And thanks for ideas that were given to me by some. A little heads up people this chapter will be short like the first know what I own and what I don't own. Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

( Origins)

( New Moon Castle)

The castle members had all gather together for a meeting, everyone except Shadow of course. A. Kite was still a little uncomfortable with the whole thing but everyone assured him otherwise. The meeting started ten minutes ago and still Shadow hadn't shown up and Dark was beginning to get annoyed.

" Where the hell is he!" Dark had lost his patients.

" Calm down Dark before you end up freezing the place to death." Elk tried to calm Dark down because he knew just how dangerous Dark gets when he's mad. He was like Tsukasa when he lost his temper.

" No! I mean come on! We all gather her for a fucking meeting and still he hasn't show a single......" Dark was cut off by a new voice.

" Will you quiet down Dark. Sometimes I think your not being loud enough." Shadow appeared being sarcastic with his friend.

" Shut the fuck up!" Dark was glaring daggers at him. " We're here to discuss matters of the mission and you don't even care! What the fuck is wrong with you!" he sneered.

Shadow frowned he really wasn't expecting an outburst from his friend " Do you not trust me Dark?"

"W-Wha...?" Dark was taken back.

Shadow sighted " I said, do you not trust me at all? After all we been together since I save you from your imprisonment and you never doubted me. Out of all the people in this room you should be the one that trust me one hundred percent. Right, Bro?" he said calmly looking at his friend.

Dark felt ashame " Sorry." he mutter. " Your right. I don't know what came over me." he averted his eyes to the floor. He couldn't look at Shadow because of his brash behavior.

Dark felt a hand on his shoulder and look up to see Shadow with a soft smile on his face " It's ok. I understand. After all what kind of friend would I be if I didn't know you.". Dark smiled, he felt relieve. " Ok so, whats this meeting about?" Shadow asked.

" Well we were going to discuss how to retrieve the treasures from the Loser Knights and how the heck are we going to find 'The Sphere of New Beginnings'."Dark informed.

Shadow chuckle earning some odd looks from his teammates " Lets just focus on finding the sphere. The treasures will be our in due time."

" Um....Aren't you worry about it? I mean....they are thought to beat." Azure said.

Shadow simply chuckle again " My friend Azure, you don't have to worry about it. I'll tell you what I have plan to retrieve it. For now lets just look for the sphere and let them enjoy their little victory."

Dark smirked " Shadow you are terrible".

Shadow smirked back " I know.". With that said they headed out.

( Mac Anu: Raven's at Home)

The group were celebrating their recent victory thanks to none other than Shugo. Said person was enjoying the attention to the point of gloating, but Rena put an end to that with a quick punch in the face. Everyone was enjoying themselves and even Tsukasa seemed to be enjoying himself, which was rare. Kite on the other hand was not. Their recent victory has just reminded him how terrible he had treated Elk because they have failed to retrieve the treasure ' I'm a complete asshole. Dammit! Why couldn't I control myself!'. His thoughts were interrupted when Zelkova spoke, wanting the attention of the group.

" Alright everyone listen! I did a little research on the people who have the ability to summoned the avatars, just so you know. We all know Haseo and his group and his group are able to summoned avatars and everyone is present here, with the exception of Elk." Kite finch when he said that " But now here's the information I gather on the newly revealed avatars. Lets Start with Kite's. His avatars name is Cubia Omega, Haseo's Cubia to be exact, is an avatar with tremendous strength and has the ability to command fire. It's huge dragon wings can create strong winds, and to top it all up it can also summoned a fire sword to deliver a devastating blow on its enemy. His data drain also packs a punch, he can also hit multiple enemies with his attacks."

' Well isn't he smart. Give the kid a cookie for his efforts' Cubia Omega said with sarcasm.

' Shut it!' Kite snapped.

' Alright, alright! Geesh! What's gotten up your ass?.' he said as he once again disappeared into Kite's mind. Said person decided to ignore the question.

" Next one in the list its Tsukasa's avatar." Tsukasa paid close attention to this, " Its name is Sirius . This avatar specialize in speed and powerful spells, so its suit you very well Tsukasa. He posses every element as his weapon in his arsenal. It also has the ability to create copies of himself and was refer to as the lord of the night and consider a deity among the legends of 'The World'."

" Interesting" Tsukasa said.

" Now for Shugo's avatar."

"The best one of them all!" Shugo said with pride until he was smack in the head by Tsukasa. ' Dammit! He got him first.' Rena thought disappointed.

" As I was saying, Shugo's avatar is known as Raviel, lord of the skies. Like Sirius he is consider a deity among the legends and rules the skies in the heavens above. It has healing abilities, which explain how we were able to move after he appeared in the battle with the guardian, and he depends on is speed and agility to defeats his foes."

Shugo had sparkling eyes " Awsome! I have the best avatar! Now I know why Tsukasa hit me, its because he's jealous of my avatar. Don't worry thou, yours its still cool."

Everyone sweat drop at this and Rena was mortify " Please kill me." she murmur and Tsukasa, out of pity, pated her on her back.

Kite spoke again " Ok. That explain a lot about our avatars. But do you know anything about Shadow's avatar and Azure Kite's?" this got everyones attention.

Zelkova sighted " Yes...". He took a deep breath and spoke again " A. Kite avatar is known as The Azure Flame God. You all know the name from the mythology of 'The World' right?" . Everyone nodded " Enough said, he's very powerful. Now this is the information you, Kite, are more interested about. Shadow's avatar, well he revealed his name in the battle against Azure Flame God, is named Alvatros. Now I did more research about him and found something about him like the rest of you guys with avatars. Alvatros is known as one of the three dragon gods that created the whole universe and life. Alvatros is the dragon god of darkness and the creator of life, he had immense power and complete control over the darkness."

" Creator of life itself?! That's not good. That means we are dealing with a being greater than a deity." Ovan stated while Zelkova nodded his agreement.

" Wait you said he was one of three gods, right?" Haseo said.

Zelkova look at him and said " Yes, why?".

Haseo continue " Well, why can we get the other two to help us? I mean if Alvatros was turn into an

avatar, then the other two must have become avatars as well, right?"

Zelkova looked down " Unfortunately no. Alvatros is the last of his kinds." as he said this he saw the shock faces of the others and decided to explain. " See the story is like this:"

In the beginning of time itself .... when the universe was just beginning to form from the void of nothingness, three beings were born in different parts of the universe. From the light of a star a white creature emerges. It was white and majestic, its wing where cover in white feathers and each time he flapped them beautiful sparkles of light came from them. His eyes were ocean blue. He had two front claws and back legs that he use to support himself. His skin seemed to glow a beautiful white light and he move with grace. He descended to one of the floating rock to look at his surrounding, it was all new to him and had no memory whatsoever. How could he, he was just born. The only thing that seemed to come to his mind was a name: Sora.....dragon god of light. Suddenly curiosity hit his interest and decided to explore the universe and its different realms.

At the same time another being was born from the explosion of a star. The creature emerged during the explosion and flew away from it. The creature was reptilian looking and the color of his scales was gold. His long arms was his wing, they looked bat like. His eyes were chocolate brown. He moved with ease and speed away from the catalystic explosion and descended on a rock to look at the fallen star. He was amazed by the beauty of the fire and how the light slowly faded into darkness. The fire slowly died until only the ashes remain. ' Ash.....hm....I like that. Yeah! That will be my name Ash!' Suddenly something game to his mind, a voice that said: Ash.....dragon god of twilight. He was confused but decided to ignore it. " Hm...I should be careful and study my surrounding.......Nah I'll just wing it!" with that he flew of into the realms.

In another section of the universe another creature came to be at the same time. A black whole was destroying anything that came near it and trapping everything, including the light. From its depth a creature emerge from its center and forced itself out it. By doing so the creature destroyed the dark void itself, however the darkness still lingered in himself. The creature had a serpentine body and his scale were bitch black. He had four pair of black feathered wings. His eyes were yellow and glowed eerily. His arm were short but his claw were sharp and his leg gave him enough support to stand and move. His flying style was like the movement of a snake. He heard a voice in his head that revealed his name and who he was: Alvatros.....dragon god of darkness. He took the information in and move out to explore the endless darkness of space. He found comfort in it and headed toward an unknown destination.

Many years passed and the three were oblivious to each other existence. Ash was roaming another realm, bored out of his mind " Huh....there is not much to do or see. This is so boring!" he said to himself. Suddenly something got his attention, in the corner of his eyes he saw something laying on one of the many asteroids. It was something big like himself and emitted a black aura and had a serpentine body. He knew it was a creature like himself, a dragon, and it seemed he was resting peacefully. He was so caught up by his discovery that he didn't notice another dragon, that wasn't paying attention, approaching him from behind until he crash in to the golden dragon.

" Ouch! Hey, what's the big idea?!" Ash was now pissed off.

"Sorry, I wasn't...." the other dragon looked at the golden dragon in awe " Hey! Your like me!" he said excitedly.

Ash turned around to look at the one who bump into him and indeed it was like him, or class to better say. The other dragon was white and each flap of his wings released light particles " Hey your right! My name is Ash, dragon god of twilight." he said this with pride " What's yours anyway?"

"Oh, right!" he laughed sheepishly " I am Sora, dragon god of light."

" So your a god too, huh? I wonder wish one of us is stronger" Ash said with a smirk.

Sora had a smirk of his own " Yeah, I wonder who." he said playfully. Both were about to go at it until Sora's eyes landed on the sleeping dragon " Hey, what's that Ash?'

Ash turned to look at what Sora was pointing at. It was the sleeping dragon he found earlier " Oh yeah! I found him like that a few seconds before you bump into me."

" Do you think he's a god too?" Sora asked, once again curious .

" Only one way to find out." Ash said heading straight for the sleeping beast.

" W-Wait! It could be dangerous!" he follow soon after the other.

Ash slowly approach the being. The dragon was as big as them but larger, he began to poke it to see what happened . " Hm?"

Sora saw what he was doing and began to panic " What are you doing?! Are you always this brash?!"

" Yeah. Besides it's not waking up. Aren't you curious of what this thing is?" Ash said while poking the large beast.

" Well......" he slowly approach and join in the poking.

They were both poking and eying the thing before them. They seemed to be having fun by doing so until a voice spoke " You have seconds to stop poking me before I eviscerate you!" the voice snarled.

The other two jump up startled. The black dragon rose from his position eying the two dangerously. Ash and Sora gulped at his stared. " Hey there! My name is Sora, god of light!" Sora said cheerfully.

Ash soon joined in " And mine's Ash, god of twilight." he said smugly.

The black dragon snorted " Great! I thought I was the only one and I preferred it that way."

" Aw, come on! The first impressions are always important." Sora said to the black dragon.

" Ok then. My first impression of you two is..............I hate you." the other two sweat drop at this. " And besides you two seems like idiots to me."

" Hey!" the both whined.

" Now if you don't mind I'll be going far, far, Far, FAR away from you two as possible." the black dragon said before spreading his eight black wings and took off.

Ash was infuriated " Who does that guy think he is! I should give him a piece of my mind!"

" Calm down." Sora told the other. Ash looked at him confuse, Sora simply smirk " Lets follow him until he cracks. He must be lonely even after what he said. Besides, we can bug him on the way."

Ash smirked back and soon they both trailed behind the serpent dragon. Said creature felt he was being followed, he looked back and to his dismay found the other two dragons right behind him " The hell?! What do you guys think your doing?!" he sneered.

" We're following you, of course! It's a free universe, besides you haven't told us your name." Sora replied.

The dark dragon sighted " It's Alvatros, happy?"

" God of......?" Ash added.

" The darkness. Now, can you leave me alone?" he asked eying the two.

Said dragons pretended to think about it before replying " Nope!"

Alvatros almost pop a vein ' calm down Alvatros they're just some morons you just encounter. You can get through this! Eventually they'll leave you alone.' he said in his head. With a sigh he continue his way, with two annoying dragons following behind.

A few centuries had passed and Alvatros slowly began to get use to the other two, in fact he started thinking fondly of them, which frighten him. During the long period they learned to control their powers, along with messing somethings up, and got along better. They were like brothers with Alvatros being the responsible one while the other two messed up something. They travel together from realm to realm and, dare one say it, were comfortable in each others presence. On one occasion they battle each other to see who was stronger which Alvatros emerge victorious, much to Ash's dismay. He explained that he was stronger because he draw power from the darkness, which they were surrounded by it. The other two sighted in defeat. On one boring day the other two started to bug Alvatros and whine to him.

" What the hell is wrong with you two?!!!" he roared at the others.

Ash whined " But we're bored!"

" Well, what the hell do you expect me to do about it?!" Alvatros asked incredulously.

Sora, suddenly, got an idea " Guys I know what we can do!!"

" If you want to destroy another realm then forget it! I'm tired of cleaning your messes!" Alvatros replied.

Sora laughed sheepishly " No, no. Let's create something!"

" Yeah!" Ash asked.

" Like what?" Alvatros asked with boredom.

Sora scan the area and notice many asteroids floating around the place. "I know lets joined the asteroids together to form......a big rock!"

" Yeah a big rock!" Ash agreed.

Alvatros sweat drop ' Idiots'. " How about we called it a planet. Sounds better, don't you agree, Ash?"

" Yeah! Lets go with planet!" he replied.

" Ok then!" Sora said happily.

The three focus their energy and moved the floating asteroids into place until a huge sphere was created. The other two looked at it with pride, while Alvatros looked at it with boredom.

" Well that was a waste of time." he said.

" Well, lets keep at it. Lets keep creating stuff for our planet. You know make it beautiful and such." Sora answered.

" Alright then lets get to it!" Ash cheered.

" Why do you always agree with whatever Sora say?" Alvatros asked in an annoyed tone.

" He sometimes agrees with you too, right Ash?" Sora replied.

" Right!" was his answer.

Alvatros eye twitch at Ash's density " I rest my case."

The three dragons then began to work on their creation. Sora created a fire sphere in the sky to light up the shallow world. In addition he created the land and trees and such to decorate the place. Needless to say the place became more lively. Ash created the seas, rivers, and oceans the refresh the lands when it became to hot to bear because of the heat coming from the sphere in the sky, and created the skies and clouds to decorate the heavens above, the planet was beginning to look beautifully.

" Wow, this place look great!" Ash said.

" Yeah. It looks beautiful." Sora agreed. Sora turned to Alvatros, who hadn't done anything but kept a close eye on the two in case they messed up, had a looked in his face " What's the matter Alvatros?"

" I have to admit, you two had done an amazing job with the place. But it seem empty. Ah! I know. My turn to create something. I'll create creatures that will help this place grow and prosper!" he said with excitement. The other two looked at him with astonish faces, it was the first time they seen him so exited about something.

Thus Alvatros created life itself,\ the humans, beasts of the earth, the inhabitants of the skies, and dwellers of the seas. Life was good and the light that Sora has given aloud them to see were to go and help them grow plants and such. But they became exhausted but couldn't rest with the light. Alvatros, with the permission from Sora, brought the shadows to block the light and give them a time to rest. Sora name the time with light day and Alvatros called the time with shadows night. But the sudden change of day and night created some problems and so Ash created the dawn and dusk, a time were it well tell the inhabitants when night would fall and when day would rise. Everything was perfect and the three gods were happy with their work. After all they were best friends the three of them and were very young but powerful. One day Alvatros had to go to another dimension to check the stability of the universe and that when Sora and Ash decided to ask him.:

" Alvatros, before you leave can we ask for your permission to do something." Ash said.

" Oh? What is it?" he asked amused. It was rare his buddies asked him permission to do something.

Sora continue nervously " Well, since you will be gone for a while and we still need help handling this new world. Well......could we create superior beings to help us watch over them?"

Alvatros was taken back " What?! Wouldn't that upset the balance and create distrust among them? After all we did create them but they are the ones that are making and shaping our world. Adding other beings with superior traits might cause a imbalance in the cycle. I don't know." he said thinking this through carefully.

Ash knew this would worry his friend but decided to try to convince him " Do not worry Alvatros. I assured you they will be there to only supervise and watch the other beings. And when you get back you'll see them better than ever. Who knows they even might surprise you!"

" Well........ I always did want to see them happier. Very well yo have my permission. But don't over do it! I know that you two can be knuckle heads most of the time." he said eying the two.

" Hey!" the responded in unison.

Alvatros chuckle " Well see you in a while." The black dragon departed and cross different dimension until he disappeared.

The two look at each other with glee " Well lets do it then! When he gets back hes going to be proud of our work. He's been to stress lately and I'm sure this will take some of it." Sora said.

" You really think so?" Ash asked.

" I'm positive! Now lets get to it!" with that said they created the gods of their world to watch over the creatures inhabiting the place. Everything was going well for some time and it looked like their idea was coming to down perfectly. But some time passed and their plan did not go well and it became their undoing.

Years have pass until Alvatros finally return to the realm he and the other two resided. He expected his comrades to welcome him and through a fit for taking so long, but they were nowhere in sight. ' Hm.....I wonder where those two are' he thought. Suddenly a being appear before him and bowed at him. Alvatros was startle but didn't show it and kept his stoic face.

" Who are you? And what are you doing in this realm?" he asked.

" I am known as the god of judgment my lord." he replied

" Ah. One of my friends beings to maintain order and happiness among my creations. Tell me where are they. I wish to speak to them." Alvatros said to the being.

Said being look at him with shame and sadness " I'm afraid that won't be happening my lord. You see the creatures that inhabit the world you and the other two created rebel against my bretherings. At first we thought we could hold them off and calm them down. But later they capture one of our own, Aura, and use her powers against us wiping all of the gods minus me. My others two lords descended to calm the anger rising from them but......."

" But what?!" Alvatros was now fearing for the worst. He knew something like this could happened but decided to trust the other two.

" The humans and the beast and among others use a cannon that harness the power of the one they capture and use it against the two of them. They did not make it," he said with remorse. " I am truly sorry my lord."

Alvatros was at a loss " How? It's not possible for them to die." he said in disbelief. He suddenly felt a pain in his heart that seemed endless.

" True. But the gods of light and twilight gave us immortality like them. When your creations capture the goddess Aura they were able to counter that and well....that happened." He inform him.

Alvatros felt a deep sorrow for the lost of his two and only friends. They were all he really had, they were his family and his brothers. Not by blood but by soul and heart " What are they doing now?" he asked still in a daze.

" They are heading to the gates of heavens to invade this place, my lord." He informed.

" I'll take care of this" with that he flew to his destination. When he arrived all of his creation, the humans, the beast, birds, and the sea creatures where nearing the gate ready to demolish it. Alvatros appeared from the darkened sky and created a sphere in that moments emanating a beautiful and eerie glow. The attackers stop dead on their tracks fearing for the wors. Alvatros focus some of his energy into the sphere and released a wave of energy headed strait for them. They awaited for death when they saw the wave coming directly at them......but it never came. Instead when it hit they felt like a malice was lifted from them. They where all confuse, one of them actually decided to be brave enough and approach the black dragon who seemed to be in sorrow.

" What happened?" He asked curious.

The curiosity reminded him of Sora. " Yeah! I mean one second we are awaiting to die and no we are not dead? What gives?" another ask joining the first. The brash behavior of this one reminded him of Ash.

" I have destroy your anger and rage and restore you to your true selfs. You, my creations, have wounded me greatly." he said to the two.

" Wh-What? What did we do?" asked the second one, sensing a sasness coming from the great beast.

" Y-Yeah maybe we can fix it." the first added, intending on helping fixing whatever they did.

" There is no way to undo what you have done. You have taken the life of the gods of light and twilight. They were my brothers and the only family I had, not by blood but by heart. Now there gone and all that is left is one if their creations and I." He said with sorrow.

All of the people and creature in that place felt shame for what they did. The first one to approach him spoke " Then...why didn't you kill us? We fail as your creations. What did you do?"

" Yeah. I feel terrible now" the second spoke.

" I created this" he show them s sphere floating between his claw " I call this The Sphere of New Beginnings. I had the power to destroy you and this world would of start a new. But instead I use it to destroy your anger and hatred and made you they way you were in the beginning."

" Why?" The first said.

" We don't deserve it. We took away your only friends and family. How can you forgive us?" the second one added.

" At first I would've destroy you without thought, but those two change me over the centuries we've been together. Now I will leave the sphere under your care, for I see no use to it now. You two will guard this sphere and never let a wicked heart take it. I want you to hide it in a secure place and leave it there for the rest of eternity." as he said this the sphere floated down in front of them, the sphere was big but could be move with the help of some. It was beautiful gem and the power coming from it was immense. The two nodded to the god before them.

" But what will you do now?" the second one said.

" I shall remain dormant for the rest of eternity and leave the fate of this world to you. Farewell." once he said this he opened a portal to another dimension and disappeared, never to be seen again.

"What should we call this place." the second asked the first.

" In my opinion, it doesn't deserve a name. So lets just call it ' The World'." The first answer and everyone nodded before departing with the sphere to start their new life. The sphere was hidden and the location of its whereabouts had been lost in time, many consider it a myth now. And the almighty lord of darkness and last survivor of the three dragon god was never seen again.

Zelkova finish the tale and looked around the room to see everyone present was silent. Some, in the girls and some guys cases, had tears in their eyes, while others were frowning as they were in deep thought. Haseo felt strange at the mention of the name Sora and a sudden pain hit his head but he ignore it. Zelkova decided to finish his explanation " So you see only a wounded soul can actually wield the avatar Alvatros."

" Well Shadow Kite definitely qualifies as such." Fluegel said. " After all anyone who had went through what Shadow has would've ended broken, or worse."

Shugo looked saddened at this. ' He must've been through a lot. I wonder if he'll remember me.' He shook the thought away and continue to listen to the rest.

" Indeed. However I expected the avatar to have a dragonoid form instead of looking like the black knight. In anyways his avatar is very dangerous and powerful. But you guys saw that with the fight of the Azure Flame God, right?" Zelkova said looking at the group.

" If he has a god for an avatar than he's a bigger threat than we thought" Metronome added. Everyone agreed with her.

Just then Fluegel receive an instant message. The group look at him, waiting for him to tell them who it was. Cello decided to ask him " Who is it Fluegel?"

He look serous at his partner " Cellos. Its..........".

Well there you go! I hope that those of you are enjoying the story. Well review if you like and remember no flames. Till next time.
