"I'll be going with you guys into the city," I say to Lion and Alec, "I have reasons to believe Insanity will be near the mansion."
"It is the largest building in the city," Lion adds.
"It's time," I look at everyone. Dragon Warriors, conduits, nekos, Zero, and his mercenaries, "Zero, don't attack until I give the signal."
"And the signal would be what?" Zero asks.
"When I remove the good half of Clara from Insanity." Zero nods and I move over to Cody, Joan, and Nix, "You've got the napalm bombs ready?"
"Yeah," Joan replies, "But how do you expect to set them off?" Cody snaps his fingers, creating a small, blue flame on his thumb. "Lighting it, no duh," he laughs.
"Just don't blow yourselves up." I approach Jason next, "Don't forget your mission. The giant snake that the nekos told us about is where you're going."
"I've heard," Jason replies. I look at Cole and Lucy, "My brother's going to make sure Trish won't get hurt, so promise me that you'll keep Dani safe."
"We will," Cole replies.
"Thanks." I step back from the group, "We all know what's at stake. Try to stay alive. Just 'cause I can revive you if you die doesn't mean you should do anything stupid. Once you take your assigned areas, you should help the others. This is it. The moment we've trained for. This will be our finest hour. Now, let's do this!" Everyone cheers as the portals open. Everyone except for me, Lion, and Alec vanishes into the portals to begin their missions. We turn invisible before we enter the only remaining portal, reappearing in the mansion.
Cody
Well, here's what has happened. First, we were sent through a portal that brought us to the southern half of Central City, right where the beach is. Second, we just happened to appear in some weirdo's old beach house. Third, I might lose my temper if Joan calls me 'Commander Cody' one more time. Seriously! What's with her and Star Wars? Either way, it's time to cut down some monsters. Literally. Nix teleports to the roof, where she finishes off the remaining bombs. Joan draws her nodachi while I draw my katana and set it ablaze. I cut a gash in a monster's gut as a thought hits me. The descendants of two of the worst enemies are working as a team. Joan continues to take down the corrupted with her nodachi, but I replace my katana into its scabbard and draw a pair of handguns from the inside of my jacket. I look at where Joan is and see a monster right behind her. That's when I decide to use my newest ability. I activate my relic, which causes the silver armor to form on me as I fire both guns. The monster, well, it's been turned into a pile of ashes. Thank-you, fire bullets. I toss the guns to Nix (she just finished the last bomb, so we're almost ready to defeat the giant creature that's been seen around here. And, well, we don't have to wait long for it to appear in a giant cloud of yellow gas. Damn you, Insanity. You revived the Behemoth as well.
Jason
The good thing about being on the team that needs to take the business district: the giant office buildings. Me, Cole, Lucy, and Dani are on the roof of one of them, planning our strategy.
"So, our main target is a giant snake and we have ice and lightning powers to use against it," I begin.
"And we don't know its weakness, or if it even has one," Dani adds. Cole looks at the ground far below, "That snake is directly below us." I smirk, "Then I know what I'll do. Before anybody can react or stop me, I jump off the building. A bluish glow surrounds me as I fall. Giant spikes of ice form on my back as I grow larger every second. When I finally hit the ground, I'm a Titan.
"Well, that seems like the best idea," I somehow hear Dani say. I look up to see her free-falling from the building, followed by Cole and Lucy. Then, something happens that completely amazes me: Dani unlocks her dragon form.
Blade
I walk through what seems to be the remains of the residential area with Destiny, Dawn, and Lily. I'm wearing my Reaper Armor, Destiny has her usual armor and carries a battle axe, and the nekos are using the power of the snow leopard to give them ice powers. I know we need to be careful, since there's a huge chance of survivors hiding around here. When I hear something, I draw my sword only to see that it's only a kid.
"Dawn, Lily, search the houses. Save as many survivors as you can." They nod in reply and follow the kid into a house.
"It's quiet," Destiny says, "Too quiet."
"You really shouldn't have said that," I say, keeping my sword in a defensive position.
"Why shouldn't I have said that? It really is…" As if on cue, an entire herd of ravagers and hive lords charges towards us. The usual dark aura surrounds me, "That's why."
Vio
This is how it is: seven Dragon Warriors and conduits against thousands of corrupted monsters, hive lords (and their annoying, bug-like spikers), a devourer or two, and even a crawler. Our mission? Simply, destroy them all. And I'm going to do this the funnest way I know: controlling their minds. I easily gain control of a devourer, which then uses every attack it can use on the monsters. Katara uses her dragon form to fight hand-to-hand (or rather, claw to claw) with a crawler. The other Dragon Warriors combine their powers, creating a giant, glowing tornado of red flames that incinerates every corrupted freak on that city block. I then sense a giant amount of energy, probably Trish and Amy activating their relic's armor. This is confirmed seconds later by the pain-filled screams of hundreds of monsters. Amy must've used her relic to freeze time before she (and Trish, since the time freeze doesn't affect the holder of another relic while it's at full power) finds ways to kill them. I let the devourer I'm controlling handle the monsters while I see what happened. When I finally get to the block where they were, let's just say that there's a major amount of carnage. Each monster carcass has some kind of pipe through its chest or stomach.
"That works," I say as I look at the pile of monster corpses.
"It was Trish's idea," Amy replies, "That knowledge relic is the real deal!"
"But where'd you get those pipes?" My question is answered almost instantly as the street begins to flood, "Oh." Suddenly, what seems like thousands more monsters appears, along with the hive lords, which retreated underground right after the fight started. The real fight begins now!
Wes
A corrupted monster jumps from a building, landing right behind Kayce without alerting her. It's about to attack when its head suddenly explodes. Kayce looks back at the dead monster then at me. The M-60 (Jason let me borrow it) that I fused my right arm with is still smoking. "Thank me later," I say. Kayce nods and activates her relic and her powers, the blue aura reflecting off the relic armor, giving it a creepy, bluish glow. She then levitates a few monsters then throws them into possible orbit around Mars (well, she threw them into the air. They vanished from my sight only seconds after they were tossed). Logan and Eon then do something unexpected and kinda weird. They enter their dragon forms and then fuse together into a two-headed gigantic dragon of rock and metal. Kitai isn't surprised. She's seen them working as a team like this since Ixen was vaporized. They only recently learned how to do this. Kitai looks at Autumn. Ice and fire doesn't usually mix, but she's seen Autumn and Katara do the same thing. Autumn seems to know what she wants and quickly turns into a dragon. Kitai does the same and then, they combine. The new dragon creates a ball of ice that glows like a raging inferno and launches it at a hive lord. The second the attack hits, it explodes with the force of a meteor hitting the planet. The monsters and everyone else, except the pair of fused dragons, get thrown back by the force of the blast. The last thing I see before blacking out are a pair of devourers stomping towards us.
Briar
I'm in my brother's mansion in a city full of corrupted freaks and other monsters with Lion and Alec. Oh, did I mention that the mansion is also filled with monsters and we're invisible? The monsters can't see us, but they still manage to surround us. But I'd hate to be those monsters, since Lion just turned them to dust. This, for some reason, makes Alec jealous.
"We need to get to the roof," I say, "You guys'll use the high ground for a sniping position while I confront Insanity." Lion and Alec nod before we run up the stairs. I then do something that Vio would kill me for if he found out. Yeah, I blew a hole in the ceiling. Lion and Alec climb through the newly-created opening as I continue down the hall to a window. That's where I see my target. I do something else which might threaten my life (shatter the window) and fly out, using my silver dragon fire as rockets on my feet. The second I reach Insanity, I use the device Kessler gave me. Or I would've, if Insanity didn't go invisible before I reached her. Luckily, I have the right power to counter that. Well, it's not a power, but it works. I close my eyes and sense the air currents around me. When I feel Insanity move past me, I strike, stabbing the device into her stomach. She instantly becomes visible again as we land on the roof of a building on the edge of town. She seems to black out as I remove the device, and with it, Clara. I create a portal, which teleports her back to the base before Insanity can regain consciousness. Using telepathy, I tell Katara to return to base and begin healing Clara. Insanity is soon back on her feet and ready to fight me. Bring it, you psycho!
Cody
I stand there with Joan, staring into the multiple eyes of the Behemoth. Nix aims the guns I gave her at the giant monster, but it breathes out some kind of yellow gas.
"Three words," I say, "use breath mints." Me and Joan are back on our feet within seconds, both activating our fire. Joan's fire forms the usual V shape on her back while mine creates the X shape between my shoulder blades. We both launch blasts of flames at the monster. This seems to affect it, but it's still not enough.
"Nix," I call, "Give us the bombs." Nix teleports in a cloud of black smoke and ashes and returns with the needed explosives.
"Here you go, Baby," she says. I glare at her, "I thought I made it extremely clear that you were to never call me that." By the way my fire seemed to go out of control for a second and the other fact that Nix teleported away, I guess I scared her.
"Light the fuse and throw the bomb like a grenade," I command, "Aim for the giant freak's mouth." I don't know why, but I think there's going to be an explosion very soon.
Jason
The giant snake just noticed me, but I'm still looking at the large, purple dragon that now carries Cole and Lucy. I finally focus on the snake a few seconds later (the frickin' thing is trying to constrict me). I'm unable to move as the serpent continues to crush me. Well, it releases me about a minute later after a giant ball of purple lightning hits it right on the head. I now grab the snake's blade-like tail, throwing the defenseless creature into the side of a building. Cole and Lucy keep a horde of corrupted monsters away from us as we fight the snake, using a combination of their powers to freeze the freaks into ice statues. I manage to remove the snake's tail (ice makes a pretty good blade), whole Dani uses an attack similar to an extreme version of Cole's thunder drop (she just electrified herself and keeps flying around, hitting the giant snake and causing an explosion each time). We both return to normal as the serpent lies there, unmoving. Suddenly, the snake grabs Dani in its jaws, swallowing her whole. Cole and Lucy are frantic, but I know what she's up to. About thirty seconds later, the snake explodes. Once Dani was swallowed, she waited for the right time to turn into a dragon again, ripping a giant hole in the side of the creature before quickly returning to normal.
"That was easy," she laughs.
"But your next fight won't be." We turn towards where the voice came from and see something completely terrifying: Jusdeus, Chrome, Yukio, and Alden. We watch as they turn into sinister-looking dragons and then merge into a four-headed freak of nature.
"I think this might be a bit harder to kill than a giant snake" Dani says, obviously scared.
"No, it's going to be easier than breathing" I reply sarcastically, which results in me getting punched in the arm. This battle just got real.
