ShoRyu gasped.ShoKouziRyu rose as a spirit,black and nightmarish,as it sunk into the ground.

ShoKouziRyu:"I shall see you three soon...no Jigoku..."

ShoRyu growled as he waved at the dirt,forgetting it was only a Spirit.He was glad Mizuki had shrunk the Soul-Sucking sword...for this Soul was too evil to be obtained.Which of course is why the duo didn`t obtain the soul themselves.They turned to Taceus.

ShinRyu:>He must be none other than of the Gods to have destroyed the Black Dragon...<

ShoRyu:>But if he just came and destroyed him,he could have just saw a Dragon,and could defeat us just as easy.Keep your distance,alright?<

ShinRyu:>Wouldn`t that be showing fear that I do not even possess?<

ShoRyu:>No,just using precautions...We do not know of these Gods,and they do not know the Philosophy of Ryukenshin,or the actual four Gods and the 10 Earth Guardians.We do not know this Suko,or if they despise our kind like the humans.So keep your distance,ne?!<

ShinRyu:>Yes,alright.<

Mizuki spun her Nunchaku around,then held them under her arm,looking at the charred remains of ShoKouziRyu.Then she looked at ShoRyu and ShinRyu.

Mizuki:"Can you guys tell if he`s dead?"

ShoRyu:"Hai,his Spirit floated down to meet Aku a few moments ago."

ShinRyu:"But what was disturbing was that he stated-"

ShoRyu quickly tapped the ground with his finger and rushed low-powered lightning at ShinRyu.ShinRyu jumped and looked at ShoRyu.ShinRyu gasped.

ShinRyu:"That...Well...look,there`s Corona,back with the food!"

Sure enough,there was Corona,dragging a male deer with extremely large antlers and tusks.Corona,of course,seemed weak and had a few cuts without a whole pack to back her up with,but managed pretty well on its own.Shin acted as if he forgot Mizuki`s question and went over to the deer,thinking of something and sending his thoughts to the Wolf.Corona barked,as if saying "You`re welcome".

ShoRyu:"If you are going back to your quest and finally get to Duraga,you may go,but we Dragons have a much higher metabolism than you humans.We must eat...surprised we stayed concious this long.Thank you,Corona,this Encant Deer should do."

Corona started nosing into the enourmous deer and nibbling on it.ShinRyu was about to eat some himself,but noticed Lady Mizuki and thought it would seem less gruesome to eat it as a Tiger,so he and ShoRyu morphed.The three started to eat,and ShoRyu looked at Mizuki,speaking in a rough,foreign,yet inhuman voice.

ShoRyu:"Are you joining us,Lady Mizuki?"

Mizuki:"Well...uhh...I`m not sure.It might take a long time for me to cook mine-"

ShinRyu glanced hard in front of him and a fire jumped out of the ground.The fire changed from green to blue and dark red,a small inferno.

ShinRyu:"Dragon Fire is close to Lava temperatures.Should be done in a few seconds."

ShoRyu snapped the leg off from its joint and threw it into the fire.It started noticeably cooking until it was brownish.ShinRyu stared at the fire again and it vanished.He blinked rapidly and his pupils disappeared.

ShinRyu:"Flashback...grrrrrr....!"

ShoRyu,Corona,and ShinRyu raised their heads in the distance.

ShoRyu:"There`s is a spirit who has just vanished from the North...and someone`s life force draining.Even Corona can feel it with her ghost sense."

Corona barked a few times and growled.Tudeki looked toward the North.

Tudeki:"It must be Zegar...Let us go there.But first,to get this over with,have you thought about fusing with me yet,Jopia?With long thought?"

Jopia:"..."
