Chapter 26

They all took their time, they slashed at her, ripped her dress nearly clean off her body until she was left exposed. Their grins grew at the sight of her trembling against the wall. She couldn't run, she couldn't escape, and it was just as the great dragon said. "Lady Tiamat, she maybe my niece but she is nothing compared to me!"

How right he was.

She barely fought back, all she did was ensure their claws never reached or struck her distended belly. Lady Tiamat was forced to the wall as she braced herself for the worst. "Let's finish this, then, we will have our turn!" one male snickered.

Yet as he inched closer, there came an odd radiating aura from Lady Tiamat. Even she was stunned to it as it began to spread across the floor. The room filled with this black mist… was this curse energy? Then, two angry and yet powerful voices were heard.

You dare harm our mother…

The males paused. "If I didn't know any better, I would say one of them sounds like Sukuna…" one muttered.

But still, the temptation was too great before them. They began to make their move. 100 dragons against a lone, pregnant female… the odds were defiantly in their favor.

But then, why did these black veins appear on the belly of Lady Tiamat suddenly appear?

Even she was startled to it as the veins spread, but then, something appeared to happen. Her navel that was once protruding out began to fall back in and suddenly open…

She didn't know what was happening, it's never happened before! Yet… did Suiryu and Yuuji know she was in danger? If so, how are they able to do this right now? She felt an odd sensation growing in her belly, as the veins began to envelope her stomach, her belly button felt rather odd and growing. "Enough! Take out those bastards so she can birth our next power booster! I want LOTS of offspring from her for that!" one male announced as he came charging towards her.

She braced herself, but then, the room gasped.

Slowly, Tiamat opened her eyes. The dragon that charged was suddenly forced to the ground by a powerful, shadow like black arm! The arm came from her naval cavity! She froze to it, wondering if her soon to be children had found a way to fight back.

The dragon struggled, until the odd black arm began to wrap around it like a snake. It's legs and arms were pinned to its body as it began to drag across the floor towards her. Tiamat panicked as suddenly, the dragon was rendered down, pulled into her stomach and vanished!

She felt every bit of it inch and slink it's way through her, until it came to settle on her left side.

Her sons… her sons are feeding off of them!?

"What did you just do! You cannot do that!" one male protested. But then, more of these black arms began to appear, and they each grabbed hold of a dragon, binding them up and forcing them to wait their turn until one by one… they were swallowed up…

Kur was amazed.

He watched on as Suiryu and Yuuji fell into a meditative state, yet their bodies were reacting oddly, he sensed great power shifting into them, feeding their core as the dragon power within them was awakening far faster than expected. "I should have known." He whispered to himself. "Never has a demon sorcerer reached the level of a dragon, yet, when one does. They become a very rare breed… a demon dragon…" he whispered.

The two were silent for a good hour, until finally…

"BELCH!" erupted out of both of them! Yuuji fell back as he rubbed his stomach. Suiryu was trying to suppress the urge to burp once more. "Ugh… I feel… so… full!" he protested. "What the hell happened?!"

"UGH!" moaned Yuuji. "I feel like I swallowed a truck…"

Kur snickered, before he burst into laughter. "BAHAHAHAHA! You two never cease to amaze me!"

"Please… not so loud…" moaned Suiryu as he felt sick. "Why do I feel like this?"

Kur paused as he sensed, but he nodded approvingly knowing his daughter has made it back safely to Earth. "You two… just did something remarkable… unbelievable even. I am greatly impressed and now know what dragon you have become."

"What dragon we became?" muttered Yuuji. "You mean there are more than one kind?"

"Of course there is, and you are the first and rarest of them all!" Kur said and smiled proudly to them. "You are demon dragons!"

Suiryu froze, so did Yuuji who still couldn't bring himself to sit up at the moment. "Demon… Urp! Dragons?" Suiryu asked. "I never knew such a thing existed…"

"They don't yet… not until you are born that is," Kur said and still snickered aloud. "But now I do believe our training is coming to an end… After all, Tiamat is going to need a good, long rest after what you just put her through…"

They froze once more. Yuuji rolled himself up, but was stunned to his words. "What… did… did we hurt mom?" he asked nervously.

"You made her quite uncomfortable… You devoured fifty fully grown dragons each… it's not easy for her to contain such a massive amount in her body like that…"

"What the fuck…." Suiryu muttered. "We… HOW THE HELL DID WE EAT FIFTY DRAGONS?! LET ALONE A SINGLE DAMN DRAGON!?"

Kur snickered once more. "Your power has always been in what you have consumed, correct?"

"Well, his has been," Suiryu explained as he nudged his head to Yuuji.

"And as his twin brother, you gained that ability as well. What has been eaten, will no doubt give you a great advantage after your birth. But I do believe there is something the two of you need to do…" he said and gave them an odd look. "Tiamat is going to be asleep for sometime now, she has dreamed of holding you two as infant…" he said offhandedly.

Yuuji's face dropped. "Damn…" he muttered.

"What?" Suiryu demanded.

"He wants us to go to mom when she dreams, to become babies for her… Suiryu… we don't have a choice on this. We did this to her, the least we could do is let her have…"

"Yeah, yeah, fine… fuck!" he protested.

"You won't be able to come back and see me when this is over, I have trained you on all that I can, but now I offer you your reward. Speak of it, if it is within my power, I will grant it to you. What you ask will be shared with your brother… Even this…" he reached out and revealed two spheres before them.

"What is it?" whispered Yuuji.

"A fraction of my power. I can give you some of it, it will take time to awaken. But when it does…" he said in a devious tone. "But the choice is yours."

The two looked to each other, but then a nod came from both the brothers. Yuuji looked up and said. "I want the knowledge of all these rules that Tiamat's uncle… your brother has made in his realm." He stated.

Kur was stunned. Normally, a dragon would go for power to become the strongest! Yet, this one, wants knowledge? He nodded to him, and then turned to Suiryu.

This one he anticipated on wanting power, he did come from Sukuna at one point, but has since become his own being. "I want the knowledge as to how to bend and break his rules, to use them against him and to our advantage!" he decreed.

He was at a loss.

Never did he expect such a request from two newborns. Their main goal should be about getting strong, fast. But instead, they seek knowledge to help their mother…

He has never been so proud!

"My grandchildren… your request is granted, all knowledge of the rules and how to maneuver around them is given. But also…"

He flicked his claws, it was too fast to stop as the two felt the sphere get thrown into their mouths and hit the back of their throats. They swallowed rather reluctantly until they coughed aloud. "What the hell!" Yuuji protested. "We didn't ask for your power!"

He snickered. "I know, but you have earned it. Use it well and protect your mother and your friends… make me proud as your grandfather." he decreed. "Now… it's best you go to her. And make sure you act like what you are suppose to be!" he ordered.

Suiryu sighed. "Great…" the muttered.

"You get use to it," sighed Yuuji.
