The Destroyer

Chapter 7

The beginning to an End

"No Nanoha"

"Why not Fate? Why can't I come with you?"

I take a much needed inhale of air. I've been trying to convince Nanoha that I couldn't have her come with me to the underworld to fight Chrono, but she will not budge.

"This is my fight Nanoha. My fight alone"

"But wasn't that the whole point of me saying let's fight together? So you wouldn't have to fight alone?"

"This is not a fight that I want to put your life in danger"

"I have powers Fate. Powers that no one wants to mess with. I can help you"

"Even with your powers Nanoha, I don't think that things would be that easy. Knowing how Chrono is, he would find something in order to hurt you and that's not a risk that I'm willing to take" I walk over to her placing my hands on her shoulders, staring into concerned pools of blue. "Why can't you see Nanoha? You being there would only be a distraction to me. I can't fight with you down there because all I would concerned about is you and your safety. I need to be focused. I need to have a clear head when dealing with Chrono. I can't think of anything else"

She sighs the takes my hands into her own and kisses them both tenderly before she looks at me once more. Her eyes were filled with sadness.

"Promise me. Promise me that you'll come back to me if I let you go" Nanoha said those words with a calm voice, but I could tell that she was pleading. I didn't respond. "Please Fate. Promise me that you'll come back" it was desperate.

I smile. "I promise Nanoha" and she pulls me in an embrace.

I could feel my smile slowly fading away. Was it even possible? Would it be possible for me to come back from where I was about to go? Truthfully, I don't think that it would be possible. There was a possibility that I would die, but I already accepted that fate. I would die just to keep Nanoha safe. I would fight for the woman that I loved and that was all that mattered to me.

"I love you" I whispered in her ear.

"I love you too"

Now all I had to do was wait.

Night Falls

After saying good-bye to Nanoha, I made my way down to the underworld. Nanoha. I shook my head. I couldn't think about her down here. I had to put all of my focus into the matter at hand and that was killing Chrono. As I made my way to his room, I realized that something was different. There was something off. There was no one in sight. There were no demons around, but that didn't stop me from being alert.

Chrono's room door soon comes into view. This was it. I open the door. Chrono of course, was sitting on his throne as he always has been every time I would enter this room.

"Ah Fate. I see that you could come. Please come in" I did, but I was looking around to make sure no demons were around. "Oh don't worry Fate. No one is here to disturb our little party"

I stop halfway from him, looking him straight in the eyes. He looks behind me as if looking for someone.

"Where's your little girlfriend? I guess you didn't let her come" He sighs. "Too bad. I would have enjoyed killing the both of you" He sighs again. "It's a shame that things had to turn out like this though. It's a repeat all over again" he said shaking his head side to side.

What the hell was he talking about? What was a repeat?

"What are you talking about Chrono?" anger clearly in my voice. I wasn't in the mood for games.

"Oh. Is that anger I hear in your voice?" He laughs. "I've trained you well" he smiles.

"Stop playing games. The question I asked has nothing to do with me Chrono. Now answer my question" my anger seemed to be raising higher and higher.

"Oh, but it does have to do with you, my dear. It has everything to do with you"

"What are you talking about?"

"I forgot to tell you the origin of your birth" He laughs. "You're father was sent to kill someone. A unless human. But being the weak bastard that he was, he fell in love with her"

My eyes went wide. Huh? What?

"Yes Fate. You're mother was a human. So that makes you, Fate, half human" He leans forward in his chair. "Now do you see why the demons were giving you shit when you were growing up?" He laughs. "Anyway, my master wasn't too fond of the idea of your father being with a human and so I was sent to kill him" He laughs. "You should have seen his face when I ripped his heart out. We had your mother found and killed too" he laughs even harder. "I thought that with them out of the way, I could make you into the most feared demon that ever lived. The demon your father was before he met the human bitch, but I guess that human blood in you made you grow soft just like your father. Now you're just useless. I don't need you anymore"

I was in shock. I heard everything that he said. I could feel my blood boiling with anger. This BITCH killed my parents. My hands balled into fists, drawing blood as my nails sunk into my hands. Chrono killed them. He was supposed to be my father's friend and he killed him. He manipulated me into doing his bedding. THAT BITCH.

I could feel the demon rising in me and it wanted out. I wanted it out. The black aura engulfed me instantly. My hair changed black and my eyes changed blood red; blood that soon would be spilled. I had never been so angry before.

"YOU! YOU KILLED MY FAMILY. YOU WILL PAY YOU BITCH" I ran towards him with flames spilling from my hands. He was going to pay and I was going to make sure he would even if that meant I would die in the process.

To Be Continued

I know some of you are hating me for leaving such a serious cliff hanger, but I just had to. Please review
