Angel Beats!: We now beat as one.

A/N: Merry X-Xmas and Happy new year 2011.
I began this chapter as soon as vacation started and i plan to end the story before winter ends so I can start my other protects, if you're curious check them out they're in my profile page... Again i apologize for my unpunctuality.


The distance becomes more unbearable as the dawn draws near and thus fate begins its course, for I will fear not as the battle has just begun, and i hope that by dusk this will end so by night my travel will begin, and midnight will bring us together again.

Kanade only a few moments ago had heard a erratic noise from the heartbeat monitor right after those three words left his lips and there after the dreaded flat line occurred, immediately after she was ushered out of the room and the blinds that gave view in to the room from the hallway were shut as many doctors rushed inside with another machine that Kanade still didn't know what was called but she had seen movies in which it was used and knew that they would bring Otonashi back.

How ever the danger still remained and chances were that he might not make it back.


Otonashi slowly woke from his deep sleep to find himself sleeping on the sofa he had taken a nap not too long ago, shortly after he noticed his companion who was nonchalantly reading a magazine, a perverted one but none the less a magazine.

"How long was i out?." Inquired Otonashi.

"For about a week i guess." Said Minato as he flipped the page.

"R-really?."

"Nah I'm just messing with you, but you where out for an entire day."

"What the hell happened?." Asked Otonashi as he rubbed his temple in a futile attempt to recall recent events.

"For starters you pulled out that ghost act and began to fade, it was like you weren't really there. I little creepy may I add, but after you were solid again I carried you over to the sofa."

"That reminds me." Otonashi slowly made his way to the desk and grabbed the nearest book firmly before throwing it with all his might to Minato who was still busy reading.

Moments later a satisfying smack was heard. "Bulls eye."

"What's your problem?." Asked the now rampant teen

"I'm not sure but i still remember wanting to seen a book flying on a crash course to your head."

"Tch." The raging teen slowly regaining his composure then said. "So as you were saying."

"Saying what?."

"Before we deviated to your romantic life you were explaining how to stop the 'Shadows' and all that."

"About that, when did they start appearing?." Asked a mildly curious Otonashi

"About a week ago I think." Said Minato as he put a finger under his lip in an attempt to recall past events.

"Anything unusual happened?."

"I remember some computers getting stolen but that's it."

"Any suspects?."

"There was this one kid who the teachers suspected but they couldn't tell if it was really him."

"How come?" Said Otonashi getting more serious.

"He was sort of the first one to get eaten, and after that the computers got stolen."

"Might have just been an NPC."

"Could be but he said something strange, something along the lines of 'So my reawakening was imminent' THEN he got eaten."

"Reawakening?, are you sure he wasn't just quoting a line from a game?"

"I thought so too but that guy was as normal as you can get, and I've never seen him get near a computer or videogame before."

"So the NPC got eaten, computers stolen, shadow reappearance with a few glitches."

"So is your leader single and/or hot?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Just a thought that maybe i might become a potential love interest incase I am reborn or she dies"

"If she dies i doubt she'll come here." A this same instance Otonashi had a realization. 'Wait, love made the shadows appear with a program controlling them'.

"Minato come with me, we're going to get to the bottom of this. Literally."

Immediately both teens packed some ammunition and a few assault rifles and wile Otonashi seemed just as before his companion had the strangest getup to which Otonashi said something along the lines of 'Rambo' before they departed to the only place where they had yet to check, The second computer room.

While the decent to guild hadn't been that harsh due to Otonashi's knowledge of the underway passages that used to lead to guild when they came across the second computer room they only found junk of what once were computers and monitors.

"Nothing's changed here." Otonashi cursed up inside his mind, but then again finding the culprit wasn't going to be that easy.

"What now, we wait in the computer room until another computer gets stolen?" Said Minato adding a sarcastic tone to his voice.

"That's not such a bad idea."

"Me and my big mouth."

And so as Otonashi said day in and day out they would take turns to stakeout the computer room with out the notice of any NPC or members of Minato's group, however they were getting nowhere and now Minato was beginning to get impatient so he broke the silence when Otonashi came by to relieve his post on midnight.

"Hey Otonashi I'm getting fed up with this, whoever it is that's stealing the computers is not coming here again."

"How many computers have been stolen as far?"

"Three, seven i think, but what's that have to do with anything?"

"Think about it, in the second computer room there were at least 100 computers in there, it's not nearly enough and since they keep restoring the stolen computers with new ones they are bound to get stolen again."

"But wouldn't that have happened by now?"

"Maybe."

"Don't give me that dammit, at this pace i might just ditch you on this whole stakeout."

Otonashi softly laughed at this bit.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing. It's just that you remind me of someone."

"Someone?, you mean your girlfriend?"

"No, I met him here. That reminds me, what happened to a blonde haired guy with dark colored eyes, his name was Hisana Kazuki."

"That was our ex-leader, a few months back he just vanished in front of me, what you call 'graduated' and since I was second in command everybody decided for me to be the new leader."

"I see, it's a bit of a shame, I would've liked to talk to him."

"I still cant figure out why he decided to follow the footsteps of you guy-"

A soft rumbling sound was heard inside the computer room interrupting their chat and Otonashi thereafter took a stance of alert motioning for Minato to remain quiet and to take his gun just as Otonashi had taken his a few moments ago.

"He's here. On three we open the door and take aim" Said Otonashi in hand signs.

"Roger." Replied Minato in the same silenced language.

Otonashi made a motion with his hand signifying three and the door was burst open however when they turned the lights on they saw nothing but a open window and some maintenance articles on the floor.

"And here i thought we would find this douche." Said Minato insulting whoever was not there.

"And who says I'm not." Said a voice from behind them.

"Damn it." Said Otonashi to himself as he rapidly turned himself to face their newly arrived companion.

A shot was fired to the midnight haired teen's forehead as Minato spoke "Boom headshot."

"This guy was the one causing all that ruckus to us?" Said Minato taking a proud stance above the unmoving teen. "Looks like he wont be a problem again."

"Guess again he will come back to life shortly."

"Hello headshot, we win he loses case solved." Said Minato motioning with his arms as to make emphasis to his statement.

"For now get away from him, I need to check what's going on."

"Phhst, hell no, I'm taking his head as a trophy for my wall. I mean come on Epic Headshot here!"

"You should have obeyed his command kid."

"What the-" replied Minato as the 'should be dead by now' teen slowly got up unwounded and spoke a fraise that somehow chilled Otonashi to the bone

"Guard skill, Chaos" A sudden wave of energy engulfed the entire room turning every wall it came in to contact with to a pile of debris and making la large crater in the center of it all.

Minato who had been standing besides the exploding wave was left dead in a corner burned from head to toe with at least a few second and third degree burns while Otonashi remained unharmed.

"Oh, how is it that you are still alive after that?"

"I didn't think I'd make it but when you pronounced your technique so did I 'Guard skill, distortion'."

"So so wield angel player. I will make you submit and reveal the location of your source of power."

"You know, just because you also have angel player that doesn't mean I'm going out with out a fight."

"Huh, very well, if that's how it's going to be."

The teen slowly paced towards Otonashi before it turned in to a sprint and tackling Otonashi through a barely standing wall and launching him to the field, and as Otonashi barely landed on his feet after having called upon his wings for balance in mid-air they both called upon their respective abilities at the same time.

"Guard skill, Hand Sonic."

"Guard skill, Echo Saber"

Lunging at each other they clashed swords and wile Hand Sonic had a bluish glow to them his enemy had halberd like weapons attached to his arms with a fiery orange glow to them. Parting shortly after for a bit of a breather they intently looked at each other in the eye as if staring at each others souls for it only to be broken as they leapt in to the air with a pair of white wings materializing on Otonashi's back and four black wings materializing on his foes back, using their forward momentum they relentlessly slashed at each other parrying a few blows as to not be taken out of commission and shortly after pushing each other a few meters before they landed on the unforgiving ground.

This was going to be a long battle.


A/N: after a few months I'm back. And as you can see this is where i was going since the early beginning, although when i saw the Angel beats! OVA i was a bit taken back with the alternate epilogue since it had elements that i had yet to mention here such as the first leader Kazuki, so i just linked Kazuki to the blonde from the second epilogue whom Otonashi sort of scolds, and i have to say that I'm a bit surprised at how well it somehow seems to fit with my storyline. Anyhow the story is coming to a close and before you ask, yes that guy whom Otonashi is fighting is in fact THE programmer of the shadows which ill name later, and yes he looks just like the program that explained things to Yurippe in episode 12. where I'm going is putting an end to this guy since they didn't do it in the anime and it felt incomplete so I'm picking up that and ending.
Also expect a epilogue at the end of the series with a fast forward of a few years in advance to the lives of some of the SSS members and a few explanations. This is Dante22500 over and out.
