LordK: Its chapter 2, what do you know! Oh, and I promise this is the last
chapter that the angel will remain nameless. Next chapter I will give him a
name.
Disclaimer: I don't own nothing, I don't own nothing! Except the characters that I made up! And the plot, but not the setting. So pretty please do not sue me!

The angel sighed, giving in to the wings that were beyond earthly control, allowing them to bring him nearer and nearer to the ground. He heard a young boy, no more than two pointing to him, and announcing to his mother, "Mommy, look! Up there, look!" the child shouted
"Is there something up there? I don't see anything." His mother replied in a soft tone
"It's a man with wings!" He continued
"There's nothing up there, Lelio." She stated
"But there is, there is!" He insisted
"There is nothing up there!" She exclaimed, in perhaps too harsh a tone, and then sighed to herself, "Hallucinations are not supposed to be part of the 'terrible twos'"
The angel laughed, seeing the child's perseverance in declaring that there was a "man with wings" funny thing is, he was right.

Zidane and Dagger snuck out of the castle, both of them in soldier's uniforms, succeeding in slipping past the witless Knights of Pluto, who had in no means shaped up since the Genome War. They were still as clueless as ever, even if their captain was a war hero.
"You should guard this place better, Queen Garnet. A thief could come and steal you away very easily, you know." Zidane laughed as they effortlessly escaped the notice of the guards.
"Maybe I want a thief to take me." She countered as they walked out of the palace doors.
"You do?" He asked playfully
"Yes, I do."
"Well, then allow me!" He said, sweeping her off her feet. He took off running towards the gates of Alexandria.

The task before him was less than daunting. It was the kind of work one would expect one of the clueless soldiers to perform. But the tasks he preformed, although seemingly pointless, were just penance for his old crimes. And, as he did not deny he did the crimes, now was the moment to do the proverbial time.
"Do I really have to do this?" The angel inquired, looking vaguely towards where he thought Heaven might be. There was no answer, but as his wings refused to spread, he assumed he was stuck with the task before him. With a flick of his wrist he knocked the advancing thugs to the ground. "Are you okay?" he whispered to the young woman who he had just saved, forgetting that his words would sound like nothing but the rustling of wind to her. The young woman, not so much as bothering to question her good fortune, quickly ran past her unseen savior, leaving him with yet another completed task. But he found his sky blue wings still refusing to comply with his request to return to the skies. Clearly there was another task here. He groaned, knowing that every second longer he stayed in Alexandria, the more chance he had of encountering someone that he did not wish to meet.
The angel strolled the streets of Alexandria, not knowing exactly where he was intended to be. He thought briefly about leaving and simply walking until he was out of Alexandria. But no sooner had he decided on that course of action than he heard shouting coming from the city gates.
"Back to work." He sighed

"My charming queen, pleasure to meet you," said a strange intruder to Alexandria, "My name is,"
"Scumbag, we don't care what your name is!" Zidane snarled, interrupting the trespasser, "Just let go of Garnet!"
"My name is Davall. And it is rude to interrupt, Zidane! Oh, and as to your request, sorry, no can do." Said Davall politely, holding the unconscious Garnet in his arms
"How do you know my name?" Zidane asked, " Forget it, Shut up and give me back Garnet before I have to," Zidane warned
"Do what, hit me with your tail?" Davall countered.
A strange wind passed through the crowd, arriving at the city gate and stopping. Of course, the wind was actually the angel, who was suddenly captivated by Princess Garnet. He seemed almost afraid to move.
"Someone give me a weapon!" Zidane ordered. Seemingly from nowhere, a dagger flashed through the air to him, "Thanks."
"You're welcome, Zidane." The angel replied. Zidane shot forward like a rocket, aiming his dagger at Davall's neck.
"You'd have done better with the tail." Davall laughed as he watched Zidane's attack glance off him harmlessly, "Here," he said to one of his men, "take our honored guest back to Tierra. If I'm not on the ship in five minutes take the girl and come back for me. Tierra will tell you what to do."
"Don't you dare take her, or I-I'll..." The angel cried, his voice not even registering to anyone but Zidane.
"NO! I refuse to let you take her!" Zidane called, then lunged again, this time at the man Davall was motioning to hand Dagger to. The man's face gave the impression that he was truly frightened, but once again the attack bounced away, not causing so much as a scratch on the man, even though he appeared to have no armor of any kind on. Looking as though he was surprised that the attack had been ineffective, the man took Dagger, who was still unconscious, and vanished.
"Where did he take her?" The angel demanded of anyone who could hear
"You heard him, back to Tierra! I can handle this guy, go find her!" He shouted back to a voice no one else could hear.
"How did you hear me?" The angel inquired
"GO NOW!" Zidane commanded
"I'm going!" The angel replied, his wings now finally complying with his mind's charge.
"I'll tail you in the airship as soon as I beat this guy." Zidane announced,, and then he turned to Davall and finished, "Which shouldn't take too long."
Davall's eyes grew wide, as he saw the transformation begin. Zidane's eyes began to glow in an unearthly way. His hair suddenly changed from its usual blonde to a strange pinkish color. His whole body was soon engulfed in light
"This is what happens when you mess with Dagger, scumbag." Zidane said, just before the change took complete effect. The glowing and tranced Zidane coursed with power, energy flowing through his veins like water. He muttered some ethereal words and cast a strange spell. In the milliseconds it traveled through the charged air, Davell was completely stunned by fear. He tried at the last second to lesson the force of the blow with Shell, but it was too late. Clutching his chest where the spell had hit, and barely holding on to his last reserves of life, he teleported away.
"Damn, I wanted him to die." Zidane sighed. He too preformed his own form of teleportation (which was actually just really fast running) and dashed off towards the airship hangar.
