The Dragon, The Show and The Convention
Chapter 6Part 1
Packing
In Cinaed’s room, a travel bag lied on his bed with clothes and other items laid in it. Cinaed was going threw his house picking up stuff. While Mary’s dolls cooked something and she was making a new doll with Blade sitting right next to her. Ren was helping him while Robert was logging the weapons and stuff in the tunnel and Freddy was sleeping outside in the garden at the side of the house.
“Cinaed, how could you lose your cards?!?!” Ren said in anger.
“I don’t know I put them down on the coffee table and now they’re gone.” Cinaed said.
“Maybe one of Mary’s cards took them.” Robert said muffled by the hidden door closed.
“We already looked in her room and asked her. None of her cards have it!!” Cinaed said. “ARRRGG” Cinaed said. “I’m gonna BURN this house down before I find your cards!! I might as well go without them.”
“That might not be such as bad idea.” Ren said. “I mean you want this to be as vacation as possible and this might be just what you need.”
“Yeah you may be right.” Cinaed said. Then the door busted down.
“CINAED!!!” a shadowy figure said. When the dust settled Dike was at the door holding a dao sword. That’s when she looked over to Cinaed and jumped on him knocking him to the ground. Dike looked at him. “Why didn’t you tell me you’re leaving?” Dike said with hands on Cinaed making him unable at get up. Cinae looked up and then looked at her.
“Because I knew you would follow me or tag along.” Cinaed said.
“Oh…. but.. but I can come along I won’t bug you I promise.” Dike said. Cinaed breathed deeply and threw her off and got up.
“No I already have arrangements and you would be able to sleep any where.” Cinaed said looking down on her.
“I could sleep with you.” Dike said with a crazed look in her eyes.
“Where did you get these ideas?” Cinaed said. Meanwhile outside the door out of sight.
“Well she took my advice to go straight for the kill to get him but looks like I shouldn’t have told her about his trip.” Maris said leaning on the wall.
“Oh come on let me come with you.” Dike said.
“No besides I have to sleep with someone else in the room.” Cinaed said. Cinaed then put his hand on her shoulder. “Come on get back to the Company hall and get me a beer at 3:30. That’s when I’m gonna get back from School.” Maris looked at the ground then looked at him and smiled.
“Okay!” she said and walked out.
“She’s a weird one.” Ren said looking at Cinaed.
“Yeah….. Wait what time is it?” Cinaed looked at the clock. “Oh CRAP! I’m gonna be late.” Cinaed grabbed his backpack and ran out the door. “FREDDY!” Cinaed called as Freddy chased after him lifting him up and giving him a ride to school.
“You really know how to play a guy.” Mary said focused on the doll. Ren smiled.
“Yeah I know but it’s for the best.” Ren pulled out the cards from his pocket.
“Sure.” Mary said smiling and then it turned to a face of seriously. “But I feel like something's amiss.”
“How so?” Ren said still grinning.
Chapter 6
Part 2
The Army Walks
Meanwhile in the woods somewhere not so far way but a good distance away from Oak Man’s Valley. In a camp shrouded in magic in a large tent with a woman in cloak talking at a woman into an orb.
“General Cyrus there has been a change in plans in 1 day the half of army from Waxinton will join your army while the other half will be with you but will come back with to us.” a voice from the orb said.
“Yes master and the plan?” the voice said sounding like a woman.
“The plan will go forward as planned and if you run into trouble you know what to do.” The voice from the orb said.
“Yes sure and about Fallout?” the woman said.
“Don’t worry about it he is being interrogated for information that will lead to it being too late.” the orb said.
“Yes Master.” the woman said. She was about to hold the orb but then.
“Before you disconnect me, I must tell you one of my top Assassins is missing and I believe the Dragon Wielder may have some part in it so if you see him on your mission make him tell you where she is before you knock him out and bring him to me.” the voice from the orb said.
“Yes Master.” the woman said. She then held the orb and the voice stopped. She looked out and walked out of the tent and walked threw the camp looking over the weapons being prepared for the coming days.
This was the opposite in a hole just outside Central Fold where Mr. Fallout was chained to the walls while General Xyron was standing over him looking down at him.
“I'll ask you again where is your army going?” General Xycron said. Fallout shook his head away from him. General Xycron’s eyebrows fell more. Then a man with a navy blue trench coat, a black hair, circle sun glasses with white gloves with a some kind of symbol on them walked up next to Xycron.
“So you got something or did I just waste manpower on him.” the man said.
“No I’ll break him, Mustang.” Xycron said.
“In what 20 years?” Mastang said jokingly he then got his arm up and pulled on his glove. “Let a real General handle this.” He said walking up closer to the lege. “Now tell me where is your army going?” He said.
Mr. Fallout looked at Mustang.
“What are you gonna do?” Mr. Fallout said. Mustang smiled then Mr. Fallout began to look worried. Then a snap is heard and then what looked like lightening shot and hit him right in the stomach with an explosion. The force caused him to go back a little bit but the chains stopped him. Mr. Fallout began to cough. Then another snap was heard and the same thing happened but in his face causing smoke to come from his face.
“OKAY…. Okay! I’m tell you.” Mr. Fallout said.
“Alright now we are getting somewhere! See Xycron we can get info without using tips from those old giant books.” Mustang said with smug.
“They’re going to another general. General Cyrus and she’s going to an FFM convention in Massoz.” Mr. Fallout said.
“Thank you.” Mustang said. “Now which army is gonna get them.” He said leaving with Xycron.

Part 3
School
The bell rang as the school everyone got to there class and Cinaed was sitting in his usual seat. Wearing his grey coveralls.
“Today’s lunch is gonna be IChute Gute.” The speakers said. “And just as a reminder the state FFM convention is gonna be happening tomorrow and for 3 days after that so get your projects ready. Also could Cinaed Ignus go to the white building. That is all for morning announcements and have a good day.”
“Alright Cinaed you heard the man. Go to the white house.” Mr. Potter said. Cinaed got out of his seat and people behind him whispered.
“Yes Sir.” Cinaed said walking out of the room and outside going to the white building. It was a small building that used to be a house before the school bought the land around it. He walked inside and walked to a room. Where a man with a bread sat getting some paperwork done. He wore a suit. Then looked up when he noticed Cinaed sitting in the seat right in front of the desk. His name was Mr. Black he was the councillor of the school.
“Well news has gotten around about your last DW job.” Mr. Black said.
“Yeah.” Cinaed said.
“They’re saying that the DragonWielder found somethings.” Mr. Black said. “You mind telling me what you found.”
“I don’t know just some weird stuff that I can’t really describe.” Cinaed said.
“Oh. Well do you know if you’re gonna get payed with Government Fraud Compensation?” Mr. Black said.
“I doubt it with what I probably did by accident but that’s not why you called me down? Right?” Cinaed said.
“Yeah. You haven’t gone on any jobs with anyone here yet have you?” Mr. Black asked.
“Yeah….. No.” Cinaed said.
“Cinaed you need to go on a job with other people other than you’re own company other wise you wont get full 4 year credit.” Mr. Black said.
“Yeah but you know how people react toward Blood Card Users.” Cinaed said.
“Then you’re gonna ether tell them or be extra careful on that job.” Mr. Black said.
“Looks like I’m screwed either way aren’t I?” Cinaed said. Mr. Black chuckled a bit and looked up at Cinaed.
“You can go now.” Mr. Blacker said. Cinaed got up and then left.
For the rest of the day it was the same as all ways. Cleaning animal pens, look over the animals then learn something new.
When the day was over he was on his bus doing what he always did. He was in the room where he and the Devil Dragon met. He sat and played chess with half of the board in the darkness and half of it in the light.
“Your day?” the Devil Dragon said.
“Good.” Cinaed said moving a piece.
“hm.” the Devil Dragon said moving another piece. “What’s that look on your face?”
“It’s not the face of losing, checkmate.” Cinaed said grindin.
“You sure, checkmate.” the Devil Dragon said knocking down one of Cinaed’s pieces reversing the checkmate.”
“I let you win.” Cinaed said.
“Yeah with what’s on your mind. Now how about telling me for a prize.” the Devil Dragon said.
“It’s just that the world will fully turn on me when it finally knows my full face.” Cinaed said.
“So… Not my problem.” the Devil Dragon said.
“Yeah it’s eating at me like you would.” Cinaed said.
“Yeah you’re probly right but then Mister Goody Two Shoes up stairs would stop me and throw me back to the land of boredom.” The Devil Dragon said.
“What should I do? What do I do?” Cinaed said with his hand on the back of his head.
“Whatever you do isn’t gonna end well?” the Devil Dragon said.
“Not helping Mr. Death, Destruction and all that would kill someone's day.” Cinaed said. “Well I guess even if the world turns against me I got my Company and Family. Yeah screw them I got my Company and Family on my back and I got theirs and I’ll kick who’s ever butt threatens them even if it’s you.” Cinaed said pointing to the Devil Dragon.
“Whatever you say you righchus bastard.” The Devil Dragon said bored. Cinaed looked over into the darkness almost as if he knew where the Devil Dragon was and was looking at him.
Then woke up on the bus just as it was slowing down. It pulled up infront of his road to his house with Dike like a little loyal dog was wasting, beer in hand.
“Here we are.” the bus driver said looking in the mirrors at Cinaed. Cinaed got up and look down at him and thanked him before he got off.
Chapter 6
Part 4
The Left
The next day was different he was driven in by Drake and with a small trailer being pulled by the car with some luggage in it. Hey parked right near the garage door where a truck was and a few busses.
“You think you’ll be fine?” Drake said getting out of the car with Cinaed.
“Yeah I think I’ll be fine I mean it could be worse than staying away from the Company.” Cinaed said.
“Yeah I mean you’ll be probably looked down upon like most Blood Cards.” Drake said. “And remember just in case of an emergency…. go all out, leave no rock unscorched by your wrath.” Cinaed looked at him.
“Yeah.” Cinaed said then grabbed the bags and brought them inside. Cinaed took the bags to a table.
He went to the bathroom and changed into a suit with a red tie and blue coat. The coat was blue and had a label on the front labeled FFB in gold. When he walked out he found that his bag was next to be checked. He ran up to it.
“Do you have any drugs, alcohol, or weapons in here?” a man said as he grabbed Cinaed’s bag.
“No.” Cinaed said. The man unzipped his bag. He began to shift threw Cinaed’s stuff finding only some clothes and found some photos. One was of him and his cards in front of the house. Another was of the company hall and the last then a picture of the girl with short blonde hair.
“What is this you got a thing for girls like this?” The man said. Cinaed felt a rage and hid it quite well, well with his face at least. His fist were clenched and his eyes were turning yellow. Cinaed felt like punching the man for just those eleven words. When his bag was done being checked he threw it in the truck and with such force in cased a noise almost everyone heard. Everyone turned to him. He looked backed at them and then walked away. He went outside knowing no one would bother him. He would look up at the sky and see dark clouds. Karrie and Elsa came out to chat and got startled by him.
“Oh it’s just you Cinaed.” Karrie said. Cinaed looked over to them. He smiled wieldly.
“Yeah.” Cinaed said.
“What are you doing here?” Karrie said.
“Just remembering old times.” Cinaed said.
“Oh well who was that girl?” Elsa said. Cinaed’s pupils shrunk.
“Wh.. What do you mean?” Cinaed asked keeping his cool as much as possible.
“That girl in the picture in your bag.” Elsa said. Cinaed began to shake. “Cinaed?” Elsa asked in concern.
“A girl I knew as a child. That’s who she was.” Cinaed answered.
“Oh well what is her name?” Karrie said. A dam made of lead began to crack and leak with her memories in Cinaed’s mind.
“Don’t you think you’re being a little noisy?” Cinaed said still a little shaky.
“I guess you’re right. We'll see yeah on the bus.” Karrie said walking by. When they were out of sight Cinaed looked at his hands, shaking.
“That was to close, if they asked anymore questions I might have lost it again.” Cinaed thought. “Stupid questions.”
After a bit of time, they had to get on the busses and Cinaed on. He tried his best not to sleep or go see the Devil Dragon. The trip took them to the north east part of Massoz. There was a large build almost broken into 2 parts but was connected with hallways. One section was dedicated to rooms for competitions or whatever the people who were renting the complex. The other side was more of a living area for people to sleep and eat with a garden area that split the court yard in 2 one for the eating area and that other was for a pool.
They were outside the building and most of the people were excited never saw a building this big or never even left the Oak Man’s Valley. Cinaed on the other hand he had left the Oak Man’s Valley and had seen buildings that made this building look like a Porta Potty. They went inside and had a meal Cinaed sat with a few of his friends, Jessie, Leo and Alexander. The meal was gonna be brought out by waiters and waitresses. They were all having the same thing just a ham sandwich with mayo on it. Cinaed told the waiter he didn’t want any. After a few minutes, the food was put on the table including Cinaed. But his plate had a sandwich with Bison baked slices with nothing on it.
“Excuse me but I ordered no fo…” Cinaed said before he saw the waitresses face. It was Dike smiling holding a tray on the front of her body. Most of the guys there threw some compliments at her most of them were borderline sexual. “Uh… Dike why are you here?” Cinaed asked still in shock.
“Cinaed you know her?” Alexander said. Cinaed turned to him and was about to say something before Dike spoke first.
“Yeah he knows me. He’s my love.” Dike said. Cinaed’s jaw dropped from Dike being so blunt. He then felt a wall of envy hit him from the people.
“Cinaed you’ve been holding out on us?” Jessie asked. Cinaed was about to speak again but then he was shut down again.
“Yeah he’s so sweet and nice to me.” Dike said. Cinaed felt the glared become more interse.
“Oh wow the man you are.” Alexander said.
“It’s not like that!! Well at least the way you are thinking it you inglorious basterds.” Cinaed said trying to save himself. “By the way you still hadn’t told me why you’re here?”
“Oh because they asked the company for a server position and so I decided to do so.” Dike said. Cinaed looked at her with an eyebrow raised. Then grabbed his drink and took a sip from it. He then past it to Dike.
“Here you’re gonna need the fluids.” Cinaed said. Dike looked at the glass and then drank the rest of it. She then walked away looking in front of her with a giant smile.
After a bit, Cinaed had his jobs like holding doors open and setting up stuff just stuff human could do without an ability. Then the truck came full of there bags. Unfortunately Cinaed’s bags were in the back of the trailer and had to wait and when he got his bags he took them to his room apparently he had to board up with 3 other people. When he opened the door he found the little room had old wall paper probably 30 years old. It was mostly red with a ton of purple. It has 2 beds a chair and a desk. The carpet was grey was slightly colored in spots it would have been almost impossible to figure out what color the carpet really was with all the black, green, red and even yellow spots on the grey carpet. The room had a bathroom and at least that was clean but you had to fill the tub with the same water from the sink and a small closet.
He found Lucas, Jessie, and Alexander in the room already making their spaces.
“So where am I supposed to sleep?” Cinaed looked at the guys with baggage in had. Alexander smiled.
“Well on the ground of course.” Alexandre said. Cinaed looked to the ground then looked eat them.
“Why?” Cinaed said.
“Because you don’t work during a job and your cards do.” Alexander said. Cinaed looked at him with a face of rage.
“Alex that was low.” Jessie said. Cinaed dropped his bags and ran out of the room.
“Yeah you better run!” Alexander yelled.
Meanwhile the other way that Cinaed ran Dike stood looking at him. She began to chase him until she lost him outside. Outside had a frozen lake laid next to the Center and a forest around both only cut by concrete and tar. She looked out through the window.
“Gosh where did he go?” she thought until she hear a knocking sound and flowed it. In the woods she found Cinaed with knuckles bleeding standing in front of a tree breathing deeply. She walked toward him and put her hand on his shoulder. He jumped a little and when he looked at the hand he recognized it as Dike’s. She couldn’t see Cinaed’s eyes but she could feel the rage inside him. He finally turned around and when she looked into his eyes they were turning from green to blue and gray to white. “Cin…. Cinaed.. Are you okay?” Dike asked. Cinaed looked at her then…..
“Yeah. They may bring me down but I’ve broken chains stronger than the ones they throw over me.” Cinaed said with a smile on his face. Dike looked at him and smiled. Then an idea popped into Cinaed’s head. “Oh you wouldn’t happen to have a bedroom like the other would yeah?” Cinaed asked.
“Yeah why?” Dike said.

Part 5
The Move
“What do you mean you found a new place here?” Lucas asked. Cinaed picked up his bags.
“That girl you guys met earlier, well she has her own room and she’s letting me crush with her for the time being.” Cinaed said.
“Well what about if we need you?” Jessie said.
“Simple. You won’t.” Cinaed said walking down the hall.
He then walked up some stairs to a hall noticeably cleaner and more maintained than down stairs. Cinaed knew what he was walking into was a class up from down stairs. When he walked up to the door and before knocking on the door he took a deep breathe. He knocked on the door.
The door opened stand at the door was woman with short brown hair in a ponytail with glasses. She was a little taller then Cinaed.
“Well look what the cat dragged in.” She said.
“Hey Themis.” Cinaed said.
“Nice to see you too Cinaed.” Themis said.
“What are you doing here?” Cinaed asked.
“Samething you’re girl is doing her?” Themis said.
“Oh well thank you.” Cinaed said.
“You’re welcome.” She said opening the door fully. When Cinaed walked in he found the carpet was a clear red and the walls were a sandish yellow. The room was way bigger than Cinaed’s with 4 beds, 2 desks and 2 bathrooms and 2 chairs it was almost like the room was mirroring the other side. It also had a sliding glass door but unlike the ones down stairs that lead to the court yard this one lead to a deck that was over the sliding glass doors down stairs. “You should go out on to the porch.” Themis said.
“Why?” Cinaed said then notice that one of the bathrooms had water running. “Oh right okay.” Cinaed said walking out. Outside on the deck was a table and a couple of chairs. He took a seat in one of the chairs looking over the vast space only stopped the ceiling and other rooms.
“Hey Cinaed.” a voice said from below. Cinaed looked down and found Jessie looking up at him. “What are you doing up there?” Jessie said.
“Waiting for someone to get out of the shower. I got to say this is the good life.” Cinaed said.
“I guess you won’t come down and stay with us if we asked.” Jessie asked.
“Nope plus a few surprises are up here.” Cinaed said.
“Like what?” Jessie asked. Then Themis came outside.
“Hey what’s going on out here?” Themis said.
“I see what you mean.” Jessie said.
“You’re not getting away from me that easily.” Lucas said as he grew to the size of a cave giant and almost grabbed him until Themis put a sword that looked like it was made from a bunch of little pieces in one hand. The other hand was put to her mouth and looked like she was gonna bite it.
“I’d be careful around her. She’s a Shifter of the Titan kind.” Cinaed said. Lucas began to shrink. “Yeah she also has a thing about giants.” Cinaed said.
“For the last time, Cinaed I don’t have a thing about giants. It’s an internal hate for titans!!” Themis said.
“Yeah, yeah.” Cinaed said. The someone walked outside to them. It was a girl with a purple tail and long brown hair. She had a purple bathrobe on she was still wet from the shower.
“I smell Cinaed.” She said.
“Oh. Hey Janan.” Cinaed said with a smile on his face. “How’s it been?”
“Good some jobs here and there nothing really big. Unlike you Mr. Front Page.” Janan said looking at him.
“Cinaed what does she mean?” Jessie asked.
“Nothing.” Cinaed said.
“By the way how did you guys meet?” Lucas said.
“You could say we met on a trip.” Cinaed said. “Can we talk inside?” Cinaed asked.
“Sure.” Themis said walking inside with Janan in tow.
“You still are keeping it a secret! For god’s sake Cinaed you need to tell them!” Themis said.
“Yeah but you 2 know how people react to Blood Cards. First it’s the shock then the questioning of “Why didn’t I get one?” Then the “Is he a threat?” and final the hate toward me.” Cinaed said.
“Yeah but you have to tell them some day.” Janan said.
“I know but I really hope it’s not too soon.” Cinaed said.
Chapter 6
Part 6
The Battle of The Rag Tag Gang and Company Golden Shots vs The Army
The night there was cold and relentus even in rooms with controlled climate. In the morning awaking to the smell of bacon beginning to be made Cinaed woke up to Dike sleeping right next to him with arms wrapped around him. Cinaed moved her arms off him slowly and got ready. The day went on like yesterday with doing boring jobs but on the bright side Dike brought him a drink once in awhile. Then dinner rolled around.
“OH my lord! Today was a tough one.” Cinaed said. “One guy lost his diorama and I had to help him find it turns out the guy was trying to sneak his friends into the hall without paying.”
“Yeah life sucks for you.” Alexander said. “By the way why are you sitting with us don’t you have friends to eat with?” Alexander said with a smug look.
“They have work.” Cinaed said talking with a little bit of food in his mouth.
“By the way how did you meet those 2.” Jessie said.
“Well first I met Janan on a job about. Oh…. So if Gen….” Cinaed stopped in his tracks like he paused in time.
“Cinaed?” Lucas said snapping his hand.
“YES!” Cinaed said snapping out of it. “Oh right so I met her on a job apparently we got the same job and were paired up. I must say her power is like it’s from the Dark Lands.”
“The Dark Lands? What are those?” Lucas said.
“Yeah what are those?” Alexander said.
“What you’ve never heard of them?” Cinaed said in surprise. They shook their heads. “The Dark Lands are these lands inside these giant walls that make giants look like normal people. They’re hard to get in but even if you get in a lot of people don’t come out we only have about 100 miles in from the wall mapped out. There are gates in but they’re guarded by these huge giants and a ton of monsters that can’t die.” When Cinaed finished Lucas and Alexander had wide eyes. “Well with Themis……” Cinaed said looking at the ground and scratching his head. “I don’t remember how I met her. Sorry.” Cinaed said lying like an actor. They believed him. After about 30 minutes and they headed back to their rooms. Chilling out and not talking as much as horsing around. Then they heard a voice yelling outside in the courtyard. People opened their sliding doors to hear.
“All those who surrender now will not be harmed and enslaved for the Master if you refuse you will be beaten and enslaved.” a man said in an armour.
“What’s happening?” Cinaed asked with Janan at the sliding door.
“Some wierd guy yelling about slavery or something like that.” Janan said. Cinaed got up and walked to the door.
“Join our lord!” the guy said. People began to throw stuff at him and walked away.
“I honestly don’t think that was a good idea.” Cinaed said.
“Yeah.” Janan said. Then rumbling came from outside.
“That doesn’t sound good.” Themis said. Everyone in the building rushed to the main entrance or any way they can see outside. In the parking lot an army laid stomping.
“This is your last chance surrender now or be beaten into surrender.” The man from earlier said. Themis began to walk away with everyone from her room in tow.
“How’s it gonna play?” Cinaed asked. Dike looked at the 2 at them with confusion. Themis smiled.
“We aren’t afraid of you!” A voice sprung from the crowd from the crowd getting ready fight. “Bring it on!” another voice said.
That’s when the crowd attacked the army. The 2 seas of people clashed. Magic few between the crowd and army. Lucas turned to the size of giant and attacked. Jessie attacked with lightning speed. Basically it was an all or nothing assault on an assault. After a few minutes it was almost over almost everyone was caught Lucas and Jessie put up a fight but it was all for not. Everyone was caught and they didn’t even beat the first wave let alone put a dent in it. They were shackled and right in front of him a girl named Justine. Justine was a part of Cinaed’s class and she had began to shake the chains hitting one of the soldiers. She cut his face.
“Why you little!” The soldier said with arm raised about to hit her until….
“Oi! Oi! What do you think you’re doing?” a voice said. The voice wasn’t raised but was heard over the sounds of very thing. Then everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at where it came from. It was Cinaed sitting on the roof of the convention. “This is a really good set up. Good strategy. But you forgot a few things.”
Everyone didn’t say anything they just looked at him.
“One you messed with me. 2 you messed with my work vacation. 3 you messed with 2 S level magis. 4 you messed with the Dragon Wielder!” Cinaed said. Some people’s jaws dropped while some were in just disbelief. Someone began to laugh but in an awkward way.
“You can’t be the real Dragon Wielder. He had the skin of a dragon, the wrath of one, and he’s 7 feet tall.” someone said in the crowd.
“Oh… Is that so?” Cinaed said still looking down at them.
“Even so he couldn’t beat us all!” another soldier said. Cinaed grinded. Then lightning struck a somewhere around the left side of the army and out came a titan that was the size of a giant. It had brown hair, had similarities to human but it had bones sticking out on one arm to form a piston able to go down with muscles and on the other arm was covered in bones and formed a blade that was curved.
When they looked back at Cinaed he was gone from the roof. That’s when they found him about a foot away from a soldier about 30 feet from the building. When he crashed into them causing an explosion and began their assault. Cinaed began to use all the attacks on the army getting more powerful with each time he got another Dragon part. While with Themis used her titan form to take a part of the army. Then a man grew to the same size as her and tackled her. That was until she put her fist to his face and the piston snapped and made the giant fly across the battlefield almost hitting Cinaed. But this caused her arm to brake, she then cut her own arm of then it grew back.
Then a man jumped up near the back of her neck.
“If I can get the back of her neck I can take her down.” the man said with his dual swords over his head. Then a purple flash he was knocked to the ground. The flash stopped on Themis’s shoulder it was Janan looking over the the battlefield. She was holding a hammer and sickle, she then turned into the flash and made a path thru the battle field. Dyke was holding her hook sword cutting and poisoning people making her way slowly through the battle field. Her attacks also evolved with each part. Cinaed got cut on his upper arms and began to bleed covering his arms blood and began to spray the nearest soldiers in his blood and then placed his hand quickly on one of them.
“Devil Dragon Fire Push.” Cinaed said with an open hand. His hand lit up and caused the blood to ignite and exploded leaving a giant hole of fire. The fire was then eaten by Cinaed. By then Cinaed had finally gotten wings. They were making progress on the army. It wasn’t a large army so cutting the army in half with half down and the other half being taken down slowly because it was like each line got stronger and stronger. People in the back of the army began to combine and one after another began to fire a beam, ball, or something else to take out at least one of the 4. When it hit Themis, it would either not affect her or it would but she would heal up in a few seconds. When it was gonna hit Cinaed, Cinaed jumped up to it and punched it with a fist of fire or something like that or he wouldn’t see it coming until it was until it was close but he would have enough time to cover himself with his wings. If a shot hit Janan…. well it never could she would see it or know it was coming long before anyone could normally see where it was gonna land. They didn’t pay much mind to Dike because she was more on the outside of the battle.
That’s when they began to use desperate measures.
“Fire at they’re friends!” a soldier said. Cinaed jumped up from the crowd and flew toward the people captured. Dike also did and put up a shield of poison in front of them.
Then they shot a combination unlike they did before they with one. It was all their powers combined. Cinaed flew in front of Dike and the sky turned dark and the tornado from hell came down just as the blast was a few feet away from Cinaed. It absorbed the blast, turning it from white to the darkness that was the tornado. Some kind of spark was seen once in awhile giving a shadow of the Devil Dragon inside. Once in awhile it showed a claw, the tail, a leg and one of the wings. That’s when the eyes of the demon’s demon were glowing clearly out of the tornado. It began to appear more clearly out of the tornado as it dissipated. It then looked at the army in front of him and with a flap, it lowered its claws to the ground making it’s own claws into plows turning soldiers into weeds. The battle field was like a farm now.
When the Devil Dragon came close to the people who shot at Cinaed’s friends, the Devil Dragon raised its claws and lifted the line far off there feet.
“RETREAT!” A man yelled “Grab people you can grab!” People began to run most without grabbing others. The Devil Dragon gave a roar out toward where they ran away and looked like he was gonna chase them or I should say HUNT them but something stopped them. It looked back at them. It’s eyes looked like a dog that was just dragged away from a toy. It began to walk over to the group. It began to fall apart into cinders and ashes. Until it’s limbs could support it’s own weight and collapsed. When it’s body fell to the ground it exploded into ash. Out of the ash was Cinaed looking up sword in hand.
“CINAED!” Dike said running at him. He lumped his head over toward Dike’s direction. He leaped and hugged. He then back slapped her. She put her hand over the red mark on her face and looked at him.
“Idiot you don’t know you’re powers limit or full ability. You set up a shield for living organizes that tornado wasn’t organic nor that magic. It could have killed you if I didn’t make or if I was to close.” Cinaed said with tears beginning to roll down his face. She looked at him with the same shocked face and then smiled.
“Alright.” Dike said. They both got up. They walked toward the body of the titan decaying without the bugs. On top of the head that was mostly skull, had Themis and Janan sitting and talking. They walked to the entrance where the people who got captured looked at the 4 people that destroyed the army that almost an entire convention attendees did little to nothing.
Chapter 6
Part 7
The Nightmare has just begun
When they walked close the group made a clear cut way inside. They walked to a table while Janan asked someone in the kitchen for a lot of food. They all sat at a table while everyone migrated to around the table where they waited. After a few minutes they got a table full of food and ate like they were kings plate after plate, piece of food after piece of food. The plates stacked until they mostly ran out of room. While people brought plates back most of Cinaed’s FFM chapter brought a seat to the table and looked at him.
“Okay Cinaed. What are you?” Mr. Potter said. Cinaed looked at him picking his sharp teeth with a knife. He stabbed the knife into the table.
“A blood card along with Dike.” He said.
“Why didn’t you tell us?” Jessie said. This one reminded him of something. A facility with tall walls surrounding it with the whales of people being torchered. They had rooms that were spherical and made of concrete with a door. It also had a large room with a high ceiling and was rectangular with a super long. The memories had Cinaed tied to a table being subjected to horrific experiments. It was hell and had a bunch of other blood card as well. They were held of 8 long and hellish months. Until one day a younger Kevin went into his shadow and came out another shadow outside his cell. That’s when hell broke lose in hell.
“Because the last time we told someone who we are we were torchered and tormented for “Research.”” Cinaed said.
“So what else have you been lying to us about?” Alexander said.
“Themis and I met after she figured out who the Dragon Wielder was and hunted me down to figure out what makes me tick. We fought for a bit and it ended with me giving her about a liter of my blood and do so when she writes be about needing more for testing.” Cinaed said.
“Oh by the way I need some more.” Themis said.
“How about after we fight the leader.” Cinaed said. Everyone but Janan and Themis looked in shock at what Cinaed said.
“What do you mean?” Mr. Potter asked.
“Well I didn’t hear orders being given out to the entire army from one person.” Cinaed said picking up a drink of soda. Dike then looked Cinaed. She had never see him in this form and wasn’t turning to ash then again she never seen him in this form then it hit her. Her hair was falling of turning back to her short black hair, her horns were being to melt and crumble, and eyes were turning back. She quickly began to regenerate her parts.
Chapter 6
Part 6
The General and Followers rise
In the woods not to far away from the convention center inside a sort of dome that hide everything from the outside. Inside laids people on cots but that wasn’t enough so most were lying on the ground. The wounded cries were heard from everywhere in the dome. A soldier, a matter of fact the soldier that Janan hit the ground, walked into the tent.
“What the hell is going on?” The soldier said. “You said this would be easy but look outside.”
“Calm down you doubt.” General Cyrus said. “We anticipated something like this.”
“ANTICIPATED SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!?!?” the soldier said. “What were you gonna down and when?” the soldier said. After he asked General Cyrus looked at him made a gun out of her fingers. Her thumb fell like the hammer of a gun and a bolt of light flew from her fingers and shot him. I know that I write about some pretty graphic stuff but when I write I make sure that it’s pretty clear that someone or something is dead or got killed but most people dive into unconsciousness and aren’t dead but this soldier was dead. His lifeless body fell to the ground.
“Now on to more pressing matters.” General Cyrus said. “Bring me my armour.” She said taking of her cloak to reveal chain armour. A group of weak men and women came with black jewel increased armour. They put the armour on. She moved around a bit to make sure it fit. She walked outside. “Manfred! Petur!” She called. A man wearing a doctor's coat and a weird helmet. He wore glasses and a turtle neck sweater. Most of his stuff was blue but just tinted. He was kneeling over a soldier stitching him up. He got up and walked to General Cyrus.
Another character came up he was wearing a blue flame retardant suit with a gas mask. He had a tank on his back and a tube that lead to a weapon that looked like a small flame thrower combined with an axe. He also wore a broken top hat. It looked like someone sat on it and then someone tried to fix it but made it worse. They both walked to General Cyrus and bowed.
“Rise you two, we have work to do.” General Cyrus said.
“Alright time to practice medicine.” Manfred said. Petur said something but it was muffled by the mask and in desirable.
They began to walk to the battlefield while General Cyrus began to fly there.
The battle to come would be costly with great sacrifice and come with great pain. More than blood would be shed during this battle of Magis but it would be for a great prize.
Chapter 6
Part 7
The True Battle
While Cinaed was sitting talking a last sip of his glass. His eyes were closed then his eyes opened fast. He got up along with Janan and Themis. Dike looked at them and got up as well. They sped walked to the front door. People look we're looking outside the door and nearby windows in horror. Cinaed had to push people a side and opened the doors. When he was outside he looked people from his chapter came out along with Themis, Janan, and Dike. Before them across the battlefield was Manfred and Petur looking over to them and just about a few dozen yards away was General Cyrus in the air looking straight at Cinaed. Cinaed looked right at her as well.
“So I assume you’re the head of this Serpent.” Cinaed said.
“No I’m the head of this titan collecting people for my mas...¨ she said but stopped when she saw Dike. She looked straight at her. Dike then noticed. ¨You. Girl with the short hair tell me your name.” General Cyrus demanded.
¨Dike. Dike Kasun.¨ Dike said. Cinaed looked at her. He didn’t know she had finally came up with a last name.
“I see.” General Cyrus said. “And your’s DEMON?”
“Cinaed Ignus or more commonly known as the Dragon Wielder.” Cinaed said. “And your’s? I want to know so I can put it on your tombstone.” Cinaed grinned. Everyone looked at Cinaed.
“Cinaed what are you talking about?” Alexander said.
“She and I know one of us is going down and not gonna get up.” Cinaed said. Everyone started to panic a bit and then General Cyrus lifted her arm and pointed her hand at Cinaed making a gun and the hammer fell. Cinaed quickly dodged the bolt of energy. And jumped at her. He wound his fist back. “Devil Dragon Fist.” Cinaed said throwing his fist. She dodged it. Then she hit him knocking him over to the frozen lake. She followed him at high speed. Cinaed then inhaled as much air as he could. “Devil Dragon ROAR.” Cinaed said with a giant blaze of fire roaring her way. Out of the corner of his eye he saw her untouched but the flames and her fist rolled back.
“CannonBall Limb: Arm.” General Cyrus said as she punched him. It felt like a cannon shot him at point blank range. He flew back and far back was Petur aiming his flamethrowing. Just before he was in range Themis cut the cord of the flamethrower rending it useless. Petur began to swing her axe of the weapon at her. They began to fight. Cinaed clawed the ground and jumped at her. The fight from there wouldn’t touch the ground.
Janan and Manfred didn’t move. Janan just looked at him while Manfred looked at General Cyrus and Petur. Janan was trying to figure out what he was doing. That was until began to walk at the lake. Janan followed him. Almost like a mirror image.
“You’re being a pain in my anal cavity” Manfred said as he flicked a switch on some kind of pipe like thing and a blue charge came out of it and healed General Cyrus as she flew by with Cinaed close on her tail. Manfred then ran to Petur. The blue charge hit him and his tube got fixed and he began to shoot flames from him. Janan then ran to Manfred trying to hit him but a blue shield stopped her knocking her back she used her speed to run around him and hit him. He flew forward and the ice cracked opened from the sudden heat from the roar combined with the flamethrower. He then fell into the icy water.
“What is he?” Janan thought. “If he doesn’t get up soon he’s gonna freeze to death.” That’s when it hit her. “Wait a minute. He’s a supporter! That’s why he can regenerate things and put up shields. So if he can put up shields at that distance from him that means he can push them! She looked down and saw a shield coming at her. It knocked her in the air when she looked down she saw the shield was in the shape of a giant fist. She landed on the ice and a brush of fist like shields came at her breaking thru the ice. She dodge each punch until she fell threw the ice by accident.
Chapter 6
Part 8
The Flash and The Titan vs. The Perfect Shield and The Flame
Janan sank to the bottom of the icy cold lake and looked around holding her breathe. She could barely see into the cold. She then got hit by a shield. Knocking her back. She then began to try to run around but it was difficult. She was going about a quarter the speed. She then got hit again and again and again she became to cough blood.
Meanwhile with Manfred.
“Just a little more and I can show her what a surgeon can do.” Manfred thought using his weapon to throw punches toward her or at least the figures he saw. Then after a few giant punches he realised he wasn’t hitting anything. That was until he fell a force begin to pull him behind him and that’s when he saw Janan throwing her fist forward in a brigade. “What is she doing she’s too far away to actually hit me?” He thought and then he started to notice the water getting warmer.
“Don’t catch on. Don’t catch on. Don’t catch on!” rang in Janan’s head as her arms went faster and faster until the icy floor began crack.
“Good bye.” Manfred said about to pull the trigger. Then Janan aimed her arms to the ground and punched it with both hands stopping.
“Voda Teplovoy Tigr.” She said with her last breathe. The ice covered floor of the lake burst open and exploded. Causing the surface of the lake to turn into the sea. Janan grabbed her Hammer and Sickle from her belt and jumped to the surface. Looking for Manfred to come to the surface. Then she heard trees falling and saw Themis in her titan form falling into the lake. She then looked back and saw Manfred on the shore firing a shield at him. She got ready and landed on the shield and jumped to Themis. “Trade!” Janan said landing on Themis’s shoulder and then jumping at great speeds to Petur.
A few minutes earlier when Petur got his cord fixed. Themis jumped back when Petur shot his flames. That’s when the ice began to crack. Themis ran back to the tree line Petur followed and began to shot flames at her. She then climbed a tree and ran from tree to tree while Petur kept trying to hit her. She heard a lot of ice cracking and looked over and saw the giant fists trying to hit Janan.
“Damn. I have to get over there but in here I won’t able to turn in this space.” Themis thought. That’s when she noticed trees begin to fall where she shot flames. Themis smiled and jumped down and began to ran to trees where Petur would shoot and quickly began to dodge each strike until there was a giant space fenced by the trees that fell. Petur looked around as Themis smiled. She then stabbed her own hand. The weird lightning stuck her and bone, flesh, and skin came from Themis’s body. The titan arose. She wound up her piston fist and launched it. It hit near by Petur. Petur shot flames at her and made her flew back. That’s when Janan came and they traded.
Chapter 6
Part 9
I Hope you like surprises
As Themis got up she jumped and landed on Manfred causing a cloud of dust and snow to fly up. People covered their faces as they watched. Themis looked down at leg and found it was broken she lifted it up placing it in the water with her other leg. Manfred was glowing and was all blue the same shade of shiny blue.
“The greatest shield of the Harvester army! No one can stop me!” Manfred said. He jumped at great speed and strength. He punched her and broke her skull. She fell as Manfred started to ravage the titan. Until she could no longer move. “I don’t know what magic is this but no punch to the heart should kill you!” Manfred said as he punched her heart. That’s when the glow and blue went away like a switch was flicked off.
That’s when Themis jumped out of the neck of the titan. Manfred looked around and got slashed. Manfred yelled.
“I figured out you’re power.” Themis said. “When Janan was on my shoulder she told me something….. You’re powers they only last for about 5 seconds when you fire them at a range of 40 feet. I did simple math and when we went into that form I assumed your full body shield was an inch away from your body so I assumed it would only last one minute because you need a lot of power to cover your body.”
Manfred looked in fear and the pointed his weapon at her and pulled the trigger. Nothing came out and looked down and saw it was cut with him. She smiled and raised her sword over her head. And sprung it forward. He closed his eyes as it came down thinking death was here for him. When he opened them to find her made the blade come down on his clothes making him attached to the bones of the decaying titan.
“I won’t kill you. That’s not who I am.” Themis said walking away.
“What are you? If you’re not a size shifter then what are you?” Manfred said. Themis stopped.
“I don’t know where I’m from or who I was but I do know that I have a power that no one else has. I intend to use it to do what I can do.” Themis said. She continued walking back to the crowd looking at Cinaed. She sat on a bench and watched the battle between Cinaed and General Cyrus.
“excuse me Mrs.” Mr. Potter said. Themis turned to him. “What about that speedy woman over there?” looking over to the woods where Janan and Petur was.
“Oh she’s fine it’s Cinaed you need to be more worried about that chick he’s fighting is a whole nother caliber of Magis. She makes those 2 look like children.” Themis said. Everyone looked back at Cinaed and General Cyrus clashing blades causing a firework show of sparks.
Meanwhile in the woods where Janan and Petur. Janan was sitting on a log with Petur on a stump. With his flame retardant mask and upper half of her suit off. Revealing a woman wearing a really sweaty undershirt. The woman had short brown hair with blue eyes getting used to a flame that was in front of her.
“So let me get this straight. You’re an army informant that couldn’t get info out for the past 4 months.” Janan said looking at Petur. Petur nodded her. “And your name is not Petur as people from the army your army calls you. Your name is Bast Sulfur from the main alchemist army the guard of the leader of the army.” Janan also said. Bast nodded. “So why did you volunteer?” Themis asked.
“I don’t know. I guess because the guy I’m protecting can protect himself without me and I need to sharpen my skills.” Bast said. They both then looked at where General Cyrus and Cinaed were fighting.
“Do you think he’ll win?” Janan asked. Bast looked at Janan.
“I’ve heard the words people say about the power that Blood Card users have pales in comparison toward their real power. Yet I’ve never take a fight as serious as this one. I honestly don’t know.” Bast said.
“Cinaed will. He’s not one to lose without dragging someone down with him.” Janan said. “He saved so many people and things that even if the world went against him he would fight it if it meant to save a friend or his family.” Bast looked at Janan like she was crazy and then smiled.
“If that’s the type of person he is then he should meet Mustang. I feel like if they met it would explosive.” Bast chuckled.
Chapter 6
Part 10
One vs. Many
Meanwhile Cinaed was fighting a furious battle with General Cyrus in which case we will call her just Cyrus from now on because I’m getting tired of typing General Cyrus. While Cinaed was Cyrus the battle was intense. Everytime Cyrus attacked Cinaed, he blocked it, dodge it or it would hit him and he throw an attack right back at her.
“I tell you what. I won’t kill you. I’ll keep you alive long enough to see you’re friends broken and turned into the slaves they were meant to be and then I’ll kill you.” Cyrus said bleeding and beaten up.
“Or I’ll keep you alive and turn you into the authorities.” Cinaed said smiling looking just a little less bloody and beaten but had a giant cut in his left shoulder that showed some bone. He then raised his clever while Cyrus put her hands on top of one another and a light formed a sword.
“Accel Bish Amon.” Cyrus said as it broke apart to reveal a sword that looked like an orange katana. They rushed at each other and the blades crossed with a parade of sparks. Cinaed raised his hand and clawed her armour. She pointed her hand at his body.
“Cannonball Limb: Arm.” She said as her finger penetrated his skin. Blood came pouring out of his new wound. He lifted his leg and put it against her pushing them apart. Cinaed looked at her holding his wound.
“Devil Dragon….. BREATHE!” Cinaed said as the beam of hell fire came from his mouth. Cyrus opened her hand and pointed her hand at him. When her thumb connected with index finger a beam of light clashed with the beam. Then an explosion caused a cloud of dust to almost paused the fight. Then Cinaed flew like a jet toward Cyrus. The blades crossed.
Cinaed looked like he was getting the upper hand with blade beginning to draw blood from the cut from her armour then she pushed the blade up causing Cinaed to go back a bit. Then Cyrus stabbed him. The blade went threw his body. Cinaed’s sword fell to the ground with a crash also most like a plow blade hitting the dirt. Cyrus began to laugh.
“CINAED!!” Dike said in horror. People began to lose hope of freedom like a dam that had a growing crack in it.
“Ha ha ha ha! You thought you could beat me. Ha! You can’t save anyone!” Cyrus said as Cinaed was lifeless on the blade. Cinaed’s family and friends flashed in front of his eyes.
“Is this it? Is this how I die? A teen who lost his sister and never got to protect his family like they did for me.” Cinaed thought then a flash of Blair appeared in his mind. “NO! We lost a sister and I won’t let him lose a brother too! God gave me this power for a reason and I won’t let death take me without finding out why I have this power.” Then an idea popped in his head.
“It’s over. We can’t win. Not when the Dragon Wielder is taken down.” Karrie said. Dike used her Dragon Drive to see if she could help or something like that.
“No! It’s not over Cinaed has one more trick up his sleeve.” Dike said grinning.
“How could you think you could win?” Cyrus said still thinking she won. Cinaed whispered something. “What was that?” Cyrus said putting her ear close to Cinaed. He whispered again. “What?” Cinaed said.
“I said Devil Dragon ARMADILLO!” Cinaed said as his tail raised between them and whacked her causing Cinaed to zoom to the ground. He curled into a ball and when he hit the ground he breathed out fire and made his tail to fly out and smacking the ground making Cinaed to fly back up to Cyrus smacking her again and repeated this. Cyrus tried to hit him but she couldn’t go fast enough. This repeated until she fell to the ground and continued until he hit a tree.
He stopped and looked into the fog and saw her laying on the ground. He began to limp back to the entrance turning back to his usual self. Each breath he took was heavy with making the night air fog from his mouth. The ash and cinders made Cinaed look like a volcano spewing nothing but ash. When he made it back to his friends, he fell to on his knees and Mr. Potter and Dike caught him before he fell to the ground blood coming out of his mouth.
“You did great, Cinaed.” Mr. Potter said.
“I’ll get a telephone and call for help.” Elsa said running inside. People began to laugh and cheer. The battle was won. That was until a laugh was heard over the crowd and stopped the joy. Cinaed looked behind him in fear and found Cyrus getting up but slowly.
“I’ll kill you even it means using the last of my magic.” Cyrus said pointing her hand in the shape of a gun at Cinaed. Her hand was shaky.
“Come on, legs move, Dammit!” Cinaed said trying to get up. Her thumb of a hammer fell and shot a blast at Dike. Dike looked in fear as the blast of magic came at her. Then Cinaed jumped in front of her. The magic blast hit his left shoulder revealing the bone. The blast hit his shoulder blade, vaporising it.
“I missed. Well I won’t miss this time.” Cyrus said as Cinaed screamed in pain and wiggled. She aimed again and then someone snapped their fingers. Then a explosion happened right on her engulfing her in smoke. Out of the smoke she came crashing down with smoke coming out of her mouth. She fell with a thud. Cinaed looked at her as she fell and passed out from the pain.
Chapter 6
Part 11
I Think I saw Death’s Horse
A man came walking up from the road. It was General Mustang with an army of soldiers behind him.
“Sir we have captured their main base just a few clicks from here.” A soldier said in a blue uniform.
“Every good now attend to the wondered.” General Mustang said as he walked over to Dike holding Cinaed’s head on her lap. “Is this the man who stopped her for the most part?” Mustang asked as he kneeled down to look at him.
“Yes.” Dike said.
“What’s his name?” Mustang asked.
“Cinaed. Cinaed Ignus.” Dike said.
“He fought hard but he needs a doctor. He’s gonna bleed out if we don’t get him to a hospital.” Mustang said was no concern in his voice. Then a siren was heard coming at great speed. It was a small truck with a tent over the top of the trunk. It had to 2 red lines and a line going threw both. 3 men got out of the truck with a cot. Mustang got out of the way and they picked Cinaed up. The men tried to slow down the bleeding in major injuries. They got him on the truck and zoomed away. Meanwhile coming in the same direction from where Cinaed was going was a long line of trucks with military weapons along with emblems on them. Along with a few tanks but not that many.
From across the street came the soldiers from earlier. Being herded by soldiers some of the soldiers riding horses.
Mustang walked to Cyrus. Dike got up and walked behind him.
“Tell me is she died?” Dike said behind him.
“No that shot was to far away and she was tough enough to survive.” Mustang said.
“Fine I’ll kill her myself.” Dike said with rage in her eyes and a poison forming in her hand. Mustang looked at her.
“If you kill her, we may never get the information to save you or Cinaed a second time.” Mustang said. Dike’s blood card parts began to dissolve and fall off. “How long did Cinaed fight her?” Mustang asked.
“I don’t know about 10 maybe 15 minutes.” Dike said.
“If he could only do this much damage in about 12 minutes he’s never gonna live in this world as the new Dragon Wielder.” Mustang said. Dike looked at him and then looked at her hands.
“If Cinaed can’t make it in this world then what chance do I have to help him.” Dike thought frustrated.
“However I do believe we will meet in the future if he does survive until then. And when we do meet he’ll probably need my help again.” Mustang said getting up. He began to walk away.
“Where are you going?” Dike said.
“I’m going to go work. Tell Cinaed, he’s welcome and see him soon.” He said waving his hand. Bast came running toward him and began to talk.
“What’s up with that guy?” Dike said. Themis and Janan came up to Dike and brought her inside with army medical staff helping the injured while they walked to their room.
Meanwhile in the hospital, Cinaed surrounded by doctors trying to stop the bleeding. Stitching Cinaed covered in cloth and blood. They tried to use medical magic and help. A nurse brought in a bunch of materials and showed them to a doctor. The doctor took some of the materials and placed one material in Cinaed’s arm where he lost his shoulder and used symbols on the material to change it to make a replacement shoulder but always turned it back to it’s original shape and threw it out and placed another material in his shoulder.
After a few hours one by one the doctors left and about 2 doctors were left and 4 nurses. A doctor walked in this one wasn’t like the other doctors. Unlike the doctors they’re just cleaning Cinaed up and covering cuts on Cinaed this one had tools with a material this material was like a gold-copper color and looked like a metal of some sort. The new doctor came up to Cinaed’s shoulder and stopped.
“Why is this patient's shoulder sewed up? He doesn’t have a shoulder.” The new doctor demanded to know.
“Because his magic veins and body are rejecting all we got.” A doctor said focused on his work. The new doctor looked at Cinaed’s shoulder and pulled out a knife and cut Cinaed’s shoulder open.
“HEY! What the hell are you!!!” A doctor said reaching over to grab the new doctor’s arm before he could, he fell into unconsciousness along with the other doctor and nurses in the room. They fell on the ground. The new doctor worked in silence.
When the doctors and nurses woke up, Cinaed had a new shoulder and had been stitched up. The doctors ran out of the room and looked for the mysterious doctor but it was like he never existed.
Chapter 6
Part 12
Silence!
The morning came and Cinaed woke up looking out the window. Cinaed smiled.
“Who ever took that bitch out I got to thank?” Cinaed said looked over to where the convention center was and saw the top of it just above the trees then over the curtain that was to his left. He then realised his shoulder and looked down to it. It was stitched up almost like it never got destroyed. He raised his hand and knocked on it. It made a knocking sound like bone but it only came from his hand. A door opened behind the curtain and Mr. Potter came in and sat on a chair and opened the paper. Cinaed saw the front page. It read “Dragon Wielder vs. Mysterious General”.
“What are you doing here, Mr. Potter?” Cinaed asked.
“I decised to keep you company besides the FFM convention is on hold.” Mr. Potter said.
“Why so?” Cinaed said.
“Because about a third of the people there are injured and the FFM leaders of the state are having a meeting what to do.” Mr. Potter said concentrated on the paper. “The others are coming but they might take awhile do to fact the FFM leaders don’t want people to wonder off.”
“Oh well they’re just protecting others like I was.” Cinaed said looking outside.
“No they aren’t. They’re only holding people because they think it’s the right thing to do but it isn’t. It’s stupid to hold people in a small place and not get fresh air.” Mr. Potter said. There was a pause in the room.
“So who was that guy who saved me?” Cinaed said.
“General Mustang. A private when I left the army.” Mr. Potter said.
“What magic did he use?” Cinaed asked. Mr. Potter raised his head and looked at Cinaed. He then laughed.
“I don’t know. Last I heard he was in the Alchemy division of the army and he was telling people he was working on some kind of flame alchemy or some kind of air alchemy. I guess he either gave up alchemy to practice some kind of explosion magic or he figured something out.” Mr. Potter said folding up the paper. Cinaed had a hard time swallowing his spit. “Well I see you’re frightened by my story so I’ll leave.” Mr. Potter said as he got up. “Oh by the way. He said “You’re welcome.”” Mr. Potter then left.
Hours passed with only the company of nurses to check on him and bringing food. That was until a door slammed opened and Dike ran to Cinaed and fell at his bed.
“Cinaed! Why?” Dike said clenching his clothes. Cinaed began to stroke her hair as he looked at her.
“Why did you save me? Why did you lose your shoulder for me?” Dike said crying as she looked up at Cinaed.
“Why?” Cinaed said as he chuckled. “Because my shoulder is a small price to pay for a person's life besides I got a new shoulder.” Cinaed pointed out.
“But you’ll never survive if you keep protecting me.” Dike cried out. Cinaed grabbed her up and hugged her.
“I’ve been protecting my family and friends ever since I could. I protect them because they protect me. If they stand by my side I’ll protect them and they’ll protect me. You are no different, no matter how you protect me even if you can only take one person in an army against us, I’ll fight to my last breathe and protect you.” Cinaed said. Dike broke down even more.
After a few more hours with them talking about random stuff, the night had come and all was quite. Dike set up a camera and decided to take a picture with Cinaed and Dike just got next to Cinaed when a loud voice could be heard outside. Then another and then another and then another and then another and then it when back to the first voice. Cinaed got up with Dike’s help and walked to the window. Outside the hospital was a crowd and 5 podiums with different markings on them. The largest had the president of the state FFM in it. His name was Riley Coda. He was a well build guy that had a ranch and worked almost every day.
“Alright now I know it’s been crazy but we are gonna have two seromonys. One tonight and one in 2 days.” Riley said. He then looked behind him upward. “And look who it is. It’s Cinaed Ignus. The star of the show!” People began to clap and cheer.
“QUIET!!!” Cinaed yelled. Everyone stopped. “Thank you. Now I’d like to say I’m no hero I was protecting you guys because it was the right thing to do or at least I thought it was. I know some people in that crowd chance to be taken and turned into slaves but they also deserve a second chance. Besides do you know what a hero is? A hero is someone who shares his beer and I want all the beer.” Cinaed said. Dike’s jaw dropped.
“You’re an idiot. Aren’t you?” Dike asked. Cinaed smiled.
“Yeah but I’m also a genius.” Cinaed smiled. “Thank you for your time.” Cinaed then went back and got back on his bed with Dike and took the picture. The photo came out of the box like camera they watched as it went from blank to black and white to full color. Dike grabbed it and showed it to Cinaed. The meeting outside continued for an hour until they stopped. Dike looked outside.
“They’re leaving.” Dike said sitting peering out the window.
“Good I hated how they blasted they’re high and mighty voices.” Cinaed said almost detoxing from the noise. “Actually if I had the choice of going home and having to deal with their voices again, I’d go home running like it’s the holy land.” Dike chuckled a bit at his comment. Then Lucas, Jessie, Karrie and Elsa walked into the room and looked at Cinaed and Dike while they looked back. A silence fell in the room.
“So… umm… How are you doin?” Karrie asked.
“Good.” Cinaed replied.
“That’s good.” Karrie said.
“So do you know why that guy came?” Jessie asked.
“I don’t know but so uniforms the soldiers wearing did look similar to the ones I saw in Waxinton. So I suppose that they maybe from the same group or they’re the same guys I saw.” Cinaed said. There wasn’t much to talk about until the door opened again with Themis and Janan.
“Guess who has WcDonalds.” Themis said carrying 3 bags of fast food. They dispersed it between the 4 of them. Elsa, Karrie, Jessie and Lucas left while everyone in that in that room sitting and eating had a good laugh. Laughing like soldiers telling their stories of wars past.

Part 13
Leaving
The next morning Cinaed was able to check himself out and Dike brought him a new set of clothes since his others were bloody and torn up. Cinaed when to the convention center and told Mr. Potter, he was gonna go home.
“That’s fine. After all you did have one hell of a stay. It would surprise me if you stayed for the remainder of time.” Mr. Potter said understanding Cinaed.
“Thank you and I’ll be taking a small bag of stuff with me back. The rest will be packed and taken home by Dike.” Cinaed said.
“Okay.” Mr. Potter said. Cinaed walked to his room. The halls were empty like they were before what happened. He opened the door and found everything that was his right were he left it. He picked up his stuff and threw them in a little bag from a store and walked out. He passed Themis in the hall and she said something.
“Good Luck.” Themia said. Cinaed smiled.
Cinaed went to the front desk.
“Hello what can I do for you?” the lady at the front desk asked.
“Hello I’d like to know where’s the nearest train station.” Cinaed asked.
“Yes it’s about 50 miles away.” The lady at the front desk said with the same smile on her face.
“You’re kidding me right?” Cinaed said.
“Nope.” the lady at the desk said.
“Perfect now how am I gonna get there?” Cinaed said.
“There is a animal store that sells animals to people down the street.” The lady at the desk said.
“Really? Thank you!” Cinaed said smiling. He then left walking down the street. The street was cracked from the soldiers on all sides. He coational found remnants of the soldiers like a helmet, a coat, a weapon or potions.
He finally found the animal store. It was actually like a farm with 4 separate pastures and 5 large barns. It had a sign reading Dark Castle Farm and Store. He walked into a building that looked like a store and had a desk with a register and a bell. He looked around and saw no one until he rang the bell and a man came out. The man had overalls on and had armour that cover his shoulders and arms but his hands were free.
“Yes sir what can we do for you?” The man said.
“Yes I would like an animal that can carry me to the train station about 48 miles away from here.” Cinaed said.
“Okay well we have horses, ridin cattle, cabbits and all sorts of other critters.” The man said.
“Well actually I would like an animal that can get me to the station before sunset.” Cinaed said.
“Oh.. I know what you could use.” The man said “Just wait out front.” Cinaed went out front and waited. The man came with an odd cabbit. It was white with black ears and black surrounding it’s eyes with a black line going down it’s head but this wasn’t the oddest part. The oddest part was the fact it had hooves and it’s ears were more to the sid. It also had wool like a lamb rather than straight and laided back. Cinaed walked up to it.
“What type of cabbit is this?” Cinaed asked examining it.
“Oh this ain’t no cabbit. This is a sheebit.” the man said. Cinaed had an eyebrow raised.
“What’s a sheebit?” Cinaed asked.
“It’s a sheep mixed with the rabbit. It’s just as fast as a Cabbit and stronger toward going up a second gear.” The man said.
“Oh that’s good.” Cinaed said. He just on the sheebit and handed the man about 3 dollars. “Thank you.” Cinaed said as he got the sheebit to run of the property and down the road. It rocketed down the road. It’s hooves clacked.
“Good boy.” Cinaed said. “I guess I have to come up with a name you.” The sun fell from it tower in the sky. They finally made it to a station as the sunset. Cinaed got off and walked to a ticket booth.
“Hello sir I’d like to know when the next train to Medaka Station is.” Cinaed asked.
“In lower Massoz?” The man in the ticket booth flipping thru a magazine unfazed by Cinaed. He was so focused in that magazine that if a tank aimed it right at him, he couldn’t care less.
“Yes where is there another Medaka Station on this half of the world?” Cinaed said annoyed that the ticket guy wouldn’t focus on him. He finally put that comic down and looked down at train book.
“The next train is at 8 o’clock almost 1 hour away.” The ticket guy said. He then handed Cinaed a ticket after Cinaed payed him 10 cents.
“Thank you.” Cinaed said. He then walked over to his sheebit and directed him over to a bench. Cinaed sat on the bench and the sheebit laid next to it. A man that was about Cinaed’s age, he had a bandana over his head and wore a orange coat with a little blue shirt. He also wore black pants with black shoes. He had a scar run across his face and unlike Cinaed’s it ran from his hair to his nose to the other side of his face.
“That Ticket guy is a real piece of work isn’t he?” The man said. Cinaed looked at him.
“Yeah I didn’t hear you get your ticket. Did you get your’s earlier?” Cinaed said.
“Nope. I ate the print print plant. As long as I saw an object I can make an exact copy of it.” He said. “Oh I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Berk.”
“Nice to meet you Berk, my name is Cinaed.” Cinaed said. “So you’re a Demon Fruit Eater. So that must me you lived near the sea or ocean.”
“Yep I live on the west coast.” Berk said.
“You’re pretty far from home, what are you doing here?” Cinaed said.
“I was drawn over here because I heard there was a god over here and I’d like to meet the god who gave me the power to kill him or her.” Berk said.
“You’re a god slayer?” Cinaed said.
“Yep. To be more specific an Assassin God Slayer.” Berk said. “One of a kind magic right here.”
“Well did you meet her or him?” Cinaed asked.
“Yeah he was a phony. It sucks spent 3 weeks to get here and never got the chance to meet a real one.”
“Well if you don’t kill something that might help I could tell you something that could help.” Cinaed said.
“Yeah what is it?” Berk said.
“Touch my left shoulder.” Cinaed said.
“Yeah why?” Berk said.
“Just do it!” Cinaed said. He did so and got sent to the place where Cinaed and the Devil Dragon met.
“Where are we?” Berk said looking around. A groaning sound was heard beyond the cage bars.
“I hope you have a good reason to get me up.” The Devil Dragon said.
“What the hell?!” Berk said in concern.
“Yep I’m the Dragon Wielder also a blood card user.” Cinaed said. Berk and Cinaed left that zone and talked for a bit and even on the train. They talked until Cinaed got off. From there Cinaed rode home.
