"You all have been lying to me this whole time," Devlin growled as his eyes were focused on Francis, Gillian, Lobo, but most of all Fangula. They were standing in the forest.

"Devlin, let me explain!" Fangula began.

"The Fangires were created by the Demon Emperor, and the Demon Emperor…" he pointed straight at Fangula, accusingly, "Was you! You were sealed away for creating the Fangires and now you want me to fix your mistake!"

Fangula fell silent. The boy had figured it all out.

"All this time, all of you, every single one of you have been lying to me, playing me for a fool," Devlin continued.

"Master Devlin, please…" Gillian began, pleading with Devlin. "We didn't mean to-" A green beam flew past her face and she froze.

Devlin's Demon Emperor Eye was glowing as he snarled, "Shut up. I've had enough of your lies."

"There's no reasoning with the boy," Lobo said as he kneeled down. He scraped the ground with his fingers and assumed his true form as Savage. "He's serious."

Francis nodded, regretfully, as he pounded his fists together, assuming his true form as Juggernaut.

Gillian was hesitant. She didn't want to fight Devlin. She loved him for heaven's sake! But now, he wanted to…

"If my job is to destroy all Fangires, then let me continue with you lot," Devlin swore, bringing the Slayer Knuckle out of his jacket and strapping it to his right fist. He pressed it against his left palm.

"READY!"

And then snapped it onto the belt.

"FIST ON!"

The golden projection generated over his body before solidifying into the Slayer system's armor. The golden faceplate opened, showing vengeful blue eyes. Slayer Devlin spoke, "Demon Emperor, prepare to meet your demise," Devlin began before stalking towards them.

Jiro, Tamashii and Tsukune were running through the forest with Danielle, Suzume, Anzu and Nami. Tamashii's partner, Frost-Bat was flying by his partner's side.

"Sempai is going to make a huge mistake," Suzume said, worried. She flew in the lead, her wings on her back.

"Then we need to stop him!" Nami said firmly, close behind.

"I know," Anzu agreed, running fast. "We can't let onii-chan go on with this!"

"I hear the sounds of a battle," Jiro growled. "We're close."

"Devlin…" Danielle spoke worriedly.

Gillian could only watch, holding Fangula in her arms, as Slayer Devlin smashed his fist into Savage's snout. Juggernaut tried to make a grab for the white armored Rider but Slayer Devlin leapt up and did a back flip before landing behind Juggernaut. He threw his leg forward to kick Juggernaut in the back, sending him falling on top of Savage. Slayer Devlin took out the X-Calibur and converted into Sword Mode by pushing up the magazine and swinging the weapon, allowing the blade to slide out. He took out one of the whistles from its slot and inserted it into his belt buckle. The red gem glowed, accepting the whistle and processing the command.

"SLAYER X-CALIBUR: RISING UP!" the belt spoke as energy crackled around Slayer Devlin. The cross on his chest glowed as his wings spread out, releasing a blinding light. The light was as bright as a sun, emphasized by a vision of the sun shining behind him, radiating with heat and bright light. Savage and Juggernaut were blinded by the two shining wings. The Slayer X-Calibur also began to glow brightly as Slayer Devlin stepped forward.

"HEAVEN'S JUDGMENT!"

He then swung his weapon, slashing at the two Fangires swiftly. The force of the strike created a blinding flash. The flash subsided and Slayer Devlin was shocked at what he saw.

Standing before him was Tamashii, the Slayer X-Calibur clutched firmly in his hand. "Akashi…get out of the way!"

"Why?" asked Tamashii, not releasing the blade. "So you can kill your friends? So you can become the monster I thought you were?" He released the blade and Slayer Devlin stepped backwards. Tamashii held out his arm. "Then so be it…Kusunagi!" called Tamashii, summoning the legendary sword. He took a stance, preparing to fight. "Let's finished what we started that day! Frost-Bat!"

"Ikuze!" Frost-Bat shouted as he flew around Tamashii. Tamashii raised up his left arm and Frost-Bat bit on his wrist. Ice formed around Tamashii's waist and shattered revealing a belt. Frost-Bat then swooped down and hung upside down from his perch on the belt. "Wake Up!"

Ice spread from the belt and coated Tamashii's entire body before shattering. He'd transformed to Masked Rider Frost. Slayer Devlin narrowed his eyes at Frost and growled. "Come at me!" Frost commanded.

"Gladly!" Slayer Devlin shouted before releasing a war cry and charging at his eternal rival.

Sparks flew as their blades clashed with one another. Despite Devlin's apparent skill, Tamashii had experience at his side and thus with ease was able to disarm Slayer Devlin. The X-Calibur landed several feet behind Slayer Devlin and the tip of Kusunagi was pointed at Slayer Devlin's throat.

"Amakusa, stand down!" Frost ordered. "Don't make me finish you!"

"It's either me or those traitors!" Slayer Devlin shouted before drawing out his Savage Whistle and sliding it into his belt.

"SAVAGE SABER: COME HERE!" the belt announced. Savage felt himself involuntarily transform into the Savage Saber and flying into Slayer Devlin's hand. With a swift swing, Slayer Devlin knocked the sword away from his throat and howled before slashing at Frost like a raging berserker.

Tsukune, Jiro, Danielle, Anzu, Nami and Suzume could only watch as the two rivals battled savagely.

"This isn't how it was supposed to be," Danielle said miserably. She saw Gillian cowering against a tree, holding Fangula in her arms as Juggernaut stood protectively in front of them. The purple armored Fangire would not allow his friend and master be killed. He would protect them with his life, even if it meant fighting Devlin who he'd grown quite fond of.

"This has to stop," said Nami.

"Onii-chan, yamette!" Anzu shouted.

"Sempai, you can't do this!" Suzume yelled. "Stop, please!"

He wasn't listening to them. His rage had clouded his mind. He'd been betrayed and lied to by the people he'd trusted the most. Fangula had been using him this whole entire time. No more! NO MORE!

He spread out his wings which emanated with light. The bright light was blinding and Slayer Devlin took advantage of the distraction to fly past Frost and towards Gillian and Fangula. He was going to finish Fangula, now!

He kicked smashed Juggernaut away and stood over the two. "This is for playing me like a fool!" Slayer Devlin shouted as he was about to bring down the Savage Saber on the Fangire girl and his former partner when Danielle appeared in front of him out of thin air.

"STOP!!" Danielle shouted and Slayer Devlin froze.

"Get out of the way, Danielle!" he commanded.

"I'm not going to let you kill them!" Danielle crossed her arms.

"Danielle, don't make me…"

"Make you what? Kill me?" she questioned. He fell silent. "Dev, please, stop. I know you've been hurt but you don't want to do this. Once you go down this path, there's no turning back."

Slayer Devlin's body shuddered as he dropped his arms to the side. He released his grip on the Savage Saber which fell to his feel. Clutching his helmet covered head, he fell to his knees, letting out a cry of anguish. He then ripped the Slayer Belt off his waist and tossed it against a tree, disengaging the armor. He smashed his fists against the ground and shouted out, "WHY!!"

Danielle got down on her knees in front of the confused boy and took him into a soothing hug. "It's alright," she whispered. "I'm here. We can help you." He embraced her, crying against her shoulder.

Nami, Anzu and Suzume all felt a little jealous as they watched the scene but they knew only Danielle had the power to get through the haze in his mind. Devlin was a rationale person but he felt betrayed and thus he felt rage and anger.

Fangula watched the scene, thinking. "Maybe…it's time to tell Devlin the whole truth."

"The question is, though, if he will ever trust us again?" Gillian questioned.

"Only time will tell."

Topper was watching the scene from afar, a smile on his face as he removed his top hat. "Looks like I didn't need to intervene after all." He then disappeared into the forest, now that everything was alright, for now at least.

It had taken Danielle quite a while for her to calm Devlin down until she finally used one of his own potions on him. All she had to do was pop one of those capsules into his mouth and he was out like a light. She tucked him into bed before exiting the room.

"How is he?" Nami asked. With her were Anzu, Suzume, and Gillian who was holding Fangula. They were all standing in the hallway.

"Yes, how is onii-chan doing?" Anzu asked, worried

"Well, I managed to calm him down," Danielle replied. Actually, she had popped one of his sleeping potion capsules into his mouth and he was out like a light. "He's sleeping in there right now."

Fangula sighed, "This is all my fault. I should've told him the truth from the very beginning. This never would've happened if I had told him the truth," Fangula shook his head, guilty for what had happened."

"I won't argue with that logic," Suzume agreed. "You were the one who created the Fangires, then get sealed for it. Now, you're trying to use Sempai to fix your mistake."

"Suzume-chan, please…" Nami tried to calm her friend down.

"Nami-oneesan, you gotta admit that I'm right about this."

Nami sighed.

Gillian frowned sadly, deep in thought. She loved Devlin and it pained her to see him like this. She didn't have anything to say. She had no right to. To him she was a traitor.

"But, if you had told him, would he have agreed to become Fang?" Danielle questioned. She was, too, upset with Fangula and the Trio but there wasn't anything she could do about it now.

"I believe he wouldn't," Fang answered.

Danielle knew why Devlin had been so angered. Betrayal was something he could not forgive, at least not immediately. She remembered when he'd been ready to kill Tamashii once he'd discovered that the samurai had been responsible for blinding his right eye.

"Actually, I think he would if he knew what was at stake," Danielle countered. "Devlin can be understanding. He just really hates being lied to and betrayed by the people he thought he could trust."

"Will onii-chan be okay?" asked Anzu.

"We just have to wait," Danielle answered. She looked towards Fangula and Gillian. "I don't think either of you should be here when he does wake up."

"It was good while it lasted," Fangula sighed.

Gillian nodded in agreement, giving the door one last look, before leaving.

Jiro, Tamashii and Tsukune all sat at a table outside the Mad Hatter Café, discussing the events which had transpired not long ago. Frost-Bat was on Tamashii's shoulder, sighing.

"To think that Fangula created the Fangires," said Tsukune. "Unbelievable, huh?"

"Did you know about this?" Tamashii asked Frost-Bat.

"Yes, I did," Frost-Bat confessed. "Count Fangula was once the Demon Emperor and the creator of the Fangires."

"I should've known."

"This is so messed up," Jiro grumbled. "I don't think I've seen the guy so mad before."

"Neither have I," added Tsukune.

"I have and trust me when I say he can be very dangerous once provoked," said Tamashii.

"Well, it's no wonder Amakusa's all pissed off," Jiro pointed out. "Fangula lied to him."

"But, if he had told Devlin-san the truth, do you think he would've helped?" Tsukune inquired.

"Personally, if I was in Devlin's shoes, I'd slay Fangula on the spot," Tamashii answered bluntly.
