Well, here I am with another update. I've been working on revamping "Changing Series: A New Foe," while wishing I had given it a catchier title, so that it will be ready when I wrap up "The Consequences of Fallibility." Anyway, here's part eleven, I hope you enjoy.

Part XI: The End of an Ancient
Kayura was wreaking havoc in the Dynasty. The power she gained had warped her mind, confused her. She stood on the top of a hill, staring at the expanse of buildings that led to the newly rebuilt palace. "I must take control of this realm! Then… then I can go to the Mortal Realm… I can prove myself to the Ronin… I can prove myself to Rowen! And if they won't listen… I'll… I'll conquer their realm, I'll force them to obey me, and I'll force him to love me! Yes! That's what I'll do! Yes! But Rowen… he wouldn't want to live here… I know! I'll destroy the mortal world so he can't go back there, then I'll destroy this world as well. Then the two of us can find a new realm, together," she spoke to herself rapidly as she began racing around the Dynasty, searching. "KUBI! KUBI WHERE ARE YOU! IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THE SCORE! COME OUT YOU COWARD!"
"You'll not be seeing Emperor Kubi," a cold voice said. Kayura turned to the owner of the voice.
"Ah Katie, what do you want?" Kayura asked. Katie's face was set in a cold hard stare. Kayura and her were on equal ground, the two blue-eyed Dynasty fighters staring each other down.
"To do this!" Katie shouted. In one smooth motion she punched Kayura. Then Katie held up her twin swords. "FIERY SCREAM OF DEATH!" she shouted. The attack took Kayura by surprise. She was blindsided by it, and lay on the ground panting. The power she absorbed had begun to wear away. Katie bent down next to her and observed her. The white armor on Kayura's arms was stained red with blood.
"That blood is not yours, you're obviously not protecting this realm from evil anymore, you are evil," Katie said. "And Kubi has no place for psychotic trouble-makers in his Dynasty." Then she stood up. She turned behind her to a group of soldiers. "Take her to the circle," she ordered. Then she disappeared.
O-
The soldiers dragged Kayura into the castle and down to the armory. There, a soldier named Daku proceeded to beat her. Once she could no longer defend herself, he threw her into a pool of dark liquid in the corner of the room. Kayura, though submerged, proceeded to scream. Her demon armor was ripped off of her body, and the two Starlight Swords flew from her hands and were secured to the wall. In an effort to protect herself, Kayura summoned Anubis' armor. However, the weapon did not appear. Daku dragged her out of the liquid. Two soldiers pulled her through the castle.
Followed by Daku, the two soldiers led Kayura outside, and up to a circle drawn on the ground. Empress Katie appeared on the opposite side of the circle.
"Lady Kayura, you wish to destroy the Mortal World, correct?" Katie asked.
"And then destroy this world!" Kayura yelled, a crazed look in her eyes. "And no one can stop me!"
"You have betrayed the Dynasty, and you shall be punished. You've been nothing but trouble since Anubis broke your bind to us," Katie said seriously, an uncharacteristic hatred in her eyes.
"And you've been nothing but a thorn in MY side!" Kayura screamed. She lunged at Katie, and Katie tossed her knee into Kayura's stomach. Kayura fell to the ground, but grabbed Katie's ankle in an attempt to trip her. Katie stepped on her wrist. Kayura's grip loosened. Katie jumped into the air and pulled out one of her swords. She rushed back and stabbed Kayura in the stomach. Kayura's eyes widened and blood trickled out of her mouth. The wind blew between them, and Katie backed away with her sword.
Kayura rolled painfully onto her stomach. "You cannot destroy me, I am the all powerful Kayura. I cannot lose," she said in a scratchy voice. Then she rolled her head to the side and whispered, "I've done all of this for him… I love him…"
"Daku, finish her," Katie ordered the soldier, looking at Kayura with disgust. Then she turned and walked away. Behind her she could hear the soldier raise his weapon and bring it down. Katie turned back around and watched as a few locks of Kayura's blue hair fell into a puddle of blood, her body obscured by Daku.
