The Warriors: The Legend of Dragoon

Chapter 48

The gang was a Volcano Villude looking for the firebird when felt something calling out to her

As they pass through a river of lava Shana kneels on the ground

Whoa. Shana said

Huh? Dart said

What...is this feeling? Shana said

What's wrong Shana? Dart said

I...I feel something. Shana said

Huh? Dart said

You...feel something? Punk said

Yes. Shana said

What do you feel? Batman said

Something calling. Shana said

Calling? Batman said

Yes. Shana said

What's calling Shana? Dart said

It's... Shana said

Yeah. Dart said

It's... Shana said

Yeah. Dart said

It's... Shana said

It's what? Lavitz said

Me? Shana said

Me what? Lavitz said

It's...calling me!? Shana said

What? Lavitz said

Calling you? Sophitia said

Shana runs off to find the thing calling her

What the hell? Punk said

Shana! Where are you going!? Dart said

What was that about? Punk said

I don't know. Dart said

Let's go after her. Batman said

Yeah. Dart said

The gang follows Shana to a room with a giant creepy-looking statue halfway submerged in the lava

I found it. Shana said

Found what Shana? Dart said

I found what was calling me. Shana said

What was it? Dart said

Look. Shana said

The gang looked up and saw the creepy-looking statue

A statue? Punk said

You were 'being called' by this? Dart said

Yes. Shana said

How? Dart said

I don't know. Shana said

You don't know? Dart said

No but when i came here, i didn't hear the voice anymore. Shana said

Is that alive? Dart said

I don't think it is. Punk said

Looks like a stone statue. Lavitz said

Of course it does. Punk said

Let me check it out. Lavitz said

Don't go near it! Shana said

Why? Lavitz said

I feel...something's wrong. Shana said

Really? Sophitia said

Yes. Shana said

No way. Punk said

Listen to Shana. This Virage is still alive. Rose said

Virage...? Dart said

What? Punk said

You don't know about it? Rose said

No. Dart said

Of course not. Punk said

Okay, I'll explain it to you. Rose said

Alright. Dart said

Cool. Punk said

You know about the Dragon Campaign, right? Rose said

Yes. the others said

The Winglies were outnumbered, so they used this creature called Virage as their trump card in the war. Rose said

Trump card? Lavitz said

Yes. And just as humans used Dragons, Winglies used Virage. Rose said

Whoa. Punk said

I thought the Dragon Campaign was over 11,000 years ago. Shana said

Yes. It was. Rose said

How can this still be alive? Shana said

I don't know. Rose said

Suddenly part of the statue's hand moved and Dart noticed it

(What the?) Dart said in his mind

You don't know? Shana said

No. Rose said

Are you sure? Shana said

Well... Rose said

What what? Shana said

I would say, it's due to the hatred of Humans, or a vendetta against us Dragoons. Rose said

Is that so? Shana said

Yes. Now we gotta settle this. Rose said

Or let's run! Dart said

Why? Punk said

The Virage is alive. Dart said

Alive? Punk said

Yeah. Dart said

No way. Punk said

Look. Dart said

The gang looked and saw the Virage come to life and was approaching them

Oh. Punk said

Let's go. Dart said

No. Lavitz said

No? Dart said

Yes. No. Lavitz said

Why? Dart said

Because we're gonna fight. Lavitz said

Seriously? Punk said

Yes. Lavitz said

Are you sure? Sophitia said

Yes. Lavitz said

Alright. Sophitia said

Perfect. Now let's do this. Lavitz said

Yeah. Dart said

Cool. Punk said

A few minutes later

The Virage takes the initiative so running is impossible but the gang defeats it anyhow and Dart pushes it into the lava to die Lavitz is near the edge and almost gets a faceful of the stuff

Whoa! It's dangerous here! Let's go back! Lavitz said

Come on! Shana. Dart said

Okay. Shana said

Are you alright!? Dart said

I'll be fine. Shana said

Really? Punk said

Yes. Shana said

Let's keep moving. Batman said

Yeah. Dart said

Rose was looking at the sinking Virage until Dart called out to her

Rose! Rose! Dart said

What is it? Rose said

Run! Dart said

I'm coming. Rose said

Rose walks away from the edge and joins the others as they continue to move on they hear a voice outside

Heeey! Is anybody there? a voice said

Did you hear something? Dart said

Yeah. Sure did. Punk said

Heeey! Heeelp! a voice said

Look, over there! Shana said

The gang looked and saw a man whose clothing was caught on a branch by the cliff

It's a man! Dart said

What the hell? Punk said

Help me! My foot slipped and i fell! the man said

We have to help him. Sophitia said

Yeah. Dart said

Obviously. Punk said

We got you! Dart said

Hang on. Punk said

Punk Dart and the others pull the man up from the branch of the cliff

Phew! Thanks! the man said

Of course. Dart said

No problem. Punk said

Really! I didn't think I would make it! the man said

It was really *huff huff* good. Shana said

Glad we could help. Sophitia said

Yeah, thanks! the man said

Don't mention it. Dart said

It was nothing. Punk said

I can't thank you enough, but please at least take this! the man said

The man shows the gang a Sapphire Pin and it was beautiful

What's that? Sophitia said

It's a Sapphire Pin. Take it. the man said

Alright. Punk said

Oh please don't! Shana said

What? the man said

We can't accept such an expensive item. Shana said

Yes, you have to! the man said

Why? Shana said

You folks saved my life! I'll feel bad if you folks don't take it! the man said

Take it. Dart said

What? Shana said

Once decided, it's hard to take it back. Dart said

Why? Sophitia said

It's a man thing. Dart said

There's no such thing as a man's thing. Batman said

But it's true. Dart said

No way. Punk said

I'm just saying. Dart said

Please take it. the man said

Well, thank you. Shana said

Thank you. the man said

He wasn't that funny. Punk said
