'Damn I can't fight her, I have to manipulate her!' Hex became frightened, and he started to perspire on the sides of his face.

In his former existence, he had attempted to fool Becca on several occasions, but each time he was smacked in the crotch. Becca was a boy-kind of-woman.

He attempted to kiss her several times, even though she was his captain!

"Damn, thinking about it makes my balls tremble again."

"No reply means, you're dead!" As Becca made her decision, the lightning swiftly grew around her weapon as she got ready for combat.

"Wait, my brother is down there bleeding, he needs your help," Hex said, pointing down at the location where he had left Wease, and Becca followed, focusing her eyes to the small figure in the distance.

'So he isn't telling lies!' Before refocusing on Hex, Becca cast a couple quick looks over Wease's body. "What do you say I make out if this situation?"

BOOOOMMM!

The explosion this time sounded from a distance and was distinct from the others he had heard previously.

This had to be a dragon, even for Becca to be alarmed.

For Hex, this was an extremely terrifying circumstance; his hands started to shake and his breath stopped.

'Back then after Wease died and Becca saved me, we heard this shriek and Becca flew over to it, when we arrived the dragon had already killed mum. Becca killed the dragon in the end.'

Hex growled like a wolf in rage, grinding his teeth. The energy surrounding him likewise intensified greatly; this was it, the opportunity of a lifetime! The chance he missed to turn his life around and save his mother. 'I saved Wease, I must also save mum!'

"What is that?" Becca's hands closed around her weapon; it was a dragon, but it did not have the same aura as other dragons.

"Save my brother quickly, Becca; I need to go!!!" Hex cried in a haste, shooting off into the air to where he thought the dragon was and without waiting for a response.

"Becca? How did he know my name?"

//Stars//

Fwooom!

Hex gained speed with each second that went by, covering a great deal of ground. 'Mum please keep on living till I get there! I am coming!'

{Fatigue is increasing rapidly, I advise we slow down to lower consumption rate}

"Shut the hell up! I will kill you if you say another word!" Evidently not in the mood to stop, Hex snapped.

{Why do you feel so much attachment, from all I know you already lost your mother}

"You old bitch, you don't understand a thin about me or life! I lost my mother but from what I am seeing I can touch her, I can feel her once more.... That is convincing enough for me to believe! I can't let her die!"

"You are nothing more than a system with no feelings at all; a heartless, unreal artifact like you would never understand this stuff."

Hex hissed all the way through, and for a long time the Phantom had no response at all.

{I am made to make your life easier and protect you, if you pass out here you will be in danger}

"Protect shit! All you want is to protect yourself because you live in me! Fuck off if that's what you want, but if you really want to help me then you will find a way to save mum!"

Hex was done talking after that; the Phantom could argue about whatever it felt was its own issue.

'Mum, just hold on a bit longer, I will be there soon.'

ROOOOAAAAARRRR!!!

The dragon's thunderous roar captured his attention barely three streets away.

At this distance, he could see the top hind of its body, its tails wagging in the air, and the aggressive stink of ash that covered its appearance.

This meant it was searching for something or someone.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Hex screamed at the top of his lungs, aiming for the dragon and giving his all to his flying, descending quickly at it like a shot arrow.

The dragon had black stone skin, was bigger than the lightning dragon, and had a considerably more intimidating demeanor.

He impelled foward fast and unoticed until the last second.

Hex sprang forward, striking the dragon's cranium with his fist.

KABOOMM!! FLUUUSSKK!!!

The force of the hit sent the dragon's face biting hard to the dust completely. "Krieeecchk!" It shrieked in reply.

Afterwards he manuevered himself in the air landing several yards away with a glower on his expression.

His mother had been slaughtered by that dragon, which also turned his life into a living misery. And it was time to exact some serious payback.

"Hex!" He heard a woman's faint voice wailing from not far away.

Hex looked at her; her clothing were ripped, her eyes seemed to be crying till they turned scarlet, and her ash-colored hair appeared disheveled.

Her limp was severe and she was bleeding profusely.

However, Hex was the one who sustained the greatest harm when he laid eyes on her.

"Mum!" His eyes started to well up with tears. It pleased him that his mother was still alive. He had seen her squished into puddles of blood in his previous existence, yet now she appeared to be alive.

The memories of losing her were starting to come back.

He turned his attention from her to the dragon, whose eyes were gnawing away at his skin.

There was an even more menacing pressure surrounding him as the purple swirled about.

In addition, the dragon had awoken from its trance and was eager to engage in combat.

"This day I swear I am going to brutally kill you!"

Meeting your mother's murderer means....
