Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dee then stretched, faking fatigue. She said to Iori, "That food was delicious, Yagami, as always. Now, sad to say, but I must return to the party. I sooo want to know what I missed of that story."

At that, Dee left and Sangcun arrived. She, out of breath said, "Iori, Iori, you must come quickly downstairs! Kusanagi was here and he totally trapped Ash in a fireproof cage! He demanded that you fight him or this castle is going straight to hell! And if you think I am serving that Orochi leader, you are sooo wrong! Ash and I were only being real good at acting! We had to to see what the F they were planning!"

Iori was alerted right away and said, "Trunks, Zane, you go back to the lounge and alert everyone on what is going on and the truth, okay? Tell everyone that Ash and Sangcun are on the good side still and let everyone know that Lily will handle that good for nothing boss of the Orochi warriors. She should be the new leader anyways. Now go! I am going to handle Kyo right now!"

Storming downstairs and taking an elevator cable down the volcano and storming to where Kyo was waiting, Iori lit his finger. He saw Ash in the cage, sitting down looking as bored as ever.

It was then that Iori realized one important truth. The entire reason why he fell for someone like Sangcun. She was so different than him that she could provide the new and exciting things he had been craving. He could show off his power without having to hurt anyone. Maybe scare them a little, but that's even better!

Seeing Ash bored like this, one thing was perfectly clear, Kyo must die. "We end this now, Kusanagi! No interruptions and no holding back. We fight in the forest of death that is beside this castle and Ash stays here. The stakes are, you kill me, Ash does whatever you tell him to do and I will admit being a traitor. I kill you, and I will set Ash free and the Orochi leader dies along with you. Ya know, Kusanagi, I could never tell who was worse. You or that good for nothing leader of my race. But now I know. You two are one in the same!"

Rubbing his hands into a blazing fire, Kyo smirked at Iori with a wicked glare in his eyes. "What can I say, Yagami, you just rub me raw!" Kicking up a wave of blazing fire he readied himself. I will never know what Dee sees in you, hell if it wasn't for that flame of yours you would be nothing!" He could tell that Iori was becoming more and more enraged at his insults...Just what he wanted.

He charged, "That is what makes me better than you, I am like a dragon, you are an insect under my claws!" With his arm out stretched he roared, "Die IORI!!!"

Powering up, Iori said, "No one kidnaps Ash Crimson who is trying to turn over a new leaf without a little payback! This is lower than what you did to Pookie! * Iron maidens of death I call upon your power to destroy this little ingrate!"

8 hands of iron surround Kyo ready to grip him, crush him, send him flying, basically 8 different ways Kyo could die. As his maidens did the work, Iori added, "Oh, and it wasn't Dee who chose me, by the way. I chose her. I can live without my flame. Barely, but I can. I have learned to adapt without it before."

Sangcun watched as Kyo had died and felt this interesting feeling deep within her gut. Though Iori had won the fight, this war was far from over. But the question was why did she feel this way?

Then she remembered about Ash and sprang to his rescue! But, something wasn't right about Ash. His coloring was worse than before, she felt that something needed to be done and quick. She looked to her mother and father for guidance, but they too looked stunned.

She then looked to Alba who had returned from where he was after that conversation with Terry.

Dee looked to Iori who looked satisfied and asked him, "Iori, how do you feel now that your greatest fight is over?"

"It's over.....It's finally over" Shermie said. She could sense what was going on at the Orochi's hideout.


Alba looked over at Shermie " What's finally over?"

Shermie replied " the orochi is dead"


Chirs, Yashiro, Vice and Mature all stood there looking at the demon that had done in the Orochi.

Lily said " I'm giving you all a choice either change your ways and follow me or suffer the same faith as him.

Mature said " What about the contract we made with the Orochi? If something isn't done about that then our powers will go out"

Lily looked over and that the Orochi's body had transformed into a black and red floating ball of energy. " Don't worry...your contract with the Orochi still be in effect even though he's dead." She walked over to the ball of energy.


Ash awaken and said " Sangcun why's it so cold in here?"
