Chapter 48

"No… how could you!?" FATE whispered. "FATE… The Goddess Of FATE… wasn't meant to die!"

Hope growled and ran over.

"Put a sock in it!!!" she hollered, and kicked FATE hard in her face, and a strange fifth appendage tore the Mastermune from the 'Goddess's' chest.

That's when everyone noticed that Hope had a Dragon tail!!

"Wha kinda God woul' go out and murder innocent people!? Ye're no God!! Ye're a MONSTER!!!" Hope hollered.

"……You'll… pay… for this!" FATE hissed, and died.

Hope took the Mastermune from her own tail, and walked over to Laze, bending down beside her.

"Hey! Wake up already!" Hope mumbled, shaking Laze by her shoulder.

"Wha??" Laze mumbled, opening her eyes partly. "Wha happened?"

"FATE's dead. Nice goin' there!" Hope said with a smile, and pulled the half-conscious girl to her feet.

Laze threatened to fall over, but Hope easily steadied her.

"Nice move ya pulled there! I'm pretty sure me mother coul'n't have done betta!"

Hope said sheathing the Mastermune in Laze's sheath. Asoret frowned for a moment.

"Who is your mother anyway?" he asked.

Hope looked at him and said: "Same, why?"

Almost everyone jawdropped simultaneously.

"SAME'S your mother?!" Bulma demanded.

Once Laze cleared the cobwebs from her head, she asked: "She is??"

"Yeah, wha's so hard ta believe 'bout it?" Hope asked with a shrug.

The conversation ended abruptly when heartbeats began to sound, speeding up, and fast! Everyone looked around in confusion, until their eyes landed on the giant crystalline flame. It glowed in time with the heartbeats.

"Wha the Bloody Hell?!" Laze exclaimed.

Terra: "FATE has fallen!"

Pyro: "FATE has died!"

Flora: "The Eternal Chains Of Fate are broken!"

Douse: "Porre has been restored!"

Mura & Same: "The Arbiter's Seal has been broken!"

Sky: "The largest fire of all shall now be extinguished!"

????: "And Ultragon will be released!"

Just then, the flame shattered! The tubes containing the 7 orbs shattered as well, and they connected in a line of every Element Color. They floated upward, still connected, and began to spin around wildly, until a blast of colored lightning shot down from the center. The lightning bolt began to shape itself, slowly.

Suddenly a redheaded demi-human, cat-one, appeared in the room, and vanished in a rain of electric sparks, being absorbed by the yellow orb. Kicking open a window, a auburn haired woman dressed in a trenchcoat dropped in and vanished in a rain of fiery flames, which were absorbed by the red orb. A young looking Fairy with blonde hair suddenly appeared from out of nowhere, and evaporated in nothing but leaves and the wind, which was absorbed by the green orb. An Elf suddenly appeared from behind one of the machines, and smiled before changing into nothing but water, which was absorbed by the blue orb. Two Dragonians simply walked in, both with pure golden hair, before they evaporated into shadows and were absorbed by the black orb. Somewhere above them, sat a spiked redheaded Phoenix, who smirked, before being sucked into the white orb as nothing but light.

Another blast of colored lightning followed, and this time, it really formed something. Something that was Dragonian by the looks of it. All seven orbs then spiraled around, and vanished into the Dragonian's chest.

The Dragonian standing before them was… indescribable. His hair had all kinds of styles at once, smooth, spiked, and curled. His wings were absolutely large, he had large horns, and only had claws on his feet, not his hands. The robes he wore were stylish, and certainly not girlish in the least. From left to right, everything but his skin kept changing in a certain sequence. When he looked up, it was with a face that told you that you could trust him blindly. His eyes had every Innate color, and kept spinning around, making them indescribable.

He smiled, a smile that no one would ever forget.

"I must say, thank you, for breaking the Eternal Chains Of Fate, because those chains have kept me a prisoner, here in Chronopolis, for more than a thousand years," he said, with a voice you would never be able to describe.

"You-you're--Ultragon!!!" Bulma exclaimed.

"Yes, that would be me. And I suspect you have already met the entities I exist of."

"We did?" Hope questioned, one eyebrow raised.

Suddenly something flashed before their minds.

"What is it you want?!" he demanded angrily, curving his fingers, which held razor sharp claws that seemed to cut through anything.

"Hey Sky! Calm down already!!" Haelles said, folding his arms over his chest.

The man/Dragon, whom was obviously the Sky Dragon, looked at him and let his glare slide (partly).

"Oh! Terra! Stop taunting him already!!" Haelles said.

The Dragon, obviously named Terra, turned to Haelles and pouted.

"Awe! Phooey!! You're no fun!! You always have to ruin my fun!!" she complained, then seemed to cheer up. "Doesn't matter!"

She turned to the group in general.

"If you want my relic, you're going to have to beat me first! But I warn you! I'm not as easy as I look!!"

"You humans look rather tired, was it because of those Looganates?" she asked calmly.

"Uh… yeah, they kept sneaking up on us," Elvor said, which earned him a glare from Vegeta.

"Well, I'm not as heartless as to fight you when you're as exhausted as you are, so, what do you say I give you… about… 15 minutes?" the Dragon offered.

"Fine," Vegeta said.

"Hey, what's your name?" Goku suddenly asked.

The Dragon smiled, and said: "Douse."

"Wouldn't know. But I think that it'd be better if you fight me for the Red Relic before the girl dies."

Elvor, Ancha, Bulma and Vegeta looked at her, and noticed that Pyro was worried about the child as well.

"Alright."

Pyro smirked at Vegeta, and left the room.

Outside of the room, she turned to them.

"Although the girl's ill, I can't disobey the rules. Defeat me, and the relic will be yours. Now let's fight!!"

"You guys want the relics!! Right?!" the Green Dragon asked.

The five fighters nodded, and Kari did too, only slightly later. She had no clue to what was going on.

"Alright!! Name's Flora! I'm the Green Dragon!! The six of you against me, and you'll get the relic!! HYAA!!"

She jumped down, and the fight had started.

He looked at them with dark green eyes, and smirked, before it was gone.

"It's about time you arrived!" the Dragon said. "I am Mura, eldest of the Black Dragon Twins, although I'm not the strongest, I admit. But if you want to fight my sister, you'll have to get past me first!"

"Takes more than an Ultra Nova Element ta take 'em down, believe me," the woman said, crossing her hands over her chest.

"You… you're that woman who helped us at Arni once! Aren't you?!" Goku asked.

"Yep, that'd be me," the woman said with a nod. "It's been awhile, though. I'm Same, youngest o' the Black Dragon Twins. Pleased ta meetcha!" she said, giving them a rather formal bow.

Kari gave a firm nod and said: "Yeah. We did!"

The others nodded as well. Ultragon closed his eyes for a moment, his smile fading.

"Although FATE has died, many have suffered under Her wrath, many have died, among this was the person meant to keep the Arbiter safe from FATE. A clone of the eighth, and final entity, one you have known for almost… 900 years."

Laze looked confused at first, until she gasped. "Ye ain't talkin' 'bou---" she started.

She faltered, before finishing.

"Haelles??"

Everyone turned to Ultragon in shock. Ultragon nodded, and suddenly, something flashed before their eyes again.

The figure ran at him, and within seconds, a dagger was buried in his stomach, making him choke out blood that was starting to run through his windpipe. Haelles' eyes turned to face that of the figure, but the figure's eyes were as cold as ice. The figure pulled away, and looked at him with those blood-shot eyes. He wasn't one to give up though.

He managed to punch the figure away, and he ran.

But the damage had been done.

"I am sorry about what happened to him, but it can be undone," Ultragon said, earning confused stares from everyone present. "Just be silent and watch."

Ultragon's hair began to hover and he began to glow brighter than the sun, making everyone cover their eyes. Ultragon began to chant words that glided from his tongue like silk, making the correct movements with his hands and arms, and before him, a figure began to hover, lifelessly at the moment, yet not for long. The wounds over his body began to heal, flesh and color returned to him, clothes were restored, while other bolls of light shot through the ceiling, not harming it, and vanishing without a trace.

Slowly, the figure descended to the floor, eyes closed and breathing quiet and even. He was placed down on the ground, where he lay, almost deathly still. Ultragon lowered his arms, and smiled.

"Now I must go, this is not a little world after all!" he said, and with a flash of light and the clap of thunder, he was gone.

Everyone stared down at the motionless figure, not daring to move in fear of the vision fading away. Finally, Laze found the courage to move, and slowly moved over to him, one step at a time. She bent down beside him, wondering if she was really seeing this. Carefully, she reached out with one hand, and placed it on his face. She could feel him.

She then shook him, and he groaned, before opening his eyes.

"Shit…" he hissed as he sat up, not really paying attention to where he was. "What on Earth happened?" he mumbled, rubbing his eyes a little.

"Haelles?" a familiar voice said, causing him to whip his head around.

He was staring straight into a pair of luscious sapphire blue orbs, which were framed by smooth tresses of gold.

"Laze?" he asked back, unsure if he was really seeing this.

Before anyone knew what happened, Laze pulled Haelles to her by his collar and embraced him!

I think Ciria's the only one who saw that coming.

Reviews:

Alexis: I see.

Bulma BriefsYue Lover: Talk about embarrassing. But yeah, I thought Schala has blue hair. ……… BUT THEN WHY DOES SHE HAVE BLOND HAIR IN CHRONO CROSS?!!?

The Mad Orange: Don't bother about it. And mine's Legolas (is that how you spell it) too. I haven't read the books though. I still have others to read for school. I've seen the first two movies though.

Ciria: Uh…give me a few seconds!! [stops to think] I think that the literal translation is "In The Ban Of The Ring". If you translate "The Lord Of The Rings", you get "De Heer Der Ringen". Anja and Norak are on the Zenan Mainland, because if you remember correctly, that's where they've grown up before Porre attacked. No, but they do know that FATE is dead because they had already heard from Elvor's dad. They just never told Laze, or she'd search the globe just to kill FATE. Well, Laze has been the true wielder of the Masamune/Mastermune when she was a kid, and the spirits within the sword use Laze's emotions to enhance her strength. Nice huh? And there's one other person with powers like that of Laze, only she doesn't need the Mastermune. She has enough Saiyan-anger to last her a lifetime.

MoonlightPrincess: Oh no, it's not over yet.

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.]
