Chapter 37: Bahamut and Sedro
Sedro flew from the ship's deck and towards the sea again, if he was right, then Bahamut should be at the same place he always was. Sedro flew above the clouds, making sure he wasn't spotted. After a few hours he found the place. He landed on the stone floor of a ruin. He looked around and survey the area, a bunch of ruins covered in plants with runes carved into the stone leading to an old gold temple. The Tomb of the Dragon King, Bahamut's old home.
Sedro walked towards the front door and knocked three times. The door opened as if he was expected, Sedro went inside and took a few steps in when the door shut behind him. The room was lit with several torches, on the walls where some bookshelves containing thousands of books. Always the book worm Bahamut he thought to himself seeing the books.
"Ah, Sedro. I expected you to come here." A voice said. Sedro turned to see a large, gold dragon with a book in his hand standing behind him. "Bahamut" he said. Bahamut walked towards him. "It's been nearly a few years since we last met brother. Last time I saw you, you had brought your wife and two sons with you." Bahamut said.
Sedro remembered that day all to well.

Flashback
Sedro and his wife walked towards the Tomb and entered. Bahamut walked up to them and hugged his brother. "Sedro, I knew you'd come, and you brought your family." Bahamut said seeing Elaine holding the infant Mark and Revan in her arms. "What adorable children you've raised Elaine, I'm sure that one looks like their father." Bahamut said holding Mark in his arms.
"Yes, that one is Mark, this one is Revan." Elaine said. "Interesting names." Bahamut said. Baby Mark lifted his arm onto Bahamut's nose, Bahamut smiled. They soon heard crying from another room. Bahamut gave Sedro Baby Mark and hurried to the room, he came out a few minutes later with a small, infant gold dragon in his arm wrapped in a blanket. "Ah Leon, can't keep quiet for a few minutes now can you?" Bahamut asked the infant.
"That's your kid?" Sedro asked his brother. "Yes, but I must leave him in the Palace of the Golden dragons." Bahamut said. Sedro looked at him "What? Why?" he asked. "He has a taboo, meaning he can only like male dragons. So I must send him to the Palace." Bahamut told him. "Yes, that would cause problems for him." Sedro said. Bahamut chuckled a little as Leon woke up from his nap. "Hey there little one." Elaine said walking towards the two. "Can I?" Elaine asked. Bahamut nodded and let her carry Leon while he carried Revan.
"So these are my new nephews." Bahamut said looking at Revan and Mark. "Yep, and Leon is their new cousin." Sedro said watching Elaine rock Leon to sleep. "You chose a good wife brother." Bahamut said. Sedro smiled as he watched Elaine softly sing to Leon while rocking him.

"Yes, those where good times." Sedro said. "Now, I know you didn't come here to have a chat and reminisce on the old days. What are your really here for?" Bahamut asked. Sedro sighed "Well, you better get comfy because it's a long story." Sedro said and began his tale.

A few hours later…

Sedro finished his tale with the recount of the invasion plans and him coming here. "So, your eldest son has turned traitor on us and you helped them come one step closer to reviving our sworn enemy. God Sedro I thought things couldn't get worse and now this. God we're finished." Bahamut sighed after listening to his story.
"Exactly, this is why I need you and Leon to help me." Sedro said. "Leon is still recovering from the bullet Mephiles gave him, if I hadn't gotten there when I did, he'd be dead." Bahamut growled "Why should I help you brother?!" he yelled. "Because this concerns your nephew and my son!" Sedro yelled. Bahamut looked at him with an angry look. "Brother, please help us. If Revan manages to break the seal on Malefor then all hope is lost. Don't let me lose my son… not like my wife." Sedro pleaded.
Bahamut looked at him with some pity. "Sedro…I know how you felt when she died. And I understand you wanting to protect your son, but he must defeat him. It's his destiny." Bahamut told him. "Yes, your right. But Revan… he's beginning to act like Malefor did all those years ago, and I'm sure he picked up a few things from Vergil." Sedro said.
"Yes, I noticed some things about Mark while I was watching him." Bahamut said walking towards a pool of visions in the center of the room. "Really, like what?" Sedro asked following him. "One is that he acts just like Dante." Bahamut said. "And the second is that his girlfriend sometimes acted like Elaine did." He added. Sedro remembered what happened at the City after Mark was awake from the devil's shade, when she called him "Little One", it was the same thing Elaine called him and his brother when they where babies.
"Yes, so did I." Sedro said. They saw the pool change and show the fleet of ship docking at the port and taking out the apes stationed there. "The invasion has begun." Bahamut said. The image changed to show Ansem's face before them. "What's your report Ansem?" Sedro asked. "I've gathered the Elves and Dwarves like you asked. Turn out they own us for saving them." Ansem said. Sedro looked confused. "Saving them?" he asked. "Yes, you son and the others, freed most of the dwarven population in Keldor's Forge and the Elven in Zardus's Mountain. They think of this as a way to repay us for your actions." Ansem explained.
"Right, get them to the Palace, the invasion has begun. How fast can you get there?" Sedro asked. "Well, since the elves' boats can travel fast over the ocean with a gust of wind, I'd say…a few hours." Ansem said. "Well hurry it up; the invasion will begin once they hit the palace." Sedro told him. "Alright, we'll be there shortly." Ansem said and the vision faded.
"Well brother? Are you going to help us?" Sedro asked Bahamut. Bahamut thought about it for a minute. "Well, since I have nothing better to do now and I haven't seen my nephew in a long time. Why not?" Bahamut said. Sedro smiled at his brother. "Alright, get Leon too, if he's alright." Sedro said.
"Don't worry, I am." A voice said. They turned and saw Leon walking towards them; he had a bandage on his neck covering the wound he suffered. "Leon, I am sorry this happened, I thought you had died." Sedro apologized. "Don't worry, plus everyone thinks I'm dead, imagine their surprise when they see I'm not." Leon said with a smirk.
"Heh, looks like Leon learned a thing or two from my son." Sedro said to Bahamut. Bahamut and Leon both laughed at this comment. "Well, come on! We got a Palace to re-take." Leon said and took off. Sedro and Bahamut followed him; the three left the Tomb and flew towards the Palace.
