"No way, you're telling me that all of the new Dragoons are right here!" said David, "That can't possibly be possible! All of the Dragoons are here together right in this one spot, at this exact moment."
"That's exactly what I'm telling you, David. Somehow, someway, call it God or fate, the third generation of Dragon Knights has assembled in this one place. Allow to me go around and introduce everybody to you. The girl with the long brown hair and green eyes is my cousin Jacqueline West, Future Dragoon of the White-Silver Dragon, This lovely young lady with blue eyes and dark blonde hair is Jennifer Allen , The soon to be Dragoon of the Blue Sea Dragon, Nick Barton, the guy with the tanned skin and black hair, will be Dragoon of the Violet Dragon, The guy with the mustache is Bud Johnson, He will eventually hold the Dragoon Spirit of the Golden Dragon, and finally the Asian girl wearing the glasses and expensive business suit is Azrael, She will become the Dragoon of the Black-Burst Dragon, once we find all the spirits that is," said Chris.
"Excuse me for asking Chris, but what exactly are Dragoons?" asked Jen, "Because I'm really confused about this whole thing."
"Yeah, I would like to know about this too because it sounds like there is a lot involved" said Nick.
"Okay Nick, you want to know I'll tell you, Bud you might know this story because you unknowingly introduced me to it.
Apparently sometime ago a race of beings known as Winglies ruled over our world. On first glance all Winglies appear to be just albino humans, but they are much more than that. They can fly on wings of light and have extremely powerful magic. They enslaved humanity and treated them like crap," said Chris.
"Hold on I know where this is going next," said Bud, "I should know because I played the game with you as well. A guy named Emperor Diaz inspired humanity to take up arms against the Winglies and fight for their freedom."
"Exactly, that is just what happened. However, there was a big problem. Humans can be as brave and courageous as they want to be, but we were at a severe disadvantage. Humans can't use magic. A single human could not beat a Wingly in one on one combat to save their life. Humans needed another source of power to fight against their overlords and it came in the form of the Dragons," said Chris, "When a Dragon died it would leave a small gem behind containing their soul and power, when the Dragon's spirit found someone they deemed worthy, they would let that person use its power to become a Dragon Knight or Dragoon, capable of incredibly powerful magic, the ability to fly, and armor that as strong as a Dragon's hide.
With Diaz's leadership, the power of the Dragons backing them up, and the Dragoons at the vanguard of their army, Humans took up arms against their Wingly overlords and a full fledged war began. It would become known as the Dragon Campaign for the beasts that were the crucial factor in humanity's victory over the Winglies. It lasted 10 years, a whole decade! In that time, millions of lives, on both sides, were lost. It made World War I and II look like nothing! The Dragon Campaign ended with the Battle of Kadessa, which was the capital of the Winglies. Five of the seven original Dragoons, Damia, Syuveil, Kanzas, Belzac, and Shirley died during that battle."
"What about the other two Dragoons?" said Nick, "Did they survive?"
"In a manner of speaking yes, Rose, The Black Burst Dragoon, was the only true survivor, and Zieg Feld, my predecessor, was turned to stone after fighting Emperor Melbu Frahma in Kadessa," said Chris, "After that 11,000 years passed before the second generation of Dragoons came to power. It's this second generation of Dragoons that is the focus of the Legend of Dragoon videogame."
"They made it into a video game?" said Jacque, "what kind of brain came with that?"
"Your guess is as good as mine cousin. All I know is that someone somewhere found out about the Dragoons and turned it into an RPG, if that is the case, then we have to find them, they'll have answers to a lot of our questions" said Chris.
"So what do we do in the meantime Chris?" said Azrael, "you're the LOD expert, you know the most about this. We're all looking to you."
"Easy Azzie, first things first, David and I need to learn how to access the power of our Dragoon Spirits, we also should keep our eyes open for anything out of the ordinary."
"You mean like Virages or any other giant monsters trashing the town?" said David.
"Pretty much, we'll just have to play the waiting game for when the other DS's or our supposed enemy appears," said Chris.
"Enemy?" said Jen, "What are you implying?"
"Now that we're Dragoons Jen, all seven of us will need to learn how to fight in order to protect ourselves," said Chris with a grim look on his face, "We'll also need weapons of some sort. I have a katana that I got as a gift Master Barton. Bud, as the Earth Dragoon, an ax might be just up your alley, Jen, personally I don't see you lugging a big mallet around, maybe some daggers for you, Jacque, brush up on your archery skills, Nick, I'm not afraid to admit that your hand to hand skills are far better than mine ever could be, David will need a spear, and Azrael, you remind me so much of Rose, a rapier is the only weapon I could see you carrying."
"Should I be flattered that you're comparing me to a video game character?"
"I would be."
"Guys, can we focus?" said David, "If there is a need for Dragoons, then we need to get ready."
"Hold on, we have some unanswered questions. Who is our enemy? How large are their numbers? Who is in charge? What kind of powers do they have? If we don't know this, then we're dead meat" said Bud.
"Bud is right, We won't get very far in this Dragoon business if we don't even know who we're fighting against" said Jen, "personally I don't want to fight at all."
"I know that this far from a date at the beach, but it had to be done," said Chris, "I'll give you guys one chance to decide, you're either in or out on this. If you decide not to follow the path of the Dragoon, I won't think any less of you, but at the very least think of your family and friends, what would do if they were in trouble? So what is it going to be?"
"Chris, we're blood, what do you think?" said Jacque.
"Same here man, we've known each other for almost 11 years, do you think I'm going to skip out you here?" said Nick.
"I don't really want to do this, but if my family is in danger, I'll fight," said Jen.
"While I don't share everyone's enthusiasm, count me in," said Bud.
"Why not? It sounds like fun," said Azrael.
"So it's decided, we fight." Chris said, "Let the Dragoons fly again!"
Elsewhere…
Death Valley, Nevada, 140 miles north of Las Vegas, dipping well below sea level, it is one of the most desolate places on the entire planet. No modern human could ever imagine a flourishing city would exist out in the middle of nowhere…WRONG! Hidden under an 18,000 year old magic shield lays the last remnant of a long forgotten time, the base of the rebel Winglies during the ancient Dragon Campaign, the Spring Breath Town Ulara.
Ulara's magically constructed waterfalls and gardens of living flowers are all beautiful, but that is not the focus. The focus is on a darkened chamber in the mansion of one Charle Frahma, older sister of the long dead Supreme Dictator Melbu Frahma. Charle looks on with her aid Caron and Meru, The Dragoon of the Blue Sea Dragon, and the last surviving Dragoon as they silently observe seven young people.
"They're just children. Why must they always be so young?" Caron mused.
"Because they're the only ones who can, they remind me so much of Zieggy and the others, when they're young, they believe that they can do anything" said Charle.
"I know Lady Charle, but that still doesn't make it any easier. The demon will awaken soon, and they'll be the only ones who can fight against it."
"Times have changed so much! They don't even teach them how to fight anymore! The demon will awaken soon, and they won't stand a chance!" said Caron.
"We must be watching different groups of kids Caron, because it looks like that a few of these kids already know how to fight, We saw Dave take on the troll, and Chris took on a Virage of all things and he completely incinerated it without knowing how to use it at all!" said Meru.
"Chris has played the game that we circulated with the deepest of passion. He knows what power he has, and I have faith that he will lead the new generation of Dragoons and defeat the oncoming danger. However, the others must gain their Dragoon Spirits soon. We must get them here to Ulara. It is the only way."
"I'll get them here, Charle, have faith" said Meru. The three Winglies' gaze fell to a table in the middle of the room, where seven small gems sat, gray, red, green, violet, gold, light blue, and white…the other five Dragoon Spirits.
Author's Notes. Dum dum dum! The plot thickens! Charle and Meru are still alive in the modern world, and notice that that the Black Burst Dragoon spirit has not been mentioned, where could it have gone? What is the new evil that Chris and Co. must defeat? Quite frankly I have no idea! (cue massive facefault)
