Reunion with the ladies

Running towards the castle Damian saw quite a number of dead bodies of the soldiers from Dragonof along with the some other people who had an outfit similar to the people he confronted earlier.

"They sure prepared well. Most of the soldiers are either dead or are barely surviving. Well can't be helped since most of the soldiers from Dragonof are not that great compared to the soldiers from kingdoms who don't have dragons at their disposal."

Saying so Damian looked down at the barely alive genral of Dragonf.

"Though you are clearly an exception to that Chris. Still stubborn to die."

Christopher who was having great troubles to just hold onto his life gave a smile with his blood covered mouth.

"Happy just from hearing my voice. Looks like I am not that hated in the kingdom."

Damian crouched down and checked Christopher's pulse only to frown knowing how severely wounded the general was.

"D-Damian-dono....you.....were a great person.....and friend."

Hearing the words from the general Damian smiled a bit and said, "Thank you.....You don't know how much that meant to me.....Damn I am feeling bad about not saving even one of those potions....Just hang on for a while, I will save you in a bit."

Standing back up Damian used his Omnitrix and transformed in Echo Echo.

Splitting into two both of them pressed their respective Omnitrix and soon a black and blue coloured humanoid with a tail and golden coloured mechanical humanoid appeared.(XLR8 and Clockwork)

"Take care of him."

Immediately zipping out of sight while leaving a dust cloud behind, Damian got back on his way towards the castle.

"Well then let's treat you."

The golden mechanical humanoid who was left behind gathered some energy in his hand and fired it towards the severely injured Christopher.

"There you look brand new, Chris."

"Hmm? What are you- What happened here?!?!"

Immediately standing up, Christopher who was now totally healed looked around with a shocked expression on his face.

"Oops, looks like his memories hot rewinded along with his body. *Bzzt* There."

Firing a beam of energy towards Christopher, Damian looked at his friend who had his complete memories and started giving him some instructions.

--------------------

"Please be okay, please be okay." Chanting it like some kind of spell Damian was defeating the enemy soldiers who were guarding the castle. Passing by the soldiers like a blue blur they didn't even knew what hit them as Damian either smacked poked them with his claws or smacked them away with his tail.

"Oh dear, her magic power is currently on a whole another level. This doesn't look good." Feeling the familiar yet higher magic energy Damian got worried and decided to leave the remaining soldiers and just head straight to where Irene was.

"Oh, there is Stella's magic, now as well. Looks like they both are alive. And here I am! Irene, Stella are you guys oka- HOLY SMOKES!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!!"

Finally reaching the place where he felt Irene Damian immediately noticed the huge number of soldiers in the room and was shocked. Not because all of them were dead.

The fact that shocked him was that a huge ass red scaled dragon was standing in front of his eyes.

The dragon who had a human in its claws glanced towards Damian with a cold gaze making even Damian shiver up a bit from all the killing intent that the dragon was emitting.

"Another scum of their kind. Just you wait, I will kill you after I am done with this insect! You all will pay for you sins!!"

*ROAR!!!*

Roaring out loud the dragon looked at the human who was looking at it with a hateful expression.

"Heh, see you really are nothing but a lowly beast. I wonder how will your subjects look at you? A beast who made beasts out of the people of her kingdom in the name of giving them power! Hahahaha I really want to see the hate in their eyes when they look at you. That would be a sight to behold and a sign of my achievement."

Damian who was looking at the man who was fearlessly talking to the dragon admired the man for his bravery, but soon dismissed that as he knew that he was abouth to be crushed like a bug in a moment after he was done speaking.

Looking around Damian noticed a familiar blonde girl lying down on the ground taking deep breath.

Appearing near the girl in an instant Damian looked down at her.

"Looks like you are fine. Except for a lot of wounds."

"Who the hell are you? You look weird. Get a move on or my friend there will kill you."

Saying so the lady pointed the sword that was in her hand towards Damian.

"Stella. It's me."

Pointing towards the chest mounted Omnitrix Damian sighed seeing the wounded princess he once served.

"...Damian?! You are alive!!!"

"...I guess so."

"..."

"...DAMIAN!!!"

As if all the energy returned to her body, Stella immediately stood up and tightly hugged Damian.

"There there."

"You really are alive?! Hey Irene?! Look here Damian is alive!! Ah I am so relieved!!!"

"What?! He is alive?! Really!!! I knew that it was impossible for these bastards to kill him!!"

The dragon who heard what Stella said immediately looked at the blonde hugging the strange humanoid creature and just closed its claws easily killing the human, who just popped up like a baloon.

"Wait? What is with me being dead? Did these low lives said that I was dead? And Irene, so you really turned into a dragon..."

Breaking the hug Damian looked at the dragon who came towards them and transformed back into his human form.

"Yes, they even showed your severed head as a proof. And just a moment after seeing that Irene turned into a dragon." Stella informed Damian as she looked at the dragon Irene and Damian looking at each other.

"...You alright in the head Irene? Any strange feeling about killing, massacring or something?"

"...I am fine....no its not true....but still I am relieved to see that you are alive. And yeah, no such thing going in my head."

"Good."

Irene then lowered her head as Damian stepped forward and hugged her huge face.

"You really are not weirded out by my change?"

"I told you right, I won't feel that much because of your change. Though it would have been a different story if you were to lose your mind. For me, you are just the usual Irene with a cool looking dragon body....that may or may not get nuts and start destroying anything in your sight."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever but first let's get out of here. As much as I am glad that you two are fine, I still don't want to stand amongst dead bodies."

Stella who fell down on the ground once again as her adrenaline rush ended complained in a tired tone.

"*sigh* Take her with you and go Damian."

"What about you?" asked Damian who lifted Stella in a princess carry as she immediately snuggled upto Damian.

"...I will just go my own way now an-"

"Alright usual drama no thanks. We are doing it my way." said Damian as he completely ignored what Irene wanted to say.

"H-H-Hey let me finish."

"...Fine finish it. Just make sure if it has anything to do with, you don't want to be a burden and all and that you want to go on your own way and crap, then be prepared for whatever might happen to you."

Immediately surrendering to pressure Irene lowered her head as she didn't want to anger Damian, not to mention that she subconsciously wanted to not leave him as well and just decided to follow him.

"So what is your plan?"

"Let's get out of here."

"Well it's the usual, I will ride you and you follow my lead."

Saying so Damian got on top of Irene's back with Stella still clinging to him.

"Guess who is going to be in your husband's arms while you he is riding you."

Stella grinned and immediately turned away as the dragon glared at her.

"Ah I am feeling so weak that I think that I will fall without someone's support."

"Damian, drop her."

"...You two do realise that it is not the situation to be arguing about that, right?"
