It wasn't long until Kyden showed up, "I know what it is, Kyden, I have eyes too." he replied coldly. The roar prevented any further discussion between the two, only Kyden shouting orders out before taking off after the dragon, "Fool boy's going to get himself killed..." he muttered to himself. Kito watched as the dragon shifted it's focus from them and onto Kyden, for the moment, it seemed like the lancer's plan was working. He heard his name and looked back down at a stirring Calista, "I'm right here." he replied. When she asked about her staff, he began to look around, unable to to see it anywhere near him. Moments later, he heard a crack, turning just in time to see a coeurl-like creature swallowed up by the ground. Kito instantly reacted when she stepped backwards, prepared to catch her if she fell back, "Kyden's dealing with the dragon that appeared not that long ago, as for Sarina, I haven't seen her yet. It's likely she got blasted further away from us. In either case, I need you to do something for me, Calista. It's not safe here for any of us, I need you to find us shelter so we can figure out what to do next. I think I saw some buildings close to Moro Zera, maybe one of them is abandoned?" he suggested, lifting his sword onto his shoulder. He made his way towards the battle going on, "If you find Sarina, make sure you get her to safety as well. I'm going to save our lancer." he added before his body was engulfed in an orange glow.

Kito arrived just in time to see several more creatures emerge from the portal, all of them pursuing Kyden, who had somehow been put on the ground again. The dragon roared loudly, it's massive tail sweeping the charging creatures, killing or wounding them severely. It was apparent that the dragon was indiscriminate about who it attacked, friend and foe were equal game to it. Kito cursed his luck again, just what he needed, a dragon that was unpredictable. Of course, he also knew this dragon wasn't typical, and not just due to the fact it was enormous. It's attacks were calculated, as if it had extremely high intelligence. If that were the case, then was it possible that the inhabitants of Doria didn't know their world as well as they thought they did? Was it possible that there were monsters equal to this black dragon sleeping in the darkest parts of the world? This realization hit Kito hard, and it was in that moment that he finally understood why Ultima had led him to this place, to uncover the secrets of Doria. His own solution for absolute power had to be buried in those secrets, it all made sense now. Without wasting more time, Kito surged forward, blade at the ready. The dragon's red eyes turned to the male, a claw striking into the earth in an attempt to kill him, only to have been evaded. The male was now running up the arm, his blade glowing a bright yellow as magic was charged into the weapon, a second attack from the other claw coming. It missed, and Kito's sword entered the back of the dragon and continued downwards, allowing gravity to carry both sword and wielder until he landed safely.

The wound on the back exploded outwards as lightning bolts erupted from where the dragon had been cut, it falling forward to the ground, it's back still sparking here and there. Before Kito could savor his victory, the dragon's wound healed almost instantly, proving exactly what Kyden had said. The dragon was out of their league. "Kyden! Find Sarina and Calista! Get them to safety!" he shouted, turning to face the rising dragon. It let loose an ear-splitting roar, it was clearly angry and wanted blood. It took to the sky, something forming in it's mouth, something orange. It circled Kito several times before opening it's massive maw, a large orange ball revealing itself as it grew even more larger, eventually becoming a solid beam of orange light. The light shot forth faster than Kito had expected, hitting close enough to him to injure him and be sent flying, rolling along the ground like a ragdoll. The dragon landed over him and charged up again, this time letting the attack go in the form of a ball, obliterating what was left of the man. Satisfied, it finally took of for the sky, heading east across the ocean. Though his body was destroyed, Kito's consciousness still lingered. It was eventually pulled up high away from the planet, and away from Doria, until it was no longer in space either. It was now in a realm unseen to mortals, a realm where the Goddess Ultima resided, a place of complete and utter darkness. It was here that Kito's consciousness was given a form more suited for Ultima's Champion, a body identical to his mortal one, but contained within it was the Goddess' Power.

[i]"Kito. Kito, wake up." a voice called from all around him. Kito's eyes opened, "Am I...dead?" he asked. There was a chuckle, "Not exactly. You did die, but I remade you into my champion. I suppose it was a good thing you tried to take my pet down, it certainly made it easier to make you a new body, instead of having to wait for you to die on your own." the voice replied. "New body? What do you mean?" he asked, slightly confused. "You see, the human body you had is gone, destroyed by my pet. You remember him, right? The dragon? Well, thanks to him, I was able to give you a new body along with some of my powers." it explained. "Your powers? Are you trying to tell me that you're a God?" the voice scoffed, "It's Goddess. And yes, I am one." it corrected him. "Alright, then who are you? Eden?" he asked. "DON'T MENTION THAT NAME IN MY PRESENCE AGAIN!" the voice roared. "No, I am not her. I am called Ultima." the voice replied. "Ultima? The same one whom I've been hearing for most of my life?" "The very same, Kito." she replied. Kito looked around, "What is it you want me to do in exchange for this new body?" he asked. "Simple. Corrupt Eden's temples, create wars, uncover the truth about Doria's creation. You can do all this in whatever way you see fit, it's entirely up to you. You have the thing you've wanted most, absolute power, the power of a Goddess! Now go, my champion, sow the seeds of destruction!" she told him.[/i] Kito's body returned to Doria, roughly in the same shape it had been before the dragon landed the killing blow, though the male was still unconscious.
