Chapter 6: The Eye of the Storm

It all went by so fast, first he was at the top of the world, now Kuro was in the bottom of a deep hell. All he had worked for was gone. Fai was dead, the vampires were dead, a whole civilization was dead. Kuro felt so guilty, he could've protected Fai, he SHOULD have protected Fai. Kuro looked up, focusing on the task at hand, he and Team Xero ran through the halls, still looking for one of the members. Like Xero said, Kuro needed to focus, he was a soldier, after all.

The red lights flashed, and a siren rand. They knew the group was here. Xero already knew who was on this flagship. And it was time to end it, now. Xero came up to the door to the bridge. He stopped everyone.

"Alright," Xero said, "Be careful, the man behind here is one of the most dangerous in the world."

"We can take him." Larxene said.

"Yeah!" Draxnew said, "Bring it on!"

"Alright," Xero said, then he opened the door and saw three men in organization cloaks. He recognized all three of them, the one at the controls was Xaldin. The one behind him was Xemnas. And the one the looked at Team Xero, was a familiar face. It looked too familiar. He had tried to kill everyone there. Standing across from everyone, was Kumori.

"So…" Kumori said, his deep voice sending chills down Kuro's spine, "The gang's all here."

"Kumori…" Shadow said, "Why are you working with the organization?"

"I don't need to explain myself to you," Kumori said, "Xemnas, take care of them."

"I'm afraid I can't do that," Xemnas said, walking next to Kumori, he took out a saber and lunged it into Kumori. But Kumori dodged and grabbed Xemnas's wrist.

"You dare defy me?" Kumori said, then he swiped the saber from Xemnas, then he stabbed Xemnas in the chest, "I'm not tricked that easily." Then Xemnas fell to the ground.

"Xemnas!!!!!" Larxene cried out, then she put her head into Xero's arms.

Kuro looked to the ground, his eyes widened when he heard Xemnas get stabbed, "He…" Kuro said, "He killed Xemnas."

"Kumori, how could you?!" Shadow yelled, "He helped you!"

"Yeah?" Kumori said, "Well so did your dear mother."

"Sh… shut up!" Shadow said. Falling to his knees.

"Look at you," Kumori said, "You're weak, I'm ashamed to be your father."

"Kumori," Kuro said, stepping forward, "Answer this one question!"

"You demand something from me?" Kumori said.

"Why didn't you kill me back at the mountain, Kumori?!" Kuro yelled.

"I don't need to answer to you," Kumori said.

"Oh yes you do." Kuro said, "Your afraid of me, I know you are."

"What?" Kumori said, "I fear nothing."

"Oh, you know you fear me," Kuro said, drawing his sword, "Because I'm the only one that can defeat you."

"Oh, if you can defeat me," Kumori said, drawing his sword, "Then why don't you?!" Kumori rushed to Kuro and sliced at him, Kuro blocked it, then Kumori pushed Kuro back into the wall.

Chitokai, the City of Vampires…

The Storm fired at the werewolves, but their guns weren't designed for fighting against crazed werewolves, just humans and those alike. The werewolves mauled the soldiers one by one. Soon, the frontal assault team went from having over seven hundred to about having forty. Two of the soldiers hid behind a wall.

"What are we gonna do?!" A soldier said, "These guys are crazy! They demolished our army! What are we gonna do?!!"

"Get a hold of yourself, soldier!" A commander said, "What is your name?"

"The name's Teddy, sir." The soldier said.

"Alright, Private Teddy," The commander said, "You now follow my orders, since the general is in the middle of the city, I am Commander Oscar," Oscar shook Teddy's hand.

"Alright, if we want to get out alive, Teddy, we need to come up with a strategy," Oscar said, looking around, "And I just got one."

"What is it sir?" Teddy asked.

"Alright, Teddy," Oscar said, "Do you have any smoke grenades?"

"Yes." Teddy said.

"Throw one out there!" Oscar yelled, teddy did so, and then Oscar pulled out a radio, "Calling in air strike! We need a strike marked by grenade smoke!"

"Roger," Came a pilot's voice over the radio, then two airplanes flew by and dropped payloads down onto the werewolves. Teddy watched in amazement.

Meanwhile, The Hunter ran through the city streets. He checked every building he could find, looking for Kuro. He saw dark fighter jets launching into the sky. He also saw two human airplanes fly across the city.

"Wait a second," The Hunter said, coming to a stop, "I wasn't planning on having any air strikes."

"You managed to wipe out half of my army…" Came a deep voice behind the hunter. The Hunter turned around and saw a large brown-furred werewolf standing behind him, "And even now, you search for the Fallen Angel, after all you've done."

"Okami…" The Hunter said, "What are you doing here."

"We werewolves may hate vampires," Okami said, "But we hate you humans even more."

"So," The Hunter said, "You're planning on working with the vampires?"

"I said no such thing," Okami said, "We merely wish to destroy you humans."

"Well," The Hunter said, taking out a spear, "You know I can't let you get away with that…"

"And you know that I can't let you get away with killing the only heir to the vampire throne."

"Really, Okami," The Hunter said, "I thought you would thank me for killing Fai, it gets rid of one of your greatest enemies."

"Yes," Okami said, "What you say is true; however, he was a mere child." Okami's claws grew, "And I despise anyone who kills the weak, the innocent." Then Okami ran towards The Hunter.

Aboard the Drop Ship XIII

Kumori sliced at Kuro, and Kuro blocked it, then Kumori threw Kuro across the room.

"We can't let him do this!" Xion said, taking out her keyblade, "We have to stop him."

"No," Xero said, putting a hand out in front of Xion, "We cannot intervene, this is his battle."

Kuro ran at Kumori, and Kumori just grabbed Kuro's wrist, "Look at you," Kumori said, then he tossed Kuro to the ground, "You aren't even Fallen Angel form yet, I am going to kill you right here, right now." He pointed his blade at Kuro, and thrust forward, but something intervened. Something hot as fire shot at Kumori from the left, everyone looked to see who it was, and standing in a doorway, were two familiar figures. Standing there were Axel, and Xigbar.

"Axel?" Kuro said.

"Xigbar!" Xero said, then the two walked over to the group.

"Alright, good to see you too," Axel said, "but right now we need to focus on the task at hand."

"How did you…" Kumori said, getting up.

"I know who you are!" Xigbar said, pointing a gun at Kumori, "Now, you will pay for killing Xemnas."

"Not likely…" Kumori said, then there was a flash, and he was gone.

"What the hell…" Kuro said.

"Kuro! Are you alright?!" Xion said, she ran to Kuro and hugged him.

"Yeah, I'm fine…" Kuro said, then he gripped his stomach, "Agh!" Then he fell to the ground, and blacked out.

That's all for now! Gasp! Kuro is out... again! And now The Hunter is facing off against the werewolf leader! Next chapter is the last for this story! And we end in a way nobody expected!
