"Ancient Fairy Dragon, the duel spirits won't be able to hold them off for long." Regulus said nervously. "If things continue at this rate we'll all be destroyed."
"He's right, even my protective magic won't hold off their assault for much longer. We need to find help from somewhere otherwise the Spirit World will fall." Torunka said.
"I know, however with the signers no longer being needed in their world I no longer can communicate with Luna. I fear this new threat will inevitably destroy our homes." the Ancient Fairy Dragon said just as an explosion occurred in the sky above them.
"Torunka, how long can your barrier shield us from their assault?" Regulus asked nervously.
"I can no longer say for certain, it may only be a matter of minutes. Even at best we have only a day." Torunka said as more explosions filled the sky around them.
"Regulus, Torunka, the two of you focus on getting as many remaining duel spirits to safety while we still have time. I'll hold them off as long as I can." the Ancient Fairy Dragon said quickly.
"We're not leaving you to fend them off alone, it's too dangerous." Regulus said just as a massive explosion shattered Torunka's barrier.
"The all powerful Ancient Fairy Dragon, once you were a spirit that commanded respect and authority. Your very presence helped shape this world into what it is today, you've grown soft in your old age." said a voice from above them. "The Spirit World needs someone who's willing to take risks, and I intend to be that someone."
"Felgrand Dragon, all you've done is slaughter countless duel spirits alongside your allies. You have no right to lead them in any way." Torunka said angrily.
"It was because of your pacifistic nature that Zeman the Ape King and the dark signers nearly destroyed this world." Felgrand Dragon said coldly. "The only way to ensure the safety of the duel spirits is to eliminate any potential threat, and the two greatest threats to our world are the Netherworld and the Human World."
"What are you saying, you want to declare war on the Human World?" Regulus asked. "That's absolutely insane."
"Insane, we Dragon Lords possess more than sufficient power to wipe the humans out in one quick strike." Felgrand Dragon said calmly. "Of course, my offer still stands. Stop this pointless resisting and join me in my goals of protecting the Spirit World."
"Your offer is a farce, and you have no desire to protect the Spirit World." Torunka said. "All you desire is power, the Dragon Lords thrive on bloodshed and destruction sacrificing your own kind to avoid your own deaths. You have no right to lead anything."
"I feared you would say that, however we both know the choice isn't yours to make." Felgrand Dragon said calmly. "Ancient Fairy Dragon, this is your final chance to side with me. So what is your decision?"
"My decision is the same as it has always been." the Ancient Fairy Dragon said. "I'll agree that the Netherworld is dangerous, but you take things to far. I won't allow you to destroy either world."
"I was afraid you would say that, Ancient Fairy Dragon." Felgrand Dragon said calmly. "Destroy them."
The moment Felgrand Dragon said that, hundreds of dragons appeared in the sky.
"Torunka, we could really use a teleportation spell about now." Regulus said.
"I don't have time, and even if I could there's no telling what could happen." Torunka said.
"I'll buy you both as much time as I can, you must find a way to stop them before it's too late." the Ancient Fairy Dragon said flying up to engage the dragons.
"Fool, dragons aren't limited to striking from the air." a voice said from behind Regulus and Torunka.
"Darkblaze Dragon, how nice of you to join us." Felgrand Dragon said calmly. "I take he's still trying to find a way to travel between worlds?"
"Of course, without the powers of the signer girl Luna it's proving to be quite the difficult task." Darkblaze Dragon said calmly. "Of course once we've dealt with these three the remaining duel spirits will join us in time."
Suddenly a flash of black light enveloped Regulus and Torunka causing them to disappear.
"What happened?" Felgrand Dragon asked in shock. "There's no way he gathered his strength that quickly."
"It doesn't matter, we can deal with them later." Darkblaze Dragon said calmly flying up next to Felgrand Dragon. "Right now we can still destroy the Ancient Fairy Dragon once and for all."
"You have a good point, in that case I'll leave you the honor." Felgrand Dragon said calmly.
"In that case, Flames of Despair." Darkblaze Dragon said breathing black and orange flames towards the Ancient Fairy Dragon.
"Soon enough the Spirit World will be under our control, and then we can eliminate every threat to our safety." Felgrand Dragon said calmly. "It truly is a shame you stood against us, you would have made a valuable ally. Now these flames will be your demise."
The moment Felgrand Dragon said that, the Ancient Fairy Dragon fell to the ground and faded from existence.

"What happened, where are we?" Regulus asked cautiously.
"I don't know, that spell was one of mine but I'm still not strong enough to teleport myself let alone both of us." Torunka said.
"Master, I'm so glad the spell worked." said a voice from behind them.
"What, Dark Magician Girl?" Torunka asked in shock. "Where are we, and how did you manage to gather enough power to save us?"
"I understand that you have several questions, and I'll do my best to answer them." said a figure in the shadows. "First things first though, we need to find allies to stop the Dragon Lords."
"He's right Master, if we want to have any hope of surviving we need help." Dark Magician Girl said nervously.
"I know, alright just tell me what we need to do." Torunka said quietly. "Right now we need all the help we can get."
(The Spirit World is in chaos and the Dragon Lords are attempting to gain control. Next chapter the repercussions of the Ancient Fairy Dragon's demise will begin to make themselves known. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
