dragonelf 8: I'm on a roll lately, though I feel incredibly sleepy. I'm not good to take this for granted, I'm going to get as much out of this as possible.

Tsume-n-carnate: It's hard for me too, but you suggested the color. AND HE DOES DESERVE IT HE BEING A COMPLETE MORON! And I can see him with pink hair screaming at his reflection.

Yami no Hikari-chan: I'm glad. I like making people happy. You wanted the next chapter so here it is.

Runeslittlesister: He probably will, I chose Rune cause I wanted his hair dyed too, but it's back to normal now.

Sould sista666: Will if you want to hurt a guy of his pride dye his hair pink, especial a guy as prideful as Rath. I really glad you like my story. Here's the next update.

Chapter 18: The journey begins.

"Okay, Ryu. You know what you're looking for? You, Lero, and Rune make sure Rath doesn't hurt anyone other than demons," demanded Alfeegi as Ruwalk hand Ryu a bag of money for supplies along the way.

The dragon officers, Cesia, and Dragon King and Queen were to bid the knights good-bye and see them off.

Ryu looked at Rath whom had currently busied himself by burning a nearby flower. Thatz watched him as; Rune packed up the supplies on the Darnas. Lero patiently waited at the base of a tree, his wolf tail swaying every once and a while. Ryu looked at Rath again the expression on his face was one that would make a demon runaway in fear; it was pure excitement at burning the little flower.

Ryu: Sweat drop.

"I'll try but I can't make promises," answered Ryu nervously looking at the farewell group.

"Please try. So what was it your after again," asked Ruwalk.

"The previous Divine Knight wrote about the Dragon treasures to restore balance. That balance might be away to get my brother back. So I'm going to find the treasures and restore balance in any way that I can," answered Ryu swinging her backpack off her back again, taking out both cameras. (One's a video camera, the other an instant shot camera.)

" Well I hope you find them safely," said Raseleane smiling down on Ryu.

"Do worry I will," said Ryu snapping the shot.

The grouped looked a little dazed as a bright light suddenly appeared, the only ones that were smiling in the picture was Lykouleon and Raseleane. The others all had goofy looking faces that looked like, what-the-heck-was-that. Ryu giggled as she showed them the picture.

"The technology of your world never seizes to a maze me," said Lykouleon looking at the photo.

"You get use to it after about a week," answered Ryu.

"They all looked confused, take another one," said Rath looking down as well. He had turned the pretty flower to dust.

Ryu went to one of the soldiers guarding the palace explained what to do with the camera. Quickly she got the other Dragon Knights along with the others. The solider snapped the shots and gave the camera and pictures back to Ryu as he return to his post. Ryu then gave everybody one if the photos, then she and the knights waved goodbye and were on their way.

"I hope they'll be safe," said Raseleane looking in the direction of the knights as they slowly faded in the distances.

"I'm sure they'll be fine, Ryu is very determined. No force of any kind can stop her from saving her brother," answered Lykouleon, " and if anything bad happened Rath, Rune, Lero, and Thatz would know what to do. They'll look after her."

"Now Lykouleon, you have that paper work you forgot to sign last month to finish," interrupted Alfeegi staring sternly at Lykouleon.

Ryu looked back at the now completely disappeared Dragon Castle. It felt so strange to finally be leaving the castle. She hadn't wandered out of it because of the training she had with Tetheus but what would she do if she had? The only time she could remember being out of the castle was when she first arrived at Dusis, which was a long time ago. And she really didn't know much about the people of Dusis, or the currency at the time. If she came across a demon then she'd mostly die, but now she knew and the other knights were there to help her if she needed it. 'This is going to be a whole new experience for me being outside the castle,' thought Ryu as she continued walking forward.

"So where are we going to head to first," asked Rune looking back at Ryu as he continued walking, Thatz was leading the Darnas, and Lero walking right beside them.

"Well," said Ryu taking out a map. " I thought we'd start at Luwa, since it's closest. Then we can work our way up, I especially want to check out Mt. Emphaza."

"Why there?" asked Rath curiously turning back to Ryu.

"I read in one of the spell casting books Alfeegi made me study, that there's this demon protecting the mountain for sometime now. The way I figure it is that something is up there and it might be one of the Dragon's treasures," answered Ryu, already knowing some of the things on the mountain, like Gil, and the wind staff that could possible be the Wind Dragon Treasure.

"Okay I guess we're off to Luwa," said Lero.

Ryu smiled and took out the video camera and recorded their departure.

"Li wanted me to record our adventure to show when I got home. So this will be interesting."

Elsewhere

In Demon Dairy World

Eclipse looked out the window while Raefen was busy studying on how to be a great demon lord. Raefen looked at Eclipse, when he hadn't answered his question, he had been silent for a long time now deep in thought, normally he would look over Raefen's work to see how he was doing by.

"Eclipse, what wrong," asked Raefen in his usual child like manner.

Eclipse looked down on his young master, he could never deny Raefen any thing. Not like he really could considering the child was a Demon King, and one in which he served under.

"I was wondering if we should go on a trip," answered Eclipse looking back at Raefen.

"A trip? What for?" asked Raefen curiosity riddling his face.

"I sense impending danger. Not just for our world but for every world," answered Eclipse his muscles tense, "I never thought it'd get this far."

"Danger? More worse than when my darker side came out?"

"Yes. The Demon Lord that is causing this is very powerful, and he is from another world too so it makes it difficult to pin point how strong he is."

"So why are we going on this trip?"

"To help the race that has fought this demon for a long time, it will be a good experience for you, and teach you to strengthen alliances."

"But I thought that you said that a Demon Lord shouldn't help anyone, and not to mess with the affairs of other Demon Lords."

"Not if the Demon Lord threatens to destroy your territory, and the race we'll be helping knows more about his strength than we do so it will be a strong asset."

"I see."

"Besides wouldn't you like to take a break from studying," smiled Eclipse hitting his master's weak point.

"Boy, would I ever," yipped Raefen in happiness, like a dog getting a treat.

"I'll get the cloaks," called Raefen as he skipped out of the room.

Eclipse smiled at his master's child like manner. Who could have known there was such a thing as a lovable Demon Lord. His face soon contorted as he realized what his master was doing. Eclipse yelled to his master, as he ran after him.

" Master Raefen a servant is supposed to do that, and a Demon Lord does not skip!"

After Raefen collected the cloaks, and embarrassed himself, and Eclipse by skipping in front of the castle guards. They finally had their cloaks secured and were in the garden. Raefen was on his best horse while Eclipse was on his own stallion. Eclipse silently muttered the spell setting up the two departure and the two were instantly sent to the dragon knight world. The problem was they didn't end up in Draqueen as they looked around to see themselves in the Costa Rica village.

Inuyasha world

"Inuyasha calm down," said a girl in pink hair. (A.N: She's one of my other characters in another story.)

"Sakura's right Inuyasha, you need to calm down," said Kagome.

"Were bound to find Naraku sooner or later," said Shippo to calm Inuyasha down.

"Sooner or Later isn't fast enough," yelled Inuyasha.

Miroku sighed, along with the others. He was going into one of his tantrums. And Sakura was getting fed up with it.

"Listen Inuyasha. Were all itching to get a piece of Naraku, but we don't know were he is right now," said Sakura as she leaned on a boulder next to the cliff's side running her fingers frustratingly through her hair. " The best thing to do now is to find the sacred jewel shards, it might be slow but we'll find Naraku that way."

Sakura looked up at her friends to see why they hadn't responded to her, only to see all of them gone.

"HUH?!" cried Sakura as she went to see where her friends went. They had completely vanished.

"AHHHHHHH!" the group screamed as the fell through a hole that swallowed all of them whole. Each one fell on top of the other as they landed to find themselves in Misty Valley, but they didn't know that at the time being.

Wolf's Rain World

Kiba could feel the tension in the air. Something was seriously wrong. But what was it. Cheza, Toboe, Hige, Tsume, Blue, Kura, and Kage looked back at the white wolf as he stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong Kiba," asked Hige.

"I don't know something is seriously wrong though," answered Kiba nervously.

"It the planet," answered Cheza fear dripped her words.

"What's wrong with the planet?" asked Blue.

"It's calling to us. It says we are needed elsewhere," answered Cheza.

The others tensed to her words. Kura looked at Cheza with the same expression. Kura was one of Ryu's best friends, and we she went looking for Ryu she had found herself trapped in the world of Wolf's Rain, but by now she was used to this, ever since Darcia had put that spell on her and turned her into wolf. She didn't mind this now that she was used to it in fact, it didn't even bother her much at all. She was now a black wolf with a scar crossings her eye where a bear had tackled her when she was saving Toboe. Cheza continued.

"Kura, your friend Ryu. The one you've mentioned. It appears she is the one that needs help most, paradise has agreed to her call and is going to send us on one of the paths she will take," answered Cheza.

"WHAT! What's happened to Ryu?! Is she okay?! Where is she going?!" cried Kura eager for news of her friend.

"Kura calm down. I'm sure your friend is fine," said Kage to calm Kura down.

"So what's taking us to, Kura's friend," asked Tsume as if he really didn't care.

"It paradise. Paradise is taking us."

"Paradise, but how?" asked the smallest, Toboe.

"Through a strong network of magic… Kiba, this one senses someone with this Ryu that is form this world's future."

"This world's future? Who is he Cheza?" asked Kiba walking closer to the flower maiden.

"This one is not sure, but he has the scent of Lunar Flowers just like this one," answered Cheza. "Paradise will be taking us now."

The pack of wolves, except Kura looked at the ground in surprise as it opened up to a bright light. All of them began falling. 'Hold on Ryu. I'm coming,' thought Kura as she finally landed, in the country of Luwa.

Final Fantasy VII

Sephiroth looked down at Wood that was sleeping peacefully in his lap. Luna's face appeared before his eyes blood that was substituting for tears ran down her cheek as she tried her hardest to safe him form Jenova, or mother as he like to call her. It had been two weeks since he had tried to destroy the planet, but when Cloud stopped him and defeated him Luna was the one that pulled Sephiroth's weak body out of the cavern in the mountain, then this tiny dragon appeared out of no where claiming Sephiroth as his master, and explaining that when Sephiroth had a change of heart he was finally able to make himself known.

Flashback

"Why are you saving me? Wasn't I your enemy just a few seconds ago," question Sephiroth hatred dripped with ever word.

"That doesn't matter your still a person, Sephiroth! I know you might hate everything, but that doesn't matter now!" cried Luna as she tugged hard, her blood tears running down her face again. "I don't want you to die! I can see a noble light inside of you, and that you really don't wish to destroy this planet! Sephiroth I know you love your own kind!"

Sephiroth looked into Luna's face, blood tears running down her face. 'She crying for me, just as she did for the Ancient, Aeris, but why? All I've done is caused her pain. I killed her comrade, I've tortured her friends, and I even caused her immeasurable pain. It's not possible for someone with the desire to safe me when I've done so much wrong, yet here she is,' thought Sephiroth in fascination.

"Do you think the world will except me now after all I've done. They'll most likely kill me on the spot," said Sephiroth smiling darkly.

"THEN LIVE AND ATONE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE! THEN GET ON WITH LIFE! LEARN TO STAND ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET WITHOUT THE INFLUNCE OF SHINRA, OR EVEN JENOVA! YOU'VE GOT LEGS GET UP AND USE THEM!" screamed Luna at Sephiroth in frustration.

Sephiroth stared at Luna in shock never had he ever met such a girl.

End Flashback

"I've got legs, I'll get up and use them," muttered Sephiroth to himself.

These were the very same words that changed his life, before he had always had been a tool used by someone other than himself, Shinra, and Jenova. If there was one thing Luna taught him it was to live the way he wanted to no outside force. Sephiroth had decided to go out to get stronger and find what Cloud had found on his journeys.

It wasn't much later that Sephiroth found himself holding the little dragon Wood in his arms. He was chosen, as Wood had explained, as the Dragon Knight of Wood. Luna was soon after then kidnapped by a strange man, Sephiroth had wanted to go and help to force his way through with his rage, but he had to get stronger before he could help Cloud and the others so he wouldn't repeat his mistakes again. And before he knew it a strange man with purple hair, red eyes, and black robes appeared and had offered Sephiroth power. The mans name was Nadil, he had explained everything to Sephiroth in hopes of getting him to help Nadil in his cause. Sephiroth refused and drove Nadil away by killing him, Sephiroth quickly learned latter that it wasn't so easy to kill the Demon Lord. Sephiroth's head jerked up once he hear the sound of the soft bell.

'Master Sephiroth is something wrong,' wrote the little dragon as she always did.

Sephiroth smiled down on his dragon with kind eyes as he always did.

"No little one. I'm fine," answered Sephiroth.

'No master Sephiroth. You hear it too don't you heard, that small bell sound.'

Sephiroth couldn't help but frown on this, yes he had heard, it was bringing back some interesting memories.

"Yes, I hear it. What is that sound?" asked Sephiroth curiously.

'It's the Divine Dragon. He's calling all of the dragons and their knights to him. In other words he's chosen a new master after 50000 years.'

"So why is he calling?"

'The new knight has decided to restore balance. He needs the dragons and their knights help on this. But you don't have to see him if you don't want to Sephiroth.'

"No. Let's go see who this new Divine Knight is. This is a good opportunity to test my strength and to get stronger," answered Sephiroth, as he got up, holding Wood in his arms and his extremely long sword in his other hand.

'Alright!' exclaimed the little dragon in happiness as they went to the world of Dragon Knights in Chezarre. Sephiroth walked down the street even though people stared at him he ignored them and went on.

Nadil's castle

Nadil sat on his thrown he could sense the dimensions open up and allow four new groups from four different worlds enter the world of Dusis. One was the Dragon Knight of Wood that had so rudely killed him, well attempted. 'So Sephiroth is here is he?' thought Nadil his curiosity perked. Darcia walked into the room. Nadil lifted himself off the thrown and walked over to the man.

"Did you find out who that wolf, with Ryu is?" asked Nadil.

"Yes. He is the future son of Kiba and Cheza, which is why he has the scent of Lunar Flowers," answered Darcia.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, he is also apparently the Metal Dragon Knight."

"I see. That adds a few more implications," answered Nadil irtterably.

Darcia merely stood and watched Nadil with both his eyes. Nadil smirk and lifted Darcia's chin by lightly touching it with a single claw.

"You've done very well for me Darcia. Be patient I will bring back your beloved Hamena to your arms again," muttered Nadil to Darcia.

"Hamena…" whispered Darcia quietly longing in his voice.

"In the mean time I'll give you a small portion of my power to you," said Nadil wind lifting his purple hair from his shoulders.

Darcia start to glow dark blue as he was receiving Nadil's power. His eyes we're wide as he felt the enormous power going through him. 'This is a small portion? It feels more like a mountain,' thought Darcia surprised by the amount of power Nadil had in him. Finally Nadil withdrew, smirking to himself and not looking the least bit phased.

"That power I've given you should suffice for now. It appears we have new visitors here in Dusis," said Nadil a little louder. Naraku had walked in looking slightly irtteriable.

"One of them is Inuyasha and his friends," answered Naraku, the others looked at them for answers. "I saw him disappear. Sakura was left behind though, she is currently with Sesshomaru stuck in cave with him."

"I sense the Flower Maiden here on Dusis along with Kura and the other wolves," replied Darcia.

"Sephiroth has also arrive here in this world, that leaves the last group, none of which I recognize," said Nadil to the others.

"Wait Sephiroth's here? I thought he wouldn't get involved," said Naraku frowning.

"Surly you've two have heard too. The bell inside your head," said Nadil calmly.

"Wait is it?" asked Darcia in his usual monotone voice.

"It's Ryu she's calling the knights to her."

"And this other group?" asked Naraku.

"I'll send my men to find out to take care of our guest until then feel free to stay as long as you please here," said Nadil as he called his men.

Shydemen, and Shyrendora instantly appeared in front of their master, Naraku, and Dracia looked in surprise as the demons looked up from their kneeing position, smirks graced their lips.

"You called Lord Nadil," said the two in unison.

"We have new visitors in this dimension I want to send out some of your warriors to greet our guest, but don't kill Kura, Cheza, or Sephiroth the rest can rot for all I care," ordered Nadil.

"It will be done," answered Shydeman loyally, causing Naraku to watch with slight envy.

He and Shyrendora lifted themselves form their kneeling positions and walked away. Nadil then followed in another direction. Naraku and Darcia looked at him curiously.

"I'm going to see if our Dark Dragon Knight has recovered form his punishment," sneered Nadil as he walked away up the stairs.

dragonelf 8: So the journey finally starts. New arrival have entered the Dragon Knight world, And I've finally included the other world characters.
