"It was never my power, to begin with... I always had the intention to bring you back and have you by my side again" Derik said casually with a smile.
Only then did Kaido smile and his massive dragon body began shrinking. It kept shrinking until he was just about Derik's height, only then did the youthful Igneel appear again but this time his hair color had changed from red to orange. Kaido grabbed the red crystal embedded in his forehead and smashed it. He was aware that people were monitoring his actions through that crystal, making him feel uncomfortable.
"I believe this is yours" Derik said as his shadow expanded and the bright red spear shot out and into Kaido's hands.
"I would have preferred a sword but I guess this will have to do for now" Kaido seemed slightly disappointed.
"Ungrateful piece of shit!" Derik cursed but then they were interrupted by Belize.
Whoosh!
