Jul 08, 2022:
Hello, everyone! Hope you had a nice day!
So... I was supposed to post this chapter last week but... stuff happened irl, plus I noticed some things that I wanted to add, so I rewrote like half this chapter, and took almost all week. What is it? You'll see.
So, here it is the next chapter of the fanfic. Nothing much to say, so here it is :3
Chapter 75: The Test of Focus…and the Mysterious Dreams.
Alan woke up. He had a good night sleep and he was ready for the day to start. The night was chilly, and the sun haven raised yet, but will do so on a few minutes. It was the perfect time for a run. And he needed it.
'Last day of training…and tomorrow… my fight.' Alan thought, as he looked through the window, and smiled. He still has one more challenge to do.
…and he was ready.
He slowly walked to the door, and closed it behind him, exiting his room. He wanted to run for a few minutes before the day started, so he will be ready.
However, as he was walking towards the stairs to go to the first floor…
"Oh hey, it's my future slave."
Suddenly, Alan stopped and turned to look at one side and saw, at the end of the hallway, that redhead dragon girl that Alan and Dinara meet a few days ago. She was…however, wearing only a towel around her body.
"What's is wrong, Dovahkiin? Too scared to talk to me?" asked the redhead, as she stood in front of Alan.
"…just surprised, since you are, well… on a towel." Alan responded, trying to get over his surprise. "Zaaki, right?"
"MASTER Zaaki for you, Dovahkiin."
"I haven't lost the battle."
"Oh, but you will. Tomorrow we will battle, and after I beat you, I will make you my slave!"
Alan looked at her, his face mostly emotionless.
"Why did you challenged me?" Alan asked, causing Zaaki to look at him with some surprise.
"What? Are you getting scared?"
"No. I just want to know. If you think I am a weakling…why challenge me?"
"I have my reasons, mortal. You will not understand the-"
"…you want to get back at Dinara, right?"
Zaaki stopped, and looked at him.
"…so?" She asked.
"Why? Do you hate her so much?" Alan asked in confusion.
"… you will not understand."
"Obviously I don't. So I can only think of what you have in mind. For what I have heard, you and Dinara have a rivalry, right? So…you want to get back at her? Do you want to 'take me' from her side?"
"Like I said, you will not understand. And I do not NEED to explain it to you. Tomorrow, I will beat you, and then, you will be mine!"
"… Like I will lose to you!" Alan exclaimed with determination. "I have a mission to do, and many people depend on me! I will not be anyone's slave!"
"Big words for a weak Spirituel." Zaaki said, as she began to walk away. "You better train hard, kid! You will need ALL of it tomorrow!"
And with that, Zaaki walked away, and Alan only saw her retreating form. He clenched his fist, now more determinate to become stronger. Tomorrow… they will settle this.
The sun just raised, and the air was still a bit chilly.
Alan was in the middle of the garden. He was practicing some Karate moves he learned on Earth to warm up. He wanted to be ready for anything.
"G-Good morning, M-Mister Dovahkiin."
Alan stopped as he looked back. He was so concentrated in his thoughts he didn't sensed the presence of the girl behind him. She was one of the Dragon Maids, the shy one with dark outfit and light blond-silver hair.
"Uh?" Alan asked, not remembering her name. "Ah, Good morning…?"
"Ah, my n-name is Emra, Mister." The girl responded. She was as tall as him but was VERY shy.
"Ah, yes, Emra. Sorry about that, I'm bad at names." Alan said, as he scratched the back of his head. "Can I help you?"
"Ah, w-well, I am h-here to help you today." She responded.
"Oh, so you are here to keep an eye on me, eh?"
"Y-yes!" she responded again. "M-miss Hazuki w-will come in a few minutes, s-so she send me here to g-greet you."
"I see." Alan said, looking at her. Like the rest of the Dragon Maids, she was quite busty, but her maid uniform hides it a bit better. Still, he could notice them. "So… what id your role in the mansion?"
"Eh? Role?" She asked in confusion.
"Yeah. I noticed many of those. Corein's role is the kitchen, Omari's role is being the nurse, Tori's role is being the maid in the main room, and Brea's role is being the laundry one. What is yours?"
"Ah, well, I-I'm the one who c-cleans the rooms." Emra responded.
"Ah, so you're the one who is the busiest, eh?"
"K-Kinda. Tori and Omari help me too, so it's not too hard."
"Oh, that's good." Alan responded, smiling a bit. This caused Emra to blush and look away, something that he noticed. "Uh, something wrong?"
"N-Nothing!" she expressed shyly. "I-It's just… n-never meet a-another male…b-besides M-Master Escamut."
"Oh, really? So, you don't go out of this place?"
"N-not really. The other girls do go to other places, b-but not me."
"Oh, so they DO go out, eh?"
"O-only a few times. A-after all, we need supplies."
"…point taken."
"S-so, it's the second time t-to see a male. Y-you, who are h-human… it's kind of… rare."
"I see." Alan responded. "Well, want to ask me something?"
"Aa-ah? C-can I?" Emra asked in confusion.
"Yeah! Feel free to ask anything. The other girls asked me about other stuff, so I expect you want to know more, right?"
"A-ah, well… I-I do have questions… about your world…"
Alan smiled, as he knew she wanted to know a bit more of him.
Some minutes passed, and Alan explained some things from his world, that she found fascinating.
"So, these 'ships' are made of metal? How do they float?" Emra asked in confusion. "Metal should sink, right?"
"Normally, but it's because of how they are build." Alan responded. "Because of that, and a few pockets of air, a metal ship CAN sail. There are other things at work for a metal ship to float, but I do not know the specifics."
"I-I see. You civilization uses metal so much, right? Metal Ships, metal carriages, metal homes…"
"Metal AND glass. Here." Alan said, as he took out his cellphone to show her some buildings from his home. Seeing them, her eyes wide open.
"Wow! They look SO different from ours! And so tall!"
"Yeah, this is a building in our world. This one is a department building, so people live in there."
"Are they like…mansions?"
"Well, compared to what people in this world have, you could consider them mansions."
"I wonder how they would look inside."
Alan smiled, as he continued showing her some other buildings and places from his home. He did the same to the other Dragon girls, and they were surprised.
"I bet there isn't any place in this world that looks like this, right?" Alan asked.
"Well, that is true but… not sure about that." Emra responded.
"Uh? What do you mean?"
"W-while we do not have buildings like this, there is a rumor that a Clan has a city similar to this one."
"What? Really? Who?"
"The Machine Clan." Emra responded. "They are said to live on the far west, in their hidden city. However, no one knows of them or have send them. The Machine Clan is VERY reserved. No one have send them in ages, but rumor says they live in a large city, with large towers that look like huge white obelisks, and flying carriages floating around it."
"Large towers? Flying carriages? Sounds like a futuristic city!" Alan exclaimed with excitement. "Man! I hope I can see it! It's been months since I saw any modern civilization, so it would be GREAT to see it!"
"Well, it's only a rumor, so…"
"Rumors are always based in reality. Even if they are exaggerated, it means there MUST be an advanced civilization in here. Man! I need to see it!"
"Oh? Why are you so excited, Dovahkiin?"
Both Emra AND Alan turned to look to their side, and saw Hasuki walking towards them.
"A-Ah, M-Miss Hasuki!" Emra exclaimed, making a reverence. "W-we were just talking about the young man's world."
"I see. It's quite interesting, right?" Hasuki asked, gaining Emra's nod. "Anyway, are you ready for the last teaching, Mister Alan?" Hasuki asked.
"My body is ready!" Alan exclaimed with determination.
"Well, I hope you are. Today, Emra will be with you to give you tips. Ask her any question."
"Sure thing! So…what shall we do then?"
Hasuki began walking towards another of the statues in the garden. This one was different: a large circle, like a huge plate, with a large hole in the middle. Inside the hole, held by 4 small cylinders, was a small dragon statue of yellow color.
"Today…you will destroy this." Hasuki said, as she pointed at the small dragon in the middle of the statue. "This is your objective. And ONLY this."
"What do you mean?"
"You see, the statue is easy to break. A weak Shout of yours could break it. However, the rest of the statue is ALSO easy to break, so the point is to destroy this small statue but NOT destroy the rest."
"So… only the small one?"
"Yes. This is a training to focus your Shout. You have learned to both increase its power and to talk to it as normal for speed. Now, you will train to focus it."
"Ahhh! I understand!"
"Good! Then you may begin." Hasuki said, as she looked at the other girl. "Emra, I leave him to you."
"Y-Yes, Miss Hasuki." The white haired girl said, as she bowed a little.
With that, Hasuki began walking towards the mansion, leaving only Emra and Alan alone on the garden.
"Alright then! Let's start!" Alan said, as he approached the statue. "Do you have a suggestion, miss Emra? I don't know… with my mouth a bit closed? Need to talk really fast? Make an 'o' with my mouth?"
"Uh…" Emra commented shyly. "I…think you first need to try for yourself, mister."
"Alright, then I will see what I can do." Alan commented, as he got ready.
Five hours have passed, and Alan was, once again, on the floor, exhausted. He was on his knees, panting hard, as drops and drops of sweat fall from his face into the floor. He looked up and saw how the whole statue was forming itself again.
"It's no good. I haven't made any progress." Alan said, as he looked at the statue.
For the last 5 hours, Alan tried everything. Screaming, talking, shouting with divergent shape of mouths, screaming from afar, from close by, whispering… but nothing worked.
"Ok… I am lost." Alan said, as he stood up. "I have NO IDEA how to do it."
"Are you giving up, Mister Dovahkiin?" the dragon girl, Emra, asked, but he shook his head.
"Never! I can't give up!" Alan said with determination. "I CAN'T give up! I NEED to become stronger! I must do it!"
The dragon girl, shy as she is, just smiled. It was the first time since meeting with Master Escamut that she saw a male dragon in person, so she found their determination interesting. Sure, he was younger than Master Escamut but…he was also good looking…
…for a human.
"But… I need some help." Alan said, as he sighed. "I can't think of anything else to try. I need to see it from another angle but… I have no idea how. Emra…any help?"
"Well… if I may…" Emra started. "You are… not focusing."
"What?" Alan asked. "But I have been concentrated on the-"
"No, you don't get it: You need to FOCUS on the statue."
"…is this another problem with words? Like yesterday when I realized a Shout is not yelling?"
"P-Probably." Emra said, as she shyly looks away. Alan blinked in confuse, as he didn't say anything that made her shy. "Y-You need to focus on the small statue."
Alan tried to think. What does she mean by 'focus'? Is it not the same as concentrating?
'Wait…' Alan though. 'Maybe… it's the Saint Seiya way? The one where one as to focus on a single point so that their world destroying attacks don't affect the area?'
He began to think. It makes sense. The test is to destroy only the statue in the inside of the other one without affecting the other one. Maybe he NEED to focus that way.
And it will help him with other stuff too.
"Ok… I think I got it." Alan said. "If it is how I think it is, it will work. Thanks, Emra."
"Ah! N-No problem!" the dragon girl expressed, shyly turning away.
Alan looked at the statue, and began focusing in one point in special: the snout of the smaller dragon statue. He concentrated on it, focusing, not seeing anything else. He waited for a few more seconds…until he was ready.
"FUS RO DAH!"
Unlike before, Alan's shout was mostly compacted, instead of going all around him. The strength of the Shout was also increased, as did its speed, and it hit the statue with great force. Alan did it. He destroyed the inner statue completely… and part of the bigger one that surrounds it, as it stood still for a short second, before it also crumbled under its weight.
"Shoot! So close!" Alan exclaimed, snapping his fingers. "Well, at least I did it better."
"Y-You catch on easily, Mister Dovahkiin." Emra commented. "Focusing on the point you want to Shout will make your Shouts more compact and fast. That way, you can attack faster."
"I understand. So, I need to focus more then."
"Exactly."
"Thanks, Emra. I will be sure to do it."
Alan continued with his training, his Shout becoming more precise, more sharp, and while the bigger statue continues to be destroyed, Alan continued his training. It wasn't long…before finally…
"FUS RO DAH!"
The central statue exploded in hundreds of pieces, while the rest of the statue only shook violently. Cracks formed on the bigger statue…but it remained standing. After a few seconds, it seemed like it wasn't affected THAT much and so… the statue stood still. Then the statue reformed the inner statue and itself.
"I did it!" Alan exclaimed in surprise. "I did destroy the statue!"
"Wow, you did it very fast, Mister Dovahkiin." Emra expressed. "I am very surprised."
"Yeah, well, I had some… training." Alan smiled. "So… now what?"
"Now you need to practice."
Alan turned back, and saw that Hasuki and Dinara were walking towards them.
"Ah, Dinara, Miss Hasuki." Alan exclaimed.
"Hi, Master Alan." Dinara expressed. "I see you just finished your training."
"Yep! It was hard to do so, but I managed to do it."
"And faster than I expected." Hasuki commented. "I thought it would take like 4 more hours, but you just finished by just past noon."
"Yeah, I got it really fast."
"Right…"
"So… now what?"
"Well, I could teach you more shouts… but it wouldn't do you good. You need to practice what you have right now, for your battle tomorrow against Zaaki."
"Are you sure you still want to fight her, Master Alan?" Dinara asked, worried about her friend.
"Don't worry, I will be fine." Alan responded.
"Are you sure?"
"Yep! No worries."
"I will have to test that." Hasuki expressed, as she walked away a bit, standing far from the group. "Dovahkiin, I want you to Shout at me. After all you have trained, your Shouts should be way more powerful. Try to make me fall."
"Are you sure?" Alan asked. "Last time I made you flinch."
"Last time I wasn't even expecting you to Shout, so you caught me off guard. Now I am expecting you."
Hasuki stood firmly, one leg in front of the other, as she extended her arms down to her side, palms open, showing her hands.
'Wait…that's the Frieza pose.' Alan though, as he remembered the alien overlord from Dragon Ball Z standing in that same pose.
"Now, Dovahkiin, hit me with all your strength!" Hasuki exclaimed. "Focus on one part and Shout! And I will make you easier to concentrate: look at my chest. Concentrate on my breasts, and Shout!"
"Wait what?! You EXPECT ME to focus on those?!" Alan asked in surprise, while Dinara almost fell backwards.
"I know it will be easier, so just do it."
Alan just remained silent and just did what she said, and just… focused on her breasts.
'Wow… it IS easier.' Alan though, and he concentrated, took some air… and shout. "FUS RO DAH!"
A complete Shout. Strong, Fast and Precise, emerged from Alan's mouth, flying at high speeds towards Hasuki. The dragon maiden got ready for it… however, when the shout hit her in the chest, it was stronger than what she expected. The Shout pushed Hasuki several meters back, as her feet skidded on the ground, creating large markings on the ground. The front part of her maid uniform exploded, showing a large amount of cleavage, as the rest of her uniform was mostly intact.
After a few seconds, Hasuki stopped moving, the strength of the Unrelenting Force dissipating, as silence returned to the area. The dragon girl looked at herself, noticing the damage and the distance she was send away.
"Oh my, it was stronger than I though." Hasuki said, as she pulled a little a string of her destroyed top, making her breasts bounce a little. "I must say… I am impressed."
"Uh… maybe you should… uh… cover yourself?" Alan asked, as he looked away a little.
"No, consider this a small gift for a job well done, Dovahkiin." Hasuki said, as she approached the group again. "I must say, your progress is far outstanding. Your Shout is strong, fast and precise. I placed an aura shield but your Shout still managed to damage my clothes. If you were stronger… the whole top would have been destroyed."
"Uh…yeah."
"Still, you need to train more." Hasuki said, crossing her arms over her chest. "You know how to Shout, but not during combat. That is why, for the rest of the day, Dinara will help you."
"Really?" Alan asked, looking at the white dragon.
"Yes, Master Alan." Dinara responded. "You need to fight Zaaki tomorrow, so you need to learn how to use your Shouts during combat."
"Right, so… I fight you?"
"More like…try to hit me with your Shouts." Dinara said. "The enemy will NOT stay still, so you have to Shout at the precise moment."
"Ahhh, I see, I see. Got it!"
"Great! So we will train like that for the next 4 hours until it's night!"
"Awesome!"
"But first!" Hasuki said, as she pulled a big bag. "You must be hungry, mister Dovahkiin."
"Oh! Sure I am!"
Dinara and Emra prepared the table where they would sit and eat. Alan took a seat and look at the maid who was serving, when he noticed Hasuki also sat down on another chair.
"You are going to eat with us, Miss Hasuki?" Alan asked, as Emra placed a few sandwiches in front of him.
"Sure thing." The black haired Dragon Maid nodded. "I mean this could be the last chance I could have food with you here."
"What, what do you mean? I will still continue to train here for 4 more days." Alan commented.
"Really? Did you not get it?" Hasuki asked, causing Alan to shake his head. "If you lose tomorrow, do you REALLY think Zaaki will allow you to still train in here?"
Alan was about to say something…when he started to think. That was right. If he loose to Zaaki tomorrow, he will become her slave, and she will NOT allow him to train.
"Welp, I guess one more reason to NOT lose." Alan said, as he ate the sandwich.
"True." Hasuki said, taking a bite on her sandwich. "So, Human, tell me more about your world. You told me some, but I am curious."
Alan explained to Hasuki and Emra about his world, and the marvels that he had. Earth's climate was not ruled by the Crystals, like Regno Tenebrae, so the dragon girls deduced that Alan's home world had a strong Heart, especially if it contained that huge amount of biodiversity and a technological advanced civilization at the same time. Then he explained about humans and their cities. The good and the bad, as it should be taught. It was hard, since no one wants to tell their problems, but he had to speak the truth.
They continued for an hour or so, talking and passing ideas, and Alan got some pointers to use his new Shout Powers. Also, all that time, Alan had to NOT look at Hasuki directly, because her top was still open, and just a bit more and her whole chest would be exposed.
Hasuki kind of liked that attention, though.
The next three hours, Alan trained with Dinara. The young White Dragon evaded Alan's shouts with ease, and sometimes responded with some on her own, simulating a battle. Soon, the day was about to end, and the sun settled on behind the mountains.
"Well, it's all for today." Hasuki expressed. "Be ready, Mister Dovahkiin, cause tomorrow it's your fight."
"Right!" Alan said. "I will make sure to defeat her!"
"I expect you to do it. Now, let's go inside. We have to eat."
Alan nodded, and began to walk to the mansion, following Hasuki and Emra. However, Dinara hugged him right arm and pressed her chest on it, causing Alan to look at her in surprise.
"Ah? Dinara?" He asked.
"S-sorry, it's just that…" Dinara responded. "This could be…the last day I could do this with you."
Alan blinked in confusion, before he smiled.
"Don't worry, I will beat her and be free." Alan expressed.
"B-But…"
"Trust me. I know how to do it."
Dinara just smiled and nodded, laying her head on his shoulder, as both walked towards the mansion.
Alan smiled, but in reality, he was nervous. He doesn't know of Zaaki's true power, so he should expect the worst. Still, he was sure of his strength, and he will need to rest today so he could win tomorrow.
Still, he felt a bit… uneasy.
'Man… I wish I had… more time…'
That was a wish that came from deep in his Heart…
…and was a wish that he got it…
He was falling…
By now, something normal.
The moment he became aware he was falling slowly, he knew exactly where he was. And when his feet touched the ground, the darkness was repelled, as the ground transformed, being now a large circular image of him with several elements and faces, along with several symbols that represent him.
It was his Dive into the Heart.
"I am… here again…" Alan said to himself, looking around.
He began to wonder what just happened. Last thing he remembered, he went to sleep, and the next thing he knew was that he was…there. That meant one thing.
He was sleeping.
In a DEEP sleep.
And last time that happened… he woke up in Cephiro, the magical world of Magic Knight Rayearth.
"Just like last time." Alan said to himself.
-FLASH!-
And then, several flashed happened in his mind.
It was sudden, but just after that flash, the scene changed completely. Now, he was in another place.
He was in his city… Monterrey, the place where he lived.
However, something was…different.
The buildings, skyscrapers and the huge Saddle Mountain on the east were all there but… the rest of the mountains were gone, and the floor was, not of the streets of a city, but a flat surface with a very faint layer of water, that reflected everything on the surface. It was like the whole city was transported to a flat place.
It was night, and the sky was dark. The sky was clear, with few clouds traveling from east to west, and the light of the moon reflected in the layer of water made everything very clear to see. It was a place that he has never seen before…and yet, it was… familiar.
"Where am I-"
"Ah, I see him!"
Suddenly, he heard splashes in the water, and he turned to see in front of him. In the distance, he could see two figures approaching him, running towards him. After a few seconds, they were in front of him.
One he recognized her: it was the girl that looked just like him, very similar in appearance to himself, only shorter and with a large bust size and curves.
The other one was taller, but she also seemed… familiar. She was also a woman, almost on his same height. She was also busty, probably bustier than the first girl, and her hair was long and brown, while her skin was also brown, like his own and the girl. They looked familiar… and similar.
…where they sisters? Cousins?
Wait… he recognized them. They were…
N…a and R...ya
-FLASH!-
Another flash, and he winced in pain, but it seems like they didn't notice.
"Ready for another adventure, Alan?" Asked the girl who looked like him.
"Let's go! To another world." expressed the other woman.
His head still in pain, he looked forward.
"Wait... who are y-?" he tried to ask, but he felt another headache, and then, it was all flashes of images.
Several images flashed through his mind, all of them very fast for him to understand.
The girls placing their hands on his shoulder, as he opened a portal with a Keyblade…
He alone, waking up in a grass field, by a small kid…
Went to a castle…
Fought a clown wizard on a Sanctuary, but he escaped…
Search for some pendants…
He and the two girls, running in a castle, surrounded by enemy soldiers…
Travel across two worlds…
Seven sages…
A dark wizard…
A betrayal…
The Legendary Blade…the Master Sword.
A princess of light…Zelda…and a princess of darkness…Hilda…
A large… triangle, made of 3 triangles.
The Triforce…
…along with another one…
And inverted Triforce.
…
And then… it was all bright…
His eyes opened wide in surprise, as he raised up, sitting in wherever he was. He took several deep breaths to calm himself, as he slowly but surely relaxed. Once he calmed down, he looked around.
He was in the room he used to sleep in the mansion in the Mountains, where he went to sleep last night. He was alone, and soon, Alan realized what just happened.
He had a dream…
…but not any type of dream.
…It was livid, very real, very deep.
…and he remembered he had the same kind of dream as before.
…when he went to Cephiro.
He placed his right hand on his head, as he began to try and remember.
'I dream again…' Alan thought. 'But this time… it was…different…'
He was slowly trying to remember that dream he had. He didn't remember much but he was sure of one thing:
He went to Hyrule… from the Legend of Zelda series.
…but he didn't recognize which one.
As he calmed down, Alan began to think. The Legend of Zelda had MANY different games, and many of them showed a different version of Hyrule. By now he has played only Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and A Link to the Past, and was just about to play Twilight Princess, which was the game that was about to release. However, the world of Hyrule he saw in this dream was… none of them. It was different…
…well, kind of, as there was ONE Hyrule that was very similar to that one: The Hyrule from A Link to the Past.
But he felt it was different. In some other way.
The images he tried to remember only flashed for a second, but he DID remember he meet Princess Zelda…a very busty one. Probably not as busty as Kristal, but definitively more than her original incarnation. He did remember meeting her, and trying to save her.
…and also, he remembered another girl… a 'Dark Zelda' from another world.
Someone called Hilda.
It was very foggy, his memory not really filling the voids he had, and many parts of this dream were impossible to remember. The only thing he knows was that he was traveling across this version of Hyrule, enter the dungeons, grabbed the pendants and…
…wield the Master Sword.
'Nah, can't be. I am not the chosen hero of the Master Sword. There is no way I could wield it…right?'
It was then that he decided to check his cellphone once again, and see if there were any new pictures. Last time, when he had this deep dream, several pictures appeared in his cellphone, which worked as if by magic. Those pictures where of his adventures in Cephiro, with the Magic Knights AND those two other girls that he meets in that strange Monterrey City in his dream. He wondered if there were new pictures…
… and yes, to his surprise, there were.
Pictures of some places of Hyrule. The castle, the dungeons, a picture of Princess Zelda herself (and a busty one), the Master Sword, he WIELDING the Master Sword, and of the other princess named Hilda (also busty). Also, those other two girls, the one that was like a female version of himself and the one that looks like her cousin, were there two. The EXACT SAME ONES.
Now… he doesn't know what to think.
'What the hell is going on? Am I dreaming of going into these worlds and FOR SOME REASON my cellphone is affected? Man, I NEED to ask someone!'
It was…very weird.
However… there was one thing that Alan realized in his dream.
''Wait a second… where the heck was Link?'
He tried to remember, but no, he never saw Link in the dream he had. In fact, it was like he was REPLACING Link in his quest, like he was… gone or something. He decided to check on his cellphone to see if it was true, if he could find a picture of Link, since he OBVIOUSLY would take a picture of him. But no matter how many times he searched for him, he didn't find one.
'Was…was I standing up for Link in this dream or something?'
So many questions… so little answers.
He wanted to think more of this dream, to try and remember more of it. Why was he in there? Was it something all Keyblade wielders do? Do their Hearts go to other worlds and fix things? He has so many questions…questions only a Keyblade Master could answer.
But the only Keyblade Master he knows was Master David, a retired Keyblade Master who is in the Magical Library, that by now is probably in another world.
But then… there was that other Keyblade Master he meets in his dreams.
He doesn't remember much, as it was still very blurry, but he does remember he meet a Keyblade Master in Cephiro. He doesn't remember how or when, but he did remember he meet him there, in his dreams.
…but…he can't remember who he was, or what he said… and it was driving him crazy!
'Why?! Why I can't remember my dreams?!' He thought, as he felt a headache coming for all of the thinking he was doing.
He needs to find another Keyblade Master in THIS world or meet Master David again to ask him about it…or else, he will just loose it.
He sighed. So many things to do. He now was feeling the pressure of the Keyblade on his shoulders. Not only he need to help to save this world, now he has to think what these weird dreams are and if there is a point of it. Was…something all Keyblade Wielders have to go through? He hoped these few days will help him.
He thought for a moment, but even the few pictures he had couldn't help him remember, so he gave up and laid down on his bed again. He sighed, as he went to rest again. There was still time for him to sleep, before needed to wake up.
And face his destiny…
Alan looked at the window. He woke up an hour ago, and the sun just raised in the horizon. He just had his breakfast, one that Tori brought him. Now, he was getting ready.
This was it. Today, he will fight Zaaki, the Stardust Dragon, and see how strong he truly is right now. If he can't defeat her, there is no way he will be able to defeat Exus and save this world.
This was the main reason why he accepted the challenge. He need to know if he can defeat a dragon on his own. Dinara was stronger than him, and for Escamut, he had the help of his friends and an army. But on his own? He didn't have a chance… unless he activated that overpowered form he used against Fakexus and against Ha Des. He defeated a Kaiser Dragon with his own hands in that form.
But he need to fight using his normal powers, the things he CAN use. He can't rely on a power he can't control, or has no way to use. He needs to rely on his own powers for now. That is why he need to become stronger.
Fortunately, he had some more time to train, thanks to the dream he just had.
… it was… so confusing.
'Well, at least I got some time to train.' Alan though. 'These dreams… I don't know why I have them, but every time I do, time seem to slow down on here, while I am there for days. Man, I wish to remember more of those dreams and what happened in there, so I can know if I learned more spells or techniques. It would be REALLY helpful!'
But he had no more time. He had to do it with his own abilities. He just hoped the were enough.
'They WILL be enough!' Alan though. 'If I can't beat her, I will not be able to return to my friends. I will not become the hero the people of this world wish I will become. I will… break the promise I did to the fallen warriors in the Valley of the Red Eyes. I… I can't fail!'
"Master Alan… are you ready?"
Alan looked back, and saw that Dinara was on the door, with a worried look in her eyes. He just smiled, showing confidence to make her feel better.
"I am ready, Dinara." Alan responded, as he took his jacket from a chair. "Let's go."
The white haired girl smiled and nodded, as she walked out of the room, being followed by Alan. The human looked confident.
He has too.
Zaaki, the redhead beauty, was in the middle of the garden, the same Alan used to train these last 3 days. The Stardust Dragon in her human form, as a Stardust Trail, had her arms crossed, waiting for her challenger. The Dragon Maids were already there, as they prepared the area for the battle, with the main one, Hasuki, being besides Zaaki.
Then, the mansion's doors opened, and from there, Dinara emerged… with Alan behind her.
Zaaki smiled.
"There you are, my new slave!" Zaaki exclaimed proudly. "Now come here so we can finish this!"
Alan looked at the redhead woman from the distance.
"Man…she is REALLY confident that she will win." Alan commented.
"That is Zaaki for you. She is really overconfident." Dinara responded, as she looked at him. "Are you sure about this, Master Alan? If you lose… I…"
"Don't worry, Dinara. I can't lose this fight. There is… so much in play here. For her, it's only a battle of pride. But for me… it's the future of this world."
Dinara smiled, and placed a hand on Alan's shoulder… and give him a kiss in the cheek.
"Good luck, Master Alan. Doesn't matter what happen here, you will always be… my Master."
Alan smiled.
'Man, that sounded so wrong.' He though, even though he knows what she means. "Don't worry, I will be fine. Thanks, Dinara… for everything."
Alan walked forward, while Dinara went with the Dragon Maids, who were looking from a place a bit away from where they were.
Alan stopped, standing in front of Zaaki, who was almost as tall as him. She was smiling with confidence, arms over her chest. Hasuki looked at both, as they got ready to fight.
"Are you ready, boy?" Zaaki asked.
"I am ready." Alan responded. "Let's end this."
"You bet!" Zaaki responded, getting on guard.
Alan looked at the dragon girl, and got on guard to.
"Are you both ready?" Hasuki asked, and after getting confirmation, she raised her right arm into the air. "All right then. This battle will be between Stardust Dragon Zaaki and Dragonborn Alan. The winner will be declared when one gives up or is unconscious. Zaaki is prohibited to use her Dragon form. If she does, she will lose the battle. Are you ready?"
He need to win this fight.
He has too.
"…BEGIN!"

Author Notes:
AAANNDD DONE! So...what do you think?
Well, about the training part, I guess there is no need to explain, since it was explained in the chapter itself. The Test of Focus is to help Alan to, well, focus, his Shout into a single point. He used the explanation of Saint Seiya's powers to channel that, so it was easy to understand for him. So he passed the test easy.
Now...the second part, the DREAM part... well that is the interesting one.
I plan to make a fanfic of Alan going to Hyrule, from "A Link Between Worlds", and it will set during this chapter. Just like I did with the Magic Knight Rayearth one, which I am writing, Alan will go, in his sleep, to this other world and go into an adventure. However, for that, I will have to wait to finish the Rayearth one, and then go into this one.
I will do this some times: During the main adventure, Alan will go into sleep, his Heart will travel to another world, and have an adventure in there. Once he woke up, he will have little memories of what happened in there, and the only things that are proof that he is not crazy, are the pictures in his cellphone, which show that DID happen. On this 'Parallel Fics', I will add other characters from other series, and even some of my own female OCs, the Solar Girls.
Now, for the Zelda fic, you'll have to wait for a while, as I have to focus on THIS fanfic again, and finish the Rayearth one. I hope you can wait a bit. I will try no to show any spoilers, but sometimes, because of the pictures, I will show some characters that will appear in them. Still, not too much. Habilities that Alan learn in these Parallel Fics will NOT affect the Main one, as he will not rememeber them. Still, they will be shown in the future.
Well, next chapter will be around August 1st, if I dont have other problems.
Any question, send me a DM or a review.
See ya next time!
