"I created your whole playbook." Charles commented.
"Noble Phantasm." Jackal said as two more spirit wolves appeared.
"What is that trick going to do?" Charles said with a frown.
"Soul Caliber 1." Jackal said as the spirit wolf turned into an orb. In front of the black gun. Then Jackal pulled the trigger. As a beam of brilliant white light completely destroyed his none dominant arm again. It also has the stomach and torso half destroyed.
"Damn that a strong attack." Charles said with a smile. "That is a good attack." He spoke with pride.
"I wonder why you are praising me?" Jackal asked in a cold voice. Looking at Charles with a mix of surprise and paranoid.
"Starlight: Heal." Charles said. As the torso, stomach and then arm fixes itself.
"You never fail to surprise me." Jackal said with a small glare.
"I wish I could say the same." Charles said wistfully. As the second spirit wolf charged in as once again he grabbed it by the throat. Holding it up in the air. Its legs flailed to try and get it freedom. "I think I can try something." Charles said with a cruel smile.
"I know that look it the 'I am about to do something dangerous.'" Jackal said with fear in his eyes.
"Soul Reaping." Charles said as the wolf started to disappear. Into the body of Charles.
"How did you do that?" Jackal asked, looking at Charles with a minor bit of fear.
"An Ancient Magic called Life Magic. I just reverse it so instead of giving life it takes life." Charles explains with a huge smile.
"Noble Phantasm." Jackal said as two more spirit wolves form.
"Great this again." Charles said with his head shaking.
"Soul Caliber 2." Jackal said. As both of the wolves turned into one orb in front of the black gun Jackal. Jackal pulled the trigger letting loose a blinding white light. The light fades showing the destruction. It was a wasteland, no trees there was nothing. "Goodbye." Jackal said turning on the ruins.
"Did you know my clones can make clones. But they don't explode sadly. As the clone of clones can't make another generation of clones." A voice said as I looked Charles was sitting on a tree branch.
"When?" Jackal asked, looking with shock at Charles.
"You don't get where I am without planning for everything." Charles said with a huge smile. "To answer your question when your two wolves exploded I made a clone. But then it made a clone." Charles took another step.
"The only thing constant is change right?" Jackal quoted.
"You do listen. That was a shock." Charles said as he took another step. Jackal lifted his gun but then suddenly he pointed it at his head. Then pulls the trigger. His body fell like a sac of rocks. What happened? The rain stopped at that moment.
"Is this a trick?" I asked, looking around. Charles ran to Jackal.
"Jacky!" Charles said his eyes were wide. He held Jackal's head on his lap. Being covered in blood like canvas being covered in red paint. Charles looked frantically at him.
"Sorry Dad. They made me…" Jackal said as suddenly the light fades from his eyes. As raindrops hit his face. Wait, it is not raining. I looked over at Charles' face. He was crying for someone else. As I saw something it was a piece of paper. It read.

Dear Dad
I had my hands tied to do their bidding. Look where you sleep.

As Charles grabbed both Jackal and Ivory. Also taking the placing them in his holster that he stole from Jackal's body. "Okay there." Charles said, lifting Jackal's body.
"Why are you carrying Jackal's dead body?" I asked, landing on Charles' shoulder. Giving the body a piggyback ride.
"Why do you care?" Charles asked, looking at me. His eyes looked with hate. "Och!" Charles said as I looked past Charles' head to see. The transformation.
"He was a Dragon Shifter." I was shocked. They were rare. Their blood is like a fine treat to vampires. The last settlement of over 3,000 was guarded by a Legendary Greater Dragon that Hellsing defeated 20 years ago. Lux led an army of over 100,000 Ghouls, Low Class Vampires and Non Noble Vampires. His whole army was wiped out. To mere tatters with fewer than 100 vampires survived. He killed 563 adult females, 217 adult males and 176 children that had been confirmed dead. He managed to capture 346 children. Sebastian killed over five million because they were his favorite food.
"I thought they were all dead." Charles said. The Pendragon family has a well known tradition that to become an adult you need to kill a Dragon Shifter.
"I guess not." Charles said with a shrug. As they got back to the cave. They slowly walked back into the cave to see a pendant. It had a silver bat on it. On a blue base. It had a journal that the pendants were on. Charles opened the journal. What was in it was shocking.

Dear Dad
I am so sorry about betraying you when they attack the manor they forced me to kill my allies. In exchange they sent a medic and then they placed a loyalty seal so if I betrayed them my heart would stop.
I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me. As I always thought of you as a father. I do have a few notes on them. But at this point you must have figured out that I am a Dragon Shifter.
I am sorry for not telling you. But I have a final gift for you. An Ichor bath made with Chaos Beast that I hunted. Take my body and place it on the Chaos Beast please.
-Love Your Son Jacky

He closed the small books. Charles shook his head. "I can't hate you my boy no matter what you do." Charles spoke out loud.
"You truly cry for someone. You're becoming more human." I said, shaking my head.
