Here it is! The so-called sequel to the first! It starts off months
after the last episode of The Series. For those who are anime fans, you could
consider this part of the series to be the OVA Series. Kind of like a follow-up
in a way. I'm only putting up this episode for now, as a preview I guess. When I
have the entire thing done, I'll put the rest up. Okay? All right! On with the
show!
An early Monday morning, the dim morning sun shines down upon the Japanese
capital of Tokyo. The many dark-haired heads, dressed in dark colored business
suits, rush across the sidewalks, crosswalks, and streets. Citizens in their
vehicles honk their horns. The traffic moves on slowly. Policemen direct the
traffic as best they can. And, people in their shops and stores prepare to open
up for the new day ahead. All of them, unaware of the disaster about to befall
them.
The steel, red and white Tokyo Tower stands its 333 meters length,
watching over the city. But, not only did the tower watch over it. A dark
hooded man stood upon the very peak of the tower, looking down over the city.
He was tall and one could tell that he is very masculine and very defined.
He wears a black, somewhat of a desert hood over his head. It covers his eyes
and shows the rest of his face. He wore a gray metal headdress upon the hood.
Upon his shoulders lied a large gray metal ornament that goes from shoulder to
shoulder, across the top of his chest. Connected to it, a long black cloak
drapes downward, swerving in the wind. Underneath it, he wore a black and
ancient shirt with silver trimmings around it. He had a dark gray belt around
his waist and long black pants. To finish it off, he wore dark black boots.
The man went into his cloak and pulled out a special sword. The sword was
very large. The handle was long. At the very beginning of the blade, the mouth
of a dragon was created, leading to the blade. The blade was shaped like
flames. The bottom of it was yellow and as it went up went from orange to red.
It was a Dragon Buster, the only weapon forged able to completely
annihilate the Legendary Dragoons. But, how did this man come to have it? It
was only created centuries ago during the Dragon Campaign War, by the Wingly
Empire. There was no way he could possibly obtain it in the future. The last
person to have it in this time period was Rose, when she transformed herself
with the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit. But, she was destroyed by the Divine
Dragoon.
"I have been in this time for six months now..." he spoke in a deep, dark
and manipulative tone. He looked across the landscape of the city. "I have
come to learn so much about what has happened in the past..." he said, "What
would have happened to me...What has now changed because I am here. But, now I
have been able to gain the knowledge and strength I need in order to avenge the
death of my kind. Prepare yourselves Dragoons..." He lifted the Dragon Buster
into the air. "Prepare to die...!" he yelled as he laughed maliciously and
vindictively, "Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Cherry blossom petals begin to fly by as the main theme begins to play.
(Yo Ga Akeru Mae Ni, from Fushigi Yuugi). The petals soon leave, revealing the
title of our story...
The Legend of Dragoon
"Generation"
The cherry blossom petals return and fly through the title and lead to a
special building, the Cherry Blossom Estates. They all fly over to a balcony
and then fall underneath the full-grown cherry blossom tree that stood in the
corner. Inside...
"Sakura!!!" a young, dark-skinned girl yelled from outside the open door.
She was dressed in a blue and black school uniform. She had her hair in twisted
in a braid and then put into a bun. She was in a hurry. It was Julie! She
looked a bit older, as she should.
"Coming!!!" the other girl replied. She hurried out of the bathroom,
dressed in the same uniform. She had chestnut brown hair. It was Sakura,
looking older also. Her hair was a lot longer as it went even more below her
shoulders. She didn't have it in her usual hairstyle, however. She wore it
completely down.
"Oh, wait!" she shouted as she ran back into the bathroom. She looked
over next to the sink and found her golden brace, the one that had helped her so
much. "There!" she smiled as she took it and wore it around her wrist.
"Sakura!!!" Julie yelled at the top of her lungs again, "We're gonna be late!!"
"I'm going!!" Sakura replied as she ran out. She was just about to head for the
door when she saw a slice of toast on a plate that one of her other roommates
had left. She licked her lips and headed towards it. But, Julie grabbed her by
her arm and dragged her out running, "There is no time for that!!" "B-But...!"
Sakura cried. They both grabbed their briefcases and ran out.
They stood in front of the elevator as Julie repeatedly pressed the button
to go down. "Come on, come on!" she repeated. "It's never gonna get here,"
Sakura sighed. "Then, we'll head for the stairs!" Julie suggested determinedly.
"Eh?!" Sakura gasped, "The stairs?!" Julie grabbed her by the hand and dragged
her off one again. They both ran down the many of flights of stairs as rapidly
as they could. But, soon enough, they made it to the main floor.
They went through the lobby and over to the main entrance. The female
receptionist laughed as she saw them come in, "You're going to be late." "WE
KNOW!!!" Sakura and Julie replied, screaming. They rushed out the main doors.
They ran through the sidewalk that led to their school as cars and buses
passed by them. "Julie!!" Sakura wined, "I can't run anymore!" "Too bad!"
Julie replied as they continued to run, "Maybe we wouldn't have been in this
situation if you hadn't slept in!!!" A sweat drop fell on Sakura's head as she
laughed, "Yeah, well, I wasn't the only one." "Uh...no time, no time! We're
gonna be late!!" Julie yelled.
A young dark-haired man looked at his expensive gold watch. The time
showed 7:38 a.m. There were only a few minutes left until class started.
"Where could they be?" the young man asked himself. It was Bryant. There were
a heap of other students around him. One of them, was his friend. "I told you
we shouldn't have let them sleep-in," he said. The black-haired Chinese guy was
David. He had let his hair grow out a little longer. "But, Sakura looked so
peaceful while she was sleeping," Bryant replied, "I couldn't wake her up just
yet." David sighed, "Still...we shouldn't have let BOTH sleep-in. Julie sleeps-
in like no one else I know." Bryant laughed, "You're right." "Oh, I think
that's them," David pointed. Two girls were running through the crowd of
students, old and new.
Julie and Sakura hurried and hurried. "Good morning Sakura," another
female student greeted. "Good morning!" Sakura smiled cheerfully, as she
stopped to say hello. Julie ran back for her and dragged her back with her.
Bryant was waving his hand over to them. "Oh, Bryant!" Sakura smiled as she ran
into his arms. "Good morning," he smiled. "Good morning," Sakura replied as
she kissed him. David and Julie watched disgustingly. "Now we have to put up
with this even more so now that we're back in school," Julie sighed. "We'll
just have to keep to our studies to distract us," David stated. "I wouldn't go
that far," Julie said.
"Hello everyone!!" a young girl shouted from afar. The group turned to
her. The girl was also dressed in uniform. It was Yui. She had let her dark-
colored hair grow out to just above her waist. She looked very pretty. "Y-
Yui?!" Sakura gasped happily as she ran over to her, "What are you doing here?"
Yui smiled, "I passed the entrance exam. Now, I'm gonna be able to graduate with
all of you!" "Really?!" Sakura asked her excitedly. Yui nodded. Sakura leaped
into the air happily, "All right!!" The others gathered with them. Yui went
over to David. "It was a surprise," David told them. "This is gonna be a great
year!" Julie shouted cheerfully. "Our final one," Bryant smiled. Everyone
nodded, as the bell rang. "Come on everyone. Opening ceremony," David said as
they all headed off into the Rikkyo International University together, along
with the other students in the school.
As they entered, a professor dressed in a business suit came in. The
group looked over to him. It was Professor Drake, who was now shaved and clean-
cut. Everyone smiled at each other. Everyone was together again.
Too Good To Be True
A New Mission
Sakura was in her desk, during class. Professor Drake was teaching in the
front of the classroom. He was teaching History and Archaeology, of course.
Bryant was sitting behind her, Julie next to her, David behind Julie, and Yui
behind Bryant. They wanted to stay as close as possible.
Sakura was leaning on her left hand as she watched Professor Drake teach.
It almost seemed like she was daydreaming. She was actually deep in thought.
There was just something on her mind...
"Hello everyone. I'm sure you all remember me, right?" she asked, now
narrating, "Of course you do. It's been six months since that day...you know,
the day we all saved the world from Rose and the Abyss. It's been a wonderful
six months. We've all been so happy. We did so many things and made so many
memories. Ones we'll never forget. But...somehow, something worries me. I know,
I know. It's strange, but stranger things have happened. You see, the reason I
slept-in this morning was because I was having this dream and...Oh, never mind!
I'm just thinking too much!"
Sakura looked back to her friends who were all listening to what Professor
Drake had to say, unlike her.
"Now, onto a better note. A lot of things have changed. You see, since
P.D.'s my legal guardian and The Dragony was destroyed, he has no place to say.
So, the school expanded our room and added his room in. And now...we're all
together like one big family, because that is what we are. A happy family. And
now, Yui's gonna be apart of that family along with me, Bryant, Julie, P.D., and
David. Things couldn't get better than this. But...I just get this feeling that
it could get a whole lot worse. I hope I'm just being paranoid. "
School had ended for the day. It was a great first day back, unlike last
year if you all remember. The students came out of their classrooms, went to
their lockers, and got ready to either go out or go back home.
Sakura and her friends came outside laughing and giggling. "Hey, isn't
the professor coming too?" Julie asked. "He has to stay back for a teacher's
meeting," David answered, "We'll see him later." Sakura's stomach then growled.
Sakura's face turned a bright red in embarrassment. "Somebody's hungry," Yui
smiled. "Didn't you eat lunch?" Bryant asked. Sakura nodded, "I did, I did!
But...breakfast..." "How about you go to the snack bar and grab something to
eat?" Julie suggested. "O-Okay," Sakura agreed. "I'll go with you," Bryant
told her. Sakura smiled. "We'll wait for you out front, okay?" Yui told them.
Sakura and Bryant walked through the walkway together. Sakura yawned, "I really
wish I could've gotten more sleep this morning..." "What?" Bryant asked, "You
slept-in more than I did." "But, I was..." Sakura began to say, "I had a
dream." "A dream?" Bryant asked. Sakura nodded, "Uh huh...it was kind of
strange." "Really? What about?" Bryant asked her. "Well..." Sakura began as
she recalled the dream.
"I'm in this pitch-black room when in front of me two lights appear. One's
kind of gold and the other is purple or violet. Then, they faded away," Sakura
explained, describing her dream, "After that, where the lights were, a hooded
man appeared. And his aura...was so familiar somehow."
"A hooded man?" Bryant asked, "I think you were just dreading coming back
to school, that's all." "You're probably right." Sakura agreed. They continued
onward. They arrived near the bathroom. "Hey, I'm gonna go relieve some
stress. Wait for me at the snack bar," Bryant told her. "Okay," she replied.
Bryant hurried inside the restroom as Sakura walked off.
As Sakura was arriving to where the food court was, a strange feeling came
to her. She gasped, her eyes widening, as she looked around. "This aura..."
she said, "It's the same as in my dream..." She looked around again, but then
decided to ignore. She continued over to the snack bar. A middle-aged man
greeted her, "Hello there. What would you like?" "One nikuman, please," Sakura
replied. A nikuman is a meat bun. "All right," he said as he brought her the
flour dumpling, "One nikuman." "Thank you," Sakura smiled as she took it. "500
yen please," the man said. Sakura handed him the money. Sakura quickly took a
bite of her food, "Mmm...so good."
A female student and a group of other students walked up to her from
behind. "Are you Ms. Hikarino?" the girl asked. Sakura turned around with the
nikuman still in her mouth. Sakura took another bite and then swallowed.
"That's me," Sakura replied, "But, please, call me Sakura." The girl and the
rest of the students had the strangest look in their eyes. Sakura quickly
noticed. "I'd better...go now," Sakura said slowly as she slowly walked away.
Two of the guys grabbed her by her arms and covered her mouth. Sakura tried to
scream, but couldn't. "H-Hey! Let her go!" the man at the snack bar yelled.
Another one of the guys went up to him and knocked him out. He lied unconscious
on the floor. Sakura kept trying to call for Bryant, but her yells were too
muddled and soft. "Take her to the top of the North Building," the girl ordered
as they all walked away.
The somewhat possessed students took their captive over to the North
Building. They dragged her up the stairs and onto the roof. Sakura managed to
get her mouth free, "Let me...go!" The young female student stepped forward,
"We have brought her to you, just as you asked." Sakura was feeling that
strange aura again, "This aura...it's so familiar, yet..." Floating in front
and above them all, the hooded man appeared. Sakura gasped when she saw him.
It was the same hooded man from her dream. Her dream seems to have been
prophetic.
"Well done," he replied. "Who...Who are you?!" Sakura yelled, "And what
have you done to them?!" "You need not worry about me," the hooded man said,
"Now them, don't worry. They're just possessed by my dark magic. I will not hurt
them...yet." "He does have magic..." Sakura thought to herself, "I feel it
swirling all around me. It's strong...ancient." "I cannot believe you do not
know who, or shall I say, 'what' I am," the hooded man told her, "My aura...my
power...Isn't it familiar to you? Think carefully."
Sakura closed her eyes and began to concentrate on what this man was. She
knew it, but just couldn't remember. But, soon enough, the scenes of where she
first felt this aura returned to her mind. They flowed through her mind like a
slideshow. Six months ago, inside that dimension where The Abyss was going to
rise. Rose's image, of when she was possessed by the Wingly spirit, appeared in
her mind. That was it!
"N-No way..." Sakura gasped, "You can't be..." The hooded man grinned,
"That's right. I am...a Wingly."
Bryant came out of the bathroom and then headed towards the snack bar. He
arrived and saw no one around. He did find, however, a half-eaten nikuman on
the floor. He bent down to look at it, "Sakura said she was going to buy one of
these. But, why would she...?" "Bryant!" Julie called as she and the other two
followed. "Hey guys," Bryant replied. "What's going on? You two have been
taking forever," David complained. "Huh? Where's Sakura?" Yui asked. "I-I
don't know," Bryant replied. "What do you mean you don't know?" Julie asked
him. "U-Ugh..." could be heard from behind the counter of the snack bar. They
hurried over to it to see what that sound was. It was the man who worked there.
"Oh my god!" Yui gasped as she bent down to see if he was all right, "Are you
all right?" "Y-Yeah," the man replied as he rubbed his head. "Do you know what
happened to the girl who bought a nikuman from you a while ago?" Bryant asked.
"Yeah!" the man answered, "Some...weird-looking students grabbed her and took
her away. And then, they knocked me out." "Do you know where they could have
taken her?" David asked. "Before I passed out, I heard one of them saying to
another to take her to the North Building," the man explained. "Sakura's in
trouble," Julie said worriedly. "Yui, stay here with him," David told her. Yui
nodded, "I will." "Let's go," Bryant said as they ran off.
As they ran off, Julie noticed Bryant's pocket. "Bryant, look!" she
pointed. They all stopped. Bryant's pocket was glowing red. He reached inside
and pulled out the Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit. Julie's and David's pockets were
also glowing. They pulled out the Sea Wave and Jade Dragoon Spirits. "They're
glowing," Bryant stated. "They're trying to tell us something," David said,
"Possibly...evil?" "Oh no. Sakura!!!" Bryant yelled as he ran off. "Bryant,
wait!!" Julie cried as she and David ran after him.
"You're...a Wingly?" Sakura asked, "But, how is that possible?! The
Winglies were destroyed centuries and centuries ago! There's no way they could
have survived! And even if one did, they wouldn't last all of those centuries!
They would have died of old age!" "You are correct," the hooded man replied.
"Then, how?" Sakura asked. "I have no need to tell you, as of now," he said, "I
will tell you soon enough. The time isn't now, Divine Dragoon." "W-What did you
say?!" Sakura asked. "You are the Divine Dragoon, are you not?" he asked. "H-
How did you...?" Sakura began. "Must we get into such trivial things. Because,
right now, you are going to kill yourself." Sakura gasped, "What? You're
crazy!" "No, I'm not," he replied, acting oblivious, "You are going to jump off
the building. I wonder what the newspapers shall read... 'Young Girl Takes Life,
could it have been because of post final year stress...? Or, because of the
constant teasing of other students?" "You psychotic...!" Sakura yelled. "Me?
Psychotic? I'm not the one jumping off of this roof," the hooded man smirked,
"Throw her off." The two guys that held her began to push her towards the edge.
"No..!" Sakura struggled, "Stop...it!!"
Her three friends, led by Bryant, busted through the door. "Sakura!!"
Bryant shouted. The possessed students, including the ones that held Sakura,
looked back to see who it was. Sakura took the opportunity to free herself.
She elbowed one of them in the stomach, turned around and high-kicked the other.
Bryant began running towards Sakura, "Sakura!" "Hmph, it seems the cavalry has
arrived," the hooded man sighed. With the wave of his hand, Bryant was thrown
off the edge of the roof. "Bryant!!" his friends cried. Sakura ran after him.
She leaped off the edge and held him as they both began to fall vertically. She
held Bryant close as her golden brace began to shine.
"Oh well..." the hooded man said, "Seize these two. They're next." The
possessed students began to approach both Julie and David.
Then suddenly, near the edge of the roof, a white light appeared.
Everyone turned towards it to see what it was. The hooded man blocked the
blinding light from his eyes, still being able to see it through the gaps,
"This...light..." Sakura, her glimmering angel wings behind her, floated up and
above the roof. She first set Bryant down. Her eyes were now silver.
"Sakura!" David shouted happily. "Bryant!" Julie added. Sakura put both of her
hands on her lips and then blew a special kiss to the possessed students. Out
of the palms of her hands, sparkling white lights floated to them. When they
touched each student, the students' eyes returned to normal as they fell
unconscious.
Professor Drake had just finished his meeting and was b\passing by the
front of the North Building. He looked up and saw the white light. He knew
whose light it was. "Sakura!" he gasped as he ran towards the building.
Sakura turned to the hooded man. She raised her arms into the air as a
ball of white light appeared above her. She brought the ball of light and held
it in front of her. Soon enough, rays of white light spiraled inward and onto
the ball causing it to grow. "Hah!!" Sakura cried as she fired the magic
attack. The ball of light changed into a large beam of light that fired at the
dark hooded man. The hooded man teleported away just before the blast could hit
him. He reappeared a few feet away.
He looked downward and saw Sakura's friends ready to fight with him and
then looked at the angel Sakura. "Our time to battle is not now," he said to
them, "It shall be soon. I tried to do this the easy way, but you all made it
difficult. I will hurt you all in the worst way you can imagine. Until then..."
The hooded man faded away into the darkness of the shadows.
Sakura floated downward and to her friends. She closed her eyes as the
wings disappeared and her eyes returned to its normal color. Bryant rushed to
hug her, "I'm so glad we made it in time." Sakura smiled, "Me too." "Are you
all right, Sakura?" Julie asked. "I'm fine," she replied, "Nothing I couldn't
handle myself." "Who was that guy?" David asked. "Someone I never expected to
meet..." Sakura mumbled. "What's that?" David asked her. "Oh, nothing," she
replied, "Let's just go home."
"Everyone!" Drake shouted as he ran over to them gasping for air, "I saw
the light...and then knew you all were in danger!" "Don't worry, P.D. It's all
okay now," Sakura reassured him. "Oh thank goodness," he sighed in relief,
"What happened here?" "We'll explain it when we get back home," Bryant said.
"Or, at least Sakura will. Right?" Julie asked. Sakura nodded, "Yeah. I will."
"All right then," Drake agreed, "Let's hurry, before they all wake up." "Yeah,"
David said. Everyone began to leave.
Sakura stayed for a moment and began to look into the sky. She was sad,
disappointed. She was hoping her happiness would last forever. But, maybe
sometimes, nothing is forever. And now, something new was approaching. she
didn't let her friends in on it though. She knew what they were up against.
She just didn't know how to handle it.
"Sakura, are you coming?" Bryant asked. "Huh...? Oh, right. Yeah, let's
go," Sakura replied as she returned. She walked off with Bryant to the door.
The hooded man appeared on the rooftop of one of the nearby school
buildings. He smirked, "Wait until you see what I have in store for
you...Divine Dragoon. Ha ha ha ha!!!!"
