Hello all! My beta rocks! Just thought you should know.

Chapter 4: Puppet Master's mission.
Mirage, the puppet master, the murderer. He allied himself with the Dragoons. He'd always known of his status as the Dragoon of Wind. He was told many things by his old teacher. He was given a mission to help bring the dragoon of flame to his full potential. But he was running out of time. The Dragons and the Virgo knew of P.M. it isn't safe. He only came for two things. One was his puppet, Legion.
Legion was a massive twin headed dragon. Big enough to be ridden by 4 people, is insanely fast, breathes fire from one head, and the other has a high-velocity water cannon. Both heads can shoot senbon, and both have razor sharp fangs. The wings are razor edged, and can shoot needles out along the leading edge. The wings themselves double as massive chakra shields capable of stopping even the strongest of jutsu and have plenty of power to spare. The tail can spew poison gas, as well as shoot out senbon, and small bombs. The belly can open up and can trap a large amount of enemies, and impale them with spikes. It has 4 legs; each one has razor sharp claws. There is a seemingly endless reserve of weapons, traps, and hidden blades in the puppet. Also, legion is made out of a unique alloy, and is virtually indestructible, except where it is designed to come apart. He used this puppet regularly. To the extent that he would become bored of the fights he would get in, but today was the first defeat of Legion. Even it couldn't hold strong against the Dragoon of Flame. But it severely injured Naruto.
That's how mirage got him. He led Naruto and the others to a hidden chamber created by his teacher. Inside were there was 4 chambers. He claimed them to be healing chambers. Said that everyone could heal up. He'd stay out to activate the machines. The true purpose of the machines is to mature the body. It would improve the Dragoons' strength a hundred times over. But Zabuza and Chiyoko wouldn't be receiving the advance in maturity, only the power. Hinata and Naruto needed to be a lot stronger. Then they could get the remaining dragoon blades.
So the Dragoons of darkness, ice, light, and flame slept. Each receiving a vision of the future. A cryptic one but a vision none the less. All the while Mirage stood just outside the base, on top of Legion. Waiting for the wind Dragon to strike.
Sakura and Kakashi successfully moved the few living leaf villagers to the dragon temple. Sakura would go scouting for food daily while Kakashi would stand guard.
He knew they couldn't stay forever. Whatever creatures were out there they were coming fast. He needed a place to move to and fast. He ran through the hidden villages he knew but could think of none that would work when he heard it. 'Find Naruto.'Kakashi looked for a source of the voice but found nothing. Then again 'find Naruto. Help him.'Kakashi thought he couldn't had to many people to look after but the voice spoke again. 'Take them to the waterfall village. Then find him. '
Mirage thought of his past as he waited. He is the last of his cursed clan. His family died long ago in a purge, and many of his friends died in combat. He blames himself for their deaths saying "if I were stronger they wouldn't have died" and so he left his village. He's never taken the life of another lightly. But neither does he hesitate to kill if he must.
It wasn't always that way though. When he lost the person that he loved, he went mad and destroyed not only those responsible, but their entire village as well. But that still wasn't enough. He then wondered around fighting any ninja he found, and slaughtered them without even thinking twice.
As the wind Dragoon he never is comfortable in one place. Despite this, two people are always following him around. One is Daisuke. He is really obnoxious, but he thinks Mirage is the coolest guy ever and wants to be just like him. The other is Ai. He once saved her from falling over a cliff, and again from a small bunch of rouge ninja. Ever since, she has followed him round saying "sure it might be dangerous with you, but, id be dead without you." He grew found of them, and protects them with his life. He claims that it's to make up for those that he has failed to protect in the past.
Mirage thought of the traveling he's done with them when he was interrupted. And explosion had gone off at the front of the forest. The dragon is close.
AN: and there we go! I'm getting wireless internet soon so expect faster updates! To the creator of Mirage, I used direct quotes from your description of Mirage. I hope you feel the character is better represented now.
