Black. Nothing but black. To my left black, to my right black, up, down. I knew I had died but where was I? Heaven? Hell? Purgatory? Grandpa's Basement, I didnt know. I slapped myself hard to see if I was dreaming but alas I was not. "Hello!" my voiced echoed in this empty vast dark. "HELLO!"
"Stop yelling we are right here!" a very masculine voice spoke.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
"Aw Vulcanus. Look what you did to the poor human you scared him." A feminine voice spoke.
"Trying to seduce him Unda?" A Sean Connery-like voice said.
"Enough enough. AZILIM!" the blackness lite up and I was in a fimiliar place, a black and white dragon apprached me with 7 other different colored dragons. "Welcome back Adrian. I am Azur."
I was caught by surprise, "What? The House of the Gods? WAIT Azur? your the one that..."
"Yes the one the Jeremy spoke of, we all know. And we have been watching you Adrian a fine human you are." Azur seemed intrigued.
"Uh...thanks?"
"You have something he wants too, thats why Jeremy killed you." the brown dragon spoke.
"Tellus is right. but I think introductions are in order. Once again I am Azur, Dragon God of Twilight." He stood proud and firm. His scales a mixture of black and white and his body very well built.
"I am Tellus, Dragon God of Earth." He had his arms crossed on hid brown and tan scales.
"Vulcanus, Dragon God of Fire." He seemed very angry for some reason but then again the red and orange scale kind of gave it away and about 99.99% of his body was all muscle.
"Unda, Dragon God of Water." for a dragoness she seemed very sexy with her sleek, smooth, baby blue scales.
Another dragoness appeared, "Lustrum, Dragon God of Forest." like Unda she was very slim as well but with light and dark shades of green.
Gusts of wind blew and swerled around and finally a male sliver dragon came out, "Calum, Dragon God of Sky."
A bolt of lightning shot from the ceiling and a male purple dragon appeared, "Fulgetra, Dragon God of Lightning."
A beam of light appeared out of no where and out came another male white dragon, "Ager, Dragon God of Light"
"And we make the 8 Dragon Gods." Azur spoke.
Noticing something a miss, "There are only 7 not 8. Whats the 8th?" I questioned
"He is a black dragon...Obscurum...'The Darkness'. A dark entity that is made of sin, violence, death, and evil."
I was doing a thousand yard stare into his eyes, this sounded all to far fetched and it seemed so sudden too. "So...was Jeremy Bain, The Darkness?"
Lustrum stepped forward, "No he is not but he is a vessel for Obscurum."
"What?"
Ager paced himself around the other dragons, "Look Adrian, The Darkness is a living creature, think of it as like a virus. A virus needs a host to survive right? Well it's using Bain to either find another more capable host or worse."
"And what is worse?" I dared asked.
Calum came up from behind me scaring the hell out of me and spoke in a high voice, "Worse is, Obscurum finding his original form. It's first form, a dragon."
"This thing was a dragon before?"
"Yes...his name then was Blitz." Azur looked at me seriously now. "10,000 years ago, my mate and I fought a bloody war against Blitz and his massive amount of power. He...he had killed 5 of my young but my mate, Rena had taken my last boy to safety on another world and encased him in crystal until the time was right." A tear came to his eye.
Wow, I thought to myself, this guy has been through more tragedy then Romeo and Juliet. Fulgetra spoke aloud, "If Obscurum finds the body of Blitz then your world will burn until it's surfaces is but fire and darkness."
Unda slowly walked toward me, "And thats why we pulled you from deaths grip. We need you Adrian."
"Why can't you come down and help us directly?" I wondered.
"Because Adrian...I am getting old and worn." Azur standing before me now. "You however will take my place and the Dragon God of Twilight. You will be able to control the Elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Forest, Sky, Lightning, Light and Dark."
"But...I'm human. I'm not a dragon, get Kiddo to be you." I suggested.
"No!" Azur seemed kind of jumpy at the suggestion. "No...he cannot. He has the title of King and thats already pressuring him enough."
"Uh...ok...sorry I said it." I backed off.
"No it's mine. Well now shall we begin?"
"Begin what?"
"The transformation from this body to another. You Adrian will become a full blooded dragon and have all my powers. Are you ready?" He asked I thought long and hard about the subject.
Me a dragon? the thought was heavy, it was either refuse and let my friends and Sasha be killed or accept and adapt. "Yes. I am ready for this." Azur nodded his head and the ritual began.
Azur waved his hands and said, "Come my fellow Gods, I will need your help." He finished and the other Dragon Gods gathered around him, extended their wings touching one anothers tips, bowed their heads and chanted in the same dragonic language as the Elders did at the ceromony. "Adrian, I give you the power of Twilight. You will be able to use all of the Elements of the Dragons. And should you fail in the task of destroying The Darkness, life will fail and all shall suffer."
"How will I be able to know how to use this power?" I asked.
"You will know, now be still for this is not an easy task."
I nodded. Azur began to chant along with them. I stood there not knowing what to do besides prepare for what was to come, their chanting grows louder. Feeling a little weird just standing there looking dump I was watching them do their chant when Unda yelled out something and held her arms out and palms up to me; a blue aura struck me and I felt a bit of pain. I thought to myself 'what the hell?' then Tellus did the same with a tan aura and some more pain. "Ok...uh hu hu whats going on?" They didn't answer. The others followed down one-by-one, Vulcanus, Lustrum, Calum, Filgetra, and Ager; all with more and more pain. It was excrusiating and I collapsed to the floor inside their circle of power and pain. I started to scream and felt my body grow larger and more muscular, taller, and felt alien to me. "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO ME?!" I screamed bloody murder.
Azur looked down at me and said, "Say hello to my son for me will you." He extended his wings and arms and let out a roar.
"Who's your son? Ah...AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" One last exlposion of pain shot through me like a .50 cal penetrating a hundred layers of jelleton, and then a white flash blinded me and the floor beneth me faded.

Sasha was on her knees crying her heart and soul out staring into Adrian dead white eyes. Jeremy had left soon after he had dropped Adrian. Gun standing behind her trying to comfort her but obviously nothing worked, she even began to cry a little as she lifted her hand to the mic in her ear, "DragonZ we've completed the objective and we got a K.I.A.... Adrian Raines. I repeat Adrian is dead over"
"Fox here relaying from Kiddo, Im on my way...FUCK!" Fox's mic hissed static, he had thrown the mic to the ground in a fit of rage.
"Copy over and out. Sasha...I...I'm so so sorry" Gun reasuring her.
"No it's not Gun! You don't understand Adrian as I did! All you did was put him down and tried to push him away from me just like all the others I tried to get close with!" She paused and thought about what she had just said. "Gun I'm sorry..."
"No...your right Sasha I have been doing that and I don't want to see you hurt. Adrian is a good man even though he is human but a good man. Forgive me." She hugged Sasha close and Sasha gave in and bursted out tears of sadness once again.
Sasha stopped crying and gazed at the hill ahead of them, "It's the others." she pointed out.
"Oh yeah I see them...why are they running?" Gun asked.
"GET TO COVER!!! GO FUCKING GO!!!" Wolf screamed at the top of his lungs. He, Fox, Falco, Kelsey, Draco, and Kiddo rushed to the wreacked artillery base, running for their lives from a battalion of Dinos.
"SASHA COME ON!" Gun grabbed her arm and ran for the base along with everyone else. Now hung up inside, running low on ammo, Adrian dead, the Soul Calibur down, all while trying to fight of a massive wave of Dinos.
"DRACO TO THE RIGHT!" Fox shouted as 6 Dinos tried to flank.
"GOT IT!" Draco took in a deep breath and threw a scorching ball of fire at them, seeing how he doesn't know how to use a gun.
"I'm out!" Kelsey yelled.
"Last one make it count!" Falco passed a mag to her.
"Aw fuck! BEHEMOTH!" Draco yelled. On the top of the hill stood a titan of a dinosaur, it stood at least 20 ft. tall and held together by rusted chains and pieces of metal patched on in different places and it's screached like a siren from hell.
"What the fuck?! How do we kill that thing?!" Kiddo asked and to have silence from Draco as a answer. "Well how?" Draco looked at Kelsey and Kelsey to Draco. "Don't tell me that."
"I'm sorry my lord. We can't kill it, I have tried everything to bring it down but nothing." Draco said regretably.
"So this is it then? We die here." Gun seemed pretty calm.
"TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE! I WILL GO DOWN FIGHTING AND GLORIOUSLY!" Wolf was ready to die, he has no regrets. Everyone else joined in and emptied their clips on the horde of Dino's.
"This is it!" Sasha yelled. At that moment the Dino's stopped their approach and looked up to the sky. "COME ON! KILL US! FUCKIN.." Gun put her hand gently on Sasha's shoulder. "WHAT?!"
Gun pointed to the sky and Draco whispered, "By the Gods...could it be?" "Could what be?" Kiddo asked. "The Dragon Lore...it's coming true."
Kelsey said still staring into the sky. ''WHAT? IS SOMEONE GOING TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"
"My lord...the Dragon God of Twilight has returned." Draco whispered again. Kiddo joined in at what everyone was staring at and his eyes widened in awe. A giant ball of white and black fire was falling from the sky. Draco and Kelsey knelt down and began to pray to the Dragon Gods for listening to their plee, the ball was about 50 ft from the ground now and slowing down. The fire dissappered and revealed a 7 ft tall crystal. Finally the crystal touched down in the middle of the Dino horde and opened up with a bright light blinding the Dino's. Wings expanded out of the crystal of shades of black and white and then a head rose from it to looking out at the field with eyes closed. One of the Dino's moved in closer to see what it was but then its eyes of the creature inside shot open and the crystal shattered into millions of peices, some of which punctured deeply in the curious dino's body. Finally they could see the creature, Draco was right it was the a dragon with black and white scales. It stood 7 feet 9 inches tall, larger than any other dragon, and looked like it weighed 250 pounds but most of it muscles. It took one step forward and breathed in a deep breath and roared loudly into the air, upon which the Dino's open fired on the dragon. Smoke from the muzzles of their guns filled the air quickly,
"Oh shit!" Fox yelled.
"A dragon god huh?" Falco questioned Draco and Kelsey's belief. Draco turned to them in anger
"Look...." Kiddo pointed, his hand shaking. The dragon emerged through the dust untouched, without a scratch. It took in another deep breath and exhaled, instead of a roar it was a beam of mixed white and black color that insinerated the Dino's. The Behemoth charged at the dragon and knocked him down, but it quickly got up and rushed at the Behemoth's left foot chain. Grabbing on to the chain he pulled hard on it making the clumsy Behemoth fall to the ground hard. Then he ran up the Behemoth as it got up and lached on. The Behemoth tried hard to shake off the dragon but the dragon kept climbing toward its head, the dragons jaws opened wide and closed tightly around the neck of the Behemoth. Blood flowed out of it like a never ending waterfall, finally the dragon let go, stood up, curb stomped the head, and roared high into the sky with his wings pointed upward.
The gang crawled out of the wreacked base and gazed upon the dragon, and the dragon gazed upon on of the gang, Sasha. The dragon climbed off the Behemoth and its black and white scales on his body and tail turned to light blue and dark blue hair grew from the top of his head all the way down to the tip of his tail, and his horns grey and his eyes turned from black on white to a fimiliar brown. Sasha stepped forward and looked at the eyes, "Thank you for saving us..." The dragon did not answer, "uh I'm obviously not from here and...I'm not sure how to thank you properly so..." she knelt down before the dragon and the dragon knelt down with her.
Sasha seemed confused then looked into the dragons eyes again and whispered, "Wait....Adrian? Is....is that you?" The dragon seemed to smile as she said it, he inched forward and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"HEY! DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" Gun ran toward them.
"GUN!" Gun stopped and stared with her jaw open in shock, "Would you give me a break?! Shit! I leave for a few minutes and I find everyone just sitting in a building waiting to die. Dam."
"Adrian!" Sasha hugged him tightly around his now extended neck she began to cry tears of joy, "Your back!"
"Shh shh shh...it's ok Sasha...I'm back now. I told you nothing was going to separate us." I spoke.
