Chapter 37 - scene 36

**Scene 36: Blue Fighter Planet**

*Our friend Jim Jamer is lying on the grass, recalling his first encounter with the Flame Dragon, Volcano… in the past.*

*One day, Simaruba emerged from the water to find out what had happened and where Jim Jamer got the red sword like lava. Jim Jamer explained what occurred:*

Jim Jamer: I was roaming the island as usual…

*She was surprised by a dragon dripping lava from its mouth… its size enormous, and I looked like a tiny little dot before it. I ran with all my might, trying to survive… and when the water trapped me at the shore while the dragon was chasing me… I had to choose: either drown or get roasted alive. I decided to enter the water hoping to learn to swim and survive… but I sank and lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes… I found myself lying on a small part of a red, lava-like giant foot…*

*It was one of the feet of the dragon that had been chasing me… and I realized it didn't want to harm me. When I touched it with my hand, it transformed into my sword.*

*He also remembered something else:*

*When the Flame Dragon spoke from inside the sheath and said:*

Flame Dragon: Jim Jamer… release me.

Jim Jamer: Alright… Flame Dragon… Volcano, release!

*Jim Jamer thrust his sword into the ground, and after saying this, the giant dragon Volcano, the Flame Dragon, was freed… Since the dragon represents the sheath, the sword's blade remained connected to the dragon's head, and the warrior can pull and use it whenever he wishes. After the dragon was freed, it spoke:*

Flame Dragon: Now, transform me into the Volcano Fighter.

Jim Jamer: How do I do that?

Flame Dragon Volcano: Simply say… "Flame Dragon Volcano, transform into the Volcano Fighter."

*Jim Jamer transformed the dragon into a human-sized fighter, armored in lava-like armor and ablaze, but its features still reflected the dragon's.*

Volcano Fighter: A dragon can transform into a regular-sized warrior like the Earth warriors if its wielder requests it… When it transforms, its power drops to the lowest level… But it cannot transform if the wielder is in danger or in a state of anger. Emotions such as fear, anger, or pain charge the dragon's power to its maximum, making it impossible to restrain. If the wielder is about to fall into the depths of the earth in a deadly fight, the dragon will automatically release, strike with full force, and dive into the depths alongside its wielder… This is the only case where the dragon releases automatically without an order._

*We, the Seven Sword Dragons, are part of the many (Pure Warrior Beasts)… We are no different from any Earth warrior you have met before. We have our principles, our way of thinking, and our special skills. There's a difference between a (Pure Warrior Beast) and a (Regular Pure Beast)… The first thinks and has principles like any warrior… the second acts instinctively like animals, obeys only its tamer, and attacks strangers (like sword-linked beasts attached to the dragon).*

Jim Jamer: I understand… but why did you ask me to release you and transform you into the Volcano Fighter?

Volcano Fighter: Because you need to become more skilled… I cannot stay with a boy who has no skill like you. You are one of the Unknown Fighters… but you know nothing about it and cannot use the (Earth Fighter Power)… nor do you know any martial art. Come closer… I won't burn you, don't be afraid.

*He touched Jim Jamer, who was surprised that his hand didn't burn.*

Volcano Fighter: What you see around me is the (Flame of Peace), a cold flame… Otherwise, I would have burned everything my feet touch. Get ready, from now on I'll teach you the (Unknown Fighter Power – Earth Power) and the (Fist Combat Art)._

*The Volcano Fighter trained Jim Jamer day and night until he became a skilled and professional fighter.*

*While Jim Jamer was lost in memories, the Blue Fighter was observing him from afar. He too was recalling Jim Jamer's past… remembering that he had met the dragon Volcano in its human fighter form. They had the following conversation:*

Blue Fighter: Volcano… don't burn my planet and evaporate its waters.

Volcano Fighter: I won't, don't worry… but you came at the right time… I haven't battled anyone for a while.

Blue Fighter (to himself): I'm in great danger… Volcano is one of the seven strongest beasts… No warrior can easily defeat any of them… The worst part is its strength… It differs from other beasts only in form. It speaks, thinks, and has principles and values… and it's wise too. Even if the dragon Volcano is the same size as me, I hope it isn't serious… Otherwise, I'll release the Waterfall; it will surely match it._

*And the Blue Fighter remembered something else that happened on Dark Clouds Planet… In the distant past, the planet was terrifying; battles raged between warriors and beasts, and even among warriors. While walking among scattered corpses, dying people, and dead Filth Beasts…*

*He was surprised by a Red Fighter (we'll learn about him later), carrying a small infant… The infant was Jim Jamer. The Red Fighter gave the baby to the Blue Fighter:*

Red Fighter: He is one of Earth's warriors… He has remained an infant for a long time… but recently began to grow… Take him to your planet for safety… protect and train him. He must grow… then one day he will return to defend his land.

*The Blue Fighter gave the Warrior Salute:*

Blue Fighter: Honor and respect to you, Red Commander… I will do as you asked.

*He formed a water vortex under his feet, soaring like a rocket, while the Red Fighter watched. He stopped in the sky, bowed slightly as a salute, then continued upward, crossing the planet's atmosphere. Once out of sight, he released his sword dragon (Water Dragon Waterfall), which was enormous, and said:*

Blue Fighter: Water Dragon Waterfall, transform into (Water Arrow).

*The dragon transformed into a large hollow water arrow, carrying the Blue Fighter and Jim Jamer inside. It shot at lightning speed toward the (Blue Fighter Planet). Upon arrival, the dragon returned to its sheath form… The Blue Fighter found little Simaruba, feeling lonely and bored, with no friends nearby… He placed the infant in an air bubble for her:*

Blue Fighter: Simaruba… you now have a little brother… Take care of him… and remember, do not break the air bubble until you bring him to land… He cannot breathe underwater.

*The Blue Fighter left at lightning speed, rarely spending time with her, but always protecting her without her knowing.*

*While the Blue Fighter wandered in memories… Simaruba came to Jim Jamer, who was lost in his memories:*

Simaruba: I came…

Jim Jamer: Yellow one, no need to say that… Why are you here? Didn't I shout at you before?

Simaruba: I'm sensitive… I felt you wanted to warn me of a great danger.

Jim Jamer: Yes, that's right… That's why you dove angrily, because you were sensitive… You're not a sensitive girl, but a sensitive fish.

Simaruba: Stop joking… how can you speak to your caretaker like this?

Jim Jamer: Sorry.

Simaruba: You disappear a lot… Where do you go?

Jim Jamer: I visit another world, similar to ours and a land like ours… but they are different.

Simaruba (puzzled): Similar or not?

Jim Jamer: Very similar in some ways, very different in others.

Simaruba: How do you do that?

*Jim Jamer pointed to his pendant:*

Jim Jamer: Through this… I search for "someone to whom our whole world is connected by heart."

Simaruba: I want to go with you to see him.

Jim Jamer: That's impossible.

Simaruba: No reds either?

Jim Jamer: Okay, I'll take you to see him someday, I promise.

*Simaruba, happy:*

Simaruba: Thank you, red boy.

*Is the world Jim Jamer speaks of… Earth?*
