"You fucking Asuras, always stealing everything from us. You deserve to die a million times." one of the forms roared directing a huge greyish-white stream towards the golden blue dragon.
"Wishful thinking! Don't come to preach me your false morals and false justice you scum!" the furious dragon shouted.
"I'm no longer me if I don't kill you two disgusting lovebirds here today!" another man yelled.
"Oy, everyone. Get in the formation! We are ending this and going back!" the same man from before yelled behind him.
"Formation?" unlucky premonition appeared in Aito's heart.
"What formation, I feel like this is going to get very bad ..." he thought.
The ten forms in the sky stood afloat hand-in-hand forming half a circle in the air. As they rushed to the center of the formation, strong agonizing cries began resounding.
The only thing Aito could think of when he heard those sad cries is ... "Shit." "Haruhi, leave me and run, I'll hold them off, quick!" his panic-stricken voice said.
Haruhi, who at this time was part of a massive golden blue dragon with Aito, still had her own will and decision-making abilities. When she heard husband's decision she instantly refuted: "No, they are too strong for you to handle alone. You will die in a matter of minutes!!!" her thoughts screamed in dragon's consciousness.
When Aito heard her sad cry, his soul got gloomier several points.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. We've been together through life, yet I selfishly demanded that you run away. Please, forgive me this time and let's get this over with once and for all." he said apologetically.
Listening to husband's apologetic ranting, Haruhi teased him a bit: "No forgiveness unless you earn it. The only way to get it back is to take me out once we're done here and we return to the main planet.".
The strong golden blue halo surged forth from the dragon as all the surrounding molecules of water rushed towards them in madness. But that was not all, another red halo quickly caught up with the previous as a fire molecules now flew with water molecules forming two giant orbs of blue - water and red - fire.
At that moment, high up in the air the ten forms disappeared leaving behind only one big centipede with fiery red lances that spat out poisonous greyish-white mist as if wanting to corrode the golden blue entity beneath.
----------------------------------
As Ryuu watched the battle in the air, he asked the entity in his mind "Say, little ancestor, could you compress all of your energy in one projectile about the size of one finger and manifest it outside my body?" as an idea came to the mind.
"Certainly, but not only would it drain almost all of my energy, but I'd also fall asleep for the next year. If I did you could only summon me as an object, I wouldn't have an independent consciousness to help you in battle." the dragon ancestor transmitted his thoughts making Ryuu's eyes lit up like two small suns ... "But that's not the only problem." his new partner continued.
"Your meaning?", Ryuu demanded an explanation.
"Even if I did, you are way too weak now to control it, if it backfires not only would you die, this part of the forest would get razed to the ground! Tell me, what do you intend to do with it?" the dragon ancestor asked.
"To help my parents." He said.
"... What do you mean Ryuu? How will you help them? If you are planning on going there then forget it. It's way too dangerous. And besides, your father and mother left behind to hold them off in order to let us escape not go back and bring them more trouble!" Akashiro said thinking that Ryuu was under the influence of anger and wanted to rush to his death.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law I don't need to be there to help them. And by the way, I am aware that they left for a certain reason so I don't want to burden them with my safety. They are still young after all and they should live their life to the fullest." Ryuu said stunning his mother-in-law, dragon ancestor and fox ancestor whereas only Tenko didn't get influenced or worried as she knew exactly what Ryuu was thinking about.
"You definitely surprise me more and more! You're like a little monster in my eyes now you brat!" Akashiro said as her surprised look fixated on a little fellow.
"Ahem! What is your plan?" she asked correcting her posture.
"Let me check whether it's possible or not with our new partners then you will see. It'll be a big surprise if it's possible. I assure you that you've never seen anything like this before." Ryuu said teasingly.
"You brat, how much older than you I am yet you still dare act like that humph! Just you wait until you fall in my hands you would wish you were dead." Akashiro said teasingly not expecting that her son-in-law would actually dare refute her and not tell her what he was going to do.
But at this time, Ryuu didn't hear her as he and Tenko sat in front of each other holding hands and their foreheads touching each other, soft breath permeating in their vicinity making their cheeks blush faintly. Even if they were cuddling all the time, it's the first time they were being so direct in front of the others and furthermore, there are two more observers now.
After a minute they stood up, Tenko stared at Ryuu with disbelief as her opinion of him instantly soared through the heavens.
"Hahahaha, you are all way too young for this daddy. Come to your papa!" Ryuu said looking at the distant centipede while offering his hand to Tenko as ten-colored light shone from both of them enveloping them in a sphere.
"ROAR!" Vicious dragon roar broke out of the sphere shaking the surrounding area as all the living beings seethed with joy as they heard that roar.
"That's ... the dragon from before!" Akashiro thought, "What's he going to do with it, there is no more influence of an array and my power so they can't bring out its full power like last time. Forget full power, they can't even bring out 1% as they are now. What is his plan?"
Meanwhile, two forms stood near each other at the surface of the sea of consciousness holding each other arm in arm laughing like crazy.
"Ahahahaha! This little brat, who would have thought of that method?! He's a genius! No, genius is an insult... he's crazy. One crazy little demon! Yes! Demon! He's a demon!" The dragon ancestor said to fox ancestor.
"Haha, true. The little demons are out of our league ... that knowledge will certainly change this world." she said looking at two floating little forms in front of them hugging each other very tightly.
At that moment Akashiro stood watching with anticipation what her little son-in-law would do as ten-colored dragon stepped out of the bright sphere, above its presence manifesting dark clouds, permeated with lightning. The dragon that came out was the same one that did upon Tenko's and Ryuu's initial fusion after the ritual. However, what was different this time is that little bloody red sphere flew out of their fusion, containing terrifying power of destruction which almost made surrounding plants wither and spirit beasts almost suffocate in a radius of one kilometer.
"The hell is that little thing????" Akashiro was stunned having to release spirit power outwards to block its aura.
As the bloody sphere flew out, it changed shape to something resembling a bullet.
"... what's that used for?" Akashiro thought.
What Akashiro didn't expect is that Ryuu and Tenko manifested something in front of them which nobody except Ryuu could recognize. It was a completely black long object. There was a handle at the end of it and on the other side, there was a meter long barrel. On the upper side of the body, there was a scope. Yes, a scope. This was an object that Ryuu manifested from his memories and knowledge from Earth.
"What's that?!" Akashiro thought in panic, not sensing any aura from the tool that radiant dragon in front of her held.
It was a magnificent two-meter long sniper rifle. Yes, sniper rifle! This was Ryuu's idea of how to help his parents - long-range artillery strike containing massive power of a primordial dragon's all-out energy. That little bullet cost him a lot - one year of sleep that his ancestor had to go through.
The cold glint flashed in the ten-colored dragon's eyes filling them to the brim with killing intent. The height of the dragon was now around one meter as it held a two-meter-long sniper rifle in his claws. Why did Ryuu have to perform a transformation with Tenko?
Three reasons:
First, neither of them could restrain that fierce aura which bullet emanated.
Second, they needed strong control over the elements - precisely thunder and space in order to launch the projectile at an extreme speed.
Third, they had to withstand the recoil of the sniper rifle.
The radiant dragon took the bullet, loading a rifle and aiming in the direction of two giant forms in the sky.
"Mother-in-law, could you help me with gathering those thunder particles?" Ryuu asked.
"... hah! So you need me after all. Fine, I will forgive you this time now tell me what precisely am I supposed to do when I gather them?" Akashiro said.
"Just gather them inside this object, we will do the rest." Ryuu said.
"Also, protect your ears well after finishing with your part." he added.
"Ears?" Thought lingered in Akashiro's mind but she did what Ryuu told her.
As vigorous thunder element entered inside the rifle, Ryuu began directing them very precisely forming small circular thunderbolts around the rail of a rifle.
"Ancient Dragon Shakes The Earth!" Divine voice spread enveloping area of surrounding fifty kilometers in diameter, as the source being the ten-colored dragon.
"..... CLANG!!!! .. KKKKKKABBBBBBOOOOOOM!" An extremely deafening explosion reverberated through the forest as the ten-colored dragon and gloomy red object flew in opposite directions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
High in the sky, two massive forms were leading the intensive battle - Dragon versus Centipede!
"Asura, DIE!" Centipede screamed as a sudden burst of grey light rushed out of it in mad waves.
"Not good! We can't hold on!" Aito said.
Just as they were being pushed back, both of the forms stagnated instantaneously upon hearing the divine voice as deafening sonic boom reached them shortly after coming from a small rift above them.
"WHAT THING!?" Centipede screamed in horror releasing bright wite shield.
It probably thought those were reinforcements from Asuras' side.
In an instant, gloomy crimson projectile appeared out of nowhere - to be precise - from a spatial crack, followed with dark cracks and loud boom behind it.
How terrifying it was showed the fact that it torn the space itself.
The deafening explosion burst out at point-blank distance, falling on the gloomy white shield which immediately shattered under that massive compressed energy accompanied with a shrill sad scream which soon vanished in a thunderous elemental explosion.
Golden blue dragon was already a few kilometers away from the explosion, grabbing a chance to run away when the centipede turned its attention to the distant part of the forest.
As Aito wanted to turn around and see what happened, his golden dragon form suddenly felt extreme heat and the next instant the dragon was flying away being pushed by an invisible and strong burst of air, which evidently came from the explosion.
"AGH!" Haruhi screamed being unable to support the strong pushing force that immediately fell on them.
"Haruhi! Are you okay?" Aito shouted as they left the fusion while Aito took all the burden of the impact, flying at an astonishing speed and landed on the ground making a two-meter-deep dent in it.
When they landed, Aito's vision fell on the place where the explosion took place a moment ago. Haruhi was already unconscious whereas Aito's face had a terrific expression with mouth wide open and eyes almost popping out. It would be strange if he wasn't aghast at the vivid scene in front.
"What the hell is that???" His mind was in turmoil witnessing a shocking scene as he was unable to even breathe let alone move from the place.
Terrifying earthquake soon reached them as the ground trembled in madness from the impact. However, could that be all considering the fact that this projectile was the joint effort of two primordial beasts and two extraordinary young fellows backed by the ruler of the Sacred Spirit Forest? Of course not, don't even joke about it.
The colorful ten-colored thunderbolts zapped through the air dancing rapidly whereas, in their center, a massive gloomy-red spherical beam of light twisted at an astonishing speed resembling a tornado that got trapped in a sphere. Anything that came in contact with it would be torn to pieces while it was expanding at an alarming rate causing the earthquake to become even stronger.
Annihilation! Not even a speck of dust being left behind by the merciless twister! Complete obliteration! Aito's thoughts were completely uncontrollable as his brain was revolving rapidly, trying to figure out what is currently taking place in front of himself.
"Time to run!" he came back to his senses and quickly soared with little spirit power left to the safety. He must ensure the wife's safety first, then he will check the situation out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"W-ww-wha~" Akashiro couldn't stay poker-faced anymore similar expression taking place on her beautiful face as Aito had a moment ago. "What ... the h-hell?".
"LITTLE MONSTER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" She yelled at the top of her lungs in the direction where ten-colored dragon flew being forced back by the recoil.
"Mother, help!" Tenko's panicked voice shouted.
"What's going on?!" She asked.
"He! H-He ... *sob*" Tenko couldn't control her tears at the sight of her lover.
His little body was completely red stemming from the ruptured blood vessels, fractured bones and blood rushing out in torrents.
"He took all of the burden himself! That fool, If he ... Because of me if he ... what would I do if ..." she didn't have the courage to finish her thought.
"AH!" Akashiro's short scream escaped her mouth when she saw the state Ryuu was left in and soon enough, realizing her daughter's condition she quickly said: "It's okay, he will make it. He's a monster, how can he... He'll be fine I'm sure of it." Akashiro said.
"Augh... you *cough* are heavy." a hoarse voice came from beneath, originating from the boy in Tenko's arms.
"RYUU! RYUU ARE YOU OKAY! YOU FOOL IF YOU DON'T GET BETTER I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" Tenko yelled as hard as she could, tears rushing out like a waterfall.
Can you blame her? Her lover took everything upon himself almost leaving him in a half-dead state.
"S-Sorry, I couldn't let you *cough* get hurt because of *cough* ... ... *cough* of my ... *cough* problems." Ryuu said with difficulty.
"Don't talk! You owe me an apology later so you must definitely get well!" Tenko said and disregarding the time, place and everything else, her soft lips fell on Ryuu's as one hot stream left her mouth and entered in Ryuu's body.
As soon as the stream entered, an instantaneous transformation began appearing on Ryuu's little body; His fractured bones began healing at an alarming rate, blood vessels re-assembling and lost blood returning from the hot energy.
Ryuu felt one marvelous sensation spread through his body and penetrate deep within his spirit and sea of consciousness. At that moment his strength returned as the weak Tenko fell in his bosom.
"Tenko?! Mother-in-law, what happened!" Ryuu asked seeing the unconscious lover in his bosom, scared that something might have happened to her because of his rash decision.
"This girl! Boy, you are really fierce to make her fuse spirit origin with yours. From now on, you two are genuinely one soul in two bodies." Akashiro said making Ryuu's worry elevate. "Also, you were too rash in making that dumb decision. Do you think her nearly thousand-year cultivation is for fun? Her body intensity wouldn't even feel the impact, You big dumbass! I will have to lecture you well after this!". Akashiro said.
"Ahem! Anyway, what small thing was that? It made a two-kilometer crater in the earth and the air shockwave even reached here!" Akashiro stated seeing Ryuu get back to normal.
"Haha." Ryuu smiled awkwardly scratching his nose. "It's something I learned in my past life, could you keep it a secret please?" He said.
"Ahhhhhh. Fine, but you owe me an explanation later. First, let's get you two back."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ancient dragon shakes the earth... I will remember that name." Beautiful silhouette of a guy carrying a girl in her twenties princess-style entered the inter-spatial gate leaving everything behind as one suffocating feeling filled his heart.
"Ryuu, your parents will be eagerly waiting for you!" Aito said before entering the gate with his wife, glancing once more in direction of the Sacred Spirit Forest.
"Whoever helped us, we will return the favor one day!" He said as he turned around and disappeared in interplanetary space-time gate leading to another planet.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"You fucking Asuras, always stealing everything from us. You deserve to die a million times." one of the forms roared directing a huge greyish-white stream towards the golden blue dragon.
"Wishful thinking! Don't come to preach me your false morals and false justice you scum!" the furious dragon shouted.
"I'm no longer me if I don't kill you two disgusting lovebirds here today!" another man yelled.

We are ending this and going back!" the same man from before yelled behind him."Formation?" unlucky premonition appeared in Aito's heart."What formation, I feel like this is going to get very bad ..." he thought.The ten forms in the sky stood afloat hand-in-hand forming half a circle in the air. As they rushed to the center of the formation, strong agonizing cries began resounding.The only thing Aito could think of when he heard those sad cries is ... "Shit." "Haruhi, leave me and run, I'll hold them off, quick!" his panic-stricken voice said.Haruhi, who at this time was part of a massive golden blue dragon with Aito, still had her own will and decision-making abilities. When she heard husband's decision she instantly refuted: "No, they are too strong for you to handle alone. You will die in a matter of minutes!!!" her thoughts screamed in dragon's consciousness.When Aito heard her sad cry, his soul got gloomier several points."Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. We've been together through life, yet I selfishly demanded that you run away. Please, forgive me this time and let's get this over with once and for all." he said apologetically.Listening to husband's apologetic ranting, Haruhi teased him a bit: "No forgiveness unless you earn it. The only way to get it back is to take me out once we're done here and we return to the main planet.".The strong golden blue halo surged forth from the dragon as all the surrounding molecules of water rushed towards them in madness. But that was not all, another red halo quickly caught up with the previous as a fire molecules now flew with water molecules forming two giant orbs of blue - water and red - fire.At that moment, high up in the air the ten forms disappeared leaving behind only one big centipede with fiery red lances that spat out poisonous greyish-white mist as if wanting to corrode the golden blue entity beneath.----------------------------------As Ryuu watched the battle in the air, he asked the entity in his mind "Say, little ancestor, could you compress all of your energy in one projectile about the size of one finger and manifest it outside my body?" as an idea came to the mind."Certainly, but not only would it drain almost all of my energy, but I'd also fall asleep for the next year. If I did you could only summon me as an object, I wouldn't have an independent consciousness to help you in battle." the dragon ancestor transmitted his thoughts making Ryuu's eyes lit up like two small suns ... "But that's not the only problem." his new partner continued."Your meaning?", Ryuu demanded an explanation."Even if I did, you are way too weak now to control it, if it backfires not only would you die, this part of the forest would get razed to the ground! Tell me, what do you intend to do with it?" the dragon ancestor asked."To help my parents." He said."... What do you mean Ryuu? How will you help them? If you are planning on going there then forget it. It's way too dangerous. And besides, your father and mother left behind to hold them off in order to let us escape not go back and bring them more trouble!" Akashiro said thinking that Ryuu was under the influence of anger and wanted to rush to his death."Don't worry, mother-in-law I don't need to be there to help them. And by the way, I am aware that they left for a certain reason so I don't want to burden them with my safety. They are still young after all and they should live their life to the fullest." Ryuu said stunning his mother-in-law, dragon ancestor and fox ancestor whereas only Tenko didn't get influenced or worried as she knew exactly what Ryuu was thinking about."You definitely surprise me more and more! You're like a little monster in my eyes now you brat!" Akashiro said as her surprised look fixated on a little fellow."Ahem! What is your plan?" she asked correcting her posture."Let me check whether it's possible or not with our new partners then you will see. It'll be a big surprise if it's possible. I assure you that you've never seen anything like this before." Ryuu said teasingly."You brat, how much older than you I am yet you still dare act like that humph! Just you wait until you fall in my hands you would wish you were dead." Akashiro said teasingly not expecting that her son-in-law would actually dare refute her and not tell her what he was going to do.But at this time, Ryuu didn't hear her as he and Tenko sat in front of each other holding hands and their foreheads touching each other, soft breath permeating in their vicinity making their cheeks blush faintly. Even if they were cuddling all the time, it's the first time they were being so direct in front of the others and furthermore, there are two more observers now.After a minute they stood up, Tenko stared at Ryuu with disbelief as her opinion of him instantly soared through the heavens."Hahahaha, you are all way too young for this daddy. Come to your papa!" Ryuu said looking at the distant centipede while offering his hand to Tenko as ten-colored light shone from both of them enveloping them in a sphere."ROAR!" Vicious dragon roar broke out of the sphere shaking the surrounding area as all the living beings seethed with joy as they heard that roar."That's ... the dragon from before!" Akashiro thought, "What's he going to do with it, there is no more influence of an array and my power so they can't bring out its full power like last time. Forget full power, they can't even bring out 1% as they are now. What is his plan?"Meanwhile, two forms stood near each other at the surface of the sea of consciousness holding each other arm in arm laughing like crazy."Ahahahaha! This little brat, who would have thought of that method?! He's a genius! No, genius is an insult... he's crazy. One crazy little demon! Yes! Demon! He's a demon!" The dragon ancestor said to fox ancestor."Haha, true. The little demons are out of our league ... that knowledge will certainly change this world." she said looking at two floating little forms in front of them hugging each other very tightly.At that moment Akashiro stood watching with anticipation what her little son-in-law would do as ten-colored dragon stepped out of the bright sphere, above its presence manifesting dark clouds, permeated with lightning. The dragon that came out was the same one that did upon Tenko's and Ryuu's initial fusion after the ritual. However, what was different this time is that little bloody red sphere flew out of their fusion, containing terrifying power of destruction which almost made surrounding plants wither and spirit beasts almost suffocate in a radius of one kilometer."The hell is that little thing????" Akashiro was stunned having to release spirit power outwards to block its aura.As the bloody sphere flew out, it changed shape to something resembling a bullet."... what's that used for?" Akashiro thought.What Akashiro didn't expect is that Ryuu and Tenko manifested something in front of them which nobody except Ryuu could recognize. It was a completely black long object. There was a handle at the end of it and on the other side, there was a meter long barrel. On the upper side of the body, there was a scope. Yes, a scope. This was an object that Ryuu manifested from his memories and knowledge from Earth."What's that?!" Akashiro thought in panic, not sensing any aura from the tool that radiant dragon in front of her held.It was a magnificent two-meter long sniper rifle. Yes, sniper rifle! This was Ryuu's idea of how to help his parents - long-range artillery strike containing massive power of a primordial dragon's all-out energy. That little bullet cost him a lot - one year of sleep that his ancestor had to go through.The cold glint flashed in the ten-colored dragon's eyes filling them to the brim with killing intent. The height of the dragon was now around one meter as it held a two-meter-long sniper rifle in his claws. Why did Ryuu have to perform a transformation with Tenko?Three reasons:First, neither of them could restrain that fierce aura which bullet emanated.Second, they needed strong control over the elements - precisely thunder and space in order to launch the projectile at an extreme speed.Third, they had to withstand the recoil of the sniper rifle.The radiant dragon took the bullet, loading a rifle and aiming in the direction of two giant forms in the sky."Mother-in-law, could you help me with gathering those thunder particles?" Ryuu asked."... hah! So you need me after all. Fine, I will forgive you this time now tell me what precisely am I supposed to do when I gather them?" Akashiro said."Just gather them inside this object, we will do the rest." Ryuu said."Also, protect your ears well after finishing with your part." he added."Ears?" Thought lingered in Akashiro's mind but she did what Ryuu told her.As vigorous thunder element entered inside the rifle, Ryuu began directing them very precisely forming small circular thunderbolts around the rail of a rifle."Ancient Dragon Shakes The Earth!" Divine voice spread enveloping area of surrounding fifty kilometers in diameter, as the source being the ten-colored dragon."..... CLANG!!!! .. KKKKKKABBBBBBOOOOOOM!" An extremely deafening explosion reverberated through the forest as the ten-colored dragon and gloomy red object flew in opposite directions.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------High in the sky, two massive forms were leading the intensive battle - Dragon versus Centipede!"Asura, DIE!" Centipede screamed as a sudden burst of grey light rushed out of it in mad waves."Not good! We can't hold on!" Aito said.Just as they were being pushed back, both of the forms stagnated instantaneously upon hearing the divine voice as deafening sonic boom reached them shortly after coming from a small rift above them."WHAT THING!?" Centipede screamed in horror releasing bright wite shield.It probably thought those were reinforcements from Asuras' side.In an instant, gloomy crimson projectile appeared out of nowhere - to be precise - from a spatial crack, followed with dark cracks and loud boom behind it.How terrifying it was showed the fact that it torn the space itself.The deafening explosion burst out at point-blank distance, falling on the gloomy white shield which immediately shattered under that massive compressed energy accompanied with a shrill sad scream which soon vanished in a thunderous elemental explosion.Golden blue dragon was already a few kilometers away from the explosion, grabbing a chance to run away when the centipede turned its attention to the distant part of the forest.As Aito wanted to turn around and see what happened, his golden dragon form suddenly felt extreme heat and the next instant the dragon was flying away being pushed by an invisible and strong burst of air, which evidently came from the explosion."AGH!" Haruhi screamed being unable to support the strong pushing force that immediately fell on them."Haruhi! Are you okay?" Aito shouted as they left the fusion while Aito took all the burden of the impact, flying at an astonishing speed and landed on the ground making a two-meter-deep dent in it.When they landed, Aito's vision fell on the place where the explosion took place a moment ago. Haruhi was already unconscious whereas Aito's face had a terrific expression with mouth wide open and eyes almost popping out. It would be strange if he wasn't aghast at the vivid scene in front."What the hell is that???" His mind was in turmoil witnessing a shocking scene as he was unable to even breathe let alone move from the place.Terrifying earthquake soon reached them as the ground trembled in madness from the impact. However, could that be all considering the fact that this projectile was the joint effort of two primordial beasts and two extraordinary young fellows backed by the ruler of the Sacred Spirit Forest? Of course not, don't even joke about it.The colorful ten-colored thunderbolts zapped through the air dancing rapidly whereas, in their center, a massive gloomy-red spherical beam of light twisted at an astonishing speed resembling a tornado that got trapped in a sphere. Anything that came in contact with it would be torn to pieces while it was expanding at an alarming rate causing the earthquake to become even stronger.Annihilation! Not even a speck of dust being left behind by the merciless twister! Complete obliteration! Aito's thoughts were completely uncontrollable as his brain was revolving rapidly, trying to figure out what is currently taking place in front of himself."Time to run!" he came back to his senses and quickly soared with little spirit power left to the safety. He must ensure the wife's safety first, then he will check the situation out.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"W-ww-wha~" Akashiro couldn't stay poker-faced anymore similar expression taking place on her beautiful face as Aito had a moment ago. "What ... the h-hell?"."LITTLE MONSTER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" She yelled at the top of her lungs in the direction where ten-colored dragon flew being forced back by the recoil."Mother, help!" Tenko's panicked voice shouted."What's going on?!" She asked."He! H-He ... *sob*" Tenko couldn't control her tears at the sight of her lover.His little body was completely red stemming from the ruptured blood vessels, fractured bones and blood rushing out in torrents."He took all of the burden himself! That fool, If he ... Because of me if he ... what would I do if ..." she didn't have the courage to finish her thought."AH!" Akashiro's short scream escaped her mouth when she saw the state Ryuu was left in and soon enough, realizing her daughter's condition she quickly said: "It's okay, he will make it. He's a monster, how can he... He'll be fine I'm sure of it." Akashiro said."Augh... you *cough* are heavy." a hoarse voice came from beneath, originating from the boy in Tenko's arms."RYUU! RYUU ARE YOU OKAY! YOU FOOL IF YOU DON'T GET BETTER I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" Tenko yelled as hard as she could, tears rushing out like a waterfall.Can you blame her? Her lover took everything upon himself almost leaving him in a half-dead state."S-Sorry, I couldn't let you *cough* get hurt because of *cough* ... ... *cough* of my ... *cough* problems." Ryuu said with difficulty."Don't talk! You owe me an apology later so you must definitely get well!" Tenko said and disregarding the time, place and everything else, her soft lips fell on Ryuu's as one hot stream left her mouth and entered in Ryuu's body.As soon as the stream entered, an instantaneous transformation began appearing on Ryuu's little body; His fractured bones began healing at an alarming rate, blood vessels re-assembling and lost blood returning from the hot energy.Ryuu felt one marvelous sensation spread through his body and penetrate deep within his spirit and sea of consciousness. At that moment his strength returned as the weak Tenko fell in his bosom."Tenko?! Mother-in-law, what happened!" Ryuu asked seeing the unconscious lover in his bosom, scared that something might have happened to her because of his rash decision."This girl! Boy, you are really fierce to make her fuse spirit origin with yours. From now on, you two are genuinely one soul in two bodies." Akashiro said making Ryuu's worry elevate. "Also, you were too rash in making that dumb decision. Do you think her nearly thousand-year cultivation is for fun? Her body intensity wouldn't even feel the impact, You big dumbass! I will have to lecture you well after this!". Akashiro said."Ahem! Anyway, what small thing was that? It made a two-kilometer crater in the earth and the air shockwave even reached here!" Akashiro stated seeing Ryuu get back to normal."Haha." Ryuu smiled awkwardly scratching his nose. "It's something I learned in my past life, could you keep it a secret please?" He said."Ahhhhhh. Fine, but you owe me an explanation later. First, let's get you two back."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Ancient dragon shakes the earth... I will remember that name." Beautiful silhouette of a guy carrying a girl in her twenties princess-style entered the inter-spatial gate leaving everything behind as one suffocating feeling filled his heart."Ryuu, your parents will be eagerly waiting for you!" Aito said before entering the gate with his wife, glancing once more in direction of the Sacred Spirit Forest."Whoever helped us, we will return the favor one day!" He said as he turned around and disappeared in interplanetary space-time gate leading to another planet.
