Everyone's finished eating, well, it ended up as a food fight in the end. Zero, along with a few 'friends' (Zero's gang of mercenaries, arriving from another dimension) will be taking the last village today. I have Vio working on the strategy, which may or may not be a good idea (he's tried to kill me in the past. Accidentally, of course, but still).Cody and Jason are finishing work on a project of some sort. From what I've heard, they've supposedly created the ultimate video game. One in which each player can create their own character with different weapons and powers and take them into free roam maps of real locations and fight it out with every other player. Those two are always coming up with new ideas. They've finished programing the game and are giving their friends time to create their characters (Well, all except Dani, whose helping Autumn clean up after the food fight and Wesley, whose still in the infirmary). I disappear into the shadows, still thinking of how in the world I'm going to free Insanity from Sniper's control. I might have to use an almost forgotten Dragon Warriors ability to do so.

Cody

The game is finished, characters are made, it's time to rock. We all agree on the map of what Empire City looked like before the Beast destroyed it (since we never went there before it was wiped off the map, we don't know anything about it). Our characters appear at the randomly placed starting positions. We're each using special controllers with build-in screens, all made by Jason, to prevent cheating. There are two marks on each of our maps, one is our character and the other is a randomly selected partner. I face palm when I discover who my partner is. This game literally just paired me with Violet. We decide to try the powers we assigned to our characters. One of the four buttons is, of course, melee. My character's first attack is a lightning bolt, second is a beast mode (I chose a griffon. Why? Just because I could), and the third brings a pillar of fire from the sky. Once I use this, I realize that it has a high chance of revealing my location to the other players. Both Violet's and my characters barely get away from Amy's character, who suddenly appears with the intent of vaporizing us. We're hiding in a tunnel somewhere beneath a park. I learn that Violet chose one of her father's powers for her character (the ability to merge into the shadows), along with telekinesis and a laser attack of some sort. With weapons hidden all over the map and four enemies to destroy, this might be one hard game to test. But, hey. We've got time.

Lion

So, Zero gets to have all the fun and capture the final town while I get stuck here with these idiots. Then again, the real battle will be beginning soon enough. And I will be ready. Vio's plan has me and Alec retaking the mansion while Joan, Nix, and Cody taking the beach and the southern part of the city. Cole, Lucy, Dani, and Jason will attack the business district (the eastern part of the city). Blade, the neko girls, and Destiny will take the western area where most of the houses are and the others will separate themselves into groups to capture the northern and downtown areas (Vio was too lazy to finish planning). Briar will handle Insanity, or Clara as she was once known.

Jason

Let me tell you in the easiest way, this game I created is awesome. The first play through went well (though I lost. Cody and Violet destroyed everyone). Now, we're just sitting outside, listening to awesome music (The Catalyst by Linkin Park), and waiting to know where the last three Dragon Relics are. Well, let's just say that the answer to that runs into the base in the form of three of Zero's mercenaries. They found three weird items in the village and were immediately sent back here with them. The next thing I know, me, Amy, and Cody are waking up in the infirmary, now wearing the new relics. I can't wait to get outta here! I want to test this glove thing's power! Amy's relic is a ring with a silver dragon head and green gem (like the Green Lantern, but way more awesome) while Cody just has a weird, rectangular box strapped to his right arm. We'll probably see what it does later. Anyways, I love my relic, the Space Relic. It controls gravity! I was using it to disrupt a conversation between Amy and Wes, but, well, let's just say that I won't be doing that again. Frickin' idiot! He stole my M-60 and fused with it before wasting all the ammo on me! I decide to get Cody next. I sneak up behind him and extend my hand. The eyes on the dragon head of my relic start glowing as I instantly double gravity right where Cody is. I laugh as he falls onto his knees, glaring at me the entire time. Well, that is, until he remembers what his relic can do. The eyes on his relic glow as well, but they're purple. Suddenly, the relic unfolds in a circle, forming a shield and I get blasted back by focused wave of two-times gravity. He can redirect any attack? Even changes in gravity? Damn!

Vio

My brother finally told me something about a revived enemy (or rather, former enemy) of Cole. Kessler, who was brought back to life by Insanity, has actually been helping us, since he found a way to break free from her control. I'm now conflicted. Should I tell Cole and Joan about this or not tell them and face any consequences? I mean, they'll find out either way. He's coming later today to report what he's found out about the locations of Insanity and any hostages she might have.

Well, I decided to tell them. Let's just say. Even though I'm sure there's no more problems between Kessler and Cole, I can't help but wonder what could happen if there is still hatred between them (it'll also be pretty weird having two of the same person in the room when we meet). Autumn walks into the meeting room (which is just another partially destroyed building, nothing special).

"How's that other fire Dragon Warrior doing in her training?" I ask.

"Well," Autumn seems to be trying not to laugh, "She set Logan, Shadic, and Eon's clothes on fire. Shard put them out, thankfully."

"So the minidragons are back?"

"Yeah."

"Finally! I thought they vanished from the face of the earth!

"They kinda did. They went into all the other dimensions around here, trying to find other allies."

"Autumn, they're only dragons. They don't even know what they're doing." "Well, if that's what you want to believe. I know what they really are." I laugh, "if you want to believe that the minidragons are some kinda spirits in disguise, then be my guest. I still won't believe that crap."

"Call it what you want, but we all know the truth. You're scared of spirits. You're fine with spiders, snakes, and any other usual fear, but you're terrified of harmless spirits." I glare at her, thinking of reasons why I shouldn't blast her out of the room with telekinesis.

Well, first off, my brother would probably kill me. Then, I'd be brought back to life for Azalia to kill, then I'd be brought back to life again for Lion to turn to dust. "Just tell me when Kessler gets here," I growl before she leaves.

A few minutes later, Autumn returns. "That guy you told me about just arrived," she says. "Thanks," I reply, "Send him in. I'll get the others." Autumn nods and soon, Kessler walks in. Instead of his usual outfit, he's wearing a black shirt, black jeans, and a black trenchcoat. If that wasn't weird enough, his lightning is now black and red (I heard from Cole that it was white and yellow). "The others will be here shortly." I explain. Kessler nods and sits down in the chair farthest from me. Soon, Cole and Briar walk in. Moment of truth. Is Cole going to attack or not? Luckily, Cole doesn't attack.

Briar

"Well, we're all here," I look around and see someone's missing, " Well, except Joan. She's probably learning how to use her powers to cook like Autumn does. Anyways, Kessler. What did you find?"

"First off, I've discovered how the one you call Insane Sniper made Clara become Keeper of Insanity," he begins, "He introduced an evil spirit, which then gained control of her as her spirit began fighting the evil one."

"So, he made her a vessel?"

"Yes. And since Clara is a conduit, there's a simple way to solve this." "A shard of the Ray Sphere?"

"How'd you know?"

"One of my many powers. I kinda read your mind." Vio face palms. I continue, "Once we free Clara, who's going to destroy her evil half?"

"Well, you're good at destroying stuff," Vio interrupts. I give him my famous red-eyed death glare, which obviously says the-next-time-you-do-that-I-will-brutally-murder-y ou.

"Your brother is right. You'd have to fight Insanity."

"Not that I don't want to, but why?"

"First off, Clara would be too tired to fight. Second, she might've been an assassin and has her conduit power, which allows her to become invisible, but she has very little experience in hand-to-hand combat."

"Good point," I walk over to Kessler, "I'm going to need a shard from the Ray Sphere." Kessler gives me a small, dagger-like device, "I've got to go soon. Insanity is probably on to me by now, so I need to go to a different dimension to escape."

"Well, Vio can help you there." As if on cue, Vio creates a portal, "I know your family is still dead, but try to stay alive."

"I will," Kessler replies before he vanishes into the portal.

"Where'd you send him?" I ask. The devious smile on Vio's face says it all.

"You didn't," I laugh, "You sent him to the first World of Dragons? The one I destroyed?"

"Hey, if anybody could rebuild it, it's him. There's still caves, food, clean water, and Jack, that vampire who's scared of you…" Autumn, who was standing right outside the entire time, suddenly walks in.

"Just like you're scared of spirits?" she asks before everyone (except Vio) bursts into laughter. "Get out!" Vio snarls.

"Hey! You know I'm just messing with you! Lighten up!"

"Everyone, calm down," I say, "Remember our battle plans. Find the others in your squads and get ready. We strike in the morning."

Cody

Well, tomorrow's the day we retake the city and we still don't know how to unlock the full power of these dragon relics. It's not like we'd be killed if we don't. That's when Blade appears behind me, scaring me half to death. He must've been hiding in that frickin' bush the entire time! He looks at me with his unnaturally golden eyes (even though he was in his human form, they still looked exactly like dog eyes).

"Briar wants to see you and your friends," he says. I reply with a nod. Why would he want to see us at this ungodly hour? It's almost midnight! I quickly find everyone, waking up Amy with an air horn that Jason somehow had with him. This ends with me almost getting blown away by a giant gust of wind. Finally, after about twenty minutes of waiting for everyone to arrive, we're all here.

"What's this about?" Wes asks, rubbing his eyes.

"I need to unlock the full power of your relics," Briar replies before firing seven bolts of lightning at the relics, each the same color as the gem of the relic it hits. The amount of energy released by the relics is extreme to say the least. We all get blown backwards, each of us now unconscious.

When we finally wake up, we're in weird, silver armor with the relics still in place.

"Well, this is extreme," Jason exclaims as he tries using his relic's gravity-controlling powers. Let's just say, he literally sent a small chunk of the forest into orbit. Kayce tests her relic as well. She runs so fast, she creates a sonic boom. When I activate my dragon shield, a force field surrounds me. Amy activates the time relic, freezing time long enough to find a bucket of water to put upside down above my head (since time is frozen, the water doesn't fall). Well, as they all say, revenge is a dish best served cold. When Trish uses the knowledge relic, she sees a detailed map of the city and every part of the planned invasion (well, that's what she tells me. I don't think she was lying). Both Violet and Dani decide not to try their relic's full power until the attack. Either way, we now have an even greater chance of winning this war.

The armor somehow retracts into the relics so we can all get some well-deserved sleep. As I walk into my building, I see somebody wearing a trenchcoat on the roof. I wonder if Violet knows that her dad is on the roof. Once my head hits the pillow, I'm out. If I wake up taped to my bed or the victim to one of Jason's other tricks, I'm going to burn his entire game collection to ashes and mix them into his food.
