-The Story-
A revenge and quest of finding, turned into a tragedy….
Ty had come to Orsterra to find his comrades, and in doing so entered a deal with Primrose to deal out her vengeance to the men who killed her father, the men who bore the mark of the crow.
The wings were clipped, and all that was left was the head. But in a twist of fate, the leader was revealed. Simeon, someone who was supposed to be a friend of Primrose.
But that wasn't the extent of Simeons terror, as he had prepared and staged the ultimate Tragedy. Simeon killed Primroses father, he had Diane and King and was set to execute them both… and worst of all, he had in his grip, a revived and controlled Elaine, who sacrificed herself for Ban, who swore to bring her back.
Simeon now aims to bring his masterpiece to an end with the tragic ending of Primrose, Ty and the Shadow strike force at Everhold, but Ty refuses to let Simeon have his way.
For a dragon never yields in the face of impossible odds, and through those odds, Ty will bring the tragedy of the vengeful dancer to a happy ending….
"Of course...this is where he plans to end it." Ty said as they stood before the large amphitheatre in Everhold. "A theatre."
"Diane and King are probably inside, going to be his execution pieces. Who knows what Elaine is gonna be in this bastard's play." Ban said.
"Don't worry about what part Elaine has in this, Ban. Focus on getting her back. If Simeon wants a tragedy...then we'll just have to rewrite the script." Ty said. "Tricera, you stay outside and make sure no reinforcements come." he said as they headed in where they saw a play in progress.
"Okay, I don't see Simeon anywhere." Rogue said.
"I see him. Up there." Minerva said pointing to the balcony.
Ty and the others made it up to the balcony where Simeon waited.
"Greetings, Ty Takahashi, and my sweet Primrose." Simeon said.
"Can the dramatic tension, Simeon. Where are Diane and King? And where's Elaine?!" Ty asked.
"Where are your precious friends and lover, you ask?" Simeon asked. "Hmhmhmhm…. Why, your Giant and Fairy King are part of my spectacle."
"Spectacle? You captured them, and you're gonna kill them! Don't tell me it's on stage!" Ty said.
"What do you think, young dragon?" Simeon asked. "Behold, a great tragedy!" he said as the curtain rose as Diane and King were on stage as Elaine approached with a spear. "Now...for those in the audience, this is a tragedy of two lost lovers who have chosen to die together by the hands of the male's siblings. But in death, they shall always remain together." he said as the audience were watching with anticipation.
"Elaine… shes gonna kill King? You're gonna make her kill her own brother?!" Ty said. "What's the point of all this?!"
"You see...I get great enjoyment through bringing out the utter despair and tragedy within a person's story. And this...this is tragedy at its finest." Simeon said.
"I'm not gonna let it end this way, Simeon." Ty said.
"Oh, you intend to, don't you?" Simeon said. "The young Yakuza, the Dragon of Dojima who is coated in steel… heheheheheheh….. You are indeed a dragon in every way. But you will not win this day. Tonight, the curtain falls on the two lovers, slain by the lost lover of the thief! Tonight…. Witness your tragic ending!"
Elaine then proceeded to plunge the spear straight towards King, aiming to run him through….
But at the last second, Ban came in between King and Elaine, and stopped the spear by making it run between his chest and stopping it dead cold as the crowd gasped.
"WHAT?!" Simeon said.
"Hey, Elaine." Ban smiled. "It's been so long."
"Ban… you came for me." Elaine smiled.
"But… My tragedy. How is this…" Simeon said.
"Guess you didn't expect that plot twist." Ty said.
"You… you planned this?!" Simeon asked.
"Simeon, the Puppet Master… heh… that's a cute nickname. You can keep it. But…" Ty said. "This stage can only belong to one of us. Either the Crow… or the Dragon."
"On that...we agree." Simeon said pulling a dagger. "Let us give this...a show worth performing!"
"Fine. I'll give you your show." Ty said. "And I'll put and end to your tragedy!" he said casting off his coat to reveal his black t-shirt, Ace's Dragon Pendant, and on his back, the markings of a dragon,coated in steel.

Simeon, Ty and Primrose stood on the balcony as the crowd saw the standstill unfold.
"Takahashi…!" Simeon yelled charging.
"Oryaaaaaaa!" Ty said charging back as they collided and spilled over the Balcony, the camera panning to Simeon's crow mark on his neck and the Dragon tattoo on Ty's back.

Simeon, The Puppet Master
The two then crashed onto the stage as Simeon flipped back his cape.
Elaine pulled the spear out of Ban and passed it to the side, and then aimed at Ty as he and Simeon prepared to fight.
"You stole Ban away from me…. For that, you need to die." Elaine said in monotone before Ban grabbed and embraced her, making her miss with a blast of wind.
"Cut it out, Elaine. He's not the enemy." Ban said softly.
"No, he is." Elaine said.
"Simeon...you're nothing but a manipulative bastard!" Ty said. "You killed Prim's old man...why?"
"Why? Its because he found out about the gate!" Simeon said as they clashed.
"The gate? The gate to what, Primrose's heart?!" Ty said roundhouse kicking Simeon in the face.
"The Gate of Finis." Simeon said returning with a slash to Ty's chest.
"Die." Elaine said breaking free of Ban's grasp and trying to attack Ty again, but Ban grabbed Elaine by the arm.
"Stop." Ban said before Elaine slashed him right up his chest with a slash of pressurised wind.
"Then why do you cover up for him?" Elaine asked.
"See what you're doing?! You're making Elaine hurt the man she loves, all because you wanted to see Primrose in despair!" Ty said fighting Simeon. "Do you have any idea the lengths Ban would go to try and bring her back?"
"So what? If both end up perishing, it'll just make it that more enjoyable." Simeon said.
"You really are a sick bastard. I'm gonna enjoy putting you to the ground!" Ty said.
Ty laid punch after punch on Simeon as Primrose arrived on stage, also seeing Elaine trying to tear Ban to shreds.
"I've always been watching you all this time. I've watched you travel to the ends of the universe with him, going on journeys and saving the world's over, and fighting with other groups! Well, I too wanted to be taken on a journey! I can't forgive any of that!" Elaine shouted.
Ty then punched Simeon and knocked him down. "I gotta help Ban with his crazy girlfriend. But first, I gotta get Diane and King outta those bonds." he said running to the execution stands.
"You will not touch my actors!" Simeon said getting up and charging.
Ty dodged and made Simeon slip, making him accidentally cut one of King's bonds. Ty then grabbed Chastefoil and parried Simeon by throwing it at him, allowing Primrose to attack.
"So, did I keep you waiting long, King?" Ty asked proceeding to cut the other bonds on King.
"We're tied up and about to be executed. What do you think?" King said.
"I'll take that you're happy to see me." Ty said. "Get Diane outta her bonds, I gotta take out Simeon and get your sister under control."
"Then you might wanna duck." Diane said as Ty did so dodging a stab.
"Thanks, Diane!" Ty said getting back into the fight.
"He'd better not hurt Elaine, or I'm gonna make him wish I was still tied up." King said as he floated up and started working on Diane's chains.
Ty tackled Simeon as Primrose proceeded to grapple with him. Ty then pulled Elaine off Ban and then punched Simeon in the face.
"You are ruining all of my work. I need to see more of your despair, your tragedy...I must bring it out to the surface." Simeon said grabbing Ty by the neck and pinning him to the ground.
"I need something for you to do… stop talking!" Ty said breaking Simeon's grasp and head butting him before kicking him away. "You want a tragedy? We'll show you a tragedy."
"You ridiculous imbecile!" Simeon said charging with dagger in hand.
"Aaaaaah!" Ty said before Primrose got between them as she lunged her own dagger right into Simeon's chest.
"Ah….ah…." Simeon said.
"This...is for my father." Primrose said as she removed it as Simeon fell backwards onto the stage as his eyes shut.
"Play's over, Bitch." Ty said. He then ran to Elaine and pulled her off Ban and pinned her to the way. "Now I have to set you straight. Do you love Ban or not?!"
"Of course I love him!" Elaine said.
"Then you need to stop this crazy act. I'm not stealing him, Prim's not stealing him, no one is stealing him! He has wasted years trying to bring you back and you are going to show your love for him cause you two deserve each other!" Ty said as they heard the audience aw.
"I know that already!" Elaine screamed as Ty was buffeted as Elaine summoned a massive tornado, making the audience scream, but they remained in their seats.
"Ngh….grrrraaah!" Ty said pulling himself against the winds.
"I can't stop myself! Someone, someone please stop me!" Elaine pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"BAN!" Ty yelled through the tornado as black flames suddenly surged against the tornado allowing Ban a way through to Elaine. Ban then ran through into the winds, grabbed Elaine and embraced her tight.
"I will definitely steal you away someday." Ban said.
"Ban…" Elaine said as the winds died down as they descended to the stage in an embrace. The audience then stood up and applauded.
"And so the lovers embraced, finally reunited…" Ty said.
(End song)
"Ban, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to show that ugly side of me." Elaine said.
"No matter how many ugly sides you have, I'll take them all." Ban smiled.
"Ban…" Elaine smiled back.
"Heh…" Ty grinned. "Love and Vengeance. Now that was two goals I was more than happy to accomplish."
"You certainly are light on your feet, for a mortal." A voice said.
"Who's there?" Ty asked.
"I am Sealticge, the Lady of Grace and one of the 12 gods of the land." she said.
"Nice to meet you. I take it you saw everything?" Ty asked.
"All of it. You were willing to risk everything to save your friends and make a long time revenge come to be. For that, you shall be given the powers of the dancer." She said. "But there is no more time to waste...look."
A sight then appeared as the risen undead were marching in unison towards a large gate.
"That must be… the Gate of Finis! So this is what Primrose's father was trying to warn Orsterra about!" Ty said.
"Indeed. Go to the ruins of Hornburg with your comrades. Time is running out." Sealticge said.
"I'm on it." Ty said as the stage returned. "Uh, I hate to ruin this little moment, but we need to get to the Hornburg ruins, and fast. All those dead rising we were investigating? They're gathering up at a single spot. No doubt it's Lyblac's work. Time to settle this."
To be concluded in Final Chapter…
