Exodus, Zen
February 6, X390
A week has passed since the major defeat of the Spriggan 12 Out of all the people seriously damaged, Noah Clive was still out of commission taking a major beating in terms of morale and our bodies. We were down, things seemed hopeless, it felt like the world was going to end any day now.
We were all relocated to Zen, carried by Rider dragons there and treated by Grandeeney, we spent the whole week wondering what comes next.
"How's Metalicana and Igneel?" Irene asked Grandeeney.
"They're lucky to be alive. The Curse magic Mard Geer used bypassed their scales entirely and almost destroyed their vital organs. I have never seen a dragon so badly injured ." Grandeennedy explained to Irene somberly.
"Are they going to be okay?" Irene asked her.
"They'll live, thankfully the dragon scales negated most of the damage. Had they been humans, they would've been vaporized. Metalicana's Iron defenses also spared them from destruction. You all would cease to exist along with the entire town had it not for Metalicana Iron Dome. Igneel is worse off still, is suffering from curse damage as his body was damaged to the point even a gentle breeze feels like razor blades to the skin.''Grandeenedy explained to me about the severe state of Igneel and Metalicana's injuries. Never have I've seen Upper A-Class Dragons so easily defeated before, while they were both far from their potential, just their current power alone dreaded the power of 1000 C class Dragons.
"Can this get any worse? The threat of Tartarus rivals that of the Dark Dragon Tribe. If we fail to stop this threat, what chance do we have in winning this war? The war at this point is the least of our worries if END is born" Irene explained to them.
"There's some good news, I was able to treat your family members with vemonisky making a cure to Magical Particle Barrier disease however notes that they're going to suffer residual side effects of the poisoning in the long term." Grandeeney explained to Irene.
"That's great news, Noah needs it badly though, he fought one of the Tartarus members and is suffering pretty badly thanks to it.''Irene explained to the sky dragon.
"Your Cousin Rena would be joining you to assist in your rescue of Anna Heartfilla."Grandeneedy said to Irene.
"Rescue? How can we even find them?"Irene asked her.
"Victor has a plan to rescue his daughter. You might want to go to him."Grandeeney stated.
"I will but first, I need to see how my family is doing."Irene replied as she went to check on her family.
Meanwhile in the Serenity Kingdom
The weakening of the Dragonv Alliance didn't go unnoticed by our rival nations, they noticed the damage and devastation happening within the nations of Fiore, Bosco, Seven and Dragonv and learned the news of Igneel being hospitalized along with the news they're stationed in Zen, seeing a rare opportunity.
A massive dragon that has golden dragon scales walks through the hallways of the Castle within, he towered 30 meters, taller than most dragons and heavier than most as walking cracks the ground below.
On the throne was an elderly man who was sitting on the throne. He had long shoulder length grayish hair that had black streaks on it however he was bald on the top, having been within his late 50's to early '60s. He had a long beard and mustache and was slightly overweight, he was of average height but hunched down a bit due to his old age. He wore standard kings overalls held up by a belt at the waist, under a cape, all worth a small fortune of money alone, enough to buy a small town.
"King Victor Von Serena!" said the Golden Dragon.
"What is it, Grand General God-King Franir ?" The king said to him as he bowed to his feet.
We have a rare opportunity to destroy the Dragonv Alliance."Franir said to the king pitching an opportunity of a lifetime.
"Do we now?" the King asked the Dragon King.
"Due to the chaos caused by the demons, Fiore is without a queen, Zentopia is without a pope and Dragonv is without a queen. This is our opportunity to strike." Franir stated as he was saying to the king.
"Go on!" The King replied liking what he was hearing.
"Even better is that the Son of Hope Primus and the Son of Megadron are both incapacitated from battle, meaning that the dragon Protection Squad is completely crippled, combined the ones within in the country of Zen, we can get a major victory if we Launch an invasion into Neighborhooding Nations of Seven, Bosco and Fiore." Franir explained to the king of Serenity.
"Sounds good to me, assemble the army. Get my son Rung to assist the army."Victor said the dragon.
"You mean that problem child? He's not a fan of the Status Quo with dragons."Franir said to the king,
"Maybe so but he'll get used to the rules around here. Us humans serve the needs of your dragons, his mother learned the hard way what happens when you crossed the natural order of life. Get him out of his holding cell in the castle dungeon." Victor said to the dragon.
"Is it really worth getting that little shit out of the cell?" Franir questioned the order.
"He's hardly little, the man is going to be 31 by the end of the year, besides he's the best swordsman in the country and is a blacksmith master, his dream is to construct a weapon capable of killing dragons, a foolish dream but he's very strong." Victor Von Serena explained to the Dragon.
"Very well then, problem child has helped us repel those Viking and Valkyrie raids the last few years. Once we capture Fiore, we can use their resources to help rebuild this failing empire cut off from the rest of the world, and soon my Golden Empire would be restored to its prime long before Dragonv existed."Farnir replied as he agreed to the child.
In The castle dungeon stood a man of average height mall with long, fair hair, droopy eyes, and a small goatee with peach fuzz on his face, the man had a scar on his right eye. He was shirtless currently and was pretty ripped, having a 6 pack and some strong muscular arms
"What the hell do you guys want? Can't you see i'm training here?" the man said to the king.
"Son, it's time you help us fight a war." The king said to his son Rung.
"Now you need me, okay old man. So the Dragnov war began? It's 7 years earlier than I was expecting." Rung said to his father.
"Not quite, however, you would help me capture Fiore, Seven, and Bosco to cripple the Dragonv alliance and use those countries' resources for warfare." King Victor stated.
"I can care less, to be honest, I want to destroy Dragonv."Rung replied as he does his pushups ignoring his father.
" You are the strongest of your brothers, we have groomed you to be a perfect tool to take out the Queen of Dragons from day one either during the war or if you're arranged to marry her. Either Way, you're the future of the Von Serena family." King Victor explained to his son.
"Come to me again when you have a real war to fight father if i'm fighting, i'm fighting when i make my weapon. Your border skirmishes are futile, as long as we're fighting this war on our own, we don't have the strength to take Dragonv." Rung explained to his father pointing out that in reality, a weakened empire has no chance against a global empire like Dragonv.
" You can't make your weapon in prison son, if you help us out here, we would let you try to make your dragon-slaying sword." King Victor stated trying to appease his son but the son seemed stubborn.
"You disgust me father, do you have no integrity whatsoever? You and countless rulers like you letting yourselves be ruled over by dragons who look down on us like we're insects." Rung stated, refusing to help out for the dragon's gains.
"Not this again how many times i have to tell you that overthrowing the Dragon Order is impossible." King Victor replied, trying to convince the son of his fultity.
"I find it absolutely pathetic that an inferior creature such as women can run whole kingdoms of dragons yet us men, chosen by God to rule over women, are stuck under the thumbs of these vile beasts. We in Serenity are a country blessed by God almighty himself and are true holders of the Zentopian fate yet somehow Zentopia has a Pope who can fight dragons, an inferior sect of Zentopia who puts the power of god in those greedy, scheming bureaucrats and not the king. You cower in fear of the dragons, what kind of king are you?" Rung shouted at his father, condemning his father for being an incompetent, weak king.
"One that has helped keep the Von Serena name running this kingdom for generations." King Victor shouted back, yelling at his son.
"By selling out our family, don't think i haven't forgotten what became of mother thanks to you."Rung replied.
"Son, she left me no choice. The dragons within the dragon council are far beyond your powers, you can train for 1,000 years and you will never come close to an S Tier dragon much less Franir. Frainir is the reason the Serenity Kingdom was even formed. You might think of me being a cowardly king but Franir is known as Frainr the Invincible, even the Queen of Dragons mother in her prime couldn't beat this monster, we were unlucky she beat Morton and the war ended but trust me when i say you want no part of fighting the Dragon Council so abandon your silly hopes of being able to slay dragons. Unless you have a Holy sword-like Dragonv, you can never slay an S Class Dragon." King Victor explained to his son only for his son to grab his father.
"And this right here is why you're one of the most pathetic kings we've ever had. You're a spineless coward who only thinks about self-preservation and has no principles. Long before Dragonv, the Serenity Kingdom was the mightiest Kingdom within the world, those dirty monkeys down in the Southern kingdom didn't compare, those slanted eye worms within the Eastern Kingdom couldn't measure either, now we're a pathetic, dying empire barely able to maintain our lands from those dirty barbarian rats within Isvaniana, all because of the decline of real men in this kingdom and all thanks to weak leaders like you."Rung explained to his father, going on a racist tirade against other cultures who he viewed inferior to the Serenrites.
"You made your point son,"King Victor replied.
"When was the last time someone within the Royal Family even fought in a war, i joined the Dragonv War when i was still 10 years old and had a taste of the battlefield and since then have been training myself to fight in proxy wars across this kingdom's borders and within Middle Earthland, helping those stupid sand monkeys all because we have a common hatred for Dragonv while you and 3 brothers just sit there in your decadence, violating all of our God's laws and commandments, sleeping with whores, getting drunk, doing those filthy drugs from Cina and having our mother killed I had to even kill one of my brothers because he became too much of a degenerate, this is how low our family has fallen." Rung explained to his father his shortcomings and sins.
"Not all of us can be perfect choir boys like you, why do you complain, you are born of incredible wealth, you can buy your own kingdom with your wealth." the father pleaded with Rung but Rung seemed too stone cold.
"Money is nothing without purpose. Anyways I'll help out when i can, mark my words father, in 5 years, i would be running my own kingdom away from this pathetic shell of a kingdom and i will conquer even S Class dragons, surpass the Queen of Dragons and even take her kingdom, either through force or marriage or both, then i'm going to show you all how to run a country under god." Rung replied as he finished his pushups and walked out of the cell.
In the Tartarus Cube
Meanwhile, Anna was held within the dungeon below the Tararos castle within the Cube. Anna was beyond embarrassed having been stripped naked in front of her torturer. She was naked with her massive breasts bare.
"I must admit, I'm thoroughly impressed you survived that little trick you did. I thought for sure we had a goner there and we would go back to Alpha. Thank god I happen to have that miserable old fart Keith, his knowledge of medicines saved us the trouble of attempting to Necromance you."Kyouka said to Anna as she looked at her nude body with lust.
"Why do this to me? Give me my clothes back."Anna shouted as she panicked massively.
"And miss this wonderful body of yours? You've grown a lot, Anna. It feels like yesterday I was changing your diapers and helping you learn about the bible. Now here you are with your sweet fine body of yours, ripe and ready to go.'Kyouka explained to Anna perversely looking at her body.
"Quit looking at me you vile demon."Anna shouted at her.
"Any way to talk to your former babysitter Anna?" Kyouka taunted as she walked towards her. Anna was frightened, embarrassed, and scared.
"What the hell happened to you, how did you become that kind of thing you are?" Anna asked her trying not to show fear.
"I should be asking the questions here but since we have plenty of time, simple, your father killed us for being expressive with our love." Kyouka explained to her.
"So even back then, you were a twisted soul?"Anna said to Kyouka as she condemned her.
"Like the church is any better."Kyouka replied with a smug smile.
" Don't you blasphemy against the church you monster" Anna shouted at her.
"Did I strike a nerve? I happen to work with the Zentopian Legion Corps, I've done stuff that was beyond what you pious types could think of, i was dirty long before i got into the sheets with my girlfriend Kyouka yet not once your father bat an eye on that."Kyouka smirked.
"You're lying, My father would never allow for such blatant misuse of the religion for such dirty ill-gotten gains."Anna shouted at her.
"Except he did, all men like him are dirty, that's how your society is built but don't worry, unlike you hypocritical humans, us Etherious are straightforward with our intentions. Do tell me, Anna, have you ever been this undressed outside of the bathing quarters? Feels good to be so indecently exposed." Kyouka taunted the Archbishop while licking her lips.
"You monster, I'll kill you the moment i get out of here." Anna yelled at Kyouka as she tried to break free but it was impossible to do so.
"Such an empty threat, even with your trump card, you couldn't even manage to kill Seliah, i'm even stronger than her, next to Mard Geer and Brandman, i'm the strongest here, Not even your precious Queen of Dragons has any hope of beating me there's also the fact you're under Magic sealing chains and cuffs, those chains can withstand even the force of a Dragon's mighty strength, you're nothing without your keys either so i'm hardly threatened by your words." Kyouka mocked the Archbishop as she showed how much she's bluffing.
"Damn it!" Anna shouted as she was faced with overwhelming despair and fear.
"Don't worry though, while you're planned to be our sacrifice for END, you won't die here, as I've told you in the Zentopian Legion crop I've tortured information out of all sorts of people without killing them, besides you're a woman, i love torturing women more than anything, in more ways than one."Kyouka said to Anna as she licked her was frightened.
"WHERE's ECLAIR?" Anna shouted at Kyouka.
"I already finished having my fun with her, she was delicious, her screams of pain were delightful. " Kyouka said to Anna, mocking her.
"YOU MONSTER!"Anna shouted.
"Mard Geer said i can't kill you, not that i wished to anyways if you were a man i probably have killed you already but since you're a supple fine young woman, i think i might have you revived and made my plaything once we sacrifice you to END."Kyouka explained to Anna her sinister intentions as Kyouka grabbed her chin."Don't worry, if you give me the information we want about the location of the 6 Infinity Clock pieces, i won't defile this sweet body of yours," Kyouka explained to Anna the situation is in.
"I sooner die than sell out the human race to you." Anna shouted as she spits on her face.
"I was hoping you would say that"Kyouka replied as she went to grab her and lowered her fingers with her Sensation magic and reached below her, towards her lower region.
"NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARRRARRGGGH!" Anna screamed in pain as she was being electrocuted with intense pain.
"Painful isn't it? I don't blame you, even that dragon who blocked me from killing the Dragon Queen, Hence how Mard Geer got the edge over him in the first place. Fufufu, let me hear that beautiful orgasmic scream of yours." Kyouka moaned as she licked her face, her tongue containing Sensation Magic.
"GRRRAAHHH!"Anna screamed in pain as her body feels like it was struck by lightning.
"My magic allows me to control your sensations, I can make you feel intense pain or even tense pleasure."Kyouka smirked as she licked her lips.
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"Anna shouted as she is then whipped across the stomach by Kyouka's claw-like whip AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"Tell us the location of the Clock Pieces. "Kyouka demanded as she had another change of Sensation magic.
"NEVER! DO YOUR WORST!" Anna replied as she was prepared for more pain yet wasn't prepared as Kyouka her boobs and electrocutes them"AAHHRRHRHRGHRHGH"
"Let's see how well you're last against my Sensation torture my Pious Student. Keep this up and I just might have to have more than just a pain sensation on you" Kyouka said to the pious Archbishop as she licks her lips.
Back at Zen
Irene arrives at the medical bay within one of the tents outside of the temple to visit her family including the Queen of Fiore.
"Aunt, Uncle, Cousins!" Irene said to them, shocked they're recovered, all but Rena remained bedbound.
"Irene!" They all replied as they hugged her.
"How is everything?" Fredrick asked her
"Horrible, we barely survived the battle with Tartarus, they were far stronger than I thought, worse yet, Anna was captured." Irene explained to her Uncle.
"Anna was captured?" Asuka asked, horrified.
"What's worse than they even incapacitated Igneel and Metalicana, we're dealing with a threat on par with the Dark Dragon tribe."I unexplained to them how bad things were at the moment, we couldn't be in a worse predicament.
"Igneel and Metalicana. How is that possible? I thought dragons were immune to magic. Not even the strongest human generals come close to hurting an Elite Dragon." Rena said, shocked to hear this.
"Ehterious don't use magic, they use curses which is far more powerful, so much so that Victor Heartfilla who came close to killing their leader Mard Geer has defeated thanks to that witch Kyouka's Sensation Curse. Likewise, Noah Clive was close to also beating his opponent Brandman when he was poisoned by the same dark poison that almost killed all of you." Irene explained to them.
"Even Noah Clive failed to protect you guys?" Sabre asked Irene.
"The Etherious are truly formidable if their power wasn't bad enough, even if you overcome their mighty strength and power, you have to deal with their Curses that can ignore the differences of magic power itself.''Irene explained to everyone.
"How do we beat something that fierce?" Frederick asked the Queen of Dragons.
"Victor has a plan for us, something we must do, Rena you're going to help us?" Irene asked her cousin.
"No doubt about that, they killed my master Rangorok, they almost killed you, they almost killed my family and killed my countrymen, just tell me the word and we hunt them down."Rena answered more than happy to get payback on the Tartarus Army.
"How's the rest of you? Up for helping us out." Irene asked for the rest of her family.
"Sorry I'm still not 100%," Jackson said to Irene" Besides my powers are entirely useless against them, I can't deflect their curse magic.I'll be dead weight if I joined you.
"I'm also not recovered, besides with Eric and Rick, both are stronger and better enchanters than me, i would join you but I'm not cleared to go either." Jacob replied as he didn't look all that well.
"If they can take out a legendary Golden Celestial Spirit Mage like Anna Heartfilla, I doubt I fare any better with my Arc of Embodiment magic. Anna has long surpassed my strength, hell at this point she's easily stronger than most of us in this room combined yet she was defeated as easily as the rest of my country needs me at the moment." Sabre explained to her how she was not going to fare much better than Anna, which is true.
"And we're simply too old to fight like we did when your mother was alive, we also haven't recovered from our poisoning, after battling just one of those Etherious, it's a miracle you're all in one piece fighting 11 of them." Asuka said to her niece.
"We will get payback for you all, follow me Rena" Irene said to her family.
"Right Cousin." Rena repiled.
Irene and Rena entered the tent where Victor was at the base of operations. Victor was in a very serious and irritable mode.
"You're late!" Victor said to Irene with a glare.
"Was checking on my family. Any word on Noah Clive's condition?" Irene asked him.
"He's okay, Grandeeney is applying the treatment that saved your family's life, it seems Rena is here to take his place for now. Once we treat him, he would be sent back to Fiore with the queen, once we find the enemy,we're going to get Fiore and Dragonv forces to get them down." Victor answered explaining his whereabouts.
"Yes, we must avenge all the countless lives Tarturus has taken." Irene replied with anger in her eyes.
"We can't afford any more time wasted. My Daughter's life hangs in the balance." Victor said to everyone. He was beyond furious but he tried to hide it with his stoic tone.
"So what's the game plan?We got our asses handed to us by them, we even take them with one of our own captured?" Irene asked the Pope.
"Our only hope now is to hope Anna can hold out the torture long enough for us to get all the Clock Pieces. It pains me what those demons are doing to her as we speak." Victor replied as he tried to hold back his tears.
"No problem, once we find them, we blow those pieces up and hence no threat." Nel smirked thinking she had the right idea.
"I'm afraid that's impossible, they're made of an indestructible material." Victor replied.
"You guys really regret doing that don't you?" Lexiel asked the pope.
"Yeah, nearly 400 years ago, this clock was what led to the reformation of Zentopia as a religion and was supposed to bring about the One Magic but it caused so much chaos that it had to be stopped."Victor explained to his crew.
"What was the purpose of the Infinity Clock?" Irene asked him.
"Within the 1st century X of this millennium, the world was in Dark Dragon God emerged from the world, worse was the intervention of Askerhman which the dark dragon waged a war against the dark god. The Monarch of Dragons fell to the Dark Dragon not expecting the dragon to become so powerful in a short period of time. Humanity seems to be doomed until Lisa Heartfilla Appeared."Victor Heartfilla explained to Irene about the dark past of Zentopia.
"Lisa Heartfilla? I never heard of her." Irene stated.
"Neither have i!" Lena replied.
It's because it's the first time her name was brought up in almost 400 years. Because of the dark secret of the Infinity Clock, her name has been erased from the history books, only the elders of the Heartfilla family know of the Infinity Clock or her name and since it's creation, it's been passed down for generations for us to protect the secrets of the Infinity clock."Victor Heartfilla explained to everyone the dark secret of Anna.
"Why go through the trouble of such a weapon?" Nel asked him.
"Because the King of Dragons of time Dragonvich was killed in the war against the Demon Dragon King." Victor answered.
"How's that possible?" Irene asked him.
"Brandon was inexperienced with the use of its true power and that was his undoing, he came close to beating the Dark Dragon God but he failed at the end of it. He also tried to fight a god as well who is over 100 times more powerful than a god. It bought Lisa enough time to begin the construction of the Infinity Clock project." Victor explained to everyone the cause for the clock.
"How much time did he buy for Lisa?" Veronica asked.
"5 years, she spent 5 years developing her project to defeat even the mightiest Dragons and give humans a fighting chance against Gods and Dragons and to summon the Messiah to save the world. This became known as the Infinity Clock the clock was completed, she cast the spell Reality overdrive using all 12 of her Golden Celestial Spirits. With this power, she rewrote reality and was able to destroy the new Dark Dragon that emerged and severely weaken Aksehrman at a near-death state ending the destructive 5-year war, however, the clock came at a dreaded cost." Victor explained to them about the legend of Lisa Heartfilla.
"What has that cost?" Erenjack asked.
"The overwhelming power of the clock itself corrupted her and she became a tyrannical being of destructive power. The Infinity Clock absorbed so much power from both the Demon Dragon King and Askerhman became unstable and unleashed a Planetary spell known as Real Nightmare that devastated the entire planet. The sky became red, gravity was distorted, now formed within the desert, and deserts were formed from grasslands Even the heavens themselves were distorted Zentopia along with Dragonv banded together to destroy the Infinity CLock fearing that Lisa was too powerful to defeat." Victor said to the team explaining the apocalyptic powers the clock processed.
"What became of the clock and Lisa?" Rena asked.
"The clock was destroyed and Lisa was sealed away within the clock fearing the corruption of her soul would be irreparable. Zentopia sealed away the artifacts in 6 locations hidden around the world. The year 0ZB was deemed as the defining year. This is why the calendars went from BZ to X and this was the date after the Infinity Clock. The Heartfilla Family with the brother of Lisa, Michael Heartfilia who aided the heros in sealing his sister and stopping the infinity Clock canonizes his sister as a Martyr for the Zentopian religion, aiding in the destruction of Satan and the Demon Dragon King. Lisa Heartfilla was canonized as the Chosen One and Saint Micheal was an official saint within Zentopia."
"You said her name is struck from the History books."Irene stated.
"It was, she's merely called the Chosen One, her name was never mentioned, we only call her the chosen destroyed two threats to the world. It was what led to the rebirth of Zentopia forming the Born Again Zentopia Branch, a branch of Zentopia within Corcu Zentopia controlled by the Heartfilla family who strongly believes in second chances. The reformation of Zentopia would be known as the New Testament Era, an era in which Zentopia goes from Nation-building and conquests to an era of peace, love, and brotherhood. It would be the catalyst to the recent conflicts with the Traditional Crocus Zentopians that caused the events to occur. As for Saint Micheal Heartfillla, he became the 35th pope of Zentopia. Under his reign, Fiore began a great period of Prosperity and became known as the pope King having influence as great if not greater than the king of Fiore. Under his tenure, the Heartfilla Clan, originally a small noble family with ties to the Zentopian Church grew into a regional clan that would control Mongolia Town and would complete the Kalard Cathedral, a project delayed for centuries and turn. It would transform Magnolia to what would be called East Zentopia City, home of the Born Again Zentopian Movement which would grow over the years."
"In no wonder you guys are worried about them getting the Infinity Clock, if they get that power, the world can be destroyed." Irene stated, saying the obvious of the threat.
"If they get my daughter and use her as a Sacrifice to use the Infinity Clock and merge the Phoenix from the Phoenix Stone with their demon END, they would create an unstoppable chimera that would destroy the world and use the Infinity Clock to do so. We can't let them do that."Victor explained to them as his voice became less stoic and more frustrated.
"So how do we stop this and get your daughter and Eclair back?"Irene asked him.
"The 6 pieces to activate Infinity Clock are located within 6 different countries within abandoned churches throughout the known world." Victor answered.
"Where do we start?" Lexiel questioned the Pope.
"One is in Fiore itself within the Mountain Temple within Mount Atlantia said to be a church built 2,000 years ago when Crocus Zentopias were under Crocus Empire persecution and built a hidden church within the mountains which has a Labyrinth within the tunnels only the most devout follower knows the path, the church has been abandoned for over 300 years with a large golden door sealing the entrance. The clock engine is hidden there. Rick and Eric, you two are to retrieve it from the temple." Victor said to the duo of Eric and Rick.
"Okay, let's do this" Rick said to his bro as they shook hands.
"We can't let them destroy this world!"Rick replied.
"The other is within the underground ancient Zentopia city deep under the deserts of Zen between the Cities of Bethlehem and Exodus known as Terrahem, a city that was built during the Crocus Empire occupation of the Holy Lands, the ancient city is where the lost tomb of the Messiah of Zentopia was buried who was killed 2,000 years prior. The city was abandoned as Crocus Zentopian eventually found the city and further buried it, it was chosen as a place to hide the Infinity Clock circle piece. Irene, you will come with me to get there and we're going to bait out to see who takes the piece so they can follow them back to the location."Victor explained to Irene as they both plan to ambush Tartarus .
"Gotcha, I'll have one of the dragons follow their scene so we can get to rescue Anna."Irene said to Victor, determined to get revenge.
"And get our revenge."Victor replied, having an excitable tone over his usual stoic tone.
"Isn't that too dangerous? You two are going into unknown terrain that has unknown variables or unknown threats."Veronica stated.
"Yeah it is but between myself and Irene, we're the strongest here, it's our only chance to rescue Anna and stop the plan. Besides it's likely most of Tartarus would be searching for the clock pieces, we need to take any chance we got because right now we have no time to plan." Victor explained to them the plan he made in haste.
"Understandable."Veronica replied.
"The third Clock Piece was buried within a hidden temple within the lush subtropical mountains of Jungia. the Jungians long before Serenity occupied their lands worshiped a regional god which was a Blue easter head lining creature, the temple hidden in Mount Tropic would become an abandoned temple where the clock piece is hidden. The clock face is hidden there. Kinata Alberona, you go with Rena to search for the Clock's face." Victor said to the two as he told them the location.
"Okay then"Kinata said to him.
"DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID WITH MY COUSIN!" Irene shouted at the drunkard.
"I won't,"Kinata replied.
"Another location is a temple within the Island of Torjia in Gaceria which is a former temple submerged deep underwater due to the change in climate, a major Tsunami sunk this holy temple deep in the sea and could only be accessed by those who can breathe underwater and withstand intense water pressure. The church was used to hide the Piece due to it's hard to access entrance. The clock bell is in this temple. Linda, since you can dive underwater, you and Erenjack would go underwater and go to retrieve the Clock Piece." Victor said to the two of them as he paired the two together.
"Do I have to go with her?"Erenjack said to him, not wanting to go with his crazy stalker.
"Linda, thank you Pope!" Linda replied as she hugged Erenjack as he sighed.
"Now comes to the fifth piece, which is the clock hand which is hidden within the abandoned part of the Starry Hills Temple deep below Altair City, a hidden church deep below was said to be an early church under Zentopia however due to the age of the ruined temple, it was abandoned and the clock hand was hidden there. Nel and Lena, both of you would head there to retrieve the blockhead." Victor explained to Nel with their plans.
"Okay then! Nel said to him not mind working with a fellow flat-chested girl.
"We'll retrieve that piece,"Lena replied.
"And lastly, the clock's Legs are within the Kingdom of Zerba deep within Eastern Pangea where the Pangerian Ordotox Zentopia is popular within the region and have been clashing with Asekrhmani religious zealots to defend their land. The hidden temple of the Church of Zawge which is a hidden rock-carved church buried beneath the savannahs of the country said to have been an early church but an intense Monsoon caused the church to be buried in a mudslide over 800 years ago and only the church knows it's entrance hence buried the Stone thee, the area it's buried consists of very dangerous and predatory animals Lexiel and Veronica you two will search for the Clock's hand here."Victor said to the two of them.
"Gotcha!"Lexiel stated.
"We won't let you down."Veronica replied.
"At least I'm not teamed with him."Irene said to herself. before saying her thoughts to everyone" With the dragons at hand along with the search, we can take out the Tartarus threat"
Everyone heads out to go on their Dragons which would go take them to their destination fast with the exception of Irene and Victor who go on their camel to travel to the desert not far from Exodus
"Heading to find the Clock Pieces?"Belserion asked her as she hopped on a camel.
"Yep we gotta make sure the world is not destroyed."Irene replied.
"I'll help you find Anna and assist you if i can " Belserion said to him but before he can finish, Wesslogia and Skiadrum appear with bad news.
"We have an emergency," Wesslogia said to the Dragon.
"Really bad news,"Skiadrum shouted.
"What is it?" Belserion asked them.
"General King Franir is launching a direct strike at the Seven, Bosco, Iceberg and Fiore region, at least 3,000 dragons amassing at the area with 50,000 ground troops with 2,500 dragons and 40,000 troops massing at the border to Dragonv." Wessilogia explained to the commander and chief of the Dragonv Army.
"You gotta be kidding me? The Dark Dragon Tribe is attacking now.?" Irene asked.
"Not just the Serenity Empire allied with them. There's also a threat that the Jericohiens and Gabeians might be testing the borders of Zeno." Skiadrum answered.
"They must know we're weakened so our rivals are testing the borders."Skiadrum replied.
"What do we do?" Irene asked them.
"Sorry, Irene I have to go and intercept Franirs force at Dragonv and try to start the war early thinking that they are weak." Belserion said to the queen of Dragons.
"But we need you against Tartarus? They're so powerful that even all our combined forces weren't enough." Irene stated.
"Franir is a very serious threat, one that only I can stalemate" Belserion replied.
"Stalemate?" Irene asked him.
"In 1,000 years, not a single being has managed to beat him, not even the previous monarchs of dragons. Even your mother, a legend amongst the Dragon Monarchs and Satsuki herself can only hope to stalemate this dragon." Belserion explained to the queen of Dragons.
"How did Serenity ever lose a war if Franir is that powerful? How did Dragonv even get founded?" Irene questioned the Sage Dragon.
"Franir doesn't like losing battles and usually retreats when his army is beaten. He only lost the war because the other nations surrendered. He came close to losing against your mother though and against Satsuki, it's likely he's getting old much like me and losing his power overtime but even so, at your current level, you won't last a minute against him." Belserion explained to the queen of dragons as he states the reality of her powers.
"Can you stop his advances?" Irene asked him.
"I can try for a bit, I'm the only one aside from a master Hoshigami No Satsuki user who can slow his advances down. Wessilogia and Skiadurm would need to assist me though." Belserion asked her.
"Does this Franir rule the Serenity Kingdom?" Irene asked him.
"Yes, he's ruled over that kingdom since the year the Crocus Empire reigned, he was a brutal ruler who maintained the Anti Human traditions the Dark Dragon Tribe did." Belserion answered by explaining the power of Franir.
"Why didn't anyone try to stop him?" Irene questioned the sage Dragon.
"Because the actual Dark Dragon Tribe that ruled the Akalaitka continent was so powerful, Franir during the Dragonv foundation war in a rare move teamed up with Satsuki to beat them and in the First Dragon War, Franir feared losing to your mother so badly that he tactically retreated and cling to the remaining crumbling empire of Serenity. The Tartarus army is going to be the ultimate test for you and your comrades, if you can beat them, you can beat almost any dragon. The world depends on your success." Belserion explained to Irene the fate of the world rests on her.
"We won't, we're going to put an end to Tartarus." Irene replied confident in her abilities.
"So it seems it's up to us." Victor said to Irene.
"Yep, hopefully, we can do this." Irene replied.
"God pray that my baby girl is okay. Also, forgive me for the sins I'm about to do when i get my hands on Mard Geer and Brandman!" Victor said to himself as he raised for war.
Back at the Cube
Kyouka was electrocuting Anna again and again. Anna had bruises, small burns all over her body, and sweat dripping down her body.
"Impressive, you lasted all of 5 hours against my torture. You truly are your father's child. As unbreakable as it comes. I must admire your tenacity and devotion to the faith, reminds me of me back in my old days, perhaps I'm using the wrong method of torture. I can have you crushed under the foot of a dragon and you wouldn't talk."
"Then you realized your efforts are futile right?" Anna said to Kyouka.
"Oh far from futile, you're not the first person i met where brute force alone can't break them. I tortured at least 1,000 people I've captured back in the days I was alive and working for the Legion Corps. I did all kinds of torture to them to break their will, however, my most favorite kind of torture is pain where they would live with for the rest of their lives. I especially love doing this kind of thing to women."Kyouka explained to Anna as she licked her lips.
"YOU FIEND!" Anna shouted at her."How can you do something so horrible to women? A crime often associated with evil men towards women.?"
"It's fun, simple as that. I had to kill my father back when i was a teenage girl because of his favorite hobby of his, once he found out I was a homosexual, i was to be "corrected" by my all-loving father. Imagine if your father found out you're a homosexual and he "corrected" you, wouldn't you have spite for humanity? I was violated simply because the way i was born so i took that attitude society had against me and threw it back at them. I covered up my father's murder as a suicide, went into clegery, and did what those twisted hypocrites do to small children but unlike them, i never targeted children. One that's beyond an abomination and two why go for seeds when you can have the ripe fruit" Kyouka explained her backstory to Anna while groping her chest
"Don't compare your twisted ideas of morality to all of Zentopia, your father was an awful human being, to rape someone even if they're a twisted homosexual is beyond appalling.
"I'm glad we agree on something for once so tell me something? How much worse does that make your father?"
"DON'T YOU DARE INSULT MY FATHER, HE WOULD NEVER RAPE! You're still a rapist and a murder and that's before you became a demon. I'm glad you burned in hell before becoming this abomination." Anan shouted at her.
"A rapist and murderer your father knew about, who do you think was hired to take out the low lives in the church and across the globe? Your father was so willing to change the church that he ignored my crimes as long as I got rid of the criminals he wanted gone. Much like you, I hunted down the worse offenders, the worst criminals, and all the degenerates. After all much like you
"A twisted homosexual like you, my father would never willing to allow you to be part of his organization.
"You're correct, he would never make it public but he did. When I became an inconvenience to him, he sold us out to the Establishment and had us killed. When he learned that me and Seliah were Homosexuals Your father ordered an angry mob to violate us repeatedly. Me and Selah were defiled repeatedly by those monsters, those monsters you call Zentopian followers, do tell me where in your holy book is it justified to commit an act worse than murder. Oh wait I know, it's the punishment from your all-loving god on people like us. You call us monsters but do you even look in the mirror?" Kyouka asked her as she glared at her.
"God's word is god's word you monster. Don't act like your innocent you raped and tortured countless women, i think it's a fitting punishment you got what's coming to you, not just because your a vile human being in general but because you're a homosexual deviant, rather than just kill your scumbag father, you should've killed yourself to spare your soul into what you became, at least then you might've had a chance at the kingdom of Heaven." Anna ranted against her as she spits at her face, showing her anger and hate towards her."Your kind can never know love, in fact, you proved to me that Homosexuals are dangerous degenerates who threaten the moral fabric of you people do is rape innocent women and recruit them to your degenerate and deviant lifestyle, it's only right you got what came to you. While i oppose the idea of rape as punishment, you couldn't of been a better person it happened to." Anna shouted at her.
"You think your words bother me? And here I thought you would at least see the truth on how ugly, vile, and hypocritical your own religion is, perhaps you need to experience what I did with my father." Kyouka smirked deviously as her sinister intentions became known."Then again, You're hardly any better Ms. Pious, I know deep down inside you you're not much different from me are you Anna?" Kyoua asked her.
"The fuck are you talking about? I don't rape and kill people much less innocent people." Ana shouted at her.
"The moment I touched your region, I felt something wet, you're into women, aren't you?" Kyouka said to her, causing Anna to freeze in horror, remembering the other day.
"NO. I'M NOT HOMOSEXUAL!" Anna shouted at her as she tried to break free but it was futile.
"Struck a nerve with you didn't you?"Kyouka asked her.
"Don't you dare try to lump me with you, i'm not homosexual." Anna shouted in denial.
"Is that so, perhaps I need to test that theory myself then. Pleasure Bolt!" Kyoka chants as she charges up her Whip and hits Anna with the whip.
" Grrrr...It doesn't hurt.."Anna said, shocked that she felt no pain.
"Because i made you feel pleasure instead. If you're truly not homosexual, you would not yield to pleasure but feel pain...If you are, then i win either way. Not like I ever cared if a woman gave into me or not."Kyouka laughed as she whips Anna Again.
"GRAACH!" Anna grunted as her body felt heated"What did you do to my body? Stop it now?" Anna shouted.
"I can control every feeling you're feeling, resistance is futile. Your body is now feeling thousands of times of pleasure that it's normally feeling. I don't even need to touch you at this point, I would break you and bend you to my will." Kyouka laughed as she whipped Anna repeatedly.
"No...She's breaking me... i can't hold out!" Anna said to herself as she struggled to breathe as her lower region dripped down.
"My are you wet, I must say I wasn't expecting you to succumb so quickly to the curse. Most of the straight women I've corrupted were more resilient to this. Then again back in those days, I didn't have Curse powers, the first time I used this power."Kyouka said to Anna as she kept whipping her.
"No. What is this disgusting feeling? Why is this making me feel so good? NO DAMN IT! MUST RESIST!" Anna shouted as she was in tears.
"Damn your curse!"Anna shouted at her"MY DAD WILL KILL YOU WHEN HE FINDS OUT WHAT YOU DID TO ME!"
"More empty words, it's impossible for anyone to find us. We're in a moving Cube Island that masks it's presence to the world and can't be easily tracked even by Dragons. This Island moves across the world and is very fast to boot, your family would be searching for, by the time they find you, it would be too late. I get to take your innocence and you become our sacrifice, then you become a perfect test for Keyes to see if he can perfectly revive humans to fully sentient beings and when you're brought back to life, i will make you the perfect breeding tool for everyone in Tartarus, after all, I'm a fair woman and i love sharing." Kyouka explained her sinister motives for Anna.
"As that would ever happen, your curse might have damaged me temporarily but i will overcome this, i won't become a homosexual mass-murdering demon like you. I won't become a twisted Black Magic experiment nor the breeding tool of your demon army."Anna shouted as she spits at Kyouka's face.
"But you're already one of us, you're a homosexual as my curse proved." Kyouka smirked.
"Yeah you needed your curse, I'm still straight." Anna shouted in denial and defiance.
"I heard you talk about your sexuality to your spirit Virgo and that sweet Bei Tribe woman. You're far from straight. Before I attacked you, I was watching you and Eclair in those hot springs, hmmm hmm such delicious beautiful young busty bodies, having reached physical maturity. Not to mention that spirit of yours Virgo also spilled the beans about you. The curse wouldn't be half as effective if you didn't lust for a woman's body. Guess you're out of the shed about like you held out longer than i thought you would but it seems at the end of the day you're exactly like me however i'm just warming up with you, now that i know you're one of us."Kyouka explained to Anna as she finally broke her spirit with her words, Anna was broken now that she was forced out of the closet.
"I'm a disgrace… how….how can i be a homosexual?" Anna shouted as she started to cry "All my life...I followed everything to a T, I was raised right, I was in a rich and wealthy family, I studied the bible so much I know every passage by heart. I gave countless money to charities, I performed miracles, I've done everything well. my heart is pure yet I'm a homosexual?" Anna shouted.
"It's simple, you were born that way much like me and much like Seliah was, the reality is Anna is that you would live the rest of your life alone if you're lucky enough and if you're unlucky, you would be dragged to the streets and defiled by stupid humans with their primitive vaules still do you care to fight the humans who would look down on you and treat you subhuman regardless of how much good you do for them?"Kyouka explained to Anna how society looked down on them however rather than Anna giving in to humanity.
"Yes...Because that is god's plan. I know I'm a defect but I'll sooner die than to let you monsters rule the world. Even if i'm killed for being a homosexual, if i stop your plans for destroying this world, i will be proud to die a matyar. I can fix being a homosexual. Originally i was to search for the One Magic to give us the way to fight the Dark Dragon Tribe in case Irene wasn't enough, now i will find the One Magic and fix the homosexual disease i'm infected with. As long as I don't yield to you, you can never get those Clock Pieces and eventually, my Father and Irene would destroy you guys. I have faith in myself and will never yield." Anna said to Kyouka, staring at her in defiance, unwilling to break her moral code of justice even with her current state of mind.
"Oh well i tried a nice way, you are a very stubborn woman, and here i thought we finally were opening up, hoping you see how rotten humanity is and how rotten the Zentopian church is and you would give up the goods, now i just have to take them including your body."Kyouka replied "Hope you're ready to become a matyar because by the time your father comes here, you would be in my arms and i wonder which of us he's going to kill first."Lyouka laughed at her as she shoots a large blast of her curse Lightning at her.
"AAAAAAAHAHAAAAAA!" Anna shouted as she was hit with so much pain, Anna fell to the ground drooling from the pain Face down, ass up, Kyouka got aroused and removed her clothing showing her naked body to her, Kyouka grabbed her head.
"Fufufu!I tried to avoid doing this, part of me still sees you as the nice little girl who i helped raised to be a fine Sister however part of me want to ravish your fine body and the other part wants revenge against your bastard father, Now then shall we commence with the fun." Kyouka laughed as she lowered Anna's head closer to her own nether region, Anna powerless to do anything prepared for the worse as she was an inch closer to Kyouka's nether regions with her mouth near her nether region.
"That's enough playing around Kyouka, we got a business to take care of." Seliah said to Kyoka.
"Come on i was so close to getting her to lick my pussy Admit it, sweetie, you want her too." Kyouka replied with a playful smile.
"I won't lie, she is very beautiful but we have a mission to do Kyoka, playing with our prey isn't going to help us get the clock pieces."Seliah stated calmly.
"You're no fun, I always like to push things to the edge." Kyouka replies as she kisses Seilah.
"And that's precisely your problem Kyouka, you've always been so reckless, hence how we got caught." Selah responded.
"You have a point," Kyouka replied, sighing.
"Come and meet me at the bedside, i need some company.." Seilah goes to kiss her. only for Mard Geer to appear behind them.
"Quit playing around and get the intel from Heartfilia, time is not on our side, we can only hope Serenity's slows down Dragonv enough. We need to get the clock pieces before they retaliate hard."Mard Geer said to the two condescending them for not taking their job seriously.
"Can we at least have a break, we've been torturing this woman for 6 hours and she refuses to yield any results." Kyouka asked her boss.
"Very well, don't take more than 30 minutes, this time Seliah, you would be in charge of extracting the intel from her. I don't need Kyouka wasting any more time on unnecessary methods." Mard Geer said to the two of them.
"Very well then, we won't take very long!" Seliah replied calmly.
Meanwhile at Dragonv/ Serenity border
In the snow-covered Pregrande Forest during a blizzard, a massive army assembles within that region. 2,500 dragons and 40,000 troops from Serenity arrive at the border to be met with 5,000 dragons from Dragnov and 50,000 troops from Dragonv. General Franir is noted of Dragnov intercepting his forces at the border.
"We got thousands of dragons at the border."The dragon said to Franir.
"Perfect, time to show them why I'm still the undefeated dragon"Franir smirked as he leapt in the air and landed in the middle of the battlefield.
Hundreds of dragons rush toward General Dragon King in all directions.
"Golden Dragon Sworn Horn!" Franir changed as he dashed through 20 dragons at high speed, splitting them in half with a powerful and indestructible golden body, to dash through and rip 20 of them in half with his golden body. One dragon came at him with a large sword to be used by Dragons against dragons but It bounced off his golden body before kicking the dragon into a hill"Pathetic!"
"Earth Dragon Fist!"The Earth Dragon chanted as he punched Frainir dead on into the soft underbelly of his body but his hand bled punching him"What" which was the Earth Dragon's last words before he was cleanly decapitated by a swipe of the claw from Frainr.
"Pathetic, this is the best Dragonv got? They're nothing without their Dragon Protection Squad." Franir bragged as he flew around the battlefield.
He then moved at insane speeds appearing to be a blur to the dragons, He takes out 50 dragons with claw swipes while moving so fast. One dragon takes out a Blunderbuss and fires it at Franir powering the massive cannon like a gun with magic however the Golden Dragon catches the cannonball.
"Not bad, one of the new inventions from the First Dragon War, powering projectiles with magic, shame it's weak and useless" Franir laughed as he threw the cannonball through 10 Dragons, with each of them being blasted through the torso.
Franir charges through battle, moving so fast the other dragons didn't see him coming, he's however blown back by several dozen sky dragons using Sky Dragon Roar
"Now that's more like it, time to get serious! Golden Dragon Roar!" Franir chants as he blasts a massive roar of Golden flames at the advancing enemy.
"Sky Dragon Roar!"20 Sky Dragons chanted as they fired their Sky Dragon Roars.
"Water Dragon Roar" 20 Water Dragons chanted as they fired their Water Dragon Roars to try to stop the Dragon however they blast are overpowered by Franirs and all of them are killed in the explosion.
"How boring, even with my holding back these Dragons are weak." Franir said to himself as he saw Dragons retreating.
Meanwhile, Rung is standing there with humans charging towards them against his forces but the man stands there arrogantly smirking . He rides on his horse taking out soldiers with his slashes.
"Time for me to see what my training has done in the last decade. I failed to kill a C Class dragon back then and was disgraced, this time i plan to take a dragon's head." Rung said to himself as he was wiping out the retreating humans.
"Dragons are attacking us?"one of the Dragonvian Soldiers asked.
"No it's one person!" another Dragonvian Soldier answered.
"Impossible the only human who can decimate a whole army is the Queen of Dragons herself." One of the soldiers stated only to be cut down, decapitated cleanly by Rung.
"Foolish humans, you're dealing with who would one day defeat A-Class dragon. Those who stand in my way get crushed."Rung laughed as he slashes down another soldier.
Rung dashes towards the humans with his sword, taking out several with his sword. He then uses telekinesis to pick up 20 weapons of the enemy and swing them around performing a slashing wave which takes out 30 more enemies.
Several Monster tamers send 10 giant tigers to attack Rung but he picks up a large Kanabo and swings so fast with it, he cuts the monsters in half cleanly, showing great skill with it.
"Pathetic, not a single one of you humans are a match for me." Rung laughed as he then sees a Large Ogre appear.
Rung then sees a giant ogre summoned by a monster tamer to attack him but he grabs a soldier and uses him as a shield to take the punch. The soldier in question explodes into a pile of blood, guts, and bones from the impact of the punch with his body parts scattering across the battlefield.
"NO KARLV!" One of the monster tamers shouted as he accidentally killed him then uses a leaping slash to take the ogre out, splitting him in Monster tamer is then cut in half before he can react by Rung.
"So that's the Mad Nullifier Rung in action?" One of the Serenity soldiers said to another.
"He's the strongest mage in the Serenity Kingdom." One of the Serenity soldiers said to another.
"Just glad that madman is on our side and not on Dragnov" the other soldier replied.
Rung sees wounded soldiers on the battlefield and starts stabbing them through the heads or through the necks to finish them showing not an ounce of mercy. He's then blasted back by a powerful sound blast from a general.
The commander was a slim man of average height with dark tan skin and spiky, upward-styled maroon hair; aside from a tuft covering his forehead and two bangs framing his face and purple slit-pupil eyes.
"You came far enough into our border!" said a general with a deep voice.
"Legate Anders Miguel!" said one of the Dragonviain forces.
"We're saved from this madman." A Dragonvian soldier replied.
"Out of my way, human, I want the blood of Dragons." Rung said to the man.
"Fool all you find is death, your death. My division is the Dragonv assassination unit, out of everyone here, I've actually killed dragons, even for a Legate killing a mere C Class dragon is hard work, what thinks you can hope to go past that? I've been in this division for 20 years and general of this division for the last 3 years, you think you can take a Dragon? Don't make me laugh, you can't kill a Dragon in a direct fight unless you're superhuman like the Pope or the Queen of Dragons." Miguel explained to Rung the problem of fighting dragons.
"Because I was chosen by God to wipe out Dragonv. As for the Pope, fuck him, he and his corrupt Crocusan perversion of Zentopia is no match for True Zentopia." Rung replied as he was defiant against all odds to beat a dragon.
"Let's see how well your God protects you from me." Miguel replied as he went to attack him. "Sound Palm '' Miguel chanted as he fired a powerful blast of air pressure enhanced by sound at the Serenity Zentopian.
"Dispel!" Rung countered as he negated the blast with his right eye defusing the magic.
"So you're the infamous Mad Nuffiler we heard about? No wonder you're confident in your abilities. Guess Magic would do me no good against you."He said to him as he took out a poison hook dripping with poison.
"Dragonv must be slipping when they let a subhuman not part of their already pathetic weak race in their ranks. Miguel isn't a name i heard about within these parts." Rung asked him with his racist statements as he raised to parry the hook wielding assassin.
"Charming individuals huh? Are you mad that this country has beaten you with these so-called "Sub Humans? I hail from the kingdom of Midi if you must know, parent's fled there in the last Dragon War, father was a general of that country, I became part of the army and now part of Dragonv." Miguel explained to him as they both clashed blades with each other, parrying strikes with each other.
Both clash evenly with each other, dueling with duels of blades, while Rung was faster and more agile, Anders was stronger and more resilient as they clashed blades with each other.
"Blade Hurricane!" Rung chanted as he lifted all the swords in the battlefield around them and threw them at Miguel but the Assassin used his agility and skill to parry each of the hundreds of blades, melting them to dust thanks to his strong poisons.
"Sound Wall" Miguel counters as he shoots a massive blast of sound creating a shockwave catching Rung off-guard, damaging his ears, and pushing him back.
"Damn such power."Rung said to the commander.
"You dropped your guard out of arrogance again Rung, now let's see how much your Dispel magic works on this. Monster Tamer Magic: Great Peachian Dragon Serpent" Miguel chanted as he summoned a massive snake the size of a Dragon that had violet scales and a light-colored underside. Her eyes are green with black pupils.
"A Peachian Snake?" Rung asked, shocked that he tamed it.
"From the Jungles of the Peach Oblast of Dragonv lies the deadliest snake in the world, the King Peachian Snake known as Orou Boros. This snake has the power to kill even a B Class Dragon with its deadly venom gas and can pierce through C class Dragons scales with its fangs. You lucked out fighting me Serenity scum." Miguel explained to him as the Forty-meter long snake was ready to strike.
Miguel has a giant snake go to attack Rung attempting to bite him but he dodges the strike.
"I guess i have to use this!" Rung said to him as he charged up power in his right hand. He creates a large arrow with a purple-colored glowing light"Nullification Magic: Divine Arrow" Rung chanted as he throws the arrow, hitting the dragon snake on the head, incapacitating the snake."Ha, i beat a snake that can kill dragons, meaning i can finally slay a dragon." Rung cheerfully said to them.
"Oru Boros!" Miguel shouted as he went to attack Rung only to see him behind Miguel.
"Looks like you're out of magic, too bad !" Rung said to him as he was about to slash him down only to have his sword stopped by a Dragon claw which pushes him back.
The dragon stands over him, he was a large muscular dragon who had bull horns and an orange mane for hair.
"That's enough human, go back to the border, you're done here." the dragon said to Rung as he stood over him.
"A dragon I can hunt and kill!" Rung replied, refusing to back down.
"Foolish human, I'm an A-Class Lieutenant General Dragon.I'm Amber, cousin of the Dragon Protection Squad leader Igneel. If you struggled to fight against one of our Legates, you have no prayer of winning so I'm offering you a chance to retreat." the dragon said to him.
"How about I kill you and prove that I can slay dragons?" Rung replied stubbornly ignoring the dragon. Rung leaps at the dragon and tries to hit him however Amber doesn't move as rung swings his sword as it bounces off the dragons scales Rung's hands bleed from the effort"What?" Rung shouted and shocked his attack failed.
"Foolish human, to even match a Dragon, you need to be at least 10 times stronger than the dragons base power, otherwise you have no chance of bypassing our scales." Amber said to him as he uses a finger flick to knock the general through a boulder."Give up, we're here to beat you, not kill you. Just surrender to us." Amber said to him only for Rung to defy common sense and get back up.
"If i can't kill you, i can never kill the bastard who killed my mother." Rung replied as he summons all the blades from the battlefield an aim them at the dragon
"Blades, think that can hurt me human?" Amber asked him only to notice they were glowing with purple magic.
"Not just any blades, all enhanced by my Nullification Magic, even dragons fear this ancient spell. Nullification Magic: Holy Hurricane Blade"Rung changed as he hit the dragon with the blades however the dragon wasn't even scratched.
"Told you, it's useless!" Amber said to him "Don't take this personally human! Fire Dragon Roar" Amber chanted as he shot a stream of flames in his mouth however the attack was negated by Rung's Dispel."WHAT?"Amber asked, shocked his attack was negated.
"I can negate even Dragons. Magic, now then, time for me to defeat you." Rung explained to him as he sword flew with Nullification Magic and he goes to leap in the air and spins his sword around rotating like a buzzsaw of light ready to slash down his opponent"Nullification Magic: Holy Reckoning." Rung chanted as he swings his sword down, slashing at the underbelly of the dragon"Told you I was going to slay a Dragon today."Rung bragged only to see the dragon stand with only a small scratch on his scales.
"Not bad, however, not good enough. Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flames" Amber chanted as he was going to blast the general with a massive fireball but Franir protects him with his body, taking the blast with Zero damage"Shit, Franir, gotta go." Amber dashes away from Franir at the border.
"Stupid human, know your place, a mere mortal like you can't ever hope to beat a dragon. You humans would always be beneath us, forget about avenging your mother ever, she died because she was a defiant fool who went against the Dragon Council." Franir laughed at Rung as Rung glared at him.
"You're wrong you vile beast one day i will surpass all dragons and even the Queen of Dragons herself. I will also kill you for killing my mother and if my father gets in my way, I'll kill him too." Rung ranted as he was trying to avoid crying.
"You fool, you would be lucky to ever hurt that old man, he's almost as powerful as Victor Heartfilla is and he wouldn't last 5 seconds to me, what thinks a pitiful worm like you could ever come close to killing me." Franir laughed at Rung as the soldiers in his battalion laughed at him too.
"You're all pathetic, letting yourself be ruled by dragons, if a fucking woman can fucking beat you, i can beat you too. How can you as men be proud you're servants to these vile beasts, beasts who don't care for god or country, beasts who sell us out to god and country, Beasts like Frainir who makes deals with the Dark Dragon Tribe just to make sure he stays in power, the Same Dark Dragon Tribe who wants us dead." Rung ranted against his men.
"That's enough Rung, you lowly maggot. You don't seem to get it, the queen holds a holy sword, you don't, you're just another human who can never get any stronger than you are, you reached your peak as General of this army now quit embarrassing yourself." Franir mocked the dragon.
"I don't care, You fools laugh at me all you want, I will be laughing when the time comes."Rung ranted as he was handcuffed and brought into a carriage where he's carried away to his cell.
"That little shit is a nuisance to me, in all fairness I can give no shits about these people. I'm trying to preserve the power I held for 1,000 years. Not like this pathetic ant is a threat though, still, i can't have his talk encourage more humans to try to uprise against them. Fools are conditioned to see me as a god."Frainir said to himself as he worried about the day of reckoning.
Scared Desert, Zen
Irene and Victor were riding camels during the journey wearing white robes and a turban over their clothing to protect them against the intense desert heat.
"So you know each of those demons?" Irene asked him.
"Aside from the tree one, yes, all of them are ghosts of my past in the most literal sense." Victor answered.
"Considering we have the Dark Dragon Tribe to worry about along with the rival nations, we can't afford to fall here, hence we must give it our all." Irene stated.
"That's the spirit we need, you're really someone of a pure and noble heart Irene, your mother would be proud of you...That's more than I can say for my mother." Victor replied.
"What do you mean? You're the nicest, most pious soul I've ever met, you're the Pope of Zentopia beloved by all." Irene stated.
"I've been forced to look the other way on the corruption within Zentopia for the sake of maintaining the peace of the kingdom, countless scandals, countless corruption scandals and other things I tried to rail against, unlike you, I've been forced on more than one occasion to overlook bad behavior in my church. My mother was a rebel against the system who pushed for change and never compromised even once on her beliefs to her very end." Victor Explained to Irene.
"No society is without flaws, Victor, even Dragonv has some shady dirty shit, Belserion himself had to overlook some things, that's life. As much as we hope this world would be pure and holy, there's always going to be shadows where there's light." Irene stated trying to calm down the Pope.
"I still feel ashamed of myself for the fact I've not lived up to. Lemme tell you about just how legendary the name Sera Heartfilia is and why she was the one behind all the reforms I pushed for as well as how i rose to the top of Zentopia and the Dark Side of Zentopia." Victor replied as he explained the story of his life.
To Be Continued
(A/N: Had to end the chapter on a somewhat lighter note, didn't want to end the chapter on Anna's near-rape now would i? Yep, the timeline is starting to converge ever closer to the inevitable war and tragedy caused by the war. With the torture of Anna Heartfilla and the appearance of Rung Von Serena you can tell that we're starting to go ever closer to the inevitable tragic fall of a hero
Yep, what you saw there is Rung Von Serena aka the asshole prick who Irene marries within canon who would betray her, overthrow her within a coup d'etat and then subject her to torture, hulimiaiton for the next 3 years after the war ends and is the biological father of Erza .so yeah he's inevitably going to be involved in this storyline and yeah he's going to do what he did in canon, pretend to be Irene's friend, pretend to love her, wait for the right opportunity to overthrow her kingdom and the rest is pretty much history.
In this chapter and in this arc, he's mostly playing a much more minor role behind the scenes being more of a Lore character than fleshed out like he's going to be in the next arc but as you can tell, i'm trying to create some complexity and dimension to an otherwise one-dimensional asshole. The reason he's an overly pious, zealous racist, Mysongsitic prick is that he lost his mother at a young age to a Dragon Sacrifice thanks to his good for nothing father who's an incompetent, cruel king who rules over the Serenity Kingdom so he resents dragons for personal reasons regarding his mother's death hence his reluctance to help his father out in wars and the reason he spends time in jails is due to the fights he picks with dragons.
He's also massively religious as seen with his statements on Serenity Zentopia and his criticism of Crocusan Zentopians and the Askerhman i and is obsessed with destroying dragons and Dragonv in the name of Zentopia. He believes that it's possible to create a weapon comparable to the simple because a woman could do it and due to his sexist beliefs disappointed that no man can do it. Does he succeed in making this weapon you ask? Well ask yourself this, how is it that this man can fight an entire Dragon War in canon where he wasn't a Dragon Slayer, to begin with, long before he even met Irene and can keep pace with Irene of all people Post Dragon Slayer powers who as we've seen in canon can take on Human Ancologia who can stomp God Serena out? Also, he's the Biological Father of Erza Fucking Scarlet, someone who stomped a world-ending meteor with broken bones so you bet your ass her father had to be pretty damn strong.
As i showed here, he's a very powerful human but comes nowhere close to beating a Dragon, at least for now. He gets much stronger obviously but going by these actions here, he's more or less between Erza's power from the Grand Magic Games Arc and Erza's power during the Tartarus Arc. Special thanks to Warmachine375 for giving me the idea to give Rung Nullification Magic which strongly fits the whole narrative that he wants to one day slay a dragon. He also knows to dispel magic thanks to him losing his eye as a kid and having it recreated via Black Magic. Yep he's paralleling the skills and abilities of Erza when it comes to sword combat, much like Erenjack kinda does with Requip but if Erenjack represents the brute force and defensive prowess of Erza, Rung represents the agility and fitness and swordsmanship skill of Erza, while she takes more after her mother than her father, her father is no less influenced into her.
Speaking of God Serena, the Von Serena family is essentially the family tree where he comes from. The name I'm giving him for this fanfiction is Eric Von Serena, the direct descendant of Rung Von Serena, meaning that Erza and God Serena are distant cousins in this storyline but more on that much later down the line. Expect a lot of creative freedom on my part when it comes to the Serena family tree. One spoiler I am willing to tell though Irene trains God Serena to be well God Serena, I think that would be the best explanation for the sudden defection of him from Fiore in canon.
Anders Miguel is an OC I created for this event and this would be far from the last time you see him. He's Cobra's ancestor within this storyline, down to the appearance, and will eventually become the Student taught by Venomisky Poison Dragon Slayer Magic and becomes one of the Original 7 Dragon Slayers. He's stronger than First Timeskip Cobra during the Grand Magic Games Arc but weaker than Tartarus Arc Cobra. As Legate or Grand General, he's one of the strongest humans in the Dragonv Army who specializes in Sound Magic which can bypass external defenses and damage Internal organs, ablet much harder to do on dragons who are bigger, stronger and more resilient to pain than humans. Needless to say, he put up a decent fight within this bout and would be a bit more fleshed out in the future arc, i just wanted a strong opponent for Rung to fight to be a method of test of his might. Unlike most characters, I aged him to be in his 40's so he would be the oldest of the 7 Original Dragon Slayers, 8 original if you include Irene herself.
As for Ooro Boros, the Great Peahcian Snake is based heavily on the Prehistoric Snake the Titanoboa but imagine that snake to be closer to the snakes Orochimaru summons in Naruto, yeah that big. At 40 meters, it's bigger than most dragons in the canon series and can kill dragons being one of the natural predators of lower-tier dragons yet also a delicate cuisine for higher tier dragons The snake Kinata is turned to is the same species of snake as the Peachian Snakes.
As for Anna, yeah kinda painful to write that whole scene but this is precisely the kind of tension that is needed in the Tartarus Arc. I know a lot of people didn't like the Kyouka torture scenes with Erza in the Tartarus Arc but in fairness, it was one of the few times in that arc the characters felt in any kind of danger, at least when I write this is not merely just a disturbing excuse for fanservice, it's to have a character moment with Anna, Kyouka and Seilah as well as be a crucial plot device for the hunt for the Infinity Clock Pieces. Don't worry Anna isn't the female protagonists that are getting raped in this story, sadly that honor is on the MC herself, yeah no spoilers here but yeah we're going to get to that when we get to that. Jesus where's Doomguy when you need him?
Needless to say, Anna is going to be all kinds of psychologically fucked up after this arc and no a handwave comment from her love interests aren't going to fix it like what happened to Erza in canon, this is going to carry over to Anna's characterization and she's going to spend a few chapters severely traumatized by the events of the arc. As for her sexual orientation, the terms she has to come with that would be handled carefully, working with people to make sure we do that one right.
As for Kyouka, yeah I made her a tragic villain for the narrative's sake. Sounds familiar, a loyal follower of the Zentopian ideology becomes corrupted, betrayed by her comrades, and becomes a monster. Much like Irene would be, later on, she went from a good person to a bad person, unlike Irene however Kyouka's descend to the dark side happened much quicker as she killed her rapist father and since joining the Zentopian Legion Corp with Seliah did countless atrocities in the name of Zentopia, enough to get her to put on the Nuremberg trial if that existed back course it's not the serious crimes like murder and torture that get her killed as a human, it's the crime of being Homosexual that got her capped.
And before you ask why is this an occurring theme? Because the anime arc of Starry Sky made Zentopia seem very corrupt and i'm merely expanding the lore of the series so i'm merely expanding from here, keep in mind the Zentopian Leigon Corp in the canon had missions ranging from kidnapping to even outright murder and they had Guttman Kubrick, a sadist on par with some of the evilest villains in the seires as their employees so Zentopia is hardly clean in any sense.
And before you wonder, no Victor Heartfilla didn't order the two to be raped, this was a call beyond even his control, now how things went to shit with them, you need to read the next chapter. As you can guess I based this on the punishments that occurred within Medieval Europe, hell parts of Africa are still doing crimes like this to this day. "Corrective Rape" is a very common form of homophobic attacks against women who are homosexual under the twisted belief that they can make straight.
The point of this is to show how things were very different back in the era compared to today. No Victor Heartfilla isn't the secret final boss of the arc either, just a good man following bad ideas. As i said before this isn't trying to overly political or take a stance on anything, Irene the more "progressive" minded character compares Homosexuality to dung farming and belives in conversion therapy which nowadays would be associated with the Religious right but would be seen as forward-thinking and liberal back in that time period. I'm trying to handle this as maturely and non-partisan as possible so no flame wars on this topic.
Anyways here are the MPF levels for the characters now.
General Rung:18,000 MPF base, 24,666 MPF using Eraser Magic
Legate Anders Miguel:20,000 MFP, 24,000 MPF using King Pecahian Snake known as Orou Boros.
Lieutenant General Amber:32,500 MPF
Fafnir:80,960 MPF base, 116,160 MPF full power, 118,800 MPF Golden King Mode, Magic resistance too high for humans to hurt
