Mikoto could barely think straight now.. she was chained by her ankle to a dungeon wall, the venom that had seeped into her veins was dulling her senses, making it hard to discern what was going on around her.

"Damn.. " Mikoto muttered. "Where.. the heck.. am.. I? Owwwww..."

Mikoto could hear a little of Coluber's muttering echoing in the cave.

"My.. My Fulgy.. she's mine... mine.."

Mikoto fought the urge to cry. Watching Coluber suffering from the madness of the Corruption hurt her heart so painfully, it was like a form of torture...

For a moment, her vision cleared just enough to see Coluber shoving a small figure into the dungeon with his tail. "Go!! Tend to her woundssss. Now! If I see her slightly out of health, I'll eat you!!!"

Mikoto saw a shivering pink Gekota approach her. It was at this point, Mikoto realized that all the female Gekos were pink, while all the males were different shades of green, red, blue, and other colors.

The Gekota (or Pyonko, as Mikoto would call it) had a fancy blue dress on, and was wearing a tiny golden crown with a ruby set in the center.

"Oh.. oh dear." said the well dressed Gekota. "You look the worse for wear don't you ms. Human. I'll fix that up best I can.."

The Geko began fumbling awkwardly with a roll of bandages, obviously not experienced as she tried to wrap them around Mikoto's bruises.

"It's okay.." Mikoto said. "You can stop..I feel fine.. it's just his venom that's a little disorienting.. first time he's ever used it on me though.."

Mikoto looked at the crown. "Are you.. some sort of royalty?"

"Yes. I am princess Pyonko." said the princess. "Named after my great great great great grandmother.."

"PYONKO IS REAL TOO!?" Mikoto squealed excitedly. "Uh.. I mean.. wow.. nice to meet you.. heh.."

"I heard my ancestors started a franchise based on us on Earth." said Pyonko. "But I didn't think it to be true till you reacted in such a way."

In the Gekota franchise, Pyonko was the female counterpart to Gekota. She was usually seen with a bow on her head.

"So.. why are you hear?" Mikoto asked.

"I was kidnapped by Vrull as a hostage to ensure we keep giving his men God Ore." said Pyonko. "I've been here for 5 years.. ever since that large snake arrived.. he's the only company I've had during that time.. I don't believe he's truly evil.. but.. he seems sick.. as if his mind isn't quite right. He constantly mutters to himself, and he can't seem to access his Purgatory forms like other Numensapiens.."

Mikoto's ears perked up. If Coluber couldn't use his Purgatory forms, whatever the reason, it would be a severe disadvantage for him, and any Numensapien.. their Purgatory forms and the Purgatory Gods that came with them were their combative ace in the hole. And Coluber wasn't the most powerful Numensapien to begin with.. it meant they had a chance..

Before Fulguras reincarnated, Mikoto remembered that Coluber had unlocked 2 of his Purgatory Forms. Leviathan of the Flashing Viper, and Sky Serpent of the Flashing Viper.. one had the ability to create a nasty ocean of acid, while the other could fly at incredible speeds.. and their Purgatory Gods, Cthulhu and Tyrannos, had started several legends on Earth, due to a wild trip Fulguras and Coluber had once taken in the Milky Way... (Coluber and Fulguras got grounded for 3 years for starting the Cthulhu legend.)

"If he doesn't have most of his power to access.." Mikoto muttered. "It must be because the Corruption hasn't fully settled in yet like it did with Diablo, and integrated with his aspects of magic. He can be cured... I just have to find a way.. to... to.."

Mikoto gulped. What she was about to do.. was not a very nice prospect...

Mikoto stood up awkwardly.

"Wait!!! You shouldn't be moving around!!" Pyonko exclaimed.

"Just watch.. and learn..:" Mikoto said. "HEY!! COLUBER!!!! I've decided.. I want to get married!!"

Quicker then anything in the Universe, Coluber slithered over to the bars of the prison, his eyes wide with yearning. "T-truly!?"

"Yes.. but I want more then just that.. I want to truly be a part of you.." Mikoto gulped. "I.. want.. you to.. ulp.. eat me.."

"GEH!?" said Coluber. "What!?"

"I'm a Numensapien! You won't digest me." said Mikoto. "I'll be stuck in your stomach for all eternity, sustaining your life force, so we both become immortal! You know that."

"B-but.. " said Coluber. "you're human now.."

"Am I? Then how did I perform God Fusion with Juvia?"

"True true.." An extra snake head grew out of Coluber's neck and spoke. "Only Numensapiens can perform God Fusion.. we all know that.."

"Yes.. but what if it's a trick?" another head grew out and spoke. "What if she's bluffing?"

"She doesn't have enough power to fight me as she is now.." said Coluber's main head as the two other heads shrank back into his neck. "It's not a trick..Fine.. Fulgy.. let's become one.."

The door of the prison opened.. and Coluber opened his jaws wide to receive Mikoto.

________________

By the time Touma Kamijou and the rest of the rescue team had come into the cave chamber where the prison was, they were only just in time to see Mikoto's legs disappear down Coluber's throat.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, staring at Coluber with horror..

Pyonko had her tiny hands covering her mouth with shock.

Elli let out a small whimper and fainted into Happy's arms.

"H-he.. ate mommy!!" Miyoko stammered. "YOU ATE MOMMY!!!!"

"G-guh.. g-guh.. GRAAAHHHHH!!!!" Natsu roared. "WHAT THE FREAKING HELL!?"

Touma however, looked livid with rage. Sweat was pouring down his face like an unbelievable waterfall, and he was clenching and unclenching his right fist. "Spit her out.. now.."

Coluber glared at Touma. "Mmmm? Why would I do that?"

"Because if you don't.. " Touma growled. "I'm going to yank on your uvila until you do.. then I will disembowl you and use your skull as a paperweight.. then I'll go to Soul Society, find your soul, and kill you all over again..."

Everyone stared at Touma.

"Wow.." said Renji. "Dark.."

Coluber laughed. "Well if you think you can.. you're welcome to try.. as long as she is within my stomach though, I assure you, she won't be digested!! She's a Numensapien after all!!"

"A-and.." said Juvia. "If.. for hypothetical argument's sake.. she wasn't a Numensapien.. what would happen?"

"Well, I'd say you would have around 12 minutes before my stomach acids kick in and digest her.." said Coluber. "But I don't have to worry about that.."

"DISECT THE SNAKE!!!" Natsu yelled. "GET MIKOTO OUT OF THERE!!!"

Everyone attacked at once, all accessing as much of their full strength as they could on the spot.

"ROAR!! ZABIMARU!!!! Renji yelled. His blade turned into a segmented stretching tail-like blade that stretched at an incredible length and hurled into Coluber's scales.

Ichigo flashed over behind Coluber and twisted in mid air, drawing both his Zangetsus. "GETSUGA JUJISHO!!!!"

A cross shaped Getsuga, slammed Coluber down.. to the ground as finally Miyoko and Juvia came in from the front.

"BULLET BOMB OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!!"

"WATER NEBULAE!!"

Miyoko's two Thunder Dragon claws that were coming out of her shoulders, created a massive sphere of electricity that merged with Juvia's water blast and hurled straight into Coluber's face.

Coluber roared furiously and shook off the blows like they were nothing. "Really!? Is that the best you can do..? You feel like flies!! VENOM CANON OF THE FLASHING VI- wait.. WHAT!?"

Coluber couldn't feel his magic.. And not only that.. he felt more.. vulnerable.. this couldn't be.. unless..

Coluber's eye roved to see that Touma Kamijou was clinging to the back of his head.

"GET OFF ME!!" Coluber turned to and fro, trying to snap Touma with his jaws.. but touma was out of reach, clinging to the edge of Coluber's eye ridges.

"SPIT HER OUT!!" Touma roared.

"NEVER!!!" Coluber spat back.

"All right then!! GUYS!! GIVE HIM HELL!!!" Touma yelled.

Everyone began attacking again.. and this time, Coluber began to groan in pain, as his magical durability, which like many Numensapiens, was strong enough to endure many high powered magic attacks, had been negated by Imagine Breaker.

(Take note, that some Numensapiens are too powerful for Imagine Breaker to negate. If Touma touched Diablo, his power would only be reduced by 1/4, the same with Nichts and Amor. Supremos, would only be reduced by 1/100)

"KEEP HITTING HIM!!"Touma yelled as the entire cave rumbled with the sheer power of all the attacks. "DON'T LET UP!!!"

Coluber slammed the back of his neck against the walls of the cave, hitting Touma in the process as he attempted to knock him off. "WHY!!! WON'T YOU GET OFF!?"

"Because.. that's.. my MIKOTO!!!!" Touma roared. "And even if the world ends.. as long as she's still in there, I WON'T LET GO!!!!"

_____________

Mikoto felt gross.. just so darn gross. Everything around her was pulsating and slimey.. not to mention dark and cramped. Her motion specific claustrophobia as a result of her dragon blood, was a screaming hellish torture in her head right now.. if Mikoto remembered right.. part of the Claustrophobia was the room had to be below a specific size, moving, and have no windows.. well.. inside Coluber was super cramped.. and there were no windows.. and Coluber was definitely moving.. oh joy..

Mikoto reached her hand in.. groping around the squishy darkness.. looking for what she felt must be a parasite..

When the Corruption first took place.. in the initial years of infection.. it took the form of a parasite.. usually like a tick that dwelled in your body.. feeding in madness and evil, until your aspects of magic changed, and your Purgatory forms and Gods became completely different. Coluber hadn't fully transformed yet.. and his aspects were still Speed and Venom.. not Evil and Death like Diablo. Their had to be.. something in here still the parasite...

Mikoto then smelled it.. something.. familiar.. someone familiar.. but it couldn't be..

Mikoto could feel her dragon instincts screaming at her to hide and cower in a way that had nothing to do with her claustrophobia. Only one individual could fill a dragon's natural instincts with such terror...

"So it was you all along.." Mikoto growled. "And to think I thought you were destroyed.. well.. you're not getting away!!!!! Son of Asgawrath!!! Nobody infects my friend, without getting some pain from me!!!"

Mikoto groped around, till she clutched what felt like a scaly tail. "Found you!!! Not so big anymore, are you Mr. Lord of Destruction!!! COME ON!!! YOU USED TO THINK I WAS NOTHING BUT A FLEDGLING DRAGON!!! WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT AND PROVE IT!!!!"

All Mikoto could hear in response, was some frantic roaring and squealing, as a large creature, around the size of a puppy, tried to break out of Mikoto's grip, flapping it's wings in the squishy darkness, and clawing at Mikoto's hand with it's talons.

"Get out.." Mikoto growled. "GET OUT OF MY FRIEND!!!"

With that yell, Mikoto's body exploded with lightning, and while her wings slammed against the walls of Coluber's long stomach, her body was covered with a brilliant dress made of lightning. Her hollow mask radiated onto her face.. and power blew around within the snake.

______________

"AUUUUUGHHHHHH!!!" Coluber hacked and coughed as his body bloated and glowed with lightning. "HACK!!! AGGGH!!! WHAT IS SHE DOING IN THERE!!!? HAAAAA!!!!"

Touma grinned. "That's right Mikoto, bust your way out.. I'm negating his durability, so you should be able to do it!"

"Uh.. Touma!? I don't think she's trying to get out.." said Ichigo. "She looks like she's pushing her way in deeper!! What is she doing!?"

"Er.. she got lost!?" said Natsu. "Don't worry, I'll get her out.. IRON FIST OF THE FIRE DRAGON!!!!"

Natsu let his flaming gauntlets collide with the spot right under Coluber's stomach.. as soon as he made contact.. a muffled voice rang out. "DANG IT NATSU!! STOP!!! YOU'RE GOING TO HURT ME!!!"

"Oh!! Sorry Mikoto... wait.. MIKOTO!?"

"You can hear us!?" Touma roared. "Well listen!! You're going the wrong way!!!"

"No I'm not!!" Mikoto screamed from inside. "But.. I'm going to need you to do me a favor.. guys.. open that mouth wide.. and keep it open!! NOW!!!"

"Well, you heard the lady.." said Natsu. "COME ON ICHIGO!!!"

Ichigo and Natsu launched themselves over to Coluber's head, and kicked the snake's head to the ground. Everyone piled on top of Coluber's head, right above his neck.. as Natsu and Touma got off.

Natsu took his flaming gauntletts, and wrenched Coluber's jaw open. And Touma reached out a hand to Mikoto, who was just climbing her way out of Coluber's throat, her right hand and head visible.

"Come on.. I can't hold it much longer!!!" Mikoto growled.

Touma grabbed Mikoto's hand with his left so Imagine Breaker kept negating Coluber's power by touching the snake's snout. With great difficulty, he managed to wrench Mikoto right out of Coluber's mouth..

As Touma fell back with the drenched Mikoto in his arms, Coluber screamed and knocked everyone off him.. roaring in pain.. before falling onto his back and curling up.. shaking and quivering..

Mikoto gasped as she stood up and held the struggling parasite upside-down by it's tail in her left hand. "So.. how's it feel to be smaller then us? Dravis?"

The small black purple eyed dragon growled and lashed out it's claws uselessly as he dangled in Mikoto's hand. "YOU SWINE!!! CURSE YOU MIKOTO MISAKA!!!!"

Everyone stared. "Wait.. DRAVIS!?"

"But.. you mean all this time.." Touma stammered. "Dravis.. Lord of Destruction.. was alive!?"

"Not alive.. just reborn." said Mikoto. "As long as either Elanis or Dravis exists, the other can't be destroyed.. they're the mother and father of all dragons, and the embodiment of the Omegaverse's balance... looks like Dravis felt a little sore after I defeated him.. and he came after Coluber out of spite for me.."

Everyone was speechless. Nobody had expected this..

"Well.. are you freaking moronic humans just going to stare at me!?" spat Dravis. "LET ME GO!!!"

"Heheheheh. "Natsu pointed at Dravis. "He's like a little Iguana now.."

"Wait a few decades, I'll be big enough to put you in an oven and roast you for 12 minutes till you're golden brown!" Dravis growled.

"Wow.. he's a lot more feisty when he's small." said Juvia.

Renji and Ichigo, who both had never seen Dravis before, both looked at the little dragon curiously.

"Heh.. heard of him.. but always imagined him to be much more terrifying.." Renji muttered.

"He's so cute!" said Miyoko. "Can we keep him Mamma?"

"Eh.. we have no choice, we need to seal him away so that he never grows huge and tries to invade the Multiverse again." said Mikoto.

Suddenly, Coluber let out a groaning noise... his body shrank.. his cobra hood vanished, his skin became green, and his golden armor glowed with a more pleasant aura..

"F-Fulgy?" Coluber lifted his head awkwardly. "Oh... oh god.. oh.. I'm so sorry.. what... what have I done..?"

"COLUBER!!!" Mikoto ran over and hugged the snake as he began to cry into Mikoto's shoulder.

"I-I'm a monster..." Coluber sobbed.

Dravis harrumphed, and broke out of distracted Mikoto's grip, making to scramble away into the shadows.. but not before Touma stepped on the small dragon's tail. "Not today little iguana."

___________________

Back at the palace.. The Gekos were in tears and full of joy. Not only had their master, Fulguras, returned to them, but their glorious princess Pyonko as well. A large feast was thrown that night, one that Urahara didn't attend, as he was fixing up the pillar to get ready for departing the planet.

"Wow.." said Coluber in awe as he listened to Mikoto describing all her adventures and her life since her reincarnation. "Even for a human, you still kicked butt like you did back in the old days! And you defeated Diablo? Even though you were human!?"

"I had help." said Mikoto cheerfully. "To be honest, most of the times whenever I fought Diablo, I wasn't able to do it with my own power alone.. one time it was Elanis.. another time, me, Nicole, and Nelliel Vermillion, a girl from another guild, used a forbidden power merging technique.. the list goes on.."

"Humans are just more fascinating now.." said Coluber. "I never knew that Espers existed.. just mages.. and this Level 6 thing allows them to contend with Numensapiens? Incredible.."

"Well.. I never use a Level Shift if I can help it.." Mikoto muttered.

"Eh? Why!?"

"Because it hurts like hell!" said Accelerator from across the table. "You should see the expression she makes every time she does it.."

"In the future, Mamma says that it feels like 3000 swords stabbing into you at once." said Mir.

Coluber gulped. "That.. and you had your leg blown off, a hole blasted in your chest.. and you actually died at one point.. F-Fulgy.. it scares me to think about how you felt.."

Touma watched as Mikoto and Coluber exchanged happy conversation like any two best friends would. From what he saw, Coluber was extremely guilty about his 5 year tyrannical rule of Planet Gekota (Mikoto decided to call it that, since it technically had no name..). Coluber was in reality easy to get along with.. a strange thing, especially given that most of the Numensapiens Touma had met had their own extremely strange and bizarre quirks..

Amor went overboard when she encountered cute things, and tended to play cute pranks on Mikoto.

Ikkari was rageful, and liked to smash things to bits instead of think things through.

Nichts was silent, never speaking unless he released his full wrath, always calculating, thinking..

Hoshimi was mostly cute and joyful, except for brief periods where she would get serious, and take on a calculating calm attitude.

And Twilight Prankster? Well.. enough said on Twilight Prankster. The most normal he ever acted was when he played League of Legends, and that was only because he was too concentrated on the game to troll much.

But Coluber.. was normal.. and relatable.. and Mikoto, if Touma guessed right, wasn't any different in personality from her old Numensapien self, except for the Tsundere part of her that Thundaarix claimed was inherited from her. (Thundeel, Igneel X Thundaarix, yes.. it's happening.)

"Jealous?" Touma turned at the voice to see Index standing there, watching Mikoto and Coluber.

"Nah." said Touma. "not at all.. me and Coluber talked a bit before the feast.. he's okay with it.. though, I think it's kind of broken him inside.. understandable considering how long he's been crushing on her."

"Pretty different from his corrupted version.." Index mused. "So.. what are you thinking about then?"

"Well.. he told me something really ironic.. it was actually the last thing I'd expect anybody to tell me." said Touma.

"Really?"

"Yeah.. he said I was the luckiest guy in the Omegaverse."

Index sniggered. "Sure... "

"Well think about it though.." said Touma. "Imagine Breaker has limits.. I mean.. think about my fight with Fiamma years ago.. and plenty of other times I couldn't negate something.. maybe their are some things provided by the Grace of God that this right hand can't destroy?"

"Like what?" said Index. "What kind of grace could be so powerful, that Imagine Breaker can't negate?"

Touma smiled as he watched Mikoto, who seemed to become more beautiful by the second. "I'm sure you can guess the answer.."
