The Legend of Dragoon
The Series
"James! Rouge!" Julie cried, "Please, stop this!" They said nothing.
They had no emotion, no expression on any part of their face.
We return to where we left off. Julie and David made it inside the
barrier and were now on the roof. James and Rouge were ready for battle.
"We don't have to fight!!" David yelled, "Help us!! You wanted to before!"
They just would not listen. James stepped forward and raised his large fist
into the air. "No, don't!!" David pleaded. "James! Can't you hear me?!" Julie
asked. James' fist began to emit a golden power. "Julie, watch out!" David
cried. "Grand Stream!!" James yelled as he rammed his into the ground. The
golden energy pulsated through it and headed towards Julie and David. Julie and
David swiftly leaped out of danger.
"Julie, we have no choice," David said as his staff appeared. He held
both hands on it, ready to fight. "But...!" Julie stuttered. "We can't get
through to them," David told her, "The darkness in their hearts is too powerful.
We have to fight. We have to save Sakura and Bryant, remember?" Julie didn't
want to have to fight them, but David was right. There was no other way. If
they didn't hurry, Sakura and Bryant could be killed. She held out her palm as
her sword appeared. She grabbed and pointed it at her opponents. Rouge and
James stood next to one another, ready. So did Julie and David. They're final
battle would begin.
The monstrous Professor Bach tried to bang his fist upon Bryant. Bryant
quickly flew out of the way and into the air. "What is this?!" he asked. "JUST
A LITTLE SOMETHING I CONJURED," Bach joked. He tried to swipe Bryant once
again. Bryant moved out of the way. The advantage Bryant had was that now that
Bach was bulky, he'd be slower. Bach continued to try and bash Bryant in with
his fist, but just wasn't fast enough. "NOW...HOLD STILL!!" he yelled. Fist
after fist. Soon enough, however, he managed to get a hit on Bryant. He bashed
Bryant into the side wall. Bryant created a massive dent. Bach tried to bash
him in even further. Bryant was quick to move away just before he would be hit.
Bach's fist went straight through the wall.
"I can't keep this up," Bryant told himself, "I've got to do something!"
He then looked over to the door where the throne room was. "I know Sakura's in
there," he thought, "I have to hurry before it's too late." Because Bryant was
thinking too much, Bach took the advantage and tried to hit him again. Luckily,
Bryant noticed in the split second and moved away.
The Red-Eye Dragoon lifted his fist into the air as fire began to
spiraling up his body and over to his fist. "Flame Shot!!!" he shouted as he
pointed his fist to Professor Bach. A massive fire blast occurred.
Bach used his huge palm and blocked the wave of fire. The fire didn't do
anything to his hand. "What?!" Bryant gasped. It seemed that not only did
Bach's strength increased, so did his resistance to magic. Bach struck through
the fire and wrapped his large fingers around Bryant's body. Bryant couldn't
get his arms loose. "LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE THIS..." Bach told him. He
squeezed Bryant's body even harder. "A-Agh!!!" Bryant screamed in pain.
"Bryant!!!!" Sakura screamed. She was still restrained onto the crucifix,
watching the two battles rage on within the two mirrors. "Isn't it wonderful?"
Rose asked, "Some of my own blood is in that mixture that mad scientist
conjured. But, even so, I never thought he would be able to kill one of you with
his bare hands." "Bryant..." Sakura sobbed.
The Divine Spirit
Rewarded Happiness
"It won't be long now..." Rose sighed nonchalantly as she filed her nails.
"How..." Sakura began, "How can any human be so cruel? Even one like you, who
has been alive for centuries!!" Rose stopped what she was doing and stood up to
hear what her prisoner had to say. "You...you were once a good person!!!"
Sakura cried, "You were apart of the first Dragoons! You helped them as they
helped you! But then, you betray them!!! Betray everything the Dragoon was!!
You're a disgrace!!!" "SHUT UP!!!" Rose shrieked as she blasted Sakura in the
chest with bolt of dark energy. "Agh!!" Sakura screamed. "How dare you speak
to me that way?!!" Rose yelled angrily, "You ignorant fool!! You don't know
ANYTHING!!!" Sakura, for the first time, could feel the pain in Rose's voice
and in her black heart. "You are right," Rose told her, "I was apart of the
good team. I was happy. I had everything I ever needed!! Friends,
family...love..." Sakura listened attentively to what Rose had to say. "But
then, that girl!!!" Rose screamed, "That stupid, moronic, bright-eyed girl came
in!!! She ruined everything!!!" Sakura knew she meant Shana. "She took him
away from me!! She took Dart away from me!!" Rose cried, "He and I were happy.
But then, Shana, the White Silver Dragoon came into the picture...She
deliberately took him away from me. And when she did...I couldn't live with
myself. I couldn't bare the pain! So, I vowed to get back at her and the best
way to do it was to join the Wingly side." "And what?" Sakura asked, "Is this
you trying to get me to feel sorry for you? So Dart met the woman he was meant
to be with for the rest of his life. Get over it. It's been centuries and yet
you still hold onto that grudge. You make me sick. You're pathetic!!!"
"Urgh!!!" Rose screamed as she ran to Sakura. She grabbed her by her neck and
squeezed it tight. There was so much hate and hurt in her eyes. But then, Rose
stopped and released her grip. She did slap Sakura across the face, however.
"Aha...I see what you're trying to do," Rose said, "You were trying to get me to
kill you so you wouldn't have to watch your friends die...Nice try." Rose
regained her composure and returned to her seat. "I won't give you that
satisfaction," Rose grinned, "Continue to watch...Ha ha ha ha!!!"
"HEHEH..." Bach grinned as he continued to squeeze Bryant's body, "I'M
GOING TO POP YOU LIKE A GRAPE." Bryant couldn't really do anything to Bach at
this point in the battle. His arms were trapped and could barely move. There
was no way to release himself from Bach's grip.
"Magic doesn't work..." he thought to himself, "But, maybe physical
attacks will." His sword appeared in the palm of one of his hands. His arms
could not move, but he pointed the sword upwards towards the palm of Bach's
fist. After a few seconds, he thrusted it upward and into Bach's skin.
"AHHH!!!" Bach screamed in pain as he let Bryant go. Bryant landed on his feet.
He held his sword ready for battle. Bach was now pretty angry and began to rush
over to Bryant. "This sword's not going to be able to cut through his flesh,"
Bryant thought, "But, maybe if I find something else..." Bach rammed his
downward upon Bryant, but Bryant flew out of the way. He quickly looked around
for something that could help him. Bach turned around and tried swiping him
again. Bryant moved out the way. Bach then tried again, and again, but Bryant
was just too quick for him. Bach began to close in on Bryant, however. There
were very little places to go in the hallway. Bach kept walking towards him as
Bryant moved backwards. Soon enough, Bryant's back was to the wall. There was
nowhere for him to run at this point. It looked like it was all over for him.
Bryant continued to look around for an answer before Bach was able to hit
him. He could see nothing at first. But then, he noticed the lights on the
ceiling. There was an electrical cable cemented in that, fortunately for him,
lead all the way to the wall he was in front of. Bryant now had a plan. "Come
on you big ugly monster! Try and hit me!" Bryant provoked him. Bach stood in
front of him, "ARE YOU MOCKING ME?" "That's right! You wannabe scientist!"
Bryant yelled. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" Bach asked angrily. "You'll never be
half the scientist Professor Drake is!!!" Bryant finished. That was the worst
insult you could say to him. "WHY YOU...?!!!" Bach yelled as he brought back
his fist. Bryant flew to the side just as Bach rammed his fist into the wall
and into the electrical cable. The electricity ran through Bach's body, causing
him to seizure. "This is my chance!" Bryant shouted. He was going to give out
the final blow.
Bryant gathered up all of his elemental fire energy and then released it
all at once. Because of that, his Dragoon wings changed into wings of burning
fire. He took his sword and grabbed it with both hands. He pointed it in front
of him as a semi-sphere of all kinds of red light covered him. "Final
Burst!!!!" he yelled out the spell and shot outward towards the monstrous and
electrocuted Bach. He slashed straight through his chest with an extreme fire
sword blast.
"NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bach screamed as he fell on down onto the floor,
completely lifeless. His body began to shrink back to its normal state. The
height left, the muscles gone. This time, however, he shrank back so much that
all that was left of the evil Professor Bach were his bones and his ripped up
clothes.
Bryant stood over his skeleton. "I'm sorry we couldn't help you," Bryant
said. He put out his hand as fire engulfed the skeleton. The skeleton began to
melt away into dust. Bryant turned to the door that led to the throne.
"Sakura," he said as he ran towards the door.
A large wave of fire broke through the main door. Rose stood up from her
chair and awaited Bryant's arrival. One of the mirrors shattered and faded
away. Bryant made it through his battle. He ran into the throne room
determinedly. "Welcome lover," Rose smiled.
Rouge raised her arms into the air calling out a spell, "Thunder Child!!"
From the black skies above, four purple lightning bolts fired downward towards
Rouge. Each of the bolts hit her two clenched fists and her two legs. A purple
orb made of light surrounded them. She twirled and spun around and then stopped
into an Asian style fighting stance.
Using her fighting spell, Rouge went after Julie. Julie had no fighting
skills whatsoever and didn't know how to respond to the attack. Rouge, in a
very fast pace, tried to punch Julie straight in the face. Julie used her sword
to protect her face, blocking the attack. Rouge spun around and tried back-
swiping her. Julie ducked. Then, Rouge did a roundhouse kick to Julie's chest,
pushing her back. Rouge continued to try and hit Julie wherever possible.
Julie did her best in either dodging or blocking the attack. "Rouge, please!"
Julie cried, "Please stop!" Rouge wouldn't listen to her and continued to kick
and punch. Julie kept getting pushed back and soon enough she arrived at the
edge of the roof. Julie looked back and saw the long way down. Rouge was
leaping towards her with her purple-orbed fist. Julie gasped and jumped to the
side. Rouge, obviously missed her. Rouge stopped facing Julie and prepared for
her next move. Julie put up her sword in order to protect herself. "What am I
supposed to do?" Julie thought to herself, "I just can't bring myself to hurting
Rouge..."
On the other side of the roof, James and David were having it out. David
took his staff and slashed down on James. James blocked it with his large
fists. Then, David tried to hitting him in the legs, but James jumped above
them. David twirled the staff in the air and tried to hit him again. James
swiftly moved. Quickly after, David spun around and slashed at him again.
James, again, moved out of the way. James decided after that to fight back. He
came at James with his bold fists and tried bash him into the ground. He tried
to punch him in the stomach, but David blocked it with his staff. In that
moment, David lifted his staff so that he swipe down on James. James took this
split-second in order bust David right in the chest. "Agh!!" David shouted as
he was blown back a good twenty-feet.
An image of the Earth appeared behind James. The earth itself released
from beneath David and entrapped him while lifting him into the air. The
Golden-Eye Dragoon floated up into the air, leveling with David. "Golden
Gaea!!!" he shouted as the image of the Earth began to shine a golden light. The
light engulfed James' body, giving him more strength. He pointed his hands to
the trapped David and released all of that energy given to him onto David.
"Ahhh!!!!!" David screamed as he was blown even farther back. He was
almost near the edge of the roof now. He was badly hurt. He had cuts, scrapes,
and bruises all over his face. His armor was badly damaged. Julie saw David in
trouble and hurried over to him. "David!!" she cried. She kneeled down next to
him, "Hang in there!" "Look out," David told her. Julie faced forward as Rouge
and James stood around ten-feet away from them.
"You must be proud of yourself for making it this far," Rose grinned, "I'd
pat you on the back, but then again you'd try to kill me." "Bryant!" Sakura
shouted, happy to see him. Bryant looked to his right to see Sakura upon the
crucifix. "Sakura!!" he cried as he ran to her. "You shouldn't be here!"
Sakura told him, "You're gonna get yourself hurt, or even worse!" "Don't expect
me to just sit around and let you do this alone," Bryant replied, "We'll do this
together." Bryant looked around for a way to get Sakura out of the crucifix.
"Don't worry. I'll get you out of here," he said. "Get away from her!" Rose
yelled. With the wave of a hand, she blew Bryant into the wall. "Bryant!!"
Sakura cried. "You didn't think I would make it that easy, did you?" Rose
smirked, "But...I'm actually glad you're here. Because, now you can watch as The
Abyss arrives and she can watch you die...in person." Rose walked over to the
pedestal where the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit sat. "You see this? Only
minutes to go before it is complete," she said. The Spirit was now almost
completely covered in darkness.
Bryant steadily got back up to his feet. "You Dragoons sure are
persistent," Rose stated, "But, I kind of admire that. It's too bad. If you all
wouldn't have been so foolish enough to try and stop us, we could have all
worked together." "We would never work with a psycho like you!" Bryant yelled.
Rose fired another dark blast at Sakura's chest. "Sakura!!" Bryant shouted.
"Every time you insult me, she gets it," Rose explained to him. "I won't..."
Bryant began as he clenched the fist in which held his sword., "I won't let you
do this!!!"
Bryant gathered up all of his elemental fire energy and then released it
all at once. Because of that, his Dragoon wings changed into wings of burning
fire. He took his sword and grabbed it with both hands. He pointed it in front
of him as a semi-sphere of all kinds of red light covered him. "Final
Burst!!!!" he yelled out the spell and shot outward towards Rose. He headed her
way with an extreme fire sword blast.
"Foolish boy," Rose said. Bryant came at her head on. When he arrived,
Rose put the palm of her hand very nonchalantly in front of her. She put up an
invisible barrier, that Bryant could not get through. He tried, and tried and
tried. He gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes. The perspiration came down
his face. He used all of his might in trying to defeat her. Rose, on the other
hand, was nowhere near breaking a sweat. Her new power was too strong for him
alone. He could do nothing, no matter how hard he wanted. "Be gone," she
grinned. With the same hand, she used the force Bryant was trying to inflict
upon her and blasted right back at him. "Aaagghh!!!!" Bryant screamed as flew
against the wall with the speed of light. He hit the wall so hard that he not
only created a dent, he was completely stuck within it. He couldn't move a
muscle. "That'll teach you to defy me," Rose smirked. "Bryant!!!" Sakura
cried.
Rouge summoned the Violet Thunder Dragon's power. It appeared for a
moment and almost possessed her. The dragon's power was absorbed as the Violet
Thunder Dragoon changes into the lightning form of the Violet Thunder Dragon,
"Thunder God!!!" She shot outward to both Julie and David, attacking them when
she hits them.
"Ahhh!!!!" Julie and David screamed as they skidded through the ground.
They were both hurt and didn't know if they could hang with Rouge or James any
longer. It looked as if Rouge and James had won. But, they weren't through yet.
Rouge and James weren't going to let up on them until they killed them.
The Golden-Eye Dragoon called upon the power of the Earth. He raised his
arms into the air as large boulders broke off from the ground. Elemental energy
emitted from them. "Meteor Strike!!!" he yelled as the boulders hit struck down
on Julie and David like meteors flying from space.
The two Dragoons screamed again as they were hit in all parts of their
bodies. They had no more strength to fight it seemed. Their bodies had taken
too much of a beating for them to fight back. There was nothing they could do.
It was over. Rouge and James began to approach them. "J-Julie..." David spoke.
He looked at her sympathetically. He really felt this was the end. However,
Julie wasn't going to have it. She couldn't let this end as it is. She hasn't
saved Sakura and Bryant yet. And at that moment, the kind and cheerful words
that Meru had said to her appeared in her mind.
"You don't believe your role's important?!" Meru gasped, "Don't you ever
think that!" "You know, I sometimes used to think I just thought I came along
for comical relief or something. But, then, when the Sea Wave Dragon chose
ME...it changed everything. I knew I had an important role to fulfill. And you
wanna know what that was?" Meru explained, "To protect our savior, the White
Silver Dragoon. Or, the one you call Sakura."
"She was right," Julie said, "My role hasn't been fulfilled yet." Rouge
and James continued to approach. Julie got up onto her knees and held her hands
over her Sea Wave Dragoon Spirit. "Julie, what are you...doing?" David asked
weakly. "Sea Wave Dragoon Spirit!" Julie called as it began to glow, "Let your
calm waters become a healer! Show these two before you what they've forgotten!"
From beneath both Rouge and James, water spiraled up them and surrounded their
entire bodies. It was trying heal and drain the darkness in their spirits.
Both of them began to remember all of their precious memories:
On a day long ago, James walked into the hallway towards her bedroom with
a suitcase. Rouge walked behind her, "Hello there." He turned around to see
her, "Uh...hi." "I'm guessing you're James?" she asked. He smiled and nodded,
"Yes, I am." "Well, I'm Rouge," Rouge told him as they shook hands, "I suppose
we'll being together here, right?" "Yah, I guess so," James replied. "I just
wanted to say hello and...I hope we become close friends," Rouge smiled. "Y-
Yeah...me too," James blushed.
The time when Rouge and James first expressed their love to one another
was next after that.
"What I did...to you...was wrong. I know this," James began, "I didn't
mean to. But, a friend told me, that we even make mistakes involving those we
love most." "Oh, James...I," Rouge began to say. "Let me finish," he stopped
her, "This friend also told me that it was up to me to fix it. And that one way
to do it...would be...to show you how much I care about you. How much I...love
you." "James..." Rouge gasped. Tears welled up in her eyes. "And that is the
truth..." James told her, "I do love you Rouge. Like a friend, like a sister,
and beyond that." "J-James..." Rouge blushed and then smiled, "I...I love you
too." James smiled back. They both paused for a moment as they looked into
each other's eyes. They both leaned into one another, slowly. But soon enough,
their lips would meet. They finally showed each other how they really felt
about each other.
And then finally, they remembered when Haschel and Kongol spoke with them.
"SHOULD BE PROUD OF SELF," Kongol told her, "OVERCAME EVIL IN HEART.
HELPED OTHER DRAGOONS." "He's right," Haschel agreed, "You have overcome the
evil that had plagued you before. But, you can redeem yourself." "We can't do
that!" James yelled, "If we do...if we do...!" "HAVE NOT OVERCOME EVIL YET,"
Kongol said to him, "WILL IN TIME." "Yes, you will," Haschel added, "You still
haven't overcome it. When you do, you'll know what it is you truly want. And
when you do..." "SHALL FIND HAPPINESS WITH ONE YOU LOVE," Kongol said. James
looked over at Rouge. She was the one he loved most. "That is all that we can
tell you," Haschel said as he faded away. "OVERCOME EVIL, FIND HAPPINESS.
REMEMBER," Kongol finished as he smiled. He and Haschel faded away.
The water surrounding them disappeared. Rouge and James began to fall.
"James!" Julie cried. "Rouge!" David shouted. They both hurried over to catch
them. "James?" Julie asked, "Are you all right?" James and Rouge both looked
up at them. Their eyes had returned to their normal color. "D-David...?" Rouge
asked. "Yeah, yeah! It's me!" David replied excitedly. "They're back!!!" Julie
cried. She hugged James as she cried. She was so happy they were back. "Thank
you, Julie," James smiled, "You saved us..." James and Julie broke their hug.
They all stood up. Julie and Rouge smiled to one another and then hugged each
other as well. James and David did the same. "Thank you so much!" Rouge cried,
"If it weren't for you...!" "Hey, but you both are hurt!" James stated. "It's
all right," David replied, "We'll make it." "It's not over yet though," Julie
said ominously.
The darkness completely covered the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit. The
countdown was finished. Rose looked at it greedily, "It's time..." "No!!!"
Sakura screamed. "Stop it!!!" Bryant yelled, "Don't do it!!!" Rose took the
now black Dragoon Spirit and held it up into the air. She grinned as evilly as
anyone could possibly grin. She called out the spell, "NON-ELEMENTAL DRAGOON
POWER!!!" "No!!!!" Sakura cried.
The entire building began to shake and collapse. However, Sakura and
Bryant still couldn't break free. "Ha ha ha ha!!!!" Rose laughed maliciously.
A strange darkness engulfed her body. The ceiling itself began to crack and
give way.
Julie, David, Rouge, and James looked down into the throne through the
large opening the earthquake created. "Sakura!!!!" Julie cried, "Bryant!!!!"
Sakura and Bryant both looked up to see their friends. "Julie! Everyone!"
Sakura smiled, "I'm glad I got to see you again!" "But, you've got to get out
of here! The entire building is going to collapse!!" Bryant yelled. "We can't
leave you!!" David shouted. "We'll get you out!" James shouted. "It's too
late! You've got to...!" Sakura began to yell to them. But, the floor beneath
Bryant and her began to crack and finally gave way. "Ahhh!!!!" Sakura and
Bryant screamed as they fell. "No!!!" Rouge screamed. They would join them,
however. The entire ceiling gave way and collapsed this time. The four
Dragoons could do nothing to stop it. They all fell helplessly into the dark
abyss that was being created.
A beam of black light shot upward into the sky. In just a few seconds it
disappeared, along with the Kenkaku Headquarters. All that was left was a large
crater in the city.
Sakura, scratched and bruised, lied down on some sort of stone platform.
She had some rocks and dirt covering her body. When she awoke, she pushed them
off of her and dusted the dirt off. When she looked around, she was in some
sort of different dimension. The stone platform she was on seemed to float in
the middle of some sort of space. The surrounding space was colored in dark red
and orange shades. She looked behind her to see Julie, David, Rouge, and James
floating out in the space. It seemed there was only gravity on the platform.
"Everyone!!" Sakura cried as she got onto her feet and turned to them.
"S-Sakura..." Julie smiled. "We're glad you're all right," David told her.
"For a minute there, we didn't think you'd make it," James added. "Don't worry
about us. We'll be all right," Rouge said. "Thank you," she replied.
"It seems she has awoken," a female raspy voice spoke. Sakura turned
around to see who it was. There was large, pulsating, and growing black dome in
the distance. In front of it, was the demon herself. Sakura gasped at what she
saw. It was a new and improved Rose.
Rose had transformed herself into a dark demon. Instead of the Dragoon
Armor being armor, it morphed into her own skin. She had sharp, thick spikes on
her shoulder blades. Her wings were real devilish, black ones. Instead of only
two wings, there were four; two on each side. At the end of each point of the
wings were claws. Rose's hands were also claws now with long sharp nails. And
as for her face, her eyes were now a bloody red. They looked like reptile eyes.
Rose's face was now a dark gray and she carried fangs for teeth. She was now a
demon from the depths of hell.
"How do you like the new look?" she joked. "I-I can't believe it..."
Rouge gasped. "She's no longer human," David said. "You really are a monster,"
Sakura told her. "I suppose," Rose replied as she approached her, "But, I think
the correct term...is Wingly." "What?!" David gasped. "You see...when you
release the power of the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit, the demon spirit of the
Winglies possesses and you and well...changes you into this," Rose explained to
them. Everyone couldn't believe what they were hearing. Not only were they
facing The Abyss, they were facing a Wingly. "Oh, and what you see behind me is
The Abyss itself," Rose pointed out, "You see how it grows. Soon it will grown
and grow and grow until it has swallowed up this planet." "I won't let you do
that!!" Sakura yelled. She lifted her right arm into the air. "Gate of
Heaven!!" she shouted. The gate to heaven appeared above Rose, facing down on
her. Rose was nowhere near worried. The gate began to open. But, Rose simply
punched straight through it, shattering it. "No!!" Sakura gasped. "Now, it's
my turn," Rose told her, "Hah!!" She blasted a huge amount of dark bolts of
lightning at Sakura. "Sakura!!" Bryant yelled as he grabbed her and pushed her
aside. The blast hit the ground and exploded. Rose's power was unimaginable.
"Everyone! We've gotta help them!" Julie shouted. The others nodded.
Each one of them began one of their spells. "Sea Wave...!!" Julie cried.
"Emerald...!!" David shouted. "Golden...!!" James yelled. "Thunder...!!" Rouge
began. "Be gone!" Rose yelled as she blasted them with another of those massive
dark bolts. "Everyone!!" Sakura shouted. They were all hurt pretty badly. "D-
Don't...worry," David grimaced, "We're...all right." "David..." Bryant said.
Rose put out her hand as a special sword appeared within it.
The sword was very large. The handle was long. At the very beginning of
the blade, the mouth of a dragon was created, leading to the blade. The blade
was shaped like flames. The bottom of it was yellow and the as it went up went
from orange to red.
"What is that?!" Rouge gasped as she held her arm in pain. "This my dear
Dragoons, is called..." Rose began, "The Dragon Buster." "Dragon...Buster?"
James asked. "This is the only forged weapon that can destroy a Dragoon," she
explained, "It was going to be the Winglies trump card during the war. However,
the Divine Dragoon was summoned before they could even use it. Now, who shall I
use it on first? How about...my rival?" "No, keep Sakura out of this!!" Bryant
yelled as he stood up to protect her. Bryant took out his sword and prepared
for battle. "Bryant, no! What are you doing?!" Sakura yelled. "Bryant, don't
do it!" Julie cried from above. "Are you planning on challenging me?" Rose
asked. "I'll do anything to protect Sakura," Bryant replied. "Bryant, don't!"
Sakura pleaded. Bryant looked down to her and smiled, "Save a kiss for me."
"Bryant..." Sakura gasped. He ran into battle.
"Hah!!!!" he yelled as he approached Rose. Rose did nothing but stand
there and wait for him to make the move. As he ran, he lifted his sword ready
to strike. Rose smirked as she pulled back the Dragon Buster...and plunged in.
The sound of the blade going through his Dragoon Spirit echoed through all of
Bryant's friends' minds, especially Sakura.
They all gasped and couldn't breath for that second. Sakura's eyes began
to tear. She watched the blade go through Bryant's chest and then be pulled
back out. Bryant began to fall to the floor lifelessly. "BRYANT!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs. As Bryant began to fall, he remembered
his conversation with Dart:
"You want to be with her forever, don't you?" Dart asked. "Y-Yes," Bryant
replied. "Then, you'd risk your life to protect her?" he asked. "Yes, I would.
I would do anything for her. Even die, if that's what it took," Bryant answered
truthfully and honestly.
He then fell to the floor. "Bryant!!!!" Sakura screamed as she ran over
to him. Julie and David began to cry. They were speechless. They didn't know
what to say, or what to do. Sakura kneeled next to him and held his head in her
arms. "Bryant!!!" she sobbed, the tears streaming non-stop. He only smiled at
her. "What were you thinking?!" she yelled. "I wanted...to make sure...I
protected you..." he replied softly. "What?" she gasped, "How can you protect
me now...now that you're...?" Bryant slowly and gently placed his hand on her
cheek and wiped her tears, "It's all right...It'll be all right." "No, no it
won't!!" she cried, "Bryant, you can't leave me!!! You promised me you'd be with
me forever! Do you remember that?" He smiled, "Yeah, I do. I'm sorry I broke
it..." Sakura grabbed his hand and held it tight, "Bryant..." Bryant's armor
then disappeared from his body. His broken Dragoon Spirit fell to the floor.
His body began to fade away and became transparent. "Ah! No!!" she cried,
"Bryant, you can't die!!!" Bryant laid his head on her chest, "Your heart is so
warm...so gentle..." Sakura couldn't stop crying, it wasn't her fault though.
"Sakura..." he said as he closed his eyes, "I'll...always love you..." His body
then completely faded away and turned into red sparkling lights. Sakura gasped
as her eyes watered even more. The red sparkling lights flew up into the sky.
"B-Bryant..." Julie sobbed. "N-No..." Sakura cried, "NOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
"It was about time I put him out of his misery. He was so annoying," Rose
smirked. Sakura stood up to her feet and clenched her fists, "Return him to
me." "What was that?" Rose asked nonchalantly. Sakura turned around to face
her, "GIVE BRYANT BACK TO ME!!!" She began to approach Rose when Rose blew her
back. "Agh!!!" Sakura cried as she hit the floor. "Sakura!!" her friends
shouted from up above. "Shut up!!" Rose yelled as she blasted them all as well.
This time, they were knocked unconscious.
Sakura was on the floor on her hands and knees. She instantly remembered
something that Kai had told her before:
"The Abyss is something you'd never imagine. Even more devastating than
the world coming to an end."
"Answer me this..." Sakura said. "Oh, all right. What is it?" Rose
replied. "I was told...The Abyss was something even more devastating than the
world coming to an end..." Sakura explained, "What does that mean?" "Ohh...so
nobody was able to tell you that," Rose smirked, "Well...for someone like you it
would seem even more devastating." "H-How...?" Sakura asked. "When The Abyss
arrives..." she began to say, "Everyone in this world...will lose the feeling of
the people they love most." "What?!" Sakura gasped as she looked at Rose.
"When the world is covered by its darkness, everyone will forget that they even
had a person they loved most," Rose explained, "And, everyone involved with the
Dragoons in this time...well, it would be as if it never happened." "No..."
Sakura cried. She looked back to her unconscious friends, "We would have never
met...Everyone would lose the feeling of the people they love most..." The
image of Bryant smiling at her appeared in her mind as cherry blossom petals
gently fell. He soon faded away. "Even mine..." she sobbed. "That's right,"
Rose told her, "You will forget...everything." "I-I..." Sakura began as she got
up onto her feet, "I will...never let that happen!!!!" Sakura flew towards Rose
ready to attack her. However, right when she was about to hit her, a blob of
darkness surrounded Sakura's arms and legs and held her up. Because of the
momentum shift, Sakura's golden brace that she wore in her hair fell to the
floor. Sakura's hair was now loose. "You try and try," Rose said, "But it's to
no avail. Why don't you see that?" Sakura couldn't stop crying. There was just
so much in her heart. She didn't want to lose everyone. She didn't want to
forget. "So, I guess I won't have to go through the trouble of killing you all,
because in the next world...you won't even remember me," Rose smirked, "How
ironic." Rose turned around and began to walk away.
Sakura then remembered something Bryant had told her before. She saw an
image of his smile in her mind as she heard it:
"No matter where I am or even if we never even met. I would always know
that there was something missing in my life. And that would be you and your
love."
"That's not true..." Sakura said. "What?" Rose asked, "What did you say?"
She turned around to look at her. "Our love for one another is strong! No
matter what force is against us...even if we would all forget...All of us would
live our lives knowing that there was something missing!!" Sakura cried, "I
won't let you take that away." "And what exactly are you going to do about it?"
Rose asked her. "Divine Dragoon Power!!" Sakura yelled. Nothing happened.
"What are you doing?" Rose asked, a bit annoyed. "Divine Dragoon Power!!" she
yelled again. "Okay, this is now sad and pathetic," Rose giggled. "Divine
Dragoon...Power!!" Sakura sobbed. One of her tears fell off of her cheek and
onto her golden brace. It began to glow. It levitated into the air and in
front of Sakura.
Julie weakly opened her eyes. Her blue Dragoon Spirit began to shine.
"Sakura..." she sighed. The Dragoon Spirit flew from her body, her armor
disappearing. David also began to awaken, "Sakura..." His green Dragoon Spirit
also beginning to shine. It left from his armor as it disappeared. The same
happened with Rouge and James. They called out Sakura's name, "Sakura..."
Their Dragoon Spirits shined and then flew from their armors. The broken and
cracked Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit began to shine and was put back together. It
levitated from the ground.
The black blob that constrained Sakura disintegrated, releasing her.
Sakura's Dragoon Spirit also began to shine and left her armor, leaving her back
in her clothes. The Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit that Rose had on her chest,
also began to shine and broke free from her. "W-What?!" she gasped. The Dark
Dragoon Spirit appeared from the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit. That spirit then
shattered as the Dark Dragoon Spirit flew over with the others. "No! What's
going on?!" Rose yelled.
The seven Dragoon Spirits of the elements surrounded the golden brace.
They all transformed into energy and combined with one another inside the
opening in the brace. The Divine Dragoon Spirit had been created within the
golden brace. It shined like no other object seen. It floated over to Sakura's
hands. She lifted it into the air. "W-What are you going?" Rose asked. Sakura
called out the spell:
Divine Dragoon Power!
The golden brace lifted into the air above her. It expanded so that it
would cover her entire body. The white light also expanded with it. It slowly
came down upon her body. And as it went down, she was transforming. After a
while, it had completely gone down her body. Sakura was dressed in the same
white gown that she wore when she in heaven except now it sparkled like no
other. A white light descended from the sky and entered Sakura's body,
possessing her. Sakura opened her eyes, which were now silver, and spread out
her wings. She had six angels wings, three of them on each side of her back.
"T-This can't be...!" Rose yelled, "How can it be?!" "I am the Divine
Dragoon. The savior of this world," Sakura spoke, except it wasn't her voice.
It was actually a 'familiar' voice, but not hers'. She really was possessed.
"I will protect this world and its people. I won't allow you to hurt them.
People who work hard and live for the people they love. You will not be
forgiven," the Divine Dragoon said.
The entire dimension changed. They were all now floating in the depths of
outer space. The stars and planets around them shined brightly. Comets flew
above them. Rose looked around and was very scared. The Divine Dragoon put out
the palm of her hand as a special new bow appeared. The two ends of it were now
large wings, making the bow as tall as she was. She pointed it at Rose and
lifted her other hand into the sky. "From Soa's strength, I summon the seven
sacred elements," the Divine Dragoon said, "Come together as you have before to
vanquish the evil before and rid the world of any heartache." A blue ray of
light raced into her palm. And then a green one, purple one, gold one, black
one, red one and then finally a white one. The seven elements created a large
multi-colored arrow. The Divine Dragoon took it and placed it on the bow. She
aimed at Rose. "No!!!" Rose screamed. "Celestial Arrow!!!" the Divine Dragoon
shouted. The large arrow was fired and at the speed of light struck straight
through Rose's body. "Ahhhhh!!!!!" she shrieked as she melted away into dust.
The arrow continued onward and struck into The Abyss. The Abyss began to swerve
and shift form the side to side in pain. Little by little it began to shrink...
The skies outside began to change back to normal. The dark clouds and
lightning faded away. The blue sky returned as rays of white light shined down
upon the city. A rainbow arced across the sky. It was finally over.
Julie lied down inside the crater on top of some of the debris. She had
cuts and scrapes and dirt all over her. She slowly began to reawaken. "Uh..."
she grumbled, "What...happened?" "Ugh..." someone else grunted. Julie quickly
got up and turned around. David lied on the floor near her. "D-David!!!" she
cried happily. He got up onto his feet as Julie leaped into his arms. "You're
all right!!!" she shouted. David smiled, "I am...I'm glad you are too..."
"But, what happe...?" Julie began to ask when she saw Rouge and James in the
distance, "Rouge!! James!!" David and Julie rushed over to them. They both
helped them up. "Are you okay?" David asked as he helped James up. "Y-
Yeah...we're fine," Rouge replied. "We made it out alive," James realized, "How
can that be?" "Don't you all remember? We transferred all of our energy to
Sakura," Rouge explained. "Oh! That's right!" Julie remembered, "And then she
yelled..." "Divine Dragoon Power," David finished. "And then, there was a
white light and we ended up here," James said, "That means she must have did
it!!" "She must have. Look at the sky," Julie smiled.
"Everyone!!!" Drake shouted as he ran towards them. "Professor!!" David
yelled happily. David and Julie hugged him tightly when he arrived. "Oh, it's
so glad to see you all," Drake said, "You made it out all right. I knew you
would. I always believed you could accomplish anything." "It wasn't really us
though," Rouge said. "Wait," Drake realized when they broke their hug, "Where's
Bryant?" Tears welled up in Julie's and David's eyes. Julie went into David's
arms as she sobbed. "Wait, what does that mean...?" Drake asked. David looked
at him sadly. Drake realized what that look meant. The tears just welled up
as he held his head in his hands. He dropped to the floor, "N-No...That can't
be..." Rouge and James looked away sadly. "A-And...what of Sakura?" Drake
asked.
In that moment, a ray of white light shined down on them. They stood up
and together and looked up. The Divine Dragoon was descending. She landed in
front of them all. "You are...Sakura, aren't you?" Drake asked. She shook her
head, "No. I am Shana. I was the first White Silver Dragoon during the Dragon
Campaign War." "But, how?" Julie asked. "In order to transform herself, Sakura
needed my entity, my power, my spirit," she explained, "And she did wonderfully.
You all gave her your power in order for her to begin the transformation. Just
as my friends did for me centuries ago. It was meant to be." "And, what of
Rose?" James asked. "She was destroyed. There was no help for her now. But now,
that her spirit is free from the darkness, she'll be able to find peace," the
Divine Dragoon answered, "It seems it's time for me to go." "Thank you," David
said to her. She smiled, "Do not thank me. Thank Sakura." "We will," Rouge
said. "Be sure to tell her thank you for me as well," the Divine Dragoon
giggled, "Goodbye everyone. And thank you all." The white light left Sakura's
body and headed straight into the sky. The seven Dragoon Spirits went back to
their owners. The Red-Eye, White Silver and Dark Spirits went into Sakura's
pocket. The wings and the clothes disappeared. Sakura had returned to herself.
She gently opened her eyes. Her sight was a bit hazy, but once she got
used to it, she saw all of her friends standing before her. "E-Everyone...?"
she gasped. "Sakura!!!" Julie cried as she hugged her. "Oh, Julie..." Sakura
sobbed, "Thank you..." "No, thank you," Julie continued to cry, "You saved us
all." It was then David's turn. He also hugged her, "Nobody could have done it
better than you." "David..." Sakura cried as tears fell down her eyes. And
then, of course, Drake held her. "You see? All of that training paid off,
didn't it?" Drake joked. "P.D..." she sobbed. When she was done, she looked
over to Rouge and James. "I'm sorry for all of the trouble we've caused," Rouge
said. "I wish we could have done more," James sighed sadly. Sakura walked up
to them, "Don't ever think that. You fulfilled your role. If you both hadn't
been here, I would have never been able to transform myself. Thank you both."
Rouge and James smiled. "It's just..." Julie said sadly, "I wish we all could
have been here to celebrate..." Everyone's faces saddened. Their friend was
gone. Sakura reached into her pocket and took out the Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit.
She looked at it and began to cry, "Bryant..." She held it close to her heart
as she began to sob.
A note then gently fell from the sky like a feather. Sakura looked up and
caught it. She read it:
A reward for all of your hard work, milady.
Kai
The Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit floated from her hands and a feet away from
her. She turned around and gasped. Bryant began to appear as he held the
spirit in his hand. "B-Bryant...?" Sakura gasped again. "I told you I'd never
leave you," he told her. "Bryant!!!!" Sakura shouted as she ran over to him.
She landed right where she wanted to be, in his arms. They both looked up at
one another as if they hadn't seen each other in a lifetime. They kissed each
other romantically. Julie was wiping the tears from her eyes as she watched.
Everyone else smiled at the reunion. "I'm sorry for causing you so much
trouble," Bryant apologized. "No, don't be sorry. You were my strength, my
hope, my dream," she replied. Drake kneeled down to pick up the note, "It seems
Kai has a heart after all." Sakura looked up to the sky and thought, "Thank
you, Kai..." "What are you all waiting for?" Bryant asked his friends, "Get
over here!" Julie, David, and Drake hurried over to him. Each one of them gave
him a hug.
Rouge and James smiled from a far. "Shall we go?" James asked her. "Yes,
but...where will we go?" Rouge asked. "To wherever our hearts belong, as long
as we're together," James answered. Rouge smiled as she took him by the hand.
They turned around and began to leave. "Wait! Where are you going?!" she asked.
Rouge and James turned their heads to look at her. "Don't worry. You'll know
where to find us," Rouge smiled. "We'll see each other again," James added,
"Until then..." Sakura smiled and nodded, "Until then." Rouge and James walked
off together.
Sakura reached into her pocket and pulled out the Dark Dragoon Spirit.
"What should we do with that?" David asked. Sakura took it by her fist and
crushed into pieces. "That's good," Julie joked. The pieces of the spirit flew
off into the wind. Bryant walked up from behind her and held her in his arms.
Their friends followed and stood behind them. They all watched the beautiful
rainbow in the sky, together.
A week later...
The four heroes were back in school and back in class. They all sat
together in the back of the classroom talking together. "You know, we may have
destroyed the evil of The Abyss," Julie joked, "But, we still have to go through
the hells of school!" Sakura and Bryant laughed. "What are you talking about
Julie?" David asked, "I think school is great!" Julie patted him on his
shoulder, "You must be so oblivious..." "Oblivious?!" David asked, "Do you even
know what that means?!" "Of course I do! Are you calling me stupid?!" Julie
asked him angrily. "Well, if the shoe fits!" David yelled. Sweat drops fell on
Sakura and Bryant's heads. The principal walked into the classroom.
"Hello everyone," he said, "As you can all tell, your normal instructor is
not here today. Well, you see he had to be let go. But, don't you worry. We've
found a worthy replacement." The sliding door opened as the new teacher walked
in. He was dressed in a proper business suit. "Class, I would like you to
meet..." he began to say. The four heroes gasped when they saw who it was.
"Professor Drake," the principal finished. "Hello everyone. It's very nice to
meet you," Drake smiled.
The four Dragoons smiled at each other. They were happily surprised.
Sakura smiled to herself. Everything was finally working out. Her seat was
next to the open window. She closed her fist and then opened it. A cherry
blossom petals lied upon her palm. She put her hand facing the window and blew
it into the sky. She looked up through the window as the window took it.
The single cherry blossom petal was taken by the wind and through the sky,
over the city of Tokyo where so much had happened. After the petal's journey
across the city, it arrived at the balcony of Room 457. It landed beneath the
cherry blossom tree. It had magically grown in full and was blossoming
beautiful flowers. A metaphor it had always been.
The adventure was over. So much turmoil had happened through it all, but
so many memories and friendships were created. And what was most important, was
that they all achieved what they were looking for all along when they arrived
there. They had found their way to happiness...

The Legend of Dragoon
The Series
"James! Rouge!" Julie cried, "Please, stop this!" They said nothing.
They had no emotion, no expression on any part of their face.
We return to where we left off. Julie and David made it inside the
barrier and were now on the roof. James and Rouge were ready for battle.
"We don't have to fight!!" David yelled, "Help us!! You wanted to before!"
They just would not listen. James stepped forward and raised his large fist
into the air. "No, don't!!" David pleaded. "James! Can't you hear me?!" Julie
asked. James' fist began to emit a golden power. "Julie, watch out!" David
cried. "Grand Stream!!" James yelled as he rammed his into the ground. The
golden energy pulsated through it and headed towards Julie and David. Julie and
David swiftly leaped out of danger.
"Julie, we have no choice," David said as his staff appeared. He held
both hands on it, ready to fight. "But...!" Julie stuttered. "We can't get
through to them," David told her, "The darkness in their hearts is too powerful.
We have to fight. We have to save Sakura and Bryant, remember?" Julie didn't
want to have to fight them, but David was right. There was no other way. If
they didn't hurry, Sakura and Bryant could be killed. She held out her palm as
her sword appeared. She grabbed and pointed it at her opponents. Rouge and
James stood next to one another, ready. So did Julie and David. They're final
battle would begin.
The monstrous Professor Bach tried to bang his fist upon Bryant. Bryant
quickly flew out of the way and into the air. "What is this?!" he asked. "JUST
A LITTLE SOMETHING I CONJURED," Bach joked. He tried to swipe Bryant once
again. Bryant moved out of the way. The advantage Bryant had was that now that
Bach was bulky, he'd be slower. Bach continued to try and bash Bryant in with
his fist, but just wasn't fast enough. "NOW...HOLD STILL!!" he yelled. Fist
after fist. Soon enough, however, he managed to get a hit on Bryant. He bashed
Bryant into the side wall. Bryant created a massive dent. Bach tried to bash
him in even further. Bryant was quick to move away just before he would be hit.
Bach's fist went straight through the wall.
"I can't keep this up," Bryant told himself, "I've got to do something!"
He then looked over to the door where the throne room was. "I know Sakura's in
there," he thought, "I have to hurry before it's too late." Because Bryant was
thinking too much, Bach took the advantage and tried to hit him again. Luckily,
Bryant noticed in the split second and moved away.
The Red-Eye Dragoon lifted his fist into the air as fire began to
spiraling up his body and over to his fist. "Flame Shot!!!" he shouted as he
pointed his fist to Professor Bach. A massive fire blast occurred.
Bach used his huge palm and blocked the wave of fire. The fire didn't do
anything to his hand. "What?!" Bryant gasped. It seemed that not only did
Bach's strength increased, so did his resistance to magic. Bach struck through
the fire and wrapped his large fingers around Bryant's body. Bryant couldn't
get his arms loose. "LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE THIS..." Bach told him. He
squeezed Bryant's body even harder. "A-Agh!!!" Bryant screamed in pain.
"Bryant!!!!" Sakura screamed. She was still restrained onto the crucifix,
watching the two battles rage on within the two mirrors. "Isn't it wonderful?"
Rose asked, "Some of my own blood is in that mixture that mad scientist
conjured. But, even so, I never thought he would be able to kill one of you with
his bare hands." "Bryant..." Sakura sobbed.
The Divine Spirit
Rewarded Happiness
"It won't be long now..." Rose sighed nonchalantly as she filed her nails.
"How..." Sakura began, "How can any human be so cruel? Even one like you, who
has been alive for centuries!!" Rose stopped what she was doing and stood up to
hear what her prisoner had to say. "You...you were once a good person!!!"
Sakura cried, "You were apart of the first Dragoons! You helped them as they
helped you! But then, you betray them!!! Betray everything the Dragoon was!!
You're a disgrace!!!" "SHUT UP!!!" Rose shrieked as she blasted Sakura in the
chest with bolt of dark energy. "Agh!!" Sakura screamed. "How dare you speak
to me that way?!!" Rose yelled angrily, "You ignorant fool!! You don't know
ANYTHING!!!" Sakura, for the first time, could feel the pain in Rose's voice
and in her black heart. "You are right," Rose told her, "I was apart of the
good team. I was happy. I had everything I ever needed!! Friends,
family...love..." Sakura listened attentively to what Rose had to say. "But
then, that girl!!!" Rose screamed, "That stupid, moronic, bright-eyed girl came
in!!! She ruined everything!!!" Sakura knew she meant Shana. "She took him
away from me!! She took Dart away from me!!" Rose cried, "He and I were happy.
But then, Shana, the White Silver Dragoon came into the picture...She
deliberately took him away from me. And when she did...I couldn't live with
myself. I couldn't bare the pain! So, I vowed to get back at her and the best
way to do it was to join the Wingly side." "And what?" Sakura asked, "Is this
you trying to get me to feel sorry for you? So Dart met the woman he was meant
to be with for the rest of his life. Get over it. It's been centuries and yet
you still hold onto that grudge. You make me sick. You're pathetic!!!"
"Urgh!!!" Rose screamed as she ran to Sakura. She grabbed her by her neck and
squeezed it tight. There was so much hate and hurt in her eyes. But then, Rose
stopped and released her grip. She did slap Sakura across the face, however.
"Aha...I see what you're trying to do," Rose said, "You were trying to get me to
kill you so you wouldn't have to watch your friends die...Nice try." Rose
regained her composure and returned to her seat. "I won't give you that
satisfaction," Rose grinned, "Continue to watch...Ha ha ha ha!!!"
"HEHEH..." Bach grinned as he continued to squeeze Bryant's body, "I'M
GOING TO POP YOU LIKE A GRAPE." Bryant couldn't really do anything to Bach at
this point in the battle. His arms were trapped and could barely move. There
was no way to release himself from Bach's grip.
"Magic doesn't work..." he thought to himself, "But, maybe physical
attacks will." His sword appeared in the palm of one of his hands. His arms
could not move, but he pointed the sword upwards towards the palm of Bach's
fist. After a few seconds, he thrusted it upward and into Bach's skin.
"AHHH!!!" Bach screamed in pain as he let Bryant go. Bryant landed on his feet.
He held his sword ready for battle. Bach was now pretty angry and began to rush
over to Bryant. "This sword's not going to be able to cut through his flesh,"
Bryant thought, "But, maybe if I find something else..." Bach rammed his
downward upon Bryant, but Bryant flew out of the way. He quickly looked around
for something that could help him. Bach turned around and tried swiping him
again. Bryant moved out the way. Bach then tried again, and again, but Bryant
was just too quick for him. Bach began to close in on Bryant, however. There
were very little places to go in the hallway. Bach kept walking towards him as
Bryant moved backwards. Soon enough, Bryant's back was to the wall. There was
nowhere for him to run at this point. It looked like it was all over for him.
Bryant continued to look around for an answer before Bach was able to hit
him. He could see nothing at first. But then, he noticed the lights on the
ceiling. There was an electrical cable cemented in that, fortunately for him,
lead all the way to the wall he was in front of. Bryant now had a plan. "Come
on you big ugly monster! Try and hit me!" Bryant provoked him. Bach stood in
front of him, "ARE YOU MOCKING ME?" "That's right! You wannabe scientist!"
Bryant yelled. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" Bach asked angrily. "You'll never be
half the scientist Professor Drake is!!!" Bryant finished. That was the worst
insult you could say to him. "WHY YOU...?!!!" Bach yelled as he brought back
his fist. Bryant flew to the side just as Bach rammed his fist into the wall
and into the electrical cable. The electricity ran through Bach's body, causing
him to seizure. "This is my chance!" Bryant shouted. He was going to give out
the final blow.
Bryant gathered up all of his elemental fire energy and then released it
all at once. Because of that, his Dragoon wings changed into wings of burning
fire. He took his sword and grabbed it with both hands. He pointed it in front
of him as a semi-sphere of all kinds of red light covered him. "Final
Burst!!!!" he yelled out the spell and shot outward towards the monstrous and
electrocuted Bach. He slashed straight through his chest with an extreme fire
sword blast.
"NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bach screamed as he fell on down onto the floor,
completely lifeless. His body began to shrink back to its normal state. The
height left, the muscles gone. This time, however, he shrank back so much that
all that was left of the evil Professor Bach were his bones and his ripped up
clothes.
Bryant stood over his skeleton. "I'm sorry we couldn't help you," Bryant
said. He put out his hand as fire engulfed the skeleton. The skeleton began to
melt away into dust. Bryant turned to the door that led to the throne.
"Sakura," he said as he ran towards the door.
A large wave of fire broke through the main door. Rose stood up from her
chair and awaited Bryant's arrival. One of the mirrors shattered and faded
away. Bryant made it through his battle. He ran into the throne room
determinedly. "Welcome lover," Rose smiled.
Rouge raised her arms into the air calling out a spell, "Thunder Child!!"
From the black skies above, four purple lightning bolts fired downward towards
Rouge. Each of the bolts hit her two clenched fists and her two legs. A purple
orb made of light surrounded them. She twirled and spun around and then stopped
into an Asian style fighting stance.
Using her fighting spell, Rouge went after Julie. Julie had no fighting
skills whatsoever and didn't know how to respond to the attack. Rouge, in a
very fast pace, tried to punch Julie straight in the face. Julie used her sword
to protect her face, blocking the attack. Rouge spun around and tried back-
swiping her. Julie ducked. Then, Rouge did a roundhouse kick to Julie's chest,
pushing her back. Rouge continued to try and hit Julie wherever possible.
Julie did her best in either dodging or blocking the attack. "Rouge, please!"
Julie cried, "Please stop!" Rouge wouldn't listen to her and continued to kick
and punch. Julie kept getting pushed back and soon enough she arrived at the
edge of the roof. Julie looked back and saw the long way down. Rouge was
leaping towards her with her purple-orbed fist. Julie gasped and jumped to the
side. Rouge, obviously missed her. Rouge stopped facing Julie and prepared for
her next move. Julie put up her sword in order to protect herself. "What am I
supposed to do?" Julie thought to herself, "I just can't bring myself to hurting
Rouge..."
On the other side of the roof, James and David were having it out. David
took his staff and slashed down on James. James blocked it with his large
fists. Then, David tried to hitting him in the legs, but James jumped above
them. David twirled the staff in the air and tried to hit him again. James
swiftly moved. Quickly after, David spun around and slashed at him again.
James, again, moved out of the way. James decided after that to fight back. He
came at James with his bold fists and tried bash him into the ground. He tried
to punch him in the stomach, but David blocked it with his staff. In that
moment, David lifted his staff so that he swipe down on James. James took this
split-second in order bust David right in the chest. "Agh!!" David shouted as
he was blown back a good twenty-feet.
An image of the Earth appeared behind James. The earth itself released
from beneath David and entrapped him while lifting him into the air. The
Golden-Eye Dragoon floated up into the air, leveling with David. "Golden
Gaea!!!" he shouted as the image of the Earth began to shine a golden light. The
light engulfed James' body, giving him more strength. He pointed his hands to
the trapped David and released all of that energy given to him onto David.
"Ahhh!!!!!" David screamed as he was blown even farther back. He was
almost near the edge of the roof now. He was badly hurt. He had cuts, scrapes,
and bruises all over his face. His armor was badly damaged. Julie saw David in
trouble and hurried over to him. "David!!" she cried. She kneeled down next to
him, "Hang in there!" "Look out," David told her. Julie faced forward as Rouge
and James stood around ten-feet away from them.
"You must be proud of yourself for making it this far," Rose grinned, "I'd
pat you on the back, but then again you'd try to kill me." "Bryant!" Sakura
shouted, happy to see him. Bryant looked to his right to see Sakura upon the
crucifix. "Sakura!!" he cried as he ran to her. "You shouldn't be here!"
Sakura told him, "You're gonna get yourself hurt, or even worse!" "Don't expect
me to just sit around and let you do this alone," Bryant replied, "We'll do this
together." Bryant looked around for a way to get Sakura out of the crucifix.
"Don't worry. I'll get you out of here," he said. "Get away from her!" Rose
yelled. With the wave of a hand, she blew Bryant into the wall. "Bryant!!"
Sakura cried. "You didn't think I would make it that easy, did you?" Rose
smirked, "But...I'm actually glad you're here. Because, now you can watch as The
Abyss arrives and she can watch you die...in person." Rose walked over to the
pedestal where the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit sat. "You see this? Only
minutes to go before it is complete," she said. The Spirit was now almost
completely covered in darkness.
Bryant steadily got back up to his feet. "You Dragoons sure are
persistent," Rose stated, "But, I kind of admire that. It's too bad. If you all
wouldn't have been so foolish enough to try and stop us, we could have all
worked together." "We would never work with a psycho like you!" Bryant yelled.
Rose fired another dark blast at Sakura's chest. "Sakura!!" Bryant shouted.
"Every time you insult me, she gets it," Rose explained to him. "I won't..."
Bryant began as he clenched the fist in which held his sword., "I won't let you
do this!!!"
Bryant gathered up all of his elemental fire energy and then released it
all at once. Because of that, his Dragoon wings changed into wings of burning
fire. He took his sword and grabbed it with both hands. He pointed it in front
of him as a semi-sphere of all kinds of red light covered him. "Final
Burst!!!!" he yelled out the spell and shot outward towards Rose. He headed her
way with an extreme fire sword blast.
"Foolish boy," Rose said. Bryant came at her head on. When he arrived,
Rose put the palm of her hand very nonchalantly in front of her. She put up an
invisible barrier, that Bryant could not get through. He tried, and tried and
tried. He gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes. The perspiration came down
his face. He used all of his might in trying to defeat her. Rose, on the other
hand, was nowhere near breaking a sweat. Her new power was too strong for him
alone. He could do nothing, no matter how hard he wanted. "Be gone," she
grinned. With the same hand, she used the force Bryant was trying to inflict
upon her and blasted right back at him. "Aaagghh!!!!" Bryant screamed as flew
against the wall with the speed of light. He hit the wall so hard that he not
only created a dent, he was completely stuck within it. He couldn't move a
muscle. "That'll teach you to defy me," Rose smirked. "Bryant!!!" Sakura
cried.
Rouge summoned the Violet Thunder Dragon's power. It appeared for a
moment and almost possessed her. The dragon's power was absorbed as the Violet
Thunder Dragoon changes into the lightning form of the Violet Thunder Dragon,
"Thunder God!!!" She shot outward to both Julie and David, attacking them when
she hits them.
"Ahhh!!!!" Julie and David screamed as they skidded through the ground.
They were both hurt and didn't know if they could hang with Rouge or James any
longer. It looked as if Rouge and James had won. But, they weren't through yet.
Rouge and James weren't going to let up on them until they killed them.
The Golden-Eye Dragoon called upon the power of the Earth. He raised his
arms into the air as large boulders broke off from the ground. Elemental energy
emitted from them. "Meteor Strike!!!" he yelled as the boulders hit struck down
on Julie and David like meteors flying from space.
The two Dragoons screamed again as they were hit in all parts of their
bodies. They had no more strength to fight it seemed. Their bodies had taken
too much of a beating for them to fight back. There was nothing they could do.
It was over. Rouge and James began to approach them. "J-Julie..." David spoke.
He looked at her sympathetically. He really felt this was the end. However,
Julie wasn't going to have it. She couldn't let this end as it is. She hasn't
saved Sakura and Bryant yet. And at that moment, the kind and cheerful words
that Meru had said to her appeared in her mind.
"You don't believe your role's important?!" Meru gasped, "Don't you ever
think that!" "You know, I sometimes used to think I just thought I came along
for comical relief or something. But, then, when the Sea Wave Dragon chose
ME...it changed everything. I knew I had an important role to fulfill. And you
wanna know what that was?" Meru explained, "To protect our savior, the White
Silver Dragoon. Or, the one you call Sakura."
"She was right," Julie said, "My role hasn't been fulfilled yet." Rouge
and James continued to approach. Julie got up onto her knees and held her hands
over her Sea Wave Dragoon Spirit. "Julie, what are you...doing?" David asked
weakly. "Sea Wave Dragoon Spirit!" Julie called as it began to glow, "Let your
calm waters become a healer! Show these two before you what they've forgotten!"
From beneath both Rouge and James, water spiraled up them and surrounded their
entire bodies. It was trying heal and drain the darkness in their spirits.
Both of them began to remember all of their precious memories:
On a day long ago, James walked into the hallway towards her bedroom with
a suitcase. Rouge walked behind her, "Hello there." He turned around to see
her, "Uh...hi." "I'm guessing you're James?" she asked. He smiled and nodded,
"Yes, I am." "Well, I'm Rouge," Rouge told him as they shook hands, "I suppose
we'll being together here, right?" "Yah, I guess so," James replied. "I just
wanted to say hello and...I hope we become close friends," Rouge smiled. "Y-
Yeah...me too," James blushed.
The time when Rouge and James first expressed their love to one another
was next after that.
"What I did...to you...was wrong. I know this," James began, "I didn't
mean to. But, a friend told me, that we even make mistakes involving those we
love most." "Oh, James...I," Rouge began to say. "Let me finish," he stopped
her, "This friend also told me that it was up to me to fix it. And that one way
to do it...would be...to show you how much I care about you. How much I...love
you." "James..." Rouge gasped. Tears welled up in her eyes. "And that is the
truth..." James told her, "I do love you Rouge. Like a friend, like a sister,
and beyond that." "J-James..." Rouge blushed and then smiled, "I...I love you
too." James smiled back. They both paused for a moment as they looked into
each other's eyes. They both leaned into one another, slowly. But soon enough,
their lips would meet. They finally showed each other how they really felt
about each other.
And then finally, they remembered when Haschel and Kongol spoke with them.
"SHOULD BE PROUD OF SELF," Kongol told her, "OVERCAME EVIL IN HEART.
HELPED OTHER DRAGOONS." "He's right," Haschel agreed, "You have overcome the
evil that had plagued you before. But, you can redeem yourself." "We can't do
that!" James yelled, "If we do...if we do...!" "HAVE NOT OVERCOME EVIL YET,"
Kongol said to him, "WILL IN TIME." "Yes, you will," Haschel added, "You still
haven't overcome it. When you do, you'll know what it is you truly want. And
when you do..." "SHALL FIND HAPPINESS WITH ONE YOU LOVE," Kongol said. James
looked over at Rouge. She was the one he loved most. "That is all that we can
tell you," Haschel said as he faded away. "OVERCOME EVIL, FIND HAPPINESS.
REMEMBER," Kongol finished as he smiled. He and Haschel faded away.
The water surrounding them disappeared. Rouge and James began to fall.
"James!" Julie cried. "Rouge!" David shouted. They both hurried over to catch
them. "James?" Julie asked, "Are you all right?" James and Rouge both looked
up at them. Their eyes had returned to their normal color. "D-David...?" Rouge
asked. "Yeah, yeah! It's me!" David replied excitedly. "They're back!!!" Julie
cried. She hugged James as she cried. She was so happy they were back. "Thank
you, Julie," James smiled, "You saved us..." James and Julie broke their hug.
They all stood up. Julie and Rouge smiled to one another and then hugged each
other as well. James and David did the same. "Thank you so much!" Rouge cried,
"If it weren't for you...!" "Hey, but you both are hurt!" James stated. "It's
all right," David replied, "We'll make it." "It's not over yet though," Julie
said ominously.
The darkness completely covered the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit. The
countdown was finished. Rose looked at it greedily, "It's time..." "No!!!"
Sakura screamed. "Stop it!!!" Bryant yelled, "Don't do it!!!" Rose took the
now black Dragoon Spirit and held it up into the air. She grinned as evilly as
anyone could possibly grin. She called out the spell, "NON-ELEMENTAL DRAGOON
POWER!!!" "No!!!!" Sakura cried.
The entire building began to shake and collapse. However, Sakura and
Bryant still couldn't break free. "Ha ha ha ha!!!!" Rose laughed maliciously.
A strange darkness engulfed her body. The ceiling itself began to crack and
give way.
Julie, David, Rouge, and James looked down into the throne through the
large opening the earthquake created. "Sakura!!!!" Julie cried, "Bryant!!!!"
Sakura and Bryant both looked up to see their friends. "Julie! Everyone!"
Sakura smiled, "I'm glad I got to see you again!" "But, you've got to get out
of here! The entire building is going to collapse!!" Bryant yelled. "We can't
leave you!!" David shouted. "We'll get you out!" James shouted. "It's too
late! You've got to...!" Sakura began to yell to them. But, the floor beneath
Bryant and her began to crack and finally gave way. "Ahhh!!!!" Sakura and
Bryant screamed as they fell. "No!!!" Rouge screamed. They would join them,
however. The entire ceiling gave way and collapsed this time. The four
Dragoons could do nothing to stop it. They all fell helplessly into the dark
abyss that was being created.
A beam of black light shot upward into the sky. In just a few seconds it
disappeared, along with the Kenkaku Headquarters. All that was left was a large
crater in the city.
Sakura, scratched and bruised, lied down on some sort of stone platform.
She had some rocks and dirt covering her body. When she awoke, she pushed them
off of her and dusted the dirt off. When she looked around, she was in some
sort of different dimension. The stone platform she was on seemed to float in
the middle of some sort of space. The surrounding space was colored in dark red
and orange shades. She looked behind her to see Julie, David, Rouge, and James
floating out in the space. It seemed there was only gravity on the platform.
"Everyone!!" Sakura cried as she got onto her feet and turned to them.
"S-Sakura..." Julie smiled. "We're glad you're all right," David told her.
"For a minute there, we didn't think you'd make it," James added. "Don't worry
about us. We'll be all right," Rouge said. "Thank you," she replied.
"It seems she has awoken," a female raspy voice spoke. Sakura turned
around to see who it was. There was large, pulsating, and growing black dome in
the distance. In front of it, was the demon herself. Sakura gasped at what she
saw. It was a new and improved Rose.
Rose had transformed herself into a dark demon. Instead of the Dragoon
Armor being armor, it morphed into her own skin. She had sharp, thick spikes on
her shoulder blades. Her wings were real devilish, black ones. Instead of only
two wings, there were four; two on each side. At the end of each point of the
wings were claws. Rose's hands were also claws now with long sharp nails. And
as for her face, her eyes were now a bloody red. They looked like reptile eyes.
Rose's face was now a dark gray and she carried fangs for teeth. She was now a
demon from the depths of hell.
"How do you like the new look?" she joked. "I-I can't believe it..."
Rouge gasped. "She's no longer human," David said. "You really are a monster,"
Sakura told her. "I suppose," Rose replied as she approached her, "But, I think
the correct term...is Wingly." "What?!" David gasped. "You see...when you
release the power of the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit, the demon spirit of the
Winglies possesses and you and well...changes you into this," Rose explained to
them. Everyone couldn't believe what they were hearing. Not only were they
facing The Abyss, they were facing a Wingly. "Oh, and what you see behind me is
The Abyss itself," Rose pointed out, "You see how it grows. Soon it will grown
and grow and grow until it has swallowed up this planet." "I won't let you do
that!!" Sakura yelled. She lifted her right arm into the air. "Gate of
Heaven!!" she shouted. The gate to heaven appeared above Rose, facing down on
her. Rose was nowhere near worried. The gate began to open. But, Rose simply
punched straight through it, shattering it. "No!!" Sakura gasped. "Now, it's
my turn," Rose told her, "Hah!!" She blasted a huge amount of dark bolts of
lightning at Sakura. "Sakura!!" Bryant yelled as he grabbed her and pushed her
aside. The blast hit the ground and exploded. Rose's power was unimaginable.
"Everyone! We've gotta help them!" Julie shouted. The others nodded.
Each one of them began one of their spells. "Sea Wave...!!" Julie cried.
"Emerald...!!" David shouted. "Golden...!!" James yelled. "Thunder...!!" Rouge
began. "Be gone!" Rose yelled as she blasted them with another of those massive
dark bolts. "Everyone!!" Sakura shouted. They were all hurt pretty badly. "D-
Don't...worry," David grimaced, "We're...all right." "David..." Bryant said.
Rose put out her hand as a special sword appeared within it.
The sword was very large. The handle was long. At the very beginning of
the blade, the mouth of a dragon was created, leading to the blade. The blade
was shaped like flames. The bottom of it was yellow and the as it went up went
from orange to red.
"What is that?!" Rouge gasped as she held her arm in pain. "This my dear
Dragoons, is called..." Rose began, "The Dragon Buster." "Dragon...Buster?"
James asked. "This is the only forged weapon that can destroy a Dragoon," she
explained, "It was going to be the Winglies trump card during the war. However,
the Divine Dragoon was summoned before they could even use it. Now, who shall I
use it on first? How about...my rival?" "No, keep Sakura out of this!!" Bryant
yelled as he stood up to protect her. Bryant took out his sword and prepared
for battle. "Bryant, no! What are you doing?!" Sakura yelled. "Bryant, don't
do it!" Julie cried from above. "Are you planning on challenging me?" Rose
asked. "I'll do anything to protect Sakura," Bryant replied. "Bryant, don't!"
Sakura pleaded. Bryant looked down to her and smiled, "Save a kiss for me."
"Bryant..." Sakura gasped. He ran into battle.
"Hah!!!!" he yelled as he approached Rose. Rose did nothing but stand
there and wait for him to make the move. As he ran, he lifted his sword ready
to strike. Rose smirked as she pulled back the Dragon Buster...and plunged in.
The sound of the blade going through his Dragoon Spirit echoed through all of
Bryant's friends' minds, especially Sakura.
They all gasped and couldn't breath for that second. Sakura's eyes began
to tear. She watched the blade go through Bryant's chest and then be pulled
back out. Bryant began to fall to the floor lifelessly. "BRYANT!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs. As Bryant began to fall, he remembered
his conversation with Dart:
"You want to be with her forever, don't you?" Dart asked. "Y-Yes," Bryant
replied. "Then, you'd risk your life to protect her?" he asked. "Yes, I would.
I would do anything for her. Even die, if that's what it took," Bryant answered
truthfully and honestly.
He then fell to the floor. "Bryant!!!!" Sakura screamed as she ran over
to him. Julie and David began to cry. They were speechless. They didn't know
what to say, or what to do. Sakura kneeled next to him and held his head in her
arms. "Bryant!!!" she sobbed, the tears streaming non-stop. He only smiled at
her. "What were you thinking?!" she yelled. "I wanted...to make sure...I
protected you..." he replied softly. "What?" she gasped, "How can you protect
me now...now that you're...?" Bryant slowly and gently placed his hand on her
cheek and wiped her tears, "It's all right...It'll be all right." "No, no it
won't!!" she cried, "Bryant, you can't leave me!!! You promised me you'd be with
me forever! Do you remember that?" He smiled, "Yeah, I do. I'm sorry I broke
it..." Sakura grabbed his hand and held it tight, "Bryant..." Bryant's armor
then disappeared from his body. His broken Dragoon Spirit fell to the floor.
His body began to fade away and became transparent. "Ah! No!!" she cried,
"Bryant, you can't die!!!" Bryant laid his head on her chest, "Your heart is so
warm...so gentle..." Sakura couldn't stop crying, it wasn't her fault though.
"Sakura..." he said as he closed his eyes, "I'll...always love you..." His body
then completely faded away and turned into red sparkling lights. Sakura gasped
as her eyes watered even more. The red sparkling lights flew up into the sky.
"B-Bryant..." Julie sobbed. "N-No..." Sakura cried, "NOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
"It was about time I put him out of his misery. He was so annoying," Rose
smirked. Sakura stood up to her feet and clenched her fists, "Return him to
me." "What was that?" Rose asked nonchalantly. Sakura turned around to face
her, "GIVE BRYANT BACK TO ME!!!" She began to approach Rose when Rose blew her
back. "Agh!!!" Sakura cried as she hit the floor. "Sakura!!" her friends
shouted from up above. "Shut up!!" Rose yelled as she blasted them all as well.
This time, they were knocked unconscious.
Sakura was on the floor on her hands and knees. She instantly remembered
something that Kai had told her before:
"The Abyss is something you'd never imagine. Even more devastating than
the world coming to an end."
"Answer me this..." Sakura said. "Oh, all right. What is it?" Rose
replied. "I was told...The Abyss was something even more devastating than the
world coming to an end..." Sakura explained, "What does that mean?" "Ohh...so
nobody was able to tell you that," Rose smirked, "Well...for someone like you it
would seem even more devastating." "H-How...?" Sakura asked. "When The Abyss
arrives..." she began to say, "Everyone in this world...will lose the feeling of
the people they love most." "What?!" Sakura gasped as she looked at Rose.
"When the world is covered by its darkness, everyone will forget that they even
had a person they loved most," Rose explained, "And, everyone involved with the
Dragoons in this time...well, it would be as if it never happened." "No..."
Sakura cried. She looked back to her unconscious friends, "We would have never
met...Everyone would lose the feeling of the people they love most..." The
image of Bryant smiling at her appeared in her mind as cherry blossom petals
gently fell. He soon faded away. "Even mine..." she sobbed. "That's right,"
Rose told her, "You will forget...everything." "I-I..." Sakura began as she got
up onto her feet, "I will...never let that happen!!!!" Sakura flew towards Rose
ready to attack her. However, right when she was about to hit her, a blob of
darkness surrounded Sakura's arms and legs and held her up. Because of the
momentum shift, Sakura's golden brace that she wore in her hair fell to the
floor. Sakura's hair was now loose. "You try and try," Rose said, "But it's to
no avail. Why don't you see that?" Sakura couldn't stop crying. There was just
so much in her heart. She didn't want to lose everyone. She didn't want to
forget. "So, I guess I won't have to go through the trouble of killing you all,
because in the next world...you won't even remember me," Rose smirked, "How
ironic." Rose turned around and began to walk away.
Sakura then remembered something Bryant had told her before. She saw an
image of his smile in her mind as she heard it:
"No matter where I am or even if we never even met. I would always know
that there was something missing in my life. And that would be you and your
love."
"That's not true..." Sakura said. "What?" Rose asked, "What did you say?"
She turned around to look at her. "Our love for one another is strong! No
matter what force is against us...even if we would all forget...All of us would
live our lives knowing that there was something missing!!" Sakura cried, "I
won't let you take that away." "And what exactly are you going to do about it?"
Rose asked her. "Divine Dragoon Power!!" Sakura yelled. Nothing happened.
"What are you doing?" Rose asked, a bit annoyed. "Divine Dragoon Power!!" she
yelled again. "Okay, this is now sad and pathetic," Rose giggled. "Divine
Dragoon...Power!!" Sakura sobbed. One of her tears fell off of her cheek and
onto her golden brace. It began to glow. It levitated into the air and in
front of Sakura.
Julie weakly opened her eyes. Her blue Dragoon Spirit began to shine.
"Sakura..." she sighed. The Dragoon Spirit flew from her body, her armor
disappearing. David also began to awaken, "Sakura..." His green Dragoon Spirit
also beginning to shine. It left from his armor as it disappeared. The same
happened with Rouge and James. They called out Sakura's name, "Sakura..."
Their Dragoon Spirits shined and then flew from their armors. The broken and
cracked Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit began to shine and was put back together. It
levitated from the ground.
The black blob that constrained Sakura disintegrated, releasing her.
Sakura's Dragoon Spirit also began to shine and left her armor, leaving her back
in her clothes. The Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit that Rose had on her chest,
also began to shine and broke free from her. "W-What?!" she gasped. The Dark
Dragoon Spirit appeared from the Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit. That spirit then
shattered as the Dark Dragoon Spirit flew over with the others. "No! What's
going on?!" Rose yelled.
The seven Dragoon Spirits of the elements surrounded the golden brace.
They all transformed into energy and combined with one another inside the
opening in the brace. The Divine Dragoon Spirit had been created within the
golden brace. It shined like no other object seen. It floated over to Sakura's
hands. She lifted it into the air. "W-What are you going?" Rose asked. Sakura
called out the spell:
Divine Dragoon Power!
The golden brace lifted into the air above her. It expanded so that it
would cover her entire body. The white light also expanded with it. It slowly
came down upon her body. And as it went down, she was transforming. After a
while, it had completely gone down her body. Sakura was dressed in the same
white gown that she wore when she in heaven except now it sparkled like no
other. A white light descended from the sky and entered Sakura's body,
possessing her. Sakura opened her eyes, which were now silver, and spread out
her wings. She had six angels wings, three of them on each side of her back.
"T-This can't be...!" Rose yelled, "How can it be?!" "I am the Divine
Dragoon. The savior of this world," Sakura spoke, except it wasn't her voice.
It was actually a 'familiar' voice, but not hers'. She really was possessed.
"I will protect this world and its people. I won't allow you to hurt them.
People who work hard and live for the people they love. You will not be
forgiven," the Divine Dragoon said.
The entire dimension changed. They were all now floating in the depths of
outer space. The stars and planets around them shined brightly. Comets flew
above them. Rose looked around and was very scared. The Divine Dragoon put out
the palm of her hand as a special new bow appeared. The two ends of it were now
large wings, making the bow as tall as she was. She pointed it at Rose and
lifted her other hand into the sky. "From Soa's strength, I summon the seven
sacred elements," the Divine Dragoon said, "Come together as you have before to
vanquish the evil before and rid the world of any heartache." A blue ray of
light raced into her palm. And then a green one, purple one, gold one, black
one, red one and then finally a white one. The seven elements created a large
multi-colored arrow. The Divine Dragoon took it and placed it on the bow. She
aimed at Rose. "No!!!" Rose screamed. "Celestial Arrow!!!" the Divine Dragoon
shouted. The large arrow was fired and at the speed of light struck straight
through Rose's body. "Ahhhhh!!!!!" she shrieked as she melted away into dust.
The arrow continued onward and struck into The Abyss. The Abyss began to swerve
and shift form the side to side in pain. Little by little it began to shrink...
The skies outside began to change back to normal. The dark clouds and
lightning faded away. The blue sky returned as rays of white light shined down
upon the city. A rainbow arced across the sky. It was finally over.
Julie lied down inside the crater on top of some of the debris. She had
cuts and scrapes and dirt all over her. She slowly began to reawaken. "Uh..."
she grumbled, "What...happened?" "Ugh..." someone else grunted. Julie quickly
got up and turned around. David lied on the floor near her. "D-David!!!" she
cried happily. He got up onto his feet as Julie leaped into his arms. "You're
all right!!!" she shouted. David smiled, "I am...I'm glad you are too..."
"But, what happe...?" Julie began to ask when she saw Rouge and James in the
distance, "Rouge!! James!!" David and Julie rushed over to them. They both
helped them up. "Are you okay?" David asked as he helped James up. "Y-
Yeah...we're fine," Rouge replied. "We made it out alive," James realized, "How
can that be?" "Don't you all remember? We transferred all of our energy to
Sakura," Rouge explained. "Oh! That's right!" Julie remembered, "And then she
yelled..." "Divine Dragoon Power," David finished. "And then, there was a
white light and we ended up here," James said, "That means she must have did
it!!" "She must have. Look at the sky," Julie smiled.
"Everyone!!!" Drake shouted as he ran towards them. "Professor!!" David
yelled happily. David and Julie hugged him tightly when he arrived. "Oh, it's
so glad to see you all," Drake said, "You made it out all right. I knew you
would. I always believed you could accomplish anything." "It wasn't really us
though," Rouge said. "Wait," Drake realized when they broke their hug, "Where's
Bryant?" Tears welled up in Julie's and David's eyes. Julie went into David's
arms as she sobbed. "Wait, what does that mean...?" Drake asked. David looked
at him sadly. Drake realized what that look meant. The tears just welled up
as he held his head in his hands. He dropped to the floor, "N-No...That can't
be..." Rouge and James looked away sadly. "A-And...what of Sakura?" Drake
asked.
In that moment, a ray of white light shined down on them. They stood up
and together and looked up. The Divine Dragoon was descending. She landed in
front of them all. "You are...Sakura, aren't you?" Drake asked. She shook her
head, "No. I am Shana. I was the first White Silver Dragoon during the Dragon
Campaign War." "But, how?" Julie asked. "In order to transform herself, Sakura
needed my entity, my power, my spirit," she explained, "And she did wonderfully.
You all gave her your power in order for her to begin the transformation. Just
as my friends did for me centuries ago. It was meant to be." "And, what of
Rose?" James asked. "She was destroyed. There was no help for her now. But now,
that her spirit is free from the darkness, she'll be able to find peace," the
Divine Dragoon answered, "It seems it's time for me to go." "Thank you," David
said to her. She smiled, "Do not thank me. Thank Sakura." "We will," Rouge
said. "Be sure to tell her thank you for me as well," the Divine Dragoon
giggled, "Goodbye everyone. And thank you all." The white light left Sakura's
body and headed straight into the sky. The seven Dragoon Spirits went back to
their owners. The Red-Eye, White Silver and Dark Spirits went into Sakura's
pocket. The wings and the clothes disappeared. Sakura had returned to herself.
She gently opened her eyes. Her sight was a bit hazy, but once she got
used to it, she saw all of her friends standing before her. "E-Everyone...?"
she gasped. "Sakura!!!" Julie cried as she hugged her. "Oh, Julie..." Sakura
sobbed, "Thank you..." "No, thank you," Julie continued to cry, "You saved us
all." It was then David's turn. He also hugged her, "Nobody could have done it
better than you." "David..." Sakura cried as tears fell down her eyes. And
then, of course, Drake held her. "You see? All of that training paid off,
didn't it?" Drake joked. "P.D..." she sobbed. When she was done, she looked
over to Rouge and James. "I'm sorry for all of the trouble we've caused," Rouge
said. "I wish we could have done more," James sighed sadly. Sakura walked up
to them, "Don't ever think that. You fulfilled your role. If you both hadn't
been here, I would have never been able to transform myself. Thank you both."
Rouge and James smiled. "It's just..." Julie said sadly, "I wish we all could
have been here to celebrate..." Everyone's faces saddened. Their friend was
gone. Sakura reached into her pocket and took out the Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit.
She looked at it and began to cry, "Bryant..." She held it close to her heart
as she began to sob.
A note then gently fell from the sky like a feather. Sakura looked up and
caught it. She read it:
A reward for all of your hard work, milady.
Kai
The Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit floated from her hands and a feet away from
her. She turned around and gasped. Bryant began to appear as he held the
spirit in his hand. "B-Bryant...?" Sakura gasped again. "I told you I'd never
leave you," he told her. "Bryant!!!!" Sakura shouted as she ran over to him.
She landed right where she wanted to be, in his arms. They both looked up at
one another as if they hadn't seen each other in a lifetime. They kissed each
other romantically. Julie was wiping the tears from her eyes as she watched.
Everyone else smiled at the reunion. "I'm sorry for causing you so much
trouble," Bryant apologized. "No, don't be sorry. You were my strength, my
hope, my dream," she replied. Drake kneeled down to pick up the note, "It seems
Kai has a heart after all." Sakura looked up to the sky and thought, "Thank
you, Kai..." "What are you all waiting for?" Bryant asked his friends, "Get
over here!" Julie, David, and Drake hurried over to him. Each one of them gave
him a hug.
Rouge and James smiled from a far. "Shall we go?" James asked her. "Yes,
but...where will we go?" Rouge asked. "To wherever our hearts belong, as long
as we're together," James answered. Rouge smiled as she took him by the hand.
They turned around and began to leave. "Wait! Where are you going?!" she asked.
Rouge and James turned their heads to look at her. "Don't worry. You'll know
where to find us," Rouge smiled. "We'll see each other again," James added,
"Until then..." Sakura smiled and nodded, "Until then." Rouge and James walked
off together.
Sakura reached into her pocket and pulled out the Dark Dragoon Spirit.
"What should we do with that?" David asked. Sakura took it by her fist and
crushed into pieces. "That's good," Julie joked. The pieces of the spirit flew
off into the wind. Bryant walked up from behind her and held her in his arms.
Their friends followed and stood behind them. They all watched the beautiful
rainbow in the sky, together.
A week later...
The four heroes were back in school and back in class. They all sat
together in the back of the classroom talking together. "You know, we may have
destroyed the evil of The Abyss," Julie joked, "But, we still have to go through
the hells of school!" Sakura and Bryant laughed. "What are you talking about
Julie?" David asked, "I think school is great!" Julie patted him on his
shoulder, "You must be so oblivious..." "Oblivious?!" David asked, "Do you even
know what that means?!" "Of course I do! Are you calling me stupid?!" Julie
asked him angrily. "Well, if the shoe fits!" David yelled. Sweat drops fell on
Sakura and Bryant's heads. The principal walked into the classroom.
"Hello everyone," he said, "As you can all tell, your normal instructor is
not here today. Well, you see he had to be let go. But, don't you worry. We've
found a worthy replacement." The sliding door opened as the new teacher walked
in. He was dressed in a proper business suit. "Class, I would like you to
meet..." he began to say. The four heroes gasped when they saw who it was.
"Professor Drake," the principal finished. "Hello everyone. It's very nice to
meet you," Drake smiled.
The four Dragoons smiled at each other. They were happily surprised.
Sakura smiled to herself. Everything was finally working out. Her seat was
next to the open window. She closed her fist and then opened it. A cherry
blossom petals lied upon her palm. She put her hand facing the window and blew
it into the sky. She looked up through the window as the window took it.
The single cherry blossom petal was taken by the wind and through the sky,
over the city of Tokyo where so much had happened. After the petal's journey
across the city, it arrived at the balcony of Room 457. It landed beneath the
cherry blossom tree. It had magically grown in full and was blossoming
beautiful flowers. A metaphor it had always been.
The adventure was over. So much turmoil had happened through it all, but
so many memories and friendships were created. And what was most important, was
that they all achieved what they were looking for all along when they arrived
there. They had found their way to happiness...
