Xcalibur -A NEW WORLD- Ch. XXIV (Yearly Lives Timeskip pt. 4: Dragonborn)
This is Xcalibur -A NEW WORLD- Season 2: Years of War
Disclaimer/Short Notice: This one isn't a full war but just a fight between the heroes and the villain just as some of the rest. As if the last chapter wasn't enough trouble as it is. Now to some of you out there, no I'm discontinuing the LynnCisco ship since it was sunk down bellow the ship ocean. Some of you may still be a LynnCisco fan even if the Canon-Verse already mentioned that Lynn doesn't feel that way anymore so I'm back to something else like Clynn or Lynncoln or whatever. I do as I please and I know I ain't hurting anybody but if you disagree with what I had planned feel free to ignore this chapter. Also, I might go in another Hiatus but shorter to compensate in this Pandemic Crisis. I really wish this would be over now since it had claimed so many lives, ruined our normal days. Godspeed us all.
After the confirmation of Luan and Maggie's pregnancy, curfew becomes more strict in ensuring nothing bad would happen to them. Benny still had a few nightmares about the invasion that occurred but Ludociel assured him that the Fuhrer and the Roman Emperor had ceased to exist and will never terrorize them ever again. He gave him some calming balm to ease Benjamin's anxiety. Few months later, the two twins are born. Luan had Liby (Liberty) and Lara (Laura), daughters of Benjamin, while Maggie had Lois (Louise) and Gloom, daughters of the Nephilim Ludociel/Lincoln. No sooner is the birth of Haiku's second child with the Nephilim, Lilim. One discovery they made is that They seemed to never inherit the Demon/Angel genes of the father, meaning the children of Ludociel isn't fully a Nephilim but his recessive genes can amplify their capabilities (such as Lyra is a more stronger Wolfblood or Gloom a more cheerful Wraith race). This discovery led to believe that Nephilims are also a rare race that can only be multiplied if a Demon and an Angel race agreed to fall in love with each other.
No such war had occurred after a few more months but a battle stadium for brawling has been legalized for sports. The rules involve no killing, only by knockout/TKO or surrendering/forfeiting matches are considered victories. This will help other species get stronger and test their might in case another invasion like this happened. Lincoln/Ludociel wanted to join but doing so is kind of cheating on his part and even the Seraph and Demon King would agree so [unless he seals his Commandment and relied only in his own wits]. Ronnie Anne joined in order to gain recognition for her family since being the Dragon Sin of Wrath/Violence reminded her of how she almost killed her friends: Sid, Casey, Sameer, and Nikki. This instilled fear and a bad reputaion to the Santiago-Casagrande family but such thing is slowly fading ever since the black sheep had learn control thanks to the Nephilim's influence. On another note, surprisingly Clyde had a second child. The first one named Cleopatra is Clyde's first child from Chloe, born a week after Sonnet, Terry and Panther Andrealphas-Loud. His second is from Penelope, a son named Conner, born a few days before Liberty/Liby was conceived. Clyde is planning to have a third child soon but unknown when. When Lisa was the one who conducted their medical records, she found traces of Martian blood in both the daughter and the son. This confirmed that Clyde is indeed an alien race from a different planet. And even before I knew it, he actually had DNA samples of Lori and Leni which Lisa conducted an experiment in regarding to homunculus. With Clyde's martian blood, they've created two successful clones/homunculus with sentience as Clyde's daughters (Clover, a martian Dryad and Cloud, martian Ifreetian). Though they are younger by birth, or extraction rather, they have a fully developed adult body which makes the alchemist group to either doubt or question Lisa's motives but provided safety to the martian race nonetheless.
Lincoln left his home for a gathering ceremony for the Ouroboros. This hasn't happen quite a while since the first time this happened is when he was rescued from a horde of shadow demon by the Seraph and the Demon King themselves. The gathering was conducted in help of reminding the organization of their common enemy, the rebellious ENDERS. There they held another oath with the main members (Enforcers/Ranker) and the subordinate members with Michael El-Shaddai as their host speaker.
Michael: My honored brethren, we come together here to unite as one. We lost so much and gained new members as much but still our Enforcers stand tall. We are up against those that are damned. We show mercy to those we deemed innocent but no mercy to the enemies for they had none. Today you make an oath for your loyalty and faith to Our Father Creator that lingers as the light from the shadows. Under His wings and banner, we shall prevail balance and order. We are the endless.
Members: We are Ouroboros!
The gathering was soon adjourned and the next day after, two ENDERS are detected. The tournament ended so the stadium is close but free to be toured with permission from higher-up. This time it was the Dragonite-man in full ebony armor with a black crown adorned by two lengthy scarlet feather. Being a dragonborn gave him an ominous aura and strength greater than ten or hundred of regular men. He seemed to be of Chinese origin and known by his terror that once unified the Three Kingdoms in order to vanquish such calamity. His name is Lu Bu. Same with another man in blackish silver armor and red mails. He is wielding a obsidian-mythril sword which is a replica of the original Xcalibur. Unlike Lu Bu, his armor is more medieval and Western-like than the Chinese. He had hair color combination of blonde and black and a handsome face. His name is Mordred Le Faye VI and he is the brother of Morgana Le Faye. Both siblings are descendants of the traitors of the Pendragon family, Mordred's and Morgan Le Faye's clan. When they raised alarm to the enforcers, they challenged them to a fight in the arena, giving them a specified set of rules.
One: Lu Bu and Mordred are the only combatants from the ENDERS team. Anyone who opposes them are free to gather as much troops to aid in their battle.
Two: The only way to win is when the two ENDERS had fully perish, in which case, sending their souls to oblivion (void) is counted as such.
Three: Win also includes the eradication of all members of each team. The fight continues until all members of the opposing team had been defeated/killed.
Four: Surrenders/Deserters will be executed on the spot.
Five: Use any means necessary. The strong will devour, the weak dies. No-holds-barred. Good luck and may the fight be admirable and entertaining.
The Ouroboros then took the message and reevaluated them. Though, Samael knew that those two would always find decent challenges since their time in the mortal world and Scheol, still they'd rather not underestimate the enemy. Michael then enlist suggested group of fighters, to which the Seraph said to not gather an armada to minimize unnecessary casualties and work force. From the enlistment involves, Ludociel/Lincoln, Lynnsanity the Commandment of Patience/Pacifism, Ronnie Anne Santiago of the Titan Race, Alicia Pendragon, Jackie Lee Chow and Dulor Goldstein. The plan of action is to have Lu Bu face against Ludociel/Lincoln, Lynn, and Jackie Lee Chow. Meanwhile, to fulfil her role as an avenger of the Pendragon family, Alicia , along with Dulor and Ronnie Anne faces Mordred. Once they've gotten to the arena, they now prepared for the duel.
Lu Bu: I hope you can grant us a satisfying battle. [Lu Bu summoned his cross-axe] If we are victorious, we shall wreck this whole world, one town, city and country at a time.
Mordred: Make sure you are prepared, lest you will taste our steel and bathe in your blood.
Ludociel/Lincoln: I'll use Ascalon on you Dragonborn. A dragon against the dragon-slaying blade, fits to your demise.
Lynn: No holding back. This time I can go full strength without activating my curse.
Jackie Chow: You will know the power of the Zodiac Talismans.
Alicia: Time to finally put you to an end, traitor. [Readies her lance and armor]
Dulor: This will be a grand game. [Prepares multiple cards]
Ronnie Anne: I'm gonna enjoy taking both of you down. {Ronnie channels her Titan powers of electrokinesis from Baraquiel - the fallen angel of Lightning (Lightning of God)]
Once the groups had chosen their opponents, the fight begins. Lincoln uses Ascalon as primary weapon and the Masamune as secondary. He charges at Lu Bu with a thrust but Lu Bu's cross-axe blocks the attack. From another is Jackie Chow afloat and ready to rush and push Lu Bu. Lynn then holds on to Lu Bu's forearm to strain him from using his axe. But with a loud roar, Lu Bu quakes his ground and pushes them back. Thanks to Jackie Chow's Rooster and Hare talisman, he rapidly recovers through the air. Lincoln stumbles but regains footing while Lynn impacts on the ground but bares the pain to stand again.
Lynn: Note to self, immortality hurts.
Lynn heals her injuries thanks to the Commandment. If Lu Bu was still human or other demi-human than a reincarnated demon, Lynn would have to hold back or else the curse will take effect and removes some of her time and pieces of her soul, aging her in the process. But since she is fighting an ENDER, there's no need to hold back. She is one human that can be considered as a one-woman army thanks to her strength and determination. Jackie Chow uses his Ox talisman to put a hold of Lu Bu and Lynn follows her instruction. Lincoln/Ludociel follows with a slash that wounds the Dragonborn warrior. Lu Bu is amused to see that the Nephilim is worthy of a fighter as for the other two. Lu Bu has been renowned for his strength and only by the unity of the three kingdoms was they able to brought him down during his lifetime. It means that even with his additional prowess as a reanimated demon/Dragonborn, for them to only take three people is something he was excited for. Fired up from the battle, Lu Bu then went in fury as he splits his cross-axe into two and charges at the Nephilim. Ludociel/Lincoln blocks the incoming attack with a sheathed Masamune. While Jackie shapeshift into a rhino to stop dragonborn with Lynn. Lu Bu only swipe Ludociel/Lincoln leftward and parries the charging rhino barehanded. Jackie reverts and use heat vision, in which Lu Bu blocks with his other hand. Lincoln charges again with his Ascalon and tires to stab Lu Bu without missing the hit. Lu Bu continues to be distracted by Jackie Chow's laser attack.
Lu Bu: Is that all the strength you can muster?!
Lu Bu failed to realize that his weapon is taken by Lynn and pierce him with it. This causes Lu Bu to flinch a bit as the dragonborn is still protecting himself from the laser attack from Jackie Chow's Boar Talisman. Lu Bu then grabs Lynn by her skull and was about to crush her.
Lu Bu: I'll squash you like the worm you are! And even if you regenerate, I'll do it all over again until you beg me to stop.
Lincoln/Ludociel then had to do something to stop the dragonborn from killing the other two. The Nephilim now had one thing left to do.
Lincoln/Ludociel: Combination Commandment Love-Humility. Final attack, DRAGON STINGER!
Lincoln/Ludociel charges with a fierce attack and thrust his Ascalon through Lu Bu's chest and had him stop. Due to Humility's ability, Lu Bu was depowered and calms down. His power is divided by more than 10, causing him to be weak. Lincoln/Ludociel then uses the exorcism blade to remove Lu Bu soul from his new body then had it devoured by the Soul Devourer Xenolith blade. Finally, the Dragonborn had been slain.
Meanwhile in the other group. Dulor is throwing cards, while Ronnie uses lightning javelin but Mordred jumps to dodge them. Alicia then jumps to Mordred and slashes with her sword, only for it to miss and Mordred kick Alicia back to the ground.
Mordred: Let's see, we have a fool who plays games, a young Pendragon novice and a failed excuse of a Titan. Tell me girl, what do aim to achieve holding back from your anger?
Ronnie: To use my powers to protect! That's what!
Mordred: What a pity, you could have been a perfect concubine since you had Titan powers. Not only you're holding back your rage but it seemed your heart was taken by that Nephilim. Shame, your rage can be more use of a weapon.
Alicia: She is no weapon! She had been learning to be strong without giving in to anger. The anger that made her feared and lonely. Self-control is power, something you wouldn't understand, traitor! Dulor, now!
While Mordred is distracted, Dulor had set traps which will render out the evil knight. Alicia was prepared in case Mordred was going to reverse the trap attacks to her and had a reflective mirror shield ready to aim at Mordred.
Alicia: Whatever weapon or shield, I can send it back tenfold. Ronalda now!
Mordred attacks with a dark wave slash and Alicia blocks the attack with her shield.
Ronnie: Tronido y Flash! (Thunderclap and Flash - Ronnie channels lightning from the clouds and creates a javelin of electricity, in which she throws at her target.)
Dulor: Card Copy! (Creates an imitation projectile of Dulor's desire, copying the lightning attack).
The dark energy slash clashes with the lightning javelins as Alicia charges with determination and thrusts her lightning enhanced lance at the traitor knight, dealing him with the powerful blow.
Ronnie: Did we do it?
Alicia: Yes we did.
Mordred's body disintegrates as the once traitor knight had finally fallen…
Dulor: Don't be too sure. Mordred is still human when he joined the ENDERS like Morgana. There's a chance he will be resurrected but it will take long years to do so. I suggest you all recuperate.
Ludociel/Lincoln: He's right. Both of the Le Faye are human, one served the dark guild while the other the witches. Even in death, they will return but that's why the headmasters had arranged proper investigation in Scheol to double security efforts. That way not even the Necropolis and Paradise will be wrongly invaded by demons. But knowing the ENDERS, they will return. But at least now we know they can't always send their army or else, dooming them into the void.
The combatants of Ouroboros had been victorious. The two ENDERS are gone and damage report is put in bare minimum.
Michael: Told you they can handle it.
Samael: That hybrid is growing strong, there's no more we can give him. The rest is up to him to decide.
Michael: Agreed brother. Aren't going to make love with Lilith again when you return?
Samael: My… sexual life is off-limits brother. How about you? Still single?
Michael: Yes, my duties is for Father's but I am willing to take a bride soon when she is reanimated as one of the Angel clan. Once this is over, I will asked Metatron the bookkeeper as a messenger to have him ask of Father's approval.
Samael: What's her name…
Michael: I'm not telling you. She had led a pure life, I cannot let you ruin her… plus she's a half Druid. Too bad she didn't inherit her mother's hair.
Samael: Well, you're no fun. I'm out.
Samael had vanished as he is to return to spy on Scheol and make sure the ENDERS' plot will be thwarted.
Michael: I'll wait for you, Beatrix Yates.
Soon after, at night Lincoln and Lynn spend their time together. Rita and Lynn don't know whether to be proud of Lincoln for being able to grant them grandchildren (something that they can never really do), or to feel embarrassed since they knew of the method. Lisa knew that this will result in Lincoln having three children with Lynn. And before anyone asks, Michael El-Shaddai will be both pastor and wedding coordinator. And since Micheal knew of King David and other heroes of the ancient, this job doesn't bother him.
Micahel: Well, this was supposed to be Eros' job but he's away for a vacation so I'm doing him a favor. Where is he when I need him? Theiatana Aphrodite owe me my nephew, her son!
-To Be Continued-
AN: And that's this chapter. Next chapter might not contain any fight scene. Boring? But even bad guys had to stop once in a while so that they wouldn't lose to many.
Lynn and Lincoln/Ludociel will have triplets and the names will be as followed: Lynn III (Thirdy), Lacy (obviously) and Liny. As for Lucy, the prediction of Lisa can be wrong or changed. Lucy will still have a child (Lupa) but as Lisa states, the future tends to be messy and unpredictable. Maybe Lupa's adopted or not (Lupa had qualities of both a vampire and wolfblood. It might be a surprise in her chapter.
The next chapter will also be a short battle rather than a war. But I'm thinking, this time Lincoln/Ludociel will not participate. Instead, he'll just watch from the sidelines for whatever reason. And yes, the Yates do exist and they still do live near the Loud tower (still in Royal Woods). However, Bumper Yates Sr died of age and Jancey is the only one taking care of the Yates siblings (Bumper Jr, Beau, Beatrix and Belle). The Yates family are Druids and Beatrix is practicing cleric and soon to be betrothed to Michael El-Shaddai as soon as she is sanctified into an angel. That's it.
