Killing Them With Ryoko

"Good kill Ryoko."

"Good hits Vance."

The pair exchanged banter as they fought. Vance, who had gotten close too the mage, had punched him on the temple with all his might, killing him.

"I thought you said they were stronger than you. Why are they so weak?"

"I guess that's only if you let them start the attack? Or if they're alone?"

"Whatever the case is, might as well finish them all now."

Saying this, Vance grabbed his sword of shadows and dashed at the last three. He created a series of daggers which he threw into the air. Once they were in the air, he used magic to maneuver them. They flew at the three remaining dragons, who attempted to dodge. However, while dodging, they gave an opportunity to Vance, who cleanly cut off the head of one of them. The daggers Vance was manipulating, killed another. And the last one was cut in two by Ryoko's claws.

"Mm, it was a pretty good fight, but it could have been better."

"I could have sworn all of them were stronger than me."

"Even if they were, I could have still beaten them. Now moving on from that. Ryoko, do you know what they needed you for?"

"No, it could have been for anything."

"Well that's just great, first I gotta protect Hope and Jess's kingdom from a war, now there's Dragon politics? What the hell has been going on recently."

"Vance, the way you said that made it sound like you plan on getting involved."

"Of course I do. First, you and me are friends now, so I'm not letting them just kidnap you. Second, what is life without a little bit of a challenge. Plus, a dragon kingdom sounds pretty cool. So absolutely I am getting involved."

Hearing Vance say this, Ryoko looked touched and amused.

"Well if you insist, then I guess it's okay for you to get involved in this. Just don't regret it."

"How could I? The chances of me or the people I care about really getting hurt is almost zero. And I'm still working on lowering that chance so I think we're good. But I think first up comes the war I mentioned."

"A human war eh? I would like to see this."

"Well if you want to come back to my base while I prepare for war, you're going to need to turn into your human form. You got that?"

"Of course Vance."

Ryoko then began transforming into her Human Form.
