Sky walk in the rain, very slowly. He needs to keep himself calm. Bloom, why?

Sky climb a crooked tree, swinging to the next one with ease. Thank you Headmaster Saladin, he laughed dryly. The days as a Specialist to become a hero, was something that made him feel so special, so normal besides being the Crown Prince back in his late teens. He climb up a branch, brushing his wet hair out of his face. He beamed a small flashlight into a squirrel hole, letting a sigh of relief escape his lips. The babies were still there, safe. But they were awake, and starting to whimper.

"Shhhh, everything's going to be a okay. Go back to sleep," Sky rubbed his thumb over their foreheads, trying to soothe them. Where are the girls when he needs them?

There was a rustling sound below. Sky instantly shut the flashlight off and drop to the ground. He pulled out his longsword, holding it in a defenses stance.

"Who's there?" he called out. The rustling stop and a figure appear. Sky's hand lost its grip on his sword as the figure was revealed to be Brandon. Brandon smile and cup his hands to call back to the others who were not far behind.

"Brandon..." Sky couldn't finish. Brandon pulled him into a brotherly hug, letting Sky cry.

Electra was curled up in a tight ball, muttering to herself. Could it be I have gone crazy for power? Is this what I truly want?  Electra was doubting herself. A few memories from her past, were floating around her. veil in darkness. She only became this way, after everyone she cared for was gone. The Magic Universe Council didn't do a thing to stop the intruders from attacking her world. They only blamed her for killing the intruders, because it turns out they were the intruders. Her body beoming frail to the bones, her skin becoming flappy. She look up into the darkness, listening to the sounds. 

"I Will HAVE YOUR HEADS! I SWEAR IT ON MY LIFE!" She screamed. Her hands began to scratch at her eyes until her hands pulled out her eyes from theri eye sockets. Her hands and face bloodied. Darkness was her only companion, her friend, who was always there for her. Her body began to tremble as she smile a devilish smile, cackling like a mad woman. She was tearing her hair out, bringing fresh blood over her scalp. She stop and sniff the air like an animal. She growl.

"That BITCH!" She pull out a ceremional dagger, cutting her arm.

"Da mihi Mortem Fulguri Pearl," her body erupted in black flames. Her cackling was turn into a roar...a roar of death.

Bloom look at the darkening pyramid. I must have courage. My heart will prevail.

Bloom look up at the darkening sky, clouds rumbling, fill with thunder.

"It looks like it's going to rain," she muttered to herself. She shook herself, mentally. Come on Bloom, focus. Everyone is counting on you. Everyone's lives are at stake. My friends', my parents', Sky's, our babies'...my baby boy, Adam...my baby girl, Phoenix.

"Great Dragon, if you hear me, I beg of you, please help me. I must protect everyone I care for. I need to protect my family! I will give up my life to make sure Electra will not harm the entire Magic Universe. Please! Give me a sign, anything,.... Please, anything," Bloom felted herself bursting into tears, dropping to her knees.

Something warm touch her face, carcessing her body with warmth. Bloom open her eyes, gaping at the magestic creature before her. Wall of flames surrouonded them. The Great Dragon walk around her, surveying her silently. He finally stop in front of her, and stared at her until her spoke.

"I have heard your pleas and cries. I have seen your innerself, the hardships you had face over these pasts years and recently. Your heart is so pure, I respect you as my Dragon Queen," he said, his voice rumbling toward her like waves.

"Dragon Queen?" Bloom asked, sniffling.

"Are you not the carrier of the Dragon Flame. The power, my power, have been bestow upon you for a reason."

"But I feel so helpless, I don't know what do?!"

"Stop! Listen to yourself, you are beating yourself like a small child. You have a heart like no other I have ever seen. You have a heart, to help bring goodness to everyone; you bring joy and wisdom do others who dwelt in fears and darkness. I will help you fight this dead sorceress who should be dead. But I must know this."

"What is it?"

"Are you sure you are ready to give up your life, your memories, to save your love ones, your husband, your newborn children?"

Bloom wiped her tears away, and stood up. She held her hand toward his face, showing only courage with a tint of sadness.

"I'm ready," Bloom said. The Great Dragon began to breathe fire over her.Bloom spread her arms out wide. twirling in a circle, relishing the warmth that was making her feel so good.

Her memories began to ebb away from her mind except her memories of Sky and the small moments she spent with Adam and Phoenix. This gave her a reason to fight, to protect the ones she hold dear to. But flames swept them away.

"Electra will use your memories to give you a disadvantage," he growled. Bloom put a fist in her mouth, quieting the anguish sob from coming out.

"Goodbye..." she whispered as ahe watch the last memory disappear.

The memory of the two of them, in the cave, each holding a baby, snuggling up together. It was the only moment where everything felt so normal, so peaceful.

"They are hungry," Stella said, giving baby Phoenix her finger to suck on. It lasted for a moment before the baby girl realize there was no milk. The poor baby gave out a big wail, causing Stella handing her over to her fiance. Brandon chuckle, rocking her back and forth. He can picture a little version of Stella or Brandon running around the Solarian Palace.

Stella smile softly, and peck him on the cheek.

"One day, after all of this is over," Stella said. Brandon nodded. He turn his attention to his best friend, his King, who was being console by King Oritel. A baby bottle appear in front of him.

"Here, this will do the trick," Aisha was holding the baby bottle. Brandon  nodded. He took it and gave it to the baby. Phoenix stop crying and suck on it furiously. But stop and cry again.

"It didn't---" Brandon was looking at the girls who were clutching their chests.

"Make it stop," Roxy whimpered, clutching James's arm..

"The babies---feel it---too," Flora managed to say before gasping from the pain.

"Bloom," Queen Mariam said, touchin her left breast, where her haert beat at a painful beat. Sky look around him, and struggle to stand up.

"It has already begun," Sky said walk toward the battle in a daze. Riven and Helia pull the struggling King back.

"No, I need to see her. Please, I need to see her once last time!" Sky punch his friends in the face before boling into the trees.

"Sky!" Nabu shouted.

"Leave him be, there is nothing we can do to stop him from going. He was going sooner or later," James said. Nabu nodded.

A black dragon appear as the black pryamid disappear. It let out a roar at the other dragon, who was burning the dark sky with its flames. The black dragon's eyes narrow at the small figure in the center of the beast.... It's Bloom.

Kill her! Kill the fire fairy!

The black dragon snarled and let out a roar. The firey dragon stood its ground. Unbetsknow to them was a lone figure who watch in horror as the final battle was about to begin.

"Bloom!"
