Chapter 5: Family Ties.

The next thing that can be heard is another loud roar coming from the dust cloud. Just then a huge purple like a dog thing with horns on the side of its head point out from its head along with a purple grayish Mohawk that extends from its head to the mid-section of its back lands in front of them. Once it landed in front of them it let out a loud roar Dan, Rain, and Zey look up at it as it towers over them a good 17 feet.

Dan shouts, "It's a Behemoth!"

Dan, Rain, and Zey try to stand up but are unable to due to them being exhausted. The Behemoth steps forwards and moves its head closer to Dan's head. Dan looks up and sees the Behemoth's face right in front of his face growling at him. They all put their heads down knowing there was no way they could get out of this situation. Seeing the end Dan, Rain, and Zey await their fate patiently.

Just then a male's voice can be heard shouting, "Get away from my kids! You over grown dog!"

That is when a man wearing a torn up brown cape standing 6'5 feet tall with short brown hair with a sleeveless white shirt, and is left eye covered up by bandage wrapped completely around his head lands in front of them holding a lance.

They all look up and shout, "Leo!?"

Leo grips his lance and brings it up and rests it on his left shoulder then turns his head slightly to the right looking at them smiling. Leo then looks forwards at the Behemoth as it rears up on it hind legs with its forelegs hanging down on its sides growling at Leo.

Leo grips his lance with both hands and pulls it from his left shoulder saying, "Alright! Lets go!"

Leo holds his lance down on his left side with both hands jumps toward the Behemoth. The behemoth swats at Leo with its right paw but miss when Leo lands on its arm. Once on his arm Leo pulls his lance up to his mid-section on his left side and then jumps off its arm toward its chest. Upon arriving at the Behemoth's chest Leo swings his lance from is left to right side hitting and cutting with the tip of the lance across its chest. The behemoth rears back on its two hind legs and falls backwards roaring. Leo lands in front of the Behemoth and then jumps back to a safe point away from it. The Behemoth rolls over to its left side and turns back around facing toward Leo and them. It then stood up on its hind legs growling with a green aura surround it. Leo stood ready for the attack that is coming. Once the green aura surrounding the Behemoth disappeared it fell to all four legs and throw its head up roaring. Just as it roared medium sided lightning bolts shoot down from the sky hitting all of them. Dan, Rain, and Zey all let out a either a yell or a grunt then fell face forward to the ground motionless. Leo grunts "ugh!" and only jerks back a bit from the hit only continue to stand up straight. Leo turns his head to look at Dan, Rain, and Zey to see if they were alright but to his horror he sees them laying on the ground motionless.

Leo turns his head back toward the Behemoth with great anger in expression shouting, "No!!! How dare you hurt my kids like that!!"

Leo then places his right in front of his face continuing to stare fiercely at the Behemoth while holding his lance in his left hand. As he stands in front of the Behemoth, a green aura ripples from the ground and up to Leo's knees surrounding him. During this four green balls with fire in the middle of them fly up and around Leo with four afterimages from them fading with each image until there is nothing.

Once reaching pass the top of Leo head the green balls stop then shot off away from Leo and the green aura disappears which he then shouts, "Sraphim!! I Summon You!!"

The Behemoth stands where it watching and waiting to Leo to do something when a summoning crest appears underneath Leo with a white gentle glow. A short time before the crest disappears it shots little beams of light up into the air. After the crest disappears, four pure white feathers float down from the sky and land on the ground in front of Leo. A few seconds later a beam of light shots down from the sky over the feathers and then a person with pure white wings covering them from the front wearing white robes. The person wearing a white robe with pure white wings stops right above the ground in front of Leo just hovers. They then throw out their arms which made their wings spread out to revile a woman with long brown hair. She then places her arms on her side with her wings rest back behind her with a white aura swirling from the ground to around her feet.

Leo picks up his lance and places it on his right shoulder ordering, "Sraphim Attack with Holy strike!"

Sraphim turns her head and looks at Leo nodding then turns her head back around which a white aura surrounds her. The Behemoth rears up on its hind legs roaring at Sraphim preparing itself from anything she could throw at it. Sraphim then raises her right arm in front of her pointing it at the Behemoth when her expression changes as she if she is straining to do something. As she continues to hold her right arm up she then swings her left arm over and grips her right arm at the wrist area with her left hand. As she it doing this the Behemoth roars extremely loud as it swings its head up in the air. Leo winces and covers his ears from the loud roar from the Behemoth but Sraphim just continues to hover off of the ground unaffected by the Behemoths roar. Seeing that it seems that Sraphim wasn't going to do anything the Behemoth falls down on all four legs and then leaps off of the ground towards her.

As the Behemoth flies through the air Sraphim shouts, "Holy Aura!!!!"

Just as she shouts the words the white aura surrounding her moves to the center point in the middle of her hand when it shoots off from it like a beam. The aura beam flies off from Sraphim and hits the Behemoth in the neck area knocking it back away from her. The Behemoth flies backwards the air and lands on the temples front steps on its back letting out a loud roar.

After seen that the Behemoth was away from them a good distances Leo shouts, "Sraphim use your Overdrive Reviver!!!"

Sraphim turns her head looking at Leo again and nods then looks forward again. As soon as she was facing straight forwards, she crosses her arms over her chest when she is then surrounded by a red aura and electricity pulsing around her. The red aura and electricity disappear which she then jumps up into the air and throws her arms out to her side. Once she threw her arms out her wings stretch out as far as they could and she is then consumed by a white aura once again. Once she was surrounded by a the white aura again, she started to glow bright and brighter to a point where beams of light where coming from her. The Behemoth which was down on its back was finally able to get back up on its feet looks at Sraphim but turns its head away from how bright she was glowing. Leo just stands there unflinching from the brightness of Sraphim when several beams of light appear over Dan, Rain, and Zey with small white sparkles appearing over their bodies. Just as sudden as the beams of light and white sparkles appears over them they disappear and Sraphim stops glowing. After Sraphim stops glowing, she slowly floats back down to the ground when Dan, Rain, and Zey start to move again griping their weapons.

Dan who is still on the ground moves his arms around and then pushes himself off of the ground saying, "Ugh!.. What the.. What happened?"

Zey who is on the left of Dan gets up and says, "I think we where out of it for a bit."

Rain who is straight up on the left side of Zey looks at both Zey and Dan to her right asking, "If that is so?… Who revived us?"

Leo who is standing a bit away from them replies, "Who else."

They all look up and see Leo standing in front of them but not facing them only having his head turned a little bit to look at them.

Rain steps forward a bit saying happily, "Leo I'm so glad to see you!"

Leo smiles and softly laughs replying, "Likewise… To all of you."

Dan takes a few steps forward farther then Rain toward Leo about to say something when the Behemoth lets out a loud roar.

Leo turns his head back around toward the Behemoth in front of him saying, "Not now!.. We can talk later but now we must defeat this Behemoth!"

Dan nods his head in a reply which Zey, Rain, and himself ran up to Leo sides to support him.

Leo throws his right hand out to his side shouting, "Sraphim!.. Dismissed!!"

Once Sraphim reached the ground she turns her head looking at Leo and nods as reply. Right after Sraphim replied she jumps up into the air which a summoning crest appears over her she flies thought it and disappears.

Just when Sraphim and the summoning crest disappeared Leo grips his lance with both hands saying, "I hope y'all are ready for this."

Dan, Rain, and Zey all look at Leo and nod as a reply.

The behemoth who had its head turn away from them stares back at them and then turns his body completely around facing them. Once completely facing them it charges towards them at full speed as Dan, Rain, Zey, and Leo stand ready for it to draw close to them. About when the Behemoth as halfway Leo swings his lance down to his right side with it still in both hands running towards the Behemoth. Dan and the rest of them look at this with a shocked expression when Dan decides to follow Leo's lead. So Dan spins his sword in his right hand twice then stops it where it is point down towards the ground and beings to run at the behemoth as well.

Meanwhile Rain looks towards Zey and says, "Come on Zey lets combine our magic so that we can cast Thundara!!"

Zey who is looking at her nods and replies, "Yeah!"

Both Rain and Zey put their right hands in front of their face when a green aura surrounds them. While this is happening Leo and Dan finally get in range of the Behemoth then it jumps up into the air and comes back down swiping at them with its right paw. As it paw hits and scrapes against the ground it lets out a loud screeching sound. Leo and Dan avoid its attack completely by jump up into the air. Once at the climax of his Leo brings up his lance above his head and swings it in a circle two with his right hand. After swing it he stops the lance where it is behind him which he then moves his left hand up to grip the handle of the lance. Leo then begins to fall as he fall back down to the ground he swings his lance down. The Behemoth which is standing up straight now look up to see where Leo and Dan are but is soon hit in the top of its head by Leo's lance. Its head then slams into the ground by the force of Leo hit. As lands on the ground in front of the behemoths face he does a back flip away from it. Soon after Leo moves away the behemoth moves up its head growling in pain and at Leo when Dan close behind Leo falls down towards it. Dan holds his sword in his right hand behind him screaming something close to a war cry. Once Dan was in range he swings his sword downwards slicing through the left shoulder area of the behemoth. The behemoth rears up on its hind legs roaring extremely loudly with its head up high in the air from the pain of Dan's slash. Meanwhile Dan lands on the ground in front of the behemoth and jumps back away from it before it lands back down on all four paws. Dan lands on the ground staggering a little bit right be side Leo's left side who is in between Rain and Zey. Rain on his left side and Zey on his right side with both of them having green auras surrounding them.

At that moment the aura surrounding Rain and Zey disappears which they then throw their right hands forwards shouting together, "Thunder!!"

Just as they finished shouting the spell two flashes appear in the air beside each other only a few yards above the Behemoth which then two small lightning bolts shoots down. Only just a few feet from point where the appeared they combined into one medium sized lightning bolt snaking its way down towards the Behemoth. Unaware of the lightning bolt making its way down towards it the Behemoth thrushes its head forwards roaring at Dan and the rest of the team as purple blood spurts for its wound on its shoulder. In a instant the lightning bolt hits the Behemoth in the sending electrical pulses through its body and cause it to muscles to lock up. As quickly as it happened the lightning bolts disappears and the Behemoth falls to the ground free from its muscles being locked up.

Leo seeing an opportunity throws is right arm out towards the side shouting, "Step back! I Got this!"

Dan, Rain, and Zey respecting their old teachers order jump back a bit to give him room.

Leo then moves his brings his left hand which is holding his lance in front of his face as he does this he also brings his right hand over and places it over his left at the tail end of the lance. He then closes his eyes and bows his head almost like if he was praying. Meanwhile the Behemoth recovers from the lightning strike getting back up on its legs while shaking its head. Seeing Leo standing in still in front if it, the Behemoth sinks its claws into the concrete tiles causing to crack and break apart. The Behemoth snarls with bit of its Mohawk covering its left eye. Leo just continues to stand in the same position unaltered but the Behemoths presents. Dan, Rain, and Zey just continue watching with concern and anxiety as the Behemoth makes an approach towards Leo. The Behemoth continues to make its way towards Leo as blood rolls down its left leg and then drops down to the ground. Unaffected by it the Behemoth just continues towards Leo hoping to make a easy kill. Wondering what Leo is do Rain tries to rush back to Leo side but Dan holds out his right arm in front of her slowly nodding his head.

Rain look at Dan with great anxiety saying, "But Dan!"

Dan putting down his arm looks at Rain calmly says, "Just wait."

Rain looks way from Dan towards Leo still greatly concerned about his life. Dan as well looks towards Leo with the utmost confidence in him. As the Behemoth draws closer towards him Leo's arms start to shake which then an invisible force kicked up some of the dust around Leo's feet and caused it swirl around him. Once that happened Leo opened his eyes but continues to bow his head when a few seconds later red electricity and a red aura pulse from his body. Seeing this the Behemoth speeds up and runs full force towards Leo. Leo drops his left arm and swings his right arm down towards his right side with the lance in its hand while doing this he slides is left foot back to a point where he standing almost sideways. The Behemoth finally in range to pounce jumps up into the air Leo just stands there gripping his lance tightly in his right hand.…… (End of Chapter.)
