Dragon Booster

Artha's father, Connor Penn, has successfully bred a gold dragon, a breed considered extinct and spoken of only in ancient legends. The gold dragon Beaucephalis must choose a rider, but Word Paynn sends his son's crew to attack Connor's home and steal the dragon.

The gold dragon chose Artha as its rider, but his friends are attacked by members the Dragon Eyes crew. Meanwhile, Artha is taken to an underground temple and given an ancient gauntlet that transforms him into the hero of legend, the Dragon Booster.

The dragon racer Pyrrah, normally one of the cleanest racers on the street, falls under the power of black mind-control gear developed by Word Paynn, and abducts Artha's younger brother in order to lure Artha into a trap.

A bank hiest implicates the Dragon Fist crew as responsible, and Moordryd challenges Phistus, the crew's leader, for control of the Down City Council, using a type of dragon developed by his father -- an invisible "wraith" dragon -- to defeat Phistus in the process.

Word Paynn challenges the Down City crews to recover an ancient artifact called the Furox, and Kitt Won, angry at not being thanked for helping Artha win a street race, is used to retrieve it.

Artha, exhausted from both street racing and his training as the Dragon Booster, accepts a sponsor to help him win an upcoming race, but the sponsor is actually Word Paynn, and the new gear he receives puts Beau firmly under Word Paynn's control.
