Underwater Encounter.

Alexander and Ragnarok appeared above the ocean where the battleship wreck was found. Alexander and Ragnarok floated above the surface as they looked down at the depths.

Alexander turned to Ragnarok with a grin.

"Let's dive."

Alexander began to shift his form followed by Ragnarok. They grew to their full than before, reaching 15 meters in height. When both giant wolves dived down into the ocean, they both used magic to breathe under the water.

'Let's go.'

Alexander and Ragnarok both began to claw and kick diving down the three miles to get to the ship. Their 5 tails began to wave up and down propelling the both of them far faster than before.

At the same time, they both continued to send out pulses of magic around them to make sure no magical creatures were hanging around them. Alexander took in a big breath of water that entered his nose and into his lungs. He breathed it out the water through his mouth filtering the scent he needed like some kind of underwater predator.

'Found it.'

He roared underwater sending an imitation of sonar in all directions before speeding off into the depths. Ragnarok followed right behind him extremely quickly. Both of the descended rapidly into the rapidly darkening sea.

After 10 minutes of diving, they arrived at the two-mile mark, but they both stopped swimming. Something had begun to swim around them thinking it had hidden in the water. Ragnarok began to growl, which sounded like a rumble down in the depths.

Meanwhile, Alexander just drifted without fear. The large creature that had been circling them suddenly felt that these two were not prey, but predators. It decided this hunt was not worth it and tried to swim away.

However, it quickly was noticed that Alexander was not where he had been before.

'Got you.'

From above, Alexander's massive arms wrapped around its neck. The creature that they had been circling just so happened to be a dragon. It was around 7 meters in length, copper colored, with two green finds running down its neck.

It had two large wings and some features to help it swim. The dragon's eyes opened wide at being caught before becoming angry. It twisted its neck and unleashed a blast of lightning intending to shock Alexander off of it.

However, he just tightened his grip around its neck and he also wrapped his tail around its back legs and tail leaving it immobile. He even wrapped his legs around its midsection before beginning to constrict it.

The dragon felt the pressure increase above what it could take. Its scales felt like they would burst, its bones felt like they would break and its blood felt constricted. It felt that it would die here, but Alexander did not plan to kill it.

Compared to the dragons of legend, like the Dragon Kings, Heavenly Dragons, and the Dragon Gods this was only a High-Class Dragon. Strong yes, but it had not yet reached the level of those legendary dragons.

Alexander placed his claw on top of its head and used a magic spell on it.

'Sleep.'

The feeling its consciousness began to slip not allowing it a chance to even enter outrage mode. When the dragon went limp, he unwrapped himself from it except for two tails.

'Come on Ragnarok, I am taking it with us.'

Ragnarok obeyed as the two of them continued the rest of the trip. This time they were not bothered as the Dragon had been the apex predator of this area. When Alexander laid eyes on the Bisarm he had to say it was just as impressive as he had heard.

It was 251 meters long(823 feet), 37 meters wide(120 feet), and weighed 41,000 tons of steel. Alexander noticed that the main guns of the Bismark were heavily damaged and some were missing.

Of course, it was also the resting right of over 1,800 sailors from the crew that died when it sunk. That did not really matter to Alexander, but a single glance showed him that their souls were still roaming the ship.

He could make use of those souls once he animated the ship as a soul would make it work so much better.

'Nothing some Dark Energon and Od can't fix. Ragnarok, get ready to lift.'

The wolf looked over and kicked off to the back end of the ship. Alexander went to the nose of the ship and they both unleashed their magical might. Ragnarok and Alexander used their magic to wrap around the battleship to make sure it was not damaged further.

They both looked at each other and nodded as they lifted causing the ship to rise off the ocean floor. They had to focus as this was not an easy thing to do, but once they had enough room, they went under the ship and began to also move it physically.

Both wolves using magic and might began to raise the mighty Bismarck from its underwater grave. Alexander did have extra weight in the form of a knocked-out dragon, but it was not that big of a deal compared to Bismarck.

And both Ragnarok and Alexander were not alone, the sea itself began to help them. 9 tailed wolves may take magic from nature, but it would still help them like now. It reduced the water pressure on the ship and the waves helped to push it up faster.

They were moving relatively quickly as it only took them around 30 minutes before the massive ship breached the surface. Once Bismarck was out of the water, Alexander and Ragnarok moved away. From the looks of it, the ship would eventually sink again, but this was fine.

"Alright, let's get to work."

Both Ragnarok and Alexander lept onto the ship along with the unconscious dragon. Alexander placed it on the deck as he reverted back into his human form. Meanwhile, Ragnarok shook himself dry and shrunk back down to his regular size.

"Alright, something this big will take far more than what the Baneblades or the Mandators took. So, let's start with this."

Alexander reached out and drew in every soul that still was trapped in Bismarck. Most of them had already lost their personalities so they were easier to work with. 1,800 souls flew into the growing mass in his hands.

Once he was holding the mass of souls he grinned and began to infuse it with massive amounts of Dark Energon and Od cleaning the souls of any lingering attachments. He forced them to combine and compress until he had a soul like Isabel's.

It was only comparable to 40% of the soul he used on Isabel, as she used the soul of a Cadre and an Ultimate Class Devil like Luther. These souls were just random human souls and not clean souls, wandering weak souls.

"This will have to do."

Alexander kneeled down and fused the soul with Bismarck. Once this was done, Alexander wore the Berserker Armor and brought out the Dark Star Saber.

"I, Alexander Canis, brought you back from your underwater grave. I, give you life, now serve, Bismarck."

Alexander raised the Dark Star Saber and stabbed it into the ship. He placed his armored hand on the ship which caused Dark Energon and Od, to flow like a wave. The entire ship was overtaken by a reddish-purple glow as Alexander felt the consciousness begin to form.

Alexander drew his sword from the ship and basked in the growing consciousness. He walked over to the dragon and used telekinesis to cause it to float.

"Come on, let's give him a chance to stretch his legs."

Ragnarok and Alexander flew into the air as they watched the rusty ship begin to cleanse itself and repair it. The Dark Energon and Od flowed through every inch of the ship and began to repair the weakened metal. The coral began to burn off with every pulse of energy.

The damaged guns were repaired, and some new weapons began to form. Alexander watched as the emblem of the Nazis was burned away replaced by the logo of Canis Tech.

The repairs of the ship went by quickly and in less than 15 minutes most of the damage had been repaired. Suddenly a massive roar emerged from the ship and that sound that Alexander found so satisfying.

The sound of moving parts as the ship began to shift into something. Both Alexander and Ragnarok watched as two massive clawed arms emerged followed by two large legs, a tail, and a dinosaur-like face.

The former Bismarck roared to the sky before turning over to Alexander floating above it. It closed its mouth as its purplish red eyes glanced at its master. It bowed its head and spoke.

"My master, what is my name?"

Alexander thought about it and decided on a new name.

"Trypticon. Your name shall from this day be Trypticon."

Trypticon lowered his head and accepted the new name with pride.

"What are your orders, my master."

Alexander thought about it and thought that maybe, Project Nemesis was right in front of him.

"Trypticon. Stay in the sea and began to devour as many sunken warships as you can. Assimilate them and grow your size. Can you do this?"

"Yes my master, I can assimilate their material without fail."

That made Alexander grin.

"Good, go, devour as many as you can. Grow larger, and stronger. Stay out of the way of the humans for now. Now go."

"At once."

Trypticon dived down to the depths to look for as many sunken ships as it could. Once Trypticon got big enough, Alexander planned to feed him a lot of Adamantium and give him a new form. The alternative form of his main warship.

"This was a fruitful endeavor. Now, let's go report on this."

Alexander and Ragnarok teleported back to Tokyo with the dragon. They appeared inside his manufacturing bay, where he laid the dragon down. Feeling his return, Grayfia, Isabel, and Ingrid teleported to his side. Isabel bowed when she saw her master.

"I welcome you back home master."

"Yes, it is good to be back."

As for Grafia and Ingrid, when they saw that he did not have Bismarck with him they thought he failed. Though that did not explain why he had a dragon with him in the first place. Ingrid had never seen one in her life before so this was a new experience.

"Alexander, did you catch a dragon because you failed?"

Alexander shook his head.

"No, I succeeded. Trypticon is currently going to explore the ocean floor devouring ship wreaks to grow larger and stronger. I will not need to make Project Nemesis. Project Nemesis is currently going to make itself."

Hearing that name, Grayfia was curious.

"Trypticon?"

"When I animated the Bismarck, I fused it with the souls of its former sailors in the same way I made Isabel here. I found the solution to my creation's hatred of the living. They are alive, but soulless. How could I not have seen this? I need to infuse each one with a soul so they can follow orders better."

Hearing that made Grayfia nervous.

"Do you plan on massacring humans for their souls?"

Alexander shook his head.

"Nothing so horrendous. At the current moment, all I can do is go to major prisons and take the souls of the truly guilty. Leaving the innocent behind to use as souls for my machines. I much rather use supernatural beings' souls, but I got to be realistic.

I will use what I can get until I can find some evil alien species to use for souls."

Isabel pointed at the dragon.

"Master, do you plan to use that dragon's soul?"

Alexander shook his head as he walked up to the dragon. He leaned close to where he expected its ear to be and he spoke.

"Wake."

He did not back up as the dragon opened its eyes which locked into his icy blues. It instinctively knew that Alexander was the same creature that caught it as he still had the 5 tails behind his back.

"Hello."

It backed off and crouched like a dog before it spoke.

"Why did you capture me?"

Alexander looked it in the eyes and he spoke honestly.

"Dragons are powerful and you did plan to attack us so this is your fault for being weak."

The dragon grit its teeth as it cursed him.

"You bastard, you invaded my territory."

"I just wanted the ship."

Hearing that made it panic.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE SHIP!"

Alexander shrugged.

"I brought it to the surface and animated it to life. Why? Did you hide your treasure inside the ship?"

It paused when he said that which confirmed it.

"Oh, let's just hope Trypticon does not absorb it. If he does, I am sorry. I will repay it if you want. However, for the moment, turn into your human form. I don't want to have to turn into my true form to look down on you."

It did not want that so it complied and transformed back into its human form. No one expected the dragon to actually be female as she turned into a small girl that barely looked 15.

She had long green hair, and copper eyes and she had light skin.

"Oh, you're a child."

She rushed at Alexander and stomped on his foot.

"NO! I am an adult, I am 199 years old."

Alexander had read a book on dragons from Cleria's library so he knew the age ranges.

"So you are, though compared to most dragons you are still a juvenile. What's your name?"

She looked away with crossed arms.

"Koldadormi."

He nodded.

"I see, well welcome to my home. I am Alexander Canis, a 9-tailed Wolf."

When she looked behind him she scoffed.

"You only have 5."

"Well yeah, I am still not fully grown."

If he was already this strong, how strong would a mature, 9-tailed Wolf be? She shook her head to get the horrible image as Alexander at just 5 tails was 15 meters tall.

"I see, so you are like me"

He nodded.

"A little. Anyway, this here is Ingrid, my assistant, and secretary. That is Grayfia, my temporary aid. And this here is Isabel, my servant. As for the wolf, that is my fellow 9-tailed wolf, Ragnarok."

Ingrid waved her hand.

"Hi."

Grayfia merely gave a polite bow while Isabel stayed silent. Koldadormi, greeted them back as she looked around the seemingly empty bay.

"Where are we?"

"Underground. This is where I build my creations. Now to the reason, I took you with me. Dragons are the most powerful beings in this world, and having one at my side would be useful. Plus, it's not like you can say no."

She looked down before she looked up.

"You better get me my hoard back. I spent my whole adult life gathering that."

Alexander wanted to say that she was barely an adult as in dragon terms she was still a teenager. He closed his eyes and got in contact with Trypticon who was in the process of eating a shit wreck he found already.

He devoured the ship and then the Dark Energon and Od in his body would assimilate it into his body to grow his size.

'Trypticon.'

Trypticon stopped as the voice of his master entered his mind.

'My master, what is it you seek from me?'

'When you first transformed did you feel some kind of treasure?'

Trypticon paused and searched his system before finding a large pile of pearls, gold, coral, and other trinkets. Tripticon had not assimilated the material as his systems did not register it as useful.

'Yes, I found such a thing. Shall I purge it from my body?'

'No, keep it safe, and don't destroy anything from it. Just keep it on you.'

'Affirmative.'

Alexander cut the connection and turned to Koldadormi who was looking at him hopefully.

"Seems Trypticon has not eaten, purged, or damaged your hoard."

She sighed in relief.

"Can I have it back?"

Alexander thought about it.

"I will give you half. The other half I will keep for the moment. Alright?"

"Yes."

Alexander grinned as now he had Isabel, a powerful biomechanical being, Trypticon, and now Koldadormi. Plus he also had an army of Baneblades and Mandators.

'10 years, in those 10 years I will take over Tokyo and Japan. Though, the Shinto Gods won't like it. I will have to be ready to wage a war and the Great King Faction may just secede. I will get my souls during that time.'
