The Warriors: The Legend of Dragoon

Chapter 42

The gang was at a hotel in Hoax looking after Dart who just fainted last night when Sandora attacked the town

While Dart was semi-conscious he hears his comrades talking

What are you to Dart? What did you do to him? Rose said

I was only... Rose said

Cut it out! Both of you! Lavitz said

Lavitz's right. You need to stop. Batman said

Yeah seriously. What's wrong with you guys? Punk said

While the others were talking Dart woke up on a bed

I should be thanked, so why do i have to be yelled at? the woman said

Because you did something to him. Shana said

I didn't do anything. the woman said

Yes. You did. Shana said

No. I didn't. the woman said

Yes. You did. Shana said

No. I didn't. the woman said

Yes. You did. Shana said

No. I didn't. the woman said

Both of you. Stop it. Sophitia said

Ah... Lavitz said

What the hell? Punk said

Dart's awake. Batman said

He is? Sophitia said

Yes. Batman said

That's great. Sophitia said

Yeah. Let's check up on him. Lavitz said

The gang approaches Dart who had just woken up

Dart? Lavitz said

Hey guys. Dart said

Have you come to? Lavitz said

Blond-haired man okay? Hulk said

Okay? Dart said

Yeah. Are you okay? Punk said

I'm okay. It's just... Dart said

Just what? Punk said

I, I was... Dart said

I'm glad you woke up... Shana said

I'm glad as well. the woman said

You, you are... Dart said

Rose. Nice to see you again. the woman said

Yeah. Me too. Dart said

Who are they? Rose said

They're my friends. Dart said

Oh. Rose said

This is CM Punk. Dart said

Hey. Punk said

This is Batman. Dart said

Hello. Batman said

This is Sophitia. Dart said

Hi. Sophitia said

And this is Hulk. Dart said

Hulk. Hulk said

Nice to meet you all too. Rose said

What? Punk said

Do you know Dart? Shana said

I told you. I just saved his life. Rose said

Really? Shana said

Yes. Well...not only once. Rose said

I want to hear it from Dart's own mouth. Shana said

You don't believe me? Rose said

No. Shana said

I see. Rose said

Dart. Lavitz said

Yeah? Dart said

We need an explanation. Lavitz said

Yeah seriously. Can you explain what's going on? Punk said

Did Rose really save you? Sophitia said

Yes. Dart said

What? Shana said

It's true. She saved my life. Dart said

Seriously? Punk said

Yes. Dart said

Wow. Punk said

Then, the person who saved you from the Dragon was... Shana said

Yeah. It's her. Dart said

No way. Shana said

Seriously. Punk said

Talking about being saved, i didn't even thank you yet. Dart said

I don't need any thanks. I wanted to do it. Rose said

I see. But why are you here? It is too fishy to be a coincidence. Dart said

I followed you because i was fascinated by this artifact that you own. Rose said

Artifact? Dart said

Yes. Rose said

What artifact? Batman said

The Dragoon Spirit of the Red-Eye Dragon. Rose said

What? Punk said

This...This light is!? Dart said

You 'deserve' to rule Dragons. This light shows the true evidence. Rose said

Again. What? Punk said

Rule dragons? Dart said

Yes. Rose said

How? Dart said

From the time the Dragoon Spirit starts to shine. Rose said

Oh. Dart said

Yes and now you have to accept your fate as a Dragoon. Just like me. Rose said

Whoa. Punk said

Wow. Dart said

What is it? Rose said

I didn't know there was such power concealed in my father's memento. Dart said

Wait a minute. Shana said

What is it? Rose said

You saved him because you knew it from the beginning. Shana said

Knew it from the beginning? Rose said

Yes. Shana said

I didn't know it. Rose said

It was a test to see if he could be a Dragoon. Rose said

A dragoon? Dart said

That's right. Rose said

What if i didn't pass the test? Dart said

If you didn't, you would be dead now. Rose said

Oh. Dart said

How do you know all this? Batman said

Well... Rose said

I agree and why do you know about such things? Lavitz said

What? Rose said

I mean you know too much about things nobody could know. Lavitz said

It's better than ignorance, isn't it? Rose said

That's true, but yours is not mere knowledge. Lavitz said

Knowledge? Rose said

Yes. It's a story in a legend that has been lost. Lavitz said

Who told you that? Rose said

I heard about it from Minister Noish before. Lavitz said

Who? Rose said

A friend of mine. Lavitz said

Oh. Rose said

Anyway, the people who led Humans to victory in the Dragon Campaign, were the Dragoons. Lavitz said

Interesting. Rose said

But was that the only reason you protected me? Dart said

What? Rose said

Just because i have a dragoon spirit? Dart said

Honestly, i was surprised myself, but now i know why. Rose said

What's that? Punk said

You guys look like my dear old friends. Rose said

Your friends? Punk said

That's right. Rose said

How? Sophitia said

They lived in the middle of a turbulent generation, yet they were strong enough to grab their own fate. Rose said

Really? Punk said

Yes. Rose said

Oh. Punk said

They knew the way to go, the things to do, the enemy to defeat, and the people to protect. Rose said

So? Dart said

So i feel the same way about you guys, so, i couldn't help doing that. Rose said

Wow. That's just...wow. Dart said

I know. Rose said

Can i ask you one thing? Dart said

What is it? Rose said

What are they doing now? Dart said

Yes. Where are they? Sophitia said

Everybody's gone. It's all in the past. Rose said

Oh my. Sophitia said

Yes. Rose said

I am sorry. Shana said

What? Rose said

I think i was wrong about you, Rose. Shana said

It's okay. Rose said

Really? Punk said

Yes. I am used to being hated. Rose said

Oh. Punk said

While the gang was talking someone was yelling outside

Is the head of the Knighthood, Sir Kaiser, in here!? a voice said

What!? Lavitz said

The, The Seventh Fort is under strong attack by Sandoras! a voice said

What!? Lavitz said

What was that? Punk said

I don't know. Dart said

Let's go check. Batman said

Yeah. Dart said

The gang went outside and found a soldier who was looking at a dead soldier on the floor

Who are you? the Knight of Basil said

I'm Sir Lavitz. Lavitz said

Sir Lavitz? the Knight of Basil said

Yeah. Lavitz said

Nice to meet you. the Knight of Basil said

What happened? Lavitz said

The Seventh Fort in the Marshland is under the fierce attack of the Dragon! the Knight of Basil said

What? Lavitz said

Due to that, the Tenth and Thirteenth Knighthoods are almost overwhelmed! the Knight of Basil said

What about the survivors? Lavitz said

Survivors are still responding! the Knight of Basil said

Good. Now where did the dragon come from? Lavitz said

From the forest over the Volcano Villude! the Knight of Basil said

Volcano Villude? Lavitz said

Yes, and it seems there is a nest there for the Dragon! the Knight of Basil said

I see. Lavitz said

Suddenly Kaiser appears and the gang approaches him

Kaiser! Lavitz said

I heard. Kaiser said

What's going on? Lavitz said

Gigantos and Dragons. It's not a fight between Humans. Kaiser said

What does that mean? Lavitz said

It means if we don't defeat the Dragon, we don't have a future! Kaiser said

Summon the rest of the knights! We will assault the Dragon's Nest! Lavitz said

I don't know if we can do that. Kaiser said

What? Lavitz said

It appears that Kaiser might have some doubts or is it something else very entirely stay tuned
