I do not own Cardfight Vanguard, pretty sure Bushiroad owns that. I also do not own anything that this chapter may reference.
Chaos Breaker Dragon stood in front of the Kagero stronghold. "So this is where that lame red dragon that cut my head off lives." He cackled maniacally. "You should be sleeping now, so I think it's time I show you why you don't mess with me. Let's see how you like it when I have full control over your body!" He held a black with red outline halo in his hand. "You made a big fool out of me in my big debut, so now I'll take everything away from you and force you to join me!" He couldn't stop cackling as he broke a window in the castle. He jumped right in, intent on his mission to attach the black halo onto Overlord. "Blame your fate and the fact that you had to meet me." Chaos Breaker Dragon said, unable to stop laughing maniacally. He noticed he was in a long hallway, but that only meant that he can savor the moment up to the point that he would finally capture Overlord.
Chaos Breaker Dragon's walk eventually brought him towards a red being. "I found you!" Chaos Breaker Dragon cackled. He threw his black halo at the red being. The red being turned around, grabbed the halo, then crushed the halo in its hands. Chaos Breaker Dragon looked at the red being in confusion and realized he threw it at a red robot and not a red dragon. "Well whoops, that was the only one I brought." Chaos Breaker Dragon said sweat dropping. "I guess now it's time for a tactical retreat. Curse you red dragon and you red robot." Chaos Breaker Dragon turned around, ready to exit, when all of a sudden, the red being appeared in front of Chaos Breaker Dragon.
Up close, Chaos Breaker Dragon realized that the red being was not only on fire, but it had detached limbs. One of these limbs grabbed Chaos Breaker Dragon's arm. In an instant, Chaos Breaker Dragon's arm melted right off.
"That's . . . IMPOSSIBLE!" He screamed and backed away. Which in turn made the red being mad. The red being grabbed Chaos Breaker Dragon's other arm, and tore it off Chaos Breaker Dragon's body. "How strong can you be if you can rip off my arm so fast!?" Chaos Breaker Dragon whimpered, then in an instant, his legs melted into a pile of mush from the intense heat from the red being. He screamed as the red being grabbed what was left of his body. "It's going to be ok, it's going to be ok. Death isn't a big deal in this planet. No big deal. I'll come back to life in an instant after this." The red being grabbed Chaos Breaker Dragon's head, and began to burn Chaos Breaker Dragon till Chaos Breaker Dragon had nothing left. Chaos Breaker Dragon kept reassuring himself, but then realized, that this time . . . things were different. He felt his spirit burning into nothingness. He was expecting to enter Cray Heaven and revive at any moment but it just wasn't happening. He was dying for real. "I'm going to die? I'm going to die for real!? This . . . THIS CAN'T BE!" He screamed. He turned around to face the red being. "What . . . are you?"
The red being beeped and answered, "Heat Element, Magum."
Chaos Breaker Dragon could only let out one last scream as the final light in his life was extinguished. Chaos Breaker Dragon . . . was no more . . .
As Chaos Breaker Dragon died permanently, the stronghold began to ignite in a blaze.
Overlord and Dauntless ran down the hallway trying to find an exit. No matter where they looked, all the exits were covered in flames that were too hot even for them. Some exits were even caved over on. There was nothing the two dragons could do.
Eventually they came across what was left of Chaos Breaker Dragon's corpse. The two dragons were about to ignore the cybernetic mess, but then Dauntless noticed something off about the corpse. "Master, we need to leave!" Overlord shouted.
Dauntless bent over an examined Chaos Breaker Dragon's mutilated corpse. He ran his hand over what was left of the body, and he realized what happened. "This . . . this dragon was killed." Dauntless said.
"Death isn't a big deal." Overlord grunted. "It'll come back to life eventually."
Dauntless shook his head. "You haven't seen the things that I have seen." He stood up. "This planet of Cray, the rules of death weren't always the same." Dauntless began crying, "You don't know how many allies I've lost, how many faces that I remember that I couldn't save. This isn't the normal death that we're used to." Dauntless wailed, "It's the ancient death of the old days!" He roared, "This young dragon won't be able to come back to life anymore, he's gone forever!"
Overlord gasped at the thought that there existed a permanent death, but then he had bigger problems to worry about at the moment. He turned his eyes and numerous Heat Elementals appeared all around.
Dauntless, still sobbing, pointed at the Heat Elemental army. "You . . . are you the one that did this?" He pointed at the mess of a corpse. The Heat Elemental army all nodded. "You . . . you're a monster!" Dauntless shouted. "He was only a young dragonman!" He roared and charged at the Heat Elementals.
"Master!" Overlord shouted, and got into a pose for battle.
"Stay out of this boy!" Dauntless shouted, "I have experience with this type of battle, so I'll take revenge for this unfortunate young dragonman!" He roared as he broke a Heat Elemental's face with a punch. "Away with thee monster of the ancient times!" He roundhouse kicked another Heat Elemental.
One Heat Elemental lunged at Dauntless and grabbed Dauntless's hand. Dauntless grunted as this seemed like bad news.
Then Overlord jumped in and sliced the Heat Elemental's hand, then its head. "Boy!" Dauntless exclaimed. "I told you to stay back!"
"And leave you to die?" Overlord asked. "I wouldn't do that to my own master!" He stabbed a Heat Elemental then threw that Elemental towards another group. "I may not have any experience dealing with a permanent death in my life, but I've been zapped by a Vermillion Thunderbolt one too many times, so I think I know what it feels like to die permanently!" Overlord spun his sword in the air grabbed a Heat Elemental's head, bent the Heat Elemental down, and the falling sword stabbed the Heat Elemental through the head. "So don't try and act cool for revenge over someone you don't know. Because if you die, then I'll go through hell to find you and bring you back, just so I can kill you all over again, YOU GOT THAT!" Overlord struck another Heat Elemental.
"My boy, you are not one for speeches," Dauntless remarked, "But very well, if we die, we die together!"
"And we are NOT going to get killed by these pieces of scrap metal!" Overlord roared and blazed his way through.
Back at the Narukami town, Vermillion held in her hands a rifle. She carefully aimed the rifle at her target. She was intent on shooting down her target. She could not afford to miss this target. She pulled the trigger . . . and out popped the cork from her rifle, hitting the target of the Dragonic Overlord plushy that she wanted to get. "YES!" She squealed and she happily hugged her newly obtained plushy of her brother. She rubbed her cheeks on the stuffed toy, and she cooed in joy.
Crimson, who was at the same booth trying to get the same exact price, looked at Vermillion jealously, "Aren't you one happy dragon now." Crimson said coyly. She wasn't having the same luck as Vermillion when it came to hitting the targets and thus didn't win a single prize.
"Don't hate me because I'm good." Vermillion cackled.
Descendant, carrying a sleeping baby Strike, looked at the fact that Vermillion was so happy in obtaining the Overlord plushy, and had to ask, "I didn't think you would be the type to be so happy in getting a stuffed toy that looks like dad."
Vermillion paused and realized she was hugging the plushy out in public. Then, while blushing, she frantically came up with an explanation, "Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a toy of me!"
"That makes it even weirder." Descendant said while sweat dropping.
"Then if you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands!" Crimson squealed happily.
"NO!" Vermillion bellowed, making Crimson pout. "This is mine for me to keep!" Vermillion said while still holding onto the doll really tightly.
"Mom is quite overprotective of that." Descendant muttered while chuckling nervously.
Suddenly, Thunderstorm Dragoon's voice sounded, "Hey, what are you doing? Don't you know that its New Years? Stop, stop, AHHHHHHH!" A blood curdling scream sounded.
Vermillion's ears perked up and in an instant of increased perceptiveness, she looked the crowd and saw a Heat Elemental grabbing Thunderstorm Dragoon's arm, and looked as if Thunderstorm Dragoon's arm was being melted off. Vermillion quickly acted as she summoned her spear out of thin air. Her wings appeared and she flew towards the Heat Elemental. She dove down and impaled the spear into the Elemental's head, destroying it.
Thunderstorm Dragoon was saved but his arm was still in ruins. "Get him to a healer!" Vermillion ordered. A couple of Narukami troops came out to carry Thunderstorm Dragoon away. Vermillion herself looked at the broken mess of the Elemental, "What is this thing anyway?" It didn't look Kagero, nor Nova Grappler, nor anything that she has ever seen on this planet. And the way it melted Thunderstorm Dragoon's arm . . . that was not something any of the clans of Cray could do. It was almost unnatural.
As she was thinking, another Heat Elemental jumped behind her, ready to grab her. "VERMY!" Crimson shouted and threw her spear at the Heat Elemental's arm before it could touch Vermillion. Crimson flew over and grabbed her spear, slashing the Heat Elemental's head off. "What's going on?" Crimson asked, "I thought the truce should be in effect by now."
"I thought so too." Vermillion said. "But these things almost seem like . . ." She then looked outward and saw a bunch of Heat Elementals standing in a row. "These things . . . they're not friendly." Vermillion gasped. These things weren't going to leave the crowd alone. Vermillion knew she had to quickly act if she was going to save everyone at the party. But she won't be able to do it alone. "Everyone who can fight, take up your weapons and prepare for battle!" She ordered. "It may be New Years and the truce should be in effect but we got a new enemy on our hand!"
At first the Narukami troops were confused, but after many of them saw the shape that Thunderstorm Dragoon was in, all of them roared and pulled their weapons from thin air.
"Anyone who can't fight, retreat!" Vermillion ordered.
Descendant quickly handed the still sleeping baby Strike to Old Dragon Mage. "Get to safety Great Grandpa." Descendant said and, once transformed into his real form, flew towards Vermillion.
"And you Kagero, you're going to help as well!" Vermillion shouted.
A Dragon Armored Knight then had to ask, "Why should we be helping you?"
Vermillion held up her Overlord plushy, then said, "Because Overlord says so!" She said with a squeaky voice, as if trying to make the Plushy talk.
The Kagero troops sweat dropped, "Well there's no doubt she's Overlord's sister." Nehalem commented about Vermillion's goofiness. He pulled his spear out of thin air, "But if the Narukami lives are in danger, then so are ours."
Garp even quickly changed into his clothes and pulled out his guns, "Time to get your guns on boys, we're going to battle!" The Kagero troops all roared.
The Heat Elementals all beeped and began charging towards the town.
"Also, don't any of you let these things touch you!" Vermillion ordered. "Finally, DON'T DIE!" She then clipped the Overlord plushy on her belt, petted the head for good luck, and both she and Crimson transformed into their real forms. The Elementals neared the town, and the battle began.
Elsewhere in the Magallanica, the Heat Elementals were surrounding the Aqua Force and Granblue pirates. "What's the point of a truce if there are people who won't follow it!" Captain Nightmist growled.
"Whatever's going on, these things won't let us go easily." Tetra Drive Dragon said, his back pressing against Captain Nightmist's back.
Suddenly, Maelstrom stood up.
The Heat Elementals beeped, and all of them lunged at the two clans.
"Prepare for battle boys!" Maelstrom, usually the one who sleeps all day even when he is awake, spoke his first coherent order in ages, surprising Tetra Drive Dragon. "Aqua Force, Granblue, WORK TOGETHER!"
"We don't take orders from you!" Commodore Blueblood shouted, only to be pushed away by Captain Nightmist.
"You heard the dragonman boys, CHARGE!" Captain Nightmist roared and both clans ran to meet their enemies head to head.
Tetra Drive Dragon on the other hand was still quite surprised. "This must be pretty serious if Maelstrom of all people woke up." He said, then fired a blast from his cannons. "It's my duty to follow up!" Tetra Drive Dragon bellowed and charged towards battle.
At the Star Gate, Great Daiyusha and Daikaiser fought the Heat Elementals that appeared in their city. "Some New Years huh!?" Daikaiser growled and punched a Heat Elementals face. "The day when Justice can relax, and these things just come out of nowhere and start wreaking havoc!"
"Justice never sleeps!" Great Daiyusha roared as he slashed a Heat Elemental. "Therefore, this should not be a problem!"
Mr. Invincible dove in, "HAHAHA! Need help, Dimensional Robos!" He shouted and kicked a Heat Elemental.
"Invincible!" Great Daiyusha shouted, "You should retreat, I do not think these things are normal. Your Nova Grapple skills won't help here!"
"Nonsense!" Mr. Invincible chortled and roundhouse kicked a Heat Elemental. "I have nothing to worry about, for I am INVINCIBLE!" He chortled, then realized his cape was on fire. "Impossible, no one can burn my INVINCIBLE cape!"
"Then you better be careful you blue oaf!" Chaos Breaker Dragon's voice sounded, getting the attention of the two Dimensional Robos and Invincible. The three turned, and found a white dragon with purple wings being encircled by man black with red outline rings. This was Nebula Lord Dragon of the Link Joker clan. In its hand was a tiny laptop that had Chaos Breaker Dragon's face on screen.
"What happened to you?" Daikaiser asked the laptop.
"I died, that's what." Chaos Breaker Dragon said. "But not the type of death you people are used to, I really died!" Chaos Breaker Dragon motioned its head to try to point at the Heat Elementals. "If those things touch you and kill you, you're gone forever, so you better be careful!"
"But you're still alive aren't you?" Invincible asked.
"Nah," Great Daiyusha shook his head, "He's a Cyber Dragon, so he's probably like us Dimensional Robos. We have back up of our memories in case any of us don't make it back from a mission."
"And you said back ups were pointless on this planet." Nebula Lord Dragon said to its leader. "You're lucky I kept our memories backed up or else you would've been gone forever."
"SHUT UP!" Chaos Breaker Dragon roared at his subordinate. "But in any case, I think it's time to take up on the truce of Planet Cray, and fight together!"
"But why?" Great Daiyusha asked. "I would've thought you would allied yourself with these creatures instead."
"I want to take over this planet!" Chaos Breaker Dragon roared. "These things are out for destruction. I can't take over something that is destroyed! It's counterproductive. Plus one of them killed me so I want revenge."
Great Daiyusha shrugged. "Works for me. Let's work together, FOR JUSTICE!"
"You're joining me, not the other way around!" Chaos Breaker Dragon roared as Great Daiyusha charged towards battle. And then Chaos Breaker Dragon realized he didn't even have a body.
"So says the talking computer that can't even move an inch." Nebula Lord Dragon said sarcastically.
"Don't just stand there, upload me into a body so I can fight!" Chaos Breaker Dragon yelled.
"Hai, hai." Nebula Lord Dragon said, took out a mechanical body, and uploaded Chaos Breaker Dragon's mind into the body.
The body beeped and roared into life, "Now, let's see how you like it when I cut you up with my sword!" Chaos Breaker Dragon roared, then realized that . . . "Why do I have a sword?" Chaos Breaker Dragon looked at his body, then realized this wasn't his actual body. "What's going on!?" Chaos Breaker Dragon roared at Nebula Lord Dragon. "This is a body of our Innocent Blade Heartless units," Chaos Breaker Dragon wasn't a robot dragon, but rather a Chaos Breaker Roid. "Why am I not in one my actual bodies!?"
"I backed up our memories, not our bodies." Nebula Lord Dragon said. "It's not my fault you actually broke your body beyond recognition."
"Well then build me a new one!" Chaos Breaker Roid yelled. "And make it quick!"
"Impossible," Nebula Lord Dragon said shaking its head. "It'll take a while to rebuild your body." Then it pointed behind Chaos Breaker Roid to a Heat Elemental. "Oh by the way, I didn't back up your memory yet, so if you die, you die forever."
"AHH!" Chaos Breaker Roid screamed and turned around to cut the Heat Elemental behind it. "You're doing this on purpose to me, you're DEFINITELY doing this on purpose Nebula Lord!" Chaos Breaker Roid roared and in a berserk rage swung his sword wildly, cutting up a bunch of Heat Elementals that got in his way.
"I see you're ready to join the side of justice!" Great Daiyusha said. "That's a great Dimensional Robo body!"
"Looks good on you, HAHAHA!" Invincible chortled.
"SHUT UP!" Chaos Breaker Roid roared. He swung his sword and fired out black rings, "Lock, Lock, LOCK!" The Heat Elementals simply grabbed the rings and crushed them in their hands. "I HATE MY LIFE!"
"Then just die." Nebula Lord Dragon said nonchalantly.
"NO!" Chaos Breaker Roid roared.
At the spot where Alfred and his family were, Heat Elementals were flying in. Alfred and Mordred Phantom fought the Heat Elementals with their blades, while Phantom Blaster Lady, holding a sleeping baby Mordred, defended herself with her double sided lance.
"How can there be something that won't follow the truce!?" Alfred bellowed. "This is just unethical!"
"Nothing we can do, but make them KNEEL!" Mordred Phantom cackled and transformed into Dragruler Phantom. Father and future Son slashed everything that came their way.
The Heat Elementals decided to take a different approach and fired fireballs.
Phantom Blaster Lady, acting quickly, placed the sleeping baby Mordred on Dragruler Phantom's Pegasus's saddle. She held her lance with both hands and spun it in the air, creating a giant whirlwind that blew away the flames. "Don't even bother!" She shouted.
Alfred and Dragruler Phantom both crossed each other and sliced a Heat Elemental that was chasing the other. "There's no end to them!" Alfred shouted.
"Well, we got nothing to worry about, death is only just morbid thing to deal with." Dragruler Phantom said stabbing a Heat Elemental. "But I suppose it does hurt."
Then in an instant, all three were jumped on by many Heat Elementals. That was when, "PINPOINT BURST!" Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark both shouted.
A blast of white and black energy shot all the Heat Elementals.
Alfred and Phantom Blaster Lady turned to see Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark running over. "Lady Phantom Blaster, do not let these things touch you." Blaster Dark said.
"Why?" She asked.
"Word has gotten out that these thing's touch will really destroy your soul." Blaster Dark replied. "If they kill you, you will REALLY die."
"And that's bad." Blaster Blade replied.
Dragruler Phantom drooped, "Well that's BEYOND morbid." He remarked.
"In any case," Blaster Dark said throwing the Exiv armor to Alfred, "Percival and Aglovale say hi." Blaster Dark and Blaster Blade both dispersed and began slashing some Heat Elementals.
Alfred slipped into the Exiv Armor and pushed the red button on his chest, "This is AHHHHHH going to hurt GAHHHH but I see a reason to use this mode BWAHHHHHH!" He turned into his jet mode and began firing blasts of silver beams at the Heat Elementals. "I'm still going to have to give Percival and Aglovale a piece of my mind as to WHY this mode even exists!"
"If darling is going to transform, then I don't see why I need to be left out of the fun." Phantom Blaster Lady remarked, then transformed into her real Phantom Blaster Dragon form. "Come at me you monsters!" She roared in the very deep masculine voice of Phantom Blaster Dragon.
Blaster Blade sliced a Heat Elemental in half, "And this is for ruining my date!" He cried, "And it was so good being able to stare at Nemain."
Blaster Dark slapped the back of Blaster Blade's head. "Nemain was my date you dope!" Blaster Dark roared, then noticed that there were too many Heat Elementals to deal with just the two of them in their current state. "I think it's time we do 'that'."
Blaster Blade nodded, and then the two did their specific dance towards each other, "FU SION HA!" They both shouted and in a flash of light, the two merged into one being, "Majesty Lord Blaster is here!" They said in unison within the one body.
If two Blasters won't work, then one Majestic Blaster can do that job.
Majesty Lord Blaster ran around slashing the Heat Elementals, not giving them enough time to fight back.
Alfred turned back from jet mode and dove his sword into a Heat Elemental. "There may be no end to this, but I'm not giving up!"
Elsewhere in the United Kingdom, the Royal, Shadow, and Gold Paladins all charged at the incoming Heat Elementals. Unfortunately, without their leaders, the three armies were completely out of synch and that in turn made it much harder to fight the enemy.
Percival and Aglovale already warned the three armies of what would happened if they let a Heat Elemental touch them, but they found it difficult to battle the Elementals even with that information. "This isn't good." Percival said, to which Aglovale nodded. "We could really use Alfred's help right about now."
And if they ask, so shall they receive. A giant beam from the Monarch Sanctuary armor razed through a row of Heat Elementals.
They were getting help from Alfred . . . the clone. However, even if he's a clone, he's still a figurehead for the Royal and Gold Paladins. With his appearance, the two armies got their act together, which in turned inspired the Shadow Paladins to also work together.
As clone Alfred walked onto the battlefield, someone else also walks beside him. Blaster Blade Liberator has arrived.
"Yes, that is the answer." Percival said. "As the perfect clone, he'll make the perfect soldier to fight these things."
Blaster Blade Liberator snarled at the Heat Elementals, drew his sword, and charged at the army.
Back at the Magallanica, the Aqua Force and Granblue were fighting recklessly against the Heat Elementals. Neither clan knew of the danger of the Heat Elementals touch, so neither clan cared.
That recklessness would not bode well when a Heat Elemental jumped towards Captain Nightmist. Luckily for Captain Nightmist, he was standing next to the ocean, and from that ocean, Riviere jumped out and slammed the Elemental with her tail fin.
The Heat Elemental went flying as Riviere landed on the shore with her fins turning into legs. "You got to be careful there Captain." Riviere said teasingly. "If you let these things touch you, you're going to be in a world of hurt."
Captain Nightmist huffed, "That's not likely to happen, we're undead pirates! Nothing can kill us!"
"Except they can." Riviere said chuckling with an evil look on her face. "Word is that Chaos Breaker Dragon got killed by one of these things. And by kill, I mean he died permanently."
"HUZZAH!" Tetra Drive Dragon cheered. "He's gone!"
"Oh don't worry about that though, apparently he's ok due to some sort of back up or something like that." Riviere said.
"Boo . . ." Tetra Drive Dragon slumped.
"So anyway, just don't let these things touch you." Riviere said, then a bunch of Bermuda Triangle idols jumped out of the water. "We'll be here to help." Riviere said innocently.
"Three clans vs an army of these things." Captain Nightmist cracked his knuckles. "No deaths allowed for us . . . this is going to be fun." He chuckled maniacally and Riviere did the same.
"You two somehow managed to become creepy in a couple of seconds." Tetra Drive Dragon muttered.
All across Cray, the clans within the nations all came together to fight off the invading Elementals. In the Dark Zone, the Spike Brothers were the first line of defense, and made sure the Heat Elementals would not come near anyone. The Dark Irregulars used every dark arts in their books to destroy the Heat Elementals. The Pale Moon fought to support both clans with their deadly circus acts.
In the Zoo nation, the Neo Nectar were the first to get attacked, but they stood in defiance and held off the Elementals long enough for the Great Nature and Megacolony to come together to help. The Great Nature had the easiest time out of the three clans due to their aggressiveness against the Heat Elementals. The Megacolony helped by using their stunning skills to keep the Heat Elementals in place.
No clan held back, for Cray was their home (and target for invasion) and if permanent death was on the line, they weren't going to let it happen. Even if some of them hated each other, even if they only make enemies, permanent death is not anything they wish upon each other.
Back in the Kagero castle, Overlord and Dauntless were just about warn out as more and more Heat Elementals appeared. "There's just no end to this." Overlord grunted.
"Keep at it boy." Dauntless said. "We can't afford to let our guard down at all." He got into his battle stance, "Boy, remember that technique I taught you?"
"You got to be more specific about that." Overlord said while panting, "You've taught me a bunch of different techniques, especially ones in which I flip up skirts."
"I didn't teach you that on purpose and you know it!" Dauntless bellowed. "I mean the one where you and I fight together."
"The one where we alternate attacks?" Overlord asked.
Dauntless nodded. "It'll help us out since we're both really tired right now."
Overlord held his sword at the ready. "Well if you think so, we might as well try!" He ran in first. "You better follow up on this!" He sliced a Heat Elemental.
A Heat Elemental fired a blast at Overlord, to which Dauntless who jumped over Overlord blew away with his wings. Dauntless in turn kicked that Elemental on the head.
Overlord ran to the side of Dauntless and slashed the next Elemental. Dauntless punched the one after. Overlord impaled the next and Dauntless roundhouse kicked the next. Eventually the two began to ignite as they kept up these attacks.
"UNLIMITED BREAK RIDES!" The two announced and kept striking over and over again, their flames getting hotter and hotter till it matched even that of the Heat Elementals. The two dragons were stronger than the Heat Elementals and there was no stopping the master student pair.
At the Narukami town, the two Dragon Empire armies were able to hold the Elementals back but at the price of many major injuries. Healers did their jobs as best they could heal the injure, but the attacks from the Elementals were too powerful for even the healers, so all they could do was patch up the troops and hoped for the best.
However Thunderstorm Dragoon was in the worse shape since he was grabbed for so long. His arm looked as if it was about to melt right off his body. There was nothing the healers could do . . .
But then Chrono Jet Dragon stepped forward. He knelt down next to Thunderstorm Dragoon and held out a hand. From Chrono Jet Dragon's hand, a green light appeared. The melt process on Thunderstorm Dragoon's hand appeared to be going backward . . . as if going back in time. Eventually Thunderstorm Dragoon's hand was as good as new. "Thank you." He said to Chrono Jet Dragon.
Chrono Jet Dragon nodded, then flew into the air. He held out his hands and created a green aura around the battlefield. All the injuries from the soldiers began to heal as their injuries went back in time. Descendant himself knew what was going on, "He's rewinding time." Descendant said. "And here I thought all he was good for was for punching and kicking."
This time reversal gave the two Dragon Empire clans an advantage over the Elementals. With the time reversal in place, the Elementals could no longer hurt any of the troops, and the troops would destroy the Elementals as they came.
Crimson and Vermillion stood together and together summoned storm clouds into the sky, "Everlasting Infinite Crimson!" Crimson announced and transferred energy into Vermillion's body.
"VERMILLION THUNDERBOLT!" Vermillion announced and fired down lightning towards the Heat Elementals.
Down below, Big Bang Knuckle Dragon and Big Bang Slash Dragon both bashed their way through the Elementals, "We won't let them overshadow us here ORA!" They shouted as they smashed some heads.
Descendant swung his sword at an Elemental. The Elemental grabbed Descendant's sword stopping his slash. But then, Descendant ignited his sword with lightning and magma blasted around him, "If you stop me once, I'll only come again harder!" He roared as he pulled his sword out of the Elemental's hand and sliced the waist of the Elemental.
The remaining Elementals attempted to fire at the troops, but then found their bodies rusting.
While time was rewinding for the dragon empire troops, time was going forward for the Elementals. Chrono Jet Dragon was forcing the Elementals to rust into nothingness. This was the deciding factor in the battle. The Elementals were losing, and there was nothing they could do.
Overlord roared as he swung his sword at one more Heat Elemental, but that Elemental grabbed Overlord's blade. "Wha!" Despite the fact that Overlord and Dauntless became a blazing fireball that should've blasted through all the Heat Elementals, this one managed to stop Overlord.
That specific Elemental beeped and looked at Overlord. "Found you . . . red dragon." It then punched Overlord into a wall.
Overlord gagged when he impacted.
"Boy!" Dauntless shouted, and tried to punch the Elemental. The Elemental spun around and dodged. It then kicked Dauntless into another wall. "OOF!"
The Elemental walked over to Overlord and grabbed Overlord by the neck. "You're the one who managed to beat Blizza." This Elemental said with a mechanical voice. "For that, you must die."
"Let me guess, all this was just so you could get to me huh?" Overlord growled. "I would've preferred it if you actually went to me directly." He ran towards that specific Elemental and swung his sword in an attempt to behead the Elemental. The Elemental dodged and struck Overlord's back.
"Boy, you need to get back!" Dauntless lunged towards the Elemental and held the Elemental in place. "I'm an old man who has lived out the fair share of his life. You're still a young leader of a clan. You can't afford to die!" Dauntless was then blasted backwards by the Elemental.
"Don't order me around!" Overlord growled, grabbing his master by the arm. "That thing is looking for me, and me only. You don't need to get involved!" He then threw Dauntless far away.
"Boy, what are you doing!?" Dauntless shouted, tried to run to Overlord, but then a rig of flames appeared around Overlord and the Elemental, keeping Dauntless from getting over to his student.
"Just go." Overlord said while panting heavily. "Find an exit, and leave this place." He held his sword at the ready, "I don't want you to die just because of me."
Dauntless wanted to disagree. He wanted to retort. But even if he does, the flame were too hot for him to pass. There was nothing he could do, but follow Overlord's orders. "Fine then boy, but I expect us to be able to talk again once all this is over!" Dauntless then ran off.
Overlord panted heavily and said, "Let the old man go. This is just a fight between you and me."
"Very well." The Elemental beeped. "Then prepare to be executed."
"You have no say when it is THE END for me!" Overlord roared and then in a burst of flames, he grew an extra pair of arms and armor flew onto his body. His sword split into two different swords and guns flew into his extra pair of arms. Overlord opened fire at the Elemental, but the Elemental simply dodged.
"Such trifle attacks will never be able to hit me." It said. It flew up to Overlord's face and bashed Overlord across the walls of the castle, all the way back into the main chamber. "You should know when to give up and accept your fate."
"Never." Overlord growled and lunged at the Elemental.
The Narukami and Kagero cheered as the Elementals were all taken care of. "We did it!" Crimson squealed and hugged Vermillion.
"Yeah." Vermillion chuckled breathed a sigh of relief.
Until Dauntless came limping over. "Vermillion . . ." He gasped, before he dropped onto his knees, tired from the battle and his flight to the Narukami town, "Please, where are you?"
"What?" Vermillion ran over to Dauntless, "What is it?"
"Your brother . . . that fool left himself alone in the castle." Dauntless pointed at the direction of the Kagero stronghold. "He's fighting an impossible to beat enemy. He needs your help now!" He pleaded. "Please don't let my student die!"
Vermillion gasped and looked in that direction. She nodded, and flew off towards the castle.
But as she flew off, more and more Heat Elementals appeared.
"No, that can't be." Nehalem grunted. "How can there be more!?"
Dauntless tried standing up, but he had no more energy left. "This is not going to bode well . . ." He mumbled.
Then Chrono Jet Dragon flew in front of Dauntless, and fast forwarded time for the arriving Heat Elementals. He then looked at Dauntless, held out a hand, and revitalized Dauntless by turning back the clock for Dauntless . . . so much so Dauntless felt his body becoming younger!
Dauntless turned into a human form, touched his human face, and realized that without any wrinkles on his face that yes, he WAS younger.
He looked at Chrono Jet Dragon, to which Chrono Jet Dragon gave a thumbs up. "This is probably going to be temporary right?" Dauntless asked to which Chrono Jet Dragon nodded. Dauntless chuckled and cracked his knuckles, "Well, even so, I suppose I should see this as a blessing." Dauntless stood up and roared at the Heat Elementals as he transformed back into his real form. "I should warn all of you, I was quite the monster when I was young!"
The battle was far from over . . .
Overlord got thrown into a wall and he lost the form that he just took. He fell to the floor and grunted as he tried to get up. Overlord used his sword to get himself up, but then the Heat Elemental kicked Overlord away from the sword. Overlord gagged as he rolled on the floor. He coughed out a large pool of blood. The Heat Elemental walked forward and grabbed Overlord's neck once more.
The Heat Elemental raised Overlord from the ground, and all Overlord could do was let out tiny gasps of air. "The moment your life is forfeit, I want you to remember the name Magum as the one who you sinned against." Magum's hand ignited. "Now die . . ."
"VERMILLION THUNDERBOLT!" Vermillion's shout sounded as she shot lightning through all the windows of the castle, all directed towards Magum.
The thunderbolts all converged on the spot and zapped Magum at the same time. Magum roared in pain, then disappeared with a poof, along with the flames around the castle.
Vermillion then dove through a window to get into the main chambers, "Overlord!" She yelled, and then found her brother's human form lying on the ground, all bloodied and beaten. She landed, transformed into her human form, and ran to her brother, "Overlord!" She screamed and held his head.
Overlord, letting out a weak gasp, opened his eyes to see his sister. He smiled and weakly said, "Kind of strange to see you being all worried about me."
"You idiot, of course I'd be worried about you." Vermillion said as tears welled up in her eyes. "What happened to you?" She sobbed.
"I got beaten up pretty badly." Overlord said trying to laugh. "Pretty pathetic right?"
"As long as you're ok." Vermillion said. "I wouldn't know what I would do if you were killed-" Suddenly, a blade pierced through her chest . . . the blade of Overlord's sword.
Overlord's eyes widened in distress as he saw that blade impale his sister. Vermillion let out a gasp and coughed out blood. Vermillion was then lifted into the air . . . by Magum who held Overlord's sword.
With Magum's reappearance, the castle ignited again.
Vermillion gasped and coughed out another pool of blood. She grabbed the sword, as if trying to push it out of her body, but she didn't have the strength to even hold onto the blade. In turn, Magum kept moving the sword, piercing Vermillion over and over again, making her cough out more blood.
"You're in the way." Magum said. "Die."
This was just like how Overlord saw it. Vermillion being stabbed by his sword. It was just like his vision. His sister was dying . . .
Vermillion felt the last of her breath, the last of her heart beat rushed as it got louder and louder. With her willpower she tried to live as long as she could . . . but eventually death's cold embrace came over her.
As her spirit left her body, Magum began to extinguish the astral projection. Vermillion's spirit looked at her brother and Overlord looked at his sister's spirit. They tried to grab each other's hand, but eventually Vermillion's hand disintegrated.
Tears flowed down Overlord's eyes, "No . . ." He gritted his teeth in anger, "No," He roared, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Overlord had enough and screamed, blasting a red light from his body through the roof to the sky. His wounds healed, a fiery halo appeared behind his back, and he stood up, wailing as tears dripped down his bright yellow eyes. "Let go of my sister, YOU MONSTER!" Overlord roared.
The light that he shot off blasted a hole in the sky. A hole that Descendant could recognize, "That's . . . a portal through time." Descendant gasped. "And that light . . . is my dad achieving some sort of crossover!?"
From the portal, the weapons that Overlord was just using in his The End form flew out. Back where Overlord was, his body glowed bright as golden armor appeared all around his body. The flames that Magum ignited Overlord's castle with was then put out, and replaced by Overlord's flames.
With a growl, Overlord dashed towards Magum, and threw a blazing punch that shattered Magum's hand to pieces. Vermillion's spirit then flew back into her physical body.
Overlord grabbed his sister's corpse, pulled his sword out, and held his sister's body as he raised into the air.
Vermillion's chest wound healed, and she opened her eyes to see her brother in his majestic golden glory. "O . . . Overlord?" She gasped.
Overlord's eyes glowed brightly as he glared at Magum. The sword of apocalypse that had a regular blade ignited into a flaming sword all from the blade to the hilt. As the sword finished its transformation, Overlord's other weapons flew towards him and began orbiting around him.
Magum grunted and looked at the newly transformed Overlord. "Interesting," Magum said, "I thought you ability to stop time for one second was simply a joke. I didn't think you had the power to cross through time and space."
"It is a joke." Overlord sternly replied as he landed on the ground, setting his newly revived sister to the floor. "Time only freezes because of how dumb I look when I do that thing," He said referring to his ability to time freeze by doing his Moe Moe Kyun thing. "However what I do know is that I don't know what's going on right now, but I'm going to defeat you anyway!" He transformed into his dragon form. "You may call me, Dragonic Overlord . . . THE XROSS!" He grabbed his orbiting pistol and opened fire on Magum.
Magum dodged by skating around and charged up to Overlord. Magum was about to blast Overlord with a flaming fist, but Overlord's orbiting two swords slashed Magum.
Vermillion rolled to the side to avoid the battle, and all she could do was gasp in awe at Overlord at this moment. She had never seen such power before, not from Overlord, not from any other unit in this world. Overlord was truly in a league of his own at this moment.
Overlord threw his pistol, it orbiting around Overlord again, and he grabbed his cannon launcher. Magum bashed the orbiting swords around it and found the launcher's barrel being pointed at its head. "Die." Overlord said and pulled the trigger.
Magum took the shot at point blank range, breaking part of its face.
Overlord flew towards Magum, gripped his sword with his mouth, and grabbed his two orbiting swords with his hands. Overlord roared and slashed Magum with the two swords. First the right, then the left, then the sword in his mouth. His succession of slashes cracked through Magum's armor. Eventually Overlord stabbed his two swords through Magum's chest. "Let's see how you like it!" Overlord roared, his wings igniting. He then flew through his ceiling, bringing Magum higher and higher into the air.
Overlord then grabbed the sword in his mouth with his right hand, and began cutting Magum up the higher they flew. Eventually Overlord flew past Cray's atmosphere and into space, leaving Magum to float.
"You fool, even if you leave me out in the solar system, I'll just fly back to Cray!" Magum shouted.
"Then we can't have that happen." Overlord said, holding his Sword of the Apocalypse with his two hands. His cannon launcher then flew and inserted itself into Overlord's blade. The pistol combined with the launcher to create a second handle. Then Overlord's other two swords flew into the launcher's barrel, formed together, and made a blade. Overlord roared as flames entered into the newly combined weapon, and the two front swords turned into a giant flaming blade. "This is the end for you!" He swung his giant sword, slicing Magum, and brought Magum back into Cray. "Eternal Apocalypse . . . XROSS!" Overlord announced.
Both of them began burning upon reentry into the atmosphere. Overlord ignored the heat, but Magum, who had previously be able to control flames that could even burn up the strongest of the Kagero, was feeling the full effects. Its mechanical body peeled apart from both the reentry and the cut. Overlord roared and slammed Magun into the ground in front of his castle, the giant sword disintegrating once finished.
Overlord panted heavily, his extra weapons disappeared, his golden armor turning into ash, and his sword turning back into normal. He fell to his knee, sweat dripping from his face. "It's over." He said. "It's finally over." He smiled and looked up, only to have to turn that smile upside down.
Magun's parts were scattered all over the place, but in Magun's place, now stood an angelic white creature. On its shoulders were two planets, one of Cray, and the other of the planet that is known only as Earth. It had long platinum colored hair, and in its hand, it held a stylized staff. "You're pretty impressive, being able to destroy my outer armor like that." The new white creature said.
"What . . . what are you?" Overlord could only gasp out.
"I am what you may call, a neon messiah." The new creature said. "I am the one who will bring this world into harmony and regenerate it from what it has become. I will bring upon a revitalization that will usher in a new age." The new creature's eyes shined, "I am the Harmonics Messiah."
"Harmony? Regeneration?" Overlord growled, "Then why do you have the power to end our lives!"
"Your world . . . it is disgusting." Harmonics Messiah said. "All of you, constantly fighting each other, messing around, destroying the world. All because of some asinine reason that none of you even know about. There is no harmony, only disarray." Harmonics Messiah pointed its staff at Overlord. "And you . . . you have the power to stop me. Your ability to cross over time and space and obtain that form you used, your ability to defeat one of my own, your ability to break my outer armor. All of it just means that before I can cleanse this world, I must rid it of you first." It said right as a thunderbolt flew at it.
"Just try it then!" Vermillion in her real form shouted and fired another stream of lightning.
"Vermillion!" Overlord bellowed. Vermillion flew down to Overlord and helped him get up. "Should you really be fighting right now?"
"Hey I came back to life didn't I?" Vermillion asked. "I don't see why I shouldn't be fighting."
"Very well." Harmonics Messiah said and beeped. "You two lovers can be together in death."
"WE'RE BROTHER AND SISTER!" Overlord and Vermillion roared as they blasted fire and lightning at the Messiah.
The Messiah simply slapped the elemental attacks away. "Such petty tricks will not work on me." It stepped forward, "Now let me show you what a real attack looks like." It held out its staff, charging platinum colored energy into the tip of the staff and then . . . "I . . . cannot move." The Harmonics Messiah turned its head, and found Chrono Jet Dragon holding his hands out. "You . . . you're a Gear Chronicle!"
Chrono Jet Dragon saluted, then swung his fist at Harmonics Messiah.
"I will not be stopped by such mere time stopping tricks!" Harmonics Messiah growled, got out of Chrono Jet Dragon's time stop, grabbed Chrono Jet Dragon's hand, and tore the arm off Chrono Jet Dragon's body.
However, Chrono Jet Dragon saw this coming, and began to kick Harmonics Messiah rapidly. After the first few hits, Harmonics Messiah met Chrono Jet Dragon's rapid fire kicks with rapid staff thrusts. The two were neck in neck, but ultimately Chrono Jet Dragon lost to the Messiah, and was blasted backwards.
But Chrono Jet Dragon had done its job. Its severed hand then gave a thumbs up to the two siblings.
Overlord and Vermillion roared, ignited their wings with fire and lightning respectively, then flew towards Harmonics Messiah. "THIS IS OUR PLANET!" They both roared. Overlord sliced Harmonics Messiah's right hand, and Vermillion sliced Harmonics Messiah's left hand. "YOU HAVE NO SAY WHETHER WE NEED TO BE CLEANSED OR NOT!" Then both siblings jammed their weapons into Harmonic Messiah's chest, pushed it into a tree, and then slashed its chest as they pulled their weapons out.
Harmonics Messiah roared in pain, and exploded in a platinum explosion.
Both siblings panted heavily, reverted to their human forms, and both of them fell to their knees. Overlord looked over towards the one arm Chrono Jet Dragon, and gave a thumbs up. "Thanks for the assist, time dragon." He said.
Chrono Jet Dragon gave a salute, grabbed his severed arm, and took off.
Vermillion panted, "I suppose you're right, it really is tiring to move after coming back to life." She said. "I don't know how the troops do it."
"Hey to be fair, the troops usually don't have to worry about dying forever." Overlord joked. "So you're a special case!" He cackled. Vermillion laughed with him.
And then . . . the Messiah's foot appeared from the smoke.
Both siblings gasped in horror when they saw Harmonics Messiah stepping out from the platinum explosion unscathed. Both siblings were out of juice. They spent the last of their energy during that last strike. It was over . . . there was nothing that could be done . . .
And then both arms of Harmonics Messiah dropped and fell to the ground. Harmonics Messiah dropped to its knee, and beeped. "Interesting." It said. "So it seems the planet has some very interesting beings." Harmonics Messiah then got up. "You have won this time. But know this. One day I will return, and finally destroy this world." Harmonics Messiah beeped again, creating a signal to every other Heat Element, Magum in the world to retreat. "Until then, I take my leave." Then Harmonics Messiah ominously said, "And maybe I won't have to come back if one of my other allies destroy you first." Harmonics Messiah flew into the sky alongside the rest of the surviving Heat Elementals towards space as they left the planet.
All across the planet, the units cheered as the Elementals left. They have won . . .
Dauntless reverted back to his old age and shrugged. "Well, with that all finished, let's party all night long!" He exclaimed. "This isn't just a New Years celebration anymore, this is a celebration towards victory!" All the other troops roared in agreement.
Overlord and Vermillion on the other hand, stared into the sky where Harmonics Messiah and the Magums all left. "It's over . . ." Overlord said, and he closed his eyes to fall asleep.
"OVERLORD!" Vermillion yelped as her sleeping brother brought her down to the ground. He was heavy and she didn't have the strength to lift him off of her. "You're going to catch a cold if you sleep out here." She said, only to be responded by Overlord's snore. Vermillion smiled and held onto her brother tightly. "I guess to prevent that . . . I'll just snuggle up to you." She looked her brother's sleeping face, then took the Overlord plushy at her waist and bopped Overlord's nose. "Good night Overlord." She said, and while holding her plushy tightly, fell asleep.
Elsewhere in the world, the mysterious young Blaster, while carrying a sleeping Blaster baby, looked up into the sky. "These Cray Elementals . . ." The young Blaster said, "They're going to be a lot more trouble than we thought."
"That's why we went back in time didn't we?" The young Blaster's canine mount said. "So we can seek out the solution to these Cray Elementals. Isn't that right . . . Blaster Blade."
The young Blaster that the canine mount called 'Blaster Blade' nodded. "Let's go Wingal." The seeking Blaster Blade said as he gave an order to his mount, Wingal. "It's time we find a way to stop these Cray Elementals!"
"Can't we do that tomorrow?" Wingal asked. "I mean it's pretty late now you know . . . you and I can follow your baby self's example and go to sleep."
The seeking Blaster Blade looked at Blaster baby, poked Blaster baby's cheek, then he nodded. "I suppose you got a point." He said then yawned, "I guess I'm feeling a bit tired now."
"Then good night Blaster Blade." Wingal said and he closed his eyes. "Don't let the bedbugs bite."
"We're not even sleeping in beds." The seeking Blaster Blade remarked.
"Don't get technical." Wingal grunted.
When the sun rose, Overlord himself opened his eyes, and found himself in bed. "Huh?" He looked around the room and didn't recognize where he was.
"You're finally awake." A familiar voice sounded and Overlord turned to find the golden hair babe (this time wearing a blue dress) that he met at the beach. "I was starting to think you wouldn't be waking up." Even though Overlord doesn't know the name of this woman, we ourselves know that she is named Soul Saver.
"That's pretty much what you said the last time we met." Overlord remarked. "What am I doing here anyway?"
"I found you outside your castle." Soul Saver said. "I wanted to bring you inside your own castle, but the place was a wreck, so I took you to my home."
Overlord chuckled nervously. "Thank you." He said. "It's a lovely home."
"In hindsight though," Soul Saver said, "I probably should've brought your companion along."
"My what?" Overlord asked, and then he felt the ground rumbling. "What's happening!?"
Then Vermillion in her human form barged into the room. "OVERLORD!" She screamed and pointed her spear at Overlord. "The one time I decided to sleep with you, and the next morning I find you with a United Sanctuary woman!" She bellowed.
"I may have left some clues as to where you were." Soul Saver said innocently and bopped her head.
"Have you no shame Overlord!" Vermillion bellowed.
Overlord on the other hand, was trying to process a certain sentence that Vermillion said. "Excuse me but did you say we slept together?" He asked.
"How scandalous." Soul Saver commented.
Vermillion blushed, then electricity appeared around her body, "DON'T TWIST MY WORDS YOU PERVERT!" She screamed (despite the fact that yes, she did say those exact same words) and electricity appeared around her spear.
"Wait a minute, remember the truce of Cray, remember the truce!" Overlord shouted.
"That doesn't matter now, you're going to die now you scum of a pervert!" Vermillion zapped her brother with her spear.
Overlord screamed and fell unconscious. Vermillion grabbed Overlord off of the bed, and bowed to Soul Saver. "I'll be off now." Vermillion said, then bolted off.
"Have a safe trip!" Soul Saver said waving goodbye.
And so the planet was safe. And the whole entire New Years went off without a hitch . . . minus a sister zapping her own brother. The clan units continued their celebration well into the night.
And then when it reached midnight?
. . .
Everybody began fighting again.
. . .
Ah Cray . . . never change. Even when a giant Messiah comes . . . all you have to do is fight back. For the units of Cray are strong. They will never bow down to any enemy, big or small. If the Messiah wants the planet, it'll have to wrestle it out of the units' cold dead hands, and none of the units have any plans of dying.
