/Wings of Fate 2; The Tome of Darkness Ch. 7/

-Mixed POV (yall's gonna like dis :3 ...I hope... )-

James: "Sir we're approaching the city nearest the temple." I heard some guard say. Sir? Who the hell are- I began to think but was interrupted by... MYSELF?

Kinos: "Alright soldier keep going. We'll Have the skull in no time now!" I told the soldier.

James: My lips moved but it wasn't my voice. It was Kinos'. He turned my head and My son came into view. Kinos:"And as for you child I have BIG plans for you." I said as I laughed evily and happily.

James: My soon woke up and looked at me with a small smile. I gasped and looked at him in fear but my Face didn't change it's expression.

Kinos: "why are you smiling?" I said. "Have you finally bonded with me over evil... oh WAIT! This is rich, AHAHAHAH!" I began to laugh. This is amazing! I havn't had this happen in a LONG time.

James: I wasn't laughing by myself. Kinos seemed to know something I didn't about what was happening right now.

Kinos: "SOMEONE is having a MIND TRANSFERANCE DREAM Aren't they?! AHAHAHAH!" I said laughing as I reached over and picked up a gun. "Time to WAKE UP!" I began to pull the trigger.

-Kinos' POV-

"BANG!" I shouted as I laughed eveily. "AHAHAHAHAHAH! Ahhhhh nothing like scaring the shit out of someone useless. Ahhhh~ I wonder who that was... eh, no matter. They can't stop me. It was probably Amy, she has strong enough feelings of hate towards me to be able to see things I do." I said with a wicked grin. The kid started to cry a little. I had managed to teach him that if he cried infront of me, I'd give him a reason to cry, so all I had to do was look at him and he'd stop. I love being this evil.

"Sir, what was that all about?" The driver asked. I glared and he stiffened up.

"None of your buisiness. Keep driving." I ordered and he nodded. I looked out the window and covered my eyes at the flashing colors. "Ugh... god I'm gonna burn this mother fucker to the ground." I said making a mental not that Tokyo, Japan had to be the first place to burn when I ruled the universe. Good thing it was raining, it's the perfect setting for my second victory.

"Sir, we can't get any rock music on the radio." One of the passenger soldiers told me. I groaned and growled with my razor sharp teeth showing.

"Then put in a CD! I can't stand to listen to any more happy music with untranslatable lyrics!" I shouted. They put in a Papa Roach CD and I laid back listening happily. Second order of business as the ruler of the universe; Get Nickelback, Thousand Foot Krutch, Papa Roach, Skrillex, Three Days Grace, Lincoln Park, and Slipknot together and have a badass concert for only me and my minions. HA! I'm gonna make an awesome leader!

-James POV- (Right after Kinos faked shooting himself to scare James (still has no idea James is Alive))

I sat up in a loud gasp. I panted heavily and was sweating like crazy. I looked at myself and noticed I had no shirt on, no pants, and only my black boxers were on. I looked to my sides and saw that Amy and Vanilla had clung to my sides and Cream was clinging to Vanilla. I panted a bit more and got up and got a glass of water. I rubbed some water on my face. I looked in the mirror and saw that it looked like I hadn't slept all night. I shook my head and doused my face in water. I looked again and the look of a sleepless night had faded. "God damn you Kinos... Why did I have that... thing?" I wasn't sure what to call it just yet. I walked to the monitor near the door, dialed in Tails, Silver, Shadow, and Knuckle's room numbers, I turned the volume down and whispered their names. "Silver... shadow... tails... Knuckles! Come on guys! wake up!" I whispered kinda loudly. I heard all of the male voices groan and saw knuckles swipe at something.

"Noooo... five more minuuutes~" Tails groaned.

"Go awaay mini shade... leave the emeralds aloone." Knuckles groaned. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Shut uuup Sonic... I can have her..." I heard shadow groan... not even gonna TRY to ask him what he was talking about when he wakes up.

"Ughhh mephiliiis leave this plaace." Silver groaned.

"WAKE UP MORONS!" I whispered in a kind of shouting voice. All of them groaned, got up and stretched a bit before walking over to the monitor sleepily.

"Duuuude what the fuuuuck?" Knuckles groaned.

"It's like... 5 A.M... Why are you even awaaake?" Tails groaned with his eyes still closed.

"Look guys, I'm sorry but I had a crazy dream that you WILL want to hear!" I whispered not wanting to wake the girls.

"Is it something serious or is it insane like a usual dream?" Silver asked with his eyes barely open.

"Well it's a little of both. You see what happened was-" And I spent the next half hour explaining the entirety of the dream to them. They all seemed to open their eyes more when I mentioned the guard telling Kinos where they were. I finally stopped and they had all taken their seats and had their hands somewhere on them to keep them from falling forward or back. "And THAT'S why I woke you all up. Do you understand now?" I asked them.

Silver, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails nodded. "Right, I think I understand." Silver started. "But I don't understand how it all happened. I mean how on earth did YOU get to see what Kinos was seeing? It's all so strange." Silver added on to finish what he was saying. Just then Yin and Yang flew in.

"I think we can explain." Yang said. I looked at them and nodded, I scooted over giving them some monitor room. "Well from what James just described that we managed to over hear... it seems like only JAMES has a strong enough connection to Kinos. The only way a connection like that could be formed is if a part of a persons mind, or in this case A FIGMINT that someone created in their head, became a real person. So in short-" He began, he didn't even need to finish. We all did it for him.

"KINOS IS A PART OF JAMES' MIND!?" We all exclaimed. We looked at the monitor as they nodded.

"Yes, it appears Kinos used some of James' mind to become a real person again. He used James' mind to gain all the pure dark emotions he needed." Yin said. We all looked a bit worried now. "I am surprised James had all that rage, hatred, fury and fear locked away in the depths of his mind." She added on.

"Dude... That's crazy... I thought Kinos went back millions of years! Not just almost 2 years ago-" Knuckles said.

"He DOES." Yang interrupted Knuckles. "Kinos dates back 300 million years and died PYHSICALLY when the LAST harbinger of Death killed him. MENTALLY and SPIRITUALLY Kinos never stopped existing. We managed to figure out that Kinos was sapping all of the darker emotions in people for a long time. He WAS gonna use Amy as the last bits of power WHEN-" Yin started. I had pieced it together.

"When I came crashing in..." I said in shock.

"Yes!" She said proving me correct. "He felt so much MORE power coming from James that he sapped those feelings out of James and fled to find the perfect host. AKA-" She began.

"Sonic" Us boys finished.

"Yes..." Yin said. "But, since Kinos used part of James' mind to become real then James could use that part" Yin began.

"To kill him once and for all." I said with a smile. Yin and Yang smiled back at me. The guys nodded.

"Alright, I don't quite FULLY understand what's happening but I think I understand that only JAMES can pull this Job off." Knuckles began.

"Alrighty then, we'll just have to protect James no matter the cost." Shadow said.

"AYE AYE!" I exclaimed a bit angry. "Don't you go getting yourselves killed for my sake alright?" I ordered. "I am NOT losing ANYONE, Not you, not Amy, not ANYONE! I don't care if only I can kill Kinos, that does NOT mean that you need to become meatshields and protect me from every bullet that comes my way." I said. They all nodded. "If a bullet is intended for ME and I can't dodge it in time, then I take the bullet." They nodded more. I was smiling a bit. I turned and saw the girls still fast asleep. I thought for a second, then with every passing second a grin grew wider on my face.

"James... what are you planning?" Silver asked a bit concerned.

"Dude, Let's get to the temple ahead of time!" I said as I got closer to the monitor. The guys looked at eachothers monitors.

"That's... actually not a bad Idea." Knuckles said.

"Have I ever given you a bad one?" I asked with a cocky voice. The guys took a deep breath ready to list a bunch of bad ideas. "Don't answer that" I said casually, they sighed a bit. "Let's just get our stuff ready and leave as soon as we can." I told them and they nodded. "But wait! Don't wake up the girls, let them have their rest alright?" I told them. They nodded at me and shut off the monitors. I got on the black wife-beater with Akumas sign on the back, the leather jacket, and the blac pants. I also go on the special gloves. I smiled and grabbed my sword that I got for free at the store and smiled happily as I walked out.

When I got outside, I stopped and turned around. I picked up a pen and paper and wrote down "Hey girls, me and the guys went out to the sanctuary to prepare to fight Kinos, We'll be in a temple just west of the mall we were at the other day, And Amy; I swear to god, I WILL get our son back! ~ James" I stuck the note to the door and grabbed the arm cannon Tails gave me. I walked out and was surprised to see Shadow with a long Spear with a curved blade like a scimitar at the end. "Dude, look at this, when I picked up the small rectangular piece I was given it turned into a giant spear!" Shadow said quietly. I nodded.

"ahhh that's the spear that killed the final and the most powerful of the shinigami, the Spear of Fate." Yin said as she flew over. She touched it and gasped. He jerked her hand back. "M-my memory!" he shouted. Yin flew over and looked at him. "I can remember a lot more than before... but it's not all of the memory..." She said.

I felt something hit me like a massive wave of energy, it made me stagger and sway. "W-whoa..." I said as I held my head. I looked at my arms and legs to see that they were covered in a white flame like aura. I looked at them for a few minutes. "W-WHOA!" I gasped. "T-this is... new" I said. THe guys walked over and tried to touch my arms but they all winced and jerked their hands back.

"Ow!" Tails said as he sucked on his index finger. "What the heck is that?" He asked.

"I have no clue..." I said as I waved my arms around a bit.

"I believe... that's ... the gift of the sun... the powers of light only accessed by your arms and legs. You SHOULD be able to do feats of amazement like it's as simple as walking in the park." Yin said. I jumped and suddenly I was standing upside down on the cieling like it was normal. I took one step and I hit my head on the wall on the other side of the room.

"Whooooa... awesome." I said as the aura disappeared and I fell on my head. I didn't say oww, instead i just got up and rubbed my head. "N-no matter though, let's just get out of here and to that temple... Ah crap it's raining." I said as I looked out the window. It was not bad but it was still pretty wet. We all walked outside and put on our helmets and drove. I guided them to the temple and we all arrived at around 6, still no sign of Kinos. I walked up the steps first and arrived at the top to be greeted by 2 samurai like soldiers charging at me. I gasped and suddenly my body was moving on it's own. I blocked both swords with my arms, they didn't even cut the leather. I growled and blew them back and punched to my left side and kicked to my left at the same time, all while balancing on one leg. I sent them both flying into the mud. I looked forward and saw about a hundred more soldiers with swords, but they weren't Yakuza soldiers, they seemed like imperial soldiers in the kind of garbs you'd see masters in, in cheesy movies. I gasped and looked through my jacket for my proof I was a friend. They all charged at me with swords pointed at me. Then I remembered I had wings and used them as a giant shield as they wrapped around me blocking every single blade. I could feel them all back up taking their swords with them. I spread them and feathers flew everywhere and everyone gasped. "I am your ALLY!" I announced. They all got on one knee and turned to the center as someone walked down from the temple. A tall male and a little girl. The girl ran up and glomped me, I was confused so I just hugged her. The man called her back.

"If you are the Ally, then show us more than just your wings. Show us... your gun... the golden one." The man was referring to the crucifix shotgun, sadly I did not bring it with me. Luckily Shadow was given my dimensional cloak and he brought it with him to keep himself dry. I grabbed if from him, held it up against he man and reached in. I felt around and everyone watched as my arm seemed to disappear into the cloak without a trace. I smiled as I grabbed the grip and pulled out the golden crucifix and held it high into the air, there was enough light to make it have a yellow gleem to it. The man smiled and bowed to me. "Welcome, James of the Rose family." The girl giggled and held onto me tighter. I gave the cloak back to Shadow and the rest of the guys as we all rushed into the temple. We all got towels to dry off with and the guys sat happily and drank rather delicious tea. "Thank you for coming... we are very sorry about our assualt on you and your friends."

"BAhhhhhh" I said. "It's alright, you guys didn't know it was me. I said as my wings dried off and folded back to normal. The man seemed to marvel at the wings. The girl just didn't let me go I looked at her kinda embarrassed. "Lin, PLEASE! Would you get off the kind James?" The man asked. She nodded and went to his side.

"Sorry sensai... but I just can't believe the amazing James is SO HANDSOME!" She said giggiling. I blushed immensely. "And he can understand us without a problem." She giggled again. I rubbed the back of my head and smiled more.

"Yes yes, praise him." The man said casually "but you do realise that he is Married, you cannot marry him" He said. THe girl looked down and whimpered a little.

"Yes I know! Must you rub it in?!" She exclaimed with a few tears in her eyes as she stood up and ran off. I looked at him as if he had offended me.

"I'm very sorry about her, she has her head in the clouds." he said.

"Sometimes it's BETTER to have you're head in the clouds than your head in reality, let the girl at least dream!" I said as I got up and ran after her. I ran around for a good 5 minutes looking for her and finally found her in the far back of the temple. She was sitting infront of a large lake, her knees were on a large rock as she gazed into the crystal clear lake under a magnificent cherry tree. I walked up slowly and she sighed.

"You know... there's a myth about this cherry tree... each of these petals represents a persons life... when one falls, another person dies. If 2 fall, a couple has been married." I looked up at the cherry trees petals, and I ended up covering my eyes, I'd never seen so many life strings at the same time. "Do you see them? THe lives?" She asked. I nodded. I looked at her to see the young little jaguar say. "Can you tell who's life each one is?" She asked me with those yellow eyes. I nodded "Can you tell me which one is mine?"I nodded and looked through the lights and found the petal near the center of the tree.

"This one." I used a long stick I found to poke the right one.

"Can you tell me which one is yours?" She asked as she got up.

I looked through the tree. The thing about my life string is that mine was a sparkling midnight black. When I searched throught the tree I could not find mine. I looked above my head and saw my string was attatched to my head and still long. "It's just attatched to me. There's no string like mine anywhere on the tree-" I stopped and looked at the lake, dead center of the lake was a long black string. "What?" I said as I flew to the center of the lake. " Why's it here?" I asked as I descended to the water.

"NO WAIT!" LIn yelled, it was to late for me. I had set the tip of my shoe in the water. The water must've had SOMETHING important hidden in the water because it had a defense mechanism. It sucked me in and wrapped me in dark tentacles. I stuggled and held my breath, I couldn't tell how far down I was being dragged, it felt and certainly LOOKED like the lake went down for miles. The tentacles stopped dragging me when I was just a few feet from the black, murky bottom. I looked around and saw a bleach white skeleton, It had long white arms and a thick ribcage and what lay infront of me was the Skull of the Shinigami. I also observed that it had NO legs, the spinall cord went down alot longer like a tail. I raised an eyebrow aand whem I did 2 red beams shot out of the holes where the eyes should be. They ran up my legs, across the tentacles and then locked onto my eyes. I heard a low grumble and I could see the skulls mouth open and out came a few more black tendrals, they were growing, FAST. My eyes grew wide and I began to struggle. Suddenly my eyes shot out a bright white light that covered the entire skeleton, the tentacles let go of me and I floated there for a few seconds and then fell to the bottom landing on my feet. I leaned down and reached for the Skull and the arm shot up and grabbed my arm. THe mouth of the skull opened more and it grumbled and laughed in a deep voice with a slight grumble. "Yooooouuuu" It whispered as the red lighhts from its eyes engulfed me.

I found myself in a bright white room when I woke up. I looked around and found myself in a dress shirt like the one I usually wore only it was White. I looked forward and saw the blade of the Anubis warrior, and the Spear of Fate and 2 weapons, they were pitch black and their shadows made it impossible to see what they were. I ssaw them all come together and then I heard a voice calling my name. "James... James... JAAAMES!" It was Lin. I sat up and found myself back on dry land in my clothes and I held the entire skeleton in my hands. I looked at Lin. "James are you alright?" She asked. I nodded panting. "What happened?! No one who has set foot in the lake has ever come up or even if they DID they were drowned or torn apart... you really ARE Deaths Harbinger." She gasped in amazement. I smiled and looked at the skeleton. "Is that... the skull?" She asked as she reached out to touch it. I stopped her.

"Don't" I said firmly. "If you touch it your life will be sucked right out of you." She jerked her hand back and I picked it up and tooke the skull off. The rest of the skeleton remained in-tact as I set it near the tree. I walked back inside but stopped myself. "Hey Lin..." I said.

"Yes James?" She asked as she walked up. I leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss. She gasped and held her lips with a deep blush.

"That's OUR little secret, got it?" I smiled at her. She nodded with her eyes still wide and her blush still deep. I giggled and walked inside. I set the skull down infront of the man from earlier. "This is what Kinos is after." I said

"WHAT!? HOW ON EARTH DID YOU-!?" He began.

"It dragged me In and I woke up with it in my arms." I told him the gist of it.

"No no no!" He said. "This is bad, that lake was it's only defense! Now that-" He tried to say, his sentence was cut short when one of his soldiers came flying through the paper doors of the temple and into the temple. We could now hear Scream by Slipknot blairing over large speakers. I ran outside and looked to see a mix of the temple soldiers and thugs of the Yakuza fighting to the death. I gasped when I saw Kinos monitoring the battle and his eyes locked with mine.

"AHHHH! JAMES! I knew I smelt something familiar here!" He laughed as he turned to me. I sighed and smiled a bit.

"At least there'll be no need for costumes." I said as I looked him dead in te eyes. "WHERE'S MY SON!?" I roared over the battle. Everyone stopped and turned to us.

"Ahhh the wretched boy, He's fine, for NOW!" He laughed, I growled and clenched my fists hard. I could feel the firey white aura flash. "Hmmm? Ohhhhh! You've been unlocking your powers have you? WELL!" He said, How did he know about the powers... then again he WAS the last harbingers enemy, so he WOULD know all of their powers! "Let's see if you can REALLY use them." He said, suddenly an almost completely see through black smoke and fire erupted from under his feet and surrounded him. I let the white fire erupt and surround me. I felt the power coursing through my veins and suddenly my wings disappeared. I felt alot lighter. I stood on the ground and then we both charged at eachother. We both threw a single punch and our fists connected to eachother, we managed to blow the sound barrier TWICE with that one and we moved so fast we could barely keep track of eachother.

-Knuckles POV (mixed with James) -

Knuckles:James and Kinos both began to move so fast that we couldn't even see them, but each time we did see a BLURR of them the sound barrier broke and made another sonic boom. We all were just looking for a blur of the 2.

James: we were both just blurrs to eachother, I could tell because we only made a move very rarely and whenever we DID connet with eachother, our fists or other limbs, blocked the attack and made another sonic boom. We kept up our speed, not faultering a single bit. Soon though, Kinos revealed an opening and I used it to do a round-house kick and send him flying into the ground. I saw him make a trench like a meteor would when It finally came to a stop in the earth. I got there as fast as I could and grabbed his face. I looked him dead in the eyes.

Knuckles: We all ran to the trench and looked in. Some of Kinos' men pointed guns at James but Silver picked the guns out of their hands with his Psyco-kenisis and held it high above their heads. The rest of us watched as James' fire white aura disappeared and his face lost the lips and left only the gums and teeth. I'd seen him do this back in Egypt. He was SERIOUSLY gonna end it! He opened up his mouth and a black fire aura enveloped him. The tendrils shot out of his mouth and Kinos didn't even flinch. He grinned as a matter of a fact. He laughed and suddenly a burst of energy came from him, the tendrils decintegrated and Kinos stood tall. James staggered to a stop and looked up at Kinos.

James: I looked up at Kinos as he laughed happily with a lot of Villainous evil in his voice. He jumped out of the crater and So did I. I ran to block the temple. He threw me aside like I was nothing. I saw him go in. I heard 2 screams and then I saw a large spatter of blood on the paper of the door that was right next to me. I saw Kinos emerge with the skull and was covered in blood. He laughed evily and happily. "I'VE GOT IT! And NOOOOW!" He said as he walked over to me. Knuckles, Tails and shadow all tried to kill him at once, they were just swatted aside like flies. Silver tried using the guns he'd picked up but he was beaten in the back of the head with a metal bat. They hit him once, thank god for that, I watched as Kinos laughed. He held a hand over my head and I watched as I watched a giant purple, black, white and dark blue fireball formed in his hand.

-Back to normal James POV-

I figured I was done for when I heard the other 5 bikes driving through mud. I looked over and saw the girls go flying over all of our heads and when they landed about 5 or so yards from us they turned and skidded to a stop. I watched as they took off their helmets and got their hair wet in the rain. I smiled brightly. "Really boys? You're doing this alone? God you're so stupid at times." Rouge said.

"HEY! SHUT UP! I DIDN'T WANNA WAKE YOU FROM YOUR BEAUTY SLEEP!" I shouted, she rolled her eyes.

"WHATEVER! JUST HELP THEM!" Vanilla shouted. Kinos, unlike any OTHER villain, had started charging to kill them. I managed to get up in time and used my speed to get infront of him and deflect the fireball away from everyone.

~Authors note~ I am so sorry about this guys, I had an entire chapter set up and then I accidentally deleted the finished version and was left with this one, I don't remember any of what I wrote down and I don't think I have any inspiration left to rewrite it all, I'm super upset and I am extrmely sorry. But I'll give you a summary of it all. James beats Kinos, Kinos accidentaly the green notebook (AKA the Tome of Darkness,) Inside are 2 extremely powerful characters that James/Colin drew back in the other world. When James held out the pen that came with HIM to this world, It brought out those 2 characters. One Is a red spikey haired being, his hair looks like sonics only it doesn't curve back behind him, it curves up infront of him, he can control every bit of fire, heat, sunlight, stuff like that. The other is a yellow haired version, his hair is a little less spikey and he can control storms, thunder, lightning, electricity, stuff like that. The 2 knew James was Colin because he wrote down a secret way for them to know who eachother are if they ever really met (AKA The song Down by TFK) and they were brought in with the help of Yin and Yang (And by that I mean Yin and Yang were sucked into the book and the 2 characters bodies became real. Both are male and the red haired one is Called Al, the yellow haired one is called Ace. James, Al and Ace have a race with everyone else back to the hotel. They arrive, have dinner made by James, and then head to sleep, Al and James stay up later and discuss where they're going next, Greece, to get the Robe of Midnight, and then head to bed. Mean while Kinos is back on the plane, and when the girls from egypt finish having sex with him they turn into Succubi. Trust me, They'll be fun later on.

Again, I am super sorry, I just don't have the drive to write all that down again, I just can't I don't even remember the majority of it. The reason why I screwed up is because my internet on my laptop has been screwing up, I moved al my stories to my flashdrive, and apperentally I never saved the finished version of this chapter onto my computer so when I replace that with the finished chapter I lost the finished chapter and had no way of getting it back. I wish when things got replaced there was a folder that ended up in the trash to send the replaced ones or something. So yeah, I'll try a lot harder not to mess up so bad next time. Any ways, I've got 2 new stories on the way, not chapters of this book because I need more inspiration to write more chapters of this and I've been REALLY wanting to do a One piece story and a crossover of something VERY special. So again, I'm very sorry but I'll have to leave the story off there and continue the next chapter due to lack of inspiration and drive.
