He could feel the muscle and sinew in his wound tearing, but still higher and higher he climbed.

The weight of the Behemoth King was near as makes no difference the same as his own. He wrapped his arms about the Behemoth and beat his wings furiously. He’d chosen her to be his master and he would not let her down. The pain was terrible but Bahamut was nothing if not determined. The dragon let out an ear-shattering shriek. She was deeply worried for her companion. As the flying predator released his energy, the Behemoth was in motion.īahamut came clear of the debris field just in time to be skewered in the shoulder by the jumping colossus. The Behemoth’s ploy did the dragon no damage but Fang, Lightning, and Bahamut soon learned that that wasn’t the point of the exercise. The resulting conflagration blasted the boulders into gravel. He used his great horns to hurl the rocks into the dragon’s path.īahamut had no chance of dodging out of the way of the missiles. As the dragon raced in, the opposing creature took a running step and drove his armored crown into a massive formation of stone. The Behemoth King, at that moment, showed why he was the king of Pulsian plains. He opened his mouth the loose the gathering bolts.

“Lightning Strafe!” Fang called out her monster.īahamut circled and came in low. The Behemoth hit the ground and looked upward, growling. Bahamut was like scaled lightning and managed to dodge, but took a vicious gash to the leg for his efforts. The giant quadruped leapt, trying to take the dragon down. “Aerial Evasion!” She shouted to her friend.īahamut gave a quick beat of his wings and raced into the sky. The Behemoth charged forward, looking to gore the dragon horribly. The powerful beast would just escape and be twice as angered for her having tried. She knew she couldn’t throw her ball just yet. The King Behemoth was staggered, but he was nowhere near done. She’d never seen a beast take two of Bahamut’s most powerful attacks and shake them off. “Bloody hell,” Fang said, her voice filled with abject surprise. The beast rose to his feet and shook his head. The King Behemoth was lifted from his feet and sent on a flight the ended in a terrible crash. When the tail impacted the dazed Behemoth’s ribs, a cacophonously deafening crescendo caused both Fang and Lightning to temporarily hear nothing but a low ringing. As it cut through the air, a deep rumbling caused the very ground to shudder. He spun about quickly, his mighty tail arcing in. “Use Thunderstrike!”īahamut obeyed his lady’s commands to the letter. The monster let out a horrible pain filled bellow. The electricity arced over his body and between the gigantic horns protruding from his back. Lightning bolts arced from his gaping maw, blasting at the Behemoth, staggering him back. A shockwave rolled across the grasslands. The dragon drew back, sucking a huge intake of air into his mouth. “Bahamut! Lightning Scream!” Fang shouted commands to her companion. For a heartbeat or two, the two mammoth beasts circled, sizing each other up. The King Behemoth ceased its charge and reared on his back legs, likewise roaring a challenge. In a bright flash of light and a rumble of thunder, the mighty dragon appeared. “Bahamut! I choose you!” She hurled the ball into the air. “Fang! What are you doing?”įang slowly pulled the crimson and pearl sphere from her belt pouch. Lightning ran on a little further before she realized her fellow trainer was in the path of the monster. “You know what? This bastard is starting to piss me off.” She slid to a stop. Once we get him to New Bodhum and the center, he should be right as rain.” Fang cast a glance over her shoulder. “I hope Odin’s gonna be okay.” She said, looking down at the white and red globe in her hand. “I think he’s mad,” Fang said, sweat causing her sari to cling to her skin. Fang and Lightning both ran as fast their legs would carry them.
