Overworld: The generation of heroes Volume 1

10. Bahamut, Hero of Power

Back downstairs, people were mourning and talking. "Hey what's that?" a guest called, looking at the stairs. Another handful of guests turned around and looked up, and everyone else joined in. "Mum?" Oliver said, looking at Farah. "Oh my..." gasped Farah. A huge dark purple cloud shaped like a human with glowing blue eyes appeared through the corner and quickly flew out into the room. People starting panicking and running, and others wailed in fear. The spirit then flew directly at Nevaeh, about to hit her, when Noelle suddenly jumped in front of her. "Sister!" Nevaeh cried, watching her twin being caught by the spirit. It entered her gold necklace, and Noelle fell under control. Her face turned sour and her eyes glowed blue. "Dear Noelle," Mooroopna's voice sounded. "you are now Glawackus, and I grant you the power of stealing memories with this spirit's guidance!" Noelle then stood straight and dark purple mist swarmed her. "S-s-sister??" whimpered Nevaeh, tears in her eyes. "I am no longer your dear twin, sister!" Noelle yelled, turning around. "I am now Glawackus!" She wore a furry costume with ears, a brown mask, and a tail. She had black hair and pure green eyes. She also had claws, fangs and her gold necklace was visible.

"I will consume your memories of my brother!" Glawackus cried. She then touched Nevaeh, having a vision of her playing with her older brother when they were children. Nevaeh's eyes then turned white and she froze. "Sister!" cried Edmund. "She was a weirdo anyway," Clarice said, drinking wine. "You two are next!" shouted Glawackus, touching Edmund, the same happening to him, his vision being him climbing a tree with his brother. "My husband!" Clarice cried. "how dare you!" With that, she was then stripped of memory of her brother-in-law, the vision being the first time she met him. People ran off screaming, as others had their memories of Nathaniel taken away too. Oliver ran off to a room to find the talismans, when he saw his mother being struck, her vision of hers and Nathaniel's wedding. "Such valuable memories there," exclaimed Glawackus, her eyes shining. They lit up more, as Mooroopna said, "Get Oliver, the blonde haired boy. He has useful memories too." In tears, Oliver ran upstairs and locked the door to the room he and his mother were staying in. "My family, my aunt..." he cried. "Ollie, you are sad," a small voice came. Oliver turned around and saw Sadu and the other Airidans floating beside him.

"Oh, thank goodness you're here!" Oliver sniffed, smiling. "I think it's time I used a Talisman, my aunt's been changed into a villain and is taking people's memories of my dad, and she's attacked my family! I need to end this!" With that, Oliver took out the Talisman Box and opened all the drawers. "Which one should I use??" he said out loud. "Use mine, you'll run faster than anything!!" exclaimed an Airidan that looked like a cheetah. "No, no! Use mine, it lets you make friends with people!" added an Airidan that looked like a panda. "Ignore them, choose mine! You will be able to see every quality or feeling a person has!" called an Airidan that looked like a spider. "Actually," Oliver started. "I'll go for this one." He then pointed at his father's brooch. "Are you sure??" Spookks asked. "It was our former guardian's miracle jewel!" "Let him," Parrita interrupted. "That, young Oliver, is the Dragon Talisman, the talisman of power. It grants you flight, strength, and elemental manipulation. It is very strong, which is handy for a guardian, and we trust you with it." Oliver smiled confidently, then picked up the brooch. Suddenly, orange light came from the brooch that blinded Oliver, and a silhouette of an Airidan appeared, which became more clearer as the light disappeared.

The airidan was orange, with black and blue fur as hair. It had yellow eyes with yellow sclera and black cat like pupils, added with 2 small pointy teeth and a small nose. He also had pointy ears, the tips coloured black and blue. He has an orange body with blue limbs and a black underbelly, completed with large orange wings with blue tips, and an orange tail with a blue caudal. "Wow, that was a long sleep!" he yawned. "Oh, you're not my user, where is he??" "He's dead," Fluffy said. "This is his son Oliver, our new guardian." "H-he died??" cried the airidan. "My poor master, he was amazing..." "Sorry, he's very emotional," Nibbles said to Oliver, comforting the airidan. "I know, I miss my father too, buddy," Oliver added, trying to comfort the airidan. "by the way, what's your name?" "My name is Dragazard, the Airidan of Power, because I'm powerful!" he replied with determination. "Show off," tutted Fluffy. "Hey, be nice to him!" the panda airidan said. "Ignore them," Parrita said. "So, you want to use my talisman, Oliver?" Dragazard asked, flying towards him. "Well, yes," replied Oliver, wearing the brooch, its colours switching to a shiny red. "Well you have every right to!" Dragazard exclaimed happily. "all you have to say is 'Dragazard, Raise my Wings'!"

"Dragazard, Raise my Wings!" Oliver repeated. The brooch flashed, and Dragazard's eyes lit up, and Oliver began transforming. Afterwards, he had become different in physical appearance. His hair was slicked to the left with the ends dyed red. His eyes were the same as Dragazard's- yellow eyes, yellow sclera, and cat like pupils. He wore a red body suit with long dark red knee and elbow pads, along with a dark red neck cover. He had a yellow belt, which held a mace. He was completed with orange dragon ears with jagged ends, the tips coloured black and blue, giant orange wings with purple insides and an orange tail with a fluffy blue caudal. Oliver then looked at the mirror in amazement. "I look so cool!" he cried. He noticed at the brooch, which had the colours making it look like a flame. "The brooch has changed colour," he stated. "It means it has been charged or activated," explained Dragazard. "when it turned red, it was in camouflage mode, which stops people from suspecting you're a superhero or talisman owner." "So I'm a superhero now?!" Oliver exclaimed. "Even more cool!!" "Yes, but stay focused," Dragazard snapped. "but since you're a superhero, you need a name, I'd suggest something related to your powers or talisman, but make sure it's sticks well."

Oliver thought to himself, then an idea struck him. "I've got it!" he stated. "Bahamut! Bahamut is the powerful dragon deity and the child of god Io, he is immortal and also known as God of the Dragons." "Wow, you've done your research," Parrita gasped in amazement. "My dad and I played Dungeons and Dragons when I was little," Oliver replied. "So I have some knowledge on dragon mythology." "Well, dear friends, you better hide before the villain gets you," Dragazard said. With that, the airidans went back into the box and Oliver hid it in his bag. "Let's go, Dragazard!" Oliver yelled, opening the window, and jumping out, flying. "Wait for me!!!" called Dragazard, flying quickly to him. Back outside, Glawackus was taking memories away from guests. "Hey, big bear!" called Bahamut (Oliver), standing on the roof. Glawackus looked up in shock and frustration. "Who are you??" she growled. "I am Bahamut, the protective and majestic dragon hero of Power, and I'm here to stop you from hurting these innocent people!" Bahamut introduced like a magical girl. Glawackus' eyes lit up, and Mooroopna said, "A superhero! He is your enemy, Glawackus, destroy him!"...
