No one's POV: 

Accord: We are recorders. Our duty is to observe, not interfere.  But as I continue to record the singularity know as Zero. I begin to find myself with very strange emotions. Also, regarding my new observational target, Murai Tetsu. I believe he may hold the key to fixing this branch and fate.

Murai's POV:

Once we dealt with Five, We flew up and headed for the Cathedral city, dealing with every enemy that came in our way. As we continued to gain ground, They were getting ready to send another convoy are way with a powerful magic circle.

Just then, the enemy airships were in firing range.

Lailah: Hold on tight, Murai.

Murai: Wyverns!

Suddenly a flock of wyverns appeared. They were moving fast and trying to knock us down.

Soldier A: Hurry! Finsh the chant! Those creatures won't hold them off!

Mikhial: Zero! Murai! Those soldiers appear to be casting some sort of magic.

Lailah: It's a channeling circle!

Murai: What's it channeling?

Zero: Not channeling. More like summoning something.

Murai: Then let's deal with this quickly!

Lailah and Mikhail split off so they could deal with the wyverns easily. With just a few blasts of fire and a few stabs and slashes to them, they went down.

Solider B: We're running out of time!

Solider A: Not much longer now!

Murai: We have to stop them!

But it was too late. A huge blast came from the channeling circle and destroyed the airships, along with everyone onboard them. Suddenly, a huge creature, looking like a dragon showed up. It was massive. Best I could tell it was at least ten times the size of Ones dragon.

Murai: Wha?!

Lailah: Foolish humans! They cannot control an Ancient Dragon.

Murai: That's what that monster is.

It then fired a high concentrated energy beam at us. We dodged and re-thinked our strategy. 

Murai: That is some firepower it has! What do we do?

Zero: We need to find a way to defeat it!

Suddenly the creature disappeared and then reappeared behind us.

Murai: Wha?! (He teleported!?)

It tired to blast us again.

Murai: He can fire that continuously?!

Lailah: It's out of control. It's destructive force on it's own. We have to stop it!

Mikhail: He's scary. Really scary...

Zero: Their might be a way.

Murai: Huh? What do you mean Zero.

Zero: ....I mean let our dragons go to full power and aimed at its power source. 

I then remembered when Lailah and Mikhail glowed those two times. That must have been them at their full power.

Murai: Alright! Let's do this.

Zero nodded her head and we se out to deal with the beast. It fired again at us but we were too fast to hit for it. It couldn't focus on both of us. It hard time picking a target. Which allowed one of us to distract it, while the other deals damage. It was working. It was just a mindless destructive creature. The creature was beginning to die from overloading itself with destructive power. Lailah and Mikhail began to glow again and charge up their fire. They then launched them, aiming at the head. They connected and within seconds a huge explosion occurred in the air. The blast wave shook us abit. I almost fell off Lailah. But, she pushed me back up on her back.

Zero: It's over...

Murai: Yeah, Come on.

Zero: Hm?

Murai: You're in a hurry right?

Zero: (Blushing) Y-Yeah...

We then headed for the Cathedral City. It was going to take us more then a few hours just to get their, more like days.

Then I see Mikhail and Zero fly off course.

Murai: Huh? Why are they turning?! Lailah, follow them.

Lailah: On it!

Zero's POV:

Zero: (That's right, follow me Murai.)

(Author note: Just writing this reminded me of a scene from Game of Thrones 8x01. I thought the music would be perfect for this moment.)

Murai's POV:

Mikhail started to dive and we went after them.

Murai: Hey! Zero wait! can't we just relax for a minute?!

They wouldn't stop. Next thing I knew we were gliding straight through a canyon. It was only just us and no one else.

Murai: (What is she doing?) 

Lailah then chased down Mikhail through the canyon. We moved through different ways. It was almost as if Zero wanted me to chase her. To be honest, it was kinda fun. We faked them out and lost them. As we were about to surprise them, Mikhail flew up and accelerated. We chased after them. Then, Mikhail inverted and I couldn't see Zero. Then, I see her falling. I held out my arms and I caught her in my arms. I saw her smile at me.

Murai: *Sighs* You fell on purpose and made me catch you, didn't you?

Zero: *Laughs* I suppose you did okay with that catch.

Murai: It may not go so smoothly next time.

Zero: ... ?!(Blushing)

Murai: What's wrong? You're face is red.

Zero: ..........It's ..... It's Just that Micheal told me the same thing when we got in sticky situations.

Murai: ....I see. 

We then glided for abit through the land.

Murai: Listen Zero.... I may not have known or meet Micheal. But, I don't think he wanted to be alone. (Blushing) O-Or for you to be alone.

Zero: Ah!?

Murai: Kinda like me.

Zero: ...?

Murai:  ...For a long time now, I wanted to be with someone who I could rely on, have my back. But, then I met Lailah, Mikhail and you. It doesn't matter if we're from different worlds or not. We all have purpose to find.

Zero: .......

Zero then held her arms around my neck and closed her eye and smiled at me. We then went to find some place to rest before our final battle with the final Intoner, One.
