Sonic

Chapter 9
Sharon of the Dragons
The Power of Love

Rose and Sonic were on there way back to the Dimension of the Dragons, but decided to stop by the moon first. They had sensed an explosion from there, and was curious to what it was. As they past through the visible range of the Hubble Telescope, Rose created a cloak shield to keep them from being detected. As they continued, they noticed Hopposia floating towards Earth, slowly, but surely he would hit the Tendo Dojo again. But to their amaze, Hopposia was able to see through the cloak shield, and went straight for Rose. Sonic stepped in front of him and delivered a "Thunder Punch" to him just as he got within half a meter. The combined push of Sonic's punch and the Clothing Curse Hopposia had sent him flying out of Terra Orbit and into Lunar Orbit. Rose looked at Sonic, "I guess I shouldn't have used the weakest cloak shield," she said smiling.

The two circled the moon several times, but couldn't find anything useful, except for a satellite named Hopposia that was still in lunar orbit. As they opened a portal that took them out of the old man's domain, Sonic turned around, and shot a g-force blast at Hopposia, which knocked him out of lunar orbit, and into a collision course with Japan. They then proceeded through the portal.

*In the Dragon World...*

A Blue portal opened up a few kilometers from the castle. Rose and Sonic walked out of it, then closed the portal. They herd a roar from the sky, and looked up to see a green shiny dragon come down to them. "So you have returned my friends," said the dragon. "Yes, we've found another shard, but we have stumbled on something that might be important," said Sonic. The dragon tilted his head, "What is this something?" he asked. Rose looked at him, "It may have something to do with Sharon," she said. The dragon paused for a moment, then looked over at a few hills; "I see, then it would be best if we talked to my blue dragon friend that is over those hills," he said. He laid down, gesturing for the two to get on his back. Sonic helped Rose on, and then hoped on himself. The green dragon lifted his wings, and took off.

When they got to the hills, there was a cave with a few water blue crystals laying out of it. The dragon then took human form, and walked with them into the lair. When they got inside, a blue dragon awoken from his nap; "Oh, I'm sorry," said the dragon with Rose and Sonic, "I didn't realize you were taking a nap." The blue looked at his guests, then yawned, "It's alright, what can I help you with." Sonic walked up, "A while back, we were told the story of Sharon Dragon, and how she fell in love with a human," he said. "Yes, I know that story better then anyone," replied the Dragon. "Could you please tell it again for us?" asked Sonic.

About 3,000 years ago, some of our ancestors decided to go explore the Quantum Matrix, to find out more about its existence. With the Aura in the Castle, we could leave our Dimension and return safely. One of these explorers was Sharon. She was a young blue dragon who set out with her father to explore their selected area. During such time, Sharon had become acquainted with a human, and slowly the two had fallen in love. The human had some powers, which enabled him to know Sharon was a dragon, but that didn't change his feelings towards her. Sharon's father on the other hand didn't approve of such a thing, saying that marriage between dimensions would be a horrible thing. So in order to stay together, Sharon and her human lover ran off, and disappeared, never to be seen again.

After the dragon said his story, Rose stepped up, "Is it possible for a Dragon and a human to have offspring?" she asked. Puzzled by this question, the blue dragon asked, "Why do you ask such a ting?" "Because I believe we found some decedents to Sharon in the Dimension where the shard pieces have been," said Sonic. The blue dragon thought about it, "It is possible if the dragon gave up his or her immortality, but it has never been done," he said. "If it was possible, would the decedents inherit any powers?" asked Rose. "Yes," answered the blue dragon, "In fact, one such power would be the ability to sense the Dragon Aura."

Rose and Sonic thought about it, "Kalshion nor Katarina have shown the ability to sense the shards," said Rose. Sonic nodded, "But if DS is in the area and knew about them, he might have done something to them," he said. The blue dragon then took human form, and landed in front of them, "There is a way to find out," he said. Rose and Sonic looked at him as he went over to one of the cavern walls that had water blue crystals on them. He pulled out a crystal. The Crystal began to glow a soft blue in his hands, as he took it over to Rose. He placed the Crystal on Rose's hand, and immediately the Crystal stopped glowing. "Sharon was a blue dragon, so her decedents should have blue dragon attributes too." he said, "Blue Dragon Crystals only glow in the hands of those who have blue dragon Attributes. We use them allot to determine if a dragon is a hybrid, and to help find family ties." The two looked at the Crystal, then back at the blue dragon, "Thank you for your help," they said. The blue dragon smiled, and then vanished.

Chapter 10
Three Thousand Slain
Souls be Free

It was a quiet clear sky night, the rain had stopped, and a calm wind moved through the shrine. Kalshion and Katarina were inside, as their father was outside watching the old shrine tree. As he watched, Joe and Emeral appeared behind him, "Hello," the said. Kalshion's father jumped a bit and turned around, it was obvious something was wrong. "Oh you startled me," he said wiping the sweet from his forehead. Kalshion had started to walk outside of the door when his father saw this. "Kalshion, you are in no condition to be out of bed," he said. Katarina followed Kalshion, "I tried to tell him," she said. Joe went over to Kalshion and lifted him up by the shoulder and aided him to the tree. "I had to, I sensed Emeral and Joe," he said in a weak voice.

On top of the shrine entrance, the golden figure appeared. He smiled at the sight that Kalshion wouldn't be able to put up a fight. "This should be an easy two dragon kill," he said to himself, "but I need to knock out that man first." He grinned as he chanted a sleep spell.

"This is no normal virus," said Kalshion catching his breath. Suddenly Katarina yelled, "Father!" as her father fell asleep. Emeral suddenly caught on to what was going on, and just as a energy beam came right at them, she jumped in it's path taking the hit. Everyone covered their eyes as the explosion took place. "Stupid girl," said the figure, "Sacrificing herself for those creators." But to his surprise, Emeral stood there fine, as a small image of a pink shield faded away. "WHAT?" yelled the figure.

Kalshion looked at Emeral, she hadn't taken a single hit of damage. He then noticed Joe staring at the trees, "He's coming," he said. Emeral nodded and pulled out a key with a rose on top with a symbole in the center of the rose. She placed it in front of herself, "Oh key that conceals the power of light, reveal thy true form before me, under contract, I Rose Command you, RELEASE!" A yellow energy circle appeared below her. The Center had an open book, with a pink rose ontop of it. Energy swarmed around Emeral as her key absorbed it. The key turned into a blue energy bar, and a Rose like flower head formed on the top, followed by a ring of pink energy that went over the blue energy, transforming it into a Wand. Emeral grabbed the wand, and took a defensive posture.

"I knew it," said Kalshion, "You two are really...." a sudden grasp of pain came from his chest, and he was no longer able to talk. Joe knelt down and placed his hand over him, "What is causing this?" he said to himself. Another energy beam slammed out of the trees and came straight for them. Emeral got in front of it, and twirled her wand like a baton. The beam hit the wand and was split into multiple directions away from the group. When the beam finished, the figure in the gold robe charged at Emeral with a special sword, used to slay dragons. Emeral blocked his blow with her wand, which sparked pink energy with every hit. Several more sword blows followed before her wand was knocked out of her hands, and into the ground. Emeral rolled her self away from his next swing, dropping the blue dragon crystal, which rolled over to Katarina.

Emeral was now cornered at a tree, as the figured approached her. She only smiled and placed out her hand. Her wand instantly flew from the ground and back to her hands, where she swung it making a pink energy wave that knocked the figure off his feet. He quickly got back on his feet and launched a beam at the group, which Emeral was no longer between to protect. Instantly Joe rushed in front of the group and blocked the blast with a Crystal like Circular Shield. The figure stepped back, "I didn't think you two actually existed," he said still walking back, "You two are Dragon Mistress, Guardian of the Dragons." He tighten his grip on his sword, knowing very well that he had to make a run for it, but he had let his guard down from behind. A pink energy blast slammed into his back, and he fell to one knee. "I won't let you," he began to mumble, "they are MINE!" he yelled getting back on his feet, but finding Joe not in front of him anymore. He looked up to see Joe in the air with his Sword out, "POE SWORD!" he yelled coming straight down. The figure screamed in fear has he braced himself for the hit. Joe came right down slicing his sword right through the figure’s body, but his body didn't split; in fact, the cut itself was not visible. The figure fell to the ground, dead.

"He was running away, why did you kill him?" asked Katarina who was a bit horrified at what Joe just did. Both Emeral and Joe's weapons glowed then returned to their key state. Joe looked at Katarina and pointed to the Figures body. What appeared to be small little white cloud puffs began to rise from the man’s body. They flew around Emeral and Joe, then proceeded to the sky, where they vanished. Kalshion's father had been counting, and counted 3,000 clouds. The figures body then vanished, like it was wiped over with an eraser. "What were those," asked Kalshion's father. Joe turned around, "Those where the souls of every dragon that hunter slain. Dragon hunters don't just kill dragons, they absorb their souls, which adds to their own power, and even prolongs their life," he replied. "The only way to set the souls free is to kill the hunter that sealed them," said Emeral walking up to them. "How cruel," said Katarina, "But why was he after us?" Joe and Emeral looked at each other, "Well, we think we know," said Emeral going into her pocket. "Uh, it's not here?" she said. Katarina pulled the crystal out of her pocket, which had a blue glow , but flickering like a bad light, "You mean this, you dropped it during your fight," she said. Joe stared at the crystal, "It shouldn't be doing that," he said. Emeral looked closely, "It's like something is blo..." she startled at the thought. "That's it!" said Joe, "That's the reason, Kalshion wasn't the only one infected with that virus, Katarina is too." Katarina looked puzzled, unsure what was going on.

*An Hour later, about midnight*

Katarina was sitting by Kalshion, who had started to recover his strength. She was holding the blue crystal which was now shining a nice light blue glow, "So what does this mean?" asked Katarina, "It only glows when Kalshion or I touch it, and not when father or you two touch it." Joe put down his cup of tea, "It means that you two are truly the decedents of Sharon Dragon," he said. Kalshion's father looked at them, "What's so special about that?" he asked. Emeral looked at the crystal, "Sharon Dragon was not human, she was a true fledge blue dragon," she said, "Which means you have inherited some powers from her." Kalshion and Katarina thought about it, though it seemed a bit shocking, "Are you saying we are dragons?" asked Kalshion. "No," replied Joe, "Sharon had fallen in love with a human 3,000 years ago, and hid in this world. In order to have children, she had to give up her immortality, making her mortal, although she retained a great deal of powers. Which means you are biologically human, but carry the soul of a dragon."

Emeral took another sip of her tea, when Kalshion noticed something, "Say Emeral, or do you prefer me to call you Rose?" he started. "Emeral is fine when I'm in this form," she said. "Ok, what is that glowing in your shirt?" he continued. Emeral eyes opened a big wider, "So you can sense them?" she asked. "Sense what?" asked Kalshion. Emeral reached into her shirt and pulled out two dragon aura shards. "These, they are shards to a jewel known as 'The Dragon Aura'," she said. "It is why we are here, it was shattered and scattered through your world." said Joe, as Kalshion and Katarina both picked up one of the shards, "We promised some dragon friends of ours to retrieve them, but due to a dark spell, we can't sense them, except through the naked eye." Emeral watched them as they examined the shards, "The Aura was said to be created several millenniums ago. It is said to contain portions of power from the dragons that have lived, and died in the dimension it came from." she said.

Kalshion handed back his shard to Emeral, then looked at the two, "Since you helped us, will you allow us to help you on your search," he said. Joe nodded, "That will be most appreciated, but with this dark spell on each shard, you have to be somewhat close to the shards before you can sense them," he said. "Just don't go out of your way, continue your normal life, and stay on the look out like we are doing," said Emeral winking at them. Kalshion and Katarina nodded.

*Meanwhile, in a dark room...

DS walked around by the fire, waiting word from his minions he sent out to find info on this mysterious person. Finally a minion appeared behind him, "Master, I found something while looking for info," he said. "This better be important," said DS getting agitated. "It is, I found the one who had led you here in the first place." he said. DS expression changed, "Go into the other room, and wait for me to give you further instructions," he said. The minion bowed than vanished. DS sat down in his black chair, and began to think.

DS was traveling through the matrix following a path of evil that he picked up. He was still recovering his strength from a massive battle in which he had lost. He followed the trail until he slammed into a barrier, blocking him from going any further. Suddenly he heard a soft, distorted voice, as though it was having trouble reaching him, "I am a prisoner here, in this void," said the voice, "I have come to learn of your existence DS, and wish to make an alliance with you." DS looked at the void, "What do you want?" he said. "I need a minion that is capable of destroying some dragons for me, in return, when I get out of here, I will help you enslave this area of the matrix." replied the voice. "And why do you want me to do such a thing?" asked DS. "Because I got a Bone to pick with....." said the voice being cut off. DS thought for a moment, and concluded it was a win, win situation. He hated dragons, and he could possibly enslave a secretive world. DS called up a minion (The same one he just killed earlier), and gave him a special virus. He ordered the minion to locate the dragons and kill them, by making it seem like a natural attack. The figure acknowledge him and stood in front of the barrier. Using a technique DS learned a while back, he puncture a very small hole inside the barrier, enough to slip his minion in, but not himself.

DS opened his eyes, "That was 6 years ago," he said looking at the fire.

After the shards blasted a nice big hole into the dimension, DS immediately looked for his minion, who he found in stasis, awaiting re-activation. DS activated him, and learned that he used a small Ki blast to blow up the shrine in which the Dragons lived. He reported one died, and the other two were infected with his virus, before he went off to stasis. DS ordered him to go check on his work, and to make sure those two dragons didn't interfere with his plans.

DS got up from his chair, and started for the door. "Perhaps this trapped fellow will have information on this mysterious character," he said to himself chuckling.
