It was just a few more days before Christmas, and Alex was few towns over with Kuroka and Irina to shop last minute before the holiday."Nyan, we really should go out more Alex." Kuroka said as she clung to his arm and rubbed against him. Alex chuckled slightly, and replied,
"Sure, there should be some more free time after the holidays, I"ll take you out then." Kuroka smiled when he said that, and happily said,
"Then I"ll hold you to that, though I think I should prepare to face the fury of the others. Nya." As she spoke Alex caught a dirty look from Irina. He wasn"t sure if she was mad at the flirting in front of her, or at being excluded.
"d.a.m.n couple."
"Ah, the first one." Alex thought to himself. But he didn"t hear what she asked herself inside her head.
"What should I do?" Irina was conflicted, on one hand she wanted to get closer to Alex like everyone else, but on the other she felt like she was just going with the flow. She didn"t even think about it until Xenovia called her out on it when she mentioned it. Plus there was her first love, kiss, and childhood friend to think about. It was because she was thinking about this she didn"t notice the attack headed right at her, until Alex grabbed her.
"LOOK OUT!" He shouted as he wrapped her up in his arms and dodged the attack.
"Wai- what?!" She said in confusion, as she didn"t realize what was happening. Then she saw one of the eight dragon heads pulling back from the area she was just standing in. It took her another moment to realize she was pressed up against Alex"s warm body, and Kuroka was in attack mode. Alex turned to Kuroka with a glare,
"Take care of Irina, I"ll take him." She nodded at him, and Alex released the fl.u.s.tered Irina from his arms. He then turned to see a man with long black hair, and a sword with a dragon that had eight heads connected to it. The man glared at Irina with intensity and said,
"When I kill you girl, you can blame your father. I"ll tell him before killing him as well, that since he took the person I cared for the most in this world, I took the one most precious to him as well. Remember the name of your killer, Masaomi Yeagaki." Alex glared at the man and didn"t say anything, while Irina was dumbfounded at his declaration. He didn"t say anything more, and the dragon heads moved towards Irina and started their attack.
Alex nodded mentally at Ddraigs words, and brought out the staff Wukong gave him, before destroying every head. It only took a second before they all regenerated, so Alex destroyed them again. He turned to Kuroka,
"Try to purify the sword, it"s a holy sword so you should be able to." She nodded at his words, and summoned her kasha wheel with black flames that held the power of purification. While Alex distracted the heads, she burned them with her flames, but the power and malice in them was too much for her powers, and they still regenerated. From behind her Irina shot several spears of light at Masaomi, who was then protected by the heads. Alex then said to Kuroka,
"The heads use a deadly poison, if they keep regenerating then they"re bound to get one of us eventually. Take Irina and get out of here until help arrives, I"ll hold him back since I have the meditation technique." Kuroka looked conflicted for a second, then said,
"Don"t die Nya." And grabbed Irina before she could protest and vanished. Alex turned back to Masaomi, who watched Irina"s departure with purpose in his eyes. Alex then formed several ki spheres around him, before unleashing them at Masaomi and the sword. The dragons tried to protect him as Alex predicted, and were all destroyed once more leaving him vulnerable to the next attack, that was a destruction disk that took off his arm.
"AAAHHHHHHH!" The man screamed as he grabbed his stump of an arm, and glared at Alex with murder in his eyes. With is sword on the ground, Alex swiftly sent another destructo disk, and took his other arm for good measure. Being disarmed(Alex tried not to laugh at that one) Alex approached the man with caution. He learned from when he eliminated Rizevim, and was going to bring him in alive. He kept his eyes on the sword the whole time, watching for if it came to life once more. But thankfully without Masaomi controlling it he didn"t seem to need to worry about it. The man in question was glaring daggers at Alex, with tears in his eyes from the pain of both his arms being removed.
"You"ll pay for this, and I will have revenge on Shidou Touji for killing me and Cleria." Alex sighed at his words, and said,
"I know, you loved her, but she was a devil and you were an exorcist. It was wrong what he did, but the fathers sins don"t belong to the child. And even if he was at fault, I can"t let one of those around me sad by not doing nothing. So I think I should also ask, would getting revenge like this make Cleria happy, or would it make her sad?" As the words left Alex"s mouth, the look of hatred faltered on his face, before returning a second later.
Alex sighed again, and stepped forward to finish capturing him, before feeling a sudden sharp pain on the bottom of his foot. He lifted his foot for a second, and pulled out what stuck him, and started sweating instantly.
"Well, s.h.i.t." Alex muttered, as he looked at the tooth that just pierced his foot even through his shoe. Almost instantly his head started swimming, and he felt a little dizzy.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who would"ve thought this would"ve happened red dragon, stuck with Yamata"s fang right when you thought you won! That"s a riot!" Rizevim Lucifer and Euclid Lucifuge appeared in his field of view, before retrieving the sword and Masaomi"s arms. Rage filled Alex, and he activated super Saiyan. As the power filled him, his head cleared a little and he took a battle stance, before the effect of the poison returned, and his vision started blurring again. Rizevim looked surprised at this and said,
"Well look at that, even being filled with some of Yamata"s poison he"s unstoppable! We better flee here, or he"ll kill me again. Until next time red dragon!" And the three of them vanished from Alex"s view, right before he also collapsed. He struggled into a sitting position, and started trying to meditate to neutralize the poison. It wasn"t as powerful as Samael"s, but it was a close second. Suddenly Ddraig spoke up,
When Alex heard what Ddraig wanted him to do, his first thought was that it was insane to try, but the second thought was that success was built on top of insanity. He then started trying to meditate again, but focused on what Ddraig said to try instead. The last thing he saw before closing his eyes, was Kuroka and Irina returning with the rest.
