Disclaimer: Still not my characters
AN: Sorry for the wait again! After this there are five chapters left. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. You're wonderful.
Warning:An OC in this chapter. And a violent fight scene (which I'm bad at writing - this was my first attempt at a fight scene. Attempt being the correct word)
Vincent stared in horror. He had never expected Reno to change so quickly. What confronted him now was nothing like his friend. It was a monster. The creature's skin was pale, its eyes a furious purple, cut down the centre with thin pupils. The mouth was full of fangs, ready to tear and rip, draw blood. It kept advancing towards him.
"Who are you?" Vincent asked, playing for time. He couldn't see what had caused this monster to come to the surface; there had been no direct threat to Reno's safety.
The creature's wings unfurled, huge violent purple, threatening to fill the whole room. It opened its mouth, and a fierce guttural snarl escaped.
"Fear."
Vincent stared at the monster, before his own self preservation instincts kicking in. His eyes took on a yellow light as his own red and black wings opened out, his face gaining the distinctive lines of his strongest demon.
"Chaos."
The demons snarled at each other across the room, unnatural eyes shining with pure hatred. Each saw the other as an invader on their territory. Mirror images, they opened their mouths wide, exposing deadly sharp fangs. Chaos's chest glittered blue from the material contained with in it, whilst it was only Fear's eyes that shone.
They launched themselves at each other, flapping their wings in an attempt to gain height as they fought tooth and nail to subdue the other. Fear lunged up towards Chaos, sharp teeth snapping at his wings. He got a hold and pulled him back down to the floor. Chaos tore his wing from Fear's mouth, and grabbed the nearest object, a heavy wooden chair, and threw it straight at his opponent.
Fear dodged, the chair just clipping the edge of his wing. The chair carried on, slamming into the television and smashing the plasma screen, sending fragments of glass across the room. Rude watched from the kitchen, horrified. Not because of the television, he could buy a new one, but because of the fact there were two full-fledged demons fighting inside his house, and neither one seemed willing to stop just because their human would want them to. This could be lethal.
Chaos realized his opponent was fast, but he was faster. He threw the table which had been next to the chair at the purple-eyed monster. Fear fell backwards, hit by the table, but he threw himself up, jumping the now upside-down table. He jumped forwards, tackling Chaos and knocking him to the ground.
Chaos's head slammed back against the floor, and he brought his metal hand up, scratching at Fear's wings. When they caught an artery, Fear howled in pain, trying to pull away from the source of the hurt. On reflex, he sunk his claws into Chaos' thigh. The pain infuriated Chaos, and he threw Fear back into the wall. He jumped after him, pushing Fear further back against the wall as his claws pressed against his neck, keeping him in place. Fear snarled with fury, trying to scratch Chaos and bite him.
In retaliation Chaos kept banging his head against the wall until he felt Fear go limp, but at the slight slow of the impacts, Fear reached his arms back behind himself, pushing away from the wall and pushing Chaos yet again to the floor.
Rude watched in horror at the violence. It was a side to Reno that he had never seen before, and it frightened him. This wasn't his partner. This wasn't the man he'd trained alongside, the man he would trust with his life. This was someone else, but the red ponytail down Fear's back made it clear that it was Reno as well.
Chaos struggled against the restraining hands. He got his clawed hand free and managed to attack Fear's wings. His claws pierced them and Fear howled in agony. He tried to move away, but it was tearing the wings worse. Chaos pulled his hand to the side, mercilessly shredding Fear's wings. He took advantage of Fear's moment of weakness. He flipped them over, ignoring Fear's now feeble struggles.
He placed his hands around Fear's neck, strangling him as hard as he could until Fear's body went limp. He stood, aiming a kick at the fallen body.
Both men transformed back at the same time. Vincent stood there panting heavily, slowly taking in the destruction throughout the room. Blood ran down from his shoulders and thigh. His knees went weak as he saw what was on the floor. Reno laid there still, blood slowly leaving him from a myriad of wounds. He wasn't breathing.
