The creature prepares to kill the baby when an enormous -blue dragon swoops down and drives her talons into the demon's neck. -The demon dies instantly from the attack. The dragon then changes form -into that have a young blue-haired woman... Teal: [crying] "Oh no! I'm too late! I didn't get hear fast enough to save them!" Mother: "Please... Whoever... Whatever you are... Thank you for saving my baby, but would you please follow a dying mother's last wish?" Teal: "You're not gonna die! I'll get you help! I promise!" Mother: "It's too late for me, but not for my daughter. Please, take her somewhere safe..." Teal: "Of course I will! I'll take both of you to a safe place now!" Mother: "I... can't... make... it...

Teal: "Well then, little Alyson, I guess you're with me for now... I won't let them get you like they did your mother!" * Alyson smiles at the human form of the Blue Dragon. She has bright red hair, and her green eyes seem to shine with a spirit few humans possess. Teal: "Time to find you a safe home now... Here we go Alyson... or should I call you 'Alys' for short?" --Alyson giggles at the idea of being called "Alys." She seems to like the nickname.-- Teal: "Very well then, Alys it is! Here we go!" * Teal teleports out carrying the baby with her... --Meanwhile...-- Dark Man: "Master... Your plan is working almost as expected. All of them have been exterminated except for one..." Dark God: "Good. That last one may live for now as the power it possesses will serve my purpose. Once both worlds have been destroyed in my master's name, I can dispense of her appropriately... How is the status of the mission to find the replacements for the forgotten ones?" Dark Man: "Two have been captured so far. The other two are proving very difficult to find... However, we have gained many a considerable ally in our quest, and the scientific know-how they provided is very useful..." Dark God: "Good. Zophar was a fool! I will prove once and for all that I am the most powerful of our tribe! Now, thanks to my new master, I have power Zophar could never have dreamed of having! And once my plans are successful and the last one is within my grasp I may be even more powerful than the master! Hahahahahahahah!" --The scene now switches to the central park in Dragon City, home of the annual unification festival...-- --Four people: Callie, Scott, Kyoko, and Darkside, happen to be near each other in the crowd. Near by stands Major Sage of the Unified Army, the security chief. Backstage is Zigfried, the star performer of the festival.-- --A short distance away stands a man in a hooded cloak, watching this group.-- Callie: [mumbling] "Good. They'll never find me in this crowd!" President: "Welcome to the AU 1000 Unification Festival. In honor of the 1000th anniversary of the unification of our two worlds, we have a very special show for you today!" President: "But first, I'd like to thank Major Sage of the Unified Army for heading the security for this performance. Major Sage, please take a bow." * Sage bows. "Thank you." --Nearby, one can see a bunch of cloaked weirdoes harassing the crowd. They seem to be some sort of religious cult trying to get new members.-- President: "And now, for our final act, let me present the one, the only, Zigfried!" * The President signals for Zigfried to come on stage...-- * Zigfried comes out on stage, waving to all his fans. --The crowd goes wild.-- Zigfried: "Thank you! Thank you!" Crazed fan: "Zigfried!!!!!!!!" Zigfried: "I have a special song I wrote just for tonight's occasion." --Another crazed fan throws various articles of her clothing on stage...-- Zigfried: "I hope you'll all like it as I think it fits our celebration very well." --During the hubbub, one of the cloaked freaks approaches Kyoko...-- * Zigfried signals for his band to start playing. Cloaked Freak: "Hello there miss, would you like to know about the Neo Pharosians?" * Kyoko turns to look at the person. --Zigfried's band kicks into action.-- Cloaked Freak: "Well, would you like to join us?" Kyoko: "I'm quite happy with my religion, Thanks." Cloaked Freak: "And what religion would that be?" Zigfried: "o/~ Sometimes everything goes outta control, and the world you know is bleak.... o/~" Kyoko: "I'm a priestess of Althena if you didn't notice the robes." Cloaked Freak: "Althena!? Didn't you know she's dead!?" Kyoko" "She's only dead when you stop believing in her." Cloaked Freak: "That's what they all say. Well, believe me, our god is definitely alive!" Cloaked Freak: "You sure you won't reconsider? We could use another priestess like yourself." Zigfried "o/~ You feel like you're not going anywhere, but let me tell you, you've never been more wrong. o/~" Kyoko "Hey, I'm here enjoying the concert, I don't see me pushing my religion on YOU!" Kyoko: "I'll reconsider when the worlds collide. Thanks, nut no thanks." Cloaked Freak: "Well then! I never... We'll see who gets the last laugh..." * Callie attempts to tiptoe away, not wanting to bring attention to where she is, but accidentally bumps into... Zigfried: "o/~ Cuz when you look around and all you see is darkness... o/~" Cloaked Freak: "Worlds collide huh? Hmm..." --The freak walks away.-- Zigfried: "o/~ I'll be the light by your side. Oh yes, I'll be the light by your side. o/~" Kyoko: [scoffs] "Humph, the nerve of some people." Callie: "Oof!" * ~Scott turns to Kyoko: "No kidding. You'll get used to it though. Those Neo Pharosian punks are always doing that sort of thing. They're harmless though, I think." * Callie backs away. Zigfried: "o/~ Whenever you fall, I'll be there to pick you up... o/~" * Kyoko turns to Scott. Callie: "Sorry." Darkside: "Look on the bright side the music is great here!" Kyoko: "Yea, harmless..." * Callie walks back now that the freak is gone. Zigfried: "o/~ Whenever you're in need, I'll always be there... I'll be the light by your side. o/~" --The hooded man walks towards the small group near the stage. His hood is so low you can not see his face...-- --The man takes a glance at them, and moves on.-- Zigfried: "o/~ So when you're feeling sad or lonely, you need only look up in the sky and see... o/~" * Callie figures to stop creeping and sit down. She'll blend even better like that. =) * Sage walks over to the group Zigfried: "o/~ For I'll be there high above, cuz I'll be the light by your side. o/~" --On the outskirts of the field, the Neo Pharosians continue their silly game, waving signs of their symbol around. The symbol is a strange dark blue geometric shape resembling a star or flower pattern...-- * Kyoko stares at them in contempt. Zigfried: "o/~ So if you ever doubt yourself, and you just need someone to hold you... o/~" ~Scott: "Like I said Kyoko, don't worry about 'em. They're harmless." * Sage looks at the Neos Zigfried: "o/~ You need only look at the sky; you'll find me. For I'll be the light by your side. o/~" * Kyoko looks at Scott: "Yea, But the more they turn away from Althena's light.... The harder our fight becomes..." ~Scott: "I know... Well, most of the people here on the Blue Star don't follow Althena anyway..." Zigfried: "o/~ I'll be the light by your side. Oh yes, I'll be the light by your side. o/~" ~Scott turns to Sage: "Hey, aren't you that Major guy? The security chief?" * Callie yawns quietly, and boredly sits, tapping her fingers. Sage: "Yes I happen to be him." * Kyoko looks down at the ground. ~Scott: "Pleased to meet you. The name's Scott, and this is Kyoko over here, whom I just met. She's from Lunar." Sage: "Oh hello. Nice to meet you guys." * Kyoko looks up and smiles. ~Scott: "Hey, would you stop that tapping! It's irritating!" * Darkside looks at Sage in discomfort ~Scott turns to Callie, giving her the 'evil eye.'" Callie: "Sorry, OK?" ~Scott: "OK... No problems. BTW, what's with the fangs?" Zigfried: "o/~ So if you ever doubt yourself, you need only look up at the sky and see... o/~" Callie: "I happen to be of half beast blood. " ~Scott: "Really now... I hope none of those beasts are monsters..." Callie" "And if they are??" Zigfried: "o/~ When you look around and all you see is darkness... I'll be the light by your side. o/~" * Callie returns Scott's "evil eye." ~Scott: "It's a long story..." * Kyoko puts herself between Scot and Callie. Zigfried: "o/~ I'll be the light... by... your... side.... o/~" ~Scott: "But let's just say I'm a monster hunter by profession." Kyoko: "That's enough of that, children." [smiles] * Zigfried takes a bows as the music dies down. ~Scott: "Sorry Kyoko." * Darkside claps! * Callie huffs, and leans against her chair. * Zigfried bows enthusiastically and waves at the crowd. * Kyoko claps! * Sage stands there --Suddenly, a scream is heard from the end of the field, towards the direction of the nearby slums.-- Zigfried: "Thank you! I hope you enjoyed my performance of 'Light By Your Side' and--" ~Scott turns to Darkside: "Did you hear what I heard?" * Zigfried turns towards the sound. * Darkside looks from where the sound was from... * Kyoko jumps up! * Sage checks it out Darkside: "Yep sure did..." Kyoko: "By Althena!" * Callie looks over, curiously. * Kyoko runs to check it out! * Darkside follows the action --There seems to be thousands of people running... When the crowd clears you can see that gang warfare has apparently spread from the slums and into downtown!-- * Zigfried puts his mike back on its stand, but remains on stage. * Sage tries to stop it. * Callie notices some people who were looking for her... "Perfect. Now I'm in the open..." --A large number of street gang members seem to be terrorizing the entire concert-- * Sage fights back. Zigfried: "Scheiss. It just had to happen now of all times..." * Kyoko goes to the bottom of the stage. Kyoko: "Mr. Zigfried, I think you should come with us!" * Zigfried looks blankly down at the people shouting to him from below the stage. --A knife is thrown at the stage in Zigfried's direction. In order to avoid it he jumps off near the rest of the group...-- Kyoko: "By Althena's light do I have to do everything myself." Zigfried: "Yipes!" ~Scott: "You OK there Zig? Great show by the way..." * Kyoko catches Zigfried. * Zigfried nearly trips into Kyoko. Darkside: "Hey Zig watch it looks like you may have some enemies." [smiles] * Zigfried scowls. Zigfried: "Me? Why should they be after me!" Kyoko: "Zigfried, Stay with me and I'll get you outta here." Zigfried: [sighs] "I'll try." * Callie notices that she didn't see the people who were looking for her, because the WIMPS ran away with the crowd. ;) * Zigfried bends over and slips his pistol out of a hidden pocket in his pants. --Suddenly, the group comes face to face with some of the terrorists! 3 Crackbots in the front, 3 Street Punks in the back.-- ===COMBAT!=== ===ROUND 1=== * Callie thinks of leaving, but then notices the bots....how fun to beat the gears out of them! * Darkside gets his dagger out and prepares for the battle ahead... * Sage breaths heavily.

I've gotta kill the leader of the monsters that killed my parents and find my father's armor and weapons." Teal: "I see, Scott... Well, I'm on a quest of my own, but I kinda got lost..." Zigfried: "How can we help you?" Scott: "Maybe we can help each other." * Kyoko looks at the child. Teal: "Well, I'm trying to find a good home for Alys here. Due to reasons I'd rather not get into, I doubt I'd be a good mother..." Kyoko: "Hello there... Koochy-Koochy-Coo!" * Darkside looks at the baby's red hair for a moment * Alys smiles at Kyoko Scott: "Maybe Kyoko would like that job." * Zigfried turns towards the child and his gaze hovers around it. Callie: "Hey there, little lady. You wanna be a sword fighter?" * Alys smiles brightly when she hears the words "sword fighter." Teal: "Well, I wanna make sure the parents are right for her... I mean, it's a long story..." Teal: "So, did you grab that punk's amulet? Can I take a look at it?" Callie: "Yea, I got it all right." Kyoko: "Hey, Alys, Want to come back to me to the Neo-Althena temple and learn to be just like aunty Kyoko?" * Teal holds her hand out to Callie * Alys giggles Callie: "What?" Scott: "Wait a minute here. Tell me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the Blue Dragon's name Teal?" * Alys then looks over at Callie's sword Darkside: "Awww SHES SO CUTE!!!" Teal: "Uhh, well, uhh, no! It's not Teal, it's, uhh, Tina, yeah, that's it, Tina!" * Zigfried feels a bit awkward and uncertain about how to handle a baby. Teal: "Tina's the name of the Blue Dragon!" * Scott won't even try to handle Alys. Bad memories. * Sage just stands around * Scott doesn't believe Teal, but won't say another word of it. * Teal looks over the amulet. "Just as I thought. These guys are members of the Neo Pharosians... Bad news..." * Sage agrees with Scott * GMLou says you'd better not piss Teal off if she can Dragon Tear you like that :) Zigfried: "I thought the Pharosians were just a bunch of religious zealots. Nothing dangerous." Kyoko: "These Neo Pharosians are getting on the Althena Clergy's nerves. What's going on with them?" * Sage apologizes to Teal Callie: "Hey, like those losers talking to Kyoko...I think that's her name..." Scott: "Let me guess. The Neos are trying to revive some sort of Dark Demigod, Right?" Callie: "And I thought it was just a bad pick-up line....." Teal: "That's what I thought too... However, I've been hearing rumors of a new evil that they are linked too..." * Zigfried frowns. Kyoko: "New evil?!" * Scott doesn't like the sound of this. * Darkside just stands there quietly cause he knows nothing of the NEO PHAROSIANS Teal: "Revive? Noooo... This dark god didn't need reviving. He's been plotting this since Zophar first came to the Blue Star!" Teal: "Both a new and an old evil, I'm afraid..." * Kyoko growls at the mention of Zophar's name. Teal: "I'm sure you've all heard of Zophar?" * Zigfried nods. Scott: "Just wondering, since I knew the legends of Zophar. My father had the stories in his library." Darkside: "Oh I've heard of him..." Teal: "Well... I got bad news... Its name is Nephar!" Darkside: "HUH!" Darkside: "Uh ohhh..." Zigfried: "Nephar. Hmph. That sorry excuse of a rapper mentioned him." Kyoko: "Uh, don't tell me Zophar had a brother, Teal." Darkside: "Possibly a relative..?" Callie "Ummmm....... Don't know him well.... Just from what that guy said.." Teal: "Kyoko, you guessed right..." Scott: "This is going to get ugly fast." * Sage doesn't understand a word they are saying Teal: "Nephar's Zophar's brother... And he's po'd big time!" Kyoko: "Oh Boy!" * Zigfried softly curses. * Kyoko starts pacing. Scott: "He must be pissed about his brother's death at the hands of Hiro and Lucia." Callie: "Pteh. Sounds like fun...." [sarcastically] Teal: "On the contrary Scott... There was an intense sibling rivalry between the two of them. He cheered when Zophar died as he wasn't strong enough to kill him himself..." Zigfried: "Then is Nephar weaker than Zophar?" Kyoko: "Hiro and Lucia defeated Zophar with the power of Humanity, right...." Scott: "Exactly, Kyoko." Darkside: "Yep." Callie: "I thought those were fairy tales!" Teal: "Was... This was several thousand years ago. Since that time Nephar's been training and contracting outside help. He's traveled most of the universe building his power!" Darkside: "Didn't he have a cute flying cat???" [Hiro] Kyoko: "But one question, Where did that power come from?" Teal: "Right, Kyoko." * Sage walks around impatiently * Zigfried spits out another curse. * Scott turns to Sage. This is important. Will you pay attention. Kyoko: "If we could figure out what Hiro and Lucia knew about accessing these powers, we could probably kick this Nephar's butt." Teal: "They aren't fairy tales Callie... As for where that power came from, I don't know. He is MUCH older now than Zophar was even when Hiro and Lucia defeated him." * Sage apologizes * Darkside nudges Zig "Don't curse in Teal's...I mean Tina's presence." Scott: "Well, the power of humanity comes from our ability to believe in ourselves, Kyoko." * Zigfried whispers to Darkside. "Sorry. But this isn't the greatest of news to be hearing." Teal: "You're right about that Scott..." Callie: "I believe we may be getting very deep in this...." * Darkside says back "No shi.. I mean ahh nevermind... " Kyoko: "Callie, We already are in deep!" Teal: "Well, you just might be... However, I got a proposition for you all..." Scott: "We're already in this, so let's go after Nephar. This sounds like the chance I was waiting for." * Zigfried chuckles lowly. Kyoko: "My guess is that Nephar already knows of our existence now..." Kyoko: "And that we oppose him..." Zigfried: "Why should Nephar care about us in particular?" Scott: "That's an understatement." Callie: "Yea, I know." Teal: "I doubt that Kyoko... However, as long as Alys is nearby, Nephar is a threat." Teal: "He wants to kill Alys!" * Kyoko looks at Teal. Darkside: "I'm in for a good brawl count me in..." Zigfried: "Teal, why?" Darkside "WHY!?!?!" Scott: "Could it be that we're destined to be the next heroes of Lucia?" Callie: "Well who'd wanna kill a cute little lady like that?" Kyoko: "I will protect Alys with my life!" Darkside: "She's just a baby" Darkside: "Me too" Teal: "Well... She's sorta, special..." Zigfried: "How so?" Darkside: "How special?" Teal: "Thanks!" Callie: "Yea... She looks like fightin' material..." Scott: "I'll fight to protect her. Count me in." Teal: "You familiar with Dragonmaster Lou?" * Zigfried nods. Scott: "I've heard the legends." Teal: "There's a good reason for that Callie..." * Darkside nods too Sage: "I AM" Kyoko: "Yea, I know of Lou." Callie: "Yea, I love the stories of Dragonmasters!!" Teal: "It's no legend... Anyway, Dragonmaster Lou just so happened to have married the daughter of Lucia and Hiro, Diana..." Scott: "Let me guess. Alys is a direct descendant of Dragonmaster Lou?" Teal: "Not just any Scott, the LAST descendant!" Zigfried: "The last...?" Scott: "Oh, I get it." * Kyoko gasps real loud! Teal: "Yes... The last... The last descendant of Lucia and Hiro as well..." * Zigfried is amazed. Scott: "You're telling me that she's the last descendant of Lucia and Hiro?" Teal: "For the past five centuries, his family has died in mysterious accidents, slowing reducing their numbers down to just her." Callie: "Ha! and she's gonna be a Dragonmaster!?! A FEMALE ONE AT LAST!! YA HAA!" Teal: "Scott, yes... They only had one daughter..." Scott: "Well, that settles it. I'm in this fight for the long haul. Count me in." Teal: "Callie, don't count your flying cats before they're hatched..." Zigfried: "Accidents? Or has Nephar been planning those?" Kyoko: "I would fail Althena if I didn't pledge my loyalty to this youth, I'm in." Teal: "Well, at first it was thought to be bad luck. You see my, uh, family has been watching over their family forever..." Teal: "Well, not quite forever, but recently I caught some of Nephar's flunkies as they killed Alys's parents." Zigfried: "I see." Teal: "Yep... So, anyway, here's the deal. Turns out the NP's have their headquarters up in Redmond... I need some people willing to check it out for me while I watch over Alys. You game?" * Zigfried sighs. Zigfried: "I guess we are!" Scott: "Well, that settles it. I'm in this fight for the long haul. Count me in." Darkside: "Sure" Kyoko: "If its Althena's will, I accept!" Sage: "OK" Teal: "Let's go then. There should be a teleport station that'll take us pretty close to Redmond nearby here!" Scott: "But, we'll need better weapons if we're gonna face the Neos." * Callie sighs and says "Well, I wouldn't usually, but I'd hate to see the only female Dragonmaster-to-be killed by some wacko pharos..." * Zigfried wishes he had his claws with him. Teal: "Don't worry, they've got some nice stuff up in Seattle, which is where we're going!" * Scott wishes he had his father's crimson sword. Kyoko: "I hear its nice up there this time of year." --Teal leads the party out of the Dragon City slums...-- Teal: "By the way, I suggest you take advantage of the free public hospital before we go up to Seattle." --Teal points at the nearby hospital.-- Scott: "You don't have to tell me twice." * Kyoko hobbles in. Darkside: "Can't we just go to a shrine hospitals scare me..." * Scott limps in. Teal: "Well, Althena's Shrines are pretty rare here on the Blue Star" * Zigfried looks around for that Althena Statue he saw earlier. Scott: "I think I've seen one in this whole world in my travels." Doctor: "Welcome to the Dragonmaster Alex II Memorial Hospital. How can I help you?" Callie: "Yea, well I have no phobia of hospitals.." * Zigfried doesn't go in the hospital. Darkside: "Hospitals are the one thing that scares me but I will go in " Scott: "Yes, I need the works in medical care. That last fight took a lot out of me." Teal: "Get in there Zig!" * Darkside sees a patient's ass hanging out of his little robe... he chuckles Kyoko: "I request medical attention." Teal: "Oh, the fame thing... Uhh, here... Put this on." * Scott calls from inside: "What's wrong Zigfried? Scared of just a few injured people? --Teal gives Zigfried some dark sunglasses that sufficiently mask his identity.-- * Zigfried accepts the glasses and puts them on. Doctor: "OK, this your whole group?" * Zigfried goes inside. Scott: "I guess so." * Callie nods. * Darkside looks at Zig and laughs... Kyoko: "Yes." Doctor: "Nope, one straggler. OK, that'll cost, oh yeah, this is a free hospital... OK... Just sit in the waiting room over there please..." * Zigfried glowers and looks like he could slug Darkside right about now. -- A nurse leads the group into the nearby waiting area.-- Darkside: "I hope he doesn't make me turn my head and cough" * Kyoko waits. ===Session End===
