Narrator- Elite Soldiers- 6 Externals & 2 Internals
Ginto- 3 Externals & 1 Internal
(Unicorn Juice Bar, 11:15 a.m, Day 28- The Day of the 10th External Dragon Part)

Itsumi- So...... what is it?? Why did you call me here??

Mizumi(with a tense face)- I......I..... had a precognition last night that featured you.

Itsumi- Aah?! Me?! Don't you usually have a precognition of people who are close to you?? Then how come it features me?? Oh, don't tell me; you secretly admire me or something!!

Mizumi(with a tense face)- I... I saw you dying.

Itsumi(with a stunned face)- What??!!

Mizumi- You were engaged in a battle with ginto for the 10th part, in which, at the end, he kills you. I saw it clearly.

Itsumi(with a stunned face)- .........

Mizumi- I wanted to tell you this personally before I told the other soldiers.

Itsumi(with a stunned face)- ..........

Mizumi- But you don't need to worry; all of us will fight together to prevent this from happening!!

Itsumi(with a serious face)- Nah, don't involve them. This doesn't concern them.

Mizumi- What are you saying?? So we just let you die?!

Itsumi- Don't lie to yourself!! You also very well know that your precognition never goes wrong, regardless of how much the person tries to change it!! The end result will always be the same!! Didn't you also try to change your fate earlier, when you fought ginto?? Did it work in the end, and were you able to defeat Ginto?? The answer is no, you weren't able to!! So please, let me go and fight my own battle on my own terms!!

Mizumi(with a dejected look)- .........

Itsumi- If fate has decided that I will die today, then I will die.

Mizumi(with a dejected look)- .........

Itsumi- Swear to me that you won't tell others about it!! I don't want them to feel sad about me.

Mizumi(while hugging itsumi)- I can't believe this is happening. (begins crying)

Itsumi- It's okay. Sometimes, we just have to accept it.

Mizumi(while hugging itsumi)- How can I accept it when my best friend is about to get killed?!

Itsumi(with a smile)- Have some confidence in me; maybe I will be able to change my fate. Now, come on, go. I want to strategize for the battle.

Mizumi(with a depressed face)- No!! I will stay here with you!!

Itsumi- There is no need for that. I am fine. There is no need for you to do anything special for me. It would only make me more uncomfortable.

Narrator- Mizumi was hesitant, but she eventually left. Itsumi stared at an empty glass for some time before she started crying.

(The Pajama Palace, Lobby, 6:30 p.m)

Eldon- A spider name; "Ginto" is back, everyone!!

Tegan- Apparently, he now has the ability to molt, which means more trouble for us.

Raiden(with a dejected look)- What is even the limit of his powers?!

Livon- Hmph, we just cannot live peacefully!!

Hinaka- At least we have the last dragon part, the crown, with us still. So even if he comes over today, he will be greeted by all of us together.

Ayumi- Which location do we have to go to today anyway??

Noren- "Extremely Very Super Low Price Mall"

Livon(with a confused face)- This is the name?!

Noren- Well, yeah.

Livon- Is it me, or are the names of locations getting weirder and weirder as we keep on moving to the next phase of the Dragon Parts??

Tegan- Hahahaha!! You are right, the names do get weirder; West Dragon Country is especially famous for doing this.

Mizumi(in her mind)- Mall?!! What is even happening? The place I saw ginto killing itsumi wasn't a mall!! It was an open area!! Was my precognition wrong??

Hinaka- Where is itumi today, noren??

Mizumi(in her mind)- Huhh?? Itsumi is not here!! I am sure I saw her outside before I entered the hotel!!

Noren- Sis said that she has some urgent matters she needs to deal with first, then she will join us.

Eldon- What sought of urgent matters??

Noren- Sis didn't answer that. She just said she would be back in no time.

Eldon- Hmmm.. suspicious. But guess, we have to trust her on this. Let's leave for the mall; itsumi can directly meet us over there.

Mizumi(in her mind)- Where did itsumi go?? Is she really going to botch her biggest chance of surviving?!

(Extremely Very Super Low Price Mall, 7:02 p.m- Hour of the Finding)

Tegan- Spread out onto different floors, everyone!! If someone finds the dragon part or ginto, then inform all of us about it. Don't hodge onto all the fun alone.

Raiden(to livon and eldon)- Did you hear that?? That message was specifically directed at both of you!!

Livon(while staring at eldon)- Hmph!!

Eldon(while staring at livon)- Hmph!!

Narrator- Hinaka was leaving for the upper floors when he saw Mizumi standing alone with a tense look on her face.

Hinaka(to mizumi)- Is something the matter, mizumi??

Mizumi- Aah, huh, aahh, no, no, not at all!!

Hinaka- Then why are you standing over here?? Shouldn't you be looking for the dragon part??

Mizumi- I will be leaving after making a call to itsumi. We should be letting her know about the progress.

Hinaka- Okay, if that's the case. (then leaves)

Mizumi(makes a call to itsumi)- Damn, her phone is switched off!! Please stay alive, itsumi!! Please stay alive!!

Narrator- Mizumi, rather than searching for the dragon part, went outside to look for Itsumi.

(At the Outskirts, 7:10 p.m)

Itsumi(in her mind)- Before becoming an Elite Soldier, I belonged to a middle-class family; no, I should say, I belonged to a lower-middle-class family. My father was a businessman, and my mother was a housewife. They frequently argued over trivial matters, and there were hardly any peaceful days during my early school years. However, it never truly bothered me because there were moments when we were all together and happy. I cherished those moments forever. In a way, we were a dysfunctional family, but we all loved each other. Then noren was born, and for the first few years, things were normal as they had been in the past, but then they took a turn. When I was around 9, no, maybe 10, no, probably 11, my father got caught by the Enforcers for engaging in illegal activities and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Shortly after that, I discovered my mother was having an affair with another man. My mother felt guilty and decided to end her life. The enforcers later offered me and noren a choice: either live in an orphanage or fend for ourselves. I chose the latter option. By this point, I realized that trusting anyone in this world is a grave mistake. Since then, I have practically raised noren as a mother, and I have enjoyed every single moment of it!! Now that noren has finally learned to stand on his own two feet, my role as a mother has come to an end. So, there is no better moment to die than now!!

But...... but, Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Screw that!! I don't want to die!! I want to live with noren, not as a mother but as his big sister!! If fate has decided to end my life today, then I will change that fate and write my own destiny!!

(Ginto enters the scene)

Ginto(while looking at the ground)- Hmmm... is this really the place where the dragon part will be found?!

Itsumi(throws an emerald earring on the ground)- Here, this is what you want, right?? Now, stop sniffing like the dog you are!!

Ginto(to itsumi)- You are noren's sister. No wonder you have a foul mouth. Where are your other pals?? Ah, they must be waiting for the right moment to launch a surprise attack on me!!

Itsumi- No one is here beside me. I am all alone.

Ginto- Hahahahahaha!! You must be joking!! Why would the other soldiers leave you alone to find the dragon part when they had the advantage of winning the previous one??

Itsumi- This is not the location where the Drgaon part was supposed to be found. I received a call from an unknown number, which informed me that the dragon part would be here, waiting for me.

Ginto(in his mind)- She received a call just like me?!

(to itsumi)- Do you know who the person was that called you??

Itsumi- No, I don't know.

Ginto- Hmmm, whatever maybe, even if you surrender the dragon part to me now, I still won't let you leave. Sorry, but you see, I don't like noren at all; I hate everything about him, and if I hate noren, then that automatically means that I hate you as well!! So, as his sister, you must take the burden of the hatred that I have for him and sacrifice yourself!! Oh, you don't need to worry about anything; once I achieve Paradise, you will be able to reunite with your brother again!!

Itsumi- Hmph, didn't your grandmother ever teach you to shut up?!

Ginto(with an angry face)- You bitch!!

Narrator- Ginto moves his right feet forward to attack; the moment he did, several giant plants grew out of the ground, releasing a poisonous odor.
Ginto began coughing and was brought down to his knees.

Itsumi, a non-weapon soldier, had a quiver hanging at her back that contained three arrows. Itsumi took one of them, then used her bow to shoot it at Ginto's shoulder.

Ginto- BONE EXPEL!!

Narrator- Ginto was in pain; he plucks out the arrow from his shoulder and throws it away. Then he coats his right arm with bones and starts destroying the plants that grew out. After destroying them, he fired bones at Itsumi.

Itsumi- PLANT BARRIER!!

Narrator- Itsumi creates a plant barrier to block the upcoming bones.

Ginto knew that Itsumi's barrier wouldn't last long due to his shakti being superior. So he decided not to stop firing bones at her, but surprisingly, after a while, his bone-releasing speed went slower on its own.

Ginto(with a confused face)- Huh??!! Why did the speed go slower?? And why am I feeling tired all of a sudden?! That bow!!! Don't tell me she has the power to deplete shakti!! (in his mind)

Itsumi- PETAL STORM!!

Narrator- Itsumi summons a flurry of razor-sharp petals to rain down on Ginto.

Ginto tries to create a bone armor but fails to do so. He then simply crosses his arms as the petal continues to lacerate him.

As the petals were blocking Ginto's vision, Itsumi decided to shoot her second arrow at Ginto.

Ginto sensed something approaching him and moved his fingers towards his sword, which hung at his waist.

But Itsumi sees that, and before Ginto could get hold of the sword, she used "Vines" to bind his hand. Thus, at the end, the arrow successfully pierced his left shoulder.

The impact of the arrow was devastating, as it resulted in Ginto getting thrashed a few meters away. Ginto was in rage, so he plucks out the arrow and throws it away. He then proceeded to stand.

Ginto- This should be enough!! You have dealt me way too much damage!! I should have been the one doing that!! Now, even if it kills me, I am still going to destroy you!! BONE MULTIPLIER- GIANT HANDS!!

Narrator- Ginto uses all his remaining shakti for one final attack. He brought his fist forward in the air, from which a giant hand grew out of it, which headed towards Itsumi.

Itsumi- Hmph, meaningless!!

{Dragon Academy, The Day After the Ceremony, 1 Year Ago}

Hanna(to tegan- So who are the new soldiers?? The ones who are going to carry the mantle for Dragon Country into the future??

Tegan- Quite an exciting bunch, if I may say that myself. First, Mizumi, with her Ash powers, has a great deal of potential lying within herself, especially in the Stage 1 category. Noren, with his Mercury powers, is... how should I describe him?? He is okay right now, but once he breaks his inner shackles, then we will finally be able to see his true self!! Eldon with Cloud powers: this guy is just strong, like really strong; all his bases are covered. He is the real deal. Itsumi with Plant powers; she is a good soldier, but once she gets the required amount of preparation time, she becomes better than just good. She can even give the strongest shakti user out there a run for their money!!

(Present Time)

Narrator- Itsumi takes out the third arrow from the quiver and shoots it at Ginto's chest before his giant hands can make their way towards her.

Thus, Ginto falls to the ground, defeated.

Itsumi picked up the "Emerald Earring" from the ground and then stood near Ginto.

Ginto(while looking at itsumi)- ...........

Itsumi- Don't worry, I won't finish you off. That was my last arrow. It takes an abundance of shakti to make one of those. So, your fate lies in your hands now. Survive if you can.

Ginto(with a frustrated face)- ............

Itsumi- And if you do survive, then remember forever that I was the one that single-handedly massacred you!! (then leaves)

Ginto(with a frustrated face)- Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Narrator- Ginto's skin began to crack, the middle of his head spewed open, and then the moulting process began. Baby Ginto appeared out of it and crawled to get away.

An unknown man was sitting on top of one of the trees, noticing the entire battle. The man was dressed in a black coat with a matching black tie, a crisp white shirt, and a black hat. His face is concealed by a black mask that covers his entire face, with only his left eye visible.

Raven(with a smirk)- That was fun!! This battle will hopefully teach ginto to never act cocky.

(At the Nearby Street)

Mizumi(with a stunned face)- You are alive?! (then hugs itsumi)

Itsumi- Of course I am, you idiot!! And see this!!

Narrator- Itsumi showed the Emerald Earring to Mizumi, revealing the location for the next External Dragon Part, which was always written at the bottom. The location was "Godforsaken Island".

Mizumi- Ohhhhh!!! Did you really.......??

Itsumi- Yes, I really defeated him.

Mizumi- So my precognition was wrong! I am relieved!!

Itsumi- I don't think it was supposed to be wrong. Someone made it wrong on purpose. Someone who orchestrated this entire battle to go in my favor.

Mizumi- Aah, what do you mean by that?? Whatever it is, let's celebrate that you got the Dragon Part for now!!
