"ACE!",Ginji shouted in complete sorrow and rage. Ace grunted as his knees began to buckle then Tyrakin said,"I actually wasn't going to kill you Outlaw, however I can't change the decisions of a moron such as yourself."

Tyrakin then took his sword out of Ace's chest and Ace fell to his side next to Justice's gun. Ginji moved over to Ace's body and he said in a sob,"Ace, Ace."

"He's not getting up anytime soon musuko. All you're doing is talking to a corpse. Maybe you need to see some more, Mayunka.",Tyrakin said. Mayunka nodded then he put Bailey down before raising his fist. Vakreen charged at Mayunka and shot a torrent of fire towards him, hitting the monster in the head.

Ginji began to only hear his own heartbeat as he looked at Ace's dead body then he let out a deathly roar, Ginji's back convulsed as six burning red wings ripped out from his back and engulfed him in flame. Raging over him and twisting his form, the flames soon dissipated leaving the once normal boy Ginji, who now stood hunched over with his wings taking the likeness of a cloak, his skin now as pale and eroded as dusty old bones and his hair the same burning red color as his wings.

"G-Ginji...?",Bailey muttered under the shadow of the boy she once knew.

Ginji growled, lunging his neck forward to reveal his one red, sunken in eye, the white of which was now as black as obsidian. The other of which was covered by a deep blue eye patch, the same color as the feathers that now covered his chest and legs. Gritting his teeth together, he bared his burning red claws at Tyrakin which protruded from arm guards of the same color.

Tyrakin smirked then said,"Finally, you've unleashed your true self musuko."

Ginji only scowled at Tyrakin then he summoned a sword that had a black hilt and a blue blade with a circular red jewel in the center near the hilt before saying,"I'm not your son. YOU BASTARD!"

Ginji then rushed at Tyrakin and slashed at him with his sword. Tyrakin blocked the slash with his own blade, causing the two to make a crater in the ground. Tyrakin smirked then said,"That's what I've wanted. Don't hold anything back, musuko!" with evil joy.

Ginji let a rage filled yell as he slashed at Tyrakin once more, Tyrakin using his sword to block the slashes. Tyrakin slashed at Ginji, but Ginji flipped over Tyrakin while still slashing at the man. Tyrakin spun around and attempted to punch Ginji, but his punch was caught by the boy and he was kicked in the face, sending Tyrakin back towards the street. Ginji rushed towards Tyrakin at an untraceable speed then he tried to slash Tyrakin, but the man blocked it effortlessly. Tyrakin then kneed Ginji in his stomach before tossing him into an oncoming eighteen wheeler. Ginji regained his footing then he took the driver out of the eighteen wheelers cab before slamming the entire truck onto Tyrakin. Tyrakin jumped through the truck's trailer then he saw Ginji charging at him and he made a giant fist of shadows hit Ginji through a nearby building then he rode a wave of shadows towards Ginji.

Ginji sprouted his wings, causing burning red and deep blue flames to erupt from him, before he flew towards Tyrakin and the two clashed blades. Ginji flew around Tyrakin, constantly darting at the older man and slashing at him. Tyrakin slashed at Ginji each time the boy was close enough to him then he sent shadows at Ginji, who cut each of them down. Ginji then sent a torrent of burning red and deep blue flames at the wave of shadows Tyrakin was riding on, causing them to break and Tyrakin to go crashing into the street. Tyra tumbled on the ground but quickly managed to get to his feet before he caught a charging Ginji, then slammed him into the street. Ginji gritted his teeth then roared then he breathed burning red and deep blue flames at Tyrakin, hitting him in the face and chest. Tyrakin moved back, barely being hurt by the flames, then he was punched in the face three times then spin kicked in the gut. Tyrakin smirked then he elbowed Ginji in the side of the head before uppercutting the boy in the chin. He then grabbed Ginji by his leg and slammed him into the ground three times as hard as he could. Ginji slashed Tyrakin across the chest then launched off of him before tackling him and sending the both of them through several buildings.

Back at the crater, Bailey and Vakreen stood over Ace's body as Kris, Spade, and Denji came up to it. Kris knelt down to her husband's body and began crying as she hugged it close. Spade held back tears along with Bailey. Kris then looked up and said,"Where's Ginji?" while still sobbing.

"He's fighting Tyrakin. He's turned into a full Novis and they're destroying the city with their battle.",Vakreen said in a solemn tone. Denji stayed silent then she looked down at Justice's gun to see that it was slowly moving towards Ace's hand. She gained a confused expression then she also noticed that Vakreen had a silver glow coming from his back.

"Vakreen, why is there a glow coming from behind you?",Denji asked. Vakreen looked at Denji with confusion then he realized something and reach behind him and took out the silver pistol Justice gave him to see that it was shining silver. He then remembered what Justice told him and he put the silver pistol in Ace's right hand just as Justice's revolver made it to Ace's left hand. A blinding flash of light emitted from both pistols then it died down just as fast as it appeared. Kris, Spade, Vakreen, and Denji gained confused expressions then they went away when suddenly, Ace shot up while gasping loudly then he began coughing and groaning,"Blimey, being dead is not a smashing experience."

Ace then looked around him and said,"I'm just going to assume you all are mad and chuffed to see me alive."

"Babyyy!",Kris shouted joyfully while hugging Ace and planting many kisses onto his cheek and lips. Ace huffed Kris back then he kissed her passionately on her lips before pulling away and saying,"Ooh, I think I could get used to this."

"Brudda, how you's alive?",Spade said while putting her hand on her hip. Ace looked at his sister then said,"I'm gonna have to explain that later Spade. Right now I need to get to Ginji, where is he actually?"

An explosion could be seen from further in the city and Denji said,"I believe Bandit is that way."

"Oh great. Okay let's see if this thing will actually come.",Ace said while walking up from the group and holding out his hand. Kris raised an eyebrow then said,"If what will come?"

Suddenly, a mechanical silver and black horse appeared from a cloud of silver, bronze, gold, and black energy and stood in front of Ace. Ace smirked then said,"Brilliant." as he got onto the horse. Ace then looked at Kris and others before saying,"I'll be back in a bit. Deal with Mayunka please."

Ace then rode the mechanical horse as it darted into the city at a break neck speed. Kris and the others gained confused expressions then Vakreen turned to Mayunka and said,"Oh right I forgot about you."

"Wait Vakreen.",Denji said as she and the others turned to Mayunka. She then looked at Mayunka and saw that he was hurting through his eyes and she said in a compassionate tone,"Don't let him suffer any longer."

Vakreen nodded while Spade said,"I'll help him too baby momma." to Denji in a caring tone. Denji looked at Spade then planted a quick kiss to her lips before saying,"Thank you Spade."

Spade nodded then she put her buckle on her waist while saying,"C'mon V, we gots to help my baby momma's friend. Henshin." and changing into Valiant. Vakreen and Valiant then charged at Mayunka, ready to kill him.

Back with Ginji, he and Tyrakin clashed blades then tried to overpower each other. Tyrakin chuckled insanely then said,"That's right musuko. Give into your anger and your hatred. Let out the true Novis within you."

Ginji gritted his teeth then he kicked off of Tyrakin and landed a few feet away from him. Ginji then let out an angered sigh before he said,"It's been so easy to do that, but it isn't what Ace would want me to do."

Tyrakin raised an eyebrow as Ginji continued,"Ace would want me to beat you but not for revenge or even to settle a score. He'd want me to beat you because you're an evil that will never change and because it's my duty to beat you as Bandit. No, it's my duty as Ginji Wilder."

"Wilder? But your name is Ikeda, at least it's the last name your mother had me choose in order to blend in.",Tyrakin said while putting his sword on his shoulder.

"No my name's Wilder, because my parents are Ace and Kris Wilder. You're just the sperm donor I can't stand.",Ginji said in a determined and calmly angered tone. Tyrakin became enraged by what Ginji had said then he sent many shadows towards Ginji. Ginji slashed all of the shadows down then he fired a torrent of burning red and deep blue flames at Tyrakin, who charged through the flames and punched Ginji in the face. Tyrakin punched Ginji five more times then grabbed him by his throat and slammed him into the ground. Ginji gagged and grunted as he was strangled by Tyrakin. Tyrakin grinned evilly then said,"You know, if you I thought I could make you better than your brother or your mother, but instead you decide to live like them and be human. Since that's your choice, you can share the same fate as Outlaw."

Ginji gagged then he punched Tyrakin in the stomach four times, causing the monstrous man to grunt in pain but never let up on choking the boy. Ginji's eye began to close as he slowly lost more and more air. Tyrakin then got off of Ginji as he was shot in the shoulder. Ginji gasped for air then he looked back and gained a surprised expression as he saw Ace on his horse riding towards him and Tyrakin aiming the silver pistol he had acquired. The mechanical horse Ace was riding then rammed into Tyrakin, causing the monstrous man to fly back and crash into the road. Ace stopped the horse then got off of it and the horse disappeared as Ace helped Ginji to his feet and said,"How ya doin mate?"

"Ace, how?",Ginji asked with a joyful smile on his face. Ace put his hand up then said,"I'll explain after we beat your psycho dad."

"Ace, he's not my dad. You are.",Ginji said with sincerity. Ace looked at Ginji and smiled warmly before he and Ginji hugged each other happily. The two pulled away from one another then Ace said,"I'm so proud of you Ginji."

Tyrakin stood up then said,"How are you alive?!" to Ace in anger.

Ace gained a serious and angered scowl before he turned to Tyrakin and said,"You don't need to know that. What you do need to know is that I'm going to kick your arse for A) killing me, B) being a thorn in my side for far too long, and most importantly C) you hurt my family. So, let's skip the formalities and just get to me kicking your arse."

Ace then put his driver on his waist before he said,"Henshin." and many silver, gold, bronze, and black energy stars appeared around Ace before colliding with him and forming into new armor.

(Author's note: Okay, I'd try and describe this armor but it's better to just direct you to my deviantart where a photo of the form is. My deviantart is IAmSkullKid. Anyway back to the story.)

"OUTLAW STAR!",the driver announced as Outlaw stood proudly. Ginji smirked then said,"Huh, wonder when Kris began working on this form."

l

"Uh she didn't, got this while dead. Now let's beat this guy.",Outlaw said to Ginji while taking out his pistols, the silver four barreled pistol being in his right hand while Justice's revolver was in his left. Ginji nodded then readied his sword while saying,"I'm down for that Ace."

{Theme for fight: Believe by Beartooth}

Outlaw and Ginji rushed at Tyrakin, who roared then charged at the two. Tyrakin slashed at Outlaw, who effortlessly jumped over the slash and shot Tyrakin in the back twice, causing the man to stumble forward. Ginji slashed Tyrakin twice then he blocked a kick, still flying several feet away, before cutting down several shadows that were thrown at him. Outlaw kicked Tyrakin in the face then he dodged several slashes before firing three shots into Tyrakin's torso, causing Tyrakin to stumble back and groan. Outlaw chuckled then jumped up and delivered five powerful kicks to Tyrakin's face before he landed and sidestepped to avoid Ginji, as he darted at Tyrakin and punched the man directly in the chin. Tyrakin stumbled back then roared and made a platoon of Vadi and Waspimklu appear around Outlaw and Ginji. Outlaw and Ginji stood back to back then Outlaw asked,"Since when could he do this?"

"About a few minutes before you arrived at my school.",Ginji pointed out. Outlaw nodded then he put the cylinders of each of his guns on one another before he moved both guns away from each other, causing the cycling era to spin then stop and announce in a voice reminiscent of Spade's,"VALIANT STAR!"

Several violet energy pirate ships appeared above Outlaw and Ginji that then began fitting upon the many Vadi and Waspimklu while Ginji looked on in amazement. Outlaw shot several Vadi and Waspimklu then, once the ships disappeared and more Vadi and Waspimklu appeared, he put his guns together before sliding them apart. The cylinders of the guns spun around then stopped and the guns announced in a voice reminiscent of Ginji's,"BANDIT STAR!"

Outlaw then began shooting his guns and the shots were now like the ones that came from Bandit's pistol, blowing many Vadi and Waspimklu away. Ginji revealed his wings and flew through the army of Vadi and Waspimklu, cutting most of them down then he set himself on fire before he charged through the crowd, destroying each Vadi and Waspimklu he went past.

Once the army of Vadi and Waspimklu were destroyed, Outlaw and Ginji stood side by side and they shot at Tyrakin, hitting him all over. Tyrakin stumbled back then roared before rushing at the two and slashing at each of them wildly. Outlaw blocked a slash by kicking the sword Tyrakin wieded then Outlaw said,"Ginji, how is he still going after all the punishment we've given him?"

Ginji shrugged while blocking three slashes from Tyrakin, he then noticed that in the center of Tyrakin's tasset was the same crystal that was in Rei's chest. Ginji then punched Tyrakin several times then he looked at Outlaw and said,"Ace, he has the same crystal Rei had in the middle of his chest armor. Maybe if we destroy it, he'll die."

"Eh worth a shot.",Outlaw said before narrowly dodging a slash. Outlaw and Ginji jumped back from Tyrakin then Ginji ignited his sword with burning red and deep blue flames then he charged at Tyrakin and stabbed the monstrous man in the crystal on his tasset, causing it to crack. Ginji then flew into the air as Outlaw Aimee his guns at Tyrakin as the guns announced,"JUSTICE STAR!"

Ace then fired five black and red surging energy bursts, four coming from his four barreled pistol, at Ginji's sword. The bursts hit Ginji's sword, causing the sword to be driven further into the crystal, cracking it further.

"Damn that crystal is bloody tough. Guess I gotta use this then.",Outlaw said before he put away his pistols and pressed the star on his driver five times, causing it to announce in the normal driver voice,"FINAL STAR!"

Silver, bronze, gold, and black energy gathered and surged around Outlaw's right leg as he charged at Tyrakin. Outlaw then jumped up and came down towards Tyrakin with a flying side kick. Ginji flew behind Outlaw then used his burning red and deep blue flames to propel Outlaw forward while he shouted,"Go get him Ace!"

"CLIMACTIC HIGHNOON BREAKDOWN!",The driver announced as Outlaw's kick connected with Ginji's sword, sending both him and the sword through Tyrakin. Outlaw slid a few feet behind Tyrakin and Ginji's sword stabbed into the ground in front of him. Tyrakin stumbled back and said,"Outlaw, you've turned my son into a great warrior."

"No I didn't, I just guided him.",Outlaw said. Tyrakin chuckled then he exploded while shouting in pain.

{Theme ends}

Outlaw sighed in relief then he stood up as Ginji landed next to him. The two looked at one another then they chuckled lightly while hugging each other. The two pulled away from one another then Ginji asked,"Okay so, mind explaining how you're alive and how you got such a sick looking form?!"

"Well both have the same answer. That answer being your mom.",Outlaw said in a wise tone. Ginji's eye widened, then Outlaw said,"Yeah. She came to me just as I was about to go up to see God and said that she couldn't let me die before I saw you become the man you're destined to be. Plus she commended me for molding you into, in her own words, not being Tyrakin."

"Wow, I'd say that I don't believe you but considering I've seen some freaky things these past few months, I believe you.",Ginji said while putting his hand on the back of his neck. Outlaw then put his hand on Ginji's shoulder and said,"She also wanted me to tell you that she's proud of you and that she loves you so much." in a sincere voice. Ginji smiled then he said,"Ah c'mon man, don't make me cry."

"Hey, it's okay to cry.",Outlaw said casually. Ginji chuckled then he said,"Yeah, guess it is."

Outlaw chuckled lightly then he said,"So six wings that make a cloak?"

"Yeah, I don't know why it happened either.",Ginji said while motioning to his attire. Outlaw nodded then said,"Well, looks good on you mate. Now let's go to Kris and the others. I got some explaining to do to them and they need to see that you're okay."

Ginji nodded then he said,"Mind if we get some food on the way? I'm starved."

"That we can agree on.",Outlaw said. Outlaw and Ginji then began walking down the road with them both going back into their civilian forms. Ace looked at Ginji and smiled then the two threw their arms over each other's shoulders as they walked.

At Ace and Kris' condo, Ginji and Ace were watching tv together while eating pizza then they both looked to the door when Kris came in and said in a concerned yet fierce voice,"WHERE'S MY BABY BOY?!"

"I'm right here Kris.",GInji said casually while waving. Kris ran over to the couch and hugged Ginji tightly, causing Ginji to gag and say,"Kris… can't breathe."

Kris let go of Ginji then she sat in between Ace and Ginji before saying in a relieved sigh,"I'm so happy both my guys are okay."

"Aw, I love you too babe.",Ace said before planting a loving kiss on Kris' cheek. Ginji simply hugged Kris then said,"Love you too Kris."

Bailey, Spade, Denji, and Vakreen walked into the condo and Bailey immediately ran over to Ginji, who stood up. Bailey hugged Ginji tightly and he grunted while straining to say,"Bailey… crushing… my ribs. Let go please."

Bailey let go of Ginji and he took in a deep breath before saying,"Thank you."

Bailey then punched Ginji in his stomach before kissing him passionately. Ginji and Bailey began making out then Denji said,"Is that something they do often?"

"Yeah.",Ace, Kris, and Vakreen said in unison.

"I'm hoping we can do things like that often baby momma.",Spade said seductively while looking at Denji and biting her lip. Denji pulled Spade close then spanked her while saying in a seductive yet commanding tone,"Behave Spade." causing Spade to giggle in excitement.

Vakreen nodded then he said,"Okay, I'm ecstatic about the outcome of events but I do believe we need to address the elephant in the room."

Everyone looked at Ace and he said,"What?"

"Brudda, you's got to tell us how you're not dead right now.",Spade said while putting her arms around Denji's neck. Ace nodded then he stood up and walked to the back of the room before saying,"Well it's a bit hard to explain without me sounding like I'm completely knackered."

"Considering that you were resurrected from the dead, I believe we will be able to handle it.",Vakreen said. Ace sighed then said,"Okay then, but don't say I didn't warn you. The reason I'm not dead lies in two people we all know and possibly interacted with at some point; those people being Justice and Ginji's mother, Zuktaren"

Flashback

In a white void, Ace opened his eyes then sat up and looked around before saying,"Where in the bleeding hell am I?"

Ace then stood up and said,"I'd say it's heaven but I don't see any golden gates or angels."

"Greeting Ace Wilder.",Ace heard a feminine voice say from behind him. Ace turned around to see an Asian woman with long black hair that wore all white clothing standing behind him. Ace raised an eyebrow then said,"Who are you?"

"I am Zuktaren. You know my son's, Vakreen and Ginji.",Zuktaren said in a wise tone. Ace's eyes widened then he said,"You're Ginji's mother? If you're here then that means, I am dead."

Ace put his hands on his hips then said,"Damn, guess I couldn't see Ginji grow up like I wanted."

"You will Ace, it is not your time to die.",Zuktaren said while putting a hand on Ace's shoulder. Ace looked Zuktaren in her eyes and asked,"It isn't but I died. I don't believe I can come back from that."

"Usually no, but in certain cases you can. Such as, when you're integral to the destiny of my son.",Zuktaren said with a smile. Ace was overcome with happiness then he gained a questioning gaze while asking,"Wait ma'am, why are you going through so much to keep me alive? I mean even if I'm integral to Ginji's destiny, I've taught him all I can."

Zuktaren let out an amused chuckle then she walked past Ace while saying,"You've taught him all you can about fighting and being a hero, but you have so much more to teach him as a man. See you and your wife, Kris, have done something for Ginji neither Jun nor Tyrakin could. You both have made him realize that even through tough times, you can rely on others to help. You've both also given him the family and love that he could never have received, even if I was alive."

Ace turned to Zuktaren as she turned to him. The two looked at each other with caring gazes then Ace said,"You made a great kid Ms Zuktaren."

Zuktaren had a small smile appear on her face then she said,"Thank you Mr Wilder, but I can't take credit for all of it. Because it is you and your wife who're making Ginji into a great man."

Ace smiled then he said,"Thank you."

Zuktaren nodded then she said,"Now you must go and help Ginji defeat Tyrakin with the weapons given to you by myself and Justice."

Ace raised an eyebrow then his four barreled pistol and Justice's revolver appeared in his hands and he gained a determined expression on his face. Ace then turned on his heel while Zuktaren said,"And Mr Wilder, please tell Ginji that I'm proud of him and that I love him so much."

"I will gladly do that.",Ace said before he began running towards a blinding light.

Present

Everyone had caring expressions as Ace concluded then Ace said,"That's how it happened. Sadly she could get rid of the scar that's now on my chest."

"Eh, I think it gives you character and makes you even hotter.",Kris said while walking over to Ace and standing beside him. Ginji walked over to Ace and Kris then said,"Thank you guys for everything."

"It was no problem Ginji.",Ace said sincerely. Ace, Kris, and Ginji then hugged each other tightly while Ginji silently said,"Kāsan, arigatōgozaimasu. Ore wa kazoku o mitsukemashita, soshite ore wa anata o hokori ni shite ikimasu."

"Anata ga suru koto o shitte iru, Ginji.",Zuktaren said in a caring tone inside Ginji's mind. Ginji's eyes widened in surprise then he looked up to see Zuktaren standing near the wall with a loving smile on her face. Ginji smiled warmly at Zuktaren, even as she disappeared from where she stood.

Ginji then pulled away from Ace and Kris then he said,"Well since everything is over, for the most part. I just wanna say that I'm sorry Kris."

"Sorry? Why are you sorry?",Kris questioned. Ginji then took out his destroyed driver while saying,"Well before my Novis powers activated, Tyrakin destroyed my driver. This is all that I could find of it in the crater."

Kris stayed silent then she shouted in surprise. She took the destroyed driver and said,"He destroyed one of my masterpieces! HE DESTROYED ONE OF MY MASTERPIECES!" in anger.

Ginji backed away from Kris then Bailey said,"Hey at least you didn't see him crush it. I worked hard on putting that Noir form in there and now look at it." with genuine anger in her voice. Ginji looked at Bailey then said,"Oh no, you're becoming like her with stuff."

"Yeah. I need to be like that considering how reckless you are when fighting. I mean would it have killed you to at least have tried and stopped him from BREAKING YOUR DAMN DRIVER!",Bailey said with frustration while moving closer to Ginji. Ace and Ginji looked at one another and grimaced while Kris said with joy,"Oh, she's learning. I'm so proud."

Vakreen chuckled while Spade joyfully said,"I think we all need to celebrate. Let me go get my brew."

"Nu-uh, you're not allowed to drink that as much as you have been.",Denji said while pulling Spade closer. Spade looked at Denji then whined,"Why not?"

"Because you shouldn't be drunk every hour of everyday, plus I need you coherent enough to teach me more about human customs.",Denji said. Spade thought about it then said,"Uh Huh, that makes sense."

"Thank you, now be a good girl and kiss me.",Denji said in a loving yet commanding tone. Spade happily squealed before kissing Denji and putting her arms around her neck. Ace saw this then said,"You two finally got together."

"That's right brudda. Denji is now my baby momma and I'm her pet.",Spade happily said with a joyful smile while hugging Denji's head into her breasts. Denji looked at Ace then said,"It's only been a day since we officially became a couple so I'm still training my pet here, so sadly we must leave the festivities."

Denji then took Spade by the hand and walked towards the door, being given the keys to her and Vakreen's apartment by Vakreen. Spade looked at everyone and said,"Bye guys!" as she and Denji left. Vakreen smirked then said,"I must also leave. Have to be the leader of the Novis."

"See you later Vakreen.",Ginji said with a smile.

"Goodbye little brother.",Vakreen said before he left the condo. Kris, Ace, Ginji, and Bailey looked at each other then Kris said,"So what do you guys want to do?"

"Well I'd like to take a vacation. I think we've earned one.",Ace suggested. Kris nodded then said,"Oh honey, I am always down to go vacationing with you. Especially if it involves us being on a beach in our swimsuits."

"Well we usually don't keep our swimsuits on for long.",Ace said in a seductive manner while leaning down to kiss Kris. Ginji became uncomfortable and he said,"Okay, okay no. Parents being lovey dovey is a no."

"Oh come on, you've seen them do this hundreds of times.",Bailey said.

"Yeah, and I still feel like a third wheel sometimes.",Ginji said. Bailey thought about it then said,"Yeah point taken. Let's go."

Bailey and Ginji then left the condo together. Kris and Ace chuckled then they sat on the couch together and cuddled. Kris sighed in relief then she said,"I don't know if I ever told you this but, I'm glad you saved Ginji that day."

"You haven't but don't worry luv. I'm glad I saved him too, because he's made our lives so much better.",Ace said with sincerity.

"He has. Who would've thought that I'd we'd be parents now.",Kris said.

"Not me.",Ace said. The couple smiled then kissed each other before cuddling and flipping the channels.
