(En Route to King's Cross)
Argus was far ahead from his team as his Space-Binder was far more advanced than the standard WindRider "Argus!Hold on!What are you hurrying for!"Sera called after Argus through their transmitters. Argus immediately slowed down to match Sera's speed. "Sorry about that....I had zoned out a bit...."Argus clutched the pendant which glowed a bit the moment he touched it. "Oooookay,so what's our objective 'chief'" the lower half of his helmet retracted as he smiled "The mission is a simple rescue mission but here comes the hard part..."Argus then activated the custom weapons array on his Space-Binder as he gestured to the direction in front of them,a large and powerful looking enemy force but then their numbers had tripled by unknown means and they were also riding WindRiders and opened fire the instant they were in range.
"Damn everyone split up!Rylon!Give us cover fire!" Argus fired off several blasts at the enemy hoping to draw their attention to him but he found out that their target was him all along when he heard, "There!He's the one that Morak sent us to kill!Get him!" Argus' eyes bugged out when he saw the enemy's true form. Army of Decay..... Argus quickly brought his Space-Binder around and retreated..just in time too as the laser barrage from Rylon's air units had come to his waved at the Jet-stormers as they flew towards the remaining enemy that still retained their human guise. Argus signaled his scattered team "Alright!While Rylon provides cover,we'll charge through their lines and retrieve our target!Let's move out!" Argus re-activated his vehicle and sped off into the enemy ranks with a broadsword materializing in his hand,sword at the ready,he uttered a battle-cry that could've rivaled Trevor's as he cleaved through enemy ranks. With his actions,his team watched in awe as he brought down one monster after another as he charged through them....but when they try to catch up to him,they were immediately surrounded by several Juggernauts along with Beast Troopers(1).Sera readied her weapons of choice,a laser whip glove and claw combo(2),the same went for the other team members as they brought out their weapons. Hope you make it.... Sera thought as she kept hearing Argus fighting his way through the enemy lines.
(Cloud Tower,Headmistress' Office)
Lamina Griffin was trying to monitor the disturbance she had detected at King's Cross,she almost got the answer but a blockade spell destroyed the crystal sphere she was using,she put up a barrier before the broken shards of the crystal could stab her. "What in the world!That spell had an aura of evil in it-" at that moment,Livy the minifairy messenger flew right in on her board crashing right into the barrier which Lamina had forgotten to put down,Livy slid down onto the floor and she got pricked by the shards as she started hopping about trying to get away,forgetting that she could fly with her wings.
Lamina picked up Livy and saw that she had no wounds whatsoever. It's a wonder that minfairies could be compared to immortals....She saw three letters scattered on the floor,she picked them up and saw the names of the three school guardians of the Codex pieces, Concorda of Alfea,Athena of Red Fountain and of course,Discorda of Cloud Tower. "Discorda,you're needed in the office." Lamina mumbled,knowing that Discorda would hear it,and as expected the haughty minifairy flew into the room and saw Livy, "My dear Livy,what are you doing here...did you forget your marbles again ?" Discorda intended that as an insult but she saw Livy's outfit was torn a bit and she was crying, "Oh my,let me fix that for you." her face softened up as she went to fix Livy's clothes with magic. "A bit of fun,a dash of kindness,and plenty of fashion sense,here you are with your new outfit." magic black dust showered on Livy's clothes and changed into a new outfit that looked like a combination of her old outfit with Discorda's only it was pure white,with blue trimmings.
"Thanks,..oh yeah I have a letter for you...Oh No!Where is it!Where is it!" Livy dumped out several trinkets from her magic bag as to why it was magic was seen when Livy dived into it scrounging for the letter that was in the Headmistresses' hands. "Here you are Discorda,Livy...you can go now...Livy ?" both Griffin and Discorda looked into the bag and saw a nearly endless pile of trinkets and letters,all mashed into one big pile and in the middle of this pile was Livy,hopping about..forgetting that she was suppose to be on an assignment. "Weeee,this is fun!What was I doing again ?.....Oh well,weeeee!" Discorda slapped her forehead at Livy's forgetfulness,while Griffin just sighed as she conjured up a teapot with tea brewing inside and two teacups,one for herself and a small one just for her flustered companion. "Care for some tea..." Discorda picked up her cup. "Yes,and make mine with a chip of a sugar-cube."
(Meanwhile,Red Fountain)
Reina explored the school grounds as she'd never visited the school before,she accidentally crashed into a into an old man who fell down,the man was in fact,Arune Saladin,Headmaster of the prestigious school for heroes and heroines, "I'm so sorry sir..er..." she helped the headmaster up while apologizing, "It's quite alright my dear....by the way,didn't you come here with Argus...what's your name ?" Saladin dusted himself off. "Oh!My name is Reina Leah Til Alexandros.." Arune's eyes widened as Reina told him her full name,Arune bowed down a bit. "I see the the young princess of Alexandria has grown up to be a beautiful young lady....I do hope you remembered me..but back then,you were a mere baby when you were engaged..... oh,it appears that I slipped that out..." Reina's mouth was wide open as she put her hands up to her face specifically,her lips. Oh no!I'm engaged!How could my parents do this to me!Who am I going to marry! Visions of a young man wearing expensive clothing and herself wearing an elegant wedding gown looking sad behind the veil,the man's features were shadowed,along with everyone else's,even her parents. "Excuse me,...." a specialist bumped against her,knocking her out of her 'dream' or rather 'nightmare',she quickly grabbed Arune Saladin by the shoulders and after calming herself down."Who am I engaged to ?"
Saladin was about to reveal the identity of her fiancé,when a moan came from a nearby makeshift tent."Huh ?Who's in there ?"Reina let go of Saladin as they both proceeded to the entrance of the tent. When she opened the flap of the tent she saw a sickening sight,more than two dozen specialists were laying in bed,with severe injuries. "As you can see,although we won the battle,they were unfortunate to have taken the full brunt of the enemy's attack." a specialist had approached them as he gestured to the wounded,some of them kept moaning and whispering something about an intense burning sensation in their body,while a few who were the most unfortunate had bits of flesh stripped from the bone along with high-degree burns. Reina wanted to scream but she held it all in and asked the specialist.
"Is there anything I could do to help them ?" the specialist sighed and turned left and picked up a tome that was opened on a specific page from an empty bed. "Unless you can get the Dragon Weed(3),then they will experience intense pain until they die,from my calculations.....they have less than 2 days to live...." the specialist put the tome away as he returned to attend to his patients,believing that Reina would give up but... "Where can I find Dragon Weeds!" the specialist was surprised at her enthusiasm and said, "I don't know but I do know this,only the Great Dragons know the location of the rare herb,as far as I know,their now flying towards the direction of the Wild lands...which as you should know has very limited magical essence,so unless you know how to handle a sword properly,you'll be monster chow in no time." the specialist was immediately slapped in the face,not by a hand but the flat side of a small energy saber which was wielded by Reina, "I know how to hold my own in a fight..." the specialist gulped as the tip of the blade was inches from his throat and sighed in relief as the weapon was de-activated.
"Alright,with Headmaster Saladin's permission,we'll form a small party of other specialists to accompany you." Saladin nodded in agreement as Reina put the sword handle into one of the pouches of her belt,she also grabbed the tome as she casted a spell for it to shrink so it could be put away into the pouches. "Alright,you got 48 hours to find the herb. A drop ship will be ready in half an hour,so get some supplies from one of the armories." Reina had left the tent before he could finish as Reina had already been to the armory a while ago.
After a while,a thought occurred, Oh no!I forgot to get the answer about my engagement! Reina just sighed and walked towards the armories at a slower pace with a disappointed look on her face.(A.N:As to the reason why Reina nearly decapitated the guy,wouldn't you feel angry if someone mocked you and your abilities.)
(Adquistes,Bar)
Cliff was drinking a mug of 'Nectar Beer'(4),the bartender said that it has the sweet taste of alcohol but didn't had the bad side-effect of ending up in a drunken stupor,Cliff had already downed his twelfth glass when Fayt came and sat down beside his friend and let out a sigh that sounded like like a wolf howling, "What's eatin' at you ?" Cliff asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Two things.....one:Maria.....two:I've got no proper info on how to get our job done faster......the info I got are totally useless...." Fayt slammed his face down onto the bar-table,the bartender came up to Fayt,the bartender was a prim-looking man in his late fifties with light-brown hair with strands of silver in it,giving him a look of a kind grandfather. "What's wrong young man,away from your wife ?....Well I can't help you there but I can help you with information that you need." Fayt's face instantly lit up with happiness. "Really!Thank you sir!You have no idea how grateful I am!" Fayt had unintentionally earned the attention of the patrons of the bar. "Nothing to see here folks,back to your drinks..." the patrons just returned to their drinks,ignoring the conversation.
"One,don't shout...two,don't call me sir...it makes me feel my age if you know what I mean...alrighty then,tell me what you want to know. By the way,call me Pops." Pops started cleaning an empty glass,while trying to seem inconspicuous. "Well....we want to know how to get a fast transport to the next town and to know the identity of the top people around these parts...you know...your leaders.." Pops' eyebrows furrowed before he snickered. "You're not from around the Magic Dimension,are you ?" Fayt became pale and in his mind.... Crap!Our cover is blown! "...then again,we did get visitors a few years ago who knew nothing about the Magic Dimension more than you do....they all came in a flash,one of them was from a large silver ship....the Aquaelie was the name of it,a Mr Olsen Wittcomb was the captain....he's now the head of a large company,Galactical Enterprise." Cliff spewed out his drink while Fayt was flabbergasted at the new piece of information. "....He...he's alive..the commodore is alive...." Pops just continued cleaning the beer-mugs, "Ahh..now that you mentioned it,Mr Wittcomb did mention that he was a commodore....are you his friends,he did said that he helped a group led by a youngster to save their universe....Say are you Fayt Leingod ?" Pops said Fayt's name in a whisper.
Fayt nodded,getting nervous at Pops' questions, "....Umm...do you know where we can get in touch with Mr Wittcomb ?" Pops just sighed and gave Fayt a piece of paper, "What's this ?" Cliff got out of his seat and started sneaking away. "Well....to put it bluntly,it's the bill for the drinks your friend had,200 Magix-Credit to be exact...." Fayt just pulled out the bag that the guards gave him and gave Pops twenty 10 Credit coins. "Guess your friend didn't want you to get angry...but you're calm...by the way,here's the directions to Galactical Enterprise,it's right here in the city." Pops handed Fayt another piece of paper,showing the map of the city along with the directions drawn out. "Thanks Pops." When Fayt left the bar,a crash came from just outside. Apparently,Fayt had crashed into Albel who was carrying a package of antique swords which he had traded for with the wolf fang he had. "Fool!What are you doing!" Albel was threatening to punch Fayt but let go when Cliff grabbed Albel by the scruff of his neck like a little boy quite easily with his Klausian strength. "Albel stop it,'whispers' remember,our mission needs us to cooperate,even if it means putting up with each other's faults." Albel reluctantly calmed down and Cliff let him down but the moment Albel touched the ground,he punched Cliff right in the gut with his normal hand. "What was that for!" Cliff readied his fists while Albel just rubbed his hands from hitting Cliff so hard. "Believe me maggot!....I did it for your own good."
Suddenly a great shadow passed by,everybody looked into the sky and saw an amazing sight,several gigantic dragons flew overhead. "What was that ?" "Those were Great Dragons,weren't they ?" "Yeah I heard about those." while the crowds of people,Fayt grabbed Cliff and Albel grabbed them and whispered, "Here's our chance to sneak off." both his friends nodded as they proceeded to sneak away but a hand latched onto Fayt's shoulder which scared the heck out of him but to his relief,it was only Izak, "Sir,I have found information about obtaining transport from a place called Galactical Enterprise and some of these..." Izak handed Fayt a small chest that fitted in the palm of his hand but Fayt quickly put it into his belt satchel, "An elderly woman gave it to me as a reward for saving her cat...." Izak appeared to have felt some sort of emotion,actual emotion but he was a machine and machines were incapable of feelings but Fayt just shook it off, "Izak,follow me...we may have found out that Commodore Wittcomb is still alive." Izak remained emotionless and seemed to be processing the information that his superior just gave him, "Affirmative,please lead the way." Fayt saw a ladder leading to the rooftops and gestured to his companions to climb it so as to speed up their pace. "Hey did you see that,I thought I just saw some people jumping across the rooftops.." but nobody heard that person as they were distracted by the gigantic dragons flying above them to care what he said.
(Diplo II,Sickbay)
Jake was monitoring the health parameters of the other survivors that were with his uncle,he suddenly heard a noise behind him and whipped out his gun and was startled to see Cecille sprawled on the floor with a frightened look on her face and thanks to the room's low amount of gravity since the battle between Striker against the three 'enemy' cruisers had damaged the gravity generator,two cups of coffee floated in midair,although the gravity was low,it still had the effect to make a person fall down keep them there and Cecille was no exception but unfortunately for Jake,she was in a.....'erotic' pose as her skirt revealed a bit of her undergarments and relying on reflex,Cecille quickly slapped Jake right on the cheek and a loud sound was heard as Jake crashed onto the floor,releasing the gun as his head hit the wall,rendering him stunned as the wound on his head reopened.
"Hmph take that!......Oh no!What have I done!" Cecille had realized that she just hurt her commanding officer,she quickly rushed to Jake's side. "Sir...sir,wake up....Jake,Jake wake up,wake...up..." Cecille panicked when she removed her hands from Jake's head,she saw blood stained on her hands,Jake's blood. "Oh no!Oh no!I killed him!...I can't take this......." Cecille had fainted and collapsed into Jake's arms.
Moments later,Jake's eyes fluttered as he recovered from his unconsciousness state and saw Cecille sleeping on his arms and drops of blood dripped from his head and onto Cecille's face which was already stained with blood, "Cecille ?....Wake up.....ugh..why do I feel so dizzy ?" Jake felt the blood dripping down his face, "Better clean this up..." Jake got up while carrying the sleeping girl in his arms which was easier in the weaker gravity. "....Jake...." Cecille muttered before continuing her slumber. "Just great...she's fallen for me...(sighs)how I wish that I was born ugly." but a deep and familiar voice answered for him. "Well,now if that had happened,you'll still be pestered by girls anyway." Jake turned around to see his uncle,Andrew Heinmann wide awake with a smug look on his face,so as to humor his uncle for a bit,Jake retorted "And why's that,you 'old goat'...." Jake didn't pay any attention to his uncle's 'comeback' as he treated his wounds while washing away the blood on himself as well as the ones that stained on Cecille's face.
"Well you'll got plenty of suitors already,so why not add her to the list then..." at this Jake gave his uncle a cold glare but his uncle was unfazed,immune as per say to Jake's ghoulish glare. "Calm down boy...your parents told me in their will to try and find you....a suitable girl for you....it's just...that." Andrew grew silent as he remembered the day he saw Jake as a child wandering in the house of the incident,covered in the killer's blood,with a glazed look on his face,he never knew what went through the boy's mind even to this day. "Commander,please get dressed in your uniform." Jake had finished his task of cleaning Cecille up and was already back to his anti-social state. "Why..." Andrew asked as his nephew tossed him his uniform. "Because sir,under the president's orders,you are to return to Earth and await further orders along with the other survivors that were with you.....I'll be taking charge of the mission now."
Jake exited the room before his uncle could complain,leaving a sleeping on one of the empty medical beds. "Oh well,better add her to the top of the list to keep her hopes up." Andrew pulled out a PDA from the front pocket of his uniform and added Cecille's name to a long list of other women,most of which have already been rejected. "Hope none of them get their hands on this list,or come here for that matter." "Indeed commander." Andrew turned around to see some of his officers already awake. "I heard the entire thing sir,so shall we wake up the others to prepare for our departure." Andrew nodded as he put away the PDA and grabbed a stim pack(5) and proceeded to literally force the sleeping officers out of slumber.
(Somewhere at King's Cross)
Dianovas was standing upon the branch of a tall tree,giving him full view of the duel between Morak and that specialist, "Hmm,he shows promise....but his mind is in turmoil....he's too unstable to recruit.... What's this ?" Dianovas had set his eyes on a lone specialist charging through on a hover-cycle,slaying everything that got in his way through means of prowess of his sword and magic.
"So he's the one who wields the Dragon Fire...he proves troublesome,it's best that he's slowed down....." Dianovas pulled out a small dagger that gleamed in the light and he created a symbol in the air and threw the dagger through the center of it but it vanished the moment it passed the symbol,Dianovas just smirked as he began jumping from branch to branch heading towards the direction of the specialist that was defeating his foes one after another,trying to reach his destination...at least until his Space-Binder's engine started malfunctioning and began giving off sparks and smoke, "Damn!It's gonna explode!" Argus turned his vehicle toward the hordes of enemy 'soldiers'in front of him,intending to take them down with a bang...a really big bang!
(Meanwhile,King's Cross Battlefield,Sera's group)
"Hiya!"Sera yelled as she reeled in another monster with her whip and clawed it to pieces but the pieces turn into larvae and they kept forming more and more enemies for her to face,the same went for her other team members,with each foe they defeat two more takes their place,eventually one by one the specialists went down until it left only Sera and four others, "Instructor,what should we do....we're outnumbered..." one of the specialists shouted as he swung his sword towards a Juggernaut but faltered and was almost killed by it if it weren't destroyed as Rylon's team started fired their weapons,effectively destroying several numbers of the monsters ,caring not to hit any allies.
"Sanders!Get your team to safety!We'll clear a path!" Rylon yelled through the tiny monitor on Sera's transmitter-watch. Sera replied to Rylon while trying to evade the monster's attacks "But what about Argus and Trevor!Are we going to leave them behind!" Sera heard a scream as she saw one of her team members gone from her sights but saw the source as the 'missing' member was technically being 'dogpiled' by several Beast Troopers,but fortunately he was saved when Rylon fired a small blast at the pile,reducing it's mass,enabling the trapped specialist to escape. "Sanders!Give the order now!You've got no chance beating them!Now give the order!"
Sera reluctantly gave out the order, "All specialists that can still move,help your incapacitated team members and retreat back to the school,Head Instructor Ortedus will clear a path for us!Retreat now!"Sera quickly changed her weapons to blasters and started giving cover fire while the others helped the ones that were knocked out towards the WindRiders that were undamaged,she heard gunfire behind her knowing that it's just Rylon clearing a path but something unexpected happened,the enemy just stopped attacking and started retreating, What the ?Why are they retreating...unless....Argus!... Reina rushed towards the nearest WindRider and started the engine but before she could go,She fell against the dashboard as she felt a sting in her neck,after that her world went dark,in the air,Rylon had his cockpit opened with a tranquilizer gun in his hands, "I'm sorry Sera....Alright!Everyone move out !" the WindRider that Sera was on automatically started up and followed the others,leaving two of their best specialists behind enemy lines.
(Moments earlier,King's Cross,Trevor's duel against Morak)
The fight between Trevor and Morak in his demonic form has already intensified to the extent that their blows created shockwaves that vibrated the immediate area,but as the fight dragged on,Trevor's power began to wane as his fire sword started growing weaker by the minute until Morak struck him with an underhanded sucker punch to Trevor's gut,causing him to gasp in pain as he coughed up blood, "Done already ?...You're a pathetic opponent whose not even worthy to use a sword on..."
Morak started laughing mockingly at the coughing specialist,the laughter only served as fuel for Trevor's growing rage causing him to go berserk. "Rraahhhhhh!" the originally dying flame that was Trevor's flame sword immediately grew tripled it's size as the berserk Trevor charged blindly a the cackling demon who simply threw away his sword and his claws/nails grew thicker and longer and used them to easily parry Trevor's powerful but clumsy attacks.
"You are getting on my nerves human....time to end this!" Morak made a grab for Trevor's neck and threw him right into a large tree which fell over when he crashed into the tree. As Morak reverted to his human disguise,he retrieved his weapon and started making his way towards his opponent's unconscious body with a malicious look in his eyes. "I'm going to enjoy this...."

Author's explanation:
1.)Beast Troopers:In short,imagine a combination of Wolf mixed together with the medium sized monsters from the Army of Decay(remember from the 1st season)
2.)Whip-glove and Claw combo:as the words describes it,a combination of a laser-string glove on one hand and the energy claw in the other,the technique used is unorthodox but effective by reeling in the enemy with the strings and ripping them to shreds with the claws.
3.)Dragon Weed:A rare herb that only exists in a...oops,almost gave away a spoiler...special place of which only the Great Dragons know of,the herb itself can heal any wounds that suffers from heat-induced pain or any general types of injuries,a very potent healing item to have.
4.)Nectar Beer:a type of drink that has the sweet taste of alcohol mixed with the aromatic tang of flower nectar,the beer itself is actually a mix of real alcohol with the nectar of flowers created by magic which negates the side-effects of getting drunk.
5.)Stim-Pack(took it out of Star-Craft):A type of stimulant which acts as a sort of power booster when injected into the bloodstream as it increases the adrenaline output. It also acts as a 'wake up' caller as the increased adrenaline forces the the person sleeping to automatically wake up.
Well,that's about it for now. This is Argus456 signing off.
