The Dragon Slave

"Kill them all. Don't let a single one live" Murphy said laughing. "Let the dark power become your new master. Tyrant was strong, but you are stronger Ultimus."

I gave a yell as I drove my sword into Crystal's heart as his body went limp into mine.

"You...tra...itor. How...could...you?"

I didn't answer him as I pulled my sword from his body, his blood spraying on my face. I killed them all with my bare hands, Theft, Venom, Tiger, Greywolf, Crystal, Annabelle, Chris, my parents, and Jenna. Only Tasha remained as I walked up to her, my eyes dark and lifeless.

"There's only one left. Kill her and then this world will be our playground."

"Ultimus, why did you give in?" she said with tears in her eyes.

Blood dripped down the sword I held in my hands as I stopped inches from her. She didn't even react as I drove the sword into her body, but just looked into my eyes. I pulled it out as blood splattered on the floor in thick globs. She whined silently in pain and fell to the floor. I got on top of her, raising the sword over my head ready to finish her off.

"Finish her. Satisfy the evil power by killing her."

"Please....Ultimus. Don't....listen....to....her."

I still had my sword raised, shaking heavily. I didn't want to do it but, the power coursing through my body felt so good. I had to have more, I needed to have more.

"I....got to have this power. It....feels too good to let go. I...HAVE....TO...HAVE...IT" I yelled.

I gripped the handle tightly with both hands and slammed the sword into her chest. She whined as her eyes closed and breathing stop. I let out a yell as tremendous power gathered around me. It found its way into my body, making me feel pain beyond anything I could imagine. I gave another yell, this time waking up. Sweat ran my body as my yell woke Tasha up.

"Ultimus, what's wrong" she said looking at me as I was shaking and breathing heavily.

I held my head as I heard Tyrant laughing.

"Now that's my kind of dream" he said laughing.

"Shut up, shut up" I yelled.

"It seems Murphy has found herself a new host. You felt that evil power flowing through your body. It felt good, yes?"

I didn't answer him because deep down, yeah it felt good. All that power, in the palm of my hand to do what ever I wanted to.

"Ultimus are you okay? You haven't been sleeping well the past couple of days" Tasha said rubbing my back.

"I'm fine" I said getting up.

Grabbing some clothes, I started to get dress.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"For a walk. I need to clear my head."

"Want me to come with you?"

I shook my head no as I walked out the door. The sun rise could be seen in the distance as the air was cool but not chilly. The morning fog was thicker then normal covering the forest as I started walking towards it. Tasha looked on from the window as I disappeared into the fog.

"You wanted to see me my Lord?" Nappa said on one knee.

"Yes" Thanos said looking at him. "I think we should get rid of that boy once and for all."

Nappa looked up at Thanos in somewhat surprise.

"You were right all along Nappa. I should've listened to you."

"My lord?"

"He is becoming a threat. I don't want the same thing to happen with him like it did with Ramza."

"What do you suggest my Lord?"

Thanos held his hand out as a black hole appeared in front of Nappa.

"Reach inside" Thanos said with a smile.

Nappa reached inside and pulled out a pair of mystical gauntlets.

"What are these, my lord?"

"A little gift I picked up from Castle Oztroja. They give the wearer an unlimited source of power."

"I don't know what to say my Lord."

"You wanted to get rid of that boy, well now's your chance."

"Thank my Lord, I will not fail you. I will get rid of him once and for all."

Nappa bowed again before turning to leave. Zalbag watched as he left before looking at Thanos.

"Are you sure about this my Lord?"

"He has out grown his usefulness to me. I put up with his arrogance long enough. Now he must pay the penalty, which is death."

"I understand my Lord?"

Nappa stood outside the throne room looking at the gauntlets. They were metallic black and hummed with an unforeseen power. Slowly, he placed a hand into each one. Pure energy raced through his body making him shiver.

"Amazing. Such magnificent power I feel from these gauntlets."

He made a fist as his hand glowed with energy.

"Now to take care of you once and for all. Get ready boy, today is the day I will satisfy my hunger to kill you."

He laughed madly as his body got covered with a red aura of power and disappeared in a ball of flames.

"Wow, this is the best meal I had in a long time" Skorp said eating away.

"Thank you. Please, eat as much as you want" my mom said smiling.

"I can see why Tiger and Greywolf are in such good shape."

Everybody started laughing as Tasha walked in and sat down. She seemed very distant as she stared into space.

"Tasha, what's wrong?" Jenna asked.

"It's Ultimus. He wakes up every night from a bad dream sweating and shaking. Then he goes out at the crack of dawn for what he calls a walk. I wish I knew what was wrong."

Skorp stopped eating and looked at her.

"Tasha, I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to answer me truthfully."

"Okay."

"Would you kill Ultimus?"

"NO, of course not" she said shaking her head.

"Even if the Ultimus you knew ceased to exist? Even if the Ultimus you see before you is hell bent on nothing but your destruction?"

"I will not kill him."

"I see" he said with a smile.

"You know what's happening to him don't you?"

"In a way I do."

"Tell me what I can do to help him?"

"You can't help him with what he's going through."

"What do you mean?"

Skorp took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Murphy's dark influence is starting to affect him mentally and spiritually."

"Who is this Murphy?" my mom asked.

"It's kind of hard to explain. I would have to tell you a whole boring story. But in short, she's a powerful evil spirit called on by Tyrant."

"How do you get rid of her?" Venom asked.

"The only way to do that is to remove Tyrant from his imprisonment in the Light stone."

"How do we do that?" Xellos asked.

"Using the Soul stone and extracting him is the only way."

"That sounds easy enough" Crystal said.

"But doing this comes with a heavy price."

"What kind of price?" Tiger asked.

"By removing Tyrant, you may remove part of Ultimus's memory. Meaning he'll probably won't remember who any of us are. This was an old ritual used by Lord Soa for taking out spirits that possessed people. But he found out about the setbacks and didn't use it anymore. Too many good people lost their memories due to this. It is a very risky thing to do."

Everybody went quiet for a while.

"What will happen if he's not removed?" Tasha asked.

"Murphy will eventually take control over Ultimus's body and Thanos will extract Tyrant from the stone. Once that happens, nobody will be able to stop them. The world will be destroyed along with the galaxy."

Silence was heard once again as I walked in.

"Why the long faces?" I said with a smile.

I looked at everybody one by one stopping at Tasha who just held the saddest expression I ever seen on her. I walked over and knelt down by the chair she was sitting on rubbing her leg.

"What's wrong cutey?"

"I......" was all she could say before she turned her head closing her eyes.

"I was just explaining a couple of thing about Thanos" Skorp said getting up. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah....whenever you are" I said still looking at Tasha.

I got up and kissed her forehead before standing next to Skorp.

"Sorry to be the bearer of bad news."

He held his hand up as a column of light covered us and we disappeared. We appeared behind his house as he walked around to the front.

"Wait here a sec, I need to change out of these clothes. They stink."

He ran inside as I heard various things being moving around. He came back out wearing black pants, red shirt and a baseball cap.

"Much better. All right, let's go."

We walked deeper into the forest in silence. Skorp looked at me as I had my arms crossed over my chest and my head down.

"You had a taste of the dark power she can give you huh?"

"Yeah" I said lifting my head. "Why is this happening to me? Why do I crave this power so much?"

"I guess I'll tell you since we have quite a walk in front of us. Murphy, the spirit that's trying to take over you, is an evil spirit of desires."

"So she grants the person whatever they desire?"

"Yes. She was called forth using a forbidden incantation only the dryads know."

"So how did Tyrant manage to get her?"

"I guess after we attacked and I presumed him left for dead, he called upon her with his last bit of energy. She was drawn to his desire for power and revenge like a magnet. I'm surprised he's still able to think for himself."

"Does she take over your body?"

"She has too. The host that calls for her has to give up his or her body and soul in order to get the power they want. Since dryads are such spiritually people, he somehow managed to keep his soul intact and use her power at will."

"In other words, she trying to make me see how weak I am and that I need her more then anything?"

"That would be my guess. She may also need you as a new shell if Thanos is able to extract Tyrant from the stone."

I closed my eyes recalling that dream as I plunged the sword into Tasha's heart, feeling that dark power overwhelm me.

"How long do you think I can hold myself together before I give in?"

Skorp looked at me with a smile.

"You've been doing a hell of a job so far. Don't count yourself out just yet."

We continued walking until we got to a small cave.

"Ah we're here" Skorp said.

The entrance was sealed with some kind of barrier which couldn't be seen but it let off a slight hum of power. Skorp placed his hand on the barrier as it disappeared with a snap. We walked inside as the only light that was given was some phosphorescence on the rocks given the cave a gloomy feel. Towards the end was a huge circular room with a platform in the middle. As we got on, it started to move and descended us deeper inside. It stopped at the bottom next to a huge stone door with no visible way of getting in unless you destroyed it. Skorp chanted some strange language as the door glowed blue, then red and slowly opened. Inside the room, a crystal ball floated above a pedestal.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Skorp said looking at me.

I nodded my head and walked up to the ball. Reaching my hands out, I lifted it slowly before a bright flash of light blinded me. I rubbed my eyes back into focus to see another dragon emitting from the ball. It was dark purple in color with yellow eyes and horns. It looked at me, then at Skorp.

"Is he the chosen one by Lord Soa?" it said in a rough voice.

"You are correct" Skorp said with a smile.

It lowered its head down closer to me making me back up a little. I felt its hot breath in my face.

"Are you ready to learn what I have to teach you?"

"I am."

"Very well."

It began to glow white and surprising me, dove right for me. I closed my eyes waiting to feel any kind of pain, but to my surprise, I didn't feel anything.

"Where is he? He's late" a voice said.

I opened my eyes to see that same little kid who I now know is Lord Soa standing next to Skorp and Luna on a cliff over looking a lush valley with a huge mountain in the background. Soon, a small wolf came running help the cliff.

"I'm sorry I'm late Lord Soa" the wolf said holding his knees out of breath. "Kirin wouldn't let me go in time."

"You keep spoiling that girl, and she's going to walk all over you" Luna said laughing.

"I can't help it. I guess you can say she has me on a short leash."

"Ha ha, its okay, you're still maturing. Now then, see that mountain in the distance" Soa said pointing to the mountain.

"Of course."

"I want you to destroy it."

"Destroy it? But how? I'm no where near strong enough to do that even with the light stone."

"Use the "Dragon Slave". That should do the job."

"The "Dragon Slave"? Lord Soa, are you sure Ramza can handle that attack?" Luna said looking at him. "I mean, he's still very young."

"Relax I have faith in him Luna. Are you ready?" Soa said looking at Ramza.

"Yes my lord, I'll try" Ramza said shaking a little.

"All right, that's what I want to hear. Now then, prepare yourself."

Ramza nodded his head and took a couple of steps forward. He raised his hands over his head and closed his eyes.

"Begin the incantation and remember, do not stop no matter what is happening around you."

Ramza took a deep breath and relaxed himself before starting the chant.

"Darkness before twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows, buried in the flow time."

The sky began to get dark as the winds picked up heavily blowing dead leaves and other objects in the air. The trees swayed heavily from the gale like winds threatening to strip them bare of leaves.

"In thy great name I pledge myself to darkness."

A ring of power surrounded Ramza as a ball of concentrated energy began to form in his hands. Lightning began clashing in the dark sky as the earth shook lightly. Skorp, Luna, and Soa looked on with amazement.

"He....he may actually do it" Skorp said shocked.

"Told you" Soa said sticking his tongue out.

"All those who stand before us shall be destroyed by the power you and I possess."

He brought his arms to his side, holding this massive ball of power. Opening his eyes, he focused on the mountain, his gold hair blowing wildly like blades of grass in the powerful winds.

"Dragon Slave"."

An intense, red beam shot from the ball pushing him back leaving trails of his drag marks in the ground. It traveled towards the mountain before disappearing from sight. The sky cleared up slowly as everybody was silent. Ramza looked at the mountain in confusing.

"Did.....I do it right?" he asked a little out of breath.

"Wait and see" Soa said with a smile.

After a few seconds, an earth shattering explosion sounded as the mountain disappeared underneath a huge dome of power that expanded quickly, destroying anything that got in its wake.

"That's one hell of a shockwave" Skorp said with a chuckle.

Soa held his hand out as a wall covered them from the shockwave. Soon the dome died down as thick smoke clouded the sky. The mountain that was once there was now replaced with a crater the size of the Grand Canyon. Ramza opened his muzzle in shock.

"Did....I do that?"

"Yep. I knew you could pull it off at your age. And thanks to you, I won 50 bucks" Soa said laughing.

"Humph, you exceeded far beyond my expectations" Skorp said. "And you cost me 50 bucks."

"Yes, you truly are a gifted person Ramza" Luna said smiling.

"Thank you" Ramza said before holding his head and going to one knee.

"What's wrong?" Luna asked walking up to him.

"I....don't...know. I feel....exhausted....for some.....reason."

"The "Dragon Slave" draws heavily on your spirit energy. The more you have, the more it drains from you" Soa said.

"What would happen if I didn't have any left?"

"Then your body would be pulled apart from the sheer power of it."

Everybody was quiet as Ramza looked at the hole.

"Did I need to know this attack now?"

"It's better for you to learn how to use it now, then use it out in the battlefield and end up killing yourself and others."

Ramza was about to speak when his stomach growled loudly causing him to blush.

"Sorry" he said rubbing his head. "I guess it did more then drain my energy."

"Ha ha, no problem. I'm getting hungry myself. Let's grab a bite to eat" Soa said.

"Okay" Ramza said wagging his tail happily.

They started down the hill when my vision was covered again by a white light. Opening my eyes, I was back in the present with the ball in my hand. It turned to stone and began to crumble apart.

"You now know how to do the "Dragon Slave". Like Soa said, be wary how you use it."

"Thanks."

"Let's get out of here."

We exited the cave back out to the forest near the entrance.

"You still look tense. Why don't you take Tasha out for a nice quiet dinner and relax yourself."

"But...."

"No buts Ultimus. The more tense and confused you are, the more Murphy's influence will affect you. I told everybody what was happening with you. Out of all the people, she was the most frightened. Its like the day you die, she would probably go with you."

I sighed and looked at the wedding band on my wrist which had her name on it.

"I don't know what I would do without her."

"You 2 have a very deep, very strong connection. Its like you 2 are one heart, but you are showing weakness, making the blood pump slowly throughout the body."

"So what do you suggest I do?"

"A half a heart can't function as good as a whole. Let her be your guide. Use her as your strength and beacon in the darkness. But in the end, whether you fall prey to Murphy's influence is entirely up to you."

I sighed and leaned up against the cave wall looking at the sky.

"I'm going to send you back now. Don't forget what I said. Forget about Thanos and everything for one day and just focus on her."

"I will and thanks for everything."

A column of light formed under me as I got transported back home. Arriving outside, I saw my mom and Chris chatting away.

"Welcome back. Are you feeling better?" my mom asked.

"Yeah, a little better but not much."

"So what are you going to do now?"

I crossed my arms and closed my eyes, thinking where to take her. It then hit me that my uncle owned the best restaurant in the city.

"Mom, Uncle John still has that restaurant right"

"Of course. That place is his lifelong dream come true."

"Cool. Do you have anything that might fit Tasha? I want to take her there."

"I think I might. I'll go have a look."

"All right. Chris, you still have some connections with the limo company right?"

"Yeah, want me to give them a call?" he asked.

"Yeah, tell them to be here in about 1 hour. I'll get ready myself."

"Will do chief" Chris said pulling out his phone.

I ran inside and went to the phone and called my uncle. He picked up as the sound of dishes and people talking in the background could be heard.

"Golden Sun where the sun never sets this is John."

"Uncle John, it's me Ultimus."

"Arn my boy how are you doing?"

"I'm doing well" I said as the sound of dishes being dropped rocked the phone.

"You idiot, you should know better then to carry that many dishes at once. Clean up this mess right this minute. Sorry about that. Now what can I do for you?"

"You have any open tables left?"

"Here, let me put you hold while I run to the office quick."

He put me on hold as cheesy elevator music was heard. With all that money he makes, you would think he could get some better music. I heard him pick up as paper was being tossed around.

"Let me see.........yeah we have about.......3 left. It's jazz night so you know how quickly they get booked."

"Okay. Can I get one by the window?"

"Will do."

"Thanks unc. I'll see you soon."

"I'll be waiting."

Okay, everything was set. Now to get ready myself as I grabbed a quick shower. Drying myself off, I put on a pair of white dress pants, white shirt, and a black silk vest. Checking the mirror to see if I was complete, I walked out and saw my mom, Chris, Tiger, and Jenna talking away.

"Well look at you" my mom said.

"Where are you going like that?" Tiger asked.

"I'm going to take Tasha to the Golden Sun restaurant."

"Golden Sun? How the hell can you afford that place?"

"I have my connections. If you want, I'll be more then happy to take Jenna one day too."

"Would you really?" Jenna said with a little joy.

"You try that and I'll rip your arms off" Tiger said with a touch of anger.

"Hey relax man, it was just a joke" I said holding up my hands in submission.

Everybody started laughing when Tasha walked into view. She had on a beautiful black dress with gold trimmings around the edges. It had no sleeves as the straps went around both shoulders. A hole was made in the back to accommodate her tail as tiny bits of glitters were sprinkled all around making her sparkle in the light. Black lace gloves covered her paws as a red rose was placed in her right ear. We were all speechless as my mom looked her over.

"I see my dress fits you nicely."

"Yes, even though I have to apologize for cutting a hole in the back for my tail."

"Don't worry about it."

If my jaw could hit the floor like it does in the cartoons, it would've. She walked up to me and smiled.

"Tasha, is.....is that......you?" I said.

"Of course silly. Who were you expecting?"

"My god.....you.......look....."

"Radiant" Tiger said.

"Beautiful" Jenna added.

"Drop dead fucking gorgeous" Chris blurted out.

"Thank you all" Tasha said blushing.

A car horn could be heard outside as Chris looked out.

"Hey dude, you're ride is here."

I couldn't tear my eyes away from her until Chris tapped my shoulder.

"Huh? Oh....right.....the ride.....um....shall we?" I said offering my arm.

"Of course" she said sliding her arm under mine making me shiver slightly as we walked out to the car.

The driver opened the door as I helped Tasha in before getting in myself. Once the door was closed, we headed into town. The Golden Sun was located by the beach front. It was the most popular place to go to with live music everyday, grade A food, and a cache of famous people, one even included the president himself. The driver stopped at the door as the valet opened the car door and I stepped out along with Tasha. Arm in arm, we walked up to the front where my uncle was waiting for us.

"Arn my boy" he said hugging me. "How the hell are you?"

"I'm doing fine unc."

He let go and looked at Tasha.

"And who is beautiful specimen?"

"This is my mate, Tasha. Tasha, this is my uncle John Franco, owner of the Golden Sun."

"Pleased to meet you" she said in a short bow.

"Oh the pleasure's mine believe me" he said kissing her paw. "When you get tired of my nephew and want a real man, let me know okay sugar?"

Tasha blushed and looked away as I grabbed my uncle by the neck.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Just making friendly conversation."

"You know, maybe dad was right about you. You still are a scumbag."

"Tell your father to suck my fat hairy one. Come you 2, I'll show you to your table."

We followed him to a table by the open window over looking the beach shore. The moon was bright in the night sky as the wind blew lightly, filling the air with a salty ocean smell. The table we sat down at had 2 candles lit with flowers between them. I held the chair out as Tasha sat down.

"I've already taken care of your order. Nothing but the best for my nephew."

"Thanks."

"Thank you Mr. Franco."

"Hey thank me later by going on a date with me."

She blushed again as I kicked my uncle in the shin causing him to limp away. My god, why can't I have a normal family like everybody else. Tasha rested her head in her hands and looked at me with a smile. I was speechless again as it was my turn to blush.

"You're adorable when you blush" she said giggling.

I shifted in my seat as my erection wanted to rip out my pants. My uncle came with the food just in time.

"Here we are, a steak well done for the misses, BBQ ribs for the sir, vintage wine from my secret stash, all on the house. Enjoy the food and music."

We began to eat as I started to laugh a little.

"What's so funny?" Tasha asked.

"I was just thinking about how we first met. Ha, some man I was, getting my ass handed to me."

"It's okay. I know back then you didn't have the training you have now."

"There's another thing that's been bothering me."

"What is it?"

"How come you choose me over Theft, Venom, Crystal and Greywolf? Surely they could be just as good as I am."

Tasha looked at me for second before looking out the window.

"To be honest, Venom scares me, Theft is too much of a computer geek, and Crystal and Greywolf are.....different."

"Different?"

"They are Bi. I heard them once making out."

"I see. So what do you see in me?"

"I see the greatest man alive. Kind, loving, gentle, strong, and very sexy too boot" she said smiling.

"Why thank you. I feel the same way about you. Here's too our happy life together" I said raising my glass.

We finished our meals with some idle chatter here and there. Soon soft music began to play. I got up and offered my hand to Tasha.

"May I have the honor?"

"You certainly may."

We mixed in with the already building crowd on the floor. Tasha wrapped her arms around my neck and rested her head under my chin and sighed happily.

"I wish time could freeze right now just like this, with you in my arms" she said.

"So do I" I said nibbling her ear slightly making her murr.

"Be honest with me, if it wasn't for the crowd of people, you would have already had me bent over a table correct?"

"What makes you say that?" I said even though it was the dead honest truth.

She slid one hand down and guided it into my pants where she grasped my raging cock lightly and gave it a small squeeze making me shudder. If she would've stroked me even just once, I would've cum right there.

"You forget about my strong sense of smell. You've been wanting to fuck me senseless since we got into the car."

"Damn your sense of smell" I said playfully.

"To tell you the truth, I was hoping you would've took me in the car. I saw the way you keep looking at me, adjusting your pants every minute."

"I would've, but would have a hard time explaining to my mom about the nice white stain in her dress. I'm not Bill Clinton."

She laughed softly as I leaned down and kissed her. Her body responded in kind as she pressed herself against me. Our tongues fighting a never ending battle against one another until we stop to catch our breath.

"What do you say we end this nice night with a walk on the beach?"

"How charming. Just add more fire to the already burning sensation in my loins" Tasha said kissing me.

We headed for the door when I saw my uncle.

"Leaving already?" he asked.

"Yeah. Thanks for everything unc."

'Thank you Mr. Horace."

"No problem. Don't be strangers and come and visit me whenever you get a chance. My door is always open for you."

"I'll remember that. See you later."

We walked down to the shore and listened to the water splash on the beach. The moon hit the dress just right as she sparkled like a diamond. Even though the smell of the ocean was strong in the air, she smiled and chuckled.

"You know, you could take me now. I know your cock could use some fresh air from those pants of yours" she murred.

"I'm trying to control myself and you're not helping" I said chuckling.

We stopped under a tree and looked out as a couple of birds flew past the moon. I wrapped my arms around her and started to kiss her neck. She moaned and wrapped her arm around my neck. I began to feel her body through the dress, making sure I hit every spot and every curve. Whining loudly, she arched her back as her tongue held out.

"Oh god, you really are turned on aren't you? I never felt you feel me up like this."

I didn't answer her as I grabbed her breasts as squeezed her already hard nipples making her shiver. She grinded her hips harder into mine growling in lust as my pants started showing a wet spot due to the amount of pre I was leaking.

"Dammit Ultimus take me, take me now" she whined.

Even I couldn't hold myself back any longer as I started to unzip my fly. Suddenly I felt this unruly feeling come over me.

"He's coming for you, boy. And this time, he playing for keeps" Tyrant said.

"Who is?"

"Nappa. And if I was you, I'd get rid of the bitch before he does."

I was going to reply when I saw a distortion in the sky. An image appeared and started too materialized.

"So I finally found you."

Tasha eyes lit up like fire and snarled.

"YOU!!!"

"Yes, me. It took a while to find you. You're a hard person to find."

"You ever try the phonebook?"

"I've grown tired of that smart mouth of yours. This time, I'm shutting it up for good."

The power I felt coming from him made me shiver. I never felt like this before.

"He's wearing the Gallant gauntlets" Tyrant said with some disgust.

"What does that mean?"

"It means you dummy, that his power is doubled if not tripled. I thought those gauntlets were lost during our raid of Castle Oztroja, but I guess Lord Thanos hid them well."

"This is just between me and him, wolf. I'll kill you later once I tear him limb from limb" Nappa said angrily.

"Like hell you will. I won't let you lay a finger on him" Tasha said erupting in power.

It pained me to do what I did next. I went behind Tasha and with a quick strike, knocked her out. I caught her before she fell and kissed her forehead.

"Please forgive me. I will come back to you, I promise" I said pressing her comm as she disappeared.

"It makes no difference where she goes. I will find her, and the others, and kill them all."

"I will not let you harm her or anyone else" I said angrily glowing with a white aura that surrounded me.

"I didn't expect you to die peacefully" Nappa said with an evil laugh. "Time to see what kind of power these gauntlets possess. Have at you boy."

It was an all out power battle as each of our blows caused a shockwave that shook the ground. We went blow for blow, power for power. He got the advantage as he grabbed my arm and spun me rapidly in place before tossing me to the ground with a bang as I slid on the ground hitting a tree.

"You know you can't beat him. Use the power Murphy's offering you. You know you want it."

"Shut up. I'm not giving my soul to anybody."

Nappa laugh as he held his arms up, the gauntlets glowing black in response as a huge ball of power, the size of the moon appeared glowing bright red.

"Try this on for size, "Omega Destroyer"."

He tossed it at me full speed as it ripped up the ground it traveled on. I held my hands out as it connected hard pushing me against the tree. I heard it groan in protest as Nappa applied more power to it. At the rate this was going, I couldn't last much longer.

"You can't take him as you are. Take the power she's offering."

"No. I rather die then give in."

"I refuse to die because of your stupidity. TAKE HER OFFERING" he yelled.

"NO" I shouted as I started to glow with a black aura as I felt her power shoot through me.

I felt that same power that I dreamt of course through my body for a few seconds. I used those few seconds as I gathered it up into my right hand. I leaned back and threw everything I had into the blow I threw. When it connected, I heard a loud crack and I knew my arm was broken. But that blow was just enough as I sent it rocketing back towards Nappa who looked shocked.

"Impossible" Nappa yelled as it exploded in the sky.

I covered my face with my good arm as the light died down. Looking up, the smoke started to clear as I saw Nappa with his hand extended and a shield around him. His right cheek was cut and pure rage was in his eyes.

"You.......you insolent.......worm" he snarled.

He moved so fast that by the time I blinked, he had me by the neck against the tree.

"Nobody gets the best of my attacks. I'm going to make you bleed and bleed bad."

He began to strike me in the stomach and chest with fierce blows that shook the tree with each hit. Every blow felt like a baseball bat hitting a pillow as the tree began to crack.

"You ruined my pride. You made a fool out of me time and time again. Nobody makes a fool out of me. NOBODY" he shouted.

He fist glowed red and with a final blow, struck me in the chest. I heard 2 things crack, one was the tree as it fell to the ground and the other was my ribs as blood shot out my mouth. He dropped me on the ground and floated out over the water.

"No more games. This time I'll finish you once and for all."

The sky got dark as the water made a wall around him. The wind picked up as small tornadoes touched down and circled around him.

"I've dreamed of taking you out with this attack and now, nothing will stop me."

I got up very slowly to my feet, wobbly and feeling like shit. Looking at Nappa, his power kept rising meaning something big was coming.

"Well hero, what's the plan? You got nothing left" Tyrant said.

I didn't answer him as I closed my eyes and concentrated.

"Wa....wait a minute. You're not going to...."

"I am."

"Are you crazy? We'll both die."

"So be it."

"Are you going to let her live on in sadness for the rest of her life?"

I thought about it for a second before smiling.

"I rather die knowing that I did my best then die without giving this guy hell."

"You stupid idiot."

"You should talk."

I held my good arm over my head and recited the chant in my head. That same ring of power appeared around me, only this time brighter and stronger.

"What ever you're planning won't work boy. Taste the true power I possess, "Demon Blaze"."

A human skull, made of pure dark fire, came hurling at me. I felt the malice and hatred behind that attack. Pure seething evil, heading right towards me. God, I must be the luckiest man in the world to have so many people come after me. Why can't they just ask for autographs or a picture?

"All those who stand before us shall be destroyed by the power you and I possess, "Dragon Slave"."

Both of our attacks connected with a huge shockwave. Since I wasn't exactly at my best of health, it wasn't long until I felt myself starting to lose footing. Nappa laughed as he added more power.

"Yes, yes, yes, die you filthy worm. Stop struggling and accept your fate."

Thanos and Zalbag watched from the castle through a portal in the wall.

"He's had his fun. Time to bid him farewell" Thanos said lifting his hand as the Chaos stone responded, shining brightly.

"I give you credit for lasting this long using the "Dragon Slave" in your state of health. But this is the way its suppose...."

He stopped talking as he felt his power being drained from him rapidly by the gauntlets.

"What....what is happening? No, this can't be."

"He's losing power, now's my chance."

I dug deep down inside my body, gathering whatever I had left, (believe me it wasn't much), and pushed it all into the attack. The ray grew bigger as it canceled out Nappa's attacks and streaked towards him like a missile.

"I was so close. What went wrong?"

The ray connected as an atom bomb like explosion engulfed him. I was tossed in the air from the shockwave and landed with a thud on the ground. Black smoke filled the air as water rained down on me. I chuckled as I looked to where Nappa used to be with blurry vision.

"Man, that is powerful" I said before passing out.

"Investigators and police are still trying to figure out what caused the explosion. So far, no leads were found and scientists are baffled at what could cause a massive hole almost the size of the Grand Canyon, into the ocean you see below. This is Tiffany Cott, live at the scene."

Annabelle turned off the TV and looked at me. I was in the ER, unconscious and wrapped up. Skorp had his hand over my chest emitting a small glow as he went up and down examining me.

"How is he?" Jenna asked.

Skorp moved his hand away and took a deep breath.

"Well, physically he's pretty banged up. But that's not I'm not worried about that."

"What are you worried about then?" my mom asked.

"What's happening right now here" he said pointing to my chest where the stone was. "And here" he said moving his hand up to my head.

"What's happening?" Tasha asked worried.

"He's so spiritually drained from the "Dragon Slave", that Murphy's trying her hardest to turn Ultimus unto her next host. And from the looks of things, the stone's trying its best but it may be too late."

I was floating in complete darkness in the fetal position. I had no clue where I was and frankly didn't care until I heard a voice.

"That took a lot out of you child. Don't you wish you had more power?"

"Po...wer" I said looking into the darkness.

"Yes child, power. I can give it to you. Don't you want to protect her?" Murphy said appearing besides me.

She had on a red dress and a small crown on her head. Her blue hair was long as it extended and covered me like a blanket. Her eyes were green as she snaked her arms around my neck, resting her chin on my head.

A vision appeared in front of me as I saw it was Tasha, lying on the ground almost dead.

"How could you Ultimus? You said you would always be there for me, but you lied. If only you were stronger" she said before vanishing.

"Wait....don't....go" I said weakly, reaching my hand out.

Everybody looked at me as my hand was extended.

"He's dreaming" Skorp said. "She's showing what would happen without her help."

"You see child, all you have to do is say yes, and I will give you the power you need to protect her" she said softly in my ear.

"Ta....sha" I said starting to give in to the power as my eyes went black.

"Yes that's it, accept the power and become even stronger. Stronger then Tyrant, stronger then Thanos, stronger then even Lord Soa himself."

I started to glow black as everybody looked on.

"He's beginning to accept her" Skorp said.

Tasha reached out and grabbed my hand. It burned her as she yelp and let go a little shocked. She growled and grabbed my hand again as it burned her.

"I'm right here Ultimus. I said I would never leave you. I'll always be here for you."

She began to glow white as the stone reacted and glowed with her.

"Impossible" Skorp said. "Could she be......Kirin's re-incarnation?"

A bright light pierced the darkness we were in making Murphy back up.

"What's going on?" she said angrily.

The light faded away as Tasha stood there growling.

"Get away from him you bitch."

"Haha, you're too late. He's given into the darkness. He belongs to me now. I own his soul."

Tasha bared her fangs evilly. She didn't take one step before I uncurled and looked at her. My eyes were still pitch black but were starting to clear up.

"Ta...sha."

"Ultimus" she said with a smile and held her hand out towards me.

I started towards her before my arm was grabbed.

"Don't turn away from what I'm offering you. We belong together. Think of all the possibilities."

I turned around and grabbed her neck.

"I belong to no one but that girl you see behind me. And if you ever try to pull that stunt again, I'll kill you. You don't belong in my mind, you belong in his."

She turned into a red mist and disappeared into the darkness.

"You'll regret this. Tyrant and I will make you pay."

I turned around to look at Tasha.

"Tasha, I....."

"Hush" she said putting her finger to my lips. "You don't have to say anything."

"Let's get out of here."

Her vision vanished as I closed my eyes. Opening my eyes slowly, I saw everybody around me with smiles.

"Hey" I said weakly.

"Welcome back" Greywolf said.

"Thanks" I said sitting up. My arm was healed completely thanks to Skorp.

"You're just as reckless as Ramza use to be. But just like him, you always come through in the end" Skorp said shaking his head.

I slid out of bed and stood up a little shaky at first but managed to get my legs back under me.

"Ultimus, I must bid you farewell for now. I must train myself for the upcoming battles ahead. I will see you soon" he said with a bow before disappearing.

"So, we have 1 down and 2 more to go" Crystal said.

"Yes, so far so good" Xellos said.

"No doubt the last 2 will be a handful" Venom added.

"Your right" I said nodding my head. "It's going to get tough from here on in, but I know that together, we will overcome and send Thanos back to hell."

"Right on" Chris said.

They all nodded their heads in agreement. I looked at the door as I saw Tasha. She gave me a wink, then disappeared.

"Let's get some rest. I know I need it."

"You're growing up son. You even have some grey hair up there" Xellos said with a chuckle.

Everybody said their goodbyes as I headed to my room. I walked in as the room was lightly illuminated by 2 candles on the dresser. Sitting on the couch, I took off my shirt and pants, leaving only my boxers on as I leaned back. The cool, night breeze felt nice as I drifted into a short nap before I felt 2 arms wrap around my neck.

"Are you too tired to play with me?" Tasha said licking my ear.

"What have you got planned?"

She went over to the dresser and pressed play on the CD player as soft, slow music was heard from the speakers. Crawling on the bed, she laid on her back and looked at me.

"I want to make you as horny as you were tonight" she said squeezing her breasts lightly.

I watched as she slowly moved her hand down her beautiful body as soft moans and gasps escaped her muzzle. She touched herself lightly as she started to get wet quickly. Bringing her wet fingers up, she licked them clean before moving down there once again and pushing her finger in slowly.

"Oh yeah" she moaned quietly as she started a slow motion of masturbation.

I was at full attention and breathing hard from this very arousing show.

"You like?" she said, her eyes half closed.

"Hell yeah."

"Want to help me?"

"Do you even need to ask?"

"Then what are you waiting for big boy, come and get it."

I tried to get up but found myself bound to the chair I was in.

"How the hell....."

"While you were asleep for those few minutes, I took the opportunity and bound you to the chair. I want see how much you can handle before I drive you over the edge."

I struggled with the binds as they held fast. She chuckled as she looked into my eyes filled with frustration and lust.

"Well, I guess I have to finish myself off then" she said bringing her other hand down rubbing her clit making her moan.

This was too cruel, but so fucking hot as I watched her body squirm from her self pleasuring. Her moans got higher as she moved her fingers faster. I watched in agony as she bucked into her fingers whining softly. My penis was throbbing painfully as pre just leaked out. After a minute or so, her body tensed as she let out a yelp coating her fingers in cum.

"Mmm, that was good" she said a little out of breath.

"This is mean" I said straining more.

"I know, but it makes me even more hornier knowing that as soon as you break those binds, you're going to screw me silly."

She slid off the bed getting on all fours and started crawling slowly towards me. Her tail moved behind her slowly as her eyes were half closed and filled with lust. The room was filled to capacity with her scent making more blood rush to my penis as I groaned loudly.

"Are you having fun yet?" she said with a murr resting her hand on my lap.

"No" I said with frustration.

"Awww, too bad" she said with a smile. "I'm having a ball."

Her cold nose touched my shaft lightly making me shudder as more pre leaked out.

"God, I never smelt you so aroused before. You're penis is burning hot to the touch" she said touching it lightly.

She crawled closer to my face and placed her still wet finger to my mouth and pushed in. I sucked greedily on them getting what I could before she pulled them away making me growl in anger.

"How about we cool down that fire of yours huh?"

She got back on her knees and slowly took my rod in her mouth. I gasped loudly and groaned as her mouth felt so good. I gripped the arm of the couch hard as she started moving her head up and down.

"Yes, just like that....oh god....just a little more."

I was almost there when she stopped and smiled.

"Sorry, if you want to cum, you're going to have to earn it."

She crawled back on the bed on all fours lifting her tail in the air showing me her pussy which glistened in the candlelight.

"You want me?"

"Yes."

"You need me?"

"Yes."

"Want to cum inside this hot, wet pussy?"

"YES DAMN YOU."

"Then break the bonds that hold you" she said moving her hand around again and sticking a finger inside her making her shiver.

I struggled harder as I managed to make the magical bonds she put around me crack a little.

"I can only wait for so long. I need something to fill me better then my finger" she said looking back at me. "Ultimus, hurry, I can't hold on any longer."

That did for me. I began to struggle like mad trying to break the bonds and plunge hard and deep into the wolf before me. Then with a yell, I broke the bonds as they shattered like glass. Not wasting any time, I ran up, pushed her up on the bed and impaled her. She let out a yip as I grabbed her hips roughly and started to piston in and out of her.

"Yes, fuck me, fuck me. Unleash....nng...your...fury into....me."

It didn't take long for her to cum as she sprayed herself over my pubic hairs. I didn't even stop as she whined when I reached around and rubbed her clit. She meet every rough thrust with one of her own as her outer lips started turning red from the constant pounding which only added to her pleasure. I finally felt it coming around again as I slammed into her again and again. My balls felt like dams ready to burst at any moment. I tensed up and slammed into her one last time as that dam finally burst as a torrent of cum filled her. She never felt so much as it leaked onto the bed making a decent size puddle along with her own cum.

"Wow" she said softly resting her head on a pillow as the stars filled our eyes.

She started to rise up but I pushed her back down.

"You think I'm going to let you get away with that?"

"Are you going to punish me?" she said with a chuckle.

"You'll see."

I pulled out slowly making her shiver lightly. Lifting her tail higher, I saw what I wanted, which was her pink tail hole. I looked down making sure I was lubed with enough of our juices for easy entry and placed the head of my penis at her entrance. She gasped and turned to look at me.

"Wait, you wouldn't?"

I just smiled as I pushed in slowly, watching as my head entered her virgin ass. She yelped and gripped the bed tightly, her body tensed up around my cock making me shudder.

"Re....relax yourself" I said out of breath from the tight feeling. "It'll be over before you know it."

I pushed in little by little, letting her get use the size. She gasped as I fully hilted her as her breathing was rapid. I waited for a few before pulling out and then pushing in slowly. I heard her moan after my second thrust as her body began to adjust to me. Soon I had a steady pace going as her ass constricted with every thrust. Each thrust got a loud moan as I smiled down at her.

"You like that don't you" I said going a little faster.

She could only whine in pleasure as she tried to catch her breath. The pain she felt quickly washed away as nothing but pleasure was felt.

"It....hurts....but feels....so good."

"I knew you'd like it" I said reaching under her and began to rub her clit again.

"Oh god" she moaned bringing her head up. Her eyes wer closed and her tongue hung from the side of her muzzle.

I picked the pace as each thrust ended with a loud smack. Her ass started to tighten around me as she was reaching the point of no return.

"Cum in my ass baby. Fill my virgin hole with your seed. Oh fuck I never felt this good before."

The heat and tightness were indescribable as I was quickly brought to my climax but fought it back a little longer. Tasha let out a loud whine then howled as she came hard rocking her senses as more fluid leaked down her leg. I thought she was going to rip my dick off when she tightened on me. I screamed in pleasure as I followed her orgasm with my own, coating her bowels with sticky cum. I collapsed on my side taking her with me.

"I can't believe you did that" she said quietly.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me."

Tasha giggled lightly as I kissed her neck.

"I should blame myself. I didn't think I pushed you that far over the edge."

"Well now you know not to do that again huh?"

"I don't know. I kind of enjoyed watching you squirm in that chair."

I chuckled and began to pull out of her when she stopped me.

"No, leave it in. This will be a reminder to me if I ever do this again."

I laughed softly and pushed back in getting a moan from her. Wrapping my arm around her, we both fell asleep quickly.
