The five artillery teams continue to launch 155mm high explosive artillery shells at the large concrete facility in the distance on the hills overlooking the base. Eliezer stands behind the artillery crews as they load another volley of shells aimed at the base.

Anthony Pavlovich (Major.): Two of our choppers reported fire from behind the base, a large explosion it seems—holy!"

Two huge explosions suddenly engulf the base, for a second Eliezer thought the howitzers had hit some kind of room filled with explosives; but that's unlikely as no room filled with explosives could do an explosion that destructive

Eliezer: "They self-destructed the base..."

He pauses as he places his field binoculars between his eyes. He could see soldiers of the base convulsing wildly as the flames engulf them. He notices his own men run wildly across the field as they collapse with flames on them. The four choppers which had been sent to provide aerial support continue to circle the base, all four begin dropping ropes as they begin providing aid to their comrades.

Eliezer's look of fear after seeing the frightening blast of flames engulf the base was enough for Pavlovich to give the order without Eliezer asking.

---------------------------------------------

"Jesse! Adria! This is the Steel Wolves! We are here to help!" Three privates of the Steel Wolves continue to scout the remnants of the base as Eliezer leads the three into the remains of what seems to be a computer room. Chunks of silicon litter the floor as Eliezer's boots step onto the rubble of the base.

As Eliezer crouches down to look at a chunk of a computer that had the symbol of a fire-breathing dragon on the bottom of it. Eliezer's remembers come flowing back to him, the memory of war and starvation that he had endured with Beth. But before he gets too deep into his thoughts, a private yells Eliezer's name.

"Sir! We got a survivor!"

Eliezer's legs quickly dash over to the private that had called for him, upon looking down he sees the bloody and dusted body of Jesse.

"But where is Adria?" Eliezer turns to the private. Eliezer's eyes look around him as he sees large chunks of concrete still piled around. "Keep looking, we need to find them both." Eliezer looks back at Jesse's bloody body and notices a large pile of concrete and mesh on his right hand. As the private dashes off to look for Adria, Eliezer begins gripping his hands onto the chunks of concrete; attempting to remove the large boulders from Jesse's body. As Eliezer removes another boulder for the eighth time, he suddenly touches human skin.

"Adria!"

The reason Jesse was so bloody was because the bomb was designed specifically to kill Dragons.

First there was a chemical explosion that forced them back into their human forms before the main explosion itself. However most of Makarov’s forces still at the base were caught in the blast as well.

By the time David and his team got to them it was already too late to save his mother.

When Dragons are seriously injured their cells begin to heal immediately as long as the brain is still alive. While Jesse’s was fine Adria was not as lucky. She was closer to the main blast and in the last second tried to shield Jesse. The force of it damaged her enough to kill her before the healing process could start. It was already too late to save her. She had given her own life to save her husband. She knew they would need him to stop what was coming.

Jesse. “She’s gone.”

David looked at Tang about ready to kill her. After the explosion she told him that she knew Makarov wasn’t there but they still needed to destroy the base in order to save her people. “How could you let him kill us?!” David asked her.

Tang. “Because it was already too late to stop him from opening the portal to the City of Dreams.” (may or may not end up being Dream World)

There was another bright flash but this one was from a ways away. Makarov used a Dragon Empire key he took during his initial attack on the islands to open the portal to where the Dark Dragon Queen was.

She was a dark purple Dragon that was much larger than any of the others including Makarov. “Thank You my true Prince. Together we shall destroy those who follow the Light once and for all.”

“Yes my Queen.” Makarov said with an evil smile. “It’s time to go to Draganisia and end this.”

Meanwhile on the helicopter back to Draganisia

Tang told David and his friends why they had to let Makarov free her. “As long as she was in there she was untouchable and would have been able to spread her influence forever. In order to be able to kill her she first had to be freed.”

David still didn’t like it. “Even if that is true you should have told us before. If you did my mother and many others might still be alive!”

Tang held firm to what she had done though. “I am truly sorry for what happened but that base still needed to be destroyed. And sometimes sacrifices have to be made in order to save millions more. You and your family should know this better than anyone.”

David couldn’t really argue with that because he knew she was telling the truth. His father and Grandfather both have told him this many times. Sometimes a few had to die so everyone else could live. It’s the very reason soldiers existed. To give their lives fighting to save everyone that they could.

Jesse was on a different helicopter with Adria’s body. He was still thinking about his place in the world without his wife and if he would be strong enough to stop Makarov once and for all.
