At the roof of the house I found that the sun had just past it's peak height in the sky and was starting to set meaning I had a few hours to prepare and probably eat before I decided to leave with whichever of the two that are coming with me. I came up to the rooftop because it would be peaceful and it was what I needed to get what I wanted done.

What I want to do is come to a way where I can wield my 3 swords at once so I have decided to fuse two of them together. As both 'Ascalon' and 'Second Star' are Lunar blades, I will be fusing them together. I know the exact process to do this but at the exact same time I don't either, this Tsukiyomi knowledge is a little weird in truth. It's like I have a strange attachment to everything and have an inkling to be able to answer any and every question but I … can't? Not sure that's exact but it's the easiest way to describe the feeling.

I summoned 'Second Star' and quickly unsheathed her and placed the sword through one of the belt loops on my pants and then summoned Ascalon to my spare hand. As I placed Ascalon into the scabbard for 'Second Star' I felt the slight resistance and my divinity spiked and started to flow out of my body. I allowed the divinity to take control of the process as I was to hold the Ascalon in place stopping it from shaking about. Even within my tight grip Ascalon shook violently trying it's best to get away from the scabbard of 'Second Star' but it wasn't to be. As my divinity caused silver dust sparkles to fly off the Lunar dragon slayer blade, it started to turn faint. The blade just started to fade from existence.

Looking down to the sword in the scabbard I could see that it wasn't actually disappearing but turning ethereal. It kept the shape of the sword but it lost it's weight and silver colour as it turned to the light blue that was my divinity. With this the vibrations stopped abruptly allowing me to take my hand off from where the grip was. Then I took 'Second Star' from the belt loop on my pants and placed it back in it's sheathe leaving the ethereal presence of Ascalon to remain acting like a secondary layer on the blade.

Silver sparks then came from the two blades as I felt my divinity starting to combine the two together. Both my left hand and right hand started to light up in a silver glow resembling my Lunar Gear meaning the Lunar Gear and my Divinity were working in tandem to fuse the two blades together, their goal was to create the first unbreakable Lunar Dragon Slayer Sword. The end result would be a temporary one and temporary as in as long as I continue to live in this world. The moment my body completely stops the two blades will separate. Like with Vorpal Blade, Ascalon will go to whichever of my offspring is most capable to wield that specific blade. 'Second Star' will just go back into the Lunar Gear and default everything ready for the next possessor.

As Ascalon started to fade back into view I felt all of it's power fluctuate as the grip shrunk and fused itself into it's clawed hilt and started to combine with the hilt of 'Second Star', the blade of Ascalon morphed into a katana-styled blade and combined with the blade of 'Second Star' passing on it's Dragon Slayer ability. I heard an audible crack which caused everything to slow down to a stop and the lights from my divinity and Lunar gear just evaporated from view. The process was complete.

I then took the new completed blade out from the grip and saw the new changes. A singular deep purple stripe ran along the face of the blade from the tip to the new crisp golden hilt. Rather than the original four claws of the Ascalon this new combined blade had six golden claws at the hilt. I re-sheathed the blade and saw the last change in all, the two original red beads that sat at the end of the ribbon which tightened around the scabbard were now gone and replaced by one red and one white beads there were shaped like dragons.

"I'll need a new name, Guardian."

Second Star's voice reverberated around in my ears. A sword that is specifically for tearing Dragons to pieces deserves a name that's straight to the point.

"Dragonrend. Your new name is Dragonrend."

I connected the ribbons on the scabbard through the belt loops on my pants and tied the ends together. I sat down on the ground causing the bottom of the sheathe to clang on the tile roof. My body then relaxed and I allowed my upper body to slowly fall backwards as I waited for the girls to come to their decision and my helper to meet me on the roof.

In the end I waited up on the rooftop for an hour before someone came up to see me and that person was Kalawarnar. She came all the way up to tell me that food was ready and that they hadn't even come to a conclusion yet. Secretly I was pissed, I had the co-ordinates for the enemy base and the girls were still frolicking about. My pissed mentality started to shine through as I ate dinner along with everyone else, unlike other days I was quiet and keeping to myself. I would normally talk to everyone else and find out small things as I was busy with my own things so I never paid much attention to the immediate area. I also finished first and just left the table without uttering a single word.

Finally it was Kalawarnar who had decided to come with me but from what I had heard, it was partially Azazel getting fed up to and just assigning her the post. When Kalawarnar came to me afterwards both of them were cautious because they didn't want to get in my way and were thinking of ways to deal with it before just telling me. Frankly I wanted to do it by myself but I feel that the mission would go smoother with someone I trust with Ophis allowing me to take a Vanguard position and to do whatever I wanted whether it be creating a safe passage or dealing with enemies that are in the way.

From the co-ordinates I could say that the Khaos Brigade compound was in a remote region of Okinawa, Okinawa Island specifically. While I had never been there before, I had seen anime that had visits to Okinawa or possibly even centred there … my memory on that isn't too great.

With Kalawarnar on my heels, we made our way up to the rooftop to where I had a magic circle chalked onto the tiles and held in place with devil magic so the chalk couldn't be smudged or swept away by any wind. We stood in the centre of it face to face, I held a slightly stern expression as Kalawarnar looked pretty edgey.

"Are you ok?"

"Just a little scared, this is a lot bigger than anything I've done before."

"This is bigger than most have done before. We are breaking into an enemy terrorist compound full of enemies that can and will take us on if found to kidnap the second strongest being in existence. The only thing close to this would be during the Great War when whoever was brave or dumb enough to challenge the Biblical God."

"Then why aren't you taking this like me? Are you not scared?"

Am I not scared? I'm actually unsure about that.

"Who knows, all I care about is being able to meet the God who created my ancestors. The Dragon God of Infinite created the Youkai and to be able to meet her face to face is enough counter fear but in all honesty, I feel like it could be fun. This type of mission allows me to put my full skill to the test and see if I am good enough, if not then a scar or two is enough to show it."

"So you are happy to know that there is a decent possibility you won't make it back?"

Decent possibility aside, as long as there is a possible good fight then i'm game.

"Yeah, they are always the best fights. Anyway, you are to bug out if we are compromised even if we don't have Ophis."

"What about you?"

"Me? I'll have a fight or two believe I leave or go solo on it. Whatever seems good at the time."

I'm not gonna leave without a scar or two, well damage that could result in a scar anyway. My senjutsuu just can't help itself at times, it has to keep my skin blemish free.

"Anyway, just be ready to teleport out at all times. I'm gonna start the teleportation."

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as I concentrated on the teleportation circle. It was getting dark but the moon was not out yet and it wouldn't be there either so I can't teleport that way and have to do it with my Senjutsuu so I need full concentration.

"Dren Kalo Zwert Orlu Ihorne Palu Zwercs Yul Qa."

This started the process and everything lit up. Unlike the first time I did this at the Peace Treaty, I don't have 3 parts to chant. I only need two meaning i'm getting better but still far off from Kuroka's level in Senjutsuu and the flow of Ki.

"Kon Kindrei Zernam Zi Fulx Jhar Dren Xertyur Folquer."

The chalk magic circle lit up and started the teleportation sequence.

We came out onto a grassy plain with grass that was nearly a metre high giving us some place to hide meaning all we had to do was dull our presence for the time being. I bent down first and Kalawarnar followed my actions without a word, as I slowly walked forwards while I flared out my Senjutsuu. This was my only viable option and probably the only one I would have went with if I had an array of possible ways. My Senjutsuu would only be noticed by Kuroka, Bikou and Ophis herself so we were fine for the most part.

As a small wave of my Ki flowed out, energy signatures started to come into view all over the place. I could easily identify nearly 60 signatures fanned out around the perimeter of the compound and over 200 on the inside. There was also a secondary warehouse on the compound where I could sense Vali and presumably his teams signatures with a number of ones I had never felt before. Looking throughout the area, I spotted Ophis and wondered why I didn't notice it straight away it was easily the biggest and most imposing one there. It actually made me shiver slightly from it's sheer density, it was thick and hugged her person making out the shape of a young girl.

She was in a third warehouse at the back of the compound by herself with a number of guards standing by on the outside. I could see her swaying her legs back and forth in anticipation, perhaps she was wondering when we would come to get her. She had to know we were doing so or she would perhaps attack us on sight. I guess I can give myself a few minutes to think through a strategy.

I turned round to face Kalawarnar who was acting a little fidgety which was very unlike her. She was normally a very composed person and was quick to correct people, she seemed to have her head tightly wound on her shoulders and I guess that's what does it for her here. She completely understands how dangerous the situation is here, she understands what's at stake too. Her problem is whether she can survive it knowing that this compound is full of enemies as strong or stronger than her.

"Kala-chan, you have a few minutes to calm yourself down. Just relax."

She seemed to take my words quickly as she let herself drop to the ground, a little too noisily for my liking but it seemed ok. As I could hear her taking deep breaths I started to run through my options.


Here is the start to it all and the Fallen Angel is Kalawarnar. She does need screen time after all.
I had always planned to fuse the two swords here just so Gin can easily dual wield and not have to think which swords to use.
Next chapter will be the kidnapping of Ophis so that'll be fun :)

I'll see ya all then, Ciao-nya.
