AC: This is the end of the first Season. I hope you enjoy the epilogue of the first season.

Chapter 33: The Upcoming Darkness

Rouga sat on the roof and looked at a disappointed Cerberus. He said nothing and let the wind blew on his silver hair.

"What are you going to do now?" Rouga asked the three-headed wolf.

"There is no reason for me to remain here. The bounty has been called of when Fang Slade Terrestrial The XIII condemned him to be exiled. It will bring me nothing to find him or steal things here. It is useless to remain here."

Rouga lightly smiled and said, "Maybe there is something that could convince you to stay here for now."

Cerberus looked at the boy curiously and asked, "What would convince me to stay here?"

"I received a call a few days ago from my friend," Rouga said.

"You never told me you have a friend. Why did he call you?" Cerberus asked, interested in a possible suggestion.

Rouga said, "A few days after the news and the creation of the laughable new police force, my friend called me and proposed something that got my interest. He wants to prevent something to ever happen again. That we won't live again."

Cerberus said nothing about his comment and asked, "What does he want to do?"

"That's simple," Rouga replied with a smile.

Shido watched Gallows and internally felt in a good mood. It was soon all over.

He's finally going away. I'll be free. He joyfully said in his mind. His nightmare was soon over.

As for Gallows, he hid it, but he was nervous and also furious. I can't believe the bounty has been called off! I needed that money now! I can't get out of this mess and I'm going to lose my head! I want to kill Fang Slade Terrestrial The XIII myself and everyone who stood in my way! Sha! Why did I have to do it in the first place? At least, I won't have to depend on the whinny boy. Too bad thought. I loved to scare him. He always makes hilarious faces. Sha. Sha. Sha.

Gallows turned toward the boy, in his chibi form and said, "Well. It's time to say good-bye. I finished preparing my luggage."

Shido stopped when he heard luggage. He turned toward him and saw that the dark monster held two suitcases. Shido said, "Why do you need that? You only brought your spellcards-" he guessed what he had in his suitcase, "Wait. Those are my stuff!"

Gallows laughed loudly and replied, "Sha. Sha. Sha. Of course it is your stuff. I brought almost nothing from my world. You were a little slow on that one. Sha. Sha. Sha."

"Give it back. Those are mine!" Shido yelled. He stopped when he realised what he said.

"Fine," Gallows said dropping the suitcase, "They would be useless to me anyway. Just did it to laugh at you. Sha. Sha. Sha. Well. I'm leaving now."

He opened the window and was about to fly away when a voice coming from nowhere said: "-Not so fast Death Ruler Gallows!-"

Gallows stopped when he recognised the voice. He immediately bowed and replied, not hiding his surprise in his voice, "You are here my king?"

Shido heard the word king, "K-King?" he whispered.

"-Yes.-"

"Why are you entering in communication with me?" Gallows asked.

"-I have two things to say. Once, I know of your situation Gallows. I've paid the dept. you owned. You're head isn't on the line anymore.-"

Gallows sighed in relief before gasping, "Why would you do that?"

"-Because you have some knowledge of this world as you've been here much longer than any of our kind and... I know you are a competent fighter and in other domain. Although you act solo, it won't be the case this time.-"

Gallows grumbled and replied, "This is why you paid the dept."

"-Yes. I want to have control over you. This is why you now have to pay your dept. to me. I demand of you full obedience in my orders. I will not accept any disobedience of my orders. If you don't obey me, I won't hesitate to end your existence.-"

Gallows grumbled quietly answer and replied, "I understand my king. What are your orders?"

"-Simple. You have to remain at your current position and you do not cause any trouble. I do not want to hear a single problem from you. No harm in this world. In other word, be at your best behavior. That is all.-"

Gallows bowed before turning toward Shido and telling the boy with a mocking tone, "Looks like you are stuck with me. I cannot disobey him or I'm dead."

Shido yelled a loud dramatic no.

Gallows rolled his eyes and replied, "I'm not happy either."

Shido calmed down and turned toward Gallows. He hesitantly asked, "Who is he?"

Gallows turned toward the boy with a serious glance. He said, "He is the ruler of the Darkness Dragon World. His name is Demonic Demise Dragon, Azi Dahaka. The most powerful dragon of my world. If he wants me to stay here, then you cannot stop me. One important thing when dealing with him. Never try to stand in his way. Because you have only two choices, fear him or die by his claw."

Shido didn't like the answer at all.

"Even if I don't care about you, just don't do anything against his will, and you'll be probably fine," Gallows suggested.

Shido nodded.

"Meanwhile. Let's go and meet your father. It will be fun to scare him! I love making you cry, but I need some variety," Gallows chuckled before flying outside the chamber.

"Hey! Wait!" Shido yelled, running after the dark monster.

A boy with white hair sat on his chair and watched the news, still talking about the apparition of monsters from other world. He turned toward something hidden in the shadow.

"Do you think Gallows will obey you?" the boy asked the being hidden in the shadow.

"Of course Kyoya. I can kill him anytime if he doesn't obey me," the other replied in an inhuman voice before picking a glass of wine, "What about you? Are you starting to collect the pawns?"

"Yes. I've contacted a good friend and a few others who might be interested in your plan," Kyoya replied before closing the television.

The other one drank the glass of wine before putting it back on the table, "Good. Once we collected every pawns, we can start the second phase."

"Of course Azi Dahaka," Kyoya said as he stood up and walked outside the room.

Azi watched the closed television and grinned, "One thing you are right about Hinako. Your world is about to change, but surely not the way you are expecting."
