The Dragons Head Rises

Word had spread far and wide about Drago's alliance with the silver hunters, Gilgamesh, Kiva and Bellarabi kept many of the vital details of this alliance secret despite being against it. Although the details were never revealed it had soon been made obvious that the silver hunters had been providing human prisoners to Dracula to aid him with building his own personal vampire army. The silver hunters would have been out casted like the demon fist clan but because of their relationship with a compulsion free Drago, none dared to stand against the mighty warrior and next king of Rovahn.

Kazuya had left the legion to re-join the dragon creed to the eastern lands, he had been accompanied by his new second Gunslinger. The soldier hadn't really built much of a reputation but with all the hunters had been involved in, Gunslinger chose to leave Kiva and join Kazuya, despite the creed treating him like an outcast. The two travelled together to the eastern lands, Kazuya had maintained a frightening silence until the two had finally reached the dragon creed. The mighty dragon hovered right above the eastern lands, Kazuya was to meet his father so as to deal with a very important issue.

Gunslinger: "ok fine clearly you're not going to break the silence so I will, why are going to meet your daddy? You going to ask him to spend more time together, go out for some ice cream and fish or whatever you people eat."

Kazuya: "what kind of question is that? We're not that kind of family, were a royal family, we lead the creed, we don't have time for such foolish things."

Gunslinger: "oh please you two had to have had some moments."

Kazuya: "as children me and my brother were trained to be the mightiest warriors in the dragon creed, we would then take our fathers place as leaders of the creed."

Gunslinger: "two? What you were you two going to tag team on the throne."

Kazuya: "the creed has never had a queen or royal marriage, the creed has always been ruled by tween sons, only the members of our family who gave birth to twin sons would get to sit on the twin thrones."

Gunslinger: "wait you and Kyoji were twins?"

Kazuya: "yes, all the weight to rule has now fallen to me."

Gunslinger: "wait I thought your father disowned you."

Kazuya: "you don't know the meaning of boundaries do you?"

Gunslinger: "you'll learn to love me."

Kazuya: "normally I wouldn't be considered but the creed has not been able to crown twin sons because the family has only been giving birth to one child at a time."

Gunslinger: "so?"

Kazuya: "twin sons are considered sacred, like demi gods"

Gunslinger: "so you're the most qualified, guess your uncles and aunties didn't like that."

Kazuya: "only my father's children can have the throne for he was once a sacred twin before his twin brother died."

Gunslinger: "but then how…..."

Kazuya: "my father has more than one wife."

Gunslinger: "wow, it must be fun to be Ryoko, how many does he have?"

Kazuya: "112."

Gunslinger: "112, sounds like a full time job, so you're going to become the new emperor."

Kazuya: "not exactly, I have to fight my twin sisters."

Gunslinger: "you have sisters?"

Kazuya: "although I have never met them they are the ones who should be ruling the creed but because their women many have disputed their claim, so in order to settle the matter I shall fight them for the right to rule."

Gunslinger: "two on one, can you handle that?"

Kazuya: "they will be using the twin dragon techniques, my brother and I used the same technique so I clearly beat them in experience but I am just one dragon and they are two so they will have a power advantage."

Gunslinger: "so exactly how bad do these fights get?"

Kazuya: "if I can't force my sisters to submit, then I will have to kill them."

Gunslinger: "why? I mean you don't know them but they are still your sisters, so why?"

Kazuya: "because they will try to kill me, stay close to me and make sure to keep an eye out for anything strange, they may try to poison me or sabotage my chances of winning, is that understood?"

Gunslinger: "whatever you say boss."

Kazuya had entered the great dragon with Gunslinger and immediately both felt the tension in the atmosphere, Kazuya was led to his private quarter's and prepared himself for battle. He insisted that Gunslinger inspect the armour so as to make sure that it had no weaknesses or hidden poisons, Kazuya sharpened all three of his swords, a short samurai sword that would easily pass as a knife, an ordinary samurai sword and the long samurai sword that was a cursed arm.

Fully armed, the young dragon with Gunslinger accompanying him made their way to the top of the great dragon at its very centre where a large garden, crowed and the great emperor Ryoko waited for them. Kazuya had added one final touch to his armour, an oni mask, looking at it Gunslinger could see why the vampire monsters were called shoguns. The mask did have demon like qualities but it also carried human features as well, the mask was to hide Kazuya's fears, mercy and hesitation, it was the first time the young dragon had ever wore such a thing.

Gunslinger: "your looking really scary with that fancy armour which reminds me, those special forces type with your father kind of look like you, and that's not me being racial."

Kazuya: "didn't I explain the creeds marriage traditions to you."

Gunslinger: "wait, so if they don't give him twins then they just make them soldier's.?"

Kazuya: "yes."

Gunslinger: "but that Hotaru character is one of them, isn't he?"

Kazuya: "yes."

Gunslinger: "but doesn't that mean that Hotaru is your brother? Kazuya what's..."

Kazuya: "Gunslinger, this is not the time and we seriously need to change your nickname."

The gate from the opposite end had opened and from the shadows the two virgin daughters of Ryoko, Gunslingers mouth dropped and his face turned red for the beauty of the twin daughters was out of this world. They had long dark silky hair and flawless skin, they carried matured bodies and wore white garments with their signature dragon armour. Seong and Taki of the dragon creed, they walked together, trained together, fought together and even spoke together, they were perfectly in sync. Like their brother they wore demon mask, they did not fight in the wall battle so they had a lot to prove to the creed and to Ryoko.

Seong and Taki: "we have heard many things about you brother but all of your glamour is in the past, we are the twin dragons now and the twin thrones are ours for the taking."

Gunslinger: "they talk together, that will get irritating really fast."

Taki: "your second will make a great pet for me, I'll enjoy him after I send my blade through brother's throat."

At the end of Taki's insulting sentence Kazuya threw his short blade at Taki but Seong had grabbed it before it touched her, Kazuya knew that long ranged attacks wouldn't be effective against them. Taki and Seong run at opposite directions, they were going to attack Kazuya from two different directions, the sisters attacked with a clear intent to kill their brother. Kazuya managed to evade the attack but he wasn't entirely successful, the top half of his mask was destroyed and he sustained a wound to his stomach, what did the sisters use to strike him?

The young dragon could only see the short blade that Seong caught but seeing as how it carried no blood it had to have been a different weapon. He looked closer and saw Taki shielding something that clearly had Kazuya's blood, the sisters attacked yet again only this time Kazuya was able to see it coming. It was for a split second but Kazuya could slightly see the long blades that the sisters were using, they were invisible cursed arms, the creed had actually managed to enhance the cursed weapons. Looking at his wound he could see that his blood was black, getting hit by these weapons would be dangerous and it was obvious that using a normal sword would be pointless.

Kazuya threw his ordinary sword to the crowed and began to use his cursed arm's blade, the killer intent in his eyes actually started to frighten the twins so they decided to switch tactics. Standing from afar the twins thrusted their arms wildly, Kazuya didn't understand what they were doing until he felt a threatening aura approaching him, he quickly moved and saw the ground smashed as though a giant had stomped it.

Kazuya: "just how long are there swords?"

Gunslinger: "those can't be swords!!! They have to be whips of some kind, why else would they move so funny before attacking."

Kazuya never really took Gunslinger seriously but his intelligence with combat was impressive, he realized that the sisters stood too far to use swords so they had to be using whips but when he was struck he would have sworn that it was a solid blade. His only conclusion was that they had to have been using both, a blade that can take the form of a whip. The sisters moved their arms wildly again only this time Kazuya attacked before they were done, Taki committed to her attack but Seong panicked and chose to retreat, Taki manged to wound her brothers left arm but it at the expense of her right leg that had now gone numb.

Kazuya: "guess you two are not as alike as you thought, me and Kyoji used the same technique, it was frustrating at the very least, we were close but we were never single minded. Seong's panic forced her to drop her blade, giving me the opportunity to measure it and wound one of you. The blade your using has an iron wire inside of it, with the right movement the blade breaks apart and becomes a lethal whip, never thought anyone could master such a weapon, I am impressed."

Taki: "you attacked my leg so as to slow me down, if we attempt another twin attack one of us will be slower, all you have to do is attack me."

Seong: "a clever tactic but sadly short sited."

Taki: "for as long as one dragon remains whole, lost limbs cannot weaken the twin dragons."

The two sisters summoned the lightning that the dragon creeds royal family was famous for, they came together and surrounded with the lightning which took the shape of two twin dragons dancing together. A bright light made it impossible for Kazuya to see through the dragon manifestations but soon the light took the form of a single female warrior made of light, the two had become one, something that Kazuya and Kyoji had never been able to accomplish. In response to the twin's transformation, Kazuya summoned his lightning dragon which was puny when compared to the twins.

The difference between strength and speed was ridiculous, the twin dragon manifestation towered above Kazuya, bulling him with its size and strength and yet it was fast enough to evade, counter and block all of Kazuya's attacks. Kazuya's armour went, and he was slowly losing the battle as he continued to weaken. The twins continued to attack with confidence and pride to the point that they abandoned their defence and fully committed to their offence.

Pride and confidence had given Kazuya an opening, it literally presented itself in a split second, the twin dragons attacks would for a moment leave their chest open. Kazuya could strike the opening but it would in no way kill the manifestation but it would give him another opening for a killer blow but what he attempted next would threaten his own life. Outside of anyone's knowledge Kazuya had visited the mist forest where Kyoji had found his strange power, he found the cave and in it he found a scroll that his brother left behind. In the scroll was a warning from Kyoji to not use the power in the caves and a piece of his brother's hair which came with a technique that would aid Kazuya if the brothers where ever parted. Kazuya was presented the opening again and struck the twin dragons chest with his sword, as he expected the twin dragons body was hard like armour but it did crack the manifestation. With the twin dragon weakened by the blow and on its knees, Kazuya charged for the final strike which would stun the entire dragon creed.

As Kazuya charged one of his eyes had changed, Ryoko was stunned by this for Kazuya was now carrying the eye of his fallen brother, the single dragon which Kazuya summoned was joined by another dragon which belonged to his father, Kazuya had summoned the twin dragon by himself. Kazuya focused all his strength on the cursed blade and unleashed the twin dragon on his sisters, it completely destroyed the manifestation and was slowly burning the twins.

Taki: "be strong sister, if we fail the blast will kill us."

Seong: "we can't, it's too powerful."

Ryoko jumped out of his throne and blocked the twin dragon blast before it killed the twins, an action that the dragon creed couldn't possibly believe, even the twins and Kazuya couldn't believe it.

Taki: "father, you saved us?"

Seong: "why would you do this."

Kazuya: "get out of my way before I turn my rage on you."

Ryoko: "that would only result in your death boy and as for this challenge you have clearly won, the twins would have been killed by that attack and the blast would have gone through them and destroyed a great portion of the great dragon."

Kazuya: "if that's the case, warriors of the dragon creed!!! The time has come for us to charge our army towards the cursed lands, we will burn our enemies from the sky and lay waist to all their forces and with Ryoko as witness I will lead that army, for the creed!!!"

The dragon creed had cheered louder than they had ever cheered for Ryoko, the first twin of the creed had accomplished something that many thought impossible, even Ryoko had felt something that he hadn't felt for Kazuya since he left the creed, pride.

Gunslingers log: "I have no idea want kind of shit show I just walked in to but at least my guy won, now we charge to war, Ragna waits in the cursed lands, Drago leads the silver hunters through the portal gates with Anabella, the king will lead the legion army fleet and every hero of Rovahn will rally behind him. I don't even want to imagine the losses we will face and there is little to expect from this soldier but we survived two great wall battles, we have endured bloodshed and for creed and legion we will survive this. I really have to stop being around these fancy types, am starting to talk like them, Gunslinger of the legion, silver hunters and creed signing out.
