Oh boy! Long chapter ahead!
Hello, everyone! Hope you are doing GREAT!
Sorry again for posting on Wednesday again. Lately I have been VERY busy at work. I was lucky to get a work where I can write my fanfic when I have free time, and that is what I was doing in the last year and so. But lately I have been VERY busy, and as such, I dont have much time to write and to upload new chapters as I had before. Heck, if this continues like this, I would probably need to extend the update date to THREE weeks, because I have ONLY the next chapter done, and started the one after it. It's getting really close.
Well, I hope it doesnt come to that.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I was looking up to write it since the time when Kuarzo appeared in the fanfic, back on the 20's. It's been SO LONG.
Well, hope you enjoy it! :D
Chapter 55: One Hope, One Sword.
Explosions…
…hundreds of them…
He felt them against his skin…
…but they were useless…
…NONE of them could really hurt him…
…except one…the White Dragon… and yet, he beat her easily…
…now…it's time…for the small flies.
The Meteor Black Comet Dragon roared in anger, as hundreds of Warriors flew towards him, their weapons ready to attack. The explosions he felt in his body were product of the hundreds of spells the magicians used against him. But his body was extremely resistant against any spell, so he pay them no attention. The warriors, on the other hand, were more dangerous.
…but still, just a nuisance.
Several warriors brought their weapons into the dragon's skin. However, none of them managed to pierce the thick scales of his body, so they caused no damage. The great dragon ignited his aura, causing his body to heat up like it was made of magma, and many of the weapons against his body immediately melted away. He then spun over himself, hitting many of the warriors with his wings or tail, sending them to the ground below.
Another group of warriors used their bows, shooting dozens of arrows towards the dragon, who used his wings as a shield to defend himself, so they also did no damage. He then opened his mouth and shoot a large fireball towards that group of Warriors. It was so fast that some didn't manage to evade it, and got hit by them, causing an explosion that send several of them to the ground.
Suddently, several mages used Spellbinding Circle to keep the dragon immobilized. They managed to capture him and hold him at bay, with Masters Premiara and Spintas using their own spells to chain him with ice and cyber chains. Meanwhile, other group of warriors flew high, before landing on the dragon and trying to attack him with their weapons, but he, again, ignited his aura, and his body again heated up like it was made of magma, destroying the spells that bind him and started to burn the bodies of those warriors. He then shook those Warriors from his body, letting them fall into the ground.
Many other Warriors and Spellcasters surrounded the great dragon, ready to strike.
"INSECTS! I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!" The dragon exclaimed, as several spheres of fire formed around him.
"Watch out, everyone!" Exclaimed The Ice Master, Premiara, who immediately knew what was about to happen.
As the dragon extended his wings and roared, he send an uncountable number of fireballs, like comets, in all directions. This caught many of the Warriors and Spellcasters off guard, and didn't managed to defend themselves. Some others did, as Spellcasters created magic shields while some Warriors raised their own physical shields to defend themselves. Still, the attack was overwhelming, and some shields, both magical and physical, broke under the pressure of the attacks.
Alan was send back several meters after he used his new shield empowered with his aura to resist the attack of the dragon. They managed to do some damage, but he was still mostly unharmed.
"Damn it! This isn't working!" He exclaimed in frustration.
It's been ten minutes since he enter the battle along with Karoita, and yet, even if it was a whole army against one dragon…it was almost useless.
"FLARE!"
A large fireball exploded on the dragon's face, and it DID send him back a few meters. Still, the dragon remained largely unharmed, much to the shock of everyone.
"No way!" Karoita exclaimed in surprise. "I used all of my power in that spell!"
"Wrong spell, Karoita." Said her Master, Premiara. "Not only is the dragon resistant to all magic attacks, his body is made of fire. Your fire spell is almost useless against him, but it DID have the strength to push him back."
"Damn it! If only my punches worked…"
"No use: his skin is too thick." Said Steve, the Skilled Dark Magician. "Kristal and Kuarzo tried the same against a Blue Eyes and it had some effect, but it was mostly useless. I believe it wont have any effect against him."
"Wow." Said Marcus, the Skilled Blue Magician. "Finally the Obelisk-like strength of Karoita is useless against something. Impressive." Karoita then smacked him in the head for that. "Ow! Hey! We are in the same team!"
"Well, if we die here, I wouldn't be able to hit you." Karoita said, before looking at the dragon. "So…any suggestions? Because here he comes!"
The Meteor Dragon, angered by the Flare spell of Karoita, was flying towards them. However, a powerful wind shot hit him in the face, causing him to lose his balance. He looked around, and saw a winged man, approaching him.
"Face me, dragon!" Exclaimed Viabray, the Elemental Hero Tempest, as he ignited his aura and dashed towards the dragon. "GLIDER STRIKE!"
The dragon dashed towards the Elemental Hero, and both Spirituels crashed in the sky, creating a large explosion. As their battle continued, the spellcasters looked at the situation at hand.
"Our spells are useless." Said Duncan. "His skin is so thick, and his aura so large, none of our attacks manage to pierce him. If we continue like this, we will only lose energy."
"This is why Dragons are very dangerous." Said Spintas. "Dragon's Aura is very effective at reducing magic attack damage. Unless we can attack him directly, it won't work. We will have to use High level spells."
"That will drain our Auras too much…but it's the only way."
"High level spells?" Alan asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"You will see."
Duncan closed his eyes and began to charge energy on his staff. Steve recognized it, as dark lighting began to form around his staff, and a magic circle formed behind his feet.
"Master! Is that-?"
"Everyone, get out of my way!" Duncan exclaimed, before looking at the other 3 masters. "I hope you also risk it all, friends."
"Oh, we will." Said Strum, as he, Spintas and Premiara began to fly away from him. "We count on you."
Duncan nodded, as he continued to concentrate his magical energy on his staff. All of his ethereal energy concentrated on his staff, forming a small but powerful ball of darkness. He looked at the battle below, and saw the Elemental Hero Tempest fighting to his last bit of energy.
Tempest was powerful, probably the second most powerful of the group behind Dinara's White Dragon form. However, it wasn't enough, as the Meteor Dragon was still beating the hero, who used all of its energy but was still no match to him.
"I will not give up, dragon!" Exclaimed Viabray, the Tempest, igniting his aura to his maximum, surrounding himself with wind energy, concentrating the majority of it on his right hand/canon. "I shall defeat you! Take this! CHAOS TEMPEST!"
The Hero dashed towards the dragon, who did the same thing as him. The cannon of the Hero impacted the head of the dragon that tried to slam him, and this created a large explosion. From it, the Hero was send falling to the ground a large speed, crashing in the sands of the large desert. The dragon, too, was pushed back by the attack, send flying back even more than when Alan attacked him with his Limit Breaks back on the ground. However, the dragon still regained control of his erratic flying and stopped, shaking his head. After all, the attack of the Hero was enough to actually hurt him a little.
He was distracted…
…and that was what Duncan needed.
"Now!" Duncan exclaimed, after charging his attack for some minutes, and pointed his staff down, towards the dragon. "Take this! DARK PLASMA BLAST!"
A powerful blast of shadow energy emerged from the staff of the Dark Magician, and it flew down, directly to the dragon.
While he was shaking off the numbness on his head, the Meteor Dragon sensed something: a large amount of magical energy…right on top of him!
He looked up, and saw a dark orb of magical energy coming straight at him…and he couldn't evade it, as it hit him right in the face.
This time, the dragon was send crashing towards the ground because of the strength of the attack. A large dust cloud formed around the area of impact, but everyone could see the dragon down below. It was hurt…but he was moving, and was slowly standing up…
…but then, he also felt it.
Three energies, as big as the one that send that orb of energy, were together, joining forces. He looked up, and saw the three mages, Strum, Spintas and Premiara, all with their staves joined together, creating one dark sphere…that they send down.
"ULTIMA!"
The orb of darkness exploded in front of the mages, and a new one formed around the dragon. It soon engulfed him in a dark void, before it created a large explosion, one that shook everything in the area. It also caused some buildings in Kyushu-Ho, the Shiranui city, to collapse because of the intense shaking.
The dust cloud reached the skies. Many Warriors and Spellcasters celebrated this, as it made them see that the dragon was not invincible. However, not only Duncan and the rest of the Masters were almost drained of all of their magic energy…but the powerful roar coming from below force everyone to look down again.
The Meteor Black Comet Dragon was standing up, and shook his body from all numbness he felt. He was…mostly unharmed…except for a large burn in his left side of his face, and a couple of blood that dripped from his mouth.
"What?!" Alan asked in surprise. "All of that for only some blood?!"
"Impossible!" Steve exclaimed. "Master's technique could blow up the center of a town! And yet it did nothing?!"
"No, it DID something." Said Duncan, clenching his teeth in anger. "It did hurt him but… it's not enough. We need MORE power."
"This is…a monster!" Karoita expressed in hopelessness.
The Meteor dragon, now free from all numbness, opened his wings and looked up…EXTREMELY pissed off. He opened his mouth and charged what looked like a fireball inside it.
"MELTDOWN!"
From his mouth, the Dragon released a searing beam of hot plasma energy. It flew fast towards the group, who could do nothing to escape it…
…but they didn't have to, as the beam of fire energy was intersected by ANOTHER beam of energy…this one being blue.
Both beams continue flying in a safe direction into the sky. Alan blinked in surprise at this.
"What the-?"
"Alan-kun!"
"Master Alan!"
The group looked to their left, and they saw, flying from the ground, what could only be their only hope: The Blue Eyes White Dragon known as Dinara was flying towards them, with the 4 Mahoro Sisters on her back.
"Girls!" Alan exclaimed in joy, especially since he saw Dinara, their only hope, was ok, and now in front of him. "Are you all right?"
"We are TIRED!" Kuarzo exclaimed. "It took all of our energies to heal her."
"Yeah, but we did." Kristal said, smiling proudly. "She is ALMOST as new."
"Thanks, girls." Dinara said, as the 4 mages got down from her back. "I will try and do my best."
"We all need to do so." Duncan answered, as he summoned some bottles with blue liquid on them, before tossing them to the 4 mages. "Take these Elixirs. We will need you in battle."
"We will help." Said Kristal, as she drank all the contents of the bottle.
Soon, the 4 girls recovered their magical energies, although not at their maximum.
"We are running down of Elixirs and Potions." Said Strum. "Make them count."
"We will, Master!" Kainita said.
The roar of the Meteor Dragon caused everyone else to look down. He was flying again, and now was at their level. He looked at them with anger and hate.
"Well then, seems like he is now taking us seriously." Said Duncan, causing the young ones to look at him in surprise.
"What?! He WASN'T?!" Asked Karoita in surprise.
"Not really." Said Strum. "The true battle is about to begin."
"Right!" Alan exclaimed, igniting his aura. "We can't back down! Let's go!"
"Right!"
Everyone ignited their auras and dashed towards the Meteor Dragon, knowing it was now or never.
The battle in the skies continued for the next few minutes. The armies of Warriors and Spellcasters, along with the Elemental Heroes and the Blue Eyes White Dragon Dinara, proved to be a match for the Meteor Dragon. It was an epic battle…
…but it was still useless.
The Meteor Dragon unleashed even more power than before, and it quickly overwhelmed the heroes. It was like they did nothing to him.
The Elemental Hero Tempest was send to the ground, being hit by the dragon's tail after the hero managed to injure it, creating a small wound on it.
The Meteor Dragon and the White Dragon soon faced each other again. They tried to slam against each other with their bodies, and claw each other with their claws. However, the Meteor Dragon was stronger in almost every aspect, as he soon was winning the battle of strength against her.
Dinara, tired and hurt again, opened her mouth and released her attack.
"BURST STREAM OF DESTRUCTION!"
The blue beam of energy emerged from her mouth and it flew towards the Dark Dragon. However, he responded in kind: the Meteor Dragon opened his own mouth, and charged his own attack.
"DARK BURNING METEOR!"
From his mouth, a LARGE flaming meteor was released, and it flew towards Dinara's attack. The Blue Beam of energy and the Red Fireball impacted and began to fight for dominance. It was a relatively short battle, as Dinara's energy was, once again, really low, so the flaming meteor began to win terrain against her attack, and soon it reached her.
The resulting explosion send the white dragon flying to the ground, as she crashed into the wall of a mountain close to the valley. The Meteor Dragon was going to take this advantage and try to finish her with another attack…but suddently, someone appeared in front of his face.
"SILENT BURNING!"
Kainita, the Silent Magician, appeared in front of him, her attack hit the dragon square in his face, creating a large explosion and dust cloud. She thought her empowered attack will have some effect, especially as it was hit point blank.
However, when the dust cleared, the Comet Dragon was mostly un harmed.
"W-What? It can't be!" Kainita exclaimed in surprise, as she remained floating close to the dragon. "Even with the energy of all of my sisters, I couldn't damage him?"
The dragon had his eyes closed, as to protect them from the blast, but after that, he opened his eyes and looked at Kainita with hate and anger, directly towards her.
Then, she saw it.
In the eyes of the dragon, she could feel a purple tint. It was hard to see, but for her, it was notable.
It was a spell…
…and illusion spell…
…just like the one Alan had.
"It can't be." Kainita said in surprise. "…that is…"
"Watch out, Kainita!"
Before she could do anything, the Meteor Black Comet Dragon hit her with his claws, being hit mostly by the palm of him, but still it was a heavy hit. The Silent Magician screamed in pain, as part of her clothes were torn by the claws of the dragon. She was send flying away from the dragon, and would have hit the ground hard, if it wasn't for the quick action of her Master, who was the one who tried to warn her.
Strum caught Kainita in midair and immediately placed his right hand in between her breasts, before applying a powerful Curaga spell, as he knew that hit could have broken some bones, if not destroyed some of her internal organs. After a few seconds, Kainita tossed up some blood, but she was saved from an imminent death.
"Kainita, are you ok?!" asked Strum, who was very concerned for the wellbeing of her student. "I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you."
"I-it's the same…"
Strum looked at Kainita with confusion.
"What?"
"The eyes of the dragon…" the white haired girl said weakly. "…they look the same…as Alan-kun's eyes…back when we meet him…"
"The same as the kid?" Strum asked…before he realized what she meant. "Don't tell me-!"
"The Dragon is…under a spell… an illusion one…"
"Are you certain?"
"Yes. It looked the same as Alan-kun's. The rage of this dragon…is probably…because he is under…the effect of a spell…"
"Kainita!"
Kristal, Kuarzo and Duncan immediately approached the master and apprentice with the two girls immediately getting close to her sister.
"Are you ok?!" asked Kuarzo in panic. "When we saw that dragon hit you that hard, we though you…"
"I-I'm ok…" Kainita said, smiling weakly, as Kristal summoned a Hi-Potion bottle.
"Here, drink it. It's my last one, but I don't care!" Exclaimed Kristal.
Strum let the sisters take care of Kainita, as he stood up. Duncan approached him.
"Is she ok?" asked Duncan.
"Yes, she is. I managed to stabilize her." Said Strum, thoughtfully, as he looked at him. "Old friend…we have a problem."
"Tell me something I don't know already."
"Ok: Kainita says the dragon is under an illusion spell."
"What? An Illusion spell?" Duncan asked in surprise. "No… don't tell me…"
"Yes. She says is the same like the one that affected Alan."
"What?"
Both looked at Alan, who just arrived, and behind him were Krysopa, Karoita, Steve and Marcus.
"You mean he is under the same spell as I was?" asked Alan in confusion. "So…he right now is seeing us as enemies?"
"If what Kainita said is true, yes." Strum said. "We…are in trouble…"
"Why? Why don't you use the same spell that you used on me?"
"We can't, idiot!" Exclaimed Steve, walking towards Alan. "That spell require not only a high level of magical energy and TIME to channel all of it, it also needs that the one being affected by the spell to STAY INSIDE the magical circle! Tell me: do you even THINK that dragon will stay still for several minutes until we do the spell?"
"Hey, hey! I'm not a mage, so I didn't know that!" Alan exclaimed, before thinking of something. "Say, can you charge it in a ball of energy and then shoot at it?"
Duncan shook his head.
"We could…but it won't work." Said the Dark Magician. "A spell like that will travel slowly since it's so powerful, and even then, the skin of a dragon is so strong, that spell, that is not build to damage, will probably don't have so much effect. We need to hit him in the head, but even if we do, there is a chance that it won't work because of its skin."
"Damn!" Exclaimed Alan. "So, is it because of the skin of the dragon that it won't have any effect."
"Indeed. If only we could pierce the skin of that dragon, then we could…"
"Can you concentrate that spell in a weapon?"
The group turned to look at Chisato, who just arrived. Her clothes were torn and burned, leaving her with only her pants and some bandages covering her breasts, most to her embarrassment. But right now it wasn't time for that.
"In a weapon?" asked Kristal in confusion.
"Yes, like a sword or spear." Chisato answered, hoping to receive a good answer. "If we channel that spell into a sword or a spear, we could use it to pierce the skin of the dragon and stab him in the head. That way, the spell will go directly into his brain."
"Well…that is brutal." Said Karoita. "I like it! Let's do it!"
"Not so fast." Strum expressed. "While it's possible, it won't work, because no weapon in here could hold that amount of power."
"Exactly." Duncan continued. "For a spell to work on a dragon, even if we pierce his head, we will have to use large amounts of magic energy, not only from us, but from probably the rest of the mages in here. That amount of magic energy will be too much for any weapon from anyone in this army. They will either explode or disintegrate, even if it manages to hold some of it. It won't work. Now sword, spear or arrow will be able to contain all of this magical energy."
"No…there is one…"
Everyone turned to look at Alan, who just smiled, before summoning his Chaos Keyblade.
"I think this one will do." Alan expressed. "I don't think the Keyblade of a freaking GOD will be destroyed by the magic energies of all of you… no offence."
"Non-taken." Said Duncan. "And yes…that could work. If we channel ALL of the magic energy into Alan's Keyblade…it MIGHT work."
"Then let's work!" Alan exclaimed. "I am ready!"
"Hold on! Are you certain?" asked Karoita. "If only you can wield the Keyblade, then that means it will be YOU who will have to stab the dragon in the face!"
"That is right! It's too dangerous!" exclaimed Krysopa with concern. "Please, don't do it, Alan-kun!"
"I appreciate your concern, Krysopa." Alan started, as he turned to look at the battle. "But…I can't stay here and do nothing while he kill us in here. If only I can do it, then I will have to risk everything."
"But Alan-kun…!"
"He is right…" Kristal said, causing confusion in some of her sisters. "Alan is the only one who can do this, because he has the weapon that is needed to. I…I believe he can do it."
Alan smiled, as he looked at Kristal, who looked back at him.
"You got this, right?" asked the blondie mage.
"Yeah, I will do my best." Alan responded, before looking at the Keyblade in his hand. "I will have all the hopes and wishes of all of you. I CAN'T fail in this!"
"You better not, Alan-kun!" Exclaimed Kuarzo, as she approached the human, smiling mischievously, pressing her breasts on his arm, once again. "If you don't fail, I will let you do whatever you want with them."
"Uh…" Alan blinked in surprise, blushing a little. "Can you stop being a little pervert for a few seconds? We are being serious here."
"That's like asking her to stop breathing, Alan." Kristal said, sighing in shame. "Or Steve to do the same."
"Hey!" Exclaimed the mentioned man.
"Or you stop liking boobs." Said Kuarzo, hugging Alan's arm again. He just sighed in defeat.
"…point taken…"
"Besides, you like it."
"…I can't deny it…"
"Pervert."
"Look who is talking!"
"Anyway…" Duncan started. "You will do it, Alan?"
"Yes, I will." Alan expressed, as he looked at them with determination. "Let's do this!"
Duncan and Strum looked at each other and nodded, before they closed their eyes and placed a hand on their own foreheads.
The Elemental Hero Tempest and the White Dragon Dinara were send flying and crashing into a rock formation after both where hit by an attack of flames made by the Meteor Black Comet Dragon. Even at full health, Dinara was still no match for this dragon, although she did hurt him and damaged his skin, and also tire him. Still, the dragon was too much, and neither of her friends were much of use against him.
On the ground, Freed, the Marchless General, was kneeling, panting hard, as he was extremely tired. His armor was damaged, and has some burning marks on it. His sword, while still complete, was damaged. He looked up at the red dragon, as he roared in victory.
"He is a monster." Said Freed, as he tried to get up. "Even all of us can't defeat him. I knew dragons were powerful but… not even with the help of another Dragon we can beat him."
"But he is hurt." Said Reinhart, the Marauding Captain, who's armor was also damaged. "We managed to hurt him. He is bleeding, so we can kill him."
"But we have used all of our energy. How can we beat-?"
"Everyone! Can you hear me?"
The two Warriors looked at each other, before knowing someone was communicating directly to their minds. And it seems they weren't the only ones who heard it, as the rest of Warriors and Spellcasters heard it too.
"That is the voice of that mage Duncan." Freed commented in surprise.
"We have discovered that the dragon is under an illusion spell, and that is why he is so aggressive. Because of that, we have a plan: All Spellcasters will need to give us all of their energy, as we will use it in a powerful Dispel attack. That means that all spellcasters will have to stay away for a while."
"What do you plan to do with the energy?" asked Viabray, the Elemental Hero Tempest, as he too heard the voice of Duncan.
"We plan to pour all of the energy into the Keyblade Champion's Keyblade, as it's the only weapon that can hold all of our energy. The plan is that he will pierce the dragon's skin with the Keyblade and apply the spell directly into its brain."
"Are you mad?" asked Reinhart in surprise. "For that, he will have to get close! And the dragon will NOT allow it. He will sense the magic energies and attack the human!"
"That is why… he need protection…"
"What are you suggesting?"
"…I want you all…to become Alan's shield."
Both men looked at each other, as the words of the spellcaster dawn on them. The other Warriors also had the same look in their eyes.
"… I know I have no right to ask you so." They heard Duncan's voice. "But we can't do it. We will use all of our energies to create a spell powerful enough to affect this dragon, so we will be useless to work as a shield. Only you, of the Warrior clan, can do so. I have no right to ask you for this but I…"
"We accept."
Duncan and Strum, along with the rest of the spellcasters, were surprised by that.
"Are you certain?"
"You told us that there is no other choice, right?" said Freed, as looked in the direction of the dragon, as both Dinara and Viabray stood again and began to fight against him. "You will be weak, so it will be only us who will be able to defend him. There is no other way."
"I'm sorry…"
"Don't be! We are of the Warrior Clan! We are proud people! We will give up our lives to achieve the objective! And if we have to give up our lives to help the Keyblade Champion succeed, we will do so! Right, everyone?!"
"YEAH!" Almost all of the Warriors exclaimed in unison. They were ready to renounce to their life if necessary. There were some of them that did not, but they will also fight alongside. After all, even them were willing to give the Keyblade Champion a chance…and see if they were wrong about him.
"You heard that? The Warrior Clan is with you." Expressed Freed, now with more determination.
"As does the Elemental Hero one!" Viabray, the Elemental Hero Tempest, exclaimed, as he shoot attacks at the dragon he and Dinara were fighting. "We will help too! That is what heroes do!"
"YEAHH!" Exclaimed the few remaining Elemental Heroes, as they were tired…but their determination was never higher than now.
"What do you want us to do?" asked Reinhart, the Marauder Captain.
"Keep him busy." Duncan answered. "We will began recollecting energy, so the dragon could discover us. Keep him busy until Alan is ready. We only have one chance."
"You got it!" Exclaimed Freed. "We will give your chance! Ready, everyone!"
"Yes, sir!" Exclaimed the tired, but now determined warriors, as they all stood up and, still under the effects of the Float and Haste Spells the Spellcasters used on them, they all began to fly again, to fight against the Dragon.
Back with the main group, Duncan sighed. He knew he have just send many Warriors to their deaths.
But…there was no other choice…
"Your sacrifices will not be in vain." Said Duncan, as he steeled himself to look at his students. "Alan, are you ready?"
"I am!" Alan exclaimed. He WAS very nervous, as he was starting to feel the pressure. All their hopes and futures, and even the lives of many of them…it will be on his shoulders.
And he felt like he was holding the world on his shoulders.
…an in essence, he was…
"I'll be with you, Alan." Said Earth-chan inside his mind. "I will keep the energy in the Keyblade and give you some of mine. You take care of running. I believe you will."
'Thanks, Earth-chan…' Alan though, as he took a deep breath. "Let's do this."
Duncan nodded, and he signaled to the rest to form a circle. Like back on the Port City of Nibawen, when they meet Kuarzo, Kainita and Master Strum, the mages formed a circle around Alan, while now someone else were on the center.
"Kristal, Kuarzo." Said Duncan. "You will channel all of our energies into Alan's Keyblade."
"We'll do, Master!" Exclaimed the two sisters, as they step in the circle, facing Alan.
"Alan." Duncan continued. "Summon your Keyblade and concentrate on it, making it float in the air. Once the Keyblade is charged, you CAN'T use it until the right moment. If you swing with it, the whole energy will be released on it. Don't do it until you are on the dragon's head, you got me?"
"Got it!" Alan answered, as he looked at his back, at the short sword he had. "Don't worry, I have a spare."
"I hope it works on you. Alright, everyone, get ready!"
Everyone formed a circle around Alan, and the magic circle formed beneath heir feet. Alan's aura ignited a little, as he raised his hands into the air, concentrating on the Keyblade that began floating in the air above his head.
"Everyone! Please lend me your energy! I need it!" Alan exclaimed, causing some confusion in the mages around him.
"Why did you say that?" asked Kainita in confusion.
"I ALWAYS wanted to say that." Alan responded, as he remembered a certain Saiyan doing a certain energy ball above his head. "Not exactly the same but…it's close."
"Right… ready?"
"Ready!"
"Let's do this!" Duncan exclaimed, before he closed his eyes and concentrated again. "Now! Every spellcaster! Lend us your energy! DISPEL!"
Suddently, all around the battlefield, Spellcasters raised their hands, as magic circles appeared in them.
"DISPEL!" They all exclaimed.
From their palms, a white energy emerged and was shot into the air, in the direction where the group was forming the spell. Soon, several white orbs flew in their direction, as they began circling the spell circle, like it was a tornado of energy. Then, they were starting to be absorbed by the Keyblade over Alan's head.
"It's working!" Alan exclaimed in surprise, as he saw all the energy being reunited in his Keyblade. "It's awesome!"
Meanwhile, the dragon was fighting against several Warriors, when he felt something… a burst of energy. He looked towards where he felt that energy and saw it: a tornado of white energy, concentrating on a group of spellcasters. It was a treat.
…and treats must be eliminated.
The Meteor Black Comet Dragon roared in anger, as he dashed towards the group. Every warrior, even Chisato back with the group, saw this and acted.
"He spotted them!" Exclaimed Freed, in the air, his sword ready. "Everyone, block him now!"
"Yes, sir!"
Several Warriors madly dashed to be in front of the dragon, and used their special attacks to try and stop him. The several attacks hit the dragon in the face, stopping him, but this caused his anger, and so he blasted them with a powerful breath attack. Around twenty warriors were hit by this attack, destroying their armors and weapons, as they all fell to the ground, hitting it hard. The majority of them were heavily injured by the attack…
…some of them will never move again…
"Fuck you, dragon!" Exclaimed Chisato, who decided to leave the Crystal Team to face the dragon head on, as she was more used to fight than give energy. She was also under the spell of the mages, and so she flew towards the dragon, with her spear ready to make her Master's special technique. "SHIRANUI STYLE! PIERCING STRIKE!"
Chisato dashed towards the dragon's face, as she used her spear to try and hit him. The spear clashed on the dragon's face…
…and it did nothing.
"W-what?!" Asked Chisato in surprise, before she was almost clawed to death by the Dragon.
However, an Elemental Hero, Bladedge, a golden warrior, stood in front of her and caught the claw swipe of the dragon.
"W-what?!" Exclaimed Chisato in surprise.
"Get out of here, miss!" exclaimed the Bladedge. "The last Shiranui should NOT die!"
"B-but…!"
Before she could continue, the eyes of the dragon glow in anger, and so he applied more force into his arm. This overwhelmed the Elemental Hero, who was clawed, his armor and flesh pierced by the dragon. He pushed the hero into the Shiranui, and send both falling to the ground.
Chisato's body hurt, but not that much because the sand of the valley helped her cushion the fall. However, when she saw the state of the Elemental Hero, she panicked.
"H-hey! Are you ok?!" asked Chisato, as she stood and look at the wounds of the hero. "Oh no…"
"Brother!"
Chisato looked up, and saw one of the Elemental Heroes, Wildheart, descend close to them. He immediately kneeled in front of Bladedge, and looked at his wounds.
"I'm sorry… I couldn't do much…" said the golden warrior, as he felt his life escaped from his mouth.
"You did what you could." Said the Wildheart hero, looking at his fallen companion with sadness. "You fought as a true warrior."
"I'm sorry, it was my fault." Said Chisato. "If I didn't attack, he wouldn't…"
"Don't, Miss." Said the Bladedge. "It was my decision. I will gladly give my life to protect the last of the Shiranui. I just wanted…to have more time."
"Brother…" said the Wildheart, as he grasped the hand of his friend.
"It is my time, brother…" said the Bladedge, as he grasped the hand of the Elemental Hero Wildhearth. "But…I can't let this stay like this…please…let me fight alongside you, brother."
"Of course. We will succeed." Said the Wildheart hero, as he smiled. "Ready?"
"Yes… goodbye, my friend…"
Both closed their eyes…and the opened them, as they exclaimed in unison.
"FORMATION: WILDEDGE! FUSION!"
Chisato had to close her eyes, as the light that both heroes began to generate almost blind her.
The energy of all the mages has finally being reunited in the Keyblade, that glowed intensely in a white color. It slowly descended until Alan could finally grab it… and when he did, he felt a shock of energy pass across his body…along with the faces of every mage that pour energy into it.
"Wow…" Alan said in surprise. "I can feel…everyone…"
"That is the magic energies of all the spellcasters." Said Duncan, as he was taking deep breaths now and then, as his magic energy was almost drained. "The Keyblade now has all of them. All of those Dispel evolved into one: Dispelza, the most powerful of Dispels."
"Sweet!" Alan said, looking at the Key in his hands. "With this, I can feel I can do it!"
"Remember!" Strum started. "If you swing it, it's over, it will release all of its energy. If you make your Keyblade disappear, it will also end the spell."
"So…I will have to carry it until the end?"
"Not really. Here, I have an idea." Duncan said, as he reunited the last of his magic energy. "Magnet!"
A small orb of purple energy emanated from Duncan's hand into Alan's Keyblade, circling the Key instead of being absorbed.
"Now, place your Key on your back and let it go."
Alan did what Duncan told him, and placed the Key on his back. Almost immediately, it stuck into his back, or more specifically, the armor he was wearing below his jacket.
"Oh, so now it stays on my back, eh?" asked Alan in surprise, as he let his Key go, and was still on his back. "Cool!"
"Remember, Alan." Duncan said. "Do NOT use the Keyblade, unless you are on top of the dragon, and ready to unleash your attack. Or else…"
"I know… I won't fail…"
He was then hugged by 3 girls, being Kuarzo, Krysopa and Kainita. The three of them were tearing up a little.
"Good luck, Alan-kun!" Expressed Kuarzo, as she make sure to hug him tightly. "Just don't do something stupid and come back if you need too."
"Yeah!" Exclaimed Krysopa. "Don't die!"
"I…wish you good luck, Alan-kun." Said Kainita, also hugging him. "Sorry, but we can't join you now."
"It's ok, girls. I will not fail." Alan answered, as he tried to hug the three of them, somewhat awkwardly.
As the three of them separated from him, Alan looked at the rest…when another blondie hug him, and hard. He saw it was the first girl he saw in this world, the one that was with him since the beginning.
"…Take care, Alan." Kristal said, and he just hugged her.
"I will." Alan smiled. He really didn't want this to end.
…but the roar of the dragon wakes them up again, as they all saw how he tossed Dinara again. However, they saw that one of his wings was damaged.
He was grounded.
"He can't fly!" Said Strum. "Alan! We have no time! Go!"
"Yes! I will!" Alan exclaimed, as Kristal released him, so he managed to take the short sword he had on his back, close to the Keyblade. "I will be back!"
"I will go with you!"
The spellcasters turned to look behind and saw the blondie female paladin, walking towards them.
"I will go with you, human." The Silent Paladin, Iridia, said, her face still looking angrily at him
"I though you hated me and didn't want me to go close to you." Alan said in confusion.
"You said it before, right? This is not the time to fight between each other. The thing is, they all put their hopes on you…and I will NOT let you fail this."
"I understand." Alan smiled. "…I can't do this alone. Will you be my sword and shield?"
This kind of surprised her, but she remained serious.
"I will, only because I don't believe you can do this alone." Iridia said, as she took her own sword and shield. "Let's go, human! Behind me!"
"Lead the way!" Alan exclaimed. "Let's do this!"
And with that, both Iridia and Alan dashed towards the dragon, as their fate depended on that attack.
Meanwhile, the Meteor Black Comet Dragon was fighting against the rest of the Warriors and Elemental Heroes, managing to hit several of them. However, he soon sensed that big energy moving, and looking at it, he saw the human and a spiritual running towards him.
He was smart. He knew they have something planned, and even in his berserk state, he knew that was bad for him. And since he couldn't fly for now…he couldn't risk it.
"BEGONE, INSECTS!" The great dragon exclaimed, as he increased his aura and created an explosion of fire around him.
This explosion send everyone that was close to him flying or having to retreat unless they risk being burned. Freed retreated, but noticed that the dragon also did retreat, to create some distance between them and him.
…no… he didn't make distance between him and them…
Freed then felt the energy, and looked back, seeing how Alan was running towards the dragon. He then looked at the dragon, and saw he was doing something: several flame orbs were forming between his wings, like stars. And then, with a movement of them, the dragon released all of them, and they were send like missiles across the sky.
…towards Alan and Iridia.
"Here it comes, human!" Exclaimed Iridia, as she ignited her aura. "Prepare yourself!"
"I'm am ready!" Alan exclaimed, as he too ignited his aura.
The orbs of fire descended upon them, ready to strike them. However, both warriors managed to defend against them, by using their blades to cut through the spheres, and their shields when they had to block. They tried to advance as they cut and block the attacks…but they were too many, so they had to stop and defend themselves.
"Damn it! They are so many!" Exclaimed Iridia in anger, as she cut through another fireball.
"And WAY too strong!" Alan answered, as he also cut through a fireball, but felt his hands were starting to hurt and get burned. "If this continues, I won't be able to hold the sword and continue this way! We need to continue!"
"Easier to talk that to do so, human! Damn it!"
The dragon released other more of those spheres, as they flew fast towards the human and spiritual warrior, who were already tired of having to block them all, so they were at their mercy. The orbs of fire and darkness descended upon them…
…but they were blocked…
…by some soldiers that jumped in their way.
"What the-?!" Alan asked in surprise, as he saw three Warriors and one Elemental Hero getting hit by the flames, and falling hard on the ground.
One of the Warriors was dead, and the other two were heavily injured. The Elemental Hero, a Clayman, was less injured that the two. One of the Warriors, a Battle Warrior that looked like he was about to die, laid face up in the ground, and he looked up, looking at Alan.
"G-Go, Keyblade Champion…" Said the injured Warrior, as his body shook each time he spoke. "I…believe… you will…succeed. Go…and save…our people…"
Alan looked at the warrior, in his last moments of life, in complete shock. His face showed he was scared, extremely traumatized for what he was seeing.
…and then, in a flash, his face was full of determination, and he just began to run, once again, towards the dragon.
"H-hey! Wait!" Exclaimed Iridia, as she gave chase to him.
Behind, the fallen warrior just smiled, as his life reached his end.
Alan ran. He only had one objective: to reach the head of the dragon and end this.
The Meteor Dragon sensed this. He knew that magic on the human's back was trouble, and that he must have a plan. He can't let it happen. So he summoned even more orbs of flames and darkness, and send them flying towards the human like meteors, as his name.
Alan saw this but didn't stop. He was determinated to finish his mission. He cut all the fireballs he could with his sword, or blocked and deflected others with his shield. But once again, he was being slow down, even when Iridia reached his side and attacked the fire orbs with her sword.
Then, once again, a group of warriors jumped in place, and got hit by the rest of the meteors, falling to the ground and hard. Alan didn't stopped, and used this as a distraction to continue running towards the dragon, being followed by Iridia.
The Black Dragon was getting angrier. His attacks were being blocked by low class warriors, and the human still remained. He let out a mighty roar and summoned as many meteors as he could, and toss them towards the mortals.
Alan and Iridia were ready to defend again… but they didn't…because all along the way, Warriors and Elemental Heroes jumped on the way of several of those orbs of fire and blocked them with their bodies, being toss aside as Alan continue running.
"Go, human!"
"We got your back!"
"We will be your shield!"
"Defeat the dragon!"
"Save our world!"
Those were some of the words some of the warriors managed to say before they got hit by the meteors and being send crashing to the ground, some of them already injured and some of they end up dying. Alan continue to run, evading and destroying the remaining fireballs that the Warriors couldn't intercept. Soon, Iridia reached him and looked at him…
…and saw he was crying…
'What? He is crying?' She though for herself. 'W-why? Is this too scary for him?'
But what Iridia didn't knew was that Alan, while he was scared, was crying not because of fear…
…but because he felt powerless…
Powerless to do something, ANYTHING, for all the warriors that were jumping TO THEIR DEATH in front of him, just to protect him.
He couldn't do anything…
…because he wasn't strong enough…
'I will…not let your sacrifices be in vain!' Alan though, as his Aura flared up at his maximum, completely full of determination.
The Spellcasters, who were still tired of using all of their energy to create that powerful spell, were surprised and horrified at what was happening. They were seeing how the Warriors were making a path using their bodies so that Alan can reach the dragon. Some of them couldn't bare to see this.
The majority of the Warriors and Elemental Heroes have already jumped in front of Alan and received one of the meteors, leaving them out of combat. They were few left.
The Warrior Rahz used his body to block a comet of fire that was about to hit Alan. The warrior fell to the ground as his armor exploded and melted around his body. Fortunately, he had better armor, so his injuries weren't as big, so he did survive the attack.
"Go, champion!" Exclaimed Rahz, coughing in pain. "I know you can do it."
Alan nodded and continued running towards the dragon, that was extremely close now. The dragon unleashed a final wave of meteors towards him, but now there were no other warrior that could defend him. He was alone.
Alan stopped completely and blocked as many of the meteors that he could, and cut some of them too. His senses were on point, as he saw all of the meteors coming to him, and he cut through them.
…and then…it happened…
…his sword, a simple iron sword that was NOT designed to resist this kind of punishment, finally broke as he was cutting through a meteor.
"Mier-!" Alan managed to say, as the remains of the meteor exploded in his face, causing him to fall back into the ground.
And then, the rest of the meteors came for him.
Everyone watched in horror as the meteors came rushing towards him, and he lifted his eyes to see the meteors coming to him.
…and then, the Silent Paladin jumped in front of him.
"Not on my watch!" Exclaimed Iridia, as she began to use her sword to cut through the meteors, and used her shield to block them.
"Iridia!" Alan exclaimed in surprise.
"I won't let the hopes of everyone die in here!" Exclaimed the blondie swordswoman, as she cut and blocked all the meteors she could. She moved fast and hit with all her strength…
But eventually, she was overwhelmed…and a meteor managed to hit her on the back.
She yelled in pain, and this caused her to loose concentration, and her body began to be plummeted by the few meteors that were left. Her armor was a good one, and she had aura training, so her body didn't received as much damage as other Warriors. Still, it hurt as hell.
She was pushed back, and Alan caught her so she didn't fall on the ground.
"Hey! Are you ok?" Asked Alan in confusion and fear.
"Y-you idiot…" Iridia said, looking at him directly in the eyes, as she was resting in his arms. "You should have used that opportunity to run and get at him."
"I…"
"J-Just go! I will be fin- WATCH IT!"
Alan raised his eyes and looked up at the dragon, who was actually charging another attack from his mouth.
"Oh mier-"
The Meteor Dragon released from his mouth a searing beam of fire energy. Red as blood, and as hot as the sun's surface, it flew fast towards the fallen human and spirtuel. Alan could only raise his shield in a useless attempt to protect himself, before the beam of fire hit them…and incinerate them alive…
…
…or that is what he though, because, even if he felt the heat all around him, it wasn't as intense.
Then, he raised his head and looked in front of him, and he saw a man, in full armor, having jumped in front of the searing beam of fire energy, and he was…deflecting it.
"What the-?" Alan asked in surprise.
"General Freed!" Iridia exclaimed, recognizing how was in front of them.
It was Freed, the General, who was using his own shield to deflect the powerful attack of the dragon. Alan looked at this in surprise.
Freed used all of his strength to stay his ground. His body shook violently, his armor made noises like it was cracking under the intense pressure of the attack, and his legs seem like they were about to give in. He would have been dead by now if it wasn't because of his shield.
The Draining Shield.
It was a shield that drained the energy of the attack and gave its energy to him, increasing his power for a moment. However, this attack was too strong, and the shield was reaching his limit, as did his body.
"Human!" Freed exclaimed. "I won't be able to hold for much longer! You and Iridia, get and defeat that dragon!"
Alan nodded, knowing what he was about to do, but when he tried to get up, he noticed he couldn't because he was still holding Iridia over his lap. The Paladin tried to get up but…she couldn't.
"I can't move." Iridia noticed in horror. "My legs…they won't move…"
"Your hip most be broken or at least bruised." Alan said, noticing her struggle. "One of the meteors must have done it, but you don't feel the pain yet because of the adrenalin."
Iridia cursed her bad luck. She wanted to continue, but right now she couldn't do anything. She had no option.
"Take my blade, human." Iridia said, lifting her sword with her right hand.
"What?" Alan asked in confusion.
"Take it, before it's too late!"
Freed couldn't resist more. He was being pushed back by the attack, and the shield was about to reach its limit. He could only resist for a few more moments.
And then, the shield reach its limit…
…and a large explosion was the result.
The dragon cancelled his attack, and looked at the explosion that it caused. It was big, as even HE could feel it. He looked at the large dust cloud it created, analyzing it, looking if something would come from it.
…and it did, as Alan jumped from the dust cloud and immediately dashed towards the dragon. His blue jacket was missing both arms, revealing the arm protectors that were hidden by them, and his black pants were also damaged. Still, even if he had some burns on his body, Alan still continued his way. On his right hand, he held Iridia's blade, who was WAY stronger than the one he used before.
Back with Freed and Iridia, both were inside a Reflega Shield that protected them from the explosion. That shield was created by Alan himself, who used all of his strength to create it and save the three of them from the worst damage. However, that left Alan completely exhausted, and that was notable because his body was aching, and his running was erratically.
Thankfully, he had a Hi-Potion on his hand.
"Last potion. Thanks Kristal." Alan said, remembering the blondie mage gave it to him before he left, before he took it all down in one sip. Immediately, his body recovered, and stop hurting it. It was the last attempt. "Alright! Let's go!"
Now healed from his tiredness, Alan dashed towards the dragon, his aura flaring up at his maximum.
The Meteor Dragon saw this and was enraged. He charged large fireball on his mouth and threw it towards Alan. The human saw it coming and was about to respond…but…
"SCIMATAR SLASH!"
Suddently, the fireball was cut in two, dissolving almost immediately. Alan stopped at this, and saw that a newcomer stood in front of him: a large brown skinned man with some golden armor on his body, and a large sword that he holds on his hands.
It was an Elemental Hero: Wildedge.
And on his back was a redhead samurai.
"We will protect you, Champion!" Exclaimed Wildedge. "I am the fusion of Wildheart Calian and the Bladedge Tonas. My name is Tolian."
"We will be your shields, Alan." Said Chisato, who was on top of the Wildedge's shoulders.
"My friends!"
Alan looked up, and saw another Elemental Hero, this one being Tempest, the Fusion of Avian, Bubbleman and Sparkman.
"So you also fused?" asked Viabray, the Elemental Hero Tempest.
"It was necessary." Commented the Wildedge Hero. "Tonas is about to die, so to survive for a few more minutes, he fused with Calian. This will be…my last battle."
"I understand." Viabray nodded, before looking at Alan. "Ready, Champion? We will bring his attention to us. You strike him in the head with your weapon."
"Got it!" Alan said, smiling. "Please, give me one chance."
"We will give you one, Champion." Tolian the Wildedge expressed. "Even if it cost us our lives!"
"Let's go!" Chisato exclaimed.
Both Tempest and Wildedge, with Chisato still on his back, jump dashed towards the Meteor Dragon, while Alan did the same, just behind them. The two Elemental Heroes ignited their auras, ready to strike the dragon.
Meanwhile, the Meteor Dragon saw them and released a powerful roar, before he dashed towards the quartet to intercept them.
"Let's do it, Tolian!" Exclaimed Viabray, the Hero Tempest, as he charged energy on his arm cannon.
"For the future!" Exclaimed Tolian, the Hero Wildedge, as he charged energy on his blade. "INFINITY EDGE SLICER!"
"CHAOS TEMPEST!"
The Wildedge Hero swing his blade hard as his sword was engulfed in a golden glow, while the Tempest Hero threw a punch with his arm cannon as he was surrounded by a powerful white wind. Both were close to the Meteor Dragon, so close that they could almost touch him. Their objective was to hit the dragon in the face to give Alan a chance.
But the Meteor Dragon saw this and reacted almost instantly: he brought up both hands and…caught both the blade and the punch of both heroes with them.
"What?!"
"Impossible!"
The Meteor Dragon was struggling with the attacks of both Heroes, as they tried to push him back, but the dragon was strong enough to resist them. Sure, he had his hands busy, trying to hold both E-Heroes at bay.
…but his mouth was free.
…and he released a powerful fireball that he had been charging for a few seconds towards Alan, who was still in the air after having jump dashed towards him.
He couldn't evade.
"Watch out, Alan!" Chisato exclaimed, as she WANTED to jump in the way but she was to late to react.
The fireball flew towards Alan, almost about to hit him face on…but the human was ready.
"LIMIT BURST!" Alan exclaimed, as he used every ounce of energy he had to activate the Limit once more. He held Iridia's Blade with both hands, and charged energy on it. "LIMIT BREAK! AVAN SWORD STYLE: WAVE SLASH!"
With both hands, Alan cut the air with a fast movement from down-right to top-left. This created a wave of energy that cut through the air forward, and impacted the fireball…and cut it in two. The wave of energy followed its path back into the Dragon…and hit it in the face. The Dragon roared in pain, the wave of energy being strong enough it actually managed to scar his snout a little, but still not enough to cause a mortal wound.
Because of the attack, Alan began to fall down to the ground, as he lost all of momentum forward during his move. Chisato decided to act, as she jump dashed from Wildedge's back and landed on the ground, just where Alan was about to land. She brought her spear and rapidly began to swing it. Alan noticed this and prepared himself, as his feet landed on Chisato's spear. She then used all of her strength and swung her spear, sending Alan into the air.
"Do it, Alan!"
The human was now in the air again, and he was flying towards the dragon's face. The Meteor Dragon recovered from the attack and saw Alan flying towards him. He wanted to use his hands…but they were busy, as the E-Heroes still were using their attacks on it. He looked up…and Alan was in front of him.
"Take this!" Alan exclaimed, as he swung the blade with both hands, and hit the Dragon in the snout once again.
The blade pressed against the Dragon's skin, trying to force it's way throught it. After a few seconds of struggle, the blade managed to cut the skin, and draw some of the dragon's blood, who screamed in pain. Still, the dragon was not going to end this easily, as he used all of his strength and pushed Alan back. With a movement of his neck and head, the Meteor Dragon send Alan flying directly upwards, the movement causing Alan to lose the blade, as it fell to the ground.
Alan was send flying upward, he went several meters into the air, probably as high as a skyscraper. However, he smiled.
"Just as planed!" Alan exclaimed, as he took control of his erratic flying.
The dragon realized what Alan was going to do: he will use gravity to fall towards him, and use that strange energy on him. The Red Eyes roared in anger, as he charged another fireball…
…but he was stopped, as he felt someone hold his wings and bite him hard on the neck.
It was Dinara, in her White Dragon form, still wounded for the battle but with enough energy to resist. She used her hands to hold the Meteor Dragon's wings, while she bite him in the neck to force his head down, so Alan could have an opening.
"Master Alan! Do it!"
Alan smiled, as his ascend into the air stopped. He grabbed the Keyblade on his back and twirled it over his head, before he used a burst of energy behind him to start to falling into the dragon. He was falling, like a meteor, and he held his Keyblade with both hands, pointing it down.
Everyone saw this.
This was it…
The chance they needed.
"Master Alan!"
"Mister Alan!"
"Human!"
"Champion!"
"Alan-kun!"
"Alan!"
"DO IT!"
And he could hear them all.
"The hopes and dreams of everyone are in this blade!" Alan exclaimed, his aura at its limit.
The dragon looked up, and saw the human descending as a Meteor, surrounded by blue light.
It was…majestic…
"Take this! DISPELZA BLADE!"
And in an instant, it seemed like everything stopped. There was no sound, no movement, as everyone hold their breath. They could only see…
…as the Keyblade pierced the skin of the Meteor Dragon, directly on his head.
End of Chapter 55
Chapter 56 Preview:
Alan: Hello, everyone! Alan here! Did we did it? Did we defeated the dragon? Then..why is he acting...
Kristal: Watch out!
Don't miss the next chapter of The N-Warriors: Shadow Realm Saga: Awakening from a nightmare.
Alan: Is... is he ok?...
Author Notes:
AND DONE!
So...what do you think?
This was the climax of the battle of the dragon, and next time we will see what happened.
Yes, I made Meteor Black Comet Dragon REALLY strong, but that is for a reason. His power is 500 atk points higher than a normal Blue Eyes White Dragon, and I showed how a young one is against the mages, as many mages couldn't defeat a Blue Eyes. But that is not it: this Red Eyes is OLD, and dragons, as they grow older, they are stronger. He is not senile, so even if he is old, he can still move fast and be a strong opponent. Because of it, his ATK power is actually closer to 4000 to 4200 points, compared to the rest of the heroes. It's a BIG spike in difficuly. This is a reason why both a Blue Eyes White Dragon and an Elemental Hero Tempest are NOT strong enough to beat him.
...can you imagine what a Blue Eyes ULTIMATE Dragon would be? Don't worry, I'm not THAT sadistic.
So, this chapter will show Alan one thing: he CAN'T save everyone. You know how many heroes will collapse when they discover they can't save everyone? Well, this is Alan's case, and while he will know he can't save everyone, it will grow into an unhealty obsesion in the future.
It also shows that Alan CAN'T do everything alone. He needed help to defeat the dragon, and unfortunately, many Warriors had to give up their lives to do so. Sure, he is the key (blade Champion) of victory, but alone can't do everything.
...yet.
I hope this chapter was intense, and you felt the battle in it.
Anyway, see ya in 2 weeks!
See ya!
