Top of the Airship, after the battle.

Kylo's head was stuck leaned against the ship's edge. He couldn't move no matter how much he tried, his body was completely stiff.

He had just defeated the Kessho Captain with [Dance Of The Wind Spirit] and [Wind Dragon's Wrath.] leaving him in an incapacitated state.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a muscle. That's how much of a strain the moves were on him.

His mother had already performed treatment on him, but the amount of stamina he wasted wasn't something which could be replenished by her healing. She was going around from ship to ship healing others, leaving him and his sister alone.

Lita who was quietly leaned against him and by his side gave him a sense of comfort. The fact that he was in a life-threatening fight didn't seem to mean much to him in that moment.

"Hey... Brother... When will all this fighting end...?" Lita asked with teary eyes.

She was back to her usual self.

Kylo looked at the sky and clouds above with a worried gaze.

"I wish I knew..." He muttered. "Rather.. I feel like you'd be the one who'd know the answer to it, especially considering your ability and all." He muttered.

Lita looked down at her hands before clenching them.

"I can't... I can't use it like that and I wouldn't want to..."

"I'm scared of my visions... I'm scared of the future..."

"...I'm scared of seeing something bad..."

Kylo listened to his sister's sincere words without saying anything. He honestly wasn't sure of what to say in the moment.

With the way things were, no matter how hard they tried otherwise all that they could see ahead was a path of pain and suffering.

But somehow he didn't seem to care... As long as his sister, their mother, Gray and the others were all okay, then even if the world were to become hell itself, he'd be able to pull through.

His arm trembled as he slowly dragged it over to his sister's head to pet it

*Pat*

"Don't be scared... I'm your brother, You already know that I'd never let anything happen to you."

"There's also Gray too, you know that he'd never let anything hurt us..."

A smile slowly Grew on Kylo's face as he stared at his snotty nosed sister in her eyes.

"We'll protect you, we'll protect everyone... So stop showing me such a sad look and smile... Alright?" He muttered with a bright smile.

Lita's eyes lit up from hearing her brother's words, she lightly squeezed his torn shirt before nodding with teary eyes and a trembling smile.

"Alright..."

A shoe piece belonging to his sister was all that remained on the sight. Kylo recognised the shoe and it's size right away.

There was no doubt about it... It was his sister's.

*Thump* *Thump*

His heart began to beat faster and faster, his pupils slowly shifted from a round to a slit shape.

'I said I'd protect her so why...?'

'Why can't I do one simple thing... Why...?'

Kylo's figure vanished into the wind as it was submerged by it.

Kylo's thoughts resounded one after another on the inside of the spiralling body of wind. He was unaware of where he was or what exactly he was doing, but he knew it was causing destruction.

But even so, he didn't care.

His body was also slowly being consumed by his ability, he could no longer move it freely. He was unfortunately too blinded by Rage to notice this.

'WHYYYYYYYYYY!?!?'

*ROOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!*

-Memory End

*ROAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!*

The Dragon let out another loud roar after noticing that it had been grazed by Delta's attacks.

At that moment, the countless fangs of winds which had survived and the barrage of abilities created by the corps members on the ground were all fired off.

The barrage of abilities was fired in the dragon's direction, however, they covered such a large scale and radius that the girls were doomed to get caught up in it.

Not only that but they also had to watch the wind fangs which were aimed at each of them individually.

"Delta! Grab my hand-"

*BOOM!!!!!*

*BOOM!* BOOOOM!*

Loud explosions emerged from the collisions of the abilities as they collided with not only one another but also the surroundings.

Some overpowered overs, cancelling it out while others led straight to explosions.

The dragon's snake-like soared across the skies, barely avoiding the attacks as it dodged with irregular movements.

It could foresee all attacks from all directions making it an incredible pain to attack. Furthermore the tornado down below was launching all of the attacks out of course.

-

"KEEP FIRING!!! DON'T STOP!!!" Yelled out the high ranking corps member in command.

"ALL UNITS FI-"

The last part of the sentence was cut off from his accidentally biting his tongue as something hit him in the back of the head.

"!"

He slowly turned only to find Aurora shaking her head. She was the one who had hit him in the back of the head to stop him and get his attention.

"WHAT IS IT!? YOU WORRY ABOUT RESCUING THE PEOPLE AND WE'LL WORRY ABOUT TAKING THAT THING DOWN."

Aurora and Violet had indeed been rescuing as many people as they could during the fight.

It wasn't easy at all, the number of times people were almost hit by supplies or pieces of equipment from the food stalls was unbelievable, and even worse was catching them with all the momentum being carried out by the strong winds.

Fortunately for them, the two were able to synchronise their movements and keep the damage to a minimum.

Aurora rose pillars of soft ice from the base of the tornado and the walls around as cushions for the people. Violet would propel them to the ice cushions with her abilities.

After being cushioned, Aurora had created Ice spheres resistant to the strong tornado winds for the people to go inside of. She had created many spheres of ice all around the room to prevent the very same people from returning into the tornado.

With this method, they were slowly getting more and more people to safety until finally, there was no one left in need of help.

"A lot of people were injured but fortunately no one died... If you want the number of deaths to stay this way then stop launching your attacks." Said Aurora.

"Your commander and our friend is up there, if you end up hitting them instead of the dragon ro destroying this place, then we'll all end up dead." Explained Violet as she flew past them.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!*

The eyes of the corps member in charge widened as he looked up at the ceiling. Countless ripples and distortions could be seen amongst the smoke clouds generated from the explosion.

He adjusted his cap over his ragged chrome brown hair and trembled before giving the order.

"ALL UNITS S-SEIZE FIRE NOW!!!"

At his command, the countless elemental balls, arrows, and manifestations of their abilities in countless forms all stopped being launched.

The explosions seized along side it, yet the dome continued to tremor and shake violently. The ceiling was covered in holes and cracks from the attacks.

The smoke cloud created from all the attacks began to fade, showing the unharmed figure of the Dragon flying around and through the smoke.

It flew freely and seemed both unharmed and unaffected.

"God damn it... Was all of that a waste of effort!?"

"Did we just get in the way!?" The corps member in command questioned as he watched with disbelief.

"Sort of... But it isn't over." Aurora responded as she pointed at one of corner of the ceiling.

The smoke slowly faded from that corner displaying both Delta and Ria closely holding onto one another on top of a bird in the form of flames.

There were countless ripples and distortions in the air before them.

"Don't worry, those two won't lose."

-

*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*

"That was close, we were almost caught in the middle of that blast chain...'

'Fortunately, I was able to teleport us to safety in time... But at this rate I'll just end up running out of energy and we'll lose...' Ria thought to herself.

"If it's like this... Then there's only one thing we can do..."

The two girls glanced at one another before nodding..

"We'll put it all into our attacks and end it." Delta added.

[Spatial Manipulation: Spatial Ripple Portals.]

Countless Ripples began manifesting in the space around the ceiling. It lamost looked as if the entire space would be covered up and devoured by them.

The Dragon was completely surrounded.

Without a moment's delay, Ria leapt into the ripple to her right, plunging right into it as she did so.

Meanwhile, Delta's entire body was slowly engulfed in flames. Her hair colour was slowly changing into a darker silver as the edges of her hair lit up and her eyes glowed dark.
