Ophis turned to osore. "I'll let you think on that...but what i said still stands."
Osore nodded as ophis disappeared.
Everyone turned to osore.
The young man sighed before he looked back on the horizon to see his home in ruins and he was gonna fix it after all he was the prince of darkness.
"Well based on the time Zero left it should take him a while to get there 'if' ophis chooses to be nice and buy us some time but that being said let's go."
Everyone looked at him confused.
"Go where?"
"Where do you think Lil I've gotta fix my kingdom, sit on my throne then maybe get a bite to eat."
Everyone looked at Osore with a blank deadpan stare.
He laughed a bit.
"Listen to me I'm starting to sound like Zero now."
Hasuki chuckled after her little brother.
"Hasuki doesn't think that's bad at all."
Dark realm kingdom
The inside of the castle was nicer than they all expected. There was a throne with two seats next to it one on the left and one on the right. The walls had picture of osore's father in his prime with his wife and children. As osore walked over to the throne his spell book floated in front of him and glowed brightly. Everyone shielded their eyes. When the light dies down there was a hologram of osore's father standing in front of him.
Klarion smiled
"If you are seeing this its means jedhadia destroyed the hoodie."
Osore and hasuki were in shock but the hologram kept speaking.
"It is time for you to unlock your true power, my son, you must merge with your dark half"
Osore didn't wanna do that it was bad enough they agreed sometimes. He also has felt the blood lust of his darkness whenever it took over. He didn't wanna be like that.
Osore looked at the hologram of his father.
"How though"
he thought
"Once you sit on the throne everything will make sense. Trust me my son if you can merge with your darkness then you will have complete control over your powers and will become the true prince of darkness. the other two thrones are for your sister and executioner, i hope you found yourself a judge. knowing how the realm was left I doubt you'll have one but still good luck my son."
One the last word klarion disappeared.
Osore didn't move an inch until lily, haze, akeno and even vail pushed him forward
"Go on"
Haze said
"Yeah we didn't come all this way for nothing"
Vail said smiling.
Osore sighed as he walked forward and sat down.
Once he was completely seated he felt his dark side slowly begin to merge with his consciousness. It hurted. His dark side really didn't wanna become one yet because it was fighting and screaming. Osore winced in pain but he stayed strong.
"I don't wanna do this either but we can't get what we want if we don't"
Osre thought.
Once his dark side slowly calmed down and started to fade into his conscious making them one. there was a huge wave of darkness that washed over everyone that then slowly absorbed back into osore. Osore opened his eyes and everyone was surprised they were still blue.
"Did it work?"
Akeno asked
Osore looked at her
"You tell me"
He said but instead of sounding like two voices he had his own voice only it was deeper and stronger. Osore got off his throne and walked past them as a dark aura raidated of him. He stood out on the balcony swiping his hand in front of him as the entire realm started to shift and change. The city began to expand as more buildings were created. The waste land turned into huge arena and the realm itself grew bigger as everything began to shake and everyone could see the realm starting to mimic the look of the human world.
Osore turned and looked at haze and akeno.
"The prince of darkness is allowing you akeno to be his judge and you haze to be his executioner do you accept?"
Haze proceed to laugh close to the point of losing air before she stopped.
This caused everyone to look at her confused before she dried her eyes.
"I just find it funny that's all. I told you I marked you and that means I follow you wherever plus I'll get a chance to cut loose and really fight."
Akeno eyed haze off to the side before a playful smile adorned her face.
"Ara, Ara, You really are a bold dragon aren't you but that being said I think if I'm your judge I'll be able to 'punish' those who have done wrong~."
Osore smiled for a second but it quickly turned into a satisfied smirk.
"Good"
He responded. Then standing up straight he held his left arm out at akeno.
"Go report to rias"
He said in an uppity tone.
A black portal opened behind akeno which then engulfed her as she disappeared..
Osore then looked at everyone who seemed a little on edge due to osore's demeanor change just now even haze.
"Don't worry I have complete control over myself now"
He ensured them.
Vail smirked and then complased on the floor passed out.
Lily ran to his side.
"I've been waiting for him to do that"
Osore said.
At first lily got pissed at osore's words she glared at him but her gaze softened.
"He's a lot like you and zero...never knows when to quit.
"Hmpf, well ...you two stay here"
Osore told her.
"What why!"
Osore sighed
"Look at the state he's in"
osore said pointing at vail.
"Speaking of which"
He continued turning to haze.
"You stay here too you need rest as well"
Osore turned to walk out to the balcony.
"Come on sis"
Wait!" lily cried "you still haven't said where you're going".
Osore walked to the edge of the balcony.
"My sis and i have to go let the locals know the prince has returned"
He said as he jumped off the balcony and began to surf on darkness.
Hasuki smiled.
"Right!"
She ran forward as her blade appeared in her hand and threw it. It reached next to osore and hasuki disappeared. sHe appeared next to osore holding the dagger as she then began to skate on darkness next to her brother as they headed towards the new constructing city.
What surprised Osore was that the city no the entire realm was rebuilding itself on its own. It was as if the realm itself was responding to osores will.
Hasuki chuckled at her little brothers amazement before she rested her bust atop his head confusing him.
"Sis why are your breasts on top of my head?"
Hasuki chuckled at her brothers confusion.
"Hehe. I use to do this all the time little bro and you'd always get so embarrassed it makes me laugh."
Osore blushed as it sounded like something he'd do. As both siblings landed in the middle of the city osore noticed the citizens had stopped fighting and were looking in amazement..
The city grew in size since osore first got here but that didn't get him distracted.
Although osore didn't know what to say.
"Come on osore your the true prince of darkness say something"
He thought
Then to his surprise everyone turned and faced him…...there was a woman with red eyes and long brown hair in a ponytail
"Lord osore has returned!"
She called out loud.
At first no one reacted until the same woman walked over to osore and smacked him.
"How could you leave us prince. We've waited well over centuries for your return but you choose NOW to return have you no shame! I doubt there's any honor left in your body!"
All the other citizens roared in agreement.
Osore rubbed his cheek something she said bothered him.
"Wait centuries what do you mean?"
Hasuki skipped in front of her brother with a sad look in her amber eyes.
"Little brother time passes differently in this realm than out there. How it works is one day out there is equal to 5 years here and considering how long you were gone…"
Osore's eyes almost burst out of his head as it dawned on him how long the people had gone under the rule of Jedahdia.
Osore shook his head.
"It wasn't my idea my father sent me away with our mother"
Osore said
The woman eyes softened as a tear formed in her eye.
"So long we have waited."
The woman then rushed osore and gave him a hug that turned into a sob
"We need you. don't leave us again!"
Osore embraced the women's hug however if he wanted to stop Zero's rampage and prevent him from going to jail he was going to have to leave again which he knew would only upset the people but he knew that Zero had people like lefay and lilith who were waiting for him to come back.
"I know you don't like this but I have to leave again, that monster that was destroying the realm is a major threat to this realms recreation."
All the eyes of the citizen went wide.
"You'd leave us again to fight that THING."
the women called.
Before osore could respond his sister stepped in front of him.
"That THING is his brother he has to fight him."
One of the citizens scowled at her statement.
"So our prince is putting the value of some stranger over his kingdom oh how mature."
"Shut up."
Everyone turned to see Lily trying to stop Vali.
"Vali please sit down."
"I'm fine Lily."
"No you're not! Your ribs are still busted up not to mention you lost some blood! Please I'm worried about you!"
Vali scoffed at her statement.
"I'm fine, besides I'm not the white dragon emperor for nothing."
Hasuki then cupped vali's cheek as she looked into his blue eyes softly full of concern and love.
"Vali please sit down."
Vali sighed before he took a seat as Hasuki sat in his lap and to the surprise of Osore and Lily he didn't complain or scowl he just let it happen.
He then continued to speak.
"You all act as if osore had any say so in everything that has happened."
Osore turned to vail.
He couldn't believe he was actually sticking up for hm.
"Once osore has finished up his business in the other world i'm sure he will return."
Osore thought about that. After everything that has happened, he wasn't sure he was ready to return and rule this kingdom. His people already looked down on him and thought he didn't care about them which was completely untrue. This was osore's story, no matter what he did he still seemed to fuck up
He turned to hasuki.
"If a day in other world is five years here then what is a day here in other world?"
Hasuki blushed as she scooted closer in vali's lap as she answered her little brother.
"I day in here is about 10 hours out there give or take a few hours."
Osore sighed he at least wanted to spend a day in his home but with zero in that state other world didn't have a few hours. Darkness seeped out from osore and formed a complete look a like of osore.
"You stay here and watch the realm well i go handle zero"
Lily was confused.
"Are you sure making a double of yourself wont drain you the longer its out"
Osore smirked he wasn't worried about being drained he felt like he could take on the armies of heaven and hell by himself.
"Don't worry lil"
He then turned to his people.
"You can hate me if you want but I have to go for now"
He then swiped his hand in front of him as a portal opened sucking in him and the others along with him.
Japan;Kuoh
The berserking Zero just arrived in Kuoh as a sick smile was on his face as he began to float up and let out a shout of power as he was surrounded by a purple energy barrier as he rained down magic blasts on the city causing panic.
"Haha! Puny insects I want entertainment! I crave murder and bloodshed."
Zero heard crying and saw a little girl however he reared his head back as the infinity magic circle was in front of his mouth as he fired a blast ready to inceriate the girl however the girl was gone as a mirror appeared in front of her and sent the attack back with double its strength engulfing the dragon hybrid.
Landing on the ground was Sona and her peerage staring down the enraged monster.
"Oh look more bugs for me to squash."
Sonia looked at zero with disgust.
"I knew this day would come"
She shook her head.
"Rias should have killed you when she had the chance"
Zero began to laugh like a mad man
"Sona, Sona, Sona, sona even if you tried i doubt you could pull that off "student council leader"
Sona narrowed her eyes in anger as she approached him from a distance.
"I'll give you one chance stand down before we're forced to put you down."
Zero laughed again pointing his finger at Sona and her group.
"Haha! Do you think you have enough power to defeat me?"
Sona then summoned a water dragon but before she could blink Zero appeared in the middle of the group as he shouted to the heavens blasting back everyone and everything knocking out or severely injuring everyone in the peerage.
He walked over to sona and picked her up by the throat as sona could feel herself on the verge of passing out or dying due to air loss.
"What's wrong? I thought you were going to 'put me down'?"
Zero then grabbed her by the face as dragged her across the building before launching her.
He then reappeared above her and slammed his boots into her gut right into the ground as she screamed in pain and coughed up some blood but Zero wasn't done as he jumped up then slammed his knees into her gut as he used her like a human trampoline until sona was pulled into her own shadow and reappeared a few feet from Zero as the star player had arrived.
"Well look who's here. My 'big brother'. Come! I'm going to bathe in your blood!"
Rias and her peerage had arrived around the same time as osore and the others. Ophis just so happened to be floating above watching the scene
"Ok shadow boy this is your last chance, you fail here and i take things into my own hands"
She thought.
As osore stepped forward everyone got ready for battle. Osore gotten within 10 feet of zero before he turned to face the others. he then swiped his arm as a huge gust of wind was created blowing everyone back
"Don't get involved"
Again zero laughed
"Would you look at that osore doesn't want the little kiddos to get hurt does he"
Osore heard his other half speak to him.
"You can't win this if you keep looking at him as if he's still your brother"
Osore closed his eyes and in his head he saw a darker version of himself standing before him.
Osore smirked as he held out his hand for a fist bump. As the two connected fist osore eyes then opened.
He raised his arm up as darkness seeped from his arm wrapping around his arm as it then turned into a giant pitch black battle axe. He then lowered his arm as the axe hit the strucks its target with so much force it created another gust of wind sending dust into the air forcing lily to put up a barrier to shield everyone.
Rias and akeno where worried.
"He has to be insane he cant fight him alone"
Rias thought.
When the dust cleared everyone could see that zero had caught the axe with his left hand.
He pushed the axe up as it then shrunk in size and returned to normal becoming osore arm once again.
"Heh, so THAT was your warm up you got to be-"
Osore appeared in front of him and held his hand out in front of his face as a dark energy blast blew him away.
Zero recovered as he was barely fazed by the blast.
"Haha! You're nothing but trash!"
In an instant Zero closed the gap as he rammed his fist into Orsore's gut before blasting him away.
Zero gave Osore little time to recover as Zero grabbed Osore by the side of his head and slammed him against one of the buildings then dragged his face across the building before tossing him away.
Landing on the ground with a resounding thud Osore slowly got up holding the side of his face as blood poured from the side of his face as Zero sprinted towards his 'brother'.
Zero then jumped high before he planted his boot on the back of Osore's neck and curb stomping him into the pavement as he smiled a sinister smile.
"Just as I thought utter garbage;start to finish."
Zero then started laughing like a maniac until he heard someone call to him.
"Zero-sama! What're you doing?"
Osore barely managed to lift his head as he managed to see who had arrived on the battlefield only to look on in horror.
"L-Le-fay. Run!"
The young pendragon shook her head as she took off her wizard's hat and cape then set down her staff approaching zero.
"Zero-sama. I'm glad your okay I was so worried."
Zero just looked at her confused as the young mage continued talking trying to pacify the dragon hybrid.
"I know your upset Zero-sama but it's okay. I know that your angry but calm down and we can talk."
Le-fay didn't stop smiling at the boy who she called her lover.
"No matter what Zero-sama… I'll always love you."
Everything around Zero went quiet as in the next instant Zero slammed his forearm into le-fay sending her now lifeless body across the area as she landed with a thud as Zero laughed again.
"Haha! Did that weakling really think she could beat me?!"
Then a magic circle formed over le-fay.
"I'll put you out of your misery."
Osore had had enough he pushed up as zero jumped off him and landed 6 feet away
"Seriously osore why do you continue?"
Osore's dark side was pissed inside his mind
"Why are you still showing pity, if you don't fight for real he is going to kill them all"
His dark side put his hand on his shoulder
"Here let me help you"
Suddenly osore body language changed again as he stood up and faced zero. A sinister aura poured form osore.
Osore;s head tilted to the right slightly as sadistic grin formed on his face.
"Alright ophis's "little boy" i'm tired of this game now"
"Haha! Do you think you have enough power to defeat me?"
Osore just glared at him "no I don't."
Then Zero almost doubled over as Osore rammed his elbow into his gut as Zero stepped back clenching his gut in pain.
"I have more than you can possibly realise. In fact at this point Zero… I'm in a world you will never know."
Zero went for a punch but Osore dodged it with ease as he then jumped and kneed Zero on the chin as blood was beginning to come from his nose.
Before Zero could react Osore grabbed him by his hair then slammed him face first into the concrete before stepping on his head with a cocky smile.
"You called me trash right? Well it looks like the only trash I see is under my heel right now."
Zero growled in frustration as he was surrounded by a purple energy barrier as Osore stepped back as the most of the area was a crater.
"Rrrahhhh!"
Zero's barrier then rained down magic blasts on the city destroying everything in sight but Osore calmly walked through the destruction before he took a runner's stance and lunged at Zero as he punched him through the barrier sending the berserker into a few buildings.
Osore landed a few feet in front of his brother still smiling.
"I thought you were going to beat me? Or was that all just hot air you were spewing."
Zero got up and wiped his mouth only to see blood which sent him into a frenzy.
"Die!"
Osore smirked as he dodged his punch and slugged him in the gut causing him to fall on his knees and cough up blood,
"No you."
He then kneed him in the face, sending him back then began to lay into zero with blow after blow before Zero blasted him away in fury as he was breathing heavy however he stopped as Zero's body spasmed before he transformed as his body was back to its normal.
Osore walked over to the unconscious Zero as he made a thin sword out of darkness as he held the body up and prepared to execute his target finishing him for good but his other half had other ideas as it was trying to take complete control.
" now that i've got him drained allow me to finish it"
"NO!"
Osore yelled in his head
"You will sit there and let me finish this"
His other half went silent
Osore snapped his fingers as dark chains rose zero to his feet.
Only then did osore see what was truly controlling zero.
It was the green gem in the center of his attire it had been flooding zero with powerful dark energy since the dark realm.
Osore slashed the gem in half shattering it as a huge wave of dark energy rose and disappeared.
Zero was still unconscious as everyone else arrived to see the young boy laid out on his back and covered in wounds.
Sona adjusted her glasses as Vali arrived carrying Le-Fay as the young pendragon despite her injuries was able to stand on her own two feet albeit a bit wobbly.
She got as close to Zero as she could and began healing Zero with Asia's help.
Sona looked over Zero's body as she adjusted her glasses before speaking.
"I can see why he was deemed a threat. Perhaps it would've been best for you to finish the job Osore."
At this Lily created a spear and aimed it at Sona's throat as Tsubaki and the rest of her peerage took aim at Lily.
"You wanna take that back you four eyed bitch? You wouldn't know the first thing about Zero."
Sona just scoffed.
"And I suppose you do?"
Before the two could escalate any further both Osore and Rias tried to be the voices of reason.
Osore spoke first but his choice of words didn't sound like him at all.
"Considering you just got your ass kicked sona i'd shut the fuck up"
Rias was took at abcak at his words. So much that she couldn't even speak.
He then turned to lily
"You forget as much as the claim to care they obviously don't"
Lily took a deep breath before she put the spear away causing Sona's peerage to relax as they lowered their magic circles however it was interrupted when several men appeared from one larger magic circle as they walked towards Zero as the young boy had just woken up.
As two of the men grabbed Zero the other one began to open a magic circle as the devil looked Zero in the eyes.
Lilith arrived to see devils taking away Zero which caused her to run in and try and stop them only for Vali to grab her and hold her back.
The devil cleared his throat as he addressed Zero.
"Zero child of Ophis! You are under arrest for crimes against not only the heir to the gremory and sitri clan but also against the dark realm and the death of dark realm leader Jedahdia Doma!"
In a flash a black blade was at the devil's neck.
"The leader of the dark realm is me you fool, wanna rethink your words"
The devil gulped and pushed the blade away from his neck.
"Also"
Osore continued
"He didn't kill him you idiot"
Vali and lily could feel that this wasn't osore talking at the moment but they still put their hands on his shoulder.
Zero looked around confused
"W-what is he talking about the last thing I remember is fighting issei and then...it all goes black"
He said, shaking his head as nothing was clear to him just a big blurry image that he couldn't make sense of. However everything began to clear up for Zero as he started to remember everything that he had done as he lowered his head. His bangs covered his eyes as he talked loud enough to where everyone could hear him.
"Guilty."
"What? I couldn't hear you. Speak up."
Zero looked up and spoke again.
"I said for my actions I plead guilty. So take me away."
Everyone was left baffled at Zero's decision as Le-fay was going to speak up vali covered her mouth again shaking his head no.
However just before the devils were going to take Zero through Lilith shouted to her big brother.
"Big Brother! Big brother please don't go! You can't go with them!"
One of the devils looked at Zero then back at Lilith.
"Hey. she telling the truth? That girl your sister or what?"
Zero just smiled before he called out to his sister holding back his tears.
"I'm sorry little girl but I don't know you. You must have me mistaken for someone else I'm sorry."
Liltih wanted to call out to her brother again but Lily stopped her as Lilith was on the verge of tears as she hugged Lily tight as the devils escorted the chained Zero through the magic circle.
"It doesn't matter son of ophis. At any rate, you won't be seeing these people ever again."
However before Zero was fully through the portal someone intervened.
"Hold it right there!"
To everyone's surprise it was Issei.
"Where the hell you going Zero?! You're one of us right? Then that means you're staying with us!"
Before zero could respond he was pushed through the magic circle as it disappeared.
Lilith then burst into tears right along side lily before kiba looked at osore who eyes were locked at the sky. He could feel the power amitting off of him and it was putting him on edge.
Osore brought his eyes down to everyone before he looked at rias and sona.
"You two are the big shots here go tell your "daddies it's time to attack Jedahdia Doma!.
Sona winced as she was still in pain
"We understand your anger but we-
Osore had heard enough he pointed his blade at her
"You devils already hid the truth from me i don't wanna hear anymore excuses you will take me to your parents now!"
Lily, haze, akeno and even lilith jumped a little.
Rias then cleared her throat as she tried to get Osore to calm down.
"Osore the thing is… is that Jedahdia is gone and we mean gone gone. No one knows where he disappeared too. It's like he vanished from the very plane of existence all together.
Vail then chimed in as he was confused as was mostly everyone else.
"What do you mean he just vanished? Beings like him don't just "vanish"."
Rias sighed as she rubbed her temples.
"Whether you guys like it or not that's how it is."
Osore started to laugh…...not the happy type.
He turned and swung his kanatna in rage which slashed through 5 whole buildings causing them to crash to the ground. Everyone could only look on in shock
Osoore began cursing under his breath as he left via a magic circle back to his and zero's house which was now empty.
Osore couldn't speak nor did he want to as he sat on the floor and silently cried to himself away from everyone else not wanting to them to see his tears until he felt a presence.
"So he turned himself in osore? Why didn't you stop him."
Osore turned around to see Ophis sitting on the couch with an ice cream bar and lilith with her as Osore sighed as he was trying to hold in his sadness and rage as he talked to Ophis and Lilith as he answered her question without wanting to hurt the dragon god of infinity.
"His look."
Osore told her.
"His look screamed for him to let him do it; so...that's what I did."
Lilith who was doing well at hiding her sadness looked at her mother for her response.
"You stopped his rampage and have become the leader of your realm as your father wanted even given zero what he wanted so why do you still seem so...unsatisfied?"
Ophis walking in front of osore.
Osore chuckled before he looked at his hands then back at Ophis.
"Maybe it's because I lost even though I won. Hehe Christ I sound so cliche right now."
Osore then got up and stretched.
"You know shadow boy it's funny."
"What's funny?"
"For someone whose name translates to fear your quite a softie."
Osore smiled at Ophis.
"I think your perception of me is skewed Ophis."
"I doubt that."
Osore smiled
"Yes yes it very much is"
He walked over to a magic circle that unexpectedly opened on the wall. Lily and vail who weren't looking to good physically menatlly or emotionally stepped through first with rias, sona and koneko following. Le-fay was resting on vali's back
"Now what?" vail said slightly irritated
"Yeah" lily added
"Our best friend is basically a criminal thanks to that bastard Jedahdia"
Then sona and rias both walked up to osore in unison.
"Thank you osore we know just how much he meant to you and we're very sorr-"
Before they could finish their statements darkness covered their mouths.
"Oh please you know just as well as i this is not a place for your pathetic sympathy"
Keneko's eyes widened, she knew osore was angry.
"but is this really the same osore".
She thought.
She was brought out of her musings when they felt an aura of anger as its source was Le-Fay clearly unhappy.
"Why? Why couldn't you save him?!"
Lily was trying to calm the young mage down but she was having none of it.
"You could've saved him! So why didn't you!?"
Le-Fay then brought her staff up as she brought it down with anger in her eyes.
"Gogmagog!"
The giant stone golem appeared as it was about to smash Rias and Sona until Osore stepped in trying to calm down the young magician.
:osore raised his arm and stopped the golem's fist which in turn caused a shock wave that destroyed the house.
As pissed off as he was he had to remain calm the best way he could.
He sent her a message although no one else could hear it.
"Be patient i'll get him out of there"
However, his words did little to soothe Le Fay's anger as she teleported away with Vali following her.
After that everyone else just seemed to scatter leaving Osore standing in the street alone with only the shadows to keep him company.
He looked up at the sky and sighed. He tried his hardest not to let things end up this way but it seemed like fate wanted this to happen. Hasuki walked up behind him and put her hand on his shoulder. "So little brother you're the true prince of darkness, what will you do." Osore's closed his eyes before looking at her.
"I need to speak to him one last time…dont follow me and don't tell the others were I've gone.
Hasuki nodded before she questioned her brother.
"Are you sure about this? I-If you get caught then...then"
Osore brought his sister into a tight hug.
"Relax Sis. Besides, they can't catch me."
Hasuki smiled at her brother as Osore disappeared into the shadows leaving the city behind him as Hasuki figured she'd explore for a while with a skip in her step.
-line break-
Somewhere in the underworld;Maximum Security Prison
Zero was tossed into his cell landing on his face as his body was covered in cuts and scratches as guards bound his hands to shackles in the wall.
"You're gonna be here for a long time scum."
Zero stayed quiet.
"What nothing to say?"
Zero once again said nothing.
One of the guards then rammed his fist into Zero's slightly injured midsection as he coughed up some spit but he was once again silent.
"Ahh leave him. There's no point anyway unless it fights back."
"Guess your right."
The guards left his cell and closed the doorway locking it.
Zero just sat in silence but he was at least glad no one else had to suffer because of him.
'Least they're safe from me.'
"Yeah sure and now everyone's fighting over you"
Osore's voice said as he appeared in front of his brother.
"That's pretty noble of you to turn yourself in but you can't just leave Lilith"
His sudden appearance shocked zero.
W-why why would you follow me here, you know I deserve this.
Osore's quickly disappeared as the cell door burst open as the two guards from before walked in.
"Who are you talking to monster? Who followed you?"
Zero shrugged his shoulders.
"Just a shadow is all."
The guards looked at each other in confusion before Osore came behind them via their own shadows and knocked their heads together, knocking them out.
"Really Zero? A shadow pun."
"Come on. Quit acting 'shady.'"
Osore massaged his temples.
"Dear god don't."
"What it's not my fault you have a shadow foundation."
"I will leave you in this cage so help me."
Zero smiled a weak smile knowing full well his brother wouldn't do that.
"Osore you know I'm not going to leave right. I'm not putting anyone else in danger."
Osore glared at his brother.
"So that's your plan? Just stay here and rot for who knows how long."
"It's not up for you to decide."
Osore grabbed Zero by his shirt and brought him to eye level.
"I think it is little brother!"
One of the guards groaned and started to stir but osore kicked him, fixing the problem quickly. Zero let his head hang low as he didn't even want to look at osore anymore.
"Look zero i can't stay in this world forever I guess.. I guess I have a kingdom to run now"
Osore said, raising his brother's head to look at him once more.
"I just want to make sure everything is rightfully right before I have to leave, you understand, don't you?"
Zero again smiled slightly but just as fast it disappeared as he snacteched his head away.
"Well then leave because as it stands everything is ''rightfully `` right
This made osore go quiet. At this point he knew there was nothing he could say to change his brother's mind. Even chained to a wall facing life in prison he was still hard headed as ever.
"I know it might be hard to accept right now but i'm ok really." zero started as he put his head down not showing osore the tears forming in his eyes.
"I hurt le-fay the one who loved me the most and I could have hurt lilith...i don't even know what to think of myself anymore"
Osore looked up at his brother. He now understood where zero was coming from.
"Although you allowed yourself to be controlled you now feel like a fool for doing so and as a self imposed punishment you're gonna just sit here." on top of that you know a lot of devils have been waiting to have a reason to put you here and you gave them one." "look i understand and i'll grant your wish i just wanted you to know you didn't ask for this"
Zero listened to what Osore said as he looked down before he remembered that his "decision" was probably not only hurting Lilith but also Le-Fay and maybe even kuroka.
"Hey big bro?"
Osore turned around with a small scowl on his face and Zero took a breath before he spoke again.
"Maybe I'm being selfish,and a jerk,and a…"
"Get to the point."
"I'm going home. Because my family needs me. God I sound cheesy."
"Yeah you do but I'm proud of you for making the right call. So how are you gonna get out of here?"
Zero smirked as he snapped his fingers as his signature magic circle appeared behind him.
"That's my ride. You?"
Osore created a shadow sickle and had a battle hungry smirk on his face.
"I'm gonna leave through the front and who knows I might have a party. A massacre party!"
Zero shook his head.
"Leave the puns to me dude."
He then was pulled back into the circle disappearing leaving osore in a now empty cell.
He stepped back as the two guards woke up and got to their feet. Noticing zero was gone along with the chains they then turned to osore.
"YOu HELPED THE CHILD OF OPHIS ESCAPE!"
Before they could turn and run from the cell osore fired an energy blast blasting them through the cell leaving a giant hole in its place. With the two guards unconscious once again he made his move. Racing down the hallway he noticed a staircase at the end of it.
Two guards rushed up them trying to intercept the shadow user.
"Sto-"
Was all they managed to get out before they were sliced in half. Osore grabbed the upper half of one before it hit the ground and jumped down landing at the bottom of the stairs where he was met by, of course more guards. They fired their weapons but osore blocked with the body he was holding and tossed it at one of them with so much force he crashed into the wall. Black spikes then appeared above him as they shot at the remaining guards slaughtering them all in an instant. Osore then heard bangng come from the cell next to him which made him peer it as a crazy looking individual with pitch red eyes a ragged dirty beard and no shirt with makeshift shorts.
"You'll never break outta here fool they'll beat you and touture you once you're caught."
Osore let his darkside answer this time.
"I was never put in her to begin with so I wouldnt say breaking out i'm just breaking the ice"
As he stepped away a guard swung at him for osore to side step and bash his head into the cell door.
"Honestly i was really gonna let him stay if he wanted to"
Osore said to dying guard
"But I forgot who I was talking to" he said as he walked off…
After 15 minutes or so osore had found the front door but to no surprise it was heavily guarded; they had watchtowers lined up so no one could even think of slipping through unseen. Which made him laugh. Being the prince of darkness being unseen was like second nature to him. he Disappeared and appeared on one of the watchtowers and jumped off soaring towards the ground. Summoning his crow he then took off into the sky.
"Ok NOw i think i can rule the dark realm"
He said as the crow sped up. He opened a portal back to kuoh as the crow shot into leaving the underworld behind ...or i guess underneath.
As the crow continued its flight path Osore found the ideal landing location as he set the bird down right next to his house as he surveyed the neighborhood one last time before he turned to Hasuki who was saying her goodbyes to everyone however once she got to Vali she became a bashful school girl as she wouldn't stop blushing and twirling her hair around her finger.
Hasuki then steeled herself as she grabbed Vali by his jacket and brought him in for a passionate kiss on the lips with everything she had as Vali's eyes went wide and Lily could only chuckle at his reaction.
Hasuki released the kiss on Vali leaving the white dragon emperor dazed before she made her hands into a telephone giving him the signal to call her as she turned on her heels and left with Vali taking a small peak at her hips which she swayed on purpose.
With goodbyes said Osore and Hasuki left for the dark dimension and Zero returned home free from prison as this would be the last time anyone would see or hear from these two brothers for a while.
