Legend of Dragoon: Legend Reborn

Chapter 9: Wingly Education

Chris, David, and Azrael drove in silence the rest of the way to Chris' house. The images of the battle they had fought just minutes earlier forever burned into their minds.

"I still can't believe it" said David in a distant tone, "I can't believe that we actually shed blood."

"Believe it David, it's only going to get worse from here" said Azrael.

"I hate to change the subject, but you have to admit, transforming into a Dragoon was an adrenaline rush, wasn't it?" said Chris.

"No argument there. I felt like I was on fire!" said David.

"I felt like I could do anything. Maybe I could pay Eric Bischoff a little visit this way…" said Azrael.

"Drop that idea right now missy!" said Chris.

"You're such a party pooper!" said Azrael, pouting in the backseat.

"Az, the Dragoons used their power to protect the world from evil, at least the Dragoons that were good" said Chris, "They did not use their powers to scare the living crap out of petty, weaseling little men."

"Actually, you could do what Rose did and be the Black Monster" said David.

Chris merely groaned as he turned his car onto the street where his house was. The three Dragoons approached the door and Chris stopped dead in his tracks. The front door was wide open.

"Chris didn't you close and lock that door?" said Azrael.

"Yes, I certainly did", said Chris, "I wasn't expecting anyone…were you David?"

"I'm going to see Tia tonight, but I never told her to meet me here" said David, "Were you expecting anyone Azrael?"

"Hell no! Maybe you've forgotten but the reason I'm staying here in the first place is to get away from my lunatic of a sister. I never told Mediah, Femalephenom, or anyone else where I was going because I was afraid that Pyper might find me through them."

"Let's just see what's going on then. Be ready" said Chris as he drew his katana. David and Azrael went for their weapons and charged into the house. Sitting on the couch watching TV was a young woman in her mid to late 20s. Now this isn't a surprise. What was a surprise were her platinum blue hair pulled up into a ponytail, pale skin, and blood red eyes, almost like an albino. She wore a pale blue t-shirt and shorts, blue sandals, and propped up against the couch was a massive blue and gold sledgehammer. She turned to them and said in a bright and chipper voice.

"I was wondering when you guys would show up!" The three of them could only stand gaping.

"Who are you and what the hell are you doing in my house?" said Chris after he had composed himself.

"You know who I am Chris Michaels!" said the girl, "But perhaps you need a hint!" She picked up the sledgehammer. Chris and the others got ready for anything. The girl spun once and a blue gem hanging around her neck began glowing. She slammed her hammer on the ground and was encased in a solid block of ice. The ice shattered out to reveal her in an armored one-piece swimsuit with a familiar pair of draconic looking wings on the back. Recognition came onto David's face.

"YOU'RE MERU!" He yelled, "You're Meru from the game!"

"Congratulations, David or should I call you Ninmast?" said Meru with a big smile as she reverted back to normal.

"So it's a real account then? The events of the Legend of Dragoon video game are real" said Azrael.

"Pretty much so, I bet you have a lot of questions to ask. Sit down, it will take a while to explain" said Meru, gesturing to the couch.

"I think we better" said Chris, as the three of them promptly fell onto said couch.

"Question numero uno," said Azrael, "Seeing as how you are a real person, is it right to assume that the other playable characters, were real as well?"

"Not just the playable characters. All the characters in that game were based on real life people, captured as we remembered them" said Meru.

"Did you have anything to do with the production of the LOD game?" said Chris, "Because once I realized I had the Red-Eyed Dragoon spirit the thought came to mind that someone on the production staff may have been directly involved with the Second Dragon Campaign. I know Winglies live much longer than humans do."

"Actually, the production staff at Sony consisted entirely of Winglies. We infiltrated the company and made sure the story of what happened was told" said Meru.

"Why a video game? That's actually quite an ingenious idea" said David.

"You guys have to be made aware that 7,000 years have gone by since Melbu Frahma died. In that time the Dragoons were forgotten, just as they had been the first time around" said Meru, "Charle wanted people to be made aware of what happened, but in this modern age no one would have believed it as a truthful story. There's too much cynicism in this world today."

"You won't get any arguments from us" said Azrael, "We have to live in that world of cynicism and it really sucks."

"But there are those people that are dreamers. People that wish for a life of adventure, the chance to be a hero. Especially you Chris" said Meru with a smile that caused the Red-Eyed Dragoon to blush slightly, "We could have done a movie or a book, but we wanted people to experience it firsthand, but we didn't want anyone dead. A video game provided that experience without the threat of death."

"Charle is still alive! I know that she's a Wingly and all, but I thought even she would be dead by this point" said David.

"Charle Frahma is one of the most powerful Winglies on the planet, and her magic is still very strong. Our magic is what keeps us alive for so long. I could go on about it but it would probably bore you. Let's just leave it that" said Meru.

"Good idea" said Azrael, "So now the burning question is why you are here?"

"Easy, I'm here to finish up your training as Dragoons. You should call the rest of your team, as I have something that may belong to them. Meru produced a small satchel and opened the flap. Inside were four small gems, violet, golden-brown, white, and a light blue one that matched the one hanging around Meru's neck. Chris' eyes bugged out of his skull.

"The other Dragoon Spirits!" said Chris, "You brought the other Dragoon Spirits!"

"They've been in our care for 7,000 years. If you're wondering why there's a second Blue Sea Dragoon Spirit, it's because it copied itself shortly after Melbu Frahma died. I never figured out why it happened, and I didn't really care."

"Let's put these things in a safe place. We can call the others tomorrow morning" said Chris.

The next morning Chris and the others had a quick breakfast before calling on the others to meet them at their usual spot in the forest. When everyone assembled they blanched at the sight of Meru.

"HOLY HELL!" said Bud, "Chris, is she, is she?" Chris simply nodded. Bud could only gape.

"For those that are out of the loop, who is she man?" said Nick.

"She's Meru the Wingly, The Dragoon of the Blue Sea Dragon. She's one of the characters from the Legend of Dragoon video game, and she's here to finish our training. She's brought the other four Dragoon Spirits and it's time they went to their new masters" said Chris.

Meru gave the Violet Dragoon Spirit to Nick, Bud received the Golden Dragoon Spirit, Jennifer received the copy of the Blue Sea Spirit, and Jacque received the White-Silver Spirit. The four put the Dragoon Spirits around their necks and all seven spirits began resonating as one.

Meru transformed into her Dragoon form so everyone could see her in all of her glory. She pointed her hammer at the seven new dragoons

"This almost seems too good to be true!" said Jennifer, "You showed up right when we needed you."

"That is rather suspicious" said David, "How do we know this isn't some kind of trap?"

"It's no trap. Things are going to heat up in the next few years or so. Charle knows that the Dragoons are the only ones who can stop it. We wanted to get a head start this time around."

"Do we know what we're dealing with?" asked Jacque.

"I wish we did, to be honest, I'm scared. Scared for all of you" said Meru, her red eyes getting misty, and her normally cheerful smile turning melancholy, "Why must it always come down to people so young?"

"Don't start crying on us!" said Bud.

"The spirits of the Dragons are with us, they helped saved the world twice before, we'll make it a three-peat!" said Nick.

"And if anyone says otherwise, we'll just skewer them!" Azrael said.

"We're ready to meet our destiny, Meru, show us the way" said Chris.

"Are you sure about this?" said Meru, "There's no going back."

"YES!" all seven of them said at once. They were set on their course and were not going to be swayed.

"Then it's time, AWAKEN SPIRITS OF THE DRAGONS!" Meru cried. The seven spirits began radiating light.

Chris let out a primal yell of power as he was engulfed in roaring flames. The flames died away to reveal the flame red armor of the Dragoon of the Red-Eyed Dragon that Zieg and Dart had worn proudly so long ago. A red jeweled headband with 7 small green stones sat on Chris' forehead. Flames flew up out of his back to form his wings. Chris slashed his sword in an X formation and stood ready for battle.

David's Dragoon Spirit started glowing and he was enveloped in a screaming green whirlwind. The tornado blew outward to reveal David wearing the brilliant jade armor of the Dragoon of the Jade Dragon like Syuveil, Lavitz and Albert before him. David twirled his spear over his head and brought it to a ready position.

Azrael let out a short growl as purple lighting shot out of her Spirit, enveloping her in a pitch black sphere. The sphere collapsed in to reveal Azrael in the midnight blue armor of the Dragoon of the Black Burst Dragon, only the second person to have that honor after Rose herself. Azrael's headband sported the same catlike protrusions. Her rapier held out in a ready position.

Jennifer's transformation was different from Meru's. She held her daggers across her chest as a column of water surrounded her. The column of water exploded outward to reveal her as a mirror of Meru as the newest Dragoon of the Blue Sea Dragon. She held one dagger over her head and another in a defensive position in front of her.

Bud slammed the ground and was encased in a mound of dirt. The mound collapsed to reveal Bud in the massive armor of the Dragoon of the Golden Dragon.

Nick was struck by purple lightning bolts, these lightning bolts wrapped around Nick's body to become the armor of the Dragoon of the Violet Dragon. Nick hovered in midair into a ready stance.

Jacque was engulfed in a column of purest white light. When it receded Jacque was pleased to find her armor of the Dragoon of the White-Silver Dragon followed Miranda and Shirley's armor, which was like Rose and the armor of the men. She never liked skirts.

The new Dragoons looked upon themselves in amazement at their new power.

"I've never felt anything like this in my life!" said Jen.

"I can feel the Dragon's power surging through me!" said Nick, "Nothing we ever did in martial arts school matched this!"

"This has got to be a dream!" said Bud.

"This is too cool!" Jacque said.

"When do we learn to fly?" said Azrael.

"Evil doesn't stand a chance in hell against us!" said David.

"The Legend of Dragoon lives again!" said Chris.

"Couldn't have said it better myself!" said Meru, "Let's get to work!"

Author's Notes: WOW! And so the Dragoons fly again. Meru will show the new generation of Dragoons the way. If you think this seems Deus Ex Machina, read the chapter "Destiny Decided" I hope everyone enjoyed this, the next volume will have the heavy action, This was to just get everyone together.
