A/N: Dart's dead.... I'm So SORRRY!!!! Really, but he is literally in a
better place now! Anyway it had to happen because of the story line,
besides now Zieg can be leader and we can chose a new DD. We could pick
Lloyd, Deven, Zieg (and have someone else become the FD) or we could have
Dilrivan pick it up and I could rewrite some of the plot.... *smile* Well,
I'm leaving it up to you for now!
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.

A Blackened Art of Necromancy
Zieg and the other dragoons gathered around the 3D map. On which they could see most of Shana's forces. The Virages covered Gloriano, the demon army from Mayfil was converging on the Barrens and Shana was in the deserted Ulara.
"We need to protect Tiberona," Albert said thinking fondly of Emille.
"Indeed, It's the only land untouched," Zieg agreed.
"Lohan and my forest are fine to!!" Meru shouted.
"So is Rogue!" Haschel boasted.
"Alright," Dart said pausing, "Then we need to set up defenses in all of those places."
"Each to their element?" Rose asked.
Zieg looked at the table recalling how Diaz had for the first part of the war sent each of them to be in a land like their element. Zieg had been located in Volcano Villude, and Damia in Ilisa Bay. Rose had followed Mayfil around.... Each to their own element. "Yes, that would work well."
"What do you mean??" Nesha asked figuring that it was a secret code or something.
"Meru would go to Ilisa bay or the Aquatic Coral Reef for example. Her element being water, so she would go to water." Rose explained easly.
"What about me?" Dart asked for he couldn't go to heaven.
Zieg shrugged, "Where ever your needed I suppose..."
"Alright."
"So how bout some directions..." Miranda mumbled.
"I'll think about it for a wile." Zieg hissed back. Couldn't they see Dart was their leader? No, he doesn't want to deal with it so they pick you. What a horrible father you are!
"Da Barrier is eady!" A Minito said entering the room.
"Took them long enough!" Miranda bitched away.
Guaraha shook his head and sighed. Dart lead away to the barrier and Zieg gave Rose a shrug.
They followed the little creature to a teleporter which took them a few minutes away. Into a large white cathedral styled room, with a long line of windows that held pained glass depicting what Endiness looked like. It made home seem like a gray and blown version of hell.
"You people really don't like Endiness do you?" Nesha said to Dilrivan who only starred back.
Meridao lifted a sheet off a table that Meru had been staring intently at. Beneath it was some of the most beautiful weapons that the lot of them had ever seen. "They are akin to the Dragon Buster only they have been given elements and have been made to absorb Divine energy. We had made one for each of you," she gave Deven a nod, "and we hope they will help you."
The dragoons move towards the table in amazement, they all knew what sort of power the Dragon Buster had. Any weapon akin to it must be powerful. Dart looked down and saw the faint glow reflect off the table. His own new weapon was in the middle, it was made just like his old one. Only the blade was made of holy flame. This will serve Shana well he thought. Very well.
Nesha's own strange backward sword had been replicated wonderfully. Meru's hammer even had the same Wingly symbols decorating it. Haschel's gloves sparked with little lighting bolt and Rose's rapier drained light from around it like a black hole. Miranda was now in possession of a bow that shimmered sliver and created a magical arrow when she pulled it back.
Zieg reached down and picked up the fire shrouded sword a touched the flames, the licked his fingers but didn't harm him. He smiled as the flames cascaded much like the ones on the Dragon Buster, then shook his head and looked up.
"We hope they will serve you well, the portal will open up in Deningrad. The Virage have mostly cleared out, from there we will let you do what is needed." Dilrivan spoke and nodded to Dart who nodded back. He ran his hand through some sort of device behind him and the portal became a vortex of green and lavender.
Dart took the first steps through it. His body vanished as it touched the light. One by one they followed him through. It took but a moment to reach the other side...

Wink screamed as the golden figure burned the down the glorious wooden mansion. Next to her Setie cried and Luanna fell limply on the grown. The last survivors of Bale and Ulara had been burned in a red and white flame.
Shana turned back on the weeping girls and smiled. "Come on dears, I wish to speak to Soa." The world spun and Wink cried. Setie had been foreseen as the queen, and she was destined to have a connection with the god. "N-no.."
Shana laughed and shook her head. "Come on dears, which one will let me speak with the holiness??"
"Wink," Setie cried out in fear.
She paled, "S-setie??" No she said braking free of her sisters and running. She ran for her life, into the forest that was less than ten feet away. She could hear her sisters screams and Shana's too. Then everything went quite in a deathly silence.
She tripped and fell...
"Wink?" A voice asked from a little way in front of her.
Twisting around she saw a pair of black boots and black leather pants. Then another scream, and her body being yanked up by someone's hand, struggled to get away. Screaming in rage and fear as a white fire began to lash out at her.
Then in one blissful moment the heat disappeared and she found herself covered in a cooling green light. Her eyes watched the haze and she sunk into the body of who ever had grabbed her. The green world dimmed and she pushed herself away from reality, into the darkness.

Lloyd felt Winks body fall into his just before they reentered the universe. Carefully he rapped his arms under her legs and pulled her up off the ground before she could fall. It was a pity that she was human he though. Turning he faced the Black horse and lifted her up onto it's back.
"Real pity," he mumbled and jumped up behind the unconscious blond.
A/N: Arg! I wanted to make this chapter longer, but I just couldn't find away way to do so with out making it over 4000 words. So I split the original up into two parts.... The other should be up by the end of the week or so.
Meru: I don't get it...
Sors: Wha?
Meru: Why is it that Shana need to talk with Soa?
Sors: Er.... I haven't decided!.... Yeah! -.o
