Act V: A Turn in the Road
Chapter 2: Where legends come from
Number 39: Utopia and Gigo are walking on the dark mountain trail hoping to ban five other warriors to stop an unknown evil arising. At this point, they know that the possibilities of finding more allies is getting out of the dark mountain range. If I recruit five more allies to my group then I can save Mana. Utopia thought as he walk. As for Gigo, he just want to bring Kozaky to justice. But with Utopia's help, he might get help to control not just his anger but his evil presence as well. Then Gigo caught something in the corner of his eye. He sees a tablet with carvings. He pokes Utopia signalling him to stop. The duo look at the tablet from top to bottom. Then Gigo took a closer look at the top of the tablet before sunlight hit the tablet. Gigo gasp of the picture.
Utopia turns to his friend. "Whats the matter?" Utopia said. He turn to see the top of the tablet and see a carving of a dragon. "Do you know what that is?"
Gigo nods his head. "That ,Utopia, is the carving of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
Utopia looks at the carving awe knowing that is a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Why a dragon with such grace is a monster to all?
Gigo walks up the the tablet and brush off the dust covering the bottom of the tablet. It revealed writing of a strange language that Utopia doesn't recognize.
"What kind of language is this?" Utopia said.
"The language of the Spellcasters." Gigo said, "I know how to read it because I'm an Extraordinary and plus a Spellcaster taught me how to read it."
Utopia look at him with smile. Showoff.
Gigo looks at the writing and tries to translate it. Gigo eyes wide open. "This is the Legendary tablet of Blue-Eyes. It decepts the origin of Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Only few of these exist."
"Mana said her village was destroyed by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon named Azrael." Utopia said, "Does this tablet describe why the Blue-Eyes Dragon is such a killer."
Gigo looks at Utopia. "Oh Utopia. There is not one Blue-Eyes. There are three Blue-Eyes!"
Utopia's eyes went wide open. Three?! There are three Blue-Eyes?! I hope we don't encounter all three of them at the same time.
"If you're going to be here Utopia, " Gigo said as he turns to Utopia, "Then know the Blue-Eyes Legend:
'When the world was young, a comet light descended on the world.
It hit on a rock and rock glowed with a luminous light.
The rock crack like an egg and a graceful beast was born.
The legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
The dragon was named Kisara by the residents nearby the miraculous birth.
The young dragon grew into a graceful thing.
Kisara will help wound and pour and kill the evil that threaten them.
Centuries tick by, the dragon finally give birth to three triplet eggs which crack.
The three brothers are thought by others of Kisara's legacy of kindness and just.
But they were wrong.
The brothers; Azrael, Ibris, and Dijbrael; at their prime decide to prove their might and started to conquer lands and killing innocents who stand in there way.
Kisara was ashamed of her sons and lived in exile for all eternity.'"
Gigo finished the tale. Utopia sense that Gigo's mood change when Gigo told the story. "Did Azrael did the same thing to your home as he did with Mana's?" asked Utopia.
Gigo look at Utopia. "Yes, one of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon brothers destroy my home." said Gigo. "But it wasn't Azrael, it was Ibris. Despite Azrael being the most powerful, Ibris is the most arrogant. He destroyed my home and kill my friends and family. I was the only one who survived the attack. But unlike your friend, I was mistreated by other people and beings because of my species. Until I got to my teen years, some one took me in. Nobody know his real name but everybody called him Marauding Captain. He taught me how fight and respect other beings. He was the one who told me about the Blue-Eyes Legend. It was great until…."
"Until what…" Utopia said.
"Until one day, "Gigo explained, "He finally found the lost part of the Blue-Eyes Legend that the Council of the Six Attributes that been hiding all these years."
Utopia is now getting enthusiastic about Gigo's story. He needs to know what Marauding Captain told Gigo. "What did he told you?" Utopia ask.
"I don't know." Gigo said as Utopia's mouth drop, "Before he did, the killer of order came in and killed Marauding Captain. He beat me up to a size of a pulp. He left me for dead until Kozaky come by and experimented on me."
"I'm sorry." Utopia said as he sees Gigo was about to cry. "Who killed him?"
"That good for nothing bastard, Invader of Darkness!" Gigo cried.
Utopia's eyes went wide open. "Gigo, thats the same person that almost killed Mana." Utopia said.
"Then we have a common enemy." Gigo said. Gigo dried up his tears and looks at the tablet writing again. Gigo's eyes went wide open. "Oh my stars." Gigo said, "This is impossible."
"What?" Utopia ask.
"The tablet says before Kisara got the chance to go into exile, she was killed by some mechanical being." Gigo said. "But before her death, she laid more one egg. So thats what Marauding Captain discovered." Gigo turn to Utopia, "So do you think this mechanical being has to do something with that Kazuma said?"
"I don't know." Utopia said, "The more perfect question in this case is where the other Blue-Eyes?"
"I don't know that." Gigo said as he rubs his chin. "But I can tell you that a dragon egg takes about 40 years to hatch without the warmth of its mother and Kisara disappeared almost 40 years ago. I also believe the sex of the baby Blue-Eyes is female."
"Female? How do you know?" Utopia surprisingly ask. "What are you? A dragon doctor?"
"In Dragon biology, "said Gigo, "every dragon female must bear a female youngling to continue that dragon's race including legendary dragon classes. The others Kisara bear are males."
Utopia nods his head. "Well thought of Professor Gigo." Utopia said.
They hear a pebble fell and the duo stayed on guard. Utopia and Gigo turn to the source of the pebble noise come from. They see a red armored fiend on four legs watching them. Utopia recognize the fiend.
"Scarr!" Utopia shouted as he morphs to his armor jumps towards Scarr. Scarr try to flee but Utopia catches him and gets him in a headlock. "Where are you going and more importantly, why are you here?"
"To get some fresh air." Scarr said struggling from Utopia's headlock.
Gigo jumped next to Utopia and Scarr. "Some place to get some fresh air." Gigo said as he heard Scarr's answer. "I couldn't see a good place to sleep from here."
"What were you really here for?" Utopia ask Scarr, "To spy on us? To listen to our conversation about the tablet? Be quick answer my question because my friend is very impatient." At that point, Gigo's claws sprout out.
"Okay! Okay! I'll talk." Scarr said as Gigo starts walking up to him. "Just let me go!" Utopia let Scarr go as Gigo retracts his claws and Scarr face the duo. "I was actually delivering a message to Brron in these mountains to tell him his other forces are arriving from the wastelands."
"Brron?" Utopia said, "He's here?"
"Yes." Scarr said, "After failing to get the apprentice of the Dark Magician from you, Brron decided to go over the mountains and "claim" that you kidnapped and molested her to the Council of the Six Attributes . But since she got "killed" by the Invader of Darkness, you get double screwed."
"So Brron doesn't know yet." Utopia said as he and Gigo know as Mana's true dilemma, "Where is he?"
"He's somewhere around these mountains." Scarr explained, "But he said that before he get out of these mountains, he's going to pay Van'Dalgyon and Infernal Flame Emperor a visit."
"The Infernal Flame Emperor?" Gigo said, "He's here too?" Scarr nods his head. "The Fires of Hell himself." Scarr said.
Gigo turns to Utopia. "Utopia, the Infernal Flame Emperor is obsessive about his power." Gigo said, "He wants to burn everything. He wants to turn everything to a burning, barren hell. The only thing that stopping him was the council. So ever since then, he bide his time to kill important people close to the council so when he strikes again, no one can stop him."
Utopia turns to Scarr. "So why the battling in the mountains?" Utopia ask.
"The Fires of Hell wants no witnesses of Mana's presence in these parts so he and some of his best minions are going to burn the wasteland of all living beings. But with my lord's plan getting out of the wastelands is somehow heard, Infernal Flame Emperor is taking no chances." Scarr said with shivers in his body.
Utopia turn to Gigo. "So when Van'Dalgyon heard that the Infernal Flame Emperor is coming, he's probably not going down without a fight due to his dragon heritage."
"So full force strike on the Infernal Flame Emperor and his minions from the dragon and Dark World sides. Complete recipe for complete chaos."
"Yep." Utopia said, "But it isn't complete chaos until we're add to the mix."
"What do mean?" Gigo asked, "We'll be out of that mess by the time it starts."
"Actually," Scarr said as Utopia and Gigo turn to him, "The way you're both walking, you both are going to be in the middle of it."
"You're saying it already started and if we continue on the mountain trail, we might be in the battle?" Gigo asked. Scarr shakes his head and Gigo curses under his breath.
"Gigo, we have no choice." Utopia said, "It's sink or swim. And to be honest, I'm done running. If the Invader of Darkness will continue on his threats of his so called "order", I will stand and fight for life."
Gigo smiles. "You know Jake, remember what I said before I join your quest?" Gigo said, "I will fight with you to the end as an ally."
Utopia turns to Scarr. "Will you lead the way?"
Scarr just grunts and walks to the path. Utopia and Gigo followed. The trio of travelers walk for a while until they smell smoke and burning flesh.
This smoke, Utopia thought, The smoke smells like those Solar Flare Dragons.
They turn in a corner and surprise what they say. The trail gets bigger but it got turned to a battlefield of smoke. They see Dark World fiends and Dragon Troops getting burn by Solar Flare Dragons on one part and in another part, Solar Flare Dragons were getting slaughtered by Dragon Troops and Dark World troops. Despite the leaders of each faction are not seen, Brron mad laughing is heard.
"Can I go?" Scarr shivered as he sees the scene of battle. Utopia shakes his head and Scarr leaves.
"So Jake," Gigo said as his claws sprout out, "This is the point of no return. It's do or die."
Utopia nods and pulls out two of his blades. "Lets do this Gigo." Utopia said as he and Gigo charge towards the battle.
Near the edge of the battle, Invader of Darkness watches the battle from a mountain spike. He notices Utopia and Gigo charging towards crossfire. So the Ordinary choose his decision. thought Invader of Darkness, And that mechanical reptile warrior. He's the partner of the once well known Marauding Captain. No matter, I'll add two more targets to my kill list. No one will disturb my perfect utopia. At that moment, Invader of Darkness jumps from his viewing point and near the battle.
