Purifying the Undead Dragons
"Wow, so this what the inside of my mind is like." Laphicet amazed of seeing the very wide-open space of his mind.
"Now, it let see here." Laphicet concentrated and few dozens of blue hologram-like plates appear around him.
"Cool, now to make an Ark for Veronica and better do it fast before those zombie dragons get her and everyone!" Laphicet determined as he start thinking of blueprints for his partner and making the armor now.
(Training Camp)
Everyone at camp are doing their best to fight off the zombie dragons from getting near their camp though some have manage to wrap their tentacles on the students trying to consume them, but they were saved by their dragon partners though it's still a struggling battle.
Even Rebecca is having trouble despite destroying a few dozen more with her Gael Bolg but using her special move over and over again have is draining herself and it's only a matter of time before her Ark disappears.
"They're not letting up, but we got to stop them somehow." Rebecca panted.
Then a zombie dragon she did now see it coming fly toward her from behind on her left, Rebecca only had time to turn around to see the zombie dragon with her eyes widen and then suddenly a bunch of sharp and small weapons pierces through the undead dragon and cutting it into pieces, the attack stop and the undead dragon literally fell apart.
"You shouldn't exhaust yourself more than you already are, Miss Rebecca." Cosette advised floating next to her. Wearing light green gauntlets and boots, a little tiara on her head, a pair of shiny pale yellow-green wings on her back.
"Cosette! Those wings, is that your Ark?" Rebecca shocked.
"Indeed, it is. Zavied was thinking about giving me own wings to fly with the wind as he said." Cosette nodded twirling around once.
"Glad you like it, but the Ark you're wearing is incomplete since we're under attack I was force it bring it out so soon." Zavied explained, using the wind to make himself float.
"Don't worry, this is still a great experience to be using an Ark like this for the first time." Cosette smiled.
"Wait, does that mean the others are using their Arks as well?" Rebecca asked.
"I believe, now let focus on putting these dragons back to their grave." Cosette said looking toward the horde of the undead dragons then charge at them.
"Now go, my bladed feathers: Kaze no ken (Wind Sword)" Cosette commanded and twenty feathers from each wing flies off her and toward the horde of Necromancias. They sliced 22 of them with little ease.
"Amazing! This is more than I expected from Silvia's loyal maid." Rebecca impressed, and glad to have more fighters in the air so she wouldn't take on so many alone.
"Don't forget about me, I'm gonna blow these suckers away!" Zavied excited as he follows his partner and slashes at the undead dragons with his wind.
Down on the ground, two of the female students are surrounded by the undead dragons as they were about to wrap their tentacles around them, but one was knocked into the air and then slammed right onto the other one. The female students and the undead dragons look to see it is Angela wearing golden-brown gauntlets with spikes on the knuckles, shoulder pads, metal boots, and a belt with a grim reaper symbol.
"Didn't you mothers ever tell you it's not nice to gang up on girls?" Angela asked sarcastically with a wink.
Eizen steps in lifting two zombie dragons by the heads and smashing them into each other crusing the skulls, he punches one of the corps crashing into two more zombie dragons.
"Take this! Yama ken (Mountain Fist)" Angela slammed her fist to the ground and spikes raises beneath the remaining zombie dragons instantly killing them.
"Wow, that was so awesome!" One female student said.
"Thank you so much, Miss Cornwell! You too, Eizen!" The second female student thanked.
"Don't thank us just yet, we still have a battle to win." Angela pointed out.
"Be careful on using the Ark, it's not incomplete so it won't last long." Eizen mentioned.
"Then we better finish as many of these monsters as we can." Angela said as she and Eizen ran to battle more Necromancias.
"Back off, you bunch of creep!" Prim panicked a little as she swings her lime-green scythe slicing some of the zombie dragons with wind slashes.
"You better stop this rampaging or else you'll get a taste of my Shi-fū (Death Wind) through you!" Prim threatened, and accidentally send a wind slash close to Frida and Silva.
"Hey, watch where you swing that thing!" Frida angered.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Prim apologized.
"Honestly, you always make such a mess." Frida pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Lady Frida, more are coming this way." Silva pointed at the four zombie dragons charging at them.
"These beasts are disgusting, who ever made such a spell of bringing the dead back to life is insane to cause despair." Frida glared as she smacks the ground with her silver-purple whip-sword.
"Shirubāhoippu (Silver Whip)" Frida whipped the walking dragon corpses slashes them as the blades are ignited in a flash of silver lighting disintegrating them as well.
Silva took a deep breath and blew a stream of silver-colored flames at the zombie dragons burning them away while making sure he doesn't burn the trees away as well.
"I wonder how the others are doing at the mountain?" Frida asked worry for the two princesses.
"I'm sure they're fine, we have to focus on fighting them for now." Silva stated.
"You're right, we have to save the camp!" Frida determined.
(With Ash's Group)
"Damn it, I was really that Nuada the Legend of Dragons wouldn't be use like this." Ash grunted as he dodges the tentacles while carrying Eco's body.
The giant dragon known as Nuada, the dragon from the legend about sacrificing his life for his partner is now a walking dragon corps bending to Milgauess's will to destroy them in this sacred resting place of the dead dragons which more are raising because of that man.
"It was unavoidable that this would happen, curses that man!" Veronica angered as she slashes away from more tentacles coming to her and Laphicet.
"Come now, I wonder how long you can keep this up." Milgauess smiled evilly.
"Just you wait when I get my hands on you!" Veronica angered, slashing a few more into pieces.
However, some have manage to wrap around her arms much to the Valkyrie's shock as she tries to get them off but the grip of the tentacles were too strong to break free, then more tentacles start grabbing her dragon partner along with Eco.
"No, LAPHICET!" Veronica screamed.
"ECO!" Ash screamed as well.
Then both humanoid dragons open their eyes just in time seeing the danger they were about to be in.
"Hey, you stupid worse than a muddy dog! I told you to watch over my body!" Eco complained and then smile at Ash.
"Honestly, what would you do without me?" Eco asked rhetorically.
"Glad to have you back, Eco." Ash smiled.
"I'm guessing I kept you waiting long." Laphicet chuckled.
"Don't worry, it was worth the wait." Veronica smirked, quickly wiping away the little tear from her eye.
"Let's do this." Laphicet smirked.
Then bright lights came from both Eco and Laphicet shines destroying most of the zombie dragons away as Milgauess watches the display.
"Arclight, very powerful. I would expect nothing less from the Daughter of Avalon though that "Laphicet" dragon boy is something else, just like the strange Atral Flow I felt sometime ago." Milgauess said.
Faster than the eye can see, Ash and Veronica exit the light, and each threw a punch at Milgauess as he catches them in his hands while being pushed back several feet before pushing the two back.
Ash is now wearing a yellow-gold armor with a blue cape and a blue symbol on the helmet.
Veronica is wearing a silver armor with spikes on the armbrace and legs, silver dragon wings on her back, and helmet that looks like the head of a dragon. The armor also has light green trim like there marks all over her body including on the two-piece bikini clothing on her body area and her breasts is covered by dragon claw-like breastplate.
"Wouldn't at least one of you take on Nuada than me?" Milgauess asked as he grabs his sword.
"You clearly underestimated the strength my little sister has." Veronica smiled.
Silvia and Lautreamont are battling together to stop the walking dead Nuada hoping to let him rest in peace again.
"Right now, you should be more worry about drinking your meals through a straw." Veronica threatened.
"Aw, Veronica, I see you're still the tough sister even when you were little. That toughness even scared the mother dragon if I recall correctly." Milgauess chuckled.
"What? How do you know that?" Veronica demanded.
"Hey Ash, that Ark is for defense so no punching and kicking unless you want to be dragon chow!" Eco warned.
"Go, Veronica! Show them what you can do!" Laphicet cheered.
"Manifest now, oh the impregnable shield, its name Aegis." Ash summoned five floating little devices.
"Come forth, oh mighty fire that burns within my very, Moeru kibō (Burning Hope)" Veronica chanted as the wings on her back shines off and into Veronica's hands becoming duel swords.
Ash's floating devices go and turn two of the zombie dragons into stone while Veronica slashes away the other four.
"Petrifying magic? But I was certain that had been outlawed in my country." Milgauess shocked and dodge when three of the devices try to turn him into stone and destroy them.
Milgauess was about to attack Ash with a palm strike, but Veronica intervene blocking his attack with the flat part of her sword and pushes him before clashing her blades against his blocking and parrying each other as their skills seem to be evenly match. Veronica felt something strange about this enemy, the way he moves and using reminds her of someone, like her older brother. She pushes the thought out of her head and stab the ground and silver flames erupts in front of Milgauess blocking his vision as one remaining float device shot the stone beam at him turning his left arm to stone.
"Here's one more!" Ash charged through the silver flame and punch Millgauess in the face pushing him back a few feet.
"How dare you!" Milgauess angered.
"I don't think so." Silvia said appearing with her dragon and everyone together.
"Nuada's soul has return to the heavens." Silvia informed.
"You lost, accept your fate." Silvia glared.
"(Well done, little sister.)" Veronica smiled.
However, Milgauess did something no expected him to do by ripping his stoned left arm off much to their shock.
"Surprise? The left one was a false all along, Blake did some damage but I'm more surprise by you Fourth Princess. I'll revive my opinion of you." Milgauess said before running to the cliff and jump.
Ash and friends try to stop him, but the madman somehow disappeared just after he jumped, and Lucca pointed at the camp seeing it is still being attacked by countless Necromancias.
"Everyone, you all fought so hard. The only one among us who did didn't help was me." Lucca said.
Then did the most craziest thing she has ever done: grabbing Ash's arm and forcing them to jump off the cliff.
"Ash!" Eco gasped.
"Is she crazy?!" Laphicet screamed.
"I wouldn't worry about them." Veronica said, confusing them.
"That girl knows what she is doing, she's going to save the camp." Veronica believed.
"(Gawain, I'm sorry. I promise I won't be afraid of you anymore. So, please take me back. Tap into my Astro Flow, drink your fill of it because after all… you're my Par.)" Lucca thought pleaded and promise to never give up on each other.
Then a bright green light erupted from the ground like a pillar of light engulfing both Ash and Lucca and flies off to the camp.
(Training Camp)
The battle against the zombie dragons is growing a little harder for everyone to hold out even with the four newly Breeders and their incomplete Arks helping to ease things up is becoming difficult than they thought.
As Cosette was about to attack another flying Necromancia, her wings Ark suddenly disappeared and nearly fell if Zavied hadn't caught her.
"Oh no, my Ark!" Cosette gasped.
"Damn, I was hoping it would hold out just a little longer." Zavied grunted.
Rebecca's Ark as also disappeared from the exhaustion of fighting so many at once.
"(There's too many of them. I hate to admit it, but we're done for.)" Rebecca feared.
Angela, Frida, and Prim are also losing their Arks as their bodies are becoming exhausted from just using their Arks for a while for the first time.
"Uh, what's that?" Prim wondered seeing a strange green light coming.
Everyone something coming this way, surprise to see it is Lucca riding on her dragon and Ash with them and Lucca stands up ready to perform the Dragon Dance as Gawain flies fast, faster than any dragon has ever gone before. She remembers what happened back then swear to never make that same mistake again. She jumps off Gawain doing some rolling flips creating a giant green magic diamond shape crest and lands perfectly on her dragon's back.
"Dragon Dance, the first movement: Cleansing Areta" Lucca said.
The giant crest glows brightly and let out green raindrops that made every single one of the zombie dragons fade away letting their souls rest in peace again.
"Amazing, so that is Dragon Dance." Eizen shocked.
"Yep, and that's only the first movement too." Angela nodded.
"Wow, it's so pretty!" Prim's eyes sparkled by the beautiful giant crest.
"You reunited with Gawain and saved us, thank you." Rebecca thanked.
"That went pretty well." Cosette said.
"Barely made it out by the skin of our teeth too, at least we got to see a good show at the end." Zavied commented.
"Looks like our days in training camp did set off with good memories to cherish." Frida smiled and held Silva's hand making him smile too.
(With Milgauess)
Milgauess is seen giving his report of the incident with Klaus Viderhausen, a noble of the Zepharos Empire.
"I see." Klaus said.
"At least we now know the full extent of their military power, plus with this incident we've proven again that we have the ability to resurrect the Necromanica." Milgauess stated.
"Oh, so it's not a totally lose then, is it?" Klaus asked smirking and looking down at his cup.
"I'll crush them both, Lautreamont Knightdom and the Chevron Kingdom, and the Continental Congress will be their undoing." Klaus proclaimed.
(With Veronica and Laphicet)
Veronica is seen sitting on her captain seat with Lapchiet sitting on her lap, she looks out the window still remembering her fight with Milgauess; those moves when they were sword fighting and the way he mentioned about her scaring the Mother Dragon almost like he knows about her personal life. Not to mention the hair, while different it does resemble her late-big brother, but her instincts are telling her there is more to this than she realizes.
"Are you okay, Veronica?" Laphicet asked.
"Just thinking about a certain mystery, and I intend to get to bottom of it." Veronica said.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The training camp is saved as everyone made it out alive, unfortunately, that also include Milgauess escaping though he'll be back planning something big in the near future. Hope you all like how I made the Arks of the Five Breeders though four of them are incomplete, Veronica's Ark was made pretty cool and strong from Laphicet as she'll need it for upcoming danger to her kingdom.
