The Lord of the Dragoons
Chapter 1
I always thought that I was an ordinary guy. I went to school like average kids. My parents and family always said I was special even though I never believed them. I always wondered if there was something else out there. You know, what if?
School had just let out and boy was I glad it was the weekend. I had just gotten on the bus, sat down and turned my CD player on. Something felt different though. I was really excited for some reason. I started thinking about what to make for dinner, when this giant man in a strange golden armor with wings landed right in front of the bus!
The bus went into a frenzy, kids were screaming and running around trying to get to the back exit of the bus. While ever one else was running and falling over each other trying to get out I just waited. When the way was clear, I got out of the bus and everyone was running around and screaming. Cars started crashing into each other and one guy got hit. I started running toward the bank on the other side of the street when my ankle gave out. "Ahhh! Of all the times for you to give out you stupid ankle! Uhh . . . " I looked up to see seven people in armor. There was one woman in an almost black armor with wings that looked really creepy. (All of the armor had wings) She looked rather cold and hateful at first glance. One of the girls looked kinda young and had silver hair with reddish orange eyes, and looked way too happy given the situation. She was staring at everything with a look of amazement and wonder on her face.
Her armor was blue, and she was carrying a giant hammer, like a sledge hammer, but bigger. No person that small should be able to carry a weapon that big. The man in golden armor had a giant ax that was made of stone. He must have been eight feet tall and looked like Mr. Olympia except with a mohawk. He was so large that he didn't even look human. "What is it with these people and huge weapons?" I thought .There was a man in red armor that looked quite normal, strong but not huge and with spiky hair. He had a sword in his hand and it looked long and rather cumbersome, but then again I don't know much about swords. The woman in black armor also had a sword but it was shorter than the red man's sword; it was probably used for faster movements. There was one more woman who had white armor and wielded a bow and arrow. She looked like she was a fighter, sort of a tomboy, and a person of impatience judging by the look of impatience on her face. There were two other people in armor: one had green armor and one had purple armor. The man in green armor had a spear, it looked wooden and very sturdy, a weapon that would not break under any circumstance. He had a look about him that was very dignified. The man in purple armor looked kind of old which I thought was strange. He looked 70+ and acted like he was 25. He didn't have a weapon so I guessed he used his fists, quite a feat to see I assumed.
To my surprise and the surprise of everyone who had gotten off of the bus, or stopped in the street and to the media that had gathered in the area all seven warriors looked down at me and said, "ye who is to be Lord of the Dragoons." and bowed. Well you can just imagine the shock of the bystanders and me at this turn of events. I just about fainted, then it hit me, "These are the same people from The Legend of Dragoon." Then the man in red armor who I had recognized as Dart the leader of the Dragoons started to come closer to me when a police officer fired a shot at him and screamed, "get away from the boy you freaks!" Another officer walked on the scene to get me out of the way. The man in purple armor made a lunge at the officer, who tried to fire a shot and got the gun knocked out of his hand. Then a swat team van pulled up and put six of the dragon warriors at gun point, while the other officers put me in a police car. I couldn't get that phrase out of my head, "ye who is to be Lord of the Dragoons." "What the hell was that supposed to mean.". I almost cried when I looked up to see the green armored Dragoon named Albert, summon a mass of wind with his spear. The wind encased him then he shouted, "Wind Blaster!" and the mass of wind that encased him shot from his body and headed toward the other Dragoons and the officers in the shape of a giant bird that screeched when it impacted them. During contact the poor officers were crushed and then blown away in the attack. While all this was happening, I was being taken away to who knows where. "Oh great!", I thought to myself. "Now the government has got me. They probably think they're some crazy terrorists and I'm an accomplis." I was thinking about how they were going to question me when we got to the police station, and they put me in a debriefing room. They said, "It's for your own protection. We have to keep you safe & we are going to call your parents." "Yeah right." I screamed as they locked the door, "You think I know what's going on, well I don't so just let me outta here!" It was about four hours before I had contact with another human being. I was starting to wonder if this is what the rest of the evening was going to be like, when I thought that I heard some yelling and fighting in the distance. Then I felt the ground rumble, which made me assume that the Dragoons had come to rescue me. I felt really confused, "The Dragoons have come to rescue me, but why I haven't done anything. Still I'd rather see what they want than stay in this stupid room." Then I heard someone's voice calling "Kid? ... Kid! Where are you?" Is what I heard in the distance "We've come to save you! Where are you? Give us some hint so we can find you please! Hurry. Our time is limited!" After hearing that their time was limited I started to fear for their safety, and started to beat on the door of my room and yell. I felt as if my one ticket out of here was calling and if I didn't make it I would be doomed to live my boring life and know that I blew my one and only chance for a real adventure forever. "I'm here! I'm here! Please don't leave without me! Don't leave me here!" "Rose, he's in here, hurries get Haschel" "Is this the room?" BANG! BANG! "Protect the child! Officers advance!" "Freezing Ring! Hurry Haschel! We can't hold off these strange weapons for long" "Kid, stand back" I moved out of the way just in time for the Dragoon named Haschel to punch the door down so that the Dragoon in the golden armor could pick me up, and bust a hole in the ceiling so we could all fly away.
While we were flying, I turned around to see a team of helicopters coming after us, when the Dragoon in white armor stopped flying with us turned around. The sky went black then she started glowing and cried, "Star Children!" Then a wave of bright lights came falling down from the sky in flurries and tore those helicopters up like paper. We continued to fly until we lost our pursuers.
