Chapter 42

Somewhere, a pale man walked down the halls of the large structure, his blood red eyes scanning the entire room slowly. There was blood on the pedestal, and he knew whom it was from. He need not guess. He had sensed the child's power rise, and had gone over to see what had happened. Apparently, it had worked. With a sigh, he raked a hand through his flame shaped mane, pitch black with red strakes through it. The scar on his face was still there, like it had been for all those eons.

He was the eldest of all Dragonians, more than 100 million years of age. He had lost count over the years, but it didn't really bother him anymore. He looked at the statue in the center, where the relics were still held by seven of the creatures. The last was simply holding his weapon. He scoffed. The statue had been put there after everyone in Chronopolis had been slain.

He shook his head in disappointment. Those humans had been so foolish. Could they not see the stupidity of the things they did? You cannot control the stream of Time. Time-travel is possible, but Time-control was not meant to be controlled by humans. And that's what they were for. They were meant to protect Time, to prevent it from being controlled or misused.

Even they had no control over Time. And that was how it was supposed to stay.

Vegeta hurled his axe at the Sky Dragon, but Sky easily blocked the blade with his own, before lashing out. He missed, and Vegeta tried again. The next hit didn't connect either, and Sky lashed out sideways. It hit part of Vegeta's clothes, but didn't hit his flesh. The Deva growled and lunged out, but missed yet again. The next swing was blocked by the Masamune, and Sky tried to push him aside, but Vegeta wouldn't have it. He continued to lash out at Sky, whom continued to block and attack at the same time.

Terra clapped her wings with mighty force, and took the air. With a few claps of her wings, she was on her way to Chronopolis. She wouldn't miss this for the world.

Suddenly, Sky had to block a hit from Bulma's dagger, as well as a lash from Vegeta's axe. He couldn't block both, so he jumped up and flipped away from them. Bulma growled, and shot at the Dragon and fast. Sky blocked the girl's dagger and jumped aside to avoid the next blow. Bulma tried again, and this time, she hit him. The blade whooshed past the Dragon's hip, reopening the wound Asoret had caused in their previous battle with him. Sky winced, and kneed Bulma in her guts, before knocking her aside.

Pyro stormed out of Mt. Pyre, and shot off into the sky, after which she set course for the Time Fortress. The time has come.

Sky cried out as a Stone Sword slashed his left arm open, making blood spill from the large wound. Goku took this chance, and managed to lash out again. This time it hit the Dragon's face. The left side was torn apart. Sky bared his teeth with a furious snarl, and lashed out at the Dragoon, who cartwheeled away. When Goku was back to his feet, he got down to one knee, held both sides of his sword in his hands, and easily blocked Sky's downward slash. Goku kicked him, hard, before grabbing the Dragon's shirt, placing his feet in the Dragon's stomach and hauling him over him.

Flora dropped the bellflowers unceremoniously on the ground, and launched herself up into the air. Her once cute eyes were scrunched down as she shot off toward Chronopolis.

Ancha hurriedly grabbed the cards from her gloves, and began to throw them at Sky. The Dragon hardly had time to react. The cards hit him hard, and lashed open part of the wounds he already had. He tried his best to avoid, but it didn't work.

Sky growled at Ancha, but she smiled and said in a teasing sing-song voice: "Nah-na na-na-nah!!" before hurling another batch of cards at the Dragon.

Douse ran past the fairies, and headed for the shore, where she took off without a moment of thought. She flipped through the air and finally set her course.

Asoret shot an arrow at the Dragon, who finally managed to avoid. Asoret stomped his foot in anger, then shot toward the Dragon. Sky blocked the blow from Asoret, who scowled, and whirled around, kicking Sky to the wound on his waist. Sky cried out, then growled and punched Asoret to his jaw. Asoret shook his head, and relocated his jaw, before shooting back at Sky. Sky ducked and blocked the swing to his head, then placed his open palm on Asoret's abdomen. Asoret was shot away, and landed quite quickly. Asoret shook his head and rubbed the ice from his clothes.

'How'd he do that?? I didn't see him use Elements.'

Kari suddenly tapped the Dragon on his shoulder and delivered him a right hook to his jaw the second he turned around. The girl cooed loudly as the Dragon got to his feet. Sky growled and shot into the air. Once in the sky, he folded his wings tightly around himself and dropped. Kari watched it, confused, until Sky's wings shot open and he altered course. The cavegirl never had a chance as Sky punched her in her gut. Sky then sucker-punched her to her chin, sending her away.

A sharp kick to his spine sent the Dragon flying, before he whirled around to meet his assailant. Hope smirked and held up both her blades as she blew some white and black strands of hair from her face. Her color-shifting eyes sparked with a strange energy. With a strong leap, Hope was catapulted into the air, and managed to land a strong kick to the Sky Dragon's face. Sky landed with a grunt.

Mura's wings clapped open without a warning, and clapped down, lifting him a few feet off of the ground. He lifted his head and shot off into the sky.

Sky jumped up and easily avoided Grobyc, who had tried to hit him. Grobyc scowled and locked in on the Dragon with relative ease. His left hand retracted and three thin, metal plates came out to form something like a mixer, only this was deadlier. Purple energy gathered, and was easily shot at the Dragon in a beam of light. Only this time, more than once. Sky cried out in shock as the blasts hit him one by one, before he reflected one and sent the cyborg away.

Same shook her head tiredly and sat up without anyone's notice. She stood up and watched the battle before her unfold, for this would seal the future of the planet.

Elvor and Laze growled in anger, looked at each other, nodded, and turned back to the Dragon.

Elvor was surrounded by bright white sparks, before he hollered: "DASH&SLASH!!!!"

He raced at the Dragon and slashed him clear across the wound on his waist, making the Dragon cry out. Black sparks instantly surrounded Laze.

"GLIDEHOOK!!!" she hollered, and jumped into the air.

She whirled around, then whooshed down with a loud clashing move as her scythe hit its destined spot.

Sky grabbed the wound on his side, with a painful look on his face. The two teens hurriedly ran back to the group, looking rather satisfied.

"Not bad," Hope mumbled.

"Thanks," Elvor said.

Sky straightened up, Masamune still in his hand. That's when Bulma noticed something.

"EEEP!! SAME'S BACK UP!!!" she shouted, pointing toward the other Dragon.

Same simply scoffed, not seeming to bother at all. She just stood there with the Einlanzer in her hand.

He gave a nod when he figured all other Dragons were heading to the fort. Soon, the battle for the world would start.

"Damn!!" Sky cursed angrily, still holding the wound on his side.

"Ya need some help?" Same asked, for some odd reason seeming rather calm.

And she somehow seemed to tolerate Sky a lot more then before.

"What does it look like?!" Sky hissed through clenched teeth.

Same didn't bother with it and calmly strode over to him. She pulled him upright and removed his hand.

"Ouch, tha must've smart!" Same muttered after inspecting the wound.

Sky hissed in pain.

"No shit, Sherlock! Just get it over with!!"

"Yeah, yeah, hold yer seahorses!!" Same said, then placed her whole hand over the wound, making Sky flinch.

Blue energy gathered at the Black Dragon's palm, and soon spread across the other Dragon's body. Pretty soon, Sky was back to his own feet, without the help of Same.

"We beat you both," Vegeta said, and the Dragons turned to him in confusion. "So give us the Station Pass. Unless we need to beat you up some more."

Same growled and nearly stormed straight at Vegeta, hadn't Sky grabbed her arm. The Black Dragon turned to him. Sky shook his head softly. Same growled again, but stood her distance, crossing her arms across her chest.

"I told you, you take this all too lightly. You think it's easy?! Think your life is tough?! You should've seen that of Ciria then!!"

Everyone who knew of Ciria looked horrified.

"Mademoiselle Ciria? What doez zhe 'ave zo do wit' zis?" Ancha asked.

"Why don't ya bloody ask her!?!?" Same screamed and Sky desperately tried to hold her back.

"She shoul' be able ta tell ya wha happened in the future!! LEMME GO BUSHHEAD!!!!" Same screamed at Sky, and tried to get loose.

"Same!! Calm down already!!!" Sky whispered in her ear.

Same wouldn't listen.

"I SAID LEMME GO!!!" Same screamed, and Bulma gasped as she began to remember.

"I SAID LEMME GO YA MOTHERFUCKIN' BASTARDS!!!! LE---AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!"

Same's screams echoed all over the battlefield as her heart was ripped from her body. The human-shaped robot grinned sadistically, its black hair waving violently through the wind. The robots released the Dragon and the lifeless body dropped to the ground, her once indescribable eyes, white and empty.

"Get moving already!!" the young looking Green Dragon shouted, pushing her away.

The girl stumbled back, but stopped to try and help.

"I wanna help!" she shouted in anger.

"Look! We already lost Same! We don't want to lose you too!!" Mura screamed, before he clapped his wings loudly and shot up into the air.

"Goddamnit!!" Pyro screamed. "You've gone too far now you bitch!!!"

With that, she and the others left.

"WAIT!!!" she shouted as she watched the remaining seven Dragon Gods fly off.

She really wanted to help.

She pulled the trigger one more time, her silver eyes empty and cold as ice. She was 12, and finished off the last of the robots that had killed the Dragon Gods, the only ones who had ever seen her as family after her family had abandoned them. Revenge had been served. Only one of them had gotten away. She'd get him though. She was about to leave, when she was surrounded by a strange green glow, which spread across the entire battlefield.

Same: "Who are ye? Ye're a new face here."

Flora: "I like you! You're cute!"

Terra: "You look awful. You can stay with us until you feel better.

Pyro: "God, you were out for quite some time, what happened?"

Douse: "You just appeared in the Dead Sea out of nowhere."

Sky: "A ruin from the future? Impressive."

Mura: "What happened to make it so… ruined?"

????: "Stop bombarding her with questions. Let her rest for now."

Others: "Alright."

She gasped as she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, before she fell on the ground. The world became fuzzy. She knew she was dying.

She was staring at a ceiling, when Same's voice sounded. The others were there too, and they talked like they didn't know she could hear them. Then she felt a pull on her body, and she felt like she shrunk, before she felt nothing.

"Ciria is dead," Elvor said with a harsh voice.

"Like Bloody Hell she is!!" Same hollered.

Bulma looked from one to another, not quite knowing what to do.

Will you quiet down? There are more important matters to take care off, a strange voice said, coming from seemingly out of nowhere.

Same was silent almost instantly and stood back upright.

Listen humans, if you desire to break the eternal chains of Fate, show that you are ready by defeating the two strongest Dragons at the same time! the same voice said and the two Dragons grabbed their weapons.

The Einlanzer and the Masamune.

Here we go Mune!!

Ready big brother!!

The black katana Elvor was holding shone brighter than before.

You two are HISTORY!!

Get ready to DIE!!

Oh hallelujah! No good.

Reviews:

The Mad Orange: You read all 41 chapters in one night?! Whoa! Well, I'm glad you like it! Anyway, if you're going to play Chrono Cross in the near future, I suggest you keep your eyes peeled for a pattern here. Because it's something you'll need in the end of Chrono Cross, but it will also be used in the sequel to this story. AND, you have to play Chrono Trigger to understand that the Dragons (in the game) are lying!! You'll see why. But about your question. I know a few more like those. Mostly, the gang only uses their own techs, or the opposite color of the enemy. I guess I didn't have enough enemies with a Blue Innate. Oh well.

Ciria: Glad you like the song! It's one of my favorite tunes from Chrono Cross! Yep! And it already happened! And yes, that was the Masamune! The shaman?? Yeah, Hope fights with them too, but it's not just her! Ooooookay! Gotcha!

cat421: How 'bout this chapter?

Bulma BriefsYue Lover: I'm afraid I don't have too much time. I almost have this story finished and I want to start with the sequel as soon as I can. Though I'm not too sure what to put it under, because it's no B/V get-together, and hasn't much DBZ in it. I'll probably just put it under B/V romance, but I'll warn people in the beginning or something, I'll just have to wait.

1. Earth Dragon Isle - Terra, the Earth Dragon

2. Water Dragon Isle - Douse, the Water Dragon

I already told this, but if people desire for me to write a side-story about all couples [lemon style] please tell and I'll see what I can do. I'm not that good at lemons, but that's my own opinion. Also, if you know another couple you'd like to read a lemon about from this story, do tell. [Dragons are allowed as well.]
