Review Response:

Redlox2: Thank you, I know that part is very controversial, but I don't regret it.

Guest: Its how anyone would be able to defeat Naruto, its through cowardly acts, but in a fight, rules don't exist.

Guest: Maybe…

Chaks: Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the chapter.

XenoBlaze: Thanks for the love man, this chapter has a fuck ton of hate, like most of them. Oh, I think you will like the 'Baby Boy' line and how it is used.

Anthony Toujo: Yes, Vali has.

TheLegend5575: No problem man, I was just trying to remind people that Naruto IS immortal in a very strained way.

Nickclause: Thank you man.

Guest: Meh, I don't care.

Bryan of Grimm: Yeah, fuck the Otsutsuki!

Darkmaster10000000: Yeah, but I feel like I could have made Shukaku sing those lyrics, as his favorite killing song.

BladeDevil: Thank you, this chapter, whew, sure got a ton of hate.

Uzumaki140985: I know I made Naruto 'weaker', so no argument.

WindCitySlayer1: I know, Vali is fucked.

Smatt9411: We shall see about Vali's death.

Darth Destructis: I can't tell if you are being sarcastic, but I'll take it as a compliment. Thank you.

Joini: Okay that makes no sense. You say you aren't going to read, yet you say you will pick up if it gets better… doesn't that mean you will stick with the story? You are contradicting yourself.

Tottleminerftw: Shukaku fought and sealed Katerea, killed the magicians with glee, a small creature made by the Otsutsuki merged with her, giving her Rinnegan, and she fought six sage form of Naruto, not fully as strong until she takes a portion of his with Chakra Absorption, making up for some of the difference of power (People forget that she got some of his chakra) and then Naruto used the soul ability of his Rinne-Sharingan to take Katerea's soul and get information on her and the creature, learning the Otsutsuki are plotting to come to the DXD universe. However, Vali uses Beach Boy to sneak attack Naruto by using the hook to rip out Naruto's heart and then Vali has to face Gabriel, Serafall, Zest, and Ophis. Does this help?

ThunderBasilisk: AND SHENANIGANS ARE WHAT THEY ARE! WHY ARE WE YELLING?

Chronosign: We already talked, and I agree, I could have done something else, but I like what I have done, so I shall stick with it for story purposes. Owning up to my mistakes.

AscheCM: Oh, this is certainly unique for a review. Thank you, man.

Pater Richard: Okay man, you have issues. Have a good life.

Calderoneric758: Oh God, you have no idea.

Tsukoblue: Sorry, I have already made plans for the Otsutsuki.

Midnightscar17: yep, Vali's fucked.

Lilhuesos: What does that mean?

DxGRAYxMAN: He died as he lived: Picking fights.

Reviewed: Your point?

Guest: Hm.

Ehhhh: Hm, maybe read the chapter and you will see this 'Mischaracterization'.

Guest: Yes, they would wreck the Otsutsuki, if the Otsutsuki were conniving schemers.

Guest: Okay, sure, make that argument. Because I'll ignore it.

SPark681: Hm, maybe, you might hate me for this.

Arraia: No problem.

Thor94: Yeah, my Beta's actually gave me ideas on what I could have done better for the Katerea/Vali stuff, but I am completely stubborn and decided to stick with what I have already done. Owning up to my mistakes and make the best of a bad situation, despite not having issues with it myself.

Guest: the rest is here.

Hd dvdudnzkxyv: I plan on going all the way up to season four, and end it with an Original Arc.

Asingh123: Yeah, the quality has dropped. I understand, I fucked up, but I am running with it. I'm stubborn.

Whatthis: Hm, bitch.

AJGuardian: I know, right? But it is going to be better when he returns and their reactions are going to be great.

Guest: Okay… what is the problem?

Goldshqipe: I will continue. I have some stuff I want to do before I end it, despite having the epilogue all finished… actually I wrote the epilogue first and then started writing the story to fit the epilogue… so issues I have be true. For the Harem, I have one more person, and they won't get pregnant, so don't worry.

Youngdrgn: No problem. Please enjoy the chapter.

Current Harem:

Zest, Gabriel, Lucoa, Serafall, Penemue

Children:

Yasaka (Tamamo), Jack (Unknown Birth mom), Kuroka (Fujima), Xenovia (Unnamed Italian female), Asia (?), Shirone (Fujima), Jiraiya (Lucoa), Oscar and Lily (Serafall), Joseph and Mary (Gabriel), Kushina (Zest), Damian (Penemue)

OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HIGHSCHOOL DXD!

"Hey" = Speaking

'Hey' = Thinking

'Hey' = Memory

"Hey"= Sacred Gear/ Communication link/ Tailed Beast

Chapter 50: You Fucking Kidding Me

'The Otsutsuki…' Naruto thought with anger as his remaining power flared, shaking Genbu and the water around the giant turtle. 'They are attempting to get here, for me.'

Naruto gasped, the power vanishing as he powered down while he looked behind him and saw a blue line of power embedded in his body connecting to Vali's Balance Breaker.

The line was connected to the gauntlet, and there was what appeared to be a small demon-like skull merged to both of them (the right one in use while the left wasn't) and in the mouth was a spool of 'energy' string.

"Hm, Beach Boy did work on you, Protector." Vali said sadistically with a violent jerk and the hook was torn out with a beating heart.

Naruto's eyes held disbelief as his vision started to fade while he collapsed, his body dissipating into chakra before it hit the ground, leaving his clothing to drop lifelessly to the ground.

Time seemed to move slowly, border line stopping, as Ophis, Gabriel, Zest, and Serafall watched this and Vali grab Naruto's heart.

"Not much of a challenge when you are exhausted." Vali said as he squashed the heart.

No one said anything.

They were too scared to speak while Ophis, Serafall, Gabriel, and Zest powered up.

Full Power, no holding back.

The two Satan's, Archangel's, and Azazel stepped back into the barrier, sustaining it as Zest stepped out.

She, Serafall, and Gabriel glanced from Vali to the pile of clothes, where Naruto had been standing one minute ago.

Their powerful auras slowly became visible.

Yes, even the kind Gabriel was enraged enough to willingly commit selfish murder.

Even if it was completely necessary.

Serafall's blue-white aura whipped around, taking on the form of a snake with red eyes.

Gabriel's power took the form of Chomei, who flickered in and out as two tails of chakra appeared, perfectly balanced with her Holy Magic.

Zest had Son flickering in her chakra two tails appearing as she was covered in her bubbling chakra cloak.

But these paled in comparison to Ophis.

Her black-purple snakes hissed as wind was kicked up, her power shaking Genbu, causing the poor beast to become frightened, along with the animals hiding in his shell.

Genbu became so scared he retreated into his shell, causing him to sink into the water.

The secondary barrier activated, coating the shell with a fresh air dome filled protection to let the resident people and animals to stay safe when Genbu went under.

However, now that they were submerged, Ophis's power became a massive whirlpool off with three additional smaller whirlpools off the coast of Australia, kicking up a hurricane.

Vali collapsed to this power.

Everyone in the barrier, excluding the faction heads, collapsed to the ground.

"You three…" Ophis said angrily as she did her absolute best to reel in her power, less she wanted to murder the rest of her family on accident. "Stand down."

Serafall and Zest had to bite their lips fully through where they were bleeding profusely as they recalled their power, easing up the pressure on the kids.

"No." Gabriel said as she started crying and shaking in rage, her own chakra cloak starting to manifest more as she stared at Vali, getting angered from how relaxed Vali appeared. "I'm… I'm…"

Her chakra cloak flared and Gabriel was wrapped in Version Two state, her wings taking form instead of the standard chakra wings, with the tail appearing behind her along with a beetle horn.

Unlike the standard Ver. Two state, Gabriel's version was a light crimson, making it pink like a cherry tree, to show the merging of her holy magic and Chomei's chakra.

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Gabriel shouted, shocking Michael at this outburst as Gabriel HAS NEVER acted like this.

Gabriel summoned a Spear of Light, taking the form of an actual Medieval Halberd, and rammed her weapon into Vali, who didn't even try to dodge as his armor was broken completely.

"GYAHha….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Vali laughed hysterically as he was spun in the air and then slammed into the ground.

"WHAT IS SO FUNNY!" Gabriel shouted as she stomped on Vali's head before she was pulled off of Vali.

"You…" Vali gasped, blood shooting out and splashing back on his face, a never-ending smile on his face. "None of you, even the protector… never… noticed…"

Vali's face started to lighten from its pan-727 complexion, his face shifting while his hair receded, and his clothes merged and faded to reveal a White Zetsu.

"Va… Vali…" Zetsu said in playful mockery. "You got them good."

Zetsu grinned and died, his eyes holding unknown joy as they rolled in the back of his head.

"What the fuck is this…" Serafall asked as she glared at the corpse. "Some kind of fucking clone plant thing?"

"It's a White Zetsu…" Sona gasped as she recognized what the Zetsu look. "But how? Naruto should have been able to sense White Zetsu?"

"He can, but only when he is in Six Paths Sage Mode. He wasn't in it during the meeting until the fight with Katerea, where he was to focused on to really notice." Isobu explained apologetically.

"Figures." Sona said as the barrier was dropped and everyone was released.

"Xenovia…. XENOVIA!" Irina started to shout as she shook her friend, calling attention of everyone, snapping the Uzumaki women and Ophis were temporarily from their anger.

Xenovia had a broken, doll like appearance as Irina shook her. Her eyes stared miles ahead of her, which shouldn't be possible for her.

"What's…" Irina gasped while she started to panic.

"Kuroka…" Shirone said as she grabbed her sister's clothing, making Kuroka slowly turn her head to see Shirone's face.

It held disbelief while her mind tried to Bullshit her that Naruto was gone.

"Please tell me that this is just a trick?" Shirone said desperately, practically begging.

Kuroka bit her lip as she pulled her sister into her, letting her break down in Kuroka's arms.

Jack, meanwhile, sat in the chair, her hand in her face, shaking as she tried to keep herself calm.

Basara moved towards Irina, trying to calm her down as she continued to panic.

Zest, Serafall, and Gabriel saw their children in distress, and dropped all forms of anger, and made their way over to them while Ophis stared angrily at Zetsu's corpse before it started to bloom into a tree.

'Wood style?' Ophis thought as she saw this happen.

She destroyed the tree with a simple glance.

'I am not taking a chance if this is a tracer.' Ophis thought as she stepped away, still visibly angry, but not as much as before as the hurricane above Genbu started to subside.

"What the fuck is going on?" Sirzechs asked as he, Grayfia, Azazel, and Michael dropped the barrier.

He was smacked outside the head by his wife for his language.

"Well, Naruto fought those magicians with sand, then fought Katerea who got a sudden power boost." Azazel started as he scratched his chin. "Then Vali used his new addition to his sacred gear to kill Naruto."

Azazel was smacked by Michael.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Azazel asked as he glared angrily at his brother.

Michael, for the first time, was not smiling.

He has a look of irritation on his face while he casually pointed at Gabriel, who was glaring daggers at her brother Azazel while she was trying to calm Irina down.

Rias watched this on the sideline with Sona and their peerage members.

"This is horrible." Rias said as she sat down next to Sona.

"No duh…" Sona replied as she watched the Uzumaki family grieve. "They just lost their patriarch…"

"Ashura isn't dead." Ophis interrupted.

"What?" Everyone said in confusion.

Ophis felt all eyes on her.

"What do you mean Naruto isn't dead?" Kuroka asked as she didn't want her feelings/emotions messed with right now.

"It's just as I said, Kuroka." Ophis said as she turned around and opened a portal to the Dimensional Gap. "I'll find him, I just need time."

Ophis turned to the Faction Heads.

"Finish your little meeting, then get the fuck off my son's island." Ophis said before she vanished.

"Oh, that is right, the meeting." Michael said in remembrance

"We did agree to the treaty, so all we have to do is sign the paperwork and then we are an official alliance." Sirzechs said as he looked up, seeing that Genbu was surfacing now, having felt Ophis leave, thus calming down enough to return to the surface.

"What are we going to do?" Basara asked Gabriel worriedly. "I mean, there is no reincarnation process, so what does that mean for us?"

Gabriel was about to answer, but fell silent.

'Wait, reincarnation…' Gabriel thought.

Flashback…

"Can I ask you something?" Gabriel asked nervously as she adjusted Naruto's sleeping body, which was haphazardly hanging off the bed.

Ophis nodded again.

"Well," Gabriel mumbled. "I want to know your connection to Naruto?"

Ophis, neutral faced, tilted her head.

"What do you mean?" Ophis said blandly. 'This Angel seems close to Ashura. I may not be a good mom, but she reminds me of Tamamo when she and Ashura were together.'

"I mean, why do you call him 'Ashura'? His name is Naruto, yet you don't call him that, is Ashura some sort of pet name?" Gabriel spouted nervously. "And then there was your story about him being your son…"

"He is my son." Ophis interrupted as she looked at Naruto softly. "My youngest son. He is the reincarnation, but he is still my son."

"Reincarnation?" Gabriel asked. "That's impossible. We Angels take great care when we purify souls to prevent reincarnation."

"That is true, of this dimension." Ophis replied. "Ashura doesn't come from this dimension."

Gabriel blinked.

"Before you ask, no, I'm not messing with you." Ophis stated with a deadpanned expression. "Ashura comes from a different dimension, I brought him here, like I said earlier. That story was true."

"This…. Is a lot to take in." Gabriel replied as she sat down, feeling light headed.

End Flashback…

"I don't know." Gabriel replied as she remembered her conversation with Ophis from so long ago, almost having forgotten about it. "We will continue living, but we will mourn appropriately."

Sirzechs, Azazel, and Michael finished signing the alliance, under Naruto's sloppy signature.

"That was insane." Saji said to Sona as he, Tsubaki, and Sona comforted Jack, who was no longer able to keep her emotions within and had broke down crying.

"I know." Sona replied as she held her Pawn, rubbing her back.

"Sona…" Jack gasped as she grabbed Sona's arm tightly.

Sona was shocked to see Jack like this.

All her life, Jack had been a cool and strong individual, who never showed weakness even in the toughest of situations.

But to see this person, who had protected her to the point of lying her life down for Sona, crying broke Sona's heart to see Jack like this.

"Please…" Jack hiccupped. "Let me stay with you…"

"I'd never leave you behind, Jack." Sona reassured her Pawn. "That is a promise."

Jack hugged Sona, crying into her shoulder loudly, causing Shirone, and Xenovia to start up as the reality sunk in enough for them to realize it wasn't an illusion, dream, or whatever.

It was true.

Naruto was gone.

"Sona…" Serafall said as she walked up to her sister. "Let's go home."

"What about Lily and Oscar?" Sona asked as she looked at her sister.

"They are with trustworthy people." Serafall said as she knelt down ran her hand through Jack's white hair, giving a small amount of comfort to the reaper.

"Okay…" Sona said as she motioned for Tsubaki and Saji to get closer as Serafall's magic circle appeared under their feet.

The small group left.

"I think it's about time for us to leave too." Michael said as he glanced at Gabriel, who was next to Irina, Xenovia, and Basara.

"Alright." Gabriel said before she looked at Basara. "I leave Mary and Joseph in your care, Basara. I need some time alone."

"Understood, Lady Gabriel." Basara replied, showing his respect to Gabriel.

"Thank you." She said as she removed herself from Irina and Xenovia, the two of them leaning into Basara, much to his embarrassment.

The Archangels left without hesitating.

"I guess I'll be going too." Azazel said hastily, feeling horrible and embarrassed that he got Naruto killed. "I am so sorry."

He vanished back to his home at the HG of the Grigori.

"It's time for us to leave as well." Sirzechs said as he looked at Grayfia and then to his sister. "What about you, Rias?"

"We will leave now." Rias said as she rounded up her peerage, but glanced at the Uzumaki family members that were present. "Zest…"

Said woman, who was currently helping Kuroka and Shirone, looked up at the young devil.

Rias bit her lip nervously.

"I… I feel like Naruto… no. He will come back." Rias said, her voice slightly unsure. "I know he will come back."

Zest simply nodded, and then returned her attention to Kuroka and Shirone.

'How the fuck am I going to tell Lucoa and Penemue?' Zest thought as she helped the children into the compound on Genbu's back, instead of taking them back to Kuoh as Rias and her brother left with the rest of the devils, leaving the Uzumaki family alone.

Kyoto, Next Day…

Lucoa and Penemue were sitting in Yasaka's compound.

"I can't believe it." Penemue said dully before she sipped some tea, trying to calm her nerves.

"I know, I can't either." Lucoa replied as she held her fellow wife's hand.

Since Naruto married Zest, Serafall, Gabriel, Lucoa, and Penemue, the women were also married to each other as well in a sense.

"Okay, sorry for the wait." Yasaka said as she entered the room, looking a little frazzled from work. "I had some stuff to finish."

"Don't worry, Yasaka." Lucoa replied as she took a cup and poured herself some tea. "We weren't waiting long."

Yasaka got settled and took a cup for herself.

"Yasaka, Naruto died." Lucoa said, not willing to lie to her stepdaughter.

Yasaka dropped her cup.

"I'm sorry." Lucoa said as she and Penemue's eyes started to well up with tears. "But Naruto was murdered from a sneak attack after exhausting himself in a fight with an enemy."

Yasaka took a sharp inhale and held her hands against the table.

"I see." Yasaka said as she shuddered. "I am not really surprised, but Ama had predicted that he would die."

This intrigued Penemue and Lucoa.

"Oh, that's right. Amaterasu's precognition powers." Lucoa remembered.

"Yeah, but I didn't expect it so soon." Yasaka said as she glanced at a photo of her family (Naruto, Kunou, Amaterasu, and herself). "I guess grandma Ophis is pissed."

"She hasn't been seen since she left yesterday, apparently." Penemue said as she wiped her eyes. "She said something about, finding Naruto."

"I don't know, they never really talked about it before." Yasaka admitted. "Papa is pretty secretive over certain things."

"Ain't that the truth." Penemue said jokingly.

Meanwhile…

Jack sat next to Sona, having finished telling her everything.

From her 'birth' to her mission to be a spy on the Satan's.

"So, all of this was a lie?" Sona asked, feeling overwhelmed by this knowledge.

"No, not all of it." Jack said nervously as she looked into Sona's eyes.

Jack reached up and removed her eyepatch, showing Sona her byakugan for the first time as she opened it to show how sincere she was.

"I never wanted to hurt you, which is why I was taken off my mission some time ago when Naruto and Serafall got together." Jack said as she took Sona's hand. "And then seeing you as a child, raising you, and then…"

Jack's pale cheeks flushed red.

"Jack?"

"I fell in love with you." Jack said, becoming a tomato.

Sona did not expect that at all.

Jack let Sona's hand go and stood up.

"I'm sorry, I said to much." Jack said as she put her skull mask over her face and pulled her hood up before she turned and ran.

"Jack…" Sona called out before Jack vanished.

Skip, one week, Genbu…

Xenovia slowly stirred a pot of tomato sauce as she and Basara prepared lunch for the massive family while a giant pot of spaghetti was boiling.

"HUNGRY!" Jiraiya yelled as he fed Damian via baby bottle.

Kushina Lily, Oscar, Joseph, and Mary were being held by Ravel, Shirone, Asia, Diego, and Irina.

Kuroka sat reading a book.

The younger children completely oblivious of their father's passing, and none of them had asked where he or their respective moms were either.

All the adults were out of the house, leaving the oldest (Kuroka) in charge.

"Is this done?" Xenovia asked as she gave Basra a clean spoon full of the tomato sauce to try.

"Hm, that's perfect." Basara said as he tried it, finding it to be delicious.

Xenovia barely responded as she turned the burner off and moved to the table to sit down.

"Xeno…" Jiraiya said as he fluttered over to the teenager and sat in her lap. "Where is dad?"

Xenovia's brown eyes cracked.

Metaphorically speaking.

Xenovia carefully picked Jiraiya up in her arms and held him close.

She didn't answer.

How could she, or any of them for that matter?

She chose to not respond and tickled him, making Jiraiya laugh.

'And then…' Xenovia thought as she looked at Irina as she held Mary, who was laughing at the funny faces Irina was making, and then Xenovia glanced at Basara, who was now cutting the garlic bread with a knife. 'There is this asshole.'

Dimensional Gap…

"Where the fuck is Ashura…" Ophis stated angrily and desperately.

She had been searching through the Dimensional Gap for over a month (Space/Time difference in the space between dimensions) and there has been no sight of Naruto or an inkling of his chakra signature.

It was seriously pissing Ophis off.

'Maybe…' Ophis thought as she decided to rest a bit. 'God, I don't want to see that asshole.'

She opened a portal and entered it.

"Papa!" A young red dragon the size of an elephant chirped as they fluttered on their flimsy wings called out. "LOOK I'M FLYING!"

"Oh, that is amazing, Kera." Great Red said as he watched his child learning how to fly. "I am so proud of you… oh, when did you get here, shrimp?"

Ophis was almost microscopic to the naked eye.

"Papa, who's this?" Kera asked as she landed on her dad's head.

"She is an old friend, Kera." Great Red said in amusement as Ophis grew increasingly pissed off. "Kera, why don't you go show mommy that you can fly now?"

"SURE!" Kera shouted happily as she took off, haphazardly flying to her mom, who was off hunting.

"Never took you for a father type." Ophis said through clenched teeth.

"Never took you for the mother type." Great Red responded sarcastically. "Now what do you want, bitch?"

Ophis wanted to hit him.

Even after all these years, Ophis still hated Great Red, and vice versa.

"Ashura died." Ophis told the dragon.

"WHAT?" Great Red shouted in surprise.

"But I am able to speed up the time it takes for him to regenerate and reform in the Gap." Ophis continued. "However, I am unable to find my son, so I have no choice but to ask… to ask your… I need you he…"

"To prideful to admit you need help?" Great Red teased.

"HELP ME FIND MY BABY BOY OR SO HELP ME I'LL KILL YOUR KID!" Ophis shouted as her power burst around her, showing she wasn't in the mood for jokes.

Great Red stood up and flared his own power.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on my family!" he growled as his power and Ophis's power collided once again after so long.

Winds whipped up and tore down trees and the ground under them started to rot and decay.

After several minutes, both waiting for the other to give reason for an attack, they retracted their power.

"If you need my help, then I will gladly give it." Great Red stated as he started at Ophis. "But only because I consider Naruto to be a good friend, which you are not."

Ophis didn't say anything.

Great Red turned and saw his wife and daughter, Hira and Kera.

"I'll be going somewhere. I don't know when I'll be back." Great Red said to them, affectionately nuzzling Hira and then petting Kera.

"Be safe, Papa!" Kera called out as she waved her dad off.

Great Red and Ophis started their combined search for Naruto.

They searched every nook and cranny of the Dimensional Gap, and even after what felt like several months, they came up empty handed.

"Ophis, maybe…"

"Shut up." Ophis said. "Ashura is out there, reforming as we speak, we have to keep looking."

"I agree, but I feel like we are looking in the wrong place." Great Red said, having a sneaking suspicion he was correct.

Ophis looked at him.

"And where do you think Ashura is?" Ophis asked sarcastically.

"Hm, I'll just send you there." He said, not happy at Ophis's attitude.

A portal opened up and Ophis glanced at her enemy.

"You expect me to believe this won't kill me?" Ophis questioned.

"If I wanted you dead, I wouldn't have been helping you find Naruto, now would I?" Great Red asked back.

Ophis stepped through, not answering him.

The portal closed and Ophis closed her eyes.

It was very bright.

As he eyes adjusted, Ophis noticed something… unique.

Everything was shrouded in a light white/pink fog. It was transparent, but it hung in the air.

It was grasslands, and off in the distance were forests, mountains, rivers, lakes, and all sorts of things one finds in nature.

There were animals too, but they were strange as well.

They had the same white/pink transparent look to them.

'They are spirits.' Ophis thought as she took notice of a small wavy spirit tail on their heads. 'Why would Ashura be here?'

Ophis started her search.

She passed by many animals, but what was stranger about them, was the fact they had no 'presence' to them, nor did they seem to notice her at all.

There were no signals of sentient life that Ophis could feel.

"Oh, you finally arrived, Ophis."

Ophis turned around, her snakes ready to attack before she stopped dead in her tracks.

"Impossible…" Ophis said as she saw who stood before her.

"It's nice to finally meet you, isn't that right, Minato?" Tamamo asked her son, whose big blue eyes looked at his grandmother.

Chapter 50, DONE!

…

…

…

…

From the silence, I can see you guys are either okay with this chapter or so fucking furious you are plotting my murder.

Yes, Vali wasn't Vali, it was a White Zetsu. Now, Vali WILL die, just not know. I have a plan.

Deal with it.

Besides that, I struggled with this chapter, so it is short, but the only part that I am most proud of is the ending with Ophis and her interactions with Great Red, who is a married dragon with a child.

And for Gabriel's flashback, it's from chapter 15 of this story if you are so curious.

Leave your reviews in the review segment, I don't mind if they are upset.

Also…

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!
