30: The Message

-Silica, District One-

Tenn, Yamato, and Ryuu were hoping the thick dust would clear out quickly so they could see what happened to everyone through the laboratory screen. The three knew the dragon definitely crashed. The rock-shattering noise was horribly loud. The three came to a complete standstill. No, they weren't calm. They just did not know what to do next.

At the actual location, Tamaki's body went through the rock surface, creating a large cavity. His belly dug through the hard ground. He was groaning, but he didn't budge.

When the dust finally cleared out, "Huh?" Yamato's glasses dropped to the tip of his nose. His mouth was open wide.

"Where's everyone?" Ryuu asked in a dried voice. He couldn't see anyone on the dragon's back. He feared that they had all fallen off somewhere.

With eyes fixated on the screen, Tenn frowned. "Snow?"

Ryuu turned his head slowly towards Tenn, who, surprisingly, seemed a little calmer and more composed now. "Look, the dragon's back is covered in snow." The magic user pointed towards the screen.

Tenn was right. "Ahhh!" Mitsuki was the first to emerge from the super thick layer of snow.

"What the-?" Iori appeared right next to Mitsuki. He had to stand up to shake the snow off his body. It seemed everyone was buried under the snow that appeared out of nowhere.

"It must be Tamaki." Mitsuki scurried off before quickly digging snow off the dragon's back with his bare hands. "He created all this snow to shield us from the impact."

Iori's eyes widened from sudden realisation. "Then he must be badly injured!" He hurried off to help Mitsuki clear out the snow with his wind magic. The snow blew off, revealing the dragon's whitish-blue feathers, a lot of which was soaked red with blood.

Gaku was the next to emerge, with one of Riku's arms placed around his neck. The lord wasted no time in rushing off to the side of the hurting dragon's head. He reached his arm out to touch it, imagining a vision of a mighty dragon rising from the ground, and so began casting large-scale healing magic.

Just as soon as Nagi sprang up, the sky darkened considerably. The magic users could now sense a strange, immense amount of pressure. Riku's healing magic flow became noticeably harder to control. Tenn who was not even there could also feel like something was pushing his shoulder down from above. The silicans did not feel anything strange, but judging from the Majabahn's tense faces, they knew they had to be on guard.

"Crap." The dragon slowly pushed himself up. He was not completely recovered, but he felt alright, not counting the fact that he felt the pressure much more than everyone else. He knew exactly what it meant. "Sou-chan is here."

Everyone looked up to find a huge, swirling, deep, dark purple void appearing in the sky. Within them, strikes of electric force were flashing. A being wearing a white robe was slowly descending to the surface. He would look very humane had he not got a large pair of feathery white angel-like wings on his back. The being's eyes opened to reveal lavender-coloured translucent orbs with a deep blood-red colour underneath. They were the eyes of true madness.

The Keeper Sougo landed softly in front of the humans. Surprisingly, he did not commence his attack when he already had electricity orbs ready in both hands. The Silican regulator saw this as an opportunity to negotiate. He bravely stepped forward. "Keeper Osaka Sougo, why are you doing this? Why are you destroying our homes when you are supposed to protect them?"

"Foolish human." Sougo lifted his chin, looking down on Nagi as if to tell him to learn his place. He spread his wings further. "You are destroying your own homes."
