Last time...
The brainwashed Red-Eye Dragoon, Bryant, and the Dark Dragoon, Rose, arrived inside Professor Bach's evil laboratory and headquarters. "Ah! Welcome!" Bach greeted him. His eyes were so cold, so deserted. They had lost their emotion and their feeling. He was under complete and utter control. "Red-Eye Dragoon. You are now apart of Kenkaku," Bach told him. Bryant stood like a soldier. "You will only obey Rose's commands, agreed?" Bach asked. He nodded. "When you see the White Silver Dragoon, you will not befriend her, you will annihilate her," Bach went on. Bryant nodded again. "You are not in love with her anymore. You are in love with Rose, the Dark Dragoon," Bach stated. Bryant again nodded.
"Bryant...Bryant just WENT with her!" David yelled. "You mean...he wasn't kidnapped?" Drake asked them. Julie shook her head disappointingly, "No...he went with her. And his eyes...so cold...dead..." Julie began to cry.
A holographic projector appeared and showed an image of an ancient scroll. "What's that?" Julie asked. "That is an image of an ancient scroll I found in one of my archeological digs a while back," Drake explained, "This a fraction of the many scrolls based upon the legendary Dragon Campaign War all of those centuries ago. It is a pretty detailed record of what happened during that time. When your Dragonian ancestors fought against the Winglies in order to save this world." "What does that have to do with Bryant and Rose?" David asked. Drake answered, "You see, during that war...the ancestors of Rose and Bryant were...lovers." "W-What?" Julie gasped. Drake continued, "This was all before the Dark Dragoon became evil and before Bryant's ancestor met the White Silver Dragoon, Sakura's ancestor. You see, when she arrived and won the Red-Eye Dragoon's heart, the Dark Dragoon became jealous and full of malice. She was the one supposed to be with him. But, don't get me wrong, it wasn't that Sakura's ancestor was plotting to take Bryant's ancestor away from Rose. The Red-Eye Dragoon fell in love with her. It was inevitable, it was fate." "And that's how the Dark Dragoon switched sides..." David added. "So, I'm guessing that Rose tapped into that history, that instinct in their spirits and used that to gain control of Bryant's body, power, and emotions," Drake added.

"Aagghh!!!" Julie screamed as she was blown into a building wall. She left a large dent as she slid to the ground unconscious. "I think our work here is done," Rose stated, "Right, darling?" "Stay away from him!" a female voice yelled. Out of the sky, hurling beams of light filled with crescent moons and stars fired downward. Rose looked to the skies to see a holy warrior descend. Sakura, the White Silver Dragoon, stood before them. "Give Bryant back to me!" she demanded. Sakura yelled as she raised her arm into the air, "Moon...!!!" Then, her Dragoon spirit began to flash light and then dim once again. Sakura grabbed her head in pain as she fell to her knees. Her Dragoon armor vanished. "Ha ha ha!!!" Rose laughed, "You can barely even fight." "B-Bryant..." Sakura sobbed. Tears began to fall from her eyes. Bryant's face then turned to somber and sadness. He released Sakura from his grasp. Sakura fell to the floor, gasping for air. "Bryant?" she asked as she looked up to him. His eyes were returning to its normal color. "What?! No!" Rose yelled.
A transmission appeared on Drake's holographic computer. "W-What's this?" David asked. "Here's the deal young Dragoons!" Rose began, "Professor Bach has decided something. He's grown tiresome of Bryant and wants to make a negotiation with you." "Negotiation?!" Drake gasped. "All he really wants is Bryant's spirit. So, he has decided to let you have Bryant back on ONE condition. You must all surrender your Dragoon Spirits to Kenkaku," Rose continued. "If you all decide to cooperate with us, here are your directions. We shall meet, tomorrow night, at Tokyo Tower. Have the Dragoon Spirits. If you don't, we will just dispose of Bryant's body anyway," Rose said. "No!" Sakura cried. "Until then..." Rose finished as did the transmission.
The Legend of Dragoon
The Series
A transmission appeared on Drake's holographic computer. "W-What's this?" David asked. He hit a red button as the transmission appeared. It was an image of Rose. She was sending them a message. "Rose!" Julie yelled. "Here's the deal young Dragoons!" Rose began, "Professor Bach has decided something. He's grown tiresome of Bryant and wants to make a negotiation with you." "Negotiation?!" Drake gasped. "All he really wants is Bryant's spirit. So, he has decided to let you have Bryant back on ONE condition. You must all surrender your Dragoon Spirits to Kenkaku," Rose continued. "W-What?!" David asked. "That's absurd!" Drake added. "If you all decide to cooperate with us, here are your directions. We shall meet, tomorrow night, at Tokyo Tower. Have the Dragoon Spirits. If you don't, we will just dispose of Bryant's body anyway," Rose said. "No!" Sakura cried. "Until then..." Rose finished as did the transmission.
Everyone in the room was silent. There was really nothing to say at that time. It was a very big ultimatum Rose had placed on them. Risk the destruction of the world for one friend, or he'd die. It was too big of a decision for any of them decide by tomorrow. Most people would just say to not give the spirits to Rose and let him die. What's one life for billions? And, even if they give her the Dragoon Spirits, they would ALL die anyway, right? That wasn't the case however. Bryant was their friend. They couldn't just give up on him. One of them, though, already made her decision. Sakura stood up from her seat. "I'm going after him!" she stated. "Sakura...you...you can't," David told her. "Why not?" Sakura asked, "I'm not going to just sit around and let him die." "Sakura...like Rose said, you can barely even fight," Julie added, "What good are you to Bryant if you're dead?" "And, besides, we can't just give her our Dragoon Spirits!" David shouted. Sakura's eyes flared with tears. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "How...how can you say this without any feeling?" she asked, "Our friend, my one true love, is going to die if we don't do something!" "Professor, make her understand!" David pleaded, "Make her see what she already knows!" Professor Drake was looking downward, depressingly. He didn't know what to do. "I-I can't tell you what to do for this," he told them. "What?" Julie gasped. "This isn't my decision to make," Drake continued, "Bryant is your friend, those are your Dragoon Spirits...I have no say in the matter. There is no right or wrong in this situation. You must all follow your heart. Listen to what it tells you..." "Mine tells me that I need to go to him!" Sakura yelled. "I won't condone that...but if that is what you want...I will take to Tokyo Tower tomorrow Sakura," Drake said. A tear fell from his face. Sakura's face saddened when she saw it. Drake didn't want to see Sakura get hurt at all. But, he knew that Sakura was going to go after Bryant anyway. She loved him. That's what was keeping her alive at this point. "As for the rest of you, make your decisions...I will see you tomorrow," Drake said, "Good night." He walked out of the meeting room and over towards the bridge. "P.D." Sakura sighed as she watched him leave. Sakura then gave one look to her friends, who were obviously sad, and the walked off. "David...what are we going to do?" Julie asked, "I don't want to see anything happen to this world, but...I can't let him die..." "I don't know Julie...I just don't know," David replied.

Separated Once Again
Part III
Drake sat in his chair at the bridge, looking out into the night sky. The moon shined so ever brightly. Drake couldn't help but cry. He buried his face into his hands and began to cry the largest cry he had ever cried since...back then. Sakura approached slowly to the door that led to the bridge. She peeked through to see her good friend crying. He wasn't only crying, he was crying for her. That's what made that hurt her even more. She didn't want him to pain for her so. She decided to walk in. Drake heard the sound from the door and the turned around to see Sakura. Drake then quickly turned back around and wiped his face. "W-What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be back at the dorms?" he asked. He didn't want her seeing him crying. He always wanted to display a strong image to her. "P.D., I know...you're upset," Sakura began, "A-And...I don't want you to feel so bad, because...you know I love you...and..." Drake was stunned. He had never heard Sakura tell him that she loved him. "I know you don't want me to go," she continued. "Then don't," Drake pleaded. "You know I can't do that," Sakura replied, "Bryant needs me. I can't let him die." "What about the others? What have they decided?" Drake asked. "I don't know...and I don't really care all that much what they decide to do," Sakura said coldly. She didn't mean for it to come out like that. "I'm going with or without their help," Sakura stated, "I love Bryant...I won't let anything happen to him." "Do you know you could die?" Drake asked her. "Yes, I do," Sakura answered confidently. "And you don't care?!" Drake yelled, "Do you realize how many people you'll hurt if you die?!" "Please, please don't worry about me P.D.," Sakura pleaded, "Don't make this harder than it already is." "You must do what you think is right, I suppose," Drake said, "I cannot stop you." Sakura leaped over to him and hugged P.D. as hard as she could. She hoped it wouldn't be the last hug, but she made it so that it would be as special as possible. She didn't say another word after that. She didn't want to say goodbye. She was determined to come back. Sakura then ran out of the room.
"Oh, Sakura," Drake sobbed, "How little you know..." Then, an essence of white light appeared behind Drake. Drake knew who it was, "Go away." "What is going on?" it asked. It was the same voice as the one he had spoken to before. "She is going off to fight Rose tomorrow," Drake answered. "What?! She has not even passed The Judgment!" it said, "She is not strong enough to battle her yet! That time has not come yet!" "She will die you know," Drake told him. "We can't let that happen! If she dies...this world will...!" it shouted, "You must stop her!" "I cannot," Drake replied. "Why not?!" the essence asked. "It is not my decision to make," Drake explained. "Urgh, you have just enabled your demise, as well as this world's," the essence stated as it disappeared. Drake stayed silent.
The same night, underground in the Kenkaku Laboratory, Bryant was being held in some sort of glass cylinder. Dark energy was pulsing through it. It was a machine meant for distributing more evil energy into Bryant so he would cooperate with Kenkaku. Rose stood next to the machine. Bryant was unconscious, and seemed to be resting peacefully. "So Red here had a bit of a mental lapse today?" James asked as he approached with Rouge alongside him per usual. "Hmph, what's it to you?" Rose asked sternly. "Just askin' love," James replied. "It's nothing," Rose told him, "He'll be back to normal in no time." "Which normal are we talking about?" Rouge asked, "The normal when he's with you, or with her?" "Shut up!" Rose yelled, "How dare you, you insolent fool!" "Now, now," Bach said as he walked in. "P-Professor Bach?!" James and Rouge gasped. They both stopped and bowed down to their leader. "Enough of that bickering Rouge," Bach ordered. "Sorry," she apologized. "How is he?" Bach asked Rose. "He's going to be back up and running no time at all," Rose replied, "Tomorrow we will catch them by surprise with him attacking them. As they displayed today, they can't battle their own friend." "Yes, that will definitely be used to our advantage," Bach stated, "Did you send the message?" "Yes, of course," Rose answered, "They should have seen it by now." "Do you think they'll come?" James asked. "Maybe not all of them, but the most important one of all will," Bach explained, "And we all know who she is." "If we eliminate her, this will be all over," Rose added, "The other two will fall easily." "Yes, with their spirits the seal covering the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit will be broken and then we can create The Abyss," Bach stated, "We'll recreate this world as our own and rule it as we should!!! Ha ha ha ha!!!!"
The night went on as usual. It was now about two o' clock in the morning. Everyone in the Cherry Blossom Estate were sleeping, for they had school later that morning. There was only one young girl who was awake. She stood at the balcony of room 457 looking out into the streets of Tokyo. While her friends slept, she had gone outside to gather her thoughts. She had a long day coming up. She needed to sort out her thoughts. The wind blew a nice and gentle breeze. Her hair swerved in the wind. Sakura could only look out into the moon that shined so brightly. These new feelings were so strange to her. She had friends to care for now and she had one special friend who she cared more for than the rest. The feelings she had for him were different. The love she had for him was different. Sakura never expected to fall in love while being there. But, she did. It was inevitable. Fate brought her and her friends together. Fate brought Bryant and her together. Fate works in mysterious ways. The paths it writes for a person are the strangest. Sakura was feeling that now. That night when she and Bryant were having dinner was the happiest night of her life. She had never felt so alive. Everything was going right for her. But now, things just took a turn to disaster. Later that day, she would set out to Tokyo Tower where she'd hopefully be able to save her one and only true love from the grasps of that evil witch. Sakura was so depressed, it goes without saying. As she continued to think to herself, the door to the balcony opened. Julie and David came out from it. "S-Sakura...you should be sleeping," Julie whispered. "Yeah, I know," she replied. "Come on in. You should get some sleep," David told her. "You two...you two haven't made your decisions yet, have you?" Sakura asked them. They both were silent, looking away from Sakura sadly. "Yeah, that's what I thought," Sakura said, not really expecting any kind of answer. She then walked right past them, without giving them one glance. Julie and David looked at each other disappointingly.
Later that afternoon, Sakura waited in her final class for the dismissal bell to ring. There were only but around three minutes left. Sakura looked at the clock desperately. She was nervous, afraid, anxious, but determined. Sakura was a bundle of feelings. As the instructor carried on with her job, Sakura leaned to the side of her desk to look through her briefcase. She wanted to make sure she had what she needed. The one thing she brought out of it was her Dragoon Spirit. For the moment, it had returned to its original shine. Sakura wasn't sure how much it would last. She could only hope it would be enough to save Bryant. Maybe that's why the spirit began to radiate once more. Her love and determination could only grow stronger. There was nothing in this entire world that would stop her now. Sakura looked at the clock once again. Only one minute left. "Won't be long now," Sakura thought to herself. And before she knew it, the bell rang. Sakura quickly stood up from her desk and walked out of the classroom. She walked so determinedly, so confidently. This was going to be the battle in which it all came down to. Sakura finally reached the front of the school. She walked outward into the city until two friends called out to her, "Sakura, wait!" Sakura turned around to see her friends standing behind her. "I'm guessing you haven't changed your mind?" David asked. "You know I can't..." Sakura began. "Then, we have no choice, but to come with you," Julie interrupted. "W-What?" Sakura gasped. "That's right," Julie stated, "You've made us realize that we can't just let Bryant down like this. We're coming with you." "And we're not just coming with you. We're going to fight with you," David added, "You see, we kept looking at the ultimatum Rose gave us. But, there was one option she left out. And that was to fight for Bryant, no matter what the cost." "Julie...David," Sakura smiled. "So, what are we waiting for?" Julie asked, "Let's go save Bryant!" "And then we'll celebrate afterwards," David smiled. "Where do you think we'll go?" Julie asked, "I say we order out for some Japanese cuisine!" "Yeah, we'll even invite the professor too!" David laughed. They acted so cheerful, nonchalant. Sakura could only smile. She just knew they'd come around. "Now, let's get to Tokyo Tower," David said. "Right," Sakura agreed.
Back underneath the city, Bryant was now out of his dark slumber. He was in his Dragoon armor and was just making sure everything was in place. He fixed his armlets, boots, and such. Rose, who was also in her armor, walked in from the shadows. "I see you are getting ready," Rose spoke. "Yes," Bryant replied. His voice was just that, a voice. There was no emotion running through any of his veins. He would only speak short words and phrases. It was all apart of the mind control process. "It's time Bryant," Rose stated, "They, or at least she, will be on their way. We must be prepared." Bryant nodded. "We're ready too!" Rouge shouted cheerfully. James and Rouge walked in, in their armor. "What do you think you're doing?" Rose asked them. "What? We're coming with you," James told her obliviously. "You're not coming with us. Did you hear Professor Bach speak of your names?" Rose replied. "B-But...that's not fair!!" Rouge complained. Rose smirked, "You see, the professor doesn't think you have what it takes to complete this important mission. That's why I'm here." Rouge and James gritted their teeth and clenched their fists in frustration. "We are off then," Rose stated as she walked over to Bryant, "Tell the professor we won't be long." With Rose's arms wrapped around Bryant, they both left for battle. "Bitch," Rouge said. "Royally," James added as he crossed his arms.
The day grew on. It was now but a few hours later. Night had fallen over the city of Tokyo and the Tokyo Tower was closed for the day. On top of a building rooftop, the three good warriors stood. They all watched the Tokyo Tower. The wind was strong and all of their hair and clothes swerved in the wind. Sakura was in the center. "Please hang on Bryant. I'm coming..." she thought to herself. She was determined to do this. She had to. There were no other options. "There's no turning back now," David stated, "So, nobody better have any second thoughts about this." Julie shook her head, "No way. I'm ready." "Let's go then," Sakura said. She grabbed her Dragoon Spirit and was about to call out her power, when Professor Drake came up to them from behind. They all turned around to see him. "P.D.?" Sakura asked, "What are you doing here?" Drake looked very depressed. "We didn't think...you'd come," Julie said sadly. "You know I don't want you all to go," Drake began. "Professor, you know that we..." David started. "I know, I know," Drake replied, "But...I just wanted to say one thing before you leave..." Everyone paused and were silent waiting for his answer. Drake lifted his head and gave them an encouraging smile, "Good luck and...bring Bryant back to us." The three warriors smiled cheerfully. They were glad drake understood how they were feeling. "We'll be back before you know it," Sakura told him. "Now, enough talking," Drake added, "Dragoons, prepare for action!" The three Dragoons nodded in agreement.
Sea Wave Dragoon Power!
Jade Dragoon Power!
White Silver Dragoon Power!
The three flying warriors landed in front of Tokyo Tower. "Here we are," David stated. "There's definitely no turning back now," Julie said, kind of frightened. Behind them, Sakura felt weak. She bent her knees a little and felt her head. Her friends saw her. "Sakura!" David gasped as he caught her. He looked at the Dragoon Spirit in her chest. It was starting flash its white light. David was worried for Sakura. "Are you all right?" Julie asked her worriedly. "I-I'm fine," Sakura replied as she clenched her fist in strength. She stepped away from David and stood tall. Her Dragoon Spirit stopped flashing and returned to its normal shine. David looked at her with concern. Sakura noticed. "Don't worry David. I'm fine," she told him telepathically, "How can I save Bryant if I can't handle this? Right?" David looked at her kind of upset and worried, but he then replied in his thought, "I'm trusting you." Sakura smiled. Julie, who was in front of them, stared upward at the large Tokyo Tower. "Do you think they're here already?" she asked. "Let me see," Sakura replied as she stepped in front of her. She closed her eyes, using her psychic ability to sense out any of Rose's or Bryant's energy. "W-Well...?" David asked. "Yes...Yes, they're here," Sakura answered. "Should we head in?" Julie asked. "I believe it's time," David told her. Sakura agreed. They all walked slowly and cautiously towards the Tokyo Tower main entrance. The electrical sliding doors slid opened. "Huh?" Julie gasped, "I thought it was supposed to be closed..." "Much easier for us. We don't have to exactly break in," David stated. "She's obviously expecting us," Sakura pointed out. Julie and David nodded in agreement. They continued onward.
The main entrance was deserted, as it should be this time of day. It was very quiet, not a single sound could be heard but the sound of the three warriors' armored boots hitting the tiled floor. As they continued onward inside, they finally reached the black elevators. They were going to walk past it when Sakura sensed something and stopped. "What is it?" David asked. "I sense something...it's...her," she replied. The elevator doors slid opened as Rose spoke to them. "Come in, come in," Rose spoke, "Don't be afraid. These elevators shall lead you to us." The Dragoons were apprehensive and reluctant. They all looked at each other for an answer. Sakura, however, already knew what the decision was. She stepped into the elevator. The others followed as the doors closed behind them. Without pressing any buttons, the elevator moved upwards. The Dragoons could all see out the elevator's window wall. They all looked at the sleeping city where there adventure had begun. They were all silent, contemplating. Sakura walked over to the window and placed her hand onto it. She looked at the fair city so sadly. She wasn't sure if after this night she would ever see it again. To her, it was important to cherish each moment she had. Her eyes turned teary. It had been such a long road to be in this situation. It was almost bittersweet. "S-Sakura?" David asked. Sakura wiped her eyes, "Y-yeah?" "Do you know where this elevator leads?" he asked her. "Probably to the observation deck," Sakura replied. Sakura then prepared herself for a moment. She sensed something. "We're almost there," she said.
The elevator continued up the side of Tokyo Tower until it finally reached the observation deck. The doors slid open as the Dragoons walked out of it. When the doors of the elevator closed, the entire elevator vanished. "Keep your eyes peeled," Julie told her friends. They all stood prepared next to one another. They turned there heads to every direction to make sure they saw everything. They didn't want to be surprised by the likes of Rose. "Welcome Dragoons," Rose said as she appeared in the center of the deck. Bryant, out of his armor, laid unconscious before her. "B-Bryant!!!" Sakura cried. She spread out her wings and soared across the observation deck. When she arrived to where Rose and Bryant were, she was hit by some electrical current and was blown backwards with her friends. "Ugh!!" she screamed as she hit the ground. "Sakura!" Julie gasped as she kneeled down beside her. David brought out his Dragoon computer. The Dragon eye came down on his left eye as the green 'laser' keyboard appeared in front of him. He scanned the area around Rose and Bryant to find a dark electrical barrier protecting them. "There's no way we can get to him!" David stated. "Why not?!" Julie asked. "Rose has put a barrier around herself and Bryant," David explained. "But, we need to get through!" Sakura pleaded. "I know," David replied. "I can't just let you take him," Rose began, "Remember our deal...Spirits for the boy." "What do we do?" Julie asked. "Hurry up now! It's only fair," Rose told them, "Or shall I just kill the boy?" Rose took out her blade and pointed it to Bryant's heart. "No!" Sakura cried. "Then give me your Dragoon Spirits!" Rose ordered. Julie stood up and began to walk across the deck. "Julie?!" Sakura gasped. "I can't...I can't watch him die," Julie cried. David followed. "No, David!" Sakura shouted. "We can't fight her anymore," David said, "It's over..." Sakura began to cry, "No...don't...please...!" "Yes, yes!" Rose shouted delightfully, "Bring them to me!" Julie and David continued to approach. Sakura didn't do anything to stop them. Julie and David were now only but a few feet away. Rose took down the dark energy barrier that surrounded her. That was when David stepped in. He leaped over Bryant and grabbed Rose's arms. He twisted them behind her back and held her. "Julie! Get Bryant, now!" he ordered. Julie hurried to Bryant and carried him off in her arms. Sakura, who had been watching, smiled gleefully. "Sakura, get her!" David yelled. Sakura nodded as she continued to smile.
The aura around them changed into a white and holy place. Sakura floated into the air as the clouds above them began to release beams of holy light. "God, give me power!" she cried. Behind her, a large and golden gate engraved with holy markings appeared and began to open.
"Gate of Heaven!" Sakura finished.
The gate from heaven opened and released its many holy light.
The beams of holy light shot outwards from behind Sakura towards Rose. David quickly lunged himself out of harm's way as Julie dragged Bryant towards the side. "Nooo!!!!!!" Rose screamed as the beams of white light hit her. Shortly after the white lights disappeared, Rose was nowhere to be seen. Sakura weakly stood with her arm still extended outward. She shook slightly in weakness. She couldn't hang on much longer. Julie and David kneeled down next to Bryant. Julie held his head in her arms. "Bryant! Wake up!" she cried. "Come on...open your eyes!" David pleaded. "Bryant, we need you! Sakura needs you!" Julie shouted. Once Sakura's name was spoken, Bryant's eyes began to slowly open. Julie and David gasped happily. "U-Uh...what...?" Bryant stuttered faintly. "Oh, Bryant!" Julie yelled as she hugged him. "Glad you're back," David added. Julie then helped Bryant onto his feet. "It seems Rose's spell wore off," David explained. "And a good thing too," Julie stated, "How do you feel?" "Kind of...strange," Bryant replied. "Do you remember anything?" Julie asked him. Bryant's eyes then widened. He immediately remembered what he had done. He grimaced, "Y-Yeah...I remember..." "I-Is he...all right?" Sakura asked. "Yeah, he'll be fine!" David answered happily. Sakura smiled faintly, "I'm glad..." She then collapsed to the ground. "Sakura!!!!" Bryant yelled. Bryant released himself from Julie and weakly ran over to Sakura. His friends followed. He fell to his knees when he arrived to her. He held her in his arms. She was unconscious. Sakura's armor disappeared. Julie and David stood over them. "Sakura!!" he sobbed, "Wake up!!!" She began to fade in and out. Julie and David gasped. "No!!! Sakura, I'm so sorry!!!" Bryant shouted, "I never wanted any of this to happen! It wasn't supposed to!! I didn't mean all of those things I did!! Because...because...I LOVE YOU!!!!!" A single tear fell from Bryant's face and onto Sakura's Dragoon Spirit. That single tear made the White Silver Dragoon Spirit shine bright once more. "Huh?! Look!!!" Julie exclaimed as she pointed to Sakura. Bryant lifted his head to see what was going on. The Dragoon Spirit began to spiral beams of light all around it. The light surrounded Sakura's body and returned her Dragoon Armor to her. Her friends watched on in awe, hoping for the best. The Dragoon Spirit returned to its normal shine as Sakura began to awaken. She opened her eyes to see her friends watching over her. "E-Everyone...Bryant..." she said. "Sakura," Bryant smiled as he wiped his tears. "Bryant...are you crying?" Sakura asked him. "Huh? Oh, no...of course not. Something just fell in my eye that's all," he replied nonchalantly. Sakura saw right through him and simply hugged him. Julie and David smiled. Bryant then helped Sakura up to her feet as they stared into each other's eyes. "All right, all right. If you're going to kiss, hurry up and do it already," Julie smirked. David elbowed Bryant smugly, "Heh heh, you know you want to." Bryant blushed and then looked at Sakura, who smiled. He then leaned downward as Sakura leaned upward. And finally, their lips met. They embraced each other and kissed one another for the first time. Julie and David could only watch onward happily. David put his arm around Julie as they smiled. This was their happiest moment. Soon after, Bryant and Sakura stopped their first kiss. "How about we go home?" Bryant asked her. "I've been waiting for you to say that," Sakura replied. "Yeah, and besides, the professor is probably worried sick about you two," David added. "He's right," Julie agreed. Bryant and Sakura nodded. "Wait, what about Rose?" David asked, "Is she...?" "No, I'm sure we'll see her again. But, until then..." Sakura answered. "Let's enjoy this time together," Bryant finished. "Okay," Julie smiled. They all turned around to look towards the night sky where the moon shined so brightly along with the twinkling stars.
Meanwhile, on the peak of Tokyo Tower, the mysterious figure who had spoken with Professor Drake before stood. The darkness shadowed his face and parts of his attire. He had long angelic wings and long platinum hair. His robes which seemed very ancient and regal swayed in the wind, along with his hair and wings. He crossed his arms as he watched the Dragoons fly across the silver moon. "There is much more hardship to come 'Heaven's Messenger'...much more," he said.
