Battle end.

The terrain was dyed with the color red. Cracks on every part of its earth's surface. It was like a demon's residence, feeding on the blood and flesh of every creature that passed.

Standing like a mountain with a giant club in hand, was Big Mom; who else would wield such a graceful weapon other than her?

Up above, a few feets away from Big Mom was a dragon bearing an aghast expression.

Big Mom, currently had a different glow, the tattoo on her flesh expanded as time passed by, giving Big Mom an ancient look.

"W-what…?!"

Not caring about what he wanted to say, Big Mom moved toward him with great speed, her club moving before her body.

Roarrrr!

An agonizing roar resounded in the vicinity as Big Mom club collided with the dragon scale, taking most of them off, and exposing his uncovered flesh.

Using an arm, she caught the dragon's head, tightening her grip as she took him to the ground with great velocity.

Shrieking, it helplessly struggled to set itself free from Big Mom's grip which despite her palm being smaller than his head could grip it with such force that her fingers slowly dug through his skull.

"Roarrrr!"

"Ahhh!"

Both human and dragon wailed as they struggled to accomplish their goals. The dragon to escape while Big Mom to keep her advantage in the current battle.

Using its tail to hit Big Mom relentlessly in an attempt to weaken her grip on him. 

To his dismay, she endured the pain, making sure that the dragon's head collided with the earth's surface.

Boom

She punched out, caving the dragon's skull deeper and deeper with increasing velocity.

"Roarrrrr!"

Something strange happened, the dragon was now replaced by a humanoid figure with horns protruding from his head.

"Finally decided to transform?" Big Mom said, eyeing the creature who now stood in the distance.

"We are back to this point again," said the humanoid figure, standing completely naked.

Having a leer look on her face, she scrutinized him from head to toe licking her lips. "I would have invited you over… too bad, the present situation doesn't permit such intimacy."

Twitch

"Are those your last words?" He inquired, glaring at Big Mom.

"Not really," taking in deep breaths. "Though, I'm sure this will be fun."

Grinning, she performed small exercises, producing cracking sounds.

Jogging at one spot, she suddenly moved to the dragon aka Ignatius with much higher velocity, twisting her body to land a down-kick.

Ignatius replied by raising his hands to defend against her kick. Scales appeared on his skin for a brief moment.

Moving sideways, he aimed his arm for Big Mom's head, landing a successive blow that sent her flying km away.

Landing further from him, Big Mom stood up slowly.

"It seems it all ends here," Big Mom said as she looked up.

Ignatius was currently back in his dragon form, his body emanating an Incredulous heat.

"It's time to say goodbye," Ignatius said as his nostrils flared. "I wish you luck in your endeavors."

Saying these last words, reddish liquid sipped from the earth, pulverizing every physical quantity on its part.

Not falling behind, Big Mom's aura increased, followed by her size, then her weapon. The arcane drawings on her body covered a larger area. Not leaving her eyes out of the equation.

Krink

Moving at an incredible speed toward each other, they collided in the middle of the battlefield, delivering their strongest attacks.

Pleasurable death.

Inferno.

"Big Mom!!!" Yelled a male dressed in hanfu-style clothing.

"What?!!" Big Mom yelled, glaring at the male.

"I'll surely defeat you and discover your secrets!" He yelled, pointing his finger at Big Mom.

"Dragons are prideful creatures, ain't they?" Big Mom said, rubbing her forehead in distress.

"H-hey… don't insult my race," he said in exasperation.

"I would have loved to make you part of my harem," Big Mom said as she shook her head.

Turning, she met the gaze of an old man, who smiled at her sheepishly. "Too bad, he says no."

____________

"Ignatius!!!"

Feeling his body jerk to and fro, he opened his eyes in surprise.

"Huh?!"

"Lost in thought?" Asked a feminine voice from beside him.

Turning slowly, he caught sight of a female he defined as perfect.

The only thing covering her bare chest was her long hair.

"Kori?!" 

"Hmmm? You are acting strange… are you hiding something?" She asked, squinting her eyes.

"No!!!" He replied in a rush. "Just a minor headache."

"If you say so," she shrugged, looking off into the distance. "How long?"

"Ehhh?!" Ignatius asked, not getting her point.

"How long do we keep this up?" She said in a sober tone. "Running, hiding, and all the other stuff we've been doing… sometimes I doubt if we made the right choice."

"Don't say that!" Ignatius placed a hand on her bare shoulder, looking into her eyes. "We'll get through all the problems."

Ignatius POV.

Though I could feel, see, and hear everything as if I was the one doing everything. But no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get control of my actions.

The scene wasn't unfamiliar anyway, it was similar to one of our hideouts back then.

We usually come here to soak in the spring, relishing the serene feeling it gave to our racing hearts… whenever we came here, my only thought was to hold Kori in a tight embrace as we merged, intimately.

There is still a chance that knowing what will happen if she got pregnant, would…

"Dad?"

Hearing the soft voice, I jerked my head in that direction yearning to meet whoever called me.

"It's too late," Kori said as she rubbed her hands on Ignatius' chest. "We can only watch."

"But…"

"No buts," she said, placing a finger on Ignatius' lip. "It won't help… accepting is the only way forward."

"No! Our child won't survive in such a cruel world. It needs me," Ignatius said, struggling to get out of his current position.

___________

Roarrrr.

With a roar, Ignatius charged up more on the outside, releasing everything he got within him. Burning his lifespan, to gain more power.

________

"You're just hurting yourself."

Slowly he felt his body losing weight.

"I just wanted to protect our offspring," Ignatius said as tears rolled from his eyes.

Hugging the crying man from behind, Kori smiled. "Don't worry."

Bending her head, she gave him a deep kiss to which he replied in kind, letting go of all his insecurities. 

Trusting the words of his supposed wife. After all, he felt he couldn't do much… That's what destiny is.
