Look at this, my first review from someone mentally challenged. Too bad 'demongod86' has no brains, otherwise he would notice it is chapter one. If you knew anything about writing, you don't give away too much of the past straight up unless is is an AU. Sure this may be an AU, but I think the past is able to be figured out. Perhaps you should think before you attempt to make 'funny' comments. Airhead.
Demongod86
New Hellena? New evil guards? Didn't anyone know that winglies are good? KING ARTHUR?! WHat next, Dragoons of the round table?! And let me guess, Emille had an affair and King Arthur will have an incest problem too... and will get killed by his son. Okay, enough of that. Not too much else to say, no character development, no description, very vague, etc etc etc.


Ahem...Now back to the story...




Legend of Dragoon: The Pheonix Campaign

Chapter 2: War



Rose leapt to the attack, the Dragon Buster cutting the air as it made efficient contact with one of the guards. He collapsed and she stepped back triumphantly, he sword by her side, "Demon's Dance..."

Taking that as his cue, Arthur leapt forward his javelin never letting him down. He swung it, letting it fly through the air, contact made where contact was most lethal making the other guard drop joining his friend. "Gust of Wind Dance!"

"The Guards have fallen as will you." Rose growled before leaping for the figure before them.

Even with her speed and extensive knowledge of battle, the figure managed to step out of her way and catch her leg with the whip helping her get to know the floor in a more personal way. Her arm filled with pain as she landed heavily on it. She frowned and began searching her pockets for the healing potion. Maru flew down and swung her hammer ferociously hitting the figure on the shoulder, making them stumble before Arthur drove his javelin towards the shrouded figure's heart. The whip came screeching for Arthur, catching his arm, tugging the javelin from his grip. It clattered to the floor, Arthur clammering after it. Maru continued her random assault from above, while the newly recovered Rose and Arthur continued their ground assault. There was an almight growl, Arthur, Rose and Maru were thrown back into the dirt.

"You can't send me to hell...But I can send you there!" The figure tossed a spark net onto Maru.

Arthur jumped up in rage. "Never touch Maru!" He ran forward at such a speed Rose was surprised. He slammed his javelin into the figure's temple, then let it hit home. THe figure stumbled before falling backwards, momentarily dazed if not unconscious. Arthur stared at what he did, Rose coming to congratulate him. "We won!" He spun his javelin in victory, Rose dodged the first only to receive the second blow. She fell dazed to the floor.

"Hey Rose! Maru we won!" He turned to find Rose on the floor, Maru still trapped by the spark net. He rushed over to Maru and pulled her free of the net, lifting him onto his shoulder, grabbing the giant hammer and going over to Rose. He shook her. "Rose? Rose get up..."

He looked around guiltily then hurried out, Maru limply hanging over his shoulder.




Arthur sat by the bed the nurse had put Maru in. The nurse was still busying herself around Maru who had a few cuts and a fair bit of dirt, but otherwise alright. The nurse finally left, Arthur leant back in the chair and sighed.

"Man...She might be the best nurse in Serdio but she's such a pain..." He leant forward again and looked at Maru. "What would I do without you?"

"You'd probably never have been in Hellena..."

He jumped off the chair, "Maru! You're awake!" He took a step to approach her bed and give her a hug but hugged the floor instead.

"I think it's catching..."

He got back up and grinned, giving his friend a hug. "Your majesty..." A guard entered. Maru saw the face Arthur pulled as the guard spoke further, "Sir, the commander of the 6th battlment sir..."

"Very well then. I'll be there shortly..." The guard left and Arthur stood. "Don't move. I'll be right back."

"Trust me, I won't be moving anywhere for a while..."

"Good. There's a few things I think you should see...And I have to talk to you, it's rather important." He stood and left leaving Maru to muse about what Arthur could possibly want to show her.

Arthur entered the throne room and sat on his chair. He indicated for the guard to allow the commander to enter.

"Your majesty Arthur. THe 6th battlement is under attack. We need more forces." The commander bowed deeply.

"Your battalion should be able to handle a few restless thieves."

"We were attacked by Tiberoa sir."

"Tiberoa? Why are they attacking us? My cousin...Why is she attacking us commander?"

"I am not sure sir, but they have a pheonix on their side along with the Pheonix Knights."

"Take however many soldiers you need! Do not let them attack the winglies! All those injured, bring them back to Bale." Arthur nodded, his usually cheerful face replaced with a frown. "Why do the Pheonix Knights still believe Winglies to be such a threat after a millenia? Dart's quest proved them otherwise...The histories were re-written and even Rose can say Winglies are no longer a threat. Melbu Framha was defeated once more and ... How could this happen?" Arthur slumped further into his chair.



At the border of Tiberoa and Serdio, battle continued to rage. Screams and cries were able to be heard from the village. A lone wingly warrior watched from what he thought was the safety of a shrub. The pheonix knights used their newly discovered powers to transform into Pheonizes. The Pheoniz was like the Dragoon, humans learned to harness the powers of the Pheonix as the Dragoons from the Dragons. Each were equal on a battle field, however, the Pheonizes were ruthless and only thought to destroy. The Dragoons had been lost many years ago, except for one...

"A wingly!" One of the Pheonix Knights spotted him hiding.

"Uh oh..." He began running away when a Pheonix swooped, talons out prepared to rake off his head.

He felt himself being covered, rolling down a hill. When he came to a stop, he saw a female warrior. Her pale face and dark eyes showed something dark and intelligent.

"Who-"

"Ssh! Do you want to be killed wingly?" He shut his mouth, watched the Pheonix fly overhead then go back to the army. The woman stood. "Now I do not claim to know what stupidity brought you here, but you must go to Serdio. King Arthur is expecting you."

She began to walk away. "Wait. Who are you?"

She paused. "Rose." She runs into the distance, he tried to follow her, only to find her gone once he reached the field. "Rose? Serdio..." He shrugs and begins for Bale.




Arthur walked back into Maru's room to find her asleep. He smiled and turned to leave.

"Arthur...Don't leave me again..."

He turned only to find her muttering in her sleep. He approached her side and sat in the chair once more. She tossed and turned, sweat beading on her forehead.

"They're gong to - Arthur no! Don't! Please! Arthur!"

A worried frown touched his face once more as he leant towards her. "What are you dreaming about that has you so scared?" He took her hand gently. "I promise you I won't leave you. The Pheonix Knights will never get you as long as I am alive..."

Maru seemed to have calmed down. Her face seemed so peaceful...He brushed away one of her bangs and cocked his head to study her. For a wingly, she was attractive, most of the wingly females he had met tended to be...Unattractive. She sat bolt upright suddenly.

"ARTHUR!"

"Maru what's wrong?"

She turned to face him suddenly out of her dream. Her cheeks touched pipnk. "Just a bad dream..."

"I suppose I had a part in your bad dream. I hope I wasn't the cause of it."

"You were in it, so was Rose and this other woman...She had blonde hair and stood so serenely on a rock. And you left me behind as though you couldn't wait to get rid of me..."

"Don't worry. I'll never leave you. That I swear." Maru smiled and swung her legs to the edge of the bed. "When are you going to go visit your family?"

"I went already. I came back two days ago after they took you away to Hellena."

"And you came to help me...Risking your own life. What did they want from you anyway?"

She shrugged, "I have no idea. BUt if I hadn't gotten you out, your guards wouldn't have made it in and out either..."

There's a knock at the door and the guard walks in once more. "Sir, there's a...Platinum haired man who says you're expecting hi- hey! Quite shoving that thing there!"

Arthur and Maru look at the guard, their faces mirroring the others. "Oh get out of my way!" A man from behind the guard pushes him aside.

"YOU!" Maru's eyes widened and she grabbed her hammer from the side of her bed. "I ought to kill you right now!"

ARthur put his hand on Maru's arm and pulled her back. "You know this wingly?"

"Yeah... He's the panty peeker I told you about!" She surged forward but Arthur held her back. "I'm going to kill him!"

"You...Live here?"

"More or less! Now get the hell out before Arthur lets go and I squash you like the bug you are!"

"Now that's no way to treat a guest..."

Maru's face held a scowl. "A guest? What kind of guest could you possibly be?"

"I was told I was expected."

"Expected?" Maru dropped her weapon and stopped struggling against Arthur's grip. She turned to face him. "Expected?"

"Tiberoa's declared war against us. I sent the commander back to tell the winglies to come here for protection." Arthur explained.

"What the hell were you doing on the border of Tiberoa and Serdio anyway? Too bad you weren't killed then we'd have one less pervert on Endiness." Maru laced her hammer back onto her back and pulled on her boots.

"I was going to the port in Fletz."

"What you're a perverted sailor now?" Maru refused to look at him, now pulling on her fighting gloves.

"Well perhaps in Mille Seseau I'd find a wingly that isn't as illtempered as you."

Arthur sighed and sat back on the chair watching the two throwing insults back and forth at each other like a tennis match.

"You're permitted to go. Infact, the sooner you go to Mille Seseau the sooner I don't have to worry about you peeking at my panties!"

"I'm a healthy young wingly, I know what I want."

Arthur saw Maru's face turn deep red. He pushed the chair back and watched as she unlaced her hammer once more and brought it crashing down onto the wingly behind her. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY?!"

"I know what I want." He replied rubbing his bruised forehead.

She began getting into him with the hammer only to find that he kept rolling around the floor dodging her attacks. "I'LL KILL YOU! STAY STILL DAMN YOU!"

"When there's something I want I always get it!" He jumped up and grabbed her hammer, the loss of momentum didn't affect Maru as she continued towards the defiant Wingly. He put his arm around her waist and pressed his lips against hers fiercely.

Arthur stood, javelin in hand. Maru stomped hard on his foot, her boots causing the damage she had hoped for. She brought her hammer around once more sending him flying through the window. "AND STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!"

Arthur put his arm around her shoulders. "You know, I for one am glad I'm on your good side."

"Arthur, you couldn't get on my bad side even if you tried...Unlike him. What a perverted wingly."
