Act III: The Galaxy and Chaos

Chapter 2: The Number Killer: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon

Time before prologue: 2 days

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon walk towards Number 39: Utopia, Tori, and the three Magnet Warriors. The dragon's skin radiate in blue light. When it spoke, it spoke in a cold but young voice.

"I'm looking for an Ordinary." Photon Dragon told the group, "I believe it's one of you."

Utopia look behind to look at Tori then back at Photon Dragon and said, "One of us is an Ordinary? Well…."

"Wait, I know you." Photon Dragon said, "You are the miserable Number that beaten me. Your presence may look valiant but behind your armor, power beyond imagination." Photon Dragon then sniffed the air before saying, "And my suspicions are correct. You, Number 39: Utopia, are the Ordinary that I must seek and kill."

"All right. I confessed!" Utopia said, "Caught me red handed. But I still don't get one thing: How do you know I'm a Ordinary? I have to tell these guys here some info not native to them to convince I'm was an Ordinary."

"I'm not any kind of dragon so far you faced in your lifetime." Photon Dragon exclaimed, "I am a dragon that can tell the difference between normal and nonnormal. When I first encountered you in the dream world, I sense a weird aura around you. I thought it was the Number power but when Number 17 came into the field, I was wrong. That Number's aura is way different than yours."

"So what does that mean?" Tori asked from Utopia's back.

"What does it mean?" Photon Dragon replied, "Every Number I encountered has the same aura but you. Then after our second fight, I figured you must be something else. An Ordinary."

"I'm an Ordinary, so what?" Utopia said, "That does not mean all Ordinaries are bad guys."

"Enough stalling time." Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon said as prepare to attack, "Time to pay the sins of your ancestors."

"Wait! You can't just run up to conclusions and assume he's the enemy!" Tori yelled at Photon Dragon.

"Watch me." Photon Dragon said as he fired a blast of energy from his mouth. Utopia blocks the blast with his moon barrier wing shield. As Utopia lowers his shield, Photon Dragon was gone.

"Where did he go?" Tori said as she stayed close Utopia. The Magnet Warriors blurted out worried beeps.

For a bright dragon, he's good at hiding in the dark. Utopia thought as he points his swords at the unknown darkness of the woods. This reminds Utopia of a horror film when he back at his hometown. Those kids didn't make it back home alive.

"So why did you side with the Ordinary, girl?" Photon Dragon's voice is heard.

"I'm with him because he's helping to get my friend back." Tori replied.

"Oh, is he?" Photon Dragon said, "And you, Utopia, why are you helping her?"

Before Utopia can answer, Photon Dragon appeared out of nowhere and try to strike Tori but Utopia push Tori out of the way and took the attack instead. Photon Dragon scratch his enemy leaving a big claw mark on Utopia's chest. Utopia attempts to strike Photon Dragon but Photon Dragon returns into hiding.

"Quit hiding, you coward!" Utopia yelled, "If you want to know why I'm helping her, here's why."

"I'm listening." Photon Dragon's voice said.

"I accidently let her best friend get captured by an unknown enemy." Utopia exclaimed, "I was reckless. I need to fix I did wrong."

"So you admit you are a fool." Photon Dragon's voice rang again. Photon Dragon sprang again and attack Utopia. This time the Galaxy-Eyes hit Utopia by the head, damaging some of the head gear. At that moment, Alpha decided this is the perfect opportunity to strike and jumps at Photon Dragon to take a slash at him. But Photon Dragon dodged the attack and hid once more.

Utopia recovered from the blow and remains silent and try to hear Photon Dragon's footprints. He hears nothing. Come on, Utopia. Listen harder! Utopia thought as he slams his swords on the ground. Tori tries to get up but Utopia signal her not to. The Magnet Warriors also remained silent to try to hear Photon Dragon. Utopia couldn't hear nothing. Then he hears some rustling from the trees. Photon Dragon is hiding among the trees! He needs to strike there now!

Utopia grabs one of his blades and swipe an energy slash at a tree. Photon Dragon escapes from the attack by flying out of the tree. As his skin lights up to fly, Gamma grabs Alpha and Beta and flies up to the dragon. Gamma lets go of his load and Alpha slashes Photon Dragon's left arm while Beta shoot magnetic pulses at his wings.

With his wings shot, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon falls to the ground but Utopia, with amazing speed, catches Photon Dragon. Photon Dragon scramble to get from the Number Warrior's grasp and was free from him without struggle.

"Why did you catch me?" Photon Dragon hissed as he grab his wound arm.

"I can't just let you fall." Utopia replied.

Photon Dragon just snickered and says, "I could never know why a Ordinary like you would save my ass. You would gain from my fall is my possible death. "

"That ain't my nature." Utopia replied.

"Then you won't survive in this land for very long." Photon Dragon said.

"I survived in Extraordinary land for more than seven months and I'm still standing!" Utopia said, "You used fear tactics. I fight against my opponent's up close. The only time you do it is when you are trying to prove you are superior than any other person in the world while your opponent is weakened. From the way you're fighting, I figure you are nothing but a coward."

"A coward?!" Photon Dragon roared, "You dare to call me coward!"

"Does hiding in the dark forest and never face your opponent counts for cowering?" Tori said, "You're scared of getting beat!"

"Shut up, bitch!" Photon Dragon roared, "No one is asking you!"

"She's right." Utopia said as Photon Dragon gave him with a death look, "You're afraid of getting beat judging from your tactics. Was your defeat in the other world too much for you? It's just one defeat, get a grip."

"But you're an ….." Photon Dragon said.

"Ordinary." Utopia finished the sentenced, "I know. But do I look like the stories described? You are fueled by revenge by your defeat. No one is invincible. I'm not invincible. In order to prove this….." Utopia throws his sword down and reverts to his human form, "You'll get your chance to kill me."

Tori and the three Magnet Warriors look at him as he is crazy. Photon Dragon look at him the same and says, "You're tricking me! Theres no way you're giving up this easy."

"Just take a shot at it." Jake said as he turns to Tori and the three Magnet Warriors, "Don't worry. I'll be fine." He turns to the Galaxy-Eyes and says, "All right, take your best shot."

"With the pleasure." Photon Dragon said as his mouth is begins to be full of energy. Photon Dragon is glad he will kill this Ordinary nobody. He was going to beat him without him trying to defend himself. But what is this feeling….

The Galaxy-Eyes fires but not at Jake but at the tree next to him. The trunk of the tree was incinerated as the rest of the tree fell down. Jake look at the fallen tree and turn back at the dragon. "What happen to 'You, Number 39: Utopia, are the Ordinary that I must seek and kill.'"

Photon Dragon turns around and walks away. "I'll get you sooner or later. Just wait. Next time when we meet again, I won't be giving you this much mercy." The Galaxy-Eyes disappear in the shadows of the forest.

"What was all that about?" Tori asked.

"I don't know." Jake said as he picks up his weapons, "I guess despite of his method of battle, he too got some code." He dismiss his weapons but grab his chest from the damage done by Photon Dragon. His front shirt as well as his arm is covered in blood.

Tori saw this and type a couple of buttons on her phone. She took a picture and a pink spell circle appears in top of Jake. The spell circle rained down pink sparkles which landed on Jake. Jake's wound disappears when the sparkle got on the wound.

"Thanks." Jake thanked as he got back up.

"You're welcome." Tori said, "We need to go back."

"I know lets go." Jake said as he turns to the three Magnet Warriors.

The group decide to retrace their steps to get back to camp. As the group got back to camp, they can see the fire and hear the chatter between the warriors and the fiend.

"Have you guys ever went to that place with the bad-smelling fruit, the broken vases, and the messed up dung." Zubaba General asked.

"Goblin's housekeeping store." Summoned Skull answered, "Bunch of crap that store sells."

"I get ripped of in that store a lot." Gauntlet Launcher said, "How come its still in operation?"

Gigo,holding a sleeping Kisara, turns to see Jake, Tori, and the three Magnet Warriors entering the camp. Summoned Skull turned as well. "So thats where you were." Summoned Skull said to Tori, "Where have you been?"

"Following me." Jake replied to the question.

"What happen to you, Jake?" Gagaga Cowboy asked as he notice Jake's ripped shirt, "We heard a tree fall down."

"We got attacked…" Jake said, "by a dragon." Everyone looked at Jake, Tori, and the Magnet Warriors. "A dragon known as Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon."

"Photon Dragon?" Excalibur said in shock, "Where do I know the term "Photon" before?"

"It doesn't matter." Summoned Skull said as he turns to Jake, "What happen to him and why he attack you all?"

"We manage to hold our ground and cause damage to him." Jake replied, "He retreated on his own will. The reason he attacked us is me and him have a history at the dream world."

"Our dreams." Summoned Skull said, "Our dreams is a doorway to another world. It may lead to happiness with our friends or creates enemies. Theres no way you can predict who you face nor evade it. You just have fun doing it."

"For a dull, tough fiend, you promote fun." Skill Gainer said.

"For the moment." Summoned Skull said as he sat down.

"Well at least you'll all still standing." Gagaga Cowboy said as Tori sat next to him, "If anything happen to my niece under your protection Jake, you'll be in the deadliest rodeo of your life."

"Noted." Jake said as he sat down to Gigo and grab Kisara from him.

For the rest of the night, the group talk about some stuff. As the group talks, Jake wonders when he will tell Summoned Skull of his past.

At another part of the forest, Photon Dragon walks to an unknown destination. Wait, I don't have a home. Photon Dragon thought, Why that Number Ordinary call me a coward? I work proudly. I am proud.

Then Photon Dragon stopped for a second. He did try to attack a girl but the Ordinary boy protected her. Not only that, the boy also saved him from a gruesome fall. What does that mean to him? That question pondered in the dragon's head. But the only way to find Utopia now is to sniff. Photon Dragon turns back and try to keep distance from the Ordinary and his friends. He needs to know why.
