Chapter 1: A New Threat
Back at the spot where the Divine Tree had been, two birds sit perched on a tree branch. One has an indigo color on it's back. The other, red. Suddenly, a great red mist swirls down from the sky. It lands in the water, which is in the center of the area. The water starts to bubble. The two birds appear startled. Then, out of the water comes a woman. She is very beautiful in appearance. She appears to be Asian with long and straight raven colored hair, and blue eyes. She is not short but not extremely tall either. She hovers around above the water as if searching for a presence. The two birds fly down off the branch and land on two dragoon stones. One is indigo; it possesses the powers of darkness. The other is red and it has the power of fire.
They hide behind the tree in order to avoid being seen by the strange woman. The beautiful woman looks around to see if anyone is watching. She sees no one. Then she takes out of her pocket, a strange seal. She opens it and inside there is a triangular shaped crystal. She holds it up to the sky and it starts to glow. Her hair blows rapidly in a strange, abnormal wind that appeared out of nowhere. " Unleash the power!" she cries as a white beam of light shoots up into the sky. The sky turns red for about five seconds, and then there is a huge flash of red light. Afterwards, everything is back to normal. The woman carefully puts the crystal back into the seal and puts it back into her pocket. Another red mist appears and she cannot be seen. The red mist goes up into the sky and flies away. The two birds start to glow. Then slowly, they transform into humans. As they finish transforming, we see that it is Rose and Zieg! They pick up the stones and they glow. "It looks like the world needs us again." Says Rose.
Elsewhere, Shana is preparing dinner for her fiancé, Dart. Then, there is an unexpected visitor at the front entrance. The woman pulls the string near the door and it triggers bells. Shana hears them and goes to see who it could be. "Miranda !" "Hi Shana. How are you?" "I'm fine thanks. Come in." She shows Miranda to the kitchen. "Would you like something to eat?" asks Shana. "No thank you, I'm good. Listen, is Dart around?" "He went to the fields to practice his swordsmanship. Why do you ask? Is everything okay?" "Well actually. . . . ."
We see Dart training and performing numerous attacks. He is wearing his Divine Dragoon stone around his neck on a necklace. He is just about ready to head on home to Shana when all of a sudden he sees a twist in the clouds. They swirl around a bit and then he sees a white beam of light fly up into the sky right into the center of the swirling. There is a red flash of light and the beam disappears. Then he sees the red mist shoot up into the sky and fly away. "What the heck was that?" he asks himself. Confused, he just heads home to Shana. When he gets home, he goes inside. Shana is standing against the stone counter of the kitchen as he walks in. "Hey baby." He kisses her head. "You will not believe what I just saw." "Dart. . ." Shana interrupts, "We have a visitor."
He looks over at the table and sees Miranda sitting down. "Miranda! You traveled this far just to come and visit us?" "If only I were actually here to visit." She replied. " Listen, we've got to talk." "Is there any trouble?" asks Dart. "Yes." Says Shana. Miranda begins to tell him what she had told Shana. "You remember Luana, one of the Sacred Sisters of Mille Seseau. Well today she had a dream. It was a dream about the end of the world. She saw a woman coming here to Earth. There was a torrent of red mist. And then she saw something terrible. A being so powerful that it destroyed the world. It is our duty as dragoons to protect this place from danger. I'm very sorry to pull you out of your life again, but will you join me and the others in order to stop what's coming?"
He is silent for a moment, then, he answers her. "Sure, but only me. I don't want Shana becoming mixed up in this." " Dart! I can help! Even though I am no longer a dragoon, I can still fight with you! And I still retain some of my Moon Child capabilities." "What can you do?" asks Miranda. "Well just the other day. . . . " We see a flashback of what happened. Shana is picking medical herbs in the forest. A wolf tries to attack her. She let's out a scream and a big blue flash blows the wolf away. Shana looks at herself wondering how she can still use her moon child powers. "And that's how it happened." She says. Dart refuses to let Shana go. He tells her that she can wait at home just in case they need treatment. She is unhappy but is willing to do whatever Dart tells her to do.
"So what was it that you saw Dart?" asks Miranda. "Just what you described. A red mist." "Oh God it has already begun." She says. "We have to leave right away." "Won't you stay the night Miranda? It is already dark outside." Asks Shana. "Well okay, but we have to leave early tomorrow morning."
