So yet againI catch that sideways glance
Reminding me that I should love you so
And so little bits of our world is torn apart
You'll not find sorrow from me
I shy away cause it's a little loud
Through all that noise I think I catch that sound
I concentrate and listen carefully
Which puts me right next to you
Through the hush I can hear songs that have lasted for
Two hundred million year
And because I have heard all these words before
I will use them no more!
I'll tell you the truth about us
The two of us were born as if one!
I want your arms around me
When I need to forget
Remember all those words that I said?
Goodbye I've decided to go
And in this night without end
Let us now forget
What only stars remember
Chapter 1: A new ally?
So many thoughts were racing through Renton's mind as they were in the Vodarac Temple. Where did Norb and Sakuya try to go? What would happen to him and Eureka if they failed? Would he be able to protect her? All these questions were left blank for him when Renton hears the Nirvash's radio click on and turns to it
"This is Holland we can't hold them off much longer were pulling back to the Gekko ASAP."
Renton and the others board Nirvash. "Alright Holland, we'll be out shortly" He replies through the radio and looks to Eureka and she nods back at him.
"Well we might as well be on our way" Norb said looking at them
"Right" Renton and Eureka said at the same time as they grabbed Nirvash's controls. Nirvash started up and drove off out of the underground half of the temple. "Norb, what will happen to me and Eureka?"
"Well...I'm not sure but in my opinion destiny has a way of working things out"
"Hmm" Renton stayed quiet the rest off the way out of the temple. As they exited he covered his eyes with one hand. They glare from the sun was bright compared to the dark caverns.
"Renton everyone else is already on board we are waiting on you"
"Right" Nirvash sped off down the road gaining speed. It then launched into the air, ridding on the new trapper waves. "Holland where's the Gekko?"
"6 clicks north"
Renton scanned Nirvash's radar. "Right lets..." He quickly swerved on the controls, dodging fire from military KLFs. "This isn't good Eureka"
"Its ok Renton I'm not scared were almost there"As the Nirvash races for the Gekko more then half of the KLF'S are knocked out of the sky by unknown means
Renton gripped the controls tightly. Moving around what KLFs were left in the sky he landed Nirvash in the Gekko. He sighed and left go of the controls. "Made it" He then felt Eureka's hand holding his.
"We made it" She said
"Renton get to the bridge now were getting out of here at top speed"
"Renton! Umm..." Eureka began to blush. She was quite nervous a moment ago and the only comfort she found was in holding Renton's hand. "Oh, sorry!" She said quickly removing her hand from his.
Renton blushed bright red and looked away. "It's ok Eureka..." He felt happy inside that she had held his hand.
Just then the entire Gekko started to rock for a few seconds and all lights turned red as a siren started"What the hell is going on?!" Moondoggie said franticly as he fell on his ass"Looks like a hull breach in the LFO take off bay" Hap replied looking at a monitor"All right everyone to the bay Renton you Eureka and the kids stay behind us" Holland ordered
As the group enters the bay they spot what caused the breech for their it was standing in the bay a large winged reptilian creature that had green skin that seemed to be sort of chapped and breaking in certain areas that were yellow colored, grayish tarnished plate like armor attached to its back as if it was born with it and a long horn.
Renton ran into the hanger seeing the creature. He stopped in shock. "What is that!?" He stared frozen in fear with wide eyes.
The large creature took a few steps group and let out a loud terrifying roar at the group but then form some reason when it spotted Renton it calmed down approached him out let out a roar that sounded more like a soft cry
Renton backed up as the creature approached him. He calmed down a little thinking to himself for a couple seconds. "are you...are you a coralian?" He asked the creature not knowing if it could talk.
"No it isn't and if you don't mind I'd like to have a meeting with everyone" Norb said
"Meeting!?" Renton looked from the creature to Norb and pointed at it. "You know what this is?"
Norb simply nodded and went into the ships lounge to await the others
Stoner took a picture of the creature as they left "Yet another great discovery" He saidThey followed Norb to the lounge. "So what's that thing in my ship Norb" Holland was not in a good mod since the thing destroyed the hanger.Renton walked back up to Eureka and the kids. "Something's in the hanger, but everyone's alright." Renton said.
"I believe it to be non other then the Heresy Dragon""Another Vodarac prophecy I assume" Hilda said"No this predates the teachings of the Vodarek I have no idea how old the legend is but it's old enough that barely anyone knows of it and even those who do don't know the full story, This is most of the legend that anyone knows of Whenever the world is in times ofgreat war and upheaval and it shall seek out a rider, from the old tablets of heresy it has appeared 4 times and in my opinion it is most likely a bio weapon"
Eureka nodded occasionally while listening to this explanation, though she didn't fully understand what it was they were talking about. When Norb had finished she was still puzzled but didn't say anything.
Meanwhile Anemone lay on her bed, holding her head gently...though she didn't get headaches as badly as before, she still got them. She whimpered, reaching out from under a blanket and grabbed Gulliver by a paw, pulling him under as well. She wrapped her eyes around him tight into hug.
Dominic quietly opens the door to Anemone's room "The Colonel wants to see you"
She sat up, releasing Gulliver who scuttled over to Dominic, sitting on his foot. She stood, giving him a cold look as she walked past him, flipping her long hair over her shoulder.
Dewey saw Anemone enter his office and showed her a picture of a dragon like creature "This life form was reported to have destroyed 5 KFL's then made contact with the Gekko State we believe it was their to protect it, I want you to report to Captain Elveryn she should be able to fill you in on what it could be capable of after all it looks somewhat like our 6 new "pets" would you not agree?"
She nodded enthusiastically. Sure, it sounded like a suicide mission in the long run, but she would do just about anything for Dewey. She turned around, about to walk to Elveryn before she noticed Gulliver was gone. "Gulliver..." she mumbled. She could only imagine how attached Gulliver was to Dominic by now.
"Errr here I found him in my room...sorry" Dominic said walking in handing Gulliver over to her
She picked him up with no problem, putting him against her shoulder like a baby and patting his back. She looked back at Dominic with another cold look. "We're hungry, Dominic." She whined, her purple eyes staring at his grey ones.
Y..ye..yes of course" He said rushing off"So your Anemone I assume" Said a women with short blond hair who looked to be in her mid 20's "Well here are the spec's on D.M. unit 1 seeing as in my opinion is the one which is top of the line I thought it was only reasonable choice" she said handing her a report
She turned quickly, her pink hair falling to a stop at her sides. She continued to clutch Gulliver to her shoulder. "Yes, yes I am." She said, narrowing her eyes at the woman. "You're Elveryn?" She questioned immediately.
Indeed I am, Captain Elveryn Amouk of the D.M. Squad" She said giving a salute
She cocked her head to the side slightly. "And what do you want with me?" She asked coldly as she rubbed Gulliver gently.
"I was instructed to give you that report on my D.M. that I just handed you"
She looked down at the papers, barely reading yet skimming enough to see some key words. "And?"
"The colonel already told you about the creature that was encountered near the Vodarac Temple and that he also said it looked similar to our newest "weapons" the D.M.'s correct? So wouldn't it make sense that studying the report of the D.M's might give you an idea of what we might be dealing with?"
She looked at the report once again, sighing heavily before turning. "Yeah, yeah...I'll get right on that." She said with a hint of sarcasm. "Now if we're done here, I'd like something to eat."
"Yes were done here that's all"
She turned on her red heels, walking down the hall. Gulliver lifted a paw, waving at Elveryn a little as she walked towards the airship's kitchen. "Dominic!?" She called, swinging the door open and looking around.
"Here...the food is ready"
She looked up, seeing Dominic. She naturally blushed a little, not expecting him to be right there. "Oh...about damn time!" She covered, taking the plate. She looked up to Gulliver sitting on her shoulder. "Hungry Gulliver?" She asked, smiling at him.
Renton nodded his head as Norb talked. Even though he had no idea what a dragon even was. "So is a 'dragon' what's in the hanger Norb?" He asked hoping he could learn more about the strange creature.
"Yes and it's apparently here because it has chosen it's rider"
"A rider?" Renton began to think long and hard. How would you ride a dragon to begin with? and where did it come from?. He looked at Eureka for help.
"I'm not sure perhaps you would start by getting on its back...I think I might know of something that could help remember when I mentioned these tablets that told its story perhaps if we go their it might clear some things up"
Renton gave then a nervous look. "Getting on it's back might not be a safe thing to do Norb...right!?" He looked around at the others in the room, hoping for help.
"Only one way to find out""Don't worry if that thing starts to play rough we'll teach it a lesson" Mathew said cocking his gun
Renton rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry Mathew but I don't really know if I could trust you to protect me, not against a dragon." He smiled nervously at them
"Well it did calm down when it saw you didn't it?" Ken-Goh added
Renton froze as he remembered that when the creature had seen him it had calmed down. "It did!" He shouted out surprised.
As they talked they herd a cry coming from the take off bay
Renton's face suddenly went serious. "What was that!?"
"Sounds like its trying to call something...or someone" Norb said with a wink
Renton ran out of the lounge room ignoring Norbs comment. "It's calling me isn't it!?" He asked not expecting an answer."Renton!" Holland yelled after him as he left.
When Renton got to the take off bay he approached the dragon which simply looked at him as he got on its back as soon as he did however Renton felt a sharp pain in his head as if something was being drilled into his brain however the pain only lasted for a few seconds when it subsided he could see what appeared to be a heads up display that had 6 icons only 1 seemed to be on 2 seemed to be broken the others seemed to be off, 2 gages one green and one purple which seemed to be broken, a radar of some sorts and 3 blue gages. The Dragon then let out a roar and jumped out of the Gekko and flew off.
