Chapter 7

 

“You've learned much in these past months.”

Ash smiled.

Destiny's amulet and Hope's locket clinked softly on his chest. They were both a part of him.

It was right that way.

“Hai…”

They would fly and they would succeed and it _would_ work!

He watched as Lance's wings appeared in a flash of silver and she gripped the Ice Blade tightly in her hands. < Do not let your guard down now. >

He nodded, smiling as he felt the transformation to Destiny happen, before Destiny stood back-to-back with her. < I know. >

Waiting…

If he showed up, it would be… now.

 

A portal in time tore itself open, what looked like living lava spewing forth in attack mode.

< Lava demon? >

< Something like that… > Lance said, as she used Surf. It barely touched the monster.

Ash winced. “Thunder!”

His attack had even less effect. Heat was creating an air shield, much like the one Blaine's magmar had used…

A Hydro Pump smashed into it, but the water dissolved before getting near the monster.

< See? >

Lance chanted softly, as Rain Dance began. * Be careful, Ash… *

 

“Dark Thunder!”

There it was now, time to tap dark magic… and if that failed, light…

 

Lance swung her Ice Blade in a wide arc, watching as a train of glittering ice crystals followed, a few embedding into the lava before they melted.

It took longer though… very well…

Time for the Dragon Dance…

 

Ash's eyes widened as Lance began the dancing, blades shimmering and glittering and attacking swiftly.

Even the lava demon was hurt.

“Lance!”
“Shh!” Lance said, waving him off despite her bleeding arm. “Don't heal me!”

“What?!”

“How else am I supposed to use Curse of Dragon's blood?”

“… Oh.”

“First though, I need you to immobilize it or the attack won't hit.”

Destiny nodded as he dived in, wings glinting, crimson lightning arcing over his fingertips as he used Dark Lightning again, followed by…

Very good, Eternal Flood…

The demon thrashed, even though much of the water was evaporating, the rest was dealing heavy damage.

This attack did not cease under the opponent was dead. Useful.

Like Eternal other attacks…

“Curse of Dragon's Blood - Dragon strike!”

“Not chain destruction?” He asked, as air tore the lava demon apart.

“No.”

“Why?”

“I decided I didn't want to kill everything.” Lance said with a smirk.

“Chain Destruction kills everything?”

“Well, I normally don't use it if there's only one opponent…”

“I see.”

Ash switched back to his self, then let Hope take over and heal the timeline. It was rather quick work.

Still… it had been easier.

Maybe his magic was coming back.

That would save time, right? And it wasn't as if he hadn't trained before in the past…

 

“So now what?”
“Now,” Lance said, cutting talks with Lugia, “We live.”

“I thought…”

“So did I, but apparently it was not so hard.”

Ash hugged her tightly. “I'm glad its over.”

“Yes.”

 

And… they lived happily ever after because the plotbunny just keeled over with a heart attack.
