Chapter 3: Set Off! To the Unknown World!
While Tasuku and Gao deal with their problems at America drum was having his trainingat the dragon world and of course with the drum clan.
"Well that was a hard training!" Drum shouted as he done his morning warm ups and now his day went on like usually he does.
"This isn't your place…" A voice ringing in his head.
"Okay did I hear sounds?" Drum thought as he hear voices but there is no one there.
"Remember who you are…" The voice sound again everytime he was now here he always hear the sound inside his head once and a while but now it's going like many times than usual and he always got an image like he was fighting someone and it isn't the place where he was now and his appearance wasn't like this and it feels like he was someone else.
"Arrghhh… My head is hurting again…" Drum said as he was now holding the pain in his head.
"Drum are you okay?" Another of the armor dragon comes to his aid.
"I'm fine…. Maybe I'm just already tired…" Drum smiled as he gets away and didn't make any suspicion with the others.
"Well go take a break sheesh you never been tired in training…" The other armor dragon said.
"Thanks.." Drum said as he now wanted to see him but he saw that his dad was now talking to the great dragon lord of the dragon world and he is Tenbu.
"I've got to hide.." Drum said as he hides behind one of the big rock
"So it has been a while since then…" Drum's father seems to greet the dragon lord pretty well..
"Yeah…. Since he was found by you so… is he still wanting to be the clan leader?" Tenbu asked
"Well it seems he is still wanting it but… I doubt it… since from what we known he just fell one day and… we nurture him and we don't know from where he I mean drum comes from…" Drum's father sighed
"Wait I wasn't raised but… I fall off the barrier of the dragon world…" Drum said as his mind was giving him some memories about himself bump against the dragon world barrier by some sort of dragon world and he degenerate into a dragon world monster.
"What is this memory…" He thought and he remembered that his dad was with tenbu nurturing him back to health now…
"Okay this is no time I need the truth now…" Drum said as he is now resolved and comes out from his hiding place.
"My son what are you doing here?" His Father asked.
"There is no need to lie now… I already know… and great tenbu I apologized for this inconvenienced…" Drum bowed
"There is no need to do that son of the drum clan…" Tenbu said.
"No… stop calling me that he isn't my father…." Drum said and now he isn't looking at his father anymore well he felt disappointed as he was already fulfilling his fathers wishes but he is still lying to him.
" so you hear everything…" His father said
"Yes… everything…" Drum sighed
"It seems he will catch on sooner or later…" Tenbu smiled.
"Now tell me everything.." Drum said with no expression.
"very well…." His father said.
"And don't leave anything out…" Drum said.
Flashback
A few years ago…
The drum clan was training with great lord tenbu and it was done at least once a year.
"Look a shooting star!" One of the armor dragon shouted as they were shown looking at a shooting gold star it's like something fell.
"What is this ruckus…" Drum's Father said.
"We just saw something pass by…." The other armor dragon said.
"Is that true?" Drum's father asked
"My lord tenbu…." Drum's Father said
"Sure we must check this out…" Tenbu said as they now go follow the direction of the shooting star coming from and now they were following it into the forest and saw a large crater and saw a baby dragon and it has a red color in it more like one of their kind.
"Tenbu My lord…." Drum's father said.
"I know…. We must keep it a secret… we don't know what world he is…." Tenbu said as he looks at drum one more time and he saw it a glimpse of the past.
"Tenbu my lord?" Drum's father asked
"Sorry… I'm just out for a while… but one day we must tell the kid everything… just prepare it is gonna be a bumpy ride…" Tenbu warned.
"I know what the risks…" Drum's Father sighed
"Then without further or do… you'll be his step father…" Tenbu announced
"I'll take the responsibility…" Drum's father said
End of flashback
"So the first time I come here… I was…" Drum said as his head was beginning to hurt like crazy like another of his memories comes back and it's getting clear.
"I remember… that day… I was facing Demonic Phantom Dragon, Belial…" Drum said.
"Phantom…. Does that mean.." Tenbu said
"And… I crash into the barrier of dragon world.." Drum sighed
"You crush through the barrier but if you're not a dragon world monsters you can't pass through the barrier.." Tenbu said
"It's because I was originally…" Drum sighed as he remembers another painful memory.
"Just take it one at a time…" Tenbu said
"I must go…" Drum said as he was in a trance and flew o the sky.
"Where is he going! Drum!" Drum's father shouted
"He is in a trance… his world is calling him…" Tenbu said
"It's time for you to go back… Gold Blaze Dragon, Drake Nexus… no… Drum Nexus Fang Slade Terrestrial XIV… " An astral image of a gold dragon with a heavy gold armor appeared beside him.
"Right I have to get back…" Drum said as he flew.
"What is that…" Drum's Father said
"It has been a while since I've seen that armor dragon…" Tenbu said
"What do you mean?" Drum's father said as he was Fang Slade Terrestrial the XIII.
"It seems the old world is seeking for your son back…" Tenbu sighed
"What do you mean?" Fang asked
"Let me tell you the story… Of the old world… Before us the armor dragons were created there are that is beyond our comprehension it is said they are the originals…" Tenbu explained
"The originals…" Fang said
"Ah… A world where it all began and it is called the Dragon Seeker World… Gold dragon race that were thought extinct along with Demon Dragon…" Tenbu explained
"Wait I hear this legend it was from the legend philosophy in our caves…" Fang remembered.
"It seems the battle from long ago isn't concluded till now…" Tenbu said
"A battle?" Fang asked
"There are two battles that created a long ago the first one it's Azi Dahaka and the sun deity of the sun Balle Soleil and there is the other one way before that and way forgotten.." Tenbu said.
"A long time ago the demon and gold dragon live in peace until one accident happen and made the fight to claim the light… While the demon when they wanted to use the light as their greedy possession while the gold dragon is the holy keeper keeping the light and bay… And that's where the battle of light and darkness first began…" He explained everything to Drum's Father.
"The first was Demonic Despair Dragon Belial and the other one the first drum bunker dragon…" Tenbu continued telling this to Fang Terrestrial the XIII.
"It can't be the first one is…" Fang sgasped
"I'm afraid it is… Your son…. His real name is Gold Blaze Dragon, Nexus…" Tenbu said.
"So what should we do now?" fang asked
"There is nothing we can do…" Tenbu sighed as they saw drum go and flew from the barrier of the dragon world to outside and it's the boundaries of all of the worlds.
Boundaries of the worlds
"Now warp…" Drum said as he now changed his form and his armor becomes golden while changing into a futuristic mode like neo drum except without the big drill and his body was like balle soleil and he disappeared
Back at the lab
"What was that…" Gao said as he feels something going through at a speed of light.
"Gao… you feel it too?" Exia asked as it seems he was done being examined a while back.
"I just feel that drum has just passed here…" Gao said as his eyes went into a blank expression.
"Gao… .. hoi gao…" Exia tries to snap gao out.
" He is waiting…" A golden light teleports him and exia
"What is the meaning of this!" Exia shouted as he and gao disappeared
Unknown World
"Where am I?" Drum said as he saw that he was in some sort of city.
"So you've finally arrived.." The gold dragon appeared and that's what he looked at.
"What is this place…" Gao said as he appeared with Exia.
"So you arrived on time Exia…" The gold dragon said
"So what is this place?" Drum asked
"This is the ancient city called golden palace…" The gold heavy armor dragon said as he now telling drum about it.
"But how can I get here just now I was just…" Drum said as he now looked at Gao.
"Gao!" He shouted
"Who are you?" Gao asked as he didn't identify that it is Drum his old buddy.
"He is your old buddy that drum bunker dragon.." The golden dragon said
"What?!" Gao gasped looking at Drum and he is looking cooler than usual.
"This is his true form Gold Blaze Dragon Drum Nexus… The first drum bunker…" The gold dragon smiled
"And you're.." Drum said
"Don't you remember him he is one of your follower drum…. Your assistant…" Exia shouted
"It's fine Exia… he seems to not recover his memory just yet… so let's give him time… My name is Great Gold Dragon, Magna…" The gold dragon smiled as he wields his sword more like Demios of the purgatory knight sword but it's cooler and sharper.
"The city is cool… way better than dragon world…" Drum said while looking around.
"It's because this is the city before everything was set off…." Magna said.
"The forgotten city…" Gao said as he looks that the black dragon, neo dragon and the armor dragon are roaming free living in harmony.
"We need of your help…. Fang Terrestrial XIV…" Magna now saw an image of belial attacking exia on the way to earth.
"It seems the phantom army are hindering in my mission bringing you here…" Magna sighed
"That…" Drum said as he saw belial's form and he is getting worked up.
"It seems he still remembering him even though he has n recollection of his memory.." Exia said
"I don't know but I have a bad feeling abot that monster… did I fight him before? Wait my father said that I fall of from the dragon world barrier…" Drum said
"That's why I can't connect to you until now…" Magna sighed
"No matter just tell me about him…" Drum demanded.
" He is belial the leader of the phantom knight army and well your rival… in the last battle it ended in a draw with you disappearing…." Magna explained
"Wait then.. what my dad and tenbu said…" Drum remembered about tenbu explaining about a tragedy long ago…" Drum said
"Ah yes… the phantom vs gold dragon it has been from long ago and now it is still unresolved… and you're the one that can end this…" Magna now holds drum shoulders.
"Me?!" Drum gasped
"Yes… because you're the chosen gold dragon…" Magna explained.
"But I didn't know anything about this world…" Drum said
" that's why exia will be accompanying you as a second buddy for the child the chosen… The mighty sun fighter!" Magna shouted as he pointed at Gao.
"EEhhh?! But the responsibility oh no I'm getting pretty sweaty in here…" Gao said as he is dropping a lot of sweat.
"Gao don't worry I'll hrlp you out.. cause drum here is a dunderhead and I always do his other jobs while he do the saving.." Exia sighed
"What are you calling me a dunderhead for!" Drum shouted
"Cause I do a lot of the work and you're always gets the reward!" Exia shouted
"That isn't true… even now I still respect you…" Drum shouted
" Well that wasn't a response I would get from you…" Exia smiled
"Is there something wrong?" Drum asked
"Nope nothing wrong…" Exia smiled
"Wait how do we get back to earth?" Gao shouted
"Well we're off magna… we can't be long the WBC cup is around the corner and we must get the best stop but first it's the warm up cup… the gaen cup.." Exia said
"Well good luck.." Magna smiled
"Now warp.." Exia shouted as they were teleported back to earth using exia's staff.
"I forgot to tell well it's fine…" Magna smiled seeing exia and the others go.
"But as gao now he can't be drum's buddy…" Magna sighed.
