"What the fuck, armour that changes form?" Narven asked in shock as he stared at Tephe in her new armour.
"You haven't seen anything yet," Tephe said with a smirk before she jumped up in the air and white dragon wings appeared, allowing her to fly above the city.
"Please tell me she's not about to do what I think she is," Adam remarked as everyone looked up at her.
"You know your girlfriends so well, darling," Revi said with a smile before adding, "Oh, this is going to be fun."
[LadyErkath (Alastor): Wait, did Empress Revi just admit that she and Tephe are now the streamer's girlfriends?]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): WTF, how did even more women beat me to it?]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): …]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): …]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Something wrong, Romy?]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): I was curious about something in the stream title.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): What about it?]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): That part where it says 'your (Supposed) role of Senator Pevaphio's Bodyguard'. What do you suppose that means?]
[LadyErkath (Alastor): Senator Pevaphio has asked Adam to act as her bodyguard during the upcoming Universal Senate Supreme Speaker Selection.]
[Whitehorn (Darah 5): Seriously? When did that happen?]
[LadyErkath (Alastor): She made the request shortly after we arrived on Oceana Seven and learned that Adam has a universal force staff.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): While that's huge, won't it bring him to the attention of the Universal Senate Security HQ?]
As everyone watched, Tephe's body was suddenly covered in a white light before her body lengthened and expanded as giant dragon wings emerged from her back.
Her face changed into a dragon's maw, while her legs and arms thickened and extended, and her hands and feet changed into large paws with claws, while a thick tail emerged behind her.
As Tephe changed into her true form, the anti-gravity armour changed along with her until she was completely covered in white scale-like armour except for her wing membranes, which were now the same blue as her eyes, and her chest continued to glow.
As her transformation finished and she revealed her true form, Tephe reared her and opened her maw before releasing a mighty roar.
"RRROOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR."
Everyone in the city, besides Adam and Revi, looked up in shock at the white armoured dragon that had a statue dedicated to them only a short distance away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we at the Ashes Galaxy branch of USNN interrupt our scheduled broadcast of the ongoing celebration because we have just been provided a live feed of a battle between White Dragon Tephe and the handsome man in the universe, the Dragon Narven," Soots, the Ashes Galaxy correspondent for the USNN, announced.
"A fight between two dragons is not something seen every day, even for us of the phoenix race. I'm quite looking forward to this," Admiral Eterna replied as he was still acting as the guest.
"I agree, Admiral, but does White Dragon Tephe even stand a chance? Narven is twice her age after all," Soots asked.
"I was wondering that myself," Eterna replied thoughtfully before adding, "It's common knowledge that for many races, age equals power, as the older you get, the more powerful you become."
Soots nodded in agreement before holding her hand to her ear as she received a message from the production team, after which she turned to the camera before her and said, "Apologies for the wait, viewers, but we can now bring you live footage."
As she finished speaking, the feed switched to show Tephe approaching the combat armour, which closed around her and transformed.
"What are we witnessing here, Admiral?" Soots asked in amazement before adding, "I have never heard of armour that changes shape like that."
"Neither have I," Eterna admitted as he studied the armour with interest before adding, "But judging by Empress Revi's lack of response, it would seem she was aware of it."
"Could it be some new form of military equipment?" Soots asked with interest.
Before Eterna could reply, they saw Tephe jump into the air and fly above the city, where she began to transform.
"Wait, she's transforming here?" Soots asked.
"It appears so," Eterna replied thoughtfully before adding, "I wonder how that will affect this armour."
As Tephe's transformation finished and she revealed her armoured dragon form before roaring to the sky, Soots and Eterna stared in shocked silence at what they were witnessing for several seconds before Soots found her voice and asked, "Admiral, is that who I think it is?"
"I can't be; that would be impossible," Eterna replied in disbelief before adding, "White Dragon Tephe was only born a little over five hundred years ago."
"But they look identical," Soots replied before asking in a voice filled with excitement, "Can it possibly be that White Dragon Tephe is the same White Dragon that saved our Phoenix race all those years ago?"
💫💫💫
[Animefangirl (Earth): THAT IS SO FUCKING ANIME!]
[RealOtaku (Earth): An armoured dragon, that's so awesome.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): OMFG, it's the white dragon from the Siege of Fenix Nest.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): But that's impossible, isn't it?]
[OracleRomy (Elysium): So she finally revealed the truth.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Romy?]
[OfficialRowena (Fenix Nest): So that's her armoured dragon form.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Fenix Nest): Gotta admit, that's cool.]
[LadyErkath (Alastor): This is going to change everything for her; no longer will she be seen as the spoiled brat.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): You all knew?]
[LadyErkath (Alastor): Of course.]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Wait, if Tephe's the White Dragon from the Siege of Fenix Nest, does that mean that Spector Unit Six is the real Black Knight?]
"WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK!" Kalre cursed as he stared up in shock at Tephe.
"I'm dreaming, right? This is a dream, it has to be," Deirlo mumbled in disbelief.
"If you are, then we're all sharing the same dream," Denog replied in a shocked tone.
"How?" Narven asked, staring up at Tephe in shock before adding, "How is it possible that Tephe is the same White Dragon from the Siege of Fenix Nest?"
"It's a mistake, it has to be a mistake, maybe they just look the same, yeah, that must be it," Kalre stammered as he refused to believe what he was seeing before his eyes.
"Try to deny it all you like," Revi said happily before turning to all the phoenixes who had gathered around them and opening her arms widely while saying loudly, "MY CITIZENS, HEAR ME AND ALLOW ME TO PRESENT TO YOU THE WHITE DRAGON THAT HELPED SAVE OUR ENTIRE RACE AT THE SIEGE OF FENIX NEST, MY GODDAUGHTER, WHITE DRAGON TEPHE!"
As she finished her proclamation, Revi pointed upwards towards Tephe as practically every phoenix in the Ashes Galaxy erupted into cheers as they heard their empress's announcement through the USNN celebratory stream.
💫💫💫
"IT'S TRUE, IT'S TRUE, EMPRESS REVI HAS CONFIRMED IT, WHITE DRAGON TEPHE IS THE SAME WHITE DRAGON THAT SAVED OUR RACE!" Soots shouted as she lost all professionalism in her excitement.
"Having a Black Knight replica appear at the celebration is one thing, but having the actual White Dragon that saved us is on a completely different level," Eterna remarked.
"I know, the only thing that could top this would be if the actual Black Knight made an appearance," Soots said in excitement.
💫💫💫
"Xer-verse and every other social media site are blowing up," Eri remarked as she stared at the comments flooding Xer-verse on the holographic screen before her.
"You two knew about this?" Aphrodite asked in shock while looking at Stacey and Rowena.
"Of course, Adam and Tephe explained it to us after their return," Rowena replied smugly.
"Wait, so Adam is really the Black Knight pilot from back then?" Aphrodite asked.
"How do you think Tephe got there without Adam?" Stacey asked with a smirk.
"You mean to say those two saved an entire race?" Emma asked in surprise.
"Yup, and in doing so, they changed history," Stacey replied.
"What do you mean, they changed history?" Aphrodite asked.
"I'm afraid that without their permission, we're not willing to reveal that information," Rowena replied before adding, "Though I will tell you that it's the reason why Tephe seems so different."
"Why didn't you tell us this?" Aphrodite demanded.
"Because it wasn't our secret to reveal," Rowena said with a frown before adding, "There are only a handful of people who knew the truth before today and that was only because either they were there like Revi or they were part of our discussion afterwards, like Erkath."
💫💫💫
"Wow, she looks so cool," Billie remarked.
"I know, right?" Joanne said before adding, "Still, I can't believe Tephe is actually the same White Dragon that saved the Phoenix race."
"What happened?" Millie asked excitedly while Emily stared at Tephe in shock and amazement.
"Well, from what we have been told in his chat, the Phoenix race was being hunted to extinction by…" Joanne replied as she began to tell the tale.
