#13 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 them, this story wouldnt have happened. Also, all characters here are copyright of Eurasia21xx. Do not use in your stories without consulting me first or I will come over there and kill you myself! :P So keep that in mind and enjoy.

As all the dragoon outside fought, inside of D.O.O.P. was completely empty. Stains remained behind in his room and monitored the situation. Unknown to him however, a portal opened in the Grand Transdimensional Gateway. Two figures, one taller than the the other sneaked in silently through the darkened halls, their steps echoing through the dead silent base.

"I can't believe that we just did that...but it was worth it. Remember the plan!", shouted Rizan to Shyranrya, running ahead of her. Shyranrya stumbled behind her, but trying to remain the shadows. She was still in the same black dress from earlier, but for running it was not the best choice, as her long legs keep tripping over the fabric. It did not take long before she got sick of it and decided to take care of the problem.

With a low growl, she tore the bottom half of the lower part which made the long dress into a skirt, "Grrr...now is not the time for mistakes.", she snorted, tossing the piece of fabric into the air and burning it to ashes. They quickly continued running, before coming to a 4 way

intersection. Shyranrya reached into her pocket and pulled out a silver Advanced P.I.C., and pulled up the holographic touch screen, "Alright...according to the map he gave us, we must turn left! Remember, we have to pass by his room first to get his possessions Rizzy."

Rizan looked over nodded before bolting over to the left, the two dragonesses running as fast as they can to reach their destination. It did not take long until the two reached a small room with the letters, "21xx", on the top. Rizan tried to open the door, but it seemed to be locked as she pressed against it, "Hurr...its locked. Guess we gotta get a bit noisy.", she muttered before whipping her tail against the door and knocking it down.

It was pitch black in the room, swallowed since by the shadows since the bright fire that kept it lit was now gone. Shyranrya breathed in and made a small flare of flame come out her maw, but kept the flame constant as to light their way. The red hue from her flame revealed that the room only contained a bed with no sheets on it.

This confirmed what they were told earlier as Rizan looked around and picked up the bed without any effort. She had expected to find something, but a frown formed on her face as she saw nothing. However, she remembered that Eurasia said it was hidden so that it would not be stolen away from him, "Alright...Eurasia, knowing you...you would hide it where no one would expect. Where could that be?", she thought before noticing that the light from Shyranrya's flame started to dim.

It seems that something caught her eyes, but she was unable to speak since her throat was full of her flames. She gestured to Rizan to come over while she pointed to something on the wall, something that stood out from the rest of the room. To her surprise, the lights suddenly came on, "Eep!", she yelped, falling on her behind and losing the focus of her flame.

Turns out that Rizan had found the light switch and turned it on. She heard laughing before being picked up, "Haha! That was funny. I hope you are alright Shyranrya. I didn't mean to startle you, but having the lights on makes it easier to communicate. Don't you think so?"

Even under pressure, Rizan kept that same smile and cheery attitude that Shyranrya adores. She took her claw and giggled as well, "Heh, I understand Rizzy. Not being able to talk stinks..but anyway, look at this!"

She placed her claw on the wall over a what seemed to be an imprint of a dragon's claw. However, there were two imprints of different sizes. The one Shyranrya had her claw on was about her size, but the other was smaller than her own. Rizan saw this and quickly placed her claw on it. The wall suddenly glowed with a red light, similar to the color that Eurasia's dragoon spirit emitted, getting brighter and brighter before becoming blinding.

The two dragonesses eeped in surprise, before the light faded to nothing. To their surprise, they were each holding the side of a rather large and old book. Shyranrya and Rizan were very pleased, having found what they were looking for.

With that part of their plan complete, Rizan held on to the book as Shyranrya lead the exit route. She again took out the Advanced P.I.C. and had a look at the map, "Hmm...remember, we have to do the final part of his plan to save all the dragons. I just hope that he'll be

alright...", she said in a low and worried tone before spotting the next route.

Rizan poked her in the tummy with her tail, getting her attention fully, "Don't worry, knowing Eurasia, I bet his plan will work. Just keep your spirits up and everything will be alright. Now, lead us on Shyranrya. We have to hurry to be ready when the signal is given."

Once again, Rizan kept the team's morale up, something that was needed in order to execute the strategy. The two dragonesses ran out of the room and down the darkened halls of D.O.O.P., before reaching their destination.

"Eurasia said we have to reach the Control Room for the Grand Transdimensional Gateway. We have to execute the program saved onto the P.I.C. when the signal is given. Upon doing this, it will send nearly every dragon to a safe haven away from N.D.. But, the limitations he said frighten me...that not every dragon will be saved. But, we have to do what we can in case of the worst possible outcome.", thought Rizan, before she suddenly saw Shyranrya stop.

The sudden pause in their sprinting confused her. It took Rizan a moment to gather her thoughts, before finally asking her friend, "Uh...why did we stop? Are we here already?", she asked with a baffled tone.

Shyranrya did not answer immediately, but said only two words, "We've been spotted!"

Down on the battlefield, the dragoons raged war against the Jadow. Noct was familiar with the Jadow, but many of the dragoons were not. As he slashed down three at once with his weapon of choice, a large Axe, he tried to remember what he knew on the Jadow. "The Jadow...the snake like creatures of old. The ones who caused the collapse of the great land of Prosperity.

Unaffected by all physical attacks except those filled with elemental energy. One main weakness would be the power of light, but there has not been a dragoon of light for centuries. Their scales are as black as their souls--? What?!", but his thoughts were cut off as he saw a Jadow enter the body of a fellow dragoon.

This was something that even he did not know, but there was no time to think about it. The dragoon was suddenly attacking other dragoons, yelling gibberish while striking everyone around him. The other dragoons were stunned on this, however they knew their duty was to protect each other. Without hesitation, Noct had no choice but to end the life of the controlled dragoon by cutting off his head with a single cut.

Slicing it with a frightening speed, the body fell limp and the blood poured out. Noct then took out his Yellow P.I.C. and made a very important announcement to all dragoons, "Dragoons! Do not hesitate to kill any Jadow here! Hesitation will cost you your mind and body to them!"

Noct quickly resumed battle, the sound of sword clashing and yelling overwhelming the area. Moments later, Noct felt something nearby which was making him uneasy. It was not until he saw a bolt of lightning strike the ground from far away. The size of the bolt was tremendous, dragoons and Jadow both being eradicated in an instant. Before he could even shout, more bolts of lightning of even bigger magnitude kept striking the land, screams being muffled out by the loud thundering.

It wasn't until Noct spotted the one responsible in the sky above, "Falcon...why is he here?! ", he growled before jumping into the sky, shattering the ground before him as he approached him. The Axe in his hands started to glow with his energy, ready to make him pay for the slaughtering of the dragoons on the battlefield.

Falcon did not respond as he turned his head slowly to see Noct coming towards him. He lifted his hand and charged it with pure lightning. Noct quickly stopped and noticed something very wrong with Falcon. This moment however made him lose his concentration as he lost sight of him. Unable to track him, he was hit from below from the jaw but at the same time, he felt the electricity grab his body.

The lightning around him manifested into a giant dragon and held him tight with it's claws while still sending millions of volts of electricity into him. The dragon roared a deafening boom of thunder, sending Noct into the air before falling back down towards the ground. Without

looking at the impact, Falcon turned away and spotted a spinning blade approaching him.

The blade looked to have sliced through him, but he vanished at the last second in a bolt of lightning. Zero flew in from the distance, catching the spinning blade in his hands as he looked around, "Phew...I thought that actually hit him. But it seems that he has grown much more powerful than last time. This won't be a cake walk like last time, so I'd better not hold back.", he thought, spinning his Tengu Sword while still searching for Falcon.

The sound of lightning traveling caught his ears, as he quickly turned around and managed to block a punch from Falcon. The amount of power in the hit was enormous, the force of the hit going though his body and out in a gust of wind. Zero held him there and looked at Falcon in the eye, "Falcon! What are you doing?! Why are you helping N.D.?!", he shouted, but saw no emotion in his expression or eyes.

Falcon remained silent, grabbing the sword and giving it a jolt of electricity. The shock made Zero yelp in pain, but it wasn't enough to fully restrain him as he tore off his Tengu and jumped back. Lightning was powerful indeed, so being too close was not an option for him. With a swirling vortex around him, Zero lunged at him with his Tengu in hand.

On the other side of the battle Field, DarkStar had run into Omega who had assaulted his entire squad and killed them all. The Jadow withdrew their attention from the two dragoons in their stand-off, so the area around them was clear. DarkStar wasn't bothered much by the lost of his comrades, but did want to make Omega pay for what he did.

The ground below him began to crumble, seeing that Omega started his attack already. He jumped up and froze the ground below him, patching the ground back together. Omega began to laugh as Darkstar landed, his powers allowing him to never lose in footing on ice, "Haha! I guess I couldn't take away the floor from under you. No matter, at least you are staying cool. I held back last time, but the Lord stated that all dragoons must be killed and dragons eliminated. No time for jokes this time", he said, digging his fingers into the hard rocky ground below him and pulled out a huge boulder.

Darkstar was not impressed, pulling out from his sheath his katana of ice, "Shut up. I don't give a damn whatever your master says. You are going to be stopped here and now. I will freeze you to the soul, then send you to hell."

Without responding back, Omega just chucked the rock at DarkStar. DarkStar stood firm as he swung his sword at the boulder and fired a large Icicle at it. As the Icicle and the Boulder collided, the Icicle entered the rock and froze it instantly. As the now frozen rock was about

to hit Darkstar, he stopped it with his hand , "Frost...bite.", said DarkStar, putting the ice covered rock in front of him. Omega's eyes grew wide, before he just started laughing his head off again.

The constant sound of his annoying laughter was getting on DarkStar's last nerves. Wanting to end it quickly, he jumped up and gave a swift punch to the iced rock. It shattered into hundreds of pieces, which did not fall to the ground but began floating in mid air. At first

they were little shards, but they began to combine together to make Icicles of larger size.

Before Omega knew, he was dodging an Icicle that almost hit him head on between the eyes. As DarkStar thought, the laughter had ended as Omega tried to regain his composure. It seems that the fight was only just starting, as DarkStar began launching more of the Icicles at him. Omega quickly dug into the ground and pulled out a rock in the shape of a sword, "Hes serious...guess I really have to start being serious as well. No matter...he won't get through my Element Sword."

Omega began to deflect the Icicles away from him, batting away each one effortlessly. It had seemed that the attack was useless, but however DarkStar did not falter. As each Icicle was hit away, it returned to float around him and was sent again. The attack ceased for a moment, before they started to come now in pairs of 3. Darkstar grinned as he started launched the Icicles much faster. Omega now having trouble hitting them, was starting to get annoyed.

As Omega swung at a group of 5 Icicles, the unthinkable happened as Darkstar shouted, "It's Over!". The Icicles ripped through the sword and impaled Omega in his shoulders, legs and waist. Darkstar controlled the Icicles so that they would pin him to the ground. The screams of pain ensured him that he scored a direct hit as he walked over to the squirming and twitching body.

The blood from Omega's body spread all over the cold ground before his body lay dead silent. DarkStar stopped a few steps before noticing something awkward, "What?..damn! He tricked me! Shuriken Blizzard Swarm!", he shouted, firing a flurry of ice Shurikens at Omega's body.

Before he knew it, the corpse of Omega turned into rock. DarkStar also noticed that the blood he saw from far away was nothing more than mud, "His Dirt Clone...and it was far more powerful than that last one I fought. To make it worse, I feel that Zero has run into trouble with Falcon. Let me hurry and keep him from dying..."

-

The fight between Falcon and Zero raged on, with Zero unable to touch Falcon. Every time Zero tried to strike, Falcon was able to dodge and counter back with his fists that gave a powerful shock along with a decent amount of physical force.

It started to become apparent that Zero's speed in the air could not match Falcon's. He was already exhausted from the battle, and Falcon had not even broken a sweat, "Huff....his speed. He moves at the speed of lightning even in the air...I can only move as fast as the wind can take me and thats nothing at all. Need a new tactic...wait! Thats it!"

Falcon was awaiting the next strike but saw Zero falling to the ground. This was something unexpected but it did not matter. Using his lightning speed, he instantly awaited Zero on the ground below, his fists clenched and bursting with current.

What Falcon saw was the Tengu buzzing at him before Zero landed. Expecting a direct hit, Falcon caught it with his bare hands and tossed to the ground. Upon doing this, he did not notice where Zero went, before feeling a painful hit from behind that made shout out in pain.

The force of the hit was shown as the ground in front of them broke apart, but Falcon did not budge an inch. This was something that Zero had not expected, but had no time to think about what to do next as he tried to jump back. Falcon however quickly turned around and grabbed him by the face.

Zero was lifted into the air and struggled to get free but the grip was strong and digging into his head. He knew what was coming next, and prepared himself as Falcon poured his electrical energy into him, "AHHHHHH!", was all he could shout as his body twitched in pain.

A smile on Falcon's face expressed his joy for Zero's pain, gradually increasing the voltage and watching him squirm. Torture is what he loved, but after a few minutes he got tired of hearing him scream so he tossed him aside. Seeing his body bounce before stopping gave him an extra feeling of joy as he prepared to finish him off. He punched towards Zero's body and released a dragon of pure lightning which would engulf him and end the fight.

"Not this time Falcon! SONIC BOOM!", shouted someone. A thin beam of pure energy flew over Zero and tore through the dragon. Falcon was very surprised to see his dragon destroyed, but what made him even more shocked was the person behind it.

The ex dragoon of fire, the one who stood in his way in the past but was now on the side of darkness rushed to Zero's aid. Zero opened his eyes slowly and saw someone helping him, "You son of a bitch...I knew you would come through. And don't worry, I'm not as hurt as you think..", he said, getting up with the help of his old friend.

Eurasia looked at him while grinning, "Of course! You didn't really think that I was on the side of Darkness. I'll explain everything later, but for now, I have a plan on how to beat Falcon. Use your strongest technique as I hold him off ok?", said Eurasia as he looked over to

Falcon.

The Tengu sword that was thrown away flew back to Zero's hand. He then started to spin it in his hand while the wind gathered around the Tengu, "Got it. Just give me two minutes to gather all the wind I need. This is something I worked up yesterday but I have only one shot, so lets not miss!"

A one shot deal was a bit risky, but it was something that should work. Eurasia then turned his attention on his former friend and held his sword tightly. The two fighters stared at each other before vanishing from sight. The battle resumed with Eurasia and Falcon, the two fighting each other with Eurasia trying to get a hit in with his sword, but Falcon kept knocking it away with his bare hands.

Bright flashes were everywhere their hits collided, along with every place the two stood, the ground shattered beneath then. Then Falcon put an intense amount of power into a hit that Eurasia blocked with his sword. This hit caused them to become stationary, trying to stare each other down.

It was at this moment that Eurasia noticed something about Falcon. There was something in his eyes that showed something was wrong, "Wait a second...you're being manipulated!", he shouted, pushing him back. He then heard a shout from behind, "Eurasia! Its ready! Get out of the way!"

The attack was finally ready, but he decided to add his own taste to the attack along with his friend's wind. As Falcon Lunged again, he stuck his sword into the ground and made a wall of fire to block him, "Fire Wall!", he shouted as Falcon pushed into it and trying to penetrate it. Eurasia jumped out of the way, "ZERO NOW!", he shouted as he jumped into the air.

With a wave of his Tengu, he fired a huge gust of wind but contained in a beam that fired into the firewall Eurasia had put up. The wind went right through the fire wall and actually absorbed the fire as it struck Falcon. The combination of fire and wind together, and a show of

their teamwork.

"Well, he beat the Clone, exactly as you said he would my lord. What is next?", asked Omega, kneeling on the ground. N.D. stood before him with his arms crossed. A portal was opened in front of them, crackling wildly before N.D. started to walk towards it.

"Begin Phase two.", was all that was said before he vanished into the portal. Omega laughed before he himself disappeared to commence the next part of the plan.
