Hey gang! Well, not a whole lot new in my life. Last week, I went to my grandparents once more. My grandfather seems to be doing well enough. Other than that, not a whole lot has changed with me I suppose.

Writing wise, things are moving rather nicely with this story, to an extent, lol. The same can be said about Another also. Hopefully, with any luck, I can began posting two chapters for this story once more in the near future, but no promises at this moment.

Last time, Illidan and Marie had a fight, with him walking off. After cooling off, he decided to return to her, only to be challenged before reaching her by a Fallen Angel named Beelzebub. Beelzebub has seemingly challenged everything that Illidan has always believed in, with him now wondering if he can win or not. With only a handful of life points left, can Illidan defeat this Fallen Angel, or will he lose his soul?

Yay, time for reviews!

Aelsthla-Mental: It's alright, hehe. I hadn't realized I misspelled fleas. I must have been paying no attention, hehe. But as for Beelzebub knowing that Yubel beat the other Fallen Angels, he doesn't know yet. Remember, they were all sent out at once, so Beelzebub has had no real contact with the others. But yes, the combo you've seen is Metal Overlord 2.0's. Glad you think I did the combo rather well. Yep, Illidan is in real trouble at the moment. It seems like Beelzebub has a counter to everything Illidan does. Thanks for the review!

Metal Overlord 2.0: Heh, I'm glad you're happy to see your Kozaky deck in play at long last, hehe. Ah, cool about the name. Ardee actually named him, hehe. I wanted to just call him L, but that didn't work out. Glad you think I handled your strategy rather well. It was fun adding in counter measures to keep Illidan in a rut too. Lol, yes, I had to have Kozaky's reaction to Kozaky's Sexy Kitty, hehe. Very true, Beelzebub's character is hard to figure out. It is kind of like he's cold, yet detached to emotion at the same time, yet he seems to have flickers of emotion also. True, you'd think Beelzebub would have some sympathy for Illidan over protecting Marie and Arya, but you have to remember, the Fallen Angels have an agenda, so he can't go getting soft due to the similar characteristics that the two may have. But yes, it's fun to watch Beelzebub pushing Illidan's unyielding resolve to keep fighting. Heh, yeah, it does give you some inspiration. Think of that inspiration as a prefight to this, hehe. I'm glad you liked what I did with this chapter, and I hope you like this one coming up. Thanks for your review!

Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks. Very true, one has to wonder how Illidan will get himself out of this mess. He's been in tough fights like this before, but now he's backed into a corner. Turn dark like Jaden did, eh? Never know. Thanks for the review!

Well, that's all for the reviews for this round. Thank you three for your reviews, I really enjoyed them. I truly appreciate each of your reviews, just so you know. They're helpful in gauging if what I'm writing is still on the mark or not.

At any rate, I'm done for today. Enjoy gang!

Chapter 28

Panting lightly, Illidan sat on his hands and knees still. Blood continued to drip down from his wounds, but he ignored it. The words of Beelzebub caused him more pain than his wounds did.

"I'm not strong enough... After all this time, thinking I was strong enough to protect my family, my friends, and everyone else, I come to find out the strength I require is not there. If I lose to Beelzebub, it's all over."

Clenching his right hand tightly till his nails dug into his skin and blood was drawn, Illidan growled out in his mind "No! I won't give up here! There has to be a way!"

Weakly, he moved his left hand to look at the remaining card he had. Seeing it, he frowned even further. "This card, it could win me the duel, but even if I summoned it, it would be just as weak as my other monsters in defense. And I only have one last draw before Beelzebub takes me out. What do I do? What do I do!?"

Tightly closing his eyes, Illidan screamed out in his mind in anger when the words of Beelzebub began ringing in his ears. "What a shame that you don't release that inner rage. If you ever chose to use the power of darkness within your heart, I would almost guess that your power would be greater than my Master's, but not likely. After all, you are too afraid to ever let go of this façade of kindness."

"Could the darkness in my soul be strong enough to help me win this duel and save those that I have sworn to protect?"

Images of Chazz and Kevin floated into his mind instantly, thinking of them and the sacrifice each had made. "They're gone, they're gone because I couldn't protect them. I failed each of them. If I lose here, I will fail Marie as well. She'll never survive a duel with Beelzebub, I know it."

Closing his eyes tightly, Illidan made his decision. "To defeat the darkness of this world, I myself shall become that very darkness. I will forsake all to stop it. I only pray I can return from it to resume my life, but I have little choice in the matter now. If I don't do this, those that I love and care about will perish, and I cannot allow that!"

"Forgive me Marie for what I do. I love you with all my heart, but I must stop this evil, no matter the cost. If it is my soul that must suffer, then so be it. I do this for you and Arya, and for all of our friends and family. No matter what, I will always treasure our time together."

"Illidan, giving into darkness is a dangerous path." his old master, Squall, had once told him in his previous life. "If you give into it, you will gain great power, but you will lose your soul as well. With power comes sacrifice. You may never return from the darkness. Very few have. So please, my student, never give into it. I should hate to see you lost within it."

The words of his former master stung Illidan, but he ignored the sting. "I'm sorry master, but to save those that I love, I will become the very darkness I've fought my entire life. Forgive this student, for being such a fool."

--

Watching Illidan sit on the ground, panting lightly, Beelzebub frowned. "What is he doing? I know he's not that injured. That is for certain."

Without warning, a foul wind began kicking up sand and dirt around the area. Glancing around, Beelzebub soon realized the source of the wind was Illidan. His body was glowing with a black aura while he slowly stood back up.

"He wouldn't have given into the darkness, would he?"

Standing straight up, Illidan lifted his head and revealed his eyes, which were no longer brown and full of serenity and kindness. His eyes now were red and full of anger, malice, and hate.

"You will die here." Illidan coldly remarked, making a chill run up Beelzebub's spine.

Drawing his card, Illidan glanced at it and showed it quickly, saying "I play the spell Graceful Charity. Now I draw three cards and discard two."

Picking up three new cards, he examined them and selected two cards from his hand and placed them into his Graveyard Slot. Slapping a monster onto his Duel Disk, he coldly said "I summon Horus' Servant (100/100) in defense."

An Egyptian man dressed in a white battle skirt, white armor over his chest, a black cape on his back, and a golden helmet on his head appeared onto the field in a crouching stance.

"I'm not done yet, for I play the spell Level Modulation! With this, you draw two cards, so pick them up."

Looking oddly at Illidan, Beelzebub obeyed him and drew two cards. Sneering darkly at Beelzebub, Illidan coldly said "Now I get to revive a monster from my Graveyard with the word 'LV' in it. I pick this, my Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 (3000/1800)!"

Rising up onto the field while spewing hot black flames from it's mouth was a silver metallic looking dragon, with massive wings, two powerful clawed hands, clawed feet, a strong tail, and an eagle like head. Finishing it's spewing of flames, the dragon landed on the field and let out a horrific roar.

Unfazed, Beelzebub pointed at the silver dragon and said with a bored expression "You forgot about Stumbling, Illidan. Your dragon is forced into defense."

Smirking evilly, Illidan replied "Not quite. You see, I summoned Horus' Servant, as you remember, who negates all spell, trap, and monster effects that would happen to affect it's master. That means Horus is not going to defense. Plus, the secondary effects of Level Modulation are ignored also. Normally, my dragon couldn't attack or use it's effect, but thanks to Horus' Servant, Horus is completely unaffected."

Beelzebub could not help but let a gasp of shock escape his lips, while Illidan yelled "Horus, trash his pathetic Kozaky with Darkness Flames!"

"Wait, Kozaky's Sexy Kitty forces you to attack her when you attack other Kozaky monsters!" Beelzebub protested.

Sneering, Illidan replied "Maybe so, but don't forget, Horus is unaffected by your monster's effect thanks to his servant. Now then, Horus incinerate that pathetic creature!"

Roaring loudly, the silver dragon opened it's jaws and shot a stream of dark flames at the weaker mage. The female cat creature could only watch on with tears in her eyes as her mentor was flash fried by the flames and turned into ash before her very eyes. The remainder of the flames struck Beelzebub, who shielded himself with his left arm. Soon enough, the flames died down, but it was obvious Beelzebub was shaken up.

Evilly chuckling, Illidan smartly said "One down, two to go. Soon Beelzebub, you will fall to your knees once I've crushed you completely. I end my move." (Beelzebub 5900, Illidan 1300)

Staring at Illidan, Beelzebub tried to analyze the young man, but found he was unable to determine anything. "He gave into the darkness, but did he fully give in? I can't tell. His soul is hidden from me. Before, I could see it. It was powerful, but not at full strength. Now, I wonder if this darkness that has risen will beat me or not."

Drawing his card, he mumbled in his mind "Only one way to find out." "I activate the spell Silent Doom, to resurrect…"

"Not quite." Illidan smugly remarked. "I activate Horus's effect. Whenever you play a spell, I have the choice of negating it or not. I choose to."

Roaring loudly once more, the silver dragon spat a dark fire ball at Beelzebub's hand that was showing the spell card. The card was incinerated by the blast, making Beelzebub growl with irritation.

Glaring at the silver dragon, Beelzebub glanced at the weaker creature beside it and called out "Kozaky's Sexy Kitty, get rid of that eyesore of a weaker creature with Cat Scratch Fever!"

Letting out a small snarl, the female cat creature raced forward and slashed the weaker Egyptian man, making him cry out in pain before shattering.

"I end my turn." Beelzebub 5900, Illidan 1300)

"Pathetic." Illidan coldly remarked while picking up a card. "I activate Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two cards."

Grabbing two new cards, Illidan examined them momentarily before saying "Horus, obliterate his so called creature of love. Darkness Flames!"

Letting out a loud roar, the silver dragon opened it's jaws, allowing dark flames to erupt from it's mouth. Taking aim, the dragon shot a stream of the dark flames straight for the female purple creature.

"You are so impatient Illidan." Beelzebub remarked. "I activate my trap, Kozaky Defense Network! Your monster is now destroyed and your Battle Phase ends!"

Appearing before the female cat warrior was a set of auto turret lasers. Taking to the controls, the female cat creature took aim and began firing successive blasts at the black flames. The flames were pushed back till finally the laser blasts struck the silver dragon's mouth, making it roar out in pain before shattering.

Glaring darkly at Beelzebub, Illidan slid two cards into his Spell/Trap Slots and said "I set these cards to end." (Beelzebub 5900, Illidan 1300)

Eyeing Illidan's face down cards carefully, Beelzebub drew his new card and placed it within his hand. Glancing at the face down cards again, he frowned.

"I had been reading his moves perfectly until the turn in which his eyes turned red. Now I can't determine what his moves are. Is it possible he has a plan to stop me now? No, I will not allow him to shake me."

"I activate Heavy Storm! This spell destroys all spell and trap cards, so say farewell to whatever you had planned." Beelzebub declared.

Swirling on the field, a set of tornados began gliding towards all of the spell and trap cards on both fields.

Smirking, Illidan coldly remarked "I think not. I play my trap, Waboku. For this turn alone, all Battle Damage you try to inflict upon me is reduced to zero."

Growling lightly, Beelzebub replied "Maybe so, but your other card is gone!"

The tornados instantly struck the other remaining face down card, revealing it to be a spell card. At the same time, Beelzebub's own spell card was struck, shattering it.

"I summon Giant Kozaky (2500/2400)!"

Materializing onto the field with a large thud was a huge round robot creature. It appeared to be a larger, robotic version of the purple skinned scientist who had been on the field earlier, with the exception that the robot's body was massively disproportioned. Also, it had four appendages hanging off of it, with two on the top half of it's body and the other two on it's front. The top two had one holding a mallet and the other being a drill. The other two appendages had clamps for hands.

"Unfortunately, due that I summoned Giant Kozaky without Kozaky on the field, he is destroyed by his own special effect."

"Then why bother?" Illidan irritably asked.

Smirking, Beelzebub showed another card, saying "Here is why! I play the spell Giant Kozaky Core Breach! Whenever Giant Kozaky is about to be destroyed by his own effect, this card allows me to sacrifice him instead to bring out a much more fiendish creature to my field. Welcome to the field my ultimate monster, Mutant Kozaky (2900/2800)!"

Instantly, the robot creature vanished from the field, leaving a cloud of gray smoke behind in it's wake. The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing a new creature within it. The creature had purple skin, a tattered white lab coat, ripped grey pants, a mangled black tie, and a pair of shattered glasses on it's nose. Sticking out it's back were several scale like spines that glowed with a green glow. His right arm was abnormal, for it had a lobster claw for an arm, and his legs were that of a dinosaur. Protruding out of his mouth were a pair of mismatching in length fangs. The creature only sneered at Illidan, seemingly showing it's malicious intent.

"Quite the looker, isn't he?" Beelzebub commented.

Looking away in disgust, Illidan smartly remarked "What a pathetic looking creature. I take it he's what represents the darkness within your own soul?"

"Quite a good guess Illidan." Beelzebub replied with a small bit of shock in his voice. "I wouldn't have guessed you'd figure it out, but you did. Yes, he represents my darkness. This creature will be your end. And now then, it's time for his special ability to kick in. For every Kozaky monster in my Graveyard, he gains 300 points. Right now, I have three, so that's 900 bonus points (2900 + 300 3 3800/2800 + 300 3 3700). Plus, he gains an additional 500 points since Kozaky's Sexy Kitty is still out (3800 + 500 4300/3700 + 500 4200)."

Letting out a primordial roar, the purple skinned creature flexed his muscles while his body was engulfed in a bright blue aura. Finishing powering up, the creature slammed it's lobster like claw into the ground, smashing a good sized hole into it.

"Next turn Illidan, you shall fall. Be wary, for your end is coming." (Beelzebub 5900, Illidan 1300)

Hiding his eyes below his bangs, Illidan slightly sneered and then began laughing. His laughter soon became booming, for it filled the entire area with what seemed like insanity.

Confused, Beelzebub asked "Why do you laugh!? Do you find this amusing that your losing?"

"No, I just find it funny that I'm going to tear you to pieces." Illidan remarked with a sneer.

Slightly chuckling, Beelzebub calmly replied "Really? Then let's see you carry out this so called threat on my life."

"Gladly." Illidan remarked while drawing a card. Showing it to Beelzebub, he said "I activate the spell Card of Sanctity, letting us both draw till we hold six cards."

Beelzebub let out a small grunt and picked up four cards while Illidan drew six new ones himself. Smirking at them, he held up a new card and said "I think it's time to open my options up, so I play Card Destruction. This spell forces us to each discard our hands to the Graveyard and draw the same number of cards we discard from our decks."

Shrugging, Beelzebub did as he was told and placed all six cards into his Graveyard while Illidan followed suit. Simultaneously, the pair picked up a new set of cards, with Illidan drawing five and Beelzebub getting six.

"A foolish move Illidan. You're wasting your time by discarding and drawing cards." Beelzebub commented.

Sneering, Illidan replied "I don't care. I activate the spell Monster Reborn, allowing me to bring back a servant of mine from the Graveyard. Come to your master's call, Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600)!"

Rising up onto the field instantly in a fiery pentagram was a blue skinned mage with mid-back length black hair, wearing tight fitting black leather armor and a strange mage's hat, wielding a long sleek black staff. Opening his eyes, the mage swung his staff, quelling the flames instantly. His eyes were red with yellow corneas.

Glancing at Illidan, the mage slightly gasped and weakly asked "Master Illidan…"

"Quiet." Illidan commanded darkly. "Thanks to my servant's revival, I get to add a spell to my hand from my Graveyard, so I pick the Chaos Fusion I sent with Card Destruction."

Holding his hand over his Graveyard Slot, Illidan sneered when the card pushed out into his awaiting hand. Picking it up, he called out "I next remove from play my Silent Magician LV4 and Exarion Universe to call forth Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500)!"

Materializing onto the field beside of the blue skinned mage was a warrior in full body black shiny armor, with gold trim on it. In his right hand was a bronze sword, while in his left was a powerful shield. On his head was a helmet with an open face, revealing his skin was light green, with long brown hair falling down his back.

"But it's not over yet!" Illidan declared fiercely. "I next remove from play my Tsukuyomi and Cyber Dragon to bring forth Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500)!"

Emerging onto the field instantly was a black dragon with an orange mane, powerful black wings, a long strong tail, large and strong clawed arms and legs. The dragon let out a massive roar, attempting to strike fear into the monsters on the field, but did little.

The two newcomers beside of the mage glanced back at Illidan, each in a bit of shock. They glanced back towards the mage, looking for an explanation, but received none.

"What is going on Master Illidan?" the soldier questioned with a look of surprise on his face.

Nodding, the dragon added "Master, why is there such a dark aura around you?"

"Quiet, both of you." Illidan hissed, surprising all three monsters. "I will speak to you when I'm ready."

Glaring at Beelzebub, Illidan showed another card, saying "It's time to show you the card that will bring about your end. I play the spell Chaos Fusion, fusing my Black Luster Soldier, Dark Magician of Chaos, and Chaos Emperor Dragon together to create a beast of untold power!"

"Wait Master Illidan, don't do this!" the mage declared with fear in his eyes.

Throwing a glare at the mage, Illidan growled out "Silence! You are my creatures, so do as I command! Merge together now, and bring forth Beelzebub's destroyer!"

Grudgingly, the three, the mage, the warrior, and dragon, began swirling together, causing lightning to suddenly begin flashing in the sky. The fierce storm raged on, sending lightning everywhere throughout the area, making Beelzebub cover his face to keep the wind from blowing sand in his eyes. At long last, a single bolt of lightning struck the field before Illidan, sending out a loud clap of thunder, along with a loud crashing sound.

Smoke flooded the area upon the strike, hiding what had landed. Slowly, the smoke dissipated, revealing large black wings, a long spear with a huge blade on the end of it, and a long black tail. The smoke soon receded from the upper air, revealing the face of the creature, that was horrific looking, with twin horns sticking off the sides of it's jaws, a white scruffy like beard, sharp teeth, a mane of green flames, and glowing flaming eyes. On it's shoulders were large shoulder pads, that held two huge chains, each holding up a chest plate to it's stomach. The creature had two large, powerful arms, with four legs, giving it the appearance of a half man, half horse creature, except for the legs being move of a dragon. The creature let out a monstrous roar, shaking everything in the area and making the monsters across from it quiver in fear.

Darkly chuckling, Illidan pointed at the flame headed creature. In a dark, cold voice, he said "Meet my newest Chaos creature, Chaos Demon God – Envoy of Oblivion (4500/4200)!"

Letting out another loud roar, the creature spat flames from it's jaws, increasing the heat in the area by many degrees. Beelzebub stared at the creature with no fear, but was clenching his right fist.

"You should fear him Beelzebub, because he brings not only chaos with him, but your end as well." Illidan coolly remarked. "I activate my creature's special ability! Once summoned, we are each allowed to special summon monsters from our Graveyards to our field."

Gasping in surprise, Beelzebub stilled and said "I choose these two then. First, I call up Giga Gagagigo (2450/1500), and then my Gogiga Gagagigo (2950/2800), both in defense mode."

Appearing onto the field side by side were two reptile like creatures. The first was a green lizard like creature with numerous silver robotic implants on his body, giving him numerous spikes sticking out. Next to the creature appeared a red muscular creature with golden robotic implants and numerous spikes sticking out. Both instantly took up kneeling positions.

"Very well, coward." Illidan commented. "As for me, I choose Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500), Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600), Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500), and Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 (3000/1800)!"

Rising up onto the field first was the black armored warrior. Next to him reappeared the black armored mage, who had the black dragon with an orange mane roar onto the field beside of him. Finally, a silver dragon materialized onto the field beside of the three.

"One last thing." Illidan coldly said. "Whenever Chaos Demon God's effect is activated, all monsters on the field are forced into attack mode."

Beelzebub's eyes widened greatly when suddenly three of his monsters stood up from their kneeling positions. Glancing from monster to monster, he looked in confusion, and then in fear.

Quietly, he mumbled "I see…"

"Yes, you do." Illidan darkly chuckled. "This is your end Beelzebub. The foolishness you have committed will not go unpunished. This is your last stand. Have any words you wish to say to me before I end your pathetic life?"

Closing his eyes for a moment, Beelzebub finally reopened them and muttered "I would never have guessed you'd allow the darkness to take you. To willingly sink into it, you must truly wish to save those that you care about. I did, long ago, but if you're anything like me, you will find out, that eventually, the darkness will erase everything that you wished to protect. I only wish I could enjoy watching you lose all that you care about."

"You talk too much." Illidan remarked. "But I'll shut you up. Dark Magician of Chaos, reduce his so called proof of love into nothingness with Chaos Scepter Blast!"

Weakly nodding, the mage pointed his staff at the weaker female purple creature. She meekly looked towards him, with a look of sadness. Ignoring it, the mage fired a blast of black magical energy at the creature, making it hiss out in pain before exploding, leaving nothing but smoke behind.

"Unfortunately for your Mutant Kozaky, he loses 500 points, but gains none either since your cat went to the removed from play pile due to my mage's effect (4300 – 500 3800/4200 – 500 3700)." Illidan smugly remarked. "And now, cut his pathetic mutant down with Chaos Incineration my mighty Chaos Demon God!"

Letting out a thunderous roar, the creature reared up on two legs and slammed it's front feet into the ground while slamming the bottom have of it's lance as well. With no warning, lava shot up from the ground underneath of the large odd looking purple creature, which howled in pain before vanishing completely, leaving silence behind.

"I'm far from done. Black Luster Soldier, cut down his two lizards using your special ability! Chaos Slash!"

Glancing at his master and then back at the black dragon and black armored mage, the warrior slightly nodded and rushed forward with his sword out to the side. In a flash, he vanished, only to reappear behind the two lizard creatures in a kneeling stance and his sword held out to his right side and his shield to his left. The creatures soon gasped out in shock as they each had marks across their chests. Each fell over, cut entirely in half before shattering into pixels.

"Chaos Emperor Dragon, rid us of that annoying purple cat with Chaos Blaster!"

Softly growling with hesitation, the black dragon opened it's jaws and spat out a blast of black flames. The blast struck the purple cat creature, making it hiss out before burning away into nothingness and leaving a coughing Beelzebub behind.

"I saved the best for last." Illidan darkly commented with a sinister chuckle. "Horus, take your revenge on Beelzebub and end this duel! Hit him with Darkness Flames!"

Letting out an ear shattering roar, the dragon opened it's silver jaws and shot a stream of black searing flames at Beelzebub. Beelzebub's eyes widened greatly, but he stood in his spot, frozen in fear. The flames enveloped him completely, while his scream of anguish and pain echoed throughout the area.

Illidan only smirked at this while the flames continued to eat away at his body. After a few more torturous moments, the flames receded, revealing a burnt up corpse of Beelzebub. He was alive, but barely, with many burns on his body. His hair was gone, along with most of his clothing.

"And now, be gone to the Shadows." Illidan commanded while Beelzebub began to vanish.

Coughing roughly, Beelzebub muttered "I may have failed, but my Master Lucifer will still win. Just wait…"

Upon his final words being whispered, Beelzebub vanished, leaving nothing behind but his cloak. Illidan's Duel Disk powered down, sending away all the monsters on his field, but three of the monsters reappeared in translucent forms.

"Master Illidan, what happened?" the mage asked with worry on his face.

Not answering, Illidan walked over to the cloak and picked it up. He wordlessly threw it over himself, saying "Lucifer, eh? Well, I'll make sure when I find him to let him know his friend is gone."

"Master Illidan..." the mage began again, only to be stopped by Illidan throwing a hard glare at him.

"Quiet servant!" Illidan ordered sternly.

Gasping in shock, the mage began to say something, only to have the black armored warrior stop him with a slow shaking head. Quietly, he asked "Master, please, tell us what has happened."

"Did I ask for you to speak?" Illidan coldly asked.

Sighing, the warrior quieted. "I thought as much. Be quiet from now on, all three of you. I walk a new path, one in which I will stop this evil. The darkness within me shall destroy this so called Lucifer."

The three creatures glanced from one another and slowly vanished one by one from Illidan's sight. Sneering, Illidan coldly said "Lucifer, I will find you. Mark my words, the sway you have over this world will end soon, and nothing shall get in my way, be it friend or foe."

--

In a large set of rock like towers, Haou stood at a window, looking out at the barren world that he called home. "This world will be mine once more, soon enough." he declared aloud.

Hearing something, he glanced over his shoulder to find one of his loyal fiend monsters bowing deeply to him on one knee. The creature wore a purple suit and white gloves, with a purple hat that had a black strip on it. His skin was orange, his eyes green, and hair was blonde.

"What is it? I asked to not be disturbed." Haou stated.

Cowering, the creature weakly replied "I realize that my lord, but I have news of the Fallen Angels that was just reported."

Raising an eyebrow, Haou asked "What news is that, Witty Phantom?"

"News that one of them lost a battle, my lord." Witty Phantom replied. Receiving a nod to rise, the fiend stood up and said "It appears the one known as Beelzebub battled with a human that led the group of humans from that other dimension to this world. And apparently, the battle was a rather harsh one, for all traces of Beelzebub were gone."

"I see…" Haou murmured. "The human, did he have long brown hair and brown eyes?"

"He did have long brown hair, my lord." the fiend commented slowly. "But, the rest of the report was sketchy, to say the least. The fiend that witnessed the battle only saw the end of it. He said that the ending was horrific for Beelzebub, that the human that did this was very sinister and crushed Beelzebub with a silver dragon that shot out a stream of dark flames. Also, the fiend said that the human was using the legendary Chaos monsters that have long since been thought in hiding or extinct."

Smirking, Haou calmly said "I see. Bring me the fiend that saw the fight."

Bowing deeply, the orange skinned fiend replied "Yes my master."

Alone once more, Haou glanced out the window towards the east. "Hmm, perhaps it was Illidan, but I can't be certain. Illidan Stormrage, from what I saw of him, never left a battle like that. No, something is different, perhaps."

The sound of footsteps soon filled the air, making Haou turn once more towards the incoming fiends. The new fiend, led by the orange skinned fiend, was a blue muscular creature, with a single eye on the top of his head. He was shaking quite a bit, seemingly nervous to be in Haou's presence, which Haou had instilled into all of his troops.

Instantly, the two fiends fell into a kneeling position, making Haou finally motion for them to stand. Staring at each with his golden eyes, Haou asked "You, Hiro's Shadow Scout, you saw the end of the battle?"

"Yes my lord…" the blue fiend mumbled while looking downwards.

"Tell me, what did the human that won look like." Haou commanded.

Pausing for a moment, the blue fiend finally said "He had long brown hair, my lord, and wore a black shirt with a red dragon imprint on it, and blue pants."

"What color were his eyes?" Haou asked with a touch of impatience.

Shaking with even more fear than before, the fiend slowly muttered "His eyes… his eyes were… they were devil like eyes my lord! They were pure red, full of evil and malice!"

Frowning, Haou rolled the words around in his mind for a moment before saying "You said you saw the legendary Chaos monsters. What did they look like?"

"One was a blue skinned mage wearing black armor, another was a warrior in black armor with gold trim, and finally a black dragon. But there was another creature, a more demonic creature, that was spoke of in legends as one of the more powerful of the Chaos creatures." the blue fiend hurriedly said.

"This demonic creature," Haou began, "what did it look like?"

Closing his eye tightly, the blue fiend quickly said "Please Supreme King, don't make me think of it! It was a brute of a creature, and I never wish to see it again. Just looking at it sent shivers down my spine!"

Pondering on the fiend's words, Haou said "Very well then, you may go. Witty Phantom."

"Yes my lord?" the orange skinned fiend asked inquisitively.

Turning around, Haou said "Tell my commanders and my army to prepare to move out soon. We will hunt down this human and take all of his power away."

Slightly excited, the orange skinned fiend replied "Yes master, it shall be done!"

Both fiends quickly left Haou alone while he glanced out his window once more with an evil smirk on his face. "So Illidan, you gave into the darkness. The question now is, will your power be a good challenge, or not."
