~ The Crimson Dragon's View ~
When the wind has stopped, and I have been knocked out for a while. But finally, I have found the strength to be awakened again.
As I have awakened, I have found myself outside of the kingdom. But I am still on the moon because I still see the Earth from one corner of my eye. I stood, and I looked around. "Serenity," I spoke, "Queen Serenity…where…?"
A man chuckled from behind me, I was about to turn around. "We've finally found you," he spoke.
"Huh?" I nearly jumped as I felt both of my human arms grabbed and have been held right behind my human back. "Uh…let go," I struggled for the very first time in my eternal life.
"Not until you are willing to come with us, back to Earth," a man's voice has answered right behind me. I turned my human head around and saw a man that looks like an African-American (just guessing around these thousands of years, that story will come to you later. Anyway…) the man is muscular, marked with purple markings on his face, although I could not see his true face, I did realize that he is wearing a black cloak with violet markings all around it. Suddenly, I realized what I am up against.
"You're a Dark Signer from Earth?" I growled, "Are you?"
The man smiled at me, "Correct."
"She's smart than she looks," another man appeared right next to me. I examined him, he is too an African-American too. But a lot scrawnier than the man that is right behind me, but he does not have any markings on his face, and he is too wearing a black cloak with indigo markings.
"Darn it," I muttered. Suddenly, the man from behind me held my arms up, "Urgh," I nearly could handle the pain that the man was doing to me.
"Not so powerful when you are in this form," the man from behind me has spoken. "Aren't you?"
I growled as I struggled.
"We better go easy on her," said the scrawnier man. "We don't damage this pretty little thing, do we?"
"Brutus," the man from behind me spoke. "You know that this being is actually much bigger than a little thing, do you remember?"
"Yeah, I know." The man that is known as Brutus shrugged, "But seriously, for an eternal creature that is hidden within this host such as this." He grabbed my human chin, "It sure has brought out a form of the word pretty."
I growled as Brutus let go of my human chin, suddenly I struggled to break free.
"Nu-uh," the man from behind me has pulled my human arms up again.
"Urgh!" I shouted in pain.
"Easy Maliki," Brutus spoke calmly. "We're under strict orders to find, capture, and deliver the Crimson Dragon to base on Earth unharmed."
"Yes, I know. Don't remind me, Brutus," the man behind me that is named Maliki has hissed slightly.
I growled as I continued to struggle, "I am not going with you Dark Signers anywhere, not without a proper trial."
"True, but we cannot," Maliki replied.
"Explain why?" I growled.
"Because you are challenging the both of us," Maliki began. "Two against one, would not go well with that fragile body of yours. Does it?"
I growled harshly.
"Maliki is right," Brutus nodded. "So, save your strength for something else…so too bad, so sad."
"Why you…?" I growled even more.
"Hey!" a voice has roared within the air, suddenly a wind has picked up out of nowhere, and has started to push both Brutus and Maliki away from me.
As Brutus and Maliki are away from me, I've collapsed to my human legs and started to rub my sore, human arms. "No mortal would hurt my cousin like that," the same voice has roared in front of me. "No way, no how." I looked up and saw a woman that is standing right before me. I examined her a bit. The woman has light skin, the same height as mine, long turquoise hair with blue streaks, and she also wears clothes that are easily exposed as I am. I studied the clothes more carefully. The woman is wearing sea-green and sky-blue clothes with a little bit of a mixture of silver or platinum. The sky blue-silver cloth looks like actual metal and they are in weird shapes that are very hard to explain. She is also wearing a silver chain necklace with a sapphire that is attached to it. On her head, it is close to being a crown-like headband. But with wing-like ears to the sides of her head. Behind her is a cape, a cape that is flowing like the Northern Lights that could dance across the starry sky. On her right arm, there is an ancient duel disk as well. It is in the color of Light Blue-Silver with three feathered-shape as a wing and an unusual dragon symbol that is in the middle of the eye. And the woman's eyes are glowing with the color of Sea Green and light blue with turquoise markings that are floating around her face.
After I have finished examining the woman, I started to recognize her by her aura. Slowly, I started to feel both calm and upset at the same time. For the very first time. "Aurora," I spoke.
"Long time of the stars to see you again, Crimson." Aurora smiles at me.
"Aurora…your hatchling starry-head!"
"Huh?" Aurora jumped, "What did I do?"
"Don't play dumb with me, hatchling," I growled at her as I stood up weakly. "You used the spell to seal any Secret-Bound Immortals that are enemies away, and they are here on this very moon that holds one of the purest kingdoms among this galaxy."
"Heh, heh," Aurora panicked. "How and when did you…?"
"Never mind about that," I growled at her as I crossed my human arms at her. "But you should know better to use that spell, do you know what price that has cost you to use it? Including the moon?"
"Well…where's the fun in that?"
"Fun?" I echoed with veins throbbing within my forehead.
"Uh-oh," Aurora mumbled as she cupped her mouth.
"Is this what it is all about?" I growled, "You sealed your own enemies away and have the universe at war, just for the word of fun to cover it? Does that even count for the mortal's lives at stake?"
"Well…I…uh…"
I growled even more as I started to cool off, "You're such a hatchling."
"Sorry," Aurora apologized.
I sighed, "I will accept your apology until learned your lesson that lives within your own war. Against these Moon-Bound Immortals against you and your chosen Signers." I reminded her, "Till then, the time will come to be accepted for your apology and your alliance."
"Okay," Aurora nearly smiled. As I was cooling off, we both heard movement behind me.
"Hey Maliki," Brutus spoke. "There's another woman that is allied with the Crimson Dragon," when we turned. We both saw both Brutus and Maliki have finally got up.
"Yeah, and she is in our way," Maliki growled.
"Since part of this is my mess cousin," Aurora spoke. "Allow me to fix some parts of my mistake."
"Including about one Moon-Bound Immortal have escaped from imprisonment?" I asked.
"I'll get to that just for a moment, but right now. Let me deal these goons for you." Aurora offered as she ran in front of me; to shield me from view. "State your business," Aurora growled. "And what do you want from my own cousin?"
"Cousin?" Brutus echoed.
"So, you must be an eternal creature that lives among the stars as well," Maliki spoke.
"Indeed, I am." Aurora spoke, "So what do you want with her? Tell me."
"Nothing much," Maliki barely growled. "We were just taking "Chris" to base as our trade offering for this upcoming war."
"And hopefully, we'll win this time," Brutus added.
"Brutus," Maliki head slapped Brutus.
"What?" Brutus rubbed his head, "What did I say?"
"Too much," Malkili answered.
"So, you've been calling yourself Chris while you're here in this kingdom huh?" Aurora asked me through telepathy.
I nodded.
"I like it," she smiled. "It's way better to call you all-mighty Crimson Dragon or just cousin now and then."
"Watch it Aurora or I'll be calling you hatchling for the rest of your eternal life." I mentally growled.
"Okay, okay." Aurora chuckled nervously, "I was just joking, however..." Aurora turned to the Dark Signers from Earth. "There's no way in this universe…that you would get your hands on my cousin, you Dark Signers from Earth." She growled.
"Oh, is that so?" Brutus asked.
"Then what are you going to do about it?" Maliki asked.
"Within the name of the stars," Aurora began. "I challenge you to a duel."
Both Brutus and Maliki smiled evilly.
"With what?" Maliki asked, "Just you against the both of us?"
"Well…" Aurora lost some words to respond. "Good question." She muttered.
I sighed in disapproval. "Actually," I stepped in. "Make that a tag team duel."
"Huh," Aurora jumped.
Both Maliki and Brutus too jumped.
"Just Aurora and I, versus the two of you." I explained, "If we win, you two and your comrades will not strike war here on the moon ever again."
"Interesting," Brutus spoke.
"What happens if we win?" Maliki asked.
"If you two win," I nearly muttered. "I will go with you freely in the exchange for sparing the people of the moon lives."
"What?" Aurora jumped.
Both Maliki and Brutus smiled wickedly.
"I will not fight," I began. "I will not fight back or anything, but surrender to you in this war. You have my word of it."
"How very interesting," Brutus chuckled.
"Indeed, it is." Maliki too chuckled. "Alright, we accept the challenge."
I sighed at the cost that I am collecting towards the end of this state.
"But Chris," Aurora spoke to me. "Do you even realize what you are doing?"
"I am," I nodded. "But as a sacred eternal creature that lives within the stars, you should never shake the words of promises that makes one of those deals. No more, no less. It's all in the grand design, you should have learned it during your training."
"Chris…" Aurora's voice has become full of worry. I look away from her.
"Alright, let's do this." I nearly growled.
"Before we could start," Maliki spoke. "Let's turn this Tag Team Duel into a Turbo Tag-Team Duel."
I felt my human eyes widen.
Aurora narrowed her eyes at them.
"We duel as we ride, up in the sky." Maliki began, "If one of us falls off our horse, or stopped your horse. You will fall off and automatically loses the duel."
"But if you're life points hit zero," Brutus added. "You will still be fallen off from the trail that is in the sky." Brutus laughed wickedly.
Both Aurora and I growled angrily.
"If you forfeit now," Maliki spoke. "You still have a chance to keep your feet on the ground, and walk away peacefully."
"Not a chance," I growled. "We accept your challenge."
"Good," Maliki clapped. "Now lets our ritual begin," as his left arm glowed along with Brutus's right arm glowed. Suddenly, huge purple flames appeared in the sky and made two different shapes in the sky.
Suddenly, four horses appeared right in front of us. One white, one grey, one black, and one dark brown. All four horses have saddles and everything. I walked towards the white horse, "C-c-c-c-Chris," Aurora stuttered.
"Hmm…" I turned to her.
"I-I-I-I don't know how to duel on a horse," Aurora spoke. "I-I-I may not be any use to you."
"Don't worry, just follow my lead and my directions." I spoke, "Just one step at a time."
"O-o-o-o-o-okay," she got on the grey horse and I got on the white horse. Maliki is on the black horse and Brutus is on the dark brown horse.
As we all are on our horses, we faced the entrance of our trail. As we're facing, we're being set. "Ready," Maliki spoke.
"Get set," I added. Suddenly, we all have begun to gallop.
"DUEL!" we all have shouted as galloped into the duel within the sky.
