(Dragon City Ruins,Central Dome,Inner Chamber)
The group had retreated earlier into the innermost chamber in the dome and had quickly set up a make-shift bunker from the rubble scattered about before a large number Rouge Dragons poured in through the number of entrances in the circular room and with that,the Specialists started firing with the Concussion Cannons they had set up earlier,knocking out each dragon it hit without killing them but the cannons can only do so much as the room was being swarmed as the number of Rouge Dragons started increasing.
In the middle of this chaos was Reina casting barriers around to ward off any fire-breath attacks by the dragons until she noticed a small crack starting to form on the floor but before she could warn the others the floor collapsed,taking the Rouge Dragons with it as well as Reina and the others but Zian managed to save them all again and dug his claws deep into the walls,he then tried to flap his wings but they bashed against the walls of the narrow hole but Reina saw a ledge just a few feet below them and gestured Zian to go to it who snorted before he slowly made his way towards the ledge.
Above the hole was Dragonaut with a sphere of dark energy collecting in his scaly claws before he flung it straight at Zian's it made contact with his eye,Zian's scales started turning a darker shade and his claws changed from pure white to deep black, I...I-I'm turning...r-r-rouge! He quickly flung the Specialists from his back before turning into his human form,negating the effects of turning rouge but he felt a pair slender arms clinging onto him. Too heavy! Zian thought before his grip on the wall weakened and fell down,completely missing the ledge as well as the attempted rescue by the Specialists who launched a grappling hook but the laser string reached its limits as the energy output was pushed to the max. Screams from the two were heard as they fell down through the dark abyss and only one thing went through Reina's thoughts as she fell, Argus!Please save me!Argus!!!! A tear was shed as she continued falling down into the dark hole.

(Red Fountain,Hanger Bay on 3rd Floor of School Tower)(FYI: The floating tower now serves as the Main Armory/Dorms)
Specialists and technicians were shuffling about,either replacing worn out parts,repairing cruisers or just idling there but the idle ones stopped being idle as Headmaster Arune Saladin entered the hangar,accompanied by Orwen Cordatorta,Lord of the Fortress of Light. In the far left corner of the hangar was kept an impressive collection of Hovercycles,from the basic Wind-Rider to the latest Space-Binder and all of them belonged to Argus Erakliones who left them behind for safekeeping. The Royal Emblem of Eraklion showed that the vehicles were of his property.
Suddenly,the sounds of a jet engine was heard but none of the machines in the hangar were activated but they saw the transmission monitors shouting out a message 'Open the hangar doors now!' the technicians ran towards the nearest terminals and opened every single hangar-door in the room,since the message didn't indicate which door they'll be going in watched along with Cordatorta with good guesses of who the message came from and they were both right when a Space-Spider came barreling in through a hangar-door that just opened,and at an incredible speed,it would've crashed but it suddenly stopped and the sonic boom followed,scattering a few random parts that were unsecured in their the Space-Spider landed,Argus hopped off the vehicle and walked up to Saladin and saluted him with a grin on his face, "Rescue mission complete...Now,can I have some food,I didn't have breakfast yet." a groan was heard from his stomach which made Saladin laugh softly while Cordatorta laughed loudly, "Okay then!Let's get you a big breakfast,you too young man!" Trevor nodded as his stomach was also groaning as they followed Saladin to the dining hall.
(Minutes later,Dining Hall)
Argus and Trevor were seated beside Saladin with Rylon and Orwen on either side at the teacher's table with a sizable breakfast set in front of them, "Well then my students,you look hungry...dig in." and they did,as they stuffed their faces with food. Orwen pointed out that the two had healthy appetites and the three men laughed while the two Specialists 'ravaged' the food in front of them. 'Argus!!!!' Argus dropped his eating untensils onto the table with a loud clang as his thoughts were pierced by another. The four other people at the table looked at him weirdly as he held his head between his hands as he shook his head about like someone who's going mad. 'Argus!Save me!Please save me!Argus!!!' Argus fell back as he felt the force of a punch hit him before he tilted his chair backward.
Ughh...what hit me ?...Wait!Where's Reina!Reina!!" Saladin and the others covered their ears as his shouts were loud. "Oh!You mean Miss Reina ? Well,she's off to find Dragon Weed to cure the unfortunate ones in the medical tent below...they have less than 10 hours to live..." the last part was spoken softly but Argus heard it and started laughing. "What's so funny!" Argus just laughed as he promptly pulled out a few items from his pockets,a packet of silverdust,a few blades of grass,and lastly what looked like a phial of potion and laid these all on the table. "Observe the powers of Sparx's and Eraklions magi-science,Alchemy!" the others stood there as Argus performed a strange form of alchemy,he gathered two spheres of magic in his hand,and he merged them together by clapping them against each other before slamming it down on the three items on the table. "Tada!Instant Dragon Weed Essence!" he removed his hands to see a vial of purplish red liquid that was smoking. Orwen grabbed it and examined it, "By god!It is Dragon Weed Essence!" Argus had a wide grin on his face, "Yep!Just cast a duplication spell and you'll have all the cures you need...oh and about Reina...What were you thinking,sending her out to the Wildlands!" Argus' mood instantly changed from calm and happy to angry and dangerous Rylon backed away with Trevor in tow as Argus' emotions have sometimes controlled his powers which was a dangerous thing,even the mighty Orwen Cordatorta cringed slightly at Argus' incredibly fierce aura he sensed,his own aura was dwarfed by Argus',only Saladin remained calm as he experience similar characteristics from Skye back when he had an argument with Bloom during their sophomore year,although Bloom was the one with the magical powers.
"Forgive me,Argus but I didn't know about...your new powers so I had no choice but to allow her to do what she believed was the best option." Argus ignored Arune's explanation as he opened up a portal, "Argus!What are you doing!" "To where Reina is..." but after he entered the portal,he was shortly 'ejected' before it blinked out, "You should know Argus,that the Wildlands prevent usage of magic,including that of the Dragon Fire." "Darn!...Headmaster,what's the fastest vehicle we have!" Saladin shook his head as he denied Argus' request. He started walking away until Trevor stood in front of Arune, "Sir,what transport did they use and what were it's serial-numbers ?" Rylon took out a small metallic ball that projected the image of a Dropship with it's serial numbers which were DL-M21 and when he saw the numbers,he pumped his fists into the air and pulled out his own Projection Orb,and it created three images,one was the Dropship they saw earlier,another was a bunch of calculations while the last one was of the school's Simulator Room, "Gentlemen!I believe that we've found our transportation!Argus,would you please open a portal to the Simulator ?" Argus arched his eyebrows but opened it nonetheless and just at that moment,Sera ran into the room and right through the portal. "What the,come on get in." Argus gestured towards the others but Orwen said that he needed to deliver the antidote to the patients. "I also need to go as I have a few matters to attend to,would Instructor Ortedus follow them and report to us later."The three nodded as they went through the portal before it closed.
(Simulator Room)
Sera Slifer was unhappy that she somehow ended up in the Simulator Room when she wanted to grab a bite in the Dining Hall so she started practicing her fighting on a couple of monsters the simulator produced and started slicing and dicing them up with the claw and saber in her hands and sensed a presence behind her and sent her saber flying towards the 'presence',she heard the sound of the saber missing but she was surprised when she heard yelling, "What in the hell was that about Sera!" Sera turned around to see Argus' cape pinned to the wall,he pulled it out and handed it back to Sera who hugged him as she welcomed him back.
Sera apologized to Argus before she asked what he wanted, "Well...I'm going to the Wildlands to get Reina back here and Trevor here's going to help me,how I don't know but I don't care how he's going to do it." Sera grew curious as she wasn't informed that Reina was in the Wildlands, "So,Argus...need any help on this one,cause by the look of things,your equipment must be worn out their charge by now,here grab the package over there,it came for you during your mission." Argus saw a package similar to the one his uniform came from,he opened it and found a note with a smaller package inside,it said:
'I thought you might need a boost in future battles. From Saladin'
Argus folded the note before put it back into the package and took out the smaller package and it felt heavy so he slowly opened it to find another pair of armbands similar to the one Rylon gave him but it was different and it said so on a tag attached to it:
Thank you Headmaster Saladin for ordering the unreleased Battle-Armbands GX3000,the customizations you specified have been added. Hope your top Specialist uses this in many victorious battles. From Galactical Enterprise President,Olsen Wittcomb'
Argus looked to his arms to see the still badly damaged Battle-Bands and he thoughtfully removed them and turned the damaged Battle-Band turned into specks of light that moved towards the new Battle-Armbands before it started shinning with a new shape forming from the object. After the light dimmed Argus' new equipment was ready,a combination of the two armbands was created through alchemy.
"Okay!We're ready!I've set the timer for five minutes,so for those going will have to enter the Simulator,now!" the others were already in the Simulator,Trevor was the only one running to the a while,the Simulator started activating just at the same time Trevor got in. The simulator didn't start a hologram but it did increase the room's lighting to a blinding effect. "Trevor!What did you do!" Argus covered his eyes with his upraised arms but he saw Trevor also shielding his eyes and heard him call out, "Don't worry!Just wait for a minu-" he couldn't hear Trevor any longer as he suddenly felt intense pain shoot through his body as he felt it being pulled apart bit by bit and painfully too,the others also went through the same process as their body was being literally disassembled. After the machines stopped,the Simulator Room was completely empty.

(Dragon City Ruins,Underground Passage,Specialist Group)
The four Specialists have been trying to contact Reina and Zian for the past twenty minutes already until a beep was heard from the transmitter that one of them slipped into Reina's pouches. The captain saw this and took a survival kit from their small supply pile and began a jump down but was stopped by his team. "Captain!Are you mad!" he struggled free and started giving out orders.
"Either I go down and get her back safely or all of us are going to face Saladin!I'm your squad leader so listen up!All of you try and make it back to the Dropship to call for help while I go down there and get her and our dragon-friend to safety,the scanners should be able to figure out a route out. Got it!" his friends reluctantly nodded as they began packing their equipment for the trip back to the surface.
"Here I go!!" the Captain made a dash before jumping towards the tunnel's wall and used the momentum to jump from side to side in a zigzag line down into the dark hole. His team members by then were done packing and gave a salute before starting their hopefully safe and short trip back to the surface but the 'safe' part was denied when a Rouge Dragon spotted trio of Specialists pulled out their weapons and charged at the roaring dragon.

(Galactical Enterprise,Security Level 3)
Fayt and his friends have fought their way through a rather small number of security-droids so they had little trouble except that Izak was still inactive so Cliff was stuck carrying him while Fayt and Albel did the fighting. They had fought their way towards a teleporter which had taken them to a room that was empty save for the transporter they came through. Cliff whistled before putting Izak in a sitting position on the floor, "Sure is a big room ain't it,this is usually the time we would get one monster of a fight but I guess this is our lucky-" the room started rumbling before the wall panels opened up with several Spider-Tanks(imagine super tanks with mechanical legs)and they aimed the huge gun barrels at before they started charging the energy for the attack. "-day?"
'Way to jinx it!' Fayt and Albel have already started their assault on the Spider-Tanks,Albel just went berserk and started tearing up the tank's armor with the Crimson Scourge and his claw-arm while Fayt kept the Spider-Tanks on his side busy with several Fire-Bolts that circled around their targets before it finally strikes the turrets and gun barrels,rendering them useless but a few of them used Vulcan Missile Pods that flew straight at Fayt who managed to destroy them by tossing a small EM bomb at them,causing a chain reaction that ended at the Spider-Tank that had kept up firing its missiles which led to its own destruction as its own ammunition blew it up.
Cliff was busy trying to find a safe spot for Izak to be hidden at and found a suitable spot behind the transporter steps and ran off to help his friend,he created a sphere of kinetic energy and jump into the air,right above a small cluster of Spider-Tanks and yelled out 'Hammer of Might!' and slammed the sphere into the middle of the tanks,ripping their armor apart with a dome of energy wreaking havoc on their systems as well. With their circuits fried and their armor gone,Cliff delivered a strong kick that sent the cluster of weakened Spider-Tanks a good ten feet away before they exploded and as expected,more Spider-Tanks appeared with a good number of security-droids to back them up. "I guess that it's safe to say that the good ol' Commodore likes beefed up security!" Cliff tried to lighten the mood as the three were suddenly surrounded,outnumbered and the fact that every single gun barrel the robotic opponents had were aimed at them.
"Not now maggot!!" Albel yelled as he went into a defensive position,the same went for Fayt as he raised the Levantine and Veinslay in a defensive cross. Cliff only had his Valorous Gauntlets to shield himself but it was unneeded as multiple streams of lasers suddenly pierced through the throngs of mechas before them exploded. "System rebooted,ready for combat Sargent Leingod." Izak came up with a Spider-Tank's turret on one arm and a security-droid's laser gatling gun in the other,the gun's power packs were attached to the weapons themselves so Izak didn't have to waste his own power supply. Cliff whistled at the impressive strength of the android as Izak whipped the gun quickly around and fired at the remaining number of enemies.
Clapping was heard from room's exit,Fayt and the others went into a stance,ready to face off against any more challenges but all they saw was a middle-aged man wearing a business suit as well as a small squad of tough-looking bodyguards who were armed with pulse rifles. "Stand down men." the man told his bodyguards and they did so before doing a familiar salute that Fayt had seen before,Fayt put away his weapons and gestured for the others to do the same but Izak just threw down the 'gun-parts' as they weren't part of his system.
"Glad that you still recognize me Mr Leingod." Fayt chuckled as he walked towards the man in a casual manner but the others were still slightly tensed minus Izak but he fingered the Laser Weapon in his pockets warily, "Please Commodore,just call me Fayt." the others were shocked to see that the man before them was the Commodore,the Commodore was a man who's supposed to be in his early forties by now but he looked like he was in his late twenties,his face was adorned with a full dark-brown beard,his build was slightly muscular but overall,he was an average person with the exception that he was a former commodore turned successful business tycoon. "Come,I believe you've come here for important matters,correct ?" Fayt nodded as he gestured for his comrades to follow him,leaving a mess for the Digitizers to clear up.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Borderline)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
(70 S.D,Bachtain University,Holo-deck,One hour since attack)
Fayt and his father were fending off the attacks on the students quite well from the hologram-monsters but their bodies were reaching the physical limits and the cowering students couldn't help since the holo-deck's handicaps prevented them from joining as there was a 'three-player' limit. Thomas saw that someone was missing but who but he can't remember who was missing,that is until a scream was heard, "Aaaahhhh!" 'Sophia!' Thomas ran towards the direction of where Sophia's scream came from.
"Someone!Anyone!Help me!" Sophia was unarmed and was surrounded by a number of brutish-looking monsters that resembled apes and the other Thomas was their leader but this Thomas' was now completely different from the original as his clothes had changed to black with blood red trimmings and he now has a more sinister look in his face that gave him a sort of 'bad-boy' appearance. The double sheathed his sword and approached Sophia,pulled her onto her feet, leaned his face closer to hers and whispered into her ear's "You'll make a ravishing bride for me, ma pe'che ." Sophia blushed at this and also felt revolted at the same time as this Thomas was a sick and twisted version of Thomas but she also felt her heart racing for reasons unknown,an obvious possibility was that she was scared but it wasn't fear that she felt but a different emotion entirely but was uncertain of what it was. She felt her spine tingle when the double licked her cheek,leaving a trace of artificial saliva,she was grossed out by this action and pushed the double away who laughed at this before pulling out his sword. "Fine then!If that's the way you want it. I could always create a clone of you from your dead body!" 'Thomas' lunged his sword at her who tried to shield herself with her arms,knowing that her life might end at that moment as the blade got closer.
'Clang' Sophia opened her eyes to see the real Thomas holding off his other self's attack with his own weapon but he was struggling as he was at a disadvantage as the double's strength was thrice his but he had to try something. "Give it up!You'll be nothing more than materials for my new body." the doppleganger just told Thomas and Sophia his plans, "Y-you're not really a pr-pro-program are you." Sophia stuttered as she saw that Thomas was losing his footing as the artificial rain caused him to suddenly fall down. The doppleganger snickered as he raised his sword,poised for a strike, "Indeed,I'm actually a man who 'accidentally' sent his mind into the school's system and my body got destroyed in the process but this young man's body would be suitable for me." Tom was about to strike when he screamed as his hand was cleaved clear off and Fayt landed softly on his feet with a satisfied smirk on his face, "Come on!Let's move it!The students have already evacuated!" Fayt quickly ordered as Sophia helped Tomas up to his feet. "Thank you Miss Sophia...watch out!" Tom turned Sophia over quickly and used his back as a shield as the attack by Tom who had regenerated his hand earlier as well as a new sword,the strike shattered Thomas' digital body armor. Fortunately,Thomas was unharmed but slightly dazed from the force of the blow and Sophia was pinned down by his body weight. Their attacker chuckled at their predicament, "Well,well,well. Look at what we have here, ma pe'che on a platter with a delectable body dressing on top." the look-alike laughed at his own joke but now in a deeper voice that wasn't Thomas'.
"Thomas!Sophia!" Fayt yelled as he came back with his father as well as a couple of the school's security guards armed with pulse rifles. Thomas slowly stood up and helped Sophia up but Tom tried to stop him with a vertical slash but Thomas blocked it with the Astral Blade that was no longer encased in the data shell but was glowing with several sparkles of light circling around it. Robert Leingod was surprised at this phenomenon, 'The Destruction Gene ?No,Fayt has it,could it be Sophia's Connection Gene?' Robert shook his head as he continued watching,Thomas suddenly lashed out with the Astral Blade at an incredible speed that made blocking nearly impossible for his doppleganger to block it,the fighting style Thomas was watching seemed as if the sword was the one doing that fight but Thomas' body movement showed that he was still fighting himself well,sort of but to Fayt,something was bit odd, 'I know practically every sword moves that humans can do but this style is new' As the fight went on,chunks of double's holographic body was being torn away faster than he could regenerate.
"Damn you!Blade of Fury!" he unleashed a basic but strong move that with each swing of the sword downward,a wave of energy,pushing Thomas back. When he stopped skidding back,his eyes by everyone's surprise had a glazed look which meant that he was semi-conscious until it changed from it's emerald-green into what looked like a sea of stars in the blackness of space,the sword's glow became much brighter before the glow started spreading around his body until Thomas was literally covered in a misty glow that sparkled with the brilliance of the stars in space,then the mist-like glow suddenly dispersed,revealing Thomas in a completely different outfit,or rather,an armor.
Thomas was clad from head to toe in a fantasy-styled armor of silver with space-black trimmings,the suit of armor was also encrusted with diamonds that gave it an almost out of this world look,the headpiece hid the upper portion of his face making him look mysterious but dashing at the same time. Through the dark slits in the helmet,Thomas spotted his prey,his double,running towards the center of the room before more monsters appeared,acting as shields and bodyguards for him as the security guards opened fired but with no success as their guns were suddenly snatched away by a small flying dragon-monster which just chewed it up like a chew toy before spitting it out at their feet,the guns were useless then,they were definitely useless now.
The doppleganger began laughing in a mocking tone as he felt secure with his monsters protecting him, "Come at me all you want!You'll never make it past my monsters!Hahahahahah!" the security guards backed off since their attacks were useless but Robert stood in front of them with his digital sword ready for further combat but his body was aching from protecting the students but he tightened his willpower and charged at the nearest monster but with a punch from the brute,he was knocked out cold as the last drop of energy was spent. Fayt saw this and was angered,a symbol appeared on his forehead that started spinning but no one noticed it as their attention were focused on Thomas who raised his arms above him and everyone saw that his weapon was gone.
"Astral Blades!" twin blades 'sprouted' from the edge of his armbands,one was pure silver that glowed in a luminous glow while that other was as black as night with stars sparkling on it. "Sword Dance!" Thomas jumped into the air and landed in a cluster of ape-brutes and started dancing to a rhythm that resembled a solo ballet as he used the two blades to cut down his enemies as all of them went down one after another. The symbol on Fayt's forehead was gone as he looked in awe at the graceful movements of Thomas' footsteps that seemed nt to touch the ground at all as he sped up the pace with the technique as he proceeded with his graceful but deadly ballet.
Tom looked on in fear as his monsters were being decimated at a rapid pace as Thomas was almost a blur as he danced and destroyed everything that was hostile. Before he knew it his monster troops were reduced to nothing but the four ape-brutes protecting him but they soon fell over before phasing out of existence and Thomas was face to face with Tom who just grinned as he took out two swords to match Thomas' Astral Blades and tackled Thomas who was sent flying through the air but he stabbed the Astral Blades into the ground,pulling out several wires but it stopped his mid-air 'flight'. "Hmph!What a pathetic attack!" Thomas seemed to be talking in two voices,one was his own while the other was a deep voice of an older man. "I shall show you a powerful technique.
'Dimension Door!'" A black hole appeared,surrounding Thomas as he was in a position for delivering a powerful slash in a crouching position, "Ha!Your too far away to hit me!" The black-hole instantly disappeared taking Thomas with him,no one knew where he went but in an instant,he was behind Tom and delivered a cross-slash immediately destroying Tom's body and with it's 'head' slowly phasing away, " Damn you!I could've been free..." with that Thomas sliced the program's head in half before it completely dissipated and the room's speakers announced, 'Virus Infection terminated' Thomas' armor quickly disappeared in flash,leaving him in his own clothes as well as his hair color,he staggered in a daze towards Sophia before he collapsed right in front of her but before his head could hit the ground,Sophia rushed towards him,allowing him to land his head on her lap. Sophia smiled as she brushed her hand through her hero's hair as he slept on her lap,Fayt felt like wanting to hit Thomas as he was like a 'overprotective brother' to Sophia but the calmness of Thomas' face as well as Sophia's smiling face at the moment calmed him down,the artificial rain,suddenly stopped as the computer returned its system to normal but everyone was still was about to go back to his room for a change of clothes when the security guards passed him and the others,towels to dry off. Fayt looked on at Sophia as she carefully wiped the water off of Thomas' face. 'I hope Sophia can take it when he leaves...wonder what it's like to be in love' Fayt thought as he dried himself off,he also thought he saw a girl with blue hair just outside the door but she was gone when Fayt looked again, 'Who was that...well,she sure was cute.'
(School Hallway)
The young girl was running as fast as she could,her heart was racing as her thoughts kept drifting towards Fayt, 'Come on Maria!Focus!Focus!Keep your mind off of the Leingod boy!' Maria Traydor thought as she ripped off the school-uniform she disguised herself in,letting her real clothes out as she felt herself being set free,although the place was relatively safe,Maria still kept her Phase Gun in her holster in case any Federation Troops found her out. She made it outside of the school building and pulled out a remote that deactivated the cloaking device of the Eagle,Cliff's personal Cutter-class ship,she had managed to sneak off the ship when everyone was asleep on the Diplo with it,she made it under the radar surveillances of Earth but she has a few hours before the Diplo crew woke up. She activated the thrusters and launched off back into space and quickly activated the Gravitic Warp-Drive(think of it as warping)setting it right inside the Diplo's Cutter hangar and hopes that she wouldn't get caught by both the planetary patrol units or Cliff and Mirage.

(Present,Dragon City Ruins,Underground Chamber,Reina's Location)
Reina woke up groaning inside a room that were filled with dusty shelves that were occupied by corpses and she gasped as one of them seem to come to life,she wanted to scream but was stopped when it clasp it's hands over her mouth,it shushed her as it took off it's 'head' which turned out to be just a helmet and under that helmet was a young man in his early twenties,he had raven black hair with grey bangs, "Sorry about that,I guess it's been a long time since the stasis field was shut off." the man dusted himself off,showing his white and blue uniform,he looked like a racer,of what sport,she didn't know but she saw a glittering amulet on his neck,it was a gold amulet with a star as an insignia. Rumbling footsteps were heard as a weird looking dragon entered the room,it was blue with a red underbelly with white stripes bordering the two colors,the dragon was huge but it didn't look threatening so Reina lowered her hands.
"Oops!I forgot to introduce ourselves,my name is Artha Penn and this is my dragon and friend, Bucephalus but you can call him Beau for short,and you are ?" Reina scratched under Beau's big chin as the dragon 'purred' and tried leaning in for more but fell head-first onto the dusty floor,Reina curtsied in front of Artha, "I am Reina Leah Til Alexandros,princess of Alexandria." Artha snickered as he didn't believe her words,making Reina puff up her cheeks,she also conjured up an amulet that had the symbol of the Alexandrian Royal family which convinced Artha of her regal status. Artha bowed before Reina albeit,in an clumsy way. Reina giggled at the young man's antics until she heard the clip-clop of steel-toed boots, "Okay Hero boy,you better have a good explanation why you're with another girl!" A young woman entered the room,her clothes were of a colorful variety of pink,yellow and teal in a lightning fashion,her clothes,just like Artha's looked suited for racing,her hair was blue that became lighter as it grew longer,and a pink hairband were sported.
Reina quickly stepped away from Artha and waved her hands at the girl,telling her that it wasn't what it looked like. The girl laughed as she slapped Artha in the rear,making him 'squeak'. "Sorry about that,Hero boy here is my boyfriend but he tends to be too soft for his own good. By the way,I'm Kitt Wann." Reina shook Kitt's hand and introduced herself again, "Um,excuse me Kitt but have you seen a guy named Zian around,he's actually a Great Dragon in human form." the couple looked weirdly at her, "We never heard of a Great Dragon...Wait!I forgot!What year is it ?" Reina arched her eyebrows and answered the question, "Well,it's exactly the third of October in the year 5300 T.D(Time Date)" Artha sat down unceremoniously onto the dusty floor, "Man,we're too late...by 1000 years,Dragon City must be in ruins by now." Kitt hugged her boyfriend to comfort him, "It's okay Artha,it's okay." Artha sighed in frustration and lashed out at Kitt, "What are you talking about!I couldn't stop those Army of Decay!I'm the hero!I'm the Dragon Booster for god sakes!" Artha pushed Kitt away before running off,leaving the two girls and dragon behind. "Umm,I don't mean to pry but what's a Dragon Booster ?" Stomping was heard and Beau bared his teeth as he growled at the entrance just behind Reina,Zian walked through it and he was holding his head between his hands as he moved about until he suddenly felt better and stood straight.
"Okay,now that I've got that out of my mind-" Beau suddenly glowed a bright color of gold before launching a ray of light that sent Zian flying but he quickly recovered from it. "Stop this dragon-kin.I am one of your kind... Arghh!" Zian's eyes glowed dark-red before he went berserk as he transformed halfway through to his dragon form but it looked like he was trying to stop it. "Wyldfyr!Mag-Blast!" Kitt yelled out as a two legged red dragon ran in before sending a blast of red energy,this time forming a restraint on Zian. "Kitt!What's wrong with Zian!" Reina was scared at the dark and sinister look in Zian's reptilian eye and the look of suffering in the human one. "He's infected with the Rouge Draconium Virus!I have the antidote,Beau!Help Wyldfyr hold him down!" Beau nodded as he sent out a bolt of gold light at Zian,creating a stronger field of energy to restrain Zian. Meanwhile,Kitt took pulled out what looked like a small pod but it extended in a bo-staff with a syringe-like point at it's tip,she inserted a vial of what look like liquid the staff before throwing it at Zian with a direct hit as the contents of the vial was injected into his bloodstream which resulted in a thunderous roar that threatened to make them deaf.
After the roaring stopped,Reina removed the sound buffer that she created earlier to protect their ear drums,although Beau'ss movement was slightly wobbly as his sensitive ears picked up the roaring even with the buffer but he recovered when he shook his huge head but he knocked against of the shelves,making the 'corpse' fall down, "Beau!Be careful with my Rider Gear!" Kitt dusted the 'gear' off and Reina saw a sort of a seat similar to those of the Wind-Riders but it looked more advanced and ancient at the same time. Reina looked at the heaving form of Zian in his human body,she cautiously approached him, "Zian...are you fine now,I can cast a healing spell,although the effect it'll have is quite minor since I never paid to much attention in class." Zian smiled at Reina's seemingly unlimited kindness before he slowly turned to a sitting position and said in slow breaths, "I..will...be fine...just let...me rest...for...a...bit." Zian slumped over in his sitting position and snoring was heard from him.
"He's asleep but he'll wake up in a few minutes,the air here helps speed up the healing process of any living creature." Kitt reassured Reina as she dusted off the 'corpses' and like the one before them they were also 'gear' but all of them looked different,one looked like a sleek red pod with the number 8 printed on it,but she didn't have time to examine the other 'gears' further as Artha ran into the room screaming with a pack of Rouge Dragons chasing after him,he quickly slammed the door shut before the ravenous reptiles could get to the door but pounding was heard as the wild dragons started ramming it,creating huge dents in the door. "Beau!Mag on your gear!And get me my armband!" Beau nodded as his body once again glowed and sent out bolts of energy throughout the room,pulling several 'gears' from the shelves and onto him as Beau magnetized a number of gears onto his body in an assorted manner that made him look like a Battle-Dragon(1) that were part of Alexandria's cavalry unit. Beau also sent a 'Mag-Blast' towards a mound of dust before pulling out a golden armband towards Artha, "Thanks Beau!" Artha climbed onto the rider-gear behind Beau's head and took out the star insignia from the amulet and inserted it into a star-shaped slot on the armband that he equipped, "Release the Dragon!" Artha was suddenly surrounded by golden lights that swirled around him,turning his clothes into a blue-body armor with golden armor plates on the various body parts like his limbs and chest armor,there was also a V-shaped pack on his back and the helmet looked like a dragon's head with the mouth area open with a visor covering his eyes.
When the transformation was complete,Reina saw that Beau had suddenly changed into a black dragon with gold stripes outlining his body as well as fin-like appendages below the crook of his neck. "Okay boy,we're ready for anything now!" Artha pulled out a blocking-staff as the door suddenly burst opened with Rouge Dragons rushing in after another but were stopped by a burst of flames from Kitt and Wyldfyr who had a pair of thrusters producing the flames, "Reina!Get your friend out of here,Artha and I will hold them off!" Reina used a spell to decrease Zian's weight as she carried him away to safety but the door that was suppose to lead to safety but it was suddenly blocked off by a hideous beast that was a hybrid of a Juggernaut and a Great Dragon,namely, "Dragonaut!" Beau launched Artha into the air with a Mag-Bolt,charging his armor with energy and Artha channeled the energy by launching a barrage of gold energy bolts through his hands but Dragonaut created a wall of dark energy,absorbing the blasts.
"Hehehe,still angry that your attempt at time traveling failed eh,Dragon Booster ?" Dragonaut laughed before breathing a stream of fire at him,sending him flying through the wall,creating a huge hole that Beau jumped into to help Artha as well as a number of Rouge Dragons that managed to slip through Kitt's defense. "Artha!" Kitt yelled as she and Wyldfyr also jumped through the hole,leaving Reina with an unconscious Zian to fend for themselves but Zian opened his eyes and leapt from Reina's grip and into the air before turning to his dragon-form, "Ha!I haven't felt this invigorated since I was a pup!" Zian roared as he unleashed a huge stream of fire at the enemy before he slammed into the ground,creating a tremor that knocked everything down,including Reina who quickly got up and took out a blaster that she had obtained from Red Fountain's armory and fired off lasers that went in zig-zag lines which confused the Rouge Dragons before they got hit by the blasts. "What did you do!" Zian was worried that the dragons that were hit were killed but Reina just responded in a quick manner, "Don't worry Zian,this is a stun-blaster." Zian snorted at his mistake as he bared his sharp teeth at the Rouge Dragons that were surrounding them and their numbers seemed endless,this discouraged Reina's earlier bravado.
"I see that you are nervous about our situation..." Reina huffed in anger,hiding the fear behind her anger but it faltered as more and more Rouge Dragons,all that were holding them back was the commands of the Dragonaut who was eying Reina in the same manner when a person is eying their food and Reina didn't like it one bit, "...climb onto my back now!" Reina hastily did so before Zian roared,making a few of the dragons step back before they were blasted by a bolt of concussive energy,knocking them out,clearing a path and the Specialist Captain coincidentally landed on Zian's back with a concussion rifle in his hands. "Miss Reina!You're alright ?" Reina pointed at the massive numbers of the enemy,closing up the 'path' but the Captain threw a stun-grenade that made sure their escape route was secure before Zian galloped off with his passengers to safety,soon pursued by the Rouge Dragons and Dragonaut roared at how his prey easily escaped him.

(Galactical Enterprise,Corporation President's Office)
Olsen Wittcomb was sitting in a comfy armchair inside a cosy room that didn't resemble any office that a president of a business would use,Fayt and Cliff were seated across him in similar armchairs while Albel was admiring the various collection of swords on the wall and Izak was no where in sight. "Well,as you can see. I'm very much alive as well as the rest of my crew along with a few other ships from the defense force that protected Moonbase four years ago." Fayt nodded in understanding while Cliff was curious to find out more as he asked a question, "How did you survive that blast from the Executioner(2) ?...and how come you're so young ?"
Olsen cleared his throat before answering the questions Cliff asked him, "Well,to do that we'll have to view a few scenes that we managed to capture from the Calnus shuttle and the Aquaelie's ." Olsen pressed a button on the desk panel and the room darkened before a huge screen was projected from the wall. The screen showed the battle between the Aquaelie between an Executioner...
The Aquaelie,an impressive vessel outfitted with a huge array of weaponry and it was facing a gigantic being that resembled a demon with a pair of torn up wings,barricading the way towards Styx,a barren world where it contains a passage towards 4-D Dimension and the Shuttle,Calnus was clearly seen escaping the battle and towards Styx while the Aquaelie kept the Executioner occupied. The Aquaelie made the first move by firing every single weapon that it had,including the Creation Cannon(3) that hit it's target dead on. As the firing stopped,the Executioner came out unscathed and it prepared a Symbology spell,the Aquaelie started it's engines as it charged at the demonic being with everything the vessel had as the again started firing but it was in vain as the spell struck first,enveloping the ship inside a 'cacoon' of Symbological energy before it winked out of existence. The video switched over to the internal cameras of the ship that 'disappeared' moments ago. The ship was still in good condition but it seemed to be traveling through a tunnel that seems similar to the ones seen during Gravitic warp.
When it exited,the Aquaelie ended up in a totally new dimension along with other cruisers that got hit with that screen turned off before the room lit up again.
"As you can see,my crew and I survived and the reason to that was unsound,that symbology spell was a displacement spell,created to well,move objects to different locations as well as rearrange our molecular structure,we found out about this from the help of the headmistress of Alfea,a school of magic." a child suddenly burst into the room,the child was quite young,a toddler to be precise, "Papa!" the boy leap into Olsen's arms,a woman entered the room carrying some toys,followed by a middle-aged woman dressed in an elegant manner. "I'm sorry dear,our little Jon-Jon,escaped his nanny to see you." the woman laughed good-naturedly, "..and for obvious reasons,you are quite the family man,turning the top floor of the company into his personal this rate,you'll spoil him beyond his teen-hood."
Olsen tickled his little 'Jon-Jon' but became serious again as he handed his son back to his wife, "As you can see,I'm married here,opposed to my bachelor days in the Federation. This is my wife Joanna.." Joanna smiled as she waved at them, "..and my son Johnathan." Jon-Jon peeked out behind his mother's legs before smiling and waving at Fayt but shied away from Albel as he was in Jon-Jon's term 'Scawy' which meant scary,Fayt saw this and whispered to the boy, "Don't worry,he's nothing but a grouchy man,give him a nap and he'll be fine." Jon-Jon pointed to Cliff and his bulky body,Fayt snickered and answered, "Him? He's nothing but an overgrown fuzz-bear." Jon-Jon laughed at Fayt's joke. 'Wonder what the kids that Maria and I will have be like ? Hopefully,they'll be just as adorable as this little guy'
Fayt turned towards the ex-Commodore and asked him, "By the way,Mr Wittcomb,where's Izak ?" "He's being repaired and upgraded with new systems as well as an advanced emotion chip the company developed,he'll be a totally new person when my robotics engineers are done." and it did as a cheerful looking Izak entered the room with his suitcase over his back. "Hello Fayt,pleased to see that you're healthy...why hello there little boy,what's your name ?" Jon-Jon saw the sincerity of Izak's voice and answered in a quiet voice, "It-it's Jon-Jon." Izak smiled as he removed the Laser Weapon from his pockets which made Fayt very uncomfortable but relaxed when Izak started taking it apart quickly before reassembling it into a small toy-robot, "Well Jon-Jon,meet your new friend,Mikey." the little robot lit up and waved at Jon-Jon who gigled as he took Mikey into his little hands. Izak smiled at this before he stood up again and talked to Olsen, "Mr Wittcomb,I believe that we have something to discuss with you,so if you please..." Olsen gestured for his family and nanny to leave the room,leaving the five alone to talk about a certain mission.

(Diplo II,Jake's Room)
Jacob Cain was busy reading the report of the battle earlier,he frowned at the number of casualties and also at the amount of damage inflicted on the surviving vessels and all of it caused by three small but powerful fighter-crafts. As he continued reading,Cecille stirred in her bed,mumbling words that he managed to gather, 'Kiss me,Jake.' Jake blushed before he smiled again and tucked the blankets further to ensure that she remains comfortable but in doing so,Cecille stretched out her arms and caught him in her arms,pulling him close like a teddy bear.
Fortunately,he managed to switch himself with a nearby pillow at the last minute before he was completely pressed against her chest at which he felt embarrassed at the close call of another slap to the face,the last one he got still stinged. 'I wonder how come I'm so open up to Cecille of all people ?' Jake knocked a book off one of his shelves,it fell open and it was his family album,he picked it up and flipped to the first page,it showed him as a baby,playing with his toys and being cuddled by his flipped to the next page,it was of him in his kindergarten days which contained various pictures,his first 'A' his first friend who was currently aboard the ship,and also...his first crush,which showed a little girl kissing him on his cheeks but he remembered how he reacted back then when he kissed her back on the cheek too as he was raised as a gentleman,and a young one at that which was quite odd as any other child would either scream or just stand there like a statue and under the picture,it described the situation, 'Jake Cain,age 6,being kissed on the cheek by Cecille Sanders,age 6. "Huh?" Jake blinked his eyes before rubbing it and reread the words and he quickly turned the pages to the next one, according to the words written down,she kissed him on the cheek again he was eight years old by then and he was blushing in the picture with the exact same pose in the kindergarten picture. The next photo was showing him a picture of himself before the day before the 'incident'.
He looked at Cecille mumbling more words of affection before turning over the next page which showed the funeral,he and several others were dressed in mourning clothes,his uncle Andrew was behind him watching as he cried on Cecille's shoulders who was comforting him but she was barely recognizable behind the veil. He kept turning the pages,observing the ones that Cecille were in but as he turned each page,Cecille was beginning to 'disappear' in a manner of speaking as the photos showed less and less of her until high school where her last appearance was in the background of the prom dance where Jake was annoyingly surrounded by the 'fiancées' that his uncle and aunt had set him with although most of them were fakes while the real ones were using their body to impress the handsome Jacob Cain who was by then sixteen before he joined the Federation.
Jake suddenly had a migraine as the book fell to the floor as forgotten memories were awakened in the deep recesses of his mind,most of which were sweet ones but the more recent ones were bittersweet and painful. He saw his hands glowing with the traits of a symbology user,he was an adept user of symbology. When the glowing stopped,he felt like a heavy burden was lifted off his shoulders but he hasn't felt like this since the day Cecille last kissed him. He touched his cheek as he reminisced his newly recovered memory.

(Wildlands,Dropship Interior)
The dropship that the Specialist squad used earlier was completely empty and quiet,save for the wildlife outside. A portal suddenly opened up on the ceiling and dumped out it's contents in order, Argus came first before Sera landed on him and jumped away before Rylon and Trevor both came down on Argus as he groaned in pain but he felt another 'call' for help from Reina,with an incredible burst of strength,he forced the two off his back before he grabbed a nearby Navigator(i.e:G.P.S) and rushed out of the exit of the ship before the others realized that he just took the only way of finding the Specialist team that accompanied Reina.
When they got out,they were shocked to see Argus basically tearing apart the trees well,his aura which resembled an armored knight did as it somehow became solid was ripping each tree it grabbed apart before throwing the remains away and the remains turned into flowers and small saplings,making up for the damage he's causing. "Amazing,even in this state,the Dragon Fire creates new life from destruction." Trevor took out a tranquilizer gun and squeezed out most of the contents,leaving the tranquilizer as a sedative before shooting it into the back of Argus' head,he calmed down as the aura disappeared. Sera walked carefully towards Argus with a tranquilizer dart in her hands in case she needs it. "I'm sorry about that but I keep hearing cries for help in my head from Reina,each time she calls out,it hurts..." he sighed as he stood up,calming his anger before he activated the Navigator,and read the coordinates. "Come on,it says that they're in a nearby cave." Argus ran off,followed shortly by the others.
"Help!" Argus saw three Specialists severely injured,slowly helping the middle one whose leg was bleeding heavily and contorted in a painful manner. Sera took out a medic pack from her pack and proceeded to heal them but Argus stopped her, "Don't waste it,I'll do it,the area here seems to have a weaker hold on magic so I'll do the healing..." Sera nodded and moved,allowing Argus to perform his healing powers. He spread his arms out so as to heal all three,his hands starts glowing before he sent three spheres of energy to the body of the injured Specialists,Argus clenched his teeth as he exchanged his health to heal the three.
"Rraghh!I can't hold it!" Argus stopped the spell before he killed himself,the three were still hurt but far better than before but the same couldn't be said for Argus as he was bleeding all over his body,he stood up shakily before falling down into a kneeling position,gasping for breath as Sera automatically started treating his wounds as best as she could,
"Where is she ?" Argus asked but all three of them were still dazed from the spell so they remained silent, "I said,WHERE IS SHE!!!" one of them pointed at the cave entrance and Argus grabbed a vial of healing potion from his pockets and ran off while his wounds healed but only to a minor extent. "Argus!Wait,damn his ,Slifer!You two take them to the ship for proper treatment and meet me inside." Rylon felt a hand grab his,it was one of the trio, "Here,it shows a shortcut to Miss Reina's location." He nodded before he also ran off to follow Argus.
Author's note:Sorry Anesha,you got the answer wrong but don't worry,you'll get another chance.
Ok then,here are the explanations:
1.)Battle-Dragon:A dragon equipped with light but strong armor that are installed with projectile weapons for aerial combat like laser-guided net-traps for capture missions or lasers that can be set from stun to kill a boasts a high regard to their Aerial Calvary Dragons as opposed to Eraklion's Iron Claw Griffins(4) and Spark's Sky Dragon Defenders(5)
2.)Executioner:A terrifying beast that Fayt and his comrades had faced in their previous adventure,these Executioners consisted of the angel-like Proclaimers that kill while, 'proclaiming' that your judgment day has come to the Enforcer series that varies from machines to more organic beasts and up to the ever powerful Convictor that has incredible capabilities but were fortunately wiped out when Fayt and his comrades accomplished their quest.
3.)Creation Cannon:A type of weapon that has enough power to destroy an entire planet if used unwisely as it power source comes directly from the ship's engine core,each blast will drain away about a quarter of the engine's power which means that one ship can fire it's cannon four times,before the core needs to regenerate more power but the sheer instability of the power is deadly so usage of this kind of power is limited for usage in space and must be only used in emergencies only.
4.)Iron Claw Griffins:The mainstay of Eraklion's sky cavalry unit,a griffin is equipped with extremely durable armor and each griffin is equipped with a pair of shoulder cannons as well as swords,allowing the rider to fight any boarders. It ranks third to the Alexandria's Aerial Calvary Dragons while the Sky Dragon Defenders of Sparks'
5.)Sky Dragon Defenders:The dominator of the skies,a sky dragon is a special breed of dragons created by Oritel and Miriam,father and mother of Bloom when they returned from their self-imposed exile,although these dragons aren't equipped with any special equipment save for the concussion cannon on it's underbelly that's controlled by the dragon's thoughts. The riders are given the most credit as they often jump off their saddles and glide off with a hang-glider that unfolds and folds up at the push of a button,they will glide about with various weapons at their disposal but the most commonly used is the Missile Lance that fires of a small missile before replaced by a laser blade.
The last two is just to save space in the next chapters. I have a question for my readers,
Do any of you remember the name of that pompous lord of Eraklions that hired those Power Ranger wannabes to kidnap Diaspro in season 2 ?(p.s:Also please include the names of the hero wannabes. thanx)
