Meanwhile....

Three men were huffing and panting as they made their way up the hills.
"How ---much....?" The youngest of her three panted.

"A few feet more Gill. We're almost ..."
They middle of them replied.

They made their last few steps over the hill and their relived and excited expressions turned into horrified ones.
"Wha-? Where's-?" The oldest stuttered in horror.

Before them instead of the famous Liana city was a huge crater over 70 acres with black scorched soil.

Thin streaks of smoke evaporated into the air as the three terrified men started to explore the crater.

"Brother what could've done this?" The middle sibling asked.

"I dunno but what ever it was must be really powerful." The oldest replied.

The youngest scanned around. There was nothing left. Not a building. Nor a plant. Or a child's town. Then his eye widened.

His brothers didn't notice their little 5 yr old brother run of in another direction.

"Wait till the Council here of this. Tommy get me my cubix."

"...." No reply from him.

"Tommy?"He turned. "Kyle! Where's Tommy" Jude, 12, yelled at his 15yrs old brother who turned immediately.

Worry grew into fear when they didn't see their brother anywhere. They began to panic.

"TOMMY!"

"TOMMY!!!"

Then a terrified scream cut through the air.

"TOMMY!!!" Yelled the brothers. They dropped their bags and ran in the direction of the scream.

"Tommy!"

They stopped in their tracks. The scream was from Tommy but before them was a 10 foot tall white demon and in his clutches was their brother raised above the demon's opened mouth.

"Kyle! Jude! Help!" He cried.

"Tommy!" The brother's felt helpless. What should they do? What could they do?

Tommy was seconds away from being eaten by a White demon.

Kyle and Jude his brother's could only stare in horror.

Then footsteps came from behind them. The brothers spun in fright.

A red haired stranger covered in blood and cuts with a huge badassed looking sword stumbled weakly towards them with his head hung.

"Maa, maa. This is suddenly becoming a pain in my ass." He said.
The brothers made way from him.

"Ahhhhh!" Tommy's scream got their brothers' attention.

"Tommy!" Jude cried.

"What's this. I've killed 799 of them and there's still one left." He said.

"Please save our broth--." Kyle pleaded but the Stranger was already gone leaving a gust of wind.

The brothers looked on.

The Stranger suddenly appeared at the temple of the demon. His fist engulfed in red flames raised and landed a clean powerful punch on the side of the demon. It stumbled backwards and shrieked in pain. It's large foot stomped heavily on the ground rocking the land.
Kyle and Jude tried to stand their ground. Tommy was now enveloped in the huge hand of the demon.

The battle raged on. The Stranger looked like a fly compared to the terrifying giant. It swung it's hands, threw punches but the mysterious red haired stranger dodged and countered back. Their punches barely visible. The Stranger flew above the monster and raised its sword. A huge yet strange-looking magic circle appeared behind him. Then his entire body was engulfed in red flames.

"What kind of magic is that?" Kyle asked in awe.

The Stranger opened his eyes and dived head first at the demon who had powered up a ball of deadly magic. Hellspere.

But never the less he still charged. He let out a cry. The Demon fired the Hellspere.
The Stranger cried. "Red Meteor!"
And his sword glowed.

They collided and a there was a huge brilliant explosion.

Irene who was now awake and being lead away by two big guards felt something. It was faint yet...she could feel him.
She turned to the window beside her and saw the outside world looking at the direction she felt the aura.
"...Sora."

The brilliance disappeared and so was the huge billows of smoke. Kyle and Jude coughed as Jude took down the barrier he made, shielding them from the blast. "Nice timing bro" Kyle said.

"Tommy!" Jude cried.
"Jude!" He turned to Kyle who was staring transfixed at something over him.

Jude turned to where his brother was staring at.

The white demon has frozen. A badassed sword sticking out from its fore head.
The white glowing orbs in its eyes faded in to blackness and it crumbled into dust.

"Tommy!" They ran towards the demon. The billows still hadn't dispersed yet. It was thick.

"Tommy!"

"TOMMY!!!"

Then they heard footsteps.

"Kyle! Jude! I'm okay" Came the kid's small voice.

They saw a silhouette walking towards them.
The Stranger stepped into the clear all blood and badly injured with Tommy in his arm. The other he held his sword.

The brothers face lit up in relief and joy.

The Stranger let the boy down and his sword disappeared from him.

Tommy ran into his brothers' arms who embraced themselves tightly.

Jude pulled him back. "Don't you EVER do that again!" He warned.

"Un" the boy agreed.  Jude looked up the Stranger.

"Ano, ariga---" the Stranger gagged out blood fell to ground. "----to." Jude finished.

They stood above the Stranger. He was badly injured. "Onni-chan, hora"
Tommy pointed at the stranger's arms.
They were covered in black tattoos. His clothes were torn but they didn't look like he was around this place.

"I've...seen him somewhere." Kyle said thoughtfully.
They took another careful look and gasped at the realisation.

"It can't be. You don't think..."

"Yeah. No doubt about it." Said Jude. Tommy hugged his brother's knee.

"The infamous Red Colored Dragon."
