Damnit I didn't want to take this long. Last chapter got the reviews I wanted which was great. I wanted to post this last week and could have but various things happened. Shortly after I posted my last chapter I found out my cousin died. Then I also got a job like the same day. Now I have that job but this right now is also my final week of classes so I have had final projects and tests. Instead of taking another week to type out what I wasn't able to put in this chapter I decided to just post it as it is since it is already pretty long. Here you go.
Chapter 25: Some things Stay
Mundane, dull, boring, tedious, monotonous, all different words to explain the same thing to this young girl. Her lack of interest in this earthly realm and all that went around her. She preferred her own home realm in the void, the Dimensional Gap where she was born and where others like her came into being. Not a whole lot went on in that realm but it was still home and so a place she was comfortable with. Not this fruiting rock that these humans and other creatures lives on or Earth as they called it. She didn't know why her dear brother spent so much time there. He used to always tote her around which she secretly enjoyed as they visited various places. By herself she was bored and uninterested but with him things suddenly became more appealing.
But for the past few hundred years he had been roaming the human realm for whatever reason. Not like that much time matter much to someone such as herself. It wasn't like she was dependent on him or anything... He didn't express herself just like her but he got more animated in fights when he would challenge Akashi and Yaweh. She didn't care much for those things. He never really won those fights either being the youngest of those three. He didn't always lose either though. As time went on there were more and more draws though the last time he fought Yaweh he ended up losing his arm which didn't regenerate for a few years. That was basically hours to them but still.
Ophis wouldn't dare fight them however. Though she was only begrudgingly fond of her friend she wouldn't dare challenge any of them. She was currently nothing but a child to them. That was their difference in strength.
Hmm a kid. That's how she was seen and so that was the appearance she took too. Menma had taken her under his wing at one point to teach her since she was the 4th one to be born from nothing as a collection of an overabundance of energy, a dragon by definition. He taught her how to shape shift and according to him she had a real knack for it.
She had the appearance of a small girl with black wing ears and long black hair as she sat wrapped in black cloth that contrasted with her pale skin gazing off with unresponsive eyes at the colorful realm in which she receded.
She let out a sigh as a hand suddenly dropped softly on her head. She knew before the contact was even made who was now in her presence.
"Hello onii-san. You know I don't like physical contact."
"It's not that you don't like it you just aren't used to it." The girl wasn't... well techinically they were genderless but she was female 95% of the time so saying she was a girl wouldn't be wrong exactly. Anyway the girl wasn't very expressive which was understandable being born in a void from nothingness as a coalition of energy. That didn't give one much social experience nor did it make emotions necessary for survival. Since they had to learn emotions on their own Yaweh was the only one who came so far in that department. Akashi it was hard to tell since he slept a lot and was more isolated than even her and they shared the same realm, not that she was too happy about that. As such the few emotions she had small traces off that she showed were irritation and she supposed some positive emotion could be pointed towards Menma. She was indifferent to Yaweh and everything else though she held some interest in Menma's activities.
Menma was odd in the fact that he was almost as expressionless as her but he could fact a lot of emotions. Doing so developed true emotions in him such as cynicism, and escentric tendencies to where he could be mistaken for an evil individual without intending to as such he was seen as the darkest of the 3 brothers which he didn't mind.
But now that he was in her presence again something felt off about him. Something had changed. Though she wasn't looking she new he was smirking down at her showing a little of his sharp teeth. It wasn't a fake one though and it wasn't malicious either. It looked wild but the feeling of it came off as just a real smile. A real smirk on Menma. She wasn't sure how to react to that but it wasn't a bad change either. She supposed it would be interesting to see how else he changes and to find out what the cause of it was though she had some inklings as to what they may be.
"Those two seem to have kept you busy I see?"
Menma rose an eyebrow at her as she looked off at the void.
"You were watching me?"
"Not the whole time more like 60%."
'That's still a lot.' He gained a dry look that she could see before it faded.
"Well yes those 2 have proved entertaining. Gilgamesh the human god child. The divine blood coming from the mother. Of course it's probably some insignificant goddess. I gave him a gift and he definitely has a human's tenacity to survive. Too bad while his level of potential is astounding his growth rate is nothing all that special. In time he would probably be able to give me a worthy fight but by that time I would have probably given up out of boredom."
He moved around to sit in front of her so he could look at her. Both of them sat in mid air not minding the lack of land to touch down on. She look at him expressionless too which his eyes matched hers despite the smirk on his face.
"Then there is Tamano. A descendant of the feral beings I created some several centuries ago. She's a promising one showing untapped potential that that rivals if not passes the boy's but has a much faster growth rate because of the drastically shorter life span she was born with. Since I've fixed that lifespan she's reached levels of strength she normally wouldn't have lived long enough to achieve. I directly infected her with my power too which she was compatible with and has made her body much stronger fixing the lifespan issue. She's evolved ahead of her kind putting her multiple generations ahead of her breed. Any of her descendants would be naturally more powerful than their peers if she decides to have any."
She looked at him oddly, noting that his voice grew slightly more animated in that girl he spoke of.
"I think if they are your descendants they would be more powerful than their peers anyway."
Menma tilted clearly confused by what Ophis said.
"What are you talking about? You know I can't create offspring?" She stared at him critically to see if he had gotten what she was hinting to or not. She was sure he did despite his current oblivious expression. 'So he's not opposed to having hatchlings with that fox female? Or he's not opposed to having offspring period and just believes he can't? Well I don't really know either.'
"How do you know if you've never tried it?"
"I..." He closed his mouth as he was stumped. Instinctively he knew he couldn't but he wondered why he never actually tried. There would be nothing to lose if he did right so why not?
He directed his gaze back at Ophis and so very faintly the corner of her mouth twitch.
"...Hmph that mouth on you, was that possibly your take at a sense of humor? You should interact with mortals more. There is much to learn from them as they can learn from us."
"Is that why you've taken residence in the mortal realm so much lately?"
"Well maybe. All I really want was a good fight. But I wouldn't say I've hated everything else that happened either. However I have various things I have to do so I've taken leave from the presence of those two for a while. So I will be sticking around him for a bit as well as covering my bases elsewhere. You are free to join me."
- Several decades later -
His empire had grow and so had his power. It didn't matter which kingdoms went against him they all fell like the rest. His abilties had grown as well to where he could fight with his weapons orbiting him in tandem. Gilgamesh had also taken to hording the spoils of war into his treasury which he could access at any time with his power.
He walked in casual wear across the courtyards of his grand garden. His guards stood at attention for anything should the need arise for them to be of use. The lands around them may have been arid but in his personal garden it was the closest thing to his own Eden as it was full of lush vegetation of all kinds from wide reaching lands.
Tamano visited him every now and again sometimes leaving him presents. The girl was weird and it was even weirder to see her roaming about without their teacher.
"Gil-kun~!" He stumbled as someone got past his and a pair of large soft globes were pressed against the back of his head. The guards exclaimed in surprise as Gilgamesh recognized the voice and looked back.
"Minna?!" The now feminized earthbound god or rather goddess cooed as she nuzzled Gil's cheek with an over abundant amount of affection. "Aww you've gotten so big and strong! How is my precious little student doing?~" Gilgamesh enjoyed the moment for a few seconds as despite things she had been like an older sister/mother figure to him... and then he remembered who the woman really was.
He went blue in the face and shivered as he grabbed the woman from off behind him and threw her onto the ground. Her back hit the ground hard as cracks were made from the contact.
She mock moaned in pain as she laid there and he dusted himself off.
"Aww Gil-chan that's mean~."
"Do not touch me you misconstrued philanthropist!"
The girls expression dulled down as her appearance shimmered returning to the more familiar appearance of Menma. The Juubi spoke as his voice changed back to it's more masculine tone. "Well your vocabulary has definitely grown as well..."
He stood up and was suddenly flank from all sides by guards pointing their spears inches from his body. He blinked as if just noticing them in confusion.
"Intruder! How dare you lay a hand on our king! Such an action warrants death on sight!"
Menma's mouth started to twitch as he lifted his head to look at the with the pupils in his violet eyes shinking. They flinched as chills were sent down their backs at the dark presence Menma suddenly gave off. Gilgamesh sweated a little before he swiped his hand to motion at them before it was too late.
"He is an honored guest step away from him at once!" Gilgamesh shouted out to them with some panic in his voice. They did so at once to which Menma returned back to a casual demeanor. There was crinkling and they all paled when they saw the source of the sound. Their spears started to deteriorate into dust untill there was an inch left of it in front of their hands. The guards cautiously took several more steps back as fear overcame them.
Menma nodded as he looked at their reactions. "You have some obedient dogs here. Good they will live longer this way."
"Why are you here? Is this another check up?" Gilgamesh had a small look of irritation but kept it from being outright disrespectful towards the primordial being in front of him.
"Hmm yeah of course. You've made good work here. I wonder how long your kingdom will last. After all the world is a big place."
"Well I would hope it wouldn't be easy. After all this kingdom is my pride. If it wasn't strong then I would feel disgraced but if there was no one who could oppose me then I would get bored."
Gilgamesh grinned as he held out his hands to the air around him. Menma just eyed him all the while with blank eyes.
'I can understand that mentality. Seems I've had quite the impression on you. Yet I feel an increasing darkness building inside you. You can hide it as you much but I can tell you aren't as fond of my presence as when you were a child. Good. I want a worthy fight for when we battle. Hopefully my efforts are not wasted when that time comes.'
Gilgamesh looked at the Juubi strangely as he had expected a response but was only met with silence.
"What is it? You have been staring at me for a while now. Is my way of thinking unsound for you?"
Menma shrugged as he walked passed Gilgamesh to look at the rest of the garden. "I don't really care what you do or how you do it as long as you're successful."
That honestly surprised him as hearing that from Menma actually sounded like a parent... kind of. It felt nice but little did Gilgamesh know that Menma actually didn't care much at this point.
"Oh yeah that reminds me. Tamano is also building her own nation and has been for the past 20 years. Though it's much further away you may have competition seeing as it's her even though your kingdom has a decade or so head start on her."
Gilgamesh felt a silent trigger at that girl being mentioned by him. He scoffed as he turned to Menma. "Hmph I don't care about that filthy fox girl. I doubt anything she creates could ever compete with something of mine!"
Menma acted like he didn't hear him as he just continued. "Thing about her society is that its more diverse than yours. She has managed to some how have humans and beast men leaving together which they call themselves Youkai now. Even some demons and other beings have taken up residence there. This gives her nation more versatility and unpredictability than yours. The nation is located in a collection of large islands called Japan that is over in the east across the ocean. She's not a warmonger like you though so you don't have to worry about any wars breaking out between you two."
Hatred grew with every word. Yes Gilgamesh was jealous. Menma almost sounded fond when he talked about that girl. Somehow Gilgamesh failed somewhere down the line in the eyes of his teacher. He just knew it but he didn't know for the life of him as to how.
Menma glanced back discretely as he sense Gilgamesh's turmoil. 'Hmm so humans can grow to hate if emotions such as pride and jealousy are left to fester for too long? But from hate creates aggression and that is what you need to give me a good fight. Keep hating me more and more for this failed bond you wished to have but never will. Give me the end I want.'
Perhaps looking back on it he would look back on what he did and what he would do after that point as dark and evil if one day he had the emotional capacity to understand the weight of his actions. But he simply did not have that capacity at this time as he defaulted Gilgamesh as nothing but a gifted test subject.
- Another Decade -
She had a small smile on her face as she saw to her attendants around her. The nation she built prospered fast as she continued to govern it. Tamano with her power managed to split the realm of Japan in her area so that there would be a nation on the outside where only humans lived obliviously while her more diverse one was hidden inside it where humans that were suited to the supernatural would could live in peace and understanding.
She was given a job by her master and she took to it better than she expect. The environment was tranquil and exotic, perfect for her kind and was more seasonal as well which got rid of the mundanity of the more arid Mediterranean climate where Gilgamesh resided. Tamano also had a ball when it came to designing the look of her civilization. All the architecture and sloped roofs that would become one day iconic to Japan but would be seen as fantastical to the western world were all by her design.
The area she was currently in with a throne in which she sat was a grand palace dedicated to her and for her alone with numerous servants who made it their life job to serve her wishes. The thing she found funny too in contrast with how Gilgamesh rose to power is that she did not have to conquer her enemies, she hardly even needed to show her power. She guided her nation to the greatness it is now through hard work and an unsurmountable amount of effort and was dubbed their Empress out of shear respect. She took the position since it would be the best way to control everything but the pampering was definitely a bonus as well. She was seen as a goddess by many as well both for her beauty and power as she had grown well in both regards over the years. Probably also because of the way she dressed.
Her fell youkai were among her most trusted as many of them she found personally and gave them sanctuary and a new life her in her nation. She also had their loyalty for more instinct reasons as being associated with beasts they shared the survival of the fittest mentality and for those that were canine based the pack mentality and knew that even with the fact that she was female was not one to be trifled with despite how kind she was.
That's not to say there were no males that tried to get at her. There were. And she made half of them kill themselves out of shear disgrace. The other half that she actually killed became fertilizer by default as their remains were buried. Stands to say all men quickly got the point and so only a handful went after her before they population grew wise and stopped.
She hummed in thought as everything she accomplished was great and worthwhile but what she wanted the most was to spend more time with her master. He checked up on her every now and then with the last time being a few years ago.
"Hmm fancy?" Her fur and hair bristled at the voice as she looked up to see Menma leaning his elbow on the head of the throne she sat in. He gave her a sharp grin as he glanced down his nose at her.
Her face brightened up instantly as she was on him hugging him for dear life.
"Master!" He chuckled as she squeezed him. Definitely a much better greeting than Gilgamesh. He had to say it felt nice too considering how much she had grown in places.
After a minute he put his hand on her head and rubbed it.
"Let go." Obediently she broke contact instantly and stepped a few steps back. She stepped a few feet back and held her hands together causing her breasts to push together as she fidgeted lightly in place, her tail wavering. She had her head down but her eyes kept darting up at him before looking elsewhere as she struggled to not smile.
Menma stroked his chin as he looked the fox girl over. His testing of her lifespan was proving successful. She was over forty years old now but only look around the age of her late teens. Yet at the same time she still had that certain air of playfulness that was endearing.
'Endearing?' To think that of someone surprised him. 'It's because of her that all these foreign emotions have emerged.'
His eyes glanced over what she was wearing. The outfit she had now kept her stomach and underside of her breast exposed while the rest of her chest was covered in a gold fabric. She had gold bracelets on her wrists and a headdress with gold tassels that act as a crown but also resembled a ring. Her hair had grown and was held behind her in twin ponytails tied with a white big ribbon. Cute.
'Cute?' It wasn't him thinking that it was cute that bothered him but that the fact that he felt attraction towards it and her overall appearance as a whole.
She was an exceptional beauty that was further brought out by her exotic features of fox tail and ears. The more he thought of it and thought of her the more he felt a heat inside him.
His mouth slowly creeped up into a sly grin subconsciously to which Tamano started to blush furiously when she caught site of it.
'Is this how arousal feels?' He shook his head as he calmed down.
"Well I have to say Tamano you've done well. Better and faster than I expected. Gilgamesh should feel threatened."
She looked bashful under the praise as her tail wagged rapidly.
"T-Thank you Master! Do I fight him next?" He looked at her and paused. 'Where did that come from?' Though it would be interesting to see them fight. He shook his head.
"No I actually don't want that. I never want you two to fight. I believe that powerful nations should be able to coexist throughout the world in harmony. Even if that's the supernatural world to the human one." 'That and things will last longer that way.'
"Wow Master is wise! Alright I won't fight I promise!"
She gave a sharp nod hanging onto his world.
"Good. Now then." The air around him suddenly changed making her animated disposition vanish as she felt apprehensive. He started walking towards too which she unconsciously backtracked from him which he noted instantly. Before she knew it she had walked herself back into a wall with Menma now inches away from her as he loomed. She shook a little as her old timid habits resurfaced.
"D-Did I do something w-wrong?"
She flinched when he cupped her chin in one hand and had his other hand agains the wall behind her. "You've grown too beautiful. You've come a long way from the frail girl you once were but some things don't change." She turned red at the intimate contact as he lightly rubbed his thumb along her cheek. He had a hungry look in his eyes as he gazed at her. Menma had an expression of lust. She could see it clearly. Her master was lusting after her. Her dear master. This was what she always wanted right? Yet she couldn't deal with it the way she wanted as she once rendered weak in front of him as usual.
"I've learned these emotions but my control isn't the best. Indulge me won't you?"
"A-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-!"
She grew stir crazy as she knew where this was going. He wasn't being direct with his words or maybe he just wasn't sure about how to go about what he was saying but it was charming in a way she could only describe as her master. She couldn't bring her words together right. Menma looked confused as he tilted her head at her lack of a coherent response. It was hard to till if the confusing was real of if it was him being sly as his emotional capacity was at the point where it could go either way.
"What? Maybe my form isn't the most suitable?"
"N-No! Master is perfect-!" She shouted at him but her words fell short when he changed anyway as a pair of wolf ears and a tail sprouted from his body along with his appearance becoming more feral and being covered in black tribal markings.
"Is this better?" His presence becoming more dominating as he assumed his Youkai form. He had developed it a while ago and though she might be interested in it. Judging by her reaction she seemed to be more than interested.
Her body grew hot quickly as her nether regions dripped instinctively. She wanted to mate. She wanted to mate so badly right now. She didn't know what came over her but her instincts were overriding much of her thought processes. She literally almost creamed herself seeing her Master who was already the most attractive man she'd ever known suddenly become even more appealing. He even smelled like a real youkai and a wolf one too. She'd never seen one before she wasn't even sure if they existed but if they didn't exist already she had a feeling deep down in the core of her womanhood that they would be soon.
Menma sniffed the air the scent of her arousal filling his nostrils. His grin widened as he had less control of carnal impulses in this form.
"I'll take that as a yes."
This fox girl was about to take one of the hardest trails in her extended life.
"...Well then. I've been missing out on a lot."
Menma lied in bed stuck in thought as Tamano's bare body slept soundly on top of his the moonlight cascading over their bodies. Carnal pleasure was definitely something he could get used to. He just hoped he didn't hurt the girl too much.
'Hope?' He was feeling concern for the girl? He looked down at the girl on his chest and sighed in defeat to his emotions.
"Aw what the hell..." If he would feel compassion for anyone deep down inside he felt like it wouldn't be so bad to direct it towards this girl, so he would do just that.
He wrapped his arms around the girl holding her closer. He felt a rumbling on his chest along with sniffling. Tamano's ears were drooping as she tried to keep silent trying and failing to hold back tears.
"Tamano? If I forced too much on you I'm sorr-." Wait was he about to apologize out of guilt? Too many new things were happening. Before he could finish however Tamano cut him off with her next words.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." There were breaks in her voice as she uttered those words out. He was completely stumped by her apologizing which earned her the unintelligent response.
"Huh?"
"I-I wanted to g-give you kits but I failed. I'm a worthless woman." He was surprised again. Granted why he mated with her in the first place was partially because of what Ophis said about him having descendants but for Tamano to have the same idea and beat herself over it. He didn't like it. Yes he didn't like it. Also Youkai women can apparently tell if they were pregnant right away. Some kind of instinct he wasn't sure nor did he want to find out how first hand that worked. Some things he just did not want to test.
"Tamano I don't think that's your fault. There is nothing wrong with your body." 'That's for sure... Hmm I have innuendo in my mental dialogue now...' "If you wanted to carry a child and weren't able to then that means I did something wrong."
Her head snapped up at him quickly startling him a bit.
"You did nothing wrong! You came ins-!"
"I know. I know." Damn it women aren't supposed to shout out those things in conversation. "What I meant was my blood isn't compatible with yours enough for us to have children. I'm sure in time though I can figure that out. That is if you're willing to wait."
She just pressed her face down to his chest and wiped her tears away as she smiled and nodded. "You are my master. I will wait however long I need to."
A comfortable silence met them as they just enjoyed being in contact with each other. One clearly was enjoying it a lot. There was a lifting of the sheets behind her causing her eyes to snap open as she felt something hard and hot press up against her womanhood. Something she had recently become intimately familiar with. She looked up at Menma who sported an oblivious look on his face before suddenly their positions were reversed and he loomed over her nude form. She quivered in fear as he dominated the space above her.
"W-Wait Master I thought we weren't doing this?!"
"I said we could wait on children. That doesn't mean we can't still practice."
"B-But we've gone so much already. Sleep is-."
"Don't worry if you're tired I'll do the work for you."
"That's not what I meant!"
Poor girl if only she had a twin or someone to help her in this endeavor.
A lot of time had gone by as we get to the climax of this flashback. It had been decades since he first mated with Tamano they had yet to have any children born in all that time but he hadn't really been in a rush either. He'd lived longer than anyone would believe so several decades wasn't much to him and Tamano was fine as long as she had a place with him.
That girl was one of a kind. Well a woman really but no matter how mature she had gotten she was still reduced to that of a submissive girl to his advances. He still kept traveling, leaving her for periods of time but he visited a little more often than he used to which made her happy.
He was back in Gilgamesh's territory along the outskirts of his kingdom dealing with his current problem at hand. A deity over stepping their bounds. A goddess who he was currently holding off the ground while holding her neck.
"Do not think you can order me Gala. The fact that you are the boy's mother will not sway me. If you did not want him under my service you should not have abandoned him when he was so young. Granted I'm sure the boy still idolizes you as a child does their mother but I will not allow you to full him."
He had looked into Gilgamesh's heritage some time ago and found that he was from a long line of gods who were unimportant to him. They were all greedy and annoying to him. Now here the mother was trying to sink her claws into Gilgamesh now that he was powerful. He wasn't about to let another god benefit from his work.
He had to admit though this goddess was extremely attractive with long golden hair and red eyes the resembles to her son was there. She also had a strong yet seductive body. He supposed that could be attributed to being a goddess of love and war.
"Y-You have no right to keep me away from what's mine."
She had a defiant look in her eyes as his own narrowed. He had to hand it to her she did have some back bone but one thing he hate about all these no name gods sprouting about is that many of them were unwarrantedly cocky and saw him as an obsolete elder god. So he didn't get much respect from most of them. This goddess, woman, girl, no. Child, had made the mistake of irritating him.
Menma tilted his head gaining an insane sadistic look that he had recently grown in to.
"No right eh? You didn't want him so he was free game. You forfeited your right and I've grown tired of your existence so you can die."
The fight between them was more than he had been expecting but in the end the battle only lasted 5 minutes. The goddess was actually very skilled but the problem was Menma wasn't a fighter, maybe in another life he would be better at fighting but as he was now he was a walking destructive force of nature.
And now he had his arm slammed right through the chest of the now dying goddess. He had lost track of where he was and ended up taking out half of the kingdom around him on accident.
The clothing on Menma's top was half blown off and he had two lances snapping through his body. They actually stung which meant they had some kind of enchantment on them. It would be dangerous for him to have them embedded in his body for too long.
She panted weakly as blood spilled out of her mouth. Her efforts were in vain for in the end she didn't get what she wanted.
"I-I curse you. I curse your mind and your body." He blinked at her at being cursed. It did something but he wasn't sure what.
"Well that's something... Please die now, like the rest of your family." Her eyes widened upon hearing that.
"You-!?"
*Crrck* He yanked his hand out of her pulling with him out a piece of her spine. as she fell down to the ground in a heap.
"Mother." Menma froze at the voice as he looked back to see Gilgamesh's face frozen in shock.
'Shit shit shit shit shit this timing is terrible.'
"Kid I know it looks bad but not as bad as that bitch of a mother of yours." Menma's eyes widened at what he said. Sure he thought it but he didn't mean to actually say that. 'Gala you bitch!' That curse had to be a part of this.
Gilgamesh's face morphed into that of unbridled rage. "You killed my mother... and destroyed half my empire haphazardly. You death is now!"
Menma actually felt bad for him but for some reason he couldn't express it.
Destruction and ruins. That was the scenery around them. Menma was actually impressed by the number of weapons Gilgamesh had amassed. He had already lost his arm to Gilgamesh who sent it away to his treasury. Those cursed lances in his body were also affecting his abilities.
He had always wanted to fight Gilgamesh to the death. That's why he trained him and sculpted him into what he is now but somewhere along the line he just lost interest in it. But Gilgamesh should have not forgotten who he was up against. Both were bleeding greatly but Menma was the one with the edge. He had his hand up in the air as a dark ball built above them ready to raze the ground. He looked at Gilgamesh who was beaten but still had the will to defy him. Looking back at all that happened tore him up inside. He will never completely understand why he did it but he did it anyway.
Gilgamesh did one last ditch effort as he summoned a giant lance and shot it at Menma at point blank range.
Menma sensed it coming and saw it coming and yet... he dropped his remaining arm dispelling his own attack and took it. He was impaled to a wall as he vomited blood. Gilgamesh was honestly surprised as well not having expected to hit him at all. He worked his way to his feat and limped over to where Menma was pinned.
"Why! Why did you let me live?!"
Menma sighed as he looked at Gilgamesh's face of anguish and pain knowing the boy was racking his brain apart trying to cope with what all was happening.
There were ways he could have answered. Ways that might have gotten him out of this but he replied the way he wanted in the end looking him dead in the face with so much strength of superiority.
"I only stuck around as long as I did to have a worthy opponent to face. In the end you really did bore me." Though it wasn't everything Menma told the truth in the end. Something inside Gilgamesh broke as what he had suspected for a long time had turned out to be true. That in the end he really was a disappointment.
He saw red as dozens of weapons appeared in the air around him and shot down on Menma skewering his body. Blood sprayed into the air hitting Gilgamesh's body and seeping into his body as his white armorer marks glowed till they became red.
Coming into contact with the ambient excess energy in the air the scattered primordial blood was drawn to it as they collected through the air turning into a black viscious fluid and was sucked into his weapon portals to his treasury. He didn't know what was happening as he was consumed by the battle haze.
Gilgamesh held out his hand and Menma's arm that he had severed from earlier appeared in his grasp. The black fluid was sucked into the limb before Gilgamesh squeezed it with his body markings blazing. The arm exploded in a flash of colors before rapidly reshaping into an odd looking sword with a gold hilt and a long drill-like black and red blade. It glowed maliciously as it charged with power.
Menma's body was a mess as his mind was almost lost. It was a gruesome sight as his body was rendered with so many holes. Too many enchanted weapons along with that curse and his weakened state he was reaching his end. With one eye still working he had an insane gleam as his grin was shit eating.
"That's the enthusiasm I wanted to see! You might have killed me but I will not give you the pleasure of delivering the final blow!"
There was a crackle in the air as a red halo of light manifested itself above his head. Light started to sparkle off his body as his life force dropped rapidly. Gilgamesh panic as he knew something important was about to happen. He formed a lance in his other hand and quickly chucked it at Menma like a bullet.
The Juubi saw it all in slow motion as he closed his eyes in peace.
'I guess you do reap what you sow in the end. This world still has need of me. When I am needed I will be born again.'
Right before the lance hit Menma's soul shattered releasing a pulse of light that spread over the region before dissipating into the atmosphere.
"No!" Gilgamesh roared as Menma still had the last laugh in the end.
A blur suddenly shot by side checking Gilgamesh into a ruined building before it stopped in front of Menma's body.
Tamano arrived in front of him with a look of disbelief on her face. She felt something was wrong so she came to Gilgamesh's kingdom but she wasn't expecting this. She didn't want this. She fell to her knees feeling ill as she touch her hands to Menma's heavily wounded chest.
"Master? You're not leaving are you master? You're fine you just need to rest." Her voice was shaky and bordering on hysterical as the Menma's eyes were already dull. He managed to glance at her and looked deeply apologetic. He didn't have the strength to speak as he moved his mouth in silent words.
I'm sorry.
That apology. It had so many emotions in it as he communicated his last words to her. Sadness, regret, love. Their adventure together was over. By the time he returned she would be long gone because with out him around the days of her lifespan were numbered.
And with those final words his consciousness left him as his body became completely lifeless feeling like a bloodied statue. She jerked her hands back away from him as if feeling the warmed leaving his body had stung her.
Dilated eyes stared at her bloodied hands as that would be the last contact she would have with her most precious master.
Tamano shook as she brought her hands to her face with the blood and clawed at her cheeks as she cried, wailing to the heavens as it echoed.
"WAHHHHHH!"
There was a turning of rubble behind her as Gilgamesh reemerged from the wreckage. He saw the scene of Tamano and his fallen teacher and couldn't help but feel a broken sense of victoriousness at the moment.
He sneered at Tamano as he dispelled his weapons.
"Leave that trash. Out of respect for our childhood I will let you leave alive fox bitch but you will never step foot in my lands again."
She nodded with her back to him as she spoke in a small voice. "I promise I won't return."
He smirked till a split second later when the air around Tamano started to dark and her hair turned red as she was covered in a furious red aura.
She slowly turned her head to Gilgamesh and he blanch as he saw his own death. That girl was on suicide watch. Her eyes had slitted dangerously and her fangs protruding as she became feral. On her cheeks were 3 blood lines that quickly turned into scars that resembled whisker marks. There was a ripple over her as glowing tribal markings spread over her body. It felt like her blood was boiling.
"I won't return, but you won't have any lands to RETURN TO!"
Her aura exploded and she slammed her palms into the ground. A sealing mark spread throughout the ruins and the rest of the remaining city before a ripple went throughout it with a pulse killing anyone who was still alive by fire. Everything was burned to ash and crushed into sand before it came together in front of her converging on Gilgamesh. He was so surprised he wasn't able to counter it despite all the power he had gained. This was in the class of a last resort technique. He was buried alive, restricted, and put to sleep all at the same time.
Giant chains shot out of the ground and the sand compacted and shaped into a formed that mimicked the techniques name.
"GREAT PYRAMID BURIAL!"
The pyramid leveled everything remaining and consumed it as Tamano and Menma's corpse were automatic situated on top of it. The chains wrapped around the colossal pyramid and locked it in place.
She had a weak smile on her face as her power vanished and she fell to her knees sweating.
"Don't worry master! Tamano obeyed you. I didn't fight him. Just like you told me to. I just sent him away. I won't die yet. I will complete the last job you gave me." She weakly brought her hand to her stomach feeling the small bulge. "To be a mother." Her smile was bittersweet as her face went down to the chest of her dead master and she bawled her eyes out as she held him close.
A number of months later Tamano would give birth to three children in the safety of her own kingdom. Their names would be Mew, Asura, and Madara the only male of the three and first natural born wolf youkai as well as luck would have it an armorer. They all inherited things from their father. Mew gained his diverse gene pool and weapon alignment. Asura inherited his raw power and destructive nature as well but also had her own ability to propagate her own race of demons on her own. Madara gained the aforementioned along with the battle prowess that Menma had only just started to tap into.
Even with her life failing with the sealing of Gilgamesh other gods had witnessed it and she earned the honorary title of Amaterasu. It was because of Menma that she already had divine blood in her anyway.
In the end Gilgamesh's rule met it's end at 126 years. Tamano met her end 100 years later but her dynasty survived and prospered.
Her lifespan cut short without the Juubi to sustain her, through shear will power she managed to hold on twice as long as she should have for the sake of her children but in the end it wouldn't be far off to say she died in her grief.
A tribute to her skill Gilgamesh was definitely sealed and though it didn't last forever it still lasted several millennia. The curse placed on Menma however proved to travel over lifetimes as it created mental instability.
- Present -
The memories going through Naruto's mind were projected strong enough for all his mates to see it as well. Rias was not expecting that at all. Naruto always acted so strong and confident but he had a past that could damage someone. Damage from losing what they once had.
"Ssshh it's alright onii-san. The child is okay."
Ophis held on tight to Naruto as she tried to keep him from going cataclysmic. Even in his haze of emotions he still recognized Ophis right away and that allowed her to communicate with him better.
"Hmph your emotions are more detrimental now than they were back then. Maybe you aren't fit to keep your title? Though I suppose in a way you still are."
Naruto's eyes turned back to their usual violets and the shadowy appearance about him died down to where he only had a dark and wispy outline as his eyes shift to look down at Ophis.
"Where are they?"
"Though it can be used to kill Shalba Beelzebub's magic at it's base is not destructive like yours or the Gremory's and those of the Bael clan. When used on a person's entire being it's really just a teleportation spell. It is where the person is sent that deals the real damage of the technique."
Naruto's eyes slitted finely as his harsh emotions were directed at Ophis as a warning feeling her with a sense of trepidation.
"Did I ask for an explanation?"
Her eyes widened a bit. Anger from her brother figure was not something she was experienced with but she also knew the threat of it and out of respect towards him back down from her own little game she was having. Her eyes broke contact and looked away shocking Beelzebub and the other leaders who were watching from their own locations at seeing the Infinity Dragon subverted so easily.
"T-The child and Shinigami were sent to my domain..."
The air went calm as Naruto instantly went back to his old self upon hearing that. He smiled brightly doing a full 180 that caught Ophis off guard and made his friends able to breathe again.
"Oh well why didn't you say so! I don't have anything to worry about then."
"..."
He stood in silence for a moment before looking back down as if realizing who he was talking to really. He pulled the girl off him with one arm and held her up by the back of her dress as if she were some small animal.
"Oh Ophis! You've grown a little since the last I saw you... I was expecting more honestly but this is still nice." He looked her over and had mixed emotions at what he was looking at. Her winged ears from her younger days were replaced with pointed ears. Not long enough to be elf-like but enough to know she wasn't human. Her sense of fashion showed that she had taken an interest in humans but the tap on her nipples...
'You fanservice objectified loli...' His eye twitched despite his smile as he stared at her. She just hung there limp as she stared back at him.
"I can change my form remember. How old I look does not matter much."
"Good to know."
"Put me down and stop staring at my chest."
"Right!" He did just that and straightened his posture doing some stretches for his back and arms.
He felt weird. After that mental shock he just went through he somehow felt refreshed despite what the memories entailed. Like he had come to better terms with his past. Like he somehow understood himself better than before.
"Naruto-kun?" He turned his head to the voice to see Rias looking at him worried. The room was destroyed and most of the others were gone in some kind of fight. He noted Diodora's body was in shreds like a giant beast had ripped him apart. Akeno of course hadn't left Rias's side but also wanted to make sure he was alright as well so was standing guard between her and Shalba along with Koneko. Shalba thankfully for them had not been attacking as he had been confused from the moment Ophis showed up as to why she would get so close with his enemies.
"I'm fine Ri-chan. More importantly now that you've seen my past do you have any regrets?" He had his back towards her so she couldn't see his face. Ophis just looked back and forth between them curiously. Rias thought curiously to herself for a moment before giving him a warming smile even though he wasn't looking at her.
"As Tama would say. I don't really care."
He didn't react on the outside though internally his heart started beating for a few seconds as he smiled to himself and chuckled.
"I think you are just showing favoritism. You know what I did was wrong."
"Whats wrong with showing favoritism towards the one I love? I'm a devil not a human remember. You acted by your own desires but you are still here with me. Who am I to say what you can and can't do? You do what you want anyway so I will continue to support you."
He turned around and walked towards her with a much more relaxed look in his eyes than what it had been 10 minutes ago as the smile stayed on his face.
"Damn you girls are making me soft."
He grabbed her arm and pulled her in to give her a loving kiss with pleasantly surprised him as she reciprocated it. It was short but sweet and filled with emotions before they broke away. She held on to him a little longer forgetting where they were.
"Don't worry you are at least hard where it counts."
"You've been around Tayuya for too long."
"I didn't mean it that way."
"Yes you did."
"...Okay maybe I did a little. But it's your fault."
"Yeah it probably is I will admit."
There was a cough that broke them out of their tender moment. It didn't come from Akeno though who was pouting with jealously, or Koneko who wasn't watching and choose to keep her poker face, or even Ophis who was... taking notes... No it came from Shalba Beelzebub who had been watching them all this time.
"As touching as it is I feel like I will become sickly if I have to endure any more of these overly mature teenage displays of affection."
"Hey you should respect your elders. I may be 17 but I have far more life experience than you ever will." Naruto thumbed his chest as he spoke out to the Old Faction supporter.
Shalba scoffed not feeling the need at all. "I serious doubt that. I don't plan on dying anytime soon."
"But you're already dead?" Shalba flinched when Naruto's tone quickly went insane again. Naruto's eyes were opened wide as he tilt his head staring across the room at Shalba.
"W-What?
"The moment you tried to erase my family was the moment you died." Shalba blinked and saw that there was a scythe in Naruto's hands. "Yes your fate has been sealed. I'm just getting rid of the body."
"Y-Your determination is noted but do not think you confidence is anything other than arrogance-!?" He had blinked again throughout his dialogue and saw Naruto with his back to him resting his arm on his scythe on his shoulders as he held it with his other hand like a bar.
Blood started to drip down his face before his vision split. There was a sliding sound as a slit appeared up the middle of his body and along the room behind him. Naruto's tail twitched in irritation before it hit the ground and as if that was the signal Shalba let out a short scream before his body was blown apart in a spray of red before a split second later everything on his side of the castle he was in exploded.
"Eviscerating Guillotine."
"A magnificent cut you made Naruto-sama." He heard the echoes of his familiar's voice in his head.
"A beautiful weapon you are Yami-chan." He felt his scythe hum in his grip for a short second at the compliment as the girl kept silent. He definitely had gotten better at wielding his familiars over that month training session. They were harder to use than normal weapons because he had to sync his power and soul with them which meant he could harm them if he wasn't careful like he had before in the past. But the trade off was that they had more potential than any weapon especially to an armorer of his class.
The others in the room had there eyes widened as usual in surprise accept Koneko who was getting more accustomed to his abilities. They hadn't even been able to see him move throughout that attack only catching glimpses of it. Ophis just hummed in approval.
He walked over to the broken wall to see where the others had gone to see a dragon causing havok in the barren land below.
"So what's the situation here?"
Rias burrowed her brow as Akeno and Koneko walked up to stand beside them.
"After Asia was sent away with Kaga and Tama, Issei assumed the worse like the rest of us did. His gear reacted to that and now he's gone berserk and become a dragon. Problem is we can't stop him, but only slow him down."
"Well I'll take care of this." He jumped down out of the castle to the ground below before running to where the enraged Issei and the others were a couple miles away.
"Swordbirth!" An eruption of giant swords erupted under the draconified Issei as Kiba sought to stop him. The dragon was stopped as the swords locked in at his joints. It threw a fit roaring out in anger before all the swords were shattered into nothing. Kiba cursed at his futile efforts as he tried to form some kind of plan to stop Issei. Xenovia's knuckles were whitening from how hard she was gripping her sword as she watched on next to Kiba in silence. With all the power she had she just would be of no use in this battle. She did not have the speed to get close enough to Issei in this state without being killed. Koneko probably could have gotten up close but she had less power than Xenovia had with her sword so it wouldn't have done much good. So both that knight and rook were out of this fight forced to watch on.
Selene sat on a pillar from what looked to be the ruins of a fallen structure as she held her hands together. Her eyes glowed as she activated her sacred gear to it's limits. All of it's power was turned on Issei's juggernaut state as she froze him.
The dragon was stopped in the localized time control bring a calm to the battle. Several seconds later the dragon started to slowly move, straining to do so as it fought against Selene's gear. She gritted her teeth as her eyes started to bleed from the strain. Sweat beaded down her forehead as the strain brought her to the brink quickly. Struggling to do so she moved one hand to dig into her close to remove a dark red vial. It contained Naruto's blood and was hers to use should she need it. Before she could though Naruto landed on the dragon's head gaining all the focus as she fell back breaking her control on Issei as her reserves were near depleted.
Naruto stood on Issei's dragon head casually as he leaned down to look him straight in the eye.
"Oi! Issei Asia isn't dead so calm your ass down already."
"..." The dragon stared at him for a moment before it roared making Naruto lose his balance before it head butted him hard. His body trenched the ground as it was knock 100 meters away.
Naruto laid amid the kicked up dust upside down in the side of a hill as rubble from ruins fell down him. Blood trailed down the corner of him mouth which he wiped with the back of his hand.
"Ure... Why does every dragon I meet in this life in an offensive manner feel the need to headbutt me across the landscape?... That was the same force as Tannin. Can't remember how hard Latias's was since she gave me a concussion and actually knocked me out. Good thing I'm a lot more resistant to these kinds of attacks now."
He righted himself out of the rubble and crouched. With a dull boom he jumped up high into the air leaving a trail of dust behind him. At the very height of his jump some 500 meters in the air, with his trajectory he started to fall back down towards Issei. The wind whipped at his ears as he plummeted. A grin etched onto his face as a translucent orb covered him.
"Earth's Relief!" There was a crackle as Naruto released his localized control over his own gravity and reality letting his true weight become apparent for that moment. Naruto's body was much denser than most element's on the planet. For his statue one would say his weight would be right below 200 pounds but with his true density now let go his weight would clock at over 4000 pounds. When you calculate that with how fast Naruto was making himself drop and how small the point of impact would be relatively it would be like hitting a dragon with a bullet that had the force of an ICBM.
And that's just what the expected force was wen Naruto stomped with that force onto Issei's head. A shockwave went out from the impact as he smashed Issei's head down to the ground with a crash.
"Graaa!"
Naruto looked down to see the dragon growling up at him under his feet. "Damn didn't even crack the armor. Definitely a dragon but I bet you still felt that rattling your brain."
The dragon suddenly recovered and pushed off the ground to stand up throwing Naruto up in the air off his head. Naruto grinned while swinging out his arm. Dark energy started to collect in it as a black ball formed above his hand. He cocked his hand back as he started to fall back down towards Issei.
"I have no doubt that you can tank this attack in that form of yours but I wanna do it anyway! Bijuudama!"
The dragon simply roared up at him. It's wings glowed blue as they suddenly turned white causing Naruto and the other's eyes to widen.
'Divide divide divide divi-..."
The orb in Naruto's hand shrunk each time before it flickered out of existence. The power dividing also effected him some as it had caught him off guard causing him to lose his balance in the air. When he got within range of the dragon again it swiped at him with his claws knocking him away like a struck baseball back into the ground a bit away with a crash.
Rias's eyes were widened in shock as she and the others looked over at Naruto who had crashed a few meters away from them.
"Divine Dividing? I thought that was Vali's ability. How does Issei have it?!"
Naruto glanced away in a random direction causing everyone to narrow their eyes at him.
"Naruto..."
"Remember back at the Leader's summit when I faced Vali and I ripped off one of his wings? While I did eat most of it I implanted part of it into Issei out of curiousity during the training trip. I thought the experiment had failed though..." Naruto popped up on his feet and looked down to see 3 deep gashes in his chest where he had been swiped. He dropped on all fours as his tail turned black.
"That just makes things more interesting though!"
He took off in a blur right back at Issei. He may of had Divine Dividing but it was still in it's immature phases so the boy wouldn't be able to use it too often. But it was effective on his magic attacks though.
"There is more than one way to stop a rampaging beast!"
Black trails started to drag behind Naruto as his Dream aura poured out in excess. Naruto dashed at Issei and slid on the ground sliding between his legs before blurring around him circling the legs.
Rias held her head feeling a headache coming on.
"Honestly why would he do something so potentially hazardous as that to my pawn?
"I am surprised you are asking yourself that especially after seen those memories of his." They jumped at the voice before seeing Ophis standing behind them in an expressionless disposition.
"Huh?"
"This is what he does. It seems whether it's this life or the previous one some things don't change. He seeks the most entertaining means to an end of his existence. I am not even sure why that is. He seeks out powerful opponents to fight and when he can't find those he then finds persons of interest and modes them into beings that could potentially kill him. It is his nature to create weapons, as self-sacrificing and suicidal as it is."
He did that with Gilgamesh and he even did it subconsciously with Tamano. That could also have been part of the reason he was so drawn to Tama from the beginning. He fought his brothers multiple times but neither would think of killing him so it just didn't feel as satisfying. To have the biggest threats on your life and fight against them really got him going. And surely enough Naruto was doing the same thing now as despite the situation the sharp grin stayed plastered on his face.
Naruto pulled tight on the black tendrils he had made making the dragon yelp as it's legs were pulled and bound together. Naruto never stopped moving using the taut black robe to swing in the air around Issei's draconic form. He went around his body before going up and wrapping around his wings. Pulling tight along the ways he made it around Issei's tail and neck. Having covered all the bases Naruto landed on Issei's head and his hair turned read with red eyes as he suddenly pulled all the way on the on the roping immobilizing Issei. The dragon roared in outrage as it fell down and it's wings gloowed brightly again. Naruto heard the echoes of boost and divide as his tendrils start to thin.
Naruto flexed his arm and pulled even tighter as he gritted his teeth causing the tendrils to expand again and cover Issei even more than before.
"It's time you calmed down. I didn't want to do this but you aren't giving me much of a choice here."
Naruto's other arm turned completely black before he stabbed it straight into Issei's dragon-sized forehead. The creature roared in pain as Naruto started to drain some kind of essence from him.
Naruto squinted one eye in slight strain as he absorbed Issei's negative emotions.
"Wow this is kind of intense. To feel so much for that you've gained a little bit more of my respect with that but I'll need you to let go of it for now."
He ripped out his hand leaving no wound but pulling out a giant mass of dark and malicious energy made out of intent. Naruto absorbed it choosing not to let it disperse into the enviornment. He sweated a little after the deed was done.
"Your anger, sadness, angst, all of those emotions and those like it have been added to my instability. I've already been cursed with insanity so this is a small favor I'm doing for you. It's only temporary so you better have better control over yourself next time.
Issei passed out as his dragon shaped armor shattered and in a glow of light he slowly shrunk back down to his normal appearance sound asleep.
- Void -
"Well this is a trip" Tama scanned her surroundings seeing iridescent colors everywhere. She didn't know where they had been sent to but it was definitely interesting. There were floating masses of land and different structures in ruins drifting about. Tama even saw old desecrated ships and airplanes here and there as if they had lost their way on their voyages long ago.
She stumbled in her stetp for a second as her vision became blurry. Holding her head in pain she almost vomited from her disorientation.
"Gah... The atmosphere here is odd... this feels like radiation." Her head snapped down to look down at Kaga in sudden worry but she relaxed a second later upon seeing her. Kaga was sitting on the ground her tail wagging lightly as she looked curious at where she currently was. Odd thing was a black aura was covering her body as if reacting defensively to the world around her.
Feeling her mother's gaze she looked up at her and tilted her head. "Kaa-chan?"
"Well at least you seem to be fine." 'That aura...'
"Ahh!" Tama sighed as the sound of girlish cries filled her ears. She and Kaga looked back to see Asia clutching her stump off an arm in pain as it continued to bleed. There girl was clearly in pain but they couldn't bring themselves to care a whole lot.
"Suck it up it's not that bad."
"B-B-But my arm!"
"Yes I can see that, or rather see the lack of it. Can't your gear heal yourself?"
The young girl whimper but activated her Twilight Healing nonetheless as her cries were worked down to whimpers that made her sound like a wounder small animal. Still the lack of wailing was easier on there ears. Asia was lucky that the arm she lost was not the one that contained her sacred gear or this could be a much worse situation. The gear also seems to be defending the girl somewhat from the hazardous environment she was in. Kaga got started to walk forward only to become unbalanced as she started to flip floating up in the air from a sudden change in gravity. Tama grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her back down casually before she flew off into acid trip space.
'I'm picking up an odd presence here. Something has been watching us for the past 10 or so minutes.'
Tama sat Kaga down on the ground next to the healing Asia and waved her hand over them, a black barrier appearing before disappearing a second later.
"I'm going to go take a look around Kaga-chan. Stay here with her okay?"
She jumped down to a floating island below them and landed much lighter than she expected. She looked around too see some trees and other vegetation floating about somehow surviving in this environment.
Her body shivered as she held herself a chill going down her spin.
"Cold..." The temperature changed out of nowhere. This place was annoying her quickly. Tama rose an eyebrow as she looked around at her surroundings. There weren't very many places to hide nearby.
"Whoever you are might as well show yourself. I know you're watching me."
Tama stood there and waited patiently for about a minute to see if anyone would show up. Realizing that they really were in fact detected a figure appeared on top of a floating tree above Tama shimmering into existence. They jumped down and landed lightly on one foot a safe distance away from Tama but still close enough.
Tama squinted at the person upon seeing their appearance. The figure was at a nice height and supposedly a slim build. It was hard to tell because the person had their entire body covered in a flowing black cloak with a hood over their head. Though the hood didn't completely conceal their face it didn't matter as their was also a mask hiding them. A black mask with a pair of big eye holes that gave off a ghostly red and blue glow.
"Hmm... Well hello?"
The figure didn't verbally respond to Tama. With a whoosh of air three arrows suddenly appeared in the guest's hand before they pointed them directly at Tama.
"... Oh! You want to fight!" Tama's eyes gleamed in realization as she gained a small. She threw off her own cloak and jacket showing her new battle attire. Naruto had indeed made her what she wanted: a battle suit. It was a skin type black body suit inspired by the same one Irina and Xenovia wore. Hers however covered her whole body up to her neck and had violet veins going throughout it. Her purple Armorer marks showed however threw the material on her forearms though thanks to Naruto completing the loom more. The markings also grew as she stood there to wrap around the full length of her arms and glowed lightly as if in response to her own slight excitement.
"You're an interesting one. I can tell you're different than you seem. I hope you don't go down too fast. I haven't gotten a lot of fighting screen time lately." Her fingers cracked as she waggled them around before balling them into fists.
Kaga who was still up on the floating landmass in the air with Asia who was still whimpering but not as much as before crawled to the edge to look down with her big curious eyes at whoever her mother was about to fight.
- END -
AN: Yep didn't cover as much as I wanted because the flashback became more indepth than I planned (Not that I plan a whole lot). Didn't get to the lemon or Tama's fight or the start of the Sairaorg fight so that will be next chapter along with a few other things. I actually have to get to my job right now so I will keep this briefer than usual. Watched a number of anime but I will talk about those next chapter. I got Dark Souls 3 and PS+ again so if you wanna do that with me PM me.
Question for this chapter: Who is Tama facing? I'm expecting 3 answers that would be close but ultimately there is only 1 or 2 answers I will say are right. Also I started playing League of Legends again. Got Kindred too. Will talk about that later.
Also should I stop part 2 after next chapter and then make a part 3 as another story or should I keep going with this?
Anyway review again. PM me. Whatever. I will try to have the next chapter in a week since I'm just about done with classes.
Can't remember what else I was gonna say.
I'm out.
