Disclaimer: Dragon Knights doesn't belong to me so no suing!
Authors Notes: Its been a while since I've been able to work on this story, I'm sorry for not doing it sooner. I still have final exams to study for but I will try my best to make this chapter to the best I can. Also I don't know how long I want to make this story so for now I'll keep it to a bare minimum of seven.
Key of Remembrance
The youkai alchemist laughs playfully as he watches the Fire Dragon Knight torch the Dragon Castle from the inside out, sipping a cup of tea while Garfakcy is out elsewhere on duties. "My, my...this is quite entertaining." Kharl says to himself amidst a smile of amusement.

"Ruwalk! Send for more help, we can't stop him!" The Yellow Dragon Officer nods his head and heads off and away from the battle, hurrying for any stragglers left in the castle halls. He races past a few fighters on his way, asking them, "are there any officers still left?" One fighter stops and addresses Ruwalk, "not that I know of sir, the only other one would be Officer Kai-Stern and I'm not sure he's back yet." Suddenly Ruwalk berates himself mentally, "I should have remembered! Kai-Stern's back." The Yellow Dragon Officer turns the other way and rushes straight for the Secretary of Foreign Affair's quarters.
Ruwalk skids to a halt before knocking harshly on the oak doors that leads to Kai-Stern's room. A few moments later the white haired officer himself steps out, dazed and still rubbing the eye crusties out of his eyes. "Hmm?...What's the matter Ruwalk?" The Yellow Dragon Officer explodes in Kai-Stern's face, "Rath is destroying the castle, you're the only one that might be able to stop him!" The sleepy look on the white haired officer's face disappears as he steps out of his room and closes the door. "What about Thatz and Rune?"
"I don't know where they are either," Ruwalk concedes regretfully. "I've checked both their rooms and their usual hangings, nothing."
"Then lets go, you find the knights and I'll try and talk some sense into Rath."
"Right!"
Both officers disembark, one heading straight for the chaos while the other down the hall.

Kai-Stern arrives just as a group of dragon fighters are thrown to the ground in a heap of armor and weapons. He turns around to see the Fire Dragon Knight laughing maniacally, walking slowly up to the officer. "Rath!" The knight cocks his head to the side and stares at Kai-Stern, "well...Kai-Stern. Who would have thought you'd be here, I'm so surprised." With that, Rath laughs, returning his head to its normal up right position. "Rath stop this now."
"Oh? Why should I? This is too much fun." The knight takes his sword and twirls it once in his right hand, smirking at the officer in front of him. With out hesitation, he lunges forward and attacks the officer, causing Kai-Stern to immediately summon his sword as well. Steel meets steel with a sharp clank and sparks as both fighters block each others attacks skillfully. "Your being foolish Rath, stop this now!" The knight just smirks, jumping back and then rushing forward again with an onslaught of swings and stabs. The white haired officer falls, dropping his sword as he clutches his shoulder. Rath stops the attack and lowers his sword, walking up to the fallen officer and aiming his blade at Kai-Stern's throat. "Looks like I've won..."
"Rath no!"
The Dragon Knight of Fire swivels his head to the direction of the noise to see Thatz and Rune running towards him, Ruwalk following closely behind. "Don't do it Rath!" The three stop in front of him, panting as if they had just ran a mile. Rune steps forward and says with a sad look in his blue eyes, "why are you doing this Rath? Have you completely forgotten who your enemy is?" The Fire Dragon Knight slowly shakes his head before saying, "no...no I haven't Rune."
"B-but Ra-"
"Shut up...you're the one who doesn't know who your enemy is." With that, Rath turns his head back to the injured Kai-Stern, his sword still raised to the officer's throat. "I will kill every last dragon that stands, there will be none left."
"Don't you dare!" Thatz jumps and slams into Rath, knocking them both down and causing the Fire Dragon Knight to drop his sword. "Let go of me damn it!" Rath struggles to free himself but Rune and Ruwalk have also detained the Fire Dragon Knight from moving. "Your out of control Rath! You don't know what your doing."
"On the contrary Thatz, I know exactly what I'm doing..." After much struggling, Rath bites down on Thatz's arm holding him, freeing his arm and punching Ruwalk in the face. He pushes them off of him and stands, grabbing for his sword. The Fire Dragon Knight swings at the three, trying to take off their heads in one swipe. No luck, so he goes for it again. In an instant, there's a sickening noise heard and Rath falls to the ground, total shock set in his face. Kai-Stern stands up, holding his sword that is now stained with dark red blood. "No....." Thatz stammers as he kneels by his fellow knight's hunched form, the reality of the situation sinking in just like the blade from Kai-Stern's sword sinking into the Fire Dragon Knight's. The white haired officer speaks painfully, his head hanging low, "I'm sorry...there was no other choice. He would have killed us all, including the Dragon Lord."
"B-but...its...its R-Rath..."
Oooh hoo hoo! How'd you like this chapter? I wanted to go out in a cliff hanger but I guess I got carried away and hurt my poor
Rath baby. Waaaaaaaa T_T Well you'll just have to see to find out what
happens to the hunky knight now wont you? Meh heh heh heh heheh!!!!
