[CoolNard]

**Thx alot kuro =D and I picked on u earlier cuz at tt time u were the only one attacking me lol. Shakura's a nice name for a dragonqueen, i like it. But isn't it supposed to be swiftant questioning Akuma about his stepdragon lol?**

"That fool Swiftant! look at what he has done!!", I hear Tatsu screaming. I feel him getting up on his feet and preparing himself for a fight. I don't understand how he could have recuperated so fast. What about Ichirin and the female warrior? But i don't really care.. I'm too preoccupied with figuring out the source of Nozomi's new-found power.The danger impending on all of us are of a greater cause for concern right now.

As I continue to stare at the dark being, it hit me, no wonder this Akuma had given me the chills.

*Remembering his past*In the Dragon's Lair*

"Look My Graciousness, I have defeated all 4 of the elite dragons - the water dragon, nature dragon, the fire dragon and the lightning dragon. Now there's no one on this earth except you who i can look up to.", i tell her proudly. At that time, I was 17 years old.

"Swiftant.., no matter how powerful you become, no matter how much you exceed your limits, there is all but one being, besides me.., you cannot win against.", Shakura says.

"Oh, and who might that be? I'll prove my strength to you by bringing you his head!", i reply stubbornly.

"Unfortunately Swift, the one I'm talking about isn't a human.. He's the ex-SilverDragon.., Akuma."

"No way.., that's impossible.. You mean to say that you aren't the only SilverDragon?"

"Yes.. I managed to overthrow him by tricking him into getting cursed. Now he's stuck in the body of an ordinary child, never to resurface again.. But.."

"But?", i echo.

"If the child should feel either cornered or extremely enraged, the ex-silverdragon would be able to resurface. And everytime she does, he'll get closer to breaking the seal of the curse, putting the child in which he is repressed.. to suffer a horrible fate. What it is exactly, I'm not too sure myself.. All i do know is that.. if he is ever released, the world will never see the dawn of day again and the world we know will cease to exist.., giving in to pandemonium..."

I nod slightly and walk off. Secretly swearing to myself that i'll become stronger, resurrect the ex-SilverDragon, and somehow defeat him.
*End of past*

“Ha You still wish to FIGHT ME AGAIN? MEE THE ALL POWERFULL SILVER DRAGON AKUMA??? HA HA HA!!!", I finally come to my senses and hear the last of Akuma's words, just before Tatsu engages him.

Thinking:If Tatsu could only weaken Akuma, I know i'd be able to kill him.

After a few minutes of struggling, Akuma finally throws Tatsu onto the ground. Seeing my cue, my eyes glow blood red again and I plunge right at Akuma. I use my multiple image speed technique again. However, without warning, Akuma's aura increases a hundred fold and i'm knocked back.

"HAHAHAHA.. A mere underling of that bitch such as yourself can never dream to kill me!WAHAHA!!", Akuma roars menacingly.

"How DARE you insult My Graciousness.. I, Swiftant the DragonSin, will never forgive you! Brace yourself for HELL!!!", I hollered, getting up and glaring into Akuma's iris.This time, I jump high into the air and convert to my tornado technique. Akuma raises his arms in defence to protect himself from the blow.

*WHOOSH* I collide into Akuma and push him back, alittle. He laughs once more and strikes me with his fists. The force is so enormous that I slam into a burning tree, making it tumble down onto the grass and setting it ablaze as well.

"You are nothing.. but a ghost of the past who uses the bodies of others for your own agendas.", I said as i got up slowly, my head lowered and my eyes concealed in the shadows of my sakkat. "Have you no sense of dignity..", i continue.

"SHUT YOUR GODDAMN TRAP SWIFTANT, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO LECTURE ME?! YOU'RE WRONG BECAUSE YOU'RE WEAK. IF YOU'RE WEAK YOU DIE!!", Akuma shouts, cutting me off.

"This", I briefly reply.

My katars start to cackle with electricity. I raise them into the air and a lightning ball begins to form inbetween them, increasing in size, until it becomes as large as a dragon. It doesn't just stop there, the lightning ball actually becomes a dragon! The limbs and head protrude from the ball of energy, giving it life.

"The ultimate technique, KIMINARI(lightning) EDGE, DRAGONSIZED!!", I suddenly cry and launch a full scale attack at Akuma. The lightning dragon rockets toward him. There's another explosion but this time it fills the air with tonns of electricity, causing a storm to occur out of nowhere. The falling rain extinguishes the anguish fire and soothes my bruise-covered body. I black out.
