Teen Dragons

"Disculpen el malentendido (Sorry about the misunderstanding)." The leader of the dark elves squad scratched his head's back part.

"Meh, no es la primera vez que pasa. (Meh, it's not the first time this happens)." Manuel shrugged.

"Te acostumbras (You get used to)." Sarah giggled.

The oldest member of the elders of the black elves placed a hand on his chest at the same time he took a step forward.

"Les agradecemos de todo corazón el que hayais venido a socorrernos (We thank you from the heart that you have come to help us)."

Once he noticed the presence of Rory Mercury, his hopes increased. "Nos honra su prescencia, señora Rory Mercury. (We are honored by your presence, miss apostle Rory Mercury)."

Rory laughed, placing her weapon on her shoulder. "No hay de que (It's fine)."

After explaining that those new beasts that had been flying around since two days ago were two metal eagles, members of the North American Union, the dark elves volunteered to bring them to the mountain where the three dragons were living.

Since the new mission was only to either scare the dragons to make them escape from their den so the fighters could kill them, Sarah didn't think it was necessary to bring the entire squad for the job. Instead, the rest of the team continued with what they were supposed to do: To register what kind of materials and elements the dark elves had to offer.

For some reason, Rory didn't like the idea of being underground, Sarah just gave her a communicator. It was then when Manuel and Ethan insisted that Lelei should stay with the apostle... but she wasn't going to accept a no as an answer.

However... there was a detail...

"It seems that the biggest dragon has disappeared. Normally they would have believed it returned to hibernate but only its children have been seen sleeping in its nest or flying..." Manuel explained as he prepared his lantern. The sun wasn't going to leave the sky soon but, as anybody would expect, the cave was dark inside. Lelei's fire magic also helped though.

"Weird." Ethan raised his eyebrow. Unlike the previous time, he wasn't carrying the FGM-148. Now it was Sarah the one doing that. "Perhaps the two younger ones have already grown up enough to be able to take care of themselves?"

"It's a possibility," Sarah commented. Since she couldn't hold the bazooka and a lantern at the same time, she was behind both her friends. "However, normally when an animal maturates, it's the younger one who abandons the nest, not the mother."

Manuel considered it for a moment, a theory appeared in his mind "They said the mother was red... it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same one you destroyed."

"If that's the case, please don't tell them it was me..." Ethan sighed.

"Whatever... ask Rory if she has watched them," Sarah ordered.

"Roger." Manuel placed his hand on his ear. After a while, he gave a response. "Nothing, Probably our preys are sleeping."

"Easier that way."

They arrived at a point where the cave divided into two paths, had they not have the help of the dark elves, it is likely they would have either chosen the wrong path or having to separate.

By the moment the elves told them they were near, Sarah ordered to turn the lanterns off to do not reveal their location to the dragons.

An elf advanced slowly. His eyes, more adapted to the night, made him realize something when she watched after the corner.

"¡No están! (They aren't here!)"

"They aren't here?" Both Lelei and Manuel asked.

Everybody would have turned on their lights again had the nest not received enough light from the exterior.

The land of the place was flat. Many weapons lied on the ground.

"Perhaps the fighters already did the job?" Ethan suggested.

"I haven't received a message regarding that." Sarah frowned. "Hey! Manu... eh?" The leader got confused when she noticed her boyfriend wasn't by her side anymore... and instead he was grabbing weapons along some elves. "Manuel!"

"What?" he turned around and asked as if he wasn't being professional at his job. "Don't you want one?"

Sarah was about to complain... but Ethan said something first. "Get me a lance!"

"Sure!"

She looked at her friend... and then she sighed. "ASK RORY IF SHE THE DRAGONS ARE COMING!"

"I did it, she says the same. Nothing to report!"

"... Fine then." She placed the FGM on a rock to have a moment to rest as she used her own communicator to ask regarding what the rest of the team had found.

Ethan crossed his arms. "Why there are so many weapons here?"

"They belong to all those heroes that attempted to beat the Fire Dragon before you... they didn't have your luck though."

"I suppose reality is crueler and, no matter how much magic those things are, fighting one of these alone without modern technology is a nightmare..." Ethan grimaced as he imagined great warriors being consumed by the flames.

Sarah, so focused on her task, received a response.

"Principally there are more diamonds here, but we found a metal that they didn't know it was titanium. If there's something more like iridium or helium 3... we're not sure."

"Roger."

Manuel approached, carrying at least seven weapons.

"Thanks!" Ethan held a lance painted with gold, it had a red gem on the bottom part and the point began to shine a little when he touched it.

Sarah raised her eyebrow when Manuel extended his hand to her, displaying a longsword with green gems and a guard shining in blue.

She didn't answer... as she quickly grabbed it.

Manuel left the remaining weapons on the floor as he analyzed which ones he wanted. In the end, he wielded two twin swords, they looked exactly the same with a guard that looked like wings. The only difference was one was green and the other purple.

Back at Arnus Hill, a certain faction of the old empire didn't feel at all comfortable thanks to the result of the war.

They weren't fools. They weren't going to attempt to continue fighting the invasion forces from the other side of the Gate. It would... no! it had been a lost cause since the very beginning of the conflict going to combat against the North American Union... it was just... that feeling. It never felt cute when your country was conquested... and when your one had been the supreme ruler of the continent for at least 800 years... the pride hurt more, much more.

It wasn't as if they had the authority, right, or power to do something about it anyway.

Piña was inside a special room, waiting for the three generals that commanded the base to have a diplomatic talking. By her side, Bozes and Hamilton couldn't stop displaying their nervousness.

Grey himself would have been inside the room had the soldiers allowed him. He demanded it because now, more than never, was his duty to protect the princess in the process of becoming a queen. In the end, he had to accept at least being outside along an American soldier.

Piña couldn't let her people suffer more... she had been failing at ensuring the peace with the North Americans... but she wasn't going to fail this time! not again!

After a while, the door was opened and four persons entered the room.

Three of them, unlike the common soldier, wore something more... civilian? it was kinda obvious for the three knights that hose clothes weren't designed for combat... the medals and all those other things were aesthetically good though.

The soldier of lower rank began to translate. "Los generales Raúl Rodríguez, Ryan Walker y Liam Morin les dan la bienvenida a nuestra base (The generals Raúl Rodríguez, Ryan Walker and Liam Morin welcome you to our base)"

Bozes gulped as she spoke. "E-Es un honor... (I-It's an honor...)"

"¡L-Lo mismo digo! (I-I think the same!)"

Piña herself did something that the maximum authority of the empire had never done to a single person, something so bizarre that the mere idea seemed the beginning of a bad joke.

She stood up and bowed. "A todas nos honra... yo soy Piña Co Lada... reina del Imperio Saderiano... (To all of us is an honor... I am Piña Co Lada... queen of the Saderian Empire)"

While her friends got surprised, they decided to do not say anything.

The soldier translator and the generals raised their eyebrows or scratched their cheeks... and when the soldier confirmed that Piña Co Lada was, indeed, her name... the general Raúl and Ryan barely managed to do not laugh. Liam shrugged instead.

Had she not been so afraid, Bozes would have demanded to know what was remarkably hilarious regarding her queen's name.

As Ryan and Raúl relaxed, Ryan gave an order to the soldier. "Tell her we're sorry and we can start negotiating."

"As a courtesy for the ladies, tell them they can say what they want first." Liam mentioned.

As the queen and her knights spoke, the soldier wrote down everything to make sure he didn't forget anything.

"They are willing to cooperate with us and give us anything we desire if we do not harm more to the imperial citizens and their towns."

The Mexican general crossed his arms. "It's not like they have other options anyway."

The American one gave a more serious face. " I hope they understand that now their territory is ours."

As the soldier explained that last sentence, anybody could notice some indignation from the oldest knight and nervousness from the youngest one. Yet, the queen sadly nodded.

"They understand, yet, they would like to govern the place under our flags."

"I don't think I would have any issue with that," Raúl commented. "However, the final word would come from the CIA, or am I wrong?" he asked as he turned to see his American counterpart.

Ryan Walker sighed. "I doubt they would have something to complain if they are this willing to be... you know."

"Besides," Liam closed his eyes. "It would take too much to get another person from outside. Perhaps we should bring them to our world so they can decide."

"Explain to her everything, soldier." said Ryan.

"Yes, sir."

As Piña received the information... got more depressed due to knowing these persons didn't have enough authority to make her the queen...

Bozes stood up.

The soldier grimaced...

"What's wrong?" asked Raúl.

"Eh... well... if I understood correctly... she wants to... offer herself... to our "king" if that ensures Piña is in charge..."

As anybody could expect, the three generals didn't take that... very... well...

"Tell her that's not possible..." Ryan commented as he rubbed his forehead.

"Nothing?" Ethan was playing around giving many thrusts with his spear.

"Nothing..." Sarah frowned and sighed. "This... this is weird..." she crossed her arms in frustration. The FGM-148 by her side.

"They must appear soon or late... hurea!" Manuel, on the other hand, slashed his two swords as if he was a kid.

The dark elves themselves were getting bored.

Yao approached to Lelei and told her something. Immediately, the mage translated.

"Yao swears she wasn't lying regarding dragons here."

Sarah rolled her eyes. "I know, the fighters saw at least one and the broken eggs are right there... it's just... boring waiting for them to appear..."

Lelei closed her eyes. "It's possible they started to hibernate outside their nest."

"But... why?"

"If they haven't obtained more enough food to continue flying, they might have decided to choose that option to wait until their supplies have bred to be enough once again."

"Are they... that smart?" Ethan questioned.

"It's a real fantasy world," Manuel commented. "It's not weird to think that's actually plausible."

"... Touche"

Sarah didn't want to leave her position... but suddenly an idea appeared... "Ethan, stay alert... I have... something to do."

"Uh... okay?" The Canadian didn't understand that order... until Sarah grabbed her boyfriend and dragged him away...

"Hey, what in the hell are you doing?!" Manuel yelled, attempting to get his ear free.

"Remember what you told me back at the base?" her voice denoted her that if there was an opportunity of us being alone you'd tell me what is wrong with you?"

"Uh..." Manuel tried his best to make up an excuse... but that wasn't possible. He decided to give up.

When they were away enough, still inside the tunnels, Sarah still didn't let him go as she asked. "So?"

"Eh... eh... eh..." he gulped. How was he supposed to explain something like this?

Sarah frowned as she was getting impatient.

Manuel's face changed, instead of displaying fear... it displayed amusement. "It's simple, your slave and I are becoming gradually into a single being."

Manuel's face suddenly changed to display rage. "Hey!... goddammit..."

He felt the hand of Sarah on his shoulder. "A single one?..."

Manuel growled and face-palmed. "Yeah... a single one... and by extension..." he sat. "I'm becoming immortal... and let's face it... it's not as awesome as it sounds... I'm beginning to think this asshole lost his sanity because of that..."

Manuel's face, again, showed happiness. "Not that I care. And remember you're going to have my memories, boy."

Manuel growled.

Sarah... suddenly grabbed him.

The rage of her voice could be compared to a hungry beast.

"I don't care what you'd do to me... JUST GET OUT FROM MY MANUEL'S BODY!"

While Manuel trembled... Emory himself didn't get affected at all. "As I said to your slave, I need a new vessel. Otherwise, I'm not leaving... and it's not like you can do anything about it.

Sarah grimaced... but everything got interrupted when Manuel heard something.

"Uh?" he placed his fingers on his left ear to hear better. "¿Qué? (What?)"

Sarah asked him what was he hearing, but he ignored her a little. "... Puta madre...(Holy fucking shit...) Entendido, ¡ya vamos! (Okay, we're coming!)

"So... the dragons finally appeared... and they are being controlled by another apostle... and she's using them to attack Rory." Manuel grimaced

Sarah growled. "Great... in the most convenient moment of them all... they finally appeared... we're not done with this. We're freeing you from that bastard, you hear me?!"

Emroy took over again. "Owww, that hurts. After all, such a great warrior you are..." he caressed her hair... which pretty much obligated Manuel to take over himself. "Ah yeah... the more we become one the more we began to feel the same... right now I want to smash the head of two dragons until I can dance over their bodies..."

"This is fantastic..."

The gotic-loli jumped inhumanely high at the same time she prepared her halberd to block a scythe. Two, three, four, five attacks blocked until Rory kicked her opponent.

She didn't like this... which made her make an order for her two pets. "¡Ahora! (Now!)"

The two teen blue and red dragons expelled their fire in direction to the apostle of Emroy.

Rory jumped backward seven times as the flames almost reached her. Immediately she changed direction and quickly moved forward. The blue dragon got knocked a few seconds when the halberd hit it on its head... yet, Rory couldn't do anything else as she also had to block another attack from the other apostle.

"¡Esta vez no tienen escapatoria! (You have no escape this time!) es mejor que te entregues de una vez. Mi maestra te está esperando, hermana. (It's better for you to surrender once and for all. My master is waiting for you, sister!)"

"¡Ni en un millon de años! (Not even in one million years!)" Rory quickly backed off jumping again as new flames threatened her.

She was used to fighting an entire army and, usually, Giselle wouldn't be a problem at all... but with two fire dragons supporting her, Rory was... kinda eager to ger reinforcements!

Jumping, blocking, and some times hitting a dragon... everything got repeated in what seemed to be an endless cycle... until Giselle herself decided to stop.

She laughed in happiness. "¡Hoy es el día en que finalmente te voy a derrotar! (Today is the day I'm finally going to defeat you!)" she raised her hand to indicate to her dragons to attack at the same time.

Rory growled and prepared herself to dodge through the air... but the strong sound of something changed that.

Both Giselle and Rory began to pay attention to... a missile. The explosive weapon advanced at an insanely high speed and, without enough time to react, The red monster got a direct impact on the head.

Almost everybody had to cover their ears, especially Giselle as the explosion happened by her side... the next thing she knew was that the headless corpse of the dragon fell over her.

"Hell yeah!" Manuel yelled. His smile became wider as the blood of the beast moved through the floor.

Sarah didn't change her serious expression, one taken down... another one remaining... she held the weapon as Ethan helped her to reload.

Rory giggled. "Just in time." she placed her weapon on her shoulders.

"May I kill the other one?! may I kill the other one?!" Manuel asked as if he was a five years old boy asking for permission to buy candies.

Sarah herself wasn't sure if that was a good idea... with the influence of Emroy, the next thing she would know was him running to make the dragon eat a grenade.

The remaining one looked at the body of its sibling with... sadness?

Sarah wasn't sure... but who knows, even a beast could have feelings.

Giselle, filled with rage, barely managed to get the dead dragon off.

"¡¿Quién-Quién se atrevió a- (Who-Who dared to-!?)"

Her eyes became wide... as she recognized someone...

"¡Tú! (YOU!)" Hardy had already shown her that face... the face of the one that had killed the mother of her two pets... the bastard human who had dared to ensure she couldn't tame more dragons from the oldest one!"

Ethan frowned as he saw the apostle pointing to him... however, he didn't say anything... or at least, anything to her. "Reload and ready..."

Giselle would have attempted to cut the head of that bastard... had the mage human didn't attack her... the next thing she knew was that, in the place where she was standing, a tiny explosion caused a tiny crater.

Giselle and her blue dragon prepared themselves to fight back.

Rory landed by Lelei's side. "Oh? what was that?"

"I also want to know... its potency is similar to a... to a grenade... perhaps even more." Ethan had his mouth open... just like the rest of the group.

"Having studied everything you gave me, I've developed my own type of magic." She suddenly started to shine in green... and a blue sphere surrounded her.

"Defense magic?" asked Rory.

"It's even more than that."... seeing Lelei smile always meant something epic... or at least that's what the North Americans have learned.

"That thing is now flying... I gonna calibrate the tracking device." Ethan commented.

Rory stepped forward. "Entonces... ¿quién se va a rendir ahora? (So... who's gonna surrender now?)" she smirked.

Yao and her friends saw everything from behind... yet, she didn't want to... was that... an apostle... controlling the dragons?... WHY?

Interestingly... Lelei moved incredibly fast! everybody got surprised when she seemed to be even faster than Rory.

The blue haired-mage cast at least 20 times the explosive spell. Giselle barely was dodging... until the 21st time, the spell hit her.

"AAAAAAAAAARGH!"

Lelei even didn't have any problem at dodging the flames of the dragon and in less than three seconds... four spells of those hit it.

The dragon fell... barely standing.

Sarah frowned as she passed the FGM to Manuel so he could aim. Ethan helped to ensure he wouldn't fail. "Don't approach!"

Giselle didn't know what was going to happen... but she could be sure of something.

It wasn't anything good.

She didn't have the opportunity to help her pet as Rory attacked her on the back and Lelei suddenly appeared in front of her and caused a new explosion. Giselle ended up colliding against a rock.

The second missile flew and even though the red dragon tried its best to get away... it got a direct hit on the stomach.

Giselle... perhaps for the first time in years... she felt... fear.

As she saw the weapon of her sister and that mage's spell near her face...

She couldn't do anything else... just give up...

If you don't understand what was that blue sphere Lelei used, well, it's the time relativity magic. After practicing more she managed to use it so she can move faster... from the perspective of the others. What she sees is that everybody else is moving slower. If you don't understand just look for the concept: Time dilatation. So... yeah, she can blow up stuff in your face and do it at an insanely high speed.

Perhaps I made her even more powerful than in the canon... I don't know.

And now everybody in the main team has killed a Fire Dragon... of course, Ethan still deserves more credit since he killed the biggest one and almost without help (or at least help that could be considered as extremely useful)

It's said the fire dragon was a mother because... well, Giselle (at least in the manga as far as I remember) used a water dragon to breed the Fire Dragon so... they aren't an asexual species so... you understand.

Rory would have started to learn English, too. In case you wonder why suddenly she can speak it.

And more about Piña, when she's about to be crowned I cannot suddenly don't make her appear.

It's amazing to think we're finally reaching the end. This is gonna be the first fanfic I finish...

Anyway, time to answer reviews:

Guest1:

Yeah, I suppose that's true. But it was something that I knew since the very beginning that was going to happen if I wanted to do the things as realistic as possible (with people speaking their own language instead of everybody speaking English. Which, in a story that happens in another place that is not United States... well, it's always is like that)... had this only going to be in Spanish, I would have made it in Spanish as the other story Amor Infantil Entre Súper Héroes...

Guest2:

Who said I don't like them?... I said that after the end I always had thought since the moment I started writing this I wouldn't be able to make something new that could be considered as good because that was never planned and I feel it would only be pointless filler chapters. Or you mean that all the others don't like the chapters anymore?... is that true? if that's the case and everybody agrees... well, I can just say it dies here and that's it.

I'm finishing this because it's my duty, my responsibility with everybody who has decided to follow the story and favorite it. Because I know how it feels when the author doesn't finish it. If I was attention addicted I would just move to another fandom without giving an end to this... even the reviews I get for this aren't that many...

It's true, I got lazy and even a block-writer case attacked me during December... but not I'm not bored and I will finish this no matter what... unless I die, of course.

I know I don't deserve forgiveness... but I never asked for it (because that actually would be pathetic). It's the readers who decide if they forgive me or not.

Perseus12:

It's not like they don't exist. Of course, they do...I just don't think I'm gonna show that... I mean, the only thing that would be interesting that crosses my mind is a single military ship taking down a whole pirate armada... but they already have planes... they would just use a bomber and that's it.

Coment9:

If you have continued reading chapters I suppose you already know they use the same weapons of today for the special region. Whatever they use to fight in our world... probably their soldiers have that iron-man like armor I saw in a magazine. With better versions of what they have today.
