RPG Demons and Angels 2: Darkness Rises [M-VLS]

[Redemption]

[FONT=Times New Roman][b]OOC: I'd just like to point out that Kala isn't an angel....just yet. kairiKIce2 said he isn't in it anymore. And Heero has been away for a while. I don't know where, and I don't know if he's coming back. But his character is still essential to the story.[/b]


Kala twirled around gracefully, decapitating any demon around her with practiced ease. Out of the corner of her eyes, she could see the others fighting against the demons. They looked so mad, but what at? Kala felt none of the anger. Was it because she didn't know Sam well enough to get mad at the abduction of her? Was it that the Destroyer was a former team mate? Kala didn't understand it. Was it because it was friendship that made them angry? The bond between Sam and the others. That was it. The bond. Kala shared no such bond between her and Sam. It was just Kane.

Feeling guilty at the lack of conviction she had, Kala killed more and more demons. Some had cut her with their weapons, some clawed her clothes and skin with their talons. She was more afraid of them than anything.

Kala's strength started to leave her. It was tiring killing demons. Her blades wouldn't hew through them easily. It was an effort to slice through them properly. Her instincts started to waver. Suddenly she was tackled by a mutitude of demons and they buried her underneath their decaying bodies. Feeling the air being choked out of her, Kala tried to pry the decaying hands away from her neck. The more she struggled, the less strength she had to try the next time.

Her vision started to go blurry. Kala had now had no strength left to struggle. Her body screamed for air, but none would get to her lungs. Blackness started to crept over her.

[i]So this is it....this is what it feels like to die....[/i]

Suddenly Kane's smiling face appeared in front of her, in the blackness.

[i]Kane......I will miss you.....you were my first......and my last....[/i]

A burst of bright light flitered into the darkness, scaring it away. A figure walked towards her from a distance. She could make out it was a girl of similar stature to herself. But when she came closer, Kala saw that it was her, but with a greyish coloured set of wings from her back. The angel Kala smiled.

[b]" You don't have to give up so easily...."[/b]
" I can't fight anymore. I don't have the strength."
[b]" You have the strength Kala. Inside you. Why did you never let anyone see inside of you? Because you are strong - stronger than most others. Kane believes in you. Isn't that enough?"[/b]
" I don't. I don't have the strength."
[b]" Stop denying what you have always had inside of you Kala. You have strong from the start. Time is an everflowing river. Rivers start off small, and then build to mighty torrents. I think it is about time for the waterfall."[/b]

The angel Kala bent towards Kala and kissed her. Kala felt life flow into her body. The light began to recede, darkness replacing it. Forcing her eyes to open, Kala found herself still at the bottom of the demon dog-pile, with the demon with his hands around her throat. A steely glint appeared in Kala's eyes.

" You've messed with the wrong Elemental demon!"

With an explosion of energy, all the demon piled on top of her were incinerated in an instant. Kala rose to her feet. Her eyes had turned brilliant pink. Joining her two swords together, it suddenly lengthed to become a massive silver glaive. Two greyish wings burst from Kala's shoulder as she rose a little from the ground. She was no longer afraid.[/FONT]

OOC: I just thought I would mention that Heero [i]IS[/i] coming back.... :) Nothing would keep him away from his stories. He's dealing with family situations right now, and he may be gone for a while. Keep his character alive though Guys ;) Heero's not gone

Sam cut the demons in half, not noticing Jun going after the destroyer. It wasn't until Lyon called Jun's name when she saw him fighting Zack. His hatred was controlling him... but she saw no signs of his demon breaking through. This was Jun's hatred... and Jun's alone.

Several demons laid between them and she fought them off desperately in order to get to Jun. Jun threw fire at Zack, as Zack's lightning destroyed the fire and pummled into Jun.

Sam watched in horror as Jun fell back, but not until his rage let out a huge firey fury toward Zack. She cut the rest and went to Jun as Zack began burning, unable to control the fire.

Lyon wasn't too far behind Sam as they tried to revive him. Sam looked frantically for Kane, but he was helping Kala and Jack as they attacked the rest of the demons.

Sam stared at Jun trying to make him open his eyes. "Lyon, what's Zack doing?"

Lyon looked behind him and smiled. "He's out... I'm going to go finish the job." he said as he took out his sword and walked over to Zack.

Sam stared at Jun. Her hands were on his head, blood dripped from his head and lips. "Damn you Jun, don't die on me now!!" she said. They had been through hell together, and she wasn't about to leave him for dead.

She wasn't going to lose him too.

Memories of everyone she had loved and lost because she wasn't powerful enough, swept across her mind. Her brother and sister... her parents... she had mourned over the loss of Zack, but now the bastard was tearing apart her life... taking the last one that meant anything to her away.

His breathing shortened, and she paniked. "Jun I'll NEVER forgive you if you leave me now..." she said. She closed her eyes as she put her entire strength into him, giving everything she had to offer to him... hoping he would respond. She used her powers to heal the wounds in his body, and concetrated on the pain. She felt another presence in her... it was strange, but she finally realized that she was feeling the demon inside of him. Her mind was completely in tune with Jun's... and she felt his thoughts... his pain. She shuddered for a second at all the pain, and slowly, she smiled. "You will not take him" she said softly. The pain screamed inside of him, and Jun twisted under her. She knew the demon was fighting for this oppurtunity... she knew he was coming for control.

Osiris touched her shoulder and she felt another strength... the strength from friends. She smiled again. "You will not take him... too many people love him... die Lucifer... die slowly..." she said as she held onto Jun. Jun writhed around and finally stopped moving all together. For a brief moment, the pain inside of him drew out all of his senses, leaving an empty shell. She held onto him... from the inside, not letting him forget the ones that mean something to him... not letting him throw away the ones that mattered to him now. For a moment, she felt his emptyness... and waited to hear Jun again.

Osiris looked behind him and saw Lyon fighting a now strong Zack. If angels could curse, Osiris would be cursing up a storm. He squeezed Sam's shoulder and went to help Lyon.

Sam felt him leave, but she smiled still... she felt him coming back to her... remembering those that he cared for... and not turning his back on them... he was strong... and now he was even stronger. Lucifer was dying inside... suddenly Jun opened his eyes and Sam looked at him. A smile came to her lips. But just at that moment, she felt a scream in his mind as well as her own. She was completely in sync with Jun, and she felt Lucifer fighting against his own demise. Suddenly, a large shadow engulfed the both of them, as Lucifer tried to take over Sam's body. She fought against it, and felt Lucifer leave Jun and enter the body of another demon that was behind her. Jun screamed and fell back in agony. She felt the pain, but not as intense... she felt him leave Jun's body like a ripping of one's soul. She stared at Jun and he was in so much pain... but slowly a relief swept across his face.

"Damn you Jun... you left me in dormant for 5 years... bastard, I'll make you scream." Lucifer said as he was about to throw an intense firey fury his way. Sam screamed and jumped in front of it. She was completely weak, and the fire penetrated through her, burning her inside. She struggled for control as the pain felt as if it was eating her alive. She opened the earth with her last bit of energy swallowing Lucifer, and burying him deep within the earth, down to the fires of hell where he belonged.

Jun was slowly recovering and looked at Sam who was dying. He screamed for Osiris who was still helping Lyon fight Zack. He stared at her and she fought for control... she fought to calm the fire insideof her... to stop it before it killed her. She looked at Jun and smiled briefly. "I love you Jun... and I promised never to leave you... and I don't plan on breaking that promise."

Jun just stared at her as she closed her eyes and fought that coming darkness. She held on for as long as she could... she held on for Jun... she held on for Kane and Kala... for Lyon... her powers with the earth were strong... and the earth helped her live... helped her go on and live.... helped her fight whatever obstacle was in her way... she held onto the hope of things getting better... being happy... living with the one she loved for all of her days... she shut her eyes tightly and screamed in agony as she fought for these things. She would try to live.... for the sake of living...
