Krika: Hey guys! Welcome to my Buddyfight story, Awakened Lord! This story will follow an AU version of the Hundred storyline, along with the Triple D storyline which is yet to be finished. Several OCs will be in this story, and it was all thanks with the help of DimensionDistorter with helping me in figuring out what we can add. We are still currently thinking of ideas of what to add in this story through an RP chat in the PM section. Anyway, this first chapter will introduce the first of the several OCs. Purgatory Knight Commander, Demascus Sword Dragon, the son of Demios Sword Dragon. Warning, there WILL be spoilers for the Hundred storyline. And this will show you guys the history behind the Purgatory Knights before they became Darkness Dragon World monsters. Also, I'll be doing some pairings that you guys like so much. Enjoy! I do not own Buddyfight. All credit of original characters in the show go to Bushiroad and the producers. Same goes for the cards in Buddyfight.
Buddyfight...a game where cards act as portals for monster from other worlds to travel to Earth and fight alongside humans. But before this age, these monsters were never known about anyone else. Before the adventures of Gao Mikado and his friends, there were the adventures of many monsters wanting to make a name for themselves, or to bring honor to the clans that they belonged to. We follow the story of one such monster. A dragon from Dragon World, a proud warrior of the Purgatory Knights, and recently made commander. This dragon's name is Demascus Sword Dragon, his father being the leader of the Purgatory Knights. Demios Sword Dragon. The weight of being a commander of a unit can put some pressure on anyone, so right now he was relieving some of that stress by sparring with an old rival. Fire Sword Doble, who recently became chosen to be a Fifth Omni Calvary Dragon for Fifth Omni Dragon Lord, Tenbu.
Demascus had an impressive build due to him going through intensive training. He wore red and blue armor across his body, and he was wielding a giant sword. The sword had a red and blue hilt, with the blade itself having a dragon going down the center and an open mouth at the end of the blade. "So, your new position eating at you just as badly?" The young commander asked the Calvary Dragon.
"What do you think? Lord Tenbu just came out of nowhere and asked me to be a Calvary Dragon along with the others. And that includes that Dragowizard, Arkaid," Doble responded, clashing his flaming blade against Demascus' larger one.
"Well, Dragowizards are basically transfer monsters from Dragon World to Magic World, so it does make sense for him to have chosen her," Demascus said, jumping back a bit from the other dragon.
"And then you have Alliot. You know how hard he's been training to become the next leader of the Drum Clan, and then Tenbu came in and recruited him," Doble said, slashing some flames at Demascus, which he blocked using his own sword.
"He was pretty torn about that, huh? He's a small guy, but he's got a very large amount of pride," Demascus said, swinging his sword down on Doble, who dodged it.
"Don't let him catch you calling him small. You know how he hates being called small, or anything that relates to his size," Doble says.
"Like your temper? You DO have a really bad one, Dobby," Demascus said, smirking.
Doble got a tic mark on his forehead and he pointed his sword at him, some flames coming out of his mouth as he yelled, "Dammit! I thought I told you to quit calling me that! It. Is. DOBLE! You got that?!"
Demascus stabbed his sword into the ground and leaned against it, "Hey, it's all in good and fun. Lighten up already"
Doble just growled, "Well, what about you? I mean, you did say that you're feeling nervous about your new position as commander of the Purgatory Knights!"
"Yeah, but unlike you my father has been training me so I can take over his position as leader someday. Tenbu, like you said, came in from nowhere and recruited you," Demascus continued.
Doble huffed some flames from his nose, "Well, who knows how long you have to wait until the day comes along when you become the leader"
"And who knows how long you'll tell a certain archer how you feel," Demascus said, getting a grin on his face.
"W-what the hell?! I do not have those kind feelings for M-Meglax!" Doble shouted, getting a blush from embarrassment and anger.
"Ooh...you stuttered," Demascus said, laughing.
"Shut up, you idiot! And what about, Arkaid, huh?! Not like you're not making it obvious," Doble shouted, making Demascus stop laughing and blink a bit, making the Calvary Dragon grin this time.
"I...huh? W-what are you talking about?" Demascus said, stuttering a bit
"Yeah, I got dirt on you too, big shot. You try to act so cool around her, it's kinda obvious you like her," Doble said, grinning.
"YOU SAY ANYTHING TO HER AND YOU'LL REGRET IT!" Demascus shouted in anger. Doble just laughed.
"What on earth are you two shouting about now?"
The two dragons looked to see the rest of the Calvary Dragons, Meglax being the one that spoke up.
"Oh...hey guys," Demascus said.
"Odd twist of things. You shouting and Doble laughing. Normally it's the other way around," Mizaru said.
"What exactly are you two arguing about this time anyway?" Alliot asked.
"Uhh...nothing. Nothing at all," The two said at the same time, making the others raise their brows.
"Right...anyway, your father sent us to inform you about your coronation as commander, Demascus," Arkaid said to the Armordragon.
"Okay. Thanks for telling me that Arkaid. Now, I better be off, I'll see you guys..." Something in the sky caught Demascus' eye and he looked up, "Um...what exactly is that?" He pointed to the sky, making the other dragons look up.
They were witnessing something completely unnatural in Dragon World, pitch black clouds were beginning to cover the sky, darkening the land.
"What the hell...? Those sure aren't any normal storm cloud," Doble said, gripping his sword.
Purgatory Knights Silver Staff Dragon and Eval Grebe Dragon rushed towards the dragons, their armor being the same color as Demascus'. (All Purgatory Knights prior to becoming Darkness Dragon World monsters will have blue and red armor for their Dragon World attire. And this story will build on the lore background behind the Purgatory Knights)
"Everyone! Something terrible is happening!" Silver Staff shouted.
"What's going on?" Demascus asked.
"Black Dragons are invading! They're swarming all over Dragon World!" Grebe shouted.
This made everyone's eyes widen.
"What?! How did they get here?!" Demascus said, pulling his sword from the ground and tightly gripping the hilt.
"We're not sure, but Lord Demios and Fang Slade are leading the defense," Silver explained.
Demascus looked at the Clavary Dragons, "You all get Lord Tenbu. Tell him what's happening and join the rest of the defenders as quickly as you can"
"Right. We'll get him quickly. Just be careful," Mizaru said before he and the rest of the Calvary Dragons ran to find the Omni Dragon Lord.
Demascus and the two Purgatory Knights ran towards where the fight was, encountering some Black Dragons along the way, "Out of our way, you bastards!" Demascus shouted, slashing two dragons in half, black blood spurting from the now dead Black Dragons. Silver and Grebe using their own weapons to take down Black Dragons as well. This was the nature of war, and it will always be like this. In war, there are always casualties, it is an unavoidable fact, and Demascus, Silver, Grebe, and the rest of the Purgatory Knights know this.
The three managed to reach the frontlines, where it was mass chaos. Black Dragons of varying sizes and shapes were destroying and killing everything in sight. Multiple defenders were holding them off, ranging from dragons to Dragon Knights. Demios and Fang Slade Terrestrial the 13th were leading the charge against the invaders. Demascus and the two dragons with him caught up to them.
"Father!" Demascus shouted, clashing against a Death Gaze Dragon.
"Demascus! You came just in time, son. These Black Dragons just started their invasion, but they've already destroyed a large portion of our world," Demios explained to his son.
"I saw...but we must end this quickly before more innocents die!" Demascus shouted, beheading the dragon he was clashing against.
"I couldn't agree more. But the best way to weaken their forces is to take down the one leading them. A Black Dragon calling himself the Void Omni Wicked Lord has been causing the most damage," Demios said, causing Demascus to become shocked.
"An OMNI LORD is doing this?! But why?! Aren't the Omni Lords supposed to be protectors of the various worlds?!" Demascus shouted in disbelief.
"Apparently this one originally thought that way, until he fell from grace and became a Fallen Omni Lord," Demios said. (Fallen Omni Lord is a term that me and DD thought up to label an Omni Lord that has become corrupted and has fallen. Void Omni Wicked Lord, Negulbalz is one such Omni Lord that has fallen to darkness)
"So, he's a corrupted Omni Lord from what you're saying. I understand father. The only way we can end this invasion is if we take him down," Demascus said.
There was a rumbling in the ground before Demascus and Demios saw the massive Black Dragon that was mentioned. This Black Dragon had onyx black scales with blood red scales. On his chest was what looked like a hole with a strange green glow emanating from it. On his head were three eyes, two on his face, and one on his forehead. He had five broken horns with the same green glow coming from them much like his chest. He had giant wings with a red membrane with two arms located on his back along with large spikes. Chains were wrapped around his other two arms, which he was using to smash anything in his way, not even caring if it was friend or foe. "Where is he?! Where is the one named Tenbu?!" Negulbalz, the Fallen Omni Lord, shouted.
"Guess that's him..." Demascus said, baring his fangs and gripping the hilt of his massive sword, "That bastard...he'll pay!" he shouted before charging at him.
"Commander! Wait!" Silver shouted to him.
Demascus leaped up and raised his blade, however Negulbalz noticed this and breathed a green cloud at the Armordragon, "W-what?!" Demascus shielded himself, but as he took one shallow breath of the gas, he started to feel his entire body go numb. Poison?! He began to lose strength and began falling, that was until Negulbalz smacked him away and Demascus crashed into one of the ruined buildings. Demascus' senses were shot, and all he heard were the muffled sounds of battle as he struggled to get up. Soon, his hearing became better as well as his sight as the poison ran its course through his body. Soon he was able to barely sit up and prop himself up against some rubble and held his head, a wound on it and dripping blood. He then heard a scream of pain, but not from an injury from what he guess...no, it sounded like a pained scream of loss. W...was that Crossbow...? He thought to himself until Silver and Grebe came to his aid.
"Commander!" Silver shouted, helping Demascus up.
"Are you okay sir?" Grebe asked worriedly.
"I'm fine...but I heard Crossbow...he was screaming out...one of you go find him, and fast," Demascus said, in which Grebe nodded and rushed out to find their comrade.
"You'll need some rest, Demascus. You took a serious hit," Silver said, tending to his commander.
"I'm fine. Just a short bit of rest and I'll be good to go," Demascus retorted to his friend.
"If you say so..." Silver said, a worried expression on his face.
Soon they saw a fireball hit a large group of Black Dragons, turning them to ash almost instantly.
"What the...?" Demascus said before Tenbu and the Fifth Omni Calvary Dragons came in to aid the defenders.
"Hope we didn't come in too late, Demascus," Doble said, using his blade to cut down a few of the Black Dragons.
"Nope. Your timing was perfect," Demascus said, smiling.
"You get rested up while we deal with these invaders," Merak said, using his lance to take down some of the enemies.
Negulbalz growled when he saw Tenbu, "Tenbu...it's been a long time since you broke my horns and usurped the title that rightfully belonged to me!"
"I took it from you because you became corrupted, and there was no saving you. You wanted to conquer the other worlds that Armordeity Dynamis chose you to protect. So I had to stop your madness, but it seems that I should've finished you off," Tenbu said to the Fallen Omni Lord.
"Well, that was your own mistake, wasn't it? Now come! Show me the power that was given to you by that fool Dynamis!" Negulbalz shouted, challenging the Dragon Omni Lord.
After Demascus was rested, he and Silver set out to find Grebe and Crossbow. They found them alright, along with a mass of dead bodies, ranging from Black Dragons to Dragon World defenders. Crossbow was seen by the two kneeling over a barely recognizable body, while Grebe was leaning on his weapon near some rubble, a look of horror on his face, "Grebe, what happened?"
"It...it was terrible...Crossbow..." Grebe said in a panic-stricken voiced.
Demascus looked towards Crossbow and began to approach him, "Crossbow?"
Crossbow lifted his head slight...before he grabbed his weapon and pointed it at Demascus, making the commander's eyes widen and dodge some bolts that came his way. Crossbow's eyes were filled with hatred, pain, bloodlust, and insanity, "You'll pay! You'll all pay!"
"What the hell?! Crossbow! Snap out of it! It's us!" Demascus shouted, dodging or deflecting some more bolts that were fired from Crossbow's weapon.
The other two took cover behind a large boulder while Demascus jumped over it and crouched down.
"Grebe! Who was that?!" Silver shouted.
"I...it was Crossbow's mate...the Black Dragons...they didn't give her a quick end. They burned her alive..." Grebe said, gripping his head, "I...I can still hear her screams...it was horrible..."
"We need to snap Crossbow out of it before he hurts himself, or anyone else," Demascus said before Crossbow jumped over them, his weapon engulfed in black and purple energy before he fired some more bolts, causing the other three to dodge the energy-infused bolts that made small craters upon impact.
"Dammit! Cut it out, Crossbow! It's us, your friends!" Silver shouted, charging at him with his staff.
"DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE!" Crossbow shouted, laughing in his bloodlust-induced insanity.
Silver used his staff to block more bolts while dodging some that he couldn't get. The distraction gave Demascus to tackle Crossbow to the ground, who tried snapping at him with his jaws.
"Calm down! It's me, Crossbow! Demascus!" Demascus shouted, trying to calm down the other dragon.
Soon Crossbow began to slowly calm down, "C...commander? Wha..."
"It's alright...we're here..." Demascus said, helping his friend up.
"D...Demascus...t-the Black Dragons...t-they..." Crossbow said, shaking as tears welled up in his eyes.
"I know...Grebe told me and Silver what happened..." Demascus said to his friend, sympathy in his voice.
Crossbow shook and fell to his knees before putting his hands to his face and cried openly, mourning over the loss of his mate.
Demascus put a comforting hand on his shoulder, "I know it's hard...but I promise that we'll avenge her. We'll avenge all the brave warriors that lost their lives to these monsters"
Crossbow slowly got up and picked up his weapon, "I'll kill them all...I'll kill the Black Dragons and stop this invasion. Even if it means I'll die in the end"
Demascus nodded and the four headed back to the fight, finding that the Black Dragons and the Dragon World defenders were staying as far away as possible from the fight between the two Omni Lords. Tenbu was winning in mobility, using his longer body to quickly dodge Negulbalz' attacks.
The four Purgatory Knights met up with Demios and Fang Slade, "Father"
"Demascus, I'm glad that you're alright," Demascus said.
Demascus looked to the two battling Omni Lords, "I wish there is something we can do..."
"Not much any of us can do against something like Negulbalz...but maybe you can. I think it's time you show these Black Dragons the power that you alone have," Demios said.
"Father..." Demascus nodded, "Okay! I'll aid Lord Tenbu and end this once and for all!" Demascus said, leaping up into the air and using his wings to reach Tenbu, who was scanning Negulbalz' body for any weakness, "Lord Tenbu!"
"Demascus? What are you doing here? This isn't a fight you can handle," Tenbu said to the younger dragon.
"Please allow me to aid you. I acted out in anger and was unfocused. I promise to be of aid to you in this fight," Demascus said, a burning fire in his eyes.
"...Okay. If you wish. But be prepared for a fight like no other," Tenbu said.
Demascus nodded and pointed his blade up into the sky, "Purgatory Knights! Lend me your strength!" White energy began to wrap around his blade, catching the attention of all the other Purgatory Knights, who raised their weapons up like their Commander as white energy shot out of their weapons and went to Demascus, who began to glow brightly in the energy. "I will not allow any more lives be lost to you Black Dragons! My name is Demascus Sword Dragon! Commander of the Purgatory Knights!"
"Now...show them your true power, my son!" Demios shouted proudly to his son.
The glow faded from Demascus, who was still lightly glowing from it, but now his armor was white with dull grey areas, his hair was now reminiscent to that of white fire and his sword had an aura around it, "This is the power of the desire to protect this world, Negulbalz...this is my Alabaster Form!" Demascus shouted, swinging his sword and letting loose a blast of energy that struck the massive Black Dragon, causing Negulbalz to crash into the ground as a large gash was evident on his chest, green blood oozing from the wound.
"D...damn you! I will not fall to a pathetic wretch like you!" The Void Omni Wicked Lord shouted, getting up, but Demascus and Tenbu were already on him, using their own attacks to deal damage against the Black Dragon.
"This world will not fall so easily, Negulbalz! Me and this young man will defeat you and end this invasion!" Tenbu shouted.
"Fools...all of you! I will destroy you all! All in the name of my master, Azi Dahaka!" Negulbalz shouted, "Negative Field!" A pulse of black energy came from his body as time seemed to have stopped all around him, everyone's colors except for Negulbalz changed to black and white, "I...will destroy the both of you!" He shouted before slamming the two into the ground and blasted them with green fire, time resuming afterwards and both Demascus and Tenbu were injured badly from the attacks.
"D...dammit..." Demascus said, getting up before stabbing his sword into the ground, "Radiant Field!" A pulse of white energy came from his sword and began to cover the area, his and Tenbu's wounds begant to slowly heal, which made Negulbalz growl in anger.
"I will not allow you to heal yourself! I will end you, right here, right now!" Negulbalz shouted, readying to attack them once more, but that was until he was assaulted by a flurry of arrows and blasts of flames.
"We won't allow you to harm them!" Meglax shouted, readying another volley of arrows from his bow.
"You completely forgot about us, Fallen Omni Lord! We Fifth Omni Calvary Dragons are always there to protect the Omni Dragon Lord!" Doble said, gripping his blade.
"Damn you!" Negulbalz shouted before he was caught in a whirlwind of sand that buffeted and blinded him until it was over.
"We may not be able to injure you much..." Arkaid said, she was floating above the ground, readying another spell.
Negulbalz was about to breath fire on her, but heard a battle cry above him and looked him, that was a grave mistake as Mizaru slashed his katana across Negulbalz' right eye, blinding him 1/3, "But we can buy time for Demascus and Lord Tenbu!"
Negulbalz cried out in pain and put a hand over his injured eye as his blood dripped from the wound, "SHINING BUNKER!" Alliot shouted as he and Merak used their lance weapons to tear up the Fallen Omni Lord's wings, robbing him of his ability to fly.
"It was your own fault for challenging Lord Tenbu..." Merak said, landing on the ground with Alliot.
"And now you have to deal with us! Size doesn't always matter Negulbalz!" Alliot shouted.
Negulbalz heard another battle cry coming from the largest of the 7 Calvary Dragons as Fuad came down with his hammer, flames blasting from the back of it as the large dragon used the momentum and force to crush the eye on Negulbalz's forehead, "We learned from Tenbu to battle against Omni Lords like you! When we work together, nothing can defeat us! We are the Fifth Omni Calvary Dragons! And you dared to challenge the one we follow into battle! Grahahah!" Fuad shouted, laughing loudly.
"GRAAAHHHH!" Negulbalz yelled in pain from all of the injuries that he had suffered from the seven dragons, "YOU...FOOLS! YOU ARE NOTHING! I WILL DESTROY EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU AND BURN THIS ENTIRE WORLD!"
"That...is not going to happen!" Demascus shouted, a mass of white energy swirling around his blade as he and Tenbu were in the air again, their wounds completely healed thanks to the Calvary Dragons buying them some time.
"This will end you, Negulbalz! Demascus! Merge your attack with mine!" Tenub shouted, creating his well known Howling Fire move before he flew behind it and breathed a stream of flames at it, sending it towards the Fallen Omni Lord before Demascus shot towards the Void Omni Wicked Lord, his sword aiming in front of him as the flames from the Howling Fire and the flames turned white.
"THIS WILL FINISH IT! RADIANT HOWLING METEOR!" Demascus shouted before the combined attack blasted straight through the massive Black Dragon, making Negulbalz scream out in agony. Demascus landed on the ground in a crouch and placed his giant sword on his back as the Fallen Omni Lord fell to the ground with a loud crash, the green glow disappearing from his body as he laid on the ground, motionless. Demascus stood up and saw something next to Negulbalz' body and went to investigate before finding a pitch black orb that was cracked terribly, he picked it up and examined it before the others ran up.
"That was amazing, sir!" Silver shouted, relieved that the battle was finally over.
"Radiant Howling Meteor, huh?" Fang Slade said, smirking.
Demascus rubbed the back of his head and chuckled, "I...got a bit caught up in the moment"
Tenbu noticed the orb in Demascus' hand, "Demascus? What's that?"
"Oh, this? I found this next to that Black Dragon's body after that finishing move," Demascus said, looking at the orb.
Tenbu's eyes widened, realizing what that orb was, "Demascus...that's..."
"Lord Demios!" Purgatory Knight, Death Sickle Dragon flew down.
"What is it Death Sickle?" Demios asked the dragon.
"I located the portal that leads to Darkness Dragon World! And there's another army of Black Dragons ready to come through!" Death Sickle said in urgency, which shocked the others.
"Another army?! But...damn, guess there's no other choice then..." Demios said to himself, "I'll hold them off and close off the portal from the inside"
"But Demios! There's no certainty you'll survive!" Fang Slade to his friend.
"Father..." Demascus said.
"It's the only choice Demascus. I have to do this," Demios said to his son.
"No. I want to come with you to stop this invasion once and for all," Demascus said, the orb in his hand faintly flashed Kanji lettering that spelled out Dark Dragon, but no one noticed as the glow disappeared.
"Demascus, I can't allow you to do such a thing. You still have a long life ahead of you!" Demios said,
"This is my duty as a Purgatory Knight of Dragon World. If this is the only choice to protect our home, I'll gladly lay down my life!" Demascus said to his father, until all the other Purgatory Knights joined in with him, agreeing on taking on the responsibility.
"Everyone...okay, we'll stop this together!" Demios shouted, getting victorious cries from the other knights.
"Demascus..." Arkaid said to the young commander, a bit sad with the decision, but knew that it was the right thing to do. "I..." She was surprised when the Armordragon brought her into a hug.
"I'm sorry...I know that this will effect you too, but..." Demascus said, before getting interrupted.
"No. There's no need to be sorry. You're doing this of your own free will, and no one will blame you for that," Arkaid said, hugging him back. She too had an interest in the Armordragon, but she never really showed it.
"Thank you for understanding...maybe someday...we'll see each other again..." Demascus said, letting go of the hug with the female dragon.
"I'd like that...a lot..." Arkaid said to him.
Demios led the Purgatory Knights towards the portal, where they fought back the Black Dragons that were about to come through. The plan worked as they managed to push them back and the portal closed behind them, the black sky returning to normal. The Purgatory Knights gave the ultimate sacrifice...and it was uncertain if they were to ever return again...
