Eura has been always getting into trouble. I wonder why? Is it just bad luck or something else..either way hes not the type to find trouble, it just finds him. Though what is Eura's connection to Frin?...Shes hiding something._

**Date: November 2nd

Location: Outskirts of Hydion, ruined part

Time: 12:46 pm**

Frin and Rizan gasped seeing the screen go to static, making them wonder what had happened. The P.I.C.'s screen went to a screen with a blinking dot, "Eura!...this is showing his last known coordinates. We lost connection with him suddenly...I know I have to wait for Shyranrya but her P.I.C. is busted...", thought Rizan, going quite frantic at the situation at hand. Frin shook Rizan for a moment, trying to get her steady until the P.I.C. rang again.

The screen had the words "Incoming Call from - Unknown", making Rizan skeptical about answering, but she had traced the call to somewhere in Saint Falda, meaning even if it was dangerous, she could kick that person's ass, "Yes?..oh its you! I thought your P.I.C. was still fried from the last time.", Rizan said, being surprised to see Shyranrya on the screen. Frin wasn't sure who that was, but she gave a wave herself, getting a smile from the black and white dragoness.

"Yo! And it still is, but why do you think I left? I'm buying the latest P.I.C. model, the P.I.C. 2. Even though it has useless features, it looks kinda cool compared to what we had...I'm still not quite done but I just wanted to see if this was working fine. Don't forget to add me back to your numbers list Rizzy.", responded Shyranrya, still in the store somewhere in the nearby city. She was shopping for new things, but the P.I.C. 2 was the most important on the list.

Rizan made sure to save after this call, but she had something else to tell her friend, "No problem about that...oh right! I know me and Eura said we'd wait for you, but there seems to be trouble. I'll explain later but I gotta head out to make sure Eura is ok!", she yelled, Shyranrya tilting her head upon hearing that, "Wait, hes in trouble again? Man our dragoon sure is a magnet for trouble...how bad is it?"

"I'm not sure yet but he seems to have fallen down somewhere...I'm heading towards the Grave Canyon now. Keep in touch.", explained Rizan, giving her goodbyes and closing the connection. She had wondered about getting a new P.I.C., though being reminded that the one she had was a gift from Michael long ago. Only if it had broken like Shyranrya's, would she get a new one she thought, putting the it in her pocket and looking down to Frin, "Since you want to see Eura, want to come along? Traveling together would be safer incase something happens.", offered Rizan, Frin giving a nod as she brushed off her suit, knowing that she'd need some new threads after this.

Before the two could go, someone stopped them, shouting from the distance, "One second ladies!", the voicing making them turn around. Jack had ran towards them, though panting as he wasn't used to running, "Huff...I just wanted to thank you personally on behalf of my town. You did some good work for us, although cleaning up may not be as easy for us as it was for you dispatching those macros. Let's see, we've got to get rid of a giant body, clean all of the blood, fix the town up. That is going to be a real pain.. or at least, it would be, but thanks to your payment of a million dollars Frin, it'll be a piece of cake"

Frin's face went white being reminded of that huge payment, quickly attempting to pounce him down but only finding herself pouncing the ground as he dodged her and dodged her again. She was unable to grab him as he moved back and forth at the last second, quickly out of her grasp, "Nuh uh. The payment was already processed. Remember, it's for a worthy cause! Besides, with how much money you get from time to time, it can't be a big loss to you ya?", he snickered at her with a grin, Frin trying one more time before escaped and was running back towards his Inn.

It was a crushing defeat for Frin, tears going down her face as she was gonna lose a huge chunk of her money, "That...Jack! I'll kick his ass later...but for now, lets focus on finding Eura. Sorry about that Rizan, you lead.", she said, Rizan nodding and brushing off the dirt off of her new friend. The two headed towards the distance, Rizan flying above while Frin ran below. Frin did not have any wings so she was stuck on the floor, but it didn't bother her as she was still fast. It took them no time to reach the town of Nature's Valley, seeing that everyone was working after the destruction due to the dragon.

Rizan stopped for a moment midair, seeing Frin stopping to take a look at the ground, "Frin? Whatcha looking for?", she shouted, Frin touching the ground and noticing a black line leading out to a trail, "I'm seeing which way Eura took! Hes at the Grave Canyon but its best to know where exactly he was!", she shouted back, quickly continuing her sprinting and leaving many people in awe as the dust kicked up by the blue dragoness was impressive.

A certain pink haired dragon caught a glimpse of her, coming out of the doctor's office as he realized that she was the answer to all of his problems, "Isn't that...Frin Hirk? If shes here...maybe...", he thought, going back inside the doctor's office to take care of business before getting a running start and taking off into the air. After a few more minutes later, the two dragonesses arrived and they saw the desolate wasteland the canyon was, Rizan taking a moment to fly over the deep canyon and not seeing the bottom at all.

Frin followed the ash trail until she noticed the cliff, seeing a section of it missing. Her eyes also spotted a rock, walking over to grab it and toss it over the edge, "Something isn't right here. And this rock will prove it.", she thought, leaning over to await for confirmation. Rizan flew to the other side and saw nothing, then deciding to talk about what to do with Frin, flying back over and landing beside her friend though confused as to what she was doing.

"Nothing...what about---", but she was silenced by Frin, giving her a hmph as she awaited the rock's impact down below. Suddenly an impact was heard, though not the one she was expecting as it was a massive one behind them and knocked them off into the abyss below, "Ahhh! What was that!?", shouted Rizan as she was thrown off balance, quickly grabbing Frin by the hand and getting upright to fly back up to investigate. Frin was still looking down to that darkness that bothered her, "Thats a...barrier? If Eurasia would've fallen down there, he would've been...", she thought, holding on tight as Rizan flew them back onto the cliff's edge.

-

It's been such a long time...even while I slept...I saw all of the wrong happening on the planet. N.D. is back and he erased every dragoon. But now, theres hope. My partner and I will stop N.D. once more, just like me and Dart did back then.

**Date: November 2nd

Location: Bottom of the Grave Canyon

Time: 12:52 pm**

Michael was still getting the weird liquid off of him, the burst of flame earlier not doing the job as it went out quickly and was unable to dry him off. Also he was unable to even use his fire now as his internal "spark plug" was soaked, so if something bad were to happen, it would be trouble if he didn't dry off. Even though it was a problem, he was focused on this dragoness and what she was saying, "So we're supposed to be partners? Like...the same way that the dragoons during the Dragon Campaign had dragon partners too?", he asked, sounding quite interested while looking at her eyeballs, getting a nod from her while not making him fly off. However she still seemed to be fidgeting about something.

"Yes, exactly. Its a little known fact that a select few dragoons were paired up with a specific dragon compatible with that dragoon's strongpoints. Their teamwork made the strongest combination and were the ones who turned the tide of that war. Did you know that the humans and dragons were actually losing, until the greatest dragoon of them all...Eurasia took command. He decided on full teamwork and carefully selected the dragons and humans who should work together.", explained this dragoness, Michael getting quite pumped hearing about it.

"So...you were there? During the Dragon Campaign?..", he asked, his voice sounding tense as she nodded at him once again, a claw scratching her snout and close to him. It was a bit scary to see how insignificant he was compared to her, finding it hard to imagine the power she would have, "Tell me, if you were there, can you tell me about Eurasia? My name is Michael Eurasia and I've been looking for information regarding him. Everywhere I look, it has been a dead end...even the diary he left behind didn't explain much at all.", he pleaded, her jaw dropping hearing that this dragoon was related to a legend.

She tried to keep herself calm, finding herself breathing hard, "Y-you're of the Eurasian blood-line? I can't believe it...I'm working with the descendant of the great hero. Though...you're a dragoon of fire. Our obvious weakness is water as you'd obviously know. We're gonna have to work together twice as hard, seeing that your ancestor had no weaknesses at all..."

The whole mentioning of Eurasia threw things off topic, this was very important information. To have no weaknesses at all, it must have meant that he had to have been a different dragoon than he was, "He had no weaknesses at all? That must mean he wasn't a dragoon of fire like me. What was his power?", asked Michael, getting her to get back on topic and think for a moment.

"Hmm...his power...it wasn't a power exactly. More so an ability but...I can't remember what it was. It has been over 900,000 years that I've been asleep. Memories over that long of time go to the back of the mind where it is hidden. Don't worry, if I remember I'll tell you. Also before I forget, you mentioned he left behind a diary? If it really was his, he'd have left behind important information on it that only a dragon like me could find.", she responded, getting Michael to think where it was exactly.

"Hmm...Shyranrya would know. She was the one who hid it that day...well I'll bring it to you, but I don't think you could read it. You're very big and the book is smaller than me!", he exclaimed, getting a chuckle from her as she relaxed and moved her legs apart just a bit. It didn't seem to worry her that given her size, she couldn't possibly read something with that small of a text.

"Well don't you worry about that. I know at my size, a girl like me isn't too useful around you littles but by tomorrow, you'll be thankful that we're on the same side. Though come here for a second. I have to memorize your taste, and scent so I know where you are at all times.", she asked, gripping him by his shirt again with her claws. He was confused as what she meant by taste and scent, being lifted quite high into the air and seeing her open her mouth. It was like an abyss that made his eyes bulge. Her pink tongue came out and slobbered all over him, literally as if he was hit by a tidal wave of saliva as he was licked. Though it was a light lick, to him it was probably the biggest lick he'd get in his life.

After the lick, she slurped her lips, his taste quite sweet like a strawberry as she blew on him. Instantly he was dried off and clean from anything, putting him down on her snout once again, "Mmmm..you're not half bad. How interesting, that you taste like a fruit. Well now that I have you memorized, I can find you on the planet where ever you are. However if you leave this dimension, I won't be able to track you. For that, I'll leave our minds linked so we can talk whenever you'd need me or if I'd need you. Don't worry though, I won't be reading your mind or anything. Think of a phone inside your head. You'll know when I'm trying to get to you, and for you, just focus on me and I'll notice."

He took a moment to walk to the tip of her snout, seeing down below was so far away. Heights weren't too much of a problem for him but he saw something he couldn't have seen from down below, putting two and two together, "That's great! I'll be keeping that in mind...literally. Though now I get it! When I was on the ground, I was splashed with this sticky stuff, then I ended up on your leg. The air down below also grew quite hot...you were masturbating weren't you? If its anything like what I've experienced, that earthquake must have been from when you...what did she call it?--whoa!", he asked but suddenly being tossed off her snout as she was completely embarrassed.

She couldn't believe he had noticed but also was shocked he had said it outloud like that. It took her a moment to realize that she didn't feel the little guy on her snout wondering where he flew off too, "Oops...Eurasia? Where...did you land?", she asked, remaining still so that she wouldn't end up hurting him incase he fell on the ground below. After a few moments of silence, she felt something moving on her head, between her two black horns though she didn't move her hands or anything incase it was him.

"Yea I'm...alright. Just a bit shaken...though why are you embarrassed? I was told that for females its natural, but for males it shouldn't be done as its a waste.", said Michael, shaking his head as it was quite the trip. He had wondered now if it was right to say that, forgetting that masturbating is a personal thing among people. It seemed that everything was set, then being reminded of some important news, "Oh no! I forgot! Rizan is probably going nuts...I have to go. You said just thinking about you will tell you that I want to talk right? I have no reception down here so I gotta get back to the surface!"

The dragoness understood, knowing that she'll see him soon, "Alrighty...lets get you back up there fast. I'll see you tomorrow, if not sooner.", she said, grabbing him with her claws again, and gently tossing him up. Michael gave a yell as he flying through the air like a bullet, easily going past the cliff he fell off but still going. The wind was hard against his face, having to look the other way and realizing that he was going too far. As he was finally dry, he turned his hands up and let out a burst of flame from his hands, the force of it slowing him down after he had passed the clouds before finally stopping. He gave a sigh of relief, though it was short lived as he looked down to see the country side, and Hydion in the distance, "Oh darn it...I forgot, I'm way up HIIIIIGH!", he yelled again, and falling to the ground.

Michael was going down fast, seeing the ground come up slowly as he knew exactly what to do. However it was kind of risky if someone was below, which was lucky for him he knew no one would come around here as he let out a continuous burst of flame, enough to start slowing him down. It was working fine at first, until something hit him from behind and knocked him off balance, "AHHH! What was that?!", he shouted, his arm bleeding a bit and his shirt half burned off. He went spiraling down, until crashing into the rock below.

The impact made quite the mess, the ground around him burnt and ruined as he emerged from the smoking crater with a groan and looked around, "Ugh...something shot me...and I feel...shrapnel in my shoulder.", he thought, wincing as he rubbed his burned shoulder and realized his shirt had incinerated from the impact, while his pants were torn up. He saw a dragon coming straight at him while he coughed and came out from the smoke, the pink hair looking familiar though he had a scared expression on his face, "Haurin?...whatcha doing out here?", he asked, the dragon landing while out of breath and looking down at him.

"Eurasia! Dude, I told you....huff...they'd be after you. Wait, where's Frin? I couldn't have fallen that far behind her..", he asked, looking around though Michael surprised hearing they were both here. Before he could really take a look around, he heard someone yelling on a megaphone, followed by the ground starting to shake in the direction he came from. Haurin wasn't sure, but started to see some scary machinery coming their way, "Uh oh...hes here...."

"Hey brat! It finally makes sense who you are...you're that bozo who took out Vanaxiss Castle. The Dragoon of Fire and the rookie everyone has their eyes on. Hope you enjoyed my heat seeking missile...Well doesn't matter after this! I'll kill you and claim that head of yours!", shouted a familiar voice, Tanks, and a whole bunch of wolf infantry running right at them. It was probably about 1000 soldiers with machine guns and 200 tanks, all pointed at Michael as they closed in.

That wolf was back, but this time with the big guns from that earlier scuffle he had with Michael, "Ah...that was you? That wasn't very nice...but if its a fight you want, and you won't leave me alone, then I'll have to stop you again.", he responded back, looking up at Haurin for a moment and noticing he was nervous, "Don't worry, I'll handle things. Just stay back---OOOF!", but he was cut off being tackled from behind. Everyone just blinked seeing that the 50 million Kash man being taken down by what seemed to be a small dragoness. Rizan gave a sigh of relief seeing her human was ok, but the wound on his shoulder got her to wonder what happened and what caused that impact.

"There you are! Do you know how much trouble you're in?!", shouted the voice, a bit unfamiliar to him as he turned around and saw that he was being pinned by a dragoness in a slightly dirty suit. It got Michael a bit nervous hearing that he was in trouble, but he wasn't sure who it was. His look got Frin a bit worried, grabbing him by the neck of his shirt and shaking him, "Whats with that "Who the heck is this blue sexy dragoness" look on your face? Don't you remember me? Frin? Frin Hirk? The one you left waiting 50 years ago!", she shouted, the name ringing a bell.

It was then he remembered, hitting him like a ton bricks as he was shocked but also quite confused, "W-w-wait! I remember! But...you can't be her! Frin was like, 200 feet tall and huge...you're...probably barely 5 feet tall!", he said, getting a slap from her which made Rizan a bit annoyed as she didn't like what she did. However she wasn't going to stop her this time, noticing that they were surrounded by an unknown enemy who had seemed to know Michael.

Frin was quite sad, but it was true she wasn't the same height as when they first met, but she thought he still deserved that slap for not keeping his promise, "Eurasia...I've changed since then. Alot has happened...but we'll save that for another time. Seems you can't keep yourself from being attacked can't ya?", she asked, getting off of him and helping him up. Michael just chuckled and prepared himself, seeing everyone take aim at them, with Haurin hiding behind all three of them.

"Sorry about that, and sorry to trouble you again Rizan. If it wasn't for that missile that just hit me, I wouldn't be hurt...I'll have to tell you what happened after this. Though I can still fight. This guy is a pushover and a bully!", said Michael, Rizan just chuckling and getting ready too. The wolf was wearing a helmet while being in the front most tank only 100 feet away, annoyed that they had singled him out until the very last minute.

He grabbed his megaphone, sick and tired of this game, "EURASIA! YOU BASTARD! LISTEN TO ME WHILE I'M ABOUT TO KILL YOU! Actually, I think i'll kill all of you...I was just informed that the limb cutter is with you. Not to mention the there is a hit out on you Frin. I'll be flithy stinkin rich at this rate! JACKPOT!", he shouted, giving everyone a headache as he readied his forces. Michael powered as fire was blazing from his hands, Rizan cracked her knuckles and Frin pushed Haurin back to keep him safe.

"FIRE!", shouted Sockzy, every tank firing their shots and the infantry pulling the trigger on their machine guns. Before the other side could move, a massive wall appeared in front of them as a shadow covered the dragoon and dragonesses. On the other side, there was the sound of explosions and bullets ricocheting off, essentially protecting them while Rizan and Frin were shocked at what they saw.

Michael looked up and saw that the wall wasn't a wall, but actually the hand of the dragoness he had just met, "Oh no you don't...trying to hurt my partner is a big No-No little wolf.", said a booming voice, the wolf noticing that it was in reality a massive hand in front of his forces. He was dwarfed by the sheer size of it, probably two hundred feet tall at the least with sharp claws bigger than three of his tanks. With one fair swoop of her claw and a deafening boom, the whole army was wiped out in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing but pieces of scrap metal and several smears of blood on a now ruined ground and knocking over Michael and the rest.

Rizan and Frin looked at Michael as he wasn't looking shocked, seeing this large army taken care of before they could blink. She took a moment to put two and two together, "Wait, you know who this is?", asked Rizan, getting a nod from him and a smile, "Oh thats just...uhh..oh darn I forgot to ask for her name. Well shes a friend! She said we're destined to be partners and work together.", explained Michael, getting an even more shocked reaction from Rizan.

"Hopefully I didn't turn you off from working with me Eurasia. I saw they were a threat and wanted to eliminate you...can't have that--oh! Also my name! I got too worked up and forgot to introduce myself...I'm Fyre. Ashiga Fyre, dragoness of fire and your loyal partner. Can't wait until tomorrow when I meet your friends and I can show how helpful I am!", she said with a giggle, quite happy to finally be doing some work and helping out.

It was good news that she was on their side, knowing that it wouldn't be a long fight if she wasn't they all thought. Michael gave a wave at her, the only one doing so as Rizan was trying to figure out what she meant by partner and Frin and Haurin still awed from that power, "Alrighty then. Fyre, I'll contact you tomorrow morning! Thank you!", shouted Michael, the massive hand giving a thumbs up behind them before going back to the darkness that was the bottom of the Grave Canyon.

Everyone was silent for a moment, everyone but Michael feeling good and relieved, "Well then...before I explain things to you Rizan and Frin, Haurin. Why are you here? Its quite the surprise.", asked Michael, Haurin shaking his head and looking at the dragoon, "Errm...oh right. I'm actually here to talk to Frin! I saw her leave town earlier but she was so fast it took me awhile to catch up...", he responded, Frin coming to her senses.

"Ah right. Well if its something law related, it'll have to wait until tomorrow...after today I'm spent. Come by my office first thing tomorrow and I'll give you a discount for making you wait.", she said, walking up to Haurin and giving him her card. Haurin pouted a bit and rubbed his pink hair in disappointment, though he was glad to hear that she'd hear him out.

"Thank you very much! Its not very important but I really need to talk to you about my problem...cya tomorrow then. Eurasia, keep yourself safe. Even though Sockey is gone...thank goodness...you have a huge price on your head. Chances are you'll be targeted from here on out.", he warned, giving a wave to everyone and flying off.

Rizan grabbed Michael after Haurin had left, her look quite serious as she eyed him, "Eura...what do you mean your partner? And loyal partner?! Have you been hiding this from me?!", she asked, sounding quite frantic. Michael wasn't sure what was her problem, giving a nervous chuckle at her, "Well...its a long story. Can we take a break back home? Its gonna be awhile until the sword is ready and I promise I'll tell you everything."

It was quite the hard bargain, but it was probably for the best. She needed a change of clothes, glad to see it wasn't noticed while she let him go, "Oh alright...but you'd better. Frin would you like to join us for lunch? I'll make something to eat while Eura here spills the beans.", offered Rizan, Michael rubbing the back of his head as he was wondering if this lunch was going to be filling or painful.

Her tone made him quite nervous, though was glad to see Frin accepting that offer with a nod, "Of course. I still have to fill Eurasia in on a few things make him spill some more beans for me..in fact I may need your help again soon.", she said with a smile, getting Michael worried even more as they both grabbed him by the arms and vanished in a blink of an eye back to Rizan's house.

  • Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Grave Canyon....

Fyre had just finished cleaning up the mess she made, still embarrassed to death that her partner would come in at the most unexpected moment. It would take a couple of hours before she was able to leave here, and she was excited to be working with someone who came from the infamous Eurasian family line, "Oooh!....its going to be so exciting. Even though I worked with that Dart fellow, to work with the savior of the dragon campaign...makes my scales tingle. Sometimes I wish humans didn't have such a low life expectancy...though I should make sure to keep a close eye on him. He feels like he couldn't hurt a fly...but the fire within his heart could incinerate anyone. Such an innocent boy should be fun to hang around with...and with the way those dragonesses felt for him, maybe even tease...", she thought, sighing and rubbing her stomach scales while she relaxed.

She was left tingling after thinking of past things, being bored day after day of looking for her partner only to have him fall onto her knee after her fun. It was good that no one would know about that, yawning and thinking of taking a nap before preparing the big spell. It was then she heard something, or rather someone in her mind, "..glad to see you finally got in touch with him. Great, that'll save me time tracking him down.", said this voice, the tone intimidating but sounding familiar.

It got her looking around, then to closing her eyes to focus on where it came from, "Who is this? You know I could easily track you down intruder...", she responded, taking the moment to find out where the line was coming from. The answer shocked her, trying to make sense of where the connection was coming from, "E-Eurasia?...no...this isn't you. You feel dark, and evil. Not innocent and bright like him. Yet you're using the link I have to his mind?"

"Oh, well...if you must know...me and Eura, go way back. Just tell him an old friend is looking for him...and he wants to meet him soon...I'll be in touch...and unlike that weakling Eurasia, you won't be able to tap into my mind. So don't waste your time Ms Dragoness.", said the voice, cutting off suddenly and leaving Fyre worried.

There wasn't much that could make a dragon like her shrudder, but it was just impossible what had happened, "How...how can two people share the same mind link. That's impossible...unless....well I don't want to bother Eurasia now. I'll ask him about whoever that could be later...for now. Now to focus on that spell before having some more fun.", she thought, concentrating hard on keeping her promise.
