Almost immediately the Dragon King Armor materialized around R.D.'s form, and chunks of the ground were ripped away as the matter converter created two hip cannons and the torso cannon on the three hardpoints for them. The hip cannons swung up and aimed directly at Juno as R.D. lifted his arms and activated the two arm cannons. He was standing between Juno and the Hartnetts, with all weapons aimed at the Ancient.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Juno," he said flatly from behind his visor.

"Bahamut assigned these three to finding the Chronoscepter pieces and reassembling it," R.D. said, his tone still flat, and unconcerned about the undead around him, "And just because you're strong doesn't mean I can't beat you, Juno. If I can survive Xastra head-on and still win, your army isn't much of a threat to me.

"They're under my protection, and you'll accept them. If you can accept the monster,"--he gestured towards Reckoning--"And the undead necromancer,"--this time he motioned towards Dokuro--"Then these three can and will be accepted. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the Isle."

===In Japan===

Alasea chuckled at the two children's anticipation, and quickly sat down at the table across from them. "Well, let's see... I guess it really all started for me when I met R.D.. The first time we met, actually, was in a fight," she said, remembering that time when she attacked him out of fright, "I didn't know who he was at the time, there'd been an attack on the city, a lot of people had been killed, and I was frightened. He managed to win, though, by sheer dumb luck."

R.D. waited a few moments, then slowly lowered his arms, and dismissed the weaponry as his visor slid open. "So we're in accord?" he asked as he crossed his arms in front of the polished violet and cobalt breastplate.

A 16 year-old boy looked at the dark sky,wondering about something.He grin to himself and picked himself up from the ground,Looks like I gotta get going.He thought to himself.He putted two of his pistols into his pockets and putted a sword with a red blade to his back.Then,it started raining,Hnh!Great timing for it to rain.He thought.He started walking."Aw man,I feel bored!"He said to himself."Maybe I won't keep you bored!"A strange voice came out."Who's that?!"The boy yelled."Heheh!Looks like you can't remember my voice eh?It's me DrakenHell!"Called out the mysterious voice."Show yourself!"DrakenHell yelled.The mysterio came out from the shadows.It can't be!.DrakenHell was shocked."Kazy?!That's not possible!I killed you a year ago!"Kazy laughed,"Ahahaha!Yes,you killed me a year ago but then I was lucky!Some scientists found me and started experimenting my body and revived me but then i killed them and later,i started changing...My body started mutating and then i was out of control and out of a blue,i become a monster and destroyed the whole lab....But that does not matter now!Let me see how strong you are after training for a year!"Damn it!.DrakenHell gritted his teeth and pulled out his guns.

(OOC: One of your pics doesn't work, Juno. Also, whenever did Juno have the time to study Kuro, with all the fighting going on?)

Maya flashed a smile at the mention of the 'sheer dumb luck', just as Mercy responded positively to the words. "What happened after that?" The little girl asked eagerly. "More dumb luck?"

R.D. looked at the proferred hand, then at Gatz himself. After a brief moment, R.D. uncrossed his arms and shook the Ancient's hand, identifying himself as, "R.D.."

===In Japan===

"No," Alasea said, shaking her head, "What happened after that was really a lot of bad luck. After that battle, I met R.D.'s friends, Matt Willard, Hugo the Mettaur, Hsien-ko, and Mei-ling. But after that, our adventure was off to a rough start. So I'd say it was a lot of bad luck, actually. We decided to go to an island that R.D. was talking about, and along the way, we got attacked by a lot of monsters."

"Psht." Meta spat. She wasn't about to deal the first blow in this second fight. However, a little preparation couldn't hurt. Underneath her skin she started force electricity to cource through her body, keeping it away from the surface of her skin, keeping it invisible. This big ugly serpent was quite confident of itself, calling her by the degrading title of "young one". Whilst Hydro may had been created a very long time ago, he had been awakened not so very long ago, which would make him barely older than her, practically.

Draken starts firing bullets at Kazy.Kazy grinned and uses his coat as a shield.The bullets was then reflected to Draken.He quickly took out his sword and block the bullets."Haha!Impressive Draken!"Kazy took out a katana and dash straight towards Draken.Suddenly,Kazy teleported behind Draken.Draken knew Kazy's same old trick and turned around to block his attack.Kazy backed up and grinned,"I'm impressed by your quickness Draken!But you won't be able to block this!Illusion Snakes!"Kazy summoned out 2 misty looking snakes."Looks like you got new tricks up your sleeves eh?"Draken grinned."This guys should keep you busy Draken!"Kazy laughed."What do you mean by that?!"Kazy ignored Draken and disappeared."Damn it his gone!"Draken gritted his teeth.The Mist Snakes shot out mist from their mouth."Drats!Its so misty that I can't see a thing."Draken looked around,trying to find the Mist Snakes.Out of nowhere,one of the Mist Snakes came out from the mist.Draken then tried to slash the Snake but then the Snake became mist.Damn!This guys could disguise themselves as mist and attack out of nowhere!I need to use the Mist Seal but then it could damage my body by using the power...I have no choice if not I will have my dead body lying here!."Mist Seal....Activate!"

~~Somewhere in another place~~

"Ugh...How long is he gonna take?!His late!"Zex took out a paper."This must be the place!I'm sure of it!Golem Castle at 10:30 p.m. and it's 11:00 p.m.!"

OOC: Draken, trying placing spaces between periods and the next words, and not making your sentences so choppy. It's kinda hard to read as is.

To Ribitta:Hmm....I will try heh ^.^"
(OOC:Sure Juno ^.^)

Draken's sword started glowing and mist started surrounding it.Alright,lets do this!

Draken eyed suspiciously at the mist surrounding,waiting for the Snakes to pop out."Where is it?"Draken wondered.Suddenly,one of the snakes came out from the mist behind Draken but he reacted quickly and killed the Snake.

The 2nd Snake pop out from the side of Draken."Heh,this guys ain'nt smart..."Draken instantly killed the Snake and the mist started disappearing.Draken's sword blade stopped glowing,back to the red blade.Looks like I better be quick of getting to Golem Castle,heheh.

~~Few Minutes~~

Zex was about to doze off when suddenly he heard someone calling his name."Sorry if you took to long to wait for me,"Draken sweat dropped."Sorry?I waited for 2 damn hours!!"Zex yelled at Draken."Eheheh..."Draken sweat dropped again.

"Anyway,why did you call me to come here for?"Zex asked Draken."Oh yeah!I forgotten to write it down on the paper!I wanted you to travel with me on an adventure!"Zex crossed his arms,"Why?"

Hmm I was bored so yeah nothing to comment here ==

OOC:Then I request that you don't comment at all if you have nothing to say.

~Somewhere in a Newdam bar~

"Well, what do you know...it is here," said a man in a long cloak. He had quite a bit of stubble and a very gruff appearance,"Excuse me, bartender, do you know who dropped this?"

The stranger held up a small amulet with red, black, green, and silver crystals in it.

"Some guy dropped it, said he was heading to South America soon." The bartender said cleaning a cup.

"Thank you," The stranger walked out of the bar and proceeded towards the docks.

(OOC: ZOMG! BD returns! =O lol, that there is also the first mention of Newdam in this thread. XP)


Meta heard the voice of Sin speak softly behind her back, whilst she also heard the voice of Hydro speak in front of her, the latter appearing not to be much aware of the presence of the latter, and deadest of the three of them.

She smirked a little after both had spoken. She would not talk to Sin's shade and alert Hydro to his presence. For the moment she didn't feel much for conversing with Sin. "I am merely contemplating on how to handle this battle. Last time we ended up with a tie, and I have since gotten stronger, within just a manner of days. I doubt you have done the same, so I was considering: should I beat you like with Electra and have you just skip over a side, or should I just kick your ass so badly that not even your maker will be able to recognise you afterwards?"

Bryant, recovered from his daze, more from the shock of the sudden attempted attack then anything, nodded to Gatz. He was silent still, troubled, but refused to show it through anything other than his closed mouth. Veronica glanced back to him, and looked to Brandon who flashed a smile to Gatz.

"So my brother and sister-in-law, have bothered you before, eh? Well don't worry we won't anymore." Brandon said more to Gatz then to Juno, he wasn't fond of Juno nor his two friends.

"My name is Brandon." Brandon said finally.

R.D. nodded. "Now that we're all acquainted here," he said, unfolding his arms, "I say we get a move on things. There's a war going down on in the Antarctic, and I'm sure the Dragon Tribe will appreciate it if we help them out."

===In Japan===

"We fought all sorts of monsters," Alasea said, leaning back in her chair, "Your friend Lee was one of them. Anyways, we got the island, which was called Persior, though we didn't know it then. Matt found this statue of a dragon, and then we ended up fighting Lee, until Matt was able to slay him. Donovan then took him to some realm, while the rest of us tried to find some way of bringing him back, or at least going there to help him. We managed to find a portal, and brought him back to Persior. We spent the night there, and in the morning..."

The girl sighed. "In the morning, R.D. went out and picked a fight with a native creature defending the island ruins. We all went to save him, but the beast nearly killed me. Would have, too, if R.D. didn't take the shot for me. As it was, we both were knocked off a cliff and washed out to sea."

"Well,I wanted go for training but then I need a companian,so I decided to ask you to join with me,"Draken explained.

Zex stared at him and uncrossed his arms,"Actually,I was pretty damn bored after the Kazy's incident last year so I will pretty accept your request,"Draken grinned,"So,where should we be going?"

"I should be the one who is asking,"Zex yelled."But,we're lucky that I brought this,"

Zex took out a ball from his pocket and Draken wondered what it was."Well,if you're wondering what this is,it is actually a device that can teleport us to a place we want...It was given from my master,"Draken again wondered how can that device know where do they want to go.Zex sighed,"We can just stand in front of the mirror and just say out loud!"

Draken stop thinking then and scratched his chin,"But how is that small thing bring us to somewhere?"Zex started laughing,he threw the ball onto the ground and the ball transformed into a mirror.Draken was startled for a while.

"So?Where are we going to now?I recommend to go Golem Forest for some training,"Zex decided."Since you want us to go to Golem Forest...Off we go then!"Draken snapped his fingers.Zex stood in front of the mirror and said,"Bring us to Golem Forest!"

Mirror started shimmering and glowing."Quick!If the mirror stops shimmering and glowing,it will need to recharge for 2 hours!"Zex quickly ran into the mirror and disappeared.Draken followed wondered if the mirror will bring them to the right place.

On the other side of the portal was a city. It rested in small sandy desert surrounded on all sides by forest and gave off a sort of Arabian feel.

As X and the man approached, guards began to come up to them in a threatening manner, but it soon became clear that X was an ally, or a neutral at the least.

They were given medical attention, a shelter and food, and were to meet with the leader on the morn. They were lead to a tent on the outskirts of the south wall, where waited an athletic man with short blonde hair and dressed in leathers. He stood a full head shorter than X.

"Hey X, didn't think I'd be seeing you here."

The warrior looked about this new city, feeling much more comfortable than he had back in the city he had resurrected in. Once before in his travels had he been to a city like this one, one that resided in a desert, and was filled with dark-skinned men wearing thick clothing around their heads and bodies. The heat there had been nearly unbearable for him, but this place's heat did not affect him like it had back when he had been alive.

Idly, as he followed X around after he had been tended to, he wondered if X ever meant to ask him his name. He had yet to name himself, but the thought strangely did not bother him. He stood behind X a little ways off when the athletic man came up and greeted his companion, watching with a neutral face.

Draken came out of the mirror and looked around.Are we in the right place?Zex looked at him and smiled,"You're probably thinking if we are in the right place,eh?"

Draken nodded his head."Well,we are in Golem Forest!So what do we do now?"Zex grinned.Draken look around the loomy forest."I say we should get some rest,"Draken suggested.

"But we just got here!At least we can like do something!"Zex yelled."The only thing I wanna do is sleep and since you wanna go do something...I say that you should walk around the forest and find if there is a spot that we can train my dawn,alright?"Draken sat down and lean against a tree.

"Fine then,since you want to lie your lazy butt here,I will go train first!"Draken chuckled,"That's fine with me buddy,"He closed his eyes and started to snore.

~~Few Minutes Later~~

Zex wondered around the forest,looking for the decent spot to train.There seems to be no place decent to train but I must find it!.Suddenly,the trees started to move."Who's there?"Zex summond out his sword with look unique.The half of the blade had letters saying:Power of this sword can give us strength.While the other half of the blade had blue and red colours.

"Ahh....Looks like someone is ready to fight,"Came out a voice.That voice!It sounds so familiar!.The mysterio person jumped out of the shadows.Zex realised who was it,"Kazy?!I thought Me,Draken,Korj and Flamer killed you a year ago!"Kazy laughed,"If you wanna know how was I revived,ask Draken!But first,let's see how strong after a year!"

Edited by DrakenHell on December 23, 2007 at 8:13:07.

Alright,alright!I will stop the pointless messages ==

(@Megaman x rocks:Good then)

Kazy took out his katana started charging at Zex.Kazy tried to slash Zex but he manage to jump out of the way.Zex was above Kazy and yelled,"Down Straight Slash!"Zex aim his sword down,plunging him toawrds Kazy but he jumped out of the way.

Kazy form a X by slashing his katana on the ground."Illusion of Clones!"Clones of Kazy started appearing but all of them were dark.The clones started to charge straight towards Zex.He tried to parry the Clones attacks but failed.One of them slashed his arm while another one slashed his stomach.Blood spurtted out and Zex started gasping for breath.

"The same old Zex who can't dodge my attacks except for your other three friends,you're weak!"Zex smirked a little,"But you haven't seen my new attack which my master taught me!Fire Of Hell!"Zex's sword started glowing and his blade was then covered in flames.Kazy was impressed by the flaming sword."Is that all you got,Zex?"Zex gritted his teeth and grinned,"You should prepare yourself for this attack,Kazy!"Zex jumped into the air and plunged down as his sword hit the ground.The ground started glowing in red and Kazy wondered what was going to happen.

"I woulden't be standing if I were you!Flames of Hell!Explode!"The ground shook and fire burst out of the ground,burning Kazy severly.Kazy screamed in pain and teleported to prevent more injuries.There was a circle around Zex so that the fire woulden't hurt him.

~~With Draken~~

Draken was shook awake by the sound of explosion and the rumbling of the ground.After 8 seconds the rumbling stopped."What the hell was that?!"Draken was then surprised when he saw a thick black smoke coming out of the forest.

Dududud.....Bored again and pointless message!

R.D. returned an even stare to Thresh as he walked past, then turned his attention back to his companions, motioning for them to follow. "When we get to the battle zone," R.D. said in a low whisper so that only the four of them could hear, "I'll need you three to break off and search Sheena's lair for anything that might help you while the rest of us take on Sheena. We'll join you if we manage to take her down before then."

===In Japan===

"Yes," Alasea said, remembering them washing up on the island. R.D. had woken before her and was acting rather dodgy; but eventually he told the group that Ondal appeared to him again on that island. "We left back for the mainland after we found a fishing village, then we went to find R.D.'s old house. Once there, we looked around while R.D. got some stuff, then we left to find our friends. We found them; we also found Rugal Bernstein attacking them, and we joined them to stop him. R.D. got hit by his Shun Goku Satsu attack, but managed to survive it on his feet."
