Broken Angel Wings
By Angel-Demon1
Hi, friends! Back with another new story even though I have a whole bunch out that're incomplete. xD Forgive me but I just had to get this down before it left me.
I just decided to make this a DragonBall story after taking a long shower xD The first chapter doesn't show the characters from the series but I think the next chapter will.
Please note: There are Angels. There is a 'Devil'. There is a 'God'. All those are in this story. That doesn't mean I believe in those things. But it doesn't mean that I don't believe in them either. :P Really, it comes and goes...which isn't good but it just happens...you know?
Anyway, please note that I personally don't know whether I think of heaven this way or not xD But it just a story and it shouldn't be like...a holy book for someone or something. Please, again don't think that I'm dissing anyone's religion or not. I couldn't give a damn if you believed that god was the pizza guy and your TV remote. It's what you want and no one can change that.
ONE MORE TIME:
This story is just to read for your personal pleasure. Not to be taken as what people think of religions, or whether or not life/heaven/hell is really like this.
Thank you.
There was a rumble, a crack, and a loud thump. The Gate had fallen and the devil's henchmen came swarming into the Cloud.
The Cloud is the Angel's home. What they consider the city for pure beings. It didn't matter what race they were, whether they were human or animal, or any other species. The Cloud is exactly what it says. A large Cloud hidden behind the rays of the sun. The yellows, whites, slight blues, purples, and pinks were just right with the lighting they were exposed to.
The Cloud held all the Angels' home and protected them from Devil. God lived near the center of the city, right next to the large golden statue. It was of a female. They assumed it was an Angel, but it had no wings.
Devil is the master of Hell. He controlled all of the evil in the world and made sure to try to get the Cloud. He usually failed but today seemed to be a different story. As his henchmen, called Devilles, attacked the city, the Angels armed themselves with golden spears, golden bows and arrows. Almost everything in Cloud was gold. It was like the color scheme was White and Gold. The Angels wore white, pure white. As white as their large wings.
The women Angels wore dresses made of the fine silk-like fabric from the Cloud that was their home. They took small pieces and wove them until they made their clothes. The men wore only a cloth that covered their bottoms and groin. They all wore no shoes, for the soft Cloud protecting their feet from impurities. They all wore a golden strap that held their weapons close to them at all times. Whether it was a spear, a staff, or bow and arrows, The golden strap held it completely in place.
The Cloud is a very peaceful place and almost was always quiet. Though it was vibrant and lively there, people found no need to break the peaceful silence when they could use motions to help one another. Sometimes when Devil attacked, they all spoke to each other to make sure they were alright. There was no law against speaking, they just didn't want to.
Sometimes though, on special days when the days were longest and nights were shortest, they had a festival right in the middle of the city near the Statue. Everyone talked and laughed and shared experiences then.
But today, something terrible was going to happen. They all felt it. When they heard the commotion, their fears were realized.
Devil was attacking and he brought at least twelve times as many henchmen as he usually did when he fought them.
It was going to be a very long fight...
~.~.~.~.~
A petite female angel was currently running across the town, going the opposite way of the rest of the Angels. Her wings seemed strangely thinner than the others' wings.
A large male Angel grabbed onto her shoulder. "Where are you going?"
"I can't find Hikari or Hiroki." She said quietly, her voice slightly hoarse from not using it since last year. He nodded and let her shoulder go.
"Quickly find them, we'll need all the help we can get." She nodded and began running again.
She heard a squeak sound and recognized it as Hikari's crying. She quickly ran towards the noise and found her children hiding behind a building with a Deville stalking towards them, raising his sword to slice their heads.
She grabbed her bow off of her back and grabbed an arrow. She aimed quickly, letting her pure energy flow through the shaft before shooting it at the Deville. It cried out as it disappeared in a red dust.
Hikari and Hiroki looked over to their mother and ran towards her. "M-Momma!" They hugged her legs.
"Come on, we have to get you to a safe place." She bent down and let Hiroki crawl on her back as she picked up Hikari.
Hikari had straight, long, red hair that always got in her way. Her mother helped her tie it back into a bun that she stuck flowers into to make her look like a princess. She was short for her age, just like her mother is, was, and always will be.
Hiroki was Hikari's older twin by three minutes. He had naturally messy, yet smooth, red hair. He was taller than most children, like his father. Hiroki took more after his father while Hikari took after her mother.
Both children had their father's green eyes, but had their mother's kind features. They were five years old and hadn't grown their wings yet.
Their mother hid them with all the other children and told them to stay with each other at all times. With that done, she ran to help with the battle.
~.~.~.~.~
During the first few minutes of the battle, it seemed as though the Angels and the Devilles were evenly matched. Then, something happened and the Devilles suddenly had the upper hand.
"Derrick, where's yar wife? Sh' knows she's ar' best chance a' defeatin' these foes." said Arther, Derrick's best friend.
Derrick had brown hair, which had a few strands of red in it. He was tall, which is where Hiroki got his height from. His eyes were light green and expressive.
His wings were strong and larger than average.
"She's on her way, She had to find the kids ya'know." He said as he helped an Angel fight off a large Deville from attacking a group of children trying to get away. It was soon turned to dust.
"Well, Reia had betta hurry. We need her an' we need her now." He said, grunting in the effort of holding back yet another Deville. Somehow, it got a hold of his sword and was shocked to death from its purity. Arther quickly picked up his weapon and ran into the mass of people fighting against the large Devil.
Derrick looked behind him and saw Reia's small form running from the city, leading at least thirteen Deville's away. Instead of flying like every other Angel, Reia always walked. Ever since an accident a few years ago, she decided not to fly until she was safe around other people doing it.
Flashback...
She and her friends and joined in a flying talent show. They all flew high up, higher than any other Angels, and came speeding back down. And just before hitting Cloud, they turned sharply and flew towards one another. They then grabbed hands and flew up again, twirling around at a furious pace, some golden dust from their wings flying around them making a type of golden mist.
But somehow, Reia had accidentally let go of her friend's hand and began plummeting down to the cloud. Because of the high speeds, her wings couldn't expand to stop her fall. She screamed as she saw she was going to land right in the middle of the crowd. Her friends tried speeding after her but they didn't make it in time and she crashed to the Cloud, a large puff of it coming up and covering the surrounding area.
They quickly landed and ran over to Reia.
"Reia-chan!" They cried as they moved away the wooden benches. They saw Reia, sitting there with a cut down her arm and she was crying while holding someone in her lap. He was unconscious with a bleeding head.
They had taken him to the healer and she had said he'd be fine.
End flashback...
'Because of that though...She never flies.' Derrick frowned. 'Weird how that's how we met though...Ironic how she had to fall on me for me to fall in love.'
Derrick quickly shook his head, focusing on Reia and flying towards her, helping to destroy the Devilles.
As soon as that task was completed, Derrick grabbed Reia by her waist and flew towards Devil. Reia blushed slightly, at the closeness of his body heat. She should be used to it but she never was.
"You ready for the drop?" He asked, almost directly above Devil. She nodded, determined. She already had her bow and arrow ready, full of pure energy.
Derrick was now directly overhead Devil and let go of Reia's waist, letting her drop directly on Devil. Just before she landed, she shot her arrow, watching Devil cry out as the purity fought with the evil in his body. When she landed, Devil grabbed her, his whole hand covering from her neck to her feet.
She whimpered as he began to squeeze her tightly. Devil pulled out her arrow, crushing it in his other hand. She heard a snap and hoped it wasn't one of her bones. She looked down and saw that her bow and been crushed under the force of his palm and dropped down onto Cloud.
Most of the best fighter Angels came to her rescue, using their various weapons to stab Devil's wrist. He quickly dropped her and she began plummeting down to Cloud. Derrick quickly flew towards her, catching her in mid-air.
He landed in a safe spot, behind their house which was on the outskirts of the village. She was making small noises of pain and he checked her over, looking for any wounds. He saw that one of her wings had been badly bent and winced himself. An Angels' wings were their weak points. When they just got the slightest wound on their wing, it causes them immense pain.
"Stay here, Reia." He stood up. "I mean it." He said, knowing she probably wouldn't listen anyway.
He took off to the sky and began attacking Devil again. Reia sat on her calves, watching the battle progress from her hiding spot. Many Angels were injured badly and being taken to the middle of the city, where they'd be safe.
Reia bit her lip before standing and sneaking from behind the building. She saw the statue standing proudly in the middle of Cloud. Then she noticed that God had left his Scepter leaning against the statue.
She bit her lip again. She knew it was wrong to use his personal weapons but she need to help keep the balance. And her weapon was broken. She nodded and gently handled the weapon that was too large for her person.
She then snuck passed the houses, making sure to stay out of sight of Devil. She snuck behind him, ducking under his large leg. He barely noticed her. She experimentally flapped her wing, holding in a scream at the immense pain she was feeling.
She shook it off, feeling tears form. She lifted herself off of the ground and slowly but surely made her way above Devil. She lifted God's scepter and made almost all of her energy go into the weapon. She didn't notice but she began to glow brightly and made her way in front of Devil. He growled loudly and brought his hand up, slamming it into Reia.
Luckily, at that moment her wings stopped working for a few seconds and she dropped a few feet, dodging his hand. Surprisingly, she landed on one of their tall buildings. She heard all of the Angels and Devilles stop fighting to watch what would happen. She backed up to the edge of the building and took a deep breath before running towards Devil and jumping off the side of the building, using her momentum to make herself fly faster.
He roared at her and swung again. Just before his hand hit, she threw the scepter. It hit him square in between his eyes and he stumbled backwards, falling off of Cloud. But not before grabbing Reia and stabbing her unwounded wing with the scepter. It pierced through her wing and she screamed in agony, quickly grabbing onto Cloud, trying to stay up.
Derrick quickly ran towards her, not thinking of flying.
"Momma!" He heard and saw Hikari and Hiroki running towards Reia out of the corner of his eyes. He reached her first and grabbed onto her, trying to pull her up. He saw that Devil was hanging onto her legs, his weight slowly pulling them both down.
Hikari and Hiroki grabbed onto her arms and tried pulling her up as well. All of the Angels that were fighting quickly finished off the rest of Devilles and ran over, helping them to pull Reina over.
Though, still with the help of at least three hundred Angels, She was still slipping. Tears were streaming down her face as she felt her body being stretched in two different directions and her wings caused her even more pain.
"L-Let...go..." She said weakly, her voice cracking from the lack of use. Everyone gasped. Reia rarely talked.
Derrick paid them no attention. "What're you talking about?" He said, beginning to be pulled forward as well.
"If you don't, y-you'll be pulled down, too." She said, letting go of his arms, making herself fall faster. He growled.
"Reia, don't..." He said, pulling harder. "What about Hikari and Hiroki?" He asked. He knew that if she fell off of Cloud, she wouldn't be able to come back. She would be an Angel in between and never be able to use her wings, even though she rarely used them.
"If I have to l-leave..." She felt more tears fall down her cheeks at never being able to see her children. "You'll still be here to take care of them..."
"Reia-"
"Please, Derrick." She said and looked into his eyes. He could see the amount of pain she was in. Both physical and mental. She could also see that he was hurt that she would have to leave.
Derrick closed his eyes. "I love you, Reia." He heard her sob.
"I love you, too, Derrick." With that he slowly let go of her arms and she instantly plummeted down to Earth. Derrick grabbed onto the back of his children's clothes, as they were still holding onto Reina.
His bangs covered his face as he heard all of Reia's friends, which was mostly everyone, cry out and try to catch her before she fell too far. But they were too late.
"D-Derrick?" Arther asked, hearing what they had said to each other. Arther put a hand on his shoulder. Derrick shrugged it off and rushed off to his house. Arther sighed and looked down to Earth.
"B' safe, Reia."
~.~.~.~.~
A man with hair that stuck in every direction was walking home, sighing. He felt pretty alone. Chi-chi, his wife, had left him when she realized that he would never stop fighting. She said she wanted someone who would get a job and make a real living.
He sighed again and looked around. He thought he heard something like a crash...He shrugged probably his imagination.
~.~.~.~.~
Reia groaned as she opened her eyes. She gasped in surprise and pain. She wasn't in Hell...She was on Earth! She sighed in relief. She was currently in an alleyway, cleaner than most.
'At least I won't have to be down there...' She thought. She looked at her wings and winced. They were matted and bloody, one bent and one had God's scepter stuck in it. Her eyes widened.
His scepter! She didn't give it back. 'Oh no...How will I give it back?'
She heard footsteps approach and backed into a box, hiding from sight.
"I heard somethin' crash, Joe. I swears it!" A male voice said. Soon two men came into sight. They were wearing black leather clothes and had on fingerless gloves. The man called 'Joe' looked around.
"I don' see nuthin, Craig." He said. "Now le's go. I wanna get home to ma' babe." They turned around and she sighed in relief.
"Hey. Hey! You hear dat Joe? Like som'one breathin'" She saw Joe nod. "Yeah, I heards it."
They began looking around. Soon they spotted Reia and grinned.
"Well, wha's is? A li'l dove dat got los'?" Joe grabbed her roughly by the arm and pulled her out of the box.
"Wha' the hell, wings?" Craig grabbed her wing that was bent and pulled it. She hissed in pain.
"Som'one likes dressin' up." He got close to her face. "Hows 'bout you dresses up fer me?" Craig breathed in her face and she gagged. He smelled of alcohol and feces.
Joe pulled a knife out of his back pocket and put it at the top of her dress, beginning to cut it. "What are ya's a mute?"
Reia tried breaking away from their hold but only succeeded in cutting herself on Joe's knife. They laughed and Craig folded her arms behind her back, pressing her face into the wall. They began pulling up her dress.
She felt hot tears stream down her cold face once again that day. 'D-Derrick...I wish you were here to protect me...'
She couldn't use her powers on them. They were human and she wasn't allowed to. It went against Heaven's rules. Even if she wasn't there anymore, she just couldn't forget about the rules.
She sobbed as she felt them touch the place that only Derrick has touched. When they began pulling down her panties, something in her cracked and she screamed. As loud as she could.
~.~.~.~.~
Goku froze. He definitely heard that scream. He turned and began running in the direction of the scream. Even though he felt sad and angry, he didn't want someone to get hurt because of his self-pity. He was facing the alleyway in four seconds flat, hoping he wasn't too late.
What he saw made him freeze in shock. Two guys were man-handling a small woman wearing ripped white clothes and had...wings?
He growled, even though he didn't know why, and said in a loud voice:
"Hey! Get off of her!" The two men froze and looked over to him. They couldn't see his face because of the street lamps light and thought he was a cop.
"W-We ain't doin' nuthin' Officer! We was jus' showin' dis lady a good time." He glared, ignoring how they thought he was a cop.
Suddenly, he was in front of them, holding them up by their necks.
"E-Ey, you ain't no cop!" Craig gasped. Goku threw them against the wall, making sure not to use his full strength. They hit the wall and fell unconscious. He turned towards the woman and saw her breathing heavily, with tears steadily streaming down her face. She had fallen to the ground on her knees, watching what was happening. She used her hands to cover herself, seeing as they completely ruined her dress. Her wings seemed to be smaller than he thought. 'Why does she have wings anyway?'
Goku knelt down in front of her, still at least two heads taller than her.
"Hey...Are you alright?" He asked, using a gentle voice now. She didn't say anything and nodded.
"Do you have a house I can take you to?" She shook her head no. She tried to speak but she couldn't seem to be able to.
"You can't speak?" He asked. She frowned slightly, biting her lip. He shook his head.
"It's fine, I'll just take you to my house, okay?" She looked up at him, with his hand stretched out to her. Something told her to trust him. She took his hand and he gently pulled her up.
She winced as she put pressure on her right foot. He noticed her pain and saw her struggling to handle that and her ripped clothes. He told her to lean against the wall and she nodded, confused.
He then pulled off his orange shirt and gave it to her.
"So you won't have to keep worrying about your clothes." She nodded in thanks and took it. She looked up at him and turned slightly red.
He chuckled and turned around to give her privacy. She tapped on his shoulder and he turned around. She had taken off the top portion of her outfit, holding it in her hand. The bottom portion, she tied up so that she wasn't stepping on it. His shirt looked like it was five sizes too big for her, like a dress. It almost went down to the bottom of her calves. Her wings had come out of the back of the collar of his shirt. He saw some blood was on his shirt but he though nothing of it.
He knelt down. "Get on my back, I'll take you to my house, okay?" She nodded even though he couldn't see it and climbed on his back. He stood up. "Hang on tight." Was the only warning he gave before he took of in the air.
She smiled. It felt like she was using her wings to fly. She closed her eyes and felt the cool breeze go through her hair, which needed a good washing.
Somewhere between his house and the alley, she fell into a deep sleep.
