Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs and idea for this story which is pretty damn amazing. I never expected this much traffic XD Thanks for the support guys! And I'm happy you like my writing style, DragonFang2011. I learned how to write from reading your stories. Not a lie. Ember of Despair was the first story I found on here.
Shadow: Yeah, and she wouldn't stop reading, too. That's how she fell slightly behind in sixth grade.
me: DON"T TELL ANYONE THAT! DX
Shadow: AAH! *gets whacked with the metal pole I stole from Kyoya*
Kyoya: SHE GOT INTO MY HOUSE AGAIN?!
Ryuga: ... You just put your favorite OC in a coma...
me: I did?... OH MY GOD! SHADOW, ARE YOU DEAD!?
Ryuga: She's not gonna answer, idiot.
me: *glare* Watch it. I have Ryugafangirl's spaghetti ball...
Miyako: Where did she even get that?
Ryuga: *shrug* It's a crazy fandom world, I guess.
Miyako: True... Hey, isn't there a story that needs me butt kicking in?
me: Overconfident much? *sigh* On with the story! *flings spaghetti ball in Ryuga's pants*
Ryuga: *does the chicken dance* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Two girls watched a group of demon spawns quietly from the top of a tall pine tree. The spawns sat around a campfire, obviously drunk. One was flirting with a girl in the group. Another was doing who knows what behind a tree. And some guywas drinking a whole keg of beer, liquid sloshing on his face. One of the girls made a disgusted face while the other gagged. "Let's get them," said the one that was gagging.
"Definitely," said the other.
One spread her dragon wings and held the other by the arms. She pumped her wings hard, rising into the air before gliding down to ambush the demons. The girl being carried by her partner kicked one of the guys in the face and dropped from the other's grasp, doing a somersault as she landed. She sat up on one knee, stabbing a demon girl in the gut. The other girl was busy picking up a demon, carrying him high into the air before dropping him. An audible CRUNCH was heard as the body impacted on the ground.
The other girl was in a sword fight with a young demon girl. A demon boy stalked up behind her and was about to knife the girl.
"Miyako!" shrieked the girl with wings.
The girl, Miyako, spun around to parry the blow. She swiped at the demon boy's stomach, then spinning around to dodge the demon girl's strike before stabbing her in the thigh.
"Thanks, Bry!"
"Anytime, man."
Bry lodged her foot into a demon's stomach, sending him flying. Another demon was about to stab her, but she hit him in the face with one of her wings before elbowing her in the neck. Bry unsheathed her sword and beheaded another demon. Miyako pounced on another demon, but he elbowed her in the stomach, making her slip off and clutch the bruised spot. The man was about to strike her when Bry's legs wrapped around his neck and twisted, snapping his neck and killing him.
Bry lightly flapped her wings and alighted softly on the ground. The two looked around them, finding no more opponents. Bry to a testing whiff of the air to pick up anymore scents. "We're alone."
"That was easy. Damn, if those demons fight like that, the Devi doesn't stand a chance."
Bry's look darkened. "Don't get too cocky, Miyako."
"Yeesh. Yes, Mother," said the girl sarcastically, "let's go back to camp. Kyoya's waiting."
Bry gave Miyako a funny look, wiggling her eyebrows and smiling a goofy smile. A light tinge of pink crossed Miyako's cheeks.
"Shut the hell up."
"Ha ha. Got you!"
"You wish."
"Alright, let's go."
Bry pumped her wings and lifted off, grabbing Miyako by the arms and speeding off towards camp. An hour later, Bry landed behind Miyako's tent and took to the air once more. The girl walked around to the front of the tent, lifted up the flap, and entered. She changed out of her battle cloths and slipped into her normal attire. She looked at herself in the mirror to check if she looked fine, since she was about to enter the presence of one of the four Generals of Heaven, Kyoya Tategami. Angels are perfect, right?
Miyako has layered shoulder-length black hair and plum-purple eyes. Her skin is lightly tanned and she has an athletic runner's figure. Several battle scars are visible on her body and one on her right cheek that stretches from the bottom of her right eye all the way to her jaw line. Miyako is wearing a black hoodie over a purple tank top, black skinny jeans, black combat boots, a silver angel wing pendant, and a simple black belt. 'I guess I look okay.'
She switched off an oil lamp and left her tent. She walked along a well-worn leafy trail that twisted and turns through the camp. Miyako looked around her. Brown canvas tents were scattered among tall pine trees and hills. Angels that have come from Heaven were helping other angels with injuries they had gotten from battles and scouting for demons. It was their job, along with hers, to chase them back into the confines of Hell.
Pine needles and leaves crunched under her boots as she turned a corner.
"Hey, Miyako! Can you help me with this!"
Miyako looked to her side to see Madoka Amano mending another angel's wing. Miyako slowly walked over to them and picked up some gauze bandages. She sat down on a three-legged stool nest to Madoka. "Here," she said, handing the roll of bandages to the young healer.
"Thanks, Miya."
"Please don't call me that."
Madoka giggled. "Oops. So, where ya off to?"
"The General's tent."
"Going to see Kyoya?" said Madoka, wiggling her eyebrows at Miyako. Miyako glared at her.
"Shut up, there are people here."
"Sorry. Can you hold this?"
The healer held the gauze roll out to Miyako. The girl held it between her thumb and fore finger as Madoka wrapped the other angel's wing with the bandage. "All done! You can go now! But don't strain yourself!" Madoka called to her patient. "Thanks, Miyako. You better get going. You know how Kyoya is when he gets impatient."
"Alright. 'Bye."
Miyako stood up and jogged towards the General's tent. When the large tent was finally in view, she saw Bry waiting outside the entrance flaps. Bry is a dragon-angel hybrid, so that pretty much explains the wings. But she doesn't know what kind of dragon she was born from. Her eyes are ice blue and black hair, and blue bangs cover the right side of her face. Bry is wearing a gray muscle shirt and a leather jacket. She's also wearing jeans and combat boots. Her blue wings are folded behind her back.
"'Sup, bro."
"Hey," Miyako greeted back.
"I can't wait to report. Less demons out there now. I hear a war is starting."
"Doubt it," mumbled Miyako, "Those fools are afraid of us."
"Miyako, you're getting cocky again," warned Bry.
"Oops."
An angel boy poked his head out from between the tent's flaps and called the two girls in. They walked into the nicely furnished tent. There are four chairs in front of a table with a large map on it. There are four other angels in the seats. Obviously they are the four Generals of Heaven. The four looked up from the map and nodded to Miyako and Bry.
The two girls kneeled on the shaggy yellow carpet before the four generals.
"Lords Kyoya, Hope, Dunamis, and Alex, we have news to report," said Bry.
"Go on," said Hope Song, an Archangel. She was tall and curvy, with green eyes, golden flowing hair parted on the right, slightly tanned skin, and slightly noticeable muscles. Her wings were white and beautiful, and they shine silver when exposed to the sunlight. She's not in her normal attire, for she is a General of Heaven. Hope wears a long dark green-gray dress that is held up by wo small golden crosses on her shoulders. Her dress extends to her ankles and her feet are bare, but two golden ribbons wrap in a cross pattern up to her knees. There are more from her wrists to her elbows.
"We had found six demons in the forest, about 500 miles away in the hills."
None of the generals looked surprised. "Well then," said Alex, an angel with waist-high white hair and large knowledgeable green eyes. She wore a toga with a golden belt around her waist. She was also barefoot. Her white and gold-feathered wings were folded behind her back, making it seem like she is wearing a cape of feathers. It is said she is the Grim Reaper's sister, but mostly no one believes that story. "That's the fifth time this week."
"This isn't normal demon behavior. What do you think, Kyoya?" said Dunamis.
Kyoya was silent. "I think that they're trying to annoy us."
"Now, Kyoya, be serious," said Hope.
"I am, that's the thing!" exclaimed the boy, "What in hell are they planning?"
"I don't know. But its bad," said Alex.
Miyako stared at them. There was never anything fun about coming to these stupid meetings. But on the bright side, she gets to see Kyoya. Suddenly, the flaps burst open and a messenger angel ran in in a flurry of feathers. "Lords! I have seen some!"
The generals turned to look at the new arrival. "Speak, messenger," said Dunamis.
"There are demons in the northern hills! I smelt power practically MELTING from them!"
"Name them!" commanded Hope.
"I know not their names. But there are four of them."
For the first time Bry and Miyako saw, the four Generals of Heaven seemed slightly frightened and surprised. "So," said Kyoya, "They're finally turning up, huh."
"This is very bad," said Alex in a shaky tone.
Dunamis turned to Bry and Miyako. "You two."
"Yes, sir?" said the two girls at the same time.
"You are to hunt these demons, and destroy the most powerful one! Hurry! If one of them end, the Devil shall be at a GREAT disadvantage. Move!"
Miyako and Bry nodded, stood up, and walked out of the tent. When they were a good ways away, Miyako said, "Finally, some excitement!"
Bry rolled her eyes.
The two angels walked through thick trees. Miyako sniffed the air. "We're getting close. They practically STINK."
"Just like someone I know," joked Bry. Miyako glared.
They were approaching a clearing when they saw four girls with their backs to them. Miyako sniffed, looked at Bry, and nodded one of the unknown girls spoke, it startled the angels.
"Where the hell ARE they?"
"Bro, chill. It takes forever to find a stupid Angel camp."
"Kura, why are they so far?"
"Psh, I don't know. I don't know a damn thing about those goody-two shoes."
A sniffing sound was heard, and a girl with short black hair said, "I don't think we have to wait anymore."
The four girls turned around to face Miyako and Bry.
"Well, well," said one with blood-red eyes, "Freaking Angels. Please, you names?"
The two exchanged glances before introducing themselves.
"Well, I am Bryony, The Assassin.
"What is an angel doing being an assassin?" asked a girl with grey hair.
Bry narrowed her eyes. "Killing demons, duh."
"I am Miyako Matsabura, The Child of Hydra. Now state your names!"
The four demons exchanges evil looks.
"I am Sakura Satan, The Grim Reaper."
"I am Iron Ash, The Steel Dragon."
"I am Melanie, The Vampire."
"And I am Kasumi Deep, The Naiad Sorceress."
Miyako and Bry gasped. No wonder the four Generals of Heaven were nervous. These demons are the four Generals of the Underworld. A girl, Iron, stepped forward and pointed to Miyako. "Miyako Mastabura, I challenge you."
Miyako thought about it. Its said that Iron Ash is the second most powerful General, so it would still make a difference if she destroyed her. Miyako smirked. "I accept your challenge."
Iron had an evil glint in her steely grey-black eyes. "Perfect. I've heard you're the Iron Angel, no?"
"That's right. What's it to you?"
Iron laughed. "I am the Iron Demon."
Miyako swallowed. "Crap."
A huge blade a foot wide and two inches thick materialized in Iron's hand. The blade itself must at least be five feet long. Iron got in a battle ready position. We all know what everyone looks like from the previous chapter, yes? Good. Miyako unsheathed her sword placed one foot behind the other. 'I can do this. I'll win... I hope...'
Iron bursted forward and swung her large sword. Miyako barely managed to block the blow. Their swords danced and swayed and practically flew as the master warriors fought. The blades shined in the setting sun's rays, the light being the only thing giving Miyako energy. She had to finish this quickly. She at least had 30 more minutes until the sun goes down, and then, she'll have to fend for herself in the darkness. Iron swung her sword downwards, and Miyako hopped to the left, avoiding the large blade, and took a swing at the demon's back. Iron quickly picked up the sword and blocked. The two distanced from each other, sweating and breathing heavily. Miyako quickly recovered from the sun's light. She jumped high into the air, and came speeding down, smashing her blade into the ground creating a large crater. Miyako looked at the spot Iron had been, puzzled how she had gotten away.
Miyako looked up and saw Iron in the air, steel wings pumping .
"You've got to be joking," mumbled Miyako.
"Didn't I say something about a steel dragon? Well, this is what I meant," grinned Iron evilly.
"Shoot."
Miyako pulled a knife from her boot and hurled it at Iron, who glided quickly to the side to avoid the lethal weapon. "Damn. You're surprising."
"Oh, I'm flattered," said Miyako flatly. Iron rocketed toward the grounded angel. Miyako mentally cursed her father for not having wings. She narrowly avoided Iron's attack, but did get a long gash on her forearm. "Rats!"
The angel clutched her arm. The sun was three minutes away from setting. Miyako felt heavier. She knew her main power source will vanish soon. Bry was chewing on her nails. Miyako was stuck. There's only one thing to do now. Miyako held her hands before her and closed her plum-purple eyes.
"Hydra Armor!"
A sensation swept through Miyako as if she was under a waterfall. Beginning from the top of her head, her skin turned into iron patterned like scales. The magic ran down her skin like armor, transforming the rest of her body into iron. Miyako opened her eyes and smirked. Iron looked impressed. And then, she smiled. The hell?
"Impressive. I've never seen that before, and I'm 1,897 years old."
"Well then, Grandma, let's see you fight my skin. We young people are full of surprises."
"Not just surprises. Arrogance and pride."
Miyako snarled. "Well, then let me shove my pride up your large butt!" And Miyako charged Iron, stabbing and slashing with her sword. One minute of light left. Let's make this quick. Iron manged to block or dodge every attack the angel made. There was finally an opening, and Iron slashed with her sword at Miyako's gut. As soon as the blade came in contact of Miyako's body, a large PANG! was heard. Now, Iron was really surprised.
"Hydra scales are impenetrable."
Iron growled. "We'll see. The sun goes down in thirty seconds."
A small fear washed over Miyako. If the sun goes down, then there's barely a chance of her surviving this battle. Bry was on the verge of tears. Is Miyako going to lose? If she does, then she'll become a demon! That can't happen. She had to do something! But what? Arg! She felt so useless. What on Earth can she do to help her partner? She doesn't cry often, but it truly is the most saddest thing in the world when an angel, an angel like Miyako, falls. All angels weep. There is no way that it could be reversed.
'What do I do?' thought Miyako. She frowned. There's no choice. She picked up her sword and stood straight. She would rather really die than became one of those monsters. There is no way she'll lose. She has to have hope. As the angels say, There is hope as long as there's light. Yeah, the sun is setting, but it will come back the next day.
Miyako jumped as high as she could and brought her sword down towards Iron's head. Iron lifted the flat of her sword up to block the attack. But instead of the two blades colliding, Miyako braced her feet on Iron's sword and boosted herself higher into the air. Ten seconds left until the sun is gone. In mid-air, Miyako made a fist with her right hand and punched it into her left palm. A bright green magic circle appeared before her.
"Poison Va-"
"Luminous Beam!"
A bright beam of light blasted into Iron, sending the demon flying through trees and into the rocky side of a cliff. Iron rubbed the back of her bruised head and looked up at the new opponent, growling. A girl stood in the light of the setting sun as it finally dunked under the horizon. Bry pumped her wings hard, lifting up into the air and caught a falling Miyako. The angel alighted on the ground and set Miyako on her feet. The iron skin has melted away, leaving normal flesh. Her eyes were hazy and clouded from exhaustion.
"Thanks, bro," said Miyako, playfully punching Bry's arm weakly.
The new girl walked up the the two and knelt next to them, inspecting Miyako and her injured arm before nodding and standing back up.
"If you don't mind, I'll finish this."
"But-"
"No buts. You are too injured."
Miyako slumped and began brooding. Bry patted her shoulder in a reassuring way. The new girl turned to face Iron.
"Who the hell are you?" asked an annoyed demon.
"My name is Frieda Love, The Anarchy Angel Anael!"
me: Ooh! Cliffy! Not my best though. Honestly, my first. I hope you guys enjoyed this! It took me the entire day to brainstorm how this was going to work, think of how the battle would go, and just to type it! Ah! Finger cramp!
Miyako: ... Wow. I am speechless...
Bry: You were gonna make me cry!
me: Ah ha, but I didn't.
Bry: *mumbles inaudible words*
Iron: I was blown into a wall just by a stupid beam?! What kind of sick creator would mistreat their OC?!
All of My OCs: Slayer would.
