are in no way my property and I take no credit for designing and creating
them.
Author: Ok.this is my first post on Fanfiction.net so don't get mad if it is pretty bad, if it is.tell me so I can fix it. Anyway, the prologue starts off the day after the death of Zieg, Frahma, and Rose and the end of the Second Dragon Campaign. The Dragoons were invited to the Crystal Palace to attend a banquet in their honor and allow the Heroes to rest.
Prologue: Death of the Old
Dart, Shana, Miranda, Haschel, Meru, Albert, and Kongol all entered the shining throne room of Deningrad's Crystal Palace and proceeded to kneel before the throne of Queen Theresa. The glare of the sun through the famous crystal walls would have been blinding to the heroes of the Second Dragon Campaign had this been their first visit.
"Please stand heroes" spoke the soft voice of Queen Theresa "It is my pleasure to welcome the heroes who saved Endiness."
"Thank you Your Majesty" Dart replied being the very first to stand then one by one the rest of Dragoons and Shana followed suite. "And thank you for allowing us to stay here for the night and for the lovely banquet"
"I second that!" Shouted out Hashel as the martial arts master rubbed his stomach in bliss remembering the feast of the previous night.
The Queen chuckled indiscreetly and continued to ask the question that had been the reason that she asked them to appear before that day.
"So." she began "Now that you have dealt with the recent problem, what will you do?"
Queen Theresa chuckled again at the puzzled perceptions of the Dragoons. Obviously they hadn't given it much thought. Each of the 7 Heroes had a different expression on their face, some puzzled, some excited at the thought, and some didn't seem to care.
"I guess I'll go to see if the Winglies in our forest want to come out after all this time and meet some actual humans for the first time in 10000 years" Said Meru
"I will continue my quest to find my daughter" said Haschel queitly
"I have a kingdom that I must run, and now that I have time, I think that I will probably start planning for a Serdian Holiday in Honor of Lavitz" Stated Albert
"Kongol don't know what to do, I am the last of my people. Maybe Kongol should just return to Home of Gigantos" Stuttered Kongol
"Well" Shana started to blush "I would like to start a family now, if you don't mind Dart." Shana managed to get out through her cherry red blushing and timid muttering. Her timidity made Dart chuckle a little.
"I was planning on checking around Endiness to make sure there are no more Virage out there. After all, now that we have the moon-child again." Dart passed a glance at Shana "we can awaken them and destroy them before they make trouble. That is.if you don't mind Shana." Dart turned to Shana.
"I don't mind" Said the now perked up Shana "I know that now that I am with you again, I'll be safe" She walked over and wrapped her arms around his right arm and hung on him.
"I guess my search can wait a little longer" Added Hachel
"Kongol have nothing better to do, so I go with you" Said Kongol
"Serdio has waited this long for me, but my duty as Dragoon comes first" Stated Albert
"Well, I won't be the only one left behind, I'm comin' too" Shouted Meru
"Okay, then you will all be going I trust" Said Theresa "Good Luck to you all"
"Wait a sec" Interupted Miranda "I'm not going. I'm staying here to fulfill my duty as a Sacred Sister of Mille Seseau. It's bad enough that I've been gone this long and I still would like to be here to help undo the damage done by the Divine Dragon."
Queen Theresa partially expected this from the hot-headed Sacred Sister. Miranda had an attachment to Mille Seseau and the people thereof partially because it had been this community that had welcomed her after her mother abandoned her. However, even though Theresa didn't have the heart to tell the Sister that she shouldn't stay, Albert had a very different view on the matter.
"What do you mean your not going? Exploded Albert "You have a duty to not just Deningrad or even all Mille Seseau but to all Endiness. You are a Dragoon and that should come first before all things. There are three other Sacred Sisters and a Queen they will look after this City while we go to Kashua."
"Look, Albert" Retaliated Miranda "I understand that it is okay with you to leave behind your country to go fight, but I do not feel the same okay? So back off"
Miranda shook her fist at Albert and then the two began to argue for what seemed like an endless amount of time. The rest of the party all began to sigh in relief waiting for it all to blow over. Each of them were sure Albert would have his way, after all he was gifted with the tongue even if people soon got tired of his long-winded answers and explanations.
The fight seemed to be getting to it's peak when the unexpected happened. The White Silver Dragoon spirit began to emit a bright glow that consumed Miranda's body. All of the Dragoons were in shock for a little while until the Spirit began to suddenly levitate into the air above Miranda. At this point they understood, the White Silver Dragon Spirit had moved on from Miranda, what they didn't know was who would be it's next choice.
Shana looked on excitedly hoping against hope that the Dragon Spirit would once again choose her now that she was in no more danger from Frahma. Vivid thoughts of her and Dart fighting side-by-side again made her almost want to faint.
The Spirit slowly levitated over Shana and then dropped into her waiting hands. Shana whispered a soft "thank you" under her breath and Miranda sighed in relief.
"So," The now even more excited Shana brought up "When do we leave?" ==========================================================================
The six Dragoons entered the frozen waist land known as the Kashua Glacier. The all walked into a small cave that they had found (with the exception of Meru, who was trying to build up her magic endurance) and they all sat down.
"So Dart" Began Albert "How exactly do you plan on finding out if there are any Virage here?"
"Well, in the past all of our battles with the Virage outside of the Moon, were awakened by the presence of Shana" Dart said "so I figure that we can either wait around for a while and see if they come out, or see if Shana can call out to them and lure them here."
The group of Dragoons thought for a moment and based solely on the cold, decided to attempt if Shana could call any Virage in the area. After a short rest and a little lunch, the Dragoons walked out into the snowfields and prepared, Sprits in hand and surrounded Shana.
"Wish me luck Dart" Said Shana as she smiled. Her smile was returned with a warm smile from Dart also. "Okay, let's give this a shot"
Shana shut her eyes and began to concentrate on the Virage. She focused on their every aspect that she knew and envisioned them in her mind. Her body began to glow pale blue and the aura that surrounded her was enough to even block out the cutting cold of the Glacier. After she realized that the glow had surrounded her she knew that she made contact, she reached out to mind and seconds later the ground began to shake.
"Ok, it's coming" Screamed Dart over the chilling winds.
Simultaneously, five of the six Dragoons transformed leaving only Shana who was still trying to complete calling the Virage to their location. The five transformed warriors hovered in the spots they had just stood in, all in the glinting armor of the Blue Sea, Violet, Jade, Gold, and Divine Dragoons.
Soon the beast came to the surface, and Shana initiated her transformation. The familiar bright glow came from the spirit and cloaked her in the armor of the healer dragoon, the White Silver Dragoon, her bow in hand she braced herself for battle.
The Virage fully emerged from the snow about ten yards from where the Dragoons were hovering and they all took flight. The Grey titan that had once been the tool of the Winglies in the first Dragon Campaign reared it's headless torso to reveal it's one eye and vertical slit for a mouth.
After the beast stood at full stature, the Dragoons prepared.
The Virage took the first swing, aiming immediately at the strongest of the Dragoons, Dart: the Divine Dragoon. Dart easily darted upward to avoid the attack, and thus the battle commenced. Meru went in first, dragging her large hammer behind her, she dove under the creature and went through it's legs ending up behind it. She came up to the back of it's knee and landed a massive strike sending it down to one knee. The Virage retaliated and swung back at her, but she easily dodged, and followed up with a beam ice magic freezing the creatures whole lower leg to the ground.
From a distance, Shana was next. She focused the light energy around her into an arrow and fitted it into her bow. She took aim at the creature's eye and fired the beam of light. The Virage was quick to spot her attack, and fired a large beam of energy originating from it's eye that immediately destroyed the arrow and went on towards Shana. Not being used to battle, Shana froze up in panic and watched the oncoming laser.
"Shana, watch out!!!!" Dart Screamed as he sped to intercept the oncoming laser. He arrived just in time to reach Shana right before the laser did and turned his back to it taking in the full impact of it. A moment of pain shot through Dart's system, but the armor did more than enough to preserve his life.
"Thank you Dart" Shana smiled "I'm okay now."
Shana called for another light arrow and fitted it to her bow. Shana rolled in mid air to the right and fired her second shot at the Virage's eye. The beast screamed in pain as it's blue blood oozed from it's now open eye, but got no compassion from Hashel, who was the next Dragoon in line for his attack. He flew over the Virage and landed on top of it. He held up his hand and a bolt of violet lightning shot from the sky to his hand.
"Take that!!!!" Hascel cried as he slammed his fist onto the Virage's forehead and the bolt of lightning sprung from his hand into the creature's body causing it to convulse and spray out a stream of blood onto the snow.
At this point the Virage was swinging blindly at it's foes hoping for the hits it wasn't getting. Kongol stepped up to the plate now and flew into the path of one of the arms, he brought back his fierce axe and cleaved right through the right arm of the Virage, causing yet another opening in which it's blood gushed forth. Kongol turned around and did the same to the other arm of the Virage.
The now helpless creature did all it could do. It squealed in pain as it's blood, it's source of life flowed freely out of him. Albert saw this as the time to end the battle and began to spin his spear in front of him. From the spinning spear emerged a small typhoon that broke off the frozen leg of the Virage and lifted it steadily up into the air. He held this position and turned to Dart signaling to end the battle.
Dart raised the cannon on his left arm in front of him, and watched as the pale purple energy swirled around and eventually entered to barrel of the cannon. He sought to end the creature's misery right here, right now.
"Divine Dragon Cannon!" Screamed Dart as a large bluish purple beam fired from the barrel of the cannon. The Virage sensed the end coming near and struggled even more to free itself, but to no avail. The energy beam hit the Virage in mid air disintegrating it instantly.
The smoke cleared and there was nothing left.
The six Dragoons all landed down on the ground and depowered, a little tired, but all excited.
"Well" Started Dart "it seems that, that is that. It's been fun."
The other five Dragoons all agreed and began to say their final farewells before they all went their separate ways.
In the midst of the snow not far away they heard a female voice.
"What, leaving so soon?" The mysterious voice called out. "The fun has just started."
A medium sized woman stepped into view on the snowfield and approached the Dragoons. Her hair was crystal blue and she wore a pair of jeans and a crimson long sleeved shirt. They all were taken aback by the fact that that she was here, but even more that she had a 2-foot blade in her right hand and she looked prepared for battle.
"Who are you?" Dart was the first to ask the question on all of their minds
"Call me Bellana" The mysterious woman said.
"So what do you want with us?" Asked Dart.
"I want the tool that will help me exact my revenge on all you pitiful humans," she said coldly, then she turned to Meru "and you cowardly winglies"
All of the Dragoons were startled by her words. They had no idea what she was babbling about, or more so, why she knew that the winglies were still alive. The looks of surprise on her face made Bellana smirk.
"What do you mean?" Dart asked curiously. He figured that maybe she was crazy or had some ill reason for wanting to destroy the humans, but something deep down told him she was not from this generation. He felt from the Divine Dragoon Spirit that it knew her well and seemed to be happy to see her.
"Well" Bellana began as she started pacing "I am the sorceress that created the Divine Dragoon"
"WHAT???" Simultaneously all the Dragoons reacted in shock
"Yes" She replied angrily "I am the one who brought life to the Divine Dragon, however, it was the Dragoons of old who wanted me to create the beast. When they found it was too powerful, they sealed it away with the help of the Winglies, then they sealed me away too fearing that my power was too great. When the Divine Dragon was set free, so was I, and I began to plot my revenge. Now, all I need is the Spirit of the Divine Dragon itself and I will have all I need to exact my revenge. So." he turned and stared at Dart coldly "give me the Spirit"
"Never!" said Dart sternly "we are the Dragoons! Our job is to protect Endiness, not hand the future of it over to you. We destroyed your creation, and we'll destroy you if necessary!"
"Very well then." Said Bellana
Suddenly Bellana jumped into the air blade raised, and came down swinging with all the momentum. Dart was quick to realize this and drew his blade. The two warriors clashed in colossal fury, constantly striking and evading, parrying and dodging.
Dart went in for a risky stab, counting on Bellana to be inexperienced with the sword. He was wrong however, Bellana easily dodged the strike raising her blade into the air. She brought it down with the intent of cutting him in half, but Dart was also experienced with the sword, he swung his body around to block the attack. A combination of his lack of grounding and the power of her swing sent Dart into the ground holding off her blade, but barely. Dart pushed her off and she jumped back a couple of feet and Dart reached his feet.
She lowered her blade and smirked. Dart gave a puzzled look, as far as he could tell the fight could go anyway, and he still hadn't called on the Dragoon Spirit.
Bellana brought her right hand up to her throat and drug it across her neck. She then held out her hand and let out a devilish giggle. Her hand suddenly began to grow purple, and then a lightning bolt struck Dart as quickly as her hand began to glow. Dart found himself paralyzed, and very much afraid.
His companions however figured it had been a regular lightning bolt and Dart had endured the shock. They kept on cheering not knowing the trouble Dart was really in.
Bellana slowly walked behind Dart and turned her back to him. She backed up close enough so he could hear her whsper.
"This all works out fine for me anyway. After all, the only way to make sure that the Dragon will not respond to the Dragoon that controlled before." She whispered like iron. Dart's eyes grew wide, he knew now his life was in true danger but he could not move his mouth to shout to his friends. ".is to kill the previous Dragoon."
With one easy flip of the wrist, Bellana's sword broke off into about twelve stout parts of the blade all held together by a steel chain making it into a sort of bladed whip. Bellana jumped and spun into the air and swung the whip making it wrap around Dart's throat multiple times. The still paralyzed Dart by now could only be sorry he had been so careless, his thoughts then went to Shana and how much he cared for her. Bellana then whip lashed the sword and the once brave and noble Dragoon fell to the ground bleeding from all sides of his neck. He lay there drowning in his own blood when Bellana picked up the Divine Spirit. The Spirit began to glow in her hand a bright light surrounded her body. The power of her creation surged through her body and she felt even stronger than ever. When the light faded she was there hovering on 7 silver wings. Her armor was not as thick as thick as Dart's, but it was good enough. In her right hand materialized a blade similar to the one she carried before, only it had crimson lining all up and down the blade and the hilt curled down and connected to the bottom of it making it hard to lose it in a fight.
All of the other Dragoons were in shock. The death of their beloved leader and friend was so much to bear, but it the worst for Shana. Immediately she transformed and charged in blind rage, the death of her loved one was simply too much for her. The other Dragoons knew that Shana had no chance alone especially now that Bellana had acquired the Divine Dragoon Spirit, they're only choice now was to follow and hope their combined might, would be enough. One by one the Technicolor light show began and from each pool of radiance emerged a Dragoon already flying after Shana.
Bellana saw the Dragoons come, but all she could do was laugh.
"Pitiful worms" She said to herself. She raised the cannon on her left arm and the swirl of energy gathered at the barrel of the cannon. At that point the Dragoons looked death right in the face.and that face was the last thing they saw.
(Ok, I know what you were thinking.yes this really is only a prologue. Other writers might just say that the Dragoons all died at the hands of Bellana, but this is more fun. I don't think that my other chapters will be this long, but I just started so I don't know.

Dart's eyes grew wide, he knew now his life was in true danger but he could not move his mouth to shout to his friends. ".is to kill the previous Dragoon."
With one easy flip of the wrist, Bellana's sword broke off into about twelve stout parts of the blade all held together by a steel chain making it into a sort of bladed whip. Bellana jumped and spun into the air and swung the whip making it wrap around Dart's throat multiple times. The still paralyzed Dart by now could only be sorry he had been so careless, his thoughts then went to Shana and how much he cared for her. Bellana then whip lashed the sword and the once brave and noble Dragoon fell to the ground bleeding from all sides of his neck. He lay there drowning in his own blood when Bellana picked up the Divine Spirit. The Spirit began to glow in her hand a bright light surrounded her body. The power of her creation surged through her body and she felt even stronger than ever. When the light faded she was there hovering on 7 silver wings. Her armor was not as thick as thick as Dart's, but it was good enough. In her right hand materialized a blade similar to the one she carried before, only it had crimson lining all up and down the blade and the hilt curled down and connected to the bottom of it making it hard to lose it in a fight.
All of the other Dragoons were in shock. The death of their beloved leader and friend was so much to bear, but it the worst for Shana. Immediately she transformed and charged in blind rage, the death of her loved one was simply too much for her. The other Dragoons knew that Shana had no chance alone especially now that Bellana had acquired the Divine Dragoon Spirit, they're only choice now was to follow and hope their combined might, would be enough. One by one the Technicolor light show began and from each pool of radiance emerged a Dragoon already flying after Shana.
Bellana saw the Dragoons come, but all she could do was laugh.
"Pitiful worms" She said to herself. She raised the cannon on her left arm and the swirl of energy gathered at the barrel of the cannon. At that point the Dragoons looked death right in the face.and that face was the last thing they saw.
(Ok, I know what you were thinking.yes this really is only a prologue. Other writers might just say that the Dragoons all died at the hands of Bellana, but this is more fun. I don't think that my other chapters will be this long, but I just started so I don't know.
