Dread, fear, shock... there were too many feelings that overwhelmed everyone for such an event, the more time passed, the more of the life´s breath disappeared from Dreik who was in his last minutes... He could only think of the fate that awaited the world.
-Light: What are you saying idiot!? Asuka, quick, help me get him back!
-Asuka: I have been trying to heal him, but I don't see any improvement, his wounds are too serious for the amount of magic I have left due to dealing with Shiko's wounds!
-Dreik: L-Listen to me…you have to promise... that you will continue to guide Shiko... it is our hope...
-Light: I'm not going to promise you anything! We must continue to instruct him together!
-Dreik: M-Mayla... it's true... she... she will be very sad... d-damn it, my mission as his royal guard was to keep her from being sad...
-Light: That's it! Remember that Mayla is looking forward to having a lifetime with you, they promised! You have to fight for it!
In the midst of despair, Dreik's body began to turn to dust, surrounded by a very warm light, like that which surrounded good-hearted guardians when they die.
-Dreik: The... the necklace I have from Mayla... This is where I used my last strength... to save the dragon core it contained, please... give it to her.
-Shiko: N-No It can't be... -I... I can't move... I can't do anything to prevent this... if it weren't my fault...
-Asuka: Damn it, my magic has been spent, and I can't continue to heal him!
Having vain attempts... after uttering such words, Dreik became only light, spreading it throughout the battlefield where they were.
After the rush of the moment, the monster who had been charged with murdering the young man, appeared in front of the young people once again, causing Dreik to explode full of anger and helplessness at the sight of him.
-Light: You!! I remember you! You're the same damn monster that took it upon himself to murder mother when you attacked this place the first time to take up the sword! You're back to continue committing your filthy acts! I'm going to take it upon myself to kill you here and now, La' Parca!
-La' Parca: This time I have come to take that young man who is weak, but with less meddlers the work will be easy for me, being so, I will gladly take your soul, young Moonrider.
-Light: Don't call me that again, you bastard! I'm going to kill you no matter what it costs me!
-Tetsu: Asuka, take Shiko to safety!
-Asuka: Understood!
While he was about to start another fierce battle against the new enemy that has appeared, in the distance were the three men, being stellar and solar who held back lunar who was full of impotence and anger, so he tried to meddle in because of what happened.
-Lunar Man: Damn you both! Let me go, I must come! Dreik!! Dreeeik! ¡No way... he can't die right now, not here, he can't... That damn man can't take my beloved away from me and then my son!
-Solar Man: I'm sorry for doing this Koru... but it is the way things should be, it is the result of the foolishness of your own offspring. Is it not, Otacon, star knight?
-Otacon: As Remy says, the truth is that this result was something unexpected, but they have been the prey of the enemy because of their own fault, they must assume the consequences.
-Koru: They don't have to bear the consequences of such an unjust death! Dreik has not...! It doesn't have to have ended this way...
-Otacon: I'm sorry brother... that's how things must happen...
-Remy: We'll hold you back hereas long as is needed, Koru... If you don't want to continue watching, you can go somewhere else...
-Koru: Damn you... if I wasn't such an idiot... not so immature, I could have avoided all this...
-Remy: Otacon... your children are on this island too, right?
-Otacon: Rikka and Yun are at the other end of the island, because of all the tremors caused by the battle, they will surely head towards the battlefield at this very moment.
-Remy: Koru... If it makes you feel better, those pair of kids will come to the rescue... So, calm down.
-Koru: …
As mentioned, at the moment that Asuka was carrying Shiko on her back looking for a safe place, she met the pair of young people who were heading to the battlefield. They all met face to face, being Asuka and Shiko the ones confused by not recognizing the people in front of them, Yun, was a young man with green hair and blue eyes, with long hair which he had tied with a ponytail that protruded on the left side of his head, having the same short stature as his companion Rikka, who had the same appearance of the young man and was almost identical, with the difference of containing finer features and two pigtails that protruded from his left and right sides respectively.
-Asuka: Where did you come from?
-Yun: I introduce myself; my name is Yun and she's my sister Rikka, we've been on this island for a while now, it's our current home. We learned that the Moonrider brothers came to train the promising young man who would save the world and that they would call us when needed.
-Shiko: Asuka... they are those young people... those who were mentioned to us...
-Rikka: That young man... from your back... he is the hero... the legendary hero... Isn't he?
-Asuka: Let's cut to the chase! There's a monster that looks very dangerous and is fighting Light and Tetsu right now!
-Yun: Light? Oh... True, he has come here too... they can take care of that fight, I'm seeing that the young man on your back looks very hurt, Rikka and I will take care of protecting you both.
-Rikka: We... we know... how fight aswell...
-Asuka: In each case that he needs protection there is me. You go help your companions!
-Rikka: Yun... I know that... you don't want to, but... we should... In this... occasion...
-Yun: Damn... But we can't leave this pair alone, they are important people too.
-Shiko: Yes-I know it's risky... but we can accompany them... I think that once I recover, I can fight too... Asuka's magic has helped me to relieve my fatigue a lot, in a short time I think I will be in a position to help.
-Yun: Ahg! Okay, join us!
-Asuka: Sure!
Reaching an agreement, the four teens decided to head together to the battlefield, where it seemed that a huge catastrophe was about to occur due to the fury of the two young teen who could not contain their helplessness for being totally useless at the time of their brother's death.
Meanwhile, in Zene's mansion, where the rest of the team was training, Alba was worried, since the absence of her best friend made her feel somewhat alone and she was looking everywhere for Princess Mayla, who apparently seemed to have disappeared. After searching everywhere inside the mansion, she decided to go out and, in the distance, she could see a stream surrounded by huge trees, Princess Mayla being under one of them. Delicately and silently, Alba approached her princess and now she got close enough, timidly she spoke words to her.
-Alba: P-Princess...?
-Mayla: Oh! Alba! You've taken me by surprise.
-Alba: May I ask why you are in this place?
-Mayla: We are in a break from training, and I wanted to rest for a while away from everything and this place seems perfect, the air and shade are very fresh and perfect.
-Alba: I understand... Aren't you worried about Shiko and the others? They have days of not showing up and the rest also feel worried.
-Mayla: From the day of their disappearance, I took it upon myself to explain that they have gone to observe the current situation of the cities and would train while they were at it... although the truth, I feel very worried since they did not dare to say a word.
-Alba: Oh... Do you think they're okay?
-Mayla: Alba... I've noticed you restless these days... you know? Since I've known you, you haven't been good at keeping secrets.
-Alba: E-E-Ehhh? I-I-I don't know what my lady is talking about...!
-Mayla: The person who could have told you about this could only have been Asuka, she is the girl you trust the most hehe... you're nervous enough to think that you've actually come to tell me about this.
-Alba: ... I'm sorry my lady, I've been hiding it... the truth is that, very early that day in the morning, a huge dragon appeared to take those who are missing to a mysterious place, Asuka has told me that it was to train Shiko.
-Mayla: I see... A dragon you say? That means... I have an idea of where they can be found... It can't be! Those idiots!
-Alba: Is something the matter, my lady?
-Mayla: They are in enormous danger! Ever since the guardians have gone crazy that island has been the lair of the one in charge of dealing with the souls of beings who have committed serious crimes, called the La'Parca!
-Alba: It can't be! And they don't know about this information?
-Mayla: As far as I understand, he uses it as a lair only to hide because he hides something in that place, because he can use his transparency to not be seen, it may be that they have never detected his presence through his wave because this is an entity capable of opening the gates of hell to disappear.
-Alba: Then it means that with their training it may be that they have disturbed the place, and this monster will attack them!
-Mayla: Even worse... they have taken Shiko to that place, being the territory of La'Parca. He can take advantage and try to take Shiko with him for whatever the demon leading the guardians is up to now.
-Alba: What can we do!? They need help right away.
-Mayla: I know a way to get there, there's no time to lose, Alba, we must go there right now!
-Alba: Y-Y-Yes my lady!
To be continued...
