The two armies stood opposite each other.

One was the dragons who saw humans as their food and wanted to kill them all.

They killed almost all the humans in Alakatisia and were now trying to kill all humans in Ishgar.

The other side was the ones who lived in harmony with humans and wanted to protect their bonds with humans.

Their wings filled the air and blackened the sun.

Roars could be heard anywhere.

 Belserion, Challot, and Emrissen were at the front of the army and were watching the enemy army.

“I knew they were many, but this number is just ridiculous.” Said Challot.

“Tell me about it. Looks like almost every dragon from Alakatisia is here.” Said Emrissen.

“Does our name mean anything anymore? I mean our name used to make every normal dragon shudder in fear.” said Challot while remembering her and Emrissen´s past.

“Could you two please be more serious or are you unaware that they outnumber us by 2 times? And besides, your names have still quite the impact, after all the part of ishgar´s dragons who also see humans as the food didn´t come because they fear you two.” Yelled an annoyed Belserion.

“But the fact that we are outnumbered like that is what makes it so interesting. Makes me feel like the old days. What do you say Emrissen, shall we make them remember why they feared us?”

“To think I would be able to see the twin calamities in action again, what a dark day indeed.”

“If it isn´t the king of all fire dragons himself. It’s been a while since we last saw you Igneel.” Said Emrissen.

“We had no choice. We had to participate because this is the only way to ensure their safety.” Said Challot.

Igneel was surprised by Challot´s answer, they would never care for someone else in the past.

 (They really changed. What happened that would change them so much.)

“I can understand your reaction Igneel. I was shocked at the beginning as well, but once you meet them you will understand.” Said Belserion.

“Meeting who?”

“Their children and Emrissen´s husband of course.”

“What? When? How? Are you telling me that there are mini versions of them running around?”

“They aren´t that bad and not what you would expect.”

“If you two are finished, I believe the fight is beginning.” Said an annoyed Emrissen.

And indeed, both sides were ready to make the first move and it didn´t take long before someone made the first move.

Surprisingly, it wasn´t Challot and or Emrissen, but an alakatisian dragon with the name of Acnologia.

He rushed at the ishgaren dragons, only to be interrupted by Challot and Emrissen and as three began to fight, both sides charged at each other.

Both on the ground and in the air, dragons could be seen fighting.

In their fighting, they destroyed the land around them, mountains crumbled, the ground burned to cinders and lakes evaporated.

The cry of dying and raging dragons filled the earth as they fought mostly in brutal duels.

Only a part of the Ishgar dragons is grouped into groups of four.

Igneel and Belserion were among them.

Emrissen and Challot were having a hard time with Acnologia, they were apparently rustier than they thought, besides the point that both were missing an arm and aren´t too familiar with it in battle.

But Acnologia became cocky with the fact that he was suppressing the twin calamities and Challot and Emrissen were waiting for the moment he would make a mistake.

The battle on the other hand was going terrible for the Ishgar dragons because the difference in numbers was just too great.

To make matters worse, was that the fact that Acnologia was holding back both Challot and Emrissen gave the other side a great boost in mmoraleanmorale and the younger dragons wanted to follow Acnologias example.

Both Belserion and Igneel were cursing Challot and Emrissen, normally they would together destroy someone like him in minutes.

However, it didn´t take long before Acnologia made a mistake, by letting its guard down and Challot and Emrissen immediately took the chance and punished Acnologia.

Their attacks were swift but brutal and jet both were avoiding vital points.

Belserion and Igneel were wondering why they didn´t finish him.

Soon Acnologia was covered with wounds and was barely alive.

“Now then looks like we finally got used a little to fighting with only one arm. I must admit we were rustier than we thought and because of that, we didn´t take you seriously enough which is why you were able to suppress us. Although you became quite cocky and became the perfect punching back for us.” Said Challot with a diabolic smile on her face, that gave Acnologia, Belserion, and Igneel chills.

Acnologia decided to run away with everything he has, but the two were not going to let him go that easily.

Before they could get to him, however, a group of around 50 dragons got between the two and blocked their paths.

Changing their targets to the group of enemy dragons Challot and Emrissen rushed into the group and what followed was a slaughter.

Challot used her claws to cut the enemy´s throats and pieced their hearts and lungs.

Emrissen crushed her enemy’s heads and inner organs.

It took around 5 minutes before they killed every single one of them and the ground was covered with corpses and Challot and Emrissen were more crimson than their normal color.

Afterward, the two caused havoc on the enemy and became a nightmare for the enemy dragons.

But the difference in numbers was still too great and a few powerful dragons grouped and tried to deal with Challot and Emrissen.

Which forced the two to retreat behind their lines and wait for a good opportunity to strike.

The battle continued for the entire day and night and only at the dawn of the next day did they stop.

All dragons were exhausted and wounded, there was no dragon without a wound.

Both sides agreed to retread and continue on another day.

Both sides wanted to take care of their wounded and rest.

The ground was filled with corpses and the surrounding area was devastated.

The casualties on both sides were severe, but the human-hating side had, thanks to mostly Challot and Emrissen and the fact that ishgar´s dragons were better organized, way more casualties than Ishgar.

Belserion, Challot, and Emrissen just wanted to sleep when they came back to Dragnof.

But they still went to Vulcan and Irene, but before going, Challot and Emrissen transformed into their human forms.

Irene was at the courtyard and working at the flowerbed and Vulcan was at his work.

When Vulcan saw Emrissen, he run to his wife and hugged her deeply.

Although he knew how powerful they are, he was still deeply worried.

Meanwhile, Belserion arrived at the courtyard where Irene was.

She didn´t look up, not because she wasn´t happy or worried, but because she knew what he was about to say.

“We will lose.”

Hello there, thank you for readyng and i hope you enjoed it. It took forever wrighting this and i don´t know why. For those who are confused about the other Acnologia, it was stated that the person we know as Acnologia took the name from a dragon he killed, who also had the name of Acnologia and who was one of the dragons who destroyed his vilage.

Any away, i will see next Chapter, bye.
