One year after Dragoon . . .
Divine, Water, Wind, Earth, Light and Thunder stood together taking in the beauty of the new Tree of Life. Formerly their battleground, the Tree had been reborn much like the mythical phoenix once balance had been restored and Fate ultimately defied. An anniversary of sorts, the six remaining Dragon Knights took in the sights with silent reverance. In proximity to each other, their Dragoon spirits glowed their elemental colours brightly, giving the group all the luminescence they needed.
The Moon That Never Sets had long vanished from the night sky, a testament to what the seven of them had accomplished.
"So, should we say something?" Meru whispered to Albert beside her.
The King of Serdio smirked slightly, "I suppose you could if you wanted to - there really are no rules, remember."
Meru giggled, "Oh, right." She walked closer to the mammoth tree. "Hey, Rose, wherever you are - we're here to remember ya! We couldina dunnit without ya!" She shouted exuberantly. Dart intoned his own words of endearment to his friend and father also who had fallen in the final battle. Kongol and Haschel made a display of kata to honour Rose. Miranda said her thanks quietly and Albert left a flower from Lavitz's mother's garden at the base of the tree.
One by one, the group disbanded and went back to their seperate lives.
Dawn broke across the sacred expanse of land and with it a seed from the Tree of Life fell. The tiny speck flew to the ground with the weight of a boulder. Upon impact, it exploded into a sea of silvery liquid, making a small pond where it landed. A a naked form rose out of the silver water, kneeling on all fours. The figure rose, and peering out into the world for the first time in a year, smiled wickedly.
Lloyd stepped out of the seed's pool, Dragon Buster in hand.

"I can't wait to see Bale!" Meru exclaimed excitedly as she nearly toppled over Albert and Dart trying to find room to dance.
"Okay, Meru. Calm down. Jumping up and down won't get us there any quicker." Albert commented with a laugh.
"Oh, why don't we just fly? C'mon!" Meru bounced into the air and extended her oft-concealed wings. Their magic lifted her into the air.
"Meru, we're not Winglies!" Dart yelled to her.
"Duh! Use your dragoon stones, c'mon!"
"It doesn't work like that," Albert explained.
"See, look," Dart took out his spirit. The stone glowed transluscence but did nothing more.
Meru slid back to the ship's deck, "Oh, wow. I didn't even know. Course, I've had no use for becoming a dragoon since . . . well you know. It doesn't work anymore?"
"I'm pretty sure none of them do anymore. They transform us when Endiness needs us, but as Dragoons we are no longer needed." Albert stated with a shrug.
"Well, why still have them then?" Meru queried.
Dart opened his mouth to say something but shouted instead, "Lookout!" He grabbed Meru and Albert and dived to the deck.
"What the hell are you-" Albert stopped mid-sentence as an explosion rocked the ship.
Meru was the first to get up. As she stood, something swooped in and scooped her up.
"Meru!" Dart and Albert cried in unison.
The dark blue creature flew straight up with Meru in its claws.
Dart still had his Dragoon Spirit in his hands. He squeezed it, trying to force the magic out. "Damn you, work! Awaken Divine Dragon!" he yelled. The stone sparked then its glow ceased altogether. Albert brought out his own, it too seemed quite lifeless.
"What do we do?" Albert demanded of no one in particular. "What's happening?"
His question was answered as Meru's lifeless body fell between him and Dart.
"No!" Dart yelled, rushing to her side. Though he could see no wounds, it was apparent she was dead. Her skin was pale and chest sagged hollowly. "No, Meru!"
The creature came into sight, hovering just out of reach of Dart and Albert. Different weapons were fired at it by the crewman of the ship but each projectile was deflected by some unseen shield. The beast was the size of man with dragon like wings and dark blue scales. Its eyes shone a blood red and were now laid upon Meru. The creature let out a roar and instantly the girl began to glow, rather something inside her did.
The Spirit of the Blue Sea Dragon floated up towards the creature. Dart's eyes went wide as it passed his line of sight,
"No!" he lunged and caught the stone in his hands.
The creature screamed as if in agony and disappeared in a cloud of mist.
