Disclaimer: Yo I don't anything MFB :p
Shadow, Bry, and Geno trudged through the muddy English landscape. Bry cursed the country for being so damp, wet, and humid.
Shadow looked at her molting wings. She picked off the loose feathers with a wrinkled nose. Geno looked around, using her staff as her eyes. Her friends had kept it in case she ever found a way out of Hell. Too bad she got it back at a cost.
Bry misses Miyako. She kicked at rocks in anger and her blue dragon wings quivered with anger. How could she have stood back like an idiot? She could have done something! Who knows what that demon has done to her. Probably hurt her...or worse. She decided not to think about it. It gives her a bad taste in her mouth.
They continues to march through the landscape. Shadow looked around her. There are a few demons nearby. She can't gauge their power from their position. However, after seeing her fellow archangels' deaths, she is positive they are being stalked as well. Then again, she has had no visions from The Reaper foreseeing her death, so that's a good sign. She's not dying yet. She has no plans to anyway.
Shadow's thoughts wandered over to Masaru. He beat Hope. He truly is powerful. Its a good thing she's taught Sierra so well. The young angel wouldn't have stood a chance. Sadly, of course, but true. The way Masaru transformed the into his true form...he seemed so possessive it was scary. But of what? Miyako? That's ridiculous. Demons can't attach themselves to an angel.
Unless cursed by Lucifer
Shadow mentally cursed. Lucifer cursed Masaru to fall in love with an angel. She sighed. This means Miyako will eventually have to kill him. But that would pose a serious problem if Miyako has fallen in love with Masaru. Any regular demon would fall for Masaru after seeing that demonstration of power, but thankfully, Miyako hasn't fallen and is still a loyal angel.
After all, Miyako serves Heaven, not Masaru.
As they walked, Geno examined Bry. The dragon hybrid is looking very alert tonight, much more than usual. Her ears are slightly flattened against her head and her eyes are narrow, flitting to every dark shadow, searching out possible threats. Bry sighed.
"When are we going to get there?" she asked impatiently.
Shadow shrugged. "We should be there soon. Be patient, Assassin. Don't add onto my stress."
"You are stressing?" asked Bry in anger. "I just lost my best friend! To a demon!"
"And I just lost both of my friends completely. And guess what? One was my sister. The other was as close to a sister as ever. I saw they were going to die and couldn't to anything about it. If you think you're stressed, then you're an idiot." Shadow kept walking after she had stopped to tongue lash Bry. Bry stood in the same place in shock. Geno looked at her through her staff.
"She's right, you know. She also is a General. She thinks those deaths are on her." She skipped ahead and Bry followed, grumbling under her breath.
They continued walking across a great grass plain. Shadow felt a pang. She growled. They're here already?
"Angels...be ready. They're here."
"I felt it too," said Geno, ready for battle. Bry tensed her wings, ready to take off when necessary.
Shadow's eye narrowed. "Go!"
The ran full sprint. Shadow's wings extended. Bry got the message. The dragon moved so that she's grabbing Geno's waist from the behind. She extended her wings to their full wing span. With one powerful pump, Shadow propelled herself into the air, Bry following and Geno screaming.
"This is not fun!" screamed Geno.
Shadow wobbled midair. She put her hands on her mouth. She doesn't like heights. At all. She feels sick. She swallowed the rising vomit. No. There is no privilege. She has to fight through this. Shadow pumped her wings harder. Her wings are sore already. Shadow cursed. She was so busy training Bry how to fly better she didn't pay attention to herself. This is why she only trains so many new archangels every other century.
Soon enough, the portal came into view. The white beacon of light inspired the angels with hope. There was suddenly a comet of fire that knocked the angels out of the sky. They landed and created craters. Bry growled and lifted herself up. Her nose twitched. Her skin became scaly like a dragon's and her nails extended to claws. She crouched at the ready. Shadow was already up with her twin sabers. Geno lifted herself, surrounded in a golden light with her golden staff held in front of her.
Blaze and Xorn slowly walked towards them.
The hairs on the back of Bry's neck immediately bristled. She growled, her sharp eyes becoming dragon-like. Xorn's eyes regarded her as well. Blaze watched Shadow and Geno.
"Well, isn't this a good match?" she said with a purr. Xorn nodded.
"The one with wings is mine," he said blankly.
"Which one? The dark one or the tan one?"
"The Caucasian."
"Oh. You can have her. These two will be relatively easy."
Xorn eyed her through the corner of his eyes. "Are you sure? That's Shadow Nox. She's a General of Heaven and was close to The Reaper's power once."
Blaze scoffed. "Yeah. Once. It doesn't matter to me. I have The Reaper on my side. I have an advantage in this battle. The dark one will be no problem."
Shadow growled. She gets it. "I see. You made a deal with The Reaper."
Blaze's expression hardened. "What makes you think that?"
"You stink of her," said Shadow with distaste. "I would know if someone made a deal with The Reaper just by looking."
"Well, took you a while didn't it?" said Blaze, leaning on one hip. Her eyes narrowed. "You can get her, Xorn. Just leave a bit for me."
Xorn smiled. "Finally."
He roared and tackled Bry. They rolled over the floor clawing, scratching, and biting at each other. Geno stepped back while Shadow burst forward for an attack. They went over a battle plan. It originally included Nightmare rather than Xorn, but since both the demons can transform, it really makes no difference. Geno would step back and use her magic to support her fellow angels, intervening in the battle only if desperately needed. Shadow said she would fight Blaze. She had also said that she saw no visions of anyone dying, so they can fight the battle with no worries, no matter how bad it gets. Geno guesses that that's an advantage to having someone connected to The Reaper on their side.
Geno didn't get the special training from Shadow, but on the way, she received a few tips, such as don't heal one of them all the way. It would quickly use up her magical power. Also, since she's part basilisk, she should get a small bit of power from a full moon, which thankfully, they have tonight. That should regenerate her mana so that she could continue healing. She should also conserve her physical strength by, again, intervening only when necessary.
And the plan seems to be working.
Meanwhile, Bry and Xorn wrestled. Bry growled and bit down on Xorn's left arm, which seems a little more muscular than she remembers. Xorn growled in pain and his fangs lengthened. He bent down to bite at Bry, but Bry was quick. She flipped them so that she was on top of Xorn and punching him repeatedly in the fist, her knuckles surrounded in blue scales. Her claws grew out and she slashed at Xorn across his face. Xorn teetered, throwing her off balance to only swipe at the dirt, and flipped them over. Bry's muscular wings braced her up so that she was able to push Xorn off of her. She crouched on all fours, prowling around Xorn like a rabid animal. She sniffed.
"Dragon?" she muttered.
Xorn nodded. He sniffed. "You too?"
Bry nodded. She then smirked. "This is going to be interesting."
Back over to Shadow and Blaze's battle, Blaze slashed with her katana and Shadow blocked it with one saber. She lunged forward and twirled the other saber around, aiming to cut off Blaze's head. The blade of the double sided sabers merely panged off of the demon's skin.
"I have The Reaper's curse," growled Blaze, cutting a slash across Shadow's calve.
Shadow grunted in pain. Maybe she can't cut this demon down, but she does know a way to beat this curse. She whacked Blaze as hard as she possible could with the flat of the blade on the end of her right saber. Blaze flew back and hit a large rock. She rubbed the back of her head in pain.
Shadow smirked. The trick is to make the bearer of the curse wish they could be killed. That's how the curse can be lifted in the first place. There would be no going back after that. Blaze would not get a second chance.
Shadow charged, already feeling Geno partly healing her calve. She whirled her sabers around her, cutting up the ground around her. Blaze dodged and slashed up with her katana, aiming for Shadow's abdomen. Shadow flicked the end of her saber up, hitting Blaze square in the jaw and blacking her katana. Blaze stumbled back. Is Shadow purposefully abusing her? That's messed up.
Bry is hitting Xorn in the face with her wings. Pressing his neck with her foot, holding him against a large rock, she beat his face with her wings. She then whirled around, grabbed him by the jaw with both hands, and pumped her wings hard, shooting up into the air. She threw him towards the ground and zoomed after him, her skin turning to scales. Xorn landed with a grunt, and Bry mounted herself on top of him. She partly opened her mouth, the back of her throat lighting up orange and releasing heat. Xorn's eyes widened. She's going to breathe fire on his face! Oh, no. That's not going to happen!
He pushed her on her back and climbed on top, preparing to breathe ice on her. Bry smirked. She blew snow right in his face. He stumbled back, wiping at his blinded eyes. He glared at Bry, who smirks proudly. This is obviously going to last a long time. Might as well get it over with. His skin started to boil. Bry's eyes widened. Rain started to fall.
His skin took on an icy blue hue and scaly texture as it bubbled. The he-demon's teeth grew, and bony knobs ripped through the back of his shirt on his shoulder blades. His nails turned black, and his hands grew disproportionate to his body, and it, too, began to grow and lengthen. Black horns grew from the crown of his head, and his blonde hair grew long and shaggy with streaks of light blue. His snout lengthened, and his clothes ripped off his now massive form. A tail sprouted, plated in silver and a metallic blue armor. Black blades sprouted from the tip of his tail. Blue wings burst from his back. His neck elongated. Black spines sprouted down the back of his neck to the tip of his tail. He crashed down on all fours.
Bry growled. So he can turn into a dragon too?
She smirked. Might as well.
Her skin churned, and Dragon Xorn looked surprised. Bry's smirk grew. Her wings began to grow, and her teeth became long and jagged. Her skin boiled more, slowly taking on a texture like scales. Her skin became a tinted blue shade, which slowly began to grow darker. Her nails transformed into long, sharp black talons. Her ears pointed and grew to be a foot long. Her hair grew. Her skin is completely made up of scales now, a dark shade of blue. Her size increased, causing her clothes to rip off and show off her scaled body. Her neck elongated, her hair running down it like a spine. Black horns sprouted from the crown of her head, and her snout stretched. A scaly tail sprouted from her buttocks and a sharp, pointed blade formed at the end. Her body grew, taking on the form of a great lizard.
Dragon Bry pounded the ground with her trunk-like legs. She widened her huge wings to their full length, a gesture of challenge to the slightly larger dragon. Dragon Xorn roared in response, opening his wings all the way.
This caught the attention of Blaze, Geno, and Shadow, who all turned around to view the battle.
Dragon muscle rippled under scales as the two dragons charged each other in the rain. Shadow's eye widened. Two dragons fighting hasn't happened in millennia. The dragons rammed into each other, trying to push the other down. Dragon Bry withdrew and hit Dragon Xorn's face with her foot. She opened her jaw and clamped down on Dragon Xorn's right flank. Dragon Xorn roared in outrage. His tail whipped Dragon Bry in the face. The female dragon released and stepped back, wings open. Rain water slid down the dragon's bodies and lightning thundered. There is a scar over Dragon Bry's left eye now. Geno is sure it will still be there when the angel reverts back to her normal form.
Dragon Bry stood on her hind legs and took a deep breath. Dragon Xorn did the same. Bright blue light illuminated the back of his throat and Dragon Bry's jaw started to drip fire before it extinguished in a puddle. They released their breathes at each other. Geno cowered from the brilliance. Glowing ice shot at Dragon Bry, while fire licked and roared from her own maw.
Dragon Bry performed a final push, spurting more fire and overwhelming Dragon Xorn. Dragon Xorn's right side of the face got burned. He roared and cowered back. He glared at Dragon Bry, who is obviously smirking in victory. Dragon Xorn roared again and charged Dragon Bry, ramming his head in Dragon Bry's left side. Dragon Bry internally winced. From the inside of her mind, she's watching the battle through two mirrors, connected to a small hollow cave by pink fleshy elastic. Her eyes narrowed. Blood leaked from her side as well as the cut over her eye. She growled. She's not losing!
She suddenly felt somewhat healing. Her bleeding has stopped. She smiled. Geno. Boy, they're lucky to have her.
With a roar, Dragon Bry's pointed tail stabbed Dragon Xorn in the left buttock. He shrieked before bounding away at a safe distance. His wings opened up. Come and get me.
Bry was more than willing to accept his request. Besides, she's winning.
Dragon Bry's wings extended. She pumped them hard and slow at first, but as she gained altitude, she beat them harder and harder. Xorn followed her up.
Shadow watched in awe as the two dragons soared up high into the dark black and grey clouds above them. She immediately turned her attention back to Blaze. Blaze glared at Shadow. She polished her katana with her clothing.
"I think its time to finish this," she said slowly and darkly.
"I agree," said Shadow, standing straight. "I am one of the Lords of the Night. If I die here, Lucida Night will take my place, as her two other siblings have taken the places of the fallen Nights."
"Ugh. More Nights?" groaned Blaze, placing her hand on her forehead. "I swear, this is too hard, killing all of you. Just make it easy for us and stop breeding."
Shadow smirked. "As long as the sky can turn dark, Night will always find a way to reincarnate, even if the angel wasn't originally a Son of Night."
"The Sons of Night..." muttered Blaze. "Miyako's deal."
Shadow smirked. "Yes. That's right. Her name means beautiful night. She was born for it. My sister only saw that."
"It seems Fate has favored Miyako," muttered Blaze.
Shadow shook her head with a smirk. "Nope. Her parents are the only reason why God has given her her powers. After all, her father, Kuro, wrote the scrolls in his blood. She's connected to the scrolls. Her mother was of poison demonic decent, so she has poison. Her mother was also of decent of Nyx."
"Wait, so..." It clicked. "She's got more than just poison."
Shadow nodded. "That's right. She just has to accept it. Then, she will be a Son of Night. Its where she belongs. I wanted to teach her how to use her powers but Sakura took her away before I could. Frieda is The Bearer and the last decedent of King Arthur. Little does she know she is related to Alex Lux and Sol. That's why she has such a strong connection to Holy Flames. Ninel is one of the last ice nymphs. She's related to Höðr, the archangel of the winter. That's who her grandfather is."
Blaze's eyes widened. "They're all related to archangels."
Shadow nodded again. "Indeed. Alice and Sierra are distantly related. They're common ancestors are Eir, the archangel of healing, Ēostre, the archangel of spring, and Rán, the archangel of the sea."
Blaze's eyes widened. "What about Bry and Geno?"
Shadow crossed her arms. "Bry is related to Magni, the archangel of strength, Sif, archangel of the harvest, Thor, archangel of Thunder, who are Magni's parents, and Týr, archangel of war. Geno is related to Vör, the archangel of wisdom, Máni, archangel of the moon, Sol, archangel of the sun, and like Sierra and Alice, related to Eir."
Geno is rather surprised and proud of herself. She is the descendant of archangels! And three of them!
Blaze shook. "Well...who was I related to?"
Shadow sighed. "Sol and Dagur, archangel of day, as well as Delling, archangel of dawn. Delling is Dagur's son. Nótt is...I mean was Dagur's mother. You could have been a Son of Night. Once you started killing all those people, they disowned you."
A few tears fell down her cheek and mingled with the rain water. She screamed and burst forward suddenly, stabbing Shadow through her left side. It missed her main internal organs, thankfully. Shadow grunted and coughed. Geno covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes widened. Wait, get a hold of yourself, Geno! You have to help!
She formed a tube with her hands over her mouth and said, "Mist!"
Dark green mist billowed out from her throat and through her hands, reaching for Blaze. Tendrils climbed up her body and entered through her eyes. She screamed and was turned to stone. Shadow shouted as she pulled herself off of Blaze's now steel katana. She fell to the ground and clutched the wound. Geno immediately healed part of it. Shadow sighed. Even a little relief is a huge relief.
There was a pair of inhuman, demon, or angel roars, and two huge dragons came crashing down through the clouds. Dragon Bry was on top, pushing Dragon Xorn towards the ground, wings tucked close to her side for speed. Her jaw is clamped around Dragon Xorn's and his claws are imbedded in her side. Her tail pierces his right flank.
Dragon Bry pushed him all the way to the surface of Earth. The impact caused a huge explosion, blowing mud and loose dirt everywhere. Shadow and Geno became covered in the substance. The rain started peeling some of the mud away. They ran over to the biggest crater either of them have ever seen. Bry stood up, in her usual form, above Xorn, who is knocked out and is bleeding everywhere. She breathed heavily. Bry looked up at her friends.
"Yo, did any of you bring spare clothes? I kinda ripped mine."
Shadow and Geno turned away as Shadow created a new pair of clothes from shadow. Bry hiked up dressed in black cargo shorts, a black sleeveless turtle neck, a blue scarf, and black combat boots along with black wrist length fingerless gloves. She has a scar over her left eye and on the on the top of the middle of her nose. (I shall do the concept art!...After Masaru!) She looked at her outfit.
"You have taste."
"You beat him," said Geno in awe.
Bry shrugged. "I was really hard. He's wicked skilled, man. No joke."
"We believe you," said Shadow.
After Bry and Xorn flew into the sky...
Bry was just thinking about how much she hates Slayer's bold underlined redundant lines.
Dragon Xorn burst forward with speed and knocked into Dragon Bry. Dragon Bry grunted and wiped around, smacking Dragon Xorn in the face with her monstrous claws. Dragon Xorn whacked her head with his. She pumped her wings, drawing back and ramming into Dragon Xorn's stomach, knocking him back. He whirled around and whipped her across the face with his tail. A scar appeared over the middle of her nose.
Dragon Bry roared and lunged, biting down on Dragon Xorn's neck. She got a bad grip and was easily knocked away. Dragon Xorn bit down on her front right leg. Dragon Bry kicked him in his already sensitive stomach. He reared and distanced himself. The great beats circled each other, studying the others movements. Dragon Bry took a quick breath and shot a large ball of fire at Dragon Xorn, who iced the attack and flew in for a physical one of his own. Bry lowered her head, ready to ram him back. She propelled herself forward the four strong beats of her powerful wings. They met each other in the middle, water raining down from them, flesh rippling from the impact.
They pushed against each other. Bry has to figure something out. Out of all the stories and books about dragons she's read, she cannot remember a technique any of them used to get out of this situation. Wait, yes, she can!
Dragon Bry tossed her head up with so much force, it brought Dragon Xorn's head up as well. She beat her wings hard, rising her slightly above Dragon Xorn and then brought her head down on his. It knocked him so hard Dragon Xorn was put into a daze. Dragon Bry beat her wings and rose more into the atmosphere. She then tilted down and ran straight into Dragon Xorn, biting down on his neck hard. He used his claws and grabbed onto her side. She stabbed him in the side with her tail.
They crashed down, the ground racing toward them impossibly fast.
They impacted on the ground, feelings immense pain. They transformed into their normal forms and wrestled with each other, Bry finally gaining ground and punching him across the face as hard as she possibly could, knocking him out cold.
Now, she's standing before Shadow and Geno, telling them about the entire experience.
Bry's eyes widened. A blazing ball of fire is shooting towards them. She pushed Shadow and Geno out of the way and took a deep breath. She was surprised when the fire sped up and was sucked into her mouth. She coughed and wheezed, pounding on her chest to clear it up. They looked up and saw Blaze, now unfrozen, panting heavily with her hand extended.
"I'm going to kill you all!"
