Chapter 42:

The Dragon Vs Iy

Ane And His Seames


Ane roared and Iy watched him before roaring back. "This is....intense." Ene said as he pulled out a packet of popcorn from his back pocket and began eating. The team eyed him.

"Seriously?" Sid remarked.

"Oh right." Ene said; swinging away the snack. "This is a serious battle." he stated; sighing.

"This isn't the time for jokes!" Eina scolded. Lana watched Ane worriedly. 

"He'll be fine." Ene reassured. The ground split as Ane pounced at Iy who charged also and the other teens backed away quickly. 

"I'm not sure. He's lost control yet again." Sid remarked as they landed. Lana's eyes were shielded.

Iy spat acid which Ane dodged easily to then phase to Iy and slap the creature away. Iy rolled to his feet to receive Ane's fist to the jaw. Iy fell back and Ane caught his foot. "Die!" Ane yelled as he slammed Iy into the ground; growling. Iy seemed to appear far back.

"Acid Rain." he said as acid poured from the sky from a dragon eye which appeared there.

"This is crazy!" Ene yelled as he and the others were forced to back away even further. Ane slapped the ground and placed a piece of terrain over him but the acid rapidly ate at the piece of earth and the ground around Ane. The teen roared; cracking the ground around him even further. Iy stumbled to the ground; the rain stopping and Ane immediately charged the creature and scratched it with his claws. Poison mist sprayed from the scar; covering Ane.

"Ane!" Lana screamed attempting to approach the boy but Sid held her.

"Not a good idea." he warned.

"But!" Lana yelled.

"He's right, Lana. You'll only be in the way of both parties." Eina said. Lana looked down sadly and Eina hugged her. "I'm sure Ane's okay." Eina reassured; smiling. Lana nodded.

"This is some hot action!" Ene yelled with a pumped look.

"Yes...this battle is...interesting." Sid stated.

"Battle? I was talking about the baes...." Ene began to be uppercutted by Eina.

The poison mist was scattered across the terrain and Iy hovered above it; watching calmly. "Ane...dead?" he asked. The most began to clear into one area to reveal it was Ane sucking up the mist. He swallowed it all and then glared at Iy.

"You maniac!" Eina yelled.

"Ane no!" Lana screamed. Ane turned to them and rose his middle finger.

"I think he's alright." Sid stated. Ane shot at Iy who spat a sword engulfed in liquid which Ane spun around.

"It's futile!" Ane yelled as he flipped and kicked Iy into the ground and landed next to the creature. "This is it!" he roared as he punched Iy across the wasteland and appeared behind the mutant. "Dragon Slash!" Ane yelled; slashing Iy; half of the hill going with the slash.

"Holy Shit!" Ene shouted as he and the others hopped onto the other hill. Iy's pieces fell into the forest and Ane landed in front of the teens.

"This is bad." Sid thought before summoning his cutlasses.

"What are you doing?" Lana inquired.

"Defending ourselves." Ene replied as he summoned his staff; flames surrounding it. Short swords appeared in Eina's hand.

"Adjusting blades." she remarked.

"Are you guys seriously thinking of..." Lana began.

"It has to be done." Sid said. Lana frowned.

"He's your friend! How can you even think about hurting him!" she yelled; standing before Ane.

"Not good!" Sid shouted jumping behind Lana. A gushing sound was heard and Sid stood there; claws going through him. Lana was on the ground; staring in horror. "Made it in time." Sid remarked; coughing in blood.

"Sid...I...I..." Lana stuttered.

"It's alright." Sid said; smiling. Ane flung him away and eyed his friends viscously.

"Everything must end." he remarked bluntly; his eyes gleaming as he went on all fours. He grinned crazily and his friends backed up slightly. Ene shook his head.

"We need to hold him down!" he exclaimed.

"Y-yeah." Eina stammered in response. Lana sat on the ground; looking dazed.

"I guess it's me and you." Ene stated; grinning at Eina who watched away; blushing slightly.

"Don't get any ideas." she said. Ane tilted his head before appearing next to Ene; his fist buried in the boy's face. Ene launched back; a couple of teeth flying before he rolled to his feet but on of his legs snapped.

"FUCK!" Ene screamed as he fell over.

"Ene!" Eina yelled; running to the boy. Ane appeared in her way; growling. Eina backed away to see blood spraying from her chest as Ane barely missed her as he flashed above her. Eina landed on the ground; screaming in pain to then roll to her knees. "This pain is unbearable." she thought; opening one eye and clenching her chest. Ane eyed her and his mouth gaped to the ground at the size of a human. "He's going to..." Eina began but fire blasted into Ane's jaw; blasting him away. Eina turned to a steaming Ene.

"Regeneration." he explained; limping to her.

"I figured that much but how did you learn such a technique?" Eina asked as she weakly stood.

"It's a natural ability actually." Ene responded. "I'm a demon." he remarked bluntly.

"So I was right." Eina said; smiling.

"This is no to smile." Ene warned; pointing at Ane who approached; stumbling about.

"Is Ane.." Eina began.

"Resisting? Yes." Ene responded. Lana stood up and walked to Ane.

"Ane; please stop this nonsense!" she yelled; crying.

"Oh boy." Ene complained; facepalming. Ane shot at Lana but he got held down by trunks of a tree which spat from the ground. Vines shot from it and also bonded him down. The boy roared as he struggled to rise.

"Ane please...stop!" Lana cried; running to him.

"Shut up!" Ane roared as his claws spat from his hands at Lana. Ene grabbed the girl as he thrusted forward and blasted into the sky; avoiding the nails. Eina flipped over the projectiles; hands still raised and casting her bondage technique. "Damn you all!" Ane yelled; roaring. Lana sat on him; crying.

"Please...I just want my Ane back." she begged. Ane remained silent and silence filled the area. Ene coughed awkwardly.

"So what's happening now?" he asked.

"How could I resist such a cute face." Ane said; smiling.

"Oh, you tease." Ene said; laughing and blushing.

"He's talking to Lana you moron!" Eina scolded; punching Ene.

"Ow ow ow ow." he complained; rubbing his face.

"So did we win?" Ane asked; sitting up with Lana still atop him.

"With one casualty." Eina replied; pointing at Sid who rested on a rock; bleeding.

"Did I do that?"Ane asked; eyes shielded.

"Yup." Ene replied.

"Guys." Sid said.

"No need to talk. It'll make matters worse." Eina began.

"No...look." Sid said; pointing. The others turned to see Iy walking out of the forest; crimson aura surrounding him. It engulfed him completely; leaving only his eyes visible. The creature flexed the aura off to reveal dragon eyes all across his arms and he grew slightly bigger as half of his body was pure elemental energy now.

"This is not good. He seems even stronger than before!" Eina yelled; backing up.

"The only reason we won before when he was weaker was because of Ane's berserk mode." Ene added; frowning. 

"He can't be THAT strong." Ane said as he stood. "Human Clone." he said causing a clone to appear on each side of him.

"He learns techniques right off the bat subconsciously. Is this the dragon's eyes doing or just muscle memory?" Sid thought; staring. Ane's clones shot forward; fists raised. The aura from Iy shot forward like a wave and spiked up; slicing apart the clones who then dispersed immediately.

"We're gonna die." Eina whispered with a look of terror.

"No; there is a way to win." Ene remarked; eyes shielded. He stepped towards Ane and rose a fist. Ane blinked blankly. "Let's fuse." Ene remarked. A moment of silence passed.

"Ene you idiot! Patraliers and Seames alone can fuse!" Eina scolded.

"Ah ah ah. You are mistaken. I happen to be Th Prince Of Flame and therefore..." Ene began.

"A patralier." Eina whispered.

"That's a huge secret Ene." Lana said; pouting.

"Don't we all have those." Ene said; eyes shielded. Lana remained silent.

"Ok ok. Let's just do it Ene." Ane said. Ene nodded and rose his fist again.

"You just gotta fist bump me and pour your elemental energy to the middle like how you fused with Lana. Saying fusion might help focus though." Ene remarked. Ane nodded and fist bumped Ene; their elemental energies conjoining.

"Fusion!" the boys yelled.
