This is the fight I've been waiting for. I will not waste time, but I wish to once again stress that I changed Dragon's element. Someone of his caliber can't be anything but this. For those curious I picture Zero to by now have about 2300hp. That may seem like a lot but the Satellite Admins do a lot of damage, so she needs to be that strong. Like I said, these fights are supposed to be incredibly hard.

Wave Battle: Dragon Sky

(Play Song: Fighting of the Spirit/Tales of Symphonia)

"You'll get no mercy from me," Dragon said, actually calmly. At that moment he flew past Zero at high speed almost hitting Zero. From there he flew up really high in the air to where Zero couldn't get a clear shot at him with any of her weapons.

"He's too high!" Zero shouted.

"What can he hope to do all the way up there?" Xerox asked. Almost on cue, lightning began raining down on Zero continuously.

"Whoa! What in the world?" Zero shouted as she continued to dodge Dragon's attacks.

"Just keep dodging!" Xerox shouted in response. This fight was intense, more intense than Pegasus and Leo put together, and it hadn't even truly started.

Dragon swerved higher up in the air disappearing from out of sight. A second later a ring of lightning came down around Zero, and a larger lightning bolt came down on top of Zero knocking her back and doing heavy damage.

When Zero got up she saw Dragon standing there looking right at her. It was sort of intimidating looking at him up close in his Battle form. Once again, he looked like a machine sort of, but you could tell he was alive. Zero activated a Gatling Gun and began firing at Dragon, doing minor damage. Zero took not e of that and tried to activate a Mega Cannon Battle Card, but Dragon whipped his tail hitting Zero, knocking her to the side.

"It's just like the other two," Xerox stated, "We need an opening. There's a point where he's vulnerable, we just need to wait for that moment."

Zero nodded and looked back at Dragon, who once again flew past Zero flying straight up in the air, then sending a rain of lightning down on Zero, who was forced to run around the field dodging the constant attacks.

That went of for a while, until Dragon did that same attack from before. This time, Zero rolled to the side as the ring of lightning came down so she didn't get hit by Dragon's attack. Looking at Dragon's body type, this might have been her only opportunity to get a good hit on Dragon. She activated another Mega Cannon and just shot at him trying to do some damage.

It looked like Dragon was taking damage, but still not enough. He then began charging up some sort of lightning attack in his mouth. At first Zero wondered what he was doing, but then he shot an orb of electricity at Zero. Zero dodged it, but Dragon shot another one at her, this time hitting her and paralyzing her for a second. He then used his tail again knocking her back and doing massive damage.

"Kid! Are you okay?" Xerox asked as Zero forced herself to get up.

"I'm... fine..." Zero said, "but we need to find that opening fast, otherwise I won't last too long." Zero activated a Recovery 300 Battle Card healing enough to stand. Dragon flw back up in the air and continued his pattern from before, which annoyed Zero a good deal. He just kept doing the same thing over and over, and it sucked that it was working. Thanks to that pattern Zero was almost deleted twice in this fight so far, and Dragon was still going just as strong as the beginning of the fight.

No wonder he was the last one. Pegasus was relatively easy compared to this fight, and not even Leo was unbeatable. This fight was on a totally different level, and it was clear that she wasn't expected to win.

That didn't mean she wasn't going to though...

When Dragon came down with the lighting attack from before, Zero rolled to the side and waiting for the orb of lighting attack. Zero thought about what she could do, but nothing was coming to her. She then remembered something in her past. When she was younger she went to Bud's house once and watched him play a Legend of Zelda game (yes, they still make those.) In the game, Bud had to use his sword and hit certain attacks back at his enemy. In fact, she was the one who came up with that strategy (that stupid fairy wasn't any help anyway).

Now, could Zero use that strategy against Dragon? Only one way to find out.

Dragon fired the orb at Zero, who used her Z-Saber to whack it back at him. It was slow, so Dragon was able to use his tail to whack it back, but that showed Zero she had the right idea (the Zelda fight was similar). She whacked it back at Dragon, who hit it back at her, but as this went on the blast was going faster and faster, until finally Dragon missed and got electrocuted by his own attack.

He fell down, and Zero wasted no time. She dashed over to Dragon and activated a Heavy Ax Battle Card. With that she was able to get a few really good hits on Dragon. Eventually he got up and roared at the sky sending lightning down on the entire field. Zero was pushed back and Dragon flew up to her almost hitting her. He then flew back up in the air and sent lightning down on top of Zero again.

"At least we know it worked!" Zero shouted as she ran around the field dodging the attacks.

"Yeah, but I think this attack got a little more aggressive!" Xerox responded "You're having a lot of close calls this time around!"

That was true. The looked like it was coming down a little faster. Before it ended she actually did get hit by one attack, which paralyzed her right when Dragon came down on top of her. She fell back and forced herself back up, activating a Recovery 150 to heal. This time though, Dragon rushed up to her a bit and used his tail to hit Zero, knocking her down again. It was like she couldn't keep her health over critical. At this rate she would get deleted before she could learn anything.

No! She had to know where she came from! She had to know who she was!

She forced herself back up and activated another Recovery 300 Battle Card (she was seriously running out of them) and prepped herself for the orb attack. When it came she whacked it back at Dragon, who like before whacked it back. This went on for a little longer than before, and Zero was getting a little scared. She eventually whacked it fast enough to catch Dragon off guard, and he fell back. Zero then rushed up to Dragon and began slashing at him with her Z-Saber, but stopped after a while. She jumped back and got in a defensive stance as Dragon roared, causing lightning to come down on the entire field. She didn't take as much damage, but she was still hurt.

Dragon flew past Zero, this time actually hitting her. She got up as fast as she could to dodge Dragon's lightning attacks. This around the attacks were extremely fast, and Zero was getting really worried.

"I am impressed Zero," Dragon said, "It seems I need to take you more seriously."

Wait, he wasn't going all out? That was bad. Every time one of them said that things got really hard, and Zero was already on her last legs.

Dragon flew up into into the sky and vanished. For a second the lightning stopped, but eventually the lightning started coming down in strange patterns, forcing Zero to run around the field again. What was he doing?

"DRAGON CYCLONE!" Dragon shouted. At that moment a giant tornado of electricity came down in the center of the field. At first the twister stayed stationary, but eventually it began moving around the field. Zero ran away from the giant tornado, just barely dodging it. When it stopped it went back in the center of the field, and Dragon flew into the center of the tornado. When he touched down the tornado exploded actually doing serious damage. Zero activated her last recovery Battle Card, this one only being a Recovery 150. This meant that she had to win now, otherwise Dragon would defeat her.

Dragon charged up to fire that orb attack, only this time he shot two orbs at Zero. This was dangerous. If she missed one then she was screwed. She whacked both of them back as fast as she could, Dragon doing the same. They were both going overtime, and Zero was getting tired. Eventually she moved to the side just dodging the first one, and shot the second one straight at Dragon, who was unable to hit it back. He fell to the ground and Zero rushed up at high speed actually firing a Mega Cannon at Dragon, when it looked like he was about to get up though, Zero jumped up and slashed at Dragon, piercing his armor.

"So, this is the power that defeat Pegasus and Leo," Dragon said. He then exploded, forcing Zero back a bit. When the smoke cleared, Zero saw Dragon in his EM form floating in front of her. All Zero could do was fall to her knees.

"I'm impressed," Dragon said, "My power is not insignificant, yet you were able to not only survive, but defeat me in combat as well." Zero couldn't say anything, she was too tired. She did manage a nod though, which made Dragon laugh a bit, "I have arranged for you to meet with the one who can tell you your past. You will see them when you return to the Real World."

"Wait, can't you tell us?" Xerox asked.

"I can only tell the story up to a point. This person however can tell you the entire story and take you to where you will find your answers. Speaking of which, I must give you the last link to the Star Force, assuming you can stand Zero."

After a few more seconds Zero was able to stand. From there the top part of the medallion came down and merged with the other two, completing the medallion and bestowing upon Zero the Star Force.

Or so she thought. It didn't give her any new powers, nor did she feel any stronger. Something did change within her though. That sadness came back, only this time it was almost too much to bear. Before she knew it she shed a single tear.

"Luna?" Xerox asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I don't know," Zero said, actually still crying a little, "For some reason I feel sad. Like something tragic..."

Dragon looked down, and Xerox could almost tell tht he knew something about what Zero was feeling, "Do you guys know what's happening to Luna?" he asked.

"With her body, not entirely. However, we do know exactly what is happening with her mind. This is to be expected as her memories return to her."

Memories," Zero said looking up at Dragon now, "Aries mentioned that as well, saying that I had amnesia. What does he-"

"The person who can answer all of your questions is waiting for you where you departed from. They will be much more helpful than I will. I do hope that you can forgive us when you learn the truth however," Dragon said in sadness.

That made Zero really confused, but she nodded, "Thank you Dragon Sky," she said with a bow. She then turned to leave, but before she could however...

"Tell me, Luna Platz," Dragon called out, making her stop, "How determined are you to protect your planet?"

"I'll protect Earth with my life Dragon. I promised Geo that I would fight no matter what," Zero replied.

"Would you keep fighting, even if you knew that there was no hope for you in the end?" That question scared Zero half to death. What did that mean? What did he know about her condition? "Do not answer that question right away. For now, simply worry about learning the truth of your past."

Zero nodded slowly and kept walking, both she and Xerox scared for the future.

When Luna teleported back to Earth, she had to hold onto the railings as she walked down the stairs. She felt really weak for some reason, and her vision was a little blurry.

"Kid, your scaring me a bit," Xerox said helping her get to a bench.

"I'm a little scared too," Luna said, now coughing.

"Luna, I-" before Xerox could continue though, someone walked up to their bench.

"I guess it's finally time you learned the truth," an elderly female voice said, as she walked closer to Luna and Xerox, her face was finally revealed.

Dr. Goodall...

"Dr. Goodall?" Luna said, shocked beyond belief. Dr. Goodall took her hand and helped her up. For a while they walked back to Luna's condo in silence, until Luna felt well enough to speak, "What do you know about my past? And how long have you known?"

"I know just about everything about where you came from, and you could say I was there the moment you were born," Dr. Goodall said, shocking Luna.

"Does that mean that... you're my..." Luna said, making Dr. Goodall laugh a bit.

"No Luna, I'm not your biological mother. But I was there when you were "born" so to speak."

"What do you mean by that?" Xerox said, noting the air quotes she used, "I'm a little sick and tired of the riddles and beating around the bush."

"I know," Dr. Goodall said, "But I think for now Luna needs to get some rest. Come to my lab first thing in the morning, and I swear that you'll learn the truth."

Luna was also tired of not knowing. She really wanted to know everything now, but she knew that Dr. Goodall was right, "I'll be there as soon as I can," Luna said. Dr. Goodall nodded, hugged Luna, and then walked off. Luna looked at her walk off, her heart racing.

"Luna, how do you feel?" Xerox asked.

"Ready," Luna said, "Ready to learn the truth about everything."
