#12 of Book 1: Eurasia's Awakening, Organization of Dragoons


Before this story starts, I would like to thank my good friends Jack and Noct. If it wasnt for him, this story wouldnt have happened. Also, all characters here are copyright of Eurasia21xx. Do not use in your stories without consulting me first.

"So, its finally begun...N.D. has announced his plan and will attack in three days. I'm going to be stuck in here while my comrades are slaughtered. Thanks alot", said Eurasia sarcastically. Freed from the torture table, he was now in a cage with no lock or anything. Aisarue kept a firm eye on him, making sure he doesn't escape from his prison.

"Well, don't be glum Eurasia. But...the only thing you should be worried about is how N.D. figured out our plan. How I have no idea...but he plans on killing us both after the assault on D.O.O.P.. You've felt his power...he can do it with minimal effort.", he said bluntly as he walked over to the cage.

Eurasia sighed, hoping that everything would not have been figured out so quickly, "Great...this is not good. Well, we have three days to prepare until that time. Also, according to what you are telling me, N.D. is in a meditative sleep until the time comes. We should take this time to pay a visit to the girls."

This idea was something he did not want to do, but it was his last hope to save them. Involving them was definitely a huge turn off for him, since of what happened to them last time. However, if he didn't, they would end up being killed regardless. Aisarue however, was very against this plan, walking over to the cage and poking his head between the cage "You do know what will happen if we get found out. He might kill us on the spot and even worse for you if we are caught with your lovers.", he said, grinning at him inside the cage. He was loving making his good side quiver with fear, which was a trait that came from him being his darker side.

Thoughts and images quickly circled in his mind, horrible ones of his loved ones beaten to death. That set off the dream he had not too long ago, but he knew that if he could pull it off, they could be safe. Aisarue however was far from done, " He'll kill them as well, probably first while making you watch...making them yell for you to protect them before ending their life. Ripping them apart and spraying their blood on you before---OOF!", but before he could finish, Eurasia quickly got up and punched him in the jaw. The hit however did not make him flinch, Eurasia's fist still embedded into his cheek.

His power was gone, now that the dragoon spirit on his real body was no longer his. To Aisarue, the punch was but a tap, however, it bothered him that he would still try anyway. With his finger, he moved his fist and looked him straight in the eye, "Eurasia, you really care for them so much that you would forfeit your life? You truly are a fool Eurasia...how can you expect them to be happy for you, if you are dead? I just don't understand...but we'll follow your plan. Lets pay a visit to them...only if you do me one favor. I'll throw in a bonus for you if you do this favor me...and I'm sure you'll like this bonus"

Doing a favor for someone who had caused him so many problems was something that he was in mood for, as he stumbled back to the end of the cage. Looking at his options, a favor that will help his dragonesses live sounded like something he should do, but the only thing that bothered him was the possibilities of what he would be asking for. He faced him from the back of the cage and sighed, "Fine...what favor do you want? I'll do anything if it means to save them..."

Back at D.O.O.P., it was declared a state of emergency. The return of N.D. was something that got Stanis and the rest of the higher authority sweating like crazy, getting everyone as prepared as he could. Expansion shards were being given to every dragoon except for the very new arrivals, who were sent back so that there might be a hope for the future in case of the worst possible outcome.

Stanis was alone in his quarters, sitting behind his desk and thinking, "What a mess...this might really be the end. N.D. was unstoppable before, but we only got out because the hero himself was able to defeat him. This time however, no one here is anywhere near as powerful as he was. What to do...", but with no new ideas, he was in trouble.

Moments later, Nocturnophile entered the room, holding a pile of paper and slamming it onto his desk, "Leader, these are the files you requested. Everything we have on the land below D.O.O.P., formally known as Myristyl, the land of hopes and dreams.", he said, wiping the sweat from his head. Stanis nodded and started to rummage through the paper, skimming through the text.

"Good work Commander Noct, we need to know as much as we possibly can about the battle ground that N.D. mentioned in his message. Everything about it was all destroyed during the great migration of dragons and humans. Only one who know everything there by heart was the hero himself and the Dark Lord. From what we know, its nothing down there. No plants can grow since there is no sun here, yet it keeps its temperature at a constant 80 degrees. It's still unknown as to why, but it is the perfect battle ground.", said Stanis, tossing aside the stack.

Noct bowed and left the room, leaving Stanis alone in his quarters. He scratched his head for a moment to think about what to do. The land its self was dangerous to be on, since of unpredictable activities that could happen. From earthquakes, tornadoes to practically any other land disaster. "Seems that everything is going how he wants it...fighting in an land with no holds barred...this won't end well..."

-

"Wow...he seemed so scared from that message. He left us without saying goodbye...", said Shyranrya, walking around in a little circle. Zero got the message on his P.I.C., as well as Rizan who was looking at her P.I.C. as well. The message got through to all three of the girls.

It seems that the situation had gotten much worse now than before, now out of their control.

Hamelis got up and stretched her wings, before starting to walk out of the forest, "Well, lets go back to your cave Shyranrya. Well..in front of it so we can talk about what to do next. That N.D. is very serious and we should discuss what to do next. Just so we don't end up doing something that could interfere with the dragoons.", she said, her steps shaking the earth quite a bit before the other two started to follow behind.

within moments, Hamelis was lying on her tummy with her two friends lying on her. Rizan looked at her P.I.C. before gasping in fear, "Wha?! Hamelis! Shyranrya! I have a message from someone!", she yelped, unsure of whether to read it or not.

Hamelis was scratching her claw on her head, pondering on who of the few that have knowledge that she has a P.I.C. would contact her, "Hmm...answer it. Those who know about your P.I.C. are those who are helpful so far."

Shyranrya nodded in agreement, rubbing Hamelis's sides and making her giggle lightly. Rizan smiled and decided to go with the advice. She opened the message and read it before gasping again, the sender of the message even more surprising than the message its self.

The gasp stopped the fun between Hamelis and Shyranrya, their attention now at her as Hamelis lowered her head to Rizan, "What?! Is it from N.D.?!", she asked, trying to keep her cool. Rizan looked up and shook her head.

Shyranrya got up and looked over to her P.I.C. and her eyes widened as well, "Whoa...why would he contact us?! Unless he has something planned that could hurt us. It's all his fault that Eurasia is gone!", she shouted, grinding her teeth and smoke coming out of her nostrils.

Upon hearing that, she already knew who it was. Something like this was very bad, their enemy had contacted them at a very critical time. However, just thinking about it would not help anything, "Well, what does it say Rizzy? Is it something to threaten us?"

The P.I.C. in Rizan's hand was put away, her face turning into a slight smile, "Well...its from Aisarue..but its actually good news!", she exclaimed, giving her two friends a bit smile from cheek to cheek. The two were dumbfounded as to how there can be good news from Aisarue, but they waited to see if she had more to say. She stood up and looked around, "The message basically says that hes coming over to discuss Eurasia's return to us."

  • 2 days later

Zero and DarkStar both trained together, in hopes of finding new techniques together that would help them withstand the coming onslaught in about 24 hours. The two have managed to discover new techniques individually, but what they both needed were techniques that took advantage of both their elements. So far, no progress was made up to this point which was really bad for them both.

With their last day finally ended, they proceeded out of the training room together and headed to Abu's room. He was finally fully healed, but he remained in his room for the past few days to think up a plan against N.D.. Since it was the last day, they decided to pay a visit to Abu for a last minute

"...his style seems unbeatable...unless I find a way to get past that damn ability, every attack will just be worthless. This war will be a futile effort--huh?", but Abu's thoughts were cut short as he heard his door open. Zero gave him a big smile as he waved in, while DarkStar just nodded in his direction.

Abu's room was very different from others, as he had his own lab with his room. Research was done often here, also where many different inventions turned up. The three sat beside his work table, and thought about what the future may hold for them.

The mood was very grim between them, before Zero broke the silence, "So...Abu. What did you find out about N.D., or any words of advice you could give us before the big day? You know we are going to need it...especially of what he is capable of. You know what they told us in class...they say hes a god."

The topic was not a good one, lacking in positive thinking. DarkStar slammed his hands on the table, surprising the other two with him, "Damn it Zero! Stop talking like that! We will defeat him! We just...have to find the right method.", said DarkStar, getting annoyed by Zero's choice of words. Abu looked down at his fingers and twittled with them for a bit until coming to a conclusion.

"Guys, What you need to focus on is working as a team. Besides, I already have one back up plan while you guys are out there battling. Plus, I have a backup plan for the backup in case that fails as well. Its something that I found out while in the archives, something that was hidden away for a long time...."

Now seeing that his plans were something to think about, it just gnawed away at Zero's curiosity. However, he knew that there was no way he could find out anything until tomorrow. Everything that Abu researched on was always a secret, which is how he preferred it. They spent the night to talk about their plan of attack, before going to rest for the battle ahead.

  • The next day

Back on Bloodheart, N.D, Abyssion and Omega were ready to commence the assault on D.O.O.P.. However, Aisarue was no where to be found, which worried Abyssion and angered N.D. Omega didn't care but N.D. was starting to get suspicious of him, "Hmm...our friend seems to have wondered someplace. I wonder where he--well, there he is.", he said as a warp hole opened to the left of them.

Out from the portal arrived Aisarue, looking a bit exhausted but with the same smirk that he had retained since joining up with them. As his eyes met N.D.'s, he felt a cold chill run down his back, "Oh..sorry about that my lord. I had to make sure of something to confirm our victory against the dragoons. I have news of something that might interest you.", he said with a very confident tone.

N.D. however did not seemed pleased at all, "News?...what could you know that I possibly do not? I'd have better be good news...", he exclaimed with a bitter and angry tone. Aisarue nodded and took out a photograph from his pocket to show to him. The picture turned out to be a photograph of blueprints, blueprints to something that N.D. knew full well, "I see...well this is not going to interfere with anything. Even with that in their possession, it wont stop us. I also have a little surprise for the dragoons tomorrow...a welcoming party so to say. They will be greeting the dragoons when the battle begins...", said N.D.

-

The dragoons were getting ready for battle, as the time for the decisive battle was only minutes away. Stanis awaited at the largest exit of D.O.O.P., looking down to the land below, "There it is... Myristyl. The land of dreams and prosperity, where dragons and humans were 100 percent in tune with each other. Until that day where "he" came and ruined everything...This time, we will end N.D.'s life and bring peace to dragons everywhere. ", he thought, seeing the once beautiful land now nothing but wasteland. He heard the steps of the dragoons behind him, all marching single file.

Noct and Firon were leading them, before giving a salute to their leader Stanis. Zero took command of the Wind elemental dragoons, while DarkStar took command of the Ice dragoons. DarkStar however was convinced that they would only slow him down, but he did it only because his friends urged him to. Soon, every dragoon was standing at the platform that lead to the ground below.

Stanis gave the signal, which lead every dragoon to shout, "FOR THE DRAGONS! FOR THE HUMANS! FOR LIFE, HONOR AND D.O.O.P!.", before they all jumped down in free fall. During the high drop, every dragoon powered up their spirits and emitted an energy so powerful, that N.D. himself felt it.

The dragoons looked down at the ground, expecting to land in wide open area. However, the desolate wasteland below soon turned pitch black, Noct gasping in awe, "No...its the Jadow! They have been awakened from their slumber! DRAGOONS, BE WARY!", he shouted, giving he signal to attack.
