**Date - 19 months after D.O.O.P.'s fall, November 3rd.
Location - Paradise Dimension, City of Urtopia.
Time - 3:15 p.m.**
Things were in an uproar, as dragons and humans were bickering over the situation with the dragon population. Blame being placed on the dragons by the humans for putting them in danger, while the dragons blamed the humans for their response on wanting help. Many dimensions already fell pray to N.D.'s hoard of Jadow, with little resistance. Dragonic magic did no seem to effect him in least, his dragon buster sword able to dispel anything they throw at him.
The city was cut in half and in ruins, one side having humans and the other side dragons at a stand off. Only two people stood in the middle of the groups, representatives for each side. A man of about 30 years of age, brown haired and dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans. A bit raggedy but wearable he thought. The dragon's representative was a massive dragons of 40 feet in length, shimmering gray scales and pure black eyes.
"We'll all be killed! You dragons go away and never return! N.D. said he'll kill anyone aiding dragons! You tell'em to scram!", shouted someone in the humans group, then bringing every human into an uproar.
The dragons were not very happy with how things were going, frustrated on what to do with their former allies. The human representative looked back and ran into the crowd, "Who said that?! Answer me!", he shouted, looking to see a man around his age step up with a smile.
That smile was taken away quickly as he was punched furiously and fell to ground with several teeth missing. He was then whimpering on the floor, bleeding from the hit while looking up to him, "I'll tell you this, NEVER under any circumstances speak out badly of our dragon allies without good reason. You'll let me handle this you got that? Ace Wellington does things the right way."
Wiping the blood off of his fist, he walked back to where he stood before while everyone quickly became silent. The dragon chuckled, in a booming low voice, "Haha...your people skills are always amusing to watch. Ace, do you believe that exiling us will really bring you happiness and security? Throwing away the special bond we shared between each other for hundreds of thousands of years?", he asked, lifting his head to see the sad, and angry faces of his dragon brothers.
Ace took a seat on the ground and rubbed his head in confusion, "Ugh..I honestly do not know what to do Gelios. I myself would gladly help to defend you, and many others I know. But, there are the few selfish ones whom only care of their own well-being without thinking of how you must feel. Being hunted down by that demon...its crime above all crimes.", replied Ace, his heart feeling heavy with what he had to decide.
With things at a standstill, things seemed to favor the human's choice on the matter. Ace wanted to find the right method that would please both parties, but nothing came to mind. The sound of wings flapped perked Ace's attention, as a dragon in the sky dive bombed into the area, then stopping just short of the ground and blowing dust into the air.
A nice landing between Ace and Gelios, the wings retracting and the dragon facing Gelios. Upon a close up view. Ace estimated the dragon to be around 20 feet in length and having grey scales of a darker hue than what Gelios had. Before he could question this new dragon, someone called out to him.
"Dad! Wait a second!", shouted a female voice from a top the dragon, sliding down and its tail. A young woman who Ace recognized as his daughter was very surprised to see her here, dressed in a sapphire blue dress with sapphires sewed in the fabric. Ace ran up to her and hugged her tight, picking her up and twirling her around.
One of the people on the human side began to mutter something, "Hey, Isn't that Ace's daughter? Tracey Wellington, the 23 year old goddess...damn she has an ass that could tame anyone! Did you shes still a virgin...", said a man in the crowd, only to have a friend of his push him sightly.
"Shut up man! If Ace would've heard that, he would've killed you. He cares deeply for his daughter and doesn't let any man touch her. Even men who talk about her get a beating", he warned, turning his attention back to the scene at hand.
Gelios eye's widened, then his mood changed dramatically as this new dragon landed from frustrated to angry, "Grr...what are you doing here Remiel? I told you to never show your scales to me again. You've already caused enough trouble for me.", he growled, sounding very threatening.
Remiel eyed him back, not budging one bit nor flinching at all, "Oh well deal with it dad. I'm here on special business, not for you. So get over it and relax until I have to leave!"
Ace heard what they said to each other and quickly put down his daughter, "Wait a gosh darn second Gelios, isn't that your son? How could you say that to your own son?! Remiel, what did you do to your father to have him talk to you like that?", he shouted, not happy either at how he was treating his son.
Tracey could not stand to hear this, running past her father and holding on to Remiel's leg, "Leave him alone! Both of you!", she shouted, the crowds from both sides talking amongst each other on this new development. No one really knew what to do about this, not knowing what was happening.
The thing that made Ace confused was how his daughter was hugging Remiel, and how Remiel gave a very warm smile at her, followed by a nuzzle. He had to find out what was going on, as it was his duty as a father, "Tracey...why are you hugging him like that...and why is he...wait don't tell me that you.."
"Yes dad! I love him...I came here to tell you that me and him are going away...and to say good bye. I can't stand how everyone is treating each other! It's not right what everyone wants to do! Dragons have always been there for us, and wanting to push them away would make us ungrateful!", Tracey said, cutting off her father and giving Remiel a kiss on his large snout. The blushing on Remiel's face was more proof of the love between them.
The human side was suddenly engulfed in argument over their actions and beginning to fight amongst each other. People were shouting, "Well they are going to get us killed! I don't want to die!", to ,"What are we going to do?! We can't go through with this...they've helped up for so many years..we can't betray the trust we've formed!", all shouting at each other.
A love unknown to the father was not easy to take, Ace trying keep as steady as possible. Remiel took a deep breath, then turning his attention at Ace, "We do not want to be part of this conflict. We just want to settle somewhere peaceful...and I will protect her with my life Ace. Shes everything to me..."
Tracey blushed hearing that, hugging her love once more. Ace honestly did not want to give her up, wanting to know why she chose him. As he made his way to her, a gunshot was heard, followed by the shriek of a woman. Ace looked around quickly to find out who was shot, but the woman was closer than he realized. Remiel gave out an ear shattering roar which knocked Ace to his knees.
There were gasps all around as everyone's eyes were focused on the fallen Tracey. Everyone rushed to her aid, yelling in horror at what had just happened.
"Oh my god! Tracey's been shot!"
"Who fired that!? Find the gunman!"
"Get a doctor quickly! She's been shot in the head!"
"TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEY!"

Away from the loud troubles caused by N.D., there a place where he could not reach. In fact, he did not even know of such a dimension existed. It was the perfect place to start a new life, even if they did not want to. It was a grassy plane where a forest could be seen to the south, but a desert lie way to the north.
Two shacks were made close to the forest, since it was a good place for not only wood, but food and water could be found within. One shack was nearly twice the size of the other, but it was empty at this time.
"Hamelis! Shyranrya! Are you two around? It's nearly dinner time!", shouted someone from within the shack. The voice was feminine and very soothing, then suddenly a red dragoness peeked her head outside of the little shack. Her snout sniffed the air a bit, trying to sniff out someone or something.
Right outside at the forest's edge, there was another dragoness cutting wood with a rather large axe. Her scales a shimmering black with white stripes while she worked in a grey skirt and a black bra. After chopping in half another piece of wood, she put her axe down to rest for a bit. At the corner of her eye, she spotted her good friend and waved at her, "Rizzy! I'm just about done with the wood chopping. We'll be able to make more houses for the other dragons when they come by. I just hope that...we'll be able to move on..."
Rizan ran over to Shyranrya, wearing her favorite orange loincloth with a shortened blouse. The two hugged tightly, then looked towards the blue sky. After a few moments of enjoying the view, Rizan remembered why she came out, "Oh! Now I remember. Shyranrya, have you see Hamelis? It's nearly time to eat, and I haven't seen her all day.", she asked, feeling worried about where she's been all day.
"Oh, she's been flying around and exploring this new place. The plan was to relocate every dragon here to protect them...but we haven't found anyone else yet. The P.I.C. has instructions stating that we should never leave this place ever...but I have to see how things are going back in my home. Hamelis was talking about checking out her home to make sure things are going by well, and to ensure that her friends are safe. I was thinking the same too, and you might want to do the same.", said Shyranrya, petting her and ruffling her hair.
Thinking back to what she left behind, she sighed in disappointment, "No...there is nothing back home for me. Now I don't even have someone to look forward to anymore...why did you have to leave us?! You promised that everything will be alright!", she cried, her heart still heavy over what happened.
Shyranrya should've known better than to have reminded Rizzy of her past. Her story was very harsh on her, being one of the last few from her homeland. Like her, she felt sadness over Eurasia's last words forever burned into her mind, "Rizan..I know how you feel..he did everything he could to make sure that we could have a future. We have to remain strong, and maybe he did survive and is trying to find his way back to us. You'll wait for him with me and Hamelis right?"
Rizan's tears dripped down her snout, still sniffling, "Yes..I'll wait for him. Along with the return of his friends. We can wait a long time..seeing how we'll live a very long time. If I don't see him in this lifetime, I can scold him in the afterlife for forcing us to leave his side."
Her tears were wiped off by Shyranrya, "Well, you and me both. I'm still angry that he sent us away...but how about we get to fixing up dinner? Hamelis should be home soon and we need to make enough food for her large hunger!", she joked, patting Rizan on the back, grabbing her axe and making her way back to the shack.
"All I can remember is that smile, your voice never forgotten...Your words echo and never go unheard. You promised to return to us, and I'll wait... Beneath the winter skies and under the summer trees I shall call out your name...Eurasia.", mutter Rizan, looking into the sky once more before following her close friend back to the shack.

**Date - Same
Location - Unknown Location in former Mystril. N.D.'s stronghold.
Time - 6:01 pm**
"Excellent! Things are going exactly as planned. My Jadow army has been proceeding through every dimension and bringing me the heads of every dragon. Being immune to dragonic magic really helps as well, plus the dragons can't handle their huge numbers all at once. At this rate, I'll have every dimension conquered in a matter of years!", laughed N.D., standing before his followers Abyssion and Omega who were kneeling before him.
They have been following his command ever since they destroyed D.O.O.P. and the dragoons, remaining loyal to him. Omega stood up and began his report, "Of course my lord. Also, the restoration of Mystril is almost complete. I did what you said by making the land fertile for life. I did not think I could do that with my powers...but it worked. Once the land has be terraformed, then Abyssion will unlock the lock that prevents entrance into Mystril, so it will be populated soon enough after the lock is shut off. Isn't that right Abyssion?", asked Omega, giving him a pat on the back.
Abyssion gave a nod, and proceeded to walk out without saying a word. Omega's eye brow went up in confusion, "Huh? Whats up with him? Hes always a party pooper. Hes been like that ever since we took out the dragoons. Do you think hes feeling down for his brother being killed?"
N.D. was puzzled too, but he did not pay it any mind as he had faith in his loyal follower, "I wouldn't worry about him Omega. He'll be back to himself in no time. Now, when the proper amount of inhabitants come, I will commence my next plan to crack the Zoan gene. Project Zoan...time to bring you back.."
