DDX- Random character, Striker. Alright people. Here we go. This is it.
Last chapter. I'm splitting it into two updates. This and another one. It
will have mini parts also. So, here we go.
Chapter 39: Final Strike
Part One: Death To The Flame and Darkness
Bejong, quick as the shadows, darted around the Balrog. Nimbulo, in a flash, whizzed by, creating an ice path that froze the Balrog's side. Bejong struck there, as Nimbulo flew to the other side. The Ice Dragoon stabbed the Balrog with the sharpest side of his spear. Another roar emitted from the Balrog's mouth. Teeth glared, and Bejong swore he could see a grin.
In the last two seconds of the Shadow Dragoon's life he muttered something.
"Die.well"
The Balrog threw out a fireball straight toward Bejong. Nimbulo attempted to freeze it but it was too quick and his ice beam missed by a longshot. Bejong spun into the forest, no Dragoon Armor to help. Then he disappeared into the green of the trees.
The Balrog went for Nimbulo next. A very sizeable larger fireball floated into the enemy's hand. And as the Balrog's right arm shot forth to fire the projectile, he created a shield, maybe to just save his life. The impact was deadly. Some kind of spell must've been thrown into the mix because there was an explosion that followed with the impact.
Nimbulo had fallen to the ground and like Bejong, had no Dragoon Armor to support him. Dragoness could only stand by in the Black Tower with Lavitz. He wasn't in Dragoon form but all of the sudden, his Spirit started glowing.
Lavitz's also. The two glowed in unison and they both knew hope was nearby. The shimmering glows put smiles on their faces. They didn't care who it was, or what. All they cared about now was killing the beast. But their hope would soon be shattered.
The Balrog noticed the two shining gems from the tower and summoned up a strong attack. This time, with all of the power it could gather, the Balrog covered itself in a vortex of heat and flame, then shot it toward the forest and the tower.
Each tree was burned carelessly, like a never-ending wave of flame, the forest died. It was infected with heat. Dragoness watched as the vortex became stronger with all the life it killed. He had gained much of his energy back, and the clouds started to become gray. Lighting crackled about the sky, and one particular beam was guided into his hands. He held it, and increased the power, as he planted his feet back with his knees bent. Dragoness harnessed all the power he could, and shot the bolt into the vortex, and the two energy attacks clashed.
At first, the beam of lighting broke into the vortex, but that was not the intention. Like a rope, Dragoness pulled the beam back. The vortex gained power, and advanced. With his other hand, Dragoness conjured another bolt of lightning and shot his arm forth, the electricity advancing into the heat. Dragoness knew he was going to lose if he kept this up, so he intensified both of his attacks with a yell. Lavitz stood by, and he didn't know what to do until inspiration struck. The Jade Dragoon, using the wind, made a tornado and brought it to the heat. Now, it was three attacks against one. The Balrog needed a comeback. All it could do was increase the power.
It did.
Lavitz held out his spear, the two ends in his hands. The heat advanced quicker than the two Dragoons' attacks. The Black Tower also felt the oncoming heat wave. It started to crumble.
"I won't! Let this tower! DIE ON ME!" Dragoness yelled
He fused his two bolts into one large one, and shot his arms forward, as an increase in power. His attack had now driven off the heat wave, so the Black Tower wouldn't crumble. He had saved it, for now.
Altec stood by during all of this, watching the two attacks battle it out. In a way, it was amusing. But in his other sense, it wasn't. He had to help, for now, the Balrog was emitted fireballs from its mouth. Many had already hit the tower, and it was soon to fall.
'Don't just stand there, DO something' the Divine Dragon seemed to yell
Altec flew up to the sky. He positioned himself to Dragoness' left side. A puzzled look took over Dragoness' angry face, he had never seen such a Dragoon. He would ask questions later. He intensified his bolts even more, as Altec prepared his attack.
A panel on Altec's right shoulder opened with steam. He glanced inside to see barrels of some sort. He felt it start to heat up, and then he felt the instinct again.
"Divine Dragon Ball"
In a flash, hundreds of fireballs projected themselves with great speed toward the Balrog. This effect lowered the Balrog's attack, allowing Dragoness' lighting beam through. The electricity broke the outer shell of the vortex and then zigzagged its way through to the Balrog. Another impact for the day, and the Balrog fell.
Success overcame them all. But it was again shattered. The Balrog hadn't been defeated. Dragoness had by now diminished his attack along with Lavitz.
The Balrog threw another fireball. This one larger than all the rest. It was the mother because this one was bigger than that of the tower they were standing in. Dragoness could sense the heat and knew there was no way he knew of that could fend off this attack. Lavitz did though, and mentioned to the Divine Dragoon.
Altec looked back, a look of confidence on his face. He summoned all of his magic into his left arm. He raised it, as he had earlier. This time, he asked for the energy, and was rewarded with more than before. He lowered the cannon again and called out the attack.
"Divine Dragon Cannon"
The beam was at its full level before it had been released. A great explosion followed the two attacks. Altec's attack had cut right through the gigantic fireball and flew straight toward the Balrog's head. Since it had not gotten up yet, the Balrog was hit and its head flew straight off.
It was finally dead, for good.
Altec lowered his attack with a sigh. The forest green started to become restored. The explosion had mysteriously disappeared. Dragoness had the happiest look on his face in a long time. Altec turned to face his fellow Dragoons.
"Heh, hey guys. Name's Altec"
"Dragoness"
"Lavitz"
Altec hovered into the tower's balcony. And started explaining to the Dragoons.
"Ok, hopefully I answer all of your questions. I was dead hours before this. The Divine Dragoon Spirit found its way over to Endiness and revived me. I traveled through the Dark Realm and flew here, upon directions from the Divine Dragon. It told me to come to this location and help you guys. The Dragon knew that the Balrog would come back alive and start fighting. So I came here and fought with you guys. Now I'm here talking with you" Altec explained
Lavitz was puzzled by the second sentence "When I knew the Divine Dragoon Spirit, it never had a revival spell. I am confused how it revived you"
"At least you came. I'm glad. But we still have work. That wasn't the last of our problems. I have to find Bejong and Nimbulo" Dragoness stated
He transformed quickly and flew down to the forest. He landed quietly and ran through. The rustling leaves reminded him that the forest had become alive again and he was a little more joyous. This had been their first victory so far, beside the war, which he had not fought in. His head turned and darted frantically, looking for the teenage boy.
"Where are you." he thought aloud
Finally, the trees broke and by his feet, there lay Bejong. Dragoness put a hand to his cheek. It was cold. Then, a finger to the back of his neck. He felt a very slow, very slight pulse. He then put his ear to Bejong's mouth, he was still breathing, ragged, slow breaths. He picked him up very slightly and gently, for one little jerk and the boy was dead.
As Dragoness walked through the quiet forest, he knew it was all too good to be true. A moment later, a black figure appeared from out of the ground, blocking him. Black wings emerged when it spread them. Dragoness dropped Bejong quietly and carefully. He pushed aside his violet robes, revealing Electidad. The demon withdrew two blades, silent and deadly (No, those are not the names but that would be cool).
Dragoness needed no sword. He wanted to use all of his magic, for he knew that he wouldn't need any of it. The demon rushed toward him, blades drawn forth. Dragoness had no defense, and the field they had was limited by intimidating trees. He threw out his hands and caught the slicing blades.
Blood drew fearlessly from his hands as he held the swords. The demon put more muscle into it, and more blood flowed from Dragoness. He had to stop. He withdrew his hands as the demon fell face first into the ground over Dragoness. Spinning, he drew his short sword. The demon also got up quickly and then they stared each other down. The only problem was, they had switched sides. The demon was next to Bejong, and he spun his blade downward, about to strike downward onto the boy's chest. As the blade was about to pierce, Dragoness put forth a beam of electricity into the demon's arm, lifting it up and throwing the sword into the forest.
The demon had been beaten and he knew it. He hurriedly picked up Bejong and darted through the forest, Dragoness following. Slowly, the demon started to sink into the ground, just like it had come up.
Meanwhile, back at the Black Tower, Altec and Lavitz had started to worry. It had been almost a half-hour now and something had to be wrong. Altec searched his eyes around the forest.
The demon had stopped sinking because he had gotten at least a couple minutes ahead of Dragoness. Now, he had reached a cliff, overlooking the lake. He held Bejong over it, waiting for Dragoness.
The Violet Dragoon had emerged from the brush and trees and his eyes opened wide. He saw Bejong.
"Give me the dagger.or the boy diesss" he hissed
"I don't have it. He does!" Dragoness gestured toward the Black Tower
The demon suddenly dropped Bejong over the lake, not caring, and darted for the tower. Dragoness transformed and flew down, catching Bejong, as he was about to hit the water. Dragoness laid him on the cliff, and concealed him.
"I'll be back" (a classic line)
The Dragoon took off and followed the demon, shooting lightning at the enemy. Every one missed, he was too quick. He sent a mental note to Lavitz, who listened promptly.
'Get ready, demon coming'
"Get your weapon ready, we have a visitor" Lavitz warned
A moment later, the demon flew up to them, demanding the Black Dagger. Lavitz concealed it without the noticing and forced his spear forward. Altec too, stood in a guarding position with his sword. The demon, not caring, drew his one sword.
Altec's sword then changed, as he transformed. It became the curved sword of the Divine Dragoon, the one with the indent and the second small blade that spawned from the main blade. Lavitz, being in Dragoon form already, slammed his spear into the demon's blade. Then, twisting, he jutted it into his stomach. The demon fell, but soon flew back up.
Altec this time, jumped up and clashed. Sparks flew down to the forest. Altec thrust his free arm, the arm with the cannon, into the demon's stomach. Again, he fell but this time into the lake. He didn't come back up.
Dragoness hovered in the air and watched. Then, he turned around and flew for Bejong. With relief, he found Bejong where he had left him, breathing more normally. He picked him up again, then flew toward the Black Tower.
Dragoness laid Bejong onto the stone ground of the Black Tower. Quickly, he pooped out a healing fog, and put it to the Shadow Dragoon's lips. The blue liquid flowed into his mouth and in a few moments, his eyes fluttered open.
"My Dragoon Spirit!" were the first words out of his mouth
"What? Where is it?" Dragoness asked
Just then, Nimbulo came up the tower stairs, holding the Shadow Dragoon Spirit in his hands.
"Looking for something?"
For the first time in a long while, the mood of the environment was that of joy.
*** Part Two: Lead Off
Shana coughed as she opened her eyes. Her breaths were jagged and short. She leaned over and vomited blackness. It was a foul sight. When she was done, Jade reassured her that everything was ok. Before standing, Shana ripped the Star Dragoon Spirit out of Omega's body. Black, sizzling blood was soaking the ground. Jade ripped Shana away because it was acid and she knew it.
Kongol and Meru got up after they saw the two girls limping on each other. All the Dragoons met up with each other around the fallen body of Omega. They all seemed to be ok, but then the shadow rose up from the ground, and they stood in ready positions.
Jade sliced at Omega with her katana. Blood was seeping from the wound she made. Shana had transformed now, and was darting all over Omega. Kongol was firing meteors all over the body and prison around.
Then, Dragoness contacted Jade.
'Time to lead it. Fly in the middle of the Towers' Dragoness told her
Dart sat in waiting. He hated waiting. Jake was across from him, overlooking his homeland. It was beautiful. What a fate to be put on it that it should all come down to this. Then, disappointment. What if something went wrong? What would they do then? Would they have enough power to stop it? All the Dragoons together surely wouldn't be able to do it. Dart seemed to read his mind.
"I can sense it. There's another one of us, a Dragoon. Only, I don't know what one it could possibly be"
"What about that other one you told me about? The one you threw" Jake started
"The Divine Dragoon? No way, it couldn't travel all the way to Endiness and back her with an owner" Dart denied "You never know. I mean, we are out here all alone" Jake pointed out
"Yeah, that's right. But for some odd reason I think the end is soon to come" Dart told him
At that very second, Dragoness contacted him.
'Omega is coming. Plan has been put into action. And we have a new recruit. Name's Altec and he's the Divine Dragoon. We have some hope, just hold on to it. I'll contact you when you raise the Dagger' Dragoness transmitted
"Well, apparently, the Divine Dragoon is alive and kicking" Dart explained "His name is Altec. Omega is chasing Jade and them. So the plan is in action. How long do you think it will take them to get here?"
"I'd say about a half hour with their speed" Jake estimated
"Good. Cause now I'm ancy" Dart admitted
Jake gave a small chuckle before returning to his admiring of the land.
"Irritate it Shana! Now!" Jade commanded
"Celestial Blast!" Shana shouted
The colorful beam of light shot from her hands and hit Omega straight in the face, right where she wanted to. It worked because now Omega was angered to its limit. All of the Dragoons shot up from the ground and flew full speed, following Jade.
Wind ripped through her blonde hair. The green magic trailing her was being left behind. She was too fast for even her own Dragoon Spirit. Then it hit her.
"While Sea Dragon!"
Her Dragon appeared beside her. She flew over it with caution. Then, not slowing down for a second, she held on to the tail. Jade then launched herself onto her Dragon's back and held on. Kongol, Shana, and Meru followed her idea. Soon, Dragons and Omega soared the sky. It looked like a nice little joy ride from below. But if the people of Orth knew what these eleven people were really doing, then they would be in peril.
They were now passing over the Proba Forest. Jade had never seen it from above before. It looked amazing. She just wondered what the land would be like without it. The same thoughts like Jake's had come pouring through her mind. To see this beautiful land, diminished to a demon world. Filled with darkness and pain and death. She wouldn't be able to handle that.
She also wouldn't let that happen.
They kept good pace and once in a while, Meru or Kongol would fire magic at Omega. This would fill the anger level to the highest, thus causing speed to increase. The East Mountain fog was now visible and the Forbidden Sea could be seen.
With the best eyesight he could make, Altec searched for them. Then, he saw them all. Gold, Blue-Sea, Star, and White-Silver. All of them there. And Omega following behind them. Dragoness too looked and warned Lavitz.
Jake also, saw them. And told Dart to be ready and focus.
Jade changed coarse to the North so they would be smack dab in the middle. About 5 more minutes.
These few minutes passed ever so quickly. Dragoness transmitted.
*** Part Three: Daggers Raised
'Dart! Get your ass ready!' Dragoness told him
The Dark-Flame Dragoon stood on his feet, and withdrew the White Dagger.
'From ten'
The group flew slower but more efficiently and Omega got angrier.
A/N: Cue Linkin Park's 'In The End' Remix
'Nine'
So much closer.
'Eight'
Lavitz drew the Black Dagger.
'Seven'
Jade flew with increasing speed.
'Six'
Dragoness now started to count aloud too.
'Five'
'Four'
Everyone stopped breathing. This was the final moment. It had all come down to this, all the fighting, the hardships, and the troubles.
'Three'
'Two'
'ONE'
"NOW! Take cover!" Dragoness yelled
Everyone ducked down onto each other. Lavitz and Dart raised their arms slowly. Jade and her group flew down into the forest and trees and plains below. Omega was caught in all the action. The beam hit dead on.
One brilliant flash of white light took over the world of Orth.
Chapter 39: Final Strike
Part One: Death To The Flame and Darkness

With the best eyesight he could make, Altec searched for them. Then, he saw them all. Gold, Blue-Sea, Star, and White-Silver. All of them there. And Omega following behind them. Dragoness too looked and warned Lavitz.
Jake also, saw them. And told Dart to be ready and focus.
Jade changed coarse to the North so they would be smack dab in the middle. About 5 more minutes.
These few minutes passed ever so quickly. Dragoness transmitted.
*** Part Three: Daggers Raised
'Dart! Get your ass ready!' Dragoness told him
The Dark-Flame Dragoon stood on his feet, and withdrew the White Dagger.
'From ten'
The group flew slower but more efficiently and Omega got angrier.

'Nine'
So much closer.
'Eight'
Lavitz drew the Black Dagger.
'Seven'
Jade flew with increasing speed.
'Six'
Dragoness now started to count aloud too.
'Five'
'Four'
Everyone stopped breathing. This was the final moment. It had all come down to this, all the fighting, the hardships, and the troubles.
'Three'
'Two'
'ONE'
"NOW! Take cover!" Dragoness yelled
Everyone ducked down onto each other. Lavitz and Dart raised their arms slowly. Jade and her group flew down into the forest and trees and plains below. Omega was caught in all the action. The beam hit dead on.
One brilliant flash of white light took over the world of Orth.
