I didn't realize that I had this many misspelled words in the older version of this chapter. Good thing I'm redoing. Anyhow, if you have been reading the reviews, you should have seen the very long one. And you should also know that I am willing and interested and adding parts to the story to make it better, more intricate, more interesting and more detailed. Thank you for reading and now on with the story. Sorry for it taking so long.

Awakening

The dragoon…

Beings known mainly as legends since their need came.

It is a well known fact, that when dragoons exist, it is only because they are called and brought together by fate to face an evil presence that plagues the world.

Young Kain, you're time to awaken will soon come. Do not stray from the path of righteousness, for we deliver you the privilege and gift of being a supreme Dragon Knight.

Take the blade…

Use it against the Black Dragoons and lead an army to their victory!

Kain could hear the voice; it felt as if it was all around him, coming from the black void that surrounded him. Kain wished he could say something, but his voice would not function. He decided to look ahead of him and below, it was there that he noticed a pathway.

A dirt road that wove around and over the green hills, one that led for miles. Kain then noticed a large black object floating in the sky, but he felt no malice from it, it was not evil. And from it flew many smaller figures, more dragoons and like the large black object, he sensed no malice from the dragoons either. But before he could get a look at their faces, the clouds thundered and the darkness returned to surround him.

A messenger…yes, she will be you're guide to reach you're first awakening.

Only a messenger can awaken you're powers.

Be patient, for these powers will be great, and the loss of loved ones will never grip you're heart for a long time to come……but beware, for the battle is only beginning.

It was then that Kain saw figures ahead of him; it was all of the other young dragoons running towards him at top speed. A black dragoon was coming up behind them and slashed Blain and Sharen in order to reach Jex. The black dragoon struck a fatal blow to Jex by running him through the chest with a spear.

"JEX!" Kain spoke for the first time since he reached this place and he ran, before a white light blinded his eyes as it consumed him.

In reality Kain was asleep and dreaming; the rest of the dragoons were looking down at his distressed form. His face shifted from fear to pain and back, "Kain, wake up!" Syria whispered fiercely to the distressed boy.

"Aaah!" Kain woke with a start and gave a scare to everyone who was present. With wide-eyes, Kain surveyed his surroundings and then let out a sigh of relief.

Syria nearly jumped away from Kain completely, she did however land on her rump rather painfully. After grimacing a little she quickly said fiercely, "Jeez Kain! Don't do that, you were scaring us!"

Kain scratched the back of his head nervously at her outburst, "Sorry about that…bad dream I guess…"

"Well calm down then," Blain said forcefully, "It was just a dream after all." There was a light murmur of agreement between everyone, before Kain sighed and stood up. He began to talk about what they were going to do next.

"The closest place where we'll definitely find a dragoon, will have to be…Mount Villude." Just before the Dragon Youth left the castle in Bale, they were briefed on all the dragoons they would most likely find and where they would most likely find them.

Zieg/Fire Dragoon/Mount Villude

Rose/Dark Dragoon/Mayfil-Death City

Syuveil/Wind Dragoon/Ferybrand Forest

Damia/Water Dragoon/Tiberoa Port

Kanzas/Thunder Dragoon/Capital Kadessa-Forbidden Land

Belzac/Earth Dragoon/Rouge

Shirley/Light Dragoon/Shirley's Shrine

Lloyd/Divine Dragoon/Wingly's Home

Mount Villude was agreeably the closest place with everyone, but Sharen did not want to go. "I'm a forest dragoon; I'll burn up in that place." Kain sighed slightly but turned around and began to walk towards Mount Villude, "It's the first place were heading towards, you're not going to stop us in an-"

"Hey guys, why not go to Hoax to train?"

As Blain's voice reached everyone's ears, a visible cross-vein suddenly appeared on everyone else's forehead. As Kain and the others turned around, Jex passed by Blain and whispered "You really suck, Blain."

Blain chuckled nervously before he noticed that everyone else had a look that could kill. He could feel a dark cloud hanging over him, which would not go away until they reached Mount Villude. Yes, until they reached Mount Villude.

The rest of the day was used to walk towards Hoax. It was still the fortress that took care of the borders, but it was improved and better fortified. It also had more man power to take care of each part of the city. "Well are we going to start training or what?" Jex stated giving his spear a quick spin. Kain nodded and pulled out his sword, he also readied his armored glove to defend himself.

Jex dashed towards Kain, who blocked one end of the spear with his glove, and the other side he hit with his sword. Jex quickly backed off, catching Kain in surprise, and brought his spear down on the fellow warrior.

Kain hit the ground and rolled. He then quickly gave a quick kick to Jex's leg, and he fell. They both got back up at the same time and struck at each other again. Kain quickly sensed something, and pulled back his sword in order to black another attack from behind.

A quick look behind him showed him that Sharen was behind him, preparing to get serious. "Two against one…this really isn't fair…" Sharen smirked as she answered "Life sucks you know."

Sharen then transformed into a dragoon and began her attacks. Kain quickly pushed Jex back and knocked him out with a quick punch to the face. He then turned around and started his fight with Sharen. "EARTHLY VINES!" Sharen yelled, causing a slight rumble from the earth, before many small vines came out from the ground and grabbed on to Kain's legs.

Kain immediately fell to the ground, and Sharen quickly flew forward in order to get to Kain while he was occupied. Kain rolled to a side as a claw came down to the spot where he was laying. He quickly rolled back as the claws were being pulled back. Sharen's claws cut through the vines easily and Kain was standing with a sword in his hand again.

Before Sharen could react, Kain ran forward and jumped. When he landed, he landed on top of the front of Sharen's shoulders. A quick hit from the hilt of his sword to her face, knocked Sharen down and with a flash, she lost her dragoon armor. "owwiee" could be heard before she passed out.

Kain took a deep breath and suddenly put his sword behind him in order to block an attack that never came. Kain sighed before his legs were suddenly kicked and he fell to the ground. Too tired to continue, Kain decided to just lie on the ground and wait until the battle was completely over.

He suddenly jumped to the side however, knowing that it wouldn't be possible. He noticed that there was now a shield stuck down where his head had been. He looked up to see Blain grinning before charging forward at him. Kain jumped back but the attack was blocked already by Syria.

Syria then did a quick spin to move the shield away from her, and continued spinning to give a good shot in at Blain's jaw. He fell to the ground at a quick speed and didn't get back up. At that point, Kain fell down on his own and took a few deep breaths.

The training continued for a few hours before it became too dark to continue. Kain led the way to the inn and asked for rooms, at this point he came across a problem.

"What do you mean only three?" Kain looked distressed and the others came to see what was going on.

"I'm sorry sir, but we're pretty booked, we only have 3 extra rooms, it means that two will have to share from your party of six." From behind him, Kain heard suddenly, "We don't mind."

Only two people would actually say that right now, Sharen and Michelle. He then sighed realizing that they were probably hanging on tight to their significant others at the moment. Which meant that he would need to share a room with Syria.

"Well I don't think we shou-" Kain turned around to see that four people had already gotten their keys and had moved on to their rooms. Kain stood with an open mouth, and Syria sweat-dropped, before walking up to the counter and taking her and Kain's key.

She then proceeded to drag Kain all the way to their room, before opening the door and entering.

They were both lying down on the bed and started out by simply looking at each other. Kain couldn't help himself, 'She's beautiful' he thought but made no move to say so. He only continued to stare to which Syria noticed and began to blush.

Kain realized how much he had been staring and decided it was time to get some rest; he then turned around in order to stop embarrassing Syria and tried to get some sleep. He suddenly stopped though, when he felt two slightly cold arms snaking their way over his neck. He blushed suddenly as he heard Syria whisper, "Kain could you just hold me to keep me warm, and not think anything naughty?" She ended the question with a lusty voice.

Kain blushed even more but rolled his eyes at the same time, 'How am I supposed to not think anything naughty when she says it like that?' He turned around anyways in the end and held her as she asked. He heard her sigh and opened his eyes slightly to see that she was smiling. He then closed his eyes and smiled as well, before both fell into a deep sleep.

Kain woke up the next day with the same nightmare, but he was able to keep quiet enough so as not to wake up the beauty he found within his arms. He smiled, before carefully untangling himself from her arms and then getting dressed before heading outside. He checked on the rest of the team, but it was early morning and everyone was fast asleep.

He then left Hoax and made his way to fight monsters. He came across some a few minutes after leaving Hoax. He fought his way through them, trying to get his head out of the nightmare he'd gone through but in a way he couldn't

He lost focus in the monsters that were beginning to surround him in an unusually large number. He finally focused and saw that he was surrounded by 20 or so monsters. "What the?" He never got to finish as a monster from behind him ran suddenly to strike at him, a human-lizard monster. He spun around and split it in two using his sword; he then brought up his armored left-arm to block a bite from another coming from that side.

Kain jumped and kicked the monster away before slashing at it as well. Then the monsters all charged in at him, and Kain could do very little but fight to the best of his ability. He used his leg to spin-kick a good half of them against each other before striking killing blows against the rest.

On grabbed on to his shoulder from his back, but Kain reached over and threw him to his front, before stabbing his sword down upon it. He cut through one that ran up to him and then to another that was on the other side of him. Kain coughed, he couldn't last against these numbers but he was still surrounded.

Then he heard a voice shout out, "COMBUST!" The monsters suddenly burst into flames most of them running away but some of them dying from the sudden burning feeling. Kain looked around for the source of the voice, a female voice; he then looked up and spotted a dragoon.

She had on a black skirt, over which she had blood red armor trimmed in silver. She wore boots that were black trimmed with blood, red, and silver. The right boot ended at the middle of her calf and the other at the middle of her thigh. The top was black armor, similar to a tube top, that was trimmed in silver with blood red weaved all around it. From the middle of her palm to three quarters up her arm she wore armored gloves in blood red trimmed in silver laced with black around it. In her right hand she held a sword, silt hilt, the blade glowing. Her left hand seemed to be in flames, a silver flame around her hand, every so often flickering red or black. Her wings were similar to the other dragoons, it was trimmed in black, and the inside was silver and seemed to drip blood.

'She looks like she'd be accepted with the Black dragoons easily, geez!' Kain thought to himself as he looked at the brown-haired dragoon. "You shouldn't stay here." He heard from her, her voice was cold but not without emotion. "You're friends are in danger…who do you think sent these monsters." 'Black Dragoons!' Kain thought after hearing the girl speak.

He quickly ran towards Hoax as fast as his legs could carry him, not stopping to rest or even take a few deep breaths. The girl looked on, "Now we'll see…are you truly the one?" She then raised her sword in front of her face, "Power of the White Dragon, I beseech you, the time has come for the user to prove himself!"

Kain was in front of Hoax in a matter of minutes where he saw that his friends were actually running away from something inside of Hoax. 'No!' He saw Jex was lagging behind and that a Black dragoon was chasing them, 'This is just like the dream.' Kain finally saw the Black dragoon stab a sword through Jex's chest. "JEX!"

A white light blinded him once more, but this time it wasn't a dream. And although he had been slightly blinded by the light, he still ran forward. Running towards the enemy. But when the light dissipated, he realized that he had stopped running but was now flying.

Kain flew straight into the black dragoon and attacked with his sword. His armor was a shining white armor. Wings, crown, armor; they were all white, yet his left arm had now become a white shield instead of his fathers arm-shield. Kain brought his sword down on the lone black dragoon.

The black dragoon fell and hit the ground, before trying to get up, to which Kain would not allow. He flew down again and used his sword to stab his enemy, who then burst into black flames before disappearing completely.

He stood from the ground and then looked over to his friends still body. He walked over to him with blank eyes and then reached over to his sword. It now had a polished blade and there was a huge gem. He reached at the gem and pulled out a spark of light before placing it on Jex's body.

The body began to heal, and then a sudden breath came from it. Jex opened his eyes suddenly and took deep breaths.

Kain smiled before he shined again and lost his dragoon power, he fell to the ground tired and hungry. "How is this possible?" Jex said as he looked at his hands, "I should have been dead…I WAS dead!" Jex then looked over at Kain. Syria, Michelle and everyone else wondered the same thing. "How did you do it?"

Kain couldn't answer, "I got angry I remember that, and then I transformed and attacked that Black dragoon. After that, I didn't do anything; I sort of didn't have control over my body as it did all those things to bring Jex back."

Kain then brought out his sword, "But I do know that out of all the things, this sword was what didn't revert back to its original state." "That must be a dragoon item then!"

Kain and then others turned around to see an aging man with gold armor. "I am Kaiser, Captain of Hoax's guard, are you the son of Dart?" Kain nodded before showing the sword, "What's a dragoon item?"

"An item believed to be made to control the strength of dragoons with immense power." Kaiser said, Jex responded, "Makes sense, time travel is not easy power, I suppose my ring is used to channel this power and make it easier on my body."

Kaiser nodded before smiling, "I see that you have begun your journey, what have you been named?" "The Dragon Youth." Blain answered with a grin, "Then you shall be known from here to Denigrad, Tiberoa and even the Wingly home."

The Dragon Youth then left the town of Hoax and moved on to their destination. "We need to get into that volcano and find Zieg, we will need his strength." Each dragoon nodded and so their journey continued.

Elsewhere

"My prince another of your soldiers has fallen!"

A dark yet young voice responded in the darkness, "Who are these people that have become a thorn in my side?"

"They are known as the Dragon Youth."

"Yes of course, the same group of children as the last ones. They will head to Mount Villude, send our soldiers to the exit. Tell them to make sure they don't fail."

"Right away my prince!" Steps were heard as the servant ran to give the orders.

"You will pay, Prince of Dragoons…"

That's it! Sorry again that it took so long! Review please! Seriously.
