Shout out to all who reviewed! Sorry again for the late update...again ^_^" But as you know school and stuff aka the usual.
Also, Blossick102 I mentioned in my first story V.M (Chapter 28 in the Intro) that the girls weren't going to turn into vampires. They are also hints in this story (aka Chapter 33) that the girls prefer to be human. They have pride of being human yet still able to kick supernatural ass. Bottom line the PPGZ aren't going to become vamps. Too cliche. U_U
Me:I think its safe to say that everyone was amazed and impressed by Ka-san's battle ^_^
Others:Aye!
Miyako:...Where's Butch?
Brick:Recovering U_U
PPGZ:... Still?
Brady&Boomer:Yup!
Me:Remember Nar got Ka-san AND Elise-san involved... then Ririka-sama got into it because she doesn't like Hikari's urge to kill females anyway and since Butch ignited it well~ ^_^"
Brick:Ririka-sama felt that she had to take matters into her own hands
Kaoru:So all three of them got him? O_O
Boomer:Yeah T^T
Momoko:...*to Nar* What was it like?
Nar:Let me see if I can put it into perspective *thinks* let's say Butch represents a large country like China or Russia, the ladies were the equivalent of three volcanoes going off at the same time while tornadoes appear and absorb the lava and ash becoming funnels of molten ash and a meteor shower is hitting the country with meteors the size of semi-trucks *short inhale* all at the same time... it was quite the spectacle
Others:...
Me:Poor Butch-nii T_T
Brick:Had to stay in our rooms for a while
Momoko:I can see why o.o
Kaoru:...Is he still alive?
Other RRBZ&I:Of course! He's Butch ^_^
Nar: whether or not he's conscious however is debatable
Electron:In fact I'd say he's teetering on the line of going into a coma
Kaoru:...
Miyako:That's terrible T^T
Me:Etto... not the most positive way to start of the chapter...
Others:*shakes their heads no* No, not at all
Me:But yet it kinda fits the mood for Otto-san's battle
Miyako:And then its over?
Me:*nods* Then its over
Miyako:Yay no more violence! ^_^
Brady:Aw :/
Nar & Electron: *chuckles*
Me:Yosh Nar would you say the disclaimer,sil vous plait?
Nar: va bene, Tsuki doesn't own anything related to the PPGZ franchise nor Rin, Ayumi, Electron and myself. Happy Reading
Electron: TO THE STORY!
Others:OI WE SAY THAT!
"Wiping out every opponent on the board. THAT'S a Checkmate."~King Richard
Rauvian HQ
Normal P.O.V
The Vampire King had his eyes closed in a serious manner as he walked in his enemies territory. Besides his wife getting kidnapped the main thing that bothered him was how Damphir survived his wrath. No one can survive Richard's wrath. Richard even remembered using his element that day. After that battle the Kingdom realized how scary the 16-year-old King was and the titles for him started to pour. The King has thought of explanations as soon as he found out the Rauvians were walking the Earth once again. He's come to the conclusion that it wasn't Damphir he killed that day. Not that Richard was cocky of his power, he just knows his power and strength. It would be impossible for Damphir to have survived that fight. Richard is simply too destructive.
Sensing he has walked into the right place the King stopped walking. His red eyes opened slowly as he scanned the room left and right. There was a desk with a few papers on it, some chairs, and blueprints. A part of Richard wanted to know what the blueprints were for, but his conscience told him that it wouldn't matter anyway.
'Why isn't he here?' Richard thought narrowing his eyes. Richard's eyes shifted suddenly, but before he knew it he slammed into the wall. The wall crushed into rumble as Richard collided with it. Red eyes, somehow harshly cold as the tundra despite red being a passionate color, gazed upon the one responsible for such a sneaky attack. Standing right where Richard used to be was he prey. Damphir the Hunter. Nothing short of an evil smirk on his face and a fist that is adorned by black brass knuckles.
"Congrats. You found me" Damphir said looking down at the King.
"That's the most cowardly attack you ever performed" Richard said. His voice was so cold that it put the climate of Antarctica to shame. Obviously, Richard's 'kuu' side was present.
"I just wanted to draw your blood. Nothing more nothing less."
Richard stood up as the rumble on his clothes started to fall off his body. A thin trail of blood is seen sliding down his forehead. It was enough for Damphir's keen eyes to see. He's been studying the garnet color for centuries. With one glance alone he knew the color of Richard's blood did not match. Richard's blood color was a dangerous shade of red. More specifically an apocalyptic red. Though extraordinary that color red runs through his veins its not the kind his looking for.
"Its your wife" Damphir said with a slight chuckle.
"Fiona." Was all Richard said.
"All this time we could have completed our goal already and the founding members are all here. I'm the one who sent them away" Damphir chuckled and shook his head. "I should have did that to her in the first place"
"It wouldn't make a difference." Richard said honestly "Fiona could have wiped out your entire clan by herself."
"Oh?" Damphir decided to play along. "Then why didn't she?"
"Because she knew that I was coming for her." Richard answered. "She knows not to start cleaning up my mess before I arrive"
"Your mess? Richard I am not mess. I am Damphir the Hunter and you are not the one I am hunting for. At least not anymore"
"If you think I'm going to allow you to hunt down my wife, shed her blood, and use it for your worthless purposes then you've gone metal" Richard said standing still like a statue. No emotion was on his face, and the only thing active was the icy red pools that were his eyes.
"Stand aside Richard you confront a force beyond reckoning!"
"Your father dabbled in powers 'beyond reckoning'. Where is he, now?" Richard said unemotionally.
Damphir's eyes flared with rage at the bold statement and he charged at Richard. The King merely took one step forward and both of the men's fists collided. Upon the two fists connect a powerful shock wave spread throughout the room and it started to crumble. The two men jumped backwards as a large part of the ceiling separated them. Damphir was the first to charge again with a kick but Richard leaned sideways to dodge it then elbowed Damphir's side to take advantage of their position.
"I didn't think you would want to be hunted by me twice" Damphir said recovering from the blow rather quickly.
"I don't care for your title anymore than I care about my own" Richard said coldly. "I'm just here to clean up my mess."
Damphir's eyes narrowed at being referred to as a mess again and the two of them engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Every time one of them missed a blow the cave walls had to suffer. Neither of them let the fact that the very room they were in was starting to crumble. Gradually, Richard was unsealing his element. The lion poked his head out of the cage.
Raiden's P.O.V
We defeated a lot of Uprisers to get here but we finally did. There were guards all over the place. Yuichi was pleased because it meant we were getting where we belonged. While Takeshi was pounding the last of our enemies the rest of us looked at the machine. It looked like a chamber and it was opened to reveal a lot of disconnected tubes in it. Somehow it looked medieval and modern at the same time. It also had these cool ancient looking symbols all over it. I guess they came into the modern world to finish off what was left. Its kind of scary how they knew at point in time they'll have what they need.
"That's the contraption,huh?" Satoshi asked moving Slaughter around so the blood will splatter of her.
"Yup that's it." Tsuki said.
"It was made to dig into Ka-san's flesh, drain her blood, and use the supernatural essence of her blood to grant those who drink it elements." Yuichi said walking around it slowly.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's destroy it!"
"Hold on Takeshi" Yuichi said "We don't even know what powers it"
"If we were to just smash it something could've blown up in our faces" imoto said.
"Whatever" Takeshi grunted and stared at it.
I somehow found myself walking along the circumference of the machine as well. Although it was going to be used on my ka-san I have to admit it is really well built.
"Ka-san is supposed to go inside this machine...and the tubes enter limbs and suck every drop of blood from her" Yuichi analyzed.
"Why not just cut and wring her?" Satoshi asked and the rest of us paused. The way his mind works worries us sometimes.
"Well they can't afford to waste any of her blood." Imoto said.
"Yeah plus they have a whole clan to feed." I said.
"If Damphir feeds them" Takeshi muttered.
"Valid point Takeshi, but we won't wait and see what happens." Yuichi said.
"So Red, how are we crushing this thing?" Satoshi asked.
"Carefully. These tubes are automated. One step inside and these tubes will drain us dry"
"So we destroy it from the outside" Takeshi smirked, and Yuichi nodded then looked at me.
"Raiden you can use your electricity to break the circuits inside. Once you do that the tubes won't be a threat to us anymore."
"Yosh!" I said walking to the back of the machine and my siblings stayed around the front.
"Stand back" I told them and they did so. Takeshi pulled Suki-san behind him and she sweat-dropped. I lightly placed two palms on the machine and sent out an electrical pulse. It was like a signal that will get sent back to me. This is how I find out the electrical wiring of machines. In less than a second the pulse returned to my body and I could instantly see and understand how this machine was wired and the power source.
"Found it!" I called.
"Sugoi Raiden-nii!" I heard Suki-san say.
"CHARGE!" I said and a vast amount of electricity amplified in my body.
"SCATTER!" on my command I channeled my own electricity into the machines' wires and started to overload the system inside. I can sense and feel the machine getting zapped from the inside and the circuits starts to overflow. The machine itself started to rock a bit and I saw the machine start to discharge a little. Regardless, I kept putting my electricity in it until I knew that the automated system and motion detector was busted. More discharges was seen on the machine itself and I heard Satoshi and Takeshi cheering.
"Keep it up Raiden-nii!" Suki-san said.
"You got this bro!" I heard Takeshi say.
So far everything was going smoothly until I felt a disturbance in the electric currents. The discharges grew larger and it started to lash out wildly.
"Raiden's what's going on?!" Yuichi asked in an alert tone.
"The electric currents are going out of control!" I summed up.
"Do something before we get electrocuted!" Takeshi said. I can hear the 'pats' on the floor that tell me that my siblings were starting to dodge.
This electricity is different than mine. Its neutrally charged and even though allowing such voltage in my body was super risky I sure as hell wasn't going to let my siblings get hurt. After taking a deep breath I started to absorb the electricity that was lashing out everywhere. I jerked a bit as the foreign electricity channeled within my body. My muscles felt tingly and my heartbeat sped up.
"Its going down!" I heard Satoshi say referring to the discharge. I could barely hear him since the loud sound of static rushed through my ears. A few seconds later, the discharge was around my own body as well. However, I can barely stand and I never contained this much foreign voltage in my body before. Small discharges was visible on my body. I was so focused on what's going on inside me I barely noticed my siblings coming to me.
"Alright Raiden!" Takeshi slapped my back but I ended up zapping him.
"Ow!"
"Dude you're...electrifying" Satoshi said blinking at his choice of words.
"I-I know" I said going on my knees and breathing heavily.
"Raiden-nii what's wrong!?" Suki-san said coming closer, but I moved back.
"No don't come near me! You'll get zapped like Takeshi!"
"You're super charged..." Yuichi said looking at the electricity sparking up around my body.
"Y-Yeah I never absorbed this much voltage before from the same source" I explained.
"Went over your limit?" Satoshi asked.
"I guess so considering we didn't unlock our full elements."
"Can't you release it?" Takeshi asked.
"Its too wild and it'll spread. You'll mostly likely get hit" I explained.
Yuichi turned to Takeshi, Tsuki, and Satoshi and said, "Tear that thing apart Raiden did 3/4 of the job for us"
"Aye!" the three of them said. Yuichi stayed his safe distance from me and watched the Rauvian's beloved contraption get destroyed.
Tsuki summoned her katana and started slicing pieces of the machinery. Satoshi made his winds razor sharp so he can cut up the machine in the same way as Tsuki's katana. Takeshi left violent dents with his boulders and literally smashed it to pieces. It didn't take long for it to become nothing but a pile of debris.
"Excellent" Yuichi said before holding up his fist. He had a deep looking of concentration and we all knew what it meant. Yuichi is going to summon a different kind of fire. Ever since Yuichi learned about his element he has been reading about it even before his training even started. He told us that there is something called a Pyric Spectrum and apparently they are different colored fires and each one does something different and varies in rarity. They are certain fires Yuichi can't manipulate such as hell-fire, which is what Rin has, since he isn't a demon. However, he is still learning all the other kinds of fires he actually can conjure.
After a few slow breaths multi-colored fire engulfed his fist. I never saw rainbow fire before but Yuichi said that the Fire Spirit displayed it to her once. With his supernatural powers I had no doubt Yuichi would be able to use it.
"Pretty..." I heard Suki-san say.
"It is the rarest and purest fire out there" Yuichi said looking at the pile of debris.
"Why use that one?" Takeshi asked looking at the beautiful flames in awe.
"It's best to not to leave this trash around to make it another man's treasure" Yuichi said and the rainbow fire grew quickly, but not too much. We can tell Yuichi is new with it, but we were all impressed he's able to conjure such a rare flame so soon. That's Yuichi for you.
"Ran-Shaw's Flames!" Yuichi said and fired the small beam at the pile of debris. It shined in a beautiful rainbow color with orange, red, and yellow being the most dominant and when the flame disappeared so did the pile of debris.
"Cool" Satoshi said and Yuichi got rid of the special flame around his fist and sighed. Probably took a lot of energy to summon it.
Suddenly large vibrations reverberated in the caves. We could hear the sounds of falling rocks and lightly feel...shock-waves?
"Takeshi." Yuichi said.
Takeshi concentrated on the earth and his eyes lit up. "Its otto-san!"
"Figures..." Satoshi said. "Do you think he activated his element?"
The other siblings had wide eyes at the possibility.
"No...if otto-san activated his element this place would be collapsing in itself by now" Yuichi said logically.
"Then what's with the noise?" I asked.
"I sense him fighting someone...he's strong judging by his heavy footsteps...Otto-san crashed into the ground a couple times due to him" Takeshi informed us.
"Otto-san? In the ground? That doesn't sound right..." Satoshi said.
"It doesn't...so that must mean that he's-"
"Fighting Damphir" the rest of us said in unison.
"We have to get out here!" Suki-san said. "Its only a matter of time before otto-san literally tears this place apart!"
"You mean his Lionhearted side?" I said with my eyes widening. For a moment I even forgot the clashing surges in my body due to me being super charged.
"Aka his insane side" Satoshi said with a smirk.
"Aka his true vampire form" Takeshi added.
"FYI we should really leave" Yuichi said playing along with the acronyms but at the same time letting them know what's really important. Yuichi came over to me without me realizing and put me on his back. I felt his body tense as the electricity slipping from my body shocked him.
"Yuichi don't I can walk!" I said trying to get off but he didn't allow it. I can hear his heartbeat quicken as well as mine. Why is his heartbeat quickening though? Is it because I'm close to him?
"Any move you make can add stress to the electrical surges in your body. Its best you keep as still as you can while trying to contain the voltage."
"But I'm electrifying you!"
"Don't worry soon you'll be electrifying Takeshi and Satoshi"
"Eh!?"
"Damn straight!" Takeshi said. "We aren't going to only let Yuichi carry you out of here"
"Yeah we don't care about the pain. We're just focused on getting out of here" Satoshi added.
"We're brothers aren't we?" Yuichi said looking back at me with a smirk and I grinned childishy.
"Aye!" I said.
"Kawai!" Tsuki said gushing at our bromance. "I'm going to carry Raiden-nii too!"
"NO YOU'RE NOT! ARE YOU CRAZY!?" the four of us said in unison. "YOU'LL GET SHOCKED!"
"Demo you guys are doing it!" Tsuki said.
"Yeah but if we jumped of a bridge would you do it!" Takeshi asked.
"Are you seriously using that line on me!?"
"Hell yeah I am!"
"Suki-san, carrying a super charged Raiden is way too dangerous. Now let's go"
Ah there it is. Yuichi's absolute tone. He gets it from otto-san. It makes him win arguments all the time...unless its with Ka-san.
Wait a second...
"KA-SAN!" I suddenly yelled.
"Oh yeah! She's in here too!"
"She isn't with otto-san!" Takeshi said running and feeling the vibrations along the wall.
"Okay new plan we're finding Ka-san!" Yuichi said.
"AYE!" the rest of us quickly agreed.
Normal P.O.V
Their surroundings now looked more like ruins than a series of caves underground.
Without a doubt beating Damphir was going to be easier than it was all those centuries ago. Although his strength got him to the ground a few times Richard knew he wouldn't last long if his element was activated. So why hasn't he activated it yet? Two reasons. One he knows that being pushed to the ground will make Damphir thinks he has a shot of wining and he wants him to keep thinking that to mess with his inner thoughts. The second reason is he knows Damphir has something up his sleeve. Richard analyzed the way he moves is too cautious and he is purposely trying to cover it up. Usually the person to draw out weapons first wins,unless you are Richard. Richard wants him to draw out his secret weapon first. Even though activating his element will make Damphir bring out the secret weapon faster, it will be to risky for Richard's mind state. Damphir must draw out the weapon first.
The chessboard in Richard's mind is as follows:The two kings are facing each other waiting for the other to fall, one queen already fell and the other is still maneuvering around the chessboard, and all of the red pieces are still standing while the navy blue ones are starting to fade. The navy King wants the red Queen and do get to the other red pieces behind the red King. The red King, however, won't allow it. As long as his pieces are behind him the navy King shall not pass. So the two Kings face each other, waiting to the other to fall. Waiting for Checkmate. The fancy throne that the players are sitting in are no longer there. Now its just a skeleton sitting on a pile of bones, and a lion in a cage. The lion's head was already poked out and started to stand.
Outside of Richard's mind the two keep punching and kicking each other brutally. Damphir is bleeding inside his mouth, but gladly swallowing the blood back down his throat and continued his assault on Richard.
'This is taking too long' Damphir thought punching Richard's face the same time Richard punched his left rib cage. The ribs broke of course but Damphir didn't even notice. Richard's nose was crooked due to Damphir's punch, but he didn't notice either.
"I'm impressed Richard" Damphir said. "You lasted this long."
"Was I supposed to be defeated by now?" Richard asked unemotionally while dodging when Damphir tried to jump on him.
"Obviously." The Rauvian Leader blocked a hit from Richard.
"Who did I kill that day on the battlefield?" Richard asked ignoring Damphir's ignoramus statement. The question has been in the back of his mind for a while.
"Xander of course"
"How?" Richard said narrowing his eyes. He doesn't tolerate being deceived, and Damphir didn't fail to notice how much harder Richard's attacks got. The violent whooshing sounds that entered Damphir's ears while he moves his head out of the way from Richard's blows, and the dangerous icy glare on his face made it obvious.
"A bloodlust Richard charges on the battlefield. Looking for the person your dear father advised,Me. You never saw my face just my scent"
Richard stopped attacking and just held on his arms while Damphir held onto him as well. They pushed each other, but since their strength is even they are anchored in equilibrium. This is the result of an unstoppable force (Damphir) meeting an immovable object (Richard). They'll just keep clashing until one overpowers the other.
"Get to the point" Richard said keeping his ground.
"Xander wore my jacket and my blood was spilled on it from previous encounters. The rest was obvious"
"So I never really fought you..." Richard said. He didn't know who he wanted to punch more. Damphir or himself. Two seconds later he decided on Damphir.
"No and now when we actually meet I'll have the pleasure of defeating you"
"Wasn't I supposed to be defeated by now?" Richard asked strengthening his grip.
"Yes" Damphir said grunting in slight annoyance. Looking at the streak of Richard's blood reminded him that Fiona's blood is still out there. Waiting to be drained and fuel the Rauvians so that they have finish their plans. Damphir allowed Richard to push him back only to land perfectly on his feet.
"What's with the smirk?" Richard asked though he had a pretty good idea.
"This has been going on quite enough" Damphir said and suddenly pulled out two over-sized guns that were all too familiar to Richard.
"Why do you have those?" Richard growled at the fact that his great great grandfather's possession was in the hands of his enemy-for-centuries. Although he had a hunch Damphir was going to use the guns on him he still felt anger when he saw The Jackal and The Casull get pulled out and aiming at him.
"What better way to kill you than with the great Alucard's guns?" Damphir said smirking and firing the first shot.
"You better be wearing gloves" Richard said with a hole now in his left shoulder and blood is visible leaking out of it.
"I'm not" Damphir said in a subtle taunting tone. "Its been a great battle. Its nice to know that I will be the only being alive to ever defeat the unbeatable Richard Kakihara"
At that moment a round of bullets started hitting Richard all over his body. Alucard used them to kill vampires, ghouls, and other supernatural foes that threatened England back in the day, since he is apart of the Hellsing Organization. In today's world it no longer exists since the S.N.C was formed to keep the supernaturals in check. However, Setsuna mentioned to Richard that one day it might be needed again.
Richard stood there as he stature started breaking apart due to the bullets turning his body into Swiss cheese. Bones shattered at the mighty bullets and blood sprayed everywhere. Richard's left hand even tore off his body since too many bullets hit his wrist. Organs slipped out of his flesh and his body turned into mush. It didn't take long for him to become nothing but a pile of flesh, blood, tattered clothes, and bone rubble. Damphir stopped shooting and smirked then started laughing heartily.
"Arrogant fool" Damphir said walking past the mush. "There's no such thing as being invincible"
Before he even got to make a fifth step the disembodied hand of Richard gripped Damphir's ankle to the point where a loud crack is heard.
"What the-!?" Damphir said but got cut off when the hand flung him back into the wall. Damphir watched wide eyes and Richard's blood stat to move on its own, his bones mended on its own, and organs returned to their rightful place on its own, and his flesh were stuffed back into his skin on its own. Damphir was shocked at how quickly his mutilated body from gunfire returned back to normal with even the smallest of damage from before gone. The only thing different was that he had this...ancient, immense, and chaotic energy surging around his newly formed body.
By the time his feet touched the floor he realized that the aura Richard now gave is changing his appearance drastically. Within a few seconds Richard grew a mustache, neatly trimmed beard, and his hair grew significantly. Instead of his hair being neatly cut short it is now a wild mane of bluish-black hair with longer bangs that will sometimes cover his left eye. His cold, cruel red eyes are now the yellowish brown eyes that you would see on a lion. His serious scowl is now replaced with a wild smirk to show off his broad white teeth and revealed fangs. His released aura changed his casual attire to a heavy medieval armor that is his elemental armor aka Othil Armor (A/N:Google image Alucard Armor for a better visual of his armor and how his face and hair looks). His Othil armor consisted of a metal banded medieval breastplate, matching arm guards, greaves, and waist guard. He has a long black sleeved shirt under the armor and black pants can be seen under his armored lower body. What stands out about this armor the most is Richard's huge tattered cloak that is black on the outside yet his signature apocalyptic red on the inside. Richard cackled at the expression Damphir was wearing. He's heard rumors of Richard's true vamp form, but he never imagined it to be like this. The powerful aura Richard emitted made Damphir's nerves wrack. The remaining people in the Rauvian HQ can feel Richard's aura and know that he unlocked his element. Those who are outside know something is going on because the very sky itself went from black to a deep red color.
Its official.
The Lion is out of his cage.
"No such thing as being invincible?" Richard's deeper voice boomed in the room causing echoes to break lose.
"You're right, but someone who has suffered defeat doesn't get to say that"
"You're not the Richard that was on the battle field!" Damphir shouted still astonished by the Lion before his eyes.
"Right again. I'm much more experienced and...wilder"
"A being like you can't be King!" Damhpir said shooting Richard with Alucard's guns again. The only difference is now that his true form is revealed the bullets bounce of his body even when it hits his exposed skin. Richard cackled cruelly and his elemental tattoo glowed on his back. Damphir took out his secret weapon now it was Richard's turn. He put his hand on his back and his elemental tattoo glowed bright enough for Damphir to see. By slowly extending his arm a long sword revealed to be seemingly coming from Richard's back when the truth is it was coming from his tattoo. The long sword had a glided lion's head on top of the black hilt, and the long shiny blade is razor sharp to the point. The blade's name is Regulus and it is a shining sword that contradicted Richard's intimidating appearance.
"A being like me can't allow nothing more than a mere skeleton as yourself to be King" Richard said.
Damphir started getting irritated again and found his grip on Alucard's guns once again.
"Skeleton? I broke your skeleton before and I'll do it again!" Damhpir started shooting more rounds and Richard's yellowish-brown lion eyes watched with a cruel smirk and he took his time approaching him. By the time they were inched apart Regulus started to glow in a destructive light that was too great for Damhpir. His virgin eyes have never seen a light so chaotic. How is that even possible? He was having trouble believe that this was the Richard who took his father's place at such a young age.
"Do really think that the guns of my great great grandfather will kill me alone? Did you really think that you could defeat me with bullets!? Ahahahaha! You bloody Rauvians have your heads too far up your arses!" Richard laughed it was an insane, animalistic laugh.
"Regulus Impale!" Richard growled and stabbed his mighty sword in Damphir's abdomen. A few seconds later Regulus violently slanted and his abdomen tore on the right side. Now Damphir as a deep cut on his right abdomen, but it stopped in the middle. Damphir's eyes widened even more noticing the way the sword moved.
"Did your sword just move on its own?!" the Hunter asked heavily bleeding.
"Regulus is a sadistic blade. Once it tastes blood it craves it'll strive for more" The Lion said slamming the blade itself on his spine to immobilize him. The Lion usually fights until its prey is immobilized or completely humiliated. He managed to do both with one slash of a sword. Damphir is foreign to losing one-on-one fights so he felt agitated and slightly confused.
"What is this!?" Damphir shouted. "This is not how it should be!"
"This is your End" Richard held up the hand that wasn't holding a sword and a ball of destructive energy instantly formed and he hurled it at Damphir. He was instantly vaporized and any trace of him vanished.
Richard's cursed element is destruction. It is the cursed element because with it Richard can destroy anything, everything, and everyone. Of course, an outsider would assume the power to be cool. However, mastered this element was very burdening for Richard while growing up. He avoided contact with others until he was sure that his element was completely sealed. With his element his can destroy actual places such as areas, buildings, cities, countries, states, continents, to even bigger things such as worlds, planets and star systems, to abstract things such as dimensions, parallel worlds, galaxies, and even nebulas. Of course he wouldn't because it wouldn't benefit him.
Damphir was his main target to destroy but his job is not done. The Lion looked around his surroundings. He saw that the cave was about to collapse within itself. He was in no rush though. The Lion took in a deep breath and let out a mighty roar. The large boulders turned into rocky dust, the entire underground cave shook and can be mistaken for Takeshi's earthquakes, and bats quickly fluttered out of the cave and into the red-skied night. An invisible shock wave traveled while the Lion roared and that shock wave spread across the entire globe of Earth. Once he knew what he cleaned up the remains of his mess he stopped roaring and gritted his teeth.
Richard's element isn't just a curse because he has to be very cautious with his powers but also because in order to use his element something must be destroyed as well. Since Richard isn't the type to destroy property for no reason, he usually destroyed his own sanity. Richard losing sanity is too unpredictable and that's where Satoshi's psychotic behavior comes in. He is glad that his purple-eyed son gets to express his insanity freely, but he cannot. The longer his sanity is destroyed the riskier it is of it getting put back together.
"Richard!" a familiar voice called out the the Lion.
That's where the lion tamer comes in.
The Lion turned around, his long bang moving to the side so he can see his lioness with both yellowish-brown eyes. Fiona had some dust on her, but luckily in her armor she would be shielded from anything that fell from the collapsing cave.
"Fi...o..na..." The Lion growled out.
"...Richard..." Fiona said in awe looking at his appearance. The Lion growled lowly at her. Fiona hasn't seen Richard's true vampire form in literally centuries. It is her second time seeing it. Seeing his intimidating and powerful appearance Fiona is going to say the same thing she said to Richard when she first saw it.
"Your mustache!" Fiona said happily and walked up to her husband casually despite the powerful aura practically blasting in her face.
"And your faded beard! You look just like Alucard! Have I ever told you that?"
The Lion growled.
"Oh...well its true" Fiona giggled a little before smiling elegantly at him. "Richard you should seal your element back before you send everything to nothingness. You wouldn't want to do that"
The Lion nodded and closed his eyes. His armored arms carefully embraced his wife and the aura started to fade. He didn't see it but the sky returned to its original black color for the night sky. Too much damage was done for the cave to not collapse within itself, but at least nothing else will get destroyed. Richard's Othil armor remained on him but his shining sadistic sword, Regulus, went back into his elemental tattoo on his back. Finally, Richard's eyes went back to being its apocalyptic red color. The Lion has returned to his cage.
"...Love?" Richard asked, his voice back to normal.
"Yes Richard?" Fiona asked hugging him still allowing her ear to rest on his breastplate.
"Why didn't you get out the cave when it knew it was collapsing?"
"Because you are still in here" Fiona answered as if it was obvious. "Plus I didn't want to miss seeing your true vampire form for a second time."
Richard chuckled deeply and tucked some of Fiona's now longer hair behind her ear. Fiona put her armored arms around Richard's neck and looked at him lovingly. A light smile spread on the King's lips before cupping Fiona's chin while kissing her. Richard may be a kuudere, but he is very romantic. Although boulders were still falling and crashes were heard in the distance the Royal couple stayed right where they were to enjoy their little moment.
Outside the Cave
"NAR!" the Princes said in unison.
"Yes?"
"Let us run inside!" Takeshi yelled.
"The cave is collapsing within itself you boys know that" Nar said.
"Our parents are in there!" Raiden said still coping with his super charged state.
"Raiden you of all people should stay outside the cave" Nar said.
The whole time Tsuki was staring up at the sky. The was red and the moon has a red tinge to it. She knew her father's element was activated and she has never been more worried. She never saw her father's power in person, same with her mother, but she knew it how powerful it was by what others say.
"Nar is right we should wait" Yuichi said.
"What?!" Takeshi yelled for the mere sake of yelling.
"Look Ka-san and Otto-san are more than capable of surviving something like this" Yuichi said gesturing to the cave. "We should just wait."
"I wish they would come out now" Raiden said pouting.
"Well they are probably still fighting." Satoshi said. "I mean its not like you can just lift a finger, wave it around and say 'Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo', and expect our parents do just walk out of the cave in an epic fashion"
"That was oddly spiecifc" Nar commented.
Just then dust came out of the cave do to the falling rock and out of the dust came Richard carrying Fiona bridal style. The Jackal and The Casull is strapped to Richard's waist guard.
"I shall use this power for good!" Satoshi declare raising his finger dramatically. Nar chuckled to himself.
"OTTO-SAN! KA-SAN!" the five children said in unison before glomping their parents.
"Ah! Raiden! You shocked me!" Fiona said surprised.
"Sorry Ka-san! I'm super charged." Raiden said pulling back but Fiona pulled in towards her again.
"Don't be! It felt wonderful!"
Everyone sweat dropped at Fiona's masochistic moment.
"Good to see your well" Nar sad smiling at his friends.
"You as well Nar" Richard said while Satoshi and Takeshi hugged his sides.
"I didn't even know you kids were coming here" Fiona said hugging Tsuki.
"We kinda found out what happened.." Tsuki admitted timidly.
"No... we did find out and took action" Yuichi said.
"What were you doing in that cave?" Fiona asked.
"To help you guys wipe out Rauvians!" Takeshi said proudly.
"And we destroyed that draining machine!" Raiden said. "That's why I'm super charged."
"I killed the dude that hurt Naomi for Kimiko!" Satoshi said proudly with a wicked grin.
"You did what?!" Fiona said.
"Yeah! We had to defend our kingdom!" Tsuki said.
"Aye!" the four Princes said in unison with a fist pump.
"Who's Naomi?" Richard asked.
"Kimiko's smoking hot older sister" Takeshi said and his father blinked at the description.
"I see..." was all he said.
"So...you all snuck out...in order to put yourselves in a dangerous situation to fight off one of the most powerful Vampire Clans in ancient times?"
"Yeah!" the five children said in unison. Richard and Nar looked at each other knowingly.
"Oh you kids are so brave and I'm glad that you all did this to keep your kingdom safe" Fiona said kissing their foreheads.
"But of course you know you still snuck out the castle" Fiona said smiling.
"Well duh!" Satoshi said.
'Here it comes' Nar said in Richard's mind.
'Yup.' Richard thought.
Fiona's smile turned into a motherly stern expression.
"YOU ARE ALL GROUNDED!"
"NANI!?"
Nar laughed at the display of the prestigious Kakihara family.
"You all never fail to amuse me" Nar said through laughs.
"Thanks...?" Richard said sweat-dropping at the fact Nar was enjoying this.
"NOT FUNNY NAR!" the five royals said in unison.
"STOP YELLING AT NAR!"
