Blood and SteelChapter 8

It's been eight hours after the attack from the Executioner Kurama had just woken up with only an aching headache. Flame on the other hand was not so lucky, he broken three ribs from having Ember thrown at him and hitting the side of a cliff. Kushina only had scrapes and bruises and a third degree burn on her back but thanks to the vest it could have been a lot worse.

Leaning against a tree Flame saw Kurama waking up rubbing his head "Glad to see that you're awake sleeping beauty." He said with a smile

"Well it's not easy to stay awake when you are used as a punching bag by a walking armory and beating the crap out of said armory. Trust me that is one thing I don't want to experience again." Said Kurama looking to his ruby scaled friend.

Slowly getting to his feet Flame helped Kurama up off the ground " Hey, being hit by a pink blur and straight into a cliff ain't no picnic either." Flame said pointing to his bandaged torso.

Making their way to the others only to see them around the fire. Looking around the camp Flame noticed two of their group were missing "Hey where is Rastaban And Leiks?" Flame asked

"They went hunting just left three minutes ago." Fury answered looking over to Kurama "How you feeling bro?"

"Aside from having my ass handed to me I'm good" Kurama replied with a smile behind his mask. Earning a laugh from Fury and Flame.

After a few minutes of silence Rastaban and Leiks came back with two bucks on each shoulder. Putting them down Rastaban took out a kunai and began cleaning his kills. While this was happening Cynder noticed that their was only one Shuriken in the deer next to her. Looking back at the other deer she saw they all had slit throats.

"Umm how did you kill these deer?" Cynder asked curiously looking at the deadly star in the last deer neck.

"Well we happened to be in a clearing and saw these big guys right here standing a ways off so I took one of my Shuriken and threw it so it could curve in the air killing four deer with one star." Rastaban told them with a grin on his face.

"Believe what he says he killed all four of them with one star and never make a bet with him in that category also." Leiks said getting a few raised eyebrows from her teammates.

Before the conversation they heard the sound of shuffling feet against the forest and out came one large Ape in black plated armor. "Well, well, well what do we have here I find eight dragons and two foxes." Looking at them the ape's eyes widened in realization that five of them were the ones destroying their forts for the past three years and here they all are injured from their fight with Executioner. "Ooh well at least I'll get rewarded for you five Malefor wants all five of your heads." The ape laughed with glee.

Having had enough of the ape Luna stood up but Cynder grabbed her arm and nodded over at an injured Kurama on his feet with a bored look on his face with the Sharingan activated. "Look we had a very long day so do us all a favor and leave I won't ask a second time." Kurama stated with a bored but deadly tone.

Instead of taking his advice the ape pressed on " And if I don't what are you going to do about it you can't barely lift a finger to fight me." It said with an amused look on its face.

Kurama after hearing this only activated his Mangekyou Sharingan when it finished only one word left his mouth "Tsukoyomi."

As if that one word made everything stop around Kurama and the large ape. Then everything vanished the eight dragons to the vixen they were all gone except Kurama as the world around them lost color and turned into a shade of gray and with the moon blood red. The ape was now pinned to a cross leaving a confused but terrified look on its face.

"Now let me welcome you to the world of Tsukoyomi." Kurama said walking around the cross but continued still keeping his stride. " In here I am god I control time and space." Kurama paused his walk in front of the ape looking him dead in the eyes. " You will spend the last 72 hours of your life in here with me." As Kurama said this upon thousands of clones of himself fazed into existence with Kunai in each of their hands. "And it will not be pleasant." As soon as Kurama finished that sentence a hail of kunai descended on the crucified ape. The ape seeing the deadly knives thrown at him looked on in fear as they came closer and closer to begin his 72 hours of torture in a world he considered hell.

In the real world everyone heard Kurama mutter something and in a second everything went silent except the fire that cackled in the night air until the large ape gave out a pained filled scream and fell over on the ground with a heavy thud and laid there not moving an inch. Kurama on the other hand deactivated his Sharingan and sat back down. After breaking out of her shock Cynder asked in a very confused voice.

"Umm what just happened?" Cynder said while looking at the dead corpse.

"It was an allusion I put him through making him think everything that happened to him was real causing him to die from heart attack." Kurama explained while helping Rastaban clean the deer next to him.

"What did he die from in your allusion?" Leiks asked wanting to know what happened to the ape.

"A continuing stream of kunai to non vital but painful parts of the body for 72 hours straight, and before you ask time flows differently in there than out here." Kurama said as he began on the last deer.

As soon as Kurama got done talking Fury and Spyro walked over to the dead ape and picked it up and began to walk away from the camp. Seeing this Cynder and Luna got up as well and began to follow the two brothers into the forest picking their speed up to walk in sync with them.

"What are you guys doing walking out in the woods with a dead ape on your shoulders. Are you two not worried about others seeing you?" Luna asked the brothers as they kept walking away from the camp keeping an eye out just incase another one came out the bushes or the trees.

"You don't have to worry about any apes coming out here to ambush us because this was the last one alive. Remember that fort I blew up yesterday?" Fury asked getting a nod from the two sisters in unison. "Well, the way he smells right now tells me he somehow managed to escape the blast but the smell of sulfur is on him even after being away from the fortress for a day." Fury said as the smell of sulfur ran into his nose.

"Alright this is far enough let's began digging the pit." Spyro said turning to his brother he asked, "You want to do it or should I?" asked Spyro getting a yes from his brother.

Fury after responding to his brother flew into the air and when he thought he was high enough folded his wings and spiraled down towards the ground giving the appearance of a gold drill falling from the sky. Upon hitting the ground Fury literally drilled a hole into the ground and kept going. After a few minutes Fury popped back up out of the ground with debris and dirt covering his entire body. After Fury popped out of the ground Spyro threw the dead ape off his shoulder with a grunt. Then in sync with one another Fury and Spyro blew fire into the whole to see it glow orange at the bottom signifying the ape was being burned.

Spreading their wings Spyro, Fury, Cynder, and Luna flew back to the camp at a steady speed taking their time to fly through the star filled sky in complete peace and serenity.

Looking below them Fury spotted something following them and upon looking closer it kind of looked like a "DREADWING!" Fury yelled out causing everyone to barrel roll out of the way except for fury as he shot out an ice spike hitting it in its shoulder but not crippling it wing just enough to annoy it. Flying up to avoid getting skewered by its claws as it flew under him giving Fury a clear shot to its exposed back. Fury opened his hand and let lightning charge through it and waited on the Dreadwing to turn around and come back. As Fury predicted it would it turned around and began flying toward him ready to charge him in midair before it could comprehend what Fury was doing he took his lighting arm and rammed it straight into its head.

After Fury's lightning fist hit the dreadwing's head it exploded upon contact sending blood and brain matter in every direction as the corpse descended from the sky and fell to the forest bellow. Fury who was now trying to get the blood off of him only to make it worse decided to find a near by pond or lake.

"You guys go ahead I'll catch up with you guys." Not giving them the chance to respond Fury set off to find a pond or any source of water to clean him up.

"Oh no you don't." said Luna turning towards Spyro and Cynder "I'm going to go keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't blow up the entire forest." Hearing no arguments about it she flew after Fury before he got to far away.

Not having to go far Fury found a clear pond that shined from the moonlight of the star filled sky. Thinking about everything that happened in the past two days Fury began taking his shirt off showing his golden-scaled back shining in the moonlight causing little gold dots to twinkle in his reflection as Fury began scrubbing the shirt free of blood as the water started to turn a little red as the blood was extracted from the shirt. Hearing the sound of wings flapping through the air Fury turned his head to Luna landing behind him.

Turning his attention back to scrubbing the shirt free of blood Fury said "Why is it that every time one of my friends or me go to a lake one of you goes with us? Hoping to get a good show like your friend Ember got from Flame or is it something else?" Fury said taking his shirt out of the water to dry.

"No I want to ask you something. Why do you do what you do? Not Personality wise no but what is your reason for fighting against Malefor why do you do this." Luna asked Fury not knowing she brought up memories best left alone.

Standing up Fury turned around and a voice holding back unimaginable rage "Have you ever watched someone that you care about die in front of you when you were just a child? Spyro and me had to watch as our father fought us as we escaped from Malefor when he barged in to our home and demanded for us to be given to that bastard." Fury said as the anger steadily rose " We left him there to be killed by that monster as he was gutted I can never forget the look on his face." Fury said as his rage reached his boiling point. "We could have did something we should have been able to stop him but we ran like cowards WE SHOULD HAVE STAYED AND FIGHT" When fury said this he turned around a completely punched a fist sized hole into a tree making it shudder.

While Fury removed his fist from the tree he felt something wrap around his waist. Looking down he found Luna's arms to be that something around his waist, but when he moved to remove them he felt something wet going down his back looking up Fury didn't see any rain until he heard sound of sobbing from behind him. Turning his head to see Luna crying into his back. Never expecting something like that to happen not knowing what to do Fury turned around in her hug without breaking it an hugged Luna back and began whispering words to her as she cried into his scaled chest tears flowing freely.

Luna felt him hug her and as she cried into Fury's chest as he tried his best to comfort her She took her head off his chest and, kept muttering "I'm sorry" in between sobs as he rocked her silently until her breathing calmed down. Looking down at Luna, Fury felt her breathing return to normal and she fell asleep during their intimate moment between them.

Using his tail to grab his shirt he picked the silver dragoness up bridle style Fury carried Luna back to the camp. In steady strides as to not wake her up Fury looked down to her face seeing the serenity in her expression Fury smiled behind his mask "Thank you Luna heh, who knew blessings come in disguise." Stopping at that thought "Wait, everybody knows that." Chuckling to himself making his chest vibrate against Luna's head causing her to snuggle into his chest.

After a few more minutes of walking Fury reached the camp to find everyone around the campfire. Looking at Fury with raised brows except Cynder who stood up and was about to beat the living hell out of Fury for touching her sister. Before Cynder could do any thing else Fury spoke before she killed him. "Don't worry I wouldn't do anything like that to her. Luna just passed out from exhaustion physical and emotionally I'm just going to take her to your tent so she can rest." Fury reassured her getting a nod from Cynder to go ahead.

After entering the tent Fury set her down on the in her set of blankets after taking her weapons off and set them beside her. When he was done Fury took one last look at Luna before he left the tent with a smile on his face.
