Ozzie and his men patiently waited for Genesis to return. The dragoness had taken to the skies to see where the kings men were so an ambush could be made. A shadow blocked out the sun as Genesis descended upon her group. She made the earth beneath her shake as she landed. Smoke embraced her scaly body as she began to revert to her human form.
"The group is larger than we thought" Genesis informed Ozzie.
"I was afraid of that" Ozzie growled.
"We can take them out" Genesis reassured the fiend.
"Someone's optimistic" a nearby imp said. Eclipse transformed into his larger state and strode over to his master's side. Ozzie could only nod and he shouted for his group to follow. They had already crossed through the Magic Cave and were on the main land. Genesis was dressed for battle and she had her swords strapped onto her back.
After an hour's walk Ozzie found the spot to set up the ambush. Some of the fiend soldiers complained while Genesis told them to be quiet.
"Here they come" the same imp from before said. Genesis saw the kings men for the first time. Since she was four hundred years into the past the armor they wore was interesting.
"Now!" Ozzie shouted.
The human soldiers were caught off guard as the fiend soldiers rushed at them. Despite not expecting this surprise attack the troops drew their swords out and charged forward. As she ran Genesis pulled out one of her katana swords. Immediately two soldiers ran at her and she was ready. The dragoness didn't want to kill anyone but she would if necessary.
Calling to her fire magic Genesis leapt into the air and just as she landed on her target flames came to life on her blade. She then moved at a fast rate of speed performing her "Firestorm" technique. The human's armor lit up and the two soldiers panicked trying to get their armor off. While they were distracted Genesis knocked them out. She then focused her attention to the battle still going on. Numerous of King Guardia's men lay on the ground. Most of them were wounded while some were dead.
A snarl suddenly got Genesis to look on ahead. Eclipse was protecting Ozzie from a human soldier. Ozzie thankfully wasn't all banged up yet. The solider ran forward and his sword went into Eclipses fur. Genesis shrieked in anger and she ran as fast as her feet could take her. She was upon the man who dared to stab the last of her family. Ozzie watched as the dragon shifter unleashed her fury upon the solider.
She was pissed off big time. Genesis swung her fist forward and punched the man hard in the mouth.
She then stunned him using the hilt of her sword and the human feel to the ground unconscious. The dragoness then went to Eclipse. Ozzie got to his feet and hovered to Genesis and Eclipse.
"How badly hurt is he?" he asked.
"Just a flesh wound" Genesis replied. "He likes you enough to protect you"
"Stubborn fur ball" Ozzie chuckled as Genesis finished using her magic to seal his wound shut.
"Lord Ozzie!"
Both Ozzie and Genesis looked up to see the imp who was now all banged up rushing towards them.
"Flea and Slash have been defeated!"
"WHAT?! HOW?!" Ozzie demanded.
"The Frog!" the green skinned imp said.
Color drained from Ozzie's face. Whoever this Frog person was must have been strong to defeat Slash and Flea.
"I'll go" Genesis volunteered. Ozzie immediately turned his head to Genesis.
"Kid this ain't no ordinary knight" he warned.
"F#*k that" Genesis said. "He or she hurt my friends and won't get away with it"
"Sir we can finish things here most of the human soldiers are retreating" the imp added. Ozzie looked around and sure enough the injured soldiers were leaving.
"Alright kid"
"Take care of Eclipse" Genesis said as she removed her other sword from her back. She placed it onto the ground next to the other one before Genesis began to change shape. A few seconds later Genesis stood in her dragon form. She picked her swords up into her mouth and opened her massive wings and took flight. She flew as fast as her wings could carry her.
When she came upon the sealed entrance to the Magic Cave her silver eyes widened. Flea and Slash were both in bad shape and in front of them was what appeared to be a frog. Genesis gave a roar announcing her arrival before she made her descent.
She landed in front of Slash and Flea eying the mysterious figure before her. Standing before her was indeed a frog. However it had a humanoid body. It wore armor and it held a sword out before it.
"Move aside foul beast"
Genesis felt her eyes widen when she heard the frog speak. She dropped her swords next to her before she roared at the solider in front of her. The voice that came from the frog was male. Smoke surrounded Genesis before she was back in her human form.
"A dragon shifter?!" the frog man exclaimed.
"So you're the one who hurt them" Genesis said looking to Slash and Flea.
"Move aside milady"
"I will not" Genesis hissed. She held her hands out and her swords came to her. "You hurt them now you suffer the consequences"
Genesis then ran forward and she leapt into the air. The frog soldier immediately placed his sword out in front of him as Genesis came upon him. His sword blocked her strike. The knight then leapt into the air and Genesis couldn't see him thanks to the sun. He came upon her at a very fast rate of speed. Genesis quickly did a backward roll to avoid his assault.
The talking frog noticed be missed his target and he rushed at Genesis. He was fast but so was she. Again Genesis moved out of the way and she was quickly behind her opponent. She used the sword in her right hand to slash at the back of the frog man's head. The knight yelped in pain and turned around. Genesis then swung the sword in her left hand forward making her opponent's to go flying from his grasp. His sword landed in the dirt nearby.
The frog man hopped over towards his blade with Genesis hard on his heels. She threw the sword in her left hand down onto the ground as she summoned to her fire element. Her blade again lit up with flames and she jumped into the air ready to perform "Firestorm" when suddenly something sharp went through her side.
Genesis looked down to see the knight had his sword buried into her lower left side. The frog man then removed his blade and kicked Genesis hard in the gut making her go flying into the air. She landed on her back and she screamed in pain. The frog then leapt into the air again with his sword in hand.
Genesis heard Flea and Slash shout her name but didn't hear them. Ignoring her pain Genesis held her left hand out calling to her katana that lay nearby. The sword heard it's owner and flew forward. Genesis caught her blade and quickly called to her water magic. Suddenly ice particles came to life circulating around the dragon shifter. Ice coated the katana and Genesis weakly waved her sword in a circular motion above her.
This technique was called "Ice Storm" causing a whirlwind made out of ice to directly hit an opponent. The knight was caught off guard as the icy whirlwind hit him directly and at a fast rate of speed. The ice crystals cut into his skin as the attack caused him to crash into the ground hard. Genesis smirked weakly before she slowly stood up. Flea was the first to rush over to her.
"Your hurt bad" the cross dresser said.
"I will live" Genesis replied ignoring the pain.
However she spoke too soon and she felt her feet collapse from underneath her. Slash came upon Genesis's other side and caught her.
"Stubborn girl" he told the dragon shifter. Blood splattered the ground underneath the dragoness and it wasn't long till she fell into unconsciousness.
Magus was waiting for everyone to return to the castle. The first to return was Ozzie alongside Eclipse. Despite being banged up Ozzie proudly told his lord they had won. However Magus did not see Genesis with him. Ozzie was about to explain when Flea and Slash entered the castle. Ozzie turned and his eyes went wide at the sight of Genesis.
"What the hell happened?!" Ozzie demanded.
"She ensued a battle against that frog" Flea said.
Magus felt his eyes widen. It had been awhile since he last had heard from that pitiful creature.
"She defeated him to protect us and got badly wounded in the process" Slash explained. Magus eyed the unconscious dragon shifter in Slash's arms.
"Take care of her injuries" the dark mage told Flea. Flea nodded and Slash followed after the cross dresser.
"She fought well" Ozzie told Magus looking to him.
Magus nodded in agreement and looked to see Eclipse rushing after Flea and Slash. The fiend lord followed after the panther. The black feline was standing outside Genesis's closed door when Magus found him. The feline pawned at the door desperately wanting his master.
As he did this he reverted to his smaller form. Magus went over to the black cat and scooped him up into his grasp. Eclipse at first didn't realize Magus was holding him until he felt a gloved hand stroke his fur.
Magus took the size changing cat into his room and continued to pet him.
To his surprise Eclipse purred which made Magus smile a bit. The dark mage sat himself in the chair by the fire. Deciding to pass the time Magus summoned a book while Eclipse slept in his lap until night fell and the cat suddenly woke up. He leapt out of Magus's lap and the dark mage decided to follow after him.
The feline returned to his masters room and the door was opened this time. Magus came to a stop outside of Genesis's room and saw that his solider was awake. She wore a dark blue tunic and black pants. Her face had been cleaned up from today's battle and she stroked Eclipse who now was in her lap.
"He was worried earlier" Magus said entering the room.
Genesis immediately looked up at her master and felt her face turn slightly red. She bent her face down so Magus wouldn't see her blush.
"He always worries whenever I get hurt" she replied. She then lifted her head up again.
"You fought well today" Magus continued. "That knight you attacked is an enemy of mine"
That got Genesis to look at the fiend lord with interest.
"Forgive me milord but you have a lot of enemies"
Magus's response surprised her. He smirked and Genesis thought it made him look sexy.
"True I do have many enemies but that frog is unique awhile back I killed his friend and then turned him into his current state"
"I see" Genesis replied.
Genesis then winced in pain and Magus frowned. The dark mage walked forward and knelt before the dragoness.
"Let me see" he ordered.
Genesis nodded and lifted her shirt up to reveal the stab wound which the frog man had inflicted. What was left was a closed wound but it would scar. Magus didn't like what he saw and Genesis pulled her shirt back down.
"He didn't hit any major arteries thankfully"
"He will pay if he injuries you like this again" Magus said coldly.
Genesis didn't reply as the fiend lord stood up again.
"You will spend a few days resting"
"As you wish milord" Genesis replied.
Magus headed towards the door so he could let his soldier rest. However he stopped and turned to Genesis once more.
"I am pleased you joined my army"
Genesis looked up to the dark mage. She then smirked which Magus liked.
"Rest well" Magus told her before he took his leave.
