(Dragon City Ruins)
Zian has been running for a while now,although he could have flew to safety,he would've risked Reina falling off of three Specialists caught up with him,one was using a blaster,while another was using his energy bow,charging the laser arrow with each pull of the string,launching bolts of energy to slow down their pursuers. The team's leader flew closer on his hoverboard with the final member of his team behind him using his shield to repel any attacks by the Rouge Dragons. "Where are you taking us!" Zian simply replied, "To the Dragon Weeds...and safety..." the Specialist nodded as he signaled his team to stop firing and speed up.
Zian smiled as the structure of a massive dome loomed over ahead, "Hasten your pace!We need to reach that dome quickly and activate the defense barrier!" the team leader was puzzled at what he meant but ordered his team to increase their the horde of Rouge Dragons in hot pursuit,the Specialists threw out several cylindrical flasks at their pursuers and to Zian's amusement,the 'flasks' started beeping before it released mists of liquid nitrogen,freezing the legs of the Rouge Dragons in front,blocking the ones behind them from chasing them but... "Get them you fools!" a command that sounded like a roar as the dragons that were stuck started breathing fire to melt the ice while the rest climbed over their backs to continue their pursuit. Tenacious creatures...how annoying! Zian roared as he swiped his claws at a dragon that got too close for comfort as it tried to take Reina.
When the group reached the gates,they found it shut. "Quick there's a password needed to open it,push the button and say 'Harmony'!" one of the Specialist nodded as he ran off towards the 'button',the rest stayed behind to hold off their enemy but they were shocked to see an endless swarm of dragons charging at them,Zian used his tail and gently lifted Reina off his back and into the arms of the Specialist captain and said to him, "Take yourself and your brethren into a safe location inside the interior,I'll hold them..." "What!...Alright,but come back safely,okay ?" Zian merely snorted as he spread himself into a protective position. "Go,now!" the Specialists ran off as Zian prepared himself to face off against the horde of feral dragons.
The Specialists rushed towards the gate to push the button but found none, "Where's the button!" the Specialist Captain saw Reina point her fingers at a particular spot on the door covered in cobwebs. "Guys!Check that spot over there." his team complied as they pulled away the cobwebs to find an intercom with a voice box and a button below of them pushed the button and yelled out "Harmony!" the gates creaked as the rust fell off,opening slowly much to the group's frustration.
Zian had turned to his human form,using the form's agility and speed to his advantage as he ducked and weaved around the attacks aimed at him. Zian leaped over a dragon and breathed out a stream of icy mist as it solidified a group of dragons into a bunch of ice sculptures,although they were wild,they were still his kind. I hope that you'll find your soul eventually... Zian thought as he hopped onto the back of a dragon,running up its back and used it's head as a springboard to launch himself into the air and once he was high enough,his wings sprouted out of his back and enveloped him in a cocoon-like shape before it unfurled itself,showing Zian in his dragon form. "Human!Are the gates open!I'll be coming in!" Zian went into a mad dive towards the gates and hoped that it's open by the time he gets there

(Dream Realm,Dragon Fire Palace)
Skye had led Argus to a doorway that looked similar to the one that had Skye and Bloom kissing but the design was incomplete as the silhouettes of the kissing haven't even been started but the silhouettes gave off a familiar feeling so he tried to guess who the couple were by staring at it really hard but was slightly shocked as the image 'flickered' showing a couple he never saw before,both had blue hair,a girl in a strangely militaristic suit with a gun strapped in a holster on her hip and a young man wearing a vest-shirt with blue leg armor with a collection of swords strapped to his hip also in an intricate pattern that seems to make the swords accessible. Argus blinked when the doorway opened.
Argus was mesmerized at the brilliance of the room he just entered,the immense size of the room was decorated with paintings of Skye and Bloom as well as her companions and their beloved beside them. I know them!Brandon and Stella,Riven and Musa,Timmy and Techna,Helia and Flora...but where's Layla and- Argus was taken out of his thoughts when an armored hand waved in front of him, "Huh..what ?" Argus shook his head as he looked at the familiar form of Efreet. "Master Argus(remember,he beat Efreet),it is time for you to meet Mistress Bloom." Argus slowly nodded as he silently followed Efreet towards a high platform with two thrones on it and on them sat Daphne the Nymph and the other seat was Bloom dressed in the same fashion as her sister,Daphne with Skye as her Guardian and around the platforms were the other knights,their face hidden behind their helmets.
Argus immediately knelled before them in respect and recited the protocol that was embedded into his mind since childhood. "I am honored to be in your presence-" Argus' 'speech' was cut short when he felt a pair of soft arms latch around him and he was surprised to see Bloom hugging him like a mother would to her child. "Umm...err...what's going on ?" Argus asked cluelessly,Bloom quickly released Argus from her hug. "Sorry about that but you look so much like our first child at your age...in fact,you're actually the reincarnation of our first born son!" Bloom giggled like a school-girl and Skye just sighed and thought to himself Even after all these years,she's still like the day I met her Skye smiled to himself,he felt a tug at his sleeves and saw Daphne pointing at Argus who was just sitting there with a blank expression on his face,simply put,he's fainted. "I guess he wasn't ready yet." Bloom felt foolish for blurting out the secret as she used her magic to revive Argus from his unconsciousness,although she no longer possess the Dragon Fire,she still retained remnants of it but since Argus currently has the main source of the Dragon Fire,her magic had no effect. "I guess I have to enter his subconscious to tell him about it,stand back while I do the ritual..." the knights distanced themselves from Bloom as she summoned a circular formation that were riddled with pictures of the stars that started spinning and with each complete rotation,the glowing increased until it blinded everyone in the room.
After the light died away,Skye and the others saw only the unconscious figure that was Argus who had a serene look on his face,Bloom was nowhere in sight,probably inside Argus' gently floated down to Argus and despite her fragile appearance,she lifted Argus off the ground and walked off in the direction of a particular door, "Daphne." the nymph turned to see Skye walking towards her, "Yes brother-in-law ?" Daphne eyes twinkled under her mask as Skye frowned ay her little joke. "This is no time for joking around,please take good care of him...and her,by the way...just call me Skye,okay ?" Daphne nodded as she opened the door and entered it before it closed itself.

(Galactical Enterprise,Security 2nd Level)
Fayt and the others had fought their way to the next elevator as the last one was disabled so going back was no longer an option as they exited the elevator to find another group of security-droids,now armed with gatling guns that started firing the moment the group saw them. Luckily,the surprise of being so close to a gun aimed directly at him,Fayt fell back into Cliff who in turn knocked into Albel,sending the three sprawling onto the metallic floor but they saw Izak just standing there,being pummeled by the fast-moving energy bullets,covering the area in the exhaust fumes emitted by the guns.
After the firing stopped,much to Fayt's relief Izak asked in his monotonous voice, "Sargent Leingod,permission to remove Limiter on my systems." Fayt pulled out the blaster that Maria gave him,the Dragoon Laser that was shaped in the head of a dragon and replied, "Okay,but only up to 25 percent." Izak nodded as his body momentarily gave off a glow of blue energy as his circuits charged up.
While the droids were scanning for survivors but the smoke hindered their scans but the smoke was cleared as a large laser beam penetrated the smoke and the armor of three of the remaining twelve droids managed to escape the blast and 'saw' Izak with his clothes ripped in several places as well as the spots where the synthetic skin was torn,his arms were merged together to form a massive cannon that quickly split apart,returning to hands but immediately turned into liquid metal that solidified into the shape of a broadsword and a scythe before he charged headlong into the enemy,hacking and slashing,effectively destroying them and just like before,several dozen more security-droids armed with laser swords spinning like propellers at Izak who simply charged at them with Fayt provided cover-fire with the Dragoon Laser,firing off several bursts of energy that took out a few droids while providing cover for ducked and weaved between the blade attacks as well as stray shots from Fayt as he lopped off the arm of a security droid and used it's still-spinning blade to destroy the opposite droid and threw it back at the one-armed droid,chopping it to quickly stabbed at another droid with his 'broadsword' straight through it's 'chest' and out through the back,with several wires and computer chips clinging to the blade that dropped to the floor when Izak turned it into a smaller version of the cannon he used earlier and fired off a huge beam of energy,obliterating droids caught in it's line of fire and that included the one caught in his that,the fight continued.
When Fayt took out the last security-droid,something odd happened,the walls opened up and what looked like lasers and Albel went into defensive stances while Cliff and Izak just stood there,as if the 'lasers' weren't there at lasers targeted the piles of scrap metal that were the security droids and shot them but instead of blowing up,it was covered in checkered lights that started blinking out,taking the pieces of the scrap-metals with them.
When it was done,the hallway was clear of any marks of the fight that had taken place. "Okaaay...that was happened ?" Fayt questioned to no one in particular as he sheathed his and Izak inspected the wall-panels for any clues for what happened, "Izak,do you think that it's digitization ?" Cliff asked Izak in his rare moments of intelligence. "The probability of your assumption is 97.99 percent accurate but the 2.1 percentage says no since that the technology was halted when Commodore Wittcomb who was funding and heading the research disappeared but this is altered as the Commodore is here,the results speak for themselves." Izak said as he opened his 'briefcase' and took out a red trench coat with wide lapels that covered where the synthetic skin came off. "We should get going then." Fayt took the front as he led them along the halls,encountering no more oppositions. "I sense danger and yet...there's nothing,what do you think Metal Maggot!" "I'm a machine,thus I don't feel insulted Corporal Nox but as to your question,my scanner picked up a massive energy reading up ahead so its best to be prepared." Izak again turned his limbs into lethal weapons while the others took out their own weapons in preparation for the battle that may or may not happen.

(Dragon City Ruins,City Dome)
"Aaaaahhhhh!" the Specialists screamed as they jumped out of the way when Zian came down barreling in on them as he crashed through the rusty gates,forcing it wide open. The Specialist captain saw the oncoming horde of dragons and yelled out, "Get to the gates!Now!" his team members complied as they rushed into the building before leaving behind a few 'surprises' for them.
Zian furled up his wings as he quickly stomped towards a large and complicated arrangement of computers and press his large paw against a conveniently placed panel that was a perfect fit and in response to that,a large jolt shook the stadium. "Zian!What did you do!"the Specialist captain asked with Reina semi-conscious in his arms,Zian just pointed at the gates that were now shut and the monitors lit up as they activated themselves. "That my dear gentlemen is the Defense Barrier activating,now please follow me to the Dragon Weeds" Zian smiled as he led the Specialists down a narrow hallway,that forced Zian to morph to his human form to go through it.
Outside,the dragons were ensnared in a red energy field that crackled through their nerves,stunning them and all this caused by a few dozen cylindrical 'pipes' sending out the waves of electricity,until they burnt themselves out but it was worthless now since their opportune moment was wasted as the dome was immediately covered in a blue force-field that launched out bolts of blue lightning at any dragons that got too close but they saw a particular shadow that slipped into the ruins and they knew that they would be feasting on the humans and add that Great Dragon to their ranks soon enough.

(Argus' Subconscious,Memories Divide)
Argus had been wandering for while now at a place that was beyond reason,one part of it was his home of Eraklion while another was of Sparks,as well as a ruin of a familiar city that acted as the border and epicenter of the area and the ruin's central location was multicolored like a rainbow,each section was colored in different colors of the rainbow as well as a few extra colors. "Now where am I ?" Argus called out to no one in particular. "We are in your subconscious." Argus turned around to see Bloom smiling at him. "Come follow me..." "Why ?" he didn't get a reply so he complied and followed his 'mother'
While the two were walking,Bloom explained to Argus about him being her son's reincarnation, "...so you see,you are technically my son." Argus pondered the information he received and asked Bloom, "How can you be sure that I'm the reincarnation of your son since I have another brother back on Eraklion ?" Bloom just smiled again as she grasped his hand and led him through the gates that they've just reached.
"You may have siblings now but in your past life,you were the first male Keeper of the Dragon Fire-" Bloom was interrupted when Argus fell onto the floor and flipped himself back up again, "Oww,...that hurt...by the way 'mom'" Bloom giggled as her 'son' dusted himself off. "Yes my 'son' ?" "Aren't I the first male Keeper of the Dragon Fire ?" "Yes you are and yet you're not,I know this is confusing but you are the reincarnation of the first male keeper understand ?" Argus slowly nodded as he somehow understood her explanation.
"So,...'mom'.Why are we here ?" Argus asked as he looked around the antechamber that they had just entered,the walls were bare with the exception of faded tapestries that held the symbol of an element for each turned to Bloom and asked her another question, "If we're in my subconscious then what about the other me that's with Daphne and Skye ?" Bloom created a bubble that was like a crystal ball,it showed him in a luxurious bed being tended by Daphne the Nymph and another of him sleeping on the forest ground. "I guess you found out,what you think is the dreamworld is actually the Spirit Realm,basically Heaven,we just summon your spirit to us and as a minor side-effect,your clothes get changed depending on your personality...and as for the reason that your subconscious is represented like this,let me just show you." Bloom raised her hands as a staircase 'sprouted' from the ground into the air and Bloom motioned for Argus to get on but he shook his head in decline,Bloom frowned at this, "Either you do as I say or have fun running 2 miles up these stairs!" Argus quickly hopped on as the spiral stairway spiraled into the 'sky',closer to their destination.
After the stairway stopped moving,Bloom stepped onto the edge of a dark platform but Argus was no where in sight but a moaning was heard when Argus walked in an unbalanced manner with a hand over his slightly green face,threatening to vomit but like his last experience,he held it in ending with a small belch that was barely audible as he walked onto the platform. When Argus first stepped onto the platform,it lit up,blinding Argus as he shielded his eyes with his arms while Bloom was unaffected by the light.
After the light died down,Argus opened his eyes to see the platform he stood on held his own portraits,each one showed him in a different armors as well as his posture,as he looked beyond the platform he was standing on,he saw a series of platforms connected to the one he was standing on by bridges and staircases in a straight line. Argus was feeling a sense of deja vu as he had seen these kind of platforms before,except that they didn't hold any portraits or murals but to Argus' line of sight and the distance,statues of various people seem to be in place of the portraits but their features were indistinct because of the distance. "Argus,...let me show you a little something..." Argus nodded as he followed Bloom towards the first platform in front of them,as he got closer,Argus started recognizing a few of them,one was the unmistakable profile of his sister,Rosa Divina Erakliones with a cheerful smile on her face but he knew that his sister is really a kind of girl that likes to play started making faces at it despite it being just a statue.
"Argus,stop fooling around. I have something to tell you." the young prince grumbled slightly as he was scolded by a mother that had the appearance of a younger girl. Oh the irony! "What was that!" Bloom retorted as she wanted to have a little fun with him. "Nothing!" Bloom nodded as she conjured up several spheres of light that quickly flew towards each statue and started projecting images of several people.
Argus recognized a few like his new friend,Trevor who was currently fixing the Space Spider,another image was of his sister cleaning up Kiko with a napkin while she also tickled the came the ones that he didn't know,one showed a group of four women,well three women and one girl having a pillow fight with each other as well as a few other miscellaneous people,one of the women was the one he saw on the second gateway turned to a different image that also a group of four people walking down a familiar hallway,all of them looked like they were ready for a war or something as they were armed with outdated but still lethal weapons,one of them was the blue-haired man kissing the woman. The images switched to make room for another image of a young man arranging a file folder while taking a peek at a young woman who was sleeping in a bed beside him.
Argus chuckled as he recognized the symptoms of falling in love. "Don't laugh at other's expense,especially when your in the same situation!" Argus blushed slightly as he knew what she meant but denied it and stuttered out, "I-I don't know what your talking about!" Bloom gave Argus a look that said 'I-don't-believe-you' which Argus cringed at. As he looked at the ever changing images,he saw one of an elf wearing a posh suit reading a book which then changed to show a young man wearing a loose cloak,pickpocketing some unsuspecting felt like wanting to jump in and stop his actions but Bloom asked him to watch further,the thief took the money but saw that the victim's child wanted to buy a toy for his child so he quickly slipped the wallet back into the man's pocket.
"I see,a thief with a good heart.,but what does this have to do with anything ?" Bloom stopped the images that showed the thief wandering about. "This interpretations of your subconscious is quite unique as the place we're at now shows your destiny." Argus went wide-eyed and stood back from Bloom as if she was crazy but remained in his new position to hear what she had to say, "...these images show your future friends and allies who you'll meet in events yet to come true...but you must not remember any of this and which is why after the next image,I'll erase your memory of you ever being here." Bloom used her magic to fuse the images together to create a giant screen that showed Reina reading an ancient tome while in an unfamiliar location but Argus noticed a few Specialists in the background,kneeling on the ground picking up herbs and flowers.
Argus saw a Great Dragon watching over them and he also saw a 'shadow' slinking around the area before it slipped away into a different room before sounds of metal being pounded was heard,a small explosion was heard after which to Argus' great surprise a horde of dragons that had wild looks in their eyes charge in,but to the young prince's relief they were pushed back by a stream of fire from the Great Dragon's mouth while Reina and the Specialists retreated to another room. "Reina!" Argus tried jumping through the image as if it were a portal but he passed through it before falling face first onto the platform.
He suddenly felt a feeling of being pulled back as his memories of him seeing the statues were unknowingly being erased.
After a while,he found himself jumping out of a comfy bed with Bloom at the foot of the bed,rubbing her rear end as it was sore from landing so hard. "What happened,why am I in bed ?" Argus looked at his 'mother' as he asked another question, "Why did we end up here when you asked me to follow you up those 'stairs' ?" Bloom sighed in relief as she managed to erase the correct amount of his memories, "Nothing Argus,just nothing but I believe that it's time that you go back to the realm of the living." Argus instantly fell asleep as Bloom waved her arms at him,sending him back to his body. "Bloom,did you show him the 'warning' ?" Bloom smiled as she brushed past Daphne and said, "Let's say that I got my chance to play 'prophet' with him." Daphne just stood there like a statue as the future of future of the Magix Dimension hangs in the balance and her sister just played around with the mind of it's possible savior,the Nymph sighed in frustration as she also exited the room.

(70 S.D,Bachtain University,Day 2)
Thomas was inside a circular room along with several of his students just watching him as he fumbled with the control panel for the holo-deck(1),he kept whispering through a communicator and received instructions, "What do you mean that I pushed in the wrong commands!" Thomas whispered angrily at the holographic image of Robert Leingod who seemingly was walking down one of the school's hallway. "Forget it,I'm coming over to help." with that Robert cut off his connection with Thomas' communicator. The young 'teacher' heard laughing from his students behind him so he turned around and found,to his surprise,another 'him' in front of himself.
"What in the Dicken's!" Thomas exclaimed as he drew out his sword,the double took out his sword as well and went into a fighting stance that was the same as the his. "Want to duel eh?...Well then,shall we?" the doubler nodded as it took the initiative as it rushed at him with it's sword swinging in quick moves. Thomas sidestepped the attack and attempted to knock his opponent out with a swift knock on the back of 'his' head with the hilt of his sword but the attack was stopped when the double turned around and blocked the attack with his own sword,setting off sparks from the impact. Thomas let out a sweeping kick to knock down his other but he jumped away,leaving an opening for Thomas to attack which he quickly used as he thrust out his weapon but all he managed to do was inflict a minor cut on his opponent's shoulder but no blood leak through the cut even though the cut was evident. "Okay...this is starting to scare me." Thomas muttered under his breath as he charged the other 'him' who smirked that served to anger him further as he began his assault on his double.
While the fight continued,the group of students watched in awe as their teacher fought against his double with an amazing display of swordsmanship,while Sophia pondered in her mind whether or not Thomas knows that he's only fighting a solid holographic image of himself. As the duel went on,the class had separated into cheering groups,one for Thomas and the other for the hologram program which was kind of foolish since the program was just a computerized version of their teacher,unfortunately,there was one advantage that the program has,unlimited stamina. Sophia had just realized this so she sneaked off towards the terminal that monitored the programs parameters and to her shock,the program had more advantages than just unlimited energy,it's parameters were maxed out...meaning that it could kill him in a heartbeat and she also saw of the commands he unknowingly inputed earlier, Level 50 Battle A.I ? as if on cue,several holograms of huge monsters appeared in the holo-deck,one of the students thought it was a joke so he walked up to it in an arrogant manner and slapped the hide of an ape-like monster that responded by punching him real hard,sending him flying into the wall which dented from the impact,knocking the student out cold.
After that,the rest of the class instantly panicked and made a mad dash to the exit but it was blocked by a monster that resembled a pterodactyl with a man that was clad head to toe in black armor,he also carried a lance that was also black,the man spoke to the students in a medieval style, "Hark!Villainous peasants dare defy the king!Thou shall be slain by my sword!" the panicked students screamed before running off in several directions. Sophia was also unsafe as an overgrown version of a Horned-Beetle charged at her,she ducked out of the way before the over-sized insect ram its horns into the terminal,damaging it as it set off crackles of electricity as it started to do weird programs like creating weather in the form of a rainstorm in the night.
With the feel of atmosphere changed,Thomas became more tense as he saw his double leading a group of 'monsters' against the defenseless students who were running about,avoiding the monsters. Come on Tom!Think!Think!How do I fight these beasts with just a sword! He then heard the speakers call out, 'Sword Master,Adonis Klein,Level AAA has joined the battlefield-Sword Master,Arthur Klein,Level AAA has joined the battlefield' Thomas was relieved when he saw Fayt and Robert clad in holographic armor and armed with swords that the holograms provided for them(imagine the first battle in Star Ocean) charging at the monsters as they protected the students from the monsters but two people can only do so saw Thomas running towards them,he quickly shouted out between dodging, "Computer!Registration for Thomas Leingod!Selection,Sword Master,Level cheat triple Alpha!" A series of beeps were heard before the speakers replied 'Registration for Sword Master,Adrian Klein,Level AAA complete,please enjoy your game' Thomas' clothes were immediately covered by digital armor like Fayt and Robert's and his sword seemed to glow before it seem to be also covered in the holographic light. With the armor's program increasing his strength,Thomas raised his sword,he joined the other two fighters to repel the attacks on his students.

(Present,Galactical Enterprise,Security 2nd Level,Central Core)
The small group have reached a big room that was enveloped in bright light that was so bright,Fayt had to take out a three dark visors that the others quickly put on except Izak who just switched his internal 'eyes' to suit the their eyesight had settled,they saw a massive sphere of energy being created by several Digitizers,Izak promptly scanned the sphere and reported his findings to Fayt, "Sir,I've finished my analysis and found that the 'sphere' is an 'egg' that registers an energy value of Magnitude 2.5." Fayt's eyes widened in surprise and asked Izak, "If the 'egg' contains that much energy,how much would it register should it 'hatch' ?" Izak shook his head,showing that even him, an android with the state-of-the-art equipment has no clue on what could happen next.
As if by coincidence,the lights dimmed as the Digitizers slid back into the wall paneling which let the three remove their visors before the 'egg' started to took extra precautions and took out two of his favorite swords,the Veinslay and his ever trusty Levantine,Albel quickly switched his claw arm for a cybernetic version that his comrades gave him,the tips gave off electricity each time he tapped the claws together and armed it with the Crimson Scourge,giving the blade an electrical set the power on his Valorous Gauntlets to the maximum as the gloves hummed to just stood there with his arms turned into gatling guns that looked heavy but his robotic body allowed him to aim it perfectly.
When the 'egg' finally opened,a temporary blindness was inflicted on the group as the inside of the 'shell' let loose a white light that glared in their eyes even the blindness wore off,a strange sight greeted Fayt,the enemy they were going to face was huge and was also familiar to him as well as to Cliff and Albel, "Hey guys,are you thinking what I'm thinking ?"The two nodded in confirmation, "Thought so." the metal giant they were going to face was an eerily resemblance to the previous enemies that they defeated in their earlier adventures four years ago put together,it had two Battlecopters for arms as the propellers spun around dangerously Note to self,stay away from it's arms The torso was made up of a larger version of the security droids own torso which easily showed that the armor was quite thick,the legs were larger versions of the Interceptor's own spider-like limbs,only more heavily armored. The head was an odd version of an over sized metallic skull with deep crimson lights as pupils in the dark abyss of an eye sockets which flared to life as it made its way towards Fayt and started to ask for the pass like the first droid had, "Please present Security Card." Fayt shook his head as he ducked under the spinning blades that sliced at the spot where his head was a moment ago.
Izak opened fire with the gatling guns when Fayt was at a safe distance as each shot discharged created shockwaves of energy as the laser bullets were sent flying at their target at the rate of 100 rounds per second but it was all blocked when the Metal Titan used the propellers as active shields that repelled the attack With his guns overheating from the extensive usage of laser bullets,Izak changed his gatling guns into a bizarre choice of weaponry as the hands were just metal but the fingers have become an array of lethal blades. Also he changed his fighting style as well since it became evident when he ran up the walls and used the momentum to ran along the ceiling until he was directly above it. Izak stood still and let gravity take control as he positioned his arm-blades to slice off the head...but the Metal Titan was ready and looked at Izak before it's 'eyes' fired off two streams of lasers,enveloping Izak in the crimson ray of light.
Instead of being vaporized,Izak crashed into the wall and there wasn't a single scratch on him as he lay there,sounds of his system shutting down were heard as he slumped his head. They now knew that the red beam was an E.M.P blast,down by one fighter,Fayt tightened the grip on his swords but relaxed it as he put them away before shouting out to Cliff and Albel, "Guys!Get Izak out of here!Now!" both of his comrades realized what he was going to do so they ran over to where Izak was,Albel tried picking him up but the heavy robotic body dragged him down, "Damn!This maggot is too heavy!" Cliff ignored his complaint as he easily grabbed Izak and put him on his back before gesturing for Albel to follow him towards safety.
When the others got away from the area,Fayt slowly walked towards the Metal Titan that was observing him,sensing nothing that this human could do to harm it so it let him approach it and set it's sensors on the his comrades who were retreating away.
When it tried to pursue them,it felt a strong force that made it stop dead in it's tracks,it scanned around for the cause of hindering it of its finally sets it's optical sensors on Fayt who was giving off an incredible amount of power that was evident as the air around him were rushing around him,creating a weak but fast tornado that intrigue the Metal Titan as this 'anomaly' was attempting to stop him and deep inside its system core,next to it was the disconnected emotion chip that suddenly sparked of a charge,reconnecting it's severed wires as best as it could and the first emotion it felt was arrogance and anger at Fayt who just looked at it with a calm but defiant expression.
The Metal Titan stomped towards Fayt and attempted to kill him with a barrage of lasers from the guns and cannons from the Battlecopter-arms but a blue aura enveloped Fayt in the form of a pair of 'angel-like wings' that disintegrated each and every particle of lasers that got too close. When the firing stopped,the wings had dissipated and the guns that the mecha used had overheated and needed to cool down so they were retracted into their compartments inside the hulking mech and increased the spinning of the Battlecopter's propellers and moved in for the kill but before it could even get within five feet of Fayt,a chunk of one of it's many legs was surrounded by a sphere of symbols before a shout was heard 'Destruction Sphere!' and the leg joint was gone,slightly crippling the mech as the body weight crippled it further,seriously slowing down its movement as the other legs kept getting tangled up with the damaged one.
While the Metal Titan was struggling to adjust to it's new 'arrangement' of its legs,Fayt took the opportunity to start the preparation for the strongest attack that his Destruction Gene could manifest. Fayt took out the Levantine as a medium for his still unstable powers. The air surrounding Fayt circled around him,and it suddenly stopped when Fayt slashed at the misty air that quickly dispersed. When the mist finally cleared,Fayt had sprouted out a pair of silver white wings from his back,his eyes were glowing and eerie blue-white light. The second emotion that the Metal Titan felt was fear as Fayt flapped his wings,lifting him into the air with a few feathers falling off the wings,giving him the look of an ethereal being. The terrified Titan tried to escape but the feathers that had fallen earlier were now restraining it in an energy field.
Trapped with no where else to go,the Metal Titan decided to give a last pitch at victory and so it did as the still cooling guns came out and prepared to open fire but the sudden heat from the lasers together with the cooling agent meant disastrous results as the guns imploded,leaving gaping holes in it's body. It looked on in fear as Fayt floated in the air,with his Levantine over his head and if anyone looked closer,they would see a glowing figure of an angel made of symbology holding a sword over her head when Fayt aimed his sword at Metal Titan,ready to unleash his destructive powers upon the cowering mech.
The Destruction Gene encoded in his blood started glowing,giving Fayt the destructive powers of a god. Channeling the powers through his fingertips and into the Levantine as he called out his attack, 'Ethereal Blast!' an immense amount of destructive energy quickly collected around Fayt and fired a blinding beam of light with the Levantine not far Metal Titan tried to escape by using the propellers turned hooks clawed it's way away from it's inevitable destruction and it shook it's head as the destructive beam of symbology hit it dead on,the beam of energy tore away the armor piece by piece before it was vaporized into nothing.
When the attack was over,the Metal Titan's body was barely intact but still operational but it all ended when the Levantine came down on its head,plunging itself deep into it's core which resulted in it exploding in an impressive display of 'fireworks'.
Fayt landed softly on his feet before falling on his knees with exhaustion as the strain of using that attack took it's toll on him. Breathing heavily,Fayt took out a Physical Enhancer and injected its contents into his bloodstream,feeling his energy returning. Fayt slowly stood up and reached his hand out towards the pile of scarp that was the Metal Titan and the Levantine instantly disappeared in sparkles of light before reappearing in Fayt's hand,the Levantine also had the ability to choose it's own master and will return to its master's when called for. As Fayt sheathed his weapon,he heard fighting from the corridor that Cliff and Albel along with Izak escaped to. He pulled out the Dragoon Laser before running to aid his friends.

(King's Cross,Forest area near Red Fountain)
Trevor had just completed the repairs on the Space-Spider and was currently preparing breakfast from the food in his survival pack as he saw Argus' pack was burnt to a crisp when he opened to blackened pack to dump out a pile of ash. The food was dehydrated so all he needed was some water from his canteen and a breakfast was not much as it only consisted of some slices of what looked like ham and some bread,it wasn't the best breakfast but his hungry stomach wasn't picky so his split the breakfast into equal shares with Argus and dug into his ham sandwich.
After finishing his breakfast,he saw Argus' wounds have fully healed but was still asleep which started to disturb him as time passed on,he slowly approached the seemingly sleeping form of Argus. Trevor poked him in the ribs and he didn't even stir,so as to asses his condition,he felt for a pulse and to his shock,there was none. Fearing for the worst,Trevor panicked and started shaking Argus about and when he stopped there was no change in his condition. Thinking that he could 'revive' him with an electrical shock. Bringing out a flash-stick from his pocket,he converted it into a device that produce an electrical shock similar to that of the ones used at hospitals.
Before the electrical tips could shock Argus,his eyes instantly opened wide and saw the device in Trevor's hands and screamed, "Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" this scared the living daylights out of Trevor as he dropped the still-activated device which gave Argus a quick but painful shock. After the batteries died away from the one powerful shock,Argus was fine for the most as the Dragon Fire's powers quickly healed him but his uniform was singed but was remedied when he used a quick-fix spell,leaving it as new as the time it came out of it's package. "Okay,one quick question:What were you trying to do!Electrocute Squish (sound effects,expect more) me ?" Argus asked as he upturned his boots to see a squashed sandwich.
"Umm...er Argus,I-I thought you were dead or something so I t-tried reviving you b-b-but you..." Trevor was slipping back into his normal shy self again as he stuttered at Argus' question he stopped when he saw Argus was busy scrapping the sandwich off his boots.
"Alright now,since I ruined my own breakfast. I guess we should be going then." Trevor nodded as he pushed a button on the Space-Spider,a holographic screen opened up,showing a map of the area, "Cool!A map and it says that they're a few minutes ride away from Red Fountain,did you install it ?" Trevor nodded as he showed Argus a small rucksack that contained miscellaneous tools and parts. Argus smiled as he now knows that his new friend is a 'keeper',albeit on the shy side but he believed that Trevor will be a great friend plus the fact that he had a nagging feeling that told him that he'll be a valuable asset in the future as well as the thoughts of a certain girl in his mind.
He had no idea what kind of surprise he'll get when he gets back to Red Fountain as the Space-Spider sped of into the sky where they had a spectacular view of Red Fountain but for a moment there,Argus suddenly felt a chill went down his spine making him a bit paranoid as the last time that happened,something bad happened. An omen?...Let's hope not... Argus thought and decided to shake off the feeling so he asked Trevor, "Trevor,is the turbo on this thing operational ?" Trevor smirked as he gave Argus the thumbs up and Argus in turn flipped open a panel that revealed a big red button with faded-out words that said 'Turbo' and pushed it but to his disappointment,nothing happened but Trevor was doing a countdown, "...8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and away we go!" the thrusters hummed to life and in a burst of blue flames,the Space-Spider zoomed off towards Red Fountain and above the roars of the engine were the screams of excitement.
Author's note:Congratulations to you Elina,you got the correct answer...well you a technically wrong since the vision of Reina and the others were erased but you are also right so as a reward,hmmm. How about a chance of being a character in my story,then again,I'm already tied up thinking up another character for another reviewer. How about being a moderator for my forum,it's not much but maybe you can improve it,so do you want it. Tell me in your review but of course you have to log in so I can find your profile ,here's the explantion for the chapter
1.)Holo-deck:If any of you are Star Ocean fans,then you'll know what it means but for those who don't well here's the explanation:Holo-decks are basically rooms that project images like that of a communicator but the images are more realistic and one chooses,the images can become solid if the settings are a person is in need of adventure,they can select a program that lets them become the hero or villain of a story or video game but if the settings are miscalculated,the 'pain' experienced in the virtual world could kill a person so its highly advised that all usage of Holo-decks are to be supervised by experienced users or the voice-activated program in which the computer does the calculations for you.(long,isn't it)
