Song: Compression of Time - Final Fantasy VII Soundtrack
The remains of a destroyed temple laid in ruin. For over a year, the ruins of what once held a great battle stay dormant and silent. The shards of a shatter crystal lay on the old dusty floor of the temple grounds. A couple of weapons lied on the floor all rusted from the beating of the weather. The night sky twinkled with diamonds. The world now lay in ruins. The disappearance of the CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu allowed another demonic presence to take over. The Isolation Barrier that separated the Zaibatsu from advancing to the other regions of Pern had broken and the Zaibatsu took its step further towards total world domination.
The current CEO of the Zaibatsu was a mystery even to the people of Kyoto. The High Summoner Zero tried, as had as, he could to fight off the Zaibatsu's forces by sending the WRO's soldiers into battle. Countless and Countless people died trying to defend their homes, from being over taken by this evil. The High Summoner soon disappeared along with the rest of the GUARDIANs. The reports concluded that the Planet chosen had perished in the fight against the Zaibatsu. The people lost hope and the world soon fell into ruin putting the human race close to extinction. Demons flooded the entire world during the Lunar Cry. Within a whole year, the planet was under Zaibatsu rule.

There has been a folk's tale going around of three glowing crystals that bare blue roses that held healing properties. Word got around of this flower's power, until it had hit the ears of a certain cocky red head. The red headed Korean was not one into fairy tales, as such of this one, but an illness was going around called Geostigma and there was no cure and everyone was running out of options. The red headed Blood Talon was the leader of the resistance against the Zaibatsu, he was in search of such a remedy to cure the ailing and dying for it was all he had left to go by. The Blood Talon had many names to go by, but people called him Hwoarang. Hwoarang traveled all over on the Wutai continent, but now with the isolation barrier gone, he was able to travel to different part of the world by using the 'Fire Crossing' that connected to the Endiness continent into Raccoon City where an isolation barrier was put up. Hwoarang stopped to see the blue colored barrier of energy.
Hwoarang touched the barrier, as it instantly sent him flying back into the dirt a foot away. Hwoarang rubbed his head and cursed insanities at his throbbing pain. Hwaorang rested for a while underneath a tree and then departed for Banora in the north part of the Endiness. Revving up his motorcycle Hwaorang left leaving the outskirts of the Raccoon area and into the desert where the elven kingdom of Spargus City lay. The desert winds were warm and the sand gusts were cruel to those who came into the hot dune without the right equipment. Hwoarang had stocked up on potions, a gallon of water, and bought a scarf to keep the sand out of his mouth. Hwoarang rode through the torturous heat of the desert seeing dozens of fiends along the way; having a little run in with a few graboids too. Hwoarang stopped once on a boulder to rest in fear of graboids dragging him underneath the sands in being their next meal.

Hwoarang lay back with his scarf covering his eyes the outfit he wore was not helping him cool down. Hwoarang wore a brown and green leather vest with a buckle at his collar. A necklace with a skull and star pendant, orange-lensed goggles on his forehead; with Brown leather fingerless gloves, and belted blue jeans with a big silver buckle. Fashioning it with brown leather chaps, dark brown leather boots that had metal toe cap and spurs to complete his erotic cowboy biker look. Sweat cascaded down Hwoarang's forehead glistening in the hot sun, as it dropped on to the rock he napped upon to get away from the monsters underneath him. The rock began to vibrate waking the Blood Talon up from his snooze. Hwoarang looked around seeing a giant poof of dust rising from the ground.
Hwoarang looked closer throwing a rock out onto the field of golden sand seeing a snake like animal with hooks upon its head come up from the dirt drag the rock under. Hwaorang waited a moment seeing the rock fly up from where it had been dragged under. Finally, the animal revealed its head like beak opening its mouth showing the snake hook like tongues it had. The smell that came from the animal was obscene. Hwoarang pinched his nose grabbing out a handgun from his black traveling bag aiming at the creature. Hwaorang shot a couple of rounds, but nothing could penetrate through the animal's tough shelly hide. The Blood Talon had no option left it was either fight it or run and he knew he couldn't get on his bike to start in time; for the graboid would pull him in quickly. Either way he knew he was a goner and he was not one to leave his bike behind for some stupid fiend to trash it. Hwoarang decided to take the chance and fight the beast.
Song: Combat – FF VII Crisis Core Soundtrack
Hwoarang pulled out a little device and through it into the sky. The device instantly opened up a holographic 'DMW battle activation screen', the screen displayed the graboid's stats and Hwoarang's too showing the D-link that was connected to three number slots. Hwoarang started up the program hearing the sign for the battle's start.
A female's computer voice sounded out activating the battle, "Activating Combat Mode!"
The battle began and the graboid went underneath the sands circling Hwoarang, as he kept moving his body trying to keep his eye on the dust that came up. The graboid came up from behind Hwoarang launching its hook tongues at him, Hwaorang dodged the attacks and shot into the monster's mouth seeing it descend into the ground once more. Hwoarang took a quick glance at the battle screen seeing the monster's life go down from the attack.

Waiting turn…
Hwoarang saw that the monster was about to enter into its rage an saw the graboid resurface again aiming its tongues at him once more. Hwoarang wasn't so lucky by dodging all of them and a hook wrapped around his foot picking him up and bashing him down upon the boulder. Hwoarang screamed in agony feeling his right arm break and one of his ribs crack. The graboid picked up the injured red head and swirled him around releasing him. Hwoarang flew into a dead tree and howled madly holding his broken body in unspeakable pain. The graboid raced towards the Blood Talon launching itself from the ground to catch its prey and soon to be dinner. In that, quick second the animal was shot in the stomach by a white ball of energy. The graboid exploded and the DMW ended the battle falling to the ground deactivating the combat program.
Song: A Moment of Courtesy- FFVII Crisis Core Soundtrack
A man with a fuzzy orange otter weasel like animal on his shoulder walked putting down his 'Peace Maker Staff', walked over to the unconscious Blood Talon. The fuzzy orange animal came down poking at the injured red head nodding his head in disappointment, while the green haired male elf walked over picking up Hwoarang's DMW, gun, and travel bag. The orange ottsel spotted Hwoarang's bike and called out to his friend. The green haired elf came up to the motorcycle grabbing the railing and rolling it onto the desert dune buggy he drove. The elf came gently picking up Hwoarang with ease putting him safely into the back seat. The orange ottsel ran onto the buggy's railing climbing onto the rail gun on top of it waiting to shoot down any fiends, graboids, or any wandering metalheads that crossed their path. The green haired elf soon drove them all off to Spargus into the hot desert sands…
Author's note: Okay finally the continuation from the last story of 'Rose Among Black Thorns' also known, as 'Angel Wing'. I must say this story gets crazier and more exciting every time I write a chapter. Well it is still a Tekken fiction it just has some crossoverings to it. I mean in the world of Pern many races from different games all live in the same world they are mostly just blocked off by barriers that have been hiding them from each other. Any way you know what ta do my loves!
