Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.
Alberius: Look over here Midgardsormr. That is the great strand of mountains that divide the North and South Grastaeal. Truly it is a sight worth of our long journey.
Midgardsormr turns to human form
Midgardsormr: Is it now? There are countless peaks of considerably greater height all across the world. So why do marvel at these whelps?
Alberius: Are there now? Well then, I think this calls for a new adventure to see them all.
Midgardsormr: You are more than free to do so alone. I have no intention following of you to ends of the earth in this body. Even colliding forth in storms is a struggle as I am now.
Alberius: You can still call storms even in this form, eh? Well you probably shouldn't do that while we're in any towns.
Midgardsormr: I make no promise to that end. Dragons do not interfere with people and I cause storms to neither help or hinder. I simply act when the voices of nature dictates such to be necessary.
Alberius: Which means all the people trying to pray storms away are simply wasting their time fretting over your capriciousness.
Midgardsormr: I am merely respecting our boundaries. People and dragons ought not to interfere overmuch in one another's affairs.
Alberius: So you always say. Yet I think the world would be a much wider place if people and dragons worked together.
Midgardsormr: Then what do you propose? Shall I make the wind sing on your people's command and bring the rains at their beck and call? Such actions cold easily bread disorder. We dragons act on nature's behalf so we might safeguard the other of the world. Getting too close to people would only engender needless conflict.
Alberius: Then the world will never change. For while we have calm, we cannot have progress...
They hear screaming.
Alberius: ...Hmm? There's some ruckus about town.
A girl bumps to Alberius.
Random girl: I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush...
???: There she is! Over there?
The girl hides behind Alberius
???: We have you, girl! Now be smart and hand over the sword, and we might see fit to spare your miserable life.
Random girl: I will never permit the Dynrenell Empire to lay hands on this.
Imperial commander: Then we will have it by force.
The imperial commander attacks the girl but Alberius saves her.
Alberius: I don't know what's going on her, but don't you think you're being a tad rough? I can't stand by and let you take what is not yours.
Imperial commander: You'll regret sticking your nose in this, whoever you are. ...Men! Seize this do-folder and put in him the ground.
Imperial soldiers: Yes sir!!!
The imperial soldiers attacked Alberius but Alberius dodges then all.
Alberius: I thought we'd spend more time in the diplomacy phase of this, but so be it. If it's a fight you want, you shall have it
Alberius defeats the soldiers with his sword.
Imperial Commander: What the...?!
Alberius: You lot clearly have no chance against me. Best to stink away while you still can.
Imperial Commander: You're getting awfully soused at the sound of your own voice, dog--but we'll teach you to respect the power of Dyrenell yet! ... O great king, grant me your might.
Fiends started spawning.
Alberius: What the blazes? They summoned a fiend!
Imperial Commander: Please, save your applause for the encore. For even if my body may change, I will not fail to fulfill the charge given me by His Grace the Emperor.
A dark aura started glowing on the imperial commander and transformed into a fiend.
Midgardsormr: Now he has transformed INTO a fiend! Could the be the power of...?
Alberius: Can I leave the minions to you?
Midgardsormr: I suppose we must. These miscreants seems poised to upset the balance of the world, and I am unable to let that be.
Alberius: Then I leave the rest in your hands while I deal with this one!
Imperial Commander: My life... for Dyrenell!!
The imperial commander attacks Alberius but this time it hurts Alberius.
Alberius: Such power! I won't be able to withstand much of that.
The imperial commander breaks Alberius's sword.
Alberius: Damn! My sword broke!
Imperial commander defeats Alberius
Imperial commander: My duty is to removed anything that would interfere with our master's resurrection!
Imperial commander starts attacking the girl
Alberius: He's attacking that woman!
Imperial commander hits her
Alberius: Are you alright
Random girl: Ye... yeah
The girls falls down
Alberius: You took quite a blow from that beast. Best not to move for a while.
Girl: But...
Alberius: Easy now. I'm not the sort to turn tail and leave you to fend for yourself.
Girl: No. You have to run.
Alberius: But why?
Girl: I have just thing to ask of you... This is the sacred blade Dragalia. Would you please see it safely to the nearby cathedral of the Ilian Church? The date of this universe may well hinge upon this blade!
Alberius: You would entrust something so vital to a stranger?
Girl: It cannot be allowed to fall into enemy hands and though I sound like a naive babe to say it, you seem a trustworthy sort. Please, I beg of you! Save Dragalia!
Alberius: I see. Still, if you trust me so, there is yet one further option available to us.
Girl: Which is?
Alberius: I take your sword and use it to dispatch that fiend.
Girl: No, you mustn't. That sword is.
Imperial Commander: My duty.. MY DUTY... MYYYY DUUUUTY!!!!!!
Alberius: I fear the time for reasoned discussion is past. Serve me well, Dragalia!!!
Girl: No, you misunderstand! That sword can't be drawn from it's scabbard.
Alberius uses the sword and defeat the commander.
Alberius: My word... This sword didn't just dispatch the beast-- it annihilated it utterly. No sooner had I removed the blade from it's sheath than it began to glow and struck down the fiend as if of its own will.
Girl: I never thought to meet you in such a place, and yet there can be no doubt. You're a descendant of the dragon bloodline!
[Meanwhile with Lora and Jin]
Lora and Jin are being pursued by a group of Volff, Feris, and Buloofo due to the smell of blood. As they we fighting they get cornered.
Jin: Lora do you smell it?
Lora: Ugh. It stinks like.
A big Buloofo shows up in front of Jin and Lora along with other beasts.
Jin: Yeah no doubt about it. Blood. It's driving me crazy.
As they were fighting the beasts Lora passed the sword to Jin but was about to get eaten by a volff. Jin then used his ice powers to kill the beasts. Jin then helps her up
Lora: Thank you Jin.
Jin: Well, we've got room for improvement.
Lora: Of what?
Jin: This fighting style. It magnifies our strength sure but it leaves us wide open. When the sword is in my hand, you're left defenseless.
Jin then puts his sword away and turns around
Lora: What you won't keep me safe?
Jin: Huh
Lora walks up to Jin and puts her hand on Jim's face
Lora: I'll keep you safe always.
[A flashback of Jin tells Lora aged 10 that he will keep her safe always] [Flashback ends]
Jin then puts his hand to take Lora's hand off him
Jin: You still remember that?
Lora: I thought about it. Everyday for these 17 years. I'll never forget about it. The day you set me free from a life of misery.
Jin: I see.
Lora and Jin then continued their adventure.
[Meanwhile with Leon]
Leon Belmont starts walking
Leon: I don't see any signs of Dracula anywhere but yet I see a lot of dead people.
Leon then looks for any leads for nothing to prevail.
[Back to Lora and Jin as they find a kid and Lora walks up to the kid]
Lora: What happened? Are you alone
Jin: Looks like the only survivor
Jin and Lora looks around
Jin: These burn patterns don't look like Malos's handiwork. Must have been humans looting and pillaging while the world burns.
Lora looks at the kid
Lora: Hey it's ok. Would you like to come with us? You don't have to worry really. We're all good people. Promise.
The kid looks back up to Lora.
Jin knells down
Jin: Can you walk?
The kid nods his head yes
Jin: You can.
Jin pats the kid in the head
Jin: Good going.
As they were walking they decided to take a rest.
Lora: and your family? Whether they're with you should we go back
Mikhail: Mikhail.
Lora: Hm?
Mikhail: My name is Mikhail.
Lora: Oh right I'm Lora. And he's...
Mikhail: I don't have a family. I was sold to this village from eating. So I'm all alone.
Lora: I see. Right then. Starting today we're going to be your new family. We'll take you back to our friends and...
Mikhail: You people? You're strangers. You don't have to pretend to care.
Lora chuckles a bit.
Lora: You don't beat around the bush do you? (He's gonna be a handful this one. Though really I was just the same once.) Very well. Friends first then not family. How's that sound?
Jin: Lora.
Lora: hm? What's up
Jin: I'll scout the area. Look after him.
Lora: Oh of course. Be careful. And Jin.
Jin: I know (Jin starts putting his mask on and starts scouting)
Back to Leon
Leon: Footsteps?
Leon would keep walking to find graveyards.
Leon: No signs of Dracula anywhere. Must be another villain in the works.
[Back to Alberius]
Alberius: The power of this sword is extraordinary!
Girl: That is the sacred sword Dragalia, handed down through the Ilian Church. It is said to be the very pactstone which served to mark the bond between the Goddess and the Holywrym.
Alberius: It's what?
Girl: I have been waiting for you, bearer of the dragon blood. Since the distant era of Ilia herself, I have awaited you.
Alberius: I don't understand any of this.
Alberius, Midgardsormr, and the girl go inside a building.
Myriam: Then let me start from the beginning. I am Myriam, an emissary of the church. The church tasked me with transporting the sword from the Curia to a cathedral in South Grastaea.
Midgardsormr: And you claim this sword to be not only a pactstone, but the pactstone of Elysium, the ruler of this world.
Myriam: Yes. It is said this sword was given to Ilia by Elysium, which is why we have sworn to guard it to this very day.
Midgardsormr: I find it hard to believe the pactstone of the Holywrym is in the hands of humans.
Myriam: It is said the Holywrym granted us this sacred sword so we might stand against the great evil of Morsayati, the Other.
Midgardsormr: I know Morsayati. He is the overlord of the other world who Ilia and Elysium defeated after forging their pact.
Myriam: Yes. But here we are, 700 years hence, and the world is on the cusp of being menaces by the Other once more.
Alberius: Because the cruel Dynrell Empire worships the creature and plots to see him brought back to life, right?
Myriam: Originally, Dyrenell was a collection of devout believers of Ilia. But somewhere along the line, they came to believe the Other represented true righteousness and turned against the Ilian Church.
Alberius: Now they seek to after the universe itself and to the Other, and have started a new war of aggression to that end. I thought this whole "Other" business was merely a pretext for expanding territory, but based on those soldiers, they seem to believe in the curse body and soul.
Myriam: It's said they found a new way to contact the sealed Other and borrow his grim power.
Alberius: That would also explain how a small island nation suddenly gained the power to launch a war of this magnitude.
Myriam: Indeed. Already no fewer than 5 nations have fallen under Dyrenell rule. The Ilian Church has brought together an allied coalition of nations in the south in order to halt their advance, but...
Alberius: But the fight goes poorly, I assume.
Myriam: "When the Other's fell shadow darkens the world once more, a hero of dragon blood shall appear." "Let the bond between Holywrym and Goddess be the blade by which they quell the resurgent evil and preserve the order of the entire universe."
Alberius: Pretty, after a fashion. What is it?
Myriam: A prophecy of the Ilian Church; one which tells of the Other's restoration, as well as the appearance of a hero who will draw the sacred sword to save the world. But few believe the prophecy now, for none have been able to wield the sword over the centuries. Yet we've no choice but to cling to those ancient words for hope and succor. And now you stand the possessed and able to wield the blade! Truly, this is divine providence.
Midgardsormr: You have used the term "dragonblood" several times now, but I know now what it refers to. Can you explain?
Alberius: And while you're at it, perhaps you can explain why I seem to have it. The dragonblood is a bloodline that arose 700 years ago when Ilia and Elysium swore their pact. When their compact was sealed, those who were showered with light released from the pactstone gained the power to form their own pacts with dragons. It is said those with the dragonblood are able to pass it down through generations to this very day.
Alberius: And thus me as well.
Myriam: Yes! You are exactly the dragonblood hero we have been waiting for! Please, great Alberius! Grant us your guidance!
Alberius: Enough. I'm not the hero type.
Myriam: Then fight with us or even stand at our side if you've no taste for war! Having the dragonblood hero with us is sure to bring hope to the people. Please, I beg it of you!
Alberius: That's rather a large request to spring on a man you've only just met.
Midgardsormr: Yes, your words do rather carry on air of selfishness. If Alberius is indeed the dragonblood hero as you proclaim, he will no doubt be pressured to fight. And in the end, he will be forced to bear the burden of being a hero, whether he wishes such a thing or not. Am I mistaken?
Myriam: Well...
Midgardsormr: I have clearly hit the mark in which case it seems your purpose here was deception.
Alberius: Easy, Midgardsormr. I think this woman meant well enough. Honestly, I always viewed the Other and the war as someone else's concern, so the idea of stepping right into it... I fear I cannot answer you now; I need time to see the world and view this problem as my own. Will you grant this?
Myriam: Yes! Of course!
Alberius: Stilk, the Emprire is clearly aiming to get their hands on this sword, so I'll at least escort you to this cathedral of yours.
Myriam: I thank you for your consideration, O great and heroic Alberius!
Alberius, I'm no hero yet! For now, you can think of me as a mere traveling companion. And on that note, let's ease off all the grand titles and just call me Alberius all right?
Myriam: Of course, O grea... Er, I mean... Alberius. Did I do it right?
Alberius: You did just fine, Mym.
Myriam: Huh? Mym?
Alberius: It suits you better. Trust me, I'm good with these sorts of things.
Myriam: All right, then...
Midgardsormr: You cannot reason with this man. He does whatever he wants, and doesn't take no for an answer. If you are labeling under the fantasy that he will become some sort of grand hero, I warn you to revise your thinking
Myriam: Yes, I see what you mean
Alberius: Enough talking, you two. Let us be off!
Back to Lora and Jin as they are camping out for the night.
Lora: How sad. That village I mean.
Jin: It is.
Lora: That blade Malos. He didn't do that did he.
Jin: The town's raised by the Aegis were completely obliterated. I plan to inform the mercenaries of this.
Lora: How could a person do something so awful.
Jin: Anyway. You should rest now. We should be able to meet up with Haze tomorrow.
Lora: Oh yes. I wonder if she's found any leads on mother. I hope so anyway.
Jin: I'll prepare food. Then rest up.
Lora: Oh that's kind of you thanks.
Then next day they continue their travels.
Lora: Looks like Haze isn't here yet.
They find a big creator showing destruction.
Lora: What the... this is should be village of Feltley Village
Jin: It's almost like glass. Rumor among the mercs says that's the hallmark of the Aegis.
Lora: But why would he does it?
A giant robot attacks them
Jin: Look out
Jin grabs Lora and Mikhail and saves them. But Jin's mask falls off.
Lora: Jin...
Jin: It's nothing. Let's go.
Mikhail goes out of the way so Jin and Lora can fight. But nothing Jin and Lora did would even hurt the robot.
Lora: This is no normal monster.
Jin: Not an Ardianian Titan weapon either.
Lora: Maybe it's Malos's
???: Get down you two.
Lora and Jin sees a light above striking the robot down and destroy it as Jin and Lora get out of the way.
Lora: Holy...
A blonde girl shows up. With a gold sword
Blonde girl: That was a close one.
A man with a hoodie shows up
Hooded man: Looks like Malos's artifices are still roaming around.
Lora: So it was.
Two two drivers and blades stare each down.
Hooded man: Hey. Wait a minute.
The hooded man takes off his hood and reveals the has golden eyes and white hair.
Lora looks at Jin and looks at the other guy and noticed his emblem.
Lora: The emblem of Torna.
Man: You are Jin right? Wow I can't believe it. I came out here and who do I say but the paragon of Torna and his driver. You're so young. That core crystal was stolen 7 years ago. Quite a feat to pull off that heist at that age age.
Lora: Are you going to arrest us? Execute us?
Man: I don't know yet. I did just save you after all.
Lora: Oh magnanimous.
Jin: Lora there's no point in talking.
Jin draws his blade and Lora gets in her fighting stance.
The blonde girl walks forward
Girl: Have it you way
The girl draws out her sword.
The girl and Jin starts clashing while the man and Lora starts fighting. As they were fighting the man and the girl notices Lora and Jin passing the sword to each other.
Girl: The hell are these two. They're just a driver and blade. Where's the strength coming from.
Man: Well he is the Paragon on Torna.
Jin starts using his ice powers but the girl blocks it using her power and a big explosion goes in between.
The man puts away his sword.
Man: You!!! Points are Lora and starts walking forward
Lora: What?
The man stops walking.
Man: You what incredible you both of us.
Lora: Huh
Lora and Jin looks at each other confused.
Man: That last attack the force behind it was absurd. I'm amazing.
Lora: Oh really. Well that's just oh (chuckles a bit)
Man: Oh and passing the weapon a concept. How did you ever come up with that idea.
Lora: Oh well. We were broke.
Man: Huh?
Lora: We couldn't afford meals. Let alone another sword and so we made do.
The man and the girl looked shocked.
The man starts laughing
Man: You're kidding
Lora: Hmph (Lora crosses her arms)
Man: You guys are the best. I haven't laugh this hard in ages.
Lora: Huh.
Man: I really really you like you 2.
A kids showed up and a girl with a staff shows up
Kid: Master Addam sir!!!!!!
Addam: Milton!!!!
Milton and the girl starts running up to Addam and Milton hugs Addam.
Milton: Oh thank goodness you're alright. Master Addam are you hurt at all
Lora: Master Addam? You can't be The Addam Origo?
Jin: The Lord of Aletta and 4th in line to the throne of Torna.
Girl: Oh come on Milton. I've been with him the whole time. You really think these two would cause any harm?
Milton: You've been using your dumb artifice haven't you?
Mythra: Dumb?!
Milton: So yeah sure nothing to worry about right?
Addam knells down to Milton
Addam: Milton? Who's this then then?
Milton: Ah this is Haze. She rescued me from the jaws of some nasty monsters.
Haze smiles
Addam: Well. I'd better give her my thanks (knells back up)
Lora: Haze.
Addam: Oh. Was she with you?
Haze: I'm sorry to keep you waiting my lady.
Later that night they all decided to camp out.
Addam: I see. So that's when... what it's a sad tale oh (starts crying)
Milton: Oh here we go again (gives Addam a tissue)
Addam starts wiping his tears.
Milton gives Mikhail a bowl of soup.
Milton: Don't let it get cold now
Mikhail takes the soup.
Addam: So then. How come you've been listed with a band of mercenaries.
Lora: I guess I like the freedom. This way I'm not tied down. So I can help out with causes I really believe in you know? Going stuff everywhere you look these days right? I can't ignore can I?
Addam: I understand.
Girl: Fat load a good that'll do. In the long run. The world keeps turning anyway.
Jin: You might think that. But mercenaries and statesmen each have their own views and ways to affect change. It's not in vain.
Mythra: Hmm. Blade siding with humans. Don't see that everyday
Jin: I think it's blades like you that rare.
Mythra: We'll duh. You know what I am right?
Jin: Lacking in compassion.
Mythra: Huh?
Jin: Blades like you are a rare sight. That may be the best.
Lora: So about Jin. I suppose you have to take him away.
Addam: I could try to slow you right here.
Lora: But?
Addam: But my mission is to stop the Aegis destruction. To subdue Malos. Not to seek out lost trinkets. Who cares about Paragons anyway.
Lora: Huh?
Addam: His about you two join up lend us your strength. You're incredibly powerful. There's loads I want to pick up from you. Like that trick from before. Let's see. We'll say I found the paragon on my journey and decided to entrust him to you. To help with Malos. Well sound plausible?
Lora: Perhaps just...
Later the blonde girl and Addam decided to talk
Girl: How dare he speak to me like that. He thinks he knows me.
Addam: Course is the word.
Girl: Yeah. He is.
Addam: I meant you.
Girl: Me?
Addam: You meant your unpolished. After you return to your core, you lose your memories. However as gain experience with people gradually the nature of a blade, rather their feelings. They change and grow. You become more and more human. But you purposely keep yourself apart.
Girl: Oh so now it's my fault?
Addam: No not at all. I respect that part of you.
Lora: Hey you angry about this whole Malos thing?
Jin: I'm not. Whatever happens I'll protect you. Be sure. We cannot simply ignore what's happening in the world but...
Lora: But what?
Jin: Please say you'll be careful.
Lora: I will.
The next day
Lora walks up to Addam, the girl, and Milton
Lora: Um. Your highness.
Addam: Just Addam is fine. What is it.
Lora: The going off to Malos thing. Could it wait a days?
Addam: Oh is there something you need to do first?
Lora: I well yes.
Haze: You see Lady Lora seeks the whereabouts of her mother. Unfortunately she has her mercenaries duties to perform. Therefore I often go out and conduct these searches myself.
Addam: I see. Then you found her?
Haze: Yes. With all that happened yesterday I did not have to the opportunity to say. Melady. Your mother is currently residing in a small hamlet called Torigoth.
Lora: Torigoth.
Addam: That's on the edge of Gormoth. Ardanian and Coeian forces clash out there frequently. It's very dangerous.
Haze: Indeed.
Addam: Right. No time to waste. Let us head out there.
Lora: What? But what about your mission?
Addam: You don't want to see your mother?
Lora: Of course but...
Addam: Then let's go. Malos hasn't hit that part of the world yet. It's as good a place as any to look.
Lora: You're hoping we might find him there?
Addam: Exactly.
Lora: That sounds too easy.
Addam: We go to the village of Torigoth to find Malos. And you go to Torigoth to find your mother. Everybody wins.
Lora: And once I found my mother I join up with you?
Addam: Hmm. That's the general idea then. I'll send my people to notify your mercenary friends and perhaps we could find a place for your moth in the capital. It should be safe there.
Lora: Is this normal princely behavior?
Girl: You think this is bad, just stick around for a bit.
Milton: Nobody's like making you come along you know.
Girl: Unfortunately a driver and blade are one in body and soul.
Milton: As if you don't do whatever you feel like doing anyway.
Addam: I know this is all very sudden. Still. We don't know where we'll run into Malos next. It makes sense to stick together as much as we can.
Once they arrive in Gormott they saw a town that is destroyed.
Lora: Oh no.
Addam: Here too? Gormott is an attractive target but this... Whoever did this has no compassion or respect for the people they killed.
Girl: Whether it was Malos or someone else, either way. Clearly they're all toast.
Addam: Mythra.
Mythra gasps and looks at Lora as if she feels bad for her.
Jin: Lora...
Lora: It's... okay. Mother could've run somewhere safe.
The crew adventured on and they saw a graveyard with a man laying down next to a shovel as he looked like he passed out.
Addam: Look. Fresh graves over here.
Haze: This kind soul must've drugged them all.
Addam notices Mythra as she sniffed.
Addam: What's wrong?
Mythra: Should... should we bury him too?
Addam: ... yes let's...
Lora gasps and runs to a certain gravestone
Lora: This... (sees a necklace and picks it up) I made this by myself. She kept it this whole time..
Lora starts crying and Jin walks up to her and hugs her.
Meanwhile with Alberius
Alberius: Here at last. Let's weigh anchor for the night, shall we?
Myriam: Er, you mean in this village? But why?
Alberius: Oh, I heard a rumor or two and wanted to drop by. See, some say it...
They all hear a loud stomping noise and see a dragon white and pink
Guardian Dragon: Greeting, travelers. It's unusual indeed for new faces to visit our humble home.
Myriam: It's a dragon
Alberius: That's right. People and dragons live side-by-side in this place, and it has prospered greatly as a result.
Myriam: I've never heard such a thing...
Villager: Look, O guardian dragon! Our wheat has ripened!
Guardian dragon: Indeed it has, which means it will be time to pull the harvest equipment before long. Oh, I can hardly wait to get started!
Alberius: ...
Myriam: Is something amiss, Alberius? You appear distracted.
Alberius: I was just thinking about how wide the would of this village is.
Myriam: I'm afraidI don't take your meaning.
Alberius: In the universe we know, people are people, dragons are dragons, and never the Twain shall meet, for lack of a better phrase. But this village has gone beyond that framework- so even though it's small, it's a wider would than the one outside it. One day, I'd like to see just how wide the whole would actually is.
Myriam: You have rather curious thoughts.
Alberius: Midgardsormr says the same of me on an almost daily basis.
Myriam: I understand. Our would is full of walls of one kind of another, and they're always made me feel rather cramped. The war brings it share, of course, but even the present internal structure of the Ilian Church is fraught with the powerful scheming toward self-interest. This despite the fact the Ilian creed is modesty itself: Respect dragons and live in harmony with all nature. If only the faith could be more like you and think in a positive way about a future that involved dragons. Perhaps then, we...
Alberius: ... Mym?
Myriam: Ah, apologies. Please pay me no mind; I merely pray to the Goddess that your dream might one day be realized.
Guardian dragon: To think I would have an audience with the Windwyrm all the way out here! I didn't think you ventured beyond the bounds of your domain
Midgardsormr: I encountered an unusual human and was curious as to what he might accomplish, so I ventured forth to see it for myself.
Guardian dragons: Then I hope your journey is a fruitful one.
Midgardsormr: As do I. Incidentally, might I attribute the great agricultural abundance here to an exercise of your own power?
Guardian dragon: You see much, Windwyrm. I am indeed lending the village my aid to ensure a harvest of plenty.
Midgardsormr: I confess myself unimpressed. One might say you're twisting the ways of the universe for the convenience of these people, no?
Guardian dragon: Is it not the way of the universe to bestow our blessings upon the people?
Midgardsormr: There is truth to that, however humans must also fear and respect our might. Should the balance of this tilt too far, the order of things would crumble.
Guardian dragon: Perhaps, but when I think of all the good people here, I find myself loathe to make such harsh decisions.
Midgardsormr: Which is the very reason you should refrain from consorting with people. How else will you hope to preserve the way of things?
Guardian dragon: Your thinking is reasonable, Windwyrm, but if that is indeed the way of things, then why are we dragons possessed of sentiment at all?
Midgardsormr: What?
Gyardian dragon: If your way is all there was emotions would be unnecessary. Yet we are emotional beings who are able to sympathize with people! When they are happy, we rejoice. When they are sad, we mourn. If we dragons are part of the this universe works, then my feelings in this respect must also be a part of it.
Midgardsormr: I worry you are twisting my words merely to justify your own actions.
Guardian Dragon: Heh. Perhaps I am, at that. Even so, I... Hmm?
Midgardsormr: Ah, forgive me. It's nothing.
All the sudden the guardian dragons gets killed by some spears.
Alberius: Huh?
???: SLAUGHTER THEM!!!! EVERY SINGLE OF THEM!!!!!
Villagers starts screaming as imperial soldiers are chasing them. Alberius then stops in front of the soldiers.
Alberius: You again?
Imperial commander: You dare mess with with those who side with Morsayati?
Alberius: I would do anything that involves stopping those who kill people for fun.
Imperial commander. Then prepare to die human!!!!
Alberius: Myriam... give me the sword.
Myriam: But...
Alberius: I used it once and nothing bad happened right? I'm pretty sure nothing bad would happen.
Myriam: Um... okay
Myriam gives him the sword and Alberius kills every single of the imperial soldiers and the commander.
Back to Addam and his team as they decided tocontinue their adventure
Ardainian soldier: Surround them.
The Ardainian soldiers pulled out their guns and knifes.
Addam: Ardianian troops? Imperial Guard?
Ardainian soldier: Thieving scum. Don't think you're gonna get away from your dirty deeds
Lora: No. We're just...
A girl with a purple dress and blue hair flame hair starts walking towards them
???: Problem captain?
Ardainian soldier: Lady Brighid. They're brigands say ones who attack the village perhaps.
Brighid: Drivers and blade are brigands?
Addam: So that's Brighid?
Brighid: Captain. I shall deal with these individuals. Hugo must be informed.
Ardainian soldier: Yes ma'am. You lot. Stay here. Assist the Lady Brighid.
Soldiers: YES SIR!!!!
Milton and Mikhail run to the side so Lora, Jin, Mythra, Addam and Haze can get to their fighting positions.
Addam, Lora and Jin fought the soldiers and defeated them as Mythra and Brighid keeps fighting.
Mythra: Not done with you
Mythra slashes her sword as Brighid keeps blocking it.
Brighid then jumps and uses her whips to unleash her fire power surrounding Mythra with blue flames. Mythra then uses her sword to get rid of the fire.
Mythra: Come on. That was a pretty cheap trick. Keep going like that you'll get a reputation.
Brighid then lands
Brighid: Cheap you say. Don't be absurd. It's called tactics look it up. But perhaps that's something like a simpleton like yourself could never hope to comprehend.
Brighid then attacks but Mythra deflects the attack
Mythra: A simpleton!
Brighid: Your attacks scream it. Clumsy, heavy, no refinement.
Mythra: Ah... I was gonna go easy on you but now... Now you've PISSED ME OFF!!!!
Mythra's core crystal on her head starts to glow.
Addam: Mythra stop. We've got children here.
A light beam attacks Brighid but Brighid barely dodges it.
Brighid: What was that... if that had actually hit me.
Mythra: Oh. Didn't like that did you. I can see it on your face. Well on that note.
Mythra's core crystal glows once more.
Addam: Mythra!!!
Lora: Haze!!!
Haze: Understood.
Haze uses here staff as it starts glowing. A green light surrounded Mythra and Brighid making them feel weak.
Mythra: Wha... what... how?
Brighid then falls to the ground
Mythra: Is this you? What the hell? She's our enemy!!!
Lora: Addam plainly ordered you to stop. Or didn't you hear him, simpleton.
Brighid: How extraordinary. I'd heard of a blade with the power to restrain others but I never thought... and did she say Addam? It can't be.
A man with silver armor and blue hair walks toward them. With his blade
???: All of you. Lay down your arms. There is no need for this.
Mythra and Brighid then puts their weapons away.
Haze then stops using her staff.
Addam: Hello.
???: It's good to see you again. Prince Addam. Please forgive the actions of my guards.
Addam: Don't you worry about it. I'm just glad to see you well. Your Imperial Majesty.
Lora: Imperial Majesty?
Addam: May I introduce. The Emperor of Mor Ardain! Hugo Ardanach.
Lora: The Ardainian Emperor? What's someone of his station doing out here.
Addam: You know our stations are fairly similar.
Mythra: Not that you'd never know.
Addam: Thanks. I try.
Hugo: I've came for the aegis. It's actions have been built in Mor Ardain as well. We're currently chasing it down.
Addam: The same as us then? But coming here yourself?
Hugo: My brother is ruling in my absence.
Addam: I see and so you brought Brighid and Aegaeon?
Lora: Huh?
Addam: Those two are the Crown Jewels of the Ardainian forces. Wielding them on the front lines is the duty of her who has the throne.
Hugo: Indeed. That'll ought to have been my older brother.
Addam: But he didn't have the potential to become a driver. And now here you are. Bonded with both of them.
Hugo: The special Inquisitor is under my brother's direct command.
Addam: Oh.
Hugo: Should I fall in battle? He has his orders to retrieve the core crystals.
Lora: That sounds cold.
Addam: That's how it goes with matters of State.
Hugo: And yet. It works out well for me. I've always wanted to put myself on the line for our people. And I never enjoyed wielding Authority in the first place.
Addam: I feel the same way. I don't get why anyone would want to sit on a throne.
Hugo: Yes that. If Prince Zettar knew, there were be consequences.
Addam: Let's pretend you didn't hear me say that.
Hugo: You two will never see eye to eye. Better to leave well enough alone.
Addam: Ruling is frankly... it's a scary thought. Just imagine becoming someone you don't recognize. Never knowing who's looking back at you in the mirror.
Hugo: Prince Addam. I'd be happy if you call me Hugo. Like old times.
Addam: I will but only if you call me Addam in return. Well it would be beneficial to share our findings. But perhaps elsewhere might be better.
Hugo: How about your majesty's flagship. Indeed
Lora: Flagship?
Haze: Is something matter Lady Lora?
Lora: I'm just not very good in that stuffy environment.
Mythra: We'll you're not alone there. That's the worst
Lora: Right? I think I'll sit this particular venture out.
Mythra: Yeah I'm out too.
Mythra then turns around and was about to walk away but Addam grabs her arm.
Addam: Oh no you don't.
Hugo: Wait a minute. Is that her?
Addam: Yes. This is Mythra. One of the aegises. Your account would be valuable as well Lora.
Lora: Everything I've seen or heard. Jin will know as well.
Jin: Ah... Yes that's true.
Lora: Please would you go instead of me please.
Jin: Of course. I will do as you wish.
Hugo: Thank you kindly. Well then. Shall we?
Meanwhile with Malos as he transported to a castle.
Malos: Hey.
???: What do you want?
Malos: I think you know Dracula.
Dracula then turns around
Dracula: How do you know me.
Malos: We both got the same intention. We both want to see the universe burn. However. I can't do it alone and neither can you.
Dracula: What do you want?
Malos: I might need the chaos emerald. However. I also heard that a special prisoner who's willing to help us is sealed into Torna. What do you say???
Dracula then gives an evil smile to Malos.
Back to Alberius.
Alberius: So this is the cathedral. The seat of the Ilian Church's power in the southern part of the continent.
Myriam; And a critical location in the battle against the Empire. Come, then. Let me introduce you.
Archbishop: I doubted your take at first, Myriam, but it seems you have indeed found the legendary dragonblood hero.
Myriam: Yes. In battle with the Empire did the sacred sword and one of dragonblood come to meet. It must be the guidance of the Goddess.
Lord 1: Then he truly is the hero of Dragalia!
Lord 2: Truly, the Goddess has cast her watchful eye upon us as we spare no effort to hold the front in this war. It's a miracle, so it is!
Lord 1: We'll spread the news far and wide until even the Imperials know of it!
???: Please hold, my brothers.
Lord 1: Cardinal Lambert!
Lambert: Is it not rather soon for such things? We do not know if this man is suitable to carry on Ilia's will, after all.
Archbishop; But he has drawn the sacred sword, which means he is the dragonblood hero foretold in prophecy.
Lord 1: Exactly! He's been sent by the Goddess to save us from our predicament. And the sooner we tell the imperials the sooner they turn tail and run!
Lambert: Calm yourselves my brothers
Lords: ...
Lambert: The Curia commanded me to direct this hold war against the villainous Empire. I canning so lightly make key decisions pertaining to the future of the alliance. Surely you understand my position.
Lords and Archbishop; Yes. I suppose...
Lambert: Now the, it is true that none but those of the dragonblood can hope to wield the sacred sword. However, merely wielding the sword does not automatically make one WORTHY of it.
Myriam: But father I...
Lambert: I have spoken to you about using my proper name in public spaces, Myriam.
Myriam: Oh. Er, forgive me Cardinal Lambert. But I can vouch for the quality of this man's character. He IS worthy.
Lambert: And I have no indication that I would accept him. Dragalia is a holy relic passed down since antiquity. It is not meant to be entrusted to a soul of easy resolve. Thus Alberius. I would put you to a test and determine if you truly are worthy to wield that most holy of blades.
Alberius: It was never my intention for all of you to jail me as a hero merely on my say-so, but neither have I come merely to satisfy a fleeting whim. If you wish to test me, I accept your trail.
Lambert: If you truly are the hero of legend, a certain dragon will answer your call. I speak, of course, of Elysium, the Holywrym.
Alberius: I must say, I was rather surprised to learn your father is the leader of the alliance.
Myriam: I wasn't trying to conceal it from you. I just... well, I guess there is a bit of distance between the two of us. I'm sorry if I was not forthcoming.
Alberius: You've nothing to apologize for. Besides, the pressing issue here is whether or not I can truly meet with thy Holywrym.
Myriam: All I can tell you is that the Gate of the Forbidden Dominion is said to respond to the dragonblood.
Midgardsormr: And that gate leads to Elysium's domain?
Myriam: Yes. If the gate is opened, it will grant you an audience with Elysium. And if you win the Holywrym's approval...
Midgardsormr: Then none can hope to oppose him, I take it?
Alberius: This is the Gate of the Forbidden Dominion, but I see no way to open it.
All the sudden Alberius, Myriam, and Midgardsormr started to glow and teleport to an unknown land.
Alberius: Nnngh... This meadow...
Midgardsormr: Liekly the Holywrym has transported us to its forbidden dominion.
???: I have been waiting for you, dragonblood. And you a well, Windwyrm.
Alberius and Midgardsormr: ...
Alberius: You are the Holywrym of legend...
Elysium: Yet! I am also order itself, and the one who oversees the world entire. I become aware of the signs of the Other's return, and so did I wait. For I suspected that one day a descendant of those who partook in the light of my pactstone would come before me.
Midgardsormr: z there is a thing I do not know, Holywrym: With your power, the defeat of the Other could be realized, so why do you entrust that duty to mere humans?
Elysium: As this is our first meeting with the new life you have gained, Windwyrm, I shall deign to answer your query. It is because of the pact which continues from the era of myself and Ilia. People were given the mission to defeat the Other, and as such Ilia swore to spread the creed amongst them and take on the task of defeating him for all time.
Alberius: In that case, Holywrym, I would have you judge me. Am I worthy of wielding this sword? Do I have resolve to face the Other?
Elysium: Indeed I shall else I would not have manifested before you. I shall measure your courage and resolve to challenge me along with your ability. If your strength and spirit are found to be without wanting, then I shall entrust you with Dragalia.
Alberius: Then I will face you with all that I am so the conviction of my blade is doubtless! Judge my worth Elysium.
Back to Addam
Addam: Right so it was the Caein forced that ravaged this area.
Hugo: Yes. Many troops remained here with no orders after Malos sank their homeland. We're doing our best to disarm them but we'll you've seen the village. Sadly has happened more than once.
Addam: The powers that be bicker among themselves. Ignoring the larger danger.
Hugo: And right now. That is the one thing we cannot afford.
Everyone hears footsteps.
Aegaeon: I will go take a look.
Aegaeon leaves.
Hugo: Incidentally. I was torn I been feeling.
Addam: I'd like to tell you that the people bask in the Peace of His Majesty's rule. But I'm afraid that would be a lie.
Hugo: Same as everyone else then. Yes?
Addam: Torna has not escaped Malos's rampage unscathed.
Hugo: If that is so, allow me to offer you the Imperial Army's assistance in this time of.
Addam: Don't sorry about it. This is exactly the reason Indol entrusted her to me.
Hugo: So that's why the returning hero pacifier of the borderlands was really just.
Addam: Never before as a blade broken free and rampaged like this. I can see why Indol would prefer to keep it quiet. They're even routing support to the militia through Argentum for deniability.
Hugo: And then towards you.
Addam: I'm just some princely me.
Hugo: Surely if you defeat Malos, your cover will be blown.
Addam: If indeed. But we're not in it for the glory are we. When we're done I'll just plough my fields in peace.
Aegaeon returns
Aegaeon: Your majesty. Some of our troops have returned to base but.
Hugo: Is something wrong? Aegaeon: They're all reporting something strange. A marauding group of routed mercenaries trying to avoid any attention.
Hugo: Just remnants hmm? That's strange. There's not much around here for them in the way of paid work of opportunities for looting.
Aegaeon: As your Majesty commanded. Our men did not engage. We can confirm their bearing. Then withdrew.
Hugo: And? Where they going?
Aegaeon: The village outskirts.
Addam: But why there? There's nothing but graveyards.
Jin immediately runs out.
Mythra: What the?
Addam: Oh no.
Everyone then runs out.
Meanwhile with Lora: At first I thought to take it but I'd made it for her. And I like to keep it forever.
???: So. The bitch is dead is she? Chime. I had a soft spot for her.
Lora and Haze then gets in their fighting position. And see a bunch of men with the leader with a metal arm.
???: Ha. Guess you learned how to use a weapon at least. Big change from a tiny kid trying not to piss herself and fear.
Lora: Your... No. Gort.
Gort: Your remember me? How touching.
Lora: A face that ugly. I couldn't forget. Trust me I tried.
Gort: Harsh.
Lora: What do you want? Not that I can't imagine.
Gort: I'm here to take back what's mine kid. But before that, I'll take a bit of to time to express my gratitude to you. It ain't gonna be pretty or quick. That blade watch as I cut you into little sticky chunks. Just to make sure the last thing he feels is complete despair.
Haze: I'll hold them up. You get to the others quickly
Lora: But...
Gort: Oi!!! Surround them so they can't get away.
As they were surrounded by the men, Leon came by the save them.
Leon: Are you alright?
Lora and Haze: ...
Leon knocks down some men.
Gort: You bastard!!!!
Gort uses his metal arm to but Leon uses his whip to grab a sword and cuts both of Gort's arm off.
As Jin and the others came to save them, they notice Leon killing Gort.
Jin: Who... are you?
Leon: The same goes for you.
Lora: Jin it's alright. They saved us from Gort.
Addam: I see... Addam Origo's the name.
Leon: Leon.
Hugo: I'm Hugo. Say, we should go back and discuss some things. If that's alright with you Leon .
Leon: I couldn't care less about what you need. I'm looking for a certain vampire.
Addam: Vampire? The only one I know is... Dracula.
Leon: Wait... you have leads on him?
Addam: Not sure. But I do believe that he might be working with Malos.
Leon: Where can we talk?
Back to Alberius
Elysium: I see the measure of your worth. Excellent. Young humans of the dragonblood, I acknowledge you as worthy to bear the sacred sword Dragalia.
Alberius: I thank you, Elysium. And with this power, I swear to bring down the Other and safeguard people and dragons alike!
Elysium nods and flys away
Back to Addam and friends
Hugo: Thank you all for joining me here I'm afraid, I have important news that I need to impart to Addam.
Addam: Oh yes.
Hugo: It's about the militia.
Addam: I have gathered an army to make a stand. And also there's going to be a meeting between two kingdoms. One is very new to me.
Leon: Hmmm.
Mythra: Huh, it's something wrong?
Leon: It's just... what leads could we get on Dracula?
Addam: For all we know I heard that Dracula and Malos has teamed up to free the evil spirit called The Other.
The ship has landed and they all decided to get out.
Addam: Hey everyone!!
Everyone: Lord Addam has returned!!
Civilian 1: Welcome back Lord Addam.
Lora: Wow. Someone has a fan club.
Hugo: Maybe that's why he decided to take action.
Jin: We should rest
Mythra: You said it. I'm tired.
As everyone decided to sleep, Leon decided to do some scouting.
Addam: Is something wrong?
Leon stops in place
Leon: Yeah. I don't know why you all decided to sleep and camp when we have a situation going on.
Addam: Well without sleep, how could we fight?
Leon: Well, you're right I suppose.
The next day they all decided to travel to find Malos and Dracula as they were being attacked by a Slithe Jagron and was saved by a man with a blaster.
Addam: Minoth.
Minoth: Prince Addam.
Addam: I told you to stop calling me that.
Mythra: A blade?
Addam: He is blade. Or was, until he became a flesh eater.
Leon: What?
Minoth: Let's just say I'm immortal.
Leon: Immortal huh? That sounds... not interested.
Lora: A blade that is immortal?
Minoth: When a driver of a blade dies, a blade has to eat the flesh before they fade away. That's how I'm able to control my powers without a driver.
Addam: Is Amalthus coming?
Minoth: No. I haven't seen him in two years. I have a belief that Malos's ambitions were influenced by Amalthus.
Minoth then looks around and see Mythra
Minoth: And you. You're an Aegis right? Why are you here then?
Mythra: I don't know. This guy just woke me up. I literally couldn't care less about anything right now.
Leon: I like that attitude.
Mythra: Thanks.
Leon: You, any leads on Dracula?
Minoth: He's working with Malos. I heard he awakened a spirit called The Other.
Leon: You got to be shitting me.
Mythra: I know right. I don't know why I have to fight when I don't even know any of them.
Addam: Ignore her. She's actually a good kid in disguise.
Mythra: Since when did you get a parental huh?
Addam: Since I had a wife and kids. Someday Mythra. You'll find someone.
As everyone went to get some sleep Addam then wake from a nightmare and decided to start training.
Leon: Is everything okay?
Addam: Yeah why?
Leon: You seemed stressed.
Addam: Oh it's nothing. I just...
Leon: Something's wrong. Tell me.
Mythra: It's Amalthus.
Leon: Who's Amalthus?
Mythra: Long story short, Amalthus was a man who seemed to enjoy people suffering. What Minoth said might be true.
Addam: Pft. No. He helped with a refugee camp in Indol.
Mythra: Then why didn't he do anything about the people arguing at that camp the last time we were in Indol? Why did he smile?
Leon: This Amalthus, seems to be bad news Addam.
Addam: I doubt it guys. You all are just being paranoid.
The next day Addam and friends find a cabin on their way to their next destination point.
Addam: Well. We can camp out here.
Lora: Hey Jin, are you okay?
Jin: Yeah. This place just seems familiar.
Lora: Is it possible you've been here before?
Jin: I have no memory of it. But still...
Lora: Maybe you should walk around you can remember.
Jin: You're right.
Lora then finds Jin in a cabin looking at a picture of him and his past driver
Lora: My, how terribly desolate.
Jin puts away the picture in his pocket.
Lora: I heard it's been 90 years... what is it. Did you remember something?
Jin: No.
Lora: It's too bad. I would like to remember the old you.
Jin: I am. Who I am. I do not change.
Lora's heart starts pounding.
Jin: Are you okay?
Lora: Yeah. It's just that my heart started to pound when you say stuff like that. I don't think a woman would ever say no to you if you ask her out.
Jin: No... That's not what I mean
Lora: you're smooth and you know it.
Jin accidentally drops the photo.
Lora: Huh?
Lora picks up the photo
Lora: That's your past driver is it. Wait... we should take a picture.
Jin: Really?
Lora: Of us together.
Everyone then shows up
Addam: Did you say a photo?
Leon: Oh brother.
Everyone then takes the photo
Later at the night
Lora: So Milton, how long have you been with Addam?
Milton: Three years. With Mythra? A year. Addam was the one who helped me when my village was washed away in a flood.
Lora: So it wasn't because of Malos?
Milton: No... it was some vampire who took everything away from us.
Leon: Dracula.
Lora: Huh?
Leon: Dracula would do all this. That's why he's working with Malos.
Later everyone went to bed.
Lora: Should we bring the kids along?
Jin: Are you worried?
Lora: Yeah.
Jin: Alrest is a dangerous place right now. The world reaches everywhere.
Lora: I know we can keep them safe in a normal fight but this isn't an ordinary villain.
Lora gets up
Jin: Where are you going?
Lora: I want to speak with Addam
Jin: This late?
Lora: I want to see what he says.
A Lora was about to open the door Mythra and Milton screams.
Mythra: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THERE!!!! HEY!!!!! WHAT ARE DOING IN MY BED!!!!!
Lora and Jin hears noises of everything crashing
Lora and Jin opened their mouth shocked to hear what Mythra said.
Milton: What are you talking about?
Lora and Jin hear objects being thrown.
Mythra: GET OUT!!!! MONSTER!!!!!!
Milton: Hey quit it. This is where I sleep. It isn't your bed lady. You're such a pain in everyone's bum you know that. You simpleton!!!
Addam: Hey. Calm down. Both of you. OW!!!! Come on. Take it down... No... no...
More objects are being thrown.
Jin: Is something up?
Lora: I would sit this one out.
The next day
Lora notices Addam with a bruise on his forehead.
Lora: Are you okay?
Addam: Yeah.
Lora: It sounds like a scene. Addam yes well... I was just collateral damage.
Addam: I suggest that we leave the children so they don't get hurt.
Lora: Huh?
Addam: This is a very dangerous place. We can't see them get hurt.
Lora: Yeah.
They then arrived at Torna
Addam: There it is. The blue chaos emerald.
Lora: Huh?
Addam: It was said that there are seven chaos emeralds. Nobody knows their true power but they do know that it's very destructive.
Mythra: I seen that before but why is it up there?
Addam: People in Torna wanted to keep it safe.
Hugo: Is that what Malos and Dracula want?
Brighid: Why would he do that?
Leon: It's a chaos emerald. You need seven of those to take over the universe or something like that. Only gods are able to handle that kind of power.
The team then enters the capital and enters a conference with the king of Torna, Prince Zettar and Quaestor Amalthus.
Tornan king: So Malos wants the emerald?
Hugo: Yes. And we have word that he's working with Dracula.
Tornan King: Huh?
Leon: Dracula and Malos are teaming up together that emerald but for what we don't know about.
???: They also awakened The Other???
Hugo and Addam: Alberius?
Alberius shows up with a purple hair girl.
Alberius: Correct. How you been Addam? Hugo?
Hugo: Good. And yourself?
Alberius: I recently became king of Alberia.
Tornan King: And who's this purple hair girl?
Alberius: That is Cleo. With her staff she can heal anyone.
Cleo: Pleasure to meet you all.
Tornan King: So we should. So all the kingdoms in the universe are now working together to stop three major threats.
Addam: I suggest we move fast before...
A loud explosion happens and people are screaming.
Alberius: Oh no...
Aegaeon notices Malos's artifices attacking the village.
Addam and everyone then arrives and finds Malos, Dracula, and The Other.
Malos: Hello everyone. Well this is the first time I meet you all.
Mythra: Malos.
Jin: So this is Aegis. Malos. Then there's Dracula and The Other.
Leon: What is exactly your plan?
Dracula: We're here to get the emerald to awaken the Torna Titan.
Alberius: You can't be...
The Other: Yes. And everyone can see his full power. It'll be the first and last time every one of you can see it.
Leon: Over my dead body.
Malos: Exactly. You'll be dead when you see it. Want us to stop. Then come at me. ALL OF YOU!!!!!
Addam fight Malos as they clash swords.
Leon fights Dracula and Alberius fights The Other.
Malos: Addam Origo. I see that you're the choose one. But unfortunately I have to kill you!!!! Golden eyes. I thought you have blue eyes.
Addam: My father pays no attention to things like that.
Malos: And yet you don't know humans.
Addam: And you do?
Malos: I'm a diligent student.
Addam: Then learn this!!!
Mythra passes her sword to Addam and he holds it and uses it to attack Malos. Addam then passes his sword to Mythra and she clashes Malos. Everyone then attacks Malos.
Malos uses his dark powers to blast them all away.
Malos: Dracula!!!! Morsayati!!!!
Dracula: You two go on ahead. I'll distract them.
Dracula then turns to his true form a Morsayai teleports to get the emerald.
Malos: Thank you. Malos uses the artifice to fly him away and Morsayati teleports with the emerald.
Addam: What is that!!!
Leon: Dracula's true form.
Alberius: Oh no you don't!!!! Alberius summons 6 dragons.
Addam: What!!!!
Midgardsormr: Come on everyone. Let's go!!!!!
Leon: Go on without me.
Lora: Leon!!!!
Leon: It's fine. I want to kill Dracula myself.
As everyone gets on the dragons they tried to keep up with Malos but he gets away.
Everyone then gets down a they see the village and notices Leon is nowhere to be seen.
Lora: Where's Leon?
Addam: I don't know. Dracula seems to be gone so I assume that Leon has no business with us.
They then went inside the capital as they see Prince Zettar with Leon as Leon is all covered in blood and breathing very hard.
Everyone: LEON!!!!!
Leon starts coughing.
Leon: Hey everyone.
Cleo: Hold on.
Cleo tried to start healing Leon but nothing seems to work.
Lora: Haze!!!
Haze: Understood!!!
Haze also tries but nothing seems to work.
Leon: Don't...
Leon grunts.
Lora: But Leon... You'll...
Leon: Don't worry about it. It's not like I'll make it anyway.
Lora: Don't say that. Leon... You still got to fight Dracula.
Leon: Dracula's gone.
Lora: But you'll...
Leon: It's... fine
Leon then dies.
As everyone sets a funeral for Leon everyone then discuss the plan.
Lora: I think you should sit this one out Mikhail and Milton.
Milton: What?
Addam: I think it's best if you kids stay here.
Milton: But why? We want to help.
Lora: You can help by making sure Mikhail doesn't cause any trouble.
Mikhail: But I...
Lora stares at Mikhail.
Mikhail: Understood.
The then venture on the find Malos
Addam: It looks like Malos and Morsayati are waiting inside.
Hugo: What is their aim for all of this?
Alberius: Who knows. All we know is that they want to awaken the Titan. I'll get my dragons to scout.
Alberius then sends his dragons to scout.
Addam: You're an Aegis. Right Mythra? Surely you should know.
Mythra: Nope. We only have the same power level. That's it.
As they were on their way to the core, Malos approaches them from behind.
Malos: Don't bother.
Mythra: Malos!!!
Malos: Morsayti already has controlled the core of Torna. Soon. It'll be under his control.
Alberius: What...
Malos: Wow. I'm surprised you didn't know. Ten minutes before the universe gets destroyed. Now. I'm going to send my artifices to attack you.
Malos's gargoyle artifices starts flying toward everyone. As everyone fights them and Alberius starts charging to Morsayati.
Mythra and Malos starts clashing and Mythra sends out Ophion as it destroys most of the Gargoyles before Malos dismantles it. Mythra and Malos then call their sirens as both sirens and aegis starts clashing. A loud explosion hits the village killing Milton.
Mythra: Milton... MILTON!!!!!!
Mythra's core starts to glow and the gold sword and starts to turn teal as Addam lets go of her sword and falls to the ground. Mythra then picks up the sword and both Aegis gets inside the sirens and both start to fly and clash as Mythra recalls her journey of her friends she made along with a black hedgehog that would eventually awaken her in the future.
Mythra: Who's that hedgehog? And why do I see him in my visions!!!!! Mythra then use her true power to destroys Malos's siren as Malos falls to the ground. As Torna starts to fall apart everyone then escapes with The Tornan King dying giving Addam the throne. As more lasers starts attacking the team, Hugo got hit and died. Malos is then defeated and Alberius is then sealed Morsayati away sacrificing his life. Later Lora see Alberius and Hugo in Addam's arm as Lora was about to approach Hugo and Alberius but Jin stops her and Addam close their eyes with grief. As they all came to see Milton and Mikhail, they all see Milton in Mikhail's arms. Mythra then screams and starts glowing and turn into a red hair girl named Pyra.
The next day
Lora: So... where are you going Addam?
Addam: Now that Malos is gone, what's everyone's plan?
Lora: I actually don't know. You?
Addam: I'm going to turn the Aegis in. And maybe one day, someone will be strong enough to wield its power.
Lora: Well okay, then see you.
Everyone then went on their separate ways as Addam sealed the Aegis to an ancient ship as the ship sank after he left. A few days later Amalthus would then poison the praetor making him the praetor of Indol. Amalthus would then command his army to attack Jin, Lora, and Haze and killing Lora in the process. Jin would then become a flesh eater while Haze's core gets stolen from Amalthus.
500 hundred years later a black hedgehog appears as he sees a sword waiting to be picked up and a woman sealed inside the core
???: Scorpion. Where are you!!!!
The hedgehog looks around and finds a sword.
???: Woah. What is that?
Malos, Jin, a girl, a lion, a boy and a tied up ninja see the hedgehog as he's about to pick up the sword.
Malos: HEY!!!!! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT!!!!!!!
