Breath of Fire and all associated characters are property of Capcom. [My name is Jason Szymula and this is my first fan fiction story so go easy on me, also if you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. The story takes place right after the team defeats, Myria, and are trying to escape the tower. This is basically how I think the game would continue if it actually continued. Anyway, I will not really change any of the characters or how they would act if I can help it. This work is strictly mine and I want to keep it that way. If you're still reading this than I'll finish with by saying "hope you like the story." There I'm done now so you can stop reading this!!]

The Beginning

Chapter One: Escape

Ryu, Nina, Rei, Peco, and Momo had just defeated the goddess, Myria, in a long and hard battle. Since they defeated her, her tower was going with her so they had little time to get out.

"Ryu, we have to hurry!" A tired Wyndian princess told to her friend.

"I know. Let's hope the place holds together long enough." Ryu said as he hit the elevator started to go up. Momo and Rei had gone up right after the battle to make sure they could get out as fast as they could, but they didn't know that the huge metal doors that Honey opened would close after they left.

"Oh no! The doors are closing. How can we get out of here without Honey?" Nina yelled.

"Nina, try your wand on the door. Maybe the chrysm will trigger it or something." Ryu asked in a hurried tone.

"Ok, I'll try." Nina wave her hand to make her wand appear and began to summon up its energy. A few seconds later a colorful chrysm charged beam shot out to the center globe on the mechanical doors with no results. Scared, Nina walked over to Ryu with a questioning look on her face trying to ask him what to do now.

"Well, there is only one thing that will work. Nina stand back." Ryu command her as he started to charge energy into his body. He started to glow with the essence of the Brood, and just a second later a huge sphere of black electrical energy surrounded him and he let out a yell. When it dissipated, Nina saw the form he was in, the warrior form. "Here goes." As he said those words, he concentrated all of his strength into a powerful aura and then released, as a familiar giant form of his self threw itself at the door, smashing it off its foundation and shaking the floor.

Nina saw the hole and excitedly ran over to Ryu as he changed back and told him "It worked! Now we can get out of here. Let's hurry." The two of them started running up the walkway and up the stairs. When they got to the top they saw Momo and Rei heading there way and greeted them quickly and together made there way to the elevator while dodging falling debris and fires. When the elevator started down Momo asked "You two alright? We where coming back because we wonder what was taking you so long to get out."

"We're fine, but the metal doors closed before we got through so Ryu had to change and break them down." Nina explained.

"That explains the noise I heard as we where coming back. I didn't know the doors would close behind us. Sorry bout that." Momo said apologetically.

"That's ok. We got out fine didn't we?"

"I wouldn't say so yet!" Ryu cried as the elevator ramp was exploding behind them and catching up with them. "Hold on everyone!" The explosion caught up with them and sent the elevator flying off the ramp and into the desert beyond.

[Author's note- Something that always bothered me during the ending was when the doors closed in front of Ryu and Nina so I explained how they got out. This chapter was kind of short but that will change when I continue on with the next part. Hope you like it so far.]
