AC: Hello everyone. I hope you will enjoy this chapter that prepare the next advance of the plot. I also made a character who never speak in the two previous seasons talk for once.

The next day came and the moment Drum woke up, he was on high alert. He knew what would come soon and had to be ready. The dragon was the first to be awake and gazed at his buddy. He decided to let him rest and walked outside of the chamber. He looked down as he climbed down the stairs. The words that were said yesterday still echoed in his mind.

Grand-pa Tenbu, his thought for him couldn't go farther than this. He knew he had to apologies for the tantrum he pulled yesterday, I still don't understand what is going on but… I'll have to trust you. You are not an evil dragon and I'm certain of it. I… I have to keep believing in you, he remembered the little words of encouragement Halberd gave him.

He walked in the dojo. He began flexing his body and working himself out. He had to be ready as Yamigedo could strike at any time.

"You're up early Drum," the other red dragon said as he joined him. The two continued did their warm-up routine, "I also have to stand ready for anything that might happen."

"Yeah. Yamigedo is back and might destroy the world if we aren't ready," Drum commented.

"Did you talk to Tenbu?" the older red dragon asked.

"Well… No. I didn't see him after he talked with Gao's parents and I just woke up. It's- Well, not easy to say I'm sorry."

"The longer you wait, the harder it will be. With Yamigedo around, he is constantly in danger Drum," he poked the snout of the younger dragon, "You have to apology before the Great Fiend comes."

"I- I know. It's just-" Drum sighed, "I'll apology when I see him."

"I think we are done with the warm-ups," Halberd declared, "It's too early to train, so let's just practice a few of our moves."

Drum nodded and they began practicing together.

Episode 10: Prelude Of Vengeance

It was a rainy day when fate began to tick.

A boy was running as fast as he could. Tears were falling form his face as he lost all his calm. He ran and ran, panting loudly as each step were made. He felt as if his own body would collapse by the exhaustion. Mom… Dad… Everyone! He cried as he looked back, why? Why? WHY? The human failed to comprehend what happened in his village.

His mind was confused. He ran away without thinking, his body guiding him to a place he believed he might be safe. Also, of someone who was in danger too.

Eventually, the boy stopped when his eyes gazed on his current location. He looked at a very simplistic shrine. It only had a black roof over a semi sphere stone covered with pieces of paper with charms written on it and chains. One scroll that seemed more important than the others with marks on it. The marks were claws of something that tried to break but failed. It didn't have more marks that the first time he went there.

"Hum? Bolt?" the manifestation of Yamigedo came out of his weakened seal that imprisoned him. He frowned as he looked at the face of the teenage boy. With the rain, he couldn't see that well but something was wrong.

Bolt ran towards the Great Fiend and kneeled down near the shrine.

"Bolt. What is it? Why are you crying? Why are you scared?" the manifestation asked as he surrounded the boy.

The boy grabbed the approaching hand and kept crying. He sobbed as he said incomprehensible words.

"Calm down. Take a few deep breathe and tell me what is going on my friend."

The human sobbed and did as asked. He kept breathing until he managed to calm down just enough to speak clearly, "Mom… Dad… Everyone is- Everyone is-"

Yamigedo didn't understood what happened to everyone but if the boy was that sad and scare, it wasn't good, "Tell me what happen."

The boy was still confused and said, "Mom and dad and everyone is… they are dead!" he sobbed loudly and barely managed to say and repeat, "And- and-"

The Great Fiend knew it was not a natural disaster, he would have felt and saw it, "And what?"

The boy put his hand on the seal.

He began to see the bigger picture if the boy was ready to do that, "H-hold on! What is going on?"

Bolt stopped and looked at his friend. He searched for the answer or accept it. He sobbed once again and yelled, "They want to kill you too!"

Suspicion raised in his mind. He only had two possibility in mind. He hoped it was the former rather than the later, "Who?"

The boy took a deep breath as he answered the question, "Omni Lords."

They came to finish me too, "Ran away Bolt. If they find you here, you will die. Just run!"

The boy shook his head stubbornly, "I won't leave you behind. They will kill you! You're the only one I have left!"

"Do not release me! You know that I am too weak to live on my own! It's better if they-" he was cut.

"We will run away together!"

"W- N-no! Your body won't be able to handle my power! I'm going to hurt you! Leave me!" he ordered.

The Great Fiend kept repeating to just leave him behind as the boy grabbed the seal.

Bolt began to pull it. He looked at the manifestation with more tears falling from his eyes.

"BOLT!" Yamigedo yelled in desperation.

Ikazuchi woke up from his dream and looked around. The boy was confused when he recognised the cavern, he was currently living in. He moved his hands and felt something fluffy under his touch. He noticed the gray fur covering him and some he grabbed on. Something was lightly pushing on his back for a second, before it stopped. It continued that pattern at a regular rhythm.

Memories was a little hazing; how did I get up here? What is that thing? "Yamigedo?"

"Hum?" a confused grumbling resonated. It didn't go farther than that.

The human looked around, accidentally burying his face in more fur. The boy stopped moving. He thought deeply and felt like the voice of his friend was different from before. He almost didn't recognise it. It felt as if someone was really talking, "But-" his mind finally clicked and remembered what happened. Ikazuchi smiled as he tried to stand up, "We really did it," he whispered. He pressed his hand on the moving thing behind him. Standing up took some effort but much less than when they went to get Asmodai. He took a few steps away from the fluffy fur before turning around.

Even if the Great Fiend was back to flesh, the human could easily recognise the face of his friend, despite his three pair of orange eyes darkened.

He is sleeping, the boy thought. He walked away and grabbed one cane of food and began eating. He didn't eat for a while and his appetite was coming back. He was about to grab a second one but realised he was good. His appetite returned to normal.

"You're up my friend," the relief voice of Yamigedo resonated in the cavern.

Ikazuchi turned around and nodded, "And I'm already feeling better."

A large smile appeared on the face of the monster with his eyes shined once again, "Good. I'm not hurting you anymore, so you'll get better in no time Ikazuchi," his large face approached the boy. He winced when the human touched his snout.

"Did you kill Tenbu?" the boy asked.

The friend grumbled as his eyes darkened once again for a few seconds before returning to normal, "No. I could have hurt you, so we retreat."

"Then we have to go eliminate him right n-" he was interrupted when his forehead was gently pocked by the large claw of his friend.

"Terrible idea my friend. You are still tired and need to rest for a few more days."

"I'm already better. We should-" he winced and grumbled, "Ouch."

"Don't make me poke your forehead another time. You almost died because I was in your body. So, rest as long as you need. There is no need to make haste. Asmodai is gone and they missed many Omni Lords to, at least, seal me again. I don't want to be worried for you," it was a plea once again.

The boy didn't complain or protest. He almost died and it would just hurt him more, "Fine. I ate already."

The big monster lay down on his belly again and waited for the boy to come. He noticed his hesitation and said, "Come. Today's is a little colder than usual. I'll keep you warm."

"Fine," he rested once again on the neck of the Great Fiend and made sure that the fluffy fur would keep him warm.

"I also need to sleep. I'm not completely used to my body yet. Somehow…" he said nothing else. He was suspicious that there was something going on but now wasn't the time for that.

"Yamigedo. I had a nightmare," he whispered.

"What was it?"

"The day I free you. I vaguely remember going to you and freeing you," the boy whispered.

"Do you remember which Omni Lord did this?"

"No."

"It doesn't matter. We will get all of them anyway," the big fiend replied as he heard the boy yawning.

"Later… I want to know what happened before you return here," Ikazuchi whispered before falling asleep.

Yamigedo face paled at that question. He knew what happened and the shame he felt. He gazed at his body and was still naked, I don't have to care about what he said! I can make them appear when I want and right now, it's not the time! I am not an exhibitionist.

Gao was sitting on the roof and was eating his lunch. He ate with his friends and all were quiet. Tasuku was with them. Everyone was in deep thought. They knew what would soon come and they were a little nervous.

Tetsuya and Zanya were elsewhere with their buddies

Kuguru asked, "Gao. Do you think you can deal with Yamigedo?"

The Sun Fighter was pensive and replied, "If we managed to defeat Azi Dahaka, I think we have our chances."

Tasuku asked, "Can you use the Future Force at will? Because that's how you beat him before."

The boy nodded negatively and sighed, "I am trying to use it again but I cannot awake it. I don't know how I did it and I don't know how you are doing it."

The blue haired boy sighed and admitted, "I just can do it. I called it Future Force before I always feel like I'm asking something from the future. I can't explain it. It's just that weird."

Baku added, "And Yamigedo didn't summon all of his demons. He has a hundred and you have trouble defeating them in a one on one fight."

"And their Death Shido's can be close to us without realising it. They managed to use demons to possess us," the girl added.

Tasuku nodded, "I don't think we are ready to face him. We can't expect another miracle. Gao, I'll be the one who fight Yamigedo. I can use the Future Force and an impact card to defeat him."

The Mighty Sun Fighter wanted to say something else but he couldn't use his power at its best. He had to conceit, "You're right. You are the only one who has a chance to defeat him. Jackknife is also more powerful now."

"But you were the one who managed to defeat a demon this time. Jack is still in the hospital."

"And you arm?" Kuguru asked.

"It's all good. The wound wasn't as bad as we thought. I have no problem to use it or I wouldn't be at school," he smiled at them.

They finished eating as the bell rang. Lunch time was over. The four stood up and returned to their class.

"There is one thing I know," Gao suddenly said as he got their attention. He let out a large smile, "No matter what Yamigedo would do, we will defeat him. I won't give up."

"Me neither," his friend Tasuku smiled back.

Baku and Kuguru nodded and said, "Count on us!"

Their moral was back as they returned to finish their school day.

Drum was waiting for Tenbu to come on the roof. He asked Halberd to ask the old dragon to meet him there. He lacked the courage to give an apology directly to him, so he thought that forcing himself in the situation was better.

The heartbeat of the dragon was quickly increasing, what if I say the wrong thing? What if I say too much?

"You called me here Drum?" the old dragon asked when his face appeared near his own.

"Gyah!" the younger dragon gasped loudly, before blushing as he realised what he did. He scratched the back of his head and nervously chuckled, "Y-yeah."

"Do you have more question to ask me? Because I told you everything, I'm ready to tell you," the green dragon warned the young one in advance as he grabbed his mustaches.

Great. He is still pissed off about that, "I had to know everything. Yamigedo is back and-"

Tenbu played with the yellow hair of the other dragon, "And you wanted to protect everyone. Don't worry. I understand. I just have good reasons to keep a few things in me. I don't think you'll understand it if I explain it," he sat by the side of the other dragon and observed the clear sky.

I cannot tell him I overhear everything. He wasn't as much as I thought, "Grand-pa Tenbu I… Well-" he took a deep breath and looked at his Grand-pa figure, "I- I have to say. Well-" he looked down and sighed.

"Go on," the green tail gently tapped the orange and red tail of the red dragon.

"Iiii Thought back at my outburst at you," he grumbled at the bad memory. Even with the context, he still felt betrayed. Yet, guilt was the dominant emotion, "I was really angry and… scared when Yamigedo came back. He was so big and we failed to prevent it," he took another deep breath, "And then I thought about what you hid from us, Gao's family and me. It makes me angry. I had to know, so I yelled at you. I was infuriated. It was unfair for you. So- So… I'm sorry for what I said. I was too harsh," he closed his eyes, not baring to look in the eyes of Tenbu.

The other dragon pat the head of the poor dragon, "Calm down Drum. I'm not angry at you. I understand why you were angry. I did and still hid things from you and everyone else. You have the right to be angry for what I did. Because I hurt you," he crossed his arms, "I have my reasons to hide a few things. For all of that, I forgive you," Tenbu then hugged Drum.

"H-hey! I don't like hugs," the red dragon gasped, a little pissed off. He was also relieved that he wasn't angry at him.

"Just don't break the moment," the green dragon grumbled.

Drum let out a long sighed and did the same, "Just this time. Don't tell Axia."

"I won't. Drum. No matter what happens, I will always watch and protect you. Even if I hid things for you, I care for you as if you were my grand-son. Really," he released the young dragon from his embrace, "I will always protect my family and those I consider my family," he poked the snout of the XIV, "We are family."

"Y-yeah."

"Let's go back inside. You need to train and I can teach you a few things."

The two talked a little more for a while before they did as suggest and returned inside.

Akatsuki and his friend Ziun were alone home. They learned what happened yesterday and the return of Yamigedo.

Ziun also learned one thing from Zanya, just before he left them alone. The monster was sitting on a chair and was in deep thought.

The boy came and sat by his side, "Are you okay Ziun?"

"Y-yeah. I know now that I'm an Omni Lord but that's all. What can I do? What is my mission as one?" he put his hands on his head and grumbled.

The boy was a little sad that his friend was feeling bad. He put his hand on his shoulder, "You still don't remember everything. We will help you remember everything. Once you will remember, you will be able to do your mission," he thought for a few seconds. As his friend didn't reply, he continued, "You are a good per- monster! I know you will do the right thing. You wanted to protect everyone even without your memories."

The Omni Lord gazed at the boy for a few minutes. He looked down before looking back at the human, "Yeah. I really want to remember everything. Yamigedo is back and Zanya said in a way that he might hurt everyone in this world."

"I'm sure big bro and his friends will stop him. They defeated Azi Dahaka before!" Akatsuki was confident in his words and smiled, "He might be back but maybe not as powerful as we believe. Also, Tasuku can use the Future Force and they will be victorious."

The monster climbed down the chair and took a few steps away. He lightly smiled and turned back at the boy, "I believe you. I know very little of this but I know you aren't lying," he chuckled. He was then more serious, "Honestly, I feel like I should have done more. If my memories were there, I could have done something to prevent everything. I would know what to do. However, your big brother and his friends are strong. They can beat Yamigedo," he thought about it and asked, "Does any of them have a picture of Yamigedo? Maybe I can remember something if I see him."

The boy gasped and hugged the monster, "You're right! Let's call Commander I! Maybe someone has it!"

The two were on the phone as they called Commander I. They hoped that they would get an answer. They had to wait for a few minutes and the man couldn't reply.

"-Mushi Mushi. This is Stella,-" the woman said.

"Stella!" the boy was a little sad but remembered her, "We have an important question to ask!"

"-Who is it?-" Stella wondered.

"Akatsuki and my friend Ziun," he answered.

"Hi Miss Stella," the monster said.

"-Hi you two. What is the question? Is it to help Ziun?-"

"Yes. I want to know if you have any picture or image of Yamigedo. Maybe I can remember something or everything if I see what he looks like," the Omni Lord was a little excited.

The woman made a few sounds with her mouth as she checked. It took a minute before she sighed, "-I'm sorry. No one thought of taking any pictures. But! I'll call everyone and get an image of the Great Fiend. Maybe Tenbu will help if he answer.-"

"Yes. Thank you," the duo replied.

"-Since you are here. I am still searching about how you can here Ziun and how you lost your memories. It's not advancing that much but we are making progress. Maybe this will help you too.-"

"Thank you, Miss Stella. I really need to remember things if I want to protect Akatsuki and all of you," Ziun thanked her with a small smile.

"Thank you. Call us if you found anything," the boy said.

"-I will. Have a nice day,-" she said.

"Bye!" they replied as he hung the phone.

After this, the two looked at each other with a smile. Even Ziun felt more optimistic now. Soon, he might remember everything or enough to be really helpful. The two hugged each other's.

Tasuku was gazing at a card that was put on a shelf, near his bed. It was a card left by someone he still considered that someone a friend. He didn't see the gray dragon for a year, yet, he still remained in his mind. With everything going on and the warning of one Star Dragon, he felt contemplating it once a day.

"What is it?" his buddy asked.

"I'm just thinking about Demios. I know he isn't my buddy anymore but I am… wondering if he is still okay. He is a friend too Jack," the boy justify himself.

Jackknife chuckled and sat by his buddy side, "I wouldn't mind that much if you call him once."

"That much?"

"We have history together and I won't cast it aside. We are family Tasuku and I won't lose that anymore," the green dragon remembered the pain of losing his buddy. That was why he modified his body.

"He isn't a bad dragon."

"I know. That's why I mind it a little," the dragon admitted.

"Also-" the boy noticed his buddy was lifting a dumbbell, "Where did you get that?"

"Hum? That. I purchased in on the net and we got it today. It's used to train your arms," the dragon replied.

"Is something going on?" the boy asked. He began thinking back. He never saw his buddy train that way before.

"Nothing big," Jackknife replied as the voice of the demons he dealt with hunted him, I won't stay chubby for long. Wait. I said nothing big. It has something to do with my weight and I do a stupid pun without realising it! Idiot! He came back to reality and saw the human waiting for an answer,"I just need to become stronger with everything going on. The demons are much powerful than expected and I have to stay in shape to protect everyone."

"I just asked what you wanted for diner."

Damn! He changed subject! "I'll want a salad."

"Again?" Tasuku asked.

"A change is good once in a while. I never really ate that before and I adore it," the dragon chuckled.

The boy was suspicious of his buddy's behavior but never pressured him, "Okay. I'll try one recipe Suzumi showed me. I hope it will be good."

"Don't worry. You are good at it. I'll help you out," he joined the boy.

As they prepared diner, the child began searching what was going on with his buddy, he brought a dumbbell to train. He wants to eat more vegetables. He often refuses dessert. Why is he doing that? Is it because of the demons attacking us? But when we dealt with Azi Dahaka or when I was gone, he didn't eat something else. The day before our final fight against the Darkness Dragon's he ate Karaage. He failed to put two and two together as he didn't find what triggered it.

If he did, he would remember the two demon siblings who called Jackknife fat, which was the source of his sudden change.

Azi Dahaka was sitting alone in his cell and waited for his visitors to come. The dragon wondered if it was Tenbu who would visit him. He knew that the clock was moving forwards.

He was a dark dragon with three heads surrounded with silver spikes and horns and red eyes. He wore an armor that looked like another head with a mouth opened on his belly section. Around the opened path, large fangs were present. In his SD form, it looked more adorable than threatening.

He tapped the table with his fingers.

"So you ca-" and stopped when he noticed it wasn't the old dragon, "Kyoya," he let out a small smile.

"Yes," the boy sat on his chair and faced the darkness dragon.

He was a teenage boy with peach skin, brown eyes and white hair with red highlights. He wore a white shirt with gray pants. He crossed his arms and waited for his buddy to ask the question.

"We were expecting Tenbu to come here you know," the darkness dragon commented.

"I was expecting it too but he asked me to come here and give you some news."

"When was the last time you visit us?" Azi checked at the guards. Like before, they were ready to act if they tried anything suspicious.

"Three months ago. They want me to have as little interaction with you as possible," the boy played with his hair.

"Of course, we 'used' you after all. They are afraid we might do it again and waste your life once and for all."

"I don't need you for that. Anyway, I came here to deliver a little message," he thought about it and said, "Tenbu wasn't able to pay you a visit. He is busy spending time with his grand-son, Drum Bunker Dragon."

Their eyes flashed a few times as they let the information sink in, "Wasn't expecting that. If he busies for that then…"

The boy nodded, "Exactly. He might never come back again."

"We see. we'll have to play my role soon," they chuckled and gazed at the guards, "Don't worry. We ain't planning to escape jail. We're not idiots."

Kyoya nodded. He thought about something and sighed, "Azi. What you asked me to do is fairly difficult with everything going on. It is here and you want me to give the world another chance. Might be- harder than you thought."

Azi chuckled, "But you are capable of doing the impossible. We wouldn't ask this of you if we have no faith. After all-" they grinned.

The boy chuckled and crossed his arms, "I guess I'm underestimating myself."

"You shouldn't be. Maybe you'll use the Future Force one day. You have that potential."

"Yeah. Azi?"

"What?"

"How's it going in jail? Are they treating you fairly?"

"Sure. It's not Darkness Dragon World jail and not from before we became the ruler. When we were arrested, we wait in a jail, impaled by spears for many days as a warning. One of those almost impaled my left lung. Could have died back then. Now, we chained them in their jail. Much… humane as you said."

The boy hid his surprise. His buddy never talked much about his past. They seemed to be a little more opened about it, "Stay on their good side."

"We have no reason not too. We have no motivation of trying anything on this planet anymore. Our world enjoys it the way it is. Us too," before they were silent.

The boy and his buddy were quiet for a while, before it was time for the boy to leave.

"Bye," the human said.

"Until next time," the three-headed dragon replied, I miss you.

Tetsuya and Terumi walked together. None of the children had their buddies by their side.

"So Asmodai is really an Omnilord," the girl said not that much surprised. She was a little suspicious since the demon attacked them and didn't wait for an Omni Lord to show up.

"You aren't that surprise yo," the boy commented. He sighed and wondered, "Was I a little obvious about who Asmodai really was?"

"Not really. I was just suspicious," the girl said pensively. She wondered what made her suspicious about it, "I just wondered a lot after the attack of the demons. I didn't ask Asmodai if he was or not."

"So, I trusted him too much?"

"I won't say that. Did he explain why he hides this to you?"

Tetsuya nodded and sighed, "Because he didn't want to show up and having responsibility on his shoulders. He didn't want to be known as an Omni Lord and things like that, yo. I wanted to know why and asked him a few times, but nothing more came out yo. He just repeated the same thing. I… think I annoyed him a little."

Terumi put her hands on his shoulders, "So he wanted to be lay back."

The face of the boy lightly blushed, "Y-yeah. I just feel like I never knew him at all yo," he sighed once again.

The girl hand returned to her side and thought about it, "You still talk?"

"I rather avoid him for now. If not, he would be with me," he pointed at an empty space.

"I noticed it. Tetsuya, maybe you should try and talk to him more. Not about why he hides the fact you are an Omni Lord but just like-" she was quiet, this is probably not the best thing to say. I just want help him, her suggestion changed into a question, "Did he really change?"

Did he change? Well… Did he? I- I don't think so. He's still the same. Maybe, "Well… I don't know yo. I just don't know," the boy put everything he knew about his buddy into question.

"I didn't change buddy. You are just mad at me for hiding things and lying to you," someone suddenly said.

They turned around and saw the pink demon letting out a small smile at them.

"Asmodai," they said.

"Buddy. I know you won't put aside what I did. As I said, I didn't want to be known as an Omni Lord. I became one because I had no choice. If I could choose something, I would be the same guy by your side," he interrupted the children as they were about to say something "As I said, I didn't change. I am the same pink demon. I'm used to not always be honest to my friends and enemies," he took a few steps in front of them and added one last thing, "That's all I have to say Tetsuya. No matter what, I am still your buddy."

"At least apology for lying!" Terumi yelled.

The pink demon from Magic World sighed, "It would sound a little half true don't you think? But, I am indeed-," he sighed and looked in the eyes of his buddy, "I'm sorry I lie to you Tetsuya. It is something I shouldn't have done. You put so much faith in me and I just break it like that. I'll say it again, I promise I won't lie again but I'll just not answer to questions I don't want to answer."

"Not that much better," she said.

"Okay," the boy agreed. He needed to hear it again. He kinda forgot that his buddy might not want to say more than he felt okay to tell.

The girl sighed as they saw the two having a small relief smile on their face. It seemed that they made up in some way. She knew it wasn't perfect. It will need time for that.

They continued walking together and had a small talk.

Tenbu checked at something he received from the blue dragon named Axia earlier. It was the card he asked to be made. He looked at it and nodded with a small smile. He was satisfied by the result, "That dragon is very talented, just like Baku," should I give it to Drum and Gao right now or wait for later? Hum… It might be better later. They will ask why I gave a card with a spell that had that face on, he put it in his helmet and returned to his current home.

When he thought back, he first saw that house as a place to stay until the upcoming moment. It wasn't long before that view changed and became a home for him, with his own kind of family, I sure did annoy Takashi when I try to charm Suzumi. I know I will never get her. Hanae Juumonji, despite her age, I can feel her vitality. Sad that her husband left her early. I would have like to meet such a man. He remembered the picture of Gao's maternal grandfather. How couldn't he, he looked similar to his grandson. That man would have loved to see his grandson. The pride and joy are how I would describe Gao and Hanako. Drum would be my grandson and Halberd the nephew. He chuckled at that thought, such a home.

The dragon went out of his reverie when he reached the house. Once he returned inside, everyone was absent except Hanae who was drinking some tea in the living room, "Hello beautiful lady."

She nodded at him. She showed another cup.

"A lady of few words as always. I will accept the invitation," he joined her near the table and slowly drank it, "Lovely."

"I heard what you told to my daughter and my son-in-law," she suddenly said.

Tenbu was surprised when she talked but quickly recovered, "So you heard. I'm sorry if you don't like it."

"I don't mind. That's what we would have done anyway," she took a sip beverage.

"I'm glad that this is who you are. Your family is wonderful."

"Our," she corrected him.

"Yes. Our," he giggled and let out a small smile, "I am a little fearful of the upcoming day to be honest. I love each of you a lot. We are indeed a family… Alas; it has to be done."

Hanae nodded, understanding what he meant.

They finished drinking together.

"We have to be proud of the young's," the old dragon commented.

"A wonderful generation is forming in Japan and the rest of the world," the grandmother added.

"I would have wished to meet your mate- I mean husband at least once, but he isn't here anymore," he commented.

"He was like Gao. Even incapable of noticing who was in disguise even if it was obvious," she chuckled, "It was very sweet of Takashi and my daughter to let me stay with them. I never once felt alone when he left us," She stood up and walked in the kitchen. She added one last thing, "We will make sure that everything you planned will work."

"With a family like this, I am not worried."

The two let out a small smile as the old woman left the room.

The old dragon was pensive when she thought about it. His smiled was large, since I came here. I too never felt alone, he then had a thought for the one he raised as his child, Yamigedo. Soon, we will end this.

Troubadour was playing of his instrument. He was alone this time but he could feel something for a few days. As time passed, the tension his body felt was slowly increasing.

Today, it felt like it was near it peek. On this rainy day, it was announcing something big about to come.

No one came to listen for his music, it wasn't a good time for that and he wasn't a super star. He was just someone people enjoy to listen on their way. He was someone who distract them and please them as they took a break from walking around. No matter the weather, he was there for his music and his passion, when off duty.

Despite that, he was half-heartily playing today. The tension was affecting his motivation to play music. Last time was the day before challenging Drum into their great battle.

"Yamigedo is coming soon," he whispered as he kept playing, "Tonight or tomorrow, they will be there. I can feel it," he felt uneasy. With his previous actions, it would be a terrible idea to try and help his friends. It was also an order, "Everyone. Hold on. You all have to be strong," he closed his eyes and kept playing. He had nothing else to do than wait. His time will come soon.

Drum looked by the window and saw the rain kept falling. The soft sound made on the windows was calming for the dragon.

Gao finished his homework and stretched himself.

"And done," the boy said.

"Good for you. Also, good that you pass the exam sessions," he commented.

"I had a better score than usual, so I'm happy for it," he replied as he tapped the back of the red dragon.

"Sure, you are," the dragon looked down for a few seconds, before gazing at his buddy, "Gao. I… I think Yamigedo will come soon. I have this feeling for a while and even grand-pa Tenbu is getting nervous."

The Mighty Sun Fighter nodded, "Yeah. I also have this impression. Today is just… different than before," his fingers were lightly shaking, "Wasn't this nervous for a while."

"Since Azi Dahaka?" he got his confirmation by a nod, "I'm sure we will be fine. Tasuku mastered the Future Force and can use it against Yamigedo. I think we will take care of the demons who will be by his side."

The boy nodded. His mother opened the door and suggested, "If you think he will come tomorrow. I suggest you rest. Just like for a big exam or when something important is about to come. You cannot stay up most of the night or you won't be ready," she smiled and came in. When she was closed, she added, "You have our support. I'll pray for you. Yota will also watch over you."

Big bro, "Thanks mom."

"We are always here for you," she smiled.

They talked a little before the boy went to sleep with his buddy. The two felt in a deep slumber, preparing for the upcoming fight.

Suzumi walked towards her chamber and crossed Tenbu.

"Even under the stormy night, you are wonderful Miss Suzumi," he said with his usual pink eyes instead of his eyeballs.

"I know," she lightly blushed, before her lips pointed down, "I hope they will be strong."

"They are."

"But-"

"It is something they will have to overcome. It's not the first time for Gao," the old dragon said as he gazed at the one picture of Yota.

"As for the pictures you wanted to make. They are ready," the mother said as she walked away.

"Thank you… And I'm sorry."

She didn't turn around, "Don't worry. We understand," and accelerated her pace to her chamber.

"The time is almost now Yamigedo. It's time to end this," the old dragon said with resolution as a tear escaped his eyes. He quickly cleaned it and went to bed.

The next day was a sunny day. It was a beautiful day where the sun let out its gentle light upon the city and the cavern, where the Great Fiend and his friend were up. The boy was sitting on the head of the monster.

"You slept well?" Ikazuchi asked the fiend.

"Of course. You are safe and I can sleep peacefully. Ikazuchi. What about you?"

"I'm back at full health Yamigedo. You have no reason to worry anymore," he said the true.

Yamigedo judge the tone of the voice and smiled. There were no lies, "Good. Get ready my friend. We are going to find Tenbu and end his life once and for all."

"And we will search the others," the boy said.

"We'll be certain that they will regret theirs sins!" he declared before he walked outside of the cavern, going to Tokyo.

AC: I put some little information that wasn't in the show. I gave a few things about Gao's grand-father and husband to Hanae. I didn't write it clearly, but her husband died before he met his grandchildren and a little why she lived with them. Hope you liked it.
