( skip after the battle. )

(alright)

Tracy looked at the door that held the Dragon Council. After the capture of Bryce, the Dragon Council had wanted to talk to both Saphira and Angelus, to see what exactly Bryce had done and how to deal with him. She just hoped that Saphira was doing alright.

Saphira was feeling tired and would have liked to rest, but knew this camefirst. She wondered what might happen to Bryce, but knew it wouldn't be good.

"Young Saphira, before we place judgement on Bryce, we want your honest testimony on what he did to both your trainer and yourself," one of the Elders asked. The Elder Dragon knew that Saphira was tired, but they needed to know just how far Bryce had gone.

" He tormented Tracy that she was an honest and caring person. He also threatened to hurt her family if she didnt comply to his demand. To me he had the guards torment me while Tracy was imprisoned. He also hurt many of my friends , both human , Bishie and Dragon. " Saphira said.

One of the Dragons held back a growl as he heard the news. Once Saphira was done with her tale of events they knew that Bryce could not be left alive. Even if they didn't want to take the life of a human, Bryce had overstepped too many rules. "Thank you Young Saphira. If possible, we would like to talk to your trainer, to see how he treated people of his own race," the Elder asked.

Saphria nodded and went to get Tracy .

Tracy went in front of the council. " He tormented all of the trainers at the gym. He caused the disappearance the Leader before him. It isn't know if he is alive or dead. He captured a detective investigating the happenings. He even threatened the guards into doing his bidding. They only did what they did to make sure their families were safe." Tracy said.

The dragons listened to Tracy as she talked and were angry at themselves for letting Bryce get away with so much for so long. They just hoped that they could right the wrongs that they made and would pick a better ruler this time around...may it be either a female or a male.

Tracy told them of the other things Bryce did and waited to be dismissed. She hoped the next ruler would be able fix what Bryce destroyed.

The Elders dismissed Tracy and discussed on what to do next: both with Bryce and to whom should replace him.

Bryce awaited his fate, still not ashamed of what he had done.

The dragons talked long into the night, deciding on whom to name in charge after Bryce was taken care of. One put Lena's name up while another put Alex's name up while even another put Tracy's name up for candidacy. Once they figured that out, they would then deal with Bryce and deliver his punishment to him.

Alex was glad that the battle was finished and that everyone here didn't have to live in fear anymore. He was also glad that Michael was able to be reunited with his Bishies afterwards as he continued walking between the devastation that several attacks had caused.

Taylor was glad that Bryce was getting what he desrved and wondered what would happen now that the battle was over.

(who do you want as new gym leader? I'm debating between Lena and Tracy)

( That is a hard one. How about Tracy?)

(That works)

The Eder Dragons had finally come to a decision as to who would be the new Gym Leader. After that discussion was taken care of, the dragons would take care of Bryce after reading him the charges that were filed against him.

Bryce was led to the council chambers to listen to his fate. He knew is time was short , but still didn't regret what he had done.

"Bryce Williams, you are charged with murder and other inhumane acts. How do you plead?" The azure colored Elder Dragon asked Bryce as the dragons waited for his answer and what he thought his actions were doing. After that, they would announce him guilty before sentencing him to death.

" Not guilty. " Bryce said smugly. He knew this could be the end , but he was willing to die for his cause.

"You claim to be not guilty? How dare you even suggest..." the crimson Elder Dragon started to say angrily before being silenced by one of the others. The dragon knew that he was going to claim to be not guilty but what really pissed him off was the smug look on his face.

"Then we have no choice Bryce Williams. You and your dragons punishment is as followed: both of you will have your minds erased of this town and of each other before being sent into the desert. There, we hope you can gain a new persona for yourself and perhaps find a new way of life. If you cannot cling to your life, then the desert will take it from you. What you and your dragon do from now on will be either the start of a grand revival or that of a great destruction of yourself," the Azure Dragon spoke in a somber voice once the Crimson Dragon finished his tirade.

He knew, as did the other dragons, that if they were to kill Bryce and his Black Dragon then that would be too easy and swift of a punishment for them. Hopefully, and ideally, they could redeem themselves over the course of time, but only that same element would tell them which course took place.

Bryce nodded knowing this fate was worse than death itself.

(I'm going to sleep now. Nights)

The Azure Dragon's eyes glowed white for a few seconds before everything that made Bryce who he was was erased: His persona, his goals, even his name, making double sure to erase everything about his knowledge of the village that he tried taking over. The only thing that the elder dragon left him was the knowledge that he had a black dragon as a Bishie partner and that was it. He then transported them to where he knew that a desert was that was also far away from the village.

( Night )
Taylor was surprised on what Bryce's fate was , and was glad this ordeal was over. He was looking forward to what was ahead.

(And I'm back from a hellish day at work!)

Tracy wondered what was going to happen now that Bryce was exiled from the town without any memories of himself or his partner. They still had to announce a new leader for the gym and wondered on who they would pick.

( sorry you had a bad day today)


Lena hoped that things could go back to normal and also wondered what would happen to Bryce now that he was exiled. " I think the council is ready to decide. " Lena said.
