HIROGERU (Season 2)

Episode 18 - Another Reunion

Their weapons clashed as the force of each of their attacks sent them back a bit and once more, the three combatants found themselves in distance with each other. Lucian held on his rapier as he stood calmly with darkness charged up on his left hand. Seiryu on the other hand held his katana in a one armed thrust stance just right above his head.

Drake held his scythe over his shoulder once more and the blade faced towards the ground.

"I'm getting tired of this stalemate." The darkness Rogue said and immediately a dragon wings protruded from his back.

"Getting serious?" Lucian said to him with a smile on his face. "How convenient." He added.

"I won't kill you my brothers." Drake replied to them and this brought surprise to both of them.

"What the hell?" Seiryu asked in a perplexed manner. "Then why the hell are you fighting us?" he asked.

The darkness lanky Rogue jumped up on the altar and he balanced himself on top of the thin beam of the table. Darkness continued to rage around him and his eyes continued to change color. His left eye was now red in hue, which resembled Seiryu's while his right was yellow and it resembled Lucian's.

"No way..." the long haired Rogue said as he kept his guard.

"How on earth..." Lucian said himself in surprise.

"I told you, the reunion has begun." Drake said to them. "You may not feel it, but our ancestor's power courses through our very veins." He said as he closed his eyes. He inhaled and exhaled and darkness came forth after each deep breath.

Seiryu and Lucian likewise felt pain in their chests as they both clutched it and fell to their knees.

"Damn!" the long haired Rogue shouted as he felt intense pain all over his body. "What are you doing to me?!" he shouted at the darkness Rogue.

"Ugh..." Lucian said as he tried to resist the pain. "St-Stop this..." he said.

Drake laughed in a very evil manner as he felt the powers of Bahamut and Tiamat begin to converge and combine with him. "This is Ezreal's will! You cannot resist your true calling. Now join with me and together we will bring back the age where darkness ruled Gaia!" he continued to shout, but then he had another thing coming.

An ice burst pierced through Drake's chest and soon enough it transformed into the familiar rapier of the woman soldier that he had knocked down earlier.

"Agh! What the?!" the darkness Rogue exclaimed in pain and exasperation.

"Don't you ever shut up?" Julia said with a smirk on her face. She held the rapier as tight as possible and Drake began to freeze from his torso area.

She pulled the sword out and Drake fell to the ground as he clutched his chest in pain. It was a chain of events as Seiryu and Lucian felt that the pain in their bodies begin to subside.

"Miss Julia..." Lucian said as he stood up. "I guess I should thank you then." He smiled at her.

The ice soldier didn't look at him. Seiryu on the other hand just looked at Julia with a smirk on his face.

"Who knew you'd pull through?" he said to her.

"Funny, I don't recall clutching my chest in pain." She replied to him with a smirk on her face.

Drake got up to his knees as he coughed up blood. He held his chest in pain while his wings tried to flap itself to get him up in the air.

"It...was almost completed..." he said. The Rogue's eyes were now back to its purple color. "I guess I have to try harder next time..." he said as he became a shadow and disappeared right in front of them.
