Prelude to the End Chapter 35: Relaxation and Processed, a rosario + vampire fanfic

Sol System/Earth's Veil/ Crimson Dominion Dreadnought 'Heartfire'/ 34th Dark Legion

Dominic stood in front of the entire 34th Dark Legion, each of them ready for what was asked. The hanger door opened revealing the planet Earth. "Brothers... Sisters... we know why we're here..." Dominic reminded the remainder of the 34th Dark Legion of what their mission was. He would look upon his comrades with furrowed brow, the shadow of his hood hiding this from his men. Seeing them all together once more for an operation brought him great pride, though he wishes it were under better terms. The sight also pains him as seeing these men and women made him see the phantoms of those they lost, their names and their faces, both living and after death seared into his mind.

A Dark Guardian raised his falchion over his head rallying his men, the steel of the blade caught the light, and made the cutting edge shimmer."Death to the Imposter and conspirators!" The Dark Guardians shouted as the rest cheered raising their weapons over their head, giving off a war cry. The Entire Legion rushed forth and jumped towards the hanger's ray shield. As they jumped through the red visible force field each of them turned into a black smoky cloud shooting through the Veil heading towards Earth, rushing towards the earth, and more specifically, that particular dimension .

With the Entire 34th Dark Legion deployed and in route to their objective, the Crimson Dominion ships pulled out after changing directions to a full one eighty, and in quick snaps of light, they were gone. This change of situation would bring the Republic defense fleet to power down their weapons and shields. Though they remained on high alert and ready for action. The 34th was well on its way...seeing the slip of light, the rift that would lead them into the realm which they desired, each and every one of the one hundred-thirty men and women slipped in and began their final descent. They landed in the dense, dead forest, landing in knelt positions all within a hundred yards of one another...their robes flowing and flickering from the force of their landings. They sensed that the imposter was not here, but he had to be coming back soon, they would lay in wait, and prepare to end his abhorrent mockery of their master.

Feeling the cold chill from the Himalayan winds, Tsukune sat on a hill as he just collected his thoughts, while most of his friends were having fun, Michael would soon join him sitting right by his apprentice on his left. "I know that look..." Michael stated as he looked down at the others.

Tsukune turned his head to his left, then looking back down the hill."Ever get that feeling we're way in over are head?" Tsukune asked a question from his previous thoughts on what's been happening all around him.

Michael chuckled hearing that from him."Tsukune the moment you entered the training, you were in over your head...though we got to make best of the shitty situation we've been dealt with." Michael patted Tsukune on the back.

Tsukune stood up from his spot still looking down the hill."You think we're ready?" He asked Michael who was still sitting down. "Hell no... but it's a good start, you pass my final test... and you'll be ready." Tsukune turned to Michael looking down at him. "Then when is it? We've been struggling for hundreds of years in that timed dimension, when is the final test?" Tsukune demanded Michael to give him a date, though before Michael could answer, he felt a... pull with in the curtain, someone breached it, there were multiple power signatures within the pull, without a doubt Michael knew who they were... his former apprentices they were here early and they'll be waiting for him at Yokai academy. Michael got up remaining silent for a few moments.

Michael turned to his apprentice."The final test will be when we get back..." Michael told Tsukune, whose face changed to a calm one, hearing that he got an answer. "Alright, that sounds great."

"Go enjoy yourself, kick back... relax." Michael told Tsukune as he walked towards the village. Tsukune slid down the hill, landing on his feet perfectly.

Yeah I guess I can do that...

Kurumu rolled down the hill making some what of the scene as she lost her balance on the slope."TSUKUNE!" She shrieked as she flew up landing on him. Tsukune fell face forward into the snow, while Kurumu was on his back giggling as she had a red flush on her face.

"Lost your balance did ya?" Tsukune said with a slight muffle in the snow.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my balance while moving through the snow," Kurumu said with a giggle. "Ahhh TSUKUNE HELP!" Yukari shouted as she made a snowball effect hitting Kurumu off of Tsukune falling on to her.

Yukari rubbed her head striking Kurumu on the back."Owwie..." Yukari complained while Kurmu had an irritated look on her face. Omote fell down the slope as well falling on to Tsukune as he pried himself out of the snow.

Seriously again?

Tsukune pushed up from the ground with Omote on top of him with ease, only to find his arms and legs sink deeper in to the snow."Hey Omote..."

"S-Sorry Tsukune," said Omote, "are you alright?"

Tsukune lifted his face out of the snow."Yeah I'm alright, though you're surprisingly light..."Tsukune stated as he fell a little deeper into the snow.

Omote blushed.

"Is... Is that a problem Tsukune?" She asked.

Tsukune groaned as pried his head out again."No, it's not.. Don't worry." Kokoa saw Omote on top of Tsukune. "Hey! Get off of my man!" Kokoa kicked Omote off of Tsukune, though hearing the word 'my' and 'man' got the attention of both Kurumu and Omote.

Here we go... 3...2...1...

"Your man!?" Yelled Kurumu, "who do you think you are suddenly claiming Tsukune all for yourself!?"

"Yeah, you can't claim Tsukune all to yourself," said Omote.

Kokoa raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"You guys like to claim Tsukune for your own too, so isn't that basically the pot calling the kettle black?" She asked.

Kurumu clenched her fists.

"Now I'm going to pretend I didn't hear... What I clearly, just heard," she said as she approached the red-haired vampire.

"Oh would you like me to repeat it?" Asked Kokoa.

Tsukune sighed as he got up from the snow dusting himself off. "Ladies let's not start this again... we're relaxing today can't we be at peace?" Tsukune asked the conflicted members.

"Shut up Tsukune!" The girls snapped in unison before going back to their squabble.

"Say that again Kokoa... I dare you," threatened Kurumu.

That's it If diplomacy fails, use fear and intimidation... plus it'll give me a chance to try out my new form..

Tsukune bit his right thumb levitating the blood drop to hit the tip of his nose, the blood quickly engulfed his form within seconds, the blood came to a boil as within moments a very large red eyes black dragon spawned from the blood. The shadow of the dragon covered the squabbling girls causing them to stop and turn around, they stared in awe as the saw the massive creature.

"What," said Omote.

"The," said Kurumu.

"Fuck?" Kokoa said in disbelief.

Tsukune lowered his head down to face the three while Yukari shouted with glee jumping up and climbing on his tail. "Calm down yet?" Tsukune's voice was very dark and some what animalistic.

The girls nodded, Kokoa and Kurumu especially, fearful of the big, black beast that stood before them. The dragon made somewhat of a small grin, while Yukari got on the back of his neck. "Good..." Tsukune replied as Yukari petted the smooth scales of Tsukune. "Come on Tsukune fly!" Yukari ordered hitting his neck with her legs.

Wait a minute... oh no... now they're going to want to...

Omote suddenly smiled.

"Hey, I want to ride him too," she said. Though as quick as Kurumu and Kokoa stopped fighting the two pushed each other out of the way to jump on Tsukune's back.

"We want a ride too!" Chimed Kokoa.

"Giddy up Tsukune, giddy up!" Kurumu giggled as she jabbed her heels into his sides.

Tsukune groaned as he extended his large wings, slowly getting the feel of his two appendages he flapped them up and down getting used to it before jumping up into the air taking off from the ground. Omote and Yukari squealed happily, Kurumu and Kokoa squealed as well from the excitement, know they were riding on the back of a dragon. And that dragon was none other than Tsukune himself.

The things I do for a peace of mind...

Flying higher and higher, Tsukune flew above the tallest mountain and kept going up reaching the stratosphere stopping there as he looked down. "I'd hold on if I were you..." Tsukune told the girls on his back, confusing them for a moment as they didn't know what the problem was.

"W-Wait, what are you talking about?" Asked Kurumu.

"What's going on Tsukune?" Asked Kokoa.

Tsukune folded his wings causing him to suddenly dive through the clouds. All at once, screams could be heard from all four girls.

"AHHH!" Screamed Kurumu.

"TSUKUNE!" Screamed Omote.

"WHEEEEE!" Chimed Yukari.

"THIS IS AWESOME!" Yelled Kokoa.

Tsukune smiled as he began to do a death spin, plummeting to the ground even faster, seeing him getting closer to a mountain.

"TSUKUNE!" Screamed Omote.

"WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" Squealed Kurumu.

Tsukune opened his wings gliding his way like a jet over the mountain as he made his way back near the ski resort landing behind a hill side, evading other onlookers. Kokoa and Yukari squealed with joy jumping off of Tsukune, while Omote and Kurumu fell off him, and into the snow. Tsukune collapsed into the snow folding his wings back to his side, resting for a moment.

"THAT WAS THE RADEST RIDE EVER!" Squealed Kokoa.

"I might throw up," groaned Kurumu.

Tsukune's dragon form began to fade away revealing Tsukune, who was back in his human form kneeling in the snow. "And what is going on here?" Moka asked, with Ruby right by her.

"Big sis, you're not going to believe this, we got to ride on Tsukune's back!" Kokoa chimed happily.

"It was so totally cool!" Chimed Yukari.

"I thought we were going to die," groaned Kurumu.

"Can we not do that again?" Omote asked as she struggled to stand.

Moka crossed her arms against her chest, while Ruby slid down to meet the others."You rode on Tsukune's back?" She asked with her left eyebrow slightly raised.

"Yeah! Want to try?" Kokoa asked happily.

Moka looked at the others then at Tsukune."And pray tell, how you all rode on Tsukune's back?" She asked as she walked down the slope with ease.

"It was easy, big sister, Tsukune's a big strong man, he can handle carrying all four of us," said Kokoa.

Moka remained silent for a few seconds as a purple aura engulfed her form, her eyes began to twitch as her face began to form a very irritated expression."Kokoa, how many times do I have to tell you not to speak utter nonsense to me?..." Moka asked slowly approaching Kokoa.

"U-Uh what?" Asked Kokoa.

"Uh-oh," said Kurumu.

Moka charged at Kokoa kicking her up a very tall hill. "No Nonsense!" Moka shouted seeing Kokoa get engulfed in snow. "Now anyone else what to explain to me, what she was talking about?"

The girls were quick to shake their heads and throw their hands up.

"Nope," said Kurumu.

"No," said Omote.

"Uh-uh," said Yukari.

Moka looked at Tsukune, waiting for an answer. "Yeah... I turned into a Dragon..." Tsukune confessed to Moka who's face seem to calm down. "Ah that's right you have the Michael's blood in your veins." Moka reminded herself, while Mizore breaking the sound barrier as she grabbed Tsukune at top speed on her Ice board, causing all the attention to look at Mizore as she surfed away with Tsukune.

"What the he-Mizore!?" Screamed Kurumu.

"Mizore!" Omote cried out.

Mizore smiled as she looked back at the others."Slow on the draw!" She yelled as she continued to gain distance from the others.

Kurumu growled.

"Why that sneaky little-"

"Kurumu wait, we won't be able to catch her while she's on her board," interrupted Omote.

"I'm not going to stand here while Tsukune gets swiped from me!" She screamed.

Tsukune was being dragged across the field of snow while, Mizore continued to navigate her way back to her house. "Mizore you're kind of choking me!" Tsukune exclaimed as she was pulling his clothing against his neck tightly. "I know Tsukune, I can hardly breathe myself, but it's alright it'll make sense when we get back to my place..." Mizore told Tsukune, which immediately made him think of her Dad and his haunting form standing over him.

Oh no...

Kasano was carrying two hot mugs of hot cocoa, to Luise, as she had a purple fuzzy coat wrapped around her, with her shaking. Kasano smiled as he sat besides her handing her a mug of cocoa, as he held his looking at the snowy slopes. Kasano took a quick drink, as he stopped seeing Luise drink her cocoa... like a cat, licking the Cocoa. Luise stopped seeing Kasano just stare, she giggled feeling embarrassed before sipping from it.

"Sorry, force of habit... with Cocoa..." Luise said as she wiped her lips from the cocoa. Kasano gently rubbed her cheek leaning in to Luise and locking lips with her. Luise's tail snuck out of her jeans while her cat ears appeared. "Kasano, you're being so affectionate... what's gotten into you?" Luise asked giggling as she drank some more of her Cocoa.

"Just, it's nice being with someone this close..." Kasano replied while he drank his steaming hot Cocoa, not even phasing him. Seeing Kasano down it that quickly her eyes widened. "Doesn't that burn you?" She asked worried for Kasano.

"Please I'm a dragon, that doesn't even phase me..." Kasano boasted while Luise snuggled up to him. "Hey Kasano... ?" Luise looked at Kasano, while he looked at Luise as she closed in for the kiss. "My love... my heart beats for you... even if I'll never get your father's blessing I'm yours forever..." Luise said with a happy expression, and tears traveling down her cheeks.

Kasano smiled as he hugged his girlfriend, he stopped to see his father who had his hood lowered, appear right in front of the bench. "Hey dad..." Kasano said to Michael, while Luise flipped out jumping on Kasano's lap, hearing that. "Kasano... I need to speak with you..." Michael told his son. "Nah Uh! You want to talk to Kasano you talk to him with your future daughter in law!" Luise said pointing an angry finger at Michael. Kasano stood up from the bench, but Michael groaned hearing that. "Fine..." Michael said under breath.

"Kul. .. I'll kos nusaan fah vogaan omaar, fey het ahrk don't daal zek wah mindaziir erei Zu'u daal. " (Son... I'll be gone for a few hours, stay here and don't return back to the academy until I return.) Michael said to Kasano in the Dragon tongue as he didn't want Luise to go blab about what he was talking about.

"Fos? . .. druv? bo nau? " (What? ... why? What's going on?) Kasano replied back in the same language.

Michael looked at the ground, as he knew he didn't want to worry him about the early arrival of his apprentices. Michael just moved over and hugged his son, which caused Kasano's eyes widened as that was unexpected.

"Bormah? " (Father?) Kasano asked in confusion and with a hint of worry.

"Guur Kul, I'll koraav hi das. ." (Good bye son, I'll see you soon.) With in an instant Michael disappeared in a black smoke.

The soft sound of snow crunching beneath boots filled the wide open space of deep snow, trees, encased by the view of beautiful mountains and clear blue skies. The six foot two inch marine walks alongside the five foot two inch owl girl, whom was bundled up in her blackened robe, the wolf to her side walked with a straight back, wearing only a grey T-shirt that fit his form...he hadn't packed much in the way of weather wear, not that he exactly needed it, being a wolf and such, he was naturally inclined to colder temperatures. his hands are inside of his pockets as they go along on their walk, the village a fair distance behind them as they wanted to 'get away' for a little while. Liz breaks the silence with "aren't you cold?" To which he'd respond with a grin and chuckle "Nah..why..are you?..We can head back and get you set by a fire with some t-" She'd smile and shake his head at his concern. " No no... I'm fine right here." His grin would fade and be replaced with a soft smile. She'd pull an arm out of her robe and slug his shoulder, a small blush on her cheeks. "Quit lookin at me like that..." her voice would trail off for a minute "it's embarrassing..." He'd let out a hearty laugh and bump his hip into her side "Oh hush you, you know you love me embarrassing you." She'd puff her cheeks out and watch him walk ahead a little while she slows down. An evil idea brewing inside her mind, she'd bend down and grab a snowball quietly, his right ear would twitch, but he'd continue his walking, a grin on his face...when the ball of snow was airborne, he'd duck to the left, and turn to grin at her, only to be met with a second snowball square in the face. "BOOM! Gotcha!" She lets out a giggle covering her mouth, when her eyes open from her giggle, a similar situation happens with her, a snowball hits her in the face as well " euh!" she lets out as she is struck, she blinks and lets the snow fall from her face...she blinks a few times surprised by the attack and the cold feeling, she looks at him, then inhales a few times, before sneezing, he quickly walks over to her, muttering 'sorry' a few times, brushing a few pieces of snow off her face, feeling a bit bad now.

Second Earth/ Golden Imperial Territory/ Lealthin Household

Alice was sharpening her sword as she was resting at her homestead before the next major assignment, she stopped sharpening her sword as she felt a pull of energy near her. "Alice..." Michael called out to her, who immediately shot up from her chair turning around seeing Michael her old love interest. She didn't even say anything, she just rushed towards him hugging him and kissing him. "You're ok... I thought something bad happened to you after you decided to make a comeback..." Alice said worried for Michael.

"Alice... I need to ask you something...it's important." Michael said to Alice, who was dragging him inside her house. "Whatever it is, it can wait... you need to rest, I seen that look on you, let me help you." Alice said to Michael trying to drag him to lay down. "Alice.. Where's Riley?" Alice froze hearing their daughter's name.

Alice stood still for a moment."She's doing some errands right now... she'll be back in the late afternoon." Alice fixed her purple hair sitting him down on the mattress. "Please Michael stay here for a while... I missed you..." Alice silently cried into his left shoulder.

"….. Ol vulon mah, ahrk krein alok. .. lokaal reyziin." (As the night falls, and the sun rises... love remains.) Michael spoke to Alice, who smiled hugging him. "You always had a way of words with me... " Alice said to Michael, as she wiped her tears away from her eyes. Michael lowered his hood as he turned towards Alice laying her down on her mattress. Alice gave off a shivering smile as she wrapped her arms around Michael's shoulders, as he began to make out with her.

Back at Yokai academy, the 34th Dark Legion arrived by lightning strikes across the sky, Dominic waved his hands in the sky causing black thick storm clouds to form. "We wait here... get in to position, the moment they arrive I will confront the apparition, then I'll order the attack... no one attacks with out my go!" Dominic ordered the 34th Dark Legion as they all nodded readying their weapons. As Rain poured from the thick black clouds the winds picked up and lightning commenced across the academy.

Madeline approached Dominic, as Dominic stood in silence, she put her left hand on his right shoulder. "It's not him, Dominic... it's a phantom insulting his memory.." Madeline tried to persuade her superior. Dominic exhaled in disappointment."Maybe... but I always hope somehow he pulled through... and survived his ambush...but it's a silly dream." Dominic swung his pole arm hitting the pole end on the ground as he stood his ground. "Get in to position..." Dominic ordered Madeline as she nodded fixing her hood jumping up and concealing herself in a tree.

Mizore opened her home's door, dragging Tsukune by his cloak, he was covered in snow and dumbfounded of what just happened. "Home sweet home, Tsukune." Mizore said as she knelt down kissing him on the forehead. Tsukune got up from the floor dusting the snow off of him, rubbing the back of his room had a very classical Japanese theme to the house, and bits of western from her father. "Mom! Dad! I'm home and I brought Tsukune!" Mizore called out to her parents out to greet the two. Tsurara smiled as she made a courtesy bow to Tsukune. "Welcome to our home Tsukune, I'm pleased to see you here with Mizore..." Tsurara closed her eyes and smiled as she tilted her head to the right signaling Tsukune to turn around seeing Mizore's father in that Knight Ice Armor, his face concealed behind a Ice helmet. He stood tall and threatening as he bent down looking at Tsukune in the eyes.

Tsukune looked directly at Mizore's father, trying to remain calm. Instead of bowing his head in respect, Tsukune held out his right hand offering a handshake."Uh... Good morning... Mr. Shirayuki ." The father looked at Tsukune's right hand, and extended his strongly if not crushing Tsukune's hand, with the handshake. Tsukune returned the gesture cracking the ice gauntlet, though it self repaired from the damage it took almost instantaneously. "Dear..." Tsurara appeared behind her husband, as he just released Tsukune's hand. "Now that that's over with... Tsukune dear we prepared breakfast and hope you'll partake in it..." She stated while Mizore gently dragged him to the living room, where the table was already set for breakfast.

Tsukune sat down by Mizore on a a very soft white cushion on the floor. Tsukune looked at the meal that was cooked for him... and or chilled seeing the many delicacies. "I prepared this meal just for you Tsukune, as we expected your arrival shortly with Mizore..." Tsurara stated, while Tsukune looked at Mizore, seeing a faint and shy smile. "Uh...Thank you very much... you guys didn't need to go out of your way to prepare something like this for me..." Tsukune said to Tsurara. "Nonsense, this is you we're talking about, Mizore's boyfriend." Tsurara said dishing Tsukune up on a crystal plate.

Tsukune looked at Mizore's father, as his helmet was faced towards him."So... does he not like me, because he hasn't said a word either of the time we met..." Tsukune asked Tsurara. "Oh that's just him, he's the strong silent type, doesn't talk in public." Tsurara explained to Tsukune. "Oh well what's his name?" He asked while Mizore grabbed Tsukune's plate adding shaved ice next to his cooked hash browns.

"Erik... He wasn't originally from this region..." Tsurara stated, telling Tsukune her husband's name, while she carefully poured Tsukune hot cocoa. She handed Tsukune the white mug, which Tsukune accepted it. "Where is he from then?" He asked taking a big drink from the hot cocoa. "Siberia, South East Russia... His town is very well hidden from Human eyes, as it's constantly bombarded with blizzards." Tsurara rubbed Erik's armor gently feeling the coldness of his armor. "He came to this village, as to see other villages that were like his." Tsurara leaned up from her pillow, kissing his helmet. Mizore held Tsukune's left hand with her right. Tsurara smiled seeing her daughter bond with Tsukune through the crystal glass table. "We do hope you enjoy your stay here at our homestead Tsukune..." Tsurara said to Tsukune as he smile and nodded before replying. "I will, thank you for your hospitality." Tsukune thanked Tsurara for the hospitality she provided for him.

Tsurara saw Tsukune dig into his meal, enjoying every bite of it."and now the 'talk'..." Tsurara said to Tsukune, causing him to stop eating as he had no idea what the 'talk' was . "Ummm what?" Tsukune asked placing his ice crystal ware down. "Now Tsukune... Mizore has told us a lot about you... and we know you're bonded with her... " Tsurara stated, causing Tsukune to internally implode.

Oh no...

"We both want to know..." Tsurara started out while both Erik and Tsurara stood up from their seats.

Here it comes!...

Tsurara got on Tsukune's left side while, Erik on his right side. "How many babies do you plan to have with our daughter Mizore?" Tsurara was completely blunt about it.

What...

Tsukune froze for a mid second, while Mizore sighed shaking her head in embarrassment. "Mom..." Mizore said in sheer embarrassment. "Now Mizore this is extremely important, as it is important for a woman as yourself to have as many children as possible." Tsurara stated while Erik had his left hand on Tsukune's right shoulder practically crushing it.

Mizore stood up, looking at her parents."Guys you're making Tsukune uncomfortable..." She stated while Tsukune had a look of pure... shock, still trying to process those words coming from Tsurara's mouth. "Mizore dear, we're only concerned for your future is all..." Tsurara told Mizore, walking over to her and hugging her daughter. Tsukune while still in shock could hear something... no not hear something more like feel it... there was a pull of energy, he didn't know what to make of it, or he did and was too scared to even think about who it or they could be. Shaking his head, he cleared his mind only to hear Mizore and her mother continue to talk while Erik stood right by his wife.

Yukari was marching along in the thick snow trying to get on top of a nice slope where she could slide down, Alexis followed, she had a very soothing smile as she enjoyed the cold chill in the wind. "Geez! This snow is thick!" Yukari complained as she had trouble trying to keep one foot ahead of the other. Yukari fell into the mound of snow, leaving Alexis to pick her up from the snow, placing her back on solid enough snow. "Thanks Alexis, this terrain wants to eat me up and turn me into a popsicle!" Yukari shivered from the temperature decreasing.

Alexis smiled as she walked by Yukari nearing the hill."The cold isn't that bad, when I was little I lived up in the frozen alps on the Second Earth, before I moved in to the Imperial Palace on the First Fortress, where my Uncle and Aunt took me in." Alexis remembered all the good times she had at the First Fortress. "I... I never asked about them, you mentioned them a dozen times in that weird Timed Dimension... what are they?" Yukari asked Alexis about her aunt and uncle, though Alexis remained silent for a few moments. "…... My Uncle was a King of a great Empire, a Golden Empire... King Crad Valic... and his loving queen and wife Alexis Valic... I was named after my aunt, held some notable resemblance to my aunt... since my Uncle was the King, I was declared to be a crowned Princess in the realm..."

Yukari's eyes glimmered with excitement. "You're Royal?! You got a Uncle and Aunt who is King and Queen?!" Yukari exclaimed with even more excitement hearing Alexis's history. "Was Yukari, before my Uncle could realize his dream, he fell ill from an old wound.. And died shortly after leaving my Cousin, to inherit the throne... my Aunt was never really the same after Crad's passing she... passed away from the grief fifty years later..." Alexis sat on a boulder thinking way back in the era of the Golden Empire. "Oh... I'm sorry Alexis..." Yukari hugged Alexis's right arm holding it tight against her body. "It's alright... I grieved..." Alexis replied rubbing Yukari's head gently.

"Did your Uncle try to marry you off?" Yukari asked Alexis, seeing as she read about Royals doing that all the time in history lessons. "Huh? Oh yeah, My uncle wanted me to recognize me as a Valic and not a Veelra... and of course that could be made two ways by his decree or by uh marriage... I had a few contenders that my uncle had out for me, though his first choice was his eldest son... my cousin Jon... who is currently King right now.." Hearing that her actual Uncle would marry her off to his own son, caused her to stick out a tongue in disgust. "Ewww Blech!" Yukari vocally showed distaste of that idea. "With your own Cousin?!" She exclaimed.

"Heh... settle down Yukari, on the Second Earth that's not really taboo... Human Dragons aren't like Humans in the essence of breeding... you see through genetics there is a certain leeway it gives to our species... while true a Cousin marrying another Cousin would risk the possibility of a defect, Dragons have actually a gene in us that protects us from defects to a certain limit... so there would be no risks if I married my cousin... now this will only work for so long as you don't keep doing it in the family line, then you're just risking it... Now Elder Dragon descendants are a completely different story... they can even take a step closer and well... marry their half sibling without any repercussions... The Elder Dragon Gene immediately carries on to the child, unaffecting it's genetic code... though again it has limits, they can't do it twice, the half siblings children can't mate with eachother, or it will spawn a defect they have to mate outside the family.. "

Yukari's head was practically spinning hearing all this information."Well did you go through with it?" Yukari asked Alexis, as she shook her head. "I had eyes... on another man, and my Uncle very much approved of my choice..." Yukari was now interested in who this mysterious man was. "Come on spill it... who was he?" Yukari poked Alexis in the chest, trying to get her to tell her his name.

Alexis looked down at Yukari's smile, as she tried to get the answer out."Michael..." Alexis stated, while Yukari's jaw dropped, hearing that. "W-what?!" She shouted in shock, trying to figure out why, or how even did that even get in to her mind. "He shot me down, when he was still in mourning about his master... he wasn't looking to attach himself to people, which broke my heart... and on that night is when my Uncle was on his deathbed." Alexis tried not to think about it, trying to remember a happier time, rather than death and rejection. "Do you still love him?" Yukari asked Alexis looking up to her, it took Alexis a moment to think that question through... she followed him to his last dying breath, risked everything to preserve him, yet deep down inside of her, she'd always wonder if there is ever a possibility of the two actually being together.

Michael sat up from Alice's bed, fixing his hood as he looked down on the ground... taking a moment for himself to collect his thoughts. Alice shortly awoke feeling the bed shake slightly, she turned around putting an arm around Michael's waist. "Why don't you come back to bed Michael? You know I'm still naked..." Alice enticed Michael which he responded patting her on the head, which led to her to puff out her cheeks. "Mom! I'm back!" Riley yelled out causing Michael to cock his head to the right towards the living room. "You won't believe it, the errands I had, yeah if errands involved blood and fighting then yeah, great errands!" Riley yelled out again kicking her boots off one at a time and feeling the hardwood floor through her socks. Alice was about to get out of bed, to better prepare Riley, to meet her father, but Michael held out his right hand stating he had it covered.

Grabbing his sheathed blade he strapped it to his back, and moved in to the living room, he saw Riley removing her black cloak and hanging it on a coat rack. "Furthermore if they planned for an ambush, then the Crimson Dominon had better train it's troops to—"Riley immediately stopped talking as when she turned around she saw Michael with his hood raised by her mother's room. Riley's heart began to pick up as she can feel the amount of spiritual energy the intruder had. As Riley's stance slowly began to change, Michael lowered his hood, to get a better look at his daughter, she had the Guardian attire, with some accessories... and the same color of hair as her mother's. Following Michael revealing his face to Riley, her heart skipped a beat... there was no doubt, he had the same exact face and attire in the photos. "D-Dad?" Riley choked out, tears welling up in her eyes as she made her way towards Michael rushing towards him.

Riley grabbed and hugged her father as tight as she could letting loose a barrage of tears, relieved to see him alive. Michael was hesitant at first but slowly wrapped his arms around his daughter's back. "It's good to finally meet you Riley..." Michael said to Riley, followed by Riley sniffling and wiping the tears from her eyes. "No kidding... I...I.. I never thought I'd see you... in the flesh... they say you died..." Riley was just so happy to see her father.

"… Riley I need you to do something for me... it's imparitive that you don't tell anyone, not the Guardian Council, not the Sentinels, not the Golden Inquisition or the Golden Empire, and not even your mother... " Michael quietly told his daughter.

Riley of course stood at attention as what he was about to tell her sounded serious enough to put someone in great jeopardy or something..."O-of course, name it dad and I'll see to it." She replied back with the same volume of voice her father had.

Kyoko scaled several pipes across the catwalk of a rundown industrial plant, she moved quickly and as quietly as she could before moving to her next point.

"Jon I'm in position..." She said through the telekinetic intercom.

"That's good, I can see you now... alright what do you see?" Jon asked Kyoko as he was getting ready to move in with his brothers.

Kyoko looked down at the line of children being processed, she could hear the faint talking down below her. "Is this the one?" She heard a male voice, it held pride and assurance. "No..." A female voice responded to the supposed ringleader. "Next!" A Necromancer yelled out moving the young child who was in a green hoodie and long pants. Kyoko looked at the child as he was being moved into a dark room.

"Jon... they're taking the children in to a dark room on the opposite side of the room..." She said as she aimed her Long Rifle at the room.

"… Kyoko, that's second priority, we need to find the 8th Wielder or none of this will matter" Jon said as he was concentrated on the task.

Kyoko's heart felt heavy as not doing anything, caused her to nearly bite her tongue. "I see room at the far end of the shipping area... it looks like where they're holding the …. non processed children, west of your position, do you see it?" She asked Jon, who at the time was peeking out of cover to see the room she was pointing to.

"Perfect, alright... here's what's going to happen... We're going to turn on every light in the main facility, startling them... in the midst of confusion, we're going to charge in, while you provide sniper fire... try to hit Miotis. "Jon ordered Kyoko as he was readying himself, drawing his blade.

"Roger, and once they're in route, and we have the crest we get the kids out he's holding?" She asked Jon, since her priority of getting everyone out of the Necromancer's clutches.

"Yes, fast and effective..." Jon replied as he signaled Max to raise the lights.

Within seconds the barely lit facility in the loading docks, began to flare up, the Necromancers immediately drew their weapons, as they didn't order any activation of lights.

Several energy like attacks hit the main dock on the Necromancer's position, with their elites scrambling to converge on the loading dock. Kyoko aimed down on the sights of her Beretta 50. Cal, taking a deep breath as she laid down on the pipes. Shots echoed the docking facility as soon as Kyoko knew it, she already wasted a magazine, prompting her to immediately reload. Several headshots and two bullets hitting their hearts. She could see Jon, Link, Max, and Brody entangled and fighting with the Necromancers. Brody broke through tackling Miotis to the ground punching him twice before grabbing him and throwing him on his makeshift throne. Miotis was immediately surrounded by the Elite Necromancer warriors, as he laughed. "Fools! Did you honestly think that you'd be able to defeat me here?! HAHAHAHAHA! This is just our first base! We'll continue it in another as you scramble to find us!" Miotis disappeared along with his bodyguard detachment. Jon tried to grab him, as he disappeared, making him fall over the crates. "NO!" Jon shouted seeing their chance to stop him and get the crest failed.

Brody scratched his head, chuckling, then laughing like a crazy person. Jon snapped his head in Brody's direction. "Why the FUCK?! ARE YOU LAUGHING?!" Jon snapped at his younger brother. Brody shifted his right ring finger causing the crest of light attached to a golden chain seep through the space and hang from the very same finger."Going to be hard for him to find the 8th Wielder, now that he lost his only playing card to find him/her." Brody stated, while Jon and the others on the ground cheered patting Brody on the back and shoulders, stating he did a good job.

"Alright let's get the children held in the facilty the fuck out of here, dumbass Necromancers didn't know how to effectively operate the crest... if they did all they needed to know is concentrate the Spiritual Energy towards the crest to locate the child.." Jon laughed seeing the Necromancers had little to no information about how the Wielder's operated the crests, or how to use the crest to locate the wielder.

As the Guardians immediately made a mad dash to the holding area, however Kyoko didn't follow them she immediately made her way towards the dark room, where the child was taken to be processed. Taking out her G-11 she activated the light on the side of the rifle. "Hello, are you kids alright?". She heard nothing but the haunting silence. Kyoko stopped moving as she winced hearing a squishing bubbling noise. Kyoko pointed her flashlight towards the floor, her heart skipped a beat, seeing blood and chunks of what looked like flesh. Kyoko shifted to the left and right trying to spot any captives, she looked up pointing her flash light up seeing a a long pipe. Grabbing a black rope out of her pack and a red flare she lit the flare and tied it to the rope swinging it wrapping it around the pipe below the ceiling. As the flare dangled and hung from the rope she saw the room began to illuminate a bright red. Hey eyes widened as it adjusted to her surroundings... chunks of corpses everywhere... clothing splattered in blood, chains hanging from the ceiling with hooks stuck in to what looked like the remains of corpses. She pointed her weapon in all directions looking at this slaughter... none of these bodies were whole, they were mutilated, butchered, blood and entrails everywhere.

Kyoko's mind began to play tricks on her as she could hear faint screaming as what took place here, she knew what 'Processing' meant... this was the result.. Tears streamed down her face seeing this nightmare from Hell. A blood stained stuffed white rabbit fell from a skinned arm, causing her to throw up seeing more and more of the room. She backed up hitting someone, she turned around to see Jon... his expression neutral and his eyes seemed... emotionless. "Kyoko..." He said as she immediately hugged his form, crying in to his chest. "Oh my God! Jon! They, They murdered them! Butchered them! They were children! WHY?!" Kyoko screamed at Jon, crying her eyes out.

Jon looked at the scene before him as the flare continued to illuminate a large chunk of the room."Necromancers have no morals, Kyoko... they use anything at their disposal and will go to any lengths to find out what line they can cross... this is just the one of many atrocities they committed." Jon told Kyoko of what the Necromancers are truly capable of. "Why did they do this?! Why put them in a room and kill them!?" She asked crying in to his chest. "They conducted their experiments... operated on them, butchered and mangled them..." Jon said seeing a mangled corpse with most of it's flesh seared off, barely recognizable.

A gurgled noise could be heard on the far end to the room, Kyoko's eyes widened as she thought that was a survivor. Letting go of Jon quickly as she turned around aiming her flashlight down the room"Jon someone's alive!" She said causing Jon to reach out for her quickly. "Kyoko wait!" He said grabbing her arm. "I have to save them!" Kyoko cried as Jon conjured a ball of light throwing it towards the direction, revealing, what made that noise. At the end of the room, was hundreds of grotesque looking creatures, with morphed into abominations.."W-What?" She said in disbelief, her eyes glared at the hundreds of creatures. "Those fuckers are the one who butchered them!" She said aiming down her rifle on the creatures. Jon lowered her rifle, causing her head to snap towards him."Kyoko... those are the kids.." Hearing that she shook her head, refusing to believe it. "No, no, no, no, no, NO, NO! You're lying, that can't be true!" She cried out, looking back seeing the morbid looking faces, and noticed that none of the remains on the ground had heads, or remnants of skulls.

"They turned them in to those creatures..." Jon said to Kyoko as the creatures started to either crawl, limp, or stagger towards them. Kyoko said nothing as she rushed out of the room, tears streaming down her cheeks. Jon followed her out shutting and putting a metal pipe between the door's handles keeping it shut, while multiple pounding on the metal door and scratches, while they heard screeching, groaning, roaring, and what seemed to be an agonizing shouts.

"Jon, the kids have been moved out of the factory, and Kari is with the others... did you find the kids in processing?" Brody asked Jon through his earpiece. "Yeah... we did.." Jon said, in un positive tone in his voice. "Oh...We'll wait for you two..." Brody said to Jon.

"Brody... get away from the factory, get far away... We'll meet up with you momentarily." He said to Brody.

"….. I understand."

Jon looked at Kyoko as she marched angrily to a gas valve, she hit the valve with her rifle breaking it, and causing the gas to make a hissing noise, as she moved to the next tank doing the same. Before Jon could approach her she looked at him with blood shot eyes and a rage filled expression."I'm going to burn this place to the fucking ground!" She told Jon, hitting another gas valve, while Jon approached her, as she moved to the next gas valve. She turned to face him, with the same expression. "Don't stop me!" She shouted at Jon, but Jon didn't stop her, she saw him going to her valve ripping it off. She nodded and smiled as she hit the next one while Jon ripped off the other tank right by her's with his Dragon strength. The room began to fill up with gas, Kyoko however was not done, she moved over to oil barrels unsealing the lids to each one and pushing them over causing oil to spill out all over the floor, her eyes darted towards the processing room, where the door was being dented and chipped as the experiments tried to get out.

Jon approached Kyoko grabbing her by the waist with his right arm pulling her towards the exit, he approached the electrical pannel slamming his elbow on it causing to spark and shootout electrical sparks, with a black electrical cord hung out discharging electricity. Jon opened up the metal door slamming it shut behind them, Kyoko made her way forward ahead of Jon keeping her back towards the building as she walked away, with in seconds the factory exploded igniting in a flaming inferno, she stopped as Jon caught up to her, seeing her tighten her fists as she just stared off towards Tokyo. "Kyoko?" Jon called out to her as he stood by her right side looking at her face. She started to sniffle, her eyes welled up with fresh tears and her mouth began to quiver. Moments later she broke down into tears, crying as more explosions happened at the raging inferno.

She cried as hard and as loud as she could over the roaring flames, knowing what happened in there. Kyoko fell to her knees crying out and moving her hands to wipe the tears out of her eyes, as they kept leaking down. Jon knelt down by her wrapping his left arm around her, as she leaned against him trying to find it in her to cry even louder, of all those kids that were kidnapped, were mutilated and turned in to grotesque creatures. Several Gas tanks could be heard rupturing and exploding in the raging inferno, while all Kyoko wanted to do was cry, her time spent in the Timed Dimension, didn't help her to cope with what she just saw in the processing room. She wanted to just go back, and be ignorant of all she knows, though another part wanted to go back and stop the slaughter before it even happened... though she was trapped in the present, scarred for seeing such an atrocity... and more yet to come.
