"I'll never understand how you can keep eating like this."  Sen says as the dishes continue to pile up.

                "Saiya-jin always eat like this."  Kenshin says between dishes.  He tosses one and turns to the waiter.  "Just keep it coming."

                The waiter takes the plate.  He looks at the other plates already on the table, numbering somewhere around 50, then asks Kenshin, "Are you sure?"

                "Of course!"  Kenshin says as he dips in to the remaining dishes.

                "What is it about you Saiya-jin that make your stomaches bottomless?"  Gabriel asks.

                "Our constant training and our body's makeup."  Kenshin says as he stuffs the last of his available food in his mouth.  "Hey!  I'm out of food here!"  He yells in the direction of the kitchen.

                "Coming right up!"  After another hour and a dozen plates Kenshin finally gets down to buisness.

                "So tell me what you've been up to."  Kenshin says as he fiddles with a toothpick.

                "Well now where do we start?"  Gabriel says.

                "How about the beginning?"  Kenshin says sarcasticly.

                "All right I'll go."  Sen says.  "After we left you we went north and got the prince.  After that we went around to the surrounding villages and began gathering our little army."

                "Little army?"  Kenshin asks.  "You've got a couple thousand people here."

                <"41,756.">  Legend says.

                "Hush."  Kenshin says to one of the gems.

                "Who are you talking to?"  Sen asks.

                "I'll tell you later."

                "So anyway we told them to meet us here.  Needless to say there are quite allot of them."  Sen says.

                "It seems that Argo has made more enemies than friends."  Gabriel says.

                "Killing my father then taking the kingdom from us."  The prince says in anger.  "I'll make him pay."

                Kenshin looks at the prince and laughs.  "Yeah right."  He says while laughing.  "When the fighting starts you just stay out of our way."  Kenshin flicks the toothpick onto the dishes.

                "Uncooth barbarian."  The prince thinks.  "I may not be well versed in magic, but I am schooled in both the martial arts and the arts of the mind.  I will show my superiority in battle."

                "So all of your army is in the north, right?"  Kenshin asks.

                "Yes.  We didn't go into the south of Camelot.  We didn't have time."  Sen says.

                "That means that we need to find some way of sending some of our forces into the south to prevent the southern army from interferring."  The prince says.

                Kenshin thinks for a moment.  "No I don't think that will be nessicary.  I can make it so they don't give us any problems."

                "What do you have in mind Kenshin?"  Gabriel asks.

                "Something rather interesting."  Kenshin says.  "How many days until we start?"

                "Two days."  Sen says.

                "Good that will be more than enough time for us to be ready."  Kenshin says.  "I think I'll get started right now."  He says as he gets up.

                "Where are you going?"  The prince asks.

                "To take care of the southern army."  Kenshin says.

                "Why not send some of our people to the south?"  The prince asks.

                "There are a few reasons.  We can't spare the man power, the northern army is around 65,000.  It would take too much time to send a sufficent number to the south.  The northern army is weaker than the southern army.  There are too many leviathans around the capital to risk sending a large force south.  But mostly because we don't need to.  I can handle them without much trouble."  Kenshin says.

                "We have to send some people to the south!"  The prince says.

                "Why do we have to do that?"  Kenshin asks.

                "Because I am the prince.  And you have to do what I say."  The prince says.

                "What is your name, boy?"  Kenshin asks.

                "Am I no boy.  I am Thomas the Third, prince of all Camelot and soon to be king."  Thomas says.

                "Well Thomas let me tell you something.  Here you do not lead by birth right.  Here you must earn everything through sweat and blood.  Here the three of us lead."  Kenshin says as he motions to Sen and Gabriel.  "You are nothing but a nosanse here."

                "Who do you think you are?"  Thomas yells.

                Kenshin disappears and reappears right in front of Thomas.  He grabs the young prince, five years his senior, by the throat and lifts him up.  "Who am I?  I am Kenshin, adopted son and pupil of Daniel, and the best hope you have to get your throne back."  Kenshin tosses Thomas to the floor.  Thomas hits the floor and looks up at Kenshin completely shocked.  "And don't you ever forget it."  Kenshin says as his aura flares up.  He walks outside then flies off to the south.

                "What is he?"  Thomas asks Gabriel.

                "He is exactly what he said."  Gabriel says.

                "No."  Sen says with a smile on his face.  "He is much more than that.  Never get a Saiyan angry.  That's what Daniel once told me.  But I'll add something to what he said."  Sen looks directly at the now standing Thomas.  "Never make a Saiyan in love angry."

                "A Saiyan in love?"  Thomas asks.

                "Kenshin isn't fighting Argo for you, for me, or for Camelot."  Gabriiel says.

                "For who than?"  Thomas asks.

                "He's fighting for Iris."  Gabriel says.  "And only for Iris."

                The capital of Camelot, simply known as the capital or Camelot,  is virtual unassalable.  It is protected in the north and the south by dense forests and tall hills.  On the east and west the main of ocean of Camelot provides some protection.  Also the capital itself is split in two by a shallow, narrow straight.  The southern army was suddenly called into action by Argo about a month ago, and the northern army soon followed.  Also called into action by Argo was something Kenshin didn't expect, a large dome over the city.  The dome itself is a magical spell cast by Argo.  It is immensly strong and can keep out almost any sorcerer.  The southern army has been on high alarm statis for a few days now.  But they pay little attention to an old man with a walking sitck.  The old man makes a trip around the southern army's position.  First in the north about a mile or so outside the dome.  Then the old man walks around the harbors.  Where ever he goes he makes sure that when his walking stick stricks the ground it digs into the ground a few inches.  What no one could have known was that this old man wasn't really an old man.  It was really a young sorcer/warrior named Kenshin.  And his walking stick really wasn't a walking stick.  It was a sword called Legend.  But what were these two doing is a mystery that will only be explained later on.

                Early the next morning Kenshin and Legend did the same thing in the north.  After that the army of rebels began to prepare.  A day later Kenshin, Gabriel, Sen, Chibi, and Thomas all sit in the same restaurant from earlier.  There are about 30 dirty dishes in front of Kenshin.  Thomas just shakes his head at the 'barbarian'.  "What?"  Kenshin asks.  "I like to eat before a fight.  I fight better on a full stomach."

                "Whatever.  But when the fight starts just stay out of my way."  Thomas says.

                Both Sen and Gabriel give a little laugh.  "Have you ever been in a fight?"  Kenshin asks.

                "Of course.  Gabriel has seen me train.  I am an excellent swordsman."  Thomas says.

                "I'm not talking about fencing and sparring."  Kenshin says.  "I mean a really fight.  Where death runs rapid."

                "Well no.  I am a prince, not a barbarian like you."  Thomas says completely forgetting about what happened yesterday.

                "A barbarian, huh?"  A small knife forms in his hands.  He pricks his right index finger.  He takes the blood and makes a line under each of his eyes then makes two streaks on his checks.  "Maybe I should act like one."  Within the hour the army of rebels had gathered themselves within the forest north of the capital.

                "Should we fire a vallie of ki attacks?"  Sen asks.

                "Unnessecary."  Kenshin says with a smile.

                "Why is that?"  Gabriel asks that they appoach the edge of the forest.

                "Just wait, you're going to love what I did."  Kenshin says with a smirk.  The army slowly forms at the edge of the forest.  "Everybody ready?"  Kenshin asks.

                "Lets go!"  Thomas says as he gets up.  Kenshin quickly grabs his shirt and yanks him back down.  "What was that for?"  Thomas asks.

                "Just wait a second."  Kenshin says.  Kenshin holds his left arm out in front of him.  "Legend activate, light armor, heaviest on the left arm."

                "What are you talking about?"  Thomas asks.  In an instant Kenshin's clothes are replaced by a light metal armor.  The gaulet and armor on his left arm and hand appear to be stronger.  In his left hand is Legend.  "Whoa."  Thomas says in shock.

                "Here we go."  Kenshin says as he gets up.  He holds the sword aloft.  Almost immediately there are explosions in the distance.

                "What's that?"  Gabriel asks.

                "My little surprises.  Ki bombs."  Kenshin says.

                "Ki bombs?"  Sen says in surprise.  "How did you come up with that?"

                "Never mind."  Kenshin holds up his sword towards the capital.  No one has to ask what that means.  The army crashes towards the capital like water from a broken dam.  The northern army never knew what hit them.  The ki bombs did a great deal of damage to them, not just by killing men, but also by disrupting communications.  The southern army was also introduced to Kenshin's ki bombs.  Although the ki bombs in the south were not intended to kill or mame.  Instead they were meant to confuse and prevent them from sailing north.  The army of rebels initial ploude through the north army.  They fought their way onto the southern steppes of the hills before meeting any real resistance.  "Do overextend yourself!"  Kenshin yells to the men.  "Don't push too far into their lines or we'll be in trouble."

                "You fool!"  Thomas yells back.  "When you have the enemy on the run you don't give them a chance to recover!"  He turned back to the northern army.  "Charge!"  Thomas charged forward oblivious to the fact that the northern army had recovered from the initial attack and was regrouping.

                "Damn it."  Kenshin thought as he chased after Thomas.  "That fool is going to get himself killed."  In front of him Thomas had just killed another soldier.  At first Thomas had found it hard to kill his own subjects.  But after a few forced kills he overcame his feelings of doubt.  Finally Thomas' foolishness caught up with him.  He did not pay attention and was caught up in a counterattack by the northern army.  15 soldier quickly rushed him.

                "Oh shit."  Thomas thought as he caught his first glimse of the soldiers charging at him.  Surprisingly Kenshin ran pass him yelling out with Legend held ready.  "He's insane."  Thomas thought.

                "Get out of my way!"  Kenshin yells as he disappearred.  Seconds tick by without any sign of him.  Finally he reappears by Thomas, his blade dripping with blood.  The soldiers running at them suddenly fall to the ground, one by one, with gashes across their chests.  Kenshin turns back to Thomas.  "Now do you know why I told you to stay back?"  He yells at him in anger.

                "I...I'm sorry."  Thomas says.

                Kenshin turns back to the fight.  It is going well.  Eventhough the northern army has regrouped the outcome of the battle has already been decided.  "Sen, Gabriel, has goes it on your ends?"  Kenshin calls out to them telepathicly.

                "Pretty good up here."  Sen says.  "One more push and the fight should be over."

                "The fight is done over here.  We're rounding up prisoners."  Gabriel says. 

                As soon as the fight became Sen and Gabriel separated from Kenshin and Thomas.  Sen went with Chibi to the west, while Gabriel went to the east.  "Good.  One more push should do it."  But one more push is not needed.  Surprisingly the remanate of the northern army gives up.  "What's going on here?"  Kenshin asks.

                "They're just giving up?"  Thomas asks.  He too is confused.  "They shouldn't have giving up that easily.  They could have fought a little longer."

                "You're right."  Kenshin looks towards the capital.  An omenious wind wipes across the battlefield.  "Something's not right."  Kenshin tries to sense what is going on inside the dome but cannot.  "That damn dome!  I can't feel a single ki inside of it."  Then something else happens.  There is a rumbling and the ground shakes.

                "What's that?"  Thomas asks.

                "I'm not sure.  It wasn't an earthquake.  It was too short and not powerful enough."  Kenshin says.  Then it happens again.  Kenshin mentally follows the vibrations.  "It's coming from the capital."  Kenshin eyes the dome cautiously.  "What could it be?"  He thinks.  Suddenly two blue eyes appear in the bome.  "What the hell?"  Kenshin yells out as he takes a step back.  Suddenly a dragon rips out of the dome.

                "It's huge!"  Thomas yells out.  "It's way too big to be a normal dragon!"

                "That he is."  Kenshin says uncertainty in his voice.  "This can't be a normal dragon.  That one I fought a while back was big for a dragon, and this thing is twice as big."

                <"You are correct in thinking that that dragon is not an average dragon.  He is infact an Ancient Dragon.">

                <"What's an Ancient Dragon, Legend?">  Kenshin asked the sword.

                <"A long time ago there were no leviathans, there were no an dragons like those now, and humans were few and scattered.  The Ancient Dragons ruled Camelot.  But they died out and now they are only survived by distant relatives.  Dragons and leviathans.">

                <"So this thing is as powerful as a leviathan and a dragon combined?">

                <"It is quite possibly stronger.">

                "Damn it!"  Kenshin finally came out of his mental discussion with Legend and spoke.  Everything on the battlefield stopped when the dragon appearred.  It immediately began killing at random.  It killed its allies and enemies alike.  "This thing is out of control."  Kenshin thought.  He couldn't believe it when the dragon began killing everything in sight.  "Guess I have no choice."  Kenshin said as he began gathering energy.

                "What are you doing, Kenshin?"  Thomas asks.

                "I'd leave the area if I were you."  Kenshin said as he looked at the ball in the palm of his hand.  He tossed it up into the air as his armor disappearred.  <"I have to leave you here for now Legend.">  Kenshin says as he tosses the sword off into the distance.

                <"I know.">  Legend says.

                Kenshin looks up at the ball, now high in the sky.  His tail twitches as the rays gather to his body.  "Kenshin?"  Thomas tries to get Kenshin's attention.  But as soon as he sees fur, fangs, and claws the young prince knows it is time to run.  He runs to a safe distance and watches the transformation end.  "Wow."  He says in amazement.

                "Stop it!"  The now transformed Kenshin yells at the dragon.

                The dragon turns to the voice and smiles when he sees the ape.  "So you are the Saiyan?"  He asks.

                "Yes I am."  Kenshin says.  "And you are?"

                "I have no name.  I was created by Argo's magic to kill you.  That is my reason to exist."  The dragon answers.

                "Argo made him?"  Kenshin thinks.  "How is that possible?  Is there a spell that can do that?"

                "But that is enough talking."  The dragon opens its wings and flies straight for Kenshin.  Kenshin braces for the assult.

                "Find cover!"  Sen yells as men run pass him.  They are members of the rebel and northern armies.  As soon as the dragon began to kill whoever was infront of him an immediate cease fire was agreed to. 

                "Sen!"  A voice yells out.

                Sen turned to see Gabriel running up to him.  "Hey Gabriel!"  Sen yells back.

                "Where's Chibi?"  Gabriel asks as he trots up to Sen.  The wolf appears right after its name is said.  It is doing very well.  Its fur is covered in blood, just like the clothes of every soldier, but thankfully it is not the wolf's own blood.  "Good to see you two are all right."

                "I see you're doing fine as well."  Sen says.

                "Yeah.  But what about the prince and Kenshin?"  Gabriel asks as they turn to the fight.  "I wonder if Kenshin can defeat that dragon."

                "I don't know.  Their kis are about equal."

                Kenshin and the dragon exchange blows for about five minutes then back off of one another catching their breath.  "You're good."  The dragon says.

                "As are you."  Kenshin emmits.

                "But this fight is over."  The dragon says, a grin appearing on its face.

                "Why is that?"  Kenshin inquires.

                "Because I know your weakness."

                "My weakness?"  Kenshin asks.  His mind races to try and figure out what the dragon meant.  The dragon wastes no time.  He fires a blast right in front of Kenshin.  The resulting explosion causes a good deal of dirt to fly up in his face, hiding the dragon from his view.  "Damn it!"  Kenshin says as he tries to clear the dirt out of his way.  He is suddenly aware of a shooting pain in his tail.  He turns around to see the dragon disappear, and his tail fall to the ground.  "No!"  Kenshin yells out.  He immediately begins to feel his power fading.  The dragon reappears where he originally was.

                "I told you I know you weakness."  He says with a large smile on his face.  "I'll kill you once you're back to normal size."  The dragon starts to laugh, but notices that everytime Kenshin begins to lose some of his height/mass it returns.  "How is that possible?"  He asks himself.  Kenshin turns back to the dragon when his senses tell him that the dragon's defenses are at its lowest.  Kenshin's eyes are blood red.  He has his mouth open.  Ki and magic stream to his open mouth.  "Shit!"  The dragon yells as soon as he realizes he screwed up.  Kenshin was able to divide his focus.  He gathered power for his desparate attack, and was also able to keep his transformaion long enough to attack.  Kenshin did not say anything as the attack left him.  He couldn't.  It took everything he had to retain his Oozaru form.  When the attack was over Kenshin was lying on the ground, naked.  The dragon was not so lucky.  Kenshin knew that if he used a wide beam attack the dragon might have survived.  Instead he focused the attack and incinated its head.

                Kensihn slowly raises himself to his feet.  He looks around and finds Legend.  Almost immediately his clothing returns.  Legend disappear back into its gems form.  Kenshin looks up to the capital.  "I'm coming Iris."  He says as he walks towards the dome.
