The world where no light is possible, or anything to escape its deadly hold. It is a place were evil takes form and the creatures of darkness come back after being slain. That is the Dark Galaxy...where my kind reside.

Date - October 26, 2055

Location - Vanaxxis Castle, Grand Hall

Time - 11:31 am

Rizan was down on her knee, holding tight her burned foot. It stung but it wasn't too painful, but the real shock was how she was trying to heal it and nothing was working. She was seeing that N.D. might be too much for Eurasia still, their battle leaning in N.D.'s favor. As she was got up, she saw him keeping his distance and then noticed something on his brown hair. A red dot, and her dragon eyes were able to see a line of red light trailing all the way to the ceiling, "What?! Eurasia! Get down!", she yelled, ignoring the pain of her foot to lunge at him.

Michael turned around and heard the loudest bang hes heard, "Whoooooa!", he shouted as a huge bolt of lightning smashed through the ceiling's glass, blowing him, Rizan away while N.D. covered his eyes from the debris and gust of wind caused by the interfering pile of electrons, "Whats this?...Ah...hes finally shown his face. Seems dragoons come to me like flies to the slaughter."

The sniper up top growled as her shot barely grazed him, not expecting lightning anywhere and especially to strike so close. Her scope was focused though the ruined room, seeing her targets still in sight, but now having two new figures appear within the lightning. One of them she knew, the other she had no idea....yet. However the sudden shock made her realize that someone else she had overlooked had been there, "Ah...so hes there...he'd be quite useful to us. Though I'd better hurry, theres barely 10 minutes left until the charges go off.", she thought, packing away her weapon and jumping off the side of the building.

Both Rizan and Michael crashed into each other from the blast, Michael feeling a bit dizzy from the experience but Rizan liking it. Shyranrya quickly took out her wings and covered herself and Desiree, though she knew that saving this one wasn't necessary from the broken glass falling right at them. Rizan wanted to keep Eurasia in her arms, though there was no time for that she thought, quickly wiping the glass off of her favorite human and helping him up, "Whoa...that was some ride...though who is that?", she asked, looking at two people in front of her where the lightning striked.

One of them was wearing a green uniform with a big bunny head outline in pink on the back and black shoes, as well as spiky green hair. The other was wearing a purple t-shirt with blue jeans. Michael recognized both of their energy signatures, giving a sigh of relief as now things might go in their favor, "Zero! Where the heck have you been? I've been look'in all over for you! You too Falcon!", he said as he called out to them.

Rizan and Shyranrya knew those names as well, surprised to see Eurasia's friends suddenly come crashing down from the ceiling. Zero looked back, though looking a bit older than what he remembered and gave a thumbs up, "Heh, I've been busy...and the name's not Zero anymore dude, its Ruru. We're not dragoons anymore the last time I checked...so theres no need to keep the names we were given.", he said while smirking. Falcon however didn't respond back, electricity crackling all over his body.

Michael felt the power coming from Falcon, the lightning purple and dark as N.D. was being stared down with malice so strong he could practically taste it, "Glad to see you're still doing well Falcon...now since you've betrayed me, I want back what you owe. You don't need it since you've ruined the terms of the contract.", said N.D. to Falcon, opening his hand at him with a smirk. Zero just stood back and let Falcon handle things, not seeing a reason to interfere as he was told by him earlier to stay out of it.

Before everyone knew it, N.D. was blocking with his dragon buster a bolt of electricity that seemed to look like a falcon quickly vanished in a bright flash. The smile he had made Falcon even angrier, jumping back and firing a huge blast of lightning right at him. Again the lightning was sliced through and vanished without a trace, though N.D.'s expression turned serious after that last hit, "Hmm...seems you don't understand your place. I gave you that power and now I'm taking it back you ungrateful maggot.", jumping forward and grabbing Falcon's hand in an instant.

Falcon gave N.D. a shock that made him yell in pain, squeezing that hand and starting to make Falcon grunt in pain as his hand was being crushed until his power, "I-it can't be....grrr...even with this power...all this hatred, I still can't beat you?! DAMN YOU!", screamed Falcon, letting loose a huge amount of his electricity that a bolt of lightning covered them both. Everyone covered their eyes from the flash, except for Ruru who was thinking about what to do.

Watching the whole fight was the scientist Abu, his black lab coat all dirty and clutching his suitcase tightly. He was analyzing everything and saw no way they could win, "Its Eurasia...hes finally came back. But it seems the gap in their powers is still far too great...even with the time I've been with him, I haven't found a weak point. Best if you run away for now Mike...Brandon shouldn't have came here either...his lightning still isn't enough..."

He was safe hiding behind a broken pillar, thinking of getting back a bit more as there was a door close by but he knew N.D. would quickly find him no matter what. The closed door behind quietly began to open, someone's shadow visible. Abu was too focused on the battle and only turned back to shield his eyes from the flash. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his back and everything went black for him.

As everyone's eyes adjusted from the flash, they saw N.D. fully crushing Falcon's hand, followed by a loud shattering. Michael gasped in shock, jumping forward to try to help his friend, "NO! HIS DRAGOON SPIRIT...YOU BASTARD!", he cried, gathering a huge amount of fiery energy in his hand which N.D. barely managed to deflect with his hand. The explosion blew him back and he was caught by Rizan in midair with her wings fully open and hovering. Michael's eyes began to tear as he felt powerless, seeing his friend helpless and writhing in pain on the floor.

Ruru had enough, looking at his wrist to check the watch he was wearing then up to his friend in the arms of a trustworthy woman, "Mikey, better stay outta this. Falc-errm...Brandon said he doesn't want any interference. This is his fight.", explained Ruru, clearing up any reason why he hadn't stepped in already. Falcon wearily stood up, holding his broken and now bloody hand, "Thats right...I won't stop no matter what...I don't need the power he force fed me that night."

N.D. was impressed by his conviction, deciding a way to finish him off in a fashion that matched his strong spirit. He quickly grabbed him by the neck and had him choking and hitting at his arm in vain, "Well it seems that our time together has ended...as a reward for your services to me, I'll grant you a one way ticket to the Dark Galaxy Dimension!", shouted N.D. as suddenly a portal opened in front of both N.D. and Falcon, a black portal that crackled with an energy that made Rizan shiver.

The cold feeling caused her to fly back and put Michael down by Shyranrya, standing on one foot as the other was still burnt, "I can't believe it...I can't use my healing on this wound...now i feel scared...", she muttered, carefully putting a light amount of pressure on the other foot. Dahlia was unsure of what to do, looking at the portal and analyzing it, "H-he can't be serious...someone stop him! He'll never survive in there!", she shouted, tears coming out of her eyes as she did. Michael again lunged forward with his sword wanting to save his friend, only to be stopped by Ruru holding his arm out to not let him pass.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY! DON'T YOU CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR FRIEND?!", he screamed, the flames that was normally red started to change color, a bright blue hue started to overtake him. Ruru shook his head and saw Falcon's last breath as he was tossed through the portal, a deafening boom of thunder making everyone gasp as he was now gone. Michael pushed Ruru aside, and made N.D. block in surprised, not expecting such a fast and furious hit. Shyranrya and Rizan barely kept up with that speed as the ground was burned black behind him, "W-what power...don't let the hatred fuel your flames Eura...", thought Rizan, seeing N.D. being on the defensive for once as she followed the two zipping about on the floor and in the air.

Ruru sighed as he got back up, brushing off the dust from his outfit, "Typical...you still lack self control dude. Theres only 1 minute left...I wonder if Onari got what she was looking for?", he wondered, holding his arm straight out and opening his palm wide open. Wind gathered in his hand, a wind glowing yellow which quickly formed a bow. Like he was holding a bow and arrow, he pulled back and created an arrow made of pure wind, taking aim at N.D. who was moving at high speeds and barely evading Michael's attacks.

Then suddenly the two stopped, N.D. getting knocked to the floor with a cut shoulder and blood dripping from it but his sword still in his hand glowing bright. Seems he underestimated his opponent, wondering if it was worth the risk of unleashing his full power in a small area. Ruru was surprised and thought that he wasn't needed. Michael's power made the ground beneath him glow red, starting to melt as he held his cracked sword tightly, "Its over for you now!--Nngh...so...hot...", he grunted, his punch being stopped and ending up just standing still shivering. N.D. smirked at this moment and took advantage at his opponent being open, "You should know better than to not know the consequences of such a huge amount of power Eurasia!", he shouted as he got a clean slice down his chest.

Rizan screamed in shock as she saw the blood fly out in what seemed to be slow motion, Michael grunting in pain as his sword fell and the blood splattering out. Ruru grunted and pulled his arm back a bit more quickly and let the shot out while his friend was going down. N.D. looked up too slowly as the arrow went around Michael's body and split into 5 small points. Each point went for a different part of N.D.'s body, as if bullseyes were on them. Instantaneously, his arms, legs and head were shot through and he was sent back to the wall behind him,the dragon buster falling to the ground. The wind bow was dispelled and he glanced over in disbelief at his target down after just one shot, "T-thats it? It can't be that easy---what?! Crap its time!", paused Ruru, feeling the ground below them shake.

Shyranrya and Rizan jumped over and landed in front of Michael's body, seeing leaking out from the wound on his chest, "Thats a near fatal wound...barely missed his heart and lungs...but the blood has to be stopped!", she thought, knowing that he'd die soon if it wasn't stitched up. His sword was grabbed by Rizan while Shyranrya took care of his body as she gently picked him up and looked over to Rizan.

She could smell burning flesh, seeing a bit of smoke coming from his mouth as well as both of their wings were again open and ready to fly. Ruru blew out the roof completely with his wind, the debris being tossed into the city as a huge explosion rocked the area. Dahlia fell over as she realized what was going on, feeling the bottom levels crumble below her. Her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled into the air by Rizan, honestly not wanting to save her but she abided by Michael's wishes as she looked down at the ever shrinking Vanaxxis Castle. Ruru himself wasn't sure but his time ran out, everyone as flying nearly a thousand feet into the air to see Vanaxxis collapse and a cloud of dust enter the city.

"We should be far enough...lets go. We'll figure out what to do with this one after we tend to our wounds...", commanded Rizan, Shyranrya taking the P.I.C. from Michael's pocket and making the whole group of 5 vanish without a trace. Saint Falda was thrown into a state of chaos, the townsfolk all looking to call for help and find the ones responsible. After the dust settled, only one man arose from the ashes, laughing as he grabbed his weapon and looked into the air, "Hehe...a purification shot...if that had a true holy arrow i'd be in trouble...looks like the real fun has just begun. Eurasia, i'll do to you what I did to your father."

I've become independent! Those years at the college really paid off...though I still wonder what happened to that red-headed male who promised me he'd get me free. Well if I ever see him again, I'll sue him for not holding a promise!

Location - The Law Offices of Frin & Fran, Uptown Saint Falda

Time - 11:31 pm

The terror over the destruction Vanaxxis still lingered, construction workers having trouble getting all of the mess out. There were minimal causalities outside but the body count inside was still being tallied. On the other side of town, a certain someone was just getting ready to close the office for the night, wearing a red skirted suit with a white undershirt. Her blue scales reflected the moonlight through her office window, liking to make sure she was presentable in the courtroom. She yawned as she closed her briefcase and got off her chair before the phone rang, "Ugh...I'm too tired for this...if its not important, they can wait.", she thought as she looked over to the phone's caller I.D. and saw the name "Casey" on it.

Quickly she grabbed the phone with her tail and held it up to her ear, making an exception since she knew the name quite well, "Evening dear, whats going on? I'm just about to go over to the party to pick you up as you wanted."

"Sorry but it seems the party ended early. I need your help Frin.", said the voice on the phone, male and sounding quite serious.

Seems that things weren't gonna be smooth tonight as she thought, kissing goodbye to her jacuzzi night and massage from her partner Fran, "I see...whats the situation? I'll do whatever I can for you Casey."

"Well I'm at the detention center, and I only have 1 hour to find a good defense attorney since they're taking my case tomorrow. And honestly theres no one better than you. Not to mention who the prosecutor is tomorrow..."

There wasn't really anyone who gave her too much trouble in the courtroom, but someone popped into mind, a new guy who was getting a huge amount of praise for being a prodigy, "Don't tell me its the new flashy guy...hes new but he's already considered one of the best. Well fill out the paperwork, and I'll meet you there in the morning but tell me something about whats happening. I can't go into the courtroom without knowing whats gotten you into this mess."

"....I can't tell you just yet...but know this, the old man is dead. They think I did it since I was the last one to see him about 50 minutes ago. I don't need to tell you that I didn't do it, as "she" would never go out with me. I promise I'll tell you more tomorrow. Case starts at 9 am at the Judaical Hall, be sharp and wear your best suit."

Going without ammo was dangerous, but she knew she could rely on him to give him what she needed most, information, "Ok I'll wear the one thats shows my breasts quite well just for you and my ass. I'm counting on you to give me the truth Casey, good night."

The phone was put back on the receiver with her tail and she sat back down in her seat, "Well, no good amount of sleep for me tonight. Oh right, I was so busy today I nearly forgot about the news...", thought Frin, grabbing the paper on her slightly messy desk and opening it while pointing her desk light on it. The front page of the "Falda News" still had the Vanaxxis incident and its progress. As she turned the pages, reading through some useless stuff and the announcement of a new type of hotel in Hydion known as the "Heat Season Inn". Nothing really great until she turned to the last page, seeing the new wanted posters.

A few she had seen earlier before, not really having a big bounty but the newest pictures and bounty amounts got her surprised, "E-Eurasia?!....you're alive...and you haven't changed one bit. Well now that I know you're alright, I gotta pay you back for breaking that promise. If I don't, someone who wants that price on you may get to you first...50 Million Kash will attract quite the amount of people.", Frin thought as she wondered where he could be.

Chapter end.
