Chapter 23: Part 2:
"Water Bullets!" Sally yelled, sending hundreds of the small balls of water at Daemon, keeping him pinned to the wall... for now.
Meanwhile, Kid had reached Cerberus and the Storm Serpent. The Serpent hissed as he approached, but was unable to attack the Reaper since it was still being held down by Cerberus.
"Fire Fist!"
Kid drove his fist into the Storm Serpent's red eye and blue flames spread over the creature's face and it hissed in pain. Kid screamed and drove his fist deeper into its eye. The Storm Serpent's eye went dark and the creature dissolved into shadows, returning to where it came from. Kid sighed in relief and turned towards Cerberus.
"Alright, Cerberus, time to use our secret technique." Kid said, petting the dog's middle nose. "Fusion!"
Cerberus dissolved into shadows, which surrounded the Reaper's body and sunk into his skin. Kid's pointy ears became longer and stuck out more from his head, his fangs elongated slightly and his nose became a little more pointed. His fingernails grew longer and came to a point similar to Amaimon's claws. Kid's pupils dilated then became slits in his two-toned golden irises. Finally, his spiky hair became slightly more messy in appearance.
Daemon shot a bolt of lightning towards Sally, shocking her and forcing her to cease her attack. The Elf appeared in front of her and smacked her to the ground.
"Insolent girl, you need to learn your place under MY rule." Daemon kicked her sharply in the ribs, cracking several of them and knocking her out. He then turned around and noticed the absence of his familiar and the more canine-like looking Kid.
"Well then, I guess you're going to go 'all out' against me now?" Daemon asked condescendingly.
Kid scowled and disappeared from the Elf's sight, reappearing behind him and hitting his back point-blank with a blast of fire. Daemon cried out and staggered away, spinning on his heels and blasting lightning towards Kid. Kid dodged and the aura around him changed to a purple-black color.
"Shadow Fire!" he yelled, "Dragon's Breath!"
A blast of purple-black flames shot from Kid's mouth towards Daemon, who deflected the blast with his arm. The remaining sleeve of his short was burned away and the fire seared his skin. He growled, partly in pain and partly in anger, glaring menacingly at Kid. Liz and patty watched their meister fight from their weapon forms, awed.
"Wow, Kid is scary~!" Patty said, laughing. Liz remained silent.
Be careful, Kid. she thought.
Daemon rushed towards Kid in a blind rage, lightning gathering in the palms of his hands. HE grabbed Kid by the shoulders sending thousands of volts of electricity into the Reaper's body.
"Lightning Paralysis!" Daemon smirked triumphantly at the glaring Reaper.
Kid winced in pain as the electricity continued to travel throughout his limbs, making them feel numb. He brought his head back and slammed it forward into the Elf's, repeatedly head-butting him until he was forced to let go. Daemon stumbled backwards, trying to clear his head after taking eight blows.
"Shadow Sword!"
Kid used the dark energy blade to cut across Daemon's chest from his left collar bone to his right hip. Blood gushed from the wound, covering pale skin in a bright red, and Daemon clutched at his chest groaning in pain. He stumbled further back, before regaining his balance, panting heavily. He examined the wound and the dark red that was flowing like a river down his body and onto the floor. He then looked to his left and saw the knife he had used on Kid earlier a few inches away.
"You, bastard! I'll kill you here and now. The human race will be destroyed and I will lead the new world, a world run by Death creatures!" Daemon ran towards Kid, picking up the knife, and slashed at Kid's already scarred left eye. Kid back flipped out of the way of the blade, one of the pistols falling from its holster and skidding across the floor.
"It's over, Daemon." Kid said, landing at a crouch over by the remains of the door.
"No, it's not over until you're dead!" Daemon yelled, holding out one hand and controlling the madness inside Kid. Red and black lightning surrounded the Reaper, but unlike the last time Kid didn't scream in agony and instead rose to his feet, glaring at Daemon.
"You've lost. I may still be cursed, but I won't lose myself again and you can no longer control me." Kid said, "Now, we finish this, once and for all."
A flash of pink light appeared to the right of the door, but Kid paid no attention to it.
"Secret Arts: Triple Form!" Kid said, his body emitting dark shadow energy that took the form of two clones on either side of him.
Daemon disappeared from sight and when Kid looked around he saw Daemon to his right. In the Elf's arms was Liz, the knife poised at her neck.
"Looks like you've lost, Kid! I may not be able to control you anymore, but I can still kill her. Now surrender or lose the girl you care about." daemon yelled, tightening his grip on Liz, who was trying to break out of his grasp.
"Daemon, let her go, now! This is between you and me, she has nothing to do with this." Kid ordered.
"Not unless you give up and die." Daemon said darkly.
"I don't think I will." Kid said, smirking at the Elf.
"Then watch her die!" Daemon yelled raising the knife to strike the weapon girl, when his wrist was stopped. Black shadows wrapped around his wrist, holding it above his head. Several more shadows appeared wrapping around his other wrist and his ankles. Daemon was forced to let go of Liz as he was lifted into the air. He craned his neck around and looked behind him, noticing one of Kid's clones was controlling the shadow bonds.
Liz ran over to Kid's side again. She had seen the clone sneak around behind Daemon, while Kid distracted him.
He saved me, again Liz thought happily.
"I told you Daemon. It's over." Kid told the trapped Elf, holding his arms out on either side of his body. The fiery aura around Kid transformed itself into the shape of a large bird. "Phoenix Flame Rush!"
Kid rushed towards the Elf, ramming his head into Daemon's stomach at full speed. The air was knocked out of Daemon's lungs as the Reaper continued to spear right through him. Kid reappeared on the other side of Daemon, leaving behind a large gaping hole in the Elf's stomach. Kid's clones disappeared in a display of flames along with the shadow bonds and Daemon's lifeless body dropped to the ground, his formerly black eyes now a blank white.
"Diffusion!" Kid said quietly and the canine-like features vanished as shadows flew from his body, taking the shape of Cerberus again. Kid let the flame-like aura disappear with a sigh and turned to face Liz. Patty transformed out of her weapon form, landing next to her sister.
"Yay! We won~! We won~!" Patty cheered.
Liz smiled and pulled Kid into a hug, crushing the air out of the bruised Reaper. Liz released him after a few moments, holding him at arm's length. A flash of blue flew by their faces and they watched as Sally's Nymph hovered over her unconscious body emitting a blue light, which then surrounded Sally's body. As the glow faded, Sally opened her eyes and got shakily to her feet. She glanced around the room noticing Daemon's body.
"So, it's over, we won?" she asked, looking at her cousin. Kid nodded.
"Yahoo! Leave this to me! No one can take on a big man like me!" Black*Star yelled, crashing through the wall, followed by everyone else. "Where's the enemy?! I'll make him pay for what he did to my friend!"
"Is everyone alright?" Mephisto asked, while Black*Star began looking around for the enemy.
"Just a little sore." Sally replied, noticing Rin passed out on Amaimon's back. "Is he...?"
"He should be back to normal when he wakes up." Amaimon said.
At that moment, a tube similar to the one that sucked up the syringe full of Kid's blood appeared from the ceiling and picked up the bloody scrap of Daemon's shirt that the Elf had torn off during the fight. It then disappeared back into the ceiling.
"What was that about?" Maka asked.
"I don't know, but I'm sure it's nothing we need to worry about right now." Kid replied, though he didn't look so sure.
"So, now what do we do?" Soul asked, watching Tsubaki try to calm Black*Star, who was complaining about not being able to fight Daemon.
"We can all go home!" Mephisto said.
A/N: Next chapter is the epilogue and so far no one has figured out where the blood is going. It's your last chance to guess, remember that the hint is at the end of Chapter 16.
