CHAPTER EIGHT

*Lake town, Valhalla*

Lake town, a town filled with happy children and races from the different realms around. However some were cautious of visiting Lake town because of the being that lies within the misty mountain, not too far from Lake town. This Mountain had a massive kingdom built into it by dwarves, however it was soon taken from the dwarves as a Dragon on par with a Dragon King arrived and stole the treasures for itself. This dragon had stolen the title of the dwarf king that once ruled this kingdom, King Under the Mountain was the title stolen from the king. This Dragon is named, Smaug.

A boy by the name of Hagrid was playing with his ball, while kicking it around he accidentally hit someone ahead. Hagrid ran to retrieve his ball, however the man whom he had hit picked it up. Hagrid arrived and stopped not too far from the man who had picked up his ball.

"I'm terribly sorry for hitting you sir!" Apologized Hagrid sincerely. The man saw the honest tone of his voice and decided to return the ball to its rightful owner. "Thank you!" Thanked Hagrid as he accepted his ball. The man then spoke to him. "Just make sure to watch where you kick it." Said the man with a deep voice, it was filled with hopelessness. "Mister? Are you a dwarf?" Asked the boy curiously. The Man then looked at the boy, observing him. "Indeed I am, how'd you figure it out?" Asked the Dwarf. "My mother said that dwarves are small even when they grow old!" Replied Hagrid. This made the dwarf smile, it seems that his kind wasn't forgotten.

"Did you live over there?" Asked Hagrid as he pointed towards the misty mountains. The dwarf looked at the direction the boy pointed at and saw the misty mountains. He then frowned as he indeed did live there, until Smaug had claimed it for himself. "Yeah, I lived there once upon a time." Replied The Dwarf as he was still frowning. "I'm sorry..." Apologized Hagrid as he saw the frown on the dwarves face. "It's alright, now tell me what's your name boy?" Asked the dwarf curiously. "Oh, my name is Hagrid! A human born in Valhalla!" Introduced Hagrid proudly. "Hahaha, My name is Thorin a dwarf born in Valhalla." Introduced Thorin happily.

The two then continued to chat about humans and dwarves, Hagrid had made friends with a dwarf. But Thorin was still fearful of Smaug, he desired to take back his mountain, little did he know that he would have a chance to take back what was his soon.

*Familiar Forest*

Issei had finished his meeting with the Future Foundation a few hours ago, but he was then called by an old friend of his to talk. Issei had arrived at the location specified to him, a certain cave in the Familiar Forest. When he entered it everything around him was pitch black, he then activated his Eradication Gear to produce some light. {ERADICATE!} Announced the Eradication Gear. There was now an orange light accompanying Issei as he explored the cave. However he felt a presence behind him and he turned to face it, he was however ambushed... Ambushed with a kiss, a good one too.

Issei recognized who this was and proceeded to return the kiss, the two had started making out and had been pushed back to a wall in the cave. "Mmmm..." Moaned the girl Issei was kissing. The two then separated, this disappointed the girl. "Awww, so soon?" Pouted the girl. "Heh, sorry. But why did you call me here Saphira?" Asked Issei, the girl Issei was making out with was revealed to be Saphira the Chaos Frost Dragon.

"Hmm? I just wanted to see you again, and perhaps join the team you've formed." Replied Saphira honestly. "Cataclysm? You sure you wanna join? Your sister is also a member, and I know all about your relationship with her." Said Issei. "I know that Tiamat is also a member of your team, but if the reward is being with you almost everyday than the suffering is worth it." Stated Saphira courageously. "Heh, alright then I'll let you join." Agreed Issei. "Ufufufu, thank you Issei." Thanked Saphira honestly.

The two dragons returned to the Headquarters of The Cataclysm. Since Raynare was on an errand for Oblivion, Issei had to show Saphira around the base. However, because of Saphira's quick and intelligent mind she was able to memorize every place and room Issei had introduced to her easily.

*Cataclysm HQ*

Issei had just finished showing Saphira around the base. Saphira was able to quickly memorize the places that Issei had introduced her to, this was due to her incredible intelligence and the rate at which her brain analyzes her surroundings, call it a talent if you may. However she was unable to meet any of the members as they were all either asleep or currently somewhere else, but as if fate knew it wanted Issei dead, a magic circle that had the color blue had appeared revealing a woman with blue hair and crystal clear eyes. It was Tiamat. '...Kill me...' Thought Issei as he was soon going to witness a battle between two sisters. "Hmm? It seems somebody has returned." Said Saphira as she saw the magic circle. However she then recognized the symbol, it was her sisters. "Che, why her?" Asked Saphira annoyed. "Hmm? Issei? Who is... This..." Stuttered Tiamat as she saw her sister standing beside Issei. "Sister..." Uttered Tiamat with hate. The two dragons looked at one another with hate and disgust, these two never got along. Issei now had his hand on his face as he was disappointed in himself. 'How? How could I have let this happen? In my own base no less!' Thought Issei hopelessly. {Heh, now you know what I had to deal with being in a relationship with Saphira.} Said Chroma amused. However another magic circle appeared, revealing Raynare. This relieved Issei as the battle would be postponed for now.

"Raynare, you're back! Did you get what Oblivion asked for?" Asked Issei, Relieved. "Indeed, This is the dark orb that Oblivion-sama had asked for" Replied Raynare as she handed Issei the dark orb. 'So, what does this do?' Asked Issei in his head. [That is something that will further increase your strength, you might need it for your upcoming battle with the Trihexa.] Stated Oblivion. 'So you're saying this will make me stronger? How?' Asked Issei once more. [That dark orb contains some affinity from me, if you absorb it into the Hooks you should be able to unlock what is basically the Balance breaker for the Deaths Embrace.] Explained Oblivion. 'Balance Breaker huh? Alright, I'll give it a shot.' Said Issei in his thoughts. Issei then summoned Deaths Embrace, surprising the three beings around him. "What are you doing?" Asked Tiamat curiously. "Obtaining a transformation!" Replied Issei as he ate the orb. This made Tiamat, Saphira and Raynare surprised as he ate the orb.

{WHAT THE HELL?!} Shouted Chroma in surprise at Issei's stupidity. [You idiot! That's not how you absorb the orb!] Scolded Oblivion. Issei then grabbed his stomach as his stomach was now hurting. Saphira was surprised at the sudden pain Issei was experiencing. "Issei! Are you alright?!" Asked Saphira worried, she then helped Issei up. "Hehehehe, damn this hurts!" Said Issei, showing his masochist side.

[Fool, you shouldn't have eaten it. But no matter, I have a method to get it out of you.] Reassured Oblivion. "Heh? How are you gonna remove something from my stomach?!" Asked Issei a little nervous. "Master, Please don't complain. If Oblivion has a method we must try it." Said Raynare a little irritated and worried. "Fine, what do I have to do?" Asked Issei. [Simple, I will transfer the power of the orb into the hooks myself. Then after that is done you must activate the Balance Breaker and phase through the orb.] Explained Oblivion. "Wait, can't I already do that with the normal hooks?" Asked Issei. "What Hooks are you talking about Issei?" Asked Tiamat Curiously. On cue Oblivion formed the hooks on Issei's hands. He then proceeded to absorb the power within the orb and transferred it into the hooks. Issei then widened his eyes as he felt his power of death increase gradually. "This power! Damn, this is more than I expected!" Said Issei surprised. [Now, you must chant something to activate the Balance Breaker.] Stated Oblivion.

"Chant? You mean like Juggernaut Drive? Why do I need to do that to activate the Balance breaker?" Asked Issei lazily. [Don't complain, and besides you only have to chant it once and then you can activate it anytime you want.] Replied Oblivion. [Now, repeat after me...] Said Oblivion, Issei then listened closely... He then nodded as he was ready to chant it. The others were surprised at how quick he was able to memorize the chant, but they didn't know how long it was so they couldn't judge yet.

"I... Am Issei Hyoudou, The Aspect Of Death. I, am the one who shall become the Reaper Of Souls. I mock the values of Life, and Haunt those who dream. I shall show you the true meaning of despair, and teach you the ways of Death. I, shall prove to you that No one Can Stop Death! ANGEL OF DEATH, CHAOS ARMOR!" Chanted Issei Hyoudou as he has finally become the Angel of Death. His armor had formed, it attached itself to Issei in the form of Mists, and morphed into the Chaos Armor, Angel Of Death. Issei was adorned with Black Robes and Armor, showing his dominance and control over Death.

"Issei? Are you still there?" Asked Saphira concerned. There was a long silence before Issei finally answered. "Yes..." Answered Issei, in this form however Issei had a trembling deep voice that would bring fear into anything that heard his voice. Saphira and Tiamat flinched at the voice of Issei, it was terrifying. Raynare however had gotten used to Issei's Power over Death, but it still had an effect on her as this new voice was just purely filled with terror and death. "Interesting, what a menacing voice..." Said Issei as he was impressed by his own voice.

Issei soon fell on his knees, this power was still new to him and he still needed some practice with the form. The Chaos armor then deactivated, while Issei was panting a lot. While the other three beings were about to help him, he managed to stand up on his own though. Suddenly a man with red crimson hair had appeared. "Heh, so you got stronger huh?" Asked the man. "Hoh? I didn't expect you to come Great Red." Said Issei.

"You realize I live here right?" Asked Great Red sarcastically. "Hehehe, true." Replied Issei. "But anyway, I know somebody who could be a good member for your team. Maybe even a sparring partner for your new form." Informed Great Red. "Hoh? Must be tough, who is he?" Asked Issei curiously. "Smaug, King under the mountain. He was able to steal a kingdom from the dwarves in Valhalla, he also has impenetrable skin, even tougher than mine." Replied Great Red honestly. "Alright, I'll just get some rest and I'll recruit this guy." Said Issei tired as he went inside the base. Saphira and Raynare soon followed him. Great Red soon left, while Tiamat had gone to her room to sleep.

*Lake Town, Valhalla

Thorin was walking on one of the pathways on Lake Town, until a bright Orange light had appeared in front of him. It revealed a man along with a blue haired beauty. "Who in the seven hells are you two?" Asked Thorin surprised. "Hmm? Is that a dwarf?" Asked Issei curiously. "Yes it is, they have a few of those over here in Valhalla." Replied Saphira as she inspected the dwarf. "Don't disrespect me! I am Thorin Oakenshield! Heir to the great Oakenshield Family." Boasted Thorin. "Oakenshield? Never heard of it." Said Issei. This made Thorin tighten his fists as he prepared to fight. Saphira then glared at him with her dragon eyes. Thorin flinched when he saw the glare of Saphira, her eyes were just like "his", They were the same as Smaug, King under the mountain. "N-No! Are you a dragon?!" Asked Thorin scared. "Hmm? How did you find out?" Asked Saphira in a cute voice. 'A dragon talking like that?! What type of dragons is she?!' Thought Thorin. "Alright enough kidding around, do you know where the King under the mountain is?" Asked Issei politely. "Why should I help a bunch of dragons?!" Asked Thorin loudly, causing some of the townspeople to look at them. "It seems this town has a bad history with our kind." Whispered Saphira to Issei. "Hmm, I see." Replied Issei.

Issei then told Saphira to revert to her Dragon Form, once she did all of the townspeople started screaming and panicking at the sight of a massive blue dragon with glowing violet eyes. Issei then created a strong barrier to prevent anybody from evacuating the area. Everyone was screaming and shouting thinking they were gonna die, even the mayor of the town had come outside and evacuated immediately.

Thorin was filled with fear and anger, he wanted to kill these dragons. He wanted to kill all dragons, but he thought that this was going to be the end for him and the people of Lake town. 'Poor Hagrid, I didn't want you to suffer such a terrible death.' Thought Thorin. Issei then flew up and announced himself. "You can stop panicking because we are not here to kill you!" Shouted Issei, getting the attention of the townspeople and stopping the riot. "We are simply here to ask for instructions! Do you know where the misty mountains are?!" Asked Issei while shouting. There was a gasp and a long silence afterward, people were whispering to each other about what could happen if they told him. "If we tell you, what will happen to us?" Asked an elderly man. "Hmm? You can go back to whatever you were doing of course!" Replied Issei honestly. All of the elders sensed the honesty in his voice, therefore one of them told him. "Over there!" Pointed an old man towards the mountains up north. "You should be able to see a small town over there, that's how you know you are close. Straight ahead from that town is the kingdom beneath the misty mountains. I must warn you, the King under the mountain lives there." Added the old man. "Hahaha, I know! I'm here to fight him." Said Issei, causing the townspeople to look at him as if he was insane. "But! That dragon has incredible strength and its skin is impenetrable! Are you sure you want to challenge it?" Asked the old man.

Issei then activated his Balance Breaker, this caused the townspeople to look at him in awe. {RAVAGING DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER!} Said the Eradication gear. Issei then said "Don't worry, you won't have to live in fear of Smaug ever again." The townspeople then looked at him with hope, they wanted him to finally end the dragon. However Thorin didn't trust him one bit. He decided he would follow the him to the kingdom he once was supposed to rule. "I will come with you!" Announced Thorin. "Hmm? Why would you do that dwarf?" Asked Issei curiously. "That kingdom is my home, I can't simply trust a dragon to take it back from another dragon. I shall come with you." Said Thorin with pride. "Alright, but we won't protect you. Our only priority is to speak with Smaug and get him away from here." Stated Issei. "What?! I thought you were going to kill him!" Shouted Thorin.

"Heh, I plan to fight him. Not kill him, it would be a waste of a powerful dragon." Replied Issei. This made the townspeople a little worried and Thorin very mad. Issei along with Saphira then flew towards the misty mountains, leaving Thorin behind. "They left me!" Said Thorin angrily. "Look, Thorin just let them do as they please. If what they do gets Smaug away then I'll be supporting them." Said another dwarf. Thorin looked on ahead and hoped that the two dragons would not backstab Lake town and its people.

*Misty Mountains, Valhalla*

Issei and Saphira were now at the entrance of the Kingdom that the Dragon Smaug had stolen from the Dwarves. "Smells like greed." Said Saphira. "This guy is just like Fafnir... This should be fun." Said Issei as he and Saphira stepped inside the kingdom. Once they had gotten inside further they had found massive amounts of gold and other worldly treasures. "Jeez, this guy is rich." Said Issei as he unleashed an attack that would get the dragon to come out. {DOWNFALL MASSACRE} Said the Eradication gear as the attack threw the gold and treasures everywhere and caused a massive explosion. "That did it." Said Saphira as both she and Issei saw an Orange dragon eye glow inside the smoke from the explosion. A loud growl was heard and very powerful fire was shot towards Issei and Saphira. Saphira dodged, while Issei just stood there trying to tank it. Once again his arrogance had gotten him hurt. Once the fire had stopped burning Issei he fell on his knees. 'Damn, I didn't expect that to hurt so much.' Thought Issei. Saphira then landed and defended Issei. Smaug saw the female dragon and was stunned by her beauty. He then asked "Who are you? And where did you come from? May I ask~?". Saphira then replied "I am the Chaos Frost Dragon, Saphira. I have come from the Underworld.". Smaug then observed Saphira, he then looked at the man with armor who had stood up. "Heh, that was some strong fire!" Complimented Issei. "No living being just takes a burn from my flames and lives to tell about it. Who are you?" Asked Smaug interested. "Issei Hyoudou, Black Dragon Emperor." Introduced Issei.

"Why have you come here? Are you here to kill me and take my treasure?" Asked Smaug menacingly. "Hoh? Oh nothing like that! I'm here to recruit you!" Replied Issei. "Recruit me? Do you think you're strong enough to contain me?" Asked Smaug as his snout was right in front of Issei. "We wont contain you. You will simply be a member of our team, We're called the Cataclysm." Replied Issei honestly.

"The Cataclysm? Interesting Name, What else do you claim to be?" Asked Smaug. "Hmm? Well, I am the Aspect of Death and the Black Dragon Emperor." Replied Issei. "Aspect of Death? Such a bone-chilling name~!... Can you live up to it~?" Asked Smaug with a deep voice. "I'd be more than happy to show you..." Replied Issei with a smirk of confidence. Smaug's eyes widen at this. "Your confidence, It is misplaced..." Said Smaug. "How about a deal then?" Suggested Issei.

"A deal? Of what sort? If it is one that offers treasure, I have all that I need and want right here..." Said Smaug. "Hoh? Really? Because I noticed you've been eyeing my companion over here." Said Issei as he looked at Saphira. "Huh?" Asked Saphira as both Smaug and Issei were looking at her. "You would offer your own servant?" Asked Smaug curiously. "Hehehe, I am known to be quite bold." Replied Issei confidently. Smaug then growls and says "Very well, I accept your terms.".

The battle between Smaug and Issei was now going to commence. Smaug started by attacking Issei with incredibly powerful flames, Issei managed to dodge this time. Issei countered by unleashing his {LONGINUS REAP!} attack against Smaug. He was pushed back by the attack but even the one of Issei's special attacks couldn't get through the hide of Smaug. Smaug Roared as he unleashed even more flames, while flying in the process. Issei then flanked him and proceeded to dropkick Smaug. It still wasn't enough to damage Smaug underneath his hide. Issei then remembered that Great Red had stated that Smaug's skin is stronger than his, which means Issei would have to unleash his Juggernaut Drive to defeat Smaug.

{JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!} Said the Eradication gear as Issei had unleashed his Juggernaut Drive. "A new form? What else have you been hiding from me... Aspect of Death~?" Asked Smaug as he flapped his wings so hard that two hurricanes had been created inside the mountain. Issei however in his Juggernaut Drive was able to easily deflect these hurricanes. {ERADICATE!} Said the Eradication Gear as it unleashed a ball of energy and Issei threw it at Smaug. This time Smaug had been damaged, not even his hide could defend from such an attack. Smaug was now angry, he had roared incredibly loudly and charged at Issei. Issei however tried to take him straight on and charged with his head as well. The two clashed and they had destroyed the entrance to the Kingdom in the process. From lake town the two massive dragons could be seen duking it out. "You will burn!" Roared Smaug as he unleashed more flames, Issei blocked it with his fists and managed to get a punch in on Smaug. Smaug responded by smacking Issei with his tail, causing Issei to crash to the ground. {ERADICATE! ERADICATE! ERADICATE! MASSACRE!} Shouted the Eradication Gear. Smaug had created more hurricanes, all were headed for Issei until {LONGINUS! O-O-OBLITERATOR!} Shouted the Eradication Gear as a massive beam of energy was released from Issei's chest. The hurricanes were swept away like nothing while Smaug wasn't fast enough to dodge. He was mortally wounded and fell to the ground unconscious.

Smaug, The King Under the Mountain had been defeated. Issei then deactivated his Juggernaut Drive and dived down still in his Balance Breaker, Saphira also arrived beside Issei to heal him. Once Issei had been healed Saphira was ordered to heal Smaug, once that was done he would be introduced to the Cataclysm and its rules.

*Dimensional Gap*

Great Red was floating in the blank void of the Dimensional Gap. "Hmph, once again he gains a powerful ally." Said Great Red. A new voice then replied "Issei... Likes good battles..." It was Ophis who said that. "Heh, how's your spawn Lilith doing?" Asked Great Red sarcastically. "...Baka-Red..." Said Ophis.
