My Dragon System

As Jack led the Underdog guild to fend off and fight the other creatures, that gave enough time for Martha to lead Bliss and the others to the guards who were still a little bit further back and with the other students.

The other students were currently resting some were being cleaned up by the guards and some were being treated for flesh wounds.

"I'll go see if I can help out as many as possible," Flynn said as he separated himself from the group and started to care for the students.

As the group joined up with the other students, professor Springett was surprised to see a familiar face. "Teacher?" She said as she pointed at the large man.

"It's been a long time," Lenny replied.

While Martha and Jack were busy fighting against the creatures, Lenny had decided to go back and have a look at the students that had joined the guards.

"What are you doing here?" Springett asked. "I've searched for you for years and suddenly you turn up here."

"It's a long story." Lenny said, "Perhaps when this is all done, I can catch you up on it, but the shortened of it is I have been hired by the Redwings guild for now."

"So I was right," Kaito said. "That really was the marking of the Redwings, I also saw the boy who was leading that army come to save us too. Are all of the people they're fighting part of the Redwings are they here at Roland." Kaito said all excited.

"No, unfortunate or fortunate you caught us in the middle of a guild war," Martha replied. "The only ones that are part of the red wings are me and the boy you saw earlier."

"What about Ray, he said he was a member as well?" Kaito asked.

Martha was unsure of how much she should say but thought a little bit of information wouldn't hurt.

"Ray is also a member of the Redwings, in fact, he's even a rank above us."

Now it made sense to Kaito why Ray was so strong. Springett looking at the three of them could see that they were all powerful but she couldn't believe how kids so young could obtain such power, just who were the Redwings that they even had her teacher helping them out, who she had searched for years.

"What's the report on the students?" Martha asked, "They don't look like they'll be much help, can we move them away?"

Lenny looked at the students and could see most of them were collapsed on the floor.

"I checked up on a few of them, but it looks like nearly all of them have come down with Mana sickness. They've simply used too much of their power and gone past their limits. I'm surprised they were able to last this long but they can't move for now, maybe the knights will be able to carry them back."

"I don't think that's a good idea," Springett said, "Those creatures seem to aim for the weak. If they see anyone trying to escape, they will start to ignore the people in front of them and go after the students. The same thing happened when we thought them back in the shadow continent."

"The shadow continent!" Lenny said with his eyes wide open.

Springett and the others then proceeded to explain what had happened, from them being teleported to Roland to the point where they were right now and how Ray had saved them.

"Ray must have been teleported with them, and decided to throw away the disguise for now." Martha thought.

"I was unable to input a precise location for the teleportation circle, I could only get it to transport us within a certain area and at the same time I needed to make sure it would be in an open field," Kaito said.

"That was your work?" Lenny asked. "I must say I'm impressed, someone as young as you to be able to create a formation so impressive."

Just then one of the guards had come up to the group to interrupt their conversation.

"Professor Springett, all of the students have been given emergency care and we are ready to move them."

"Protect the students for now." Springett ordered, "And get in contact with Roland, ask one of the tower masters to come here immediately, say a shadow guard member is here."

The look on the guard's faces dropped as he heard that word.

"The shadow guard, this is an emergency, we must inform them quickly!" The man said as he rushed off in a panic.

"I should have known." Lenny said, "Judging by the rifts that have appeared it looks to be the work of the grand Mage Wiz. A mage who is even older than I am, there were rumours that he had gone over to the other side and I'm sad to hear it's true."

"Teacher, is there any way we can stop the portals?" Springett asked.

"I'm afraid not, the only way is to get rid of the source which is the Mage himself. Do you know who is facing against him right now?"

"It's the Redwing member Ray."

Just then, a rift appeared right next to where the group were speaking and out of it came Ray falling to the ground.

"Damn it," Ray said as he landed on the floor. "He won't let me get close to him, every time I go in for an attack, he opens up a rift."

He then looked around him and noticed Martha and the others where there. "Lenny, the rifts what exactly are they?" Ray asked.

"They work similarly to a portal only more permanent, think of it as a tunnel one has an entrance and then somewhere on the other end is an exit."

Ray then looked at the portals where the beasts were coming out from. "If I can't attack him, then I'm just going to have to get rid of all his pets."
