EQG: Duelist Rangers Season 2 // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// At the command center, Starlight was overjoyed to be reunited with her parents. "If this is all a dream, I don't wanna wake up from it." Starlight then looked to her parents. "But what did happen? Tirek said he was after your magic. So what really happened?" Starlight's father sighed. "All those years ago, Tirek came seeking to steal powerful magic. And our family's magic lineage was one of the strongest magical auras present. However, we were able to fight back against him. However, he had the edge in raw power and defeated us. After draining us of our magic, he sealed us in cards. He was about to leave when he felt your presence. Tirek sensed great potential in your magic. Your mother and I watched in silence for years as he slowly made you into a tool for his own ends. Thanks to your friend Burst, we were freed from our prison and our magic was restored. He threw one heck of a punch." Starlight's mother had a fond smile on her face. "You've grown so much since we saw you last. You've even gotten yourself a boyfriend my little light." Starlight blushed. "Mom! Not in front of Shadow!" "But it's such a cute name! You had no problem with it when you were five." "That was thirteen years ago!" Shadow let out a chuckle at the scene before him. Meanwhile, Pegasus and the rest of the rangers were talking with Scorpan. "So how did you get sealed inside your evil twin? That's the question I've got.", Steel asked. "As you know, my brother and I have great magic power. However where as I trained to gain strength, Tirek stole the magic of others in order to increase his power. There was difference in terms of the quality, but he had stolen power in great amounts. I opposed him, but he got the better of me and sealed me inside him with a spell in order to use my strength. And for years I was powerless to stop him from carrying out his ambitions. However, there was a lone figure who almost managed to defeat Tirek. Sadly, Tirek retreated before I could be freed." "Is that why Tirek was scared of me?", Burst asked. Scorpan nodded. "Because I look like the guy who nearly put an end to him?" "Yes Burst. In fact, you look like a younger version of him. If I didn't know any better I'd say you were related." "How many years ago did this happen?", Burst asked. "Hmmm. About...thirteen years ago. Why?" Burst was silent as he contemplated the possible identity of the person who had nearly defeated Tirek. 'No. It couldn't be...could it?' "Thanks for the information. So is there anything else we should know?" "Yes. Now that we've weakened him so much, my brother will send monster after monster. He'll especially have his sights set on destroying all of us now. And he'll be trying to regain his power. As for how...I have no idea." "Then we'll just deal with him when the time comes. Let's show him not to mess with us!" "Alright then! Let's take this sucker down!"", Inferno boasted.
