The heroes and Shepherds walked up onto the field of battle, checking their weapons, morale, and overall force. They were prepped for it all. As they stepped onto the field they saw Gangrel and Beelzemon in front.
"Gangrel! Were gonna send you to hell where you belong!" Chrom shouted.
"Ha! Like you actually think you could kill me. I have an army and a demon lord on my side." Gangrel laughed.
"Really? It looks like what Emmeryn did made them go nuts. Your entire force is in disarray!" Seiya said.
"He's right. They haven't been acting right since the broad killed herself." Beelzemon said.
"So what? I'm here to get your lives on my feet dead." Gangrel said pulling out a Levin sword.
"Then come claim them." Chrom said, all of the others drawing their weapons. For a minute, everyone stood still.
"Winter has come." Sir Robin said. "With the winter comes death before the rebirth."
"Heh. Ain't that the truth. Well, guess now's a good a time as any." Beelzemon said. "You ready for round 2, baby boy!"
"I thought you'd never ask." Oga said.
"Charge!" both sides shouted as the armies engaged each other in combat.
"Remember, our goal is to slay Beelzemon and Gangrel!" Sir Robin reminded the army.
The forces clashed with everything they had, not one Shepherd falling. The Plegians were in fear of Tharja the most, since she was formerly on their side.
As for Oga, he and Beelzemon clashed wildly as blow for blow was being traded off.
"So, I've been curious about something. You could have done anything with Emmeryn, why did you give her body back to us?" Oga shouted.
"It may be hard for you to believe, but I've seen that look in her eyes before. She wanted to die for the ones she cares about, I just gave her a way to do just that. That's all." Beelzemon said.
"Well, good on you. But, youre still a demon. I still gotta kill you." Oga smiled.
"I wouldn't have it any other way. Guess it's time I got serious." Beelzemon said fusing his two guns together. On his right arm appeared a large cannon like weapon. "This is something I've been saving for a long time." he smiled as the cannon opened and began to load power. "The power of this weapon can destroy anything in its way. You won't be able to survive it either once it fires. Corona Blaster!" he shouted as the cannon fired.
Oga barely dodged before seeing the destruction left by the cannon, a large mountain and a part of the castle had been completely wiped out.
"Id better get serious too." Oga said pulling out a milk bottle.
"Huh? It's a little early for the baby's feeding time, don't ya think?" Beelzemon asked.
Oga then began drinking the milk right before Beelzemon's eyes. "Seriously? You're drinking right from the bottle?!"
"This is Zebul feast. It's going to be the thing, that defeats you." Oga smiled tossing the empty bottle. He then got more symbols on his arms and was infused with green energy.
"Now all the skills I've got are taken to the next level." Oga said.
"You talk big, but let's see you back that up." Beelzemon said charging the cannon once more.
"Zebul Emblem!" Oga shouted firing three emblems at Beelzemon this time. They surrounded him and started glowing.
"Crap!" Beelzemon said taking to the air before they detonated. "Damn. Kids more tough than I thought. Wait, what's wrong with him?"
Oga stood there surrounded in green energy, then sprouted wings and had Beels hair and pacifier.
"Is he trying to look creepier, because it's working." he said looking at Oga.
"Nope." Ichigo said. "It just means youre done for, take a look."
Thousands upon thousands of emblems formed a wall on two sides.
"Damn. This isn't good." Beelzemon said. He just smiled as Oga was about to detonate them. "Well done, brat. I never thought you'd get me like this." he said.
But then, something unexpected happened, the emblems vanished. Ichigo and Beelzemon where surprised by this before looking at Oga, seeing he was turned to stone.
"What the? I didn't do that." Beelzemon said.
"No. I did." said a voice as he turned to see Majora. "Just following my orders, demon lord."
"You saved me? But it's over, I lost. Now just let me die with honor." Beelzemon said.
"Afraid not. Lord Lucemon was very specific when he said I must protect the other surviving demon lord. He still needs you for the final phase of his master plan."
"Master plan?" Beelzemon asked. "Forget it. If there's one thing I got, its dignity." Beelzemon said.
"I'm afraid that has no matter in this case. I've been ordered to eliminate anyone seeking to kill the other surviving demon lord." Majora said.
"But why? Why do you need to protect him?" Ichigo shouted.
"Its Lord Lucemon's will. That's why." Majora said before vanishing.
"That damn bastard. Can't even let me fight my own battles in peace." Beelzemon said. "Well then…"
He then pointed his shot guns to himself and fired, surprised that no shot came out. "Damn it!"he shouted trying to fire again with no shots firing.
"Why can't I die?" he cried out. "I don't wanna live like this, dammit!"
Majora was about to teleport Beelzemon away before someone grabbed him, preventing him from doing so.
"What?" Majora asked.
"Ichigo, Take the shot! Hurry, while I have him!" Oga said, free from his stone.
"No way! How did you escape the petrification?" Majora asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Oga said.
Ichigo then walked up to Beelzemon. "You sure you want me doing this?"
"He beat me, and I gotta die. Besides, not like a demon like me gets a happy ending, right?" Beelzemon asked. "Just make sure those knights get me on a team like yours. Take the shot, kid."
"Beelzemon. You have a good soul. Are you sure, this is how you wanna go?" Ichigo asked.
"Ain't got time to tell ya, so do it." Beelzemon said.
Ichigo decapitated Beelzemon's head, Majora too late to stop it.
"My one sin...I was never strong enough to protect the ones I care about. Maybe in death...they'll be safer from big threats like us." Beelzemon smiled as he faded away.
Gankoomon then walked up to the orb of light. "A demon lord, showing remorse for his past deeds and willing to give his own life. This requires something special." Gankoomon said as he glowed with a rainbow aura.
"Amazing. He's really gonna do that." Jesmon said.
"Do what?" Applejack said.
"He's gonna reconfigure Beelzemon, into a new royal knight." Jesmon said.
The light shined bright as Beelzemon rematerialized but now donned shining armor and his guns now white.
"Beelzemon, you have touched the hearts of the knights. I now name thee, the Knight of Sacrifice." Gankoomon said.
"Thanks. Now, allow me to return the favor." Beelzemon said taking his guns and shooting down two risen behind Gankoomon.
"Guess I'm a Knight now huh? Well, then I guess it's my duty to slay some evil guys right?" he said pointing a gun at Majora.
"Damn. I need to go. But one final part. You cannot stop us with purifying a demon lord." Majora said.
"Quite right." said a voice as Oga turned to see Lucemon himself. "Just because Beelzemon is isn't a demon lord anymore, doesn't mean you've stopped my plans." he grinned before smashing Oga into the ground, knocking him out immediately.
Gangrel stared at this, then looked back at his army. They were in fear, and were getting destroyed. He was fighting against Seyia and broke down.
"No. This is impossible! With the entire military might of Plegia, and the power of a Demon Lord, how hard is it, To take the lives, of some measly warriors?" Gangrel said.
"Aw. Seems someone isn't experiencing a good day." Lucemon said approaching him. "You failed because you lacked commitment to your cause. You couldn't even bother to kill the woman yourself." he added as Gangrel stared at him with fear.
"Now die. Paradise Lost." Lucemon said aiming his hand at Gangrel, firing a blast from his hands, completely destroying the mad king. "Such a pitiful excuse for a human." Lucemon said. "Heroes! Its nice to see all of you once more."
"You. You're the guy from the factory. You're the one we saw when the demon lords were released." Gray said.
"Quite right. I am Lucemon, the demon lord of pride and de facto leader of the Seven Great Demon Lords." Lucemon introduced himself.
"Pleased to meet you, and goodbye!" Jexi said runing at him.
"Jexi, no!" Hope said as Lucemon grabbed Jexi's arm and slammed him into the ground, pinning him down.
"Sorry child, but with the other demon lords gone, I can't afford to kick the bucket just yet. Not when my master plan is already underway." Lucemon said.
"Urk… so, powerful." Jexi said.
"Did you expect anything else? You can't beat me. When I'm done, this pitiful universe will fade to nothing, leaving a grand new one to take its place." Lucemon said. "Before I take my leave, I'll let you all know you can't defeat me. And royal knights, just realize...I'm going to bring him back." Lucemon said, shocking a lot of the royal knights before vanishing.
"We won, but this victory feels shallow." Chrom said.
"Plegia has surrendered, but we cant exactly track Lucemon wherever we go." Hope said.
"And who is he trying to bring back?" Hiei wondered.
"I have an idea on who it is. He wants to revive the original demon lord." Kentaurosmon said arriving.
Before anyone could ask, Sumia appeared and ruined the moment.
"Looks like we better give them some room. I know love when I see it." Rarity said as the heroes went out of the room.
"So, what do you mean original demon lord?" Hope asked.
"Allow me to tell the story." Alphamon said. "In the beginnings of the worlds, there was a being created to contain the sins of all of them. His name was Ogudomon. He would absorb the sins of all worlds so they could remain happy. But, the sins corrupted him. He began waging war across all worlds, even going as far as destroying them. It was then that the Royal Knights intervened. Our founder, along with the thirteen original knights rushed to fight him. Eventually we won, but Imperialdramon gave his life in the process. Before Ogudomon could die, he split his soul into seven parts, thus creating the Seven Great Demon Lords. We fought them in an attempt to prevent any chance of his revival. Eventually, we sealed them up on seven different worlds. We thought all would be safe. We were wrong. Somehow, Gospel formed and Majora revived, all for their resurrection."
"Jeez. Now that five are done for and one of em's a knight, where do you suppose the world he is on is?" Hope asked
"There are two things required for Ogudomon's revival. A world with a lot of bloodshed and two Demon Lords." Kentaurosmon said.
"I know of only one place. Earthrealm." Hope said. "Just reccently, Shao Kahn was destroyed, leading to a fallen elder god's resurrection and a full on war."
"If that is true, Lucemon would have an endless supply of souls to use for the revival." Gankoomon said.
"We'll go to Earthrealm when the time comes. For now…" Jexi said. "... I think a wedding is in order."
"Chrom and Sumia are getting Married?!" Lucy said.
"Yep. You seriously didn't notice the signs?" Hope asked.
"Well, we've been pretty busy with all this war and guilds crap." Lucy said.
"And they aren't the only ones. Donnel & Panne, Lissa and Lon'qu, Vaike and Cordelia, Miriel and Gregor, Maribelle and Libra, Virion and Olivia, Frederick and Nowi, Sully and Kellam, they're all getting into it. We've missed out on their support conversations and now their weddings are all happening at once." Jexi said.
"Holy crap, thats a lot of planning to do." Hope said.
"Well, we all have to bare with it, I suppose." Jexi said.
A few days later, a grand wedding was held in the kingdom as the mentioned couples were each married one after the other. Their kids, soon arriving after, were all in good display. That was, until Valm began the invasion.
Meanwhile, in a dark cave on the same world, Lucemon was walking about as Majora followed. "Sir, should we make way to Earthrealm?"
"Actually, I feel there are more souls here than on that world. Its perfect for the ritual." Lucemon grinned.
"But, we don't have enough demon lords." Majora said.
"Not yet, anyway." Lucemon said grabbing Majora. "What...what are you doing?"
"I'm making a new demon lord of course." he grinned as Majora could be heard screaming.
