Four lights fly from the island and head for Neet. Snap and Dart are racing again while Zeig and Rose just relax and fly calmly. Snap is in front of Dart by about two feet ,but Dart is catching up very quickly.

Snap:I guess it is all coming back to ya heh, Dart.

Dart:Yeah and it feels great. I now remember how I felt the first time I transformed into the red-eye dragoon.

Snap:Good. Now it is time for me to activate my secret weapon.

Two blue Wingly wings erupt from the Plasma Dragoon. And as a result Snap leaves all the others in his jet wash.

Dart:(to Rose)He's a Wingly?

Rose:Half Wingly, half Human. Called a HuWing.

Dart:(Amazed)WOW!!

Rose:There are only two HuWings in existence and they are seen as the outcasts of all civilizations. So make sure you become good friends with him. You might be one of the only True friends he has had in his 1900 year life.

Dart:(amazed again)1900 years!!

Rose:Yeah. That's how he knows me so well. And how he knows a lot about dragons.

Dart:Cool!!

As Dart, Zeig ,and Rose arrive in Neet, Snap is sitting on the ground asleep. When they land he snaps awake and looks at the sky.

Snap:Took you long enough.

Dart:Yeah, well we can't fly at the speed of light like you.

Snap:I guess we should get some rest. We have a long journey ahead of us.

Dart:What journey?

Snap:We have to reunite all draggons.

Dart:Why??

Sanp:Because if we don't HE will finish what Melbu Frahma began.

Dart:Who's HE

Snap:Don't know, but he is one mean dude.

Dart:Meaner than Melbu!!

Snap:Oh YEAH. A lot meaner.

Dart:And what is he trying to do we already destroyed the moon that never sets and the Virage Embryo's soul.

Snap:I know but there are other way to destroy the world. Like the Forbidden Dragoon.

Dart:The Forbidden Dragoon??

Snap:Yeah. I don't know much about it but it is said it has the power to destroy a whole star system so I think one little world should be no problem to it.

Dart:So where is this Dragoon Spirit??

Snap:In the Land of Dragons.

Dart:Land of Dragons??

Snap:Yeah. Geez Dart you really should listen to what your dragoon spirit tells ya. The Land Of Dragons is a world parralel to this one. It is believed that dragons came thru a portal to that land instead of coming from the Divine Tree.

Dart:A portal between the two?

Snap: Yeah, but no one knows where such a portal is at so no human or wingly has ever been to the Land of Dragons.

Rose: But it is said that Soa created a Map to the portal and divided it amongst the four continents of Endiness.

Snap:Right! And I believe He is going to go after them peices soon.

Dart:How about we call He Evil for now until we learn who he really is?

Snap:Ok. I believe Evil will be going after that map soon.

Dart:Well I have enough room at my house for all of you to sleep.

Snap:Well, Thank you Dart.

Rose: Yes, we really apreciate it.

Zeig:What about Shana?

Dart:I really wish you would not mention that name.

Zeig:I see. I'm sorry son.

Dart:Oh....No we haven't been getting along lately but she hasn't left. YET.

Snap:Sounds like you want her to leave.

Dart:I do. Oh I would love it if she went back to Seles.

Snap:(To Rose)I thought they really loved each other?

Rose:Me too.

Zeig:What happened between you two, son?

Dart:We just aren't really as close as we thought. That's all.

Snap:Hmmm...I see.

Dart:Well anyway the place is over here.

Dart leads the three to the tall building where the worker had dropped the log.

Dart:(Embarrassed)It isn't completely done yet ,but they have got the first three stories finished.

Snap:(Looking up)HOW BIG IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE. This thing is as big as the Twin Castle in Fletz.

Snap was exagerating, but not by much. It really was as big as the castle in Bale already.

Dart:(Proudly)It will be five stories high when it is done.

Zeig:What did you do to pay for such a place??

Dart:I saved the world plus Albert would not let me live in anyting under the mass of his castle.

Snap: The King of Serdio payed to have your house built!!!
Dart: He pay'd some and I payed for the rest. We made quite a bit of money defarting monsters and finding treasure during our journey and when we split up we also divided the money evenly. Of course some part of this should have been Rose's.

Rose: That's Ok. I don't need money.

Snap: I never imagined any girl in the world would say that.

The front door opened and a beautiful brown haired young woman stepped out. When she looked at the crowd her eyes went wide.

Girl:Rose!!!Zeig!!! I must be dreaming.

Then she saw Snap.

Girl: But I would not dream about him because I don't know him.

Rose: It's not a dream Shana.

Shana went wide-eyed again and ran up to Rose giving her a tight hug. A very tight hug.

Rose:(Out of Breath)We..ll it is g..ood. to see you to b..ut you're cut..tng o..ff my cir..culation.

Shana gasps and lets go.

Shana: Oh I'm soo sorry. It is just i never thought I would see you again. Hello Zeig.

Zeig:All I get is a hello. Shana come over here and give me a hug.

Shana did so but not so tight.

Zeig: My you have grown Shana.

Dart: Shana, This is Snap. Snap,Shana.

Snap walks to her and takes her hand. He holds it up and kisses it. Shana just blushes.

Snap:The pleasure is all mine.

He releases her hand and bows.

Dart:Ohh you're nothing but a big flirt, man.

Shana:(Angry) At least he has taste when it comes to girls.

Dart: He doesn't like you he did almost the same thing with Rose earlier.

Shana looks at Rose. Rose Nodds. Shana slaps Snap and runs back im the house. Slamming the door.

Snap:OW.

Dart: I know how it feels, man. Anyway come inside.

Dart leads them in the house and shuts the door. The place looks like a castle on the inside too.

Snap:WOW!! Man, you live like a king.

Dart:Only if Shoving Shana would leave. Then I would be living like a king.

In the dining room a loud crash is heard.

Shana: I heard that, Jerk.

Dart: GOOD.

Snap:(whispering to Rose)Are you sure it is safe to stay here.

Rose:(gigling)I was begining to ask te same question.

They both laugh. Zeig and Dart turn around to see why they are laughing.

Zeig:What is so funny.

Rose: Nothing.(Becomes serious) Dart, Which room is mine?

Dart: All the extra rooms are on the third floor.

Snap:(making his way up the stairs and yawning)Well I'll see you in the morning Dart.

Snap walks up the second flight of stairs and into one of the ten guest rooms.

Zeig: Same here.

Rose: Me too.

Dart:Ok. Good night.

Everybody goes to their own bedroom and quickly fall asleep.
The next morning, Dart gets up and goes outside to practice with his sword as he does every morning. But as soon as he steps off the porch he hears light karate yells and runs to find out who is in trouble. But when he gets to the forest behind his house he finds out that Snap is already up and doing what Dart usually does. He was practicing with his two swords. This made Dart wonder about something. So he walks over and watches Snap from behind a tree.

Dart: Why do you use two swords that don't match??

Snap:One is very special to me and the other is just strong.

Dart: How is the red one special??

Snap: It's not. It's the one that is just strong. The blue katana is the special one.

Dart: Why??

Snap: It was a gift from my father before he died.

Dart: I thought you were an orphan.

Snap: I was but when I got old enough I left to find my real father.

Dart: Oh.

Snap looks a ways in front of him at a tree with a lt of sword marks on it.

Snap: That your practice tree?

Dart:(Looking at the tree)Yeah.

Snap: Mind if I cut it down?

Dart:No.

Snap closes his eyes and begins to hum. As he hums the blade of his sword begins to glow. When it gets so bright that Dart has to shiels his eyes, He opens his eyes and swings the sword. A copy of the blade made from light jumps off the blade and travels to the tree. When it smashes into the tree the tree just explodes.

Dart:(Shocked)WOW!!! What was that.

Snap: A move my father taught me before he died. It can explode anything but I can't use it in battle because of the charge time.

Dart:COOL!!
Snap: Want to practice with me??

Dart:(unsheathing his sword "Claymore")Sure.

Snap:Ok I'll put down one of my swords. To make it even.

Zeig:(from behind a tree) No use one sword against Dart and one against me at the same time.

Dart: Dad he might be good but so are we.

Zeig: I think he can do it.

Snap: OK

Zeig: Dart, do you have a sword I can use?

Dart: Yeah, dad.

Dart runs back to the house. In the kitchen Rose and Shana are making breakfast.
Rose sees Dart and smiles.

Rose: Hey, Dart.

Dart(Stopping in the middle of the hall)What?

Rose: Come here a minute, honey.

Dart:(thinking)Honey??

Dart: One minute I have to get a sword for dad.

Dart walks to the sword room on the second floor and examines a regular brown sword. He picks it up and swings it around a few times before laying it back.

Dart: No too short.

He picks up sword after sword and lays them down after finding some defect in them. Finally he finds the one. It is perfect size and shape for his dad. It is called "The SunSlash" and it causes fire elemental damage to its target plus gives the weilder 38% protection from fire element attacks. He puts it in a sheath and goes back down stairs and into the kitchen.
Rose looks directly at him as he walks in. She smiles devilishly.

Dart:What did you want me for, Rose.

Rose: Well, Shana and I have come up with a idea for tonight.
Dart:(gulping)What kind of idea?

Rose: Shana told me the are having a bit of a party tonight to celebrate the completion of the new pub. We also thought that you might.......

Dart: Might what?

Rose: Take me as your date and talk Snap into taking Shana.

Dart:WHAT?

Shana: Well..

Dart: Shana, Are you Ok with me being with Rose?

Shana: Dart, you said it last night , we are finished.

Dart: Ok I'll take you Rose, but I don't know about Snap. What about dad?

Shana: We will fix him up with somebody we know.

Dart: umm OK.

Dart left the house and went back to the spot where Zeig and Snap were waiting.

Snap: What took you so long?

Snap and Zeig had their swords locked. While they were waiting they had decided to go ahead and practice a little bit using Snap's two swords.

Dart: I need to talk to the two of you first.

They parted swords and Zeig handed Snap back the ruby handled one.

Zeig: What is it you wish to talk to us about?

Dart: Snap, Shana wants to know if you will take her to the party tonight at the new pub?
and dad, I am taking Rose.

Zeig: I knew you two would come together if anything ever happened with Shana.
Me and Rose are just good friends now, nothing more.

Snap: I'll take Shana, but she better not want any kind of commitment.

Dart: She doesn't.

Zeig: So let's FFIIIGGGHHHTTT.

Dart gives the SunSlash to his father ,and the fight begins. Dart tries to use moon strike but gets counterattacked on the third hit. Zeig jumps high above Snap and raises his sword over his head. As he comes down he slahes down, but he hits a invisible barrier and is thrown against a nearby tree. the tree breaks as he hits it. Dart meanwhile is also having no luck. He has tried every combo he has and all of them are blocked. Zeig Stands up and charges at Snap while Snap is concentrating both swords on Dart. He gets through and places his sword on Snap's neck.

Zeig:Ha game over

Then a voice shouts from behind them.

Voice:Why you hurt tree what has it done to you.

Zeig turns around to see SNAP resting on a tree limb. He turns around and looks at his sword and the log it is hitting.

Zeig: What the?? That is a Ninja skill?

Snap: Yep. It is the only one I know.

Dart: You have got to teach me that someday

Zeig: Yeah,me too.

Snap: Ok someday but now we have a party to get ready for.

Snap drops from his place on the tree and walks over to the to guys.

Snap:Well you almost got me.

Zeig:Told you he was good enough to take on both of us.

Snap: If both of you had really been trying you would have got me.

Dart: Anyway, let's get ready for the party.

Snap:OK Should we wear our armor?

Dart: Yeah, it is in a bar. There might be a bar fight if we are lucky.

The three of them returned to the house where Rose and Shana were putting on make-up.

Dart:(Whispering to Zeig and Snap)WOW!! Rose is actually doing something girlish.

Zeig:(Whispering)Yeah. I guess they are right when they say there is a first time for everything.

Snap:(Whispering)She looks incredible without it, so imagine her with it.

They do so.Dart pictures her wearing a dark blue dress that almost touches the floor. Her hair put up and wearing a Diamond necklace.

Dart: WOW!!

Snap:(whispering)Would you come out of LaLa land?

Dart:(comes back to reality)We better wash up.(looks down at himself)We are pretty filthy.

Snap:Yeah, I agree. That practice was very messy.

Dart:There are five bathrooms on the second floor.

Zeig:Good, Let's go clean up.
