Chapter 18: To Meet With A Friend, Then To Kill Him.

"Diablo! When are we going to go back home? This place is scary!"."Don't worry, Michael, we just have some work to do, and then we will leave." This place isn't scary at all, compared to Reaper Society. When we first entered here, I chose the highest floating Island, which was probably not a good idea, as right above us is RNo (RagNar-ok)'s Dwelling, but still, it was a nice place. The Dragon Dimension was basically void, as all dragons were born with wings. In this void, the founded, RagNar, decided to construct 11 Islands, so that people from other dimensions may enter, and that the baby dragons, whose wings have not fully matured, are able to live there.

The lowest Island, Isle 1, is filled with plants, and so is Isle 6. These two Floating Sky Islands, were filled with the plants of the Dragon Dimension. Isle 1 is filled with good plants, with both healing properties, and medical help. These plants are used in many inter-deminsional drug stops, as it's plants are most potent, second to Flugre's, but it is much safer. The ground is covered in Grass, with stone and dirt. The Stone has minerals only for plants (Potassium,Calcium, those things) and its dirt is ten times more fertile then the most fertile in the Human Dimension. 

Isle 6, however is the pure opposite of 1. It is filled with the most ravengous and deadly plants, yet these plants are the lifeblood of Omnivore Dragons, as there are no dragons pure herbivore. These plants consist of man eating plants, poisonous plants, paralyzing, and so on. These plants are used to make drugs as well, but the bad kind of drugs, without benefit. These plants are dangerous, and they can only be killed by destroying there roots, and the roots can only be cut with metal forged with dragon scale, and they are fire resistant. As a result, the only way to cut these are with Dragon power, or with Soul Emifers, power only granted to humans.

Then comes the next 9 islands, all meant for dragons, in ascending order, where Isle 2 has Water Dragons, then 3rd, with Earth, 4th, with Fire, 5th with Metal, 7th and 8th with a Mixture, 9th with Steel, then 10 and 11, the Hybrids. Isle 2 is a water wonderland, meant for dragons that are part amphibious, it is a haven for all things living in the sea. filled with waterfalls, trees, and a big pool in the middle. The same are for the next few islands, but just with there type, like 3rd, with Mud and dirt hills, instead of waterfalls, and a sea, the 4th with Lava and flames, 5th with Molten Steel and Ore, a haven for miners.

Islands 7 and 8 are for adult Dragons, and they are usually there to become friends, or show there strength. It consists of the previous four types. Then comes the leaders of the dragons, the 10s and 11s. These consist of Hybrids of Dragons, other beings, or simply other dragons, such as the Steel Hybrid, the Void Hybrid, Spatial Hybrid, Celestial Hybrid, and so forth. these are all 10 Isle ones. The eleventh are for Dragons worthy of becoming the next Lord, and after the Lords death, only those in 11 are to fight, and the survivor becomes the Lord. Its an awful crude method, but gets the work done.

Since 1 is the first island, and the peaceful one, dimension portals are concentrated there. If you want to ascend, you would have to kill/defeat the leading Dragon of that Island. and I have killed the leaders, and got taken to the eleventh. Michael was scared everytime he saw the dragons fight, because he was worried, it might be him doing that next. I however, had no issue. Soon the eleventh's found out I was the Reaper Lord, and they questioned me. I told them I'm here to fight off the Human lord, and they simply watched, knowing it was going to be intense, and they too, knew , they weren't near as strong enough to take them on. Maybe all four of the dragons could've taken me, granted there species were better for being together, rather than being solo, as a result, they couldn't kill me, and they knew that.

So I waited patiently for 'Sensei' ie LesLout, a renowed scientist. Michael was continuously scared, and wanted Trinity, but I told him, it wasn't possible. So we continued sitting there, waiting for LesLout to come and fight me, because he knows the consequences of coming here, if he remembered. Then, I felt his presence. "Great! He's Finally here! Michael, You wait here, I'm just going to practice a little bit, at the dragons Void, the best place for training. You stay here, and if you see anyone come up, or you are scared, call me!" and I ran off, practicing my blows."Today your head will finally be mine, LesLout, and I will display it, infront of my home."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Shit, Why did I come here? Johnny's not safe, damnit!" and I stormed away. "Ah, the famous 11 islands, well this is going to be simple," and I headed over to island 11. I didn't want to spend to much energy by jumping up, so I decided to fight my way, hey, it will help me because I would be ready. In the first Island, about 10 cubic kilometres big, was filled with plants. On one side of the Isle, I saw the Waterfall with holy water, but it wasn't the water that was holy, it was the berries behind the fall, so I gathered the GoldenBerries, a good medicine to heal wounds, helpful for the upcoming battle. I then gathered about 10 of them, grinded them, and then diluted its potentcy with the holy water, so that it would be an elixer. I also mixed some Hapsey Berries, and some Jonsa Berries, meant for an increase in strength and stamina respectively. The water was called Holy , because it was the only thing the grinded berries were soluble in, being a perfect asset in making potent elixers. I then decided to go to Isle 2.

"Who dares enter this island, after the death of my father? I shall kill you, you insolent human!" the Dragon wrote, as they had a lack of vocal chords. I decided it would be hard to talk with him, so I , with the help of Master's spells, grew him some Vocal chords. "I.. can talk! Thank you, Human, but still, I shall kill you, to regain my father's pride." so he came and fought me. Dragons were weak when it came to using ME, but there physical strength was formidible, and they all had a special ability to control there respective type, and since he was the heir to the throne, this dragon was most likely the strongest and had most control, but, Water was weak against Lightning ME, so I simply had to cast a Thunderstorm, and with that I got the Dragons ability gone, my only problem was his physical strength, as ME and SE were useless against it. I had to go with my fists, which was weaker than Diablo's, but stronger than the Dragons. The battle lasted a few minutes, but he fell, and I won, but, I did not have to kill him to continue, so I let him live. "When I come back here, with another Human, I want you and him to fight, and if he is to die, you can restore your pride , by killing me, only if you kill him, and if he wins, you are to serve him. Now live, and become stronger!"

This continued with the dragons of Isle 3,4, and 5. They all had there father killed. "That GodDamned Diablo, killing the already few dragons!" and it just angered me more. I did the same with all the dragons, and told them the same thing, and they seemed convinced enough. In the 6th Isle, I had a few problems, because the plants were extremely tough, so I took some Hapsey , ungrinded, and fought off the plants. the 7th and 8th weren't that difficult, as it was another leader of the Fire dragons, but he was different, he was a hybrid of the basics, 40% Fire, 15% Water, 15% Earth, and 30% Metal. I couldn't use a simply ME, so I decided to simply beat him by negotiation. Although I could beat him, I didn't want to waste my abilites . He didn't listen, so I had to activate my SE, just a tad bit. Since he was the leader of both 7th and 8th, it made it much easier. The steel Dragon had  a weakness to Ice, as so, I simply froze him, and he didn't want to fight, because I intiated this time. "I do not want to fight, I simply want peace, and that Reaper does not know, peace. Please, end him for us." he said. I understood because I installed Vocal Chords in all of them, so they can talk.

The tenth Dragon, was a much tougher oponent, as he was a Void Dragon, legend says , they were the strongest, and that RagNar himself was a void, whereas now RNo is a Spatial. A Void Dragon had no weakness, but had no strength as well, they were completly neutral, yet, unlike other dragons, have better ME then Physical Strength. He was not a peace lover, he actually wanted to start wars with the other Dimensions. I had to kill this one, although, because he was to bring problems in the future. "Void, I would like to make peace with you, just let me ascend to the 11th floor." but he neglected what I asked. "I am the Void Dragon, the next in line to ascend to eleventh, I am Osroe, The King of the 10th floor, I will Kill RagNor-Ok, and take the throne, for the rightful successor! After taking succession of the throne, I shall become Lord of the Dragons, and we shall launch a full scale war amongst all other dimension, and become an omnipotent Power! WE SHALL RULE THE WORLDS AND UNIVERSES. MWAHAHAHAHHAHA!" this dragon said, which made me regret giving him vocal chords. Yet , I knew he had to die.

At first he created a barrier which would support both him and me, in ways. I didn't want to activate my powers at the beginning, because I didn't want to waste my energy for my fight with Diablo, but I realized he was to strong for me not to try to my fullest. "Bwahahah! Is This the strength of the Human Lord? Man, this is just too easy, sure , the Reaper lord was able to kill father, but I'm much stronger than father, he was never able to hurt me, yet he had the throne so I had to wait it out, but now I shall push myself to the 11th Isle, and kill RNo, and become the lord, goodluck foolish human." I knew I wasn't strong enough to defeat him, so I had to activate my powers, I knew it was impossible without it. I then called onto my power, Kazju, and it was the only invisible Soul Emifer. "HAHAHAHA, THE HUMAN LORD, CAN'T EVEN USE A SOUL EMIFER? THIS IS TOO SAD, BWAHAHAHAH!" and he just became more cocky.

Yet this time, when I punched him, he went flying into the void, which was impossible for me to enter, unless I wanted my internal organs to pop and explode, then I realized that his barrier was to allow me to beat him up, and I flew to the corner of the place before he was even able to reach the barrier walls, and I continued punching him till he fell, and died. "You see, Osroes? My SE has the power of invisiblity, and makes my physical strength tremondously stronger. If, lets say, my base strength was 1000, with my Soul Emifer, it would go to 100000, and every minute of it with me, It would gain strength by two times.You see? My SE gives me virtually endless strength! With it, you can't stand a chance, foolish dragon." and with that I went to the 11th Isle.

Once I entered, I heard a slow clap, it was from Diablo. "Ha..Ha...Ha.. Well done, LesLout! Now, lets begin our blitzkrieg, shall we?" and he started our fight with lightning. I decided as well, to use lightning attacks, at first. It seemed like Michael was afraid of the sound of Thunder, and he hid behind a tree. A dragon then grabbed him and hugged him tightly, saying, "Its alright, friend of Reaper Lord. You will be safe with us. I wish this fight wouldn't occur, because after the death of anyone of those two, it will cause chaos between the three dimensions of Humans,Reapers, and Dragons. But right now, you are safe, so stay behind me." it was a she-dragon, the first I ever saw to be this high. Knowing that Diablo was not keen, and relied on brute strength, I knew my only way was to trap him, with a good plan. I started off the fight activating my SE, because I knew he was strong. I kept an eye on his Scythe, as once it thickens, that means he also, activitated his Soul Emifer. I was already tired, so in the midst of the battle I popped a Jonsa Berry in my mouth, and I felt my stamina regaining. he continued punching me, and felt ready. "Ora Ora Ora!" he said, and I felt like his Japanese side got the better of him. The fight was very intense, but it seemed like at this point, the winner of the battle couldn't be found.

I simply prayed for the fact that Hazen was able to defeat Trinity, Diablo's right hand woman. I myself didn't know her abilities, but I knew that if Diablo trusted her to fight against both Johnny and Hazen, then she must be strong. "Yes, she is, I would say about half of my strength, when I'm at full strength, that is." he said, as if he read my mind. After praying, I simply shook off the idea of anyone else, and faced the target in front of me. "Diablo! you shall die, after this battle, so prepare yourself!" I said, and charged.
