Mais' P.O.V

The clouds above roared as the sky began changing colour. I stood on Jihoki's head as I looked around. Women, children, men and animals all fled to find shelter. I however, was one of the few who stayed.

I looked around, I could see a various amount of demon hunters that were holding guns, holy water, crosses, you name any weapon, they had it.

The angels grouped behind me as we all stood on our respective hell hounds or hovered in the air. Most of the angels were around my age, others were younger, and just the slightest few were older. But there was no one over the age of 25, we wouldn't allow it.

At 25, Angels of Darkness started to lose their powers, some were lucky and managed to keep theirs, others weren't.

I frowned as I looked behind me, something about the hotel didn't feel right, it was almost as if something was resurrecting. I stared at the hotel for a minute, and another, and another, and then it hit me. Gene. Gene was inside the hotel, along with a number of other dead bodies.

I almost felt sorry for them, they were dead, and they were being forced to resurrect. But I felt more sorry for them at the fact that I'd have to kill them again. But I couldn't stop it, it was my duty to protect the earth, and I would do just that.

"Everyone fights, no one leaves unless injured, if cornered fly. You know how to handle a war like this; I have some unfinished business in the hotel. GO!" I ordered. Everyone listened as they took off in different direction, even Jihoki left to fight.

I ran through the halls of the hotel, I didn't know where I was going, I didn't care where I was going, I needed to find Gene's body. I stopped once I realised Gene wouldn't have a soul; he'd be a zombie, or a ghoul. There wasn't that much of a difference between them, but you knew it when you saw it.

I heard, sort of, a moaning sound from the room to my left. I looked at it. Room 513. Somehow, that doesn't surprise me. I stood in front of the door before I kicked it down. I shivered at the cold air that blew into my body.

Goose bumps appeared on my arms as cold hands gripped me. I looked up, Gene. But, at the same time, it wasn't Gene.

The person, thing, in front of me looked like Gene, but its face had deformed, its eyes were a total black, while its arms and legs looked like they'd drop off at any second.

I shook my head. I knew Gene wouldn't really look like that. He was possessed by something; after all, once someone was resurrected by an apocalypse, they would always become deformed.

I frowned, I couldn't rip its arms or legs off, or they'd be nothing to bury at the funeral Naru would want for him. I sighed as I did the next best thing…. I head butted it.

The thing stumbled back as I felt a couple more hands on my shoulders. I quickly grabbed them before flipping them over.

"OUCH!" the thing yelled. I held my fists in front of me as the person rose to their feet. It was too dark to tell who it was, but once I saw cold blue eyes, my eyes instantly widened.

"NARU!" I yelled as I looked at him. The Gene ghoul stood behind him ready to charge.

"Mai I-,"

"DOWN!" I yelled as I tackled him out of the way before I held my right arm out. The Gene ghoul ran into it before I moved my arm forwards, flinging him right into the wall.

Naru looked up in shock as he looked at the still body of, well he couldn't make out what it was in the dark.

"You gotta go," I growled as I walked over to him, he gave me a look of confusion before standing up. "Naru don't, ghouls can kill humans with one bite," I stated as I turned to look at Naru, who was standing over Gene.

Without warning the Gene ghoul sprang to its feet, grabbed Naru's head and bit down into his neck and shoulder.

"NARU!" I yelled as he screamed in pain, a sight I never thought I'd see. I quickly pulled Naru away before running out of the room with him, the Gene ghoul hot on our tails.

As we ran, more and more blood spilled from Naru's neck, while more and more ghouls appeared from nowhere.

Once we reached outside, we stopped. Everything had changed, everything was different. I looked around quickly. The houses and shops had turned to ruins, piles of rubble and the dead bodies of humans littered the floor.

I looked up; the blood red sky was getting darker, feeding on the death of everything under it. My eyes went to the forest; I knew that was here Hinanto was.

I did a round house kick to Gene's face as he came up behind me. I looked at him with apologetic eyes before rushing into the forest; Naru was hot on my trial.

As we ran, I saw a numerous amount of demons, hunters, Angels of Darkness and Angels of Heaven, no idea why they were here though.

"MAI!" Naru called, I didn't stop running until his hand grabbed mine, making me stop.

"MAI STOP!" Naru yelled in my face, I looked up at him with dead, emotionless eyes before glaring at him.

"This is my duty, I have to protect earth," I told him as calmly as I could. Every second I was wasting, was a second that earth was being destroyed.

"And what are you going to do when you find Hinanto?" Naru countered as he looked at me.

"You mean we," I turned at the sound of Monk's voice.

"We're not letting you go into this alone, even if we can't help, we're going to give you moral support," Ayako stated as she looked at Yasu, John, Masako, Madoka and Lin.

"Guys it's too-," I was stopped when I felt a pair of strong hands grip my throat. My eyes snapped to the cultrate, it was a demon identical to the one that killed my parents.

"LET HER GO!" John yelled as I kicked the thing in the stomach, sending it stumbling back.

"Hands off the merchandise," I growled as I placed my hands together, my wings sprouted from my back as my eyes started glowing an eerie red colour.

I flew into the air before flapping my wings, the black feathers turned into black daggers as they struck the demon. I swooped down before tackling the demon onto the ground. My knife appeared in my hand as I stabbed it through the eye.

I watched as it screamed in pain before it flung me into a nearby tree.

"MAI!" everyone yelled as I staggered to my feet, trying my hardest not to collapse under my own weight, hell wasn't giving out as much energy as what it normally did. In other words, the Angles of Darkness, the hunters and the Angels of Heaven, also known as the Angels of Light, were losing the battle against Hinanto.

In a flash, Masako had swooped passed me, my dagger in her hand, before she stabbed the demon in the stomach. My eyes went wide as she pulled the knife out. The blade turned blue before the demon was sucked inside of it.

I looked at Masako's back, white wings sprouted from her. She turned to me; her hair had turned white while her eyes had turned a light shade of pale blue. I looked at her in shock, while she looked at me in shock.

I looked at the feather I had given her; it had gone from black, to white. I smiled slightly before gripping my arm; I wasn't in this alone now. I had Masako, but she had no idea how to fight.

"Congrats," I whispered as I kneeled on one knee. "You're an Angle of Light," I add as I rose back to my feet, I had regained some energy.

Masako gave me another shocked look before smiling slightly as she held her hand out to me. I took it as we both flew into the air. We hovered back to back as we looked for Hinanto.

We finally saw him, middle of the clearing and drawing Hell's energy into his body.

"We have to stop him, before he gets too powerful," I ordered as we landed back on the ground.

"Mai, something's wrong with Naru," John stated as we walked over to the others. I looked at Naru who had turned pale; I could also see his veins clearly through his skin.

"Naru," no answer, I knelt to the ground, "Naru," I said again, still nothing, "Naru!" I called, this time slapping him around the face, he looked at me a little shock ran over his features, but he mainly looked exhausted and fed up. I frowned, pursing my lips together, "Naru listen to me, you need to fight what's happening, that's the only way we'll ever beat Hinanto. If you turn against us we're all dead so fight the change, understand me?" I asked, Naru nodded his head weakly.

"Help him get to the clearing in the forest, if he turns use this," Masako ordered as she pulled one of her feathers off, "Just attach it around his neck, then everything should be fine for him, at least until this is over," she explained as she handed Ayako a white feather that appeared on a chain. Ayako nodded her head before putting it in her pocket.

Monk and John helped Naru to his feet before we all started walking through the forest to the clearing. I looked at Masako, who nodded her head; Ayako and Lin were ready to defend themselves, Naru, Monk and John if it was needed.

When we got to the clearing, the sight I saw…..it made me…it was…..I couldn't…..it just…it wasn't real. I couldn't be.

This place, this clearing, had well and truly turned to hell.

Sorry for the late update and the short chapter, I'm trying to break the last few chapters down so that the story doesn't end too soon. There will be about two, maybe three, more chapters until this story is finished, hopefully it'll be done in the next few days, since I have some free time. Anyway, review and I'll update ASAP…..REVIEW!
