Kamui stirred herself awake and opened her eyes. To her horror, she noticed she is back at her bedroom again but this time, not in Hoshido but in Nohr. She prays to Naga that her people in Hoshido are alright and her children were safe and sound. Just as she was about to get out of the bed, something forced her back. She looked behind her and noticed that her hands are chained to the bed. Frantic by the sight, she tries to free herself and even try to gnaw it off but with no avail. Why…why could Xander do such a thing? Is he a mad man? Speaking of the devil, the door to her bedroom opened and Xander walked in.
"Hello little princess"
"Don't little princess me..Xander…you have taken this way too far. Now I ask you to unhand me from these chains at once," Kamui said as she glared at him with anger.
"Heh heh. No can do my dear. I just wanted to be cautious so you won't…run away from my sight again," Xander replied as he sat next to her on the bed but Kamui moved away from him.
"Xander…why are you doing this? All because of me…..you took drastic measures for what? To capture me? To put me in chains…To attack my siblings…you..you even threatened to kill one of your own! YOU ARE WORST THAN KING GARON HIMSELF!" Suddenly, she felt cold hands on her face and she jerked to meet face to face at his cold, evil eyes.
"Don't you dare compare me to Father. I have bested him! I have gotten a lot stronger than him! I HAVE WON!" Xander exclaimed and he then pulled her face closer to his. "And you…you are mines…forever!" He forcefully pushed her on her back against the bed and he pinned her hands and leaned forward to kiss her on the lips.

We are almost there Camilla shouted as the party continues to pursue to the path of Nohr.
"I can't believe Kamui's kidnapped again. Xander has gone too far," Leo said.
"Well if it wasn't for you Nohrian scums, Kamui wouldn't be in this situation," Takumi added.
Leo glared at him while pulling out his tome, "You asking for a fight you Hosidian scum?!"
With that response, Takumi pulled out his bow, "Bring it! I am itching for another fight!"
"Guys, this isn't the time to fight," Elise begged.
"Yes..we don't have time with the quarrelling. Our main goal is to save Kamui and defeat Xander," Ryoma added.
"But…are we going to save Xander?" Elise asked in concern.
"Azura will use her powers to bring out the darkness from him. If fails…then we have no choice but to kill him.." Corrin said.
"I…I see…" Elise replied.
Suddenly, they heard Camilla's roar and they pursue forward. There they spotted her fighting over multiple dragons.
"Come on. We have to help her!" Corrin shouted as he transformed to his dragon form.
-v-
"Milord..it's seems that the people of Hoshido are heading this way. What are your orders?"
"I'll be out in a little bit," Xander responded as he gets up from Kamui's bed. Kamui lay back gasping for air. She never felt this afraid of Xander and she wishes that she will break out of these chains and escape. "It's seems that your friends are relentless. Allow me to deal with those parasites so we'll be together yet again."
"You are mad…" Kamui added. Suddenly, she felt a blow across her face and she felled back, looking at Xander in shock.
"I suggest you keep your mouth shut or you will find yourself unable to talk. Now..you sit here and be a good girl," Xander said as he heads for the door. To Kamui's surprise, she noticed a tear cascading down from his eyes. The moment the door closed, Kamui huddle herself and cried silently. Xander…I know you are in there…please…break away from the darkness. Suddenly, the door opened yet again and Kamui looked up, hoping that Xander doesn't return but to her surprise she noticed it was Pieri. Pieri walked up to her and with her key, she unhooked the chains from Kamui's hands. "Pieri…what are you.." But Pieri shut her up.
"Be quiet. Laslow is with Xander helping him prepare for battle. He wants me to get you out of here. Now follow me and be quiet or he'll have my head," Pieri said as she helps Kamui up.

"Phew, that's the last of those dragons," Hinoka said as she wipes her spear. Ryoma turned to Camilla and asked, "Hey…are you alright?"
Suddenly, Camilla reverts back to her human form and collapsed on the ground. "SISTER!" Leo and Elise shouted as they rushed up to her. Elise touched Camilla's forehead and gasped, "She is running a fever!"
Corrin walked up to them and grabbed Camilla's wrist. "Her pulse is weak. She used up majority of her strength when she was in her dragon form. We'll make camp here."
After setting up camp and eating dinner, the rest of the group went to their tents and felled asleep but Ryoma decided to take a stroll. He sat next to a nearby river and sighed. Gods..he never felt this determined to rescue Kamui. He can't wait for the battle to be over with and there will be no more conflict between Hoshido and Nohr. "Kamui…we are going to save you and soon…we will end this conflict between Hoshido and Nohr once and for all." Suddenly, he begins to hear some rustling and he quickly pulled out his weapon. Then, a wounded soldier stumbled forward and felled on his knees. The soldier looked up and sighed in relief, "Thank the gods I found you!"
"L..Laslow?!" Corrin shouted as he rushes up to him while Ryoma put away his weapon. "Why are you here? You look terrible!"
While Sakura rushes out of her tent and started healing his wounds, Laslow added, "I escaped from Nohr..Xander has gone insane."
-v-
"Milord! The Hoshidians are heading this way," one of the Nohrians reported.
Xander closed the door to Kamui's room and chuckled, "So those scums are trying to take Kamui yet again. Very well..I shall play their little games".
While Xander heads to the throne room, he spots Pieri and Laslow. "Guard Kamui's room. Make sure she doesn't escape." Pieri and Laslow nodded in response and head towards Kamui's room.
"Something is not right with milord.." Pieri said.
"What do you mean by that?" Laslow asked in concern.
"You can't be serious Laslow? Ever since Xander became king, many people in Nohr are suffering. Death has increased and he kept having wars against Hoshido," Pieri said.
"Not only that..King Garon was still healthy and would've become king longer. How did he give his throne to Xander earlier unless….." Laslow said but stopped as Pieri gasped into realization.
"L..Laslow…when I was heading for bed I spotted Xander heading towards King Garon's quarters with his Siegfried…"
"You don't mean…"
"Xander killed King Garon! Laslow, we got to get Kamui out of here!" Pieri exclaimed but Laslow shushed her.
"We can't let Xander hear us. Go ahead and take Kamui out of here while I talk with Xander.."Laslow said as he gives Pieri a dagger to pick Kamui's chains.
"No..you have to come with us," Pieri added.
"It's too dangerous. If he found out that we left our post, he'll kill us. I'll make a distraction. You go get Kamui!" Laslow said as he opened the door and pushed her in. Minutes later, the door opened yet again and Pieri plus Kamui got out. "Quickly, head towards the secret chambers. I'll distract Xander!"
"Please..be careful.." Kamui said as she follows Pieri. Laslow then heads towards the throne room and spots Xander sitting on his throne chair. The way he was looking at him like he noticed what happened but didn't want to reveal his true nature.
"Laslow..why are you here?" Xander asked.
"Milord…its those Hoshidians…they sent some ninjas and captured Kamui..We tried to stop them but they were too fast," Laslow lied, hoping that Xander will buy the story but Xander started to sneer.
"Really…that is strange because I don't remember seeing some ninjas in my kingdom," Xander responded.
"They were invisible so that is why we couldn't pursue them," Laslow added.
"I see…seize him" Suddenly, the doors opened and more Nohrian soldiers appeared and grabbed Laslow.
"Milord! Why are you doing this?!" Laslow asked in fear.
"You honestly think I will believe that nonsense story? I know you let Kamui escaped! Even Pieri helped her. An act of disobedience requires punishment." Xander gets up and pulled out a menacing dragonstone. The moment he breaks the dragonstone, his eyes turns crimson black and dark wings appeared behind his back. "Prepare yourself human!"
-v-
"The moment he attacked me I thought I was about to die but Lilith came in and saved me," Laslow said as he grunts in pain while Sakura continues to heal his wounds.
"I can't believe big brother will do such a thing," Elise said.
Ryoma gets up and pulled out his sword. "This has gone long enough! I will put a stop to this madness right now!" And with that, he stormed out of the camp site.
"Ryoma!" Corrin shouted as he and Azura runs after him.
"Ryoma! You cannot be serious! You can't fight Xander alone!" Corrin exclaimed.
"No! I will not just sit by and allow Xander to continue what he is doing! He needs to be stopped now!" Suddenly, he noticed a dark portal appeared and giant dragon hands emerged, grabbing Azura, Corrin, and Ryoma while pulling them in. Seconds later, they landed on the ground and Ryoma gasped. "By the gods! What was that?!"
"You said you are going to stop me you Hoshidian worm?!"
They turned around and spotted Xander at his throne seat but the way he looks, he looked more draconic and more evil. His armor has changed to more of a dragon like feature plus his castle is darker looking. "Xander! We are here to stop you!" Ryoma shouted as he pulled out his sword.
"heh heh. So first…how about a little 'gift' after your long travels?" Xander reached for a platter and lifted up the hood. Corrin and Azura gasped and Ryoma glared at him in rage. "No…" Corrin said as he felled onto his knees. Azura screamed and covered her eyes while Ryoma gripped onto his katana. "That is right..since you was so persistent in taking my Kamui..i decided to spare you the trouble so no one will have her!" He takes her dissembled head and tossed it on the floor while casting his fire magic and burning it. To Corrin's surprise, he noticed a golden light enveloped around Ryoma and his katana displayed a golden dragon picture.
"XANDER! YOU SHALL DIE! I WILL DEFEAT YOU AND I WILL AVENGE KAMUI'S DEATH!" Suddenly, the light went inside of Ryoma and illuminated the entire room. Corrin shielded his eyes and opened them slightly and gasped. He noticed a large golden dragon, like the dragon from the statue in Hoshido. Brother…you transformed into a dragon!
"Itching for a fight then? Very well…" Xander pulled out his dragonstone and breaks it, allowing the darkness to enter inside him and he transformed to his dragon form as well. "JUST TRY TO DEFEAT ME HUMAN!"
