A/N: Hip Hip hurray! I'm almost finished! Ok this is a warning
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO VOTE. WE ONLY HAVE TWO MORE CHAPTERS LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Took you long enough to come back," Angel one said coldly as he created another blast.
"I had business to take car of," said Ryo running at Faith full speed with his sword drawn.
Faith dodged the attack but Sage's 'Thunder Bolt Cut' hit her in the back and she went sprawling forward. With Angel One here they seemed to have a chance, even if Faith was a little stronger then all of them combined.
"Armor of the Wildfire! Flare Up Now!" Ryo yelled sending a huge mass of flames towards Faith.
She could easily have dodged it but her eyes went big and she whispered, "Fire…." The large flames engulfed her.
Everyone immediately took advantage over Faith's momentary stillness.
"Thunder Bolt Cut!"
"Iron Rock Crusher!"
"Arrow Shock Wave!"
"Super Wave Smasher!"
These attacks combined, along with Angel one's blast, were aimed strait to the bewildered angel. They swallowed the girl with a light that went so bright that they couldn't see her.
"Is she dead?" Kento asked in the stillness. He was answered as a dozen or so small blasts were hurtling strait at them.
They managed to dodge most of them but one hit Cye, damaging his shoulder.
"You Ok buddy?" Kento called out as he swung his large staff at Faith.
"I'm fine!" Cye said gritting his teeth as he tripped Faith with his trident. Faith quickly recovered and flew up in the sky.
"That's going to be a problem," Sage said as Rowen and Angel One followed her, since no one else could. Faith created a small energy sword along with Angel One. They began to duel madly with an occasional swipe from Rowen.
But without everyone helping him he was losing… badly. Figuring this Angel One swooped lower, Faith following him. They finally got back to ground level and the rest of the Ronins joined in for the attack.
"This is getting old," Faith said bored and she hit Rowen and Cye away with a kick. Ryo slashed Faith with his swords and she shrieked in pain. Quickly she backhanded him away, clutching her wound.
"You… You…" she said her eyes wide in disbelief, "You hurt me… I'm… bleeding!"
"That's right, and there is a lot more of where that came from!" Ryo piped up.
"It's been awhile since you've felt pain, hasn't it?" Angel One said looking at her.
"But… but, I'm perfected!" She screamed.
"How long has it been?" he asked her, "Since the fire hasn't it? You haven't felt pain since that fire…"
"SHUT UP!" she raged suddenly, "I'VE BEEN PERFECTED YOU WORTHLESS SCUM! I AM PERFECT!"
She lashed out inhumanely. She had completely lost her head. The memory of the fire and the memory of the torture she endured was just to much….
"What the…" Cye said as she aimed a punch right toward him. He tried to block it with his trident but only managed to get it snapped two. She continued to beat him like a little rag doll.
"Get off of him!" Kento yelled, "IRON ROCK CRUSHER!"
She dodged the attack and through Cye in its line of fire.
"S*&% no!" Kento said as he saw Cye engulf the attack. He ran to help him but Faith had kicked him hard sending him to the ground. She laughed shrilly, obviously she had gone crazy. She was cut off from an arrow that was shot by Rowen.
"Is this the best you can do?" she asked him laughing.
"No," Rowen said aiming another arrow, "ARROW SHOCK WAVE!" The blast too her off guards and hurtled her away from the beaten Kento.
"You got her!" Sage said happily rejoicing but it was short lived as Faith flew up high, and fast, towards Rowen and began to beat him senseless. Since they were up in the sky, Angel One is the only person that could help, but by the time he reached them Rowen was falling, unconscious.
Her next target was Sage so he got ready in a defensive position. He dodged her first attack but she managed to roundhouse kick in the face. Sage quickly recovered, "THUNDER BOLT CUT!"
She managed to throw a force ball just in time to stop his attack and push him away from her, and break a few bones. She tripped him and pinned him to the ground, and then hit him with punches.
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you," she repeated over and over again growing more insane with each word.
"Leave him alone!" She heard Ryo call out. She paused for a moment, and just stood there as if someone switched off her on button.
"Leave him… alone?" she said questioningly. She raised her face towards Ryo, and there was a gleam of murder in her eyes.
"You… Fire Boy," she said whispering, "Fire…"
Ryo stared at her with fear. He remembered how much she hated fire, was that why she hated him so much?
"You… I will kill," she said unable to make completes sentences, "You… hurt… me!" She screamed insane and full of rage. She powered up as far as she could, Ryo gaped at the intensity.
"I HATE YOU! YOU HURT ME!" She howled as she began to run towards him. Ryo used all him power and agility just to dodge her.
"Get away from him!" Angel One yelled as he punched Faith away. She spiraled into the sky but did a flip in the air to regain her posture. She flew top speed at Ryo again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mia eyes began to water. She was so hopeless, and Faith was winning.
Little Yulie was sobbing hysterically into Mia arms. She averted her eyes from the battle not being able to see her friends taking any more pain.
"Please… someone," She whispered, "I have long since stopped believing miracles. But, just perhaps, someone out there is watching over me. If they're really is someone able to do miracles. Please help my friends."
There was no repose and she began to cry again, her tears sliding down her cheeks, "Please… Rowen, Sage, Ryo, Kento, Cye… Angel One. I care for you all. Please don't die."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rowen was so cold, and tired. He was vaguely aware of the battle going on. He didn't want to try to get up. The pain was so unbearable.
"Get up!" he told himself.
"No," he thought, "Let me sleep. I'm so tired of fighting…"
He hears a small whisper, not his own.
"Rowen please…" he heard Mia whisper.
"Mia…" he tried to say.
"…I care for you…"
He smiled, and then felt himself react. He willed his armor to power up.
"For you Mia, only for you"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sage struggled in the darkness.
"I just can't," he said finally giving up, "I can't do it."
"Sage……"
"Mia?"
"Please…"
"I can't."
"…I care for you…"
Sage eyes grew wide, "Mia… is this your thoughts?"
He felt his armor glow and he grew warm, "Because of you Mia…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ryo's breath grew ragged, his swords felt as if they were to heavy, but he swung them anyway, and missed. Angel One managed to kick her in the stomach but she backhanded him to the ground.
Ryo heard a voice in his mind, but couldn't make out who it was.
"Ryo… I care for you." He managed to hear.
Suddenly his armor grew arms and he felt as if was floating. He saw his friends armor glow and their power shoot out towards him. He was immediately engulfed in mystical flames and when he stepped out…
"What is that?" Faith shrieked.
"Is that the…" Angel One said his eyes wide.
From far away Mia gasped and said, "He created the Armor of Inferno once again!"
