Slayer: Last time on Dragon Ball Z! Wait sorry wrong show…

Judan: Okay… so last time on The Black dragon The White cat, is that good enough?

Slayer: Yeah it's passable.

Judan: What do you mean by passable?

Modaga: Don't worry about him he's just trying to make you un-youthful.

Shadow: Oh… finally back from your vacation then?

Samuel: Yes and he's decided to bring me along… speaking of which what happened to your guy's house?

Slayer: Ophis blew it up during the Void Emperor story but let's not get into that.

Shadow: Yeah a beam landed on my head… So onto reviews!

Neos: He changed his attitude quickly…

Slayer: Quite the specialist isn't he?

Shadow: Yeah… anyways we still only have RedBurningDragon who we've named an honorary member of the Dark Guard woo hoo!

Neos: Yep anyways we can see where you're coming from with the blood bending thing. We ourselves have actually just re-watched Avatar ironically. Also yes the movie needs to burn in the deepest pits of the Abyss…

Shadow: Sorry but we don't really have burning pits there, really the abyss is kind of… boring actually.

Neos: Way to spoil things… Anyways continuing… doesn't everyone love traps? Though in this case, the trap is a trap of a trap. One of which Christopher sprung on purpose.

Samuel: Yes my lady will finish him off quickly!

Slayer: Like our friend said it is ironic that you worship an apocalyptic alien.

Samuel: A what now?

Shadow: Ignoring him we'll clear up your confusion about Red. He's still alive and being a nuisance in the gap. The ranking of the strongest dragons just exclude him, because the guy is actually quite cheap. I mean he can make himself the strongest just by imagining himself that way! How is that fair?! I want that power!

Slayer: You're not getting it!

Judan: Yeah… now then about the fan art of Suki and Fuyo… to be honest we'd like to supply but we don't have the artistic ability to do such a thing yet. But if anyone out there wants to do any fan art of any of our stuff let us know.

Modaga: Yes now that's all we can answer but we will say that the youthful Red will be not appearing yet. Now as our youthful guest can you do the disclaimer Samuel.

Samuel: Alright… Now then we here at the Dark Guard productions own nothing but OC's and reality building concepts. Anything else belongs to their respective owners, now without further ado…

Chapter Eighteen: Wait I is a Divine what Now?

The Purple Enchanter

Looking forward I faced off against Samuel once more. I had out Shiro Kage and was thinking about the last time we fought. It was an outright loss and he had even hurt me emotionally. Because of that I had attacked Koneko, or should I say Shirone?

That doesn't matter anymore today I'll prove that I am strong. So with a breath I yelled out to my opponent.

"Samuel this time you're going down!" He seemed to smirk but it was hard to tell since his face was basically a metal skull. Although I did see some of his skin and hair growing back. Just what is he anyways? Shaking my head I didn't allow him to reply, and just summoned a few of my shadow tags. That's when I sent them out at him and our fight began once more.

As expected of the spear make user he blocked them all, however my plan was to beat with smarts anyways. After all last time I tried beating him in a battle of skill and power. And while he did "cheat" I still wouldn't have beat him, he was just too strong. However this time I had experimented with my sacred gear and increased my arsenal. Really all I had to do was hit his shadow with one of my tags and its game over.

However as I saw him create five spear wyrms I quickly realized it wasn't going to be easy. So taking a breath I dispelled Shiro Kage and created two new swords. One was a black bladed katana, the other a white bladed one. Just in time to as one of the wyrm's struck at me, in return I held up the white one and an energy shield formed to block it.

However despite being able to block the wyrm I was still pushed back. Eventually it pulled back and I smirked, that's when I slashed at it with my black katana. As soon as it connected the thing fell apart before disappearing. Looking over at Samuel I saw that his jaw was slack with shock. But I wasn't about to let him recover and summoned shadow tags where his shadow, and where the shadows of the wyrms were. Then with a small mental command I launched them.

With that he and his metal monsters froze, as the tags embedded themselves in their shadows. Seizing my chance I charged at him, but before I got close enough he summoned more spears and tossed them at me. Scowling I just either used my white katana to shield myself, or hit them with my black. Either way worked and I saw any skin Samuel might've re-grown flake off. Unfortunately my luck ended as he created more wyrm constructs to attack me.

As I defended myself from two of them another took care of my shadow tags. This allowed the other wyrms to attack me again, as Samuel jumped onto one of them. Gritting my teeth as ten of them surrounded me, I saw them open their "mouths" and white light came out. Knowing what was about to happen next thanks to Milly, I created a ring of white katanas around me.

Just in time to as they all fired at me. However when they finished my swords were cracked but otherwise good. But I was breathing heavily; reinforcing my barrier swords like that was hard work.

"I must admit that your mastery over your sacred gear is far greater than it once was. But do you think leftovers like yourself can truly beat me?" Looking up at Samuel I tried not to let his words get to me. So instead of answering I just tossed a guard-less two edged sword at him. He moved his head, but he must've noticed something about the sword as he spoke to me.

"That sword… it felt like a reapers scythe. I see that you decided the best way to kill me would be to cut my soul into ribbons. I see that you're taking after a certain black dragon. Smart but you have to hit me for your plan to work. Still now that we've gotten serious I guess I can do the same. Balance breaker…" The moment those words came out of his mouth, my eyes widened as all the wyrms disappeared and he landed on the ground.

A spear replaced them in his right hand; however it seemed quite normal looking to me. It was six feet long and it looked like the handle was made of wood. The head however was sharp and made of steel.

It really confused me because it was just too plain looking. Unfortunately before I had a chance to observe it further he charged me. So gritting my teeth I raised my shield katana but somehow the spear slipped right through it. My eyes widened in shock as I jumped to the side, unfortunately I wasn't fast enough and he grazed my left side. As the pain settled in I struck out with my black katana, only for it to shatter as he blocked it with his spear. At that point I started to feel fear again as I jumped back.

It must've shown as well for he mocked me again. "It would seem as if your boast from before was just words. You're shaking right now because you put a lot of thought into that blade. And really it was quite interesting; it was able to not only destroy metal. But also disrupt a sacred gears power. Which was how you destroyed my wyrm constructs. However with this spear I can do literally anything I want. Now I'm sure you can get the picture about what's going to happen to you."

It was at this point that much to my own shame I started to feel rather helpless. With that single spear of his he could theoretically counter any sword I create. Even my shadow tags were useless now.

Feeling a shadow over me I looked up to see Samuel right in front of me. Though surprised I instinctively took a swing at him with my remaining katana. He only moved his spear into the path of my blade causing it to shatter on contact. He then swung the bottom end of his spear at me hitting me in the face. I was sent flying back and landed on my side as I grabbed my right cheek.

It stung but I knew I had to ignore that. There's got to be a way for me to turn this around! While I was racking my brain for an idea, I saw Samuel stab his spear into the ground. Then before I knew it a spear was sent right through my bowels. But what's more it felt as if it was melting my insides. The pain was excruciating and I screamed as steam came up from my wound. After a few seconds he withdrew the spear from the ground, and the one in my stomach followed it.

There were some tears from the pain coming from my eyes, and it hurt to breathe. Just what in the hell did he do to me?! With that thought I ignored the pain with gritted teeth, and created a long silver katana. Then with terrible pain I got up using it as a crutch, all the while I held my wound with my left arm. When I looked down at it my eyes widened with horror. The area around my dress was burnt, and there were some black pieces of flesh in the wound. He literally burned me…

"Ha! You should see your horrified face!" Looking up at him I took a step back as he was right in my face. But before I could think of doing anything else he thrusted his spear into my shoulder.

"AHHH!" I couldn't help but scream again as I felt the same burning feeling as before. But it became even worse as he started moving the spear around. At that point I couldn't help but collapse to my knees in pain. I would've even fallen on my face but his spear was holding me up. But what he did next was truly horrifying, because he put his hand on my sternum and somehow made it go inside me.

He then moved it and I felt something enclose around my heart and squeeze. I couldn't help but scream louder than I've ever screamed, the pain was so bad that tears were streaming down my face until I felt him let go and speak to me.

"You know this is what I meant when I said my spear could allow me to do anything. Really this is one of the ultimate balance breakers. Now then I guess the only thing left for me to do is finish you." He started squeezing again making my vision start fading, until I heard a much welcomed voice.

"Get away from my baby sister!" Though I was barely conscious, I turned along with Samuel to see my brother sending a flying kick at him. The kick connected sending Samuel across the lawn, however he was still holding his spear and it tore out of my shoulder. It hurt… quite a lot… but as I slumped forward in pain Juda caught me. "Mega heal!" With those words I felt myself reviving as my wounds knitted themselves together.

My breathing returned to normal and I even felt my energy return. It was a new spell but I couldn't acknowledge it, instead I started crying in shame. Because in the end I still wasn't strong enough to deal with Samuel. No he had completely demolished me. Really the moment he entered balance breaker the fight was over. Eventually I felt myself being lifted up as Juda hugged me to his chest.

"I can tell what's going through your head, and you really shouldn't be thinking like that. For now just be happy that you're alive. And remember that I'm always here for you. After all I'm just happy that you're alive right now." With those words I snuggled deeper into his embrace though I was still crying. But as I remembered the last conversation I had with him guilt started eating at me.

So with a hoarse voice I apologized. "Juda… I'm so, so sorry for saying what I did during that fight I had with Shirone. I was frustrated, jealous, angry, and also scared. But that still doesn't excuse the way I treated you." Juda didn't say anything only hugged me tighter, but that was all I needed. I knew he had forgiven me, but alas this touching moment wasn't to last as Samuel spoke up.

"Ugh… you have quite the kick don't you?" Looking back was saw Samuel standing up, except his jaw was cracked and was barely hanging onto its upper part. "You broke my jaw, but I guess you don't really care. But still… now you've pissed me off!" His sudden shift in personality scared me. "I'll bring you to your knees! Then rape your sister in front of you!" At his words I couldn't help but try to get deeper into my brothers embrace. Because as he yelled his jaw fixed itself and fire appeared in his empty sockets.

It was then that I felt true fear… really I'd never felt something like this before. It was as if Samuel was a man who broke free from the pits of hell. Though it was a guess, something told me that I wasn't wrong as fire encompassed his entire body. It was so hot that I felt extreme heat even thirty feet away from him.

Though it made me wonder why he was scared of Sera, I mean Glacial was understandable. But Sera didn't seem nearly as strong as he was; it also made me wonder why he didn't use his full strength against the others. Unfortunately I couldn't think further as he seemed to teleport in front of us. But that's when something unexpected happen. A strange line of some sort, latched onto his arm as he was bringing back his spear.

Something than tugged on it hard enough to pull him back, and toss him back onto the ground. Looking at the source of it, I saw the line attached to some strange chameleon looking gauntlet. Looking at the person who was using it however made me yell out in surprise.

"Saji?!" Yep it was Saji Genshirou though I had no idea why he was here, although he did look ruffled up and extremely annoyed.

But as he turned to me, he yelled in frustration. "What the hell is going on?! I finally drag myself back here intent on beating the ever living crap out of Christopher, Issei, and Kiba. But instead I find all of you under attack!" It was then that I realized something.

Wait didn't he go with Chris yesterday to track down the enemy? Why didn't he come back with them? As I pondered on that thought, the "tongue" of the chameleon on Saji's hand glowed and Samuel's fire seemed to weaken a bit. Seeing this as his chance Juda put me down before charging Samuel. Looking between the charging angry older brother of a dragon, and also the strange blonde guy who was stealing his power Samuel looked very conflicted.

Or at least as conflicted as a metal skeleton skull could be, but he somehow kept his cool as he cut the line with his spear and thrusted it at Juda. My brother however dodged the attack with ease and punched him in the jaw. It was strong enough to send him flying back and break it again. But Juda wasn't done and grabbed his left arm, the same arm he held his spear in. Then with his elbow he literally snapped his forearm right off, thus it fell to the ground uselessly.

This time Samuel screamed in agony, but it didn't last long as Juda grabbed his skull and smashed his face into the dirt. Following up on his attack Juda slammed his foot onto his back, and I winced as I heard a crack. But my eyes widened as my brother lifted his foot again, and made wind surround it. With that he slammed it back down on Samuel, creating an enormous crater which Saji scrambled away from.

Eventually my brother took a deep breath, and jumped out of the crater as I walked up to it. However I couldn't help but scowl as Samuel slowly got up, although I could see that his metal skeleton was barely holding itself together. Pieces of metal bone were falling off and he only had holes in his skull.

But what he said next did amuse me. "It would seem as if I learneded a valuable lesson!" He was speaking deliriously with his right index finger held up as if to make a point. "Never… ever… ever… hurt and or threaten a dragon's younger sister. It will only end badly for you! Hahaha…. haha… ha… screw this crap I'm out." Out of his ruined pocket he got out a familiar white orb and threw it at his feet. Like before there was a bright light and then he was gone.

But I couldn't help but feel rather disappointed. After all my brother dealt with him with absolute ease. In the end I sighed and leaned into my brother as Saji approached us. He seemed confused and annoyed, mostly annoyed actually.

"So… where's everyone else? I see Kiba over there fighting that Valper guy, but Issei and Chris are nowhere to be seen. Also… who's idea was it to just leave me in rubble?!" I would've honestly answered him with an I don't know. But a "six" winged fallen tossed a light spear at us and we had to dodge.

Turning to him after tossing a sword at the fallen I spoke. "Sorry but we don't have much time to answer your questions. We'll do so after this whole thing is over." Again he looked extremely annoyed but he nodded his head. That's when we felt a strange spike in power; truly it felt both holy and demonic. Following the feeling we saw Kiba holding onto a new sword. One side was black, and the other was white. The handle and guard were also wrapped in gold wiring.

Just what is that thing?

The Black Dragon The White Cat

The Red Dragon (Five minutes earlier)

This entire situation is just plain horrible! I blame you little bro! With that thought I twirled my spear around and stabbed another fallen. Pulling it out, I stabbed another as the one from before tuned to ashes. Again I pulled it out and looked at the others trying to get the drop on me. Although this time I saw a few of them look quite hesitant to attack me. It's about time! I've been killing dozens of them and their friends! Hmm… maybe they need a bit of… incentive.~

I couldn't help but smirk evilly at that thought. "You know if you want to live I suggest running, because trust me that although death is instant. You will feel unimaginable pain in that instant. After all… you are being burned from the inside out. Really I can only imagine how painful that is." That got a bunch of them to back off and fly away in fear; however some had stayed with grim expressions.

Huh, I guess these guys are the religious zealots of the group. Despite that thought I didn't really care and just charged through them, stabbing, slicing, and hacking away at them. Really it was a pretty big and bloody mess that I created. Limbs were everywhere and ashes flew off into the wind. At last I had a small breather and looked around.

I could see that Rias, Akeno, and Ravel were doing fine although they seemed to be tiring. Keno seemed to have that Samuel skeleton guy under control. Juda was just a whirlwind of death. No really… he was literally making a whirlwind of razor sharp winds around him. I also saw Milly doing just fine much to my relief, although she wasn't killing anyone. Finally there was Kiba, Xenovia, and Irina who were attacking that Valper guy. However the way Kiba was going about it made me worry about him.

It looks as if he's letting his anger get the best of him. That's no way to fight, especially a guy like that. In light of those thoughts I sighed before making my way over to them. I guess that I might as well lend them a hand. But what's that sword Xenovia's using?

In her hands was a sword different from the one Chris gave her. Although I say sword… it kind of looked like half of a scissor blade. The back of the blade was dark blue and the guard was gold in color along with the blade. The handle though was black. The blade ended in a thin tip, but had a large rounded area near the handle followed by a triangular point. I eventually concluded that this was Durandal, but Valper seemed to not care about it or him as we've learned.

Once I was a few feet behind them Kiba charged forward only to be knocked back. Valper had raised his hand and sent a wave of pure force at him. It wasn't anything special though, he was just using raw energy as an attack. Luckily I was able to stretch out my right arm and catch Kiba. He blinked for a couple of seconds before looking up at me.

"Oh Ulysses, thank you for that youthful rescue." My eyes twitched and I pulled my arm back dropping him on his back. "Ow…" Shaking my head I turned back to Valper who was smiling.

"So a dragon god comes to grace me with his presence. I must admit I am grateful, after all I can only have so much entertainment from children." At his words Xenovia growled while Irina frowned, Kiba on the other hand just got up and glared at him. "Such hateful gazes, now what have I done to make all of you so angry?"

Kiba was the first to respond. "What you've done… What you've done?! You ask that yet you're the one who killed all my friends during your sick and un-youthful experiments!"

Valper scoffed before retorting. "Sick and… wait un-youthful?" He seemed genuinely confused by Kiba's statement. Eventually he looked at Xenovia and Irina who shook their heads.

When he looked at me I just shrugged as he continued. "Ignoring that statement… I will say that for my goal there was nothing that I wouldn't no… couldn't do. Though now I understand why you seem so familiar. What an amusing scenario, a survivor of my old work becomes a devil. Ironic since I was trying to get you all to the point where you could use a holy sword. Still my work was completed, and I found a way to let others use such weapons. But now I've gone beyond that! Behold the first holy sword created by man!"

Holding out both hands light shown from them making us look away. When it finally died down we all looked to see Valper holding a sword. It was a long two edged sword colored snow white. The handle was eight inches long and was wrapped in black leather, although a silver metal ring divided it in the middle. The pummel was a silver circle with a star in the center on both sides. Finally the guard was five inches across and rounded towards the users hands.

I could personally tell that while it wasn't as strong as Suki, the sword was still powerful. Although for some reason I could feel an air of depression from it. While whether the others noticed it I had no idea. But as Valper brandished it about I could see space rippling a bit as it moved. In that moment I understood how he created it.

It must've been a combination of his holy sword research, and Cassandra's pyramid "gift" research that created that thing. Taking a deep breath I raised my spear and waited as he continued talking.

"So… how do you like it? This beauty is called Ex-requiem, a sword which can cut through space and redirect magic. Sure it's not as strong as Caliburn or the original Excalibur, but he'll do for now, after all I haven't completed my research yet. For that I need the edged enchanter and Excalibur, or a sword of equal power." He then looked at Kiba with a smirk. "I need to thank you for your help, without you and the other children I would've never have made it this far."

As Kiba glared at him in disgust and hate Valper dug around in his robe. Eventually he produced a strange golden crystal shard. For a while Valper looked at it critically before sighing in boredom. He then tossed it at Kiba before speaking again.

"Here you can have what's left of your friends; I don't need their holy essence anymore. I've gotten everything I need from them." The shard landed at Kiba's feet and he picked it up hesitantly. He was shaking a bit in sorrow. But that was when something unexpected happen, the shard started glowing. And before we knew it Kiba was surrounded by what seemed like ghosts.

Ah man… I hate ghosts! What give me a break! Everyone has something in which they're afraid of, ghosts just happen to be mine. Funnily enough Christopher could summon spirits if he really wanted to…

"My friends… how're you still here?" Breaking my thoughts was Kiba who seemed on the verge of crying. Not that I cared, because I ended up turning to Valper trying to not look at the ghost kids. Still he also looked quite confused by the sudden intervention.

"How odd… their spirits must've still been within the crystal, or at least their consciousness. No matter I'll deal with him later, for now I'll just take care of you!" Growling I held up my spear as he literally disappeared, however with years of finely honed instincts I turned my spear to my left side. On my face a smile then formed as Valper appeared with a look of shock. His sword being held off by the middle of my spear. "How? There's no way that you could've tracked me in subspace!"

Grinning I forced him back with ease making him fall to the ground. "Simple really… I just have more experience in battle then you do. Plus I don't think your sword likes you very much. Ah well I suppose I can… what's that feeling?" In confusion I turned back to Kiba as he seemed to absorb a bright golden light. At that I couldn't help but blink as he called something out.

"Balance breaker sword of the betrayer!" At his words a new sword appeared in his hands, one side was white the other was black. As we were distracted Valper got up, but he didn't do anything.

No instead he was only looking at Kiba's sword. "Well I'll be… I guess with his death such things really are possible." I couldn't help but wince at his words as Xenovia rounded on him. Her question was quite predictable; unfortunately everyone else just had to show up at the same time.

So everyone heard her question. "What do you mean by that? Who's dead? And what things are possible?" I looked at Juda, Lance, and Keno who seemed to have a few holes in her dress. Their faces mirrored mine, as in we had that oh crap kind of face on. Even Sera, who had come out to help, looked rather apprehensive.

Especially since Valper seemed only too happy to answer. "Oh? You don't know yet? I thought that you would've been told by now, after all the dragon gods all know about it." Everyone turned to us and I couldn't help but look away as Valper continued. "I see that they haven't told you yet. Still I thought you'd be able to figure it out, after all holy and demonic energies shouldn't be able to combine. Yet… look at your friend's sword."

Rias snapped at him for his cryptic words. "Just tell us already! There's no point trying to escape anymore, so you might as well say your final words." Valper only looked at her viciously before nodding his head.

"Very well I'll tell you… you see during the Great War. Not only did the original Maou's and most of the fallen leaders die, but so did the god of the bible." There was a pregnant pause, as my face puckered up as if I swallowed a lemon.

Eventually Irina spoke up, although her voice was small. "That's… that's not possible! You're lying you have to be!" He only laughed at her words before speaking again.

"Then why don't you ask the dragons as to whether or not I'm lying? I'm sure you'll get it straight from them now." As one they turned on me but before they could ask me anything I heard a small voice from behind me.

"Is that true? Is god really dead Ulysses?" Looking behind me I saw Asia close to tears. And let me tell you… it made me feel absolutely horrible! Really you try and feel any different at seeing such an innocent and cute girl crying like that! In the end I sighed while placing my hand on her head, before turning back to the others.

I had decided to tell it to them straight. "Yes… he is indeed no longer with us. But that doesn't mean he's completely gone, as long as you believe in his teachings then he'll always be with you. Plus you can always switch over to me!~" At my words everyone looked at me blankly before Xenovia spoke up.

"I'd rather pray to the black dragon then you. At least he isn't an idiotic pervert." At her words I felt a little piece of my soul break off. But it was nothing compared to what Asia said.

"I have to agree with Xenovia San on this one." After that everyone nodded in agreement and I felt as if I died inside. Although I was happy that my words saved most of them from depression, at least for the moment. When things calmed down I had no doubt that they'd start wondering what to do now. At least those who actually prayed to him, as in not the devils. After all it didn't really matter to them if he was dead. That's when I noticed Valper get out another white orb.

No you don't! With that thought I tossed my spear at his hand, it cut it clean off and he screamed in pain. But he didn't turn to ashes since I didn't want to kill him. Thankfully that got everyone's attention back on him. Although he was now snarling in anger, I also noticed that his wings were falling apart. But that didn't stop Kiba from walking over to him and raising his new sword.

"I now won't do this for revenge; instead I'm doing this so that no one else will die by your un-youthful hands!" He then brought his sword down and cut Valper open. The old man spit out some blood, and dropped Requiem whom seemed a bit happy now. His body convulsed for a second before becoming still. After which Kiba sighed before dismissing his sword and turned to Rias.

"Buchou I am so sorry for how I've acted. But now I'm ready to once again pledge myself to you." He then bowed his head and Rias went up to him and hugged him.

"All is forgiven I'm just glad you're back safe, you even have a balance breaker now! Just what I expected from my knight, however…" She then pulled back and smiled at him sweetly, but there was an aura of malice around her that made him sweat. "Don't you ever do this again! Also don't think that you won't be punished for this later, but for now we need to get moving." Kiba nodded his head fearfully and Rias patted his cheek before walking away from him.

She really is getting better at her killing intent. With that thought I turned to look around and saw Irina looking at Requiem. After a bit she picked it up and took a small swing with it. She then smiled before putting her forehead against it, and though it was quiet I was able to hear what she said.

"I accept you as you accept me, for now on I will wield you." She then pulled back, and took another swing and a strange cut was made in thin air. This cut then opened wide and we all stared at it before she turned to us. "Alright everyone our next destination is through here!~ Come on we need to go help out the others." At that point I didn't really care anymore and walked through it. Eventually I was followed, and we all suddenly appeared in a new place.

Blinking I looked around and eventually saw a few things which made my blood boil. One was a black dragon that seemed unconscious, another was a heavily bleeding Glacial, the third was Koneko who was also bleeding terribly, I also saw a knocked out Issei, but the worse was when I saw Cassandra attacking Ophis. But what's more was that my little girl was bleeding from a long gash on her right arm.

"Hold it right there!" With those words my younger sister turned to me and I saw her eyes. In that moment I found out an ugly truth. "You're not Cass…" She only smiled at me with her new eyes and charged at me while licking her lips.

The Black Dragon The White Cat

Let me tell you… if it wasn't for the fact that I just happened to have my spear in front of me. Then most likely the one impersonating my sister would've run me through with her saber. Still the strike I blocked with it sent me flying back. It was just that strong and it really worried me. But I knew I had to hold her off for a bit, looking behind her as she ran at me again I saw Juda heal Glacial.

Unfortunately she stayed unconscious but Keno ran over to her as he ran to Koneko. Taking my eyes off them, I turned back to the person currently trying to eviscerate me. Twirling my spear I struck at her when she was close enough. She blocked me easily and that's when Ophis spoke to me.

"Dad! She isn't Cassandra! She's actually Lavos! Please be careful!" As I held her back I couldn't help but let my eyes widen at what my daughter said. I just couldn't believe it, after all right in front of me was the being that defeated that original dragon.

Apparently my expression amused the alien as she spoke. "You should be careful not to let your eyes widen too much. They could pop right out of your skull!" She then pushed me back with pure strength before pointing her left palm at me. "Take this! Photon cannon!" It was a new spell that I knew she created, so I decided not to take any chances and jump out of the way.

Just in time to as a large white sphere launched from her hand and missed me by an inch. However I couldn't help but watch as it flew into a forest. After a few moments it hit a tree and went off like a warhead. For a moment there was a bright light making me look away, but when it toned down I looked back… there was no forest left.

"Uh… did you have to make it that powerful? Because I'm pretty sure the authorities will come to investigate that soon."

Lavos seemed to shrug uncaringly before answering me. "Does that really matter? I plan on devouring this world, so a few civilian casualties really don't matter to me." Funnily enough I couldn't really fault her with that kind of logic. But before I could come up with something else to say, Lavos seemed to look behind me before grinning viciously.

"Well if it isn't my little wayward dark angel. Interesting costume you have on, it'll definitely come in handy as I give you your next punishment. Though this time… I will kill you for your treachery." Looking behind me I saw Sera shaking like a leaf in absolute fear, strangely enough Keno was hugging her protectively. Keno's face on the other hand had a look of pure hate. This reminded me that I would have to ask Ophis what she knew about this. But first I had to deal with Lavos, though I had no idea how I would do that.

It's lucky for me that she seems fairly weakened right now. No doubt she's weakened without her original body, along with whatever Chris did to weaken her further. I got to make this count! With that thought in mind I tore off my own crystal and crushed it. As I did so I could feel my body warping until I was in my dragon form again. At my size Lavos laughed.

"You really are tiny! Haha! This is so funny! Compared to the other giant dragons you're like a midget! HAHAA!" At her taunting I just looked at her as blankly as I could. Eventually I started laughing as well confusing her. "What are you laughing about tiny dragon?!"

Stopping I shook my head before answering. "It would seem as if we're not the only ones with missing memories. Seriously did you really forget about what I can do? If so let me remind you!" With that I tossed my spear away, making it vanish before taking in a deep breath. What happened next shocked literally everyone but those who knew before hand. This only included Ophis, Juda, Milly, and Keno.

I exhaled while thrusting out my chest, which expanded to five times its previous size. Next were my legs which increased in the same way, followed by my arms. However my head only became three times bigger, but I grew large bat like wings on my back while my tail became five times longer. With my transformation complete I roared. This got everyone to cover their ears as I stooped low over Lavos.

She only blinked before speaking again. "I can't believe I forgot about that… but you know with hind sight-" That's when I punched her, and sent her flying back into the already ruined office building. Behind me I heard Rias speak to no one in particular.

"He really was holding back on us during training…" I couldn't help but smirk at that, but then Ophis said something that chipped at my soul.

"Meh… I think Uncle Chris looks cooler even if he's unconscious over there." I then heard Milly, Asia, Keno, Suki (Who was helping Koneko out), Ravel, Sera, and even Xenovia give answers of agreement. At that… I felt even more of myself die inside. Thankfully I didn't have to dwell on my misery for long, as the rest of the building exploded. Then out walked Lavos, and although her clothes were damaged she seemed just fine.

Looking at us she grinned evilly. "It would seem as if I've underestimated you. I thought you'd be as weak as the blue dragon, I guess I was-" She was cut off as Juda slammed his leg into Lavos' face sending her flying once more.

It would seem as if Juda had finished healing everybody. Juda wiped his hands of imaginary dust before turning to me.

"So… gas and fire combination?" I couldn't help but grin at that before giving my answer.

"Sure, but you lead after all, my own place isn't good for this sort of thing." Juda grinned maliciously before he spoke to the others. "Okay you all just sit tight here; we'll take care of this world devouring alien ourselves."

Rias spoke up at that point. "World devouring what now?!" Before I could answer her Lavos had gotten up and had fired a photon ray at me. However despite my new size I dodged the attack with ease. That's when I looked at Juda and he nodded at me, before taking off his own green crystal and crushing it. There was a distortion around him as he transformed.

Behind me I could hear Keno speaking in embarrassment. "Why does he have to look like a toad?! Even Glacial looks cooler than that!" I couldn't help but mentally agree as I saw Juda's giant eye twitch. Eventually we did get back on track and look back at Lavos who seemed to be smirking.

"Is this really your best idea? Sorry but you can-" I didn't let her finish as I used my wings to launch myself at her. Her eyes widened as I punched down at her, but she was too quick and I missed making a large crater in the ground. However that was the idea as Juda came in from behind her. But instead of attacking he clapped his long fingered hands together.

"Green Field!" With that he took both me and Lavos into his little world. Once there I looked around and grinned, all around us were tall trees and grassy areas. Really it looked like a large jungle, and it was but Juda could control all the plants here to attack his opponents. Plus quite a few of them were highly poisonous. So with a chuckle I turned back to Lavos who stood up and brushed off her dress.

After that she let out a breath before speaking. "So this is your best idea? Sorry but it'll take more than this to defeat me." I couldn't help but shake my head at her ignorance before turning to Juda.

"So are you ready for this?" Juda gave me a toothy grin before nodding his head. With that we both faced forward and Juda breathed out a green cloud of gas. Lavos must've known that it was poisonous because she quickly backed off. But not quick enough as I breathed fire into the cloud as me and Juda jumped back. At that point Lavos' eyes widened as the whole cloud of gas exploded.

This not only burned our opponent but sent her flying through a few trees. Knowing that she wasn't finished yet we didn't let up on the world eater. Slamming his long webbed fingers onto the ground, Juda summoned forth dozens of vines from the jungle floor. As he did so I created enough fire balls to match them as gas leaked from them. Then as one he sent them forward as I used the fire balls to light them on fire.

Standing up Lavos saw them coming and gritted her teeth, and she answered our attack with multiple small meteors. But our combined attack broke right through them forcing her to dodge and cut them up. However we never let up and just created more flaming vines, all the while we were preparing two other spells. We wanted to finish her off before she could transform. For we knew if she did that it'd be over for us.

However as she quickly started cutting her way back to us through our attack… I knew I'd have to switch tactics. So I used a spell which I'd been hoping to not use.

"Summon Gregor!" As I said that a small circle of light appeared on the ground and out popped my cricket Gregor (J/N Bet you all forgot about him didn't you?). At that point Juda looked at him along with Lavos. Gregor however just rubbed his legs together as I smiled widely.

Eventually Lavos spoke up. "What… In the hell… is this? Why did you just summon a tiny insect?" I didn't answer instead I looked down at Gregor.

"Okay buddy I need you to distract Lavos over there for a bit. But when I give the signal end the summoning and go back home." Gregor rubbed his legs for yes and started hopping towards Lavos.

Next to me Juda questioned me. "I have to agree with the alien just what are you… is he growing?" My smile widened as Gregor started increasing in size. By the time he was three feet away from Lavos he was two thirds my own size. Lavos just looked up at him in shock, especially when Gregor jumped. Eventually he became a speck in the sky as I just watched preparing my spell. But when he came down, he came down with the force of a ballistic missile.

Lavos managed to get out of the way, but the force of the explosion sent her through another couple of tress. That' when I turned to Juda and spoke smugly.

"And you always wondered why I chose a cricket as my familiar." He only gave me a bored look before turning forward as we watched Gregor fight Lavos. He was doing very well to as he seemed to zip around her, while trying to head but her or stomp on her.

I promise to give you all the ants you want after this my insectoid friend! (S/N fun fact Crickets and Grasshoppers do indeed eat ants.) As soon as I thought that Lavos seemed to have had enough, and sent out a wave of energy. This knocked me and Juda back a bit, but sent Gregor flying high into the sky seeing how he was jumping on her. Seeing in mid-air Lavos smirked and fired a large photon beam at him.

The attack was like the photon ray, only much bigger and it was a continuous stream. However before it could hit, Gregor let out his wings and flew out of the way. Lavos ended the attack, and moved as my familiar came crashing down on her position. That's when I saw her reach for her white crystal. I knew I couldn't let her transform. But luckily we had finished our preparations. So with a mental command I told Gregor to leave the area.

As soon as he did so Lavos looked back at us confused as we pointed our paws at her. I only smirked evilly, as red and green lights appeared between both of our respective hands. Her eyes widened in recognition but it was too late. As one we called out our most powerful spells.

"Omega Red!"

"Omega Green!" Instantly she was wrapped up in red flames and a ball of wind surrounded her. But as the winds closed in on her, the flames exploded igniting the green wind making it implode and then explode once more. You see we knew that neither one of us could ever beat Cassandra on our own. So we worked together to create that combination spell. Now while it looked small and weak, what it did to the body was anything but.

Still it had drained us almost completely, seeing how we put everything we had into those spells. But I was confident that it was enough to beat her. And I couldn't help but smile when I saw her body gone when the smoke cleared. The only thing remaining were burnt pieces of cloth and ashes

"And that's that… finally we can take a long nice vacation without looking over our shoulders." Juda chuckled but nodded his head in agreement.

Turning to me he spoke with happily. "It really is about time isn't it? Still where in the hell did you find that cricket anyway?!" I only smirked at him not answering his question, after all it wouldn't do well to let out my secrets right?

"Was that really all you two had?" We both froze at that voice before turning around. We saw Lavos standing there, although she barely had any clothing left on her. Thus she was showing off quite a bit of skin, but I swear I wasn't staring! After all she was using my little sister's body; even I'm not that bad! Still she must've noticed our looks and looked down while eventually sighing.

"Thanks… this was one of my favorite dresses; really I hope you know that I do indeed like making this body look cute? Still I better get dressed into more proper clothes." As soon as she said that a bright light encompassed her, and she was now wearing new clothes. It was a black sleeveless dress in Lolita fashion. The dress had two wide frilly straps going over her shoulders, and it also had a large bow right in front of her chest. It also had two long black silk gloves that reached passed her elbows.

The top part of the dress was also like a corset and the skirt stopped above her knees. The hem of the skirt was also frilly and she wore short high heeled boots. She was also wearing black fishnet tights, and finally over it all was a white hoodless coat that hugged her body nicely. However seeing it only made me angry, because it was the same coat my mother made for Cassandra.

But before I could do anything or even say anything, she was in front of me at eye level. I also felt a huge amount of pain from my chest, looking down I saw a huge gash along my chest. My eyes widened as blood squirted out of the wound and I fell forward.

"Ulysses!" In anger Juda attacked Lavos, but again she disappeared and appeared on his back. Now seeing her move I knew that she was manipulating space to teleport. I also knew she used this same method to avoid our ultimate attack.

I was an idiot… With that thought I turned back into my mini form again, as Lavos stabbed down with her sword. I then saw her channel lightning down into her blade. Juda roared in pain before falling onto his front. He lost control of the field spell and the world around us disappeared as it ended. Now back in the real world Lavos jumped off of my friend as he turned back into a human.

He was twitching in pain and blood flowed from the wound on his back. But before he could heal himself Lavos kicked his head, knocking him onto his back as well as unconscious.

"JUDA!" Yelling out her brother's name was Keno who then rushed Lavos. However as she slashed down with a black katana Lavos took a swing at her. Keno's sword broke and she stumbled behind our enemy. "No…" As that word was spoken blood exploded out of her front and she fell forward, first onto her knees than her face. With that the others started attacking.

"No! Stay back!" But my warning was ignored as everyone was cut down with ease. In the end the only ones standing were Asia, Ophis, and Sera. All were trembling like leaves, but Sera was the first to step forward while speaking to the ones behind her.

"Please run away Lady Asia and Ophis please run, at least that way two of us will live." They naturally protested at this but Sera yelled at them as she got out her claws. "We don't have time to argue! This has turned out to be a disaster; at the very least I want two of my new friends to live." She then charged Lavos as the other two yelled at her to stop. However this time Lavos actually dodged Sera's attacks, but I knew she was just playing with her.

I got to get up! Coughing out blood I started spamming my tablet spell, despite knowing that it was bad for my overall health. Looking back up I saw Sera take another swing at Lavos, but her enemy swung her sword destroying Sera's claws. However Sera was just fine as she landed behind Lavos. Moving fast she pointed her left arm at her enemy, while she braced it with her right.

At that point she fired off a small black and white orb at Lavos. It exploded on contact, but before the smoke could even clear Lavos zipped out of it and move behind Sera. Then with her right hand she made a claw and stabbed it into our dark angels back. Sera screamed in pain and Lavos seemed to lift her up the smaller girl by her spine. That's when Lavos put a hand on her abdomen with a smirk on her face.

"I told you you'd die a painful death for betraying me." Sera's eyes widened as Lavos' hand became covered in electricity, and began to shock her. I even saw some coming from the hand that was holding onto her spine. Having seen enough Ophis was about to charge forward when something happened. A scythe blade appeared in front of Lavos' neck and was pulled back.

This forced her to duck and let go of Sera who fell unconscious towards the ground. Although there were terrible burns on her front and back now. But I couldn't have been more happy as I saw my little brother catch her, and lay her down gently before using a healing spell. However it was different than nostrum, no for some reason it reversed all the damage done to Sera, including to her clothes.

I was about to ask him what that was when I noticed something off. His aura… it was surrounding him in a thick, heavy, and dark mass. I had only seen him like this once… when Reaper took over his instincts and emotions. However before I could say anything to him, to try and snap him out of it he attacked Lavos.

The Black Dragon The White Cat

The White Cat

When I came to I saw Suki over me looking forward in absolute fear. Following her gaze I saw my mate fighting Lavos, who still possessed his sister's body. Although her outfit was different, but I had no idea why but I decided it didn't matter much. At least until I saw everyone else in critical condition. Although Sera, Asia, and Ophis seemed to be in the best condition, even if Sera was unconscious. Groaning I sat up and Suki turned to me before throwing herself onto me. I winced but bared it and hugged her as she cried.

But when she spoke I became quite worried. "Mama… everyone… they were beaten so easily! I-I was useless! I'm sorry; I'm so sorry Mew…" At her words I just gently rubbed her head before looking back at the others; currently Ophis was using her snakes to pick everyone up gently. Once they were safe Asia started healing them. Knowing that they'd be fine after a bit I turned back to Suki.

"What exactly happened sweetie? And why did you just say mew Nyah?" Looking up at me, she wiped her eyes before telling me how the others came here to help.

But when she explained the mew thing I only giggled a bit. "As for my new verbal tick… me and Fuyo Chan decided we didn't want to just copy you. So we decided on new words like Mew for me and mya for her. But this isn't really the time for that Mew! Papa has lost control of himself to Reaper!" I couldn't help but let my eyes widen as I turned back to my mate, this time he was facing me and I could see his face.

He had a sadistic smile on his face and he seemed to not even care about any injuries he had. Which mind you were few, but his laugh and smile were just wrong. They didn't belong on my Chri Kun's face. He also seemed to be moving sluggishly and much slower than usual. Instead all he had was brute force, and I knew that wasn't the way he liked to fight.

Over to the side I saw some movement and I saw Ulysses trying to get up. He was in his dragon form, but with the amount of blood around him I doubted he could do anything.

It's up to me then. Looking back at the fight, I thought I was too late as Lavos swung her sword at him. The attack connected onto his side but for some reason it didn't cut him and he spoke.

But along with his laugh and smile it sounded wrong. [Sorry!~ But you can't hurt me like that anymore. Now let's see how you like it wench!] Grabbing Lavos' sword he slashed at her with his scythe. It connected and it cut right through her, blood gushed from the wound as her face contorted in pain. However I had to give her props for kicking my mate in order to get away.

Landing on one knee I saw a white light encompass her and the wound healed itself. But she was now breathing heavily and looking at him with wild eyes. His eyes only glowed bright red as the dark in them became darker. They scared me and I didn't know what to do.

[Aww… what's wrong? Didn't you want to eat me? Come here and take a bite then!] At his words I trembled in fear as Lavos yelled out in rage and attacked him, this time the flurry of blades was so quick that I couldn't follow the fight anymore. But I was able to catch glimpses of the fight when their weapons were locked. Or when Lavos made contact with her sword. But like before none of her attacks actually hurt him, this only made her anger grow.

Eventually they backed up and she questioned him. "Just what is going on with your body?! I can't cut it, in fact there was a point from before that I couldn't do it either. Just what are you doing?!" Chris… no Reaper chuckled before answering her.

[That's quite simple… before was just a complete accident, a bit of instinctual protection after I became one with Fernus.] Though that shocked me I kept paying attention as he tapped his head and continued. [It's all in here now, the only thing missing are my instincts of domination. Really now right now I'm a bit out of whack but once me and Christopher are truly one we'll be invincible. But to answer your original question, it's quite simple just a bit of time manipulation. All I do is freeze time on the area of my body which you hit, therefore you can't cut me.]

Lavos growled before speaking up. "I see… so you can control more than just gravity with your time manipulation. I also bet that your new healing abilities are time based?" Reaper nodded before slinging his scythe over his shoulder.

[That's right Alien bitch, but there's more to it than that. You also forget I to have some spacial abilities. And unlike you who only uses abilities which you can remember, I have experimented with my own. Not just with my magic power.] Lavos growled at his words but didn't refute them, and I admit that kind of gave me hope. But when Lavos started laughing I couldn't help but become fearful again.

Apparently Reaper didn't find her laughing amusing and charged at her again. Thus began their deadly dance once more, but no matter how many times he cut her. Lavos kept on laughing. It really annoyed him as his attacks became more brutal. But then Lavos did something which I didn't expect. She thrusted her saber forward in mid-air.

The blade disappeared and Reaper froze with a look of pain. He then fell to his knees and spat out blood, while Lavos pulled on her sword. But when the blade reappeared there was now blood on it.

"How did she do that?" Looking down at Suki I saw her watching in horror, frowning I rubbed her ears and stood up. "Mama? What are you going to do?" Still frowning I balled my hands into tight fists, as I watched Lavos and Reaper start fighting again. Only this time both were wounding each other, but Reaper seemed to be taking the most damage now. He was tiring and I could see pieces of my mate slipping through again.

After looking for a few seconds I answered Suki. "I'm going to try and do what I can. Can I ask you for your help?" Suki smiled before turning into back into a knife and I grabbed her. Looking forward I took a deep breath before closing my eye, and thinking back to what Juda Sensei said. With natures permission you can do much more than you have ever dreamed of. With that in mind I tried to connect to nature.

Come on… please just answer my pleas this once! Not a moment after I felt a gentle nudge in my mind, and suddenly things became clearer. Taking that as my cue I started taking in the energy of the world. I let it flow freely in me instead of trying to force it to do something. Though it was my first time I felt… complete in some way.

So with a smile I opened my eyes, and this time I could see Lavos' attack as she fought Reaper. However as I looked at Reaper I saw something different, I knew it still wasn't my Chri Kun. But I could tell now that it was my mate, even if he was more violent and bloodthirsty. But I knew how to help him as he continued his attacks, and as blood continued to splatter across the ground I saw what Lavos was doing as well.

She was slashing her sword through a subspace attacking Chris from the inside out. Though I didn't understand why he didn't just use his time ability, on his inner organs as well. After all that'd stop her attacks in her tracks, but knowing that I had to do something I ran forward. Eventually I got in-between them and used Suki to block Lavos' saber while putting my left hand on Chris' chest.

[Shirone… what are you…] Smiling I closed my eye again and focused, there was a bright light and when I opened my eye again I was in some underground area. It was actually rather scenic too, especially with the open whole in the ceiling showing off the sky. But as I look around I saw two black dragons, one was the same as what I saw before. The other was almost identical; except its eyes were pure black and his wing membranes were red.

The one with the black eyes was currently biting the neck of the other while it stood on him. As I walked forward I felt someone take hold of my hand, and though I didn't look I knew that it was Suki.

After all she's the only other person who could join me here. Eventually the two of us were in front of the dragons and they looked at us. The one on top upon seeing us let go and jumped off with a grin.

[Well if it isn't our little goddess, come to pick me over this loser?] The other rubbed his injured neck before speaking.

"I doubt that's why she's here Reaper, but that doesn't mean I'm not curious as well. Oh hello to you to Suki." Chris then cracked his neck, but before he could say anything else. I jumped up and kicked him in the face. Reaper laughed at his predicament but stopped when I kicked him as well. Both fell over and looked at me in shock.

But before they could speak I slammed my foot down and yelled at them. "Stop fighting you two! If you both keep this up that Lavos or whatever she is now will kill you both!"

Reaper scoffed at me before speaking. [This fight would be over if this moron would just let me rip her to shreds!] Christopher growled before retorting.

"Oh really? And who's moving slow? Who's being sluggish and letting her just hit us? Sure our defense is great, but we can't freeze our organs in time! That'd kill us! Really if you just let me use my own skill to beat her we'd be done with this by now!" At his words Reaper leapt at him while Christopher backed up. Getting angry I held out both my hands and hit them both with a sonic buster.

"[Ow]" Shaking my head at their double response I spoke to them again.

"This has been going on long enough! Both of you need to get your acts together you hear me?!"

Both shivered before answering me in unison. "[Yes Ma'am]" I couldn't help but smile at that. Because it meant that they knew who was in charge. But at least I knew why he didn't just make his organs invulnerable. But I still wasn't sure how it'd kill them; however I was sure that it would make sense if I heard the why. Unfortunately I couldn't sate my curiosity about that at the moment.

So with a sigh I continued while making myself as sad looking as possible. "Please you two… I saw when I used my senjutsu what's really going on. Reaper you are indeed Chri Kun, only his repressed feelings of anger from when he was put under suspicion. In order to show that he wasn't what the others thought he was, he repressed those feelings. So in fact there is nothing wrong about you, he just needs to accept you. But you also need to not try and force yourself on him. So please just stop fighting one another!"

At my face and tone both seemed to become super guilty and looked at one another. As they did so I flashed Suki a thumbs up and a smirk. She returned them as I faced forward and adopted the same face as before. Hey don't judge me! If it works it works! But I knew it wouldn't be enough for them to truly accept each other.

So I turned to Chri Kun. "And you… you have to stop pushing away your anger and hate. It'll only make things harder for you, and I also want to see you get angry. To get mad, and to know when you're upset! That way I can help you, truly you need to accept your anger. But that doesn't mean you have to let it control you." He gritted his teeth and I knew I was close so I gave my finisher. "Please… I… I love the both of you, and you need to work together so you don't die and leave us behind."

Taking a look at me they then both looked at one another and sighed. At that point I knew I won as reached out their paws and shook them together. I couldn't help but smile as they both grinned at each other.

"Alright then… I guess we have no choice here. After all we need to keep our mate happy, and if doing this does so then we need to." Reaper chuckled before talking back to him.

[We are so whipped you know that right? Oh well at least we can keep her happy, but we still need to do the thing.] I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at that but they didn't elaborate. Although Chri Kun did nod his head in agreement. There was then a bright light forcing me to close my eye, but when I opened it again we were once again in the real world.

Although I still had a few questions. What exactly did they mean by that? And how in the name of the black dragon did I do that?! I had no idea, it was just instinctual. Unfortunately I now felt extremely exhausted, and the clarity which I had before was gone. Thankfully I now had a fully rounded and functional mate to help me, as I saw Lavos attack me.

But as I said he was fine now and he blocked her with his scythe. "Whoa there! Sorry but I can't let you hurt my mate like that Misses Alien." At his words Lavos gritted her teeth before jumping back. That's when I felt my mate hug me from behind. "Thank you Shirone… we feel… I feel so much lighter now." Smiling I snuggled into his embrace before speaking.

"You're welcome; now let's go kick some butt!" Unfortunately that's when we learned a horrifying secret. Lavos was holding back, and she showed that by releasing a whole lot of energy into the air. When I felt it I almost collapsed, it was just so heavy and evil. The power pushed down on both of us, and looking behind me I saw even Chri Kun trembling.

"I've had enough of you pathetic insects!" Looking back at her I trembled as she continued speaking. "I actually wanted to be nice and take your power when you were dead. That way you didn't feel such pain, after all you were always cute even back in the other world. I liked you, but now I just want to see you gone!"

At that moment we couldn't do anything as she gripped her crystal and crushed it. But what she turned into wasn't what I was expecting; her dragon form had no white in it. Instead her orange red scales glistened like flames and she roared at us. Moving as fast as he could my mate tried to use his own crystal. But Lavos got in front of us in an instant and swung her left paw at us. At that point I couldn't move, but Chri Kun pulled me into him and turned his own back to Lavos' attack.

It hit him and me sending us flying, but although could feel my bones crack I knew that Chri Kun absorbed most of the damage. But as we stopped sliding across the ground he coughed out some blood and groaned in pain. Sitting up I also winced in pain, but I saw Lavos already on us and she pointed her pointer claw at us. Or more specifically Christopher. She then thrusted it forward as a fiery glow surrounded it. At that point I didn't know what I was doing, but I knew if that hit Christopher he'd die.

So with the last of my strength I jumped up and took the hit. At my actions Lavos' eyes widen as she impaled me, however I couldn't even feel the pain. No blood just dripped from the sides of her claw.

"No! You ruined the spell!" I didn't even know what she was talking about but I just smirked as blood dripped from my chin. That's when a bright light surrounded all of us and I slipped into darkness, but at least I knew that this time I was able to protect the one I love.

The Black Dragon The White Cat

The Black Dragon

Groaning I looked around only to find myself on some familiar hilltop standing in the middle of the ocean.

Where am I? This place looks so familiar…

"That's because you've been here before little brother." I froze at the voice, because it was impossible. But as I looked behind me I saw her, this time her face had a kind and gentle smile and her eyes were pure silver.

"Cassandra?" She nodded her head happily before running up to me and jumping at me. "Ahh!" Yelling in shock as she tackled me to the ground, I felt her bury her head into my chest. It was then that I knew that this was my sister, so with a smile I hugged her back. "It's good to see the real you Cass."

"What am I chopped liver?" At the sound of the second voice I sat up still hugging my sister, however I saw Altus standing with a smile. He was just the way I remembered him, with a curly neat blonde beard and short curled back blonde hair. He was also wearing wooden geta sandals along with a yellow shaolin monk outfit. But on his back was a large war hammer with a yellow head. "What's up my pupil?" At that point I thought that I was dreaming and claimed it out loud.

"Okay… this has to be a dream! You're dead!" He closed his right eye and shook his right hand a bit.

"Ehh… a bit more alive than just dead, but not for long. You see right now we're inside of what's left of Cassandra's world. Lavos has been destroying it bit by bit, and your scythe and soul stealing water didn't really help us." I couldn't help but adopt a guilty look before pushing Cassandra off me and bit, and looking at her face. Instead of happy it was now downcast and ashamed.

But before I could say anything she spoke as she cried. "I'm sorry… this is all my fault. If only I had figured out that Lavos wasn't Siena, then none of this would've happened. Now you have to fight Lavos yourself, I'm the worst older sister ever…" Adopting a frown of my own I hugged her tightly again as she cried.

"Please don't blame yourself for this, you did your best didn't you? I know that you would never do anything to hurt us, and you truly did try to protect us for as long as you could. That's why you left right?" She nodded her head but before we could talk further I heard wing beats. Looking up I saw Cassandra's white dragon descend on us. I was shocked to see it and Cass separately but I was more surprised when it spoke.

Her voice was gentle and melodic, much different than mine as a dragon. "I'm so sorry to interrupt but we must hurry with our plan, especially if we don't want Lavos to eat both his soul and his mates." My eyes widened at that and I stood up while holding Cass.

"Is something wrong with Shirone?! Please tell me! I'll rip out Lavos' soul if she dares to touch her!" At my tone everyone even Cass backed up from me a bit before speaking.

"You know… you were a whole lot sweeter when you were younger." I couldn't help but laugh sheepishly at that while she answered my question. "Truth is that Shirone was injured severely, but at the same time she interrupted Lavos' soul spell. You see this would've allowed her to pluck you soul from your body allowing her to eat it. But your wonderful girlfriend jumped in the way, making it back fire seeing how it was made for beings like us. However while you can't take her soul, you can take ours."

The dragon nodded her head before continuing where she left off. "That is true, you see while we may not hold all of our power, we can give you what we can. Though I will be your new psychedelic voice in your head as you called it."

Looking up at her I protested. "No! If I do that then all of you really will die! Please there has to be a way to actually save all of you!" At my protests Altus sighed and walked up to me, looking up at his tall form when he was near me I was going to say something. But then he punched me in the face.

"Look! We don't have much time left!" As he said that the world around us began shaking. "See! Already Lavos comes to consume what's left of us, she knows you're here but doesn't realize what we can do with you! Take what's left of us and avenge us! I taught you better than to snivel and whine as you're doing right now!"

Gritting my teeth I stood up and punched him back. "Yeah but I doubt you'd ever had to deal with something like this!" Rubbing his jaw he was about to continued yelling when Cass got between us. Then she did something quite unexpected before either one of us could say anything. She kissed me… right on the lips. At the scene both Siena and Altus let their jaws drop as I froze.

Eventually she pulled back and spoke to me calmly. "Listen I know how you must feel, and although I can't fully understand what you're feeling. But you must understand, that even if we're gone we'll still be with you. We are always connected; our souls are connected so please save what's left of us. I know you can pull through this my beloved little brother."

That's when I spoke still in shock. "You kissed me… on the lips… I have a girlfriend you know?! Plus you're my sister why did you do that?!" Looking at me with a mischievous smile saw shrugged while my left eye twitched.

"What can I say… I've never kissed someone and this was my last chance, and there was no way I was going to kiss captain yellow beard over there. Plus it did get you to listen to me. Although… I will say you kiss pretty good even if you're not doing anything!~" At her words Siena palmed her snout.

"In some ways I'm grateful to Lavos… at least I didn't have to deal with this nonsense as much." Next to her Altus nodded his head in agreement. Sighing I became serious again and looked at her sadly.

Eventually I went against my feelings and hugged her again. "I'll miss you sis… truly I will. But at least I now know the truth, so I'm sorry for suspecting you this whole time." She hugged me back and I felt tears run down off her cheek onto my coat. She then pulled back and took off her coat and handed it to me.

"Please… take this, I don't want Lavos to use the gift mother made me anymore." Smiling I took it but as soon as I did Cass started to literally fade. But not before kissing me again. This time I didn't know what came over me, but I kissed her back. When we broke apart she smiled. "Yep definitely a good kisser, take care of yourself and tell Ulysses I'm sorry as well as goodbye for me alright?" I nodded my head as she faded into nothingness, but now in her place was a white orb that flew into me.

I didn't fight it only accepted her power as it went inside me. That's when the world began crumbling even faster and Altus walked up to me.

"Well this is it… I'll miss you my little poker partner." I smiled and hugged him before he to faded and became a yellow orb which went inside me. Sighing in sorrow I turned to Siena who bent down to my level. Reaching up I hugged her snout out of instinct, and when we touched the world faded black. When color eventually returned I found myself in my own little world again, only this time I saw a large white dragon with me.

Smiling I spoke to her. "Well I guess we're partners now right Siena?" She nodded her head before speaking with that wonderful voice of hers again.

"Indeed but this time just call and I shall be able to help you. After all I am completely intact and I'm not a part of you. But go now… your mate is in trouble." With those words my face hardened while I got out my scythe.

"You don't have to tell me twice."

The Black Dragon The White Cat

Opening my eyes I came back to the real world once more. Looking around I saw Lavos on her side still in dragon form. However she was breathing heavily and looked in pain, I was still on the ground, but as I looked forward I saw Shirone on her face. But I was horrified to see a large hole in her chest. Suki was next to her kneeling down and crying heavily

"Shirone!" Getting up I ran over to my mate and lifted her up while placing my left hand on her neck. There wasn't any pulse. "No… No! NO!" Gritting my teeth I used my new time ability to completely reverse the damage done to her. She was in perfect condition. However her heart was still not beating, as this was happening Suki began to cry harder while tears started to form for me as well.

[Do no panic.] I was shocked to hear Siena so soon but she continued before I could snap at her. [Remember you have the power of the white element inside you. Switch to it and use the revive spell, though weakened it should work if you combine it with the mate bite.] Gritting my teeth I thought hard on that decision. Because if you remember the reason I held off on that, was because I didn't know what would happen to her.

[It's either that or you lose her completely.] Closing my eyes I thought on it a bit more and I decided that I couldn't live without her.

"Please forgive me…" I then opened my mouth and leaned down before biting her left, right where her neck connected with her shoulder. While doing so Suki gasped but I ignored her while switching over to the white element and using the spell. Now while it is called the revive spell, it doesn't necessarily revives the dead. No it works like the evil pieces, one needs to be right there at the right moment. Or else it fails so normally it would save Shirone.

However by combining it with the mating ritual I could pull her soul back to her body. So along with the spell I poured as much of my divine aura into her as possible. Eventually when I saw a dragon tattoo form from her shoulder, down to the bottom of her back I knew it worked. However that's when something unexpected happened, a rook piece popped out of her chest. It fell to the ground and Shirone started breathing again.

Sighing in relief I looked over to the piece and picked it up. I guess this was her evil piece…

"Chri Kun…" Looking down I smiled lightly while Shirone spoke to me. "What… what happened? I feel different, and everything seems clearer to me now." Smiling I hugger her to my chest before answering.

"You died… but using two things in combination with each other I brought you back. However I must say that because of it you're no longer a devil." As I pulled back I put her old rook piece into her left hand. As she brought it up to her face she frowned before speaking again.

"I see…" Looking back up to me she smiled again before speaking. "But still you saved me again… I wish that I could be the one to save you for once." I quickly shook my head before rebuffing her wish.

"You did save me… And not just me! But what was left of Cassandra and Altus. You even saved the original white dragon! You are really quite amazing Shirone, my beautiful Neko Chan."

She smiled at me and kissed me before speaking again. "I'd do anything to help you Chri Kun…" With that she fell asleep, funnily that was when Lavos stirred. Her body seemed a bit cumbersome however and I glared at her. That's when I summoned my sister's white coat and placed it over Shirone. I then turned to Suki as I stood up.

"Please watch after your mother, I'll deal with this." She nodded her head before speaking.

"You truly are the best Papa in the world you know that right Mew?" Chuckling I scratched her ears before summoning my scythe, but as I looked back at Lavos I became serious again.

As I approached her she looked at me with a snarl. "You… what did you do to me?! I can't feel all my power anymore!" My face became a vicious smile as I spoke.

"Oh you know… I just took back Altus, Siena, and my sister. Now I think it's time for you to die."

Slayer: (Gags Judan) Now, now… we don't want to give spoilers do we?

Cassandra: No we don't… but why did I kiss Chris anyways?

Slayer: It's a bit complicated… you kind of did that because a normal kiss wouldn't do because of the time you spent apart. Plus you were about to finally disappear, so you wanted to put all your feelings into it. Plus it did shut him up and made him listen.

Cassandra: Huh… I guess I can understand, still I'm gone now! Now that isn't fun at all!
