Well I've recently been told by a few to have KiteXBlackrose thing going on so I have to make an extra chapter (which will be the next one) because originally this one was supposed to be about the three azure knight (kite, balmung, and orca) but now it's cut down to two. Well anyway put on your FMD and let's enter the world!

Azure Knights

A white haired man in his late twenties sat across the table from a giggling girl. The two of them were on a date. "You're so funny" the girl said with a laugh.

"Oh you flatter me" the man replied with a chuckle. The sound of a phone vibrating could be heard. "May you excuse me for a second." The man said before he stood and left the table.

"You wouldn't happen to be another girl now is it?" The girl said jokingly.

"No, I wouldn't dare do such a thing." The man said assuring the girl. 'God I hope it isn't one of the girls.' The man thought to himself as he pulled out his cell phone.

He had a new text message that read, "To the winged one who governs over the azure sky, I have already alerted the leviathan of the azure sea. I the one who you help set free requires your aid. Fianna decedents must ride again."

"What the he-" The man was interrupted by his phone ringing. "Hm? It's Yasuhiko." Answering his phone he heard the voice of his friend in a frantic tone. "Calm down Yasuhiko, what this about a weird message?" The man eyes widened as he listened to his friend. "It seems we both got similar messages. I believe this can't really be a coincidence. I'll meet you later."

The man returned to his table I slightly depressed look on his face. "I'm sorry but I'm afraid we must cut this date short."

"Why?! We just got here!" the girl whined.

"Business you know how it is. I promise I'll make it up to you."

"Fine" the woman pouted.

"See you later" the man said as he gathered his things before leaving the restaurant. "Looks like Balmung of Azure sky will have to spread his wings once more."

An orb of light appeared before the warp gate before blue rings spiral down from it as the form of a white haired man wearing silver armor appeared within. He was a blade brandelier. "Balmung as narcissistic as ever," came a voice accompanied by a chuckle.

The character known as Balmung smiled, he knew who the voice belonged to. "How can you call it narcissism? I just think I should let others see just how much of a man I am while appearing to be a shinning knight. But some of us are a little different aren't we Orca."

The man known as Orca stepped forward, he was a rough looking man with large muscles, and his body was covered by white and green body paint. His armor consisted of a buckler and a plated skirt. He was an edge punisher. "Looks aside it seems to that we have a job to do."

"But what?" Balmung had a concerned look on his face as a bell chimed.

They had new flash mail. It read "The area that only could be cleared by you no longer exists. Yet the memory of your great battle still remains, only a fleeting memory it was recalled. The dragon has been reborn. Head to Delta hidden forbidden bulwark and witness it's power shinning light before it is dimmed. Go see The One Sin."

"The One Sin?" Orca mouthed weakly.

"Could it be 'that' One Sin?" Balmung was sweating.

"There's no way we can beat it in our current state. But…" Orca's voice trailed off.

"We have to go because 'she' asked."

As Balmung turned to key in the keywords a shout sounded above the crowd. "There you are you winged bastard!"

Balmung turned around knowing that even though now he lacked wings he could be the only one this person was referring to. "I'm sorry but as you can see I have no wings. And wings in The World that's impossible." Balmung chuckled. "I mean really would CCcorp. have a one time event where one could obtain such a legendary item that allowed their character wings? I don't think so." He attitude was filled with cockyness.

"I heard from the girls around hear that a white haired man in silver armor logged in and that cocky attitude only proves that you're the same man from long ago." Spoke a man in all yellow with long blue hair, he was a steam gunner. "Balmung of Azure sky we'll finally put to rest our rivalry, right here right now!" The mentioning of Balmung's name and title caused whispers to spread throughout the crowd. The whisperers were either remnant players of R:1 or people who read about him on the BBS.

"A friend of your Balmung" Orca asked with a cocked brow.

"You who claim to be my rival…" Balmung looked back at the steam gunner, a stern look on his face. "…Who the hell are you?"

"What?!" The steam gunner nearly tripped. "How can you not remember me?! Back in R:1 we were sworn enemies in battle and in the art of love! It's me Sieg!"

"I'm sorry but I don't remember you. Well see you later." Balmung turned to the chaos gate and warped him and Orca to there destination.

"Don't log out when I talking to you, you bastard! Get back here damn it!" But it was no use the steam gunners taunts went unanswered.

"There you go again always making enemies with the male players" Orca said with a sigh as he entered the area that was a cliff before a giant stone wall.

"It's not my fault they easily become jealous of my…" Balmung's voice trailed off as his body froze in place.

"What is it?" Orca gazed in the same direction and his body stopped moving as if under some spell. The reason why they stood frozen was because before them was a giant dragon of white with several wings of light each wings radiated light of every color imaginable. It was the spectrum dragon that they once defeated. It was…The One Sin.

Balmung's mouth moved but it was unable to form words as he looked on in disbelief. It was the very beast that him and Orca slew several years ago giving them their fame and their titles. As Balmung looked on something white entered his field of vision. It was a feather an angel's feather.

Gazing upward they found where there feather had come from. In fact hundreds of feathers seemed to be falling from a gapping hole in the sky. In the center he could see a figure as if it was floating down from the sky. They focused and could see that the figure wore silver armor similar to Balmung and had the same hair. When the figure touched down they could see what looked to be the remnants of broken wings protruding from its back.

"What in gods name…" Was all Balmung could say before he was interrupted by a rumbling sound.

"What now?" Orca asked if thing could get any weirder.

Right next to the man with broken wings the heart began to crack before exploding upward. Within the center of the destruction the figure of a man with crossed arms rose from the ground. He wore the same armor as Orca. Both of them drew their sword and charged at the twilight dragon. It was then that they realized that those two being were them!

"Orca, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Balmung's voice sounded strained.

"Yeah but who are those people? Why do they look like us?" Orca's voice sounded weak as well.

"That not all, look closer" Balmung's comment somewhat startled Orca who looked on at the battle that ragged in front of them. "If you look closely this battle were watching now is…an exact replica of the one we fought long ago!"

And sure enough it was true. For as they spoke the dragon fired a beam that struck and killed the one who looked similar to Orca but within seconds the character that looked like Balmung revived his fallen friend.

A smirk appeared on Balmung's face. "Now this is the part…"

"Where we start fighting back!" Orca finished his thought as they watched the two begin casting magic that was countered by the dragon until the clone of Balmung lunged forward for a direct attack dealing damage to the dragon!

The battle continued to wage the pair slowly chipped away at the dragons hp and within minutes it reached zero and the dragon fell.

"Did you see how I took that dragon down?!" Balmung said exited over his watching their victory.

"What do you mean you're victory? I helped out a lot too." Orca argued. It was true, without him Balmung would have never won.

"But who got the ultra rare item in the end? Me." Balmung said smugly. However their celebration was ephemeral as the look a like pointed their blades at them as they made a hissing sound.

"So you're looking for a fight?" Balmung said with a smirk as he drew his sword.

"Don't you know cheap copies can't beat the original?" Orca drew his sword as well. "Let's go!" They both shouted in unison ash they charged at their own copies.

Balmung swung his blade at his copy only to have blade meet blade in a struggle for the upper hand. Balmung shifted to the side throwing his opponent off before he swung his sword at the fake only to have it jump over the blade. "Got you!" with a smirk he swung his sword again only for the fake to dodge it again by lifting his self into the air with his broken wings. "Damn it" He swore as he blocked a kick from the fake only have to have to parry a slash from his sword.

Balmung lunged back at the fake and slashed unrelenting at the fake only to have each and every blow blocked or countered. He looked over to see that Orca was struggling just as much as him.

However Orca was way worse off. Even though the class of an edge punisher was the only class similar to his original class, there was too much of a difference between him and the man in front of him. The man in front of him, there was no way he could be a edge punisher. The guy in front of him movement were more fluent, closer to a blade brandelier but still packed a punch. His class resembled that of a heavy blade! But for some reason the guy before him seemed to be holding back. Orca moved much slower than him yet all the guy would do was block and counter and when he did go offensive it was only moves Orca could easily block. This guy was toying with him.

Orca jumped into the air, going into a flip he slammed his sword into the earth leaving only destruction in his wake. Orca wished that his copy would lie within the devastation but he was wrong as the fake tried to blind side him, luckily the Orca was quick enough to block the blade, but the blow was strong enough to drive him back. His back met with the hard steal of Balmung's armor.

Both their breathing was ragged as their foes slowly approached. "Were almost at the end of our rope here aren't we Balmung?"

"Never have I met such a powerful foe. It just goes to show that only I can defeat myself." He said with a smirk. "But like they say when fighting in twos and you're separate opens do as you do…"

"Do as the other do, right?" Orca said with a chuckle. "Then lets do this!" They both steeled themselves as there copies lunged at them.

DOUBLE RENGEKI!! They both turned switching opponents, Orca taking the fake Balmung as Balmung took on the fake Orca. "Sword Flash!" Balmung shouted as he activated his skill. He slashed twice as the fake orca before jumping into the air and slashing through him.

"Tiger Blitz" Orca roared as he charged at the fake Balmung he slashed through him twice in a V shape. Both the fakes fell to the ground before slowly disappearing only leaving two orbs of light.

The orbs of light from the fakes entered their respective original. Both Orca and Balmung's character glowed before their weapons shattered before reforming into the curved blades of the fakes. They felt a surge of power rush through them they could feel it their power retuning to them. But with this new found power Balmung received something else, from his back came a burst of white. His wings had returned to him.

"It seems that once again we must ride as Balmung of Azure sky."

"And as Orca of Azure sea."

"We must go to where the goddess awaits" They both said together. "To meet with the one of Azure flame." They both logged out returning to Mac Anu.

"So I see you bastards are back" said the steam gunner. He had apparently waited for them. "Hey wait! What are you-?!" They had switched areas again.

They warped into an area in the center of a lake. The only thing that existed here was a stone structure, Huell Grantz Cathedral.

They pushed their way through the large doors to see two people standing at the alter. A blonde witch in white and a dark haired tanned figure in scale mail. They knew exactly who the two were. "I never thought we'd see you again after you turned us down…Albireo." Called Orca; his voice echoing through out the halls.

Albireo turned to see the approaching pair; the two who he watched clear the event that couldn't be cleared. "What are you two doing here…wait let me guess" he suspected he already knew the answer to his own question. "You received a strange e-mail from the god of this world asking that you return and when you did you went to a area where you were able to regain your powers from R:1, am I right?"

"I see so the same happened to you. I expected no less from my predecessor" Balmung said admirably.

"Predecessor? What do you mean by that?" Albireo asked confused.

"After the awakening of Aura I was offered a job as a system admin by CCcorp. now I understand the situation you were in and couldn't join us." Balmung explained.

Albireo let out a sigh. "Actually that's not fully true. If it was jut because I was a system admin I wouldn't have even teamed up with Hakuto here" he gestured to the girl at his side.

"Oh it's nice to see you again little lady. So I suspect that my guess was right that you had a special relation ship with him." Orca said with a smile.

"Also wrong" Albireo interrupted. "At that time I had no relationship with this women."

"At that time," Hakuto repeated with a smirk.

Albireo let out a sigh. "The reason why I really couldn't party with you was because at the time I was with something of a predecessor…a predecessor of Aura" Albireo face saddened.

"Al…" Hakuto seemed worried.

"Just before I met you guys I recently attempted to delete a vagrant AI that was a girl in red. Her name was Lycoris but she escaped…" he paused recalling the memory. "However I met her again, but she couldn't remember me, it seems she split her data to avoid deletion. So I began to round up her data to put her back together and finish what I started. That's around the time I met you guys."

"You mean that time where you ran off, was that because…" Orca began to question.

"Yes, Lycoris told be to kill the demon to regain her data. And once everything was back together I prepared myself to delete her…but I couldn't do it." Albireo's voice grew week as his face darkened.

"Al…" Hakuto said rushing to his side not only in the digital world but as well as the physical. She too looked distraught.

"That day I learned that all I had done I was wrong. I thought I was doing the right thing, preserving The World from bugs but that day I learned that what appears to be a vagrant AI might be more human than us." Albireo frowned. "She was just a sad and frightened girl who was cast away by the world and when she tried to escape I, the so called good guy, chased her down and killed her." He stood up gathering himself "But it appears that this world is being governed by a new god one who will allow me to repent."

Behind them they could here the churches doors being pushed open. "Oh sorry are we interrupting something?" Came a sweet feminine voice.

See you have your action there. I couldn't really do much with it because well, they were level 1!! They should have died! In fact attempting to block should have broken their weapons. But whatever I'll be able to do a lot more soon. But that's a little while later. Well Narrator, take it away.

Narrator: Next time on 'Heroes of old' it's time for the one known as the knight of Azure of flame to blaze again. But really can an honor student do that much? Not really, unless you had sword wielding girl as your moral support then even an honor student can save the world. Episode 3: 'Azure flame vs. Azure flame,' can kite stand up two himself when he lacks 'that' power?
