Let the Flames Flare!


"Man...I wonder where everyone is. We were all together one moment..." Asuka sighed.

"And then next everyone was gone." Ritsu finished, "It might because of the Guild Master on this island. He probably has some kind of magic that allowed him to separate us."

"But why?"

"Divide and conquer."

"Stupid..." Asuka pouted.

"Maybe, but heck it makes it easier for him and his Guild Members to take us down if they just pick us off one by one."

"Eh, I guess."

"So we should stay on our toes, just in case something happens." Ritsu warned.

"Don't worry, we'll be able to take them! Just some Dragon Slayers!" Asuka cheered.

"Yeah...but they can say the same about us." Ritsu replied, "So we have to stay on our toes no matter what?"

"Your boyfriend has made a pretty good point." A voice assured.

"Hmm?" Both Ritsu and Asuka turned around to see a man standing in the tree's above them. The man had spiked back blonde hair with a small tuft of hair in the front, with sapphire blue eyes, peach skin, and a lean well built body. He is wearing all silver armor.

"Who are you?" Asuka asked.

"My name is Ceaser." He informed, "And you two are part of Demigod are you not?" He asked.

"We are." Ritsu replied, "So...considering that you're a Dragon Heart member you want to fight us huh?"

"Oh you know I do!"

"But not by yourself!" A second voice broke out. Ritsu turned around, as Asuka kept her eyes on Ceaser. There was another man in the tree's. This man leapt down from the tree's. He had long black spiky hair that he kept in a pony tail that reached down to his ankles, with narrow yellow eyes. He is a fairy large man and well built muscular man. He is wearing a plain black tank to shirt, along with a pair of grey slacks, and black boots. He had a menacing smile etched upon his face revealing his fangs.

"Hey Kenshin." Ceaser waved.

"Hey there Ceaser! You were going to have all the fun without me weren't ya?" The man, now known as Kenshin, asked his fellow Dragon Heart member.

"Sorry, but I couldn't find your scent."

"It's fine, I was able to find you."

"So...you brought a friend huh?" Asuka asked, "Well that's fine with me!" She roared as her fist exploded into flames.

"Oh! Fire?! I think I'll handle her." Ceaser snickered.

"Go for it, guess that leaves me with this one." Kenshin smiled.

"Something you'll regret." Ritsu assured.

"We'll see."

"Guess it's time for me to relieve myself of this armor!" Ceaser took off his armor and revealed what he was underneath. He was wearing a large white coat with the collar raised, that has no sleeves, and a pair of black loose pants, with black boots. The shirt he wears underneath his jacket is sleeveless and white, with the Dragon Heart symbol in gold on his chest.

"Let's jump straight to it!" Asuka dashed towards Ceaser, "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" Ceaser smiled as he stuck one hand out and stopped Asuka's attack with his bare hand."

"What the-"

"Iron Fist..." Ceaser seemed to have started to take physical changes. His skin seemed to gain a scale like design while flames slowly began to emit from his eyes as he also grew taller and more muscular, "of the Dragon!" Ceaser replied driving his fist right into Asuka's stomach and sending her into the air.

"Asuka!" Ritsu shouted, "He's a Fire Dragon Slayer too?!"

"Worry about yourself right now! Iron Dragon's Roar!" Kenshin roared sending out a powerful roar of razor sharp iron that flew towards Ritsu. Ritsu quickly jumped back and side stepped the attack as it ripped through a tree behind him.

"Iron Dragons Scales!" Kenshin's whole body turned into iron as he rushed Ritsu.

"Wind Strike Armor!" Quickly Ritsu coated himself in his green wind armor and swung his halberd down at Kenshin. Kenshin raised his arm and blocked the attack with ease, he then swung his foot and slammed it right into the side of Ritsu. Ritsu felt the pain, but did his best not to react. Kenshin then did a backflip and spun as he landed a devastating punch to Ritsu.

"Grrr..." Ritsu skidded back from the attack and looked up to see Kenshin coming at him. Quickly Ritsu had vanished as Kenshin slammed into the ground hard.

"Hmph, you plan on using speed to beat me?" Kenshin asked as he whipped around and grabbed the base of Ritsu's halberd.

"How did you..."

"As a Dragon Slayer my sense are enhanced, and by training with Dragon Heart they have reached a level that you won't even believe!" Kenshin then drove his fist into Ritsu's face sending the knight flying back.

"Crap..."

"Iron Dragons Club!" Kenshin stuck one arm out and his arm turned into an iron club as it extended towards Ritsu.

"Earthquake Armor!" Ritsu quickly substituted his halberd for a pair of boots and gauntlets as he blocked the club. The attack seemed to still have pushed him back.

"Keyayayaya!" Kenshin laughed leaping in the air and extending both of his arms out, "Iron Dragons Twin Swords!" Two iron blades formed replacing Kenshin's arms and they both had razor like protrusions along the edges.

"Huhrah!" Ritsu threw a quick punch towards Kenshin as the blades and Ritsu's armor clashed. Kenshin swung his foot and smashed it against the face of Ritsu.

"Crap..." Ritsu muttered.


"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Both Asuka and Ceaser roared sending out two powerful tornados of flames as they exploded against each other. Asuka leaped in the air as she dove towards Ceaser.

"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" She called out.

"Fire Dragons Wing Attack!" Ceaser stuck one hand out and rushed passed Asuka as he slashed her with a wing of fire. Asuka grabbed her stomach as it was burnt from the attack. She looked over to see Ceaser simply standing as though he was not touched.

"Roar...of the Fire Dragon!" Ceaser turned around and sent out his flaming roar once more. Asuka dodged the attack and saw Ceaser rushing her once more.

"Fire Dragons Crushing Fang!" Ceaser roared his fist was ignited in flames and swung it down in an arc like motion. Asuka rolled back avoiding the strike as Ceaser's fist smashed into the ground and created a flaming crater.

"What the hell...how are you a Fire Dragon Slayer?"

"Easy...Lacrima. I'm a Second Generation Dragon Slayer, I can tell your not. But that won't matter for much longer." Ceaser leaped in the air and spun rapidly as his fist were engulfed in flames.

"Fire Dragons Wing Attack!" He shouted once more as he was spinning towards Asuka. Asuka quickly leaped out of the way and Ceaser quickly recovered then whipped around and clapped his hands together sending out a wave of flames. Asuka leaped in the air and looked down at Ceaser.

"Fire Dragons Crushing Fang!" She shouted as her fist was ignited in flames and diving down and swung her fist down in an arc. Ceaser stuck his chest out and flexed as Asuka's punch made contact, yet it had little to no effect.

"Let me show you...how a real Fire Dragons Crushing Fang is done!" Ceaser roared as he landed a flaming arching uppercut into Asuka sending her flying in the air.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Ceaser released another roar of flames. Asuka maneuvered herself in the air avoiding the oncoming attack. Once she landed on the ground she dashed towards Ceaser once more.

"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" Asuka tried to slam her fist into Ceaser again, but she had a back up plan. Once Ceaser let her strike him, and still seemed unaffected Asuka leaped up in his face.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" An explosion of flames erupted from Asuka's mouth and right into Ceaser's face. Though the flames seemed to begin to swirl around and slowly diminish.

"W-what..." Asuka's eyes widened.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Ceaser roared blasting Asuka in the chest as she was sent flying back and slammed back into a tree as the flames quickly devoured the tree around her as well.

"Fire Dragons Wing Attack!" Ceaser flew towards Asuka.

"Fire Dragons...Sword Horn!" Asuka's body erupted in flames as she propelled herself towards Ceaser and drove her head right into his chest.

"Hmm?" Ceaser looked down, and was quickly launched I the air by a pillar of flames. Ceaser just looked down and prepared his next attack.

"Fire Dragons Sword Horn!" Ceaser let the flaming pillar consume him, as he then used it to his advantage. He took a deep breath taking in the flames as he dove down at Asuka with his body coated in flames.

"Damn it!" Asuka thought, "I can't phase him!" Asuka did not know how to react as Ceaser came flying at a blinding speed.

"Fire Dragons Flame Elbow!" Asuka quickly exerted flames from her elbow giving her fist a boost. She drove her fist right into Ceaser's head. Ceaser stopped his attack and rubbed his head in pain, "That hurt!" He shouted right before kneeing Asuka in the chest and sending her high into the air. He grabbed Asuka by the neck then slammed her right back down.

"Stupid!" He shouted stomping on her chest.

"Augh!"

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" The two shouted, the two explosions from the flames blinded Ceaser.

"Whew!" Asuka quickly slipped away and looked on at Ceaser.

"Dragon Heart...this is your power..." She wondered, "These guys are in intense..."


"Roar of the Iron Dragon!" Kenshin roared and released a razor sharp iron tornado towards Ritsu.

"Wind Strike Armor!" Quickly Ritsu vanished and flew to the side of Kenshin. Kenshin ducked down avoiding Ritsu's blade then followed with an uppercut to his chin. Ritsu's head whipped back, and quickly he vanished.

"Don't think so!" Kenshin extended his arm out behind him grabbing Ritsu's collar. He then flipped Ritsu over his shoulder forcing him right into the ground. He stomped right on to Ritsu's chest.

"Guah!"

"Keyayayaya!" Kenshin laughed choking Ritsu and lifted him up in the air.

"Waterfall Armor!" Ritsu transformed and is now wielding two bladed tonfas. He swung them towards Kenshin who let the weapons bounce off his iron scales. He cocked his fist back and swung it towards Ritsu. Ritsu kicked off of Kenshin's fist pushing himself away.

"Fireblaze Armor!" Ritsu transformed into his flame armor now wielding two guns, "Volcanic Laser!" He shouted sending out two intense flames left his guns and clashed against Kenshins iron scales. Kenshin was pushed back from the force.

"Wind Strike Armor!" Quickly Ritsu turned into his wind armor and vanished, "Earthquake Armor!" Ritsu swung one fist out as he had covered in his Earthquake Armor Gauntlet and smashed it right into Kenshins face.

"Augh!" Kenshin was sent flying back and smashed right into a tree. As Ritsu's gauntlet disappeared he began to breath heavily.

"Huh...huh...seems like combining armors might be the only to beat him. But it's going to drain me..." Ritsu thought as he watched Kenshin hold his face in pain and stand with no issue at all.

"You kidding me?" Kenshin asked, "That's all?!"

"What the..." Ritsu was in slight shock that Kenshin seemed to have no trouble standing even from a direct strike from his Earthquake Armor gauntlet powered with the speed of his Wind Strike Armor.

"Iron Dragons Kunai!" Kenshin threw out various iron kunais towards Ritsu.

"Wind Strike Armor!" Ritsu began to dodge each and every strike with ease.

"Got'cha!" Kenshin shouted driving his fist right into Ritsu's head and sending him high into the air.

"This guy...is strong..."

"Roar of the Iron Dragon!" Kenshin roared.

"Damn it..." The Elemental Knight muttered. The blast ripped right into his abdomen and tore it up causing various gash marks to appear as though he had just been slashed down by an arsenal of swords. Ritsu hit the ground hard and Kenshin stood proud. He walked over and lifted Ritsu in the air by his throat.

"Keyayayaya!" the Iron Dragon Slayer laughed, "You're useless! Useless Demigod mages!" Ritsu gritted his teeth as blood flowed out of his body. Kenshin raised him higher into the air and stretched out his free arm, "Iron Dragons Sword!" A large iron chainsaw like blade appeared, the bladed points on the edge of the sword began to spin rapidly and quickly Kenshin slashed Ritsu's stomach causing blood to spray all over the Iron Dragon Slayer. Yet, he did not mind as Ritsu's eyes got wide and tossed the Elemental Knight to the floor.

"Uhh..."

"Now...that I'm done with you, I guess I'm going to go help Ceaser take down your little girlfriend...but hopefully he hasn't killed her yet. I want to have some fun before she dies." Kenshin licked his lips as he began to walk away.

"W-what...did you say?" Ritsu muttered as he struggled to push himself up from the ground.

"I said I plan on having some sick fun with that girl before she dies!" Kenshin shouted with a demonic look on his face, "She should suffice for now anyway, before I head back to your guys Guild Hall and take the rest of the young girls there as well!"

"You...you disgust me...you bastard..." Ritsu said finally reaching his feet.

"Oh yeah and what are you going to do about it?! You're bleeding out! No one's going to heal you! You're useless!"

"A-Am I? Shadow Death Armor!" Ritsu was cloaked in a large shadow right before he vanished.

"Don't worry...I can still sniff you out!" Kenshin turned to his side and stretched his arm out, but Ritsu wasn't there.

"Wind Strike Armor..." Ritsu muttered as he used his speed to appear behind Kenshin.

"Huh..." Kenshin noticed Ritsu was behind him, "Iron Dragon Spear Body!" He shouted as various spears quickly ejected from his body piercing Ritsu's body.

"You dead now boy!" Kenshin shouted excited at Ritsu's apparent death.

"Heavens Armor..." Ritsu muttered as he was now coated in his Armor of Light and wielded his double edged blade. He raised it as high as he could and slashed it through the spears that pierced his body and right into the back of Kenshin's back. The blade shredded the iron spears and shredded the iron on Kenshin's back and even deeply slashed the Iron Dragon Slayer's back. Kenshin dropped to his knees from the attack and Ritsu struggled to raise his blade above his head. He then slashed Kenshin once more from his shoulder all the way down to his waist. Blood sprayed from Kenshin's back as he fell face first into the ground. Ritsu then shoved his blade right into Kenshin's spine and pulled it out.

"C-Crap..." Ritsu quickly fell back to a knee and his armor had vanished off of his body, "A-Asuka..." He muttered looking on to see a raging fire not too far from him, "I-I'm coming..." Ritsu then stood to his struggling feet and began to drag himself over towards the fire.


"Huh...huh..." Asuka was breathing hard as Ceaser stood over her.

"Hmph, some kind of Fire Dragon Slayer you are. I would think that you'd provide more of a fight. I ate your fire, you ate my fire, we kept each other energized and I still came out on top. It doesn't make any sense." Ceaser sighed grabbing Asuka and lifting her by the remains of her shirt. He tossed her in the air and cocked his fist back.

"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!"

"Fire Dragons Sword Horn!" Asuka shouted as she quickly did a flip and had her body consumed in flames. She dove straight into Ceaser's chest. Ceaser skidded back from the attack, then punched Asuka in the back of the head.

"Gah!" Asuka coughed up blood from the attack.

"Stupid..." He muttered grabbing Asuka by the back of her neck and shook his head in same, "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Asuka opened her mouth and let the blast of fire rejuvenate her.

"Eating flames isn't going to help!" Ceaser kneed her in the ribs.

"Augh! T-That's what you think!" Asuka grinned as she looked at Ceaser through her bloodied eyes, "With a flame on the right hand...and a flame on the left hand...when you combine the flames together...Fire Dragons Brilliant Flame!" Asuka stretched out both hands as they were consumed by flames and slammed them together and hit Ceaser with a point blank massive fireball. The fireball exploded and caused Ceaser to go flying back. The explosion sent out a wave of flames that seemed to burn down just about any tree the flames touched.

"Huh...huh...huh..." Asuka stumbled back and prepared her next attack, "That's not going to keep him down...I have one shot to end this!" Asuka quickly charged forth towards Ceaser. Who was just staring to sit up after taking damage from the last attack.

"Damn..." He muttered scratching the back of his head, he then saw Asuka flying towards him.

"What now?" He asked himself.

"Crimson Lotus..." Asuka's hands were surrounded by large sphere's of light.

"Wait...she's using an Advanced Spell now!?" Ceaser's eyes widened.

"Fire Dragons Fist!" Asuka roared as she released a relentless barrage of punches that exploded with flames after each punch.

"Grraaaahhhh!" Ceaser was a victim to the barrage of punches as the explosive power was starting to become overwhelming with each and every increasing strike.

"Hhhaaaaaaaaa!" Asuka cried out as she landed one final punch and released a devastating blast of flames that sent Ceaser flying back.

"Huh...huh...huh..." Asuka dropped to her knee's. The trail of flames in front of her seemed promising. She smiled slightly feeling as though it was over.

"M-Man..." She heard a voice, and had hoped it was Ritsu coming back from his fight. How wrong she was.

"That spell is pretty explosive...but it's still not as good as this one...Crimson Lotus..." Ceaser's hands were outstretched and consumed by flames.

"W-what..." Asuka's eyes widened.

"Exploding Flame Blade!" The Fire Dragon Slayer roared as he propelled himself towards a kneeling Asuka and began to spin sending out a spiral of flames. As he flew past her the flames exploded upon contact. The burning explosion that erupted consumed Asuka and her body was left burnt as she slowly fell face first into the ground.

"Now...it's over." Ceaser sighed.

"A-Asuka?!" Ritsu shouted as he had just witnessed Ceaser's final strike to Asuka.

"R-Ritsu...I-I'm sorry...I-I couldn't defeat him..." Tears flowed from Asuka's eyes as she saw Ritsu who was also beaten and bruised.

"Hmph...so you defeated Kenshin? What a shame, though at the same time it seems as though you just barely escaped." Said Ceaser looking over to Ritsu.

"Y-You...you did that to Asuka?!" Ritsu roared as his magical pressure began to increase.

"Eh, more or less." Ceaser shrugged.

"Y-you bastard!" Ritsu snapped. Ceaser turned to fully face Ritsu.

"Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about it?!" Ceaser asked some what confident in his abilities to defeat another Demigod mage, "That last girl seemed to have barely do any damage to me. I'll give her credit for using that Crimson Lotus spell though, that actually had done something. But not enough, and you're here pretty much on the verge of death. How long do you plan on fighting me? Until more back up shows up? I'm afraid most of your people are probably occupied fighting somebody else." Ceaser yawned.

"H-Heavens Armor!" Ritsu called forth his armor of light and flew towards Ceaser.

"Fire Dragons Crushing Fang!" Ceaser's fist was coated in flames as he swung it upwards in an uppercut like motion. As Ritsu closed in Ceaser grinned as he took a knee down to the ground to just barely avoid Ritsu's blade, which was thrusted towards his face. The Dragon Slayer then exploded off of his feet and drove his fist right into Ritsu's jaw.

"Graaahhh!" Ritsu exploded high into the air as a trail of flames followed him.

"Hehe...let the flame flare..." Ceaser smiled as Ritsu had hit the ground. He just looked and smiled as the flames around him began to consume the earth itself. And now all he had to do, was wait. To make sure the flames burned the corpses of two Demigod mages.
