CHAPTER 28: BAHAMUT
An arm of the titanous Weapon at their feet blew to bits sending the two flying out of the door and down the long shaft. They crashed painfully at the bottom.
Magus: Oww... this is not the way down two stories...!! He noticed the huge wave of flames bursting out of the room and down the shaft torwards them.
Magus: Move it! He levitated and flew forwards at great speed, followed by Alucard in wolf mode going at super speed. As they raced agaisnt the expolosion's wave, they noticed that everything else had already evacuated... As the door got in sight the flamy wave managed to roast a few of Alucard's hairs, showing them how close it was... As soon as they crossed the door, the ducked to the floor, letting the wave pass, leaving them unharmed...
Alucard: Made it...
Magus: Only the clock tower's left is seems...
Alucard: And beyond it is the castle keep and our foe. They went back up to the surface and back up to the top door of the elevator of the outer wall.
Magus: Now, to open this door... since we still have no idea how, I guess we'll just have to use brute force... :)
Alucard: Magus... is that skull shaped recess the keyhole?
Magus: Probably...
Alucard: Then wouldn't this help? He took out the jeweled skull he' found beyond the spike room. Magus stared wildly at it, impressed by the sheer sparkle it gave. He slid the diamond skull in and heard a small click as the wards faded and the door opened. They started out in a room very high in the tower, their only way across being jumping on two moving gears, killing a blood skeleton on each and goign up the stairs on the ledge beyond the gears. They just flew across, avoiding the entire gear thing. In the next room was a large chasm leading back down and a few pairs of staircases...
Magus : Ah god Dammit! More stairs! ...staircases leading up to platforms with bone pillars on them at the top layed a larger stone formation with an axe lord and a few ravens. They climbed up, killed the bone pillar on each of the 5 levels and cut the annoying ravens and axe armor to bloody pieces of armor and feathers. Beyond was a long room filled with gears and spear guards and axe armors, but they were right beside a giant gear and above the door leading out, so they just flew up to it and left the room. In the next room layed a long shaft filled with gears, steel pipes, floating platforms, spikes spear guards placed at important spots so they can stab you in the head and bat holes all over the walls... to be more precise, a large pain in the ass. After several tries, they got to the top and found a room much like the first. Two gears protected by ghosts, followed by the platform leading to the next room guarded by a red axe armor (the difference? They can run!) It was over in a minute. The next was another vertical shaft, but this time with stairs, medusa heads and gears, much easier to climb. After that room they emerged in the open, beside the huge display of the clock. There awaited a sorceress with hair made of flames riding a giant skull that stared at them with it's weird eyeballs. As soon as it started moving, they gouged out it'S eyes with their swords and cut both skull and witch to bits, going to the present. In the present, they were in a room with a huge jar.
Magus: Someone needs better ideas for home decorating... The next room featured pendulumns leading to nowhere and suspended over solid grown. They leapt off and followed the ground hall to a bunch of Sword Lords. They killed eah with one hit only to see their spirits rise again holding their broken sword. They died just as fast.
Alucard: More! More I say!! MORE!!
Magus: Um... Alucard? Maybe you should use another sword...
Alucard: Why this one packs so muck power!
Magus: Probably because it's practically controlling you. You are using a living sword. It has a will of it's own and if you don't watch out, you'll become a most wanted criminal in no time flat. The next three rooms were gear shafts with harpies and medusa heads, no sense wasting time on them... finally they left into a large exterior courtyard filled with remains of ancient arcways now nothing but broken and sometimes unstable ruins. A tremendous roar was heard and two immense dragons swooped down to the middle of the courtyard. Geyish Blue Dragon: You trespass within our lord's territory...
Blackish Blue Dragon: ... And so you must be eliminated. Both dragon's mouthes opened and energy gathered fast, bursting out with titanic force. The two attacks collided powerfully with the spot they'd stood, but they'd already left the spot. Magus landed one one hand on a column and used it to propell himself up to a more stable spot, the top of an old pillar. Alucard landed, but his spot immediatly collapsed, takign him down with it. Magus stared at his foes and started to laugh under his breath.
Magus: So... even gods of their stature can get possessed... just great, real encouraging for the future guys... but that just means I get to defeat gods, and not just any gods as well... Dragon got Bahamut, Destruction lord Tiamat, prepare to meet the reaper. For once this spell will work, since both of you are alive... "Heed me now he who is darker than dusk, heed that which is more red than blood.
In the name of that which has been buried in the bottomless abyss of time eternal.
I summon thee, master of the ultimate darkness.
Have no pity for the fools who stand in our way.
Infuse me with power, let you strength become mine to wipe them from the face of this earth, to deliver to them the ultimate doom.
DRAGON FLARE!"
Just like their breaths, power flared in his hands and burst out. Bahamut, being more agile and smarter, dodged the attack, but poor Tiamat was vaporized by the attack. Bahamut took the opening following the attack to fly in close and lunge at his fe with the huge claws on top of his wings... that is before the top of a wooden staff with a red gem in the center burst out of his chest, splattering dragon blood over Magus and makign the titanic beast crash to the floor. Magus saw his savior jump down to the corpse and followed. At the bottom was the man prying his staff out of the corpse. The man was aroudn 6 1/2 feet tall, slender, wearing weird medieval clothes and a cape and had short purple hair. He raised his head and stared at Magus with his seemingly closed eyes, a devilish grin all over his face.
Man: Well, if it isn't Magus. We just keep meeting, don't we?
Magus: Xelloss!
Xelloss: At least you remembered my name.
Magus: What brings you here?
Xelloss: Well, you know, the eternal continuation of Komasenso(Great monster war(The war between demons and dragons)) When Xellas heard that none of the Mazoku(Subrace of the demons) were invited this time and that Bahamut and Tiamat were there, well, you know her...
Magus: Yeah, I can guess...
Alucard: Ow... ?? Magus, who is he?
Magus: An old friend. Alucard meet Xelloss.
Alucard: Um... Hi.
Xelloss: Oh, so you're Alucard, Dracula's son?
Alucard: Um... yeah...
Magus: Don't be so tense.
Alucard: I can't stop myself he just doesn't seem normal.
Magus: He's a Mazoku.
Alucard: A... Mazoku.
Magus: Yeah... we fought side by side during one of the more known chapters of Komasenso back in 900.
Alucard: So... let me guet this staight. You can't stand to have Lyliara in the same room for the life of you, yet you're best friends with a Mazoku... Are you sure you're okay?
Magus: Just shut up. Xelloss: So, shall we go?
Magus: Allright, on to the future! The trio crossed the gate trio the future, not knowing what to expect.
