Zachariah was true to his word. Dominic made predictions on the seals and the angels always made sure she was well fed and that she stayed in a motel. Meaning that she STAYED in the motel under angel guard and she always had at least one angel with her at all times. She couldn't hunt and they wouldn't let her fight demons. Being their "Great Asset" was growing irritating. They kept moving her around so at least the scenery changed every now and again. They said it was to keep the demons from finding her. Dominic didn't think demons would be stupid enough to attack a dragon. She didn't feel as if she was truly making a difference in this war.
"I understand you're frustrated but you are helping us more than you realize." Zachariah assured. "Then let me help more. Let me do what I was designed to do and kill demons. I can do this." Dominic insisted. "Oh I have no doubt you could but we can't risk losing you." Zachariah stated. Dominic sighed in defeat knowing that she was not going to win. "You'll get your chance. Just be patient." Zachariah promised before disappearing. Dominic was half tempted to shadow teleport out of here right now but she knew the angels would quickly find her when they realized she was gone. She could always leave a doppelganger but she wasn't sure it would fool the angels. Dominic decided to put it out of her mind for now. She conjured a chocolate cheesecake into existence. It had been her favorite treat when she was with Gabriel. Gosh she missed Gabriel. He had warned her to be cautious of other angels. What he hadn't warned her about was the fact that they were a bunch of pricks.
There was a knock on the door. It was Samandriel which Dominic was happy about. He was one of the few angels who treated her like a person. "Hey Samandriel." Dominic greeted. "Everything OK? He asked. "Everything is fine. Sorry you got stuck on guard duty." She apologized. "I don't mind." He admitted noticing the cheesecake. "Where did that come from?" "The cheesecake? I conjured it." Dominic admitted "Want some?" Samandriel gave her a disapproving look. "What? It's not like I'm doing anything else with my powers." Dominic said sharply. "Just don't do anything to drastic." Samandriel requested. "and I appreciate the offer but no thank you." The angel left without saying another word. "Angels." Dominic sighed.
She ate her cheesecake in silence before going to bed and falling into a deep sleep. She dreamt of flying. Gosh she missed flying so much. Dominic felt an over whelming joy at doing her aerial acrobatics even if it was just a dream. But that joy quickly turned to dread. Something was wrong. She could feel it. Dominic realized she needed to wake up. She opened her eyes gasping for breath but the feeling didn't disappear and Dominic quickly realized why. Demons. She could sense their approach and there were quite a few of them too along with something else. She leapt out of bed and magically switched clothes. "Samandriel?" she called but there was no answer. She opened the door to find that there was no guard. "That's not a good sign." Dominic thought to herself. She could sense two of the demons approaching. "And that's even worse." She thought as she saw their shadows around the corner. Dominic pushed the door as she retreated passing through a shadow but it didn't close all the way. She didn't have time to go back and close it fully because a moment later the two male demons kicked the door open. "Where is it?" one of them asked the other. "How should I know?" The other demanded. "It? Were they talking about me?" Dominic wondered as she stepped out of the shadow realm. The two demons' backs were to her so they didn't notice she was there until she clamped a hand around each of their mouths to keep their screams from being heard. White fire ignited in her palms and burned over the two demons before disappearing like it had never existed. She let the bodies drop which were unharmed. The same could not be said for the demons she had just burned out. Dominic wasn't sure if the white fire killed demons or just sent them back to hell. Either way they didn't come back.
"Hey what's taking so long a female voice called. "Crap" Dominic thought as she passed back through the shadows. As much as she wanted to get rid of that other demon she did not have time. She needed to find Samandriel. With this many demons around something had to have happened. She stepped out of the shadows outside the motel. She didn't see any angels but she had to keep shadow transporting to get around the many demons. By now they had seen her handiwork and were on high alert. She finally found Samandriel along with two other angels that she didn't recognize along with a bunch of hellhounds holding them down by their wings and limbs in the town square. Dominic counted at least twenty on each angel. The hellhounds didn't look as wolfish as the ones from her dimension. They looked more like black red eyed Pitbulls, except for the narrower snout and large pointed ears, with oversized teeth and claws. They growled as they struggled against the hellhounds sharp teeth. Dominic could also see a demon standing over the angels. There were probably more but the ally she was in was obstructing her view. He was wearing a suit and had dark curly hair. "You're just delaying the inevitable." The demon said twirling one of the angel blades. "Now tell me where is the asset?" he moved the blade to Samandriel's throat. "You're wasting your breath. She's long gone by now." Samandriel growled. "Well I was going to kill you anyway." The demon stated raising the blade. "No!" Dominic shouted in her head as she brought her hands together to focus her glowing purple chakra. It formed a large four point curved shuriken. She threw it as she stepped out of the shadows. The shuriken knocked the blade from the demon's hand before curving back around and returning to its owner. Everyone turned to her. "Looking for me?" Dominic asked. The demon smiled. "No! Dominic get out of here run!" Samandriel yelled. The other angels started yelling for her to escape but she ignored them. "Let the angels go now and I won't make your death too painful." Dominic threatened. The demon laughed. More demons and hellhounds appeared on rooftops and out of the other alleys. "You sound more like one of us than these angel pricks." The demon commented. "Oh I'm no angel. I'm far worse." Dominic warned. She wanted nothing more than to transform and rip this demon apart but she had been careful not to reveal that her transformation fire was white. Maybe she could mask it blue fire appeared in her hands. She quickly moved the fire to her back as she brought out her dragon wings. The blue fire did its job and no one was able to see the white fire underneath. Dominic growled bringing her claws up and revealing newly sharpened teeth. Her purple eyes glowed like fire in the darkness. The demon's smile faded to a look of surprise. "I'm going to enjoy making you beg for your life." He growled as his eyes turned red. "And I'm going to enjoy ripping your soul out of that host body." She countered. "Kill her." The demon ordered. The hellhounds charged but before they could reach her Dominic whistled and several dark figures leapt from the shadows behind her and collided with the hellhounds. "Good boys." Dominic said. The figures were her shadow beasts. They were wolf like except for short fur, thin tails and the lion like mane with hair that forms cone like structures. Their eyes were completely purple and glowed just as Dominic's did. Everyone froze not sure what to do. The shadow beasts held the hellhounds down awaiting their mistress's command. "Sick-em" Dominic commanded breaking the silence. They began tearing into the hellhounds while more shadow beasts emerged from behind her and went after the demons tearing them out of their host before ripping them apart. Dominic did not stand idle either. With a swift movement of her hands she took control of the shadows. The shadows wrapped around the remaining demons preventing their escape. She moved in a blur towards the red eyed demon. He tried to run but Dominic had knocked him to the ground. "You should have known better than to try and take on a dragon." Dominic growled. "Especially one with shadow abilities." "No that's impossible. There are no more dragons." The demon told her. "What?" Dominic gasped loosening her grip at the shock. The demon could tell that he had gotten to her. "All the dragons are dead. I made sure of it." He smiled. The world seemed to move in slow motion at the realization of what he was saying.
Something snapped within her. Her eyes turned completely purple and her chakra emerged completely covering her and forming the shape of a dragon. She dug her claws into the demon and ripped out the soul slamming it to the ground. She dug into the demon soul tearing pieces off until there was nothing left but she didn't stop there. She couldn't. She moved on all fours attacking the next demon and the next until none remained but she still wanted more. "Dominic!" someone called. It sounded like it was coming from miles away. "Dominic!" the voice called again. Dominic managed to focus on the voice. It was Samandriel. Her vision cleared and she could see that he was standing only a few feet in front of her. The other two angels had surrounded her and had their angel blades drawn. "It's Ok it's over." Samandriel assured. It took her a moment to realize that she was growling. Dominic pulled her chakra back into herself and the dragon form around her disappeared. She dropped to her knees gasping for breath. She was still in her partial form. The other two angels backed off. "Is it true?" Dominic demanded. "Am I really the only dragon left?" Samandriel looked at her with pity. "I can't answer that. The angels haven't been on earth for centuries." He admitted. "No wonder this world is going to hell." Dominic thought. "Demons lie all the time. I wouldn't take anything they say at face value." Samandriel stated. Dominic hoped he was right.
"Holy cow! What happened here?" Zachariah interrupted. Dominic shifted back to human using the blue fire mask. "Nothing we couldn't handle." Dominic smiled. "Wow you know when I said you'd get the chance to prove yourself this wasn't what I meant but boy you did not disappoint." Zachariah commented. "Meaning?" Dominic asked. "Meaning that you can help Castiel with one of his missions." Zachariah informed her.
