Life was boring in the capital of Gygalos. Looking out the window, he
sighed and began to play over in his head his memories of the great event.
It was both the best and worst day of his life. His town, his home, utterly
destroyed. But that was the day he first saw his hero, Ban Fleiheit. Ryan
shook his head to clear the sun and daydreams out of his eyes, but they
persisted. When he closed his eyes, he could see the ominous black form of
the Deathsaurer loom before him. The days before the event were anxious,
with Emperor, then Crown Prince Rudolph supposedly dead, and Phrozen's
coupe for control. Then on the day of coronation, he showed his true
colors. As Rudolph secretly slipped into the palace, Phrozen sent troops to
eliminate him. Ryan distinctly remembers the vibrating of his room as the
rev raptor troops stormed past. Apparently Rudolph called for help, because
the Helic Military showed up! Ryan smirked slightly. Personally, he thought
the Helic military was so much cooler than the Guylos, especially now in
the Guardian Force. His mind wavered, and he reminded himself "the only way
to rid a daydream is to complete it. Back to the story"
Suddenly, the Deathsaurer burst out from the ground. Its large black form cast an equally ominous form over his house, broken only by its evil red eyes. It immediately blasted the Helics with a charged particle cannon. It may be his imagination, but perhaps that was the sound of Phrozen resonated throughout the capital. Within moments, the destruction blast streamed past his house, to vaporize a squad of Shield Ligers instantaneously. He gasped at the site, but before his breath could be sucked in, the shockwave hit. He made it to the doorframe just in time to see the house shake and jar to the ground around him. Dust and smoke obscured his view, and screams of pain assaulted his ears as his house collapsed around him. Then all went dark for a second. When he regained his composure, he could truly see the desolation around him. The entire street was totaled. Beyond the wreckage and haze, he caught sight of the battle, and the first glimpse of his hero, the Blade Liger and Ban Fleiheit. Despite his surroundings, an almost perverse glee filled him at the sight of his first real battle.
Everything seemed to happen at once. Two towering Gojulas charged the Deathsaurer like a pair of linebackers. Despite their size, their heads didn't even reach its waist. They clung to his leg like a child to their father, only to get the heads sliced clean off by the Deathsaurer's lasers. His glee was momentarily impeded by the thought in the back of his mind that the cockpits were in the head. That anxiety was cut short by the arrival of the majestic Storm Sworders, the sun glinting off their magnificent wings. The first poor Storm Sworder got swatted aside like a pathetic Double Sworder, but the other one launched its blades at the Deathsaurer and clogged its back. Then IT showed up. The Blade Liger, its shield giving a reality to its sublime heroic aura of grandeur raced at the vile beast at full speed, but the Deathsaurer simply shot its charged particle cannon at it. He winced momentarily, afraid for the pilot's life, when the first true miracle in his life occurred. The Blade Liger, its blades giving off a dazzling array of sparkles simply cut through the lethal blast. A smile wider than the Red River crossed his face as the Blade Liger cleanly cut through the Deathsaurer's waist. He could really hear Prozen's screams as the monster fell to pieces around him. It was at this moment where he truly gained his love and respect for the amazing Blade Liger, and the permanent adoration of its pilot.
Later that day, Crown Prince Rudolph became Emperor Rudolph. The ceremony was both grandiose and spectacular. He thoroughly enjoyed himself at the party, his 10 year old mind fairly unimpeded by the horror and desolation that had occurred around him earlier in the day. As the prince received his crown, he looked around desperately for his new role model. His friends, including the Gustav and Gojulas pilots, Irvine and Moonbay, where there, but Ban and Fiona, his traveling companion, were long gone. By the end of the day, the face of his hero, and the full story of his journey up till this point, including the fight with the Genosaurer earlier that day were all over the news. But it just wasn't the same thing. He had a drive to meet this Ban in person. "To think the most important day of my life was almost 4 years ago to the day. Man, these past 4 years have really sucked!" Ryan said to himself quietly.
He was now 14, Ban's age at the time of the incident, he noted to himself with a youthful glee. By now, Ban was 18. The news of the Guardian Force and its exploits were everywhere, but he had yet to meet his real life hero. After the Deathsaurer attacks, his parents, who'd survived the attack as well, moved into the countryside to avoid more war. Ryan despised the farm and it's pathetically small nearby school nearly as much as he hated the enemies of the Guardian force. He tried to live through Ban's eyes and shoes, but it was nearly impossible without a zoid and a way out. He knew about the Genosaurer, and wanted to see it in person almost as much as he wanted to see Ban.
Of course, he had no idea that the Genosaurer approached him while he stared out the window during class, dreaming of adventure. He couldn't have dreamed that his own adventure was about to begin, or he'd be tied to his childhood role model through the bonds of a common enemy. Such things were only known by fate until they were ready to be revealed. And as the Genosaurer sped towards his town, and away from the Helic base and the defeated Command Wolf and Blade Liger, fate was about to make its power play.
