Chapter 13: Death of Dragon, Birth of a god.

The two powerful dragonbreath attacks slammed into one another, the bright blast blocking out the sun. Kari and the other digidestioned watched the battle unfold. It was too unbearable to watch, the Kaiser was completely overpowered, and it would only be a few moments, until the young dragon was vaporized in a flash of unholy fire. The time to act, was now!
Kari, with a spur of speed, grabbed her D3 digivice, and tore out of the apartment. T.K. called after her, and the rest of the group ran after Kari. T.K. was about to follow, when he looked back out the window. There was the Kaiser, slowly his attack was being forced back on himself. The white energy was thinning out, against the overwhelming power of the darkness.
T.K. reached out, grabbed his hat, and tore full speed after group. His feet hit the cement of the pavilion, and he tore up the side stairs the led to the top floor, the roof of where is had all started. He ran up the stairs, his breath in ragged gasp as he kept up his fast pace. An arc of light flew over head, and exploded. Then another, the Kaiser dragon's attack was being reflected towards the earth. T.K. ducked, as another blast flew overhead, and slammed full force into a nearby building. The building shook one, and exploded in a shower of fire, throwing glowing slivers of steel, and concrete at the digidestoned. T.K. jumped over one large flying piece, running at full speed, he could see the end of the stairs. A loud wisting sound sounded behind him, and when he had gone as far as he could, he summoned all his muscular power, and leaped off the stars and out landed roughly on the roof. The steps that he had run on, vaporized in a flash of light, leaving only hot, molten metal in their place.
He lifted his head, breathing out a sigh of relieve. Kari was at the edge of the roof, watching the failing dragon put every ounce of his power to the test. Cody ran over, and his mouth fell open, "No matter…How hard he tries….That dragon is just to powerful!"
Kari nodded her head, "We have to try something! If we don't act soon….."
T.K. walked over, brushing off the dust and dirt from his small adventure, "We can't actually help! The Kaiser told us of what would happen if we did!"
Davis and the rest of the group walked over, the Kaiser was on his knees, trying to hold up his now feeble attack. His knees ground into the pavement, leaving deep trenches and spots of hot red blood. Sweat dripped down from the dragons face, his muscles twitching and his body shaking….He would not last much longer. His body was covered with deep cuts, leaving crimson trails down his white-dust stained body.
Kari yelled out to the dragon, "Fon-Lu! Don't give up! You're a dragon as well, you have to have more power than that!"
Davis chimed in, "Yeah!! You dragon's are tougher than this, show em what your made of!"
Cody smiled and called out," We are all being you Fon Lu! Don't hold back, let him have everything you have!"
Yoile yelled out," If you win this, I'll take you out on a date! So, you better not die on me!"
The dragons head jerked back, and the dark wave was pushed back, not by much but a little more than a few inches.
Kari's face lit in a grin, "Its working! Lets keep it up!"
The group yelled out encouragement to the young dragon, and the dark wave was slowly pushed back. The white dragon breath shone with alittle more light, the darkness was being purged from the attack. Bit by bit, the darkness was pushed back, until the two attacks met together at a half way point. Each attack equaling out each other at the epicenter of a circle.
The dark Dragon roared, its tawny eyes focused in on the cheering group. It lifted its arms, and with a quick downward motion of its hand, a flying black crescent wave of dark energy flew from its fingertips, steered directly at the digidestoned. The wave slammed full force into the roof, shattering the cement floor, sending a crisscrossing patter of cracks that rippled across the floor in a flurry of spider web detail. The group was thrown to the ground, the wind knocked out of them. They lay on the broken slabs of cement, not one moving, but their chest rose slowly with each labored breath.
The Kaiser's wings shone with a pure unresolved light, burning away all the darkness. The Kaiser breath started to move in on the darkness, the black wave was pushed back towards the Astral demon. The dark Dragon laughed, "Can this be true!? Have I found a worthy opponent after all?"
The dark wave grew in strength….Pushing against the white light, the light was slowly forced back to the halfway point. The Astral dragon laughed again, "You forget…Young Kaiser….I have your strength! I am…..The Perfect Dragon!" The darkness grew, and pushed the waves back down on the Kaiser….The young dragon's golden eyes bulged under the strain, but the waves slowed, and were slowly pushed back. It took all the strength of the dragon, just to keep the waves a few inches from his head.
Deep in the dragon's spirit, was the essence of Fon Lou. His mind, body and spirit of the dragon were one. Fon Lu controlled the dragon, yet the dragon controlled him. Within himself, he felt as if we was holding back, a small part of his power….Was it fear? Was he afraid to become a god? He knew that if his powers were liberated, that the Astral dragon and him would become one…..He closed his eyes, and urged the dragon to force the beam back alittle farther….He reopened his eyes, was it really necessary to kill another dragon? The Astral dragon was a chosen one…..He was part of Fon-Lu…Killing the dragon meant killing a part of himself.
Kari had nearly scarified herself to aid in his awaking…..His powers were still trapped by the fear and doubt of the unknown…"I….Mustn't be afraid….What ever happens, is the will of the dragon.." His eyes flashes, "I am a dragon! It is my destiny to become one!" Fon Lu became more connected with the Kaiser dragon….and released all his power.
The Kaiser dragon screamed as the power exploded deep with in its body. Large tendrils of light wrapped around the dragon, filling its every cell of its being with the holy force of light. The Kaiser breath was filled with the force of a supernova of hope, love, and kindness….Mixed with a supercharged dose of life. The two attacked merged, and the light readily pushed back the darkness. The dark Dragon screamed….The light was winning!
The giant attack finally, went nova. The force of the attack was fully concentrated on the Dark Astral Dragon. The dragons corporal form was shattered, its body tossed around in the cataclimisic powers that were the dragons. His wings sheared of his body, his bones crunched and snapped as mere twigs. His organs crushed and leaking out vital fluids. His whole being covered in blood….Fell broken and twisted to the cold, hard, unrelenting earth. The Kaiser dragon landed next to the broken, dying dragon. The Kaisers whole being was aglow with an heavleny power….Unrivaled by any known force ever created….This was the Son Of Ra Prine….His powers unleashed in a blind, fury that subdued his unmerciful fore.
The Astral Dragon opened one eye, blood dripped down from the corner, leaving a red blaze across his face. His mouth opened, blood poured out of the deep black crevice. "Why….Fon Lu? Why help the mortals…..They don't deserve the salvation that we can give them! They are weak, deceiving, cunning, sinning mortals!" Its eyes twitched, "Fon Lu…..Join with me…Together, we can purge the mortals, and revive the dragons to their original glory!"
The Kaiser dragon shook its head, "No….Astral. You lost, and now your powers will become a part of me. With your strength, I can repair all the damage done during our time on this world."
The Astral dragon laughed, spitting up blood at the Kaiser's face. "You ignorant fool……Your mind has become clouded, and is fogged by the truth."
The Kaiser smiled, "Your wrong…Astral, my time with the mortals has taught me much. They may be evil, devious, lying sinners that deserve to die….But they….They are also, Magnificent."
The Astral dragon laughed, its body shaking with laugher…..The dragon stopped laughing, as a jolt ripped though it. Its body begun to glow with white energy…The dragon let out a blood curling scream, as its body was dissolved, leaving only the essence of the dragon. This dark Aura of power, flew around The Kaiser, before being absorbed into the outer shell of the dragon.
The light and darkness mixed, and there was a bright flash of brilliant white light, and a loud animal cry of pain.
Kari woke up, to find herself out in the middle of a grassy plain. There stood Fon Lu, or what seemed like Fon Lu. She arose up, and ran over to the fallen god. What she saw, took her breath away. It was Fon Lu, only his hair was golden blond, with blue shimmering eyes. His body looked the same, only slightly tanner. He had an Aura around him, of a complete being. Giving him, a sense of absolute power.
She spoke to the young god, "Fon Lu? Are you Ok?"
The being turned to face Kari, he seemed to have a distant look in his eyes, almost a look of sadness, or an upcoming long awaited dread.
"I….I was once known by that name….But I am also the Astral Dragon…." His eyes started deeply into Kari's. "I am….Fon Lu and the Astral Dragon…We are one, fulfilling a ancient legend that was foretold before your birth into this world."
Kari nodded her head, "Why….Were are we, and why did you bring me here?"
The god smiled, "We are at the place of my summoning to this world. By Place of birth."
Kari looked around, the grassy plain seemed to stretch on forever. The night sky filled the heavens, and only the oddly bright stars were seen above. There were not cities, planes, cars or any sign of civilization.
The dragon started up at the stars, "This place….My birth….All happened in the dementia rifts of time. This is not the digital world, nor is it your world. It is a combination of the two, due to my intervention in your world. The space time vortex, can't exist with this hybrid world. To fully repair the damage, this time slot, will have to be integrated with the rest of time."
Kari shook her head, "Im sorry….I didn't understand half of what you just said…."
The dragon chucked, "In simple terms…..I wont be able to come back….After what I am planning to do…."
Kari shook her head, "Not come back!? What do you mean, and…..you have to be kidding!"
The dragon spread his arms, dropping his face towards the ground. "I will cast out the dragons…..By doing this, the hybrid world will be absorbed, and the dragons will never be able to enter the digital world, or the world that you know of…..ever again!"
Kari walked up to the dragon, he hugged him. "You would do that for us? You would cut off your only chance of ever coming back?"
The dragon gently pushed her away, "It's not a matter of choice….It is what must be done…."
The dragon took a step back, "Now go…."
Kari cried, and yelled out to the dragon, "No Fon Lu! We need you……I need you!"
The dragon's eyes shone with white power…As two angelic wings spread from his back, shining brightly in the night.
"Go Kari…….I am….Free."
The light over powered Kari, and she found herself sitting back on the cold, dark city of Kyoto.
She looked up towards the heavens, tears streaming down her face….Far off in the distance, an star glowed brighter than the others, then dissapered from the heavens in a spectular flash of rainbow colored light.
She smiled, and noticed something in the palm of her hand, looking downwards, she saw a bright, white feather……
