Okay. After watching "The Dragon's Rage", I am compelled to do two things;

1.NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

2. Enjoy this new story. =)


Previously on Mysticons...

Arkayna: Proxima just ran off with Necrafa's mask.

Zarya: (Sees Proxima with...) You teamed up with Tazma?!

(The Codex glows and lands on Arkayna's and Zarya's hands.)

Gawayne: I have TWO stepsisters?! And they're both MYSTICONS?!

(Queen Goodfey and King Darius are finally restored to flesh and blood.)

Queen Goodfey: Arkayna. (Hugs her daughter while Gawayne hugs his dad. When she sees Zarya, she is shocked, and hugs her too, unaware that a certain bespectacled Astromancer was secretly and sadly watching from afar.)

Nova Terron: We have to stop the resurrection of The Queen of The Undead.

Piper: Where in the realm would you resurrect a lich?

Nova Terron: I know one place.


"You didn't have to come along." Arkayna insisted as The Mysticons, Malvaron, Doug, Choko and Nova Terron flew the skies from within the Pink Skull's ship.

Along with the rest of the Royal Family.

"It's the least we can do after we failed to protect the Dragon Disk." Queen Goodfey insisted.

"Alright, but if things get too intense, we get to dome you." Zarya pointed out.

"What I want is to go home!" Gawayne whined.

"Oh no." Darius scolded, "After your recent 'reign', the only time we can approve of leaving you alone in the Royal Palace is when Trolls sprout wings and fly."

Gawayne groaned as he slammed his head repeatedly at the railing of the ship.

"Hey! Watch the gloom rage!" Kitty called.

"There it is. Land this ship, Captain!" Nova Terron ordered after spotting the land he was searching.

As the Pink Skull's ship landed, The Mysticons immediately leaped out and landed on the ground, weapons ready to face whatever dark, savage creatures they were about to face in such a dark... This can't be right.

Instead of a dark, barren, wasteland, they landed in a pretty, flourishing garden? With flowers and trees and a clear blue lake in the center?

"The spell requires Necrafa's birthplace." Arkayna pointed out in disbelief, "This can't be it."

"Unless it flourished over the years." Em suggested.

"No. This is it." Nova Terron spoke in gloom, "Where it all started."

"Keep an eye out for those two in the skies!" Zarya called to Kitty as the group began to trek the field.

"Aye-aye, Mysticon Ranger!" Kitty called back as her ship took to the skies.


"This can't be right, Nova Terron." Queen Goodfey spoke as the group scanned the entire area, "The Legends have always told that Necrafa was born in Darkness."

"I thought she was born from a cave." Malvaron pointed out.

"I heard she was raised by Demons." Doug shivered fearfully.

"You'd be surprised how many of those tales were fabricated from one, single truth." Nova Terron replied.

While Piper stopped to smell some flowers, Choko spotted a cloaked figure hiding among the trees.

"Choko!" Piper called as the Foz jumped off her shoulder and scurried towards the trees.

"Piper!" Zarya called before chasing after the Striker who followed Choko into the trees. The others followed her lead.

Piper stopped in complete shock as if she had just saw a ghost. When the others found her, they were shocked upon seeing the tall cloaked figure before them petting Choko.

"Mysticons." Dreadbane spoke indifferently, tossing Choko back to Zarya, "Of course you'd be here."

"Dreadbane." Queen Goodfey glared along with her husband who had a frightened Gawayne behind him.

"Mom, wait." Arkayna interjected, "He helped us destroy Necrafa."

"Actually, I..." Dreadbane stopped when Arkayna elbowed him. Man. Is that princess tough. Why did she do that?

The Queen and King were caught by surprise. A servant of Necrafa helped their daughters defeat the Queen of the Undead?

"I can vouch for that." Gawayne fearfully spoke while the other 3 Mysticons and Choko raised their hands and paw.

"Wait. What are you doing here?" Em asked.

Dreadbane sighs, "Just, visiting the very last happy memory I had before..."

"Still can't get over her, huh?" Arkayna asked sympathetically. It must have been hard for him to let go of someone who never truly loved him.

"It's... complicated." Dreadbane replied, "What are you doing here?"

"To be honest; We're not sure." Malvaron shrugged, still skeptical of the location.

"Trust me;" Nova Terron assured, "This is it."

Upon seeing the Astromancer, Dreadbane narrowed his eyes, "Terron."

"Bane." Nova narrowed his eyes back.

"You two know each other?" Piper asked.

"The Astromancers did fight against Necrafa's forces thousand years ago." Em pointed out.

Dreadbane slightly chuckled, "Oh. It's more than that."

"Okay stop." Zarya spoke, "There is no way Tazma and Proxima are resurrecting Necrafa here. It's too... pretty."

"Resurrecting Necrafa?" Dreadbane's eyes widened in shock.

"Yeah. They need her birthplace to do so." Zarya replied.

"Well..." Dreadbane gestured to the field, "This is the place where she was born."

"Seriously?" Piper gestured to the lovely landscape before them, complete with singing birds and butterflies.

"I know because I was there when she..." Dreadbane stopped. Arkayna could sense there was... guilt in his eyes?

"Perhaps this is the exact time for a history lesson." Nova Terron advised.

"Right now?" Doug asked.

"Yes." Nova summoned two long coaches for the group, including Dreadbane to sit in.

Arkayna found herself sitting next to Dreadbane. The two briefly locked eyes before looking away from each other awkwardly.

"So..." Dreadbane spoke first, "The Ranger is your sister."

Arkayna remained silent before whispering, "Sorry about Necrafa. I know you still have feelings for her..."

"It was better that way." Dreadbane sighed, "I doubt she even remember who I was."

"Uh... He's not planning to destroy us, is he?" Gawayne asked. This time, hiding behind Zarya.

"Not in the mood." Dreadbane glumly replied.

Wow. The Mysticons never saw him this sad before. Being rejected by an evil queen must have broke him really bad.

Before Arkayna could say another word, Nova Terron spoke, "It happened a thousand years ago. A time when there were no Mysticons. A time when the realm was protected by The Mystical Beasts, and The Astromancers."


A thousand years ago...

A giant, worm-like beast emerged from the ground. Everyone flees in terror in order to avoid the beast's wrath.

A child tripped when he attempted to flee with his mother. He tried to stand up, but froze in fear when the worm was heading straight for him. Its razor-sharp mouth opened in front of him...

As the child braced himself for the worst, a ray of light blasted the worm, causing into retreat back into the earth. The child's rescuer, one of the Astromancers, helped the child up, only to receive a hug from him later. Her hood fell down, revealing her long, bright red braid and dark red eyes.


"Among the Astromancers was a very powerful mage; Nessira Sundrop."


As the Astromancers made their way towards the Royal Palace, Nessira stopped every time just to help anyone that needed her help. In the end, the other Astromancers had to pull her away.


"She was kind, generous, selfless..."

"She had the most beautiful heart in all the realm." Dreadbane blissfully smiled, "And such grace..."


Nessira suddenly bumped into a servant carrying a basket full of fruits, causing the contents to spill.

"Hi Nessira." The servant greeted.

"I'm so sorry, Imani." Nessira apologized as she bent down to grab the fallen fruits.


"Wait." Zarya interrupted, "Imani was a servant before she became the Dragon Mage?"

"Yes." Nova Terron replied, "Along with the other Original Mysticons. Carrying on..."


Nessira and Imani continue to pick the fruit off the ground. Nessira reached out for one fruit, only to touch another hand that was reaching for the same fruit.

By the blush on her face, it wasn't Imani's.

"Bane." Nessira nervously smiled at one of the royal guards with short brown hair.

"Hey Reggie." Imani greeted.

"Why don't you go ahead and I'll pick up where you left?" Bane offered.

"That's... nice." Nessira nervously replied.


"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Zarya interrupted, turning to Dreadbane, "That was you?"

"Aww. You were so little and cute." Piper gushed.

"What did Necrafa do to you?" Arkayna asked in disbelief. She couldn't believe someone so big used to be... human-sized.

"And Reginald's your real name?" Emerald added.

"I'm, not proud of it." Dreadbane glumly replied. It's been a thousand years since he last used that name.

"Carrying on..." Nova continued with the story.


"Don't worry. I got them." Imani picked up two fruits and tossed them to Nessira, "A little something for you."

Nessira caught the fruits, but in the process slipped and fell into Bane's arms. Nessira nervously panicked as she got off him and shyly but silently gave him the other fruit, much to Imani's amusement.

"There you are." A younger black-haired Nova Terron approached Nessira and began dragging her away, "Star Master Alpha Galaga is waiting for us."

"Bye Nessira." Bane waved.

"Bye Reggie." Nessira cheerfully waved back.


"Wow." Zarya remarked, "Someone actually liked you thousand of years ago."

"I wish I was that lucky!" Gawayne cried, thinking about his ex-girlfriend, much to the others' discomfort.

"I can't believe you dumped her for Necrafa." Emerald remarked.

"I did not dump her." Dreadbane defended, "I never stopped thinking about her even after a thousand years. But then she banished me in that wasteland..."

"Wait." Arkayna interrupted, "Necrafa banished you in that wasteland."

That's when realization struck The Mysticons, "Oh our goblin."

"Nessira Sundrop." Nova Terron darkly muttered, "Future Queen of the Undead."


Hey Readers! I don't know how the ending should go;

1. Should Dreadbane rejoin the dark side?

2. Or should he risk his undead life for the Mysticons?

Help me choose my ending. Or, close to my ending.

Sigh. Poor Proxima. Poor Dreadbane. Poor Necrafa.

It might have ended happy, but there was so much heartbreak in the episode.
