(Third Person POV)
Erion flew straight down, aiming at Maliketh who didn't move an inch.
"Erion, calm down!!!" She said as she held on, "Please!!"
The young dragon ignored her please and crashed down onto the ground, against Maliketh who took the hit head on.
Both Natsu and Gray had managed to jump away to safety, well aware of Erion's reckless charges and what they were capable of.
Jason hadn't move from the spot where he was at, rely taking the shockwave of Erion's charge like nothing.
"Fuck." He said, "I'm gonna ground you for this, Erion! I told you not to follow ! Dammit, boy, how many tis do you gotta worry your mom!"
He then saw that Maliketh was holding onto Erion's snout with ease, the massive dragon struggling to push forward.
"Hello, Erion." Maliketh said, "It has been a long ti since you and I have fought. Well, I would assu you're but a child at this mont. For that, I apologize, since I have to do this."
In an instant, Maliketh kicked Erion's chin from underneath, causing his head to jerk upwards violently.
"Erion!" Erza exclaid
Maliketh then jumped up and followed up with a vicious hook to the dragon's head, sending him crashing down hard.
Jason widened his eyes in shock, baffled by the act. There were few individuals that could overpower Erion in pure raw strength, him being one of them. But for Maliketh to do it with ease, it was surprising to him.
Erza, who was atop Erion's back, had already jumped up and landed on the ground, avoiding taking damage from the crash.
She then looked as Maliketh dropped down on the ground, her eyes widened at both the feat demonstrated and Maliketh's magic power.
"W-Who..." She said
Maliketh looked at her, "Erza Scarlet, Queen of The Fairies." He said, "In the flesh. It is an honor to et you and a sha to fight you."
Erza summoned a sword as she readied stance, "I don't know who you are." She said, "But I've faced many who've respected , you are the sa."
"Oh, but that is the furthest from the truth," Maliketh said, "I am face-to-face with Titania herself, in her glory days, far different than what I am used to."
Erza scowled, "Huh?"
Jason, who had ran towards Erion to check on him, looked behind him, "What..." He said, "Does he an...?"
Erion let out a growl as he began to get up, "Dragon...." His deep draconic voice was heard
"Stay down, dammit." Jason scolded his son, "I won't have you fighting, okay?"
Erion ignored him and looked at Maliketh, letting out a snarl as he planted his front feet on the ground.
"Enough!" Natsu said as he and Gray jumped into view, "Let's jump this fool!"
He engulfed his fists in flas as he threw a punch at Maliketh.
"It won't work." He said as he raised his arm and blocked it, "Futile."
He pushed Natsu away and imdiately dodged Gray's black ice spear and summoned another longsword, parrying Erza's sword with ease.
"You're quite good." Erza said as she followed up with many sword slices
Maliketh blocked all of her swings and countered with a simple boot to the chest, sending her flying back.
Jason caught Erza as she grimaced in pain, "Easy!" He said
Erza looked down at her armor, a dent in the breastplate, "Who is this guy?" She said, "He's strong...."
"I am trying to figure that out." Jason said, "But he's no joke. He was sent by the Black Black God, Alatreon."
"A God?" Erza said
Maliketh readied a stance as he released an aura, "That is correct." He said, "If any of you stand in the way of my objective, I shall slay you too."
Jason walked in front of Erza and looked over at Erion who was growling, "Stay back, son." he said, "I'm handling this. Hey, Maliketh."
He looked at the Black Knight, who was readying for an attack.
"You're a Dragon, ain't you?" Jason asked
Erza looked at him, "A Dragon?" She asked
Natsu began to sniff the air, "I don't know, he doesn't sll like it." He said, "I an...he reeks of that dark power you have, Jason. But that's probably because he engulfed himself in it."
"Yea, that could be it, to hide his scent." Gray said
Erion took a step forward, "Dragon....."
Maliketh didn't react much, "So you've figured it out." He said, "It changes nothing, Jason Darkborne. Today is the day-"
"Shut up." Jason said, "I fought and beat Acnologia, what makes you think I'll lose to you."
"Acnologia didn't have the resolve that I do." Maliketh said, "He rely craved destruction. I crave....no, I need VENGEANCE."
He lunged at Jason and swung his sword at him, cutting him in the chest with trendous speed. Jason took the attack without moving an inch, blood exploding from his chest.
Erion let out a roar and raised his claws in the air but stopped as Jason raised his arm, signaling for him to stop.
Maliketh took a step back, seeing that Jason was unfazed by the attack, despite blood pooling out, "Hm..." He said, "I ant to cut you in half...perhaps you're tougher than I believed."
Jason tilted his head, "Oh really?" He said as his wound began to regenerate, "Maybe your resolve ain't strong enough to cut deeply. If you're going to beat , give all you got."
Maliketh gripped his sword even tighter, "What do you know?" He said with anger in his voice, "What do you know, Jason!!! You don't know anything!!"
"Enlighten ." Jason said as he raised his fist and engulfed it in his black light, "I have an idea of who you might be, but I want you to say it."
"Jason?" Erza said
Maliketh raised his sword, "You..." He said
"The way you spoke to Erion....and Erza..." Jason said as he gave him a serious look, "You look like you know them well. Erion is but a baby. And Erza is still young and you spoke of her glory days.....You....You're from the future, ain't you?"
Gray widened his eyes, "The Future?"
"The hell?" Natsu said, "That's possible?"
"Tch." Maliketh said, "It matters not."
"Oh it doesn't?" Jason said, "Well, I guess it doesn't. You're after my life, so I guess I gotta beat the shit out of you and make you go and tell Alatreon that I'm coming for his ass too."
"The Blazing Black God." Maliketh started, "He is all-powerful. You're nothing but a speck of dust to him."
"We'll see about that." Jason said as he lunged at him
"Black God's Fist"
Jason swung his fist at him, firing off the massive black beam and hit Maliketh dead-on. The Black Knight, however, took the attack with no resistance and rely walked through it, unfazed.
Jason noticed this and widened his eyes, "What?!" He exclaid
"You would think that there would be a reason Alatreon sent , instead of his Acolytes, to kill you." Maliketh said as he neared Jason, "That reason being that I am the only one capable of countering your Black God Slayer power."
Jason pulled his fist back, dispelling his black light and watching as Maliketh was engulfed in a thick and shadowy aura, magic power being released violently as the ground shook.
"What?" Jason said, "Everyone get back! Erion, back up!"
"It shouldn't matter if I do this now, the result will be the sa." Maliketh's voice bood, "With Erion here, I will be at a disadvantage in this form."
Jason widened his eyes as he saw a distorted figure grow from where Maliketh stood, massive black wings sprouting as massive pressure of air was release.
"Jason!" Erza exclaid, "He's transforming!"
Erion glared at this, "Dragon!!" He growled
"Shit!" Gray shouted, "This magic power!! It's thick! Just like Acnologia's!"
"Fuck!" Natsu said as he buckled to his knees, "What is this feeling?!"
Jason stared as Maliketh's draconic form fully manifested in front of him. It was the shape of a massive four-legged dragon, covered in obsidian-colored steel plates which resembled armor. His wings, which were extended where also pitch black, lined with silver that shone brightly. Jason noticed that there were blades on the edge of his wings. Maliketh's tail, swung behind him, a massive blade resembling a sword at the end of it.
This appearance reminded Jason of Primordial Malzeno, but in a pitch black color.
Jason was speechless, the sight of this dragon shocked him to his core.
"I am Maliketh." Maliketh's deep and vicious voice bood, "The Primordial Knight Dragon."
"And I shall kill you right here and now."
