The six warriors were asleep or unconscious upon the grass in this neighborhood park. 

Anthony stood over them in shock and bewilderment.  He had no idea what to make of any of this.  These six people just fell out of the sky.  He wanted to get a closer look, for his curiosity couldn't help it.

He slowly walked over to the fallen warriors.  "Who are these people…?" he asked himself, "Wait.  Not all of them are people…"

He noticed the size and build of the Giganto Kongol and the shimmering blue hair and soft silky skin of the Wingly Meru.

"Are they from outer space or something?" he continued to ask.

"Ugh…" Meru began to groan.  It seems she was awakening.

Anthony gasped, "Ah!"

"Wow…what a ride…" she said as she got up into a sitting position.  She rubbed her head and then her eyes.  She then noticed the young boy that stood above her.  "Ahh!!!" she screamed.

"Ahh!!!" Anthony joined in with her.

Meru leaped onto her feet, "Where am I?!"

"Y-You're here, in Orlando, Florida…" Anthony told her.

"Orlando, Florida?  What's that?  Sounds like food where I'm from," Meru replied.

"Where are you from?" Anthony asked.

"Well…I'm from a secret place on the world of Endiness," she answered.

"Endiness?" Anthony wondered.  He had never heard of something called that before.

"Enough about that," Meru said as she put out her hand, "My name's Meru!"

Anthony looked at her and saw her vibrant and cheerful smile.  "She doesn't seem so bad," he thought to himself.  He put out his hand as they greeted one another.  "I'm Anthony," he said.

At that same moment, everyone else began to come to. 

"Oh!  Now you can meet my friends!" Meru told him.  She ran over to her friends.  "Wake up!  Wake up already!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.

"MERU TOO LOUD," Kongol spoke as he got up.

"What is with all the fuss Meru?" Haschel asked, getting up onto his feet.

Albert was already on his feet and looking around the new world he was in.  Houses of all different kinds were everywhere and he could hear the sounds of the cars passing by in the streets.  "Where are we?" he asked.

Dart was a gentleman and helped Rose onto her feet.  "This is definitely not Endiness," he stated.

"We traveled all across Endiness in our journey and never saw a place like this," Rose added.

"Then…do you think we crossed dimensions or realities or whatever?!!" Meru asked her excitedly.

"It could possibly be that," Rose replied.

"A hand of fate…" Haschel sighed.

"Oh! I want you guys to meet my new friend!" Meru shouted emphatically.  She rushed over to Anthony's side to introduce him.  "Everyone!  This is Anthony!" she said.

"Hello, everyone," Anthony smiled.

"And these are my friends," Meru pointed, "You see this big guy over there?  That's Kongol.  And the old man is Haschel.  The really royal one is Albert.  The one that acts mysterious all the time over there, that's Rose.  And this is Dart."

"It's nice to meet you all," Anthony said to them.

"You are from this world?" Albert asked him.

"Y-Yes," he answered.  Anthony looked at these group of people and felt an instant connection.  It was like he had seen them somewhere before.

"Well, of course he is!  Look at his clothes!!" Meru pointed out.

"MERU," Kongol scolded her.

"What?!" she asked.

"What's wrong with my clothes?" Anthony asked, "See, in this world, what you're wearing Meru would be considered to be…"

Rose interrupted his sentence when she saw something in Anthony, "No way!"

"Huh? What is it Rose?" Dart asked, "Is something wrong?"

"In his pocket…" she said.

"My pocket?" Anthony wondered.  He reached in to pull out something.  "Oh, you mean this?" he asked.

He held a white and holy colored stone that began to shine brilliant rays of light.  "Whoa!  This never happened before!!" he shouted.

"It cannot be!!" Albert gasped.

"IS THAT…?" Kongol began.

"Is it possible?!" Meru wondered.

"The White Silver Dragoon Spirit!!" Dart shouted happily.

The stone stopped its shining light.

"Wow, what was that?" Anthony asked.

"What you hold in your hand is a powerful stone that can give a chosen one the power to transform into a [Dragon Warrior], but more commonly known as the [Dragoon]." Rose explained.

"Wait a second…Dragoon…?" Anthony thought to himself.  The word seemed so familiar in his mind.  Instantly, he remembered where he had seen these people.  Flashes of the dream he had had this morning rushed through his mind one by one.  "That's it!" he exclaimed.

"What is it?" Haschel asked.

"I know where I've seen you all before!" Anthony shouted, "This morning, I had a dream about all of you!  You all were in this magical winged armor soaring away from a moon or something that was exploding behind you.  It was in some other world!!"

"You dreamt this?" Dart asked.

"This is no coincidence," Rose stated, "There is a reason why we all have met and why we are here."

"Where did you find that [Dragoon Spirit] Anthony?" Meru asked him.

"I found it in the grass on my way home from school a couple of days ago," Anthony replied, "I just thought it was a pretty stone."

"If that stone is here…" Albert began to say.

"LLOYD," Kongol said bluntly.

"He must be here," Rose agreed.

"What is this? What is going on?" Anthony asked, "I'm so confused and I don't understand anything that's going on."

"He's right.  We should explain everything to him," Dart said.

"Is there somewhere we can go and talk?" Rose asked him.

Anthony thought about it for a moment.  He needed a place where no one went and where his new friends could not be seen.  "Oh!  I know!" he shouted.

They had all returned towards his neighborhood and to the park behind his home.  There was a large conservation area surrounding the park.  A rugged path through the bushes where the trees had been made.  It led to what you used to be a sewage area.  But now, it was simply a desolated, abandoned area with a small stream in a ditch.

"In our world of Endiness, there was legendary war 11,000 years in the past.  [The Dragon Campaign]," Rose began to tell the tale.

Anthony sat upon the grass along with the other warriors.

"Creatures known as Winglies attempted to control the entire world and rule over all species.  It seemed it would be possible.  However, a miracle occurred.  Seven Dragons created seven [Dragoon Spirits] in order to fight against the Winglies.  Seven warriors were chosen to bear these magical stones and defend the world," Rose continued, "And they did.  They destroyed the leader of the Winglies, [Melbu Frahma], and saved the world."

"That's amazing…" Anthony sighed in astonishment, "But, Rose…how do you know so much about this?"

Rose hesitated for a moment, "…I was one of those seven warriors."

Anthony gasped.

"Using this choker…" she said as she pointed to it, "I've been able to live an immortal life throughout these 11,000 years.  For there was another legend that I would have to continually stop from occurring."

"Another legend?" Anthony asked.

"Yeah, the legend about [The Moon That Never Sets] and the [Moon Child]," Meru told him.

"When the Winglies were defeated, they left three Divine Moon Objects.  [The Moon Gem, The Moon Dagger, and The Moon Mirror]," Rose stated, "They held great magical power.  Their purpose was to help give birth to the God of DestructionThe Virage Embryo.  This being's purpose was to destroy the world.  However, you need the [Moon Child] to merge with the embryo in order to create it."

"Who would want to do such a thing?" Anthony asked.

"EVIL WINGLY," Kongol said.

"Yes, Lloyd," Albert added.

"Lloyd…?  You all mentioned him in my dream," Anthony said.

"He had set out to destroy the world and give birth to one he could control," Dart explained.

"He acquired the three Divine Moon Objects.  That was half of the plan.  The next half was to acquire the [Moon Child]," Rose continued on.

"[Moon Child]?" Anthony wondered.

"The [Moon Child] is a being that, at birth, was given the power and the capability of merging with the embryo.  Thus, was God's hand of fate," Rose answered.

"Do you all know who the [Moon Child] is in your world?" Anthony inquired.

Everyone was silent.  Their faces saddened.  The mood had completely changed.

Meru bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears.

Everyone else looked away.  They couldn't bare to speak of this person.

Rose looked to Dart who's face could tell a thousand words of pain and loneliness.  "I believe…Dart should explain this…" Rose suggested.

Anthony was perplexed and confused.  But, he could almost put two and two together to realize why everyone was so sad.

"The[Moon Child] in our world was…the girl who held that White Silver Dragoon Spirit you possess," Dart explained, "Her name…was Shana.  She and I were very close."

"I don't get it.  Why are you talking in the past tense?" Anthony asked.

Dart fought back the tears, "She is…She is…dead."

"Eh?!" Anthony gasped.

Meru couldn't hold back the tears any longer.  She buried her face into Kongol's chest as she wept.

Even Rose wiped a tears from her eye.

"I didn't want her to merge with the embryo and become the God of Destruction.  We all told her we'd fight for her until the bitter end…" Dart said, "She didn't want us to have die for her so…she stepped in front of Lloyd's blade…"

"Oh no…" Anthony sighed sadly.

Dart could only remember that final moment when Shana's life was taken away…

Lloyd's blade struck straight into the White Silver Dragoon's chest.

"Shana!!!!!!" Dart screamed with so much pain.

Lloyd pulled out his blade as Shana fell to the floor, lifeless.

"Damn you…!" Lloyd yelled, "In order to save your friends!!  You've ruined everything!"

"Shana!!!" Dart screamed once more.  He ran over to her and held her in his arms. "Shana…Why?!  Why did you do that?!" he cried.

Shana gently opened her eyes, "Dart…I couldn't have…you all dying for me…"

"I already told you it was worth it, for you!" Dart shouted.

"But…this way…everyone will be safe and live happily together…" Shana replied.  At that moment, her Dragoon armor vanished and the White Silver Dragoon Spirit floated into the air.

Shana was beginning to vanish.

"Shana!!  No!!" Dart sobbed.  Tears streamed down the side of his cheek.  "How can I live happily without you beside me?!" he cried.

"Shana…" Meru sobbed along with the rest of her friends.  They all could only watch.  They couldn't breathe a word.

"You can…Dart…Fight until the end.  Not for me…but for our world," Shana told him, "I will a-always be with you…"

Her body vanished even more.

She placed the palm of her hand on his cheek as tears fell down her face.  "I am so glad…that you and I found each other…Dart…"

"So am I…Shana," Dart continued to cry.

"I would rather die now…than live a thousand years without having met you," Shana said, "Without having ever kissed your lips…I love you Dart…"

"I love you Shana!  I will always love you!!" Dart shouted.

They both began to lean into one another, their lips waiting to meet.  Right before they did, Shana's body completely disappeared in the form of shining white lights that flew into the sky.

Dart couldn't believe it. "SHANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted with all the passion and fury in his body.

"That's how Lloyd was able to obtain the White Silver Dragoon Spirit," Rose spoke, "He then figured out that as long as he had that with him, something the [Moon Child] possessed, he could then become one with the embryo."

"That's when we came in," Haschel added, "We gathered our strength and headed towards [The Moon That Never Sets] and destroyed it at the core."

"That's what you saw in your dream," Albert stated.

"And that's why the God of Destruction could never be born in our world," Meru finished.

"So, this Lloyd traveled to the alternate reality of your world in order to attempt to give birth to the God of Destruction once again?" Anthony asked.

"Using the[Moon Child] of this world to do so," Rose answered, "However, it seems he lost the White Silver Dragoon Spirit on his way through dimensions and it came to you."

"But I just found it on the floor," Anthony said.

"No.  The Spirit chose you.  You are now the White Silver Dragoon. It was fate," Rose told him.

"This is all so surreal," Anthony said.

"It is even more real than you imagine," Albert spoke.

"ANTHONY IN DANGER," Kongol said.

"What?" Anthony gasped.

"You are the new holder of the White Silver Dragoon Spirit now.  Lloyd is in this world somewhere.  He will come after you once he finds you," Meru said.

"That's why we're here.  To protect you," Haschel comforted him.

"We will find the [Moon Child] and put a stop to this before it can even get started," Dart added.

Anthony smiled, "Thank you."

Night had arrived over the entire city and over Anthony's neighborhood.  Lights could be seen from outside the windows of all of the houses.  Families together in their homes.

The front window of Anthony's home silently slid open.  A sheet that carried something within it was thrown out first.  Anthony followed.  He grabbed the sheet and ran off into the neighborhood, towards the park.

The six Dragoons stood and sat around the area where they had been talking before, in the park. 

"That Anthony is a nice young man, isn't he?" Haschel spoke.

"Yes, he is.  Not tough, not serious.  Very humble," Albert agreed.

"I really like him!" Meru smiled cheerfully, "He seems like a lot of fun!"

"KONGOL THINK SO TOO," Kongol nodded.

"I can't help but think…Shana had something to do with him being chosen as the White Silver Dragoon," Dart smiled to himself.

"I think so as well," Rose agreed, "But, there is something that I have been thinking about since we found out he holds the White Silver Dragoon Spirit."

"What's that?" Dart wondered.

"I wonder if situations and occurrences that happened in our world apply to this world as well.  Almost as if history repeated itself.  The fact that he was chosen to possess the Dragoon Spirit of the White Silver Dragon just as Shana was…Could it be that they have more than just that in common?" Rose explained her feelings.

"You think he could be the…?" Dart began to ask.

Anthony interrupted when he leaped through the bushes.  "I've got food!!" he shouted.

"Great!  Let's eat!" Meru leaped with excitement, "I'm starving!"

Anthony laid out the sheet on the grass, revealing all kinds of food.

"Looks delicious," Haschel licked his lips.

"I hope it's enough," Anthony said.

"PLENTY," Kongol told him.

"Bone appetite everyone," Albert said.

They all sat and gathered around the food to eat their dinner.

"Anthony?" Dart began.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"Where does that road lead to?" Dart asked him.  He pointed across a field and over to a busy street filled with cars coming and going.

"Oh?  That street?  It leads to the mall," Anthony answered.

"Mall?" Meru asked with food stuffed in her mouth.

"Oh…uh…What you would call a marketplace, I guess," Anthony explained to her.

"A marketplace?!" Meru exclaimed, jumping into the air.  She then began to choke on the food she had stuffed in her mouth.  She gasped for air.

"I imagine the marketplaces in this world are absolutely marvelous," Albert said.

"Do you think we could see it?" Haschel asked.

"Well…I suppose we could stop by for a little while…" Anthony replied, "My parents think I'm asleep anyway so…why not?"

Meru began to run around all of her friends while trying to ask for help.  Nobody was paying any attention to her though.

"Rose, do you think it would be okay?" Dart asked.

Rose looked at everyone.  She thought for a minute and then smiled, "Sure."

Meru continued to run around until she reached Kongol.  She stopped in front of him, praying to God he would help her.

With a serious look on his face, he simply patted her once with his huge palm on the back.

The food went down nicely as she swallowed.  She sighed in relief.

All of her friends, including Anthony, giggled and laughed.

They all arrived at the large and massive Florida Mall.  As soon as they stepped through the double doors, people in the mall stopped and stared at the strange looking individuals behind Anthony.

They started their night of fun, walking throughout the paths laughing and smiling.  Kongol was surrounded by people, however.  They couldn't get over how huge he was.  He was almost as tall as a house.

They soon arrived to the arcade.  Anthony pointed to it and told everyone to come in with him.

Anthony played a fighting game, while everyone but Haschel watched.  They all turned around suddenly when a yell was heard from behind them

Haschel was behind them playing another fighting game.  It read "Game Over" on the screen, indicating he lost.  He had a huge fit about losing in front of everyone.

The people inside the arcade stared, while sweat drops fell on Haschel's friend's heads in embarrassment.

Next, they arrived in a formal dress wear store.  Meru insisted that they all go in.

First, Meru leaped out of the dressing room dressed in a long, shiny blue prom-like dress.  She twirled around, showing it off.

Anthony and Haschel sat down on a bench and applauded.

Right after, Albert came out of the men's dressing room in a tuxedo.  He looked very handsome.

Anthony and Haschel applauded for him as well.

Rose was the next to come out.  She was dressed in a long, slender black dress that accented many of her features.  She looked radiant, but felt a little insecure.

Anthony and Haschel applauded her in support. 

Finally, Dart was the last to come out dressed up.  He was also dressed in a tuxedo with a red sash wrapped around his waist and stomach. 

Everyone else was already outside and clapped for him.  He did look very handsome.

He didn't seem to happy though.  He gazed off into the distance and saw a beautiful white gown.  He could see his true love, Shana, dressed in it with a smile.

Anthony saw his pain and walked over to him.  He put his hand on Dart's shoulder in comfort, with a gentle smile.

Dart smiled back in thanks.

Kongol stepped out of the dressing room, surprisingly enough.  He made loud thumping noises that made the whole store tremble.  When he came out, he was also dressed in a tuxedo.  However, it was a few sizes too small for his gigantic Giganto size.  His arms and legs ripped straight through the sleeves and his chest broke straight through the shirt.

His friends could only stare at him in disbelief.

Kongol shrugged in embarrassment.

"This has been so much fun!" Meru leaped for joy, "Your marketplaces are absolutely wonderful!"

"Yes, it was a very entertaining night," Albert added.

"Thank you for taking us," Haschel told Anthony.

"It was nice taking a night off from all of this chaos," Dart said.

"I'm glad you all had fun," Anthony smiled, "I did too.  I haven't had fun like this in a long time."

"WHAT ANTHONY DO FOR FUN?" Kongol asked.

"Well…" Anthony thought about it, "I used to write and draw a lot!!  I never thought I was that good at it though."

"Why are you speaking in the past tense?" Albert wondered.

"Because…I've realized…" Anthony began to say as he turned to them and gave a sad smile, "There's no place for me there…It just wasn't important to anyone."

Rose saw the sad look on his face and wanted to change the subject.  she looked across the path and noticed something interesting, "Oh? What is this?"

Anthony snapped out of his mood, "Oh!  That's a crane game."

There was a red crane game machine connected to the wall, filled with stuffed animals.

"Crane…game?" Rose asked.

"Yeah.  Watch," Anthony told her.  He reached into his pocket and pulled out some change.  He slipped them into the slot and took the joystick to move the crane.  He moved it forward and noticed a nice brown teddy bear.  He went for it.  He started to sweat nervously and anxiously.

"Does he have it?" Meru whispered.

"You've almost got it…" Haschel said.

Everything was silent for that one moment.

The crane grabbed the bear and began to pull up slowly.

"Come on, come on…" Anthony told himself.

When it seemed he had the bear, it slipped out of the crane hand's fingers.

"No!" Anthony pouted, "Ah, man!  I really wanted that bear!"

"May I try?" Rose asked him.

"Sure.  Go ahead," Anthony nodded.  He handed her some more change.

She slipped it into the slot and began to play.  Again, everything returned to silence for that short period of time she played the game.  She moved the crane over to where the brown teddy bear was.  She moved the hand of the crane down towards and opened the fingers, then grabbing the stuffed bear.  She ever so slowly pulled up when suddenly…She got it!

"YES!!!!!" Rose shouted happily, "I've done it!"

Her voice echoed throughout the entire mall, as all the visitors stopped to see who was yelling.

Sweat drops fell on all of her friend's heads.

"Heheh…Good job, Rose…Heheh…" Anthony giggled embarrassedly.

Rose coughed, trying to regain her composure, "Ahem…We all have our moments."  She reached into the hole where the teddy bear was and handed it to Anthony.

"For me?" he asked.

"So you don't forget us," she told him with a shy smile.

"Thank you!" Anthony replied cheerfully.

Dart smiled along with everyone else.

"Anthony…I know you'll find what you're looking for…" Rose thought to herself.  A chill then ran up her spine; a strange sensation.

"ROSE, SOMETHING WRONG?" Kongol asked.

"He's nearby," Rose stated with a worried look on his face.

"He?" Anthony wondered.

"You mean Lloyd?!" Albert gasped, "He's here?!"

"He's somewhere in the vicinity," Rose told him.

Anthony began to feel it too.  "Yeah…Something…evil is here," Anthony stated.

"You mean…you feel that too?" Rose asked.

"This feeling in my heart…In my soul…" Anthony described.

"It cannot be…Is he…?" she thought.

"Anthony, you're in danger!" Meru shouted.

The six warriors surrounded him.

"If he's here, he's here for you and the Dragoon Spirit," Haschel stated.

Lloyd stood upon the sunroof above Anthony and the six Dragoons.  He didn't notice them, however.  He looked around at all of the people walking by, trying to discern the presence of the White Silver Dragoon Spirit.

"It's here…somewhere…" he said, "One of these humans has it in their grasps."  That's when he noticed Dart and the rest of his friends down below.  "No!  It cannot be!  What are they doing here?!" Lloyd shouted, "Why are they standing in a circle like that…?" 

He saw Anthony in the middle. 

"Ah, I see…He is the one who holds the White Silver Dragoon Spirit," he smirked, "I can sense the power emitting from him.  This shouldn't be too difficult then."

He leaped through the sunroof, crashing straight down onto the ground of the mall.  He took out his [Dragon Buster] as all of the innocent visitors ran around in a panic, and shards of glass fell from the ceiling.

"There he is!!" Meru pointed.

The six Dragoons turned to face him.

"It seems you've all been able to follow me here…" Lloyd said, "I'm guessing that feeble boy you are protecting is the holder of what I am looking for."

"You won't touch a hair on him!" Rose yelled.

"Lloyd!  What you've done is unforgivable!" Dart shouted, "I won't forgive you for what you've done!!"

"Aww…Do you miss your dear, sweet Shana?" he laughed, "Get over it Dart.  She's dead!  And I'm the one who plunged the blade that killed her.  It'll be nice to do the same thing to you with the same sword that killed her."

"You bastard!" Dart yelled in pain.

"Now, out of my way.  This is between that boy and I," Lloyd ordered.

"STAY AWAY!" Kongol shouted.

"Very well then.  We'll do it your way.  But, this time, I won't be defeated!" Lloyd yelled.

The six Dragoons protected Anthony and prepared for battle.
