The man laughed, sticking his halberd in the ground, the wings, straightening then folding on his back. "F-father." Kainzu muttered. "Yes, yes, would you like a hug?" Kainzu, about to nod, pulled out Ragnarok from the sheathes. "We came here.. to.. Fight you.." Kainzu glared, as Catherine began to cast a protection spell. "Ah, so you figured out the real reason for this hulk?" He asked, looking at the group. "N-no, I just know what the right thing to do is!" Kainzu got into his rogue stance. "Abandoned by your family, kidnapped, and taken advantage of by pirates, losing almost everything, and you still think you're strong? You have the will to live? You my boy are definitely a Halone. Your blood will be the perfect offering!" He laughed, the devilish smirk reformed on his face. "I will end you all, with great pleasure! But first, allow me to explain my ultimate plan with this starship!" He lifted his hands in the air, to where it appeared as if he held the red moon in his hands. "I plan, to put the moon back where it belongs, far far above, and continue the Allagan studies, and chimeric experiments and mutations, so one day, when I am pleased, I may release these beasts upon the world!" He laughed again, much louder, as if he were roaring. "It is time we finish this. To think, you and your group of fools attempt to defile me!" The man pulled the lance from the ground, and lunged in the air, his wings spread wide, until he slowly hovered above the arena. Kainzu nodded to the group, Archer walking slowly in front. "Excalibur! Aegis! Transform!" The weapons on his back, and on his hip, began to shape a sword, and shield, both a pure white, with gold trimmings. "Ah so you possess two tomestones?" "Yes, and they're fully fledged to ending your life." He unsheathed both the blade and shield. Kainzu, with Ragnarok in hand, walked up beside Archer. "Wait for me dear brothers!" Hinata jumped in the air, the blades in her hands, began to flow with Aetherical Fire, as she landed on Archer's shoulders, she stood up, glaring at the man. "Now we're the same height!" She smirked crossing her arms, blades in their sheathes. "Behold! The beast that shall put an end to you're evil reign!!" Sylver shouted beginning to summon. Suddenly Eos popped out from the book and sat on his head. "Beware! For this is! Eos!" The fairy waved with a smile on her face. "Hina! Get off his shoulders.. He's my property!" Catherine yelled jealously. "Blood is thicker than water!" Hinata replied. "Are you calling me water!" Catherine argued. "Be nice you two." Sol muttered walking up next to Catherine. "Or I'll freeze you both, here and now." Hina jumped down from his shoulders. "Yessir." The two muttered. "Ragnarok? What are the odds of us actually defeating my father." "1 in 100" "that one is all I need. Archer, get ready." Archer held his shield firm, before running into battle, grabbing the attention of Lord Dreadwyrm, turning him away from the group, with his great wing she blew the group behind him back, the lasers lit up, a loud buzz filling the air. Archer began slicing, and blocking the man's attacks, with one of the large Bahamut claws, he sliced quickly at Archer, Archer withstanding the attack with the shield. The floating island began to spin, as if they were in a spiral of some sorts. The surrounding islands, followed in this spinning motion. There was a great wind in the arena now, as if they were caught in the middle of a tornado. Kainzu quickly ran towards the man, beginning to slice the back of his father, Hinata followed, manipulating the wind around her, and fusing it to her blades, otherwise known as Fang, to strike deeper, and faster wounds. "Don't you love the smell of Drachen blood in the morning!" Raz shouted as she lunged into the spiraling wind tunnel. "Dragon fire dive!" She shouted lighting fire to the spiraling wind tunnel, then with all her might, using the Aetherical flames, she struck Lord Dreadwyrm, and lit him aflame. He shrieked with both pleasure and pain, turning around, and pointing the halberd, which began to glow, and reformed into a gun, he aimed, and pulled the trigger. Raz quickly jumped dodging the bullet, as he aimed and began firing more. "Dammit!" Raz yelled as a bullet grazed her right shoulder. Kainzu quickly with both blades stabbed his father in the gut, breaking his skin, blood spurting from the wound, and coloring the white overcoat. It was quickly healed, but as a precaution he flew into the air. The wind slowed to a stop, as the surrounding islands continued to orbit the main island. Lord Dreadwyrm flew and hovered in the center of the arena, and Allagan marks. A protective Allagan orb surrounded him, it flew a light calm blue, and a timer appeared on the side. It was holographic, so you could easily walk through it, but at the same time, no damage could be dealt to Lord Dreadwyrm. "Enjoy a little fun children! With the energy I've collected from the surrounding winds, enjoy a few twisters!" He laughed, pointing the gun at Archer. "Twister!" He shouted, Archer quickly moving , as a spiral underneath him flew, and exploded, blasting dust into the air. "Shit!" Hinata yelled. "Everyone spread out! Don't walk towards each other!" Kainzu yelled. Everyone spread out, and watched the man. He pointed the halberd gun. "Twister!" He shouted, Kainzu looked beneath him, quickly running to the left. A twister exploding, as if one was following him. "Kainzu!" Sylver shouted, as he began a spell. Eos quickly followed, spreading a dust on the group, while a Nymian orb surrounded each member individually. The man pointed the Halberd again, aiming carefully. "Let's make this interesting!" he laughed, as he began to shoot multiple twisters. "Twister! Twister! Twister!" The group migrated in a circle, as Twisters sprouted up from beneath their feet. "Damn you! Taste the fury of thy lord!" He roared, as the timer hit 10 seconds. "Commence! Giganta flare!" "Group up on me!" Archer shouted. The group ran mid center, directly underneath the floating orb. "And thy Lord, Bahamut, reek your havoc upon these pitiful souls! Make the heavens fall, pierce these insolent fools with your powerful might! Unleash thou's fury!" The sky turned a blood red, the air grew warm, then hot. "L-look!" Sol pointed with his staff towards the red moon. Bursting like an egg hitting the ground, the chunks falling to the floor, Allagan constructs being hurled towards the group. "Behold! Lord Bahamut!" He laughed like a madman, his eyes began to glow an Allag red. Three of the surrounding islands were suddenly taken from the sky, by a long key shaped Allagan shaft, causing the islands to explode, burst, and break. "Sacred Soil!" Sylver quickly synthesized a Nymian shield, surrounding the group. Quickly after, Catherine held her staff to the red moon. "Holy!" She shouted, casting an additional Orb, breaking, and desensitizing anything to cross into its area. The great Dreadwyrm broke from its prison, flames spurting everywhere, it was pierced with Allagan machinery, as if to nullify its power. It roared a mighty roar, the beast spread its wings, and launched itself further into the sky. "T-this.. Is.." Kainzu muttered, as the man above him laughed with great pleasure. "Paradise my dear boy!" "H-hell..." With his Halberd, he moved the tip in a circular motion, and struck down. "Heavensfall!" He shouted, an Allagan construct, similar to the one that struck the smaller islands, impacted the group, hitting the dead center, Catherine struggled in a battle with the colossal mechanism. "I... I can't!!" She yelled, as the island began to be pushed from the air, falling from the sky. "I.. Must.. Protect you all!" "Not by yourself you won't!" Sol yelled, raising his staff in the air, donating his magicks to the woman, helping with the shield. Sylver to joined in, using his book to propel physical aspects of Aether into the spell, making it stronger. In a giant explosion, everything went white with flame, a great blur. Kainzu shielded his eyes. As the light died down, he found himself and the others lying on the floor, the shield weakly spurted with energy, as it began to fade. Archer quickly stood up, as the man lept into the air, and landed before them, the impact, causing them pain. He then hovered, halberd in hand. "R-Ragnarok.. What do I do.. P-please." "Kainzu, it's time we unleash your power. It will be the only way to stop your father." "B-but.. How..? What power could I possibly have..." "Your blood, you are a descendant from a long line of Allagan Royalty. With just a few drops, I can release your power, you can defeat this abomination of a man, and save your family." "Heh, what's the catch..." There was a brief moment of silence between the two, as the group struggled to stand. "There's no going back." Kainzu took a blade, and slit one of his wrists, the blood being consumed by Ragnarok. "Beginning analyzation." The blades throbbed with energy, as Kainzu began to float in the air. "Accessing DNA transmitter." An orb formed around Kainzu, as another construct hurled towards the group, the great mechanical shaft, exploding on impact, pieces scattering around. Two biochemical chambers falling to the group below. "Archer!" Hinata shouted. "I got it! You distract the one on the right. I'll get the left!" The two pods burst open, mutated men climbing out, one with blue Aetheric crystal on his back, the other with orange. Hina ran, and began to slice, and stab the orange one, while Archer began an honest battle with the blue, using his sword and shield in perfect harmony. "DNA conformation complete, unlocking Allagan Eye." The wind around Kainzu began to stir, creating a vortex beneath him. Sol, Catherine, and Sylver quickly got up, Eos laying on Sylver's shoulder. He unhooked his book from his hip. "Catherine! Heal Hinata! I'll get Archer! Sol, our best bet is if you bombard the Orange first, Hinata can't take very much damage." He ordered, the two nodded, and began doing as he said. "Hinata! Look out!" Archer yelled looking over his shoulder. The Orange Aetheric man began to glow, the crystal changing color to the blue, the other, changing to an orange. The, now blue man, raised his arm, as it grew full of crystal, about to swing down. "Hina! Switch!" Archer yelled, running over to the blue, blocking the attack with his shield. "On it!" Hina yelled in reply, as she began attacking the Orange. "Allagan Eye download complete, accessing core." Ragnarok began to shift, and change, the jagged blades became slick knifes, the length of Kainzu's fore arm, the hilts, were covered with a soft leather, and tips of the hilts decorated with tassels, the blade was a smooth silver, while the leather and tassels were jet black. "Initiating dark cluster." The blades suddenly burst with a pure white, and a dark purple at the base. "Analysis, Allagan Eye, Confirmed, Ragnarok 2.0 uploaded, link stable, Dark Matter, in ample supply. Transformation complete. Releasing in T-minus 15 seconds. Beginning countdown." A timer appeared at the center of the sphere, Kaiznu's eyes calmly closed, his wounds healed, and stamina regenerated. "5. 4. 3." Sol quickly cast a massive Conflagration, causing the blue crystallized man to explode, the shards that remained flew towards Hina, who swiftly dodged, as they impaled the Orange man. "Kill him! Quickly!" Archer commanded, as Hinata shifted Fang to a two handed sword. "Death swipe!" She yelled, slicing the man in half, then returned her blades back into two. "2. 1." There was a brief moment of silence, as the man flew down to the group, his wings spread wide. "On the eve of the calamity, it 'twas as if the heavens were to fall, and this, is that night! You are lucky to witness the release of my lord! Bahamut! Cleanse these insufferable fools! Smite them with your flames! Smite them with the Heavens! Destroy them in a blaze of your glory!" He shouted as the sphere dispersed, and Kainzu floated in the air. "Father, this is the end for you." Kainzu looked up, and opened his eyes. One, an Allag red, the other, it's calm grey. He unsheathed Ragnarok, as it quickly began to flow the pure white, and dark purple. "Face me, and me alone." Kainzu got in a different stance, both arms to his sides, and Ragnarok pointed behind him. He continued to float there, before landing to the floor. His left foot touching the tortured earth, then his right. "Heh, as you wish my son." The Halberd appeared in his hand, as he got in a stance. His left hand at the rear of the lance, his right near the front. He held it over his shoulder, and waited for the match to begin. "Fight!" He shouted gleefully, as he sped towards Kainzu, in return Kainzu jumped in the air, an Allag hologram projecting him up, then keeping him afloat, he quickly formed an X formation with his blades, stopping the man, and the Halberd. "Allagan field!" He swiped his blades, releasing a shocking Holographic X which the blades had formed, pushing, and shocking the man, causing blood to stain his white dress coat. "Now look what you've done! Didn't your mother teach you not to make messes! Oh wait! She's dead!" He laughed, charging towards his son again. "Allagan Eye!" A Holograph appeared in front of him, with his left arm he swiped from right to left, a holographic blade swiped, and cut the man's torso. "Ack!" He yelled, flying backwards. The man's torso was stained red, with cuts across the shirt. He panted heavily, as he looked towards his son. "Holochart! Accesses terminal. Teleport! Terminal 1Z!" The world around them began to glitch, as blue Aether began to teleport the group one by one, the war grounds faded, to reveal they were in an Allagan construct. One by one, everyone teleported, then Kainzu last.
---------Ragnarok-Terminal-1Z--------
When Kainzu appeared, the group stood before him, they were on a lift, that was moving upwards, Kainzu took a seat, his eye, a bright red. "Well. That was something." Archer muttered. "Where's Lord Dreadwrym?" Kainzu asked. "Do not worry. I am a man of honor." A voice spoke. "Where are you!" Kainzu shouted. "You'll see soon enough. If I am to die at my son's hand, then I shall perish, where I first became this way. That I became Lord Dreadwyrm, instead of Carmichael Halone." "Terminal 1Z, is that where we're headed?" Kainzu asked, looking up at a bright white light above. Suddenly they entered an Allagan hulk, similar to the one they met Hinata in. There was a flurry snow, with freezing wind. The landscape in front of them, they walked off the lift. They one by one, Kainzu leading the way, across a mechanical bridge, walked to the man, his back turned on them, the wings tattered, and blood stained, the drachen talons, were gone, and his arms were covered with cuts. They continued forward to the platform on which he stood. "Look around children, look below us, tell me what you see." Kainzu, Hinata, and Archer, walked towards the edge, as stood next to the man, Kainzu, standing to the left, Hinata and Archer to the right. The four looked down at their old cabin, far, far below, the landscape in front of them, was the snowy peaks of Coerthas. They stood on the very chunk of Ragnarok that landed in Coerthas. "It is time dear boy." He turned to Kainzu, opening his bloodied arms, then embraced Kainzu. Kainzu's eyes quickly filled with tears, as he hugged his father. After a few short minutes, he released his son. "Take this Amulet, it was your Mother and I's wedding token, inside, a picture of all of us. As a family." He opened the locket, looking at the picture, in the middle, Kainzu, Hina, and Archer, with their Father to the left, and Mother to the right. They were all smiling, Kainzu wiped both his eyes. "Now, the three of you say goodbye to your Father." Hinata quickly jumped into his arms, followed by Archer, and lastly Kainzu. "My brave children. You seek the truth yes? Of the Ragnarok?" He asked, Kainzu replying. "Yes, we do, are you going to tell us?" He shook his head. "That is for you to find out. A great adventure awaits you." He began to fade, a bright white Aether, beginning to float towards the heavens. "B-but! Where do we go? What do we do!" Archer quickly asked. "Follow your Tomes, they will guide you. The three of you are strong separately, but together, you are deadly. Remember that." The three nodded. "I shall store myself in a crystal of Alexandrite, when you find the truth, I will return, pure as the light we see." He looked towards Kainzu. "You are of Allagan royalty. That eye can do more than you can imagine, use it with care, unlike I did." Hinata sobbed hugging her father. "Don't you cry. It'll be alright." "I.. I..." "Shh, darling, I love you too, I love you all, now. Goodbye my children." There was a burst of Aether, as it flowed with the wind, in Kainzu's hand, was a small green rectangular crystal of dark matter. "Let's return." Kainzu looked up, smiling at the group. They all smiled in return, as they one by one teleported to the Ragnarok Central Core Research Facility.
