The Legend of Dragoon

In-Depth Plot

Tens of thousands of years ago, a magical land was developed by the divine creator Soa.  Soa planted a Divine Tree that bore 108 different fruits.  Races came from these fruits.  The mighty dragons were the 105th race, the humans were the 106th, the magical Winglies were the 107th, and the 108th were a mysterious race which was called Virage which was supposed to be the god of destruction.  But why would any creator want to destroy their greatest masterpiece?

The story begins as a mysterious dark-haired woman overlooks green fields.  It becomes evident that she is secretly following a giant green dragon who is later revealed to be Feyrbrand.  Below the woman in the fields sits the hero, Dart who is thinking about the current war.  Before he can think too deeply, he hears a roar and a bevy of footsteps rushing towards him.  Two guards approach Dart and begin to question him but are interrupted by Feyrbrand.  Knowing that the dragon is far more powerful than himself, Dart flees with the jade dragon quickly pursuing.  When it looks like all hope is lost, the dark-haired woman saves him.  She reveals herself to be Rose.  She updates Dart on the current status of his hometown, Seles, and that it has been attacked.  Still confused, Dart rushes back to Seles.

He arrives to find the village decimated.  After fighting off the commander of the attack, he talks with the survivors.  They reveal to Dart that his childhood friend, Shana was captured by Emperor Doel and is being held in Hellena Prison.  After running through what seems to be a maze of a forest, Dart arrives at Hellena Prison.  He is able to enter by sneaking in behind a traveling merchant and his cart.  After sneaking his way past the guards in the prison, he has made it to the main prison cells.  As he arrives, he meets up with the Head of the FIrst Knighthood of the Kingdom of Serdio, Lavitz.  It is revealed that the warden of the entire prison is a cruel man named Fruegal.  Lavitz and Dart fight their way past his soldiers and find the key to Shana's cell.  After some brief reminiscing, they are ambushed but quickly dispose of more guards.  Dart, Shana, and Lavitz make their way back towards the main entrance but not without facing off against the big man himself, Fruegal.  After Fruegal is disposed of, the three friends escape into the forest.

As they are escaping, Lavitz is injured and they find cover after the guards are disposed of.  It is now that Dart reveals that he has been chasing after something called the Black Monster.  He seeks revenge for the monster murdering his parents.  In order to arrive at the nearest town, the group has to go through Limestone Cave where they eventually encounter Urobolus, a giant snake.  Just as Urobolus goes down, he makes one final attempt to attack Shana.  All of a sudden, a blue beam appears from Shana and annihilates the snake, then passes out. 

Once they arrive in the town on the other side of the cave, Bale, Dart, Shana, and Lavitz go look for the King of the land, King Albert.  After spending the night at Lavitz's mother's house, the trio head out for the town of Hoax.  When they arrive, they meet up with the commander of the town's army, Kaiser.  It is decided upon that Lavitz and Dart aid the town's defense against what seems to be a dragon attack.  In the middle of the night the town is attacked by the Sandorans.  After a difficult battle against an elite Sandora, Dart and Lavitz have to face off against his commander, the last of the race of the Gigantos.  The Giganto is revealed to be a fiercely loyal servant to the evil emperor Doel named Kongol.  As Dart jumps towards Kongol to finish him, Kongol knocks him down.  Fortunately for Dart, Rose shows up and saves him again by awakening a dormant power inside of Dart, the Red Dragon Spirit.  After Dart and Lavitz are mended back to full health, Rose will join the party.  She explains very little, especially about herself.  Before leaving Hoax she trains Dart in the art of Dragoon.

Shortly after the group left Hoax, they arrived in the Marshlands.  The group navigates the wet marshes and across tree branches to make their way to Volcano Villude.  They make their way through the extremely treacherous volcano to meet up with a member of the 108th species, a Virage.  After the Virage is defeated, Dart and the others are able to save someone other than themselves, a merchant hanging by his fingertips over a river of lava, Dabas.  Dabas gives Dart a gift and invites him to his shop in Lohan.  As the squad approaches the way out of the volcano they are attacked by a giant firebird, Piton.  After a tedious victory (and receiving the Red Eye Stone), the team find their way into a forest called the Dragon's Nest.

As soon as they enter the forest, it is easy to tell that it has been poisoned.  Shana is almost overwhelmed by it when it comes to be known that the poison is none other than the dragon's from the beginning, Feyrbrand.  Eventually they encounter not only Feyrbrand, but also Greham.  Greham was Lavitz's father's best friend until he betrayed him and caused his death.  Surprisingly Greham seems to be more powerful than the dragon.  As Greham is close to death, the spirit of the green dragon leaves him and finds a new master in Lavitz.

Now is when the three dragoons (and Shana) find themselves in their first large town, the aforementioned Lohan.  The team goes to the doctor to see why Shana is so sick.  From what the doctor can tell, she is fine and that it might be a mental state and says the only thing that can save her is the almost completely extinct Dragini Plant.  After paying their friend Dabas a visit and stocking up on supplies, the team makes their way past a branch blocking the path and make their way to the Shirley Shrine.  When they first enter the area, Dart, Lavitz, and Rose's dragoon spirits resonate.  After solving many puzzles, the group encounter Drake, a guardian of the shrine.  When that difficult and tedious battle is over, Shirley appears.  All she wants to do is talk and talk they do.  Once she hears what she wants to out of everyone, she gives Dart the Silver Dragoon Spirit.  Since the Dragini Plant cannot be found, the Dragoon Spirit is the only thing that can save Shana.  Before they depart, all that Shirley asks of them is that they heal Drake since he had always been a faithful servant.

Once they return to Lohan, they give the Shana the Dragoon Spirit and she makes a full recovery.  Not only is she ok but she is also a dragoon.  As a side-note, the doctor tells you of a hero contest that will be taking place shortly.  Dart and the others make their way to the auditorium and he registers.  While he is there he meets up with his old friend Haschel who is a ninja master.  They met while Dart was pursuing the Black Monster and he now joins the party.  After making it through the first four rounds, Dart gets annihilated by a man in black named Lloyd. Once the tournament is over, Dart gets some alone time with Shana and they go play games at a carnival-type event.  When everyone is leaving Lohan, a wounded soldier hobbles in and as he dies, informs Lavitz that King Albert had been captured by the enemy and would be killed in the morning. 

The squad gets to take a trip down memory lane because the King is being held where Shana was at the start, Hellena Prison.  While there, they have to fight Jiango who is the guardian of the prison.  Once they make it past him, they run into none other than Fruegal.  This time, though, he brought back-up in the forms of Goftas and Rodriguez, a dog and bird respectively.  Once Lavitz deals the final blow, he sees a cloaked attacker threatening King Albert.  Lavitz rushes toward the man turning into a dragoon in mid-air, when at the last second he is stabbed through the heart by a sword that is called the Dragon Buster, specifically designed to kill dragons and dragoons.  Although when the man stabs Lavitz his hood falls off to reveal that he is none other than Lloyd from the hero contest in Lohan. With his dying breath, Lavitz entrusts everything he has worked for to Dart and his dragoon spirit founds a new master in Albert.  Albert then proceeds to explain the state of his kingdom and the war.

After hearing the information, the group heads out to the Kazas where Albert's evil uncle, Emperor Doel resides.  Once the team makes it through several secret passages they emerge in the throne room only to find the completely new armored Giganto, Kongol. After a strenuous battle, Dart and the others head upstairs and find the Emperor.  Even though Doel is royalty doesn't mean that he's fragile.  Not only is he a skilled swordsman but is also the master of the thunder dragoon spirit.  Once he is defeated, he tells you where Lloyd is headed and his dragoon spirit is inherited by Haschel.

The team works off of their tip from Doel and heads to the nearby town of Fletz.  Dart only briefly catches a glimpse of the Princess of the town Emille.  Apparently she used to be sweet and caring but has turned bitter and mean.  After being recommended to go to several people to find out information about the princess, they decide to rest for the night then head out to the Barrens in the morning.  More on Princess Emille later.

So after getting a good night's rest, Dart and Co. head out to the Barren's on their way to the town of Donau.  Before they can arrive there, they encounter Mappi, a member of the Gehrich gang.  Mappi is an extremely fast martial artist which helps in his profession of being a thief.  After he is defeated, Dart goes in for the final blow only to hold back once Mappi asks for mercy.  Once Dart lets his guard down, Mappi knocked away his dragoon spirit.  Mappi escapes with it. When the confrontation is over the team arrives in Donau.  Apparently the mayor's son is about to be married but has not returned from when he tried to confront the bandits.  The worried fiance gives Dart a letter to give to the mayor and he agrees to help in any way possible.  Once they are supported by the mayor, they are told that the bandits' hideout is in the Valley of Corrupted Gravity.  There is one problem though.  They need permission from the King of Fletz to enter.  As the team leaves the mayor's building, they see a platinum-haired girl being harassed by bandits.  After a few moments she knocks them all out and introduces herself to be Meru who is a dancer in the town who carries around a giant hammer.  After seeing the ragtag crew, she becomes excited to tag along and joins the party.  Once they return to Fletz and find a way to get into the castle, they find the King of Fletz who allows them permission to enter.  Albert is pulled aside by Princess Lisa (Emille's sister) and is told that Emille's change in personality happened six months ago after a horse riding accident.

The squad eventually make their way out to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity, they are greeted by none other than a Virage.  Once they have searched the area they find themselves going to the Home of Gigantos.  When Dart and the others arrive, they encounter a gangster with Haschel's same martial arts techniques.  Once he is defeated he tells Haschel that Gehrich's chamber is behind a large circular rock.  Haschel musters up all of his strength to break the rock.  While everyone is looking around and Meru is tending to him, he knocks Meru over the head when she isn't looking and runs off.  Once Dart and Co. head north they see Haschel arguing with Mappi and Gehrich.  It turns out that Haschel was Gehrich's master.  After defeating the thieves, Haschel deals one final blow on Gehrich that knocks him into a giant structure.  Just before the structure crushes everyone, Kongol shows up and saves the group.  Like a plaything, Kongol throws the giant weight aside.  After seeing the friendships between the party members he decides to make peace with Dart and joins the party.  A regretful Gehrich dies in Haschel's arms.  Before he takes his final breath, he does tell Haschel that Princess Emille is actually a criminal named Lenus.  Before they leave Dart recovers his stolen dragoon spirit.  The mayor's son who they find there invites the group to the wedding.

After the ceremonies are complete, the team returns to Fletz as a Coming of Age Ceremony is happening and Emille will inherit the important Moon Dagger.  Dart and the others sneak into the castle and find Princess Lisa who says that her sister must be somewhere in the castle.  Once they find her, they quickly return to the King's Chamber.  Dart reveals who Emille actually is and Lenus tells everyone that she is actually a Wingly.  Lenus' strong magic almost takes out the party, but as she is about to be finished, she escapes by flying out the window (as the name implies, Winglies have wings and can fly in case there was confusion) with the moon dagger.  Their only hope of cutting her off was hurrying to Illisa Bay.  In order to get there, they board a ship called the Queen Fury back in Donau.  After the party talks to each other for awhile, their ship is broadsided by a ghostly ship aptly named the Phantom Ship.

The party boards the ghastly vessel and searches for the captain.  Along the way they find many items and treasure on the ship.  Once Dart finds the key to the captain's quarters they are face to face with the Ghost Captain of the ship and his four knights.  After a tedious battle against the ghosts, the ship begins to sink and the party hops back on the Queen Fury.  Everyone that is except for Dart and Rose.  They fall and black out.  Once the view is back, Rose has an unconscious Dart on her lap.  She will recall someone named Zieg and notice that Dart reminds her quite a bit of him.  Then she will have a full on flashback about the Dragon Campaign, when the Winglies and Virages were fighting the Dragoons and dragons 11, 000 years ago.  Apparently she was alive back then and fought in the battle.  One of the Dragoons that died was someone quite close to her named Zieg.

Once Dart wakes up he and Rose head to the nearest town of Fueno.  They see that the Queen Fury has docked and rush into the town to find everyone at the hotel.  When the reunion is over, the captain of the Queen Fury tells the party where he has heard that Lenus went next.  The crew heads to the Island of the Jailed Dragon and on that, the Undersea Cavern.  Once they make it deep into the cavern, they encounter not only Lenus but also Lloyd.  Apparently Lenus and Lloyd are lovers and she gives him the Moon Dagger.  Lloyd then goes on to tell Dart that he is the Black Monster.  After that Lloyd leaves Dart and the others to fight Lenus.  Lenus is apparently the master of Blue Sea Dragon spirit.  After the dragon and the beauty are defeated, Meru inherits her dragoon spirit.

The crew then returns to Fletz to see the real Princess Emille take her place on the throne.  After a thank you from the King the party disperses.  Shana and Dart walk out to the terrace and Shana confesses her true love for Dart much to his surprise.  Not much else is accomplished as they are hurried into the party.  Later that night, Shana and Dart share their first kiss.

The next day the team moves on to the city of Furni, only to see a group of mercenaries getting ready to head on into a forest to look for a boy named Teo and to kill his pet wolf, Kamuy, who has become violent.  Dart and Co. volunteer to help.  Before they do, though, they go to see the mayor and try to find out more information.  They are invited to stay for dinner by the mayor and his daughter named Fa who hasn't talked since she was attacked by Kamuy.  After dinner, Shana sings Fa a lullaby while Haschel listens.  Showing an odd curiosity he asks Shana where she had learned the song and said it was Dart.  The reason Haschel is curious is that his daughter Claire composed that very song.  Oddly Dart's mother sang him that song when he was a child.  After that Dart and Shana go to sit on the roof and look at the Moon.  Strangely Shana faints when she looks at it...

The next morning the team goes to Evergreen Forest to search for the wolf and the boy.  Once they confront them, the team has no choice but to take down the wolf.  After the battle Teo is extremely sad about the loss of his beloved pet, but Shana restores the wolf to his old, normal, lovable self using her dragoon spirit.  When they are done in the forest, Rose says that she will meet up with the party later but has to go running errands, being as mysterious as ever.  Meru is very homesick and says she needs to visit her family so she also departs from the party.  Next stop is the massive city of Deningrad.

Once the crew gets there they speak to the priest then goes to the library.  The librarian is amazed that Dart is the second survivor of the massacre at Neet.  The perspective then changes to Rose as she approaches a grave where a few guards and two women are standing.  One of the women is Sister Luanna who apparently is the other survivor from the day when the Black Monster decimated the town.  Apparently she lived because she was blind and that anyone who didn't see what happened did not need to die.  The perspective then changes to Meru who is at her home in the forest.  She is greeted by her fiance who is ecstatic to see her.  It is also apparent that he is a Wingly.  It is revealed the Meru is actually a Wingly!  He then reminds her that the rest of the city won't be as happy since it is taboo to leave their home on their own free will.  She is quickly greeted by a number of Winglies including her mother and father and is then thrown out of the city. 

Back in Deningrad, the rest of the crew watch as the Divine Dragon has broken free.  The Divine Dragon is the king of all dragons and was so powerful that not even the Winglies in their glory days with their magic could not stop it.  Only option they had was to seal it in the Mountain of the Mortal Dragon thousands and thousands of years ago.  When the squad is ready to leave Rose and Sister Luanna show up and rush to the castle where Queen Theresa resides, a very good friend of Sister Luanna.  Once everyone meets up with the Queen it is revealed that there are only two items that can stop the Divine Dragon - the Dragon Buster which Lloyd currently has and the Dragon Block Staff.  Both belong to the Winglies.  Meru then shows the way to the entrance of the Forest of the Winglies.  As the party leaves however, they notice Shana is not with them.  When they go back to find her she is very weak on her knees in a room off to the side of the throne room.  Dart hurries to her side when she says she is too weak to move on.  At that moment, her White Silver Dragoon spirit left her and found a new master in the Queen's right hand woman, a fierce warrior whose name is Miranda.  Shana wakes up in time to say good bye and tell Miranda to take care of everyone while she stays in Deningrad to recover.

Meru leads them to the Wingly village and they are lead to the Ancestor who teleports them to the Forbidden Land where the Dragon Block Staff is located.  After going through puzzles and one nasty Virage, the team come to the staff and try to take it.  It is then revealed there is a guardian of the staff called the Grand Jewel.  After a tough battle, the party emerges victorious.  As they are returning to be teleported back to the Wingly Forest, they see none other than the Divine Dragon fly by overhead towards Deningrad.  Dart and the others hurry back to the Wingly Forest where they are quickly teleported to Deningrad by Ancestor Blano and Meru's parents.

They arrive too late, the city is decimated.  Thinking quickly of the Queen and Shana, the group sprints to the castle.  Shana and the Queen are found safe and sound.  Apparently the same beam that emitted from Shana against Urobulus, happened again and saved them.  Looking at the damage of the attack, Dart knows that they cannot idol and decides it is time to go to the Mountain of the Mortal Dragon.  Rose had said earlier that even the Divine Dragon seemed out of Lloyd's hands and she was right.  Just as the team arrives at the mountain, they see Lloyd fighting the Divine Dragon only to fly off (he is a Wingly) and leave the battle to the heroes.  As Dart hits the dragon with the final blow, Lloyd shows up and takes the spirit of the Divine Dragoon.  Dart and Rose pursue him but Lloyd hits them with a fireball and they fall into a hole below.  Rose mutters about the Moon Child, Black Monster, and a Virage Embryo before going unconscious.  She then dreams of Neet those 18 years ago on the night of the Black Monster attack.  Dart's mom is shown and looks slightly familiar.  Once her and Dart regain consciousness, Meru comes and picks them up.

Miranda finally decides to speak of Mille Seseau's (the region that Deningrad is in) moon artifact just like Tiberoa's (the region that Fletz is in).  The artifact of the Mille Seseau region is the Moon Mirror.  It is revealed that the queen has it which means that she is probably Lloyd's next target.  Before the crew arrives at the Crystal Palace of Deningrad, you will see Wink (a friend of Miranda's who had been saved from death by Lloyd) attacked by a Wingly when Lloyd saves her again.  He is injured in the battle, though.  When they finally do get to the palace, she has already been kidnapped by Lloyd along with the Moon Mirror.  It is revealed that Lloyd has gone to Kashua Glacier.  Before they can get too far, they are encountered by a giant snow monster called Windigo. After Windigo goes down, the team finds a maze of teleporters.  Once they reach the end they find Lloyd and Queen Theresa.  This prompts a battle against the Wingly himself.  Fortunately for the heroes, the Divine Dragon Spirits doesn't recognize him as it's master.  When the hard fought battle is finished, Wink takes a finishing blow from Dart that was intended for Lloyd.  Lloyd reveals that he is working for a man named Diaz and Shana has been taken.

As the crew continues to wade through the snowy glacier, they come across an old abandoned Fort Magrad.  By the entrance is a large stone tablet that has Wingly, Giganto, and Human writing on it, although each one is too archaic for its respective race to understand.  Although Rose can read it.  Eventually the team comes across the Polter Armor which is the remains of the souls of dead soldiers.  Once the enchanted armor is destroyed, Dart and Co. proceed to the town of Vellweb.  As the Dragoons are headed toward the west exit of the town, Shirley appears and asks if they can set the souls of the four dragoons that died during the Dragon Campaign.  They decide that they will do this but not right now and head to the Throne room to meet Emperor Diaz.

Shana is there, unconscious.  Lloyd will give Diaz the Moon artifacts if he lets her down which he does.  Now Diaz explains what he wants.  He wants to destroy the current world to bring forth a new one.  Lloyd has been lead on the entire time and did not know that this was what he wanted.  Diaz then reveals himself to be Zieg...Dart's father and Rose's long lost love.  He is not the same Zieg as he used to be, however, as all he wants to do is fulfill Soa's wish of a world of perfection which requires the 108th race to wipe out the other 107.  The Winglies were aware of this and tried to cease their own annihilation by severing the ties between the body and soul which gave the Winglies magic, but also created the Black Monster.  Along with the dragons and Dragoon spirits, the humans brought an end to the cruel reign of the Winglies.  Zieg actually dealt the final blow to the Wingly leader but was turned to stone with the leader's final spell.  Over time the potency of the magic faded and the spell wore off.

Zieg then goes on to reveal the true identity of the Black Monster... it is Rose.  She did this to eliminate the Moon Child.  The Moon Child was the vessel that the God of Destruction was borne into.  Except Rose failed, while she did kill Princess Luvia (who she thought was the Moon Child) she had a twin sister...Shana!  After all of these revelations, Zieg escapes taking Shana and the Moon artifacts.  Lloyd disappears moments after.  Without saying anything the crew decide that after seeing the restless soul of Zieg, they should go release the spirits of the four dragoons that died in the Dragon Campaign.  On the way there Rose and Miranda get into a fight the end result being a slap to the face of Rose courtesy of Miranda.  After they release them they get a tip and head for the hidden city of the Winglies.  Rose's choker has magical powers that show the whereabouts of the city.  The party is then transported into the city, Ulara.  They meet up with someone who seems to be a friend of Rose.  The Wingly insists that they stay the night and the party splits up to look around.  Rose meets up with Dart and a flashback occurs back to the Death Frontier which is where they had to pass through to get to Ulara.  Dart and Rose actually fought it out and Dart won.  Rose told him to kill her but Dart says that the Black Monster is dead.  After staying the night, the team comes to the conclusion that they should return to Fletz.  They are allowed to board the Queen Fury once again to go to Rouge.


Rouge is a very isolated town on the ocean.  It is so isolated that the mayor has no idea about any different species or anything that has happened.  The mayor speaks hesitantly of a "stick" in the ocean.  As the group is about to leave, there is what seems to be an earthquake in the middle of the ocean.  A city reveals itself from the depths of the ocean.  Rose recalls an underwater city named Aglis and come to conclude that this is it.  In Aglis, the crew has to navigate a labyrinth of teleporters until they find a man named Savan.  Savan is about as mysterious as Rose but seems to be acquainted with Dart and the crew.  He is a Wingly that was one of the few survivors of the Dragon Campaign.  Savan wants to help bring Zieg down but he needs the courage of the team. To prove their courage they all must go through a test (except for Rose since she is already courageous enough).  Once he is satisfied he sends the Dragoons to a room to combine all of their courage to create the Psych. Bomb X.  When they receive the bomb, they follow Savan who introduces them to one of the guardians Kraken.  But just then Zieg shows himself and seems to have control over it.  The crew has no choice but to fight it.  After it is over, the combined power of the Dragoons started a chain reaction that sets off an explosion.  Right before the explosion envelops everyone Savan teleports the party out with his last spell.  They find a teleporter that transports them to the Law City of Zenebatos.

Before Savan was destroyed he made a mention of wings that he would bestow upon the crew.  And the crew finds them in the form of a strange looking creature named Coolon who will take them to any major city.  After getting laws passed and gaining access to certain areas, the edit to the law the the Dragoons submitted which was "The law prohibiting non-Winglies from going to the Signet Sphere," (there are five Signet Spheres that slowed the flow of magic that was sent to Melbu Frahma which Zieg is now trying to destroy) was denied and the group was found guilty of treason to Soa and are attacked by the judge Kubila and his assistants Vector and Selebus.  After a hectic battle, the Signet Sphere is outside but Zieg gets there first.  Dart tries to attack but he is no match for the power of Zieg.  After the team gets another law passed they can go to Mayfil which is a resting place for the souls of the dead.

The only reason Zieg would be in Mayfil is for the Signet Sphere.  Even the souls of dragons rest here.  First the team comes across the ghost of the Jade Dragon, Feyrbrand.  The only way to rest it's soul for good to is defeat it again.  Once he goes down Dart and the others head through a mini-maze of teleporters and find the Blue Sea Dragon spirit, Regole.  Same measures must be taken as before.  After proceeding further, their worst fear becomes a reality.  They must fight the ghost of the Divine Dragon.  After barely making it past it and through a couple more mazes, Dart thinks he sees Lavitz.  The figure leaves the room and Dart gives chase.  When Dart tries to talk to him, he attacks.  It turns out that it was the spirit of Lavitz possessed by the demon named Zachwell.  After the battle with Zachwell, Lavitz attacks Dart but he comes to his senses.  With his last drop of strength, Lavitz opens the path to the Signet Sphere.  When they get there Zieg breaks the fifth and final Signet Sphere.   The Earth begins shaking very violently.  As the place starts to collapse, Coolon comes to the rescue and saves them.  Not long from the beginning of the fight however, Coolon is attacked by a Virage and crash lands near the Divine Tree.  In a sad scene Coolon then dies.

Once they are inside the Divine Tree they encounter a caterpillar named Imago that attacks the party.  The creature eventually goes through all the stages of metamorphosis of a butterfly getting increasingly powerful after each transformation.  After it is defeated however, the party goes outside to see that as a result of the Signet Spheres being destroyed the Moon has come into contact with the Earth and that is where the heroes must go next.  The Moon begins shaking more and more violently.  All the party can think of is that if this is the beginning of the end?  After everyone whites out, it appears that instead of the moon, the team is on normal ground that leads to a meadow covered in snow.  She recognizes the place as a forest in Mille Seseau.  A flashback occurs and explains about Miranda's past and why she is so unbending.  It turns out that her mother left her when she was just a small child.  Before she leaves, she places a rose in front of Miranda.  The flashback is over and the rose comes to life!  This is one on one between Miranda and The Death Rose.  After attacking it enough times Miranda can choose to forgive to end the fight.  When the fight with the Death Rose is over, they see a normal looking building.  They wonder why all of these places from the Earth are here on the Moon.  Haschel enters the house to find a young Claire.  She runs away but turns to attack.  After Haschel beats enough sense into her, he can give the advice of awakening her Mind's Eye (she is also a fighter like her dad).  She then comes to her senses and forgives her father for not always being there for her.  Haschel feels much more at peace.  Once they exit the building they are met by a Serdio 20 years from the past.  When they see the front of the castle they hear people speaking well of Doel.  If you question the guard, he tells Dart that Doel has gone to the city of Gigantos.  The party leaves the castle, goes through a cave, then walks above the clouds when they are attacked by Rose's dragon, Michael.  The party is separated with Dart and Rose gone.  Kongol then has a flashback about his home city and seems to be there.  He tells the others that he has some unfinished business.  Kongol meets up with his older brother and fights him to become a stronger warrior.  After Kongol returns, the crew decides to wait at the inn for Dart and Rose.

Dart and Rose venture through unknown territory only to meet Michael at the end.  Michael was apparently born from the very first dark dragon.  After they dispose of the dragon they eventually find their way to the inn with the others.  The party decides to go back to Doel's castle. Only Albert is allowed in.  Doel had known that he would come and they fight.  Once that is overwith, the Dragoons find a path that was blocked before.  The path shatters and the only person who can get across is Meru.  Inside the room is the Archangel who is angry at Meru and thinks she is a traitor.  Once the Archangel is defeated, the path is rebuilt and the rest of the crew can join Meru.  The team proceeds when Dart hears whispers from Shana!  They head through the door only to be met by a relative of the virage that was found in the Forbidden Land.  Once the Virage is beaten, Dart is questioning whether or not that could have been Shana.  He puts it in the back of his mind and they continue down the path where they encounter not only Shana but also Zieg.  Zieg then proceeds to take Dart's Dragon spirit for himself.  The spirit still recognizes Zieg as its master from the days of the Dragon Campaign.  A battle ensues  and shortly after, all is revealed.  Melbu Frahma, the Wingly Emperor had been living in Zieg's body all along.  When Zieg killed Frahma, Frahma trapped himself in the Dragon Spirit and as a side effect, Zieg was petrified, but most certainly not dead.  After the spell wore off, Zieg was fine.  This explains how Zieg lived for 11, 000 years and married Claire and had Dart.  The night Rose (as the Black Monster) attacked Neet, Zieg went to defend it.  But when he activated his dragoon power Frahma took over his body completely.  While the prophecy said that the Moon Child (in this case Shana) would be the god of destruction, Melbu Frahma takes her place and is merging with the Virage Embryo.  For right now Shana is safe.  Before the battle begins Lloyd appears!  He has come to get revenge on Frahma for misleading him.  The Divine Dragon spirit  has finally allowed Lloyd to become its master and he is now the Divine Dragoon!  But now even the power of the Divine Dragon can defeat Frahma.  After missing at first, Frahma stabs Lloyd through the heart.  Before he dies, he gives Rose the Dragon Buster and Dart the Divine Dragoon Spirit.  Since Zieg still has the Red Eyed Dragon spirit, Dart is now the Divine Dragoon.  After an extremely tough battle Frahma is defeated.  Dart flies over to check on Shana when Melbu rises up again not dead yet.  Rose and Zieg tell the others to get out as the two unleash an enormous attack on Melbu Frahma but also trap themselves in the process.  The rest of the team make it out.  As they watch the Moon explode they know that the two lovers had sacrificed themselves together to bring peace to the world.
