The Warrior Prince
The news that Fang was alive gave great joy to Mobius as the great fox landed in the hangar, while inside Fang was dressed in his armor and was feeling nervous since he never had a welcome home ceremony before as Tamati handed him his helm also dressed in his armor.
"Nervous?"
"A little yeah...."
"It's easy. just smile and wave and do something to get the people riled up."
"Thanks...."
Fang took a deep breath as the doors of the hangar opened and as the blinding light faded away he began to hear the sounds of cheering and his people chanting one name over and over.
"DRAGON CHAMPION!!! DRAGON CHAMPION!!!"
The fear soon left Fang as he stared at the crowd who welcomed him as a true war hero, he began waving to them as he and the team paraded through the streets until at last they came to castle acorn where his mother and father awaited him along with the rest of the royal family.
Fang kneeled before all of them as he drew his sword and placed it in front of him. Sally was the first to greet him as she brought him up from his knees to hug him crying tears of joy seeing her son alive and well.
"Mother....I'm sorry if I made you worry."
"I'm just glad you're back home....and i'd like you to meet our newest court member."
As part of the crowd disperesed Fang saw his girlfriend Fara dressed as if she were a real princess, seeing her brought much joy to his heart as she held for the first time in weeks and he could see that his child would be born in the months to come as she brought his hand to her belly to feel their growing offspring.
His grandfather King Maxamillian stepped down from the castle escorted by his royal guard and General Antoine, Fangs old partner in the freedom fighters.
"People of Mobius!! in honor of my grandsons return I shall host a feast so that all of high or low class may partake in the celebration!! let it be known that on this day our kingdom has been blessed with Fang! Dragon Champion of Mobius and Higlord of the Dragon Knights!!!"
Fang rose his head in surprise, his grandfather was actually going to restore the old order of the dragon knights as the crowd roared and began chanting the hero name they gave their prince.
"DRAGON CHAMPION!!! DRAGON CHAMPION!!!!"
Hours later the feast was in full swing, the air was filled with music and laughter, the smell of roasting meat filled the air and in the center sat the royal family and the court members, as the festivities continued there came a sudden explosion at the northern gate of the city and the sounds of screeching and snarls filled the air.
"APAROIDS!!! TO ARMS!! DEFEND THE CITY!!!"
The people began to scream in terror as the beasts filled the sky and their city began to burn and within moments the streets were filled with both soldiers and aparoids dying all around.
"Fara! get into the castle and wait for me! i'll join you soon!"
"Be careful....I don't want to lose you again."
"You won't."
Fang rallied the royal guard while his family entered the castle. Fox and the others also joined in as they fought their way to the great fox to retrieve their arwings and Tamatis armor. As the battle raged on Fang railled all the soldiers to the town square where a bunker had been assembled and from it Fang could see the one leading the attack.
"Yees!! slay them all!! Feed the swarm!!!"
"YOU!!!"
Pigma had become infected, his body became mutated, his skin was like an insects and he was more fatter than ever and his body was now part of his ship.
"Soon you will all serve the swarm...."
"PIGMA!!! I knew that you were a greedy bastard but this is a new low even for you! attacking innocent lives, disrupting a celebration for my people and now YOU ATTACK MY HOMELAND?!? I'm going to finish what I started at your base and slay you where you now stand!!!!"
"Bold words Dragon Champion....let's see you back them up..."
"FIRE ALL GUNS!! FIRE!! FIRE!!!"
The ground became ablaze with gunfire while Fang activated his suit and tackled Pigma out of the air and into the outskirts of the city. The fight instantly took off as Pigma broke the hull of his ship lashing out at Fang with spiked tentacles.
Using his shield and speed Fang weaved past the attack and slashed off several tentacles allowing him to blast Pigma with his cannons but as the smoke cleared Pigma only recieved a few burn marks and the tentacles that Fang cut off held his arms and legs allowing Pigma to stab one of his claws into him and slowly he began to become infected.
"RRRGH!!!!"
"Give in Dragon Champion...Become part of the swarm...bow to our queen..."
Slowly Fang began to feel his mind become weak as the infection began to take place, soon images of his friends began to flash in his mind and when the image of Fara and his unborn child appeared and suddenly his will returned and his strength grew immensely as he broke Pigmas grip and the dragon fire burned around his body.
"Impossible!!"
"I WILL NEVERR SERVE YOU!!!!"
Fangs armor suddenly became golden and his wrist guards and spaulders were decorated with sharp sinister blades and Foe reaver transformed into a giant great sword that glowed with the dragon fire itself.
"By the dragons fire-BUUURRRN!!!!"
As Fang cleaved Pigma with his sword the dragon fire burned his body to ashes as he screamed in agony, the fire was bright enough to create a beacon of light that all in the kingdom could see and soon the aparoids ran in fear and the people began to cheer for their victory.
"Fox what was that?"
"Fang...."
Meanwhile Fang deactivated his armor and found that his infection was completely gone and his sword remained the same and upon his return his friends saluted him and his people bowed before him. While the city was recovering from the attack Fang noticed Tamati working on his armor.
"Tamati?"
"Yeah?"
"There's something I forgot to do when you got that armor. Lay out your hand."
As Tamati laid out his hand Fang slit his palm and allowed Tamati to do the same, as they joined hands the dragon fire suddenly began to enter Tamatis body as Fang gave a pledge of honor.
"Through our blood and blades we share each others courage as well as each others fear...In victory or death we shall always protect the ones we love. From this day forward I welcome you as a brother of the Dragon Knights."
The End.
