Dragon HYDRA (Completed)

Checkmate

              The ship was on the verge of drowning. Kurome's crew reach towards that destroyed ship and captured passed out crew, and Zaizen. They came back on Kurome's ship with them.

            "Don't think this is over. I....I.....I.........," Zaizen shouted even though his voice was cracking and he was half passed out. "No, this is now once and for all over!!! There's nothing you can do. I hope you would look back and know how much wrong you did." Kurome said with satisfaction. "And also be ready you have lot of questions to answer!!" Kurome smirked.

Kurome received call through transceiver. "Are you alright? What the situation now?" Akio bombarded Kurome with questions. "Whoa, whoa chill!! Akio. Everything is fine. We have finally....... finally.......won the war!!!" Kurome smiled. Akio's eyes lightened with joy, "Hah...!! Really!! That's great!! We also have everything here in under control, the ogres are slowly falling back."

            "What were you thinking Kurome-chan? I was so worried about you. Captain told us everything. Because of ogre attacks we couldn't come to help. And you put your life at stake?!! You just had got better and now....." Aoi sobbed.

           "Whoa, catch a breath Aoi-chan. I didn't knew you were here too? Look you don't have to worry. I just did what was right and this was to be expected if we were entering in a war. Before the start of war, I have already made up my mind that even if I have to give my life, I would, to protect my domain." Kurome firmly spoke.

           "I agree. If we didn't had such type of resolve, winning this war would have been impossible. Even I was worried, about everyone but this what the situation demanded!!" Akio got anxious. "Ohhhh!! Was our little Akio worried?!" Kurome joked. "Hey...,you!! I was just saying...," Akio got embarrassed. Kurome and Aoi couldn't hold their laughter.

            "Haha, sorry, still we don't have to worry anymore. We got the enemy. *Kurome's eyes turned towards Zaizen with narrowed gaze*. He can't do anything now. I would be coming there now, while my crew brings him there." Kurome said.

              "Dragon Hydra, I thank you. If it wasn't for you we wouldn't have won this war." Kurome said genuinely. "Let's head out to domains now." Kurome requested.

Kurome got on Dragon Hydra's  back and they flew towards domain.
             "I don't really think that Zaizen was the only one planning about war. Looks like Sea Serpent talked him into it." Dragon Hydra said. Kurome took the pause and was thinking then she said, "Well, Zaizen was always the one who really gave off dominating vibes, so it is thinkable." 

          "Even though the first war was done by Amphitere but the mastermind behind it was definitely Sea Serpent. He was backing Amphitere. It's like he was using Amphitere and once he got he want he would have threw him away and just not Amphitere but anyone." Dragon Hydra said anxiously.

           "I guess, the history was repeating itself. But this time we would try, that us vessels would not let this happen again." Kurome said. "Even though you said that, but no one can know what happens next, but yes, I would also make sure that Sea Serpent or any other Dragon won't try to do this again." Dragon Hydra grumbled.

          "Don't worry, Dragon Hydra, I know it must be frustrating to see your fellow Dragon in such state. But it would be alright." Kurome comforting Dragon Hydra.

           Dragon Hydra, turning one of their heads little bit towards Kurome said, "This aside, we are really proud of you, you have handled this situation well. After your father passed, it was hard decision to who to make next vessel. When I decided to make you my next vessel, everyone was either having doubts or straight up against it. But to see such a little fragile girl to be such strong woman!!! We are proud and your father must be too!!!"

Kurome couldn't hold it in, and her eyes became teary. And through her weeping voice she let out genuine Thank You.

They reached to domain, that day was mesmerizing for everyone because they got to see, huge famous creatures that they would have heard from their parents and grandparents. And on top of that when, Kurome and Dragon Hydra came, everyone was blown away to see that giant 5-headed Dragon. And that fierce look on Kurome's face of winning the war, they couldn't take their eyes off.

Then they helped to get ogre break in stopped. And everything was back in place. And peace was achieved. But the whole truth was yet to be heard..............from Zaizen.
