1 hour ago before the Azkon airship cockpit explosion.
Neo and Aria go to the city hall vault, where the mayor and the volunteers are hiding, because the mayor is looking for them.
"Mayor, why are you looking for me?" Aria asked to the mayor
"Ms. Aria i got a plan to defeat the enemies" The mayor replied
"What is it mayor?" Aria said
"I want you to attack that airship; it will demoralize the enemies when it explodes, and you're wielding that sword right now, so I'm pretty sure you can do this," the man said.
Aria didn't think twice before following the order, even though it was the most perilous assignment she had ever been given. She looked at Neo and asked if he would still accompany her after accepting the mission.
"Can you please join me again" She asked
Neo nodded, and they immediately began to run in the direction of the airship. However, there is one issue: how are they going to destroy that ship?
They took a break while planning how to destroy it, but as they were about to resume their journey, they spotted an enemy dragonrider approaching.
The enemy dragonrider was then instantly dispatched by a man in blue armor by leaping on its back, without the enemy dragonrider noticing.
"Hey, are you two alright?" The guy in blue armor asked
"Yeah, thank you" Aria replied
"That's good to hear" The guy in blue armor said
After giving a whistle and looking up at the sky, the man in the blue armor was suddenly approached by a dragon. The man turned out to be a Vongordian Dragonrider.
"Wait i got a request" Neo suddenly said
The guy in blue armor looked at him and asks about his request.
Neo then explain the mission they got from the mayor.
"Hmm, my dragon can't destroy that airship" The guy in blue armor said after hearing the mission gave to them.
"That's not what i want you to do" Neo said
"Then what is it, Neo?"Aria asked
"I want him to give us a ride to get inside that airship" Neo replied
"And how are you two going to destroy it when you get inside the ship?" The guy in blue armor inquired
"We will use the power of her sword" Neo said
Aria then showed the blazing sword to the guy in blue armor, the guy in blue armor smiles when he saw the sword, he accepted Neo request and introduced himself.
"I'm Roger Paylon" he said
He then look at his dragon and introduced him too "And this is my buddy, Rogard"
After introducing themselves, Neo and Aria sat down on Rogard's back.
"Get ready, you two, because we're about to take off," Roger said.
While on air, they noticed that there were some enemy dragonriders following them. Neo grabbed the rifle from his back and started shooting them; he hit them all without getting a miss.
However, there are still twelve dragonriders following them, and Neo got no ammunition, so Roger made the decision to fly at such a low altitude but the opposing dragonriders still follow him, which is exactly what Roger wants them to do.
He then decided to make such a swift turn to the right, which Rogard executed with ease. Only eight rival dragonriders were able to execute the quick turn that Roger and Rogard did, the four went straight to a solid metal wall.
Then Roger flew up once more and asked Aria if she would be willing to use the power of her sword to hurl flames at their pursuers.
Aria nodded in agreement and aimed her sword at the assailants. She yelled after that and shot a tremendous amount of fire energy in the direction of her adversaries.
All of them burned to death. Roger then flew straight in the direction of the airship; no one is following them anymore since every enemy dragonrider is focusing on the other Vongordian dragonriders.
The airship's turrets began firing at them as soon as they approached the Azkon airship, but Roger is just dodging everything they shoot at them with east.
When Roger quickly maneuvers to the side of the Azkon airship, Aria blows the side of the airship open to allow them access to the side of the ship, Neo and Aria immediately jumps to the side of the ship.
"Good luck in your mission" Roger said
"Thank you Mr. Roger for the ride" Aria said
"No problem, see you later then" Roger said while flying back to help his comrades
While Aria is saying her goodbye to Roger and Rogard, she realizes that Neo have gone quiet, so she asks Neo if there's any problem.
"Hey Neo what's wrong?" She asks
Neo said, "Aria, I didn't know about this before, but I just found out I'm actually afraid of heights," as he regarded her with a scared expression.
Aria laughs and tells him not to look on the ground; they then proceed to search for the engine room so they can destroy the ship.
They encounter many Azkon soldiers guarding the airship, but they just finish them off quickly. They also interrogate some of them to ask where the engine room is.
No one answered their question until they entered the cockpit of the airship, and that's where they saw the leader of the invaders, Major Kaizer Alfredo.
Kaizer asked who they were, and Neo and Aria introduced themselves while preparing for the fight with Kaizer to begin.
Kaizer then summoned a sword using magic and charged at them. Kaizer's attacks are very fast, and Aria is trying to block all of his attacks, but she can't keep up with his speed, so Neo decided to jump in.
Neo grabs the sword he brought and starts striking Kaizer. He manages to dodge some of it, but he gets hit on his shoulder. But Kaizer doesn't stop after getting hit; he continues on fighting.
Neo's strike only seems to fuel Kaizer's determination as he retaliates with even greater force. Despite the pain in his shoulder, Neo refuses to back down, his resolve growing stronger with each blow exchanged between them.
The cockpit is then set on fire by Aria as she begins to unleash the power of her sword. The three are still engaged in combat despite the cockpit being completely covered in flames, smoke, and ashes.
Their movements become more frenzied and desperate, their determination to defeat each other overpowering any fear or discomfort caused by the raging inferno around them. With every swing of their weapons, sparks fly and the intensity of their battle reaches a fever pitch. The flames dance and flicker, casting an eerie glow on their faces as they continue to fight, undeterred by the chaos engulfing them.
The cockpit explodes in a burst of fiery debris, sending shockwaves rippling through the air. The force of the explosion propels both combatants backwards, momentarily suspending their fight in mid-air.
On top of the airship, Neo and Aria made the decision to flee, but Kaizer was still pursuing them. Then Kaizer let go of a great deal of magic energy and pointed it in the direction that Neo and Aria were running.
As soon as he realizes this, Neo carries Aria and leaps in an effort to avoid the magical blast that is being directed at them. When Neo avoids it, the magical blast hit the ship and tears a large hole through the back of the ship's side.
Kaizer suddenly yelled, "Crap! That is where the engine room is!"
Kaizer knocked out the ship's engines by accident, causing ship to start falling down. Then Kaizer immediately stopped pursuing Neo and Aria and started running toward the ship's hangar to escape. Additionally, he took the radio from his pocket and signaled to all Azkon soldiers on the Redo city that they are retreating.
When Roger and Rogard arrived to assist them, Aria and Neo stopped looking for a way out. In order to be seen by Roger, they waved their hands.
"I can't believe you two actually destroyed it" Roger said while flying back with Neo and Aria
"Well we got lucky" Aria replied
