Across the city ruins, hundreds of mecha swarmed through the streets searching for their prey. Amidst the tide of iron, Kevin stood tall like a tower. "Master, our vanguard has breached the base and engaged Durandal." Jackal spoke to Kevin through commlink. "What about HoV and HoD?" Asked Kevin. "Not clear. The search is ongoing." "Suppress Durandal. I'll handle HoV and HoD." "As you wish." Kevin closed his eyes to take in the whispering of the wind. Honkai energy within a hundred miles began to whirl and flow towards him. There were strong flows and weak flows, but none of a Herrscher's energy level. But all of a sudden, a tiny disturbance caught his attention. It came and went instantly, but it couldn't escape Kevin's grasp. But then Kevin felt another presence. Something he has not felt for many millennia.

Kevin opened his eyes and glanced at the wrecked skyscraper miles apart. Behind the torn walls, his eyes met that of a girl, a boy, and a dragon. "Found them."

Before we had to escape, we had to destroy some of the mecha so we can escape. Toriyama was fighting with us. He breathed elements from his mouth, destroyed mochas with his tail, used his claws, blew mechas away with his wings, and used special powers too. This was feeling like "The Legend of Spyro" where Spyro, Sparx, and Cinder were with Ignitus. Only Kiana and I were not dragons.

"Did he see us at that moment?" Asked Kiana. "It's most likely, yes." I answered. "That's impossible... Probably a coincidence." "It's not. He probably can sense energy from far away like most Anime characters able to sense energies of others from really far away." "Anyway... We should really get out of here quick."

We were able to destroy all the mochas around us and now had the time to escape. "Phew, it's pretty far from the base now. I bet he didn't even see us. It's just me overreacting." Said Kiana. "I don't think so. He has a high sense of sensing energy from far away." I said. "Kevin, the one who kept troubling me in my dreams. Fu Hua said he's dangerous. Better stay away from him. Cross these ruins and we're out of the city..." "Where do you think you're going?" "What! You! Why are you here?" Kiana's body froze instantly without even the slightest hint of trembling. Kevin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was now where we were. The man's eyes woke up an ancient fear written in her genes. It's a look of a predator seeing its prey.

"Both of you, get behind me." Toriyama ordered us. "Yes sir." I grabbed Kiana's hand and got behind the dragon. Then I brought out the Dragon Sword and the Dragon Shield and set them to Zeroth Power incase Kevin tried to attack us.

Toriyama walked up to the man and Kevin did the same thing till they stopped once they were close enough. The Dragon and the man faced each other. "Kevin." "Toriyama." There was silence for a few seconds till the dragon broke the silence.

"It's been many millennia, old friend." Said Kevin "Like wise, old friend." Said Toriyama. "...You and the original HoD trained the boy well. But not well enough to keep up with me. Which makes me ask why you are helping the HoV escape." "Because the original HoV is inside of this girl and caused the eruption, not her." "I really don't care if the original HoV is inside of that girl. Someone has to put her down before it's too late." "Schicksal turned her into a slave of the Honkai. A slave that me and my champion are liberating." As the old friends spoke, I thought to myself. 'Kevin beat me in the Sea of Quanta. He's strong like Jiren from "Dragon Ball Super." If I had Goku's Ultra Instinct I would be able to keep up with him. But that doesn't exist.'

"Are you here... to kill me?" Asked Kiana. The man didn't answer. Kevin brought out Might of An-Utu the Zeroth Power form of the Judgement of Shamash. It made Kiana and I shocked. Kevin had Kiana's father's weapon. Then Kevin rushed past Toriyama. Kiana only felt hot flames rushing towards her chest. The ablaze blade pointed to her heart with ruthless precision. And it went in. But then I blocked it with the Dragon Shield with help from the Dragon Sword. Then I pushed him back. Toriyama got infant of us again, ready to defend us. All of a sudden, Phoenix feathers appeared and a glowing figure. "Fenghuang Down..." Said Kevin. Then the figure revealed to be Fu Hua. "Hua, long time no see." "Kevin, stop!" Said Fu Hua.

"Ah... Ah... Fu Hua..." Said Kiana. "Fu Hua." I said. "Kiana, Patrick, run! Don't look back. Toriyama, get them out of here." Said Fu Hua. "What..." Asked Kiana. "I wanted to keep you both company longer, but it's time to say goodbye now." "Fu Hua, no...!" "Remember our promise we made in Arc City? Remember what you said? I'll stall him as long as I can. Toriyama will get you and Patrick out of here. Run, now!" "..." "Die here and your promise to change the world will die with you too. Do what you must. It's your destiny."

I put my hand on Kiana's shoulder. "She's right. Now is the time to return to Mei and the others. Toriyama-sama will fly us out of here. We have to go now." I said. "Fu Hua... I know... Sorry..." "Toriyama, old friend. Get them as far away as you can." Fu Hua said to Toriyama. "I will. Now both of you, get on my back." Torihama ordered us.

Kiana shut down her eye lids and got on the Guardian Dragon's back with me. Then he took off flying as fast as he can. We did not look back. We soon became a speck in the sand storm, and then vanished entirely. "Farewell, Kiana. Farewell, Patrick... And farewell to you too, Toriyama..."

"You've changed Hua." Said Kevin. "Perhaps..." Said Fu Hua. "You know it. Fenghuang Down cannot disturb my senses." Fu Hua took a careful step forward and reached out her hands with palms facing up. This instant, a shadow flashed in the man's cold eyes.

50000 year ago, she stood firmly beside him through countless battles. Behind Fu Hua appeared her previous forms/battlesuits which turned into glowing energy. "I do not intend to disturb your senses. I only wish to show you everything I have endured..." Then she glowed too. "And... my state of mind."

Somewhere else: Toriyama flew over the ruins to get us far away from Kevin and Schicksal. Kiana was breathing wildly in rage. Toriyama and I seemed to notice that. A giant beast made of iron fired at us, which then became her punching bag for the girl to vent out her anger. "Don't even think about jumping off. We have to escape." I said. "Shut up! Let me at them!" Kiana jumped off and began smashing the mecha. "Dam***! Dam***!" Her overwhelmingly attacks were unstoppable yet meaningless. Because she clearly knew in her heart that she was nothing but a weak runaway at the moment. And a coward refusing to return to her friends and family like I said myself.

Toriyama and I landed then I rushed in and punched away another mecha with my bare fist. But more came, they were targeting Kiana. "Leave me alone!!!" Kiana screamed while activating her Neko-Charm and smashing the mechas away. Then she kept smashing down on one Mecha with one of her energy cat paws. "Now she's really angry." I said while pulling out the Dragon Sword and had to help Kiana while Toriyama boasted fire from his mouth destroying the mechas.

But then a Death Web appeared after we destroyed all the mechas. "Die!!!" Kiana shouted holding nothing back now wanting to kill the death web. I wanted to help her but Toriyama stopped me as we let Kiana finish off the death web.

With a furious roar, a storm of Honkai energy swept over and devoured the mecha. Having burst out her energy, Kiana sat on the ground gasping violently. The venting cooled her down slightly, but alongside the calmness came more confusion and pain.

I put away my weapons while I walked up to her as she stood up. "Kiana?" I asked only to get embraced by the girl. She started to cry. She didn't want to let go of me. I was her only guardian left now with Toriyama by our side. She cried into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her to ease her. "Please... don't let me go... I never want to get captured by Schicksal ever again..." Kiana said while she continued to cry. "...I won't ever let you go... we have to keep going... or else we'll let the enemy win again..." I said.

She finally stopped crying and looked into my face. We looked to the horizon where the sand has mudded the sky. She had no choice. Keep moving, or the sand would bury us. She separated me and went to Toriyama.

"Just get me out of here Mr. Guardian Dragon. I don't want to look back." Said Kiana. We got back on then the Dragon took off again and flew out of the ruins faster than before to ensure that Schicksal and World Serpent don't catch up to us.
