one like it, so I don't know what kind it is.

It was pretty worked up and flailing about, so I stunned it to shut it up.

Niiha!

I could've sworn it went Lights Out.

Chief! A dragon blockade, Rutherford Street! We've got a Dark Dragon here!

Y'know what always gets under my skin? Doesn't it piss you off when they say Wing Bind has the situation under control? Annoying, right?

Not really. I mean it is our job after all, you know.

That's not what I mean! I'd be fine with it if we said it ourselves. Why's the BBC the one announcing it?

Hi, Chief. The dragon blockade's set up. It's time we tagged in the Sabres.

............

Sorry, what do you think you're doing?

Heh! That's usually my line! You're gonna let the Sabres take all the credit?

We can't pass this up. A chance to show HR our true power!

Our duty as Pipers is a simple one. Take the dragons to pasture and harvest from them. We don't need to be powerful.

Yeah, yeah, like I said before... MY mission is to become one of the Sabres!

Personally, that doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Hey, this is a huge deal!

Could you show up for once?!

And you! Stop chewing gum!

How many years has it been? A century?!

Ninety six years, to be precise.

Huh? Yeah, that's basically a century, dude!

Anyway, like I was saying, it's been a whole century since we last let a Dark Dragon get into Reverse London! If this isn't a catastrophe, what the hell is?!

You guys seriously have nothing to say about all of this?! Am I the only one pissed off here? Huh?!

Anyway, my point is...

...the problem is that this Balgo guy just runs around doing whatever he wants!

What do YOU say, Old Man Wolfy?

Trust me, this individual has been the topic of countless heated discussions within our squad in just the one month since he became a Dragonclad.

This situation occurred due to our own negligence. Therefore, we cannot simply ignore it.

We will proceed with the plan to eliminate the Dragonclad known as Balgo Parks.
