"Wait, Ryūji's now a dragon?" asked a shocked Mao.
"How is this possible, it was my fang that Slash Breath was created from, I should have been the only one to return!" said Titania who was having trouble hiding her rage.
"Eassy, Slash Breath might have been made from your fang, but the gold dragon put his soul into it, all it needed was the right host and you to be released in order to turn the wielder of Slash Breath into the next gold dragon, giving them all the knowledge he had," said Ryūji as Slash Breath returned to him.
"Now it's time to continue the fight from all those centuries ago, and finally end it once and for all," said Ryūji.
"Couldn't agree more, this time around I'll make sure you're the only one to die," said Titania as she turned into a large titanium dragon.
"Sorry, but it's not going to be me to die," said Ryūji as he turned into a gold dragon.
"Looks like I get to fight all of you," said Onyx as he looked at Eriko and the others. Up in the sky, Ryūji and Titania were in a heated battle.
"Take this!" said Titania as she fired a silver fireball at Ryūji.
"Not happening," said Ryūji as he used his tail to deflect the flame to a hillside.
"Soon this world will burn just like that hill," said Titania.
"Not as long as I live it won't!" said Ryūji as he flew at her.
"Do you honestly think you can win, you can't even protect those that you love," said Titania as she and Ryūji kept trying to claw each other.
"I wouldn't underestimate those that I love if I was you," said Ryūji as he saw that his people had turned the tables on Onyx.
"What, how can Onyx be losing to mere humans and a child dragon?!" asked Titania.
"Just like you, your husband is fueled by the darkness and hate he feels for others, but my friends and I accept everyone for who they are, and that's something you would never understand!" said Ryūji as his body caught fire while holding onto Titania. The flames that burnt on him were all the colors of the dragon races.
"No, this can't be happening, I can't be losing again?!" asked Titania as she burnt away in the flames.
"He destroyed her?" asked Onyx with a stunned expression. As he stood there, Mao used her ring to freeze him solid.
"Is that going to hold?" asked Eriko.
"It will," said Ryūji as he landed in front of them, turning back to human while also placing a hand onto the ice.
"Especially now that I've put some energy into it, the ice will never melt," said Ryūji.
"This has been a crazy day," said Masato.
"And the world is going to get crazier, now that I'm the gold dragon it wouldn't be surprising if new dragon races started to appear," said Ryūji.
"Then we better be prepared," said Rose as she and Misaki grabbed both of his arms and kissed his cheeks at the same time.
