Seven Years Ago

Two brothers are currently walking through a forest alongside a creek. The oldest by just a minute, Yuuki Ryuto, had light brown hair and green eyes. Beside him, his younger twin, Yuuki Rito, had hazel eyes.

Rito: (8 Years Old) Are you sure this is safe, Ryuto?

Ryuto: (8 Years Old) Of course I am. Besides, the camp is like five minutes behind us, we can head back at anytime. And aren't you the one who wanted to go exploring?

Rito: A-Alright, I guess you're right.

The two continued walking down the creek for a few more minutes until Ryuto suddenly gets the feeling that something is wrong and stops. Rito looks at him with a puzzled look.

Rito: Ryuto?

Ryuto: Shhh... I hear something.

Rito: What--

Before Rito could question him, a low, menacing growl echoed from behind. Rito's heart skipped, and he turned slowly, his eyes meeting those of a large, wild wolf staring at him.

Rito turns around slowly to see a wolf looking at him, dead in the eyes.

Rito: W-W-Wolf!

In an instant, the wolf lunged toward Rito. He squeezed his eyes shut, bracing for the bite, but it didn't come. Opening his eyes, he saw Ryuto lying on the ground a few feet away, a deep, bloody claw mark across his chest as he screamed in pain.

Ryuto: AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Rito: R-Ryuto!

Without thinking, Rito grabbed a handful of rocks by the creek and hurled them at the wolf.

Rito: L-Leave my brother alone, you stupid wolf!

The wolf snarled, shifting its attention from Ryuto to Rito, its eyes narrowing as it prepared to charge.

Ryuto: N-No... RITO!!

With a final growl, the wolf pounced, tackling Rito and sending him crashing into a nearby tree. His world went dark as he slumped to the ground, unconscious.

Ryuto: R-Rito...

Ryuto's vision blurred, his body feeling weaker with each passing second as he clutched his wounded chest. His breaths came in ragged gasps, and the sounds around him started to fade. But then, in the silence, he heard something, a deep, resonant voice that echoed in his mind.

???: So... you would risk yourself to protect your brother. Such a fierce spirit... I can feel it burning within you.

Ryuto's eyes widened, his pain momentarily forgotten as he struggled to focus on the voice.

Ryuto: Who... Who are you...?

Ddraig: I am Ddraig, the Welsh Dragon. My soul is sealed within the Boosted Gear, and it appears you are my host. Awaken me, and I shall lend you the power you seek.

Ryuto felt a surge of energy, a fiery warmth spreading through his body, washing away the pain. He glanced down at his hand as a red gauntlet began to form, its surface glowing with intense power, a green gem embedded at the center.

The wolf turned back, drawn by the strange energy emanating from Ryuto, its eyes narrowed and wary.

Ddraig: Say the word. Call for 'Boost,' and let my power flow through you.
