Black dragon

Everyone turned towards the direction Shia was looking, and saw a dragon with scales as black as night approaching at seemingly impossible speeds. Aiko and the students started getting scared of the fearsome creature, while Hajime narrowed his eyes. Both Yue and Shia got into battle ready stances, while Anne was stunned at seeing a real dragon and Rias sent Alex an amused look. Alex slowly walked towards the side of Zenith that the dragon was approaching, and said,

"I'll deal with the pest, Rias take command of Zenith and keep looking for Will." Rias nodded in affirmation while everyone else looked at Alex with complicated expressions. At the side of the ship Alex said,

"It's been a while since I did this." And suddenly red scales sprouted all over his body and tail while wings grew out his back and his hands turned to claws. With a set of horns sticking up from his head to complete the look, everyone besides Rias stared at Alex using his draconian form for the first time since coming to Tortus, as his wings spread open before he took flight to meet the dragon head on. Seemingly sensing the threat approaching it instead, the dragon opened its mouth and prepared to fire a massive energy attack at both Alex and Zenith behind him. Alex raised both his hands and as the attack came upon him he formed a sphere of ki in his hands, resulting in a massive explosion in the sky as the energies collided.

"It's time to get out of here, let's go Zenith!" Rias shouted as the massive ship turned the other way to leave behind Alex and the dragon. Aiko ran to Rias with the other students right behind her while demanding,

"I-is that ok?! We just left him there alone with a dragon!" Rias smirked and said,

"In our world he's referred to as the 'Dragon Emperor', if he can't face that dragon with relative ease then he'll bring shame to his own name. We should instead focus on finding Will while Alex deals with the dragon, the fact that such a beast is here means something big must be happening." Aiko and the rest were unable to argue back, while Hajime said while observing the surroundings,

"Though I haven't seen that dragon form before, he's also a super Saiyan so I doubt dealing with that dragon will be too much trouble for him." Right after he said that however Hajime heard one of the guys, Tamai, mutter to the others behind him,

"Poor Hajime, so messed up from the abyss he can't see fact from fiction." Without even looking back Hajime pointed donner and pulled the trigger to shoot Tamai with a nonlethal rubber bullet in the forehead. While he was writhing on the ground Hajime said with irritation,

"I fought him before and he's not from Tortus just like us, when I say he's a super Saiyan I mean he's a literal super Saiyan." Hajime's words made the rest of his classmates hesitate, and regard Alex a bit differently if he was in fact a super saiyan, even if they weren't otaku's like Hajime for the most part they knew what saiyan's were. While they were trying to digest this new information Hajime turned his attention back to searching, while Rias, Yue, and Shia were debating on asking him about saiyan's since he seemed to know about them. While the sounds of combat grew silent behind them as they got farther away, the group continued looking for signs of Will's company. Soon Hajime said,

"There!" And they came across an area where the earth was torn up and several items were laying around after being abandoned. They followed the trail of destruction until they found a waterfall.

"I can sense someone behind it, so we need to go behind the waterfall." At his words Yue raised a hand and without a word the massive amount of water split to allow them to enter without even getting a drop in them. Rias stayed on Zenith while Hajime led the group to find the survivor, who was unconscious on the cave floor.

"Let's get him on the ship so we can start heading back before he wakes up." Aiko suggested. Hajime nodded as then they would also be able to treat any issues better as well. After returning to the ship Rias told them,

"We're going straight back to Ul, I got a message from Alex and he said to go around and return without him." Aiko looked worried and asked,

"Is that dragon really giving him so much trouble?" Rias shook her head before sighing and explained,

"He told me in the message he wants to turn it into his pet, so it'll take a while longer for him to finish the fight." No one knew how to react to that, as they never figured Alex would apparently try to tame the dragon he was fighting. Without anymore words the group turned the ship around and started heading back to Ul, while Aiko was worried that even now they found no trace of her missing student.

***

Alex had a smirk on his face as he went toe to toe with the giant dragon. After their initial clash he had engaged it several times to get a feel for its strength, and now had a general idea of how strong it was.

<So this is a dragon of this world? At least they do not shame the race of dragons>

Ddraig said appreciably, as he was curious about the dragons he'd see in other worlds. The only complaint he had was how it seemed more like a wild beast, but Alex assured him that wasn't the case. After clashing a bit more he then received a message from Rias that they may have found Will behind a waterfall, and were about to head back to Ul. He told her he intended to stay with the dragon for bit longer to tame it, and that they should go on ahead. After that Alex muttered,

"I suppose I shouldn't drag this on for much longer." And decided to start getting serious against it. The dragon turned towards him with a gaze filled with hate, as this little fly refused to die. Alex smirked before he disappeared, and reappeared above the dragon. 'Let's see how much weight you can hold' Alex thought to himself, before using his gravity manipulation to increase his weight, and plummeted to the dragons back. When the force of several tons impacted it's back the dragon was unable to withstand it was sent flying to the ground so hard that a crater formed.

The dragon quickly climbed out of the crater to look for this annoying enemy, only to find Alex standing there waiting for it while smirking. This enraged the dragon more, and caused it to lunge at him with bloodthirsty fury. What followed was a one sided thrashing as Alex mercilessly beat the dragon. Since he didn't intend to kill it he aimed for causing it the most pain, aiming for the eyes, teeth, wing joints, and inner thighs. Soon the dragon was standing there panting as a little blood dribbled from it mouth, and it finally realized it might not win against this enemy. So it did what any dragon would do in this situation, it laid down to take a nap. Alex watched as the dragon laid down and instantly started snoring, before he released his draconian transformation and grinned.

<I don't know what to say, I've seen dragons fight to the death or very rarely flee if they can't win a fight. This however is the first time I've seen a dragon take a nap because it was losing a fight.>

'It's race can restore their strength and heal their wounds quickly just by sleeping, in fact their skin can be considered impenetrable when they sleep. There's only one weakness when they're asleep but it's famous because it's a sure fire way to anger a ... dragon... GOD DAMMIT!' Alex swore internally as he realized he was missing an important item at the moment, Hajime's Bunker Pile. It was a giant metal stake that was designed to penetrate even the hardest of substances when powered by the attachment. Alex intended to borrow it when he fought the dragon, but he forgot about it when he sent them ahead. Alex then started trying to think of an alternative, as he couldn't go and get it or ask them to come back just to use it for that. Alex almost considered using the staff Wukong gave him, but it wasn't big enough for what he wanted to use it for, and he didn't want to use something his teacher gave him for that.

"Well dammit!" Alex said as he walked towards the weak spot on the dragon, while also rolling up his sleeve on his right arm. Ddraig just learned what the weak spot was from Alex's thoughts and he instantly heard the dragon cringe from the thought, while even Lauren was groaning in the background. Alex got ready and pulled his arm back as if getting ready for a punch, before thrusting it forward and sinking it past the elbow into the wrinkled little hole at the base of the dragon's tail.
