Authors Note: Chapter 1

I guess if I'm going to be going through my fic thus far I'm going to need to start from Chapter 1.

Prologue

News crews flooded around the barricaded building trying to get shots on what looked like a normal school. Police surrounded the place as if it was an official government building that was about to get raided. Parents of the children who attended the school were yelling at the officers to get out of their way. The streets were blocked off and traffic was jammed. Inside the school there was nobody, but coming from one of the classrooms, smoke and debris filled the area.

"Paula Walker here at Mininto High. We are in front of a large police barricade and are currently trying to figure out what has happened here today." The reporter said as she backed up through the crowd trying to find someone to interview.

She found a couple standing at the front gates. The female was in tears while the male was holding her tightly in his arms. The odd thing about the male was that he was wearing a military uniform. He looked quite tough, as if he wouldn't stand for anybody's bull at this time. Paula approached cautiously, stupidly walking towards the couple.

"Hello I'm from QNN and I was wondering if I could get a few words." Paula asked objectively.

The male was about to protest angrily when the woman quietly agreed to the interview. Unable to get a word out the man grumbled a bit before resuming his silence. Paula smiled, finally a scoop.

"Do you have any idea of what happened here?" Paula asked, much to the man's annoyance.

"My..my son has disappeared. Him and six other kids all disappeared from the same classroom. The children in his class said it all happened so fast. A woman appeared in the room and apparently killed their teacher and then attacked my son. I guess after that there was a series of bright lights and smoke and then they were gone." The woman answered, bursting into tears as she finished.

The man had had enough of this. He had agreed to the interview at his wife's will but when it started bringing her to tears he wasn't going to stand for it.

"Hey! Will you get out of here! And do it quickly before I have you removed by force." He said, refusing to answer anymore questions

"Fine." Paula said as she slowly began to walk away.

Harsh Crowd. She thought as she turned to the lanky man holding a camera.

"Cut the line." She said to him before literally grabbing his collar and dragging him away.

She shoved her way through the large crowd to get back into her news van, excited about her prediction of her oncoming promotion.

One Hour Ago.

The class was going as it normally should, normal boring lectures by the teacher, and pounds of homework. A tall boy, around seventeen sat in a desk at the very back. He ignored most of the teacher's words and just focused on the music being played by his MP3 player.

He sat there moving his head to the music while thinking about unrelated things.

I wonder when this class is over. Ten minutes? Ugh. Nothing special ever happens in this class.

He sighed; he moved his shoulder length dark brown hair out of his eyes as he watched the teacher move over to his desk.

Here comes the yelling.

"Darian!" The teacher said angrily, "Remove those contraptions out of your ears this instant." The teacher grumbled.

"Take it easy." Darian said calmly, removing the ear buds, wrapping them around the MP3 player and pocketing it.

Focus child. A deep voice said inside Darian's head.

"What?" Darian asked out loud. He had no idea what was going on, or what was about to happen to him.

Don't get caught.The voice spoke again.

"What?" Darian repeated, standing up with a worried look on his face.

As soon as he reached his feet the teacher looked at him as if he was crazy. Darian looked around, everybody was staring at him, also with looks as if he was absolutely out of his mind.

"Um, sorry, just had to stretch my legs. Yeah, stretch my legs." Darian stated, trying to reassure himself that nobody was coming to get him.

Looking around the room he saw the same things he usually saw. The dull not very entertained faces of the students in the class stared blankly at the teacher in front of them. Looking again he glanced at the few people he knew well in the class. Two seats down from him sat a brown coloured, curly haired guy half asleep at his desk. His name is Connor, he just so happens to be one of Darian's best friends in the school and usually his partner in crime around the school building.

As he circled the room he spotted other familiar faces as well. Mai was spinning a pencil around her fingers at an increasing speed; she was surprisingly good at that, whenever Darian tried it he ended up almost taking his eye out. On the other side of the room, close to where Mai was sitting there was another sleepy head, this time he had his arms behind his head and his feet right up on his desk. This was Tristan.

Another boy was sitting with his head in his hands. He didn't look entertained at all. This was Shane. If someone were to hand out awards for the most unique person in the class Shane would probably be the one too win. The reason is that out of everybody in the class he was the only one to have platinum coloured hair. He also has blood red eyes, too most people his eyes were frightening and most people did not look at Shane directly in the eyes. Under the desk Darian could see Shane's hand holding what looked like a small fire. He just shrugged it off as if it was something like a Zippo lighter.

Sitting by the wall was probably the only person in the class that although bored would still copy the notes down. She had caramel brown eyes to match her hair of the same color. This is Tara. Her pencil seemed to scribble endlessly as she continued to glance up and down at the chalkboard. Darian couldn't take his eyes off her. He had always had somewhat of an interest in her but he never really pursued it. She also had this older brother that was built like a transport truck who would probably tried to kill him if he tried anything. Darian was slowly zoning out as he continued to stare at Tara.

FOCUS CHILD!

Darian quickly became alert again, turning his attention back to the teacher in front of him. Much to everyone's surprise in the room, just as the teacher was about to speak again all of a sudden a curved blade appeared and prominently sliced open his stomach, gutting him and killing him almost instantly. From the blade came a shaft and from that the hands and body of a woman appeared.

The wielder of the weapon that had just murdered their teacher was rather tall for a woman. She had long platinum hair and crimson eyes. She had the body of a gymnast and she looked dead serious.

"So you are the mortal beings that are destined to become the new dragoon warriors?" The woman growled as she stalked around the class.

Most of the students had scrambled. Many just ran for the exit which caused a huge jam in the doorway, while others were just too stunned too run away. Darian could hear a familiar voice yelling something about letting him into the room and that his sister was in there.

"Well I'm surely not going to let any of you foil the ancestors and his accomplice's plans. I shall kill all of you." The woman said as she lifted her scythe and looked for the nearest student.

That student just so happened to be Darian. He had escaped from his desk but was currently pressed against a wall. The woman slowly walked towards him, finally grabbing him by the shirt and shoving him hard against the wall he was up against.

"You seem like a fitting first victim." She smiled as she lifted her scythe, the sharp blade still dripping with blood from its first kill.

Brace yourself. That was the voice again.

The woman swung the scythe but before it could pierce flesh all of a sudden a bright red light emanated from Darian's chest.

What the hell is this? Darian thought as he felt fiery warmth throughout his body.

The woman shrieked as she was blinded by the light. The room seemed to be getting darker too Darian. All around him he could see the red light that seemed to be coming from his body but within the class he could also see other lights. Golden, white, green, purple, blue and another darker shade of blue were all the colors that Darian could pick out. He couldn't see who they were coming from but he did hear one last thing.

It was the sound of what he saw to be a fireball which created a large cloud of smoke which completely filled the room. Then the lights started disappearing, as if they never existed. Finally, Darian's world completely went black and he lost consciousness.

The room was still filled with smoke but it was all but empty except for one lone person. The woman with the scythe still stood at the spot where she had tried to finish Darian. She smirked before turning away from the spot.

"So every single Dragoon was here." She muttered to herself as she began walking towards the middle of the room, a faint green light shrouding over her, "Interesting." She said before disappearing.
