~A Moonlight Dance with A Demon~
~Chapter Thirteen: Confrontation of Pure Evil~
"I never noticed how cute my nephew is." Domon said as he watched Rain feed Kiy. Domon put on of his massive fingers near his hand and Kiy grabbed a hold of it. Domon smiled with warmth and said "I can't wait to watch him grow up."
"You know Domon, it would be nice to give him a little play mate, wouldn't it?" Rain asked, hinting around to Domon.
Domon smiled and said "In due time Rain. These kinds of things take time."
"Oh sure, and I see taking time means pretending to be your asleep?" Rain asked looking him in the eye. Domon flushed and looked away. Before he could answer they heard a loud thud that rocked the whole house.
"What was that?" Rain asked as she looked around.
"Stay here, I'll go see." Domon said getting up. He went to the door, opened and looked around. A shadow loomed over him and he looked up. He saw this large thing looming over him, standing on long skinny tentacles. He gulped and went to snap his fingers for his gundam, but the tentacles were faster, they smashed into him and then into the house creating a lot of damage.
After Domon was out of the way, it came after Rain and the baby. Rain ran as fast as she could and found a safe hiding spot that he couldn't get to her. He tried reaching in but she was too far in, she breathed a sigh of relief when it finally left, but then realized Domon was still in the house, and unconscious. She held the baby tight and started to run out. She saw it carrying Domon away. She yelled "HEY! PUT HIM DOWN!" She snapped her fingers and Burning Gundam arose.
While she got in the Mobile Trace Systems Suit the baby sat and waited in the cockpit with her. The thing crawled away like a spider. She went after it and impaled it with the spikes on Burning Gundam's right arm, she heard it squeal in pain, but it didn't let Domon go.
It sent a shock though the gundam and it disabled her for a few moments, which was long enough for it to get away with Domon. She grabbed Kiy and held him close to keep him safe until his mother and father got back.

Both Kyoji and Cloy almost ran the horses to death getting back to the ranch. Cloy came up and while the horse was still moving, got off and let the horse go over to the handler. "Thanks Aunt Mina. We'll be back." Cloy said and ran over to Kyoji's truck with Kyoji in tow. "I so hope we aren't too late" Cloy sighed as the engine roared to life and they set off for home.
By the time they got back to the house they noticed Burning Gundam in the yard and all the destruction. "What happened to my old home?" Kyoji gasped as he assessed the damage.
"It was that thing that Koga told us about. He came in here and tried taking Kiy. But… oh Domon…" They heard rain say as she sat in the rocking chair with Kiy. Cloy came over to take the little burden away for a while.
Kyoji came over and gently put his hands on her shoulders "Where's Domon? Where's my brother?" He asked looking into her eyes.
"That thing… it has him." She managed to get out.
"Oh, where am I?" Domon grumbled out as he came to. He tried moving his arms but noticed them stretched out to each side in a cross like form. His feet were anchored to the wall tightly by the same metal bands that encased his wrists.
"Domon Kasshu." A deep, almost mechanical, voice whispered. "This should tempt your brother into handing over what I need."
"My brother will never hand over his son." Domon shouted "He will never let you use his body against anything."
"Use Kiyoto? Why would I want to do that, he is just a baby." Epoch laughed as he came into view. Domon saw the grotesque fetchers of his face that had been twisted by metal and ageing. "It's really Cloy I want." He clarified.
"Cloy? My brother's wife?" Domon asked, "But you…?"
"I know, I came after Kiy. But I thought if I took him I could get her to surrender to me so I could finally have my vengeance. But since you were more accessible then the brat, I took you instead." Epoch said "The brat took off one of my tentacles." He said holding up the repaired tentacle. "So I started thinking maybe I shouldn't get him and instead someone else."
"How? How did my nephew do that to you?" Domon asked skeptically.
"He bit it." Epoch said "right off. He has some sharp fangs."
"She'll never surrender." Domon said "and my brother most certainly won't just give her up…" Domon said cockily, earning a slap in the face by one of the hard metal tentacles. When Domon went to turn his head back, one of the claws at the end of the tentacles was shoved right into his chest, knocking the wind out of him.
"With that kind of attitude Domon, I might just decide to kill you now." Epoch growled between clenched teeth.
"You can't kill me, I'm too valuable." Domon laughed. "If you were to kill me who would you bargain with?"
"Hmm, you have a point." Epoch let up on his hold of him and thought about it for a moment. "Yes, your right. I can't kill you." He looked back over to Domon and then said "But I can knock you out." Just then one of his fists plowed into Domon's jaw and he saw nothing but blackness for a long time.
"Where do you think he took him?" Kyoji asked, in Neros-Wolf Gundam. He had on the MTS suit that was practically identical to Domon's.
"Well, they can't have gone far, they hadn't had much time to get much of anywhere by the time you two showed up." Rain said, in the newly rebuilt and remodeled Shining Gundam. Domon had given it to her just in case.
"Yeah, I mean they have to be around here somewhere." Schwarz agreed, following along in his already rebuilt Spiegel Gundam.
"I really don't know. But maybe Koga has an idea." Cloy said, in her Flaming Gundam. She had decided that it was best if Kyoji used Neros-Wolf Gundam, until his request for a gundam of his own was taken care of, and then Kiy could get Neros-Wolf Gundam when he was old enough.
"What do you want me to do? Sniff him out?" Koga laughed. "We are dealing with a pro here. He knows what he's doing."
"I'm sure; we just need to know a basic idea of where to look." Cloy said, stopping where she was for a moment to listen to Koga.
"Well, he would want something secluded, where no one would think to find him and high up. He always liked places high up." Koga said.
"I'VE GOT IT!" Kyoji yelled, surprising everyone.
"What, what?" Cloy asked, looking over at him.
"Fuji Mountain." He said simply. "It's high up and secluded. I don't think many people would think about looking up there, that is if they don't have a death wish." Kyoji replied, coming over to his wife.
"I think it's worth a try." Koga said looking up at Cloy from the computer screen she had him on.
"Yeah, that would be great." Rain replied. "I just want my Domon back."
"Aw hell ya got my vote." Schwarz said as he listened to the plan.
"Right, let's go." Kyoji said and kicked off and headed there with a renewed vigor. Cloy followed close behind along with Rain and Schwarz.
"I hope it was ok to leave little Kiy home with my aunt. I know she'll take care of him fine, but what if Epoch finds a way to get to him?" Cloy sighed.
"Don't worry; he'll be too busy with me." Koga replied.
Cloy smiled and they were almost there.
Domon woke yet again to another headache, and a very high pitched tapping. He thought it was in his head until he looked down and saw Epoch taping his claws on the arm of his chair. "Step into my parlor said the spider to the flies." He heard Epoch growl out.
He looked past Epoch's shoulder and saw the monitor he was watching. He saw the four gundams and recognized them all. "What are they doing?" Domon whispered though clenched teeth. "They shouldn't have come for me."
Epoch heard and said "Don't worry; your life will be over soon enough." Epoch got up and said "I should go greet our guests."
Domon heaved a heavy sigh and let his head fall. "Please Kyoji, don't fall for his tricks." He looked up with the glint of tears in his eyes, "I don't think I can lose you, or Cloy, again."
