It had been several days since they started guarding Odin. Everyone was pretty annoyed at having to follow him all over the country, to various establishments and places of amus.e.m.e.nt. Everyone except Alex. He knew that one of the day"s real soon would end with a battle with a G.o.d, and he didn"t want to get caught unaware. He had been tense after the first couple days, a couple of the girls noticed it and thought it was because he was missing training, but Rias and surprisingly Azazel noticed that wasn"t the case.Azazel had long noticed Alex"s knack for knowing things he shouldn"t, and he didn"t believe he wouldn"t be this tense unless he was aware something was about to happen. As curious as he was about it, he didn"t want to call attention to him more than he already did during the current conflicts. Azazel also had the same thoughts as Alex, if too many people were aware of the things about to happen then they might change things and accidentally cause the worst case scenario. Almost as if on cue, the carriage they were all riding in stopped, and Sleipnir let out a cry.
Alex"s face hardened he swiftly dispelled the extra gravity on himself, and stood to exit the carriage. Seeing the way he reacted to the situation, everyone else in the carriage was instantly on edge. As they left the carriage, everyone saw a handsome man with evil looking eyes.
"Nice to meet you all, I am the evil G.o.d Loki." Alex"s face didn"t change, but everyone else"s did. He was thinking, with both Loki and Fenrir, Alex didn"t think he would be able to keep his super Saiyan secret anymore. Azazel stepped forward,
"What can we do for you, mr evil G.o.d whose far from home?" Azazel"s words sounded polite, but he was anything but. Loki casually answered,
"I just came to punish the foolish chief who left our homeland and is trying something as dangerous as cooperation with others." Hearing his words, Azazel dropped all premise of being peaceful, and asked with a glare,
"Tell me, are you part of the Khaos brigade?" Loki scowled and replied,
"Don"t lump me with those fools, our actions may seem similar, but I"m not a terrorist." Azazel nodded, and got into a battle stance. Alex got Ascalon out and prepared, while a huge amount of holy power attacked Loki from another source. Everyone looked over and saw Xenovia with durandal out. However there was voice from where she attacked.
"The holy power of durandal, not yet able to take on a G.o.d I"m afraid."
"Then how about this?" Alex said as he appeared behind Loki and swung Ascalon at him. Loki dodged with an expression of slight surprise, as Alex was now coated in a golden aura and the pressure coming off of him was immense. Everyone else noticed this as well, and displayed different levels of shock before returning their attention to the current battle. When Alex saw his attack miss, he then Swung himself around and aimed his foot at Loki instead. He caught Alex"s attack with his hand, but Loki was actually pushed back a little before Alex swiftly moved himself away. He didn"t want to have Loki keep him in his grasp too long, even if he didn"t specialize in combat Loki was still a G.o.d.
"Amazing, this energy coming off of you is incredible. Is this a new power of the red dragon emperor?" Alex was surprised as Loki gave him the perfect excuse if he spun it right. Before he could say anything though, Loki spread his robe and said,
"With the amount of battle power here then I might as well bring it. Come to me my cute son!" A grey wolf started forming in Loki"s robe, and the thing Alex wanted to avoid most appeared. Azazel made an sound of surprise and ordered everyone to get back, but Alex took a position to fight it. This was the one thing that his Saiyan instincts didn"t encourage him to fight, as it meant almost certain death.
"ALEX DONT BE STUPID!!!!!!" Azazel shouted at him, but Alex simply replied,
"One engages it, and the others prepare; no one engages it and it picks us off one by one. Don"t waste the time I"m buying you!" Azazel had a look of resignation, before giving the orders to prepare. Alex and Fenrir faced each other, the seconds ticked by like hours to him, each recognized the opponent. As if they arranged it before hand they both suddenly rushed forward at the same time.
"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!"
"AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
They both shouted at each other, and they attacked as they pa.s.sed the other. Both Alex and Fenrir turned to once again look at their opponent. Fenrir had a small cut along the shoulder that Alex gave it, but it was obviously Alex"s loss as his left arm fell to the ground below. Everyone stood and gaped in shock, until Alex shouted,
"KIBA MY ARM, ASIA PREPARE TO HEAL ME! THE REST OF YOU PREPARE TO ATTACK IT!" They suddenly remembered they weren"t spectators in this fight, though Loki had moved back and was watching the show. They each moved to do as Alex ordered, Azazel and Barakiel launched attacks with Rosswiesse at Loki, while the Gremory peerage moved to a.s.sist against Fenrir. Alex"s main goal was to buy time, there was no way that guy wasn"t going to show up.
He rushed forward once again while having only one arm, to keep fenrir"s attention on him as the others attempted to a.s.sist. Right as he was about to reach it though, Vali didn"t disappoint him.
[HALF DIMENSION!]
The s.p.a.ce around Fenrir distorted and Alex swiftly moved back away from it. A white streak moved through the sky, and Vali wearing his armor appeared behind Fenrir. The wolf tore apart the distorted s.p.a.ce though, and turned its attention to Vali before,
"Both the red dragon emperor, and the vanishing dragon. I"ve been entertained enough for today, Odin, if you continue this foolishness then I"ll return on the day of the meeting. That time my son will have your throat." The two disappeared, and everyone relaxed visibly. At least until they remembered that Vali and his team were present. Alex don"t react though, as Vali approached him.
"What"s this rival, can"t win against a dog?" Alex smiled bitterly before replying,
"I went against a G.o.d killer and only lost an arm, I think I did pretty well myself." As he said that though he felt sour inside. How would he manage in the future if he struggled here and now? Now that the initial battle pa.s.sed, Alex planned to spend the rest of the time until the meeting in closed door training. As he thought about this Kiba approached with his arm and a green light appeared as Asia tried to reconnect it. Then Vali said something that surprised everyone except Alex,
"Against a G.o.d and a G.o.d killer, how about the two heavenly dragons team up?"
