A look of shocked horror was etched on Relayia's face as Sheena initiated her counterattack, and many of her people, despite their superior agility in the air, were struck down by the dozens, beams and blades and spikes of ice smashing through scales and knocking the dragons out of the sky, pinning their broken, bleeding forms to the cold ground and burying them in a thick sheen of nearly opaque ice, left to die beneath the frozen wastes.

Flying into a massive rage, the remaining Dragon Tribes renewed their assault, going all out against the Ice Dragons as they swept in to defend their mistress. One particularly unlucky Ice Dragon was attacked from all sides as three dragons slammed into it and tore it apart as all four plummeted. The skies, once filled with a fight for dominance, was well on its way to evolving into a bloodbath.

Her horror was cut short as the second in command of Sheena's vile forces appeared before her, streaking in from the skies to stop in front of her. Steeling herself and twisting her face into a furious frown, the young Queen of Dragons narrowed her glowing eyes at Kujo. "Then if you know me, monster," she retorted, then you'll have realized that it was an ill choice to come before me."

There was a terrible roar in the air above the two, and a female dragon clad in dark blue scales streaked from the skies, wings tucked at her sides and fangs and talons bared. Releasing another terrible cry of rage, Seril shot down at Kujo at insane speeds, intending to slam him right out of the air, even as Relayia unfurled her own wings and took to the sky, using draconic magic to teleport towards the shores.

"And we will," Seril snarled, flaring her wings out and stopping, spinning in the air to face Kujo. "Today is the day that your kind ceases to rule!"

Lashing her tail, Seril shot forward and unleashed a bolt of lightning at Kujo, irradiating the air as it tore through it towards Sheena's second in command.

The battle raging on the surface began to still as a wave of unusual power washed over them, and many a pair of draconic eyes turned their attention towards the cold ocean. There was another pulse, coming deep from the waters, washing over each and every creature present, and the members of the Dragon Tribe roared, their bellows deafening. Something black was surging up from the cold depths.

Water exploded upwards as something rose up from the water, something dark blue and gray and made of metal. Unleashing a terrible roar, a mechanical dragon burst free from the water and rocketed up into the air. Designed much like a Chinese dragon, the metallic beast was plated in dark, gunmetal gray and cobalt blue armor. Yellow optic sensors glared out from a smooth, sleek dragon’s head crowned with long, sharp horns fanning back from its cranium and large, twin fangs mounted in the front of the upper jaw and smaller twin fangs on the lower, mounted on a long neck made up of various dark gray plates and a dark blue stripe running down the top of the neck. Dark plates of armor fanned around the sides and underside of the neck, attached to an angular central body, with an identical tail opposite of it, ending a gunmetal-colored, spade-shaped blade. Four pairs of dark blue legs, identical in length, were attached to the base of the central body, each ending in large, gold-tipped talons. The metallic dragon soared upwards, propelled by twin jets of azure fire issuing out from the small thrusters mounted on the sides of the dragon’s back. Fully stretched out, the mechanical beast had an impressive length of 12.3 meters, and weighed a monstrous 143.2 tons.

Relayia’s eyes widened and flared with light, shocked at the sight of the Space Mechanoid Dragon emerging from the oceans surrounding Antarctica, loosing its vengeful roar. She had almost thought the beast to be only a legend, known only as the Secret of the Dragon Tribe.

“Tamaran!”

The metallic dragon stabilized its flight and turned its frame towards the firefight that had been raging in the airspace above the frozen continent. Loosing another roar, Tamaran rocketed forward, causing dragons to scatter as the battle raged anew. Ice Dragons were coming in to strike at the new opponent, and as the first one came, Tamaran’s neck snapped forward, its jaws closing in on the smaller body of the first Ice Dragon, trapping it within its jaws as a sudden blue light erupted from within his mouth, and the Ice Dragon screamed as its divine powers granted by Sheena were stripped away layer by layer by the power of the unreal, the Crystalis. Jaws closed down suddenly, crushing the beast, and the mechanical dragon flung the corpse away and roared in fury.

Even as the dragons tore at the ranks of the ice dragons, pushing them back while they retreated from a set path, Tamaran loosed another roar from its robotic jaws, winding through the air as it made its way towards Sheena's mountain throne. Yellow eyes flared brightly from its cobalt head, and fangs gleamed as it closed in. Gunning the thrusters mounted on his back, the Space Mechanical Dragon spun on his axis and swept its tail out at Sheena's head, then angled its thrusters downwards and shot upwards, roaring once more.

Siegfried heaved a sigh and instantly wished he had held it in. His chest ached with a feeling of having the wind knocked out of him from a train, but it hadn't broken anything or caused any real damage. Gritting his teeth, he ignored the torturous pain and moved toward one of the couches quickly. Slipping Lance off his shoulder, he gently put the boy down onto the furniture and immediately took off searching for a room that was vacant.

As Siegfried turned the corner from the climb to the second floor, he would find himself face to face with two men pointing rifles at his head. After seeing who it was, however, the men let out sighs and lowered their weapons, disarming them in the process. "Announce yourself next time, foreigner," one of them, a dark-skinned man with a thick mustache said in rapid Spanish, "And maybe next time you won't get so close to being shot!"

Tamaran rolled, narrowly avoiding the ice-encrusted backside of the Dark Goddess of the Ice Dragons, then rocketed forward, banking to the left and streaking out at Sheena, claws flashing as it passed--while its legs were shorter than the beast's neck and tail, they were no less sharp than Sheena's own claws, and gleaming with a strange light.

===

"Hmph," Re-Tuul sneered, crossing his arms. He was resting on a far-off mountain, looking out at the freed Ancient and Kuro's former minions, safe from detection with all of the snow covering his already alabaster skin. "So, Sheena's gonna have trouble after she kills that brat, R.D.. Guess I better keep them company."

"Negative," an emotionless, female voice said behind him. Turning his eyeless gaze over his shoulder, Re-Tuul stared at the winged, metal-clad woman. Red eyes stared impassively back as Eon observed the Khaglessi Patriarch. "Target is to be left unimpeded. Priorities altered to yellow status. Return to Shayol Ghul."

"Feh," Re-Tuul spat, standing up and turning towards the reactivated construct. "So, shit happening back at base, huh? Fine then."

With a flash of orange light, both Re-Tuul and Eon disappeared, leaving the mountaintop silent.

Twisting his long body around, Tamaran sensed the incoming blast after its claws left deep gouges in the ice sculpture, and blue light emanating from his mouth stopped the beam cold, as if something invisible was deflecting the beam. Turning his metal body the rest of the way to face Sheena properly, hovering upwards away from the blast and letting it shoot down into the distance.

Glaring with yellow optic sensors, the Space Mechanical Dragon let loose a low, menacing growl at Sheena, its mouth slowly opening up. Its eyes were flickering with yellow light, and finally, its mouth opened all of the way, revealing shocking contents.

With one shoed foot resting on Tamaran's metallic lower lip, R.D., his body now sheathed in a brilliant silver-blue light, had his head lowered and his right fist raised, the back of it facing Sheena. What little of the symbols showing underneath his glove seemed to be shining with white light. Devoid of his armor, R.D. stood to his full height, a confident grin on his face, staring out at Sheena.

"Missed me?"

"That's the thing about you, Sheena," R.D. said, his body still blazing with that silvery-blue light. "You always underestimated your opponents. Every time. Bahamut was weaker, yet he tricked you and lead you right into Awai and Kuro's trap. And just now, you thought me dead, only for me to come back with a power you can't even begin to fathom."

He laughed. "Face it, Sheena. This game's coming to an end, and you're going to lose."

Seril barrel-rolled out of the path of the icicle, her talons lashing out and catching it as it flew past. The dragon flung the icicle in front of her, and the ice beam fired at her struck it instead, causing the beam to fragment and fly outwards in multiple directions. With a flap of her wings, Seril flung herself high into the sky, lashing out with three condensed blasts of ball lightning at Kujo.

Seril screeched in anger as Kujo evaded her attacks and readied his own counter. Tucking her wings in, she rolled out of the way, letting the Ice Dragon zoom past, then gathered energy into her mouth, forming a perfect sphere of light. Flaring her wings out at the last moment so her body face Kujo's retreating form, she unleashed the Mega Flare as a brilliant beam of energy aimed directly at Kujo's back.

===

R.D. saw the beam come in almost as if it were in slow motion. He brought his right hand, clenched in a fist, up to his chest, readying his newfound power, that brilliant, god-forsaking light.

"Crystalis Aura!"

Behind him, brilliant silver-blue light erupted from Tamaran's gaping maw, washing out over him, nearly blinding any divine creature looking directly at it. The Crystalis filled the air and smashed into the beam, crushing it utterly, the unreal powers of the Crystalis stripping away the divine energies in the attack, rapidly weakening it until there was an explosion of force that pushed everything back.

===

He felt like he was floating, serene as the power of the Crystalis washed over him. R.D. knew now what he had to do.

I’ll worry no more. No matter who my enemy is… I am the wielder of Lumiya, and this is the proof of my courage.

“Tamaran!!!”

Light flickered in darkness, taking the form of a winged beast taking flight. Tamaran reared his head back and unleashed a terrible roar, a bright azure wave of light emanating from his back as thrusters activated and took him through the cold air. R.D. brought his right hand forward, high in the air, and synched his power with Tamaran.

”Fusion!”

He flipped over end as the energy encompassed him, and Tamaran was there, snapping sharp jaws down on the light, swallowing R.D. whole. He rose into the air as Fusion initiated, and Tamaran’s head and tail blade disengaged, separating from the neck and tail. Legs rotated and snapped straight into place, armor shifting and causing armored feet to swing into place. The portions of armor that made Tamaran’s stomach shifted at the front and the back, and the mecha dragon’s forelegs snapped together into one appendage, simultaneously with the hind legs. Various inner workings locked together to bring the arms into place, and Tamaran’s talons folded back as metallic hands emerged in their place. The armor portions above the arms shifted into place, locking over the upper arms as the entire arm units were molded back into the body.

Tamaran’s tail blade swooped in and split, settling into the gap left in the chest as the body reconfigured. Tamaran’s head followed immediately afterwards, settling snugly into the gap with Tamaran’s face forward. A metallic head, humanoid in appearance and fitted with a smooth helmet rose up instantly as Tamaran’s head settled into the chest, and yellow eyes shone on a sleek human face, framed by cooling vents on either side of the helmet. The Ao-Gem glowed in its forehead, a stylized Omega symbol blazing white within its cold blue form. The Mechanoid swung its left arm out to the side and back, bringing it up to face level, clenching its fist as the Crystalis blazed from it. Standing tall at 25.3 meters, and with R.D.’s voice as its own, he cried out his name for all to hear.

“Doragon!!!”

The pilot, R.D., with the power of the mysterious Ao-Gem at his command, has successfully performed Fusion with Tamaran, the true secret of the Dragon Tribe. With the power of the Crystalis at his command, he has evolved into the new ultimate hero, Doragon.

The Mechanoid soared through the air, his fist leading the way to end the battle against the Ice Dragons.

In a unhostile manner, Siegfried immediately raised his hands slightly to indicate that he meant the weapon holders no harm. Pushing a sweaty strand of hair out of his face, he replied in Spanish, "My apologies, friend; I'm merely looking for a place I can put my friend and get him some help. The battle is done outside, and the only thing I fear for now is the life of my friend. Can you help me? Even just the name of your healer or the direction of an empty room would be much appreciated."

Doragon's tremendous fist easily stopped Sheena's punch, and there was a thunderous crash as the two powers collided. Shoving himself backwards using the momentum of the two strikes, Doragon hovered in the air using the back-mounted thrusters.

Within a chamber of pure light, R.D. smirked, seeing everything that Doragon saw. He spoke, and his voice was Doragon's voice, their mouths moving as one. "It doesn't matter how much you no longer hold back," the Mechanoid declared, "You'll lose in the end. I wield the power of the Crystalis, and your divine might weakens before it."

Doragon spun in the air, Tamaran's claws mounted on its forearms swinging forward into place over Doragon's fists. "Crystalis Claw!" he declared, channeling the power of the unreal into them. His right claw flashed upwards at Sheena, intending to force her back, so that he could take care of her minions, the Ice Dragons.

===Argentina, South America===

"Use the room over there," the mustached man said in Spanish, pointing to a nearby door, "We'll go get the doctor."

The other man nodded, and took up his rifle before descending the stairs. Upon reaching the foyer, he spared a brief glance at Lance's prone form before exiting out of the building and moving down the street.

Edited by RisingDragon on September 30, 2008 at 15:07:39.

Doragon pivoted in the air as the first strikes came in, avoiding them with ease. As the fourth and fifth blasts came in, his left claw flashed out, smashing into them with the Crystalis-enhanced tips and knocking them back at Sheena before darting away, towards the fray amongst the Dragon Tribes and the Ice Dragons.

Dragons noticed the incoming Mechanoid and began retreating, unwilling to get in its way. Rocketing forward, Doragon stabbed its right claw at the nearest Ice Dragon, puncturing it--its entire body seemed to shatter like ice as the Crystalis Claw hit it. Doragon began speeding through them, causing dragons to cheer with tremendous roars.

If he's not careful, though, Relayia realized, watching the spectacle unfold, Sheena's forces will get the drop on him. Tamaran's power is not absolute, not like this.

But what did this mean? Relayia could only wonder why Tamaran had awakened after centuries of sleep, and lent his power to R.D.. Was the Final Rise truly on the horizon?

Doragon looked about warily as the Ice Dragons converged on his form, attacking simultaneously with a barrage of ice beam attacks. Throwing itself to the side, arms crossed over each other to shield against the attack as the beams collided with each other, Doragon quickly analyzed the situation.

R.D. grit his teeth within the chamber of light containing him, realizing he may have done something decidedly stupid again. He threw Doragon every which way as more beams streaked in from multiple angles, while ignoring the claws of the ice dragons--they couldn't get past the D-Armament the Pure C-Barrier System that made up Doragon's armor and defenses. But this was getting dangerous, and fast.

Relayia gasped in anxiety as she saw what the Ice Dragons were doing, and saw Kujo in particular zoom in to attack. R.D. detected Sheena's second in command streaking in, and Doragon quickly pivoted out of the way--and then cried out as an Ice Beam slammed into his back, knocking him forward. More beams converged, slamming into Doragon's armor from multiple angles, and R.D. growled in frustration as he brought Doragon's arms across his chest, channeling large amounts of Crystalis to avoid being frozen in midair.

He had to get out of this mess, and quickly--he was pinned down.

"Doragon!" Seril roared, unleashing another Mega Flare, only for it to get obstructed by other Ice Dragons preventing Sheena's attack to be interrupted.

"R.D.!" Relayia cried out in horror.

Doragon could see the sword closing in, and despite Sheena's size, the weapon was large and most assuredly dangerous. "Aaagggghhh!"

It happened in an instant. To all of those that had been around R.D. the night before, when the armies had slept, the words for a forgotten dream suddenly sounded in their minds: Juno's, Reckoning's, Dokuro's, Relayia's, Seril's, the Hartnetts'...

Light flickered within darkness, flashing brightly before solidifying into the outline, of a great winged beast spreading massive wings and roaring towards the heavens. Once more, the deep, ancient voice—the voice of Bahamut—spoke in their minds, but now it was heard for real of those present. Memory of that dream was once more invoked.

That which can stop the power of the divine… is the power of the unreal.

Relayia looked about wildly as she heard the voice of her father, declaring the ancient prophecy of the rise of the ultimate warrior. “What’s going on!?” she demanded. Sheets of ice gleamed in the light of the raging battle.

The unreal is the hope that can surpass impossible odds. It is the power that brings absolute victory.

R.D.’s eyes widened in shock as a new interface window appeared in front of him within the chamber of light that harbored him within Doragon. New data filled it as even more windows appeared, filling up his vision. They disappeared at once in an instant, replaced by a single new window.

Azure light blazed beneath the icy tomb of the slain dragons, the victims of Sheena’s terrible counterattack. Rays of blue light burst from the ice, piercing the cold air with a loud hum of energy. The ice shattered in an instant, breaking apart around those rays, releasing more of that shining power. The light condensed on itself as it broke free, streaking through the air from five sections of the frozen circle, each bolt aimed at the imprisoned Doragon. The five lights curved around the Mechanoid, shredding apart the dark energy that held it in bondage while created a barrier of protective energy around it. Seeing his chance, Doragon fired his thrusters and moved out of the way of Sheena’s attack, and watched as the Dark Goddess of the Ice Dragons sailed harmlessly passed him and out of range.

Seril stared with wild eyes as the five azure lights circled Doragon continuously, along the surfaces of the barrier they had created around the Mechanoid. “Is this… the real…?”

Relayia’s face lit up in joy, her eyes burning brightly. “The Dragon Spirits!”

Two of the lights converged on one another, growing in size before being scoured away to reveal a massive, linear machine.

“GaiaDraken!”

Draconic in design, the object spanned an impressive 22.3 meters in length, colored in white and cobalt, shaped in the deadly form of a Chinese dragon. Its visage incased in gold, and crowned by a set of long, sharp horns fanning back form its head, with orange optical lenses glaring from the armored casing, with jaws open and teeth gleaming. White armor lined its body, sided by four clawed talons. Dark blue ridges ran down the GaiaDraken’s back, housing the oval-shaped cockpit with a bright orange windshield between them. Heat vents rested in its sides between the legs, and ended with a sharp, pointed tail colored in cobalt.

Another two azure lights converged, increasing its size before it was scoured away to reveal a second linear form much like the first.

“AquaDraken!”

Nearly identical in design, this Dragon Spirit matched the GaiaDraken in size, weight, and color, also in the shape of a Chinese dragon. The head casing was plated in gold, and crowned with cylindrical horns with blunted ends, with three smaller horns jutting from them at slight angles, and a fanning crest resting beneath them while the mouth too rested with jaws open and teeth gleaming. The cockpit was octagonal in shape and sporting an orange windshield, housed between criss-crossing cobalt ridges that ran down its back. Heat vents also rested between the Dragon Spirits legs on its sides, and it too ended with a sharp, pointed tail colored in cobalt.

The third and final light expanded and burst away, revealing a third machine, much wider and different from the previous too.

“SkyDraken!”

Radically different from the other two, the machine spanned 28.3 meters in length, and weighed in at 258.3 tons, taking the form of a more traditional European dragon. Armored in white and cobalt, a sleek and angular head jutted forward, with a snarling maw lined with teeth and twin horns plated in brilliant gold. A sleek, orange cockpit rested between two glowing orange optic sensors. The white-armored neck was made up of several plated segments attached to the main body. Golden ridges ran parallel from the base of the neck down the body to the long, thirteen-segmented tail, tipped with a golden spade-shaped blade. Four claws, each tipped with golden talons, rested beneath the frame of the machine, and gigantic white-armored wings, made of two portions closed together into sleek, wedge-shaped triangles, were affixed to its sides, housing numerous thrusters that propelled it through the cold air.

The three Dragon Spirits swarmed and swirled around Doragon as it hovered in the air, encased in the faint blue shield that had protected it from the Ice Dragon’s attacks. Smirking as he realized the new outcome, R.D. prepared for a new battle, and he knew just how to start it.

“Alriiiiight!”

The shining blue Ao-Gem embedded in Doragon’s forehead blazed with power, the stylized Omega symbol glowing brightly as the Mechanoid lifted its arms out to its sides while hovering back in the air, the blue flame of the Crystalis issuing out from Tamaran’s maw as it spun rapidly, spraying it everywhere as the Dragon Spirits flew off.

“HYPER FUUUUUUSIOOOOOON!”

Silver light sparkled amongst blazing azure fire within the gigantic sphere of Crystalis housing Doragon, high up in the air above the frozen plains of Antarctica. To the Mechanoid’s lower left, blue flame was exploded outwards as GaiaDraken pierced through, traveling upwards, arching its back at the peak of its jump. Opposite of it, more fire erupted within the sphere as AquaDraken appeared, twisting once as it too rose into the air. Up above, flames raged upwards as the SkyDraken broke through, spiraling around in its flight as it traveled downwards, towards Doragon’s head. Tamaran’s vengeful roar echoed throughout the sphere of Crystalis, releasing a silver wave of light from its jaws as the Dragon Spirits soared above and behind Doragon, azure light shining from the middle of GaiaDraken and AquaDraken as the two machines split into two.

Doragon’s legs locked into place, its feet folding between their bridges as the two back halves of GaiaDraken and AquaDraken traveled up towards them, their hollowed insides open, undersides facing the direction of Tamaran’s gaze. GaiaDraken slipped in over Doragon’s right leg, as AquaDraken fitted over its left. Inside, various machines locked into place, linking up to Doragon’s legs as outside, the hind legs angled downwards as the tails swung up and locked into the hollowed tracks, the tips angled forwards and forming spiked kneecaps. At the base of a tails, single talons swung down, and, together with the hind legs, formed three-toed golden claws, and newly-exposed vents issued out hot steam generated by the inner workings of the machines.

Doragon’s shoulder units swung up off of the arms as they extended, its hands retracting into the wrists as the forward halves of GaiaDraken and AquaDraken approached from either side, the single ridged back panels from their middle segments angling perpendicular as Doragon’s modified arms slipped right into the hollowed chambers within the two halves of the two Dragon Spirits. More links were made in the arms, latching onto the folded arm claws of Doragon as the shoulder plates snapped down and combined with the angled plating, and the jaws of the Dragon Spirits’ head units opened up, allowing silver and white-armored clawed hands to extend forward.

SkyDraken swooped in from down below, rocketing upwards in line with Doragon’s back. As its underside ran parallel with the Mechanoid’s back, it suddenly braked as its hind legs swiveled sideways, and all four claws reached out, the forelegs latching onto Doragon’s shoulders while the hind legs latched onto its waist. The joints of the wings angled inwards and were drawn closer to SkyDraken’s body as the head unit retracted back, leveling with Doragon’s own head. Tamaran’s eyes flared brightly as all three Dragon Spirits combined with Doragon, and the helmet appeared from SkyDraken’s back and flew upwards before falling onto Doragon’s head, locking into place. Flattened white horns rose up sharply on either side, and the pentagonal Ao-Gem emerged from an opening in the forehead of the helmet, the plating ending in a sharp point as it crested backwards, identical plating beneath it and covering the back of the head. Three triangular metal pieces slid into place and locked into a single plate in front of Doragon’s mouth, and green lenses slid into place from the sides over Doragon’s eyes in a flash of emerald light, glowing brightly. All of the robot’s optical units shown as new power flooded throughout its frame, the O-Drive systems linking together and optimizing their power output.

Lifting clawed hands up in front of Tamaran’s face, prismatic energies arcing around them wildly, the titanic form clenched its hands into fists and smashed them together with a great crashing noise. R.D.’s voice erupted from its helmeted cranium as its body spun in the air, tail curving sharply as its arms raised over head, and the new titan roared its name for all to hear.

“Kishou… DO… RA… GON!!!”

Completing its spin and its mighty roar at the same time, the sphere of Crystalis exploded outwards into nothingness as its arms swung down to its sides, rays of azure light exploding from its frame and a silver ring of Crystalis spreading out Tamaran’s jaws. Steam issued from all of its heat vents as GaiaDraken’s head casing glowed red hot, the knee spikes gleamed in the sun’s light. The white horns framing its face shimmered as light struck them, the crests of AquaDraken fanned out alongside its face, and a flow of energized lightning trailed down SkyDraken’s tail. Tamaran shone and the Ao-Gem glowed brilliantly as more steam erupted from heat sinks in the helmet.

This was the greatest destroyer of gods. The ultimate shape of courage. The dragons had struggled and died for this great revealing of their most hidden secret. KishouDoragon, the mighty Drake of Braves, has been born. All anyone could do--Sheena, Relayia, Juno, Seril, Kujo, the Dragon Tribes, the Ice Dragons--was stare at the colossal metal titan before them. In their heads lingered the voice of Bahamut.

Believe in victory.

KishouDoragon reared back, bringing its right hand back, clenched into a fist. The golden head casing of GaiaDraken burned brightly, glowing an extremely hot red, sizzling the air. "Genocide... Blazer!"

Punching forward, the burning head casing jutted forward on KishouDoragon's forearm, opening up as if roaring, and suddenly exploded off of the arm, rocketing forward through the air, leaving a trail of fire in its wake. Rings of heat expanded off of the trail, melting hail as they struck them. The Genocide Blazer smashed into the Ice Dragon that had trapped it, smashing it apart and burning what was left as a great ring of fire expanded through it rapidly, leaving the projectile to fly off and curve into a second one and repeat the process. It flew in a circle, and the next three Ice Dragons managed to fly up out of the way, but the last two suffered the same fate, unable to even roar as they were incinerated to death. There was a shockwave of power from the Crystalis infused into the Genocide Blazer, and all those near were blown back by its unreal power.

The remaining three Ice Dragons wasted no time in their counterattack, unleashing immense blasts of ice energy from their maws at the Drake of Braves. Lifting its right arm up, the Genocide Blazer flew down and latched back on over its forearm, locking into place and cooling down in an instant. KishouDoragon's left arm swung out in front of its dragon-headed chest before being chambered back, and thrust forward at the beams, palm open and fingers outstretched. "Sanctum Roar!" The golden head casing of AquaDraken opened up, and the wing-like crests swung forward into a flat, shield-like projection. There was a massive explosion of noise, like a distorted roar, and a gigantic barrier of sound and energy erupted from KishouDoragon's hand, like a light-warped wall that shone with the blue light of the Crystalis.

The ice beams smashed into the wave and dissipated, the energies unwoven by the power of the unreal. The shockwave continued through the air, ever expanding, and smashed into the three Ice Dragons. They roared in pain and agony as their bodies were crushed and dissolved by the intense, Crystalis-infused soundwaves. Light flared, and soon cleared, leaving only the pristine, untouched form of the Drake of Braves.

"You foul Ice Dragons," he cried out with R.D.'s voice as its medium. It swung its right arm out with strong, deliberate movements, aiming a claw directly at the Dark Goddess of the Ice Dragons. "I... will... destroy... ALL OF YOU!"

(OOC: Ph34r my gattai, kiddies. Ph34r with great ph34r.)

Within the chamber of light, dozens of angular lines of light raced up R.D.'s limbs and torso and into his eyes, pulsing at regular intervals. His body was glowing blue with the power of the Ao-Gem flowing within him. He could feel the intense power of KishouDoragon, and he feared nothing. Standing tall at 32.3 meters, with a wingspan of 42.6 meters, and weighing a massive 685.6 tons, he felt invincible. And with that unbelievable power, the Crystalis, flowing through him, no god could ever stand before him.

===Japan===

Suddenly looking up from the table, Alasea stared with wide eyes out the window. She only saw Mercy and Maya outside, doing whatever activity that caught their fancy, but she felt something else.

Something had happened to R.D.. Something grand.

===Antarctica===

KishouDoragon stared up into the dark skies, hovering on glowing blue jets of flame from beneath its white-armored wings. His emerald green eyes stared impassively at the Dark Goddess of the Ice Dragons, and the hail pinged off of its armor, doing no harm. "Then I will teach you fear, Sheena!" R.D.'s voice roared out, KishouDoragon lifting a clawed hand up and pointing a single finger at Sheena, "And you will regret ever having laid eyes on the Dragon Tribes! I am going to destroy all of you!"

The dragons retreated, ordered by the Queen of Dragons--they knew now that this was not their fight. This was the time of prophecy, the Final Rise, in which the Drake of Braves would do battle with the Dark Goddess of the Ice Dragons. The beginning of the end had come.

KishouDoragon flew backwards, watching as the icicles grew in size as they formed around Sheena's body. Each one blasted forward at the Drake of Braves, and R.D. smirked.

KishouDoragon's left arm swung out in front of its dragon-headed chest before being chambered back, and thrust forward at the icicles, palm open and fingers outstretched. "Sanctum Roar!" The golden head casing of AquaDraken opened up, and the wing-like crests swung forward into a flat, shield-like projection. There was a massive explosion of noise, like a distorted roar, and a gigantic barrier of sound and energy erupted from KishouDoragon's hand, like a light-warped wall that shone with the blue light of the Crystalis.

The icicles smashed into the barrier and shattered, the fragments blasted backwards at their source, Sheena, as a sonic soundwave of power was launched from the Sanctum Roar like an azure wave.
