The Legend of Dragoon
Generation
The skies were covered in dark gray clouds with bolts of dark lightning
hurling down towards the city. What was even more shocking was that the hooded
man and his associates were floating above their balcony in the sky. The three
of them with evil grins on their faces laughed maliciously. "You...!" Sakura
yelled. "The time for war has begun," the hooded man spoke, "You'll see my true
power." "And you'll se ours'!" David replied to him. The hooded man laughed at
his response, "You think you all are so strong, don't you? Wait until you face
my true strength. You all will face reality first hand." The group gritted
their teeth in frustration and disgust. "Tomorrow, we shall face one
another...Divine Dragoon," the hooded man said, "You will know where to find
me..." He and his henchmen faded away into the dark sky.
Sakura knew he wasn't making idle threats. He was being serious. She was the
only one who could really and truly sense his strength. She knew what to fear.
Tomorrow would be a day of reckoning. It would be the day that would change
their lives forever. It will be the day where their true mission is finally
revealed.
The group of warriors stood still on the balcony of the dorm room. Neither of
them could say a word. No one knew what to say or what to do. They had no idea
what their other friends were thinking. And what about the people of the city?
They had to endure such conditions during the final battle against Rose and the
Non-Elemental Dragoon Spirit. Who knew what they were thinking or feeling?
Sakura, who was in front, slowly turned around to her friends. Her friends
awaited for her to speak. She was their leader, strongest, and most important
warrior. They knew she would make the right choices. "We...have no choice, do
we?" Sakura spoke. "What do you mean?" James asked her. "It's time to battle,"
Sakura replied with the utmost determination. "He said tomorrow..." Julie
sighed, "I guess we'd better enjoy these moments, huh?" David put his hand on
her shoulder, "Don't worry." "Yes. Like I told Sakura, we're all together now.
It'll be okay," Rouge added. Julie smiled, "Right." "What do you think we
should do professor?" Bryant asked. He went to Drake for guidance and wisdom.
"It's like Sakura said. There are no other options," Drake explained, "We must
fight." The six Dragoons nodded in agreement.
They all turned back towards the clouded city. Lightning bolts of darkness and
hatred struck down from the sky above. Sakura took out her Dragoon Spirit and
held it close to her heart.
The First of Many
Their Shines Go Out
The early morning had arrived. The skies did not change. It was as if it were
an eternal night for the entire city. The streets were deserted, for all of the
innocent people were safe in their homes away from the danger...for now.
The hooded man stood upon a building rooftop looking over upon the once vibrant
city. His cloak swerved in the cold wind as he stared. Misu and Ren appeared
behind him. They put their arm on their chest and kneeled down. "Master, is
there anything you wish for us to do?" Ren asked. "For now, there is nothing I
need you to do," he replied. "But, master, what of the Dragoons?" Misu asked.
"Leave the Dragoons to me," the hooded man answered sternly, "They belong to me.
I'll finish them off...myself."
It was around 6 'o clock in the morning. Everyone in Room 457 was asleep in
their rooms. They tried their best to rest for the day they had ahead of them.
Not all of them were asleep, however. Two of them stood next to the kitchen in
the darkness.
It was Rouge and James. They didn't turn on any lights so they didn't wake
anybody. They were both dressed and ready to leave. "It's time," James
whispered. Rouge nodded in agreement. They quietly made their way over to the
bedroom. Rouge slowly opened the door. The four other Dragoons were fast
asleep in their beds. They looked so innocent and so peaceful. "Until we meet
again..." James said softly. He almost looked saddened. "Sakura...we won't
have you fight anymore," Rouge added, "Be happy..." She then closed the door.
They headed towards the balcony door and silently slid the door open. They
stood outside watching the scene they had first seen hours ago. Nothing had
changed. "Are you sure it's okay we don't say goodbye to her?" Rouge asked. "I
wish we could, Rouge," James replied, "But, you know she wouldn't let us go if
we told her." "You're right," Rouge agreed, "We will protect her." "Yes. As
the Dragoons of Thunder and Earth...we will protect our lady," James said
stalwartly. "We'll end this suffering...ourselves," Rouge finished. "Let's
go," James told her. They both reached into their pockets and got ready to set
out for the battle that was ahead.
Violet Thunder Dragoon Power!
Out of Rouge's violet spirit, purple lightning bolts shot out and transitioned
into the actual transformation sequence. There was a background colored in dark
violet that moved downward rapidly. She turned around, her back shown, as now
her naked body was a violet silhouette. She spread out her silhouetted arms as
the lightning bolts shot up from under her, and surrounded her like a tornado.
After a couple of seconds, the surrounding lightning broke away showing Rouge in
her 'Violet Thunder Dragoon Armor'. Her hair returned to its old style of two
buns, now wrapped in shimmering purple ribbon. Her armor glistened its purple
shades. Her weapon, a whip that was connected to her glove, appeared. She
ended the transformation in a stance, with her holding the end of the whip.
Golden-Eye Dragoon Power!
The 'Golden-Eye Dragoon Spirit' shined brilliant beams of golden light,
transitioning into James' transformation sequence. The golden shaded
backgrounds moved diagonally upwards, as James' golden silhouette spun around
slowly twice. He stopped, like Rouge, with his back showing. He spread out his
arms as gold-colored, different shaped rocks shot upwards around him. He was
covered in the shining golden rocks of the earth. In a matter of seconds, the
rocks that surrounded him exploded off. The Golden-Eye Dragoon, in his shining
winged armor, stood there. He clenched his bulky fists in front of him and then
spun around once more. He ended the transformation in a fighting stance, his
fists held up.
Rouge and James looked at each other once more. They smiled at each other.
Then after, their Dragoon wings spread outward. They both looked up towards the
sky as they slowly lifted. Within moments, they shot outward like rockets
lifting off into the dark sky.
Sakura's dream instantly flooded her mind. She was standing in her nightgown in
what seemed to be pitch darkness. However, she glowed making herself seen. "W-
Where am I?" she asked. Two colored lights then peered through the darkness
behind her. One was gold and the other violet. Sakura turned around to see it.
"What...is this warm light?" she asked herself. And in that instant, a huge
giant-like version of the hooded man appeared behind the two shining lights. He
laughed maliciously as the two lights faded away into the darkness. "No!!!"
Sakura screamed.
She immediately woke up from the dream thereafter. She lifted up from her bed
and wiped the perspiration from her forehead. "There it is again...that dream,"
Sakura told herself quietly, "Except...this time it was much more vivid than
ever before." She decided to get up from her bed and head towards the kitchen.
She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She soon passed by the living room and noticed
two neatly folded blankets on the sofas. That was where Rouge and James were
supposed to be sleeping. "Huh...?!" Sakura gasped. She swiftly looked around
the entire room. She hurried towards the bathrooms, finding no one. She
quickly ran over to the front door and opened it. She looked into the hallways
to find them deserted. "No..." she cried. She rushed back inside with panic
and fear. Sakura ran over to the bedrooms and opened the door. She flipped on
the lights, waking everyone up. "Uhh...Sakura...?" David asked, still a bit
asleep. "What's wrong...?" Bryant asked, also a bit groggy. "Rouge...!
James...!" she sobbed, tears running down her face. "Sakura, what happened?!"
Julie asked worriedly. "They've disappeared!!!" she yelled.
Rouge and James landed in front of Tokyo Tower. They apprehensively walked
around the area, looking for any signs of the enemy. "No sign of them yet..."
James stated. "But I know they're here," Rouge replied. She looked at her
Dragoon Spirit, that was placed on the chest of her armor. It was glowing very
brightly. "We know you're here! Show yourself!!" James ordered, "There's no
use in hiding!!!" "How right you are, Golden-Eye Dragoon," the hooded man's
voice echoed throughout the sky. Both Rouge and James turned around and faced
the sky. The hooded man showed himself. "So, you're the one causing all of
this trouble?" James asked smugly and sarcastically. "You obviously haven't
been here long," Rouge smirked, "Tokyo Tower of all places. How obvious can you
get?" "Silence!! I will not be mocked by such children," the hooded man
shouted. Rouge and James stood prepared to fight. The hooded man regained his
composure and returned to his normal evil grin, "How interesting...You both came
alone." "We can handle you!" Rouge yelled. "Is this a feeble attempt to
protect the Divine Dragoon?" he asked, "You both are pathetic..." "I'll show
you pathetic!!" James yelled. "Let's see what you've got," the hooded man said.
The Golden-Eye Dragoon begins as he lifted his fist into the air. The ground
around him began to shake. The elemental power of the earth began to reform
into his large fist. "Golden Stream!!!" James yelled as he rammed his fist into
the ground. His elemental energy pulsated through the pavement and then upwards
at the hooded man. The hooded man removed his arm from the dark cloak and
placed it so that his palm was facing the oncoming attack. James attack simply
disappeared into nonexistence when it reached the hooded man's hand. James
gasped and was shocked to see his attack not even make a scratch. "No way!" he
shouted. "Let me try!" Rouge said as she stepped forward.
The Violet-Thunder Dragoon lifted her clenched fist into the air. Bolts of
purple lightning appeared and began to shoot onto her fist, giving her power.
"Atomic...!!!" she shouted out the spell as the lightning bolts began to create
a massive ball of lightning. "...Thunder!!!" Rouge finished as she threw the
ball from her fist towards her enemy, the hooded man. The hooded man simply
punched straight through the ball of magical energy and destroyed it like it was
glass. Rouge gritted her teeth in frustration. She knew he was even more
powerful than she had thought. "Ha ha ha!!!" the hooded man laughed, "You are
weak!"
Bryant, Julie, and David ran back into their dorm room. Sakura and Professor
Drake were standing in the living room, waiting for them to come back. "Any
sign of them?" Drake asked them. Julie shook her head disappointingly, "We
looked everywhere." "And no one in the building saw them even leave," David
added. "Then...that means..." Sakura began to say. She turned towards the
balcony screen door. A lightning struck down far away in the distance. "You
don't think they..." Bryant began worriedly. "They've left to fight him on
their own," Sakura finished. She sounded so sad. "What were they thinking?!"
Julie shouted. "They could get themselves hurt...or..." David added. "It seems
they wanted to protect something very dear to them," Drake pointed out as he
looked at Sakura. Sakura looked away sadly. "Then it looks like we have no
other choice," Bryant stated. "Right. We're going after them," Julie nodded.
"We also have something important to protect," David continued. Sakura gathered
her courage and smiled at her friends, "Everyone, let's go." They all nodded in
agreement.
Sea Wave Dragoon Power!
Julie's 'Sea Wave Dragoon Spirit' shined as water bursted out from it,
transitioning into the actual transformation sequence. The background was
colored in different shades of blue. Julie's body was now a silhouette of
color. Her silhouette had her arms up in the air and her legs fairly close
together, very femininely. The water, that had appeared from the spirit,
appeared as streams and wrapped around Julie's body like ribbon. When the
water disappeared, Julie was now in her normal form, her shining blue armor now
on. Her armor was a pale blue, her Dragoon wings matching. Julie was in her
braided hair style, but now what was holding her hair were seashells. Julie's
thin, dragon-like sword appeared in her hand. She spun around once and
finished in her stance.
Jade Dragoon Power!
Out of David's 'Jade Dragoon Spirit', wind bursted out like a hurricane. His
green silhouette appeared standing straight with his arms and legs spread out
apart. His eyes were also closed. The wind full of swirling green leaves
bustled around his silhouette. The leaves swirled around his chest, arms and
legs creating his shimmering Dragoon armor. Leaves passed by close up as his
normal figure appeared. His headband appeared on his forehead as did his
weapon. A lance with a sharp curved double blade made out of a special bark, as
in wood. Then, his jade dragon wings bursted out of his back. At the end of
the transformation, he stood in a stance with his weapon in hand facing the sky.
Red Eye Dragoon Power!
Bryant held the spirit close to his chest as he said the magic words. He then
spread out his arms as fire bursted out of the spirit, going into the
transformation. He is also a silhouette with different shades of red and orange
inside. The background moves upwards behind him. Bryant's arms spread out
open, as rings of fire appear. The rings of fire spun over different parts of
his arms, legs and over his head. The rings of fire moved down, up, and across
the specified body parts making his Red-Eye Dragoon armor appear. At the end of
the transformation, Bryant's wings burst out of his back and his large red sword
appears. He ends the transformation in a fighting stance.
White Silver Dragoon Power!
After she yelled out the magic words, beams of light bursted out from her
'Dragoon Spirit' and transitioned into the actual transformation. Sakura was
now a silhouette, only seeing her eyes and the outline of her nude body. The
background moved up constantly in light shades of pink, with white sparkling
stars. Inside the silhouette of Sakura, the colors were different. Different
colors of white and silver were lined up, moving around inside. White feathers
flew around in the sequence as Sakura slowly spun around. Her hazel eyes open
as the feather circled around her arms, which were held up into the sky. The
feathers created her gloves. The same then happened with her boots. The
feathers circled around and then the boots appeared. Sakura then stopped
spinning and looked on forward. Feathers passed by close up(like as if there
were a camera) and transitioned into her now out of the silhouette form, and her
main White Silver Dragoon armor appearing. Her dragon wings bursted out from
her back as her bow appeared. She gave one large spin and then stopped in a
stance.
The four Dragoon warriors stood together once again. "Okay, P.D. We're off,"
Sakura smiled. "Be careful and come back to me," he said, "All of you. I'll be
waiting for you." "Don't worry, P.D.," Sakura reassured him, "We will protect
this world...with our own hands."
The Golden-Eye Dragoon called upon the power of the earth. He raised his golden
arms into the air as large boulders broke off from the ground around him.
Golden elemental energy emitted from them all. "Meteor Strike!!" he shouted out
the name of the magic spell. The boulders hurled back down from the sky like a
meteor shower of sorts. Using his fists, the hooded man struck through each and
every one of the oncoming meteors.
"What?!" James gasped in amazement. Nothing he had thrown at the guy worked.
Rouge hurried over next to him, "What should we do? Nothing seems to be
working." James didn't know what to reply. He himself wasn't sure of what to
do. It almost seemed they were way in over their heads. "Maybe...magic attacks
aren't the answer," James stated. "What do you mean?" Rouge asked. "Rouge, use
your Thunder Child attack," James explained, "And as you distract him, I'll wait
for the right moment to strike." Rouge nodded, "All right."
"Thunder Child!!" Rouge yelled. She raised her arms pointing towards the sky
and spread out her legs. Shooting down from the sky, purple lightning bolts
wrapped around both of her fists and feet. She had orbs of electrical energy
around her fists and feet. Her fighting abilities were now increased. Rouge
spread out her wings and swiftly flew into the air. She first tried to punch
the hooded man twice at his face. He quickly moved his head from one side to
the other, dodging her blows. She then spun around and tried to kick him at his
head. The hooded man ducked, her leg missing him. She continued onward with
the punches and kicks. He would simply either dodge the attacks with
supernatural agility or block them with his arms. Rouge was trying to be as
fast and agile as she could in order to get a hit on the guy. It was no use,
however. He was too swift for her. Rouge attempted to punch him one last time.
This time, the hooded man grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back. She
grimaced in pain as he pulled it back. He had her captive. "Neither of you are
a match for me..." he whispered into her ear. Rouge struggled to break free
from his grip. James then floated up a few yards behind them both. This was as
good time as any to strike.
"Golden...!!" he began to yell. The hooded man, along with Rouge, teleported
away. "Huh...?!" James gasped. He looked around him to see where they had gone
too. "Where'd they go?" he asked himself. Stealthily, they reappeared behind
him. "James!!!" Rouge warned him. James quickly turned around, but it was too
late. The hooded man pointed his hand at James as a hundreds of dark lightning
bolts shot outward, hitting James in his chest. "Aaagghh!!!" he screamed as he
fell towards the pavement below. He rammed straight into the street, creating
an immense crater. The hooded man released Rouge and pushed her away.
"James!!!" she cried as she began to fly towards. The hooded man took this
opportunity to strike back at Rouge. He pointed his hand at Rouge's back and
fired another wave of dark energy. She was hit, unexpectedly, and was blown to
the other side of the street. Rouge weakly got up to her knees and held her arm
in pain. She was covered in soot and her armor scratched. "Ugh..." she sighed
in pain. She looked across from her and saw her lover unconscious on the
street. "J-James!!" she shouted. She gathered her strength and hurried as fast
as she could to him. When she arrived, she fell to her knees beside him. She
held his head in her hands. "James...!" she cried, "Wake up!!" His squinted as
he slowly began to reawaken. "R-Rouge...?" he asked softly. "Yes, yes. It's
me," she replied happily. "A-Are you all right...?" he asked her. He had a
warm smile on his face. "Don't you worry about me," she told him, "I'm fine."
"Thank God," he sighed.
The hooded man descended onto the floor in front of them. "What is it you
want?!" she yelled. "It is none of your concern," he told her, "You both will
be dead anyway. I shall end this happy moment of yours'." He pointed his hand
once more at them and fired another attack. Rouge and James held onto each
other as they were both hit and pushed even further down the street. The hooded
man attacked once again as they were hit and blown even further away. After one
more hit, their grips on each other loosened and they were separated. Each one
a few feet away from each other. They both tried to get back up, but could not
even lift themselves from the ground. Their bodies were injured and beat-up,
their armor scratched and dented. Rouge and James' wounded faces turned to one
another. "J-James..." Rouge sighed weakly. "R-Rouge..." he replied softly.
Out of the hooded man's cloak, he pulled out his Dragon Buster. "This is the
end for the both of you," he smirked. He then began to walk towards the injured
warriors. His footsteps seemed to echo. "Sakura..." Rouge and James thought to
themselves as the hooded man's shadow peered over them.
The four Dragoons were flying across the city. They were approaching the Tokyo
Tower area. "Are we almost there?" Julie asked. David had his computer up and
running, "Yes...We're very close." "I hope Rouge and James are all right,"
Bryant stated. And in that moment, Sakura received a vision as she stopped
flying. She could see the pitch black room and the two colored lights shining
brightly. Immediately after, they faded away into the darkness. "Sakura,
what's the matter?" David asked as he put his computer away. Sakura's eyes
began to tear up, "N-No..." "Sakura, what's wrong?!" Bryant asked worriedly.
Sakura spread out her wings and zoomed past them all. "Sakura!! Wait!!" Julie
shouted. "Something's wrong," David said. "We'd better follow her," Bryant
suggested. They spread out their wings and flew after her.
Sakura landed where James and Rouge had been fighting earlier. She looked
around and saw the craters in the streets and the destruction caused in the
battle. Soon thereafter, her friends landed behind her. "Whoa...they were
definitely here," Julie gasped. "But, where are they now?" David asked. The
hooded man's laughed echoed throughout the area. "Look!" Bryant pointed
upwards. The hooded man floated above them. "It is nice of you to join us,
Divine Dragoon," he grinned, "You'll at least be able to say goodbye to your
friends." "What?" Sakura asked. She looked over to the side and saw Rouge and
James' lifeless bodies beginning to fade away.
The tears streamed down her face, "No!!!" She ran over to them. "Rouge!!!
James!!!" she screamed. She knelt down beside them both. Their armor had
already disappeared. Their Dragoon Spirits lied next to them both. "S-
Sakura...?" Rouge asked. "Yes, it's me!" Sakura replied. "It's...so nice to be
able to see you again..." James said, "One...last time..." "What?!" Sakura
sobbed, "Don't say that!! You'll be fine!! You both...will be fine..." The
other Dragoons hurried over to them. "What were you two thinking?!" Bryant
yelled, "Going off by yourself!!" "We wanted...to protect all of you...to
protect...her..." James explained. "Even if you fade away!!!" Julie sobbed.
"We wanted you all...to live happily...We didn't want...you to fight anymore,"
Rouge added. "Rouge...James..." David cried. "Your duty...is to protect
her...in our place..." James told them. "Why...? Why...?" Sakura continued to
cry, "You don't have to protect me..." James smirked, "Our strongest
warrior...is such a crybaby..." Rouge smiled along with him, "She is..." The
two Dragoon Spirits floated up into Sakura's hands. She hugged them both and
began to sob, and sob, and sob. David held Julie close to him as they both wept
together. Bryant tried his best to stay strong, but the tears just wouldn't
desist. Sakura stood up and rushed into Bryant's arms. He held her ever so
tightly as she cried on his chest.
"James..." Rouge whispered. She began to inch towards him. "Yeah, Rouge?" he
asked. "I-I'm...I'm scared..." she told him. "Hmm...don't be..." he said, "You
don't ever have to be scared...as long as we're together..." "James...I want
to...touch you...one last time..." Rouge cried. They both began to inch towards
each other. Little by little, they used the last of their strength so that
they're hands could meet. Their fingers interlocked with one another. Rouge
smiled once she could feel James' hand. "James...I...I...I love you...." she
spoke her last words. She closed her eyes as her body began to fade away. "I
love you too...Rouge..." he replied his last breath. Both together, they faded
away into sparkling stars. The sparkling stars then flew up towards the sky and
towards the heavens above.
Generation
The skies were covered in dark gray clouds with bolts of dark lightning
hurling down towards the city. What was even more shocking was that the hooded
man and his associates were floating above their balcony in the sky. The three
of them with evil grins on their faces laughed maliciously. "You...!" Sakura
yelled. "The time for war has begun," the hooded man spoke, "You'll see my true
power." "And you'll se ours'!" David replied to him. The hooded man laughed at
his response, "You think you all are so strong, don't you? Wait until you face
my true strength. You all will face reality first hand." The group gritted
their teeth in frustration and disgust. "Tomorrow, we shall face one

James stated. "But I know they're here," Rouge replied. She looked at her
Dragoon Spirit, that was placed on the chest of her armor. It was glowing very
brightly. "We know you're here! Show yourself!!" James ordered, "There's no
use in hiding!!!" "How right you are, Golden-Eye Dragoon," the hooded man's
voice echoed throughout the sky. Both Rouge and James turned around and faced
the sky. The hooded man showed himself. "So, you're the one causing all of
this trouble?" James asked smugly and sarcastically. "You obviously haven't
been here long," Rouge smirked, "Tokyo Tower of all places. How obvious can you
get?" "Silence!! I will not be mocked by such children," the hooded man
shouted. Rouge and James stood prepared to fight. The hooded man regained his
composure and returned to his normal evil grin, "How interesting...You both came
alone." "We can handle you!" Rouge yelled. "Is this a feeble attempt to
protect the Divine Dragoon?" he asked, "You both are pathetic..." "I'll show
you pathetic!!" James yelled. "Let's see what you've got," the hooded man said.
The Golden-Eye Dragoon begins as he lifted his fist into the air. The ground
around him began to shake. The elemental power of the earth began to reform
into his large fist. "Golden Stream!!!" James yelled as he rammed his fist into
the ground. His elemental energy pulsated through the pavement and then upwards
at the hooded man. The hooded man removed his arm from the dark cloak and
placed it so that his palm was facing the oncoming attack. James attack simply
disappeared into nonexistence when it reached the hooded man's hand. James
gasped and was shocked to see his attack not even make a scratch. "No way!" he
shouted. "Let me try!" Rouge said as she stepped forward.
The Violet-Thunder Dragoon lifted her clenched fist into the air. Bolts of
purple lightning appeared and began to shoot onto her fist, giving her power.
"Atomic...!!!" she shouted out the spell as the lightning bolts began to create
a massive ball of lightning. "...Thunder!!!" Rouge finished as she threw the
ball from her fist towards her enemy, the hooded man. The hooded man simply
punched straight through the ball of magical energy and destroyed it like it was
glass. Rouge gritted her teeth in frustration. She knew he was even more
powerful than she had thought. "Ha ha ha!!!" the hooded man laughed, "You are
weak!"
Bryant, Julie, and David ran back into their dorm room. Sakura and Professor
Drake were standing in the living room, waiting for them to come back. "Any
sign of them?" Drake asked them. Julie shook her head disappointingly, "We
looked everywhere." "And no one in the building saw them even leave," David
added. "Then...that means..." Sakura began to say. She turned towards the
balcony screen door. A lightning struck down far away in the distance. "You
don't think they..." Bryant began worriedly. "They've left to fight him on
their own," Sakura finished. She sounded so sad. "What were they thinking?!"
Julie shouted. "They could get themselves hurt...or..." David added. "It seems
they wanted to protect something very dear to them," Drake pointed out as he
looked at Sakura. Sakura looked away sadly. "Then it looks like we have no
other choice," Bryant stated. "Right. We're going after them," Julie nodded.
"We also have something important to protect," David continued. Sakura gathered
her courage and smiled at her friends, "Everyone, let's go." They all nodded in
agreement.
Sea Wave Dragoon Power!
Julie's 'Sea Wave Dragoon Spirit' shined as water bursted out from it,
transitioning into the actual transformation sequence. The background was
colored in different shades of blue. Julie's body was now a silhouette of
color. Her silhouette had her arms up in the air and her legs fairly close
together, very femininely. The water, that had appeared from the spirit,
appeared as streams and wrapped around Julie's body like ribbon. When the
water disappeared, Julie was now in her normal form, her shining blue armor now
on. Her armor was a pale blue, her Dragoon wings matching. Julie was in her
braided hair style, but now what was holding her hair were seashells. Julie's
thin, dragon-like sword appeared in her hand. She spun around once and
finished in her stance.
Jade Dragoon Power!
Out of David's 'Jade Dragoon Spirit', wind bursted out like a hurricane. His
green silhouette appeared standing straight with his arms and legs spread out
apart. His eyes were also closed. The wind full of swirling green leaves
bustled around his silhouette. The leaves swirled around his chest, arms and
legs creating his shimmering Dragoon armor. Leaves passed by close up as his
normal figure appeared. His headband appeared on his forehead as did his
weapon. A lance with a sharp curved double blade made out of a special bark, as
in wood. Then, his jade dragon wings bursted out of his back. At the end of
the transformation, he stood in a stance with his weapon in hand facing the sky.
Red Eye Dragoon Power!
Bryant held the spirit close to his chest as he said the magic words. He then
spread out his arms as fire bursted out of the spirit, going into the
transformation. He is also a silhouette with different shades of red and orange
inside. The background moves upwards behind him. Bryant's arms spread out
open, as rings of fire appear. The rings of fire spun over different parts of
his arms, legs and over his head. The rings of fire moved down, up, and across
the specified body parts making his Red-Eye Dragoon armor appear. At the end of
the transformation, Bryant's wings burst out of his back and his large red sword
appears. He ends the transformation in a fighting stance.
White Silver Dragoon Power!
After she yelled out the magic words, beams of light bursted out from her
'Dragoon Spirit' and transitioned into the actual transformation. Sakura was
now a silhouette, only seeing her eyes and the outline of her nude body. The
background moved up constantly in light shades of pink, with white sparkling
stars. Inside the silhouette of Sakura, the colors were different. Different
colors of white and silver were lined up, moving around inside. White feathers
flew around in the sequence as Sakura slowly spun around. Her hazel eyes open
as the feather circled around her arms, which were held up into the sky. The
feathers created her gloves. The same then happened with her boots. The
feathers circled around and then the boots appeared. Sakura then stopped
spinning and looked on forward. Feathers passed by close up(like as if there
were a camera) and transitioned into her now out of the silhouette form, and her
main White Silver Dragoon armor appearing. Her dragon wings bursted out from
her back as her bow appeared. She gave one large spin and then stopped in a
stance.
The four Dragoon warriors stood together once again. "Okay, P.D. We're off,"
Sakura smiled. "Be careful and come back to me," he said, "All of you. I'll be
waiting for you." "Don't worry, P.D.," Sakura reassured him, "We will protect
this world...with our own hands."
The Golden-Eye Dragoon called upon the power of the earth. He raised his golden
arms into the air as large boulders broke off from the ground around him.
Golden elemental energy emitted from them all. "Meteor Strike!!" he shouted out
the name of the magic spell. The boulders hurled back down from the sky like a
meteor shower of sorts. Using his fists, the hooded man struck through each and
every one of the oncoming meteors.
"What?!" James gasped in amazement. Nothing he had thrown at the guy worked.
Rouge hurried over next to him, "What should we do? Nothing seems to be
working." James didn't know what to reply. He himself wasn't sure of what to
do. It almost seemed they were way in over their heads. "Maybe...magic attacks
aren't the answer," James stated. "What do you mean?" Rouge asked. "Rouge, use
your Thunder Child attack," James explained, "And as you distract him, I'll wait
for the right moment to strike." Rouge nodded, "All right."
"Thunder Child!!" Rouge yelled. She raised her arms pointing towards the sky
and spread out her legs. Shooting down from the sky, purple lightning bolts
wrapped around both of her fists and feet. She had orbs of electrical energy
around her fists and feet. Her fighting abilities were now increased. Rouge
spread out her wings and swiftly flew into the air. She first tried to punch
the hooded man twice at his face. He quickly moved his head from one side to
the other, dodging her blows. She then spun around and tried to kick him at his
head. The hooded man ducked, her leg missing him. She continued onward with
the punches and kicks. He would simply either dodge the attacks with
supernatural agility or block them with his arms. Rouge was trying to be as
fast and agile as she could in order to get a hit on the guy. It was no use,
however. He was too swift for her. Rouge attempted to punch him one last time.
This time, the hooded man grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back. She
grimaced in pain as he pulled it back. He had her captive. "Neither of you are
a match for me..." he whispered into her ear. Rouge struggled to break free
from his grip. James then floated up a few yards behind them both. This was as
good time as any to strike.
"Golden...!!" he began to yell. The hooded man, along with Rouge, teleported
away. "Huh...?!" James gasped. He looked around him to see where they had gone
too. "Where'd they go?" he asked himself. Stealthily, they reappeared behind
him. "James!!!" Rouge warned him. James quickly turned around, but it was too
late. The hooded man pointed his hand at James as a hundreds of dark lightning
bolts shot outward, hitting James in his chest. "Aaagghh!!!" he screamed as he
fell towards the pavement below. He rammed straight into the street, creating
an immense crater. The hooded man released Rouge and pushed her away.
"James!!!" she cried as she began to fly towards. The hooded man took this
opportunity to strike back at Rouge. He pointed his hand at Rouge's back and
fired another wave of dark energy. She was hit, unexpectedly, and was blown to
the other side of the street. Rouge weakly got up to her knees and held her arm
in pain. She was covered in soot and her armor scratched. "Ugh..." she sighed
in pain. She looked across from her and saw her lover unconscious on the
street. "J-James!!" she shouted. She gathered her strength and hurried as fast
as she could to him. When she arrived, she fell to her knees beside him. She
held his head in her hands. "James...!" she cried, "Wake up!!" His squinted as
he slowly began to reawaken. "R-Rouge...?" he asked softly. "Yes, yes. It's
me," she replied happily. "A-Are you all right...?" he asked her. He had a
warm smile on his face. "Don't you worry about me," she told him, "I'm fine."
"Thank God," he sighed.
The hooded man descended onto the floor in front of them. "What is it you
want?!" she yelled. "It is none of your concern," he told her, "You both will
be dead anyway. I shall end this happy moment of yours'." He pointed his hand
once more at them and fired another attack. Rouge and James held onto each
other as they were both hit and pushed even further down the street. The hooded
man attacked once again as they were hit and blown even further away. After one
more hit, their grips on each other loosened and they were separated. Each one
a few feet away from each other. They both tried to get back up, but could not
even lift themselves from the ground. Their bodies were injured and beat-up,
their armor scratched and dented. Rouge and James' wounded faces turned to one
another. "J-James..." Rouge sighed weakly. "R-Rouge..." he replied softly.
Out of the hooded man's cloak, he pulled out his Dragon Buster. "This is the
end for the both of you," he smirked. He then began to walk towards the injured
warriors. His footsteps seemed to echo. "Sakura..." Rouge and James thought to
themselves as the hooded man's shadow peered over them.
The four Dragoons were flying across the city. They were approaching the Tokyo
Tower area. "Are we almost there?" Julie asked. David had his computer up and
running, "Yes...We're very close." "I hope Rouge and James are all right,"
Bryant stated. And in that moment, Sakura received a vision as she stopped
flying. She could see the pitch black room and the two colored lights shining
brightly. Immediately after, they faded away into the darkness. "Sakura,
what's the matter?" David asked as he put his computer away. Sakura's eyes
began to tear up, "N-No..." "Sakura, what's wrong?!" Bryant asked worriedly.
Sakura spread out her wings and zoomed past them all. "Sakura!! Wait!!" Julie
shouted. "Something's wrong," David said. "We'd better follow her," Bryant
suggested. They spread out their wings and flew after her.
Sakura landed where James and Rouge had been fighting earlier. She looked
around and saw the craters in the streets and the destruction caused in the
battle. Soon thereafter, her friends landed behind her. "Whoa...they were
definitely here," Julie gasped. "But, where are they now?" David asked. The
hooded man's laughed echoed throughout the area. "Look!" Bryant pointed
upwards. The hooded man floated above them. "It is nice of you to join us,
Divine Dragoon," he grinned, "You'll at least be able to say goodbye to your
friends." "What?" Sakura asked. She looked over to the side and saw Rouge and
James' lifeless bodies beginning to fade away.
The tears streamed down her face, "No!!!" She ran over to them. "Rouge!!!
James!!!" she screamed. She knelt down beside them both. Their armor had
already disappeared. Their Dragoon Spirits lied next to them both. "S-
Sakura...?" Rouge asked. "Yes, it's me!" Sakura replied. "It's...so nice to be
able to see you again..." James said, "One...last time..." "What?!" Sakura
sobbed, "Don't say that!! You'll be fine!! You both...will be fine..." The
other Dragoons hurried over to them. "What were you two thinking?!" Bryant
yelled, "Going off by yourself!!" "We wanted...to protect all of you...to
protect...her..." James explained. "Even if you fade away!!!" Julie sobbed.
"We wanted you all...to live happily...We didn't want...you to fight anymore,"
Rouge added. "Rouge...James..." David cried. "Your duty...is to protect
her...in our place..." James told them. "Why...? Why...?" Sakura continued to
cry, "You don't have to protect me..." James smirked, "Our strongest
warrior...is such a crybaby..." Rouge smiled along with him, "She is..." The
two Dragoon Spirits floated up into Sakura's hands. She hugged them both and
began to sob, and sob, and sob. David held Julie close to him as they both wept
together. Bryant tried his best to stay strong, but the tears just wouldn't
desist. Sakura stood up and rushed into Bryant's arms. He held her ever so
tightly as she cried on his chest.
"James..." Rouge whispered. She began to inch towards him. "Yeah, Rouge?" he
asked. "I-I'm...I'm scared..." she told him. "Hmm...don't be..." he said, "You
don't ever have to be scared...as long as we're together..." "James...I want
to...touch you...one last time..." Rouge cried. They both began to inch towards
each other. Little by little, they used the last of their strength so that
they're hands could meet. Their fingers interlocked with one another. Rouge
smiled once she could feel James' hand. "James...I...I...I love you...." she
spoke her last words. She closed her eyes as her body began to fade away. "I
love you too...Rouge..." he replied his last breath. Both together, they faded
away into sparkling stars. The sparkling stars then flew up towards the sky and
towards the heavens above.
