Floating Fort
The next day, the old blacksmith had finished the weapon upgrades. He gave them back to their rightful owners with a smile. He also wished them luck on their quest. Then he sat on his front porch and watched the heroes fly away on their dragon.
"This is it then. Those kids are the only chance we have for survival," he stated to himself before returning inside his forge.

Luna flew higher and higher until she was at the same height as the fortress. Then she flew in closer for a landing in front of it. Once landed, Luna let her passengers off. "I'll wait here for you," she told the heroes, "Come back after killing Fury."
"Ok, Luna, see you later," said Bit.
Leena added, "Don't worry, Fury doesn't stand a chance against those who have the will to survive burning brightly inside of them."
They went through the door and entered the fort. Once inside, they began encountering Fury's zombie slaves. Although they felt sorry for the poor people, the warriors cut them down. A joint consensus had been reached that the people were suffering, and killing them would be their only release from the pain. So no matter how much it hurt, they were forced to partake in the gruesome task of killing their former allies.
"When I get my hands on Fury, he'll pay," cried Leena after they'd killed off the zombies. It hurt her and Leon to have to kill them more than anyone else. After all, these were mostly Jatiran soldiers, people who had once played with the siblings when they were kids. Leon had even been forced to slay his best friend in the whole world.
Bit put his arm around Leena. "I know how you feel," he told her, "We'll avenge them when we find Fury, don't worry Leena."
As they continued onwards, they ran into a large Ogre. It charged at the warriors in a rage, as Ogres tended to do. But it was not as fast as the Firebird-or as hot for that matter-and was slain with Leena's Fire summoning spell-Devil's Incinerator.
"I think the natives are restless," joked Fara, "They're just itching for us to kill them these days. Well, as I always say, don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
'That's what I always say,' thought Jamie, but he wisely kept his mouth shut. He knew how Fara could get if provoked. She was usually a nice, sweet, and innocent girl, but put her in battle or make her mad and she could be another Leena.
With no more obstacles in their path, the warriors ran on through the fortress. Soon they'd arrived at the main control room. Fury was sitting on his throne, sipping a martini and laughing over his conquest. When he saw the heroes, he let out an evil sounding laugh.
"So, you've finally come Bit and Leena," cackled Fury, "Or should I be calling you Garreth. Or maybe.I should just call you Gabriel and Lesalia."
Bit went for the hilt of his sword. "You will pay for all of your crimes against humanity Fury. Or should I call you Xavier, brother dear."
"Fool, you shouldn't talk like that to me. I am the older of the two of us after all, both physically and spiritually," Fury retorted.
Bit called back, "Yeah, you're physically older. By three minutes no less. How much of a difference can three whole minutes make?"
"Well, I was raised by monsters. They taught me how to fight and kill with relative ease. What were you taught?" Fury inquired.
"I was a slave," yelled Bit, "And since I behaved myself, I was allowed to use a sword and escort the Imperial Caravan. Imperial sword techniques are quite famous and powerful, and I was trained by one of the strongest warriors in the empire."
Fury prepared a comeback, but Leena but in. "If you boys are through with your little sibling rivalry, can we continue the battle?"
"Got carried away, what was I thinking?" asked Bit.
The group immediately began to fight. As a human, Fury was no match for them. Although he had some great magic, and had proven to be a decent hand with a sword, he was still up against eight fighters who had some sort of professional training. Soon he took a powerful hit from one of Leena's spells, and went down. Fury screamed, "If you want to fight, then I'll give you one. May your deaths mark the glorious beginning of my world devoid of human life." With that, a bright light surrounded Fury. It suddenly began to grow bigger and change shape until it resembled that of a giant wingless dragon that stood on its hind legs. Finally, the light died down. When the group saw what Fury had become, they all laughed.
"White! A demon that is white?!" laughed Leena.
Fury yelled, "Silence! I can't help how I was born. Why do you think I'm so determined to destroy humankind? I want to prove to the other demons that I can be a tough guy too. I'll prove it to those fools who laughed at me for ten thousand years." With that, he began to attack with his claws.
Everyone jumped out of the way. Leena immediately used her Light summoning spell, Holy Judgement. "Since Fury is a demon, he's most likely weak against light magic, since demons are all creatures of the darkness. Jamie, Fara, back me up with your light magic."
Catching Leena's drift, Jamie and Fara also used Holy Judgement. The others attacked with their own weapons. Once in awhile, the three mages would also use their weapons in order to save some of their magic power, just incase Fury had any other surprises for them.
Soon Fury prepared to cast the Dark summoning spell, Hades Blast. Around that time, Leena got an idea. She energized Bit's sword with the power of Light with the spell Light Blade. When he slashed Fury again, the demon screamed in agony. Instantly, he fell to the ground, dead.

More summoning spells. They're always the most fun spells in an RPG. I am using the natural logic when figuring out a demon's weakness. In any RPG, they are all weak against light. And Fury is supposed to resemble the Berserk Fury. When I thought about it, I realized that Berserk Fury was in white armor, since Vega didn't have anything but the basic components. So I decided to make a joke about a demon in white. I've got one more chapter on the way, but I'd like to know if anyone would like to see a sequel. You see, I'm out of ideas for Zoids fics, since the only other one I've got requires me having certain information for the different races of the world that I only partly have. The sequel may be a long time coming, since I'm devoting my time to some other pet projects of mine.
