Fallen Stars

Mystery Ten

Revelation

Caffua: Let me ask you, Draco. What do you think your drive is? Is it, Ambition, or destiny?

Draco thinks to himself. Then with a joking smirk, he responded.

Draco: Easily, ambition.

Caffua: Easy decision?

Draco: Yeah, people with destiny, don’t or won’t go as hard as me, my drive is strictly “purpose”. I have things I want to do. I feel like I’m the most ambitious in the world!

Caffua: (.....) Hm. About your goal to change the world. What if the world is perfect, and there aren’t any problems? What will you do?

Draco responds without any hesitation.

Draco: I don’t care if the world is good or bad. If it's Evil or Just right now. We’re doing our own thing.

Caffua (dazed): …. I wanted to know.

Draco slightly turns his head to Caffua.

Caffua: Can you do it?

Draco: …?

Caffua: The rest of the world far exceeds anything you can possibly imagine. Your enemies will be strong too. Can you really “Change The World’’?

Caffua with a stern intense face looks at how he responds.

Draco (laughs and smiles): Of course, I can. Or should I say 'we'? Hahaha.

Draco continues to laugh. Caffua brings one finger up.

Caffua: I don’t want you using them, Draco.

Draco takes a sip from his tea, then stops.

Draco (smirks): I wonder who's using who.

Caffua: Hmph?

Caffua confused….

Draco: But forget about that Old Man C. This is our last night here. We should be staring off into the stars, remembering the good times!

Caffua: Yeah, Let’s do that.

As time passes by, the morning comes and the gang is up and ready to go. Bags packed, even Caffua has a bag. They are ready to set out onto the world. They all step outside with their animals….

Wrath: Whoa, Enma got bigger, Vega. Did you get taller too?

Enma is a larger shadow now, an abundant more shadow is attached to it.

Vega: Yeah, it seems Enma grew a lot. As for me, I guess I grew a little bit.

**Vega**

Height: 5’9

Wrath: Nice.

Vega: Zeus got bigger too, and you seem taller.

Wrath (laughing): A King soon to reign supreme!

Wrath put his arms out, with a smug smile. Zeus nodded, in the form of a badger, who is also bigger.

**Wrath**

Height: 6’3

Draco: Haha. We all grew up.

**Draco**

Height: 6’5

Draco's dragon flew around him, as they both got bigger.

The gang makes it to the training spot they’ve been at for 3 months. Reminiscing about the times, but still pushing forward.

Caffua: 50 miles of this desert and we’re at the edge of the continent.

Wrath: 50 miles? Should we just run there, that’ll be quicker. The last one there is the weakest.

Vega and Draco: We’re game!

The gang lines up, animals right beside them.

Caffua: Hold on wait….

Wrath: On your mark.

Vega: Get set.

Draco: GO!!!!

They all dash off leaving Caffua in the dust.

Caffua sighs, shaking his head.

Caffua: I’ll catch up to them.

Caffua holds onto his bag and katanas and starts flying, going to the coast.

As a few minutes pass by, he gets to the coast, and the gang stares off at the water. They all look stunned.

Caffua: So who won the race?

Vega: I did, but…..

Wrath: Forget all that, what is up with this water?

The water is rapid, clashing back and forth! Whirlpools form in the distance, and the water is very dark red, with no end in sight. They all look around and it's happening everywhere.

Caffua: You guys don’t know about the Scarlet Seas?

Vega, Wrath, and Draco: No.

Caffua: No ships can travel or personal boats. This type of water happens all around the world, all the oceans are like this. The cursed seas...

Staring out into the sea, zoning out, Draco starts balling up his fists.

Draco: (Wait, why am I mad?)

Vega: (So he wasn’t lying…)

Caffua: (...?) The only options of travel are flying over it, or driving over the connecting bridge.

Wrath: Where’s the bridge then?

Caffua: (???) You guys don’t…. Nevermind. Before that, I have something for you three.

Caffua dug through his bag.

Caffua: Got them.

He gets out a black lightweight hoodie jacket for Draco, black on the inside too. He pulls out an all-new black cloak with a crimson collar and throws it to Vega. Lastly, he gets out a black-blue hooded cape having multiple linings and sigils for Wrath. Black on the inside.

Wrath: Ohhh cool, It’s all black, with a different part of it being blue. Ah thanks, Caffua.

Caffua: Draco this is for you too.

Caffua throws him a brand new headband, a dark blue color. Draco grabs it and quickly switches his old headband without Caffua being able to see what was underneath. Caffua has a very confused expression.

Draco: Haha. Yeah, I practiced that alot.

Caffua: Whatever. Look at the back of each of your clothing.

They all turn around their clothes and see a personal design(besides Vega).

Wrath (grinning): Lightning all around, I don’t know what some of these symbols mean, but I know this one means crown! Yahahaha!

Wrath’s face is covered with joy.

Vega: All black, some dark red shading.

Caffua: Mhm.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Vega's expression is happy, but he tries to hide it.

Vega: I like it.

Draco: Full black jacket, I have a white star on the back of mine. With a star within that star…..

Draco looks up slowly to Caffua.

Caffua: Oh, last thing.

Caffua undoes his sword belt. As the gang put on their new clothing.

Caffua: These katanas are for you two. You definitely earned them, you surpassed my expectations.

Caffua throws his katanas over to Vega and Draco. They catch them.

Vega’s katana has a red and black color scheme. With a quadrangular tsuba (guard), while the handle is red with a diamond pattern. The first half of its sheath is red, while the second half is black.

Caffua: I know it’s not “the one”, Vega. But please accept it.

Vega: Of course, I will. I don’t have a sword anyway. Ahaha, we’re going over with at least some weapons.

Caffua: Like it, Draco?

Draco gazes at it.

Draco: I do.

Draco’s katana has a blue and black color scheme. With a star-shaped tsuba (guard), while the handle is black with a star pattern. The sheath is all black.

Caffua: Not mad, Wrath?

Wrath: Nah, I’m good. I want a different type of weapon. Swords are boring.

Caffua: Have this.

Caffua tosses over his double gourd bottle. Wrath catches it.

Wrath: Wait, for real?

Caffua: I don’t need it.

Wrath pops it open and takes a sip. He looks muddled.

Wrath: What… It’s water.

Caffua: What did you think was in it?

Vega interjects.

Vega: What are the names of these katanas?

Caffua: Them being yours now, you pick the names.

Vega: Hmmm.

Vega and Draco start thinking, then spark a few names.

Draco: I think I got mine.

Draco puts the sword out in front of him.

Draco: Star’s Judgement.

Vega: Now mine, this will be the start of our adventure.

Vega holds his sword up in the air, with a closed-mouth smile.

Vega: Jigoku.

AN* Jigoku (地獄), meaning Hell.

Caffua (cheerful): Both are great names.

Both the katanas start glowing, then stop.

Draco (shocked): Whoa, what was that?

Draco and Vega looking at their katanas. Draco’s sword now has stars going across the blade, Vega’s has a flame going across it.

Caffua: That is what happens when you transfer ownership of katanas. All “special” katanas do it.

Vega: Do you have to get consent from the previous owner?

Caffua: Yes. You have to get consent. Even to be able to wield it, you need consent from the owner. Or just killing them.

Vega: ….

Caffua hands them both swordsman belts. Vega ties his on and puts his sword on his hip under his cloak. Draco wraps it on his back, putting his sword on his back.

Caffua: Now, let’s get you guys over to the main continent.

Wrath: How will we cross? We have no bridge and I don't think we all can fit on Zeus.

Zeus starts shaking its head. Signaling no!!

Caffua goes through his pockets.

Caffua: Also this, I almost forgot. Here, take this. You each get Five Thousand Sols.

Draco (greatly surprised): 5K?! Each?!

Caffua: It’s not much, but spend it wisely.

Caffua hands them the money. He hands them 5 one thousand bills. The sols are blue.

Wrath (happy): Thanks so much!

Caffua: But… Sorry, I lied.

Wrath, Vega, and Draco: Hmph?

Caffua uses his power and lifts all of them, including their animals.

Wrath: This is... Telepathy?

Caffua: That’s what I lied about, I have another power. Telekinesis.

Caffua with a saddened face.

Caffua: (Should I let this evil into the world?)

Draco (stern tone, and face): What are you doing, Old Man?

**Flashback to

3 Months Beforehand.**

A phone is ringing and Caffua picks up.

Caffua: Hola.

Draconis (joyful): Hahaha, Dad, you're still doing that?

Caffua (cold tone): What do you need...... son?

Draconis: Dang, why did you say it like that? I was wondering if you can train my son, Draco.

Caffua: No. That's all?

Draconis: C’mon, Dad. He’s a good kid. But he won’t take any lessons from me. He’s trying to outdo me.

Caffua: I don’t even know what he looks like. I never got to see him.

Draconis: Well, now you’ll get to see him. You’ll know him when you see him. He should be alone unless he meets up with those delinquents he used to be friends with.

Caffua: So you want me to take care of three, maybe four delinquents? For over a year?!

Draconis: No, no. Just three months. Draco is a fast learner. That's all it’ll take.

Caffua: Three months? Hmmm. I can do that, but you'll have to reimburse me for the whole time.

Draconis: Ok, deal. Just a warning…

Caffua: What? Does he have anger issues?

Draconis: No, no, no, he has an itsy bit of darkness about him.

Caffua: Oh good, of course he does.

Draconis (happy): It’s your Grandson! Take care of him. Gotta go. Graduation will start soon. Thanks again!

Caffua: Sure….

**Back to the Present.**

Caffua still remembers his son saying “It’s your Grandson!”

Caffua: I’m sending you to the Mainland. The trip will take about 3 days. I packed enough food for 3 days, but still c

Vega: Do you know where we will land?

Caffua: It should be, The Continent: Pistol.

Wrath (concerned): (Pistol? Ah shit, I still have that thing in my bag. Let me put this gourd in there too.)

Vega: Ok.

Wrath: Thanks for everything.

Draco and Vega: Yeah... thanks.

Caffua: Off you go.

Caffua sends them speeding over the water, as the crew has to sit back for three days!!

Caffua (thrilled): My grandson and his friends are going to cause a lot of chaos!!

Caffua turns around and flies back to his Hot Spring. He walks in, and something comes up out of the basement. It’s a large panda, chewing on some bamboo.

Caffua: Hi Lex, how are you doing?

Lex (angry): (Don’t “Hi Lex” me, you bastard. You said stay down there and protect the eggs for two weeks and now it’s been another whole two months.)

Caffua (apologetic): Sorry sorry, I didn’t want to frighten them after a hard day of training. So I never got to introduce you to them.

Caffua goes to sit down.

Lex (still angry): (Fuck off.)

Lex goes and lays down in front of Caffua. Chewing on some bamboo as Caffua sets up his tea ready to read a good book. Also waiting on his son to come to pay his debt off. As he hums a little.

Caffua: Hmm... Hmmm.

**Caffua**

Stellar: XX

Cosmic Path: Telepathy & Telekinesis

Animal: Mo Panda (Legendary)

Epithets: Wandering Samurai, Protector

Hours pass and he’s just sitting in his chair reading a book. Then a portal opens up in front of them and outruns someone, huffing, and puffing.

[We are taken back,

A few minutes before this.]

Draconis: Let me go check and see if they left already.

Diadem: No, you’re going to stay here and help me clean.

Draconis: It’s a five-minute trip, baby. In and out. I can’t even be seen so I have to be fast.

Diadem: All this stuff we have to do, and you want to just leave?

Draconis (getting loud): I’ll be right back!

Diadem (getting mad): No!

Draconis (depressed): Alright... Fine! I’ll start in the backyard.

Diadem (happy): Good. I want the grass cut and make it look nice, my friends are coming over tomorrow.

Draconis: Alright, alright, alright.

Draconis walks out to the yard and summons a portal and runs through.

Diadem (gets infuriated): Draconis!! .....Well, I have some time, I’m not cleaning up until he gets back.

[Present]

Draconis comes running through the portal, seeing his dad and Lex just looking at him.

Draconis: Yo, what’s up pops?

Caffua (cold): Draconis.

Draconis goes to sit down beside his dad.

Draconis: Hey, Lex. Been a minute.

Lex (cold also): (Fuck off.)

Draconis: Whoa dad, that’s how you really feel?

Caffua: I mean…. If you're looking for your kid he just left. I sent them.

Draconis: Good, good. He probably doesn’t want to see me. He’s probably still hung up on the dying thing.

Caffua: Oh, he didn’t seem hung up on it to me.

Draconis: He didn’t? Well, how did the training go?

Caffua: Went great actually. They were able to train in harsh conditions and weren’t even phased by the desert. Especially in this gravity for twelve hours a day.

Draconis: Really? Wait, “they”?

Caffua: Yeah. The eggs that hatched were raijū, mikaboshi, and a red dragon. You can already guess the dragon.

Draconis (overwhelmed): Three of them?! Who were they?!

Caffua: Draco, Vega, and Wrath.

Draconis: So he was with his friends. (That’s the crowd he wants to be around.)

Draconis holds up a fist of rage, he has an image of Wrath with an evil grin and Vega with a pissed-off face in his head.

Caffua: Training went well, even though we had a Fight.

Draconis (gets serious): Fight?! Who was it? *jumps up*

Caffua: Don’t worry, it was a fight between Draco and Vega, a friendly duel.

Draconis: Ok and….

Caffua: Draco won the fight.

Draconis (excited): That's my boy!!!

Caffua: (Even though a little moment happened.)

Caffua is thinking back to when Draco appeared behind Vega with a ferocious look.

Draconis: It seems everything is ok. Your Hot Spring isn't torn apart.

Caffua: Luckily, we’re good.

Draconis: How much did you tell them about Cosmos and Stars? And how much do I owe you?

Caffua: Ahh, I only gave them the basics. I didn’t want to spoil everything, they needed to get out and explore the world for themselves. Figure everything out on their own time. Now. Hmmm, let me tally it up.

Caffua grabs his finance book and starts jolting things down.

Caffua: Three months' worth of food for three people, two months and two weeks of animal food, and 15k total at the end. So……. about 100K.

Draconis’ eyes light up with cheapness.

Draconis: Whoa. That much?

Caffua: *sighs* Are you still that cheap?

Draconis: Not cheap, just frugal with my money.

Caffua: You and I both know you’re good for it.

Caffua pulls out his red card, with a “T” on it, waiting on his son.

Draconis: Agh. Ok.

Draconis takes out his blue card, also with a “T” on it, and taps Caffua’s card transferring the 100k.

Caffua: Thank you. You taught him well. He never revealed his last name to me.

Draconis: Hahaha, yeah. I told him to keep it a secret.

Caffua: I also asked Draco’s little friends who the leader was to see if there was any inner turmoil, and they both said Draco is the leader.

Draconis (energetic): My boy!

Caffua: But that Vega one, he has his own hell to worry about, and that Wrath one, he has this certain space around him… And Draco... *sees Anti in his head*... that darkness…

Draconis has a weird look on his face...

Caffua: All three of them... they all took different martial arts… like, to cover each other. Or, were they training beforehand for something else…

Draconis sits, pondering, while Caffua gathers himself and speaks up.

Caffua: Alright, last thing before I kick you out.

Draconis: You’re kicking me out?!

Caffua leans forward with a serious face.

Caffua: You know, a Very Destructive Star is born every 3 generations.

Draconis looks over to Caffua.

Draconis (smiling): Hahaha. Was Grandma crazy?

Caffua with a grimey grin…

**Meanwhile...

Back to

Wrath, Vega, and Draco**

Wrath’s face is covered in amazement.

Wrath: This water is crazy.

Vega’s usual expressionless face.

Vega: Flying over it is even crazier.

Draco lay back, hands behind his head, eyes closed.

Draco: ….

Wrath: Man. It’s a bubble of telekinesis. I wonder if we can stand up in it.

Wrath goes to stand and gets in his new martial arts stance.

Wrath: You can stand perfectly. Alright. *continues* Dei-

Draco (sits up and interrupts): Wrath.

Wrath: Huh?

Draco: Let me say something before we make it over.

Wrath: Alright.

Wrath goes to sit back down. Draco stands up in front of them, looking forward. His face has nothing but a determined smirk on it.

Draco: They always say, there are only two options for us. Either dead or in jail, but they never mention the third option. Behind the scenes, making real money! We all have problems, keeping to ourselves, and our egos. That’s not good for the group. We have things we want to accomplish, and we have to work together to do them!

Wrath and Vega (both nod): Mhm.

Draco raises both of his hands, clenching his fists!

Draco: Wrath’s Goal: Conquering all the Kingdoms! Vega’s Goal: Destroying the Army! And finally mine…

Draco raises his voice! Yelling into the sky!!

Draco (big smile): Killing all of the Gods!! We, Will, Do It! You Have To Yell It Into Existence! Let's Get It Done!

Wrath and Vega (full of excitement): Hell Yeah!

All of their animals nod in agreement!! Draco is seen with his right arm still raised, he starts creating a vibrant red star, and just laughing evilly. With Vega smirking, and Wrath grinning behind him.

Draco: Isn’t that right… Apocalypse.

Apocalypse (Draco’s dragon) flies up and circles him with a fierce look.

Draco: Hahahahahahahaha!!

AN* Apocalypse, meaning the complete final destruction of the world.

Draco has a plotting expression plastered across his face. His head is tilted down a little bit, only seeing his eyes barely, but they have an evil synergy too.

Inside of Draco’s inner world is Anti, still chained up, and has a certain look.

Anti: What a great revelation.

[The Ending of the,

Age of Revelation Arc!!

The Next Movement!

Onward To The Mainland!]
