Kitty quickly climbed faster in an attempt to evade his claw but he managed to crush her foot under his hand, trapping her there as she in vain tried to pull it away. She clenched her jaw shut, not even uttering a sound despite the pain she was in. In her anger and pain her hands turned into lava and she slammed them repeatedly against the Starforger's scales, slamming small fireballs down onto it aswell.

Sebastian moved quick to evade the Starforger's swipe, using his thrusters to move out of the way. However the sudden motion caused him to spin out of control and his line of sight was lost. Quickly, he fought to regain control of himself by timing the burst and intensity of each thruster located on his armour before slowing down.

The Starforger's hand struck down fast, slamming the Ghost Rider hard down against the rock and shattering it. He was lost amongst the debris, his Ghost Rider form starting to flicker as his flames were beginning to die down and he himself was dazed. The rage he was building up as he was increasing the intensity of his flames began to subside.

However in his moment of unconciousness, something inside him awoke. And the rage inside him began to build anew, but not from his own doing.

The Freelancer had quickly switched firing modes so that 12 of the 14 orbs were converted into sharp crystal shards, four in number.. while the other two orbs were preserved automatically to conserve ammunition.
Upon Jaya's command, The Freelancer fired these crystal shards into the unprotected area. The shards themselves were designed to embed deep into most materials - organic or inorganic and explode from the inside and release the same energy-draining gas.

A booming laugh echoed around the area as three of his enemies were somewhat trapped or knocked aside in his attack. His confidence and ego grew, until the red shards dug into his skin. They impacted straight into his vulnerable area and began draining the energy the comprised his cosmic layer. As if that wasn't enough, more fireballs came from the vampire in his hand and the angel's sword had plunged straight into his head. From these three angles his skin drained and warped, until the beast began to grow smaller. Cosmic energy was beaten and taken away from him as he writhed until a golden colour shimmered beneath. As his outer shell fell away so did any who were holding onto it. The Starforger appeared much smaller now, but still larger than the others. Aswell as his new size he now had bright golden scales and looked much more like a normal dragon, even having wings.

As his shell was ripped away he quickly regained his flight by beating his wings, although they were haphazard, obviously being unused in so long. The dragon raised his head to roar at his enemies, showing his face to them. Between them very few would recognise the face of the Time Dragon, albeit beaten and corrupted.

Nozdormu.

Kitty hit the ground with a smack when she was dropped, staring up at the Time Dragon with shock. "Nozdormu??" Kitty sounded shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief. She quickly pulled herself into a standing position after twisting her broken foot back into place so it would heal properly. 

This was the Starforger's true face? The Time Dragon Nozdormu that sent them back in time to erase Dan? His own son? Now if Kitty wasn't so shocked she would probably make a joke on how now she knows where Dan gets his dickish personality from.

One of the 7 surviving ODSTs looked at the dragon.
"What so, the bigger dragon peels away and there's a smaller dragon inside?" He half-joked.

Meanwhile Sebastian steered himself so that he thruster close to Nozdormu, and with full thrust, slammed himself into the dragon's side.

Due to the boiling rage inside him, the Ghost Rider awoke again, however barely concious, looking back to the Dragon.
"N-Nozdor..mu..?" he uttered, before the Gavin persona faded and there was nothing left but the Rider.
In a much deeper, monstrous voice, he called out to the Dragon:
"Nozdormu! You dare betray the Celestials?!"

"Nozdormu... not so much of a legend as much as a forgotten relic.." The Freelancer said.
As he noticed the second voice emanate from Gavin, The Freelancer flipped open his wrist pad again and began typing into it.

Nozdormu remained suspended in the air before them, looking between them all as he came to grips with his old body again. One of their words particularly grabbed his attention, those of the Ghost Rider's.
"Nozdormu! You dare betray the Celestials?!"
"Because they used me! They lied to me and wiped my memories! They do not deserve any servitude!" His anger carried on from his previous form it seemed, as he prepared another fiery breath to spray at them all.

It was then that a large portal exploded open near the battle with two other Dragons swooping in to join the fight.
"Father!" The red dragon screamed in anger, swooping towards Nozdormu with malicious intent.
It was clear that he was no friend to his father.

Jaya looked at the dragon, taking in the fact that it was her grandfather. Nevertheless she had no attachment to it, and knew it had to be taken down. With a nod to the Artificer she launched herself forward with her wings.
"The ritual!" She shouted to him, before delivering a series of quick slices to Nozdormu's wings, trying to distract his preparation of breathing fire.

The Artificer took an old tome tied to his belt into his hand and opened to a particular page.
"Now heroes, here is your chance. A final attack!" He cried, trying to rally everyone into a joint offense. In the mean time he began chanting an incantation from the pages, whilst energy began to swirl around him as it gathered with each word.

The second dragon flew from the newly emerged portal, joining the others as their entrance faded into nothing. "I think it's time we evened the odds a little." The Dragon growled slightly, her brother smirking and nodding in the distance.

Ven flew straight at his father, flanking him from the side that the portal had appeared on. It was clear that the man he was once so loyal to, was now nothing more than a traitor and a murderer in Ven's eyes.
With one final swoop of his wings, the son launched an assault on his father, firing volley after volley of fireballs at his scales.

In a swirl of red and black mist, another dragon appeared. This one was deathly-looking, almost a skeleton of such creatures, yet it flew to aide it's siblings. With great speed it evened out beside Bethany, turning to nod to them slightly.

"Together, one last time."

With a mighty roar he breathed a deathly black fire onto his father, joining the attack from the others.

Without a dragon form anymore, but instead with a renewed sense of morale inside of him, Eli launched himself forward by his demonic wings. A quick glance to his brothers and sister as he shouted.
"Together!" His hand shot straight forward in a fiery green fist, aiming for his father's chest.

"I hate them all. I really do. The whole damn fucking family." Kitty growled when she flexed her arm, gathering up her own fire. She shrugged, "Here goes." She clasped her hands together before slowly bringing them apart, a massive fireball forming in the space between her hands. Then when she could make it now larger she heaved it at the time dragon, grunting as she did so. A strand of her hair turned black.

"We're running low on ammo!" An ODST shouted.
"Keep firing!" Sebastian commanded over the comma.
The timely arrival of the three Dragons, along with Eli joining them for a full-frontal assault, inspired newfound hope in everyone including Sebastian. Sebastian, with his Battle Rifle in one hand and the Hydra Launcher in the other, opened fire with all six missiles and an abundance of bullets.

This, combined with the rockets, more bullets, and armour-piercing rounds shot forward by the ODST's all combined into one barrage hurtling with speed towards Nozdormu.

The Ghost Rider, now blinded by rage, summoned an immense ball of etheral fire in both of his palms, joined them together, and using his flames to bring himself closer to Nozdormu, fired a lethal beam of pure energy from the ball of fire, powered by its size and The Ghost Rider's rage.

The Freelancer meanwhile typed the last commands into his wristpad, shut it and then switched the firing mode on his weapon again to that of two large rockets - each a combination of 7 red orbs.
Locking onto his target, he rapid-fired both one after the other.
At the same time, his ship came online, also acquiring targer on Nozdormu, and then releasing a barrage of 12 ship-to-ship missiles at the Dragon.

These attacks joined the barrage created by Sebastian and his ODSTs.

Multiple dragons, various kinds of ammunition, fireballs; all came hurtling for Nozdormu in one swift attack. It was too much being bombarded from every direction and it caused his senses to overload. In this distraction the Artificer's incantation began to take hold. Suddenly the dragon shone in a bright light, blinding everything for a moment before being followed with a sudden silence.

When all was visible again, they could see the tattered body of Nozdormu floating within the vacuum across from them. The blue lines of energy that indicated the pulling of planets had dissipated, and nothing happened until the Artificer shut his book.

As the dust settled, Jaya gently landed on the stone platform and retracted her wings. She sheathed her sword and looked around her, at each of the dragon siblings in the space around them, and the friends she had just fought alongside. For a moment she just stood in silence, taking in the fact that they had prevailed. They had just defeated the Starforger, an all-powerful being, themselves.

"We did it." She finally spoke, smiling at each of them. At last she looked to her mother, and gave the biggest smile of anyone.

With Nozdormu vanquished, Dan made no delay in leaving. As he swooped around the vacuum of space, he gave one glance to Kitty. A silent adknowledgement of her, before disappearing once again into a red and black mist.

As Dan glanced at Kitty she flipped him the middle finger, if she ever saw him again she was going to chew his ass out. Kitty turned to her daughter with a wide smile on her face, pride showing as well. She came up to her daughter and hugged her tightly, making slit throat gestures at Ven behind Jaya's back. They were going to have words, like where he had been and how the fuck he was alive. The only person she didn't glare at or swear at was Bethany, she also stuck her tongue out at Eli.

The two Dragons in the sky landed to join the rest of the group.
A few small flashes of light would engulf the two of them as they reverted to their Human forms and stood with their remaining brother.

"You know, you'd think that just for once he'd stick around, at least for a thank you..." Beth commented coldly about Dan. Her older brother simply laughed at her.
