(Somewhere in the Wildlands,Crash-Site)
In a clearing,a ship had crashed there scaring away any nearby wildlife and out of the wreckage a door blew open and flew into the air across the clearing before crashing down into the ground creating a small crater. From the spot of the wreckage,where the door use to be climbed out three men,specifically,Fayt Leingod,Albel Nox and the one who made the door 'opening' Cliff Fittir, "At least we're fine.." Fayt dusted himself off before going back inside to check up on the ship.
"Speak for yourself,I'm still achi'n in my stomach,no thanks to Mr Wicked over here!" Albel drew out a curved sword,a katana from his side and got into a battle stance,Cliff was alarmed at his comrade's actions, "Albel!Whatcha doin with that!" Albel became annoyed, "Get down fool!"just at that moment, a large wolf charged at Cliff who fortunately ducked and got caught in Albel's claws by it's neck. "This is the reason I drew out my blade!" Albel smirked before snapping the poor beast's neck instantly killing it when it's neck snapped,Albel pulled out one of it's fangs and pocketed his 'prize'.Fayt just came out with a scanner showing the shi's condition, "We can forget about using the ship again,guess we have to....Albel!What's with the wolf!" Fayt was staring at the dead animal in Albel's metallic claws, "Oh nothing....just this." Albel began concentrating on the dead wolf and suddenly,he was surrounded by a dark crimson aura and with a satisfied smile,he yelled "Dragon Roar!!" a dark portal opened up right below Albel and apparitions of dragons came out and Albel dropped the carcass into the portal as the savage spirits of the dragons dove back into the portal for its meal.
When the portal closed,Albel turned to the sight of Fayt slapping Cliff's back as he vomited the last of the contents of his stomach. "Cliff,when did you eat so much?" Fayt looked concerned for his friend but then his expression changed to that of anger, "By the way Cliff,I found traces of digestive fluids all over the parts of the engine room,Cliff quickly backed away a few yards from Fayt, "Uh,hehe...funny story about that......
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Flasback,Cliff's P.O.V (note that this is my first time with a p.o.v)
Man that Albel's a sicko!Damn him for bringing up that experience...brrrr!Still chills my spine and upsets my man my stomach's gonna explode,forget the bathroom!Get a door open already...ah here's one,now where am I?Ahh screw that. Sounds of gagging was heard inside the room and the resounding plops of whatever was left of my lunch came onto the ground which was flashing.Huh?what's with the flashing lights....uh oh....THIS IS THE FRICKI'N ENGINE ROOM!! Cliff's thoughts were stopped short as the engine core began setting off sparks and imploded(like exploding but blows up inwardly)
End Flashback
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Oh really. So that's what caused the ship to crash..eh.." Fayt had a glint in his eyes from which anyone could tell that's in a foul mood..well anyone besides Cliff. "Uh Fayt,you okay?" Fayt was slightly trembling and was silently chanting a symbological spell, "Because of you,we lost the only way to return to my wife....well......let me......cool off a bit.................... ....Destruction Sphere!" a sphere of energy the size of a golf ball covered a tuft of Cliff's hair and it instantly disintegrated into nothing leaving Cliff dumbstruck and he instantly passed out right on the spot.
"I guess I overdid it a bit...Albel,get a fire going and see if you can find a fresh sage(a herb with effects similar to smelling-salts)among what's left of the ship." Albel grunted in response and went off to gather some firewood. Fayt turned his attention back to Cliff, "Sorry about that I was stressed."the only response he got was the sound of Albel gathering wood nearby
(Alfea,Nurse's Office)
Cedric Palladium has hunched over the bed that Lusiz was using to rest,he was holding a cell phone to his ear, "Yes dear...she's resting now...Dr Ofelia managed to heal her......I see,send father-in-law my best regards....bye Marila." Cedric shut the phone off and pocketed it away just before Lusiz moaned slightly in her bed.
"Cedric...my friend....is that you?" Cedric grabbed a nearby glass of water and gently pressed it against her tiny lips, "Drink up,you'll need it to recover your health." Lusiz had no choice but obediently drink the water,after only drinking a quarter of the water,Lusiz stopped. "Cedric,I have a message for Faragonda..." she was cut short by Cedric hugging her gently. "I thought I was going to lose you...you're like a little sister to me,so please rest up some more...then we'll talk about the message for Faragonda but for now...rest."
Lusiz obediently did as she was told and laid her head down on the pillow and instantly went back to sleep. Cedric exited the room quietly before turning back his head to see a dark shadow hovering over Lusiz's sleeping form and immediately pulled out his saber and prepared a quick spell to defend his 'sister'.
( Red Fountain,Courtyard)
"Argus!You're back!" Rylon rushed up to Argus and enveloped him in a bear hug,unfortunately....he also bear-hugged Reina without even noticing her,cutting of her air supply as well as Argus', "Hi....Rylon...good to see ya......but you.....seem to be crushing my....friend!"Argus was gasping for air while trying to make room for Reina to breath,Rylon quickly put the two down.
"Oops!Sorry about that,your girlfriend seems a bit dizzy here." Argus went wide-eyed at his friend and former instructor's comment while Reina blushed slightly at the idea of them being a couple and unintentionally stopped breathing and fainted right on the spot for two reasons,one:Rylon had cut off their air supply earlier,two:she didn't take in enough oxygen earlier(you get the idea).Argus sighed deeply and picked Reina up bridal style and asked Rylon, "Rylon is my room still the way it is?" Saladin walked up to the two before Rylon could respond, "Argus,it appears that you have much to explain for but I believe right now,I suggest that you send her to bed and report to me immediately...your room is still the same,please continue."
Argus nodded and proceeded to make his way towards the main building,ignoring the people staring at them but managed to overhear a conversation, "Hey whose that ?" "Don't ya know,he used to be the top student here...at least until he transferred to Alfea." "Really?So who's the best now ?" "Well,it's unofficial but it's Trevor Pyris." "What!The messenger boy but he's..." Argus couldn't hear anymore of the conversation as he was too far away,he chuckled a bit and thought 'Trevor Pyris eh,can't wait to meet him.'
(Argus' Room at Red Fountain)
The room that Argus had at Red Fountain was quite large,the room in fact use to be Skye's which he shared with Brandon,currently the only person in the history books that became a King of Solaria without even being of noble birth. Now it has only one King-size bed which Reina was sleeping in,the only thing out of place was her clothes was she was only wearing a bathrobe(A.n:sorry this is not what it looks like,just read on and find out),she stirred in her sleep before waking up with a yawn and let out an.. "Eek!Where are are my clothes!...and why do I smell like perfume?"
Argus walked into the room,wet and bare at the top with a wet towel over his shoulders,Reina instinctively covered herself with the bedsheets and pointed a finger at Argus accusingly. "What did you do to me!Talk before I blast you with a Fireball!" Argus gestured his left hand to the entrance of the room,the door had a slit on the top half for letters which had a letter box overflowing with pink letters and on the floor by the door a mound of flowers and a puddle of what looked like perfume. "That my dear Reina,are the love-letters my room received since I transferred to Alfea and as for why you smell like perfume,the flowers that had decomposed formed a natural puddle of perfume. When I entered,I slipped on the letters and flowers and landed straight into the puddle along with you so I had to change out of my uniform."
Reina seemed to understood Argus' excuse and then became somewhere between angry and embarrassed. "Then what about my clothes!" Argus chuckled a bit and a young girl entered wearing the regular Red Fountain styled uniform except that the uniform was red instead of the basic blue. "Meet my fellow instructor,Miss Sera Slifer. She's the one who helped you changed you out of your clothes."Sera had Emerald-green hair and cat-like eyes(ya know,yellow),fair complexion and a nice hour-glass figure to boot. Reina eyed her suspiciously then Sera tried to stifle back a giggle but she did it anyway.
"Don't worry honey,Argus here's single,I'm just his bodyguard from any fangirls if you know what I mean. He's all yours!" Sera pinched Argus' cheeks like a mother would, "Ouch!That hurt,sometimes I wonder how you became my friend...by the way where am I gonna get new clothes ?" While Argus was conversing with Sera,Reina was admiring Argus' physique until she was interrupted when Argus was pushed onto the bed with Reina and upon further inspection,Reina saw a tinge of purple liquid on the edge of his lips, "Knock-out potions,one whiff will keep a man out-cold for an hour." Reina struggled to get up from the bed but Argus' position on the bed was coincidentally over Reina,completely pining her down. "What about Argus,you made him drink it!"
Sera simply smiled innocently and said, "Hmm,he took a whole vial...so he'll be out for an hour too but drinking it does have it's side-effects as a truth potion and with the amount I gave him,even his Dragon Fire can't get him out of that state easily,...so sweetie have fun while I get some clothes for Argus and his adorable girlfriend!" Sear squealed in delight and skipped down the hallways leaving Argus at Reina's 'disposal'. "What have I gotten myself into...." Reina was struggling to get herself free from her predicament until she accidentally knocked Argus' head upward and his lips somehow met Reina's and instantly fell asleep(remember the drop of potion on his lips)with Argus' head resting on Reina's lap,he muttered out, "Reina...... " as he finished,he continued sleeping without a care in the world.
(Center of King's Cross)
The famous roads of the King,whoever the king was has long been forgotten,four roads converged into each other forming the great 'cross'.Now instead of being peaceful and full of life,it was eerily silent,even the normal inhabitants of animals were gone The place was also filled with fog,even though it hasn't rained for weeks. Suddenly out of no where,several dark portals appeared and Dianovas stepped out from one of them while the rest were troops from the Army of Decay, "Hmph!Army of Decay obey my commands,I have released you and now repay your debt!" immediately the entire platoon of unholy creatures bowed down in respect. "Good,now allow me to grant you new powers."
Dianovas summoned a ball of energy and sent it into the sky and then it rained,at first nothing happened but one of the mammoth-sized beasts bursts into their larvae state and reformed again but this time into human shapes and transformed into Red Fountain students and the same went for the rest of the platoon but half of them turned into Federation soldiers both complete with their weapons as according to their forms,then another portal opened up and Morak exited from it being accompanied by his skeletal soldiers armed to the teeth aware that their with comrades but Dianovas was in command of them and he was unpredictable, "What do you wish of me Sir Dianovas ?" Morak bowed accordingly to his rank. Dianovas frowned and snapped his fingers and the platoon of mixed 'Red Fountain students' and 'Federation troops' started attacking Morak's men,easily defeating them thanks to Dianovas' powers aiding them.
Morak stood there whether horror-stricken that his men were being decimated or just angry that his men can't even put a single scratch on the enemy,no one can tell as his face is nothing but a skull the only answer he could give was drawing out his sword and tried to attack Dianovas but he had conjured a sword made of what appeared to be of pure darkness and parried Morak's attack with an immediate counter-attack to cripple Morak which would have succeeded if his opponent was of flesh and blood,but Morak was of the living dead and took the attack fearlessly,as soon as to sword hit Morak screamed as the spot where he was hit was bleeding and seemed to be sprouting flesh,the infestation of flesh spread throughout Morak's convulsing body and Dianovas just stood there watching the horrendous scene with a calm and cold face.
After several minutes,Morak was seen shivering on the ground,clad in his battered armor he was again human or at least something related to a human being if it weren't for the fangs in his mouth and a pair of horns protruding from his forehead but Morak's newly-grown shaggy-black hair easily covered it,Morak stood up and with every move he made,he shivered. Morak slowly made his way towards Dianovas trying to attack him but found that he was unarmed and simply pointed a shaky finger at Dianovas, "Wh..what...di..did you...do to....me..." his voice was hoarse but still retained his cold tone. Dianovas gestured to a nearby pool of clean water and Morak felt compelled to see in it and saw not a skeleton but a handsome but sinister-looking man in his late twenties. Dianovas spoke before Morak could respond, "I've given you more power,under Lord Kaleb's orders...you are now an official demon,meaning that yours powers have evolved. Our Lord has another mission for you,apparently..the current protector of the Dragon's Fire is now located at Red Fountain,kill the protector of the flames,use the troops here to assist you." he again snapped his fingers and the Red Fountain students again burst into larvae and reformed into Federation soldiers. "These 'warriors' should be more powerful than your last ones." Morak smiled,showing his fangs and saluted his former enemy by bringing his right arm across his chest, "As you wish,Sir Dianovas..."
(Space-Battlefield)
Jake was sweating inside his flight suit,it took all of his concentration just to keep up with the enemy's movements,although the Striker was the best the Federation could offer,top of the line weaponry,sophisticated stealth systems and the fastest creation engine outfitted,it was still a prototype. Jake had barely even shot at one of the three enemy crafts before his fleet lost two squadrons of Fighters along with another Battle-cruiser. "Damn!They're good....too good!No choice...."Jake opened up a com-link with his flagship,the Diplo II and contacted Kevin Stromwell.
(Diplo II,Bridge)
Kevin Stromwell was issuing orders to the crew when a screen projection popped up in front of his face,which shocked Kevin a bit but recomposed himself as soon as he saw that it was Jake, "What is it sir ?" the screen showed Jake frantically trying to fight off the enemy while he tried to talk to Kevin at the same time.
"Lt. Stromwell....'laser blasts in the background'...open up the file on the computer...marked Str78X...do it now!" Kevin typed in the commands into the ship's computer and pulled up the file and opened it with a click of a button and at just that moment,Jake yelled at him through the monitor, "Now give me the codes for mode A!" Kevin quickly spoke out the codes, "The codes are.......19,20,18,9,16,5,18....I repeat,the codes are 19,20,18,9,16,5,18...." he switched off the computer monitor and apparently,the screen that Jake used to contact his had also shut off.
(Cockpit of Striker)
"Got it..."Jake had already activated a panel and a keyboard slid out of a compartment and he quickly typed in the codes in rapid succession and immediately felt a minor shock of electricity go coursing through his entire being and found himself somewhere else on the Striker still seated in the control seat, "Probably the heart of the Striker..." he deducted as he looked around his surroundings. Several screens appeared right in front of him,showing the battle taking place in every direction. Jake took the controls and saw new options on the panels,one including of a sword and shield,he smirked before selecting it.
A.N:Well what do you think,I personally like it but that's my opinion,so shoot!(figurative meaning)
p.s:If you use a codebreaker(1=A,2=B and etc)You'll find that its code for Striker.
