The Warriors: The Legend of Dragoon

Chapter 23

After escaping Hellena Prison the gang except Hulk ran back to the forest while also avoiding the soldiers but they were still coming after them until Dart saw a large tree and had an idea

The gang was still running trying to get away until Dart saw a large tree

Guys. Dart said

What? the others said

Let's hide in the tree. Dart said

The tree? Punk said

Yeah. Dart said

Why? Punk said

So we can hide. Dart said

Are you sure? Sophitia said

Yeah. Dart said

Do we have to? Punk said

Yeah. Dart said

Why? Punk said

We have to try. Dart said

Alright. Punk said

The gang then hides behind a large tree from the soldiers who just came in

Where did they go? Hellena Warden A said

I don't know. Hellena Warden B said

The gang all hide behind the tree as the wardens come but a noise catches their attention

There they are! Hellena Warden A said

Perfect! Hellena Warden B said

Come out of there. Hellena Warden A said

Women first! Then we might spare those people in Basil! Hellena Warden B said

The Hellena wardens preparing to capture the gang but a little mouse runs out onto the path

What the? Hellena Warden A said

Is this the fugitive? Hellena Warden B said

Don't be silly! Go look over there! Hellena Warden A said

Okay. Hellena Warden B said

The two wardens then left while the gang came out of hiding from the large tree

That was close. Dart said

Definitely. Punk said

There could be more coming. Dart said

Totally. Punk said

Let's keep going. Batman said

Yeah. Dart said

A few minutes later

The gang continued to walk until they saw a shack and were about to go inside but Lavitz still had the wound he suffered earlier on his leg

Agh! Lavitz said

Lavitz. Sophitia said

What the? Dart said

Are you okay? Punk said

I'm fine. Lavitz said

Really? Punk said

Like i said. It's just a scratch. Lavitz said

Wow. Punk said

Yes. Such a trifle wound. Lavitz said

Does it still hurt? Shana said

A little bit. Lavitz said

It needs to be treated. Batman said

I said i'm fine. Lavitz said

But it would get worse if it's not treated. Sophitia said

Sophitia's right Lavitz. We can't continue until your leg's better. Dart said

You're right. Sorry. Lavitz said

It's okay. Dart said

So what do we do? Punk said

I don't know. Dart said

I have an idea. Shana said

What is it? Punk said

I can use first aid. Shana said

What? Dart said

What? Punk said

Yeah. Shana said

You can do first aid? Sophitia said

That's right. Shana said

Wow. Sophitia said

You know first aid? Punk said

Yes. I learned first aid and i thought it would be useful. Shana said

Really? Punk said

Yes. Particularly in times like these. Shana said

Shana? Learning? That's something new! Dart said

I know right? Punk said

Mr. So-and-so might come back injured at any moment. Shana said

Let's use the shack over there. Dart said

All right. Lavitz said

A few more minutes later

The gang was outside on the lookout seeing if there were more soldiers while Shana was treating Lavitz's wound

Here you go. Shana said

Thanks. It's much better now. Lavitz said

Is it? Shana said

Yes. Lavitz said

Good. Shana said

The others came back into the shack after looking outside

Well? Lavitz said

All clear. Punk said

Really? Lavitz said

Yeah. It seems we completely lost those guys from Hellena. Dart said

Good. Lavitz said

Dart? Shana said

What is it, Shana? Dart said

Tell me, about these last five years. Shana said

Huh? Dart said

It's okay, nevermind! We don't have time for this now. Shana said

It was a journey for revenge. Dart said

What? Shana said

A journey for revenge? Punk said

Yes. Dart said

What do you mean by a journey for revenge? Batman said

It was a journey to find the guy who deprived me of something precious and kill him. Dart said

Really? Punk said

Yes. Dart said

Wow. Punk said

Revenge won't do anything for you. Batman said

I know but...i have to try. Dart said

Dart... Shana said

I couldn't tell you, Shana. That's why I left by myself. Dart said

I know Dart. I know. Shana said

So who's this guy you're after? Punk said

Well, it's not a guy. Dart said

What? Punk said

So what is it then? Sophitia said

It's a... Dart said

The black monster? Shana said

Yeah. Dart said

The black monster? Sophitia said

You're chasing after a black monster? Punk said

That's right. Dart said

Okay? Punk said

You're still trying to find it aren't you Dart? Shana said

I am but how did you know Shana? Dart said

I only know the name. Shana said

The name? Dart said

Yes. Nobody would tell me more about it because they said i was still too young. Shana said

Oh. Dart said

What is the Black Monster? What are you talking about? Lavitz said

Yeah, what's going on dude? Punk said

I have two homes. Dart said

Two? Batman said

Yes. Dart said

What are they? Sophitia said

One is Seles, where we were and where i spent time with Shana. Dart said

What about the other? Batman said

The other is where i spent time with my parents. Dart said

Was it also your home? Sophitia said

Yes. my first home, which was taken from me by the monster eighteen years ago. Neet. Dart said

(Flashback)

(Dart's hometown - 18 years ago)

The scene takes place in the forest with a nearby village called Neet which was being burned to the ground

It was when i was five years old. Neet was assaulted by the Black Monster. Dart said

The black monster was holding a knight and burned him to a crisp

Wow. Punk said

I know. Dart said

A family was coming out of the burned village it was a young Dart and his parents

We were lucky. Dart said

Why? Sophitia said

Dart's father looked at the log cave that was there and told his family to hide in it which they did

Only three of us had gotten out of the village. Dart said

Dart's mother approached his father and he hugged her and she hugged him as well

But my father returned to the village. Dart said

To fight the black monster? Batman said

Yes. But... Dart said

But what? Sophitia said

Young Dart approached his mother who rubbed his head a bit hugged him and went to the village as well

My mother followed my father to the village to help everybody, but that's where the Black Monster was waiting. Dart said

Did it kill them? Punk said

Yes. It did. Dart said

Wow. Punk said

I was left alone, shivering, and waited for dawn. Dart said

How awful. Sophitia said

What happened next? Batman said

Well... Dart said

The young Dart returned to the village which was destroyed it was burned to the ground

The sun revealed a foreign landscape. Dart said

Foreign landscape? Punk said

Yeah. Dart said

What do you mean? Sophitia said

It was a completely transformed Neet. Dart said

Oh. Sophitia said

The young Dart looked at the village destroyed before looking down and cried for a bit before he found something glowing

While i was crying i found something on the ground next to me. Dart said

What was it? Punk said

It was... Dart said

It appears Dart found something when he was young in the burned Neet village what was it stay tuned
