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


Before this story starts, I would like to thank my good friend 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.

"Oh man! What the hell is all that on you Eurasia? Its all sticky and disgusting! Get cleaned off now!", Noct yelled at me as I entered through the portal, still having Frin's slobber on my body. I was a bit annoyed at the kind of greeting I got on my return back to D.O.O.P., but that didn't matter. I shrugged and ran towards my room to get washed up. On the way however, I noticed that I received stares from my comrades.

It made me think for a bit, but was not too important what the reason was.

I quickly entered the door and started to undress from my wet clothes until my P.I.C. started to beep. I picked it out from my pocket and looked at the message, "Hmmm?...Its here! Thanks Abu!", I shouted while jumping for joy. It was a message from my good friend Abu, and he had sent me a program that would upgrade my P.I.C. with the one thing that it lacks.

All P.I.C.s can teleport dragoons back home anytime, but it doesn't work the other way around. All teleportations from D.O.O.P. must be done at the Grand Transdimensional Gateway, but this new upgrade will change all of that. Now, I can teleport whenever I want. Along with the program upgrade, there was a message encrypted with it.

"Eurasia, here it is after almost five years of testing. I decided to give you the first working upgrade since you were the one who suggested it. Brilliant idea I must say, but be careful with it. It takes a bit accuracy to warp from D.O.O.P. rather than using the G.T.G. Also, don't forget; Meeting in the Room of Judgment. I don't know whats going on, but I cannot make it this time. As usual, the Head Engineer is too busy, since I'm working on a the next version of the P.I.C.; the Link P.I.C. . If I can make this newer version, It'll be the greatest thing ever. It'll have a holographic touch screen, a faster processing speed than the 346 ghz currently used and something else that I won't tell you yet. Well, enough of my babbling, you gotta get cleaned from what I heard. We'll talk later ok?, stay safe Eurasia."

This message was good stuff, as Abu was always inventing new stuff. I knew he was smart before we became dragoons, but I never expected him to make up this stuff. Its too bad that hes always busy though. With the message done, I put the order into my P.I.C. to install the upgrade while I bathed quickly. But before I bathed, I put some of Frin's saliva in a special container that would keep it vacuumed sealed.

It was put it away and I got cleaned up in a matter of minutes. After I came out in a towel and such, I walked over to the closet and looked for the suit I wore during graduation. It was the same one I wore earlier for the Expansion Shard ceremony, but it was still good enough. When I was about to grab it, a huge shock of pain when right through my body.

"Urg...what is...this pain!...", I thought to myself, as I fell to my knees. My breathing quickened as the pain got worse by the second. But then, as quickly as the pain came, it left my body. I was still panting like crazy, but my body felt normal again.

I got back up and was dumbfounded at what had happened to me, "Man...that pain was terrible. Never felt anything like that..."

The time on my wall indicated that I was about to be late, so I had no time to think about what had just happened. I slipped on my graduation uniform as well as my P.I.C. before getting a message on the loud speaker.

"Eurasia of cabin 21XX, get the Room of Judgment, NOW! That is your last warning to get to where you are needed!", was yelled from the loud speaker. I was starting to get irritated as to why I needed so badly. I ran out from my room and headed for the Room of Judgment.

Before I arrived, something was very weird in D.O.O.P. . No one was around at their posts, as if that every dragoon was summoned for this. I've never seen this before in my time here, when every dragoon was called out.

I felt an ominous feeling before entering the doors, something bad which gave me chills. Mutter could be heard from behind the door, along with banging. Without hesitation, I opened the doors to arrive in the room of Judgment, which was the biggest room in D.O.O.P. with every dragoon seated all around.

This room was about the size of an average stadium, but the center was much smaller with large table on top of a larger platform. In on the platform, many important figures were sitting by the table, as everyone watched me walk in. From what I could see, Stanis was sitting in the middle of table. On his sides, Nocturnophile, Firon, Zero, DarkStar were sitting. Falcon was tied up in a holding cell on the platform, glaring at me.

Upon a surveillance, every dragoon seemed to keep their eyes on me, as they started to boo at me. I felt even more confused as I walked up to the platform, in front of the table. I felt a tingle in my dragoon spirit, a chilling tingle that made me notice it. I was about to take a look at it before Stanis slammed his gavel on the table, bringing my attention to him.

"Eurasia! Pay attention!", he yelled, clearing his throat before sitting back down again. He started to point to another door in the room, faraway to the right, "Eurasia, when I say to look through that door, look. Now then, to the order of business as to why you are here. Tell me, do you remember your mission to dimension number 425463? I'm sure you do, since it was a big dozy of a mission."

That number only brought up two names in my mind, Abyssion and Rizan. I gave a curious glance to him, "Of course, that was when we found out that Abyssion is still alive. How can I not remember that mission?", I asked, since it was an obvious question.

My answer did not seem to please Stanis, as he pointed to the door, "Eurasia, you are half correct, which is bad. Dragoons are supposed to be truthful at all times. Now, look at what is coming for your lies!", he proclaimed, as the doors opened. I looked over and saw a covered cage being rolled over by a dragoon.

Questions entered my mind, from what he meant about my lying to what had just been pulled into the room. The gavel was slammed again to get my attention, "Eurasia, enough! As I was saying, you've been lying in all of your reports. What has gotten me baffled is how you reclaimed it back. It was supposed to have been stripped from you when you joined up, but somehow you got it back. But, we found out the cause of it and are ready to punish you."

My head shook in confusion, "Punish me? What are you talking about? "Reclaimed it back", you aren't making any sense.", I replied, still clueless on what the crime he had done.

He pointed to the covered cage, "Look over there and you will find your answer Eurasia. You have soiled the sacred rule of dragoons. You are just as you idiotic father, thats why he died a fool's death.", he said bluntly.

I felt something within me come out, "Father?! What do you know about my father?!, and what is in that cage?! Answer me!", I yelled, feeling my spirit tingle even more. He just smirked and gave the order to remove the cover from the cage.

"No!...", I tried to yell, but I was overcome with fear as I saw that my first love Rizan was in the cage. She was bound and gagged, looking at me while tears went down her face. I gave out a low growl as I glared back at Stanis, "Why...why did you do this to her?! ANSWER ME!", I shouted, my spirit starting to glow.

I didn't feel like waiting for a response, so I turned around and started to head for her, "I'm coming for you Riz--oof!", but before I would reach her, I received a swift punch to the stomach by DarkStar. At that moment, Zero was holding on to my back. I was hauled back to the front of the table, as my face was still full of anger and pain.

Stanis just looked back and slammed his gavel again, "You see? One of the many secrets that you have kept from your reports. Your..."involvement" with this dragoness. How you two mated and such goes beyond me. Its sickening, how you two would go over the line of species. She is the one who managed to give you back your freewill. That which was taken away after you graduated. You should know the name of the project, seeing how you hacked into our systems. I never expected that of you, especially you Eurasia. Next, is your involvement in dimension number 529480, where you first encountered Falcon for the first time. Once more, you failed to include what went on the first time and the second time you were there.", he said seriously, pointing to the door.

I was held tightly by my friends, as I looked to them, "Guys...why are you doing this? We are supposed to be friends...", I whispered to them, feeling betrayed on how they were against me. DarkStar only gave me a cold stare, gripping harder on me. Zero had a worried face, as if he did not want to do this to me but also tightened his grip.

I felt devastated as my own friends, friends who have been with me my whole life are now against me. I started to get angry, my spirit flashing a bit more as the doors opened again with another cage covered. It was a bit taller than the one with Rizan, but I was guessing who it was.

The gavel as slammed again, "Ok, as I was saying about your actions in dimension 529480. According to the information we got out from "her", you were a slave bought for sexual pleasure and for serving your master. On that day, you were attacked from behind and had your spirit knocked out of you. Your report told the truth up until you were bought by "her". You mentioned loosely that you were forced to do various chores for her but you once again failed to mention the more...sexual aspects of what went on. According to what we got from "her", you showered her and she tried to have her way with your body, but it didn't work the first time. Then when you went back to that dimension the second time, after Firon got injured, you went back to "her" and had yourselves a bit of fun. You poured quite a bit of power when you tried to save her from Falcon, but that is another story. Now point your attention to the next cage Eurasia, where another one of your shameful partners is!", he shouted, banging his gavel again.

The cloth was taken off and as expected, Shyranrya was under it. But, there was one difference from her appearance than Rizan's, "Shyranrya! What did they do to you!", I shouted, but it was in vain as she was out cold. She had many bruises on her white and black body. Even the areas with black on it, blood stains where on her body.

Stanis looked back with a very pleased at my reaction, "Heh...that bitch was very stubborn. We had to beat out the answers from her. But, that didn't work until we told her that you will be put to death if she didn't tell us what was needed. She immediately told us, just like the other bitch. They would prefer to put their own lives to save your own. Stupid...all of them.", he said in a dark and menacing voice.

My mind seemed to have shifted, as all I wanted to do was to tear my supposed leader for this. All rational thought seemed to escape from my mind, as my spirit which usually gave out a bright red glow started to darken to about a dark red.

The gavel was slammed again to draw attention to him, "Well, I see you are having fun there Eurasia. But we aren't done yet so you can relax. The next order of business was your involvement in the Paradise Dimension on that day. Your report consisted of you visiting, meeting a dragoness named Hamelis and taking a tour of the area with her. You had fun until you met up with a new DS Dragoon, Omega. According to the report, he is the dragoon of dark earth. You were lucky again that your friends came to help you, since you couldn't have beaten him alone. Then, after you healed by drinking "F.A.I.R.S."; First Aid Instant Recovery System. This is where you cut out a very important part of your day. If mating with two different dragonesses wasn't enough for you...you mated with Hamelis. That makes a total of two Anthro Dragonesses and the Non Anthro Hamelis. She was very rowdy to apprehend, since she is non anthro. Bring the next one in!", he ordered, slamming his gavel to show that he wants it done.

My eyes closed for a second, as I heard the doors open once more, with a very large covered cage. Hamelis was behind it, thats the only thing that my mind was telling me. The cover was taken off quickly, revealing Hamelis looking down to the floor. She was alright, and was not bound and gagged as Rizan was or hurt like Shyranrya was.

She looked up at me, starting to cry, "Eurasia! They took me away for being with you!...I didn't know that it was forbidden to mate with a dragoon. Why didn't you tell me?!", she sobbed.

I looked back at her in shame, "I didn't know either! Turns out that theres some rule against it that dragoons don't know. If I would've known, I wouldn't have put you in danger...you have to believe me.."

Her face turned away, not quite giving me an answer weither she forgave me or not. I never meant to put any of them in danger, had I known earlier.

The knock of the gavel brought me back to the matter at hand, "Eurasia! Must I bring you out of lala land every time one of those stupid creatures meets your view? We would've brought the dragoness named Frin, but she did not mate with you, so there was no need to bring her. Also, she would've been far too big to fit into headquarters. Now, we are not done yet, there is still a matter of your other crimes against D.O.O.P. . Not long after you had your way with that non anthro, you came back early and decided to hack our systems. You have learned too much information which normal dragoons must not know. Also, we want what your mother has given you when you were at home. Your father's diary, hand it over.", he ordered with a smirk.

It was that which broke me, as I felt all that was me vanish into nothing. My spirit finally accepted the transformation, from the bright red flame of justice, to the black heart of darkness. It gave out an evil chill as both Zero and DarkStar stared in horror as they witnessed this transformation first hand. In my mind, everything went black, as a new presence took over my body.

  • Note, the story now changes from First to Third, since I am no longer telling the story from my perspective.

Stanis quickly got up and stared at Eurasia's dragoon spirit, as it was emitting a chilling black glow, "NO!...I knew this would happen. Hes a DS Dragoon now! Zero! DarkStar! Contain him, quickly!", he yelled, tossing away the gavel and heading towards the cages. His running was cut short when Zero and Darkstar were sent flying into the air.

An intense aura of darkness covered Eurasia, as every dragoon in the room stared at this new power. His eyes turned and focused on one thing, the cages which contained the dragonesses. Stanis growled at him as he started to make his way over to the cages, "What are you dragoons doing?! Stop him!", he yelled, getting every dragoon out of their seats.

As every dragoon started to make their strike, Eurasia unleashed a wave of dark energy which covered the whole room in darkness. There was punching and screaming everywhere, then a quick flash before the room became lit up again.

The dragoons all were on top of each other, punching each other in the faces. Stanis was very annoyed, "ARG! Everyone look for Eurasia! Find him!", he shouted, as every dragoon searched frantically for Eurasia's where abouts. He was nowhere to be found, as no trace of dark energy could be sensed.

Upon closer inspection, Stanis noticed something was wrong, "Wait a second...the dragonesses are gone!", he exclaimed, pointing to the cages which held Rizan, Hamelis, and Shyranrya. But, Falcon was still in his cage, held against his will as he just pouted. Firon climbed out from the chaos, looking quite worried, "Damn...hes become one of them. This is a huge problem, since Eurasia knows a lot. We must take quick action to prevent any long term damage. The one thing that bothers me is how he was able to escape without getting to the Gateway..."

DarkStar started to get up after being flung away like nothing, "Damn...what power. He caught me completely off guard. Grr...I shouldn't have hesitated to use force when I was ordered to, but that won't happen next time.", he vowed, chilling the air around him.

Zero however was already up, and walking towards Stanis to see what was the next course of action. This new turn of events really caught him by surprise, as he thought about everything that had happened, "Damn...Eurasia. Why?...after all of the years we spent training, becoming the best. Grr...I gotta find "him", since he is a genius. I'm sure that he should know what do to about Eurasia.", he thought, already trying to think of something for Eurasia.

The dragoons started to clean up the mess caused by the whole incident, as Falcon was wheeled out. He remained quiet throughout the whole ordeal, having nothing to say nor think about what had happened. Firon walked to Stanis and Noct to have a little discussion about what to do about Eurasia. The trio walked out and headed for the briefing room for privacy.

Meanwhile, In an Unknown location, Abyssion was training himself, as he felt the rush of dark energy hit him. The sword in his hand was put down as he started chuckling, "Heh...it has finally happened. And what makes it better is that I didn't have to execute the plan to do it myself. I'm going to have to pay a visit to Aisarue soon enough.", he said, walking up to a tree in an unknown forest.

Abyssion looked up to see Omega holding a bird in his hand. "Birdy birdy birdy.", he playfully said, as he let it go as saw it fly away. He jumped down and stared eye to eye with Abyssion, "So I see you felt that too. Who would've known that they caused their own soldier to turn on them. That fool Stanis just helped us out more than he thinks. So when do you think we should say hi to our new friend Abyssion?", he asked, leaning his back on the tree.

A smirk came to his face as he re sheathed his sword, walking into the shadows, "Don't worry Omega, he'll come to us. And we need him for the ceremony, since hes the final component for the plan...", he replied menacingly, as he vanished into the darkness.

-

DS Eurasia in the dark, skillfully moved past every dragoon. The three dragonesses were taken from their cages, as he took out his P.I.C. and used the new upgrade he had received before hand and used it to escape. In an instant, they all arrived back in Rizan's lair. They were in Rizan's rather large bedroom, as the Hamelis looked stupefied as to what had just happened. Shyranrya was being held by Eurasia, as he gently eased her to the bed and covered her.

Rizan was struggling to get free, her voice muffled as Hamelis helped her while keeping an eye on Eurasia, "Don't worry, I'm here to help you. Just gotta...got it!", she squealed, cutting off her metallic binds. Rizan felt happy to be free, as she spit out the gag in her mouth, "Yuck! Damn those bastards, dragoons indeed--....huh?"

In the corner of her eye, DS Eurasia was giving Shyranrya a can of F.A.I.R.S. to heal her injuries. She started to remember what they did to her while she was at D.O.O.P., which did not seem like anything how Eurasia treated her...

-

3 hours earlier...

Rizan was at home, just getting through some household chores, "Hmmm...this should be clean enough. It looks nice enough when company is over later on.", he hummed to her self, feeling the need for someone over to spend time with.

Nothing but silence in her cave, as her wings drooped down in loneliness. Her sigh echoed in her cave as she walked towards her hot spring to relax, until she heard some footsteps entering her cave. There was also the sound of talking, but it was very faint.

"Eurasia?...Is that you...", she shouted into the entrance. There was no direct answer, as she decided to listen on the voices and found that they were not who she thought it was.

"...asia. Yes sir, she does indeed know as you thought. We are going to proceed with the plan as requested."

There was more footsteps as they got closer to her. She started to let out a low growl, feeling threatened. Suddenly, she spotted a human walking down, wearing a uniform similar to Eurasia's.

When the human's eyes met hers, she felt just a bit relieved, "Phew...you look like another dragoon like Eurasia."

The human looked back and ordered others to come in as they swarmed into the room. Rizan started to feel uncomfortable with so many humans in her lair. Before she could ask what they wanted, one human came up to her. He was wearing something completely different from the armor that the other humans had.

"Sorry to intrude, but you are the dragon known as Rising Zaraphan if I am not mistaken? I'm sure that you are since you know Eurasia...", said the human menacingly.

Her claws were drawn as she was starting to get a bad feeling in her gut, "Yes I am...and how do you know who I am? Are you dragoons that work with Eurasia?..."

The human seemed to whisper something to the other humans, as they started to chatter amongst each other. A chuckle was heard as the main human started to walk forward towards her, making Rizan take an attack stance, "Why yes we are, I am the leader of D.O.O.P. known as Stanislavsky. I am here because we need to know the truth, as to what Eurasia did here. Tell us, did he have sex with you?", he asked, taking out his Grey P.I.C. and typing something into it.

A low growl was given to Stanis, as she beared her teeth, "Why do you need to know something like that?...Wait, what did you do to Eurasia?", she asked, feeling that something might have happened to him.

"I see...looks like that we are going to have to do this the hard way then...", he said bluntly, pressing more buttons as a portal opened in front of her. She let out a surprised roar as she tried to jump back, but something behind her seemed to grab her and stop her in her tracks.

"Sorry, but you want the hard way it seems...We'll be seeing you seeing you soon...", was the last thing she heard as Stanis had warped behind her and pushed her into the portal.

-

Rizan's mind came back into to the present as Eurasia started to walk over to her. Hamelis was still pretty much shocked as she gave a look over to Shyranrya, "Hmm...she seemed to have suffered at the hands of those so called "Dragoons". It seems that they aren't the great heroes that I heard so much about.", she commented, while turning her attention to Eurasia. Her eyes narrowed as she started to walk towards him, being careful of the low level ceiling, "Eurasia, why did they do that? I thought dragoons were supposed to help dragons, not treat them like enemies! Why did they do that to us?!", she shouted, as Eurasia stared at her.

DS Eurasia just stared back, a very cold stare that seemed to make her shiver a bit. She noticed there was something wrong with Eurasia. He seemed to lack the fiery spirit that he had when had first met. His eyes revealed nothing but emptiness and a lack of happiness.

Rizan stared back at Eurasia as he stood in front of her with his empty stare, "Eurasia...what has happened to you? You don't feel like the same Eurasia who seemed full of energy that I was with not too long ago.", she asked, feeling the shift in his personality.

"Eurasia...is gone. He won't be coming back, but he did leave a message for you three. For you Hamelis, "I'm sorry for getting you into this, as I never wanted to harm you.", Shyranrya, "I hope you can forgive me for having caused so much pain to you.", and he has a good one for you Rizan. "Rizan, it is you that I have the most regret for this. As something happened to me on the day we first mated. Evil has been growing in side of me since then, and I was too stupid not to notice. Luckily, I have made a deal with him on to save you all before my final moments, as well as something for you. Please, live on and forget about me, because I am no longer myself...", and thats it."

Rizan started to tear a bit, as Hamelis tried to piece together what he had just said. Rizan grabbed Eurasia by his shirt and pulled him up to eye level, "NO! You can't be gone! I know you are in there Eurasia!--ack!", but she was cut off as DS Eurasia knocked her out with a slight blow to the neck.

Hamelis screamed out of shock, "No! Eurasia, what did you do to her!? This can't be true that you are..."

His attention went to Hamelis, as he fished in his pocket for something, "I told you already that Eurasia is gone, never to return. My name is Aisarue, get it right as I give the last thing that Eurasia wanted me to do before the deal is complete."

He took out a white P.I.C. and a note which was placed in the hand of the knocked out Rizan. Hamelis was about lunge at him, but Aisarue reacted jumped and smacked her behind the neck. She was still for a few seconds, before falling down with a earth shattering thud.

"Save your energy...part of the deal was that I don't hurt you or any of you girls. Now, it--URG!", but before he could finish, he fell to his knees in pain. Hamelis was not completely out, as she saw a huge flash come from Aisarue's spirit. She felt something warm started to take place of the cold feeling that Aisarue's spirit emitted.

Then the warm, familiar face of Eurasia seemed to return into Hamelis's view. He seemed to start to cry at he looked at her, "Hamelis...Rizan...Shyranrya...I'm sorry. This..is my last message, before I am..consumed. Please...forget about me...mo--aahhh!", but once more, Eurasia was cut off by a jolt of dark energy. It shocked all over his body as it twitched and wiggled under the massive force behind it.

That was the last thing Hamelis viewed before blacking out, as Aisarue took back control of the body. The new evil stood up, smirking before coughing hard, which caused blood to be expelled from him. That wouldn't stop him as he cleaned it off and took out his P.I.C., which was now a darker, blood red color.

He started up the Transdimensional Gateway, chuckling before looking back for a second. There was a flash as he entered, his laughing echoed as he had exited to start his plan.
