The Traversable Plane

"Open your eyes, Damian." Jerry Heard a woman's voice speaking. what happened? Was Levendus able to finish him off? well, he did not feel anything at all, no hurt no pain. So he decided to open his eyes.

When he did, he was caught by surprise at where he is. He sits up slowly and saw that he is sitting at a finely trimmed Bermuda grass beside a still pond. everything around them he can see flows of river floating across beside them. Here and there, there are shooting stars or ball of flame passing by like they are in some kind of crazy unbalanced universe. And Before him, he saw three other people, two of them staring at him.

"Where am I? did I just die?" Jerry said looking at each of the people who are staring at him.

The nearest of them to his left, stood a man with a very great physique, Elegant and standing straight, both his hands on his back. wearing to jerry's guess what looks like a futuristic design outfit of some sort, that he had not seen before. The man was handsome and tall, by Jerry's estimate, is maybe about 7 feet tall, with a finely trimmed beard on his chin, there was an air of a noble gentleman in him. The Woman on Jerry's right standing at least 8 feet away is a Smiling Black Woman with long Black perm hair, with a beautiful slender face, her body has curves which compliment very well what her outfit is. She is wearing a thick color blue Denim Shorts with matching Denim Jacket over an Orange Tank top and on her legs are knee-high black stocking. At her feet, she is wearing some weird blue sneakers that look to have some graphical hologram of water flowing on it as a design. Since she is the only woman that jerry can see then she probably is the one that spoke earlier, for him to wake up. Lastly Beside her sitting crossed-legged is a gothic dressed kid, not looking at him but at the pond, with a bored, sad look on his face.

"You have not yet met your demise, Damian!" said the elegant man before him. "Far from it, I suppose. However I believe based on your dumbfounded expression, that you don't remember us, and an explanation is in order?" the elegant man just stared at him with a very stern look on his face.

"Don't sweat it, Gert. We all knew that something like this might happen after he used the Dragon Gods Roar, back in Garakus," Said the smiling lady. Her voice, with a sweet tone in it as though as she is singing.

"Very well, let me explain first then," Said the elegant man, "I am Gertunder, the lady over there is Tanya, and lastly the brooding young man, is Darakhus," he said as he pointed on the crossed-legged young man on the ground, who is still not paying attention to them.

"We, are your dragons, your companions should have mentioned us to you by now. To explain further old chap, you have a total of 9 of us. Unfortunately at your current state at the moment not all of us can meet you here at what we call the Traversable Plane," he said as he raised both his hands around him, "This! is a plane of existence that links our world, to your world, which we use a lot when we wanted to talk to you privately."

"My Dragons you say?" Jerry replied now more surprise as ever, These guys do not look anywhere near what a conventional dragon should look like, "But your, humans?" pointing out to them, Waiting for an explanation.

"This is our Human form silly," Said Tanya, this time approaching him. "I remember you particularly like me in this form, didn't you?" she said with a teasing wink at jerry, "And I do think I'm more beautiful than that Gallaxian Girlfriend of yours, Faylis, If a do say so Myself"

"We don't have much time Tanya if you will let me finish talking with him," said Gertunder with a bit of command on his voice this time. "Let me continue. We used this plane plenty of time before Damian, however, it cost some of your energy, so this is gonna be exhausting to you after. Returning at our topic, you see this time, we need to bring to your attention that you have unconsciously activated the Dragons cry when that boy Stint met his demise, then he approached you crawling on the ground and tried to finish you."

That is right, Jerry remembered, "So he succeeded right? i'm dead?" he looks at them for confirmation. Tanya on the other hand just smiled more widely, shaking her head, "Not yet Damian," she said looking very cheerful and nice to Jerry.

"Ahem!" Gertunder interrupts them so that he can continue, "I repeat, you have used unconsciously the Dragons cry, It was enough for you to summon some strength to defeat those Zentaris, and along the way you released us, and now here we are, able to talk with you. Currently, your body is unconscious, Riding a vehicle in Ghentar, which is where the 6th gate is. You and your companions are now headed to the 7th Gate to Zenmonth. Were they believe you will be safe. However, that is not why we contacted you," Gertunder pause then looked at both his companions. Tanya nodded her approval, even the brooding, and silent Darakhus, finally moved his head and looked at Gertunder and Nodded.

"You have used The Dragon gods Roar 5 years ago, earlier you used the Dragons Cry unconsciously. It means, 2 of the Dark One's Shackles have been removed because of this. You need to remember that he made a prophecy that you will also use the last one which is the Dragon Gods Stare. And when you do, the Dark One will be freed! Unfortunately, we cannot allow that to happen." Gertunder said. Everyone went silent.

"So what do you propose for me to do? I don't even know how to use this Dragon look or something, what you said," Jerry now feeling nervous and have a bad feeling regarding this.

"You may not remember this, but in spite of the prophecy of the Dark One, you said before that you will not use any of those three forbidden skills. Now here we are, you have used two of them Damina! If you use or even try to use the last one Damian, we are afraid that we will need to sever our ties with you altogether," Gertunder spoke stoically.

"NOOOOO!!" Suddenly a loud Booming voice suddenly sounded all over the place. The ground shakes all around them, a loud rumble can be heard as jerry tries to steady himself.

"What's happening?!" Jerry shouted.

"Your energy weave is dissipating Damian. The effect of the Dragons Crys is wearing off," Tanya said still standing still as if the ground is not shaking at all. He looked at Jerry with her deep blue eyes looking worried at Jerry, "We ran out of time, you need to remember Jerry. Recover immediately your energy weave and memory, Damian. Before it's too La......" Her voice trails of.

Then everything around Jerry, together with the whole environment and reality seems to swirl and spin into nothingness. Spinning and spinning it goes making him feel sick. Then he closed his eyes to stop himself from vomiting. After that, Darkness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is his chance, Levendus said to himself. it seems that this Damian Powers is still weak and has not recovered yet from the battle with his master Zemeth. crawling in front of him is just a husk of the Real Damian Powers. He cried aloud amidst the battle that ensues all around him, "Show me what you're made of! Powers!" Levendus raise his Spear high above his head, then bring it down on Damian's face.

Levendus Spear stopped! he saw it hitting a bright spark just inches from Damians face, hindering the spear to pierce through. He grabbed the spear with both hands not giving up, then pushed down with all his might trying to pierce through to the spark of light in front of him, "What are yo........" Baaaammmm! Levendus heard! something ignites within the spark as it exploded, then the impact knocking him a few feet away and to the ground.

At his feet, he looked as he saw Damian standing up, glowing with a bright light around him, eyes burning white and dark at the same time, His skin has some smoke-like energy oozing up from them.

With a quick motion, Damian rushes at the Levendus who is on the ground his fist in front of him, Burning with energy. With a Spfwassh!! Damian hit Levendus shattering him to dust. He then stood up and looked back. this time every Zentaris has stopped on their tracks to look at him. Braddock, Emma and the Levendus that is standing beside the Gate, stared at him, frozen in awe at the image of Damian.

"GRAAAAHHHH!!!" Damian lets out a loud scream at them. Waves of energy came out and splatter all around them, sending some of the Zentaris of their feet and into the air. Braddock and Emma dropped down on their knees bowing, grabbing the ground to not get blown away, by the energy wave of Damian.

The Levendus besides the 5th gate started to push some buttons on his bracer, then he glowed and slowly diminish. "I will be back Powers! I will not underestimate you next time...." His voice trails off as he dissipates into nothingness.

A few seconds past, the energy wave dissipates as well. Braddock and Emma stared at Damian from the ground, both of them shocked at what they have witnessed. Damian slowly walked to Stint's body, Kneeled down and lifted Stint on his knees. His Eyes turning back to its original color changed to eyes filled with tears that are now flowing down his cheeks.

"I... Can...n't believe... I will see... the real... Damian Powers.... in actio..." Stint said faintly, as he tried to smile in front of Damian Powers. Damian cried "Nooo.... it should have been me, kid." Damian said, his hand brushing at the wound on Stint's chest, trying to think how to fix him. "It's ok, everything is gonna be ok,... that's what I told you right!? we're gonna get you fixed. just hang on ok." Damian looking at the smiling face of Stint, which staring at him. "No...." Damian cried silently, realizing now that the boy is gone, Lifeless eyes staring back at him. "No..." He cried silently as he embraced the lifeless body of Stint.
