Yeah, it's time to explore a new land!
Aaron's eyes opened to the blue sky, the ground felt rough under him, like it was made of stone. His vision was blurry before it cleared, the sky was bright and hurting his eyes. He put his hand over his eyes, making some shade over what could be the blinding sun.
"Ugh what happened?" Aaron asked himself
He sat himself, his head dizzy, after a second. He shook the cobwebs out of his head and looked around, he was an ancient stone platform... that was floating, kind of like the one in his dream.
With a heavy sigh, he got up and looked around.
"Hmm, either I'm asleep again or I'm awake." Aaron said thinking about this logically
He summoned his Fey Wings behind him, he blinked at this.
"Well fuck." Aaron said realizing it wasn't a dream
He looked over the edge to see the platform was floating nearby a large land in the sky, he blinked at this also.
"...Land in the sky?" Aaron said a bit confused
After a bit of staring, he shook his head.
"Aside from that, if I can recall correctly what happened." Aaron said
Flashback to previous events
"We were on the ship eating breakfast when we were attacked."
Everyone had gone out onto the deck, finding a bunch of giant birds with no ideas and giant flapping wings.
"Ah shit now?" Aaron asked a bit annoyed
Everyone drew their weapons and prepared for combat.
"It was a blur but I think. I think we tried to fight those things but we failed and somehow... we crashed."
Aaron was in the control room, trying to stabilize the ship.
"DAMMIT, WE'RE ABOUT TO CRASH!" Aaron yelled out
Then it all went black.
Flashback end
Aaron nodded at this, knowing exactly what happened.
"So we crashed here, on this island... better this than the ocean." Aaron said
He glided off the platform and onto the island before, he landed on an ancient stone path in the forest. He looked around, his wings dispelled.
"There might be people living up here, if so. Who or what?" Aaron asked
He continued to walk on, later finding himself in a stone village. With people walking around from what he could tell.
"Interesting, so it seems that there is life here." Aaron said
He then walked into the village, realizing that the people here were Draconics, as in like the one he faced all that time ago. Though they were wearing brown cloth shirts and pants rather than just a loincloth.
"Draconics are alive, never saw one outside of the crystal." Aaron said
They all smiled at Aaron, knowing he wasn't a danger somehow.
"...Can anyone tell me the ruler here?" Aaron asked
"Oh, he's right in the big building over there." One of the Draconic woman said pointing in a direction
Aaron saw what seemed to be a large capital, he nodded to the Draconic female.
"Thank you miss." Aaron said
"Your welcome dear, just be careful here." The woman said
Aaron smiled and continued on his way, waving good-bye to the woman.
He continued on his way and found himself in what seemed to be the capital, he opened some ancient carved doors which revealed a Draconic sitting at a desk doing paperwork.
"Hello?" Aaron asked
The Draconic looked at Aaron and had an amused look on his face.
"Ah, a Human. Haven't seen one of you in forever, how goes everything?" The Draconic asked
Aaron looked at the Draconic a bit confused, he sat in a chair in front of the desk.
"Good, we were just about to find and kill the Dark Lord." Aaron said
The Draconian's looked turned a bit serious and then he nodded.
"It seems you've crashed here." The Draconic said
"Yeaaahhhh, not my finest moment... or my friends." Aaron said
"You said there was more than one of you, it seems you are all on a journey." The Draconic said
Aaron nodded, the Draconic then realized something.
"Oh where are my manners? I'm Zyphus, leader of these people and... well pretty much their ruler." The Draconic said with a sigh
"Something wrong?" Aaron asked
"No... oh, yes there is." Zyphus said a bit annoyed at whatever he's thinking about
He got up and sighed, looking at Aaron with a saddened look.
"We've been dealing with some hard times, those Zu have caused nothing but trouble, if we could just kill their king. We'd stop getting attacked so often." Zyphus explained
Aaron blinked at this, he then raised an eyebrow, thinking this might be a common enemy.
"Are the Zu some eyeless birds?" Aaron asked
"Yet they can kill some of our best soldiers? Yeah, they are." Zyphus said
Aaron than grinned, he got up, having the perfect plan in mind.
"Hey Zyphus, you guys know how to fix an Airship right?" Aaron asked
"One hundred percent, we've been interested in the ancient technology around here that our ancestors stopped using after arriving up here. Why's that?" Zyphus asked
"If I kill the Zu king, will you repair Crystal Equinox?" Aaron asked
Zyphus looked at Aaron shocked, not really expecting a traveler to come in and help.
"Are you sure about this?" Zyphus asked
"I'm very sure, I've gotta find my friends, get out ship repaired, and get revenge. In no specific order really." Aaron said
"...Than it's decided, you kill King Zu and we repair your ship." Zyphus said
"Wait, can my friends help if I find them?' Aaron asked
"Why not, the more people to kill King Zu, the better." Zyphus said
Aaron nodded, going out the door soon after, Zyphus nodded.
"That boy... could he be Donovan's descendant?" Zyphus asked himself
Aaron had gotten out of the office and ran into the wild, he knew his friends were around the island somewhere He was gonna find them, get them, have the ship repaired after killing King Zu.
In all honesty, this is the weirdest anyone could deal with but that doesn't matter. Getting to the Dark Lord and killing him does.
"Gotta find them, gotta find them." Aaron said
He than heard some grunts of fighting, he looked stopped and tried to find where the noise was. After picking up on the location, Aaron shifted into his Shadow form and melded into the shadows below him. He traveled across, later finding out it was Thalia fighting one of the Zu.
"Get off me you son of a bitch!" Thalia said
Aaron nodded as he unmelded with the shadows, darkness splashing around him like water, Aaron put his hand on the ground.
"DARK SPIKE!" Aaron yelled
Dark spikes came out of the shadows around and stabbed into the Zu, killing it. Thalia looked over to Aaron and realized it was him who did that.
"Woah." She said in awe
The Zu burnt away in blue flames, Aaron got up and brushed himself off.
"Sup Thalia." Aaron said casually
"AARON!" Thalia said like it was one hundred years since she last saw him
Thalia crashed into Aaron, hugging him tightly.
"Okay, what the hell happened?" Aaron asked worriedly
Thalia had started to cry, worrying Aaron even further.
"The hell happened?" Aaron asked really worried about what happened
She kept crying into his shirt, he slowly patted her head before sighing.
"You okay?" Aaron asked, not bothering to ask what happened anymore
He was then pushed away suddenly, Thalia looking at him with a pissed off look.
"AM I OKAY? WHAT ABOUT YOU?" Thalia asked pissed the fuck off
Aaron tilted his head a little, visibly confused.
"What about me?" Aaron asked really confused
Thalia could see Aaron didn't remember the event, she brushed some tears out of her eyes.
"We crashed here... you tried to keep us safe from danger." Thalia said
Aaron than remembered what happened during that blur.
Flashback
Aaron was heavily bleeding, he had tried everything against the Zu.
"Dammit, those things are tough." Eddy yelled out
"What are we gonna do?" Double D asked
Aaron activated Blazing Soul at twenty percent, his wounds started to heal rapidly.
"We need to continue to fight, try to fly us out of here while I fight them." Aaron said as he ran in front of them
The others went to the control deck to try to fly past them, Aaron made his Fey Wings.
"Alright you bastards, I"M GONNA KILL YOU!" Aaron yelled out
He jumped at them as the swooped down towards him.
"You tried to fight them, you really did."
Aaron was hit from the side by a Zu, he killed that one as another Zu swooped in.
"But they were too much."
Aaron was sent back onto the deck, he got up with his wounds healing slowly, a bunch of Zu were flying around.
"Dammit, what are these things?" Aaron asked
He ran into the control room, blood on his shirt still.
"We've gotta fly out of here, there are too many of them!" Aaron said
That's when they heard a loud boom from below.
"One of the propellers went out!" Jonny said
Aaron heard blaring alarms as the area blared red sirens.
"Shit, put power into other propellers!" Aaron said
"Another propeller is out!" Sarah said
"Put more energy into the Descent system, we're gonna have to land somewhere and get this repaired." Aaron said
That's when they heard a gigantic boom.
"Descent system is out!" Jimmy said
Aaron took the wheel, seeing an island in the distance, he tried to stabilize the ship.
"AARON DO SOMETHING!" Tavola yelled
"I'M TRYING HERE!" Aaron yelled back
They saw the Island growing closer, Aaron gritted his teeth.
"DAMMIT, WE'RE ABOUT TO CRASH!" Aaron yelled out in anger
The ship crashed, sending Aaron out the window and onto a nearby platform, knocking him out as the others members were separated.
Flashback end
Aaron rubbed his head, feeling the phantom pain.
"Didn't remember that, guess I was knocked for a bit of a loop." Aaron said
"That wasn't even the worst part, those Zu... they're a bunch of bastards." Thalia said
Aaron than noticed Thalia's partially torn clothing, he then realized what she meant. He put on a kind smile and a dark aura formed behind him.
"Should I start killing some more Zu?" Aaron asked
"Yo-you don't, you've already helped enough." Thalia said a bit nervous now
Aaron's dark aura fade and he looked at Thalia concerned.
"...Listen, if you want some rest. There's a village nearby, you could stay there for a bit, rest and find me later when I get everyone." Aaron said
Thalia looked at Aaron silent before nodding.
"Alright, th-thank you." Thalia said
Aaron smiled and ruffled her hair a bit.
"Hey, that's what friends are for." Aaron said
Thalia looked at Aaron shocked, she nodded.
"See you when I can." Thalia said
Thalia then went off, knowing exactly what Aaron meant by village.
"One down, a whole bunch more... are the others fine?" Aaron said
He nodded, knowing what he has to do next.
Make sure they don't end up dead or worse... let's not even discuss the WORST that could happen.
