"Yo, Takeo you ready to go to lunch?" said Jeremy, a friend of Takeo. "h.e.l.l yeah, man," Takeo said. Both of them rush to Takeo's car to go get lunch and come back to school and eat it. "Hey, what you feel like it eating?" Jeremy asked. "Just a burger is fine," Takeo replied. "Whateva man, you paying?" Jeremy asked. "Dude, it's your turn to pay remember," Takeo reminded him. Jeremy fell silent. "Oh yeah, c.r.a.p," Jeremy finally said. After getting their burgers at McDonald's, they rushed out the door and jumped into Takeo's car. As Takeo jumped into the car, a s.h.i.+ny object fell out of his bookbag. "What the?!" said Takeo surprisingly. "What?" Jeremy said. Takeo ignored him as he was focused on the crystal-like object that fell out. "It's nothing," finally said Takeo. Takeo, of course, knew what it was. They eventually left for the school.

At the school, Takeo showed his friends the crystal. "Oooooo, it looks so awesome," said Akihiro Tos.h.i.+aki, a foreign exchange student and Takeo's best friend," you said it was a family heirloom"? "I said it was a family treasure!!" Takeo said, annoyed. "Sorry, bruh," Akihiro said. Takeo pondered why it was in his bag. "Weird, there are words in it," said Nina Anders, top girl in their school's NJROTC drill team, as she s.n.a.t.c.hed the crystal from Takeo. "What the h.e.l.l, Nina, don't s.n.a.t.c.h, " Takeo shouted. Nina ignored him and said, " I can't read it, must be Latin". Takeo became agitated, s.n.a.t.c.hed it back and said, " let me see, I can read it, probably." Takeo looked at the words inscribed in the crystal.

The words on it were definitely not Latin. "It's...Dragonic," Takeo said confused. "Dragonic, the h.e.l.l is Dragonic?" Akihiro asked, more confused than Takeo. Takeo explained what Dragonic is to his friends. "...ohhhh...," his friends all said. "Weird, why can I read it, hmm," said Takeo. Jessica Black, a "close" friend to Takeo and a top student, walked up and said, " You can read it, then read it for us.". Everyone in the group leaned over in antic.i.p.ation. "... well, OK I'll read it," Takeo said as he gave in to their enthusiasm. So, he began reading the inscription. "Renthsj wer zezhuanth lex ekess awaken dout zezhuanth vers," Takeo read. There was a awkward pause afterwards. "It means "Speak the ancient word to awaken your ancient power" he explained. "Still weird, though," said Jeremy.

Then, a new inscription appeared on the crystal. "Huh, the text changed!" Takeo exclaimed. "What it say?" Akihiro wondered. "ibasfarshan kaprai" Takeo read. "Flame Emperor". The crystal exploded in a flash of red light and a explosion of blazing fire-like energy. In the mist of the red light and blazing fire-like energy, Takeo undergoes a powerful transformation.
