Hiya guys! Wassup peeps? I thank OtakuNekoGirl, who hasn't reviewed in a long time (Where'd you go, girl?) and told me the correction of Yoh's second weapon, and…Len…IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I SWEAR I'LL BE THROWING A NUCLEAR BOMB ON YOUR GRAVE BEFORE YOUR GHOST THROWS A GRENADE! Ah, ahem… here's it is...

Same Ground Ch. 10

"Aridas? Is that you?" It was Ianna, who was supported by Rio, Jun and Pai-long.

Ianna-dono! Good lycan, you've been hurt. What happened? Aridas asked. She gave the details of the battle, all the while the gang healed up and regained their furyoku back. When Ianna finished she saw the huge white black-armored dragon towering over them.

"So you've finally learned it Aridas?" she asked.

Hai, Ianna-dono. I've finally learned it and it seems Goku has too," Aridas replied.

"So that little bakasaru joined him as well…" Ianna said.

"What's this technique you guys are talking about?" Len asked.

"It's called Spirit Dragon. It's a stronger oversoul that uses two of twelve dragon signs and putting them into two mediums. Griffyn is the third dragon sign, the sign of unity. The other dragon sign, Owen, the eleventh dragon sign of courage, is Griffyn's brother who has been living inside the swords," Ianna explained.

"I see…" everyone fell silent as the cold wind brushed through everyone.

The new-improved Griffyn placed everyone on his head as Aridas jumped to his snout.

Where to, m'lord? Griffyn asked.

Hmm... Let's ask Goku first, Aridas thought. Hao walked up to Aridas, slightly limping. Hao almost fell when Aridas caught him and smiled. Aridas helped him sit down sat down himself.

"What if he doesn't give it to us?" Hao asked.

I think we should wait and see first before we do something to him, Aridas said as Griffyn moved to the rock wall he and Aridas had crashed Goku into. He was still in place, trying to get out. When Griffyn approached him, he whimpered as the dragon arched his neck so that he, Aridas and Goku were looking eye-to-eye. Aridas then pulled him out of the crater but Len and Yoh put their weapons an inch near Goku's neck.

"What do you want from me? Can't you see I'm trying to reminisce the day where I went wrong… because I see that I've been wrong ever since that day…" Goku mumbled.

Oh, nothing, just a few things and where your so-called lord rests, Aridas said.

"I'm not telling you! Not now, not ever!" he shouted. Aridas grabbed something out of nowhere. It was a pork bun. Goku looked at it hungrily; he hadn't eaten in days.

I guess you don't want this, then… Aridas said as he was about to eat it.

"NOOOO DON'T EAT IT! GIVEITTOMEIWANTITIHAVEN'TEATENINDAYS!" he begged.

Tell me what I need to know first… Aridas said.

"But…tch, alright…but the location's last so ask away…" he gave up.

Okay, do you or do you not know Dragon Unity?

"…Yeah, I learned it from someone," he answered.

Right…who are the other two dragons you've been using up 'till now?

"Uhh…it's both of the tenth dragon sign of Japan; Hikari and Hikaru,"

"So you got the dragons of light…" Ianna trailed.

"Do you have a problem with that?" Goku asked.

"No, of course not," she answered raising an eyebrow.

Continuing…so where's Kage? Aridas asked.

"Now why would you be looking for me?" a voice asked. Everyone looked to the side and saw Kage up on Shruikan, now twenty times taller then the SoF, on his shoulder. Since Griffyn had 'evolved,' he was about the height of Shruikan's abdomen.

"Whoa! That thing is HUGE!" Horo yelled.

Well, he IS the War God of Destiny… Griffyn said.

That may be true but… Aridas trailed off.

"What's wrong, Otouto?" Hao asked.

It's her… Aridas answered.

"Who?" Yoh asked disengaging his oversoul.

"He means look up!" Goku shouted. Len pressed his Kwan-Dao on Goku's neck.

"Say one more word and I will hurt you," Len hissed.

"Let him go, Len," Ianna said. Len quickly obeyed and also disengaged his oversoul. Anyway, they looked up at Shruikan's right shoulder (Kage was on it) someone was beside Kage. Beside him, was Anna.

"Anna! WHAT'S SHE DOING WITH HIM!" Yoh yelled.

"So you did do it to her…" Ianna mumbled.

"What?" Yoh asked.

Yoh, you must remember what Kage can do… Aridas reminded. Yoh thought for a while then his eyes widened.

"No…it can't be…" Yoh looked closer at Anna's eyes; it had a blank look. He then looked at her hand; it had indicated that a talisman entered through.

"Kage…why did you do that…" Yoh hissed as he put Amidamaru into Harusame then into the Utsu no Metameno Tsurugi and used the giant sword to shoot up to Kage.

"KAGE!" He was about to attack when something blocked him and sent him to a ground crater. When he looked up he saw bigger versions of Zenki and Kouki. Anna got off Shruikan and landed on Zenki.

Everybody, get off! Aridas said. Everybody jumped off Griffyn and did oversoul while Goku did Dragon Unity.

Brother, you fight Kage while we fight- Aridas began.

"No, don't hit her Aridas!" Yoh shouted.

But brother…

"Aridas…I don't want her dead!"

Yoh! Don't let your emotions take the best of you! If you do, it will be you who will be dead and then what will be of Anna? Yoh thought for a while.

"…Alright, I trust you Aridas. Just don't kill her," Aridas nodded as Yoh shot off after Kage who just dashed off to another place but not far from him.

Griffyn, Owen, release your true forms! Aridas commanded. A white light came form the inner core of Griffyn and split him and Owen, a black dragon, into their original forms. Aridas was on Griffyn and held the swords of light and darkness in each hand.

It has been long, my little brother, Owen greeted Griffyn.

Too long, my brother.

Owen, you must form the nightmare spirit blade and Griffyn, we must do spirit unity! Aridas commanded. Owen roared in reply and entered the two swords which became a long black blade with the hilt decorated with a head of a dragon as the eyes glowed an eerie red color. Griffyn went inside Aridas as white wings appeared on his back and his eyes were slit like a dragon's. He landed on the ground with silent wings.

"Are you okay. Aridas?" Hao and Ianna asked.

Yeah, and I talked to Yoh for a while. He's going after Kage while we stop Anna but not kill her. Aridas replied.

"Okay, then. That's our main thing; attack Anna but not kill her,' Horo said.

"Of course, you baka. Let's just start," Len said.

Author's notes: Whohoo! Another chapter done! If this chapter was too complicated in any way, review the thing to me and I'll explain it in the next chapter. R&R peeps 'cause I'll be doing the two chapters for the other story, so it's alternating and stuff.
