Thank you for the reviews people, much appreciated, My goal for this story is 250 Reviews, I am a bit off that, and it might be a bit too high……

But, this is the chapter we have been waiting for!!, the one when Eve comes back……..or does not and possibly dies……FIND out!!

Oh, and I have fast forwarded Xavier's walk with Lavah, as it will pretty much be the same as before, so right now they are somewhere between the Moonflow and Mushroom rock.

Doug's POV

Chapter 26: Inbetween

We were now on our way to Luca, currently traveling on the Mi-hen highroad. All around us was some kind of plants, in the distance there were machines harvesting the crop.

I looked behind me to see the others, I saw Joe dragging Eve along, holding her hand walking in front of her, like she was a disobedient child, her eyes where open and she would occasional mutter something about the end of Spira and the revival of Asura.

I turned to face Kamok, who was walking beside me, he was silent as always, but he looked on ahead….I guess we all didn't really know what was going on….this whole journey was Xavier's Idea.

"I cannot continue" Kamok said, finally speaking up.

"Uh……why?" Tsuki said scratching his head.

"I promised Xavier we would have a rematch at mushroom rock…..I will go back and wait for him there and hone my skills" Kamok said, folding his arms.

"Mmm, Well, looks like that is how it will be…..if you do Meet with Xavier……………tell him I have continued on to Kilika, alone" I said, holding out my hand.

Kamok shook my hand nodding his head.

"Wait a minute, you are not going to go to Kilika, I am coming with you" Joe said, letting go of Eve's hand and stepping towards me. Eve then fell on her arse, her legs spread out in front of her. I think I saw a bit of drool…..but I chose to ignore it.

"Yeah, I think we are all coming with you" Tsuki said, stepping forward.

"Enough…we will talk more about it in Luca" I said, turning around and continuing to walk.

"Hey, this is serious Doug" Joe said, starting to walk after me.

"Joe, I think you are forgetting someone" I said in a calm voice, not turning back.

I looked over my shoulder when Joe turned around, I saw Eve trying to eat a rock, she had a bit of drool coming down her chin now….kinda gross, yet as a guy I found it kinda amusing. I watched as Joe pried the rock from Eve and help her stand up again, she turned and faced me with a scowl look on her face... I turned back around and continued to walk towards Luca.

Ok, just wanted to fill you guys in on what was happening with them, now we are going back to Xavier's group as things are about to happen! Man I love Eve like this, it is cool, think about it, a hot chick wearing little clothing drooling!

Xavier's POV

I was now on the way to mushroom rock, Lavah was walking behind me slowly humming some song, I didn't really pay attention much, too busy thinking about myself……ha…..what a funny concept.

"Hey…..Xavier……..what…………………what did I see in the mirror?" I knew Lavah was going to ask this, just after it happened I walked straight out and headed for the moonflow, she hadn't asked any questions so far, I guess she thought I needed time, but I knew what I had seen……..it was a dark angel, but why had I seen myself as that…

"It was a Dark Angel" no use hiding stuff from her now.

"Angel?" Lavah gasped

"Long story short, my father was a angel" I said, continuing to walk forwards with my ands behind my head.

"And…you didn't tell me" she said.

"You never asked" I said holding out my hands.

Lavah then walked past me and turned to face me, literally blocking my path.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me" she said, putting her hands on her hips.

"Ah…….I have a brother……and….I am going to Luca to get a boat to Kilika" I said with a smile.

"Kilika!, that is in the Demon territory!" she yelled, waving her hands around.

"I know that, I am going there to defeat the Demon Lord, but first I gotta get though the lower ranks" I said, still smiling.

"Your crazy, and here I was thinking that you were being a normal person and going to see blitzball" she huffed.

"There is that too, but you don't have to come, when we get to Luca, I will pay for an airship to send you back" I said as I pushed past her lightly and continued on, walking towards the mountains in the distance.

"Oh no, you got me into this mess, so I am coming with you now" I heard her shout from behind me.

I ignored her and continued to walk, we were back to what we were earlier, walking….with her behind me humming. It was actually quite pleasant, it was early in the morning so the sun wasn't too high, and with Lavah humming, it was peaceful.

We were now starting to get closer to Mushroom rock, we were now walking around a rocky area with some large formations coming out of the ground. I guess it was good as it was blocking out the sun a bit.

"Hey, Xavier, where are the others?" Lavah said from behind me.

"Um, I don't know, they might be in Luca" I said, dismissing the thought that they would continue to Kilika without me, although it did cross my mind.

"They are headed to Luca" I looked up towards the voice to see………….Kizer?

I quickly drew my sword and pushed Lavah behind me.

"Ha, you're a team-player, a save-the-day superhero . . . I hate people like you" Kizer said, taking a bite from a apple, instantly rotting it.

I continued to stare at him, ready for any attack.

"Don't crap yourself in anticipation Xavier…however I am not here to attack you, Tera has demanded that I wait…however….I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere-land! With THEM" Kizer trusted his hand out pointing behind me.

I turned around to quickly look what he was pointing at, coming over the rocks was hordes of zombies, like billions. They were crawling over each other, moaning and groaning different noises as they made there way towards us.

"So please Xavier…..take them off me" Kizer said, holding his hands together pleadingly, while having a huge yellow toothy smile on his face

I turned back towards Kizer to see him explode into black smoke, his smile still being seen though the smoke for a few seconds.

"Lavah! Run towards the mountains" I yelled, pushing her forwards while I held out my blade in front of me, ready to fend of the zombies.

"Xavier, come with me, you have no chance against them all!" Lavah yelled back, holding out her hand.

"Just go……….RUN!, don't look back no matter what you hear…….GOT IT!" I yelled at her, dark energy was starting to weep out of my sword.

"I don't want to leave you Xavier……." Lavah said looking at the ground.

"Lavah! NOW is not the time, run, I will catch up" I said, angrily yet sternly.

She nodded before turning and running towards mushroom rock, there is a base up there which the humans set up to fight the demons back in the day, they should help her.

I looked back towards the zombies, who now where only a few yards away, I could now clearly see there rotting flesh and dark beady eyes.

"Looks like it is time to play" I said quietly, looking up to see the sunrise. The light hit my and was slowly moving up, I could feel it burning my skin slowly.

I looked directly into the light and smiled, the zombies now in a full sprint towards me, just as they reached me the light hit my eyes, I threw off the shades.

BOOOOOOOOM!!

A huge explosion of white energy came around me, and then a tornado of black smoke came around me, sending some of the zombies flying backwards.

As the smoke cleared, I was standing there, with an evil smirk on my face, my arms folded as wings were spouting from my back, and one blood stained black angel wing and one huge bat wing.

I picked up my sword and outstretched my wings, facing the rest of the zombies, and let our a demonic war cry, before charging towards them.

There we go people, another cool chapter, not as long as most chapters have been, but this chapter was cool!! Next chapter will be sweet to, some more ZOMBIE thrashin, and KIZER came back, and I used some of Evil Ninjas Quotes!!

I have a BIO for the third Demon captain, IT WILL BE A SURPRISE, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! KEEP IT SECRET!!
