The Force of Nature!


"So..." Kali smiled looking across the mountain terrain to find her opponent. Who was...playing with a green Yoyo. Her opponent appeared to have been around the same age as Kali herself, she seemed to stand around possibly five feet ten inches, and yet has a very curvy and skinny body. She has long red silky hair that compliments her greenish teal eyes. She is currently wearing a white jacket that had the Yin Yang logo on the back, underneath she wore a black t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, blue shoes, a silver bracelet on her left hand, and finally an emerald cross necklace.

"Hey, my names Ren Ryuga." The Dragon Heart mage smiled at Kali. Kali just kind of looked at Ren with a raised eyebrow.

"So your with Dragon Heart?"

"Yup." She smiled.

"And I'm from Demigod...so you know what that means?" Kali asked.

"I know I know, we got to fight. Though I'd prefer to just play with my yoyo." Ren shrugged.

"So you're saying you don't want to fight?" Kali's eye twitched slightly.

"Kind of." Ren said with a smile. Quickly getting a punch to the face by Kali. Ren was sent skidding back.

"F that!" Kali shouted.

"Ouch!" Ren rubbed her bloddied nose, "What the heck was that for? It wasn't very nice!"

"Maybe because you hurt one of my friends! And for that we are going to fight! So F you for not trying to fight me!" Kali shouted, "Blade Dancing!" Kali smiled as her clothes quickly began to change. Soon she was dressed in a pair of large loose golden pants with various black designs on the legs, with her feet wrapped up in bandages, then on top was a golden bikini top with black designs as well. In both of her hands she held two golden ringed chakrams with silver bladed edges.

"Man..." Ren stood up and continued to play with her yoyo. Kali then charged right at Ren. Ren jumped back and avoided the attack as Kali slashed a boulder in half.

"You don't want to fight, trust me. You'll regret it!" Ren smiled still playing with her yoyo as she landed on the ground gracefully.

"If it means getting payback for what you did to Kihone then I really don't care!" Kali rushed towards Ren. Ren sighed as Kali threw one of her chakrams at her. Ren ducked the attack, but looked up to find Kali with her second one being swung upwards towards her shoulder. Ren's eyes widened as she quickly leaned back to avoid the strike that would have easily dealt some serious damage to Ren. Kali then kicked Ren right in the chest knocking her back on her butt. Kali's thrown chakram came back to her as she stood over Ren.

"Huh...guess I'm left with no choice." Ren sighed as she threw her yoyo up and smacked Kali in the chin.

"Ouch! What the heck?!" Kali shouted.

"Nature Dragons Roar!" Ren took in a deep breath and a burst of emerald exploded from her mouth as it spiraled with fire, wind, water, and wood. Kali quickly leaned back avoiding the attack and did several backflips to get away from the roar. She then watched as it ripped into the sky.

"I tried to tell you." Ren jumped up and looked over at her opponent.

"Nature Dragon huh? Well that's something that I find really different and interesting a compared to Zane's White Dragon Magic." Kali snickered.

"Nature Dragons Claws!" Ren placed her yoyo in her pocket as she coated her hands in an emerald like aura. She leaped in the air and came down onto Kali. Kali side stepped the attack, but Ren quickly slashed her hand across the stomach of Kali. blood flew out from the Demigod mage's stomach. Kali raised her blade in the air and swung it down.

"Heavens Descending Wheel!" Kali cried out as her blade came down, but Ren moved out of the way.

"Nature Dragons Kick!" Ren coated her feet in an emerald like magic as she charged Kali. Quickly she swung one leg up towards Kali's chin.

"Heavens Wind Circle!" Kali quickly swung her chakrams down out in front of her sending out a shield of wind.

"Hmph..." Ren smiled as she brought her attacking leg down and stomping it on the ground, she then swung around her other leg slamming it right into Kali's ribs.

"Augh!" Kali sprayed blood out from her mouth gritting her teeth from the attack. Ren curled her fist up and took aim.

"Nature Dragons Fist!" A force of Nature magic could be seen at the base of Ren's knuckles as she swung her fist upwards slamming it right into Kali's chin. Kali was knocked into the air.

"Heavens Razor Twister!" Kali quickly used her momentum in the air and began to pick up speed spinning rapidly. She then flew down towards Ren. Ren took out her yoyo and began to play with.

"Nature Dragons Tail!" Ren flung her yoyo out at Kali as it was quickly coated it Nature Dragon Magic. Kali quickly reacted and spun out of the way. Kali was now off target, so she halted to a stop by sliding on the ground. She reeled her body to one side.

"Death Shredder!" Kali began spinning rapidly like a top as she moved towards Ren. Ren looked over and dashed forwards. Ren had stuck out one hand as she closed on in with Kali. Quickly she stuck one hand out and smiled as it had an emerald green tint. She swung her arm upwards and from it a win of wood, water, wind, fire, and earth was sent slashing right into Kali. Kali skidded back from the impact.

"Nature Dragons Wing Attack." Ren smiled, "Sorry but I don't think this is going to go the exact way that you would have wished." Ren put her yoyo away once again and stuck one hand out, "Nature Dragons Sword!" Suddenly the dirt began to raise and formed a blade, while the hilt seemed to have to be made out of wood, around the blade a streak of fire was revealed.

"Ha!" Ren swung her sword at Kali. The water within the blade extended out towards Kali.

"What the hell!" Kali side stepped the attack barely avoiding it.

"Explode!" Ren shouted as the flames quickly exploded causing Kali to goy flying back.

"D-Damn it..." Kali gritted her teeth from the attack.

"Sorry..." Ren said again as her blade came back, "But again!" Ren swung her sword out towards Kali. Kali stood up and avoided the slash of the sword. Kali ran in as quick as she could towards Ren hoping to close the gap.

"Don't think I'll let you land the same strike twice!"

"I don't need you too..." Ren shook her head, "Nature Dragons Scales!" In a flash Ren's Nature Dragons Sword was gone. And now the blade seemed to have formed around her. Wood had wrapped around her feet, earth armor covered her whole upper body and stopped around her collar bone as it appeared as though a sphere of wind had been swirling around her head, on her left hand it was coated in water, while the right was coated in flames. She cocked her flamed fist back as Kali had finally closed the distance, much to Kali's dismay upon the realization.

"Ha!" With a blazing fist Kali felt the flames burn right into her abdomen and sent her flying. Ren stuck her left hand out as the water extended out and wrapped around Kali. She raised Kali in the air and slammed her back down into the ground.

"Guah!" Kali coughed up blood from the impact.

"Huh...huh...huh..." Kali was breathing hard from the beat down.

"I tried to warn you...I'm stronger than you thought..." Ren pouted, "And I didn't even really wanna fight."


Kihone and Cynthia were running in the forest when something had caught their eyes.

"Cynthia what's that?!" Kihone asked pointing to a large fire burning in the forest.

"Fire...that can only be...oh no! Kihone we have to hurry!" Cynthia grabbed Kihone's hand and kept running straight towards the flames.


"Seems like this fire isn't burning fast enough...it's kind of pissing me off." Ceaser sighed as he stood up and cracked his knuckles, "Guess I'll finish them off my damn self." As the Fire Dragon Slayer stood up he walked over to the fallen body of Ritsu, "You first..." He muttered.

"Ceaser stop!"

"Hmm?" Ceaser looked over to see Cynthia, with Kihone, running into the flames.

"Cynthia? I see you've brought a tribute to my flames huh? I can't thank you enough." Ceaser smiled, "But let me finish this guy off first okay?" Ceaser cocked back his free fist.

"Ritsu no!" Kihone shouted.

"Damn it!" Cynthia muttered, "Music Dragons Roar!" In an instant a purple spiraling wind blew through the flames and blasted right into the flaming fist of Ceaser. The flames remained, but Ceaser had dropped Ritsu and hung his head.

"Really?" He asked turning to face Cynthia, "You've sided with the Demigod huh? Well... figured somebody would, but never really saw you as the traitor type. Even as nice as you are." Ceaser cracked his neck, "Guess I get to burn you along side your little friends!"

"White Storm!" Kihone jumped in front of Cynthia and sent out a powerful blast of snow that pushed Ceaser a few inches back.

"So...you're going to have her fight for you Cynthia?" Ceaser rolled his eyes in annoyance, "I'll kill her first then you!"

"Cynthia! I'll hold him off, please just go heal Ritsu and Asuka. We're going to need them for this fight!" Kihone cried.

"No! Please, you can't fight Ceaser! He's one of the Top Three Mages in our Guild aside from out Master!"

"Top Three?" Kihone asked.

"Yeah...Top Three..." Ceaser snickered, "I'm only number three, even though as a Second Generation Dragon Slayer I'm pretty powerful. Above me is Ren Ryuga. Even though she is young, her Nature Dragon Slayer Magic is incredibly destructive considering the number of elements it includes in one. And then above her...is him...The First Generation...the strongest next to the Guild Master. Even I fear his power..." Ceaser admitted. He then looked at Cynthia, "You know I'm talking about Cynthia...and you know...how strong he is...you know what he can do. And you better know...that he is here."

"S-shut up...you're lying!" Cynthia shouted.

"Am I?" Ceaser asked, "But that's beside the point..."

"Cynthia go ahead and tend to Ritsu and Asuka. I'll hold him off..."

"Kihone...he's powerful, you still might not be one hundred percent!"

"I can tell how strong he is...he defeated Asuka. Using the same magic too...but still. I can't let my Guild down...not anymore!" Kihone charged straight towards Ceaser. Cynthia just watched as Kihone ran fearlessly into battle. She then looked over to the fallen Demigod mages. She walked over and pulled Ritsu and Asuka off to the side besides a tree. She placed her hands over Asuka first.

"Lunar Song!" Quickly a light enveloped Asuka and the healing process began. Cynthia then watched the battle ensue.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Ceaser roared, but Kihone rolled out of the way avoiding the attack. She looked up and cocked one hand back.

"Snow Bomb!" She threw a snow ball straight at Ceaser, and it exploded I his face coating his eyes in snow.

"Stupid snow..." Ceaser muttered as the snow quickly melted.

"White Fang!" Kihone conjured up a sword made of snow and slashed it across the chest of Ceaser. Ceaser cocked his fist back to punch Kihone, who quickly maneuvered out of the way. Ceaser spun around swinging his leg towards Kihone. She swung her sword down, but it broke upon contact and was sent blasted right into a tree.

"Ah!" She cried out.

"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" Ceaser cocked his fist back. Kihone ducked down as his fit missed. She ran to the side and leaped up in the air aiming straight for Ceaser's head.

"White Rocket!" Kihone cried out as a snow made rocket shot out from her hands blasting and exploding onto Ceaser's head. Ceaser skidded back from the strike and growled in anger.

"Ceaser!" A voice cried out. Kihone turned around, and there Angie had appeared.

"Angie!" Cynthia shouted.

"Cynthia?" Angie raised an eyebrow.

"Angie...Cynthia has betrayed us...she allies herself with Demigod now."

"W-what...but Cynthia...why? How?!" Angie asked quickly becoming tearful.

"I'm sorry Angie...but I do have a reason..."

"No! You were my friend! And now you betray our Guild for another?! Dragon Heart is our friends! Our family! Our home!" Angie cried.

"A-Angie..." Cynthia closed her eyes and kept healing Asuka.

"Stop her from healing while I handle this brat!" Ceaser ordered.

"C-Cynthia..." Angie hung her head as tears rolled down her face.

"Angie! Do it!" Ceaser ordered.

"White Storm!" Kihone blasted Angie with a blast of snow. Angie was sent crashing through a tree.

"Oh! So you wish to take on two Dragon Hearts at once huh?!" Ceaser shouted, "You'll regret this child!" Ceaser cocked his fist back and aimed dead for Kihone. Kihone's eyes widened seeing no escape or having enough time to react and counter or to move.

"Don't think so!" Suddenly Ceaser's fist was stopped.

"Huh...huh...got here...just in time."

"Nate!" Kihone smiled.

"Hey, Ki!" Nate smiled, "I suggest you cover that girl who's helping us. Take out the other mage and I'll handle this guy." Nate assured, who is currently in his Halphas Form.

"A Demon?" Ceaser raised an eyebrow, "Somebody didn't finish their job...but I will.."

"You hear me Ki!" Nate shouted, "Go handle the other one!"

"Right!" Kihone looked in the direction of Angie who was struggling to stand, "We have some unfinished business anyway!"


Ren tossed Kali to the ground and groaned.

"Uhhh..." Kali looked up to Ren as she tried to force herself up, "I'm going to defeat you! Heavens Twin Scythes!" Kali threw both of her chakrams, but Ren easily avoided them. Ren then turned around and stuck out her left hand as the water stretched out and caught both the chakrams. Ren pulled them to her and threw them back in front of Kali.

"Sorry...I didn't want to fight, even told my Master I didn't want. But he did say...if I did then I have to make sure the job is done. So that I promised him." Ren sighed, "I'm sorry...but you did try your best..." Ren cocked her fist back, "Nature Dragons Fist!" As soon as she was about to strike Ren turned around and swung her fist behind her as it clashed with a blade. Kali's eyes widened in an instant.

"Jin!" She cried out.

"Heh...hey.." He gritted through his teeth. He was in his Susanoo Armor. Jin's current armor is rather unique in appearance. It consists of a black body suit with a large collar and the traditional, black colored hakama present, ballooning pants, and black steel-toed boots. His arms, shoulders, waist, shoulder blades, shoes, and the calves of his hakama are covered in white armor plates, all of which have at least two fully-functional crimson red eyes with slit pupils that are used to intimidate his enemy. He is currently wielding a Nodachi-type weapon with a five-foot blade with a blunted tip, a gold magatama shaped guard, a red hilt, and golden pommel with a blue jewel imbedded into it as well.

"Saw some of the damage and ruckus you were creating...figured I'd come ad help you out." Jin smiled.

"S-shut up..." Kali blushed.

"You seem to be holding off pretty well against my Nature Dragon Scales." Ren smiled, "But not for long!" She then spun around and kicked Jin in his chest.

"Guah!" Jin coughed up blood from this strike.

"I'm still pretty weak from my last fight...this is going to take more out of me than I thought..." Jin then charged Ren. Ren cocked her fist back, but noticed that Kali was now standing. As Jin got closer Ren leaped in the air, only to be followed by the two.

"Nature Dragons Roar!"

"Watch out Jin!" Kali shouted and quickly the two avoided the emerald roar as it tore through the ground.

"That's not going to stop us!" Jin swung his sword and a wave of wind slashed right into Ren's earth armor.

"Heavens Twin Scythes!" Kali threw her chakrams and they slashed right into Ren's armor, and then did it once more on their way back.

"Crap!" Ren muttered as the trio descended to the ground. Ren de-armorized and looked at the Demigod mages.

"Two on one?" She smirked, "Fair enough considering one of you is hurt already." Ren smiled, "So...now I can go full out right?" Ren's magical pressure slowly began to increase and she extended both arms out with a smile on her face.

"Prepare yourself...whatever she has planned...it can't be good." Kali warned.

"Kind of figured..."

"Secret Dragon Slaying Art..." Ren muttered.

"Crap!" The two mages shouted.


"Huh...huh...huh..." Angie and Kihone were tired as they looked at each other drained from their magic and were barely able to stand.

"Hmph..." Kihone had a slight smile on her face.

"Why you smiling?!" Angie asked angered.

"Last time we fought it was the middle of the night and you had the advantage, but not now! Now it's fair and you don't seem so strong now huh?!"

"Shut your mouth!" Angie dashed towards Kihone. Kihone leaped up in the air avoiding the attack, but Angie quickly turned around and threw a hard punch. Kihone leaned back avoiding the strike and kicked Angie in the stomach.

"Guah!" Angie skidded back and looked back to see Cynthia still healing Asuka.

"Why...why do you help them?" Angie thought. Kihone saw this as her opportunity, it was time for her to end this. Kihone then leaped in the air and dove down at Angie.

"Take this!" Kihone shouted as a magic circle had appeared in front of her fist.

"Hmm?" Angie turned around and took a step back as Kihone drove her fist right into the ground.

"That was it?" Angie asked with an eyebrow raised.

"White Forest!" Kihone removed her hand to reveal the magic circle on the ground and in an instant various snow spear like pillars exploded up and pierced Angie. Angie's mouth as dropped. Kihone stood up, knowing Angie wasn't dead, but was satisfied with knowing that Angie would not recover from that attack. She the looked over to see Nate battling Ceaser. She then darted her eyes towards Cynthia healing Asuka.

"White Storm!" Once again a blat of snow blasted Ceaser knocking him to his knees.

"Huh?" Ceaser turned around to see Kihone, tired and drained.

"You still wish to fight me!"

"No Ki!" Nate struggled to face off against Ceaser, but had to. He was able to weaken Ceaser. But it wasn't going to be enough.

"Die!" Ceaser dashed forwards with his fist cocked back. Cynthia watched as Ceaser's fist had been cocked back and engulfed in flames.

"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" He roared.

"N-No..." A voice muttered. Cynthia ignored the voice, not realizing it was Asuka who was conscious and forcing herself to sit up.

"Music Dragons Roar!" Cynthia sent out the purple roar blasting Ceaser's fist. Causing him to be angered.

"All of you! Every single one of you! I'm tired of all this! I want all of you to die!" Ceaser took a deep breath and all the flames around him began to swirl. But the flames weren't going to him. Cynthia looked to her side to see Asuka taking in a deep breath as well, while the flames seemed to have all entered her mouth. She began to stand while taking in the flames and self regenerated herself.

"Asuka!" Nate and Kihone shouted cheerfully.

"You...still dare to breath!" Ceaser roared. Asuka had finally consumed all the flames and stood at one hundred percent.

"I'm ending this now..." Asuka promised, yet knowing she still wasn't strong enough to take on Ceaser. Even though she FELT one hundred percent, her body was still saying different.

"Fine...I'll kill you for good this time!" Ceaser growled.

"I...I need more power to take him..." Asuka muttered as she stood out in front of Cynthia, "He's still too strong..." Cynthia noticed Asuka's legs shaking. Yet, Asuka fought through it and seemed ready to activate her next spell.

"C-Crimson L-Lotus..." Asuka cocked both of her fists as they were consumed by flames.

"I have to help!" Cynthia thought and placed both of her hands out in front of her, "Solar Song!" Cynthia sent out a light orange tinted aura of magic that flowed into Asuka and quickly increased her power. Asuka's magic exploded into a roaring flames.

"So! You think that spell will work against me now! I doubt it!" Ceaser roared, "Fire Dragons Iron Fist!"

"Fire Dragons Fist!" Asuka roared as she ducked Ceaser's punch, and in a flash a barrage of flaming meteor like fists clashed into Ceaser's abdomen. His eyes widened upon the first punch as it felt stronger than the last time she had hit him with this move. Ceaser's eyes quickly looked down to see Cynthia supplying Asuka with more magical power thanks to her Solar Song Spell.

"You!" He thought as Asuka embedded her fists into his abdomen and slowly destroyed it.

"It...is...OVER!" Asuka roared delivering the final punch which created a large explosion that sent Ceaser flying through the forest, with a trail of fire that burned the ground, and the flames themselves seemed to have incinerated right through Ceaser's torso leaving a gaping and burnt hole in his solar plexus. Asuka dropped to her knees, and quickly Nate and Kihone joined their friends side.

"W-we...we did it..." Asuka muttered as she was once again drained from her magic. Cynthia just looked on and thought:

"Even with everything going against them...they still fought...Zane...you have some pretty awesome friends." Causing her to smile.


"Eternal Bonds: Nature Dragons Wrath!" As her body exploded in Nature Dragon Slayer magic Ren rushed the duo. The real battle had begun. Ren landed a devastating combination of attacks on Jin, while also avoiding his blade. At the same time she also began to beat down Kali and avoided her attacks. The most powerful of this rushing attack was Ren's kicks. Each one caused one of the mages to really fall to their knees, but had to stand to fight.

"Ha!" Ren leaped back and sent out a more powerful version of her Nature Dragons Roar. The flames, rocks, water, wind, and wood came flying towards the two.

"Heavens Wind Circle!" Kali quickly conjured up the wind to block the attack, but the roar broke through with ease. Jin then jumped in the way and prepared to block the attack with his sword. Though he was unsuccessful. The two were sent flying back from the roar. Ren then took to the skies as she raised her leg high above her and came flying down towards the two.

"Watch out!" Jin pushed Kali out of the way, and he moved as well. Ren had landed an axe kick that caused a large shockwave to surge through the ground. Jin looked over to see the crater and how deep it was. He was shocked. Once he stood up to witness it, Ren had already jumped out.

"Looks like I missed." She said with a slight smile on her face, "Oh well! Secret Dragon Slaying Art: Eternal Bonds-Nature Blast!" She then shot an orb of Nature Dragon Magic right into Jin. The orb smashed into his chest, then shattered. The explosion sent him flying back as his blood bursted from his body.

"Jin!" Kali shouted.

"Secret Dragon Slaying Art: Eternal Bonds- Vengeful Forest!" In a blinding instant Kali had fallen to her knees once more as Ren held her magic imbued yoyo in her hand with a smile etched on her face still.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

"D-Damn it..." Jin struggled to stand as he looked over to see Kali down as well.

"Man...Demigod isn't as strong as I thought..." Ren pouted.

"S-Shut up!" Jin stood with the help of his sword.

"Oh, so you think you can still stand huh?" Ren continued to play with her yoyo, "Let me end that!" She shouted, "Secret Dragon Slaying Art: Eternal Bonds- Vengeful Forest!"

"No!" Jin dashed forward deflecting Ren's yoyo and once he got close he slid on his knees slashing his sword across the stomach of Ren.

"Guah!" She cried out as blood sprayed from her body. Ren looked down with wide eyes, "No one's...done that before..." She muttered. Jin ended up right next to Kali and helped her up.

"We have to find a way to end this..." Jin sighed breathing heavy, "I'm drained...they're much much stronger than we could have imagined."

"I-I can see that...b-but how..." Kali asked.

"Unison Raid..." Jin said wishing he hadn't.

"Unison Raid...but we've never done that before..." Kali pointed out.

"Yeah...I know...but our magic's should be similar enough right? We have to try..." Jin stood up and had his blade at the ready. Kali stood up and prepared herself as well.

"H-how do we even..." She wanted to ask.

"Okay..." Ren turned around and cracked her neck, "I need to finish this...Dragon...Force..." With those words an explosion of magic roared from Ren's body as the emerald green energy flowed out of her. Slowly she gained a scale like design etched upon her body. The emerald magic seemed to have been focused into her legs. She raised her leg above her head.

"Jin what do we do?! She's using Dragon Force! We haven't even seen Zane do that!"

"We have to think of something!" Jin shouted, "Come on Kali!"

"Heavens..." Kali closed her eyes and threw her chakrams out in front of her. The two chakrams floated in front of them and Jin stood behind them as he could see through the holes and brought his sword back.

"We have to give it all we got!" Jin shouted.

"Unison Raid!" The duo cried out.

"True Nature!" Ren shouted back as all of the emerald magic had left her body and had been concentrated into her single raised leg.

"Heavens..." Kali muttered as she stood behind Jin with her arms outstretched and placed on his back letting her magic flow into him.

"The..." Ren smiled as she began to play with her yoyo knowing it was over.

"Blade..." Jin continued.

"End!" Ren slammed her foot in the ground and in an instant an explosion roared through out the earth.

"Of Susanoo!" In synch both Jin and Kali shouted as Jin thrusted his sword through the center of both of Kali's chakrams. The blade released a shocking blast of magic that appeared in the form of a large sword tip. The blast overcame Ren, but at the same time her attack was more than enough to create a massive fiery explosion that came up and consumed both Jin and Kali. The two attacks had ripped through the mountain, and had actually leveled the mountain the Mages stood on. Their fight...was over.
