I hope you all enjoyed chapter 1 and that you'll further enjoy chapter 2. I'm considering redoing chapter 2 after a couple of weeks and changing the names of all the places in the story to actual places to provide a better story line. Also one of the reviewer brought up that Lunar was the smaller planet and the Blue Star is the larger one, yes I know that but the game never states which one is Earth. Chapter 4 will give a long explanation on the history of how Lunar became Earth, at least in my story anyways. There is a reason for this so don't flame me about it k? Oh and Nall will be making an appearance much later on in the story as will Hiro, Ruby, and the other characters. This is going to be a huge story so be patient.
Also for you readers any text in italics is thought so "I said hi" is the character thinking that. Enjoy and please review.
-General Dragon
Chapter 2
He must have compassion
"The Dragonmaster must be caring and loving. While he must be just, he must also feel compassion for the one he brings justice. Without compassion, there is no hope for Lunar." –Ancient Book, 'List Of The Dragon'.

Sion couldn't sleep. Words kept flowing through his head as he sat wide-awake in his bed. With a smile on his face, he heard them repeating in his mind over and over. "…how about we be friends, for right now."
"…it means that she's thinking it over, and that she wants to get to know you better first. Then she'll want you!"
Sion could barely believe it himself. He went from having no chance with Amy, to having a better chance with her than any other guy on the planet. He was completely out of his depression, and frankly, he couldn't wait for the next day.
"Maybe I should ask her to a movie, or maybe we could go to the mall, there's got to be something we could do…" Sion didn't realize he was drifting into sleep.
The next day came just like any other, except that Sion was happy to see it. He jumped out of bed, got dressed, rushed out the door, and was speeding down the road before his mom could even say good bye.
Yates St. Outside of Sion's School, 7:45 AM
************************************************************************
"I can't wait, it won't be much longer," Sion thought to himself as he sped past everyone on the street, keeping an eye out for cops as he went. He was at school in a record 10 minutes. Just as soon as he was able to park the car, he rushed up into the school building, but no one was there.
"Huh?, its 7:40… where is everyone?" Sion noticed one of his teachers down the hall, and he ran up to him.
"Mr. F, where is everyone?"
"Sion? What are you doing here?" the teacher got a surprised expression on his face.
"I'm here for school, what else?"
"Well I'm afraid your just going to have to wait two days until you come back… It's a Saturday morning, you should be sleeping in."
Sion felt like slapping himself. He had thought so much about Amy last night that he had completely forgot it was Saturday today.
"Um, Mr.F, where's the school directory?"
"In Mrs. Shingles' office."
"Thanks!"
Sion dashed off to the office and picked up the school directory. He quickly looked up Amy's number, and called her up using the school phone.
~Ring Ring Ring
~Ring Ring Ring
~Ring…."Hello?"
"Hi, may I speak to Amy?"
"Sure, can I ask who's calling?"
"Sion Nickson."
"Sure hold on a second. AMY!! Phone call!"
~Couple seconds go bye.
"Hello?" a somewhat weary voice answers.
"Hey Amy, what's up?" Sion was really nervous and was on the verge of stuttering every word.
"Sion!, hey, what's up? I was hoping you'd call," suddenly the tiredness in Amy's voice left, and her normal one returned.
"Oh, ok uh, I was uh, wondering if you'd like to do something with me today?" Sion felt a little more confident after hearing Amy's words.
"Sure! Do you know where I live?" Sion scanned the directory again.
"Yeah, 6790 Stonecircle Dr."
"Cool, alright, just come on by around ten and pick me up ok?"
"Sure no problem, see you soon."
"Later."
~Click.
With that the conversation ended, and Sion stood up. He slowly walked out of the office and headed out of the school. Once outside, he got down on his knees and yelled towards the sky.
"THANK YOU!!! THIS IS THE DAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL MY LIFE!!!" Sion then regained himself when he noticed several teachers had opened their doors, and were staring at him like he was mad. Sion ran down towards the library to get directions to Amy's house, and to plan their "outing."
Sion came up with a very detailed plan, as well as obtaining directions to Amy's house within a couple of minutes. He thought no one had seen him but didn't notice the figure in the shadows.
"Ok lets see, first we'll head to the park and walk around, then we'll hit the mall for a quick lunch and probably walk around to shop a bit. Then we can go to a movie, and top it all off with watching the sunset at the observation deck at the airport. "Heh, what could possibly go wrong?" he thought to himself. Suddenly he felt a large, sweaty hand on his shoulder. Sion jumped and slowly turned around, only to see Mr. Ritz.
"Mr. Nickson, I do hope we're using the Internet for academic purposes," he had caught Sion in the act.
"Oh yes sir, very academic!" Sion replied.
"Good then, carry on," Sion let out a sigh of relief, and went to the door.
"Sometimes that guy just freaks me out. He must have been a former CIA agent or something to sneak up on me like that," Sion thought to himself.
He quickly jumped into his car to grab some breakfast before he went to Amy's house.
…Back in the Ancient Temple, Japan, Hiroshima Prefecture
************************************************************************
Two men dressed in brown robes are sitting at a table talking, one of which is the man who led the meeting the previous night.
"Brother John, what is to happen now? Are we to find the boy ourselves?" the man on the left asked.
"No brother Frank. Lucia must first appear to him."
"But then what? Are we not supposed to teach him the ways?"
"Yes, but he must travel a great distance, to Japan. Lucia has written in the Ancient Book that in June of the two thousand and third year of Earth, or the five thousand and third year of Lunar, that the boy will be in the ancient water temple here. That is where we are to teach him."
"But there is little time. Virgo's followers are already appearing in great numbers since his release three years ago. We can't detect them since they blend in."
"Calm yourself brother. All will happen according to plan. Virgo has not come to earth yet, for he does not have enough energy to make it here."
"I hope your right."
"…Have faith"
…Back in the US
************************************************************************
Sion had finished breakfast, and was en route to Amy's house. Although he had received those directions from the school, he had found a way to get himself lost.
"Where the heck am I? Let's see…" he pulled the directions back out of his pocket. "Ok, I took the right on Glock St., and then the left on Timber, so why the?… oh." Under his finger Sion noticed the missed street.
"Ok, I need to backtrack and speed on through. No problem."
Amy's House, 9:50 AM
************************************************************************
Amy stood by her door looking at her watch. It was only 9:50, but she was still pacing back and forth trying to figure out what to do.
"Ok now Amy girl, calm down. We already explained to him that were only friends, but maybe I shouldn't have added that 'for now' part, but he is really sweet. Shoot I can't even understand my self right now."
Amy continued to walk back and forth waiting for Sion, looking at her watch every minute or so. Her two sisters walked up to her.
"Amy what are you doing?"
"Nothing Issy, just head on back to wherever you where."
Her sister walked back to the living room, while the other, whom Amy hadn't yet noticed, was hiding behind a plant.
"Where is he? It's ten o' five."
Sion's car pulled up into Amy's driveway. Sion ran up the sidewalk and leaned over to knock on the door when it opened for him. Losing his balance, he fell in.
"Ow! That's gotta hurt! You ok Sion?" Amy squatted down, looking at Sion, trying to hold back a laugh.
"Yeah I'm fine. Watch that first step, it's a dozy!" Sion got up, shook off the pain. Amy started laughing.
"Where to first, mamm? Your transport awaits," Sion held his hands out towards the door. Amy went along with the joke and walked out the door with her nose in the air. Sion walked Amy to the car and opened the door to the front passenger seat, allowing her to get in. Sion then ran around and got in the drivers seat.
"Soooo… Where to first?" Sion looked over at Amy as she tried to make a decision.
"Hmm, it is still kinda early for anything to be open."
An idea popped into Sion's head, "Hold up, I've got an idea if you're game. You want to go walk around the park until the mall opens?"
"Yeah sure, why not? It's nice out anyways."
Sion backed out of the driveway and went down the road towards the park. Both he and Amy didn't notice Amy's little sister watching them from the porch.
Meanwhile back in Sion's car, Amy and Sion were starting to talk.
"So how's your day been?" Sion asked nervously.
"It's hardly started, Sion," She looked over at him and smiled, "But it's good so far."
"Heh, yeah, guess so."
North County Park, 10:20 AM
************************************************************************
"I was so out of it this morning that I actually went to school looking for you. Can you believe that?"
"You actually went to school on Saturday? That's hilarious! You must have not been thinking at all!" she chuckled.
"Yeah, you should have seen the look on Mr. F's face when I ran into him in the hallway. He could barely believe I was there, or maybe because I was there so early."
They both smiled and gave a laugh at Sion's joke as they pulled into the parking lot of Shell Park.
"Man I used to come here all the time when I was little," Amy said as she stretched her arms out.
"Wish I did too, but instead my mom and grandmother always took me to the mall so they could go shopping."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, weird isn't it?"
"No, that's great… So you grew up in a mall?"
"It's not as great as you make it out to be, but hey, it sure was different. So where did you use to go here in the park?"
Amy grabbed Sion's arm and pulled him down a path till they got to a small sandbox with a small wooden play area in it.
"This is where I use to play a lot. It was tons of fun!"
Amy ran over to the sand and sat down, looking up at the old wooden fort. Sion walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulders. He whispered in her ear.
"You know no one's around. Care to relive some childhood memories?"
Amy giggled a little and then whispered back, "Sure."
Sion stood up and pulled Amy up with him, "Alright then,…you're it!" Sion ran off to the wooden fort with Amy behind him.
"You cheater! Get back here!"
They played around for a couple hours, ending with Sion falling off the wooden fort as he fled from Amy.
"Ow, that's the second time today."
Amy ran over to him unable to speak, since she was laughing her head off.
"HAHA! Sion are you, haha, all right?"
"Yeah, but I think there are other places we could go that are open now. Where do you want to go now?"
"Well we got to relive part of my past, so let's go relive part of yours at the mall."
"Alright"
North County Vally Mall, 11:15AM
************************************************************************
Sion walked Amy around the mall, showing her where all the old stores use to be, and where he use to go. He even pointed out some old pictures the mall had on display of how it used to look. After the "tour," Sion took Amy to eat at the German restaurant where he asked her out.
"You know even though this isn't a date, it sure is fun," Amy thought.
"Well that's pretty much it for the mall, and it's getting kinda late. It's already 4." Sion noticed that Amy seemed to go from happy to depressed at that statement, "but that doesn't mean that this is over yet," Sion quickly added.
"So what are we going to do now?" Amy asked.
Sion got a smirk on his face, remembering his plan. If they caught a 4:30 movie, then they'd still have time to go watch the sunset. Sion quickly pulled out a movie listing out of his pocket and read aloud the movie listings.
"So which movie do you want to go watch? My treat of course."
"How about Bad Boys II?"
"Alright, lets see… It starts in ten, let's get over there!"
The next four hours went by quickly for Sion. They went to the movie, only to find a huge line for it, and luckily they only missed the previews. After the movie was over, they went to the pizza parlor next door and grabbed some dinner. Soon Sion and Amy were once again in his small Jetta that Sion called his car, and were speeding down the beltline.
"Sion, where are we going?" Amy asked a little hesitant.
"Some place special," Sion answered as he took the exit towards the airport.
CRA International Airport, Observation Deck, 7:56 PM
************************************************************************
"Sion come on, tell me."
"Just wait, it's a surprise!" Sion pulled into the airport's outside observation deck.
"Where's this?" Amy really didn't understand this, but she followed Sion up the ramp to what appeared to be some viewing area.
"Welcome to the CRA International Airport Observation deck," Sion ushered her to the front of the railing, allowing her a glimpse of the taxiway as a huge 757 went by.
"Sion, this is unbelievable!" Amy was in awe at the sight. The sun gleamed off the planes as they went by, "But why here?"
"I come here a lot."
"So this place is special to you?"
"Yeah, I plan to be a pilot when I grow up."
"Wow, that should be neat."
"Yeah, well I hope so. Look Amy, I remember what you said about being friends and..."
"Sion, don't ruin the moment," Amy drew Sion into a hug, "I'll always be your friend, let's just enjoy what we have right now, ok?"
Sion could barely respond because he was no longer focusing on the real world, "O…..K…"
They sat there for about two hours watching the sunset and the planes go by.
Preview For Chapter 3
"SHE WHAT!!!!", Sion yelled.
"Yeah, she said about some guy she met at from Cardinals after we left yesterday," Jeff told Sion.
Sion could barely believe what he heard, he had to see it for himself.
