Blake got out of the shower that was in the room and saw Dylan looking out the window, his shirt off. She saw that he had three rather large scaly spots, two which were bigger and on his upper back near his shoulder blades. The other was smaller and thinner where his tailbone was. Blake reached up to touch one of the top spots, and she felt Dylan's muscles tighten and stiffen. She could here his breathing start to quicken. "Dylan, calm down, it's just me. It's Blake." She tried to soothe the panicking dragon, which worked to a degree.
The cat faunus led him to sit on the bed. "Do you want to tell me how you got those scars? Dylan hesitated for a moment, then silently nodded. "You remember how I got the scar over my right eye?" Blake nodded. "It was the same rogue hunter. I didn't tell you guys before because I thought it was too gory or gruesome for you guys. When he dragged his blade across my face, his two other partners held me down as he forcefully amputated my wings. I tried fighting back with my tail, but I was just a kid. My attacks did nothing to him. He shrugged them off and grabbed my tail and cut it off too." Dylan paused for a moment, letting what he said sink in to Blake's mind. "And in the singles battle, when I was fighting Rick, he told me that it was his father who had done that to me. That he had come to finish the job." Blake thought for a moment. "He was probably doing that to throw you off." He shook his head, "He wouldn't have known what happened. You didn't see that kid's eyes. They were filled with bloodlust, just like his father. The eyes that have been haunting me for a decade." Dylan finished talking, and wiped a tear from his eye. He got up and walked towards the bathroom, intent on taking a shower.
As the water fell over Dylan's body, he began to think. If Samuel Zodiac knew that he was here, he would come for him. And since Blake was here, she would be targetted too. Dylan knew he had no choice, the man had struck fear within the towns people. They may have been rogue hunters, but they had no ill intent or were as evil as Samuel was. The red eyed teen stepped out of the shower and dried himself off and grabbed the red hairtie he had left on the sink, tying his hair into a pony tail. He looked into the mirror, his scar visible now. The dragon ran a hand over it, his hand clenching in anger. He stepped out if the shower and was met with the sight of Blake staring right at him.
"You're going after him aren't you?" She asked him, hands on her hips. Dylan coughed and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. She sighed, "Fine. But I'm going with you. I'm not letting someone who hurt the man I love get away with it so easily. The dragon cupped her cheek, his red eyes seeming to glow. "Gratias, mi fēlēs." Dylan said softly, planting a kiss on her lips. After a few moments, the two seperated. "And what was that you said?" Blake asked as she started to lay down on the bed. "Thank you, my kitten." Dylan replied, getting into the bed as well.
The faunus couple stayed in the town for a few more days, seeing as how there was a storm passing by. Dylan moved away from the window he usually stared out of and grabbed Lux, sheathing it on his back. He grabbed Umbra, then combined them into their sniper form and strapped that over Lux's sheath. Tenebris and Glacies were sheathed on the underside of his forearm, hidden from view. Blake stirred from her nap and her eyes met Dylan's, and got up.
"Mávros has been quiet lately, don't you think?" Blake asked Dylan as they walked out their room, a mask covering Dylan's nose and mouth. The dragon faunus nodded and paused for a moment, reaching into his mind to try to contact Màvros. "I'm here, what do you need?" She said, though she sounded as if she was conflicted by something. Dylan and Blake frowned as they walked down the stairs. "What's wrong with you?" The Black Dragon Emperor asked his Spirit, who remained quiet for a moment. "What are we going to do exactly?" She asked the two faunus, who looked at each other in confusion. "What do you think we're going to do?" Blake asked the Spirit, who made a noise as if she was thinking. "You're going to kill this man aren't you?" Dylan growled, "Only if I have to, and right now, it seems like a very likely option." Mávros gasped, "Why?!" Dylan rose an eyebrow, "Didn't you hear what I told Blake in the room?" "No, not really." Dylan frowned, "Where the hell were you then?" "I was looking for ways to maintain your armored form without draining too much of your aura." Dylan sighed, "I'll explain on the way."
Dylan and Blake reached the cabin, the former walking up and knocking on the door. The door opened slowly. The dragon peered in and saw nothing. "Wha-" Dylan and Blake were knocked unconcious.
Dylan stirred awake and took in his surroundings. He saw Blake strapped down onto a table to his left. The dragon tried moving to free her, only for his movement to be restrained. He looked up and saw that he had been chained up with multiple chains.
"Good, you're awake." A voice that matched the depth of Dylan's. "You..." Dylan growled out as the man made himself shown. He resembled Richard, except that his hair was in a buzzcut and the man looked to be around 7 feet tall. "Ah, you remember me. I haven't forgotten about you." The man said, walking around the chained up Blake to come face to face to Dylan. "You're that dragon who's wings I clipped. Those were good times." Dylan growled and started to struggle more against the chains, only for them to start to constrict. "You killed Mitèra!" Dylan yelled, yanking at his chains. "I've killed a bunch of dragons, even an entire village of dragon faunus. But you knew that. So please, specify." Dylan's eyes dilated in anger, "You bastard!"
Samuel let out a laugh. "I wouldn't continue if I were you. Keep it up and I kill the girl, and I know you wouldn't want that." Dylan looked over to Blake, then back to Samuel. "What do you want?" Dylan asked him, anger seeping through his voice. "Thats a question I should be asking. After all, you two came to my house." The dragon looked around the room, and saw that only Lux and Umbra, along with Gambol Shroud were taken. "I just wanted to know why you killed my village, and why you killed Mitèra." Samuel let out another laugh. "To satisfy my bloodlust, why else? It's the same reason I'm going to kill you." Dylan's eyes widened as he saw the cleaver he had in his hand.
The man started walking over to Blake. "Don't you fucking touch her!" Dylan roared out, his eyes dilating and aura pulsating. "Looks like you have some life in you. I'm going to enjoy this." He smirked evily as he stalked forward. Dylan ripped the chains off his arms, surprising Samuel and Blake, who had just recovered from her unconciousness.
Samuel swung his cleaver down on Dylan, who placed his hands on either side of the blade. Scales started to cover his face, signifying the activation of his semblance. "I will kill you!" The dragon roared out and snapped the blade in half, then pulled out Tenebris and Glacies from their hidden sheathes and stabbed the man in the arms. While he was distracted, Dylan grabbed the chains holding Blake and shattered them. "I want you to take Gambol Shroud and go outside. Its more open there, more room for me to move around." Blake nodded and took her weapons and ran past Samuel and out the door. Dylan sheathed Lux and used Màvros' ring to call back his two smaller blades. Dylan strapped Umbra into his back and kicked Samuel in the face, then ran up the stairs.
"Blake, I've stunned him for a bit, he's gonna come outside, I'm going to be snipping him from that building over there." Dylan told her, semblance deactivated and pointed towards a rather large building. The cat faunus nodded and unsheathed Gambol Shroud, wielding the katana and cleaver.
Dylan dug his hand into a loose brick and pulled himself up, somewhat running up the wall. The door of Samuel's cabin burst open, drawing the attention of a few bystanders, two being small children. Dylan looked through his sight and fired a shot, only for it to be deflected by a chain. That was on fire. The bullet whizzed past his head "Shit!" Dylan cursed, and strapped Umbra back onto his back.
Sam paid the dragon no attention as he focused on Blake, who was protecting the two children. "Move aside girl, I'll deal with you later." Blake shook her head defiantly, seeing Dylan unsheath Lux from the building. Dylan ran off the side of the building in a dive, holding Lux to his side. "Caelum Draco Gladius!" Dylan yelled out, the gem in Lux glowing the same color as Mávros' ring gem. Lux dug deep into the rogue hunter's shoulder, only for the man to smirk and yank the sword out, with Dylan still holding it, and throwing him into a building, breaking the door and the surrounding bricks.
Dylan let out a roar of fury as he activated his semblance and shot out of the rubble, Lux now on his back and his fists coated with flames and electricity. Dylan went to punch Samuel, not expecting the man to throw one of his chains at Blake and hold her in front of him. The dragon barely had time to stope before the hunter threw Blake at him and sent the two back into the building. Dylan groaned in pain and looked at Blake, who was standing up and rushing Samuel again. "Blake!" Dylan yelled out, watching her get knocked away into rubble again.
Dylan growled as flames started to form in his mouth. He let out another fury filled roar and let the flames free, eyes widening when the hunter spun his chains and caught his flames. "That's just great..." Dylan said as he ran over to help Blake up. The dragin had a moment to turn before a flaming chain wrapped around his waist and dragged him across the floor. The hunter swung the faunus into his knee and then threw him into a building, causing it to crumble from the force.
Blake gasped as she saw the unmoving pile of rubble. 'Could he be..?' She turned her focus to the crazy hunter, who was now holding the old ram faunus hostage. Blake's eyes narrowed and she rushed forward, narrowly avoiding one of the two flaming chains. Samuel threw the old faunus aside and focused his attention on Blake. Using both his chains to restrain her movement. The ravenette focused her aura on making sure she wasn't burned.
An ear piercing roar broke through the air, causing the rouge hunter and cat faunus to turn their attention towards the rubble Dylan had been burried in. There was a black glow, with tints of red and purple mixed in, erupting from the fallen debris. The pile exploded, revealing a very furious Dylan in his DragonForce.
Dylan slowly stalked forward, his Ouranós Ring glowing. Dylan opened his mouth, both his voice and Mávros' voice coming out, "Caelum Draco Armum!" The combined voice yelled out, Samuel looking on with interest. Black armor began to cover Dylan's body. Metallic talons covered his hands and feet, and two giant flexible metallic wings sprouted from where his scars were. A tail also formed, ending in a spade like shape. A helmet covered Dylan's face, a pearleascent red and purple visor covering his eyes. There were large crystals on his armor sporting the same pearlescent color. One horn sprouted from the top of his helmet, facing back, and another two formed a bit farther back. "This will be your final moments." The combined voice spoke up again, this time holding Lux and pointing the blade forward.
"Minatur innocentibus qui parcit nocentibus." The armored dragon spoke again, then dashed forward with incredible speed, ripping away Samuel's hold on Blake. The hunter, in a panic, swung his flaming chains at the armored faunus, and dragged him in. "Get over here! Filthy faunus scum..." Dylan smirked behind his helmet and took hold of the chains, then shattered them in his clawed hands. The dragon faunus drove his knee into Samuel's gut, winding him and finally knocking him to the floor. "Now, you will join your son in Hades." The voice spoke again. The man locked eyes with Dylan, "You won't. You have too many questions. Questions that I ha-" the man stopped talking, having begun to choke on his own blood. He looked down and saw Lux impaled in his neck. Dylan's armor glowed for a moment then dissappeared, most likely to where ever Mávros summoned it from. The faunus bent down in front of the dying man. "Memento Mori..." With that, the dragon pulled out Lux, wiped it free of blood and closed Samuel's eyes.
Dylan staggered back a bit, yet remained standing. He looked around him, seeing the faces of the townspeople. Suddenly, the cheered. The red eyed teen's face was full of confusion, "I don't understand? Aren't you mad?" Blake walked up to him, the old faunus behind her. "Dylan, you and Blake have freed us from his hold on this town." Dylan's face still bore confusion. Blake, who was now next to him, explained, "The Zodiac family has been causing problems for this town for ages. Forcing them on hunts they don't wish to go on. It's probably the same reason you lost your parents." She said the last part in his ear, not wanting for his past tk draw too much attention. Dylan let a smile show on his face, and sheathed Lux. "I hope we haven't caused too much trouble." Blake told the faunus, who shook his head, "On the contrary, we wish to thank you." The dragon nodded, "Don't worry about it. I'm just happy that I was able to avenge them." He said, looking up towards the sky.
The day after, Blake and Dylan were packing up their bag, both having been well rested. Dylan kissed each of Blake's covered ears. "So, where to next?" He asked her, the two a good distance away from the town after having said their goodbyes. "Right now? From what I remember, there was a small hideout in near the mine over in this section." She told him, pointing at the sector on her map. "We'll check it out, see if we can find anything." He assured her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders in a hug.
