Retail Retali8r and her dragon friends scored bigtime when they located a parallel universe filled with dragon people! Most of the time, these folks were pretty normal, but they had their share of masterminds, mad geniuses, evil overlords, and of course heroes! In this other world, RR met up with a speedy black-and-red hero who was curious to see Lethayukulen and she in action! After helping him defeat his version of Nemesis (a strangely built draconic robot version that is), RR and Letha invited him back to their universe.

Once in the safety of Rita's home, atop a sedate Eastgate Hills apartment complex, Velociti transformed back into his everyday persona and introduced himself properly, as Hawk Cranston, dragon about town. They shared their experiences, how oddly similar names kept coming up.

So for a while at least, Velociti will be zipping around town with RR and Letha! What adventures might they have next?

Well this answers that question! Having tumbled through a Portal Corp dimension gate and been in isolation for a number of weeks after his arrival, a draconic looking Centuran was presented to Rita.

"You might know best, you know," said the girl behind the counter, "because of the dragons and stuff. We can't help but wonder what they use to teleport around."

"The same thing I do," Retail Retali8r laughed, "power, baby, power."

The softly glowing draconic male stepped forward and bowed. "Some day I'd like to go home, but only when I've mastered this mess I've made on myself." He indicated the bolts of tangy radioactive energy that would occasionally spill out from his clawed hands.

They learned his name was Thoon Ongar, but what he wanted to call himself here was the Emerald Dynamo!

"We'll get you set up," Hawk said, and outside on the Portal Corp grounds they heard a trill from Lethayukulen indicating he was a bit intimidated by the dozens of gawking superheroes.

"Portal Corp is like that!" Rita called out to the green dragon. "Would you rather be gawked at by civilians?"

It was pretty clear when they exited the building, that indeed - Letha liked it more when it was kids or folks who didn't fly around on their own.

"Why, I think he may be a bit jealous," Thoon said, "but you can fly! Come along, I would like to see more of this place!" He lifted up into the air, and the dragon followed happily.

"Well fine," Rita grumbled as Velociti took off below them. "But watch out for the Crey snipers!"
