-TyRexons dream-
Rex found himself in the dead of night, clear sky and a full white moon. It looked like he was next to a lake on a meadow. The lake was soo clear and clean that you could see the bottom and the bright moon reflected off its surface. This place seemed to put him at ease as he felt the night breeze, suddenly he heard something that sounded like...singing, and a piano.
"I'm so tired of being here. Suppressed by all my childish fears. And if you have to leave. I wish that you would just leave."
He then looked towards the edge of the lake towards his left and caught sight of what appeared to be the source of the voice. It appeared to be a young women but he was too far away to actually tell.
"Cause your presence still lingers here. And it won't leave me alone."
Rex approached the woman but made sure not to make any noise to draw her attention.
"These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase."
Rex stopped once he was able to make her out somewhat and continued listening to her sing.
"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears. And I held your hand through all of these years. But you still have all of me."
As she finished, Rex found himself shedding some tears.
-End of dream-
Rex woke up with tear stains on his cheeks which he wiped away. He then took time to examine where he was, it certainly wasn't his cave. Everything here looked fit for a pretty successful family. He then noticed that he was in what looked like a fancy dog bed. He took to the air slightly and flew to the large glass window to see that h was in a towering building somewhere in Planeptunes main city. If he had to take a guess he would say he was in between the tenth and fifteenth floor.
"How did I get in Planeptune?" he asked himself.
"I brought you here. This is my home." said a female voice.
He turned around to see the same women he saw before he passed out.
"You...understand me?" he asked
"Yes, you are actually speaking normal English right now." she replied as she walked towards him.
"That's funny. I thought it would be a roar to people." he replied
"I am an exception. I have an power that allows me to see the hearts of others. I also put a communication device on you while you were sleep so others can understand you as well." she said
"Your name is Seras Hikari...right?" he asked as he felt the device on his neck.
"That's right but please just call me Sera for short, and what my your name be?" asked Sera.
"I am known now as TyRexon...but you can call me just Rex." he said.
Sera nodded before placing a plate of what appeared to be a steak and broccoli in front of him.
"You must be hungry." she said with a small smile.
"Arigato, Itadakimas." before beginning to eat although he noticed Sera's confused look and explained to her.
"Those are other languages I learned. Arigato means thank you and Itadakimas means thank you for the food." he explained before proceeding to eat.
"Oh!" she replied as she watched him eat his meal.
"Listen, there is something you need to know Rex." she said in a serious tone causing the young dragon to give her his full attention.
"It seems that the CPU, her sister and friends are after you." she said causing Rex's eyes to widen.
"What! why are they after me?" he asked
"It seems they consider you a threat after the incident this morning. They will most likely post a guild quest specifically for you to be killed." she answered.
Rex sunk to floor upon hearing that. In his current form, he would be killed off by a decent traveler or a maker like IF or even MAGES..
"Don't worry, you are safe with me." Sera said as she rubbed his cheek.
"I can tell you have a pure heart and don't wish for the destruction of this world. As long as you stay true to yourself, I will be right by your side." she said.
Rex Smiled at her. She really is like a guardian angel. Sera went to go shower as Rex explored the room. It was quite big and had a fantastic view of the city. Seeing not much to do at the moment he decided to watch TV. It seems his little power show that morning had made the news but they were still saying the cause is unknown as they are investigating it now. Suddenly he heard a door close. He looked up and felt his whole body heat up as he saw Sera with only a towel on, some water still dripping from her hair.
"Forgot my blow dryer." she said as she went to what appeared to be her room.
Rex fell onto the couch with a bright blush on his face.
"Oh...wow." he said as he regained his composure.
-Forest-
"Iffy, how much lonnnngggeeeerrrr?" cried a bored Neptune as her arms hung limply.
They had been searching the forest for three straight hours after bumping into Sera's. They had yet to find any clues as to where TyRexon was aside from the scorched land. Compa and Neptune appeared to be getting tired of going around in what seemed to be an endless circle. Nepgear seemed to be not too far off from Compa and her sister but not as bad. IF appeared to be getting slightly annoyed.
"We have to keep going until we at least find some clue as to where this thing has set up its home. can't be too far from here." replied IF.
"Geez." said Neptune.
The group continued walking and all was quiet aside from the occasionally dogoo encounter and one nasty fenrir.
"Okay that's it. I'm taking a break." Neptune said
She then sat down on a nearby log only to hear a faint snap like a wire breaking.
"Huh?...NEEEPPPPPPUUUUU" she screamed as she suddenly found herself hanging upside down.
"Sis, what happened?" asked Nepgear upon seeing her sister hanging about.
"Someone set a trap and I got caught in it. Who set this cliché type of trap anyway?" questioned the CPU.
"Well it must still work since you got caught in it." said IF with a smirk until she caught the smell of something good cooking.
"Anyone else smell that?" she asked
The group began sniffing and caught what they believed was what she was smelling.
"It smells like...some kind of stew, and really good too." said Nepgear.
"I say we go see what it is, we might be able to get some." said Compa.
"Compa, we're looking for a dragon not food." said IF
"Well I don't think there's any harm in checking it out. Who knows, the dragon might be close to it." replied Nepgear.
With a sigh of defeat, IF let it go a they followed the smell.
"HEYYYYYY, YOU GUYS FORGOT MEEEEEE. DONT DO THIS TO THE MAIN CHARACTEEEEERRR." shouted Neptune.
"Hey author, can you get me down from here please?" she asked
"Nope, and stop messing with the fourth wall."
"Meanie."
-Planeptune city-
"Oh crap, I left the traps set up back at the cave." said Rex as his head snapped up from the couch beside Sera.
"Traps...you set traps up?" she asked.
"Yea, there's a snare trap and a pitfall trap that's right in front of the entrance." he replied.
Sera gulped just slightly.
'He is just full of surprises' she thought as she rubbed his head.
-Forest-
"DAAAAMMMITT, WHERE DID THIS PIT COME FROM?" screamed IF.
The unfortunate victim of Rex's pitfall trap was the brunette. She had saw the cave but the moment she tried to enter the ground at the entrance gave way and she fell straight down about ten feet much to the chagrin of Neptune.
"HAHAHAHAHA, that's what you get for trying to leave me behind." laughed said CPU.
"Someone really doesn't want us here." said Nepgear with a sweat drop.
Compa had already made her way into the cave. She was quite surprised at the inside of it. She found a bed made out of leafs and what looked like cotton. There was a pot made out of what appeared to be clay with food cooking at a low temperature so it wouldn't burn. Compa felt a strange source of heat from the cave and went further in to find...a hot spring. This really caught her off guard. She made he way back to the front to see IF with three books in her hands.
"Iffy, where did you get those?" she asked her friend.
"I found them in the corner over there." she pointed at a makeshift bookshelf.
"So someone has been living out here?" questioned Nepgear.
"Oh, maybe our little dragon has taught himself to survive without eating people." said Neptune trying to be serious.
"Ooooh sure, and maybe he taught himself to read and speak human as well." IF replied sarcastically.
"...I'm actually beginning to think its possible." Nepgear said as she looked at what seemed to be a journal.
"Gear, what's got you so freaked out?" asked IF.
Nepgear, with wide eyes passed IF the journal she was reading. As she read it her eyes grew wider and wider. Even though it had only entry she saw who had wrote it.
"This is...this can't be real." she said with wide eyes as she closed the book, grabbed Compa and ran towards the caves entrance.
"Iffy, what's the hurry?" asked Neptune.
"We gotta go take this to Histoire, now." she replied as she ran out the cave.
'This is serious. If it can learn how to read and write, we maybe in serious trouble. Now that I think about it, it is possible that dragon may have been the one to set those traps.' IF thought.
-Planeptune-
The citizens of Planeptune had seen a lot of strange things since the deity of sin and the goddesses peace treaty, but never in their daily lives would they think to see a beautiful women strolling casually down the streets with a small dragon flying by her side. Most of the attention was curiosity while some people were actually afraid of what they were seeing in their city.
"Wow this is ...awkward to say the least." said Rex as he noticed the looks on the citizens faces.
"You wanted to come with me on this quest even though I said it wasn't a good idea." she stated.
"Sorry, I just can't sit all day in that building." he replied scratching his head. "Besides, there are some things I need to grab from my cave anyway."
As they approached the gondola, Sera stopped and suddenly pulled Rex behind a building. She peeked out and saw IF and company coming off the gondola. Rex caught a glimpse of his journal in IF's hand and gasped slightly. As the group passed the two, Sera came out, holding Rex in front of her and quickly got onto the gondola.
"That was a little bit too close." she said as she sat down still holding Rex thus sitting him on her lap.
Rex was blushing savagely. He was being held soo close to her that he felt her warmth and caught her sweet scent. It was enough to put him in a dreamlike bliss. Rex let out a happy sigh as he sunk into her hold, catching the attention of the snow white haired women.
"Comfy?" she asked
"Wha...ummmm...yes." he said earning a smile from Sera.
-virtua forest depths-
The enemies here were a little bit stronger then the ones that were in the grasslands where Sera and Rex first met. Rex used this to his advantage to fight off some stronger foes with Sera's help. Sera was extremely powerful, so powerful that she was wiping out most of the enemies with either one or two hits. Rex was holding his own fairly well and seemed to be getting stronger as they fought deeper into the forest.
"Sera I meant to ask this earlier but is it possible that someone could report me to the goddesses or their friends?" he asked
"Lady Purple Heart I'm not so sure of. She rarely comes out for something like monster questing. As for the other CPU's I wouldn't worry about them too much unless we visit their lands." she said.
"So right now I am pretty much on the border of safe and not safe." Rex stated earning a nod from Sera.
After a little bit more walking, Rex began to recognize this part of the forest as his cave was near here.
"Sera, my cave is around here. Can you go on ahead and I'll catch up?" he asked.
"Yes, just be careful. A lot of strong monsters have shown up here recently. They must be gathering near where you released all that power." she answered.
"Don't worry, I think I'll be fine." he said as he flew off.
"The fact that he 'thinks' he'll be fine is what worries me the most." she said as she walked forward.
Rex made his way through the forest and occasionally had to hide himself from Dragona's and fenrirs. He wondered if his power had attracted these things. As he thought about that he heard what sounded like swords crashing. He followed the noise and saw what looked like Falcom and MarvelousAQL fighting off some two Fenrirs and a Dragona.
"This is too much." shouted the red haired swordswoman as she dodged a fenrir's claw.
"I know, get back fire breathe." shouted Marvelous as she kicked the Dragona in the mouth.
Rex watched with worry as he saw Marvelous get knocked on her butt. Falcom cut the blue fenrir across the face but the other one rammed her and hit her with its paw right across her upper torso sending her to the ground in a heap. Rex had to think of someway to help them but how. Just then he remembered there was an ancient trap here that he almost got caught in the first time he came through here and fortunately the Dragona was standing right over it. Seeing his chance Rex fired a fairly large fireball slightly pass the Dragona and hit what looked like a stone. After a couple of seconds there was a click and the floor below the Dragona opened up and it fell into it. At the bottom was something similar to liquid nitrogen and once it hit the liquid it froze on contact. Just as Rex was about to celebrate, he saw that Falcom was looking right at him. Rex noticed that a fenrir was coming straight at her and thus, doing one of the most reckless things in his life, he threw himself on the beast face. The monster tried to knock him away but Rex held on all the while, charging an attack. Once he was ready, he released black flames right into the fenrir's eyes.
"GWAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." the now blinded beast howled in pain.
Falcom ad the now recovered MarvelousAQL we shocked at what they had just seen. A baby dragon just risked its life to help Falcom. After getting away from the first fenrir the other tried to attack Rex but he flew backwards and launched a thick black ball at its face which erupted into a black smokescreen, temporary blinding the last foe. Seeing how his attacks wouldn't do much to his two opponents and the fact that Marvy and Falcom were still there, he decided it was time to use the smokescreen he had just created to make his escape.
"'Phew' that was close. I hope those two will be okay." he said as he looked back towards Falcom and Marvy's direction.
As I approached the cave I noticed that not only were the traps set off but the makeshift barrier was moved as well. Rex made his way inside and saw the food was still cooking so he turned put out the fire and decided to eat some. He noticed his books and his journal, the main thing he came to get was gone.
"ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
Rex's head snapped up upon hearing the roar and realized that it sounded very close to the area where Sera was.
"Sera...That sounded like a dragon." Rex said as he flew out the cave.
Flying faster then he ever did, Rex worked his way through the forest until he came to a large clearing where a clear lake sat. For some reason Rex got a sense of Deja vu from being here. Seconds later he heard the roar again only very, very close. He looked to his right and saw Sera fighting a Quetzquatel like dragon.
"What the...I've never seen a dragon like that in the game before." said Rex.
Rex quickly made his way towards the fight. The dragon seemed to have some scars and scrapes, no doubt caused by Sera, who didn't look too bad, just a little dirty from what Rex assumed was being thrown somewhere. The dragon tried to attack Sera again but Rex intervened with a stream of black fire right at the beast face.
"Thank you for that." Sera sad as she readied herself again.
"My pleasure. Can you tell me what this thing is? I've never seen a dragon like this before." stated Rex.
"I am no sure myself. This is my first time seeing it." she replied.
"Well whatever it is, it needs to go." said Rex.
"Agreed." Sera replied.
Sera dashed at the dragon and delivered two quick blows to its abdomen. The dragon didn't like that very much and created a whirlwind and sent her away from it. Rex then charged up multiple energy balls and shot them at the monster. Upon impact the orbs exploded but didn't really do a lot of damage.
"Darn it, my attacks aren't doing a lot on this thing." Rex said in frustration.
"Sword of Ingnis!" shouted Sera.
Suddenly her sword was cloaked in an intense golden flame. Sera prepared to attack but the beast saw her as a threat there and charged at her however, Rex would have none of that. he quickly jumped in front of her and set off a thick black smoke screen. The winged serpent like dragon quickly backed away but was met by Sera's flaming sword right in the abdomen again. The beast roared in pain before using its tail to smack Sera away. It the tried to eat her only to catch a black exploding orb in the mouth, forcing it back. The beast looked back at Rex only to get a stream of yellow flames to the face as a reward. The beast moved out the stream and bashed Rex with its tail, sending him flying until Sera caught him.
"Are you okay?" asked a concerned Sera.
"Ugh...LOOK OUT!"
Rex used all his might and shoved Sera away from what seemed to be some kind of laser. the attack hit Rex causing him to scream in intense pain. The attack then imploded and sent Rex crashing in a heap to the ground. Sera quickly ran over to the small dragon and cradled him in her arms.
"Sorry...I need...to rest." Rex said before passing out.
Sera placed him down gently and turned back towards the serpentine dragon with a piercing glare. She held her sword up and it began to enshroud itself in a black and red coat of energy.
"I summon forth the power of eternal darkness." she said.
A shockwave was sent through the area as she charged her power. The dragon tried to lung at her but she stepped to the side causing it to go pass her.
"There!" she shouted
Sera swung her sword in a horizontal motion leaving a black and red streak as she cut the dragons wings off as if they were paper. The beast howled in pain before turning to face Sera who had zipped right in front of it and began hacking at the beast causing it to roar in pain with each slash. Sera then leaped backwards and charged up an attack. The serpent shook off the pain and lunged at Sera.
"Brandish..." Sera said as she jumped forward. "BREAKER."
Sera swung her sword and countless red and black slash like streaks began hitting the dragon causing it to let off a deafening screech as it screamed in intense pain. Sera ended her attack and fell to a knee, the ominous aura vanishing from her body as the dragon fell to the ground. Sera, gasping for breathe turned to see Rex beginning to stir and as she tried to get back up she heard a lite growl. She turned her head to see the serpent dragon shoot back up but struggled to maintain itself.
"No way!" Sera said in shock as the beast lunged at her, mouth open.
'I can't move.' she thought as she closed her eyes and waited for the end.
"TYRANT'S BLAST."
Sera heard Rex's voice and opened her eyes just in time to see a pitch black laser shoot its way into the serpent dragons mouth and come right out the back of its head. The dragon let off a horrific death screech as it thrashed about. Sera watched as the beast looked straight up and fell on the back of its head and disappeared into particles. Sera looked at Rex who fell on his back in surprise. She stood up and made her way over to the exhausted little dragon.
"Thank you. You saved my life." she said as she bent down next to him.
"I would...never let anything happen...to the person that...means the world to me." he stated tiredly
Sera's eyes widened at the comment that came from him.
"I...mean that much to you?" she asked
"You saved me, you helped me and you are the first and right now...only person to understand me since I came to be...so of course..." he replied
Sera had tears forming in her eyes as she picked up the dragon and gently hugged him. Rex did his best to return it. She slightly pulled away from him and then did something Rex never saw coming. She kissed him on the forehead. Rex looked at her with a bright blush as she held him close.
"They say that a kiss on the head is a pact to form a strong bond." Sera said with a smile and a blush.
Rex looked at her wide eyed and smiled as he reached up and kissed her head, causing her to blush.
"I guess the bond is complete now." he said earning a smile and a nod from Sera.
"It's getting late and the quest is finished. We should head back." she said
"Yea, although I don't think I can fly for awhile." Rex said still exhausted.
"That's okay, I don't mind carrying you." she said as she held Rex to her chest and proceeded to the gondola station.
-Planeptune Basilicom-
"That's basically all we know." said IF
Histoire listened to the groups story of what they had found. Too say she looked slightly nervous would be an understatement. She didn't actually believe there would be a monster that was capable of learning from books and other sources until she read what IF had brought her.
"This is serous. If the TyRexon is capable of learning through material items then it could possibly accelerate its growth." she replied.
"So basically, it could become stronger and bigger faster then you planned Histy?" asked Neptune.
"Yes and I shudder to think of what could happen if that is the case." she replied
"Well we know where its home is. Why don't we set a trap for it?" asked IF
"Iffy, what if the little dragon already went back and noticed we had been there." asked Compa
"How would it know that...oh" IF questioned before realizing she had not only taken the journal but the books as well.
"It is highly likely that he will either find another place to hide away from the city or move to another landmass." said Histoire.
"Hold on Histy, what if he decides to go right under our noses and into the city somewhere? that would be the last place we'd think to look."
Everyone else just stared at Neptune with slight shock.
"'Hmph' I guess even Neptune can have a good idea every now and then." said a new voice
The group turned towards the entrance and saw the CPU of Lastation and her sister.
"Noire, Uni!" said Nepgear in surprise.
"Were here to help, not that we care what happens to Planeptune but if this thing really is as dangerous as Histoire makes it out to be then we need to ensure that it is dealt with." said Noire.
Chapter 3 set, done. Looks like TyRexon and Seras have developed a bond together. I myself am wondering what to do when Rex goes through his first evolution (which isn't too far off now folks.). It seems that Noire now see's TyRexon as a threat. What's gonna happen now? can TyRexon survive in this world with Sera's help? or will he meet his end at the hands of the 'protectors of Gamindustri'?' Until next time, Daymond Sanctum, OverSeer of the Platinum Sanctum...
"...and Detorey-TyRexon-Walton, Celestial dragon that rules the principles of Domination, judgment and supremacy."
"...WDF, how did you get here?"
"A writers convince. Signing out till next time folks."
"Hey you can't say my en..." chapter ends
