"Blake!" Neo yelled, righteous anger on her face. "NEVER! Give up like that again, do you hear me!?" Her tails swished with anger as she had a somewhat half-glare, half-worried face. "Even if it looks like I'm dead… I don't care! You cannot just give up…" She sighed, turning to Fou, a small smile on her face. Fou couldn't describe how he felt at that moment, only that it felt like… the very Earth… was pushing him forward. Its power enveloping him like a hug, invigorating him as he grew.
"Scrungo, please take her out of here." Neo turned away, resolute in her actions. Fou's teeth gently grabbing onto her cloths from behind. "This place isn't gonna hold up for very long. The window shattered, Fou's fur stopping any and all glass from reaching Blake. The castle shook as they soared through the air, bricks falling out of place from the sheer overwhelming power of both Neo and the Dark Goddess clashed. Tearwyn long since left to watch over Neo.
With a quick snap of his head, Blake firmly landed on his back, her hands griping his fur and bracing as a blue sigil appeared under Fou's feet. His legs pushed with such force, Blake nearly lost her grip and went flying. It was only the golden chains extending from his body that wrapped around her that kept her seated. "I can't even… see them move…" Yet it didn't matter, with each jump they circled the crumbling castle, more and more debris filled the air as they descended. Slices from swords going farther than they were supposed to launched just barely past Fou's head as the city built around the very place crumbled.
Fou flinched from the pure sound of their swords clashing, the squealing metal making him cringe. Blake yanked on the chains, causing him to rear back and just barely move out of the way for a giant fuck off beam of death. Power started to pulse from him as he started to run across the sky, using any and all available magic as he continued to speed up, leaving a trail of blue magic in the night sky like he was the Aurora Borealis. All it took was a glance back to force him to run further, the strange welling of power further assisting him as he left the continent.
A giant magical construct of lightning and fire that looked like neo stood above the continent, Scrolls, Cameras, People all over the world were trying to get a glimpse of the phenomenon. None were prepared for the several dozen Pillars of lightning and large fireballs to descend like they were rods from god. "This is magic…? Be careful, Fou! Getting hit by one of those won't be pleasant. She yanked at the chains once again, causing them to smoothly transition into an Akira Slide midair. The blue glyphs of magic, while before were there for just a moment, now they stayed, letting them watch the fight from afar.
"Hah… I think we're okay this far off. How are you holding up?" Blake ran her fingers through his fur while asking. "Just fucking peachy." Then the blind flash of light made them flinch, it was but a single infinitesimal moment as the ground cracked and exploded, the city and buildings quite literally burned and crumbled that the area was surrounded by an enormous beacon of destruction.
"Will I ever get to that same level?" Fou breathlessly whispered, watching in awe with Blake. Not even a moment later, Neo snap kicked the Goddess in the chin, sending her up and into a portal created by Neo's own Yamato. If it wasn't for the fact that Fou's eyes were trained on the blade, he wouldn't have been able to tell she slashed over four dozen times in so little time.
"I don't know, but we should get to some lower ground." Blake scratched just right behind his ear, getting a small scoff from him, yet distinctly she could feel the wind from the force of his wagging tail.
…
Fou shrunk down to his normal size, the chains receding back into his fur, as he made contact with the ground. Blake continued to stare down at the absolutely wrecked continent below the hill they were set up on. Neither said anything as the hot wind blew past them. Worry was Written on Blake's face, but Fou? Silent contemplation as they waited for Neo's return.

'This divine spark… I feel it. It rests within my very soul, and I can't touch it, can't read it, can't-' Fou's turbulent thoughts were interrupted, a moment of clarity coming to his mind. 'I may not be able to do anything with it, but I feel it. I feel that spark, just as it is.' His paw reached to his chest, setting above his heart. 'It beats in time with my own heart, yet it's weak, and needs nourishment.' Understanding dawned both in mind and body, that this was merely a spark, a flash, something so small… Something that could grow, and grow until it reached its full potential.
"Neo! What-" Blake rushed to Neo as she stepped out of a portal, her outfit in tatters but still covering her modesty. Of-course, Blake was pulling an atomic blush as Neo leaned forward and firmly stuff herself between some round orbs. "Haaah… Destructive Finish, Blake. I'll explain later."
"Go get her Tiger!" Fou cheered, getting a laugh out of Neo as Blake wrapped her arms around Neo's waist. *Bwoom* A golden spiralling portal opened, getting everyone's attention as- "Ah, there you are…" Lycoris stepped through, quickly picking up Fou and turning around to walk through the portal.
"Woah- Hey!" Neo's energy returned as she stood up, hand reaching for her sword. "Where are you going with Scrungo!?" Already her blade started to leave her sheath. Lycoris turned sideways, shifting Fou into a hug as he started to purr contently like he was a car engine. "He's my partner, thank you very-" She stopped, pulling Fou away she gave him a scrutinizing glance as he waved. "Scrungo…?" A sword appeared in between them, confirming this was her partner.
"Are you thwarting my plans?" Neo asked, glaring with a serious face. "Thwarting your plans?" Lycoris asked with a confused look as she cooked an eyebrow up. "Are you~?" Tearwyn appeared on Neo's shoulder. Lycoris seeing this, decided to just take refuge in the audacity and leave. She turned around and walked into the portal as Fou gave a salute to them. Their parting words lost to the void of time and space as they moved through dimensions.
…
The world swirled in colours, tinted golden and red, we passed by different's beings that floated around without a care, others that tried to break into our path. "You've grown." Fou said, smile on his lips as he resisted atop her head, fur blending with her hair. She merely giggled, the familiar weight of his presence, although changed as it was, was comforting. "A great deal of things have."
They travelled in silence, until Lycoris couldn't hold it in anymore. "Alright so-" She started, her voice still the same calm and collected one it always was, but now, it held more emotion it in then he'd ever heard from her.
She started with explaining from just after he left. Telling him stories of the 'Mystery Gang' that Hermione started with Nevil, Luna, Fred, George and a scrappy little cat named Maxwell that grew into a majestic Maine Coon started solving things that happened around the school. How the twins got Hermione out of the duel, how they solved the mystery of the Philospher stone.
In second year, they helped Luna out of a bind and she grew a little crush on Nevil. The twins shared their map and, with the help of Hogwarts herself, moved around undetected and causing mischief. How Tom Riddle possessed Ginny Weasley, petrified Draco and terrorized the school.
It was that year that Draco had something happen to him, All the World's Evils inscribed to his very body… It wasn't until the end of the year that he was freed from his petrification, and went on a rampage, trying to kill everything in sight. How she calmed him down with just a song and a hug.
It was also the year they had gone ahead and done the blood adoption process, fully expelling any normal blood that wasn't Emiya, Pendragon or Merlin. Embracing her heritage awakened her to some more, esoteric bloodline abilities, despite keeping the Heiress position of both House Potter and Black.
Third year was even more eventful, what with Ronald Weasley's slow deterioration into insanity and dark magics. Having disappeared in the middle of the night despite her godfather having broken out of Azkaban to track down the rat she captured.
And if it wasn't for her, he would still be rotting away. She luckily convinced him to hand over Peter and get his name cleared. And she wouldn't have been able to do it without Hermione's group of friends.
Fourth year was even more hectic, with her almost summoning Fou a couple of times. First, she was put into the contest against her will and forced to compete, and what a story Rita Skitter made out of that. Then there was the controversy of her taming a dragon.
Amayori was the silver dragon she was forced to fight, and rather than leaving her to be forever used as entertainment when she wouldn't breed and lay eggs… Lycoris convinced the dragon to break out with her and become a familiar. Amayori now lived in a shrunk form around the ROR, like a little Sprite Dragon.
Then at the end of the tournament, despite firmly staying at the entrance, she had a port key thrown at her that put her right into the insane Ronald leading an Army of undead's and Voldemort / Tom Riddle stuck as a little baby thing.
"Let's just say… He didn't have a good time and felt his sins crawling on his back." She giggled, one full of life that she almost lacked before. She didn't fake this one, nor the ones she had at expressing every 'Dorky thing' that Draco, or as he went by now, Angra Mainyu, did.
"What About you, my dear Partner?" Where did Fou even want to start, he had a blast with Neo… "Well, lets start with what happened after I got summoned." And so further they walked into the portal, sharing stories and fun times as they returned to their normal world.
Fou's cloak and pendant materializing on him halfway through.
