Narrator- Elite Soldiers- 7 Externals and 2 Internals
Ginto- 4 Externals and 1 Internal
(Tea Stall, 6:35 p.m., Day 34- The Day of the 12th External Dragon Part)

All the Elite Soldiers were gathered at the Tea Stall to discuss who would go where to find the last External Dragon Part.

Ayumi- Ah, this feels a little nostalgic. All of us gathered here like this, bringing back memories of the second external part.

Raiden- Hopefully we won't lose like that time.

Livon- Why are we even having this meeting at a tea stall while having tea??!! Shouldn't this be taken a little more seriously?!!

Tegan- Ah, it's alright. Ginto has the previous external part with him, so it's not like he would like to come and spy on us. So why don't you chill up a bit?

Hinaka- That's great and all, but we can't forget that this is the last external part, and if somehow we don't get this, winning the last internal part and the overall carnival would be very tough!!

Itsumi- That's very true. We have to, at any cost, get this part and make our chances stronger.

Noren- So, what are we waiting for?? Let's start discussing where each of us would go!!

(At a Cliff)

Narrator- Standing at the last corner of the Dragon Country was Ginto, with the Dragon Part in his hands.

(Eldon enters the scene)

Eldon- Why didn't you fly away after you found it??

Ginto- Because I wanted to eliminate you, of course.

Narrator- Ginto shows off the Dragon Part, transforms it into "Alexandrite Earring" with his shakti, and then keeps it inside his pockets and zips it up.

Ginto- Defeat me, and then take it. I'd rather take every dragon part I have. (opens both sides zip and shows all the dragon parts being kept)

Narrator- Eldon takes out his katana and runs towards Ginto.

Eldon- CLOUD SUMMON-FOG!!

Ginto- BONE WINGS

Narrator- Ginto creates his bone wings to fly over the fog; Eldon follows him by gliding over a cloud he created.

Ginto also takes out his own sword and then charges towards Eldon while using his bone wings.

Eldon blocks Ginto's sword with his own katana, and as he does, Ginto extends his free hand and fires bone bullets, which pierce Eldon's stomach.

Rather than the bullets hurting Eldon, they passed right through him, as it wasn't Eldon's real body but a cloud clone created by him.

Eldon appears from Ginto's left, attempting a surprise attack, but Ginto anticapted it and was going to counter it. But before he could, a cloud tsunami was summoned.

Eldon- CLOUD SUMMON-CLOUD TSUNAMI!!

Narrator- Ginto thought he was a step ahead of Eldon, but actually it was the opposite. Eldon uses the cloud tsunami as an act of confusion and ends up slashing his katana at Ginto's back, including his head.

Ginto quickly turns back and swings his sword at Eldon, but he quickly moves back with his cloud glide.

Ginto slowly touched the back of his head and saw blood.

Ginto- You are going to pay dearly for this!! BONE MULTIPLIER: GIANT LEG!!

Narrator- Like a footballer who kicks at the ball, Ginto kicks the air; as a result, a giant leg was intimated, just below Eldon, attempting to kick him in place of the ball.

Luckily, Eldon moved backwards just in time and avoided it. But instantly, a giant fist appeared and hit him directly. Eldon went flying; the speed at which he was thrown was so high that he couldn't keep it and create another cloud for him to glide over. He crashes into the ocean.

Eldon wasn't even done recovering when another giant fist appeared, which hit him again and led him straight underwater. The giant fist kept on pushing him down. Eldon, meanwhile, tried to find his katana but couldn't do so as it fell down to the water when the first fist got connected.

Eldon- DRAGON CLAW!!

Narrator: Unable to find his weapon, Eldon decided to use his own hand as one. He replicates it as a dragon's claw and tries to sever Ginto's giant fist, which kept on pushing him. The giant fist disappeared, as every damage done to giant body parts is transferred to the real body.

With this, a sense of tranquility surrounded the atmosphere. Ginto, who was standing still in the air using his bone wings, was expecting a surprise attack from Eldon.

After a while, Eldon, like a fish, appeared out of the water, created a cloud, glided over it, and looked to stab Ginto from behind.

Ginto, meanwhile, stood still and concentrated on using his Shakti sensing ability. He ignored the clone Eldon, which was charging towards him from behind, and instead threw his sword at the real Eldon, which was still hiding in the water, looking for the right moment to attack. The sword ended up piercing Eldon's left shoulder.

Eldon- Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Ginto(with a smirk)- Hmph!!

Eldon(with a smirk)- Now, suck this bitch!!

Narrator- The 7-Layer Cloud Circle attack got released from directly above Ginto.

Ginto (with a stunned face)- Ohhh??!!!!!! BONE ARMOR!!

Narrator: Ginto attempts to neutralize some of the damage by shielding himself with the help of his bone armor. But unfortunately for him, he was only able to cover half his body with armor; the other half got destroyed. If someone were to look at it, it would look like it had been burned at the highest temperature.

Ginto was pushed into the water, and Eldon took this opportunity to go back to the cliff using his cloud gliding.

Eldon- Damn this sword. I can't even take it out!! Too much blood would be lost if I did.

Narrator- Eldon simply sits down on the ground and decides for Ginto to make a move.

After a while, a hand appeared at the corner of the cliff, from where Ginto climbed up.

Ginto- You really thought you could get rid of me so easily?? Hahaha!!

Narrator- Ginto begins the process of moulting, where he cracks open his chest and appears with his new exoskeleton.

Ginto- You could do me as much damage as you want, but you just wouldn't be able to kill me. I am invincible.

Eldon- Shut the fuck up, you bastard!!

Ginto (while grinding his teeth): Sheesh!! Nevermind, it's okay. I heard from someone that you actually quite admire God the Dragon, huh? Is that true??

Eldon- Hmph, so what if it is?

Ginto- This tone!!! (takes deep breaths) You see, I have a tattoo of the dragon on my arm, and I am its admirer as well.

Eldon- Ohhh, how cool!!! Coool brooo!! Soo cool!!!

Ginto- Motherfucker, you are dead!!!

Eldon- Not before you are!! Come forth, KING OF THE CLOUDS-CUMULONIMBUS!!

Narrator: All the small clouds in close proximity started moving away, making way for the cumulonimbus cloud, which covers the entire troposphere of the planet, to appear.

Eldon (while coughing blood)- Just a little more. Then Stage 4 would be mine!!

Narrator- A 1500-foot giant cloud hand got formed, heading straight at Ginto. As it looks to grab him, he transforms into the "Bone Dragon" and fires multiple bones at Eldon.

Eldon (in his mind)- I lost...... I yet again lost. I promised myself after my defeat against Hinaka that I would never lose again, but I failed.

Narrator- The bone dragon flies towards Eldon and then stands on his chest.

Eldon (in his mind)- I am sorry, God Dragon. But this will be it.

Narrator- Bone Dragon bites off Eldon's left shoulder, plucks it, and throws it away.

This was it. Eldon was already losing a lot of blood; after losing an arm, he had no chance of surviving. He instantly went unconscious, barely breathing.

Bone Dragon, meanwhile, reverts back to Ginto, takes his sword, creates his bone wings, and flees away.

The giant cloud hand, when it appeared, was visible to all the Elite Soldiers, so they were already making their way to the cliff. Upon reaching them, they instantly took Eldon to the hospital.

(Outside the ICU)

Noren(with a tense face)- He took things too far. He should have just given up and let ginto take the dragon part!!

Mizumi(to noren)- Would you have done that??

Noren- Sheesh.....!!

(A doctor comes out of the ICU)

Tegan- Whats the status, doctor??

Doctor- He has lost too much blood; would any of you be willing to donate some?? His blood group is B-positive.

Livon- I also have a B-positive!! Take as much as you want!!

Doctor- Okay, kindly come with me. (Then they left)

Raiden- They can fight as much as they want, but deep inside their hearts, they care about each other.

Narrator- Livon donated the blood, and then the doctors continued with their operation. After a while, the doctor again came outside from the ICU.

Doctor- I am sorry, but he is dead.

Tegan- What????!!!!!! That can't be!!!!

Mizumi- You surely must be mistaken; he isn't the party to die so easily!! Go and check again!! I am sure he will be fine.

Doctor- I wish that was the case.

Raiden- Was that blood not enough, then??

Doctor- No, it was not that either. His heart stopped functioning; it couldn't deliver oxygen to the entire body. That's the reason.

Tegan(while crying)- Please tell me this is a lie!! Please, please tell me this is a lie!! (doctor shakes his head)

Narrator- Everyone was heartbroken after what they had heard; some of them cried, and some of them kept their faces down.

Livon(in his mind)- You can't die so easily, you bastard. There was so much we were supposed to do together. (a tear drops down)

(Eldon's Parents House)

Eldon's Dad(while keeping a hand on his heart)- I am getting this certain feeling of uneasiness.

Eldon's Mom: Yeah, me too. And it's about eldon.

(A Certain Blank Space)

Eldon(after waking up)- Where... where am I?? My arm!!! Its gone!!! Now I remember!!! I am...... mostly likely, dead. (looks around) Is this... what is called an afterlife??

God Dragon- No, this is not an afterlife. You are between the living and the dead world right now.

Eldon(with a stunned face)- GOD DRRAAGONN????!! Is this truly you??!!!! (touches its body) It is real! My god!!! (bows down) I am truly honored to meet you, my lord!!! I always knew you existed!! I always felt like someone was watching over me; I knew it in my heart that it was you!!! Thank you for always being there.

God Dragon- I saw you getting defeated and killed.

Eldon(with a disappointed face) I am ashamed of that. I won't make any excuses; it was my own fault. I was weak.

God Dragon- Do you wish to have another chance?? In life, that is.

Eldon(with a stunned face)- Huh?!!

God Dragon- Do you?? Answer me quickly.

Eldon- Yess!!! Absolutely!!!

God Dragon- Okay. I will give you another chance then. This time, show me what you will be capable of.

Eldon- But why me?? Why do you especially wish to give me a chance?

God Dragon- A god has to show his devotees its power from time to time, otherwise then people would stop believing in it. I saw how much of a devotee you were, so this is your reward.

Eldon(with a smile)- Thank you, thank you so much, God!! I will never stop believing in you!! I will always remember this moment. (then eldon vanishes)

God Dragon- Yeah, you won't, because I will make you forget it.

(Nurse comes running outside to the doctor)

Nurse- Doctor, doctor, he is alive!! The defibrillator did the trick!!!

Livon(in his mind)- Thank you, God, Dragon!!

(Eldon's Parents House)

Eldon's Dad- He is alright.

Eldon's Mom- Yes, I know that. He is my child after all.
