Chapter 6: The Damsel who saves you from Distress
The Pyros threw their Burning Spears into the dark forest and the warriors charged in. The loud cries of burning bugs echoed throughout the wilderness. The blood curdling screams of the warriors could be heard also. The Pyros began to poor into the burning portion of the forest. Darkfire Soldiers, Mr. Volcanoes, and Flame Swordsmen all followed Tsuchi, who was jumping from tree to tree and unleashing punch after punch after punch in the form of infernos.
"You ready?" Picard asked Keja as he drew his two swords.
"Ready enough." Keja answered. "Lets light this place up a bit."
"What do you mean?" Picard asked.
Keja raised his staff and shouted into the forest. "Light of Intervention!" In almost an instant the entire forest was illuminated.
"Very good Keja." Apollo said as he rode up on his horse. "But it's going to take more than just magic tricks to win this battle. Meet me and Hino in the center of the forest, you'll see a large tree. It's impossible to miss, best of luck to you both. Forward!" Apollo's horse shot off into the forest and was followed by Picard and Keja.
"You know what to do." Picard said.
"Way ahead of you." Keja said as a pink ball of energy illuminated from his hands. "DNA Surgery, form of Dragons!"
The ball shot off and shattered into several hundred pieces each one hitting a nearby insect. A great deal of bugs were infected by the attack and as result, all sprouted dragon wings.
"Here." Keja said as he encased Picard in a Nightmare Steel Cage. "That will shatter in two minutes. It should be enough to get fully charged."
"Thanks man. See you later." Picard said as a green aura rapidly flowed into his sword.
"Later." Keja said as he darted off deeper into the forest, which continued to erupt in chaos.
"So Roas. You wanna go have some fun in the forest?" Dominus asked.
"Sure. I'm getting bored around here anyways." A Chaos Soldier said from the corner.
"Well Messenger of Creation, let have some fun." Dominus said.
"Yes sir." Roas said as he picked up his weapons and followed Dominus out the door.
The Steel Cage shattered and Picard was set free. His normal sword was flashing rapidly a bright green, his Sword of Dragons Soul tightly grasped in his left hand. He looked around the trees for the insects with dragon wings. A bunch of them had gathered to eat away the remains of dead Pyros and Warriors. One by one Picard destroyed them all, until one bug was left standing in the bunch, A Flying Kamakiri #2. The Kamakiri tried to skitter away, but Picard got in its way.
"End of the line." Picard said as his sword came crashing into the bugs face.
"You ok kid?" Apollo said as he ran through the forest with Keja and Hino.
"Yeah. Where's your horse." Keja asked.
"I told him to go back home. I don't what my best horse getting torn up by the claws of a pathetic little bug." Apollo answered. "Besides, I have this."
"Isn't that a, Flute of Summoning Dragon?" Keja asked. "What are you doing with that?"
"I used to be a Lord of Dragons kid. I know how to work one of these things." Apollo said.
"I hope you do." Keja said. "You don't want the wrong Dragon answering your call."
"Don't worry about it. I only use a specific frequency that calls the Curse of Dragon." Apollo said. "The only one in existence."
"There's only one Curse of Dragon in existence?" Keja asked.
"Yes. You've seen it before. You just don't remember." Apollo answered.
"Really?" Keja asked.
"Yeah." Apollo continued. "You shot at it when you weren't even a day old. Your dad and I had a good laugh about that one."
"Huh, sorry." Keja muttered.
"No need for apology kid. That dragon doesn't even remember." Apollo said. "We're coming up on Trunk Castle. It should be just over that hill."
"Alright." Keja said. "See you there."
The three split up different ways and continued to slash through bugs. Picard quickly followed. After about twenty more minutes of intense battle on both sides, the Keja finally came to the base of Trunk Castle. The massive tree stood right in the center of the forest and had branches sprouting out in every direction.
"Did you find the place alright?" Apollo asked as he and Hino ran up to the castle with several Pyros and Warriors.
"Yeah. How could you miss it?" Keja answered.
"Well seems the majority of us are intact. And the forest is in flames." Apollo said.
Just then a large being zinged past the group with amazing speed, it was barely visible.
"What was that?" Hino asked.
"It was probably Picard." Keja said. "He's a real speed demon when he gets that power boost."
"That was no Buster Blader." Apollo said quietly as a loud stomping noise came from the trees.
"I can't believe I fell behind." General Megacyber said as he ran toward Trunk Castle. "I wonder how King Apollo is."
Just then he was stopped in his tracks by a black orb that appeared out of nowhere. The orb hovered for a moment and then got bigger. The orb got to the size of a door. Someone emerged.
"Y-Y-You." General Megacyber stuttered.
"That's right. Me." Dominus said as he placed his hand on General Megacyber's forehead.
"What are you doing?" General Megacyber asked in a horrified voice.
"Just giving you a sudden Change of Heart, that's all." Dominus said with a smile.
The Stomping continued to echo through the forest and get closer and closer to the Castle. The stomping subsided for a minute and Picard came running up from the opposite direction. In an instant a massive Great Moth erupted from the trees, leaving shocked expressions on everybody but Picard's faces, who was too busy catching his breath.
"Hey guys, what I.miss?" Picard stuttered as he started at the colorful creature.
"Kill it!" Apollo said as the Moth let out a loud roar and came toward the group.
"I'll charge up a DNA Surgery." Keja said.
"Don't bother." Picard said. I still have some power left and I don't need my Sword of Dragon's Soul for this."
"Destruction Punch!" Hino yelled as he threw a burning red punch at the Moth.
The Moth simply roared and blew the blast away with its wings. Several Warriors and Pyros tried to take the Moth out by the legs but were all swatted away by the monsters wings.
"Nightmare Steel Cage!" Keja said as he encased the Moth in a steel dome.
The Moth again let out a loud roar, afterward he pointed his face to the sky and shot the cage off with a Mystical Space Typhoon.
"How does a mere creature know magic spells?" Hino asked.
"Your not on Molten Destruction anymore Hino." Apollo said.
"Here it comes!" Picard yelled as the Moth began to fly towards them.
"Wait a minute. Whats that!?" Keja yelled. Knives were raining on the Moth like rain, piercing almost every inch of its hard skin. "I've seen this before. But where?" He looked up to see the knives coming from a figure in the sky. The figure then crashed down on the Moth and slammed a short staff on the bug's head.
The figure landed on the ground and sighed. "Men. They always want to do things the hard way."
"Who's that?" Picard asked.
"Its, a Dark Magician Girl." Keja said.
The Pyros threw their Burning Spears into the dark forest and the warriors charged in. The loud cries of burning bugs echoed throughout the wilderness.
