It's Time To Conquer Earth Again! (Dragon Challenge- Juelz)

[ 4 8 - H O U R S - P R I O R ]

Twenty meters underground—in an abandoned bunker within The Dragon Terrance, The Earthbound Dragon explored its dusted and cobweb infested depths; the new tenants being overgrown Blattodea that scurried for cover upon sensing the augmented intruder. The bunker was decrepit and musty, years of neglect and non-human occupants more than apparent. A single digit traced a smooth stone structure, a great amount of dust and gunk coating The Beast's finger in the process. Something otherworldly beckoned for the Dragon, that earthy hide of his caressed gently by something not of this plane. No matter how much effort he put towards ignoring the sensation, the whispers and chills only grew greater and happened more frequently. The markings inking his back from the long-ago bout with the previous Earth Dragon burning deeply, that same discomfort and pain he endured during that faithful confrontation a little more than a year ago. The corporeal beast resting dormant within the boy speaking—mumbling incoherent phrases that meant nothing to the youth. Juelz gained full control over the strength of Genbu, capable of accessing any amount of power within the titanic dragon's arsenal at any given moment and with disasters effect. But durning the beckoning period, the beast grew restless; expelling his ether at a whim and causing drastic effects to the host body—Juelz' body.

He was exhausted.

However, within the hidden bunker. Genbu settled down, once a raging tsunami of raw power, but now a lapping wave carried by a light breeze. Juelz took a step away from the monument, the Dragon's green-tinted ether radiating around him without his will to merit such a feat. The ether twisted and morphed into the head of Genbu, floating a few feet in front of the beast's host, the titanic beast boomed a mighty roar. In the aftermath of such a display of dominance, Juelz winced at the intensified burning along his back. He remained on both feet, teeth grinding with great force until the pain would subside as it always did. Moments passed and the teenager recollected shambled bearings, the green-tinted energy still floating around his person. Vision slightly dazed from the experience, almond irises caught the glimpse of a trail, a trail that lead deeper into the underground vault. The otherworldly forces gestured for him to continue onward, a great force from behind the lad pushing him forward and almost causing him to trip over discarded debris. A quick turn with primed senses and Juelz saw nothing; absolutely nothing that could have pushed him with enough force to make him stumble forward. A sly smirk tugged at the corner of full-lips, he understood what needed to be done. Was he afraid? Fuck no—what did he have to fear? Genbu empowered him to press forward, the ether now rejuvenating and back under his full control. So, with amble steps, he ventured deeper into the dark vault. Fully unaware of the wonders that awaited for him at the end of the tunnel.

The pulsating glow from the ether made it bright enough for him to see, and what he saw honestly amazed him. Like the corroded monument out front, this long tunnel held the same looking statues. Modern day people captured in epic-esque poses with what looked like an element associated with them. Each had a pedestal with an element, the universal sign of said element. He saw: Wood, Fire, Ice, Mountain, Space, and even time. Then characters in different dialect which all read one thing "Dragon". There were easily hundreds of these miniature monuments, each holding a legacy behind it. Juelz had a good suspicion on what this represented; it represented unity and brotherhood. The greatest Dragon's have their names forever remembered by those lucky enough; no; worthy enough to stumble across the vaults. By the way this bunker held, something told him this probably wasn't the only underground vault associated with The Dragons. Still awestruck by it all, the boy realized he hit a dead in, an onyx colored wall that gave a slight breeze. However, the trail leading through the wall. Not only that, but the sudden yearning to touch the blackness of the wall overcame him—he slowly rose his hand and did just that...

Everything went black.

A gasp of air as he blinked away from the brightness of the room. Where was he? Juelz stood in the center of a room with nothing but more statues encircling him on the outskirts, watching him with still eyes. The burning from the back markings pulsated a jolt of pain through his entire being. Wincing, he heard a voice behind the ringing of his ears. Juelz looked dead ahead, and despite the dazed vision, he laid eyes on Genbu, the full portion of the beast. Towering at massive four stories high, the boy was nothing but a mere speck to the colossal creature. "A mere mortal such as yourself is no longer fit to carry this title. You've very little need of it, child." Juelz took a step forward and swallowed that lump trapped in his throat. So, what was he to do? "The reign of The Earth Dragon is to end, strip the title of it's power and allow new life to blossom." It all made sense, like a older sibling who out grew their current garb, they'd hand it down to the new generation—hand-me-downs, if you will. Juelz extended his right arm to touch the nostril of the beast, his Rokushiki blossoming allowing the mutation to operate at full capacity. His eyes grew red while his sclera turned an eerie black. The dimensions tore as a type of black hole appeared behind the boy, the entire bunker slowly being sucked into the Endless Void that made up his Rokushiki. Then, before he knew it, everything collapsed, seemingly burying him under twenty meters of dirt and stone. Half of the Dragon Terrance would shift into the vacant hole that made up the underground bunker—only a single door shutting off the isolated devastation. And, from behind this door, Juelz emerged with an emblem clutched firmly in grip.

It was all over.

Levi's search proved fruitless as The Earthbound Dragon was no where to be seen, however, the further he searched, he'd stumble across the empty throne of The Dragon he wished to conquer. Opening the door, he'd see nothing but a empty crater with a glowing emblem for him to claim if he sought it. With the chapter of one story closed, another began anew; a hatchling would hatch; and a new dragon would take to the skies. Go forth, Dragon. Live up to your namesake like the ascended beast before you.
