Painful Justice
Nina was walking down the road to Wyndia with Lorelai and Valindo. Rumor has it that a woman with Dragon wings was going around the world trying to bring justice wherever she went. We say "trying", because she obviously had some skewed ideas on what "justice" really was. She'd interfered in some arguments, thinking that one person was bullying the other. And once, she stopped the production of a play, because she thought that the villain was really going to conjure up a demon to attack the town. She wondered why she had opened her big mouth when her friends had heard about it.

"Figures," mumbled Raven after hearing about the woman's adventures, "She has to be a Light Dragon. Only they would insist on fighting for justice, and getting involved in many misunderstandings in the process. No self respecting Dark Dragon would ever get into trouble with such ambitions." He seemed to be staring right at Valindo when he said those words.
"We'll see about that Raven! I'll go out there and help her find the true meaning of justice, even if I have to search for years to find out where she went," vowed Valindo.
Lorelai added, "I'll go with him. He's gonna need all the help he can in order to find her."
Raven laughed. "That's a laugh, you kids just go on and have a good time playing hero."
"I just happen to be two years older than you," yelled Valindo, "Who's the kid around here?"
"And at least we don't go around looking for trouble. We know you're always sneaking off to McNeill village, and making mischief for the residents," chimed in Lorelai.
Raven stated, "I was looking for Sylvia. She wanted to find out what happened there with her cousin and his buddies eight years ago. It's all her fault that I got in trouble."
Valindo clenched his fists. "Coward! Hiding behind a girl. If you were a real man, you'd fight your own battles. I never went so far as to use the girls as a shield."
"That's enough!" Nina exclaimed, "I will go with Valindo and Lorelai to find this Dragon woman. I'm sure they can't get into too much trouble if I am there with them.

'Why did I have to open my mouth? I could have been home, drinking some nice, hot tea. But no, I had to say I'd go and track down a dang justice freak,' mused Nina.
Suddenly, a group of monsters attacked. Out came Valindo's sword, and the girls' wands. They prepared to face the beasts. But before they could attack, something happened.
A voice rang out, "Villainous demons who disrupt the peace. Now you will fall by my blade." At that moment, a young girl of about nineteen jumped down from a higher cliff on the mountain. She had long blond hair, blue eyes, and golden Dragon wings on her back. Her clothing consisted of white breeches, and a yellow tunic. The armor she wore was gold, along with a gold belt with a diamond in the center, golden gauntlets and greaves, as well as a golden helm with a diamond in the middle.
Behind her came a nineteen-year-old boy. He was dressed similarly, although he tucked his tunic in his breeches. Brown leather shoes were on his feet, and he had on golden armor and a golden belt. His hair was short and red, and his eyes were blue.
The girl walked forward. "Fear me demon. My name is Selene, world famous Hero of Justice. And this is my partner, The Great Justin. By our swords, you shall die fiend!"
Both drew their swords. Then, they ran forward and attacked the beast. Nina and her allies watched the two with interest. They figured that this must be the Dragon woman from the rumors. Although none of the rumors mentioned her having an ally.
Soon, the demon was destroyed. Selene wiped the blood off of her sword. Justin, noticing what his friend was doing, began to do the same. Nina thought that he had a crush on her.
"Foolish demon," she said, "He should have known that he couldn't defeat a pair of Light Dragons in combat. I hope none of you were hurt. This place can be dangerous if you can't handle yourself."
"We weren't in any danger. I could have taken care of it," Nina told her.
Justin suddenly exclaimed, "My Lady! This is the woman from my dreams. The one who claimed to be the Queen of Dragons, and walked off with the King into the mists."
Selene looked at Nina. "You're right Justin. She does look like our Queen. I guess we've found her at last. What do our people call you, Your Majesty?"
"Nina," she replied, "And these two are Lorelai and Valindo of the Light Dragon Clan."
At that moment, another monster attacked. It looked like it was the mate of the one that Selene had just killed. And it was pretty mad at the young woman for doing just that.
"Let's go Justin. We'll have to transform," Selene stated.
Then, they became Dragons. Selene turned into a Star Dragon. She now had golden scales with yellow spikes coming down her neck, back, and tail. The Dragon also had a curly yellow horn on each side of her head, much like the one on the Moon Dragon.
Justin became a Holy Dragon. He was now covered in blue scales. No spikes were on his body, but there was a golden horn on his head and he had gold eyes.
With one of Selene's Golden Breaths, the demon was killed. Then, they transformed back into humans. Selene asked, "Did you see how good we did? Another victory for the Allies of Justice. If you wish to fight for justice, can you recruit the two of us to your ranks?"
Nina sweatdropped. "Sure Selene. You can come back to our treehouse with us." But she was really wondering how she would be able to keep the young woman out of trouble.

I had to write a character ala Amelia from Slayers. Thought it would be funny. Well, here are the stats for the last of our OCs. As you've seen, both use swords in battle.
Selene (three years older than Nina): Miracle, ???, Celestrial (her unique)
Justin (three years older than Nina): Failure, Trance, Saint (his unique)
Here comes the last jump, and then we'll be in the timeframe of Adulthood.
