style='mso-tab-count:1'> Alex sat on a rock near the stream
in his hometown of Burg. He reminisced
about the past few days in his head. We
finally defeated Ghaleon once and for all.
I freed Luna from his sp and and we all escaped safely.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Kyle and Jessica stayed in Meribia where
they’ll probably going to get married; Nash and Mia are helping her mother
rebuild Vane, and then, there was Luna.
Alex smiled as he thought of his childhood friend and sweetheart.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna was always there for him, and she cared
about him. Alex remembered how close he
came to losing her many times. Each
time, he was able to rise to the challenge and rescue her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He was not going to lose her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex knew that he loved her very much, but
he never told her outright. Alex jolted
as someone touched his shoulder.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Hi Alex,” said a familiar
voice. Alex smiled as his companion sat
down next to him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Hi Luna,” he replied.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna stared at him with worried eyes.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, are you all right?” she asked
sweetly. Alex looked into her eyes and
smiled.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Yes, Luna, I’m fine,” and he gently
squeezed her hand. “I was just
remembering our adventures together that’s all.” Luna flushed slightly as he took her hand but smiled at him
tenderly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, there’s something that you’re
not telling me,” she said curtly. Alex
grinned; Luna knew him too well. Alex
moved closer to her and placed his arm around her shoulders.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna was surprised by his actions but
relaxed and laid her head on his shoulder.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I was just thinking about how I
almost lost you,” he said sadly and tightened his arm around her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna could tell that he was deeply troubled
by what happened to her.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, I’m fine; you saved me from
Ghaleon’s spell, remember?” she teased.
Alex didn’t respond but just held her.
Luna looked up to see a sad, hurt expression on his face.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Alex, I’m sorry, I…” her voice trailed off
as she started to cry. Alex turned her
face to his and gently wiped her tears.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna don’t cry; you don’t have to
apologize. I just wanted to let you
know that I’m glad that you’re safe,” he said softly. Luna smiled at him and buried her face in his shoulder.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex gently held her until she calmed down.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna, may I ask you a favor?” he
said quietly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “What is it?” she asked.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Would you let your hair down?” he
said shyly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Why?” she urged on.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Well, I mean, you look beautiful
regardless of what you wear, but you look exquisite with your hair down!” he
finished and blushed bright red. She
looked at him with loving eyes. She
untied her scarf and let her hair cascade down her back as she leaned on his
shoulder. Alex ran his fingers through
her long, blue hair and gently kissed the top of her head.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna sighed in contentment as she laid her
head on his chest. Alex tilted her chin
up and looked in her eyes. He gently
stroked her cheek and felt the softness of her skin. Luna purred softly in her throat. Alex bent down and lightly kissed her lips.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna froze where she was; his lips were
electrifying as they brushed hers. Alex
broke the kiss and saw the surprised expression on her face; Alex suddenly
realized what he just did. He quickly
released her and stepped back in shame.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I’m sorry Luna; I shouldn’t have
done that. My apologies.” He turned
around and walked away with his head down in shame. Luna saw remoremorse in his eyes when he looked at her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna didn’t mind that he had kissed her; she
actually liked it, but she was just surprised by it.
Late
that evening, Alex still hadn’t returned so Luna wto lto look for him; she knew
exactly where he would be.
Alex
sat beside Dyne’s monument and pounded his fist into the ground.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Why?
Why did I have to do that? How
could I do that to her? Luna is my best
friend, and I betrayed her! She
probably hates me!” he sulked.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I could never hate you, Alex!” came
a voice behind him. He turned around to
see Luna smiling at him. He also
noticed that she still had her hair down, and the light from the Blue Star was
making her looked absolutely heavenly.
Luna sat down next to him and took his hand.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I’m sorry, Luna; I shouldn’t have
kissed you,” he said quietly. Luna
tilted his chin up to look him in the face.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, I’m not upset that you kissed
me; you just took me by surprise,” she said with a smile.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “You mean that you’re not mad!” he
said brightly. She shook her head.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “D-do you mind if I kiss you now?” he
asked. Luna smiled at him and shook her
head. Alex bent down and lightly kissed
her lispanspan style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He wrapped his arms around
her waist, and Luna wrapped her arms around his neck. Alex snaked his tongue into her mouth and tasted her
sweetness. Luna returned his
ministrations whole-heartedly. Alex ran
his hands through her long hair, and Luna moaned into his mouth.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna pushed forward, and Alex fell onto his
back as he broke the kiss. Luna crawled
on top of him and grinned at him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “You’re good at this, Alex!” she
quipped.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Thanks. So are you, Luna!” he retorted.
He suddenly became serious and cupped her face in his hands.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Luna, I want to you that I-I-I love you,”
he said softly. Luna eyes shimmered as
he spoke.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh Alex, I-I love you too,” and she
hug him fiercely. Alex kissed her
hungrily as he tasted her sweet mouth.
Luna tentatively let her hands roam over his chest, and Alex moaned into
her kiss. She reached for the buttons
on his shirt and unfastened them. Alex
was surprised by her forwardness and gently took her hands.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna, w-what are you doing?” he
asked nervously. Luna gave him a sultry
smile.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Something, that we both want, and I
think that we’ve wanted for a long time,” she said softly aisseissed him tenderly.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex shut-up and gave himself over to
her. Luna slid off his shirt and ran
her hands over his broad chest. Luna
cooed when she saw how the latest adventure had caused Alex to fill out quite
nicely. Alex moaned as Luna slowly
tortured him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh Luna,” he moaned into her
hair. Luna removed her vest and took
hold of his hands. She gently placed
them on her breasts and sighed. Alex
gently massaged her bosoms as Luna moaned in pleasure; she could feel something
warm and hard pressing against her stomach.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, could you help me?” she cooed
softly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “With what?” he asked puzzled.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna grinned wickedly at him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “My dress, silly!” and she bopped
him on the nose. Alex’s eyes widened at
her statement, but he made no protest.
He helped her slide her dress over her head and stared at her now naked
form.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh Luna, you are so beautiful!” he
said lovingly. He placed his hands on
her breasts and kneaded them gently.
Luna moaned in pleasure and rocked her hips against him.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex raised his head and captured one her
little nipples in his mouth and suckled gently. Luna writhed on top of him as he milked her breasts
lovingly. She unhooked his pants and
slid them down. She could feel his hard
shaft pressing against her stomach.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, I want to finish this,
please,” she said nervously.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Are you sure?” he asked concerned.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Yes, Alex, I want to be yours and
yours alone!” she said lovingly. Alex
positioned himself at her entrance and gently pushed into her tight
opening. He pushed further inside and
came to a barrier. He stopped and
looked at Luna.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I-I can’t get in too far,” he said
nervously. Luna smiled at his
gentleness.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Just a second, Alex,” she
replied. Luna sat up and raised her
hips; she brought her weight down, and Alex drove into her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She cried out as he took her virginity.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna, are you all right.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I’m sorry if I hurt you!” he said
sadly. Luna smiled lovingly at him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I’m all right; it only hurts the
first time. Alex, please, I want us to
finish this,” she said and stroked his cheek.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “All right, Luna, but tell me if I’m
hurting you,” he advised. Luna nodded
and slowly began to rock against him.
Alex gently thrust into her as he kissed her passionately.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh Alex…” she moaned over and over
as he thrust into her young body. Alex
lost all sense of reason as he penetrated into her tight opening.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> They moved together slowly, gently making
love to one another- the Dragonmaster making love to his beautiful
goddess. Suddenly, everything came to a
blistering climax. “ALEX!” Luna moaned
as her pleasure exploded. Alex
completely lost himself in her climax.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “LUNA!” he answered her as he
erupted inside her. Luna collapsed onto
his chest, and Alex gently stroked her hair.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh Alex, that was wonderful!” she
said as she kissed him. Alex smiled at
her lovingly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna, you were the amazing one!” he
replied with a smile. He helped her get
dressed and quickly tossed on his clothes.
“Come on, let’s go home!” he said as he put his arm around her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna leaned on his shoulder.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex looked into her eyes.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I love you, Luna!” he said with all
his heart.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I love you too, Alex!” she
answered. They gently kissed and walked
back home.
When
Alex and Luna walked in, they noticed that everyone was already asleep.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> They walked upstairs, and Alex kissed her
goodnight. Luna took his arm as he
walked to his room.
she asked hesitantly. Alex smiled
tenderly at her.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Sure, Luna!” he said sweetly.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Lunnt int into her room to change into her
nightgown, and Alex walked into his room.
He removed his armor and items’ pouch and turned down his bed.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He was just getting into bed when Luna
opened his door and came in. He offered
his hand, and she slipped under the covers.
Luna snuggled up to him and laid her head on his chest.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex stroked her hair and kissed the top of
her head.
style=-tab-tab-count:1'> “Goodnight, my beautiful goddess!”
he said into her hair. Luna smiled and
snuggled closer to him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Goodnight, my handsome
Dragonmaster!” she answered him. Alex
tightened his arms around Luna and fell into peaceful slumber.
The
next morning Alex’s mother opened his door to wake him up and smiled at the
scene in front of her. Alex was
sleeping peacefully with Luna snuggled in his arms. Her head was lying on his chest, and Alex had his arms wrapped
around her. Alex’s mom quietly closed
the door. “They always did look good
together,” she said quietly and smiled.
She silently walked downstairs, and let the young couple sleep.
style='mso-tab-count:1'>
Alex
woke up the next morning to see Luna sleeping on his chest.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Heled led tenderly and held her close.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna slowly opened her eyes to see Alex
smiling at her.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Good morning, Luna,” Alex said
softly. Luna smiled at him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Morning, Alex,” she replied.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> They got out of bed and quickly
dressed. Alex’s mom grinned as they came
downstairs, but she decided not to say anything about finding them sleeping
together.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna, what are you doing today?”
she inquired.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I’m going to visit Quark today; he
asked to see me so I’m going to his cave,” she replied.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex immediately became protective.
style='mso-tab-c:1'>:1'> “Luna, do you mind if I come with
you?” he asked. Luna glared at him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “What for?” she said curtly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I need to give Quark back the white
dragon wings, remember?” he countered.
Luna groaned and conceded.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh, all right,” she groaned.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex smiled inwardly; he knew that the path
to the White Dragon Cave was not safe, and he was not going to let Luna get
hurt.
Alex
and Luna walked along the path towards Quark’s cave. Suddenly, a group of bandits jumped out in front of them.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Two grabbed Alex, and two more grabbed
Luna. Their leader stepped forward.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Well now, what have we here?” he
cackled. Alex glared at him.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> The leader saw Luna, and a cruel smile
crossed his face.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Hello, missy.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Hey boys, we’re going to have some fun
tonight!” he said cruelly. He grabbed
Luna and groped her maliciously. Luna
looked at Alex with tears in her eyes.
Alex’s temper snapped. He flung
off his captors and unsheathed Althena’s sword.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Let her go!” he roared.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “And if I don’t?” the leader
retorted.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “You will all die today!” Alex
shouted. All of them laughed
menacingly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Sure, little boy!” and the leader
bent down to kiss Luna. She snapped her
head away, and he cruelly slapped her onto the ground.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Something inside Alex snapped.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “THAT’S IT!!!style="mso-spacerun: yes"> DRAGONMASTER POWER!!!” Alex ordered.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> A red and white cyclone surrounded him.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> As it died down, he was garbed in his full
Dragonmaster armor; and his eyes burned with a fiery rage.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> The bandits backed away in fear.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Y-you’re the Dragonmaster!” the
leader said in utter fear. He dropped
to his knees. “P-please, I’m sorry; I
didn’t mean it really!” he begged pitifully.
Alex’s expression never wavered.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “You’re not sorry at all!style="mso-spacerun: yes"> You’d rape any woman that you could get your
slimy claws on! It ends now!style="mso-spacerun: yes"> RED DRAGON RAGE!!!” he commanded.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> A massive wall fire came down and consumed
all twelve men as they screamed in agony.
Alex walked over to Luna and cradled her head in his lap.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Her face was bloodied, and she was a pale
white.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “A-Alex?” she said softly through
half-opened eyes.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Just a minute, Luna.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> BLUE DRAGON HEALING POWER!!!” Alex
ordered. A blue aura surrounded Luna
and restored her health. Luna sat up,
and Alex hugged her. Luna was shaking
with fear over what just happened.
“Luna, are you alright?”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I-I think so.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex, thank you for saving me,” she said
tenderly. Alex smiled at her and
powered down out of his armor. He
helped Luna to her feet and cupped her face in his hands.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I will always protect you,
Luna. I love you!” he said tenderly and
kissed her.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “, I , I love you too!” Luna sighed
and returned his kiss with a passion.
Alex hugged her gently. They
continued on towards their destination with Alex’s arm wrapped around her
shoulders.
Alex
and Luna arrived at Quark’s cave and walked inside. The old dragon smiled at his young friends.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Hello, young ones,” his voice
bellowed. Alex and Luna smiled at the
white dragon.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Hello, Quark,” Luna said
happily. “You asked to see me,” she
continued.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Yes, Luna, I’m glad that Alex came
as well because this has to do with him as well,” Quark stated.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “What do you mean?” Alex asked
puzzled.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “When you two combined your powers
to restore Lunar, there were some aftereffects of the process.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex, did you notice how you could still use
your Dragonmaster powers?” Quark asked.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Yes, I thought that both myself and
Luna gave up our powers,” Alex responded.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, what really happened is that
you ended a cycle. Althena’s power that
resided inside Luna has left her body permanently, but she still is partially Althena.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna is Althena reborn as a human, but now,
she doesn’t have her powers anymore.
But, you still have your duties as the Dragonmaster,” Quark explained.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “What duties?” Alex asked.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “The Dragonmaster is Althena’s
bodyguard and champion; he is the one who is responsible for protecting her and
making sure that her powers are not abused.
You fulfilled one of your duties when you stopped Ghaleon from abusing
Althena’s power, but you are still responsible for protecting Luna.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> You kept your powers in order to keep Luna
safe,” Quark finished and grinned at the young couple.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex and Luna looked at each other and
smiled tenderly. Alex took her hand and
squeezed it gently.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I understand Quark; I will do my
best to carry out my duties,” Alex replied firmly. Quark nodded at the young man.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, you have accepted your
destiny, and now, myself and the other dragons shall give you a gift.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Step forward, Dragonmaster!” Quark stated
loudly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I understand.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> DRAGONMASTER POWER!” Alex ordered and
summoned his armor. He stepped forward
towards the white dragon.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex of Burg, our time has passed;
we are no longer needed in this time; therefore, we shall give you our power to
protect this world and the goddess,” Quark stated. He raised his head and let out a mighty roar.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Several r ror roars filled the cavern, and
Alex recognized them as the Blue, Red, and Black Dragons’ roars.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> A bright white light appeared above Alex’s
head; it shot into his body, and Alex jumped in surprise.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He screamed as a raging fire burned in his
veins; it finally stopped, and Alex bent over to catch his breath.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “It is done, Dragonmaster; you now
possess the power of all four dragons and the goddess as well; use them to
protect this planet, and the ones you love,” Quark ordered.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex unsheathed his sword and drove it into
the ground.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I, Alex of Burg, swear on the Sword
of Althena to protect this planet from evil and to protect Luna from any
danger,” he said firmly. The sword
glowed brightly at Alex’s words, and he could feel the power burning his
hands. He placed the sword back in its
sheath and sighed.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Well done, Alex,” Quark said
proudly. Luna walked up behind him and
kissed his cheek.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Thank you, Alex,” Luna said
tenderly. Alex blushed and powered down
out of his armor. Quark grinned at the
young couple. He gazed outside and
noticed the sun was setting.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, Luna, you must hurry; the sun
is setting quickly,” Quark advised.
They nodded and walked out. Alex
stopped short when he remembered something.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh Quark, I needed to give you the
white dragon wings back,” Alex said.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Keep them, Alex, you’ll need them
sooner or later,” Quark answered. Alex
nodded and walked out with Luna at his side.
Alex
and Luna knew they wouldn’t reach home in time so Alex set up the tent he
brought, and Luna built a small fire for them.
Alex pulled out the food he brought and handed some to Luna.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> >He >He sat down next to her, and Luna leaned
against him. Luna shook out her hair
and leaned into Alex’s chest. Alex
stroked his fingers through her long hair, and Luna purred softly.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex wrapped his arms around her and held
her gently as the fire glowed in front of them. Luna turned her head to look at him and smiled as Alex’s eyes
shone down at her. Luna tilted up her
head towards his; Alex caught on and bent down towards her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He lightly kissed her lips, and Luna melted
into his arms. She turned around and
wrapped her arms around his neck. She
deepened the kiss, and Alex greedily returned her ministrations.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna pushed him onto his back and lay down
on top of him. Alex held her close as
he drank from her sweet mouth. Luna
broke the kiss and looked into his eyes.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex?” she asked gently.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Yes, my beautiful goddess,” Alex
answered tenderly. Luna blushed at his
compliment.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, w-would you make love to me
again?” Luna asked nervously. She
almost fainted at the tenderness in his eyes.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna, all you had to do was ask,
all right; I just don’t want to rush you,” Alex said and stroked her cheek.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “No, Alex, I really want to make
love to you again, but I’m just too nervous to say anything,” Luna
explained. Alex smiled and kissed her
passionately. Luna moaned into his
mouth and unbuttoned his shirt. She
trailed her hands over his chest and down his arms as Alex groaned into her
mouth. Luna sat up, and Alex helped her
slide her dress off. Alex gazed in awe
at Luna’s naked form.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna, you are so beautiful,” he
said lovingly. Luna smiled and kissed
him. Alex ran his hands up and down her
back as Luna molded her body to his. He
gently cupped her breasts in his hands and massaged them gently.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna unbuckled his pants and slid them off;
she moaned as his hard shaft brushed her opening.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, please,” she pleaded.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex nodded and gently slipped inside
her. Luna arched her back as her body
was racked with pleasure. Alex thrust
into her, and Luna moaned as she writhed on top of him.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Oh Alex…yes…oh…yes…more…please…yes…
oh…Alex!” Luna moaned as her pleasure erupted.
She kissed him hotly as her orgasm racked her young body; Alex almost lost
control but regained it and continued pleasuring her. He sped up his movements, and Luna screamed in ecstasy.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex gently pinched her nipples, and Luna
bucked wildly on top of him. She rode
him harder and harder as her need consumed her; Alex increased his movements
and drove deeper and deeper inside Luna.
He gave one more deep thrust, and Luna screamed his name in ecstasy as
her orgasm racked her body. Alex lost
himself in her climax and answered her cries.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Luna!” he moaned as he erupted
inside her; Luna moaned his name as liquid fire filled her insides.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna collapsed on his chest, and Alex
wrapped her in his arms.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh Alex,” Luna said huskily.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex kissed her softly and stroked her
sweaty cheek.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Shh, Luna, no words are necessary
for how wonderful that was; except, I love you,” he said softly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, I love you too,” Luna
answered him. Alex tucked her head
under his chin and pulled hiankeanket over her body. Luna snuggled up to him and purred into his chest.
style='mso-tab-coun> > “Goodnight, Luna,” Alex said into
her hair. Luna nuzzled his chest in
response.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Goodnight, Alex,” she replied and
fell fast asleep. Alex looked at the
stars shining above them. He grinned
when he saw them literally wink at him and Luna. He tightened his arms around her and joined her iacefaceful
slumber.
Alex
and Luna arrived back at Burg the following morning. Alex’s mother greeted them warmly, and they both smiled at her.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Go ahead, Luna, I’m going to go
look for Nall; I’m sure he’s getting into mischief somewhere,” Alex quipped.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Luna giggled, nodded, and gently squeezed
his hand. Alex let her go and went to
find Nall. He had a feeling of exactly
where to find him.
Nall
lick his lis hes he stared at the juicy fish in front him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Gotcha!” Alex shouted.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Nall almost fell off the barrel that he was
sitting on.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex…” Nall said nervously, “…how
was Quark?” he finished. Alex grinned
at his friend.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Nall, when will you learn not to
steal fish?” Alex groaned.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Oh Alex, but I’m hungry,” Nall
groaned.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Come on, Nall, my mom’s making
lunch; besides, Luna will get mad if we’re gone too long,” he stated.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Nall conceded and flew over to Alex’s
shoulder. Suddenly, a scream rang out
from the other side of the village.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “What was that?” Nall gasped.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I don’t know; come on, let’s go!”
Alex ordered. They ran in the direction
of the noise and saw a large crowd gathered around Alex’s house.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex pushed his way through the crowd to see
his father holding his mother in his arms.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Dad, what happened?” Alex gasped.
style='mso-taunt:unt:1'> “I don’t know, Alex, but you’re
mother is hurt very badly,” he sighed.
Alex turned to face the villagers.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Nall, give me room,” he
ordered. Nall understood and lifted off
his shoulder.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Everyone, please, move back!” Nall
advised. The villagers conceded and
stepped back.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, what are you doing?” his
father asked.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Watch and see,” he stated.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex unsheathed Althena’s sword and raised
it into the air. “DRAGONMASTER
POWER!!!” he shouted. Alex’s father
watched in awe as a red and white cyclone surrounded his son.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> When it died down, Alex was garbed in his
full battle armor. He walked over to
his parents and kneeled down. He gently
touched his mother’s forehead.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, can you help her?” his father
asked. Alex only nodded.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “BLUE DRAGON HEALING!” he
commanded. A blue aura surrounded his
mother’s body, and her wounds began to disappear. She slowly opened her eyes to see her husband and son smiling at
her.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex,” she groaned.
“Mom, are you alright?” Alex
asked. She slowly sat up.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Yes, I’m fine, but Luna…” she trailed
off trying not to cry. Alex felt all
the blood drain out of his face.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Mom, what about Luna?” he almost
demanded.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Some hideous horned creature took
her and disappeared; I couldn’t stop him,” she said sadly.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Anger welled up inside Alex; he knew exactly
what his mother was describing. He
stood up and nearly growled.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Damn them!” he hissed.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, do you know who took her?”
his father asked.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Yes, the Vile Tribe!” he
growled. “They said that they wanted to
change their ways, but obvly, ly, they lied to me.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “We didn’t lie to you, Alex,” a
familiar voice stated. Alex spun around
as he recognized the voice, and Phacia appeared in front of him.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Where’s Luna?” he demanded.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I don’t know, Alex,” she
replied. Alex pointed his sword
directly at her.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “The hell you don’t, Phacia; a
member of the Vile Tribe took her, and you’re their leader; so, spill it!” he
ordered.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, the Vile Tribe didn’t take
Luna; Ghaleon did!” she answered.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “What? Ghaleon’s dead!” Alex fired back. Phacia shook her head.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “No, he isn’t, Alex.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> You and your friends defeated him, but when
you went after Luna, he was able to escape from you. Now, he’s regained his strength and wants revenge.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He’s still going after Luna because he still
thinks that she is Althena. He placed
members of the Vile Tribe under a spell to control them,” she explained.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Damn him; Luna doesn’t have her
powers anymore,” Alex replied.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Ghaleon doesn’t know that; he’s
trying to finish what you stopped,” Phacia answered. Alex’s eyes flashed with pure rage. Phacia almost stepped back at the fire raging in his eyes.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I know where he is!” Alex stated.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Where?” Phacia stated.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “The place where he built up his
power originally- the Frontier,” Alex answered.

style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Of course, it was the only place he
could go unnoticed by the world,” Phacia added.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Nall!” Alex shouted.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “I need you to take me to Meribia!”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “What for?” Nall asked.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I’m going to need the whole team
for this; we need to find them all- Kyle, Jessica, Mia, and even Nash,” Alex
replied. Nall nodded and
transformed. Alex jumped onto his back
and turned to Phacia.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Phacia, do me a favor; try to find
out exactly where Ghaleon is, but don’t put yourself in danger to do it,
understand?” he ordered.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Yes, Alex, I’ll do my best,” Phacia
replied. Alex and Nall flew off towards
Meribia.
In
Meribia…
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Kyle, you’re dead!” Jessica
roared. Kyle dodged the pot his fiancé
threw at him and backed away.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Come on, Jess, I didn’t do on
purpose; it was accident!” he fired back.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> acciaccident!style="mso-spacerun: yes"> You dumped flour in my hair, you moron!” she
roared. Before Kyle could retort, a
knock was heard at the door. He and
Jessica walked over to see who it was; they opened the door to see Alex and
Nall standing there.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Alex, buddy, it’s good to see you!”
Kyle said in relief. Jess’s temper
softened, and she smiled at her friend.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Hello, Alex, it’s been awhile,” she
said warmly. Both of them were
surprised to see an unfamiliar coldness in Alex’s eyes.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Guys, I need hel help; Ghaleon’s
taken Luna again,” he said flatly. They
both gasped, and Alex quickly explained.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Let’s go, Alwe bwe beat Ghaleon
once; we can beat him again,” Kyle said confidently. Jessica just rolled her eyes at him and followed him out.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Alex ran to the end of Black Rose Street and
grabbed Nash and Mia. They all hopped
onto Nall’s back and headed out.
Nall
approached the Frontier and touched down.
They stood at the base of a small fortress.
