The Rage of Fire and Ice
By Zaru
"Now!" Yamato charged down the hallway, aiming towards Kaido's chamber doors as she brought it down with a crash, barreling on in.
And she saw dust in the room and coughing as she gripped Takeru to charge-
She saw the reason why.
A hole in the wall where normally there would be stone, wood, and steel.
And she felt her blood turn into ice.
"Nnnngh... that rat... I can hear him still... breathing...hic..." Kaido slurred as he turned, Yamato too stunned to even move. "Eh? My son? What, you here to challenge me at thi-"
She ignored him, and Black Maria's jeers and the surprirsed calls of his women, and Yamato frantically went over to the hole and her jaw fell.
In a heap, debris all over with his right arm gone in a bloody smear, debris and fubar piercing his chest... was Izuku.
She wailed, jumping down to him and cradling him. Muttering his name over and over.
"Nononononono... Izuku... Izuku I-" She was too late! She was too late! He's-
"Yama...to..." She gasped, seeing those weak eyes of his turn. He reached up with his one good hand, his left, blood dripping down from it as he can see the light fade from his eyes. "I'm...sorry..."
"It's my fault! I was delayed I... I wasn't fast enough! Strong enough I-" Yamato uttered, her heart breaking into pieces.
"Worororororo! Now I see! It's all so clear!" Kaido jeered as Yamato kept on looking at Izuku. "So, you found a friend in Onigashima, and you tried to have him sneak upon me while I drank and slept with my women did you?" She held onto Izuku, not wanting to turn to see those cruel eyes. "Foolish child of mine, you... are forever chained here!"
"Yamato..." Izuku uttered, his finger going to her chin. "This world... it needs... a hero..."
...
No.
He can't...
She doesn't deserve it.
The power he possesses...
"I'm entrusting it to you... I... I would have liked to... see this world... with you but I'll see it..." Izuku weakily said. "Through your eyes... if you accept... my power..."
And her tongue was out, and his bloodied hand met it. She swallowed it, the tears flowing from her eyes as Izuku smiled weakily. "Please... Yamato... this world... is ruled by monsters... you need...we... we need to... remove them..."
"Izuku..." She was going to alone again. All over again.
Because of her own stupidity!
"We... will be with you... every step of the way..." Izuku smiled up at her as he cupped her cheek. "Thank you... for everything... my final...friend..." His skin was pale, and his body cold as the arm fell and Yamato starred blankly at him.
He starred blankly at the ceiling... and she can hear the laughter behind her.
"Well well, seems like the 'favored son' found a boytoy. Such a shame he didn't wise up and scamper away like the rat he is~" Black Maria oiled.
"Yeah, he looks so scrawny and plain too!" Jeered some courtisans as Kaido looked on.
...
Yamato felt something within her... as she leaned in, closing his eyes as she planted a kiss on his forehead.
"You... will pay..." She uttered.
"Hmmm? Speak up Yamato," Kaido slurred. "It's about time you be punished for trying to do cowardly tricks, instead of taking your freedom like a man..."
She hoistered Takeru in her rope belt, her arms shaking. Her heartbeat frantic.
"He was... everything... to me..." She hissed, teeth grinding as she felt warm. Hot. Burning.
With a speed she never knew she had, she lept up towards the surprised Black Maria, hands on her cuffs as a strength within ehr surged. A power she knew, but never felt.
And she ripped off her explosive cuffs, as fire and fury consumed the whole room.

"Gah!" Kaido stumbled backwards with but a sheet around his waist, as everyone on the top floor exited their rooms and parlors to see what was going on. His bedchamber a fiery ruin as he felt his heart plummet.
His daughter was willing to kill herself like that! "Gnngh! No!" He yelled, the drunkeness burning away as he approached... only for something large to be tossed at his feat... and the red burning flames...
Were extinguised, an icy hellscape caking over the entire floor that reminded Kaido of the Admiral Aokiji. Was he here too?! But how?!
"Every last one of you..." Came a hiss, and Kaido's eyes widened as a figure walked through the icy frost. the horns... the fur...
"No... of all the Devil Fruits in the world!" He ground his teeth, a small amount of relief knowing that his child was ok... only to be buried under panic and rage. "You had to eat that one! Yamato!"
And he saw it, the Nine he had sensed from that rat...
Now...
Behind the giant wolfess, with frostfire searing from her taller Man-Beast form of the Dog Dog Fruit: Model Okuchi no Makami empowering her, bright blue lightning seemed to erupt from her very being. And he can see it.
Nine ghosts, standing behind her daughter.
...
Why was that brat he had killed beside her too!?
"I WILL KILL! EVERY LAST! ONE OF YOUUUUU!" Yamato roared, Conqueror's Haki erupting from her, and dark blue was all Kaido could see as he brought his arms out.
And he screamed in AGONY as his daughter struck him in the stomach, sending him flying as he can hear her roar... And the entire island was being coated in ice.
He felw out of the Skull Dome, flipping in midair as he transformed, coiling into his massive mile-wide Dragon form.
"YAMATOOOO!" He bellowed as he charged at full speed... and the great massive white-furred hound with frostfire and thunder erupted from the Skull Dome's crack, the poor form of Jack the Drought in her jaws as she charged at him.
And the heavens ERUPTED. The sea froze and boiled. Wano shaked and quaked. Mt. Fuji erupted, raining fire upon the Flower Capital.
The New World began to experience storms from the heightened heat and cold spells, typhoons spilling out in all directions.

It has been a week.
For the Revolutionaries, they handled the brunt of the seismic storm well. Dragon floated down, setting foot onto the glacial wasteland.
This was once known as Onigashima, an island of demons and beasts. The former HQ of the Beast Pirates.
The Marines were unable to pass, as even Akainu's Magma had a hard time melting the ice that surrounded the shattered land of Wano. It was as if the ice was... unnatural. Mythical.
He strode through the snow, feelin the bite of the cold as the black haired man used his Haki to navigate the land.
Countless dead under metric tons of snow and debris. Thousands.
Kuma reported to him that Wano was fractured...
Dragon knew the time to act was now. Pluton was here, somewhere and...
He made it to the center of the island and he saw it. Before a great chamber.
He leapt down, landing as he can feel... her gaze.
She was sitting down on her stomach, holding a frozen figure trapped in the ice capsule. By the look of his injuries...a corpse no less.
He can feel her burning blue eyes, the killing intent rising as her fangs lengthened, her tail swishing and her hairs on end as the great four legged beast eyed him as an intruder.
"I come in peace, great beast." Dragon said, getting onto his knees.
"Leave me be..." The beast, a woman from her tone, replied. He saw the frozen figure by her stomach.
"I only wish to help. I am Dragon, of the Revolutionaries."
"I need no help... I want to be left... alone..."
"I'm coming to inform you that you must leave this place. The enemy is moving and... we wish to help you. If you only wish to help us."
"I SAID LEAVE"! She roared, her burning orange eyes like the pits of hell as Dragon felt the Conqueor's Haki wash over him...
Her maw, brimming with fangs as the giant wolf beast was rising... before she blinked, and she settled down.
"Ah...sorry... Izuku... I..." She uttered. "I just... miss you so much... even though..." She looked to the side and...
Dragon can sense it, pushing past his fear.
Nine spectres all around her, one... bearing a similar resemblance to the corpse frozen. He said something... but he could not see or hear.
The beast turned, and her eyes no longer bared the sorrowful rage. "What do you want of me..."
Dragon took a deep breath. "The enemy will come from the heavens, they will seek to erase this place. As they have done to countless others..." He looked into her eyes. "If you help us... we can find a home for you..."
"Is this enemy... evil?"
"Yes... they have been ruling the world for 800 years..." Dragon replied, glaring.
The beast took a deep breath through her nostrils as she arose, her prowling forth causing quakes. She was bigger than a Marine Battleship...
"My only wish... is to fulfill my dear friend's last request." She narrowed her eyes. "Send me to these foes. They are the World Government yes?"
"And the Marines approach." Dragon added, and the beast closed her eyes.
"Yes... I can sense them... far beyond the frozen veil..." She took a deep breath. "This will be quick... and we will talk more..."
And the great four legged being took to the heavens, Dragon following thanks to the Wind Wind Fruit. He can see it... her body aglow with blue thunder, black whips emerging to from wings. Tails, coating her like a second skin.
"They allowed my father to rule and run rampant without trying to sotp them. They are no longer good men. None of them are..." And the beast opened it's maw, frostfire in her maw as Dragon could only gaze in awe as it began to glow with lightning... and Haki.
"NAMUJI HYOGA!"
A lance of frost erupted from her maw, towards the direction of the Marine Fleet many leagues away...
A new era was about to brought forth.
One defined not by the Dragons in the Heavens, or the one who sat upon the throne.
But by the World Ending Wolf, and the Nine Wraiths that accompanied her.
