The Destroyer

Chapter 8

As it began, it now comes to an End

"YOU! YOU KILLED MY FAMILY. YOU WILL PAY YOU BITCH" I ran towards him with flames spilling from my hands.

As I was about to land a punch to his pathetic face, he grabbed my hand. With my right hand in his tight grasp, I quickly launched my left hand to strike him. He grabbed that one to.

"Fate you should know better than that. I won't go down so easily" He looks down at my locket. After pulling both hands behind my back while holding them with one hand, he grabs the locket holding it in his hands.

"You don't even deserve to wear this. Your father didn't either and that's why I was happy that my Master sent me to kill him after he started messing with the human whore" He rips the necklace from around my neck and throws it into a wall.

The anger I had felt at that moment increased tenfold. It was as if my skin was boiling with madness and hate. He shouldn't have touched my necklace.

"You bitch" I screamed as I thrust my head forward making contact with his. That got the bastard to loosen the hold that he had on me.

He staggered back with his hand on his head. He was in a daze and that was my time to strike. I made sure that the fire spilling from my hands was as intense as they could get, before I went charging towards Chrono.

"You killed my family" I yelled as I punched him with first my right and then my left fist. He staggers back again. "You are going to pay for what you've done" I teleport quickly behind him, kicking him on the right side of his head. Blood flew from his mouth as a result. He staggers to the left.

I teleport again elbowing him in the face. He didn't have time to react as I uppercut him as hard as I can, which had him flying in the air with his feet off the ground. I grabbed his jacket in order to pull him close to me.

"You bitch. I hate you" I yelled as I laid punch after punch, kick after kick, to his face and body.

I could smell his flesh burning with every punch I connected with his skin. He was slumped over. Blood and burnt skin now covered his face. I would have smiled if I wasn't so pissed off. I wasn't finished him. I wasn't finished by a long shot. He was going to feel all the pain that I've felt before I would put him out of his misery.

I gave him one last punch from hell, which had him falling into a nearby wall. My hands were stained with his blood just like I had wanted it to be. I was almost satisfied, but not yet. It wasn't enough blood to satisfy me.

His breathing was shallow as he tried to get up. Blood covered his entire form as he stood. He starts to laugh.

"Hahahaha" he laughs as he coughs up blood. He wipes his mouth.

"I don't think anything is funny Chrono"

"But there is" he laughs again. "If you really think you can beat me, you're sadly mistaken" and before I could say anything he charges for me.

Being as quick as I was, I quickly summoned my favorite blades. I made sure that the flames were nice and hot before I threw them one after another. I threw enough blades to pierce each limb on his body. And I took pleasure in hearing him scream in agony.

He falls down to his hands and knees. I could hear his flesh still sizzling from the flamed blades that pieced him. I walk over grabbing him by his hair, lifting his head up. He looked pathetic, but that didn't stop his laughter still.

With his hair within my left hand, I used my right to conjure up a huge fireball.

"Do you have any last words before I kill you?"

"No" and he continued to laugh. He was really pissing me off, so I thought I would do him a favor and kill him quickly.

I swung my arm in his direction in order to release the fireball, but he caught my hand. I could feel an intense pain running through my body. I feel my body falling towards the floor. I couldn't move. What was going on?

"Damn Fate. I thought that you would have remembered that my specialty is in paralysis" He laughs and he gets up from the floor. I tried to speak, but nothing would come out. "Well I guess it can't be helped then" He conjures a fireball just as I had done. "Say hello to your father for me" He lifts his arm to release the fireball in his hand.

I had failed. I had failed to keep my promise to Nanoha. I would have loved to hold her in my arms again. To kiss her. To make love to her once more. I just hope that she'll forgive me. "I'm sorry Nanoha" I said in my mind.

I looked at Chrono intensely. If I was going to die, I wanted to do so looking him in the eyes. He smirks and swings his arm towards me. Just as I was about to become a burning corpse, I could see a pink ball of energy hit his arm.

He screams. The pink ball of energy severs his whole arm.

"What the fuck?" she says holding what's left of his arm. He quickly turns his head in the direction of the pink ball of energy. My eyes follow as well.

"Fate!" Nanoha yells.

"You little Bitch" He picks me up with his remaining hand and throws me into a nearby wall. All I could do was watch. I still couldn't move. "Now with the trash out of the way, you're all mine" he said with a smirk.

Nanoha didn't get the chance to say anything because Chrono shot a huge black wave of energy at her. Nanoha being quick, shot a pink wave of energy back. The two energies met and were equally distributed. The pink energy started becoming more powerful and Chrono's black energy started getting smaller and smaller. "Yes, Nanoha was going to defeat the bastard". I thought too soon. Chrono grabs her hands when she gets close enough. He laughs.

"You thought that would work on me" Still laughing. He stops laughing altogether as his face gets serious. "You must don't know who you're fucking with" he punches Nanoha, who flies in the air, before hitting the floor.

A black aura engulfs Chrono. "Shit this isn't good" I've seen what he could do with his aura around him.

I tried moving once, but to no avail. I could see this eyes glowing red through the darkness of the aura. Nanoha only had time to get up on her knees before a more powerful wave of energy came. She tried to match the energy wave with hers once again, but it wasn't powerful enough.

Before I knew it, her energy dissipated and in order not to get crushed by the energy coming from Chrono's hand, she had to put up a shield. I tried moving myself again as Chrono started walking Nanoha's way, still with the energy in hand. "Move damnmit" I tried telling my body. I couldn't watch Nanoha die, but my stupid body still wouldn't move.

He stops in front of Nanoha. His black energy built up due to his closeness to Nanoha's shield. I could see the stress on Nanoha face. She was using a lot of energy just to hold the shield up. The darkness of the aura around Chrono lightened and I could see him again. He began to laugh. His voice was different. It was as if a demon was possessing him.

"I can't believe that you had us demons scared. You're nothing but a pathetic human. And you're going to die. Then I'll take the satisfaction of killing your precious Fate and then I'm going to kill the rest of your pathetic kind" he laughed some more before the energy coming from his hand increased tenfold.

Nanoha's face was more intense. The power coming from Chrono's hand had her feet sliding across the floor, but she still didn't falter. But how long could she keep her shield up? Then I heard it. Something was cracking. It was Nanoha's shield. I could see the fear in her eyes grow as the cracks became bigger. I had to do something. "DAMNMIT! MOVE YOU FUCKING BODY!" I screamed in my mind as I tried moving once again. My fingers started moving, which followed by my arms and then the rest of my body. Once up on my feet, I called for the thing that could help me the most right now.

"BARDICHE" I yelled and soon my weapon appeared in my hands.

I could see that the shield that Nanoha had up was about to break. I teleported as fast as I could and I ended up behind Chrono. "Go to hell Chrono" I screamed putting all my energy into my weapon, raising it up as the electricity and flames grew to an unmeasureable size.

I saw my weapon glowing in his eyes as he turned around and before he had the chance to scream, I let down my scythe on his head, splitting him right now the middle. His body bursts into flames and his remains disappeared. I turned my attention to Nanoha, whom was on her hands and knees breathing heavily.

"Nanoha, are you alright?" I said crouching down placing my hand on her back. She looks up at me and pulls me into a hug.

"I'm fine now" I pulled her closer to me. It felt good to have her in my arms. "I thought I told you to stay at the house" I whispered in her ear.

"Well thank goodness that I didn't because you would be dead"

"I guess you're right. Thank you for rescuing me" I pull back from the hug to place a soft kiss on her lips to show my gratitude. I helped her up. "Oh my father's necklace" I said running over to where Chrono had thrown it.

I see the chain visible under some debris, so I grab it and when I do, all I could do was gasp.

"What is it?" Nanoha says coming from behind me.

"It's the locket. It's open" I quickly turn it over to see what was inside. I had wanted to know what was in this locket since Chrono had given it to me all those years ago and now I'll finally know.

Once turned, within the locket laid picture of a man and a woman smiling, holding each other in their arms. I recognized my father immediately, but who was the woman? She has blonde hair and beautiful burgundy eyes just like me.

"Is this….. my mother?" I whisper as I gently trace the woman's face in the picture. Then something sprung from it. It was like a miniature video or something. And my father's face appeared.

"Fate if you are watching this, it means that I'm no longer here. I've been deemed a traitor by the demon world for falling in love with a human, your mother, and bearing a child with her. I'm sure that you were brought up to be evil, but that's not what I wanted for you. I had planned to live with you and your mother in the human world so that you would live a normal happy life free from the evil that dwells in the world, but of course you know that it never happened. I wished that I could have seen you grow up. Your mother did to, but the situation had made it difficult. But it's not too late though. Your mother is still alive and is waiting for you. I can only wish that you two will become close and love each other just as I loved the both of you. I love you my dear Fate"

The video suddenly vanishes. I hadn't noticed the tears falling from my eyes until Nanoha wiped them away. Just as I kissed her hand, a yellow light beams from the necklace engulfs both Nanoha and I.

20 years ago

I had been on edge since Sira gave birth to Fate. I've tried to keep it a secret from her that there have been attempts on my life. I didn't want to worry her, but I do fear that something will happen soon. No, I know it will. My eyes drift over towards the bassinet that Fate lays quietly in. And then they shift to Sira. It amazes me how she continues to stay beautiful even after a few years that has passed since we've been together. I wonder if Fate will be just as beautiful. I'm sure she will. I wonder…..if I'll be here to see her grow up.

That smell. Shit.

"Sira! Sira get up" I said shaking her lightly. Her eyes opened. Her eyes turned from sleepy to fear in an instant.

"It's happening isn't it?"

"Yes it is. I have to get you somewhere safe before they find you here" I said getting out of bed. I gently pulled her out of bed. She stopped moving.

"I don't want to go. I don't want to go somewhere without you Draco" Her tears were already coming down her cheeks.

"Sira if you don't go now then they are going to kill you. I can't live knowing that"

"Well what about Fate? I want to take her with me"

"You can't Sira. Fate has demon blood in her. They would find her and then would probably kill you both. I can't risk that"

"I can't leave my baby behind Draco. Don't make me do that" her tears came down harder. I wiped them away.

"I know it's hard, but you have to for right now. I promise that I'll make sure that you two will reunite someday"

"What do you mean? Aren't all of us going to get back together?" I looked at her with sad eyes. I knew that it would be impossible.

"I don't think that's going to happen Sira" She quickly kissed me. This would probably be our last kiss. The smell was getting closer. "I have to teleport you now Sira. I promise that you'll see Fate again" I kissed her one last time. "I love you"

"I love you too" and with that, I waved my hand and she was gone. Be safe Sira

I quickly made my way over to the bassinet, but stopped when I heard a familiar voice.

"Ah Draco. Sorry to barge in so late" I turn around and faced my friend. I was shocked to see him.

"Why are you here Chrono?"

"Why else would I be here, but to kill you Draco. You should have known better to mess with the human and on top of that, you had a kid with her"

"Kill me? You're my friend"

"Not anymore. This is my chance to move up in the ranks Draco. And with you gone, no one can stand in my way of being the best.

"You would kill me just to be superior? We've been through a lot together. It means nothing to you?"

"Yes it did. You were my friend and you helped me out. I'm grateful to you for that, but times change my friend. The boss wants you gone and so it shall be done" he vanishes. I look around my surrounding trying to see where he went, but I couldn't find him. "Looking for me?" He says as he kicks the back of my head.

I hit the wall across the room. I didn't have any time to react before he came behind me, whipping me around to face him.

"You've grown weak since you fell for that human. You're pathetic Draco. This is good-bye"

I could feel this unbearable pain in my chest. It was as if something was squeezing my heart. When Chrono pulled out, before I hit the floor, I could see my heart pounding in his hands.

I looked towards the bassinet where Fate was still sleeping. I reached my hand out towards her, but as much as I tried, I could not reach her.

I could feel me choking on my own blood. I was going to die, but I still wanted to see my daughter one last time. I reach for her one more time, but a foot quickly crushes my hand. I grunt out in pain.

"Don't worry about Fate. I'll take good care of her" he laughs. That's the last thing that I hear as my vision goes black. Forgive me Fate and Sira.

The light disappears and Nanoha and I are back in Chrono's room. I can't believe that it really happened. My parents were taking away from me over something stupid. I'm happy that I was able to avenge my father's death. I wish that I could have met him…..

"Fate, are you okay?" I smile.

"Yeah. Let's go home" and with that, I teleport us back to where we belong.

~0~

I was nervous. The nerves that I was currently feeling surpassed anything that I have felt before.

"Fate, are you nervous?" I gave her a nervous look. "I guess that's a yes" she laughs. "Well you've been waiting for this day since a couple days. Now that we're here, let's enjoy it okay?" she kisses me and it calms my nerves a bit.

She was right. I had been waiting for this day for a couple days now. No, I've been waiting for this day my whole life. I just hope that I can make my father's last wish come true.

"Here goes nothing" I knock on the door.

I hear footsteps come almost instantly. I think that my nerves just came back. The door finally opens. There she was. I woman I had been wanting to meet my whole life. It was amazing how we looked almost identical, but she was more beautiful, even with the few wrinkles she had.

I could tell that she was shocked. She placed her hand over her open mouth. Tears soon followed as she hesitantly reached out for me and pulled me into a hug.

Her body was so warm. It felt very welcoming to me. And as if it was natural, I wrapped my arms around her, holding her tightly.

"Am I dreaming?" she says. "Are you really my little girl?" she pulls back from the hug. She examines me a little before she places her right hand on my left cheek. I hold it in mine.

"Yes it's me mom and I'm here to stay. I don't want to be without you" I said. I think tears started falling down my eyes at that point. I couldn't believe that I was standing in front of my mother.

She quickly pulls me into another hug. "I'm never going to let you go again" and she held me for a long time before she let go. "And who might this pretty young lady be?" she smiled. I turned to face Nanoha. She was crying like a baby. She was such a child sometimes. I walk over to her wiping her tears away and she wiped mine. I placed a kiss on her lips.

"This is the love of my life, Nanoha" I said looking at Nanoha in the eyes. She smiles.

"Well, let's come inside and get to know each other better since we're all family" I smile at that and all of us walk inside.

This was definitely that best day of my life. I have Nanoha. I have my mom. And I had a father that made this meeting possible. I love you Dad.

Hope everyone enjoyed. Please review of course. One more chapter left.
