Last time…
(Basically showing cut scenes from the last episode)
"What is it you want to know?" Sakura asked solemnly, "But, before you begin, I need to let you know I may not have all of the answers." "All right," Bryant nodded, "What are you?" "It's rather complicated, and a long story," Sakura explained, "But what I can tell you is that a 'Dragoon' is a warrior who has donned the power of a legendary Dragon."
"What would he see in the 'psychic'?" Julie asked. "Psychic?" David asked. "You haven't heard? Everyone in school is talking about it. They say she uses it to cheat on tests and stuff and that that's how she got in. But that's not all. Psychic hot flashes, drawing weird stuff that comes to her mind, predicting what the instructor says before he even says it. It's totally weird," Julie explained what she heard in the gossip.
"Yeah. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have been so flaky," Sakura apologized, "But I'm glad to know there is someone here for me. And likewise to you. I want to be good friends." "Me too," Julie agreed, "We all do."
"…We need to find out the rest of the descendants' location. We must either force them to join 'Kenkaku', or choose to die." "How do you intend to find them?" Rose asked. Professor Bach walked over to his normal-sized computer. "You will go to Tokyo Tower and use its extensive satellite equipment," Professor Bach ordered, "You will put this CD in its main computer so that it will search for the 'Dragoon' descendants."
Sakura took Bryant to The Dragony to talk with Professor Drake. "Then you are Bryant Evans, aren't you?" Professor Drake asked, "It seems destiny has caught up with you as well." "Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" Bryant asked. "You are a 'Dragoon'," Professor Drake told him. "What?!" Sakura gasped, "Is that what that was?"
At the end of the battle between Sakura and Rose, Rose threw Bryant towards the pavement streets from the peak of Tokyo Tower. A mysterious circle of fire swallowed Bryant up. Sakura, Julie, and David, who had arrived there earlier from watching the news, watched on in surprise in seeing their friend disappear.
And now he is no where to be seen. Having disappeared into the fire, his friends worry as Rose watches on and laughs sinisterly.
The Legend of Dragoon Theme Song: Cruel Angel's Thesis from Neon Genesis EvangelionWe return to where we left off last time.
Bryant has just disappeared into a mystical circle of fire.
Sakura, also known as the 'White Silver Dragoon', had tried her hardest to save Bryant. She put all of her effort into flying as fast as possible. But it seemed that wasn't enough to save him.
Julie and David, who had arrived just shortly before, were still in shock in seeing all of these magical wonders, including the two fighting 'Dragoons'. They had no idea what was going on and how to comprehend it. They just tried to go along with it as best as they could.
"Wh-where'd he go?" David gasped.
Julie and David both examined the area where the circle of fire had appeared. All they saw was the city from a far. It was beyond scientific beliefs. They just couldn't believe it.
"Oh god! Bryant…" Julie cried. She was so worried for her friend. He was the first one she had met. He was so good to her. He offered her to ride in the first class passenger seating on the plane, and gave her a limo ride, and not to mention, he was her roommate. She was so afraid for him. She didn't want him to be hurt.
David had felt the same way. Julie and Bryant were so kind to him, lending a helping hand when it all seemed hopeless. Bryant was the first real, male friend he had ever had. The people from his hometown were all so mean to him, from both genders. He never really had any friends like Bryant or Julie.
Sakura, on the other hand, was hovering a bit below Julie and David. She felt a feeling that was very common to her, sadness. But this time, guilt was added onto it. She almost wanted to cry. Her eyes watered in sadness. She tried to hold it back, but couldn't. The feeling was too overwhelming. She didn't understand herself, why she was crying. Maybe it was because she couldn't catch him in time. That's most likely why she felt so much guilt. But, what about the sadness? She didn't get it. She had only known Bryant for a few days and yet she felt attached to him.
Images of Bryant's smiling face filled her head.
She didn't even want to think that he was somehow dead, or gone forever.
But, because she contemplated with herself and was not paying attention, Rose grabbed the opportunity. She spread out her wings and soared downward towards Sakura.
David and Julie both noticed and called out to the armored warrior, whom they didn't know was Sakura.
"Look out!" David shouted.
"Watch out, behind you!" Julie cried at the same time.
Sakura turned around quickly only to be grabbed by the neck by Rose. Rose just loved the idea of having her arch enemy within her grasps. To feel the flesh of someone whom she hated more than ever was soothing to her dark and evil soul. Rose saw the tears that had fallen from Sakura's eyes. That made her even happier. "Aww, what's the matter? Sad you couldn't save your friend?" Rose asked her, but in a mocking kind of voice.
"Oh no!" Julie cried, "Why doesn't she fight back?!"
It was true. Sakura didn't even struggle to let herself free. She let Rose continue to harm her.
"I don't know!" David replied. He knew he had to do something. She was the only one who could help find Bryant now. "Listen!" David called to her.
Sakura turned her eyes to David, or what she could see of him.
"You must fight back!!" he yelled, "Do you think he would've liked it if you gave up?! If you just let her win?!"
Sakura knew who he was referring to.
"Oh, shut up!" Rose yelled to him as she used her other available hand and blasted a bolt of dark energy at him, blowing him back.
"Uhhh!!!" he screamed as he flew backwards.
"David!!!" Julie cried as she ran over to him.
"Da…vid," Sakura said weakly. The air was being cut off to her lungs. She couldn't take much more of this.
"He's right," Sakura thought as she looked Rose in the eyes solemnly, "Bryant wouldn't want me to just give up. He'd want me to find him."
Rose continued to smirk as a vein popped out of her forehead. She was determined to do what she could to get rid of her opposing enemy.
"M-Moon…" Sakura began to say weakly, her voice.
"Huh…?" Rose gasped as she released her grip slightly.
"…LIGHT!!!" Sakura cried loudly, her voice echoing as the swirling crescent moons and stars within the beam fired at Rose with an intense glow.
"Aaaahhh!!!" Rose cried as Sakura had blown her back into the steel planks of the Tokyo Tower.
Sakura had her hand out, after doing the spell, and smiled slightly and weakly. Slowly her wings began to stop as her eyes began to close. That was the last of her human energy that she had. Finding the strength to do that in the position she was in was tough on her physically, and mentally. As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into the streets creating a dent around her.
The police and firemen were on the other side of the tower, so lucky for our heroes, no legal problems would occur. They couldn't see Sakura fall to the ground, lucky for her.
Rose snapped out of her weakened state and saw Sakura in hers. "Now's my chance," Rose told herself as she began to fly down towards the street, but was stopped by a blue and green glow.
"What…?" she gasped as she looked to her left and stopped. She was next to the observation deck when she saw David and Julie floating off the deck.
Julie had a blue glow around her, and David a green one. They both approached Rose slowly.
The Dragoon Reborn
The Dragon Trials Commence
Rose just couldn't move, no matter how much she tried.
It seems, just like Bryant, Julie and David were releasing their energy. So basically that meant, they were both 'Dragoons'.
Sakura slightly opened her eyes to see the event. She knew what was happening. "They're…'Dragoons'?" she asked weakly and then fell back into unconsciousness.
Julie opened her eyes. Her brown eyes changed into completely blue eyes, except for the white around them. She had no pupil, no iris. It was like she was possessed. She put her right arm up to the sky, palm facing upward.
"What are you doing?!" Rose asked. She knew it wasn't good.
The clouds came together and began to pour rain, even when the clouds were as white as ever. The rain drops fell onto Julie's palm only, for a few moments and then stopped. Julie then pointed her palm to Rose.
"No!" Rose cried.
Out of Julie's palm, a huge stream of water surged towards Rose and blew her back some.
"Aaah!!" she cried as was blown away a short distance. It still weakened her.
This time, it was David's turn. He opened his eyes, which were instead green. The wind around began to swerve. Rose knew what was coming. Without having to do one gesture, the wind picked up even more but only around Rose. Rose covered her face, tried to withstand it. Leaves from the trees nearby began to swirl around Rose like a tornado. The leaves surrounded her.
"Hey!! Noo!!!" she cried as the wind completely blew her away, literally. The wind blew her all the way across the nearby garden and off into the city. Where she landed, nobody knew.
Julie and David both closed their eyes as they were gently set down next to Sakura. The glow around them, disappeared. They both gasped in amazement when they opened their eyes again, their eyes back to normal.
"Oh my…!" Julie began.
"Did we just do that?!" David gasped.
Julie then saw the young warrior lying next to them, "Oh no!" She held her up as she kneeled next to her.
Sakura opened her eyes faintly.
"Are you all right?!" David gasped. He didn't know any first aid or anything, but he thought he might be able to do something.
Sakura smiled, "Th-thank you," she said.
"No time for that! We need to get you to a hospital!" Julie cried.
She then heard the policemen approaching the other side of the tower.
"Here come the police," David said, "They can help us."
"No!" Sakura shouted softly, "No. They can't see this." Sakura then took out her 'Dragoon Spirit'. Julie and David looked at it in amazement. Before they knew it, the star emblem that took Sakura and Bryant to The Dragony, appeared below them. The dome as well.
"Huh?! What'd you do?" David cried.
They began to lift up.
Julie gasped.
Sakura put her spirit away and was unconscious once more. That was the last of her energy.
As they lifted into the air, beams of light shot off from the warrior's chest.
Julie and David covered their eyes.
When the light faded away and they both uncovered their eyes, the weak Sakura in her uniform lied before them.
Julie and David both gasped once more.
It was Sakura, they're roommate.
"What?!" Julie asked, "She…!"
"No way," David sighed and gasped at the same time.
The emblem carried them up higher into the sky.
"Uhh…" Bryant groaned as he slowly began to awaken. His eyes went out of focus, and then back a couple of times. It made him even dizzier. He got up to a sitting position, with his knees almost tucked in. He put his hand on his forehead in pain. His eyes squinted in pain and dizziness. With that same hand, he wiped the perspiration that was coming down his face. "Is it hot in here or is it just me?" he asked himself. He got up to his feet and gasped when he saw where he was. "Oh my god…" he said.
He saw why he felt so hot. He was in the inside of a volcano. He stood on a rocky, zig-zagging sort of walkway that was lifted by some magical force. Below him was a river of molting orange lava. On the sides of the walls were special holes where lava waterfalls came through. It was actually a pretty wondrous sight. "What is this?!" Bryant cried, his cries echoing throughout the cavernous area, "Is this hell?! Am I dead?! I didn't think I was meant for hell!" Bryant felt completely discouraged.
Was he really dead? He felt his heart beating like it normally did. "Oh good, I'm not dead," he sighed in relief, "But I'd like to know, where am I?!" He then remembered his friends, the ones who tried to help him. "Julie! David! Sakura!" he called. The only reply he got was from his own echoes. Bryant then looked over towards the lava river and saw the rock way was floating. He knew that part of this wasn't natural. "Magic! There's magic in here!" he shouted. He stood, almost in a novice fighting stance. He knew if there was magic, it wasn't going to be fun. Bryant then saw the cave opening at the end of the path. Maybe he could find his answers there, he thought. He started to run towards it.
"I need to get out of here," he thought, "If magic is at work…" When he was only about 20 feet from the opening, fire bursted up before the opening. "What?!" Bryant gasped, "What is this?!" The flames began to shape into something. Bryant watched closely. He heard the sound of a neighing horse and knew that couldn't be good.
Out of the flames, a flame knight on horseback appeared. He held a shield and a javelin. The horse lifted up it's front legs and neighed wildly. The horse then faced Bryant, while the knight pointed his javelin at the same target.
Bryant stepped back once.
The horse neighed once more as they both approached Bryant quickly, and maliciously.
"So those other two brats are 'Dragoons'?" Professor Bach asked inquisitively.
"Yes Professor," Rose replied, "They released their power upon me."
"What elements did they use?" Professor Bach asked, as he pondered at the same time.
"Well, the young girl used water and the boy, wind," Rose told him.
"'The Sea Wave and Jade Dragoons'," he said, referring to both Julie and David, "So there are two more left."
"Yes sir," Rose replied.
"Did you manage to put the CD into the computer?" he asked.
"It should still be running right now," Rose said.
"Good," he told her as he walked up to his computer. He typed in a few things and then pressed ENTER. It seems his computer began to transfer something.
"What are you doing Professor?" Rose asked.
"I am transferring the collected data from Tokyo Tower. Drake will definitely find out what I am up to," Professor Bach told her.
"What are my following orders?" Rose asked.
"I want you out into the city, waiting for those brats to return. They are no threat to you as long as they have no 'Dragoon' power," Professor Bach explained to her.
"Yes, of course," Rose said as she walked of into the darkness of the laboratory.
"When I find the other two 'Dragoon' descendants, I shall corrupt them and use them to defeat him!! Hahahaha!!!" Professor Bach laughed maliciously.
On board The Dragony, Professor Drake and Sakura had just finished explaining what they had to explain to Bryant. About the legend of the battle between the 'Winglies' and 'Dragoons', about Rose and Professor Bach, and most of all, their destiny as the descendants of those warriors.
Julie and David were silent.
"Are…are you two okay with this?" Sakura asked.
"They must be," Professor Drake said, "This is their destiny. One that they cannot run away from."
"So, is that why Bryant and Sakura were always secretly together?" Julie asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Sakura asked, thinking she meant something else.
"Well, because you both had to fight Rose and stuff, right?" Julie asked her.
"Oh…right," Sakura smiled as a sweat drop fell on her head.
"Why, what'd you think I was thinking?" Julie asked.
"Oh nothing!" Sakura told her.
"If the 'Dragoons' must go through a trial like Sakura did, then is that where Bryant could be right now?" David asked inquisitively.
"That's correct." Professor Drake replied, "Bryant could be in a Dragon Trial right now. But whose to know for sure."
"We won't know until he returns," Sakura told them.
"Oh, I hope he's okay," Julie worried.
"Me too," Sakura agreed.
"I would like you all to wait for Rose to appear again," Professor Drake ordered.
"What?!" Julie gasped.
"I need to find out what she was doing in Tokyo Tower," Professor Drake explained.
"That's right. She wasn't out just for fun," Sakura added.
"Okay," David agreed.
"Oh dear," Julie sighed.
"Don't worry. Sakura will be there to protect you," Professor Drake reassured them.
"Okay," Julie agreed, "Let's go."
Sakura, Julie, and David did as they were told. They quickly went to their dorm room, and then met again inside the Cherry Blossom garden. A large fountain, that lied in the middle of the garden, spurted out a stream of water into the little pool around it. Sakura looked at her reflection inside the pool. Cherry Blossom petals floating about. Ripples of water moving across.
Julie sat next to Sakura on the edge of the pool as David leaned on a Cherry Blossom tree.
"So what are we waiting for exactly? A sign?" Julie asked impatiently.
"I'm waiting to see if I sense an evil presence," Sakura told her.
"So you really are psychic, aren't you?" David asked her.
Sakura nodded.
"That's how you tell where evil's going on, right?" Julie asked her.
"Exactly," Sakura replied.
"How did…" David began when Sakura interrupted him.
"I really don't want to get into that," Sakura told him.
"Oh, sorry," he apologized.
"It's all right," Sakura assured him. Sakura looked back into the pool of water and petals. After a few moments, she saw Bryant's reflection instead of hers. She gasped silently as a petal fell on the reflection causing it to disappear. "Bryant," she said silently, "It's all my fault."
"Maybe Rose has given up," Julie said hopefully.
"I seriously doubt that," David told her.
"Aaahh!!" Julie screamed.
Sakura and David both turned to her and gasped.
The water from the pool of water had come alive and surrounded her arms and shoulders. It began to pull on her.
"Julie!!" Sakura and David cried.
David grabbed Julie's hands as Sakura grabbed Julie.
"Don't let me go!" Julie cried.
"Hang on!" David told her.
Slowly, but surely, the water was winning this tug-of-war. Julie was slowly being pushed down into the pool.
"Julie!!" Sakura cried.
David then lost his grip as he fell backwards on Sakura.
"David!!!" Julie screamed as the water dragged her into the little pool of water.
"Julie!!" David yelled as he got up and ran over to the pool.
She was no where to be seen. The pool wasn't even a foot deep. Where did she go?
"What happened?!" David cried.
"I-I don't know," Sakura replied.
"Oh god, Julie," David said.
The wind then began to gust. Sakura's hair was blown by the wind as she covered her face. The wind blew so hard, Sakura was blown off of her feet and into a Cherry Blossom tree.
"Sakura!!!" David shouted. The wind began to lift him up towards the sky.
Sakura shook her head and then rubbed her eyes. She saw David being taken away. "David!!" she cried.
A tornado then began to swirl all around him, covering him up. "Aaaahhh!!!" he screamed as the tornado had completely taken him. The tornado was as gray as ever and David could not be seen. The tornado flew straight up into the sky. When David was taken away, the wind returned to a small breeze. It was like it never even happened.
Sakura got herself up and ran towards the fountain. She looked up into the sky and all she saw was puffy white clouds slowly moving. Sakura's eyes began to tear. She let more friends get taken away. "Oh no," she sobbed, "They got taken away too." She then realized something, "Maybe they really were taken to the Dragon Trials." Sakura felt evil approaching through her psychic ability.
Then, out of the sky, lightning bolts of darkness shot down at Sakura.
"Aaah!!" she cried as she leaped out of the way, the bolts hitting the floor. She stood back up and look to the sky. She knew who was there.
Rose hovered above her, smirking her evil smirk.
Sakura looked both ways to see if everyone was around. It seemed everyone was indoors. "Time to get to work," she told herself as she grabbed her 'Dragoon Spirit' from her uniform.
White Silver Dragoon Power!
Bryant dodged the flame knight on horseback as he stuck his flame javelin into the rocky path. And when it hit the ground, it melted right through it. Bryant's eyes widened in surprise. He knew he did not want to be near that.
The horse turned around and faced Bryant.
"Oh no," he gasped, "I can't fight that!"
The knight tried to ram him with the javelin again, this time Bryant couldn't dodge the entire attack. The flame javelin skimmed his right arm, burning through his uniform jacket and scraping his skin. Bryant was knocked to the floor as he grabbed his right arm, grimacing in pain. He squinted one eyes in pain.
"It isn't real," a raspy voice told him.
"What?" Bryant asked, "Who said that?"
The knight tried again, Bryant rolling out of the way.
"It is not real," the raspy voice told him once more.
"What? This pain is!" Bryant yelled as he grabbed his arm.
The knight then struck once more.
Bryant tried to roll out of the way, and this time the javelin swiped his cheek making it bleed. Bryant helped himself up. He couldn't let this guy beat him. "What did that voice mean by that?" he asked himself, "It isn't real?" The knight on horseback faced Bryant once more. "Maybe he meant…this is an illusion," Bryant thought, "That could be it."
The horse ran towards Bryant.
Bryant only had a few seconds to think. "Maybe if I close my eyes," Bryant thought as he closed his eyes. He concentrated. The javelin came soaring at his chest, Bryant not moving a bit. The javelin struck right through him, without hurting him. It was like he was a ghost.
The knight was going to strike him once more when he disappeared.
Bryant opened one eye, and then both.
The opposing knight was gone.
"Huh?" Bryant asked. He then turned to the cave opening. He then noticed that the pain from his wounds was gone. He looked to his arm and then felt his face. His jacket was fixed and his face wasn't bruised. "All right," he said as he ran on through.
He arrived to a dark, cavernous room that looked much like a shrine. Marbled pillars lined around, with a special platform at the end. Bryant apprehensively walks up onto the platform. Behind the platform was a giant wall with a special crest. It was the star emblem from when he traveled up to The Dragony with Sakura. In front of him, was a marbled post with a flat round top. On this post, a shining red orb floated above.
"Is that…?" Bryant asked himself.
It was the 'Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit'.
He reached out his hand to grab it. Right when he was about to grab it, a force pushed him back off the platform steps. "Wha…?!" Bryant gasped as he got himself up on his knees.
In front of the 'Dragoon Spirit', a person began to appear.
"Who is…?" Bryant began when he recognized the shape of this person, "What?!…..Nana?"
That's right. Nana appeared before him.
"Nana?! How did you get here?!" Bryant asked.
Nana's eyes were completely white all around. She didn't reply a single word.
"Nana? Answer me!" Bryant cried. He got up and ran over to her. He gently grabbed her hand and held it tight. "Nana?!" he cried, "Why won't you answer me?!"
Nana then released her hand from Bryant's grip and pushed him away. She closed her fist and pulled it back. She quickly punched Bryant in the face, knocking him down again.
"Uh! Nana?!" he gasped as he rubbed his face.
Meanwhile, Sakura was having trouble of her own to deal with. Sakura and Rose hovered high above the Cherry Blossom Gardens.
"So you return?" Sakura asked her, now in her armor.
"I have to finish the job," Rose said, "It seems those newly born 'Dragoons' aren't here. I guess I can't repay them for what they did to me."
"I won't let you hurt them or anyone else!" Sakura yelled.
"You act so confident," Rose told her, "But you know you cannot defeat me."
"It's completely mutual," Sakura responded.
"Errrgh," Rose grunted. She wasn't happy with that insulting remark. "I won't let a little girl like you talk like that to me!!" Rose yelled as she fired a few bolts of darkness, "Hahh!!"
Sakura flew upwards, dodging the blast. "Moon Light!!" she yelled as she blasted her moon attack.
"Ha! Nice one," Rose smirked, "Absorb Drain!!" She threw her special weapon at the moon beam attack. When it reached it, it began to drain the attack into the blade.
Sakura gasped as the blade returned to Rose's hand.
Rose brought back the blade and then fired back the energy, now corrupted into dark energy.
"Aaaahhhh!!!" Sakura screamed as she was blown back.
"Looks like my tactics have changed," Rose told her.
Sakura held her chest in pain.
"Aww, hurt are we?" Rose joked, "That's too bad."
Sakura knew she had to keep battling. She couldn't depend on another miracle to save her anymore. Sakura brought out her bow and began to fire beam arrows.
Rose took her blade and put it horizontally out in front of her, trying to block the arrows.
Sakura saw the opportunity and flew towards Rose. She kicked Rose back.
Rose responded by trying to kick, punch, swipe, and throw Sakura.
Sakura was swift enough to block and dodge Rose's attacks. Back and forth they swiped each other in the face, chest, legs, and such. This raging battle couldn't last much longer.
Nana tried to uppercut Bryant with the same fist as before.
Bryant lunged backwards as he dodged her attack. "Nana!" Bryant called, "What are you doing?!" Bryant leaped backwards again as Nana tried to punch him.
Nana continued to use her fists, swiping a blow at Bryant.
Bryant was quick and moved his head and body out of harms way. "I don't want to hurt you!" Bryant yelled.
Nana tried to punch him again, this time Bryant caught her fist and held it.
"Nana! Stop it!" he cried. Nana took this opportunity and grabbed his arm.
She turned around and flipped him over her shoulder.
"UH!" Bryant cried when he hit the marbled floor.
Nana leaped into the air.
Bryant opened his eyes and gasped when he saw Nana's fist coming down fast. Bryant quickly rolled out of the way and lifted up to his knees. He grabbed his arm which was hurt when she flipped him over.
Nana approached him again and tried to kick him this time.
Bryant quickly ducked and then got up to his feet and ran a few feet away.
Nana stood in front of him with her fists up.
"What am I going to do?! I can't fight her!" Bryant yelled.
"Descendant of the legendary 'Dragoon'," the raspy voice returned.
"Huh? It's that voice again," Bryant said.
"Is this person before you the one you remember?" the voice asked Bryant.
"No," Bryant answered, "Nana has been with me through it all. Every time my parents couldn't make it to my plays or my recitals, she would always be there. And when I felt sad, she'd always comfort me with true love."
"Then would this person that you love dearly ever hurt you in any way?" the voice asked.
"No…" Bryant said, "She is not my Nana!!"
"Then you have proven yourself worthy," the voice told him.
The Nana that stood before Bryant turned into a statue and crumbled into pieces.
"I could never my hurt Nana," Bryant said.
From the star emblem on the wall, a beast appeared from it like burning fire. It was the Red-Eye Dragon. With its red scales covering its body and long tail wrapping around. "You have proven yourself worthy," he told Bryant.
"Are you…?" Bryant asked.
"I am the Red-Eye Dragon," he replied, "You have passed the Dragon Trial and have proven yourself worthy of being the descendant of a 'Dragoon'. You can now don my power." The Red-Eye Dragon turned into a stream of fire and emerged within the 'Dragoon Spirit'. The 'Dragoon Spirit' floated towards Bryant's hands.
"This is…the spirit of the Red-Eye Dragon," Bryant said in amazement as it glowed in his hands, "Then this means…I'm a 'Dragoon'!" As he looked into the orb, an image of a raging battle appeared.
It was Sakura and Rose.
Bryant saw his friend needed his help. "Sakura!" he cried, "I have to get back to her! She needs me!"
"You know what you must do. You must show the same strength from your heart as you showed me, and you can save her and return home." the dragon spoke from within the spirit.
"Right," Bryant agreed as he then yelled…
Red-Eye Dragoon Power!
Again, very similar to a "Sailor Moon" transformation. Bryant held the spirit close to his chest as he said the magic words. He then spread out his arms as fire bursted out of the spirit, going into the transformation. He is also a silhouette with different shades of red and orange inside. It was also very similar to the "Sailor Mars" transformation. The background is very similar as it flies across the screen. Bryant's arms spread out open, rings of fire appear. The rings of fire spun over different parts of his arms, legs and over head. The rings of fire moved down, up, and across the specified body parts making the red armor appear. Just like Sakura's armor, Bryant had his spirit on his chest, a headband, etc.(minus the skirt). He had his long gloves, and long boots. Sakura showed bare parts of her body(arms, legs, etc.). Bryant had a black suit under his armor. At the end of the transformation, Bryant's wings burst out of his back and his large sword appears. His sword looks very similar to the sword Hikaru uses in "Magic Knight Rayearth". He ends the transformation in a fighting stance.
Sakura was knocked back with more bolts of dark lightning. She fell on top of one of the dorm buildings.
Rose followed her and stood next to her. "You are so weak," Rose told her, "What are you going to do now? No miracle will save you this time."
Sakura weakly got up on her knees as she looked up to Rose.
"That's right, you look up to me!" Rose shouted, "For I will be the one creating 'The Abyss' and you won't be able to stop me!"
Sakura grabbed her other arm in pain. She knew she couldn't do anything. She'd used up most of her power in the battle.
"Death Dimen…!!" Rose began when a blast of flame hit Rose's hand, knocking her blade.
Sakura and Rose both gasped when they looked across to the other building.
Sakura smiled as she saw who it was, "Bryant…"
Bryant stood on the edge of the building across from them. His wings spread out and his sword at his side.
"No!! Not you!" Rose shouted as she knew her plan was foiled once more.
"I won't let you harm her anymore Rose!" Bryant yelled, "You have hurt her for the last time!"
"We'll soon see newly born 'Dragoon'!" Rose yelled as she began to fly over to him, blade in hand.
Bryant prepared his sword and approached her as well. Their blades clashed when they hit each other. Bryant gave one quick blow to Rose's blade and pushed her back. He lifted his fist into the air as fire began to spiral up his body and over to his fist. Rose gasped. "Flame…!!" he yelled as he blasted the fire at Rose, "…Shot!!"
The huge wave of fire swerved and blasted Rose across the building Sakura was on.
Bryant flew over to Sakura and helped her up.
Rose weakly got herself onto her feet and looked over to the two 'Dragoons'. She knew she was outnumbered, and outplayed.
"Go home Rose!" Bryant yelled, "You have no more business here!"
"Fine!" Rose agreed, "But don't think this is over! It's only just begun for you!" Rose weakly spread out her wings and flew off into the horizon.
"Should we follow her?" Bryant asked.
Sakura shook her head, "No. We won this battle."
"Are you okay?" Bryant asked concernedly.
"I'm fine," Sakura smiled, "I'm just glad you showed up to save me again. You've kind of made a habit out of that."
"I guess I have," Bryant laughed, "This armor isn't too bad."
"Doesn't look bad on you either," Sakura giggled.
They both blushed, and then smiled.
"What a nice moment," Bryant said, "It seems this is my destiny after all."
"Yeah," Sakura smiled.
"Where are Julie and David? I hope they're all right," Bryant said.
The happy moment quickly ended.
Sakura ran over to the edge of the building and looked over to the Cherry Blossom Garden. She quickly gasped, "You mean they're not back yet?!"
"What do you mean?" Bryant asked.
"They were both taken away," Sakura explained, "They're both also 'Dragoons'. I thought they were taken to the Dragon Trials as well, but…!"
