Broken Angel

Chapter 66

Rapture, and all of it's technological marvels, sat at their fingertips. Out of sheer laziness, Riley attempted to use the Byakugan and Kamui at the same time. She looked into another part of Rapture and then tried to release the Kryll there. To her joy, it worked.

This discovery opened an incredible avenue for her, as this meant Riley could not only see things at a distance with the Byakugan, but interact with them as well, using her other ocular powers. She'd have to try it with Amaturasu at a later date, when she didn't have to worry about burning a hole through the underwater city.

Riley's plan was simple, she'd leave clones behind once the Kryll had finished off a majority of the splicers. These clones would seize control of all of Rapture, and begin learning all there was to learn about the city. Riley planned on clearing it out, and using the city to her advantage in the future.

After injecting herself with the Hypnotize Big Daddy plasmid, she was able to start setting the metal warriors to task. Without splicers to endanger the Little Sisters, their presence was no longer a necessity. Riley intended to leave the sisters in Brigid Tenenbaum's care. She possessed a way to cure the little sisters and a desire to help them. If it wasn't for the fact that the girls probably had family on the surface that was looking for them, Riley would have taken them with her. In the case of the Big Daddies, well most of them were ex criminals, and were generally unpleasant human beings before being turned into the metal oafs. So it was probably for the best to set them to work and keep them occupied. If there was a way to change them back, Riley would explore it, but unlike the sisters, the Big Daddies had been extensively mutated and barely looked human under those suits.

With control of the Big Daddies, Riley set them to work repairing Rapture. While her clones would learn all there was to learn in this city, the Big Daddies would get it up and running again. The only question left was what to do with the remaining Big Sisters?

There were eighteen in total, still remaining, eighteen young, psychotic, Chuunin level woman.

Riley, Katie, Eleanor, and Delta stood in a chamber filled with these young woman. They were all trapped in cells, bound and drugged.

"This is awful." Katie commented as she looked at one of the bound young woman. She was nude, her hair was tar black and frail looking. Her skin looked like it was rotting, and her eyes were glowing yellow, though not as brightly as a younger Little Sister. She was drugged into nearly unconsciousness, and didn't even seem to register the presence of Katie and the others.

"Can anything be done for them?" Eleanor inquired as she peered into one of the cells while Delta let out a grunt that probably stemmed from Eleanor's agitation with the whole situation.

"I can try and fix them, but with how they see the world, who knows how they'll react." Riley replied with a sigh.

Eleanor offered a nod, but Katie gave the two a look of confusion. "What do you mean by that?"

"When they are turned into Little Sisters, they are conditioned to view the world in a certain way. Blood is rose petals. Corpses have Angel wings around them and look like they're sleeping. The splicers look like people wearing masquerade masks. All of it is done to keep the sisters from realizing the horror of what they're doing. These little girls see a utopia of gold and marble, and they never realize that the city is in ruins. Hell, they see their Big Daddy guards as knights in golden armor." Riley replied.

"She's not wrong." Eleanor agreed.

Katie let out an angry huff in reply, but didn't say anything else.

Riley, meanwhile, stepped into one of the cells and began to run a scan of one of the Big Sisters. She guessed they were all under some form of mind control or additional conditioning. After a few moments, Riley stepped away from the Sister and activated her Byakugan. She scanned the city for any other living people, she found very few. The city was basically empty at this point. There were probably fewer then a hundred splicers left, locked in vaults or hiding in cabinets to avoid the swarm of Kryll. Satisfied, Riley resealed the Kryll into Kamui and started to create several dozen wood clones.

She then gave them all orders, making sure to leave one to work on the Big Sisters.

With that done she turned to her family, "Ready to leave?" Riley inquired.

"Absolutely." Katie replied.

"Finally." Eleanor nodded, as Delta gave out a deep bellow. He was much more relaxed then he was in Eleanor's youth. Probably because Eleanor was older now and had much more control over their bond. She could send her thoughts to him and keep him calm and relaxed. She could also ensure that he understood who was a friend and who was a foe.

"Well then… Let's go." Riley stated as she stuck out her hands to Katie, and Eleanor. Delta placed his hand on Eleanor's shoulder and Riley drew all of them, along with herself, into Kamui.

Eleanor took a few moments to be astounded by Kamui's landscape before Riley withdrew them from her pocket dimension, bringing all four of them to the surface at the lighthouse.

There was a powerful storm raging outside and the whole building quaked under the power of the ocean.

"It's time to go to sleep, right?" Eleanor inquired.

"Yes. When you two wake up, you'll be home." Riley replied with a smile.

Eleanor nodded and quickly hugged Riley and then Katie, she then looked at Delta and offered the metal man a smile.

"Just a little bit longer father, and we'll finally be home." Eleanor told him, earning a grunt in reply. Riley then took the opportunity to stun the metal man, causing him to fall to the ground with a large thump. She then turned to Eleanor and offered the girl a smile. Eleanor smiled back and then locked eyes with Riley. Just like with Elizabeth, Riley induced sleep with a powerful Genjutsu, and Eleanor fell to the ground. Katie caught her before she hit the ground and gently laid her next to Delta.

Riley then sealed the two up and created another wood clone. Her plan was the same as before. She took the scroll she sealed the two in, and placed it in an impregnable box and then had her clone take it to Britain. This time she ordered it placed in the field behind her house.

Riley then turned to Katie and gave her a smile as Riley's clone took off with the box.

"What now?" Katie inquired.

"Time to wake up." Riley responded and just like that, everything turned black, and then a loud popping noise could be heard as the time turner they were using, shattered.

"Welcome back." Daphne greeted them as Riley and Katie shook their heads and looked around. All of Riley's mates were there, along with Elizabeth, all staring at Riley and Katie with inquisitive looks.

"Let's go get Eleanor." Katie stated with a smile, as she and Riley motioned for the others to follow them outside.

"Eleanor?" Fleur inquired with a smile.

"Beautiful name, isn't it." Riley stated as she led the group outside and away from her home.

"Yet another young girl joins the family. How many more daughters do you think we have?" Daphne inquired.

"Well, depending on how many kids we have, I'd say half of them are female." Riley replied with a proud smile at her own obvious answer.

"You're so smart." Daphne replied with an unamused look.

The others just chuckled at the two, as they made their way to a spot far from the house. Riley then lifted up the earth to find her wood clone, waiting there for her. She took the box from it and it dispersed.

With that, she removed it's contents, unfurled the scroll and unsealed Eleanor and Delta, earning a few shocked gasps from her mates when they saw the tall metal protector.

Riley quickly Ennervated the two of them and the duo rose, Delta making a deep bellowing noise as he did.

"Relax father, we are alright." Eleanor stated as she placed a hand on his arm to calm the metal one down.

"Father?" Daphne parroted as she gave Riley a look.

"This is Delta, he was made into Eleanor's guard when she was little. They hold a powerful bond with one another. She knows Katie and I are her biological parents but Delta is the person she chose as her father." Riley explained as she helped Eleanor to her feet.

Eleanor took a moment to look up the sky in utter amazement. It was summer time in Britain, the air was warm and humid, and the sky was clear and inviting.

"Wow." Eleanor stated with complete awe.

"She lived under the ocean her whole life. She's never seen the sky before." Katie explained to her fellow mates and Elizabeth earning nods of understanding from them.

"She looks like you, Katie." Fleur stated as she hugged Katie from behind and rested her chin on Katie's shoulder.

"Yeah." Katie replied with a smile.

"Welcome home." Riley stated, drawing Eleanor's attention to her. The two locked eyes for a few moments before Eleanor glanced around at the group around her.

"Eleanor, I'd like to introduce you to my mates, That's Fleur, Luna, and Daphne. And this is your half-sister, Elizabeth. Ladies, this is Eleanor." Riley introduced them all.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you all." Eleanor replied with a smile.

The girls smiled in reply and greeted her warmly.

"Well, let's get back to the house, I'll introduce you to your grandmother, along with Sirius and Remus." Riley stated after a moment of silence.

Eleanor nodded and allowed herself to once again become engrossed in the sights and the smells of the area. The rolling hills, the nearby forest, the sky, the sounds of planes flying high overhead, birds chirping… it was all so engrossing.

"It's quite overwhelming isn't it?" Elizabeth inquired stepping up next to her half-sister.

"It sure is." Eleanor replied, before glancing at her half-sister and offering her a smile. Elizabeth smiled back and the two linked arms and wandered towards the house, following behind Riley and her mates. Delta followed behind the two young girls, letting out a rumbling bellow as he did.

"Boy do I have quite the story to tell." Riley stated to her mates as she led the way home.

"Well… with you Riley, that's kinda how it always goes." Daphne stated, earning a nod of agreement from her fellow mates.

From there, they all returned home. Riley and Katie explained to everyone about Rapture and the things that they had encountered there. While Riley's mates were definitely intrigued by what they had found in Rapture, they were righteously pissed when they heard about Eleanor's fate as a child as well as the fates of dozens of other little girls.

Afterwords Eleanor quickly integrated into the family, meeting Sirius, Remus and Kushina. Riley also introduced Eleanor to Hashirama and Madara. Eleanor was ecstatic to have so many family members and spent a great deal of her time speaking with them, learning all there was to learn about them.

She quickly formed a bond with her half-sister Elizabeth and the two became inseparable. They were around the same age and had similar interests. Both enjoyed reading, both enjoyed exploring. They both liked to make things, Eleanor being more mechanical while Elizabeth was more artistic.

Eleanor quickly fell under Riley's tutelage and began learning how to harness her demonic power. Where Elizabeth was timid with the prospect of embracing those dark powers, Eleanor was excited by it. She yearned to become who she was born to be, and learning to control her own demonic youki was an enthralling endeavor for the young woman.

Delta didn't have much of an opinion on things. He followed Eleanor around and would make the occasional grunt or moan, but otherwise, he stood as a silent guardian. More then once, Riley peaked into his mind, checking for anything that would lead her to believe he could be returned to normal. She never found much. He still had certain morals, Delta was protective and he would often stand guard over Eleanor's bed while she slept, but he was much more calm then when she was a child. Though due to his conditioning under the 'gentle' watch of the denizens of rapture, there was barely anything left of who Delta use to be.

Without anything deep within him, there was really no point in trying to fix him. Delta didn't want to be fixed. All he wanted in life was to protect Eleanor. He wanted her safe, and happy. And in many ways, Riley appreciated that. She knew the metal man would protect her daughter to his dying breath. He didn't have any other ambitions.

A few days after waking Eleanor, Riley had a chat with Itachi and Tom. She explained to the two about what was going on with her kids and the time travel. The two were naturally dumbfounded by this, but Riley showed them proof in her memories.

Once that was done, She took Itachi, Kakashi, Tom, Madara, Hashirama, Lucius, Shikaku, and Shibi to Rapture. Those that she hadn't informed of her time traveling escapades were left absolutely speechless.

In the decades since Riley had left the city, her clones had wiped out the remaining splicers. The city's only inhabitants now were Big Daddies, Big sisters, and Riley's clones.

It took about a month after Riley had left for Brigid Tenenbaum to finish collecting and curing the Little Sisters. She then took them and departed from the city, presumably to return them to their families. None of them ever came back.

In the years since then, Riley's clones had worked on healing the Big Sisters. It was by no means an easy process and in the end she only had minor success. She had been able to free them from Lamb's conditioning, and they now possessed free will, however they were emotionally stunted. When Riley freed them, they all had the emotional range of little girls. Even though they had the bodies and minds of teenagers.

The Big Sisters, had extremely long life spans, as they hadn't seemed to have aged much in the more then twenty years that had passed. They all still looked like teenage girls. At first, things were hard and the Big Sisters spent most of their time traveling with the Big Daddies whom Riley had reconditioned to follow her orders. After a while though the Big Sisters started to mature again and find their way to Riley. Just like children, they watched her curiously as she went about her work. They followed her here and there, always interested in what she was doing. In a way, they became her helpers, fetching things for her, and helping her find things if she didn't know where they were. It seems that much like their physical growth, the Big Sister's Emotional growth was also slowed. Even after two decades most of them acted like girls in their younger teenage years. Still, they had come to view Riley's wood clones as mother figures, and were eager to be of assistance and help wherever they could.

Much like Delta, the Big Daddies had nothing in their minds anymore, other then the protection of the Little Sisters and the restoration and upkeep of Rapture. Without the Little ones, the Big Daddies fulfilled their secondary purposes. They had spent the last twenty years rebuilding the damaged city.

With Riley using runes to reinforce the city, the Big Daddies were able to fully repair it, in about a decade.

While that was going on, Riley's clones did every bit of research one could imagine. They studied Adam, the machines, the sea slugs, various plasmids, the Big Sisters, the Big Daddies, everything was studied to a fine detail and reports were written up in preparation for when the real Riley would return.

With that done, Riley now had a straightforward source of information on everything there was to know about Rapture, and also, she had access to the numerous advancements her clones had made in that time.

She explained to her company all of the amazing things that Rapture had to offer, and Riley fully intended to exploit those things to benefit Britain and the Legion. While she'd keep Adam use to a minimum, there were many beneficial uses for it. It could be programmed to fully regrow limbs, which would be beneficial for repairing limbs that had been removed and cursed to reject reattachment.

Riley fully intended to offer Fleur a chance to have her arm regrown. The prosthetic she had now, worked perfectly, but it still wasn't her true arm, and at times Fleur would have phantom pains and could be seen scratching at her prosthetic. Riley didn't know if she'd take the offer, but she felt it couldn't hurt to ask.

Aside from medical advancements, Riley talked to the various commanders of the Legion about utilizing Adam to strengthen their forces.

"But how do we avoid the threat of addiction, and the mental damage?" Itachi inquired as they sat around chatting about the subject.

"Well, for the mental part, my clones have spent the last twenty years gathering up sea slugs and creating a habitat for them. They've been gathering Adam straight from the source without the need for the Little Sisters, thus the Adam is all natural and has never been used in a human body, meaning it wont carry any old memories with it. So I'm pretty sure we don't have to worry about mental damage. As for the other part of your question, Adam itself isn't very addictive. It's about as addicting as gambling. For most people, they can gamble and then be done with it. The act of gambling isn't actually addicting, it's the chance of winning that makes it so addicting. The act of throwing your money away isn't a popular idea, but if there's a chance you could win big, it starts to become more enticing. For most people, after you lose so much, you get tired of it and walk away. Only a handful of people develop addiction to it, usually as a coping mechanism for other problems." Riley explained to them.

"Adam is much the same way. For a muggle, getting the ability to shoot lightning from your fingertips or freeze things in place is an immensely enticing prospect. The ability to make yourself stronger or faster, by taking a tonic or two is something most muggles would jump at the chance to do. For magicals however it's not as enticing. We already have the power to shoot lightning at stuff and set fires with our magic. We can make ourselves stronger with potions or rituals. Shinobi use chakra to jump higher, run faster, and hit harder. For magicals, Adam by it's very nature, isn't as tempting for us to continue use of it, past what we'd require it for." Riley finished with her explanation earning nods of understanding from those around her.

"So then how do we keep people from abusing it? And, how do we stop our soldiers from becoming reliant on it?" Shikaku inquired as he took a drag from his cigarette.

"Well first and foremost, I think outside of medical usage, Adam should be contained to military use and labeled an S-ranked secret. Secondly I think it should be used as a baseline for our soldiers." Riley replied.

"What do you mean by that?" Lucius inquired.

"Imagine being able to have a set standard for the individual levels of our army. Let's say you set a baseline for all new recruits. Once these recruits earn their place and earn our trust as new members of the legion, they are given Gene Tonics to raise their level of physical abilities to a set standard if they are not already there. We give Adam to those that earn it, through their deeds and through their own merit as they rise through the ranks. Every rookie will at least be this good. Every elite will at least have all of these skills. Envision an army that is infinitely more modular then any other magical army, because at their base, everyone of a certain rank is at a certain level." Riley explained, almost as if she was giving a sales pitch. The group looked contemplative as they listened to her idea, and you could tell, their minds were running.

"So, you think we can standardize our forces physical skills? Set up base levels of physical abilities that all of our soldiers will possess?" Tom stated, earning a nod from Riley.

"I think with proper testing, even without the numbers, we'll be able to create the most powerful army in the world. Adam grants the ability but you still need to learn how to use it. I can give Kakashi a Gene Tonic that'll make him stronger but he still needs to train himself to use that strength and use it wisely. With Adam, proper magical training, proper physical training, and utilization of the highest grade of technological equipment, we can ensure no one can ever defeat us." Riley replied.

"You intend to incorporate muggle technology into the Legion?" Tom inquired curiously as he heard her mention technology.

"Many people still hold to their traditions, and I wont force the people of Britain to adapt to muggle technology, however when it comes to our military, our forces will not be denied any advantage. I wont force any of them to use a gun, but they will all know how to operate one. I wont force them to use muggle explosives, but they will know how to use them. I wont force them to have a car but they will know how to operate one." Riley replied earning a nod of agreement from the Shinobi of the group. Ninja knew that one should never turn down an advantage, especially when it was as simple as a bomb or a gun.

"I agree. The purpose of the Legion as a secret group for the Death Eaters is no longer necessary. If any of them refuse to use muggle technology and can't handle it's use in the military, they are free to leave. A quick visit to the Yamanaka, and we never have to worry about them spilling our secrets." Shikaku stated. After the battle at the Hellsing Mansion, Shikaku had started looking into weapons like firearms, after all, ninja never turn away a tool for battle.

"As long as it isn't forced on them, I don't see many resisting the advancements." Voldemort noted.

"I agree. Many in the Legion are more fueled by their desire to defeat Iwa and Oto rather then their traditions. In all truths, with war very near on the horizon, now would be the best time to introduce them to firearms, as many wouldn't care where it came from so long as it helps them defeat our foes." Lucius agreed.

"Plus, my Wood Clones have come up with some interesting ideas to incorporate magic into firearms." Riley stated as she led them to a firing range to show off some of her clone's advancements.

Over the years Riley's clones had used their knowledge of modern weapons, gained from absorbing the memories of thousands of people, some of them ex military, to upgrade Rapture's arsenal. Knowing full well that her army would be used as both an aggressive force and a state sponsored Mercenary band, meant that her clones decided to ensure that the weapons they chose would fit in line with the Legion's purposes.

After a bit of trial and error coupled with a few trips to the surface to steal the required texts, Riley was able to fully upgrade Rapture's arsenal. Utilizing a large number of clones and a few of Rapture's automated assembly lines, Riley's clones were able to mass produce the required firearms in preparation for the future.

Now, when it came to choosing what guns to utilize, Riley's thought process was simple, guns are tools, just like kunai, shuriken, smoke bombs, and bomb tags. Shinobi philosophy is that a simple gardening tool can often be a better weapon then an extravagant sword. So with that in mind, her choice for an assault rifle, was the AK-74. The weapon belonged to the most widely used family of guns on the planet, it was utilized by terrorist groups, militia, mercenaries, and a multitude of government forces on the planet. Riley's thought process was that the best weapon for her forces to learn how to use, would be the one they were likely to face, the most, in the world.

Rifles that belonged to that family were known to be above all else, reliable. That is what Riley wanted. Cheap, efficient and reliable.

For a handgun, she chose the M1911, again, a staunch sidearm, utilized by the U.S. army for decades. If that didn't say something of the weapon's reliability, then nothing else would. Riley cared little for flashiness or over expensive weapons, she just wanted something that would function and could take a beating.

Next was a sub-machine gun, and Riley went with the MP5, no real explanation was needed, it was a weapon that boasted a great deal of diversity and was again, reliable and cheap to produce.

For a close range weapon, Riley went with the Remington 870, it had been created in the 50s and was still in production, it was a time tested weapon, and she had experienced it's power on more then a few of her excursions to slaughter the filth of the world.

As for long range Rifles, Riley actually decided on a different path for this weapon choice. Instead of cost effective and reliable, she went with something that had the greatest killing potential in the hands of someone like a Hyuuga or an Uchiha, whom could use their eyes to hit targets at extreme range or see through materials. She chose the Barret M82, for it's stopping power, and sheer effective range. This was a weapon she didn't mind being costly as the ability to take off a person's skull at over a kilometer away was something you couldn't put a price tag on, in Riley's opinion.

Finally by upgrading grenades, and proximity bombs with more modern technological implements, as well as introducing the RPG-7 into Rapture's arsenal, she was able to fully round out her weapon choices. The whole idea behind most of her weapon choices were rugged and gritty weapons that were time tested in battle. Much like kunai and Shuriken, these were some of the simpler weapons in the world, built to be functional, reliable, and cost affective.

With those weapon choices, Riley's clone went about making certain modifications to the weapons. Each gun got a silencing seal placed on the chamber, and barrel, that would silence the initial pop of the weapon. Then Riley added a rune, tied into a silencing charm, that would extend past the end of the barrel to silence the sound of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. In this way, the guns were almost completely silent, when they needed to be.

She then underwent several trials to try and find the best way to increase reloading speeds, and she settled for designing several runes and charms into the weapon's magazines, so that by channeling magic into a single rune carved into the side of the magazine once removed from the gun, the spring would pull the loader down, and a summoning seal would fill the magazine with bullets.

This ensured a few things. One, a single soldier of hers could carry thousands of rounds without needing scrolls or multiple magazines, cutting costs in that area. Two, there wouldn't be an issue with weight since a single soldier would only need one or two magazines a weapon. And three, they'd almost never run out of ammo.

For weapons, like the shotgun, Riley designed a rune pattern and seal combination that would cause a round to appear in the magazine, behind the rest, every time a new round was chambered. This ensured that the weapon never needed to be reloaded, except to seal more rounds into it.

She showed this to her comrades and they were all greatly impressed by the ingenuity of it. She had taken muggle weaponry and had made them her own. The kicker for some of them, came when Riley showed them what she could do by infusing the elements into a bullet.

Wind increased piercing potential, allowing a round from the M1911 to pierce medium vehicle armor with enough chakra. Earth, increased the mass of the round, meaning that it delivered much more force in a strike. For the Barret M82, that meant that each round it fired could wreck a fully armored tank with the kinetic force it delivered, if enough Earth chakra was used.

Lightning, infused the round with electricity turning it into a gun/Taser hybrid, delivering an electric jolt when impacting a target. Water was much the same in that it infused the round with water, on it's own it did little, but that water could be mixed with poison or acid to ensure that any bullets impacting a target would not only do their normal damage but leave something terrible behind in it's wake.

Fire was the most devastating, when the round hit it would release a small blast of fire, turning the weapon into a long range flamethrower.

Seeing the magical modifications she had made and what could be done when you added magic to muggle firearms convinced Lucius and Tom that there wouldn't be much issue in getting the Legion to accept firearms.

The group watched as Itachi tried out the Barret M82 and easily took the head off a metal target at 100 yards. The shot was taken from a standing position and the Uchiha had no issue at all hitting the target at that range. Itachi actually wanted to try it on something further away, but Rapture didn't have a space that was a kilometer long that you could fire guns at.

"What do you think?" Riley inquired as Itachi examined the target through the scope.

"In the hands of anyone with a doujutsu, a weapon such as this would make them an extremely lethal threat." Itachi replied as he set the heavy weapon down.

"Helluva shot." Kakashi commented. A shot fired from an AK-74 could be followed by his Sharingan but it was only barely. A shot from the Barret was a blur to his eye. Due to their incredible strength and ability to anchor themselves to the ground, shinobi had no difficulties firing the high powered anti-material rifle. Nor did they have any issue keeping their sights on target due to recoil.

"With these weapons, plus the automated defense weapons, and Adam, we'll quickly become the most powerful magical army in the world." Riley stated earning nods of agreement from her fellow commanders. Witnessing what the arsenal could do, really convinced them all that evolution was the way to go, when it came to their military. The normal person on the streets didn't need to worry about muggle tech if they didn't want too, but if you were gonna fight in the army, you were gonna at least learn to use these weapons, so that if you needed to, you'd have the skills to use them.

A few days later, the news was delivered to the Legion of the addition of firearms, it was met by acceptance by most of the ninja and many witches and wizards that either trusted Voldemort and or Riley, or those whom only really wanted to kill Iwa and Oto nin for their repeated attacks on Britian. There were a few dissenters or people who were hesitant, but few people spoke outright against the idea, mostly because Voldemort supported adapting and learning how to use the weapons, after all it was like the shinobi thought, guns were tools of warfare, and as an army they needed to adapt.

One of the most vocal in their beliefs that guns weren't necessary was Fenrir Greyback whom often butted heads with Voldemort on issues.

"Why the fuck should I be afraid of these weapons? Muggles can't kill my kind without silver." Greyback bellowed during the meeting, earning a few nods of agreement from other werewolves or a few vampires in the crowd whom also couldn't be killed by regular guns.

"Why? You're asking why you should be afraid?" Riley inquired. She earned a nod from Fenrir, while certain other members of the Legion, mostly those whom were part of Fenrir's pack nodded in agreement. Werewolves were difficult for magicals to kill, in many of their minds, a muggle would stand no chance.

"Have you ever heard of the term, 'silver bullet'? Riley asked as she held up a bullet and then transfigured it to look like a silver bullet. The question and display caused Fenrir to adopt a look of realization.

"She's right Fenrir, just because there are no werewolf hunting groups here in Britain other then the Aurors, doesn't mean that groups in other parts of the world don't utilize firearms and silver to easily dispatch your kind." Tom stated in agreement. Fenrir dropped his argument after that, and at that point Riley began showing them all the magical applications of the weapons.

Riley also took this opportunity to discuss the Legion utilizing the Possession Vigor, allowing them to infuse their will into machines for a limited amount of time. Riley had, had Luna test the Vigor's affects on various machines, and it always allowed her to control them. She could make vending machines spew out food, she could get cars to turn on and drive on their own, she could do a great number of things with the power of the Vigor, and it's applications in dealing with muggles down the line, were near limitless.

It was definitely something that Riley was getting into, but her numerous projects and plans were put on hold as her wedding date, quickly approached.

All of Riley's friends had been invited, and the ceremony would be immensely packed with numerous well wishers, political allies, and those looking to gain favor. Daphne and her mother had handled all of the details as Riley didn't really care much. Riley's joy came from the fact that she and Daphne would be married, the specifics weren't important to her so she just left that up to Daphne.

Riley had plans of leaving the study of possible Tonic, Plasmid, and Vigor combinations to Madara and Hashirama, while she and Daphne were on their honeymoon, and Riley had left Tom and Itachi in charge of the Legion, while she was away. Daphne had also asked Arturia to keep an eye on Hellsing while she was away. Daphne had yet to be in a meeting with the rest of the Knight's of the Round Table, but Arturia had, and had quickly taken command of the group. They all had orders from the Queen to follow Arturia's command, so it wouldn't be a very noticeable shift for them.

On that note, Daphne also delivered a list of rules for her pet vampire, Alucard. She didn't care what he did in his free time, but she wanted him to remain hidden, and he couldn't kill any innocent person. She made it very clear to him, that she didn't care how many people he fed on, so long as they weren't regular innocent people that were just going about their lives. She was also very specific when she explained to him, her definition of 'innocent'. So long as they weren't actively ruining the lives of other people through their actions, they were to be left alone. Alucard simply found it amusing, but agreed none the less. Her kosher attitude in regards to his killings was met with approval. She wasn't a monster, but she didn't care if bad people died.

So while the two of them got their affairs in order, Riley made sure to send out her clones to keep her various projects moving forward, while she was with Daphne.

As a side note, the school year ended, with Riley and her friends doing well on their OWL's, now there was only two years left of Hogwarts, and with her OWL's passed, Riley wasn't sure if she'd remain for the final two years or not, the only thing that made her think she'd stay was if her mates decided to remain and finish their schooling.

But she had all summer to decide on that, and if it came down to it, she'd probably just send clones, but regardless, she had a wedding to attend before worrying about that.

-Two days before the wedding-

"Are you sure about this?" Kaede inquired as she stared down at the invite.

"I'm positive. I want you to come." Riley replied with a smile. Daphne had sent Kaede an invite a week ago, but the young woman hadn't responded back, so Riley had gone to personally see whether she would be there or not.

Kaede had been nervous about attending. She really liked Riley, and the thought of seeing her married to someone, whom Kaede was very jealous of, brought forward a fear that she would repeat the actions that destroyed Kouta's life.

"Really?" Kaede inquired, giving Riley a look that spoke volumes of her fears.

"It'll be alright Kaede, I trust you, and I want you there." Riley stated with a warm smile. Riley could feel Kaede's fear and knew that she must have been worried about how she'd react to seeing Riley married to someone else.

"I… okay. I guess I'll be there." Kaede stated after a moment.

"You don't have to be nervous Kaede. I want you to be there. You're my friend, and I like you, and I want you there on one of the happiest days of my life." Riley stated when she sensed her friends nervousness.

"I… I really appreciate that Riley, it's just… seeing you there… I like you Riley, and I ruined my relationship with Kouta because I was jealous, and I can't see myself being there and not being jealous." Kaede admitted after a moment.

"I understand. I like you two, Kaede. And if it helps, when I get back, how about we go on a date?" Riley asked, earning a surprised look, and then a blush from Kaede.

"I'd like that. I really would." Kaede replied, a small smile gracing her face as she averted her eyes, shyly.

"Good. I hope you have fun, I'll see you there." Riley stated with a smile as she quickly kissed Kaede on the cheek and darted off, not sticking around long enough to see the deep red blush on the girl's face.

"What am I getting into Hakiro?" Kaede asked her dog as she closed the door and sat on her bed. The pup gave her a curious look and offered her a bark.

"Right." Kaede agreed with the dog. She then let herself smile, as she started to fantasize about her date with Riley.

-That Night-

Riley lay in bed, gently stroking Daphne's back. The five ladies had just been through three long hours of intense love making, and were currently trying to sleep off sex induced fatigue.

"How are you feeling?" Riley inquired as she raked her nails gently over Daphne's back, earning a purr of delight.

"Heavenly." Daphne mumbled in response.

Riley smirked down at her lover, before settling in next to her. Riley continued to run her nails along Daphne's back lulling her further and further into sleep.

"Only a few more days and we'll be married." Riley commented as she leaned down and started running kisses along Daphne's shoulder.

"Yeah." Daphne replied with a smile as she turned her head for Riley to kiss her cheek.

"Any regrets?" Riley inquired.

"Only that I didn't choose to start this sooner." Daphne replied as she rolled onto her back and looked up at Riley.

Riley stared down at her and took this opportunity to give Daphne's body a once over. She had filled out a lot in the two years since they had started dating, her hips were fuller, her breasts larger, and her features much more womanly. A small amount of muscle was visible along her arms and legs, she had a body the looked like a combination of a model, and a jogger. Daphne had gone from a pretty young bird, to an absolutely gorgeous young woman.

"Gods, you are so beautiful." Riley stated with a smile as she locked eyes with her mate.

Daphne allowed a small smile to flit onto her face. Riley could be such a charmer when she wanted to be, and her voice was so sultry and smooth that it sent shivers up Daphne's spine, whenever Riley started to speak like that.

"Do you have any regrets?" Daphne inquired after a moment.

"Only one." Riley replied as she leaned down and kissed Daphne on the lips.

"What is it?" Daphne asked as the two separated.

"I know… one day… hopefully many year from now, we'll be separated by death. So I regret not saying 'I love you', everyday." Riley answered her question with a sad loving smile.

"You've never had to say it to me, Riley. I've always known. Every time I look in your eyes, I know you love me. That's enough for me." Daphne stated as the two moved closer to each other, and Daphne wrapped her arms behind Riley's neck, holding her close, as Riley hovered over her. The result was the two being eye to eye with one another.

"You're too good for me." Riley stated with a smile as the two locked lips.

"I know." Daphne replied with a chuckle, earning one from Riley as well.

There was a silent moment between the two when Riley finally stated, "I love you Daph, I can't imagine my life without you in it."

Daphne found herself smiling. As a child, she hadn't had many hopes for things like love. Her future was always going to be political and business-like. She wasn't meant to be happy, she was meant to achieve. That was her whole life. Then she met Riley and everything changed. With Riley she could gain everything she had sought her whole life, and more then that, she could be loved unconditionally. It always felt like a dream being with Riley. Like their relationship was too perfect to exist in the world Daphne had been prepared to live in.

After a long time of staring into Riley's glowing purple eyes, Daphne stated with full conviction and an open heart, "I love you Riley."

"I cannot wait for you to be my wife." Riley stated as the two kissed.

"I am exhausted and literally cannot feel my legs, will you two just fuck and go to sleep please!" They both heard Katie snap at them. The two glanced over and spotted Katie, glaring at them with serious bed head.

"The fuck happened to you?" Riley inquired as Daphne let out a laugh.

"Don't even start with me Riley." Katie stated as she settled back into bed.

"You want me to try the back door next time?" Riley asked as she and Daphne let out a chuckle.

"Fuck both of you." Katie stated with a huff as she turned her back to them. Daphne and Riley shared a look before crawling over to Katie.

"Please..." Katie whined as they rolled her onto her back, and Daphne kissed her on the lips. She may have been tired, but the chance to screw around with a disgruntled Katie, it was rare to get a chance like that.

Riley meanwhile, found her way between Katie's legs and was running kisses along her pussy.

"God dammit. I'm going to regret this." Katie whined as her hand found it's way to Riley's head. She began running her hand through her demonic lover's hair while Daphne and her continued to kiss.

"You shouldn't of turned your back on her, you know Riley can't resist that perfect ass of yours." Daphne whispered as she kissed Katie again and playfully nibbled on her bottom lip.

"Will you two just go bug Fleur, I'm sure she wouldn't mind going again?" Katie asked as she let out a moan.

"Alright, we'll leave you alone, but first I gotta hear that voice of yours. Those sounds, always get my blood pumping." Riley stated as she looked up at Katie from her position between Katie's legs.

Feeling Riley's hot breath on her pussy, caused goosebumps to run all along Katie's body. Even as sore and tired as she was, Sex with Riley was just too pleasurable to turn down. The only time she ever had to willpower to deny the lustful demoness was when she had her period and was feeling like shit. Aside from those times, she'd have sex whenever Riley wanted too.

"Fuck. Fine." Katie moaned as Riley turned her attention to her lover's pussy.

"You just can't resist." Daphne teased.

"Well… in a few days, it'll be you she's fucking every chance she gets." Katie moaned out.

"And I'll enjoy every second of it." Daphne countered as she kissed Katie.

A moment went by before Daphne glanced over to where Fleur and Luna were sleeping. She found the two were awake and watching them with smirks on their faces.

All three started to laugh as Katie let out another loud moan, unable to resist Riley's pleasurable ministrations.

-The Next Day-

"So what are we doing today ladies?" Riley inquired. All five of them were excited for the wedding the following day, and the whole country was abuzz with news on the marriage between Riley and Daphne. After all, it wasn't often that a same sex marriage occurred between the noble houses, so it was quite the talk of the town. Not to mention the fact, that this was a marriage the included the country's hero, in Riley.

"We' are going to hang out with the ladies and take Daphne to enjoy her last night as a free woman." Katie replied as she pulled on her shirt.

"And you're leaving me behind?" Riley asked, confused.

"Yes, my love. Your grandpapas have a special day planned for you." Fleur replied as she helped Luna straighten out the dress she was wearing.

"We're going to go and treat Daphne to a great day. You've got your own special day already planned. So… say goodbye to Daph, because you don't get to see her again until your wedding." Katie told Riley as she walked up and gave Riley a quick kiss before heading for the door. Luna and Fleur repeated the ritual, though Daphne held back a little longer, the two sharing a moment where they just stared into each others eyes. Daphne didn't need to be able to sense emotions to know that Riley was excited for tomorrow.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Daphne whispered as she hugged Riley close.

"I look forward to the moment I can call you my wife." Riley replied, earning a blush from Daphne as she turned to follow her fellow mates out of the room.

Riley stood in silence for several moments before Sirius poked his head into the room, "Hey pup, how are you feeling?"

"Excited. Nervous. I just want tomorrow to get here." Riley replied as she headed over to him and the two moved downstairs. Riley sent a glance at the fireplace as it bellowed green flames, the telltale sign of someone exiting through it.

"So… apparently your grandfathers have quite the idea for a fun afternoon." Sirius noted.

"I'm not sure. They haven't said a word to me about what they have planned." Riley replied with a shrug.

"And it was for a good reason." Hashirama stated as he walked into the room with Madara.

"So… what's on the menu for me today?" Riley inquired.

"Hashirama and I have been spit balling ideas, and we've decided to get into contact with some of your friends, and set up a little tournament." Madara replied as he motioned for her to step forward.

She quickly stepped up next to him, along with Hashirama, Sirius, and Remus.

"Where's mother and Arturia?" Riley inquired.

"They're both already there, getting it started." Hashirama replied as he placed a hand on Riley's shoulder. Once they were all touching, Madara pulled out a portkey and muttered the activation phrase. They were all quickly teleported to Pentref Cysgodion Hud.

Once there, Riley was greeted to the sight of her male friends, Itachi and the Uchiha, Naruko and Hinata, Kushina, a multitude of Death Eaters, Tom, Kaede, Kakashi, Arturia, and numerous Leaf ninja from various clans.

"What the fuck is going on here?" Riley asked as she looked at the gathered group.

"A tournament. Straight tiajutsu, One on one, to see who's got the best skills. We've decided to make a day of it. We'll occasionally have a few matches that are more… unique then others but otherwise, we figured what better way to spend the day, then fighting." Madara answered her, earning chuckles and nods of agreement from the crowd.

"Awesome. Let's do this." Riley said with a grin as she walked up next to Draco and Goyle.

"You ready to be impressed?" Goyle asked.

"If you throw a straight punch, then I'll be impressed." Riley sniped back with a smirk earning a face from Goyle and a laugh from Draco.

"Alright fighters, you've all got your numbers. Unless stated otherwise by the two participants, it's just gonna be straight taijutsu. No chakra, just whatever fighting style you've come up with." Hashirama addressed the crowd.

"First match will be between our lovely bachelorette, and Might Guy!" Tom stated as the crowd moved to gather around a large thirty meter wide fighting arena.

"Aw hell yeah." Riley cheered as she ran into the ring.

"Yes! We never got a chance to test the flames of our youth against one another before, but now… we've finally got the chance to shine!" Guy cheered as he joined her in the ring.

"So if we both agree we can alter the rules?" Riley inquired as Itachi stepped in to proctor the match.

"That's correct." Itachi replied with a nod.

"Then how about it Might Guy, a no holds bar, all out Taijutsu match?" Riley inquired with a smirk.

"YES! I AGREE! LET'S ALLOW OUR INNER FLAMES TO ERUPT IN A FIERY DISPLAY OF PASSION!" Guy replied with glee.

"Very well then. All taijutsu is allowed, nothing else. Good luck both of you." Itachi stated, earning a nod from both participants as they fell into battle stances.

With a roar of cheers Itachi began the match and the two combatants charged at one another delivering a flurry of punches and kicks, it only took a moment, but Riley felt her blood begin to pump and a grin tore across her face. This was gonna be one helluva day.

-Meanwhile-

"You look so excited." Daphne's mother stated as she, Daphne's family, and a number of Daphne's friends sat around relaxing on the beach.

"I am." Daphne replied.

"You are positively glowing Daphne. What did Riley say to you last night?" Fleur inquired when she noticed how happy Daphne seemed to be.

"Well… typical Riley, she loves me, she can't imagine life without me, you know how she is." Daphne replied, playing off just how much those words actually meant to her.

"Riley is such a sweetheart when she's trying to get laid." Katie noted gaining uproarious laughter from several of the other woman present, including Astoria, Pansy, and Tracy.

"I still can't believe you started sleeping with her so quickly." Astoria stated as she gave her sister a teasing look.

"Yeah well Daphne has always been a bit of a perv she just hides it well." Tracy stated with a smirk, earning a glare from Daphne.

"Ladies, and you, Astoria leave Daphne alone. What your sister does with her girlfriend is none of our business." Daphne's mother warned earning a pouting look from Astoria, whom wanted to keep teasing Daphne about it.

"Take that, brat." Daphne stated with a smile, as she gave her sister a superior look.

"Any kids planned for the future, o Sister of mine?" Astoria inquired.

"Maybe someday." Daphne replied, as she thought about Elizabeth and Eleanor, whom were at Riley's tournament, enjoying the fights.

"So Daph, how are you gonna spice up your honeymoon if you've already gone all the way with Riley?" Tracy inquired with a mischievous smirk.

"Girls." Daphne's mother stated warningly.

"Aw, she will be all alone dealing with Riley and her lustful desires." Fleur couldn't help but tease.

Daphne made a face and then quickly adopted a look of fear. "Dammit you're right, what in the fuck am I gonna do with that raunchy slut?"

"Daphne! Language!" Her mother scolded trying not to laugh.

"Yeah, I hope you enjoy being the one she violates in the middle of the night. God dammit, all I wanted to do was sleep, but you two wouldn't let me. You had a perfectly good naked Veela sleeping two feet away and you choose to bug me. God dammit." Katie whined.

"You should be happy they chose to annoy you, rather then Fleur. Must say something about your skill in bed." Luna noted with a chuckle, earning a giggle from the group of women.

Daphne's mother had her head in her hands blushing deeply, Daphne's Aunt, her grandmother on her father's side, and a few of her female cousins sat nearby watching with amusement and interest as they learned more about the great Hero of the Burning Leaf.

"Aw… Katie, you must have been really sore, you usually are all for getting woken up for some late night fun." Fleur teased.

"Yeah well, for reasons I cannot fathom she chose to go a full twelve inches with me, I still feel it in my gut. I blame Fleur for this." Katie fired back, this earned a cascade of laughter from those around them as those who were not members of Riley's harem either blushed or were quick to take notes for future gossip. To their minds, Katie was talking about certain sex magics, so none of them were all that surprised.

"If I do recall, you spent most of that session moaning 'Deeper Riley! Harder Riley! More! More!" Daphne imitated earning a deep red blush from Katie as she actually remembered saying those things.

"Fuck..." Katie muttered as she hid her head in her hands, trying in vein to hide her blush.

"When did my mature little girl turn into such a potty mouth?" Daphne's mother whined, earning a bit of an embarrassed look from Daphne as she realized she had made those noises in front of her mother.

"Well, from what I hear, apparently she got some sense fucked into her, and learned to enjoy life." Daphne's grandmother noted as she passed Daphne a glass of wine that the older ladies had been enjoying.

"Mother?" Anastasia stated in surprise. She knew there was little love loss between her husband and mother-in-law. She knew the woman was critical of his desires to use Daphne and Astoria to further the house name, just as her own husband had done years prior. Daphne's grandmother was much more of a free spirited and strong willed woman who was all for standing up for yourself and doing what was right for you. She was what you would get if you combined McGonagall, with Sirius. Someone who was laid back, but so very formal and wise.

"I'm proud that she's living her life the way she wants too. And besides, you'll have something to report to the 'boy', whenever he starts asking about whether or not an heir is being produced. I say, enjoy yourself my girl. To be free to love and laugh and fuck to your hearts content is something few people get to enjoy." Rosella Greengrass, Daphne's grandmother, stated as her form of a toast. Daphne smiled at that and nodded, sipping from the wine glass along with her grandmother. Meanwhile her mother simply shook her head and let out a sigh.

"Man… why can't I find a guy like Riley. Someone who's kind and noble and strong. Someone who'll love me even if I have a heart as cold as a tundra." Astoria whined, earning a glare from her sister for the Ice Queen reference.

"It's actually not that hard, just offer to spread your legs and every guy in the world will act like that. It's finding one that'll stay that way, that's the trick." Rosella stated, earning many nods of agreement from the older woman.

"All I wanted was a simple, restful day. But no… I forgot my daughter was in a relationship with a girl who was in a relationship with three other girls, and everyone wants to know everything." Anastasia stated with a shake of her head.

Daphne offered a sympathetic shrug while the ladies just started to laugh.

-Elsewhere-

'Clang!' Arturia and Kushina traded blows with their blades as the crowd cheered. The two had been trading blows for roughly ten minutes now, their duel rules had been simple, just blades, no magic, just sword skills.

"They're pretty good." Tom noted from Riley's side.

"Damn straight." Riley agreed. Tom glanced at her, and noticed her eyes drifting along Arturia's armored form.

"Weren't you the one to say you wouldn't bed her?" Tom inquired with a chuckle.

"I can admire a good lookin' woman. And you cannot deny, she looks good in armor." Riley replied with a smirk.

"She does have a certain beauty to her. However, I'll keep my eyes elsewhere." Tom replied with a chuckle.

"Gonna watch the redhead instead?" Riley inquired, fully aware that many of the men in the crowd were eying Kushina with amazement and lust.

"No… I think I prefer not to watch my cup for poison for the rest of my life." Tom noted with another chuckle. Riley offered a grin at that as she glanced at the crowd and spotted Severus standing near Remus and Sirius.

Riley couldn't help but laugh. She knew her mother and the potions master were getting close. Kushina had found herself pursuing Severus for those potion lessons he'd offered. Though Riley suspected there was more to Kushina's pursuit then simple potion lessons.

A few more sword clashes sounded through the area and Riley felt someone step up next to her.

"How many times does that make it?" She heard Kakashi ask.

"For what?" Riley inquired.

"That you've ever lost anything?" Kakashi clarified. In her fight against Guy, Riley had actually been defeated. The two had fought for well over thirty minutes before Guy went all out and unlocked some of the Inner Celestial Gates. He opened up to the sixth and moved at speeds Riley had only ever seen Minato move while using the Hiraishin. He managed to deliver a bone crushing kick that sent her flying out of the Arena, leaving him the winner. Riley wasn't upset by the loss at all. That match proved that even with straight Taijutsu, someone could stand and fight against Riley. He may not have ever been able to win, as physical strikes couldn't fully destroy her, but the fact that he managed to knock the wind out of an archdemon was something to merit.

"We learn more from failure then victory." Riley replied with a shrug and smile. There had been so many awesome battles today. Guy vs. Riley. Kakashi vs. Itachi. Madara vs. Hashirama. Sasuke vs. Naruko. Bellatrix and Sirius in a magical duel, it was just an awesome day.

"Halt! The match is a draw!" Itachi shouted, drawing Riley's attention back to the arena. Kushina had one of her swords to Arturia's neck but Arturia had Excalibur primed to slice open Kushina's gut. They were both in a position to deliver killing blows so Itachi called it.

"Good show ladies!" Riley and the rest of the crowd cheered.

"So… Who's next?" Kushina inquired as she and Arturia wandered off the field.

"I was thinking of a special fight for our final viewing." Madara answered as he hopped up onto the arena, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"Thank you all for participating today, we have one final match for you to watch, and I think you'll enjoy yourself." Madara stated as he called Riley down to the field.

Riley appeared there and cracked her knuckles, ready for whomever Madara had in mind to challenge her.

"Riley I'll need you to take us all to Kamui, this next fight is gonna be a bit loud." Madara stated with a smirk. A massive grin tore across Riley's face as she went about the makeshift stadium and gathered up all of the onlookers and brought them into Kamui.

Once there, Riley summoned Kurama, knowing full well who was to be her final opponent.

"You ready for this you big furry asshole?" Riley inquired to the great beast.

"Absolutely. However. We're not fighting normally. We're doing this my way. Bijuu against Bijuu. At our full power." Kurama stated as he locked eyes with Riley. Riley's face lit up with excitement as she glanced over at Madara and offered him a smirk. She and Kurama then made a dash away from the crowd of onlooker's putting distance between them and their battle.

The two set some distance between themselves and Riley released all of the restraints on her power and took her true form.

An animagus is the true form of your soul. Using the same kind of magic, Riley was able to take the form of her soul. Basically, her Animagus form, was what Riley truly looked like without the human covering. This was her true form.

A massive explosion consumed Riley and within a moment, a towering Demon burst forth.

Those in the crowd could only let out gasps of amazement. Only Madara, and Hashirama had ever seen Riley's true form, aside from Kurama. Kurama stood nearly three hundred feet tall, Riley was about two hundred and fifty feet. Her form was that of a fox, much like Kurama. However, unlike when she was younger, she now sported some unique differences.

Firstly, her massive Fox form had three eyes, two in their regular spot and one sitting on it's side, between her other eyes. The massive Fox was adorned with a crown of horns that looked much like the one she possessed in her human demonic form. She also had two additional horns that were much longer, and stuck out of the back of her head. They were about the same length as her ears.

From her back, behind the shoulder blades, were two massive Bird-like wings, giving this giant Fox similar characteristics to a Griffin. She sported six tails, all which were covered in dark translucent scales, just like her tails in her human form. Along her spine was a line of long jagged bone-like spikes. Her fur was blackish Red, and it moved like it was on fire. Lightning arced between the spikes on her back, and fire could be seen burning in her massive wings.

All in all, Riley's true demonic form was utterly terrifying. But the part that drew almost everyone's attention was the poisonous looking black tar that bubbled out of her feet and lower legs. It oozed through the fur and was forming pools from where she stood. Thick globs of acidic saliva dripped from her mouth and she let out a roar that sounded almost exactly like Kurama's except as it ended, it faded and another sound revealed itself behind the roar. It was almost like Riley's roar was a combination of Kurama's roar and a woman screaming in agony. It was a heart-wrenching noise, that made the wraith's cry sound lovely by comparison.

"Holy shit!" Draco stated in disbelief as he and Riley's gang beheld her truest form.

"Amazing." Kushina muttered as she beheld the full might of her daughter.

"Holy Shit Riley." Naruko stated as she nearly had a heart attack.

"So this is the true form of a god." Itachi noted earning a nod of agreement from Tom.

"Riley..." Was all Arturia could say as she beheld the colossal behemoth.

With a mighty roar, Kurama and Riley charged at each other, the force of their collision caused the earth beneath them to be torn asunder. For a few moments, the fight looked like what you would expect from a pair of lions fighting.

The two great beasts were on their hind legs pawing and biting at each other, Riley managed to catch Kurama's arm in her teeth, which earned a roar of pain and rage from the Demon. He quickly delivered a powerful swipe that sent Riley flying back and into a nearby mountain.

The bite wound on Kurama's arm was sizzling and burning from Riley's poisonous chakra. The two demon's glared at each other for a moment, Before both adopted wide grins.

In unison, the two reared back, opened their mouths and began to gather chakra.

"EVERYONE PREPARE TO SHIELD YOUR EYES!" Hashirama shouted as he saw the two begin to charge up Bijuu Dama.

It took only ten seconds before the two were ready. They took aim, and then prepared to fire.

"Eat This!" Kurama roared, but right as he fired he felt his left leg tear out from under him. He had just been about to fire his attack when he was jerked hard to the right, causing his Bijuu Dama to go flying just over Riley's shoulder. He glanced down and saw a massive tree limb growing out of the ground and wrapped around his leg.

"Oh you sneaky Bit- SHIT!" Kurama started to growl only to return his attention to Riley, and spot her Bijuu Dama headed right for him.

He got his tails around himself just in time as the massive sphere of chakra slammed into it's target and detonated.

A Kilometer wide sphere of light consumed Kurama and many of the onlookers were forced to avert their eyes from the light.

A few moments passed as the light dimmed and the smoke started to settle. Glowing red eyes could be seen in the smoke, and Kurama quickly burst forth singed but very much alive.

"Alright you sneaky cunt, you wanna play rough, let's play rough!" Kurama shouted charging at her while firing massive bolts of condensed chakra from his mouth.

Riley dodged the first two bolts of chakra, before charging at him herself. The two clashed and once again began to tear into each other.

For those watching, this was quite possibly the greatest fight any of them had ever seen. Two Bijuu going head to head. The power of the two great demons was unbelievable, and what they had seen so far, that, was just the beginning of a duel that would last nearly six hours.

-The Next Day-

Daphne stood in a dressing room with Tracy, Anastasia, Astoria, and Rosella. She was busy putting the finishing touches on her attire and make-up, and was much more flustered then she had been yesterday.

"I can literally hear your heart pounding, are you gonna be alright?" Tracy inquired.

"Yeah… I'll be alright." Daphne replied with a smile as she stared at her reflection in mirror.

"Happiest day of your life right?" Tracy stated as the two shared a look.

Daphne offered a nod and after a moment the two embraced.

"I'm so happy for you Daph. I hope you two are really happy together." Tracy stated as she hugged her best friend tightly.

"I can't believe I'll be the first one to call Riley my wife. Out of all four of us I always thought it would be Fleur first." Daphne stated.

"Well… it's not. It's you. You get to be Mrs. Slytherin, and the others get to be the mistresses." Tracy replied with a giggle.

The two shared a laugh before hearing a knock at the door. Fleur quickly poked her head in an offered Daphne a smile when she saw her.

"Hey, everything ready out there?" Daphne inquired with a nervous huff.

"Yes, and you look stunning." Fleur replied with a smile.

"I'm really nervous." Daphne admitted.

"Do not be. You know she loves you. And you know you love her. Zat is all zat matters." Fleur replied.

"You know, I always thought it'd be you doing this first. Even before I started to date her, you two seemed like a match made in heaven." Daphne stated earning a smile from Fleur.

"Well, enjoy your time as her only wife while you can. I was courteous enough to not take away from your wedding by breaching ze subject with Riley before it happened but after today, zere is nozing stopping me." Fleur warned with a playful grin.

"Thank you Fleur. Honestly, thank you for everything." Daphne stated. After a moment, Katie and Luna wandered in, and both gave her appraising looks.

"You look absolutely stunning." Katie said with kind smile.

"Riley will definitely love the outfit." Luna agreed with a nod.

"Are you ready?" They all heard from the doorway. Glancing over they found a goblin waiting for them. Marriage's in magical Britain could be done a number of ways, but old families like the Greengrass clan, liked to do it in the old way. A way that was much more magical. Usually these things were overseen by the goblins as they knew the proper way to get magic to form a marriage union between two people. The ceremony itself was mostly for show, as most of the time, the actual marriage union was done after a traditional ceremony based on the couples religious beliefs. Though in this case, Daphne's mother and grandmother had planned out everything to coincide in one event. They would go up, say their vows to one another, and then perform a short ritual overseen by a goblin.

In essence they were creating a lifelong contract with one another and the goblins were great at their contracts.

"Yes. I'm ready." Daphne replied with a smile. Her fellow mates, family, and Tracy all offered her their best, and quickly departed the room. Daphne stood in silence for a moment, nervous as all hell. She could feel joy, and desire flooding over her bond with Riley. It filled her with excitement to finally be able to call the woman of her dreams, her wife.

"I'm waiting for you my love." Daphne heard in her head. A broad smile slipped across her face as a wedding coordinator, motioned for her to step out.

Daphne slowly started to walk out into the main hall of Slytherin Castle where the wedding Ceremony would take place. The main hall was wide and open and filled to the brim with friends, family, well-wishers, and reporters. Daphne would enter from one side of the room, Riley from the other, they would meet in the center and join hands. Then, while holding hands they would approach the goblin in charge of the ceremony and the rest would occur then.

Daphne held no religious affiliations and thus didn't have any ceremony beliefs, Riley followed in the Uchiwa way of doing things, which involved Riley praying to all of the Uchiwa's patron deities. The only other part of the Ceremony that reflected Riley's Uchiwa background, was the Black cats that wandered about. It was one of the Uchiwa's oldest beliefs that cats were guardians and by having them at your wedding, they would protect the ceremony from evil.

So with that being said, Daphne commenced her march across the room. Her eyes were locked on Riley as she emerged from the opposite side of the hall.

While Daphne was dressed in beautiful white ceremonial Robes, and had her hair and make-up done up beautifully, Riley was wearing a set of black marriage robes that bore the crest of Slytherin House. Her hair was done up in a beautiful fashion, it was definitely something one wasn't used to seeing on Riley. She never did anything with her hair, at most she would tie it into a ponytail, but this style was absolutely beautiful and really brought out the red in her hair.

The two young women were absolutely stunning in their outfits.

Both wore wide smiles as they met in the center of the room and joined hands. Camera flashes lit up the entire hall but neither of the ladies seemed to notice, both were enthralled by the others beauty.

"You are absolutely gorgeous my love." Riley whispered in Daphne's mind.

"Breathtaking." Daphne replied back. Both women continued to stare at each other for several moments before turning to walk up to the Chief goblin.

Once before him, the room quieted.

"Greetings, one and all. We are gathered here on this lovely summer morning to bear witness to the union between these two young women, in the eyes of magic. Before I begin the ceremony, if there is anyone who believes they have just cause as to why these two should not be allowed to join together, speak now." The Goblin began. He was much more literate and soft spoken then most goblins. Even though it was obvious that he was a full blooded goblin, he still was very well kept, and cleanly groomed.

The room remained silent, no one saying anything.

"Very well then. It is time to present your rings to each other. In the manner of the old ways, you will present your ring and speak your vow while placing the ring onto the others finger. These rings were specially crafted to tie these two together by more then magic and paper, but in blood as well. Each ring contains a drop of blood from their significant other, and will serve to tie the two together for the rest of their lives. When you are ready, you may begin." The goblin stated to the crowd, and then to Riley and Daphne.

The two turned to face each other as the goblin presented them their rings. Riley went first as she took Daphne's hand and started to speak her vows. "We've known each other since our first day at Hogwarts, though it feels like we've been together for a life time. When I first fell in love with Fleur I never thought it could get any better. Then I fell for Katie and I couldn't imagine my world without her as well as Fleur. Then the two of us were brought together, and I felt the same way. Then I fell for Luna, and my love for the rest of you only seemed to grow. Maybe I just have a heart too full of love. I'll admit I thought you were cute before we started dating, but I never would have imagined we'd end up together. I may have been the Slytherin house queen, but I always fit better with the other houses. I preferred to face my problems head on, like a Gryffindor. I loved making friends and having fun like a Hufflepuff. And I found enjoyment in quiet studying, and in the simple pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake like the Ravenclaws. I was definitely not a very good Slytherin. But you were. You were everything a Slytherin was meant to be. Sly. Cunning. An eye for business and politics. I never could have imagined we'd be together. Until we were. For the longest time I thought you were cold and stoic, but once we got together, I started to see the warm and loving woman beneath the surface. Now, after all this time together, I can't picture someone more loving and caring then you. You're a great friend. A kind lover, and a gentle soul. I love you with all of my heart, and I plan on spending the rest of our lives together, making every day, the happiest day of your life." Riley finished her vows by placing the ring on Daphne's finger.

Daphne gazed down at the ring Riley had chosen for her, and found that it was a beautiful golden ring with four white diamonds circled around a red diamond in the center. The red diamond obviously housed a drop of Riley's blood. The moment she put it on, Daphne felt as it Riley had reached out and touched her heart. As she listened to Riley's vows, Daphne couldn't stop the tears that poured from her eyes.

In the crowd, Daphne's fellow mates were all teary eyed and smiling widely. Her family were all very happy for her, while Riley's family kept mostly to the shadows. Hashirama and Madara stood in the background out of sight, enjoying the spectacle but not drawing too much attention.

After a few moments, it was Daphne's turn to state her marriage vows and place her ring. "All my life, I was raised to be a proper pureblood. I was trained in arts of guile and manipulation. I was taught how a woman should act, and how to properly deal with situations. I never let my heart get in the way of my goals. I lived most of my life, knowing I would never be like one of those girls from the story books. I was pretty sure I wouldn't find my 'happily ever after'. But then I met you. And we started dating. You changed everything for me Riley. With you, I'm not afraid to open my heart and be myself. Seeing you smile, and laugh, fills me with so much joy. When you look at me, with love and admiration, I can't help but be grateful. Grateful because you've given me something I never thought I'd get in life. Unconditional love. What I'm trying to say Riley, is thank you. Thank you for everything you've ever done for me. Thank you for being my friend. My teacher. My lover. Thank you for accepting me as your wife. I love you. I love you with all my heart." Daphne stated, trying her damndest to not break out into sobs as she placed her ring on Riley's finger.

"Now… we shall begin the ceremony." The goblin stated as Daphne and Riley joined hands again and faced him.

"On this day I ask that magic look upon these two and judge them. I ask that they be gifted with the bond of marriage." The goblin began before beginning to chant in Gobbledygook. It took a few moments but magic began to form around Riley and Daphne. Around Daphne it became an icy blue mist, and around Riley it became a reddish inferno. The two colors mixed together between them, becoming a vibrant purple. After a few more moments all of the magic around them turned purple, signifying that magic had accepted their marital union. Cheers broke out from the crowd as Riley and Daphne shared a smile.

"Magic has accepted your union. Begin the sealing process with a kiss, and finish it with a true act of love." The goblin stated. Riley and Daphne turned to each other and stared deep into one anothers eyes.

"I love you." Riley stated with a smile.

"And I love you." Daphne replied. The two quickly locked lips, and felt their magic collide and mix, they felt their already established bond, grow immensely more powerful.

It was at that moment, that Riley felt a murderous feeling flood her senses. In a burst of speed she shielded Daphne with her body as the killing Curse slammed into her back.

"Fuck!" Riley growled as she felt her soul shift before resettling in her body. After all, that's what the killing curse was, a spell that dislodged your soul from you body.

Riley turned to stare at the crowd, her eyes lighting up with rage. She found a half dozen people, including Draco, Kakashi, and Arturia, wrestling a man to the ground in the crowd. He had his wand drawn but he was currently being beaten to death by the three, and many more in the crowd looked to be ready to jump in.

Aurors were quickly rushing into the room, and were trying to regain order.

With an enraged snarl Riley waved her hand releasing a powerful wave of magic, pushing the entire crowd back as well as knocking the three off of her would be assassin.

The assassin quickly jumped to his feet and turned to Riley. His jaw dropped when he saw that she was still alive, even after being struck with the Killing curse.

"That's Impossible." The man stated in Spanish. He had timed his curse perfectly, to when Riley and Daphne were kissing and the crowd started to cheer. No one would have noticed him launch the attack, and they wouldn't have been able to stop it.

The man tried to fire another killing curse, and it struck Riley in the chest as she marched towards him. She tensed and let out an angry growl but was unhindered by the curse.

He was about to try another curse when Riley reached him. She grabbed him by the wrist and crushed it, then seized his throat and pulled him close.

"You tried to kill my wife!" Riley snarled in an inhuman tone.

Then, with complete ease, she tore his arm off. He would have screamed if Riley's hand wasn't already digging into the flesh of his throat. Blood poured out around it as Riley dug her fingernails deep into the man's throat, grabbing hold of everything he had in there. Then in one swift motion she ripped his throat out. The only thing keeping his head attached at that point, was his spine.

As he fell to the ground, Riley drank in his soul. The people in the crowd were watching in horror or fascination as Riley stood silently. Daphne was quick to approach her, along with Fleur, Katie, and Luna.

"Riley, are you alright?" Daphne asked as she ran her fingers over where the Killing Curse had struck.

"I'm fine." Riley replied as she reviewed the assassins memories.

"Who was he?" Kakashi asked as he, Itachi, Tom, Remus, Sirius, and Arturia stepped up to them.

"He was hired by one of Orochimaru's agents. His partner is over there." Riley stated as she pointed to another man standing in the crowd. Kushina was standing right next to the guy, and hearing that, she grabbed him and threw him to the floor. He screamed out in protest as several Aurors rushed over to stun him.

"Sorry about the ruined festivities everyone. But it seems someone wishes to interrupt one of the most important days of my life. Now I need to go and respond to his disruptive behavior." Riley stated to the crowd. She then turned and kissed Daphne hard on the lips before motioning for Tom and Itachi to follow her.

"Riley. Where are you going?" Daphne asked as she followed after her wife.

"To war." Riley answered darkly. Riley's mates were quick to follow after her. The ceremony may not have reached it's full conclusion but in the eyes of magic the two were married. Daphne was utterly enraged by this blatant assault on her wedding day. Orochimaru would pay for this.

"Itachi, Tom… prepare the Legion. We're heading for the Elemental Nations. So long as Orochimaru is alive, he will continue to launch attacks against us. Arturia… I need you to do something for me." Riley stated as she walked out of the castle, fresh blood still soaking her hands.

"Anything." Arturia replied.

"Deliver a message to the queen, The Legion will require her blessing to march to war against Oto. With her leave, we'll depart immediately. I'm tired of that snake bastard. If he want's to die so badly… I'll fucking give him what he wants." Riley answered with a snarl.

Meanwhile Hashirama and Madara stood in the background.

"So on a scale of one, to my wedding, how was this one?" Hashirama inquired.

"This one was sweet, but I don't think the ending was planned." Madara noted, earning a nod of agreement from Hashirama.

"Time to go home my old friend. Back to where it all began." Hashirama stated.

"Yes. I have a feeling this wont be a quick trip like last time." Madara stated as she stared out at the sky. He couldn't help but wonder just what the future would hold. Iwa, Oto, and the Akatsuki. All were foes waiting in the Elemental Nations. It was time to meet them in battle, and end this.

-To Be Continued-

Alright there's the next chapter. Riley and Daphne are gonna be pissed at having their wedding ruined. With so many people present and her focus solely on Daphne, I can see Riley not catching this attack. Especially since this guy was just some no named wizard. I hope you all enjoyed my decisions for guns our heroes will utilize. I hope you enjoyed the wedding. Time to go to the Elemental nations, and we'll get to meet Gaia again in the next chapter. Happy Holidays!
