Joss: Fuck. He almost killed you!

(Bulwark retracts his amor into an armband and electrical marks and burns are seen on his other arm and up to his neck. He kneels down and looks at Joss and Arya.)

Bulwark: Nicely done comrades... Uh... Fuck... At least the painkillers worked.... T25, begin tissue healing process... This .. is unbearable.

(The armband begins to glow blue and his veins are shown. The veins pulsate blue while he is taking deep breaths, he sits on the ground and then lays down on the burnt grass.)

Joss: That fucker almost killed me! How the hell does that creature unleashed such attack?

(Arya looks down shamefully.)

Arya: Sorry...

(Joss smiles.)

Joss: Don't be. We didn't knew what it was capable of.

(Isabella arrives and hugs her.)

Isabella: You alright?!

Arya: Yes.

(Joss tries to stand but falls. He notices that a small chunk of his leg is off.)

Joss: Fuck!

(He then begins to feel the pain. He laughs.)

Joss: At least the creature took a part of me.

Isabella: Oh my gosh, Jae!

Joss: I will be ok after I rest.

(She tends his wounds, and everyone rest on the green grass. Bahamut flies down to where Bulwark is and begins to lick his hair.)

(Bulwark smiles in pain and chuckles a bit for Bahamut)

Bulwark: Good... Boy ... Good. Now... Let us.... Pray...

(He closes his eyes while he is spread out on the ground and prays)

(Joss closes his eyes to pray but falls asleep after. Arya kneels besides the corpses and touches each one, carving each scene into her memory. Isabella just stands and watch the field and looks at a map.)

Isabella: There should be a cave near here, or an underground entrance. We must find it.

(Joss snores loudly and Bahamut sits, observing everything.)

Bulwark: Yeah... Alright then...

(T25 slows down the process and imbue him with a low dosage of pain killers)

T25: No need to state anything sir, already know that you want to continue the quest.

Bulwark: You're quickly adapting... Awesome.

(He gets up, stretches and grunts in pain. He places the armor on Ares)

Bulwark: Let's go find it. Arya, you watch over Jae or Bahamut?

Isabella: Wake the sleepy head!

(She hits him, and he awakens.)

Joss: Wha-where?

Isabella: Wake up! We need to find the dragon. Get your ass up!

(Arya smiles.)

Joss: No one can close eyes here.

Isabella: We need to find an entrance.

Joss: I can go with Bahamut over the skies and try.

Isabella: You sure?

Joss: Yeah. No problem.

(Bahamut lowers himself and Joss rides him. It began flipping his wings, gaining altitude until they were off in the skies. The fresh air accompanied by the vast sky and clouds made Joss drift away. Moments later he found a visible cave. He lowers near the team.)

Joss: Cave is north-east. 15 miles.

Bulwark: Alright!!... Well I can fly both of y'all with me or one of y'all go with Jae and Bahamut and one with me. We'll get there as quick as possible and not waste anymore daylight.

(He switches to Apollo armor and waits for the girls answer)

Isabella: I will not ride that beast!

Joss: That is not what you said last night.

(The veins of her head became visible.)

Arya: I go Jae!

Joss: That is the spirit! Hop on!

(She sits behind Joss and Bahamut quickly takes off.)

Isabella: Shall we go then?

(Bulwark places her arm around his neck and holds her torso and they take off)

Bulwark: So how was he last night? Not talking about the sex, I mean after the incident? Is he stable?

Isabella: He had some seizures but was manageable. I'm scared...that he changes so much, we couldn't recognize him or vice versa. He is a good guy, truly is, but I only want him to open more to us.

Bulwark: Shit. That's not healthy for ya know... In this world we all have a dark time in our lives.

(Arya and Joss land near the cave. After moments, so do Bulwark and Isabella.)

Joss: Ok buddy, wait here for us. If anything happens, I will call for you.

(The Rhanioid licks his face.)

Joss: Good boy.

Bulwark: Alright, what's the plan? I go inside first, stand behind me and Isabella is our shooter. Arya and Jae keep watch for suspicious movement? Good?

(Everyone nods in agreement. Arya holds the giant mallet in her hands, Isabella readies 3 arrows and Joss puts his hand on the hilt of his sword.)

(He switches to Ares armor, and pulls out two energy shields and leads the way. He turns on his X-ray Visor as they proceed into the cave.)

Bulwark: So about how big is this dragon?

Isabella: They didn't specify but I guess it must be big.

(He spots a strange skeletal imagery)

Bulwark: Well I can see something in the distance but... It doesn't.. ok right.. It's a skeleton of something.

(The party enters just to see the dragon being slayed by a group of people. They wear suits and the insignia of Moderno is visible. One of them had what seems a heart, eye, and scales of the ferocious beast. They take notice of the team.)

Moderno #1: They have arrived. Go and take that to Sygma. I will delay them.

(The other 3 opened an artifact that connected the place to a lab. They crossed and the Moderno guy #1 destroyed completely the artifact, making it impossible to track and reform.)

Moderno guy#1: You guys are fast, no doubt. But you will perish here, alongside the Vildrays.
