Tanjiro: I know, right?

Tottleminerftw: … what's Deskar?

Guest: Yes, yes, yes, I know you want the RossweisseXNaruto lemon.

Dig Saddler: I'll try to remember Sona and Saji's date. Yes, I need to show Sona's peerage hanging with Naruto again. Yeah, I had fun with Kuroka and Naruto bonding.

Chapter 51: Splintering

There was an explosion above, caving in part of the ceiling above Satan's, Azazel, Michael, Yasaka, and their guards while everyone stood in silence, their brains slowly recognizing the danger as several members of the Khoas Brigade started filling in the building.

This caused a panic, making dozens of the peerages to flee, but a few stayed behind to fight.

Including Sabo, Edward, Ravel, Rias, Sairaorg, and Sona's peerages.

At the edge of the opening in the wall, Shalba Beelzebub, Creusery Asmodeus, Aria Barbatos, Pyrrha Leraje, and Serendine Zepar.

Aria Barbatos had magenta colored hair and eyes, a tan muscular body fit for a fighter and wore golden gladiator like armor.

Pyrrha Leraje had short cut blue hair and emerald eyes. Her skin was blue, which was covered by Arabian inspired clothing as she smoked a pipe that had a strange curved appendage on the bottom of the bowl. She was very curvy and busty.

Serendine Zepar had a petite yet voluptuous young woman with a confident expression. She has pink eyes and light pink hair in a complex style: straight bangs, a purple headband, and several long braids, ending in metal rings. There are also two loops of hair framing her face. She was wearing a military uniform: a transparent tunic, a low-cut breast plate with a spider design, shoulder plates with a floral design, a purple cape, a metal thong, shin guards and boots that reach her thighs. She had a sword at her waist.

Five members of the Old Satan Faction, two members of the Satan bloodlines.

"Tsk." Pyrrha grunted as she held her pipe up while she was exhaling the smoke. "Seems we are a little late."

"Orochimaru." Doflamingo stated sternly as he glanced at his coworker.

Orochimaru sighed.

"Okay, I'll get to it." Orochimaru said as he snapped his fingers, making Tayuya, Jirobo, Kidomaru, and Sakon take formation around the Faction Leaders.

"Four Violet Flames Formation." The Sound Five members stated, taking and holding positions as two purple barriers appeared, encasing the leaders inside and protecting them as Kimimaro, Doflamingo, and Gaara stood outside the barrier, unphased as the several feet around them cracked as the ground raised the barrier with the leaders and Orochimaru above into the sky.

"Those bastards!" Aria Barbatos shouted in anger as she and her fellow Old Satan Faction comrades saw the barrier. "They are taking the Satan's!"

"Calm down Aria." Serendine said in an attempt to calm her comrade. "Besides, we can kill their siblings."

Aria perked up and then grinned.

"Good idea." She replied as she turned to see Sona.

However, the five Old Satan devils were swept up in a dome of sand.

"Begone." Gaara muttered as he glared, throwing the five out of the building.

"Good, your self-control has gotten better." Doflamingo chuckled.

Gaara ignored him as he closed his eyes, the world becoming all shades of white, black, and gray as he felt the presences of every single being in the room, feeling their emotions as they ran, and opened his eyes, looking directly where Naruto was located.

"Found him." Gaara stated, launching himself towards Naruto with his sand carrying him.

Naruto, in his hybrid form fighting a random devil, was grabbed and pushed through the nearest wall by a gigantic sand hand grabbing him.

"NARUTO!" Kuisha shouted as she saw Naruto get taken.

"He is the last of your worries, Bael." Doflamingo laughed as he appeared behind them. "Because you'll fight me if you want him."

"BASTARD!" Gandoma shouted in a rage as he appeared behind Doflamingo, fist raised to attack only for it to hit the ground in a geyser of blood with a single arm and wrist movement form Doflamingo.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Gandoma screamed as the pain receptors caught on and activated.

"Hm, bastard sure likes to talk." Doflamingo stated as he then cracked his neck. "Let's get this underway, little devils."

"Regulus!" Sairaorg shouted, getting his Pawn to glow, becoming light that attached itself to Sairaorg. "Balance Breaker: Regulus Rey Leather Rex!"

The light vanished and showed Sairaorg adorned in golden armor with a lion themed breast plate and the helmet with a lion like mane.

"GET OUT OF OUR WAY!" Sairaorg shouted as he punched Doflamingo, Regulus channeling his and Sairaorg's power into the armor.

Doflamingo held out his hand, thin light string appearing and attaching to Sairaorg, making his grin wider as Sairaorg stopped in his tracks.

"Good, now I have a puppet to slaughter your peerage with." Doflamingo stated gleefully as he moved his fingers, forcing Sairaorg to turn to face the Bael Peerage.

Meanwhile…

Naruto gasped as his back hit the ground after Gaara slammed him through the wall.

"Don't worry, young master." Gaara said in an aggressive tone as he made another giant fist from sand, a crazed look in his eyes as he coated them in haki, turning the sand black. "I won't kill you."

'Iron Body, MAX!' Naruto thought as he hardened his body with the Iron Body technique and coated his face in Haki to fortify his defenses as the fists of sand hit him in rapid succession.

Gaara noticed this and jumped off of Naruto, his sand falling idly to the ground as Naruto got up.

"FUCK THAT HURT!" Naruto shouted in pain with a few scratches on his face.

Gaara's tail swayed as it dropped his gourd to the ground, all its stored sand floating out of it.

"You're tougher than you look." Gaara stated calmly as he crossed his arms before him, his attitude changing to that of bored. "Then I don't have to hold back!"

'Promotion: Queen.' Naruto thought as he jumped into the air, using Moonwalk to evade incoming sand appendages Gaara summoned. 'I should stay away from cqc, that sand could probably kill me even with haki protecting me.'

"TEMPEST KICK!" Naruto shouted, kicking the air and projecting the sliced air at Gaara.

The sand reacted and covered Gaara, taking the Tempest Kick as it dissipated.

"So weak." Gaara muttered as he created more sand tendrils that lashed out at Naruto, who evaded with Paper Art, contorting his body like paper to evade the attacks.

Meanwhile…

Kimimaro, through all of this, was laser focused on his direct mission given to him by his master.

Give Diodora 'help and backup' to get Asia.

'There she is.' He thought as his shoulder started to contort and twist before it tore open, his hand going up and pulling out a bone blade.

Asia, who was being covered by the peerage since she was the healer, bumped into Kimimaro, slowly turning to see him staring down at her.

"I'm sorry, but you need to come with me." He said calmly and coldly, raising his blade and striking her in the neck with the handle.

Kimimaro caught her.

"ASIA!" Issei shouted when he saw Kimimaro carry her over his shoulder.

Kimimaro evaded Issei's charge and stabbed him to the ground with his blade, breaking Issei's Balance Breaker completely.

"Listen, I am taking this girl to Diodora." Kimimaro stated as he stood up. "If you want to fight, you go through him."

With that, Kimimaro walked off, ignoring the screams Issei gave him before he handed Asia off to Diodora at the other side of the room.

"Excellent." Diodora said feverishly with lust. "Now we can play a game."

Diodora and his peerage vanished with Asia.

'My part is done here.' Kimimaro thought before his eyes widened at the sudden increase in heat.

"FIRE FIST!"

A torrent of fire blasted Kimimaro out of the building.

Kimimaro rolled across the ground, his bones hardened to withstand the impact.

"Wow, I thought I was aiming to kill." Sabo said as he landed on the ground, parts of his body were of fire as he stood with a confident smile as he looked at Kimimaro. "Your defensive abilities must be strong to withstand my firepower."

Kimimaro stood up, unamused.

"You are of the Phenex clan." He muttered as he unzipped his shirt, the left sleeve falling down to reveal his chest and what appeared to be a tattoo on it.

It consists of three slightly curved lines, which spread in a rip-like pattern. The seal is located of the upper portion of Kimimaro's chest over his manubrium.

Sabo watched in slight fascination as the mark started to glow orange-red and expanded in lines spreading all over Kimimaro's body in contorting and parallel lines.

"Now, we can fight." Kimimaro stated as bones tore through his flesh.

Meanwhile…

"That little sand brat!" Aria shouted as she burst from the sand dome, now lifeless sand. "I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!"

Lightning cracked around her body before an intense gravity pressed her down.

"Calm down, Aria." Pyrrha said as she cleaned her pipe of the sand. "Your move will be predictable if you are angry."

Aria growled and ended her magic at the same time Pyrrha did.

"Fine." Aria stated as she turned to talk to Creusey and Shalba, but saw Shalba take off towards a floating fortress that was nearby.

Where Diodora had gone.

Creusey, on the other hand, flew to the chunk of land that Orochimaru was on with the leaders.

"Okay, that is a bad decision." Serendine commented as she got up, shaking the sand off of her body.

There was a spire of fire off in the distance, where Kimimaro and Sabo were fighting, and large amounts of sand in the opposite direction, where Naruto and Gaara were fighting.

"Well, I think I'll go kill the sand brat." Aria stated as she started to get up, but jumped in the air as Xenovia slammed her fist into the ground, creating a crater.

"Shit, I missed." Xenovia stated before she barely got her arm up to block Aria's enhanced punch, knocking the Rook off her feet and through the air.

Thankfully, Kuroka was able to grab and stop Xenovia's momentum and got her to the ground.

"Sorry, but you will fight us instead." Ravel said as she and her peerage landed on the ground, Ameyuri and Gilga growling within her shadow.

"Same here." Edward said as he, Pamela, and Groot arrived.

"I shall also join." Sona stated as she, Tsubaki, and Saji appeared. 'The rest of my peerage is out there helping the others evacuate. Rias went to get Asia back, and I hope nothing bad happens.'

Aria laughed as she stood up, getting a confused look from her enemies.

"You think a hand full of reincarnated devils and young purebloods can defeat me?" She asked, her laughter gone and replaced with a disturbed serious glare. "I survived the fucking war, so you punks have nothing I can't handle."

Pyrrha and Serendine agreed.

"However, I suggest we take a peerage each." Serendine stated as she looked at Sona. "I'll take girl with the glasses.

"I will take the Phenex, she already challenged me." Aria stated as she glared at Ravel.

"Guess that leaves me with the floral kid." Pyrrha stated in boredom as she looked at Edward.

Meanwhile, within the barrier…

Orochimaru did a mental head count of the people he was staring down.

"So, it is Sirzechs, Serafall, Falbium, Ajuka, Yasaka, Azazel, Kuma, Griselda, Vergo, Obito, and Grayfia vs me?" Orochimaru questioned in false fear as he touched his cheek. "Oh, what ever shall I do against such monsters from the horrible faction war, and then survivors of the devil civil war?"

"Cut the crap snake." Falbium stated as he drew his sword and pointed it at the snake yokai. "Undo this barrier right now, and we might show you mercy."

Orochimaru smirked as he moved his hand to his forehead in theatrics.

'Obito…' Yasaka thought with chakra, connecting it to the man, who nodded to show he heard her. 'Use your ability to get help. Go to Odin and ask him for reinforcements for the others attacking.'

Obito nodded and he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Orochimaru pouted as he witnessed Obito escape within his vortex, but didn't care that much.

"But I can't take down this barrier, after all, if I did, the release of your true powers would vaporize all the children that are fighting." Orochimaru reminded them, making the Satan's flinch as he himself bit his finger.

He did the hand signs for Tiger, Snake, Dog, and Dragon before slamming his hand on the ground, a seal matrix appearing and spreading for six large circles to appear.

"Summoning Jutsu…" Orochimaru stated as six caskets rose from the seals. "Edo Tensei."

"No." Yasaka said in shock as she realized what Orochimaru was doing as the caskets dropped. "You bastard! HOW DARE YOU DESECRATE THEIR MEMORIES!"

Standing before the Satan's, Azazel, Kuma, Griselda, Vergo, Yasaka, and Grayfia were six yokai corpses.

Hashirama Senju, the Sacred Tree Yokai, the First Great Hero of Japan.

Tobirama Senju, the Holy Water Yokai, the Second Great Hero.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Monkey Sage, the Third Great Hero.

Minato Namikaze, the Second Toad Sage, the Fourth Great Hero.

Tsunade Senju, the Slug Princess, Granddaughter and Grandniece of Hashirama and Tobirama.

Jiraiya, the First Toad Sage, Master of Minato.

Their bodies were cracked and chipped in several places, in clothes and in flesh, which was a dark hue of gray as they stepped out of their caskets in their human forms with black sclera.

They all blinked.

"What is this place?" Minato asked as he looked around, his eyes widening as he saw his master, Tsunade and the previous three Heroes.

"You are in the Underworld, Minato." Orochimaru stated as he pulled out six kunai with fuda tags on them.

He dropped five as he moved to Hashirama, five Mud Clones appearing and taking the five kunai.

"Tobirama, I told you creating the Edo Tensei was a bad idea!" Hashirama scolded his younger brother, who crossed his arms and scoffed.

"I created it to defend our people of the Bael's Power of Destruction, giving us the upper hand if they ever attacked us." Tobirama retorted.

"And now its being used by me, and I perfected it too." Orochimaru stated as he stabbed his kunai into Hashirama's head, the five clones burying their kunai inside Tobirama, Hiruzen, Minato, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

The leaders watched as the flesh of the reanimated became normal flesh and the cracks vanished, their iris's and pupils fading and becoming white.

"You monster." Yasaka stated as she shook in anger. "I'll kill you!"

Her chakra spiked, but was no where her maximum due to being away from Kyoto's Leigh Lines, and her haki coated her hands to her elbows.

In an explosive display of mastery, Yasaka's Conqueror's Haki to knock out Orochimaru, being selective to only target him.

However, Hashirama stepped forward using his own Conqueror's Haki.

Those chakra sensitive would feel the domes of haki.

The barrier was filled exactly down the middle with the rivaling haki, black lightning sparking between Hashirama and Yasaka as each mentally battled to obtain the upper hand.

Two kunai flew past Yasaka's head, making her eyes widen as she saw the designs and the seal matrixes.

Minato and Tobirama appeared, grabbing their respectful Flying Raijin kunai, as they coated their weapons with haki.

"Down Fall Dragon: Another Armor!" Azazel shouted as he dawned his balance breaker and cut Minato in half with his Bident, revealing a strange interior, no blood, bones, or organs inside, just a gray dust like substance.

"Pad-Ho." Kuma stated as he thrust his ungloved hand forward in a palm strike, the air pressure repelled by his paw-pad shooting forward fast enough to push Tobirama back, breaking his arm.

Minato and Tobirama hit the ground, and at an instantaneous speed, ash and dust started to get pulled towards them and their bodies healed themselves as they stood back up.

"That won't work!" Yasaka shouted in strain as she kept fighting Hashirama, whose face was covered in senjutsu markings, for dominance with their conqueror's haki. "The Edo Tensei is unbeatable, unless you seal them or make the castor undo the technique! Killing him won't do anything!"

As that information settled, Tsunade jumped into the air, arm pulled back.

Grayfia jumped forward to stop her, but was surprised to see Hiruzen appear before her with a staff in hand.

"ENMA, EXTEND!" Hiruzen shouted as a massive eye appeared on the staff, revealing it was one of his hair clones turned into a weapon.

Enma expanded, embedding itself into Grayfia's stomach and pressing her against the barrier, making her scream in pain as electricity and fire burned her before she fell to the ground.

Tsunade struck the ground, breaking it down, and making Yasaka lose balance and more importantly, focus.

Yasaka's eyes widened as Hashirama's dominance surrounded her, showing a massive buddha-like shadow of his chakra looming over her as it slammed it's hand down upon her.

In reality, Yasaka's will to fight was broken, and she took a knee.

"Yasaka!" Michael shouted as he saw her fall.

"I'm fine." Yasaka grunted as she was fighting the heavy pressure that she was subjected to. "Just… Need to rest."

"That's fine." Azazel stated as he and the Satan's squared off with the four Heroes of Kyoto and Tsunade. "We can fight them while you recover. Bro, keep them safe."

Michael nodded and closed his eyes, making a small circular barrier of healing magic as Grayfia helped Yasaka into it.

Wood sprouted and morphed into a buddha behind Hashirama.

Tobirama ran through hand signs at lightning-fast speeds as water vapor formed water and became a dragon.

Hiruzen made shadow clones.

Minato drew another kunai as a Rasengan spun to life in his hand.

Tsunade's forehead mark opened and the markings spread across her forehead and cheeks.

Jiraiya entered his true toad form, his eyes becoming toad like as thicker red marks appeared on his face as he grew a small beard. His body getting thicker and his hands and feet becoming webbed.

Sirzechs, Serafall, Ajuka, and Falbium dropped their inhibitions and their warrior mentalities from the faction war returned.

Grayfia, who was still wounded from the barrier, stood beside Vergo as their magic flared alongside their king's, with Vergo shedding his jacket and shirt to reveal his toned body.

The Sound Five Members creating the barrier faltered a bit at the pressure the Satan's released, nearly breaking the barrier.

'Shit, they are strong… stronger than I could ever imagine.' Orochimaru thought as his hair was whipped back. 'Good thing my job is to just keep them occupied, because I don't think I can survive this fight, but I might as well have some fun.'

Orochimaru tilted his head back and opened his mouth, a snake came from the depths of his stomach and opened its mouth to reveal a sword handle.

'That bastard.' Yasaka thought as she realized the snake sword, one that imitated the properties of Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

Kuma and Griselda were within the smaller white barrier.

'I can't believe it.' Griselda thought as she felt weak in the knees. 'I am weak.'

Kuma put a hand on her shoulder in comfort.

Orochimaru laughed as he watched the leaders and their right hands prepare.

"Kill them." Orochimaru ordered.

'This…' Creusey thought as he watched the battle start. 'Is a battle for the ages.'

Floating Fortress…

Rias felt her heart pound in her chest as she and her peerage walked up the curving stone steps.

'Hold on Asia, we will save you.' Rias thought in worry as she turned on the steps and saw that the route split in two.

"Welcome, Rias Gremory." Diodora stated with magic, his voice echoing through the air. "Please, make yourselves at home."

"WHERE IS ASIA YOU BASTARD!" Issei shouted in a rage.

Diodora laughed darkly at Issei's outburst.

"In due time, dragon." Diodora replied as he watched the Gremory Peerage on a magic screen. "But first, you have to take the two routes before you. On the left route, my Queen, my Knights, and my Bishops await. On the right, my Rooks, and my Pawns await. Divide your peerage and take each route."

Diodora cut the connection, making Rias sigh.

"I guess we have to play his game." Rias stated before she turned to her peerage. "Akeno, Kiba, Irina, and myself will take the left and fight the Queen, Knights, and Bishops. Issei, Gasper, Koneko. You will take the right route and face the Rooks and Pawns."

"Yes, Rias." The peerage said in unison, all preparing themselves.

Rias walked up to Issei and cupped his cheek, drawing his attention from the floor to her face.

"We will get Asia back." Rias told him, looking into his eyes. "I promise."

Issei nodded, smirking as he activated his Boosted Gear.

"Right." He said confidently.

Rias smiled as she released his face and the two groups split up, headed by Rias and Issei.

Meanwhile…

"Okay, let's go!" Odin stated loudly as he dawned his golden armor, his never-miss spear Gungnir in hand.

Obito nodded as he activated his Kamui, sending both himself and the All-Father with a small group of Valkyries to the Underworld, above the barrier.

"I BROUGHT REINFORCEMENTS!" Obito shouted as he used Moonwalk to stay in the air as Odin and the Valkyrie started fighting the Khaos Brigade members.

He could feel Yasaka and the others fighting, and he was in awe at the sight of the Heroes of Kyoto, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.

'Impossible.' Obito thought as he watched. 'They are dead.'

'Obito…'

"Lady Yasaka?"

'Get Kakashi, and work together to break this barrier!' Yasaka ordered as she helped block a massive Rasengan.

Obito nodded and took off towards Kakashi.

Phenex Peerage…

Aria Barbatos smirked as she was surrounded by Ravel, Lee, Kakashi, Fenrir, Xenovia, Kuroka, and Rossweisse.

"You think having numbers over me allows you to have an advantage." Aria stated as she summoned an ornate spear as lightning arched around her. "But you are peons compared to me."

She swung her spear in a wide arc, whipping the air before she jumped forward, spear prepared to strike Lee.

Lee jumped up and spun around.

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!" Lee shouted as he kicked her in the back of the head.

Nothing happened as she took the kick.

"Pretty good, Oni." Aria stated as she grabbed Lee's foot and crushed it, making Lee scream in pain. "But against my Strength Magic, my defenses are to strong, along with my offensive."

Lee saw his life flash before his eyes before Ravel appeared before them, taking the spear through the chest.

"RAVEL!" everyone shouted.

"I'm fine!" Ravel shouted, blood splashing across the ground as she was healing. "I'm good."

Aria frowned as she threw Lee aside and looked down at Ravel, seeing her shadow split in two to reveal Ameyuri and Gilga had merged with her shadow and were providing Ravel with power.

(She used this in chapter 8 if you forgot)

"So, your dogs are emulating my magic?" Aria asked as she ripped her spear from Ravel's chest to deflect Durandal, which was let got for Xenovia to punch Aria again, her arm rattling as Aria took the punch. "You are annoying!"

She grabbed stabbed her spear into the ground, using it to pole vault high enough to stomp Xenovia into the ground.

'FUCK!' Xenovia thought as she felt like her spine was going to break.

'She is too strong.' Ravel thought as she looked up from the ground as her body finished its auto healing. 'Her Strength Magic makes her to durable…'

Rossweisse, meanwhile, evaded Aria's attack and grabbed Xenovia in one swift movement to get her away.

'I have to use the armor.' She thought as she could see the difference between herself and Aria. 'I… no. I can't use it. I won't be able to control it if I use it!'

Rossweisse blocked with a Norse Seal, which shattered and she was stabbed in the shoulder before she was forced onto the ground, Aria's foot on her face.

"This is boring." Aria stated as she torturously and slowly pulled her spear from Rossweisse's body, making the Queen wail. "I wanted a challenge."

Kakashi, in his fury, tackled Aria off of Rossweisse, laving the spear in her shoulder as he slammed Aria into the base of the building's stone wall.

He proceeded to punch her in the face, barely damaging her as his hands started to hurt even with haki.

"HOW DARE YOU!" he shouted as he pulled his right hand back, black lightning crackling to life in his hand. "LIGHTNING BLADE!"

He hit her in the throat, Aria's eyes wide as she took the attack without resistance.

"Reflect." She whispered.

Kakashi's hand bounced back, his jutsu ending before his hand smacked him in the face and pushing him off of her.

"That was close." Aria stated as she got up, her gold armor dented and dirtied, a large chunk of her magic drained. "But not enough to break my defense, but you got close, made me use my Reflect ability."

'But does it work on the inside?' Kakashi thought as he got back up, building up chakra in his Sharingan.

Aria sighed and went to kill Kakashi with her hands, only for her attack to be deflected by Kuroka, her eyes closed as she focused on Observation.

"Oh, a Resshuken user?" Aria said in surprise. "This will be fun."

Kuroka didn't reply as she remained loose and deflected another attack, followed by her own haki infused kick.

"I actually felt that one, kitty!" Aria stated as she started to smile. "This is starting to get good, never thought I would feel this way since the war!"

Kuroka evaded and blocked more punches before she took hold of Aria's wrist and threw her over her shoulder.

Her leg was raised high, coated in haki before Kuroka delivered a devastating axe kick to Aria's head.

Meanwhile…

Serendine looked at Sona, Tsubaki, and Saji (Who was decked out in all his sacred gears) as she drew her straight sword.

Sona's eyes narrowed.

'That sword.' She thought as she saw very, VERY subtle vibrations in the blade as Serendine held the blade. 'What magic does she use?'

"If you are wondering, I use a special Sound Magic." Serendine stated as she looked at her opponents, who looked at her with partial disbelief and confusion. "What? Oh, I guess you think I am lying. But I prefer having a fair fight, and so that is why I told you my magic."

Serendine's eyes narrowed as she swung her sword in a semi-circle around her, getting Sona, Tsubaki, and Saji ready as dozens of thin sword blades appeared with the movement of Serendine's weapon.

"Second Movement: Sword Rain." Serendine stated as she flourished her blade, like a whip, and with a flick of her wrist, the floating blades flew towards the three.

"Mirror Alice!" Tsubaki stated as she clapped her hands and then spread her arms as wide as possible, creating a glowing violet mirror.

The blades hit the mirror, breaking it before they bounced backwards and struck Serendine in her torso and limbs, a look of shock and disbelief on her face.

'Seems I was being naïve.' Serendine thought through the pain as she stumbled. 'I need to take her out first.'

She sheathed her sword.

"First Movement…" Serendine coughed as she slowly drew her sword.

A loud, high-pitch sound pierced through the air, hitting Tsubaki and breaking her glasses as she collapsed, blood and covering the ground from her nose as she convulsed.

"Gentle Wail." Serendine stated as she drew her sword completely. "That dealt with the annoyance."

"TSUBAKI!" Sona shouted as she knelt next to her Queen, who gasped for air. 'She used a sound so loud it ruptured the blood vessels in Tsubaki's head.'

"Don't worry, I purposely left her alive." Serendine stated as she pulled the swords from her body, throwing them to the ground. "But that was because I don't like killing with that technique. But…"

Serendine posed with the sword in both hands before her, her eyes showing disdain.

"I don't mind killing you with this… Zepar." Serendine stated as her magic lit up and covered her entirely as her magic spiked.

"Sona," Saji said in worry as he felt his body screaming at him to run. "Get Tsubaki to safety."

"Saji, don't be…"

"JUST DO IT!" Saji shouted as he witnessed the light fade to reveal Serendine.

No longer did she look like an adult woman with pink hair. She now had the appearance of a small imp with dragon wings, hooves, two pairs of horns, a furry tail, and a third eye.

Her long pink hair was done in a braided pony tail and she was now as small as a child at four foot seven.

"Let's continue." Serendine stated in a child like voice, showing that this was a physical body transformation, not just an illusion.

Meanwhile…

Edward, Pamela, and Groot watched Pyrrha exhale smoke before she emptied her pipe of the tobacco.

"Let's just finished this." Pyrrha stated as she gripped her pipe at the mouth piece before it grew in size to reveal it was actually a shrunken scythe with a hammer head on the back.

With a simple swing, the hammer head piece struck the ground, magic spreading across the ground.

"Gravity Zone: Zero." Pyrrha stated as the large area under her, Edward, Pamela, and Groot became zero, and they started to float off the ground.

"I am Groot?" Groot questioned in shock.

"I see, this is a cute type of magic." Edward said as he floated over and caught Pamela in his arms. "Wouldn't you agree, my Queen?"

"Of course, my King." Pamela replied as she smiled in his embrace.

Pyrrha was slightly confused, but ignored it as she brandished her scythe.

"I know I am not to jazzed about fighting, but I was ordered to fight." She stated as she fixed her gravity to be normal, and once her feet hit the ground, she sprung off it like a trampoline and skewered Groot through the torso, tearing him open before he was weighed down and hit the ground, embedding into the earth as Pyrrha landed on the ground again while Edward and Pamela looked in partial horror as Groot wailed in pain like a child. "So, take this seriously, you smug shits."

Chapter 51, DONE!

Fights underway and ready to be filled out.

I know I am cock-teasing you all, but I need to take my time, or else they come off as rushed and uninteresting.

And I don't believe I am good with fights, so if you have suggestions for the fights, please let me know.

Aria Barbatos, Serendine Zepar, and Pyrrha Leraje are OC's of mine, and if anyone can guess their powers, you get cookies.

I hope 2021 is treating all of you a bit better. I know its still early, but I have some grounded high hopes
