Delinquent Dragon

Beyond The Silence of Waiting

An abyss of anger was directed towards Great Red while the injured Keiji was hanging onto Ophis, fighting for his life. Concern filled him as much as the injuries that littered his body, his veins pulsing as even the golden planet of a pupil made Keiji look like a spec of dust, and he probably was dust when compared to Great Red's might.

'This isn't good,' Keiji thought nervously. 'Is he gonna try and kill us?' Keiji looked to see the glaring Ophis. 'Knowing Ophis, she just might attack him. And I don't think she can even beat him. After all, Great Red did boot her out of the Dimensional Gap.'

A gust of air blew enough hard to make Keiji's hair go super saiyan, with the long gap between the True Dragon's actions making Keiji's bone rattle against his skin.

What Keiji didn't expect to hear was the dragon god to declare, "I do what I do because I want to...nothing else~"

Like the death of God and the Satans, Keiji felt like the whole world was breaking down. "What the fuck is going on?!" Keiji muttered, sounding genuinely distraught. "What's wrong with the sanity of the universe?!"

"Idiot," Ophis muttered, a deadpan expression on her face.

"Just... how?! Can someone tell me how the FUCK the strongest being in existence apparently watches that stupid show?!"

Keiji had more things to worry about as Great Red went on the move, surrounding them and a crimson aura shining out as the two of them found themselves atop of the Apocalypse Dragon; coincidentally, the horn was right there for something to hold on.

Whether it was because of it's size or the lengths of the infinity kaleidoscope, the movement was lazy as Great Red continued to torment Keiji by repeating the damn phrase like it's the latest popular song.

"Apart from the torture, what's happening right now?" Keiji asked Ophis, the Infinity Dragon being the closest in power to the almighty dragon.

Ophis huffed. "Baka Red is giving us a lift back to the Underworld, because he apparently is a fan," she explained, with Keiji half listening due to the fact his injuries were still there, blood loss confusing him from everything. "I still think you're a much better delinquent than the stupid big red lizard!" Ophis said, ignoring that lizard was an insult to all of them.

'I don't even know what's happening anymore,' Keiji thought.

Something jolted him as his eyes were enlightened by the sight he was seeing. Aura was seeping through his armour, wounds becoming mere dreams, and the aura didn't stop there, with the energy source sinking deeper into him. "What's happening?" Keiji answered.

World-shaking roars came from Great Red, though the look on his face showed it was one of laughter, not anger of any kind.

The blank-faced expression left Ophis as she stared at what was happening in awe. "Baka Red is giving you a small piece of his power," she explained, making Keiji's head turn back at the privilege that he was receiving, "because cool delinquents help each other," Ophis finished explaining, translating Great Red's roaring into edible words.

Keiji grimaced as he felt the tight grip on his arm from Ophis, the latter glaring down at her fellow dragon god.

"You're not taking Keiji." Ophis then turned to Keiji. "I'll give you something even better," Ophis explained, her stoic expression making her words impossible to delve further into.

In the end, Keiji wouldn't even need to answer as a rip in reality, and soon everyone near the hotel in the Underworld were looking up in completely glorification at seeing the Dragon of Dragons emerge.

Rias and the others looked to have been preparing a ritual of some sorts, but they stopped, staring up in surprise. Soon, it changed into smiles of joy and relief as they witnessed Keiji's armoured form flying down with Ophis clinging to him, waving at the lot of them.
