Chapter 3 – First Strike
-Bar-
The Stranger stands up and starts to tell his story again. The crowd is rooted to their seats not wanting to move in order to hear his story.
-Story-
Serenity pulls herself from her memories and looks into the mirror. Her wing is still the color of blood from those men she killed. Looking at her ruined dress she slowly walks to her room to change into a new dress. The mirror in her bedroom is a full length one. As she takes off her dress she looks at herself and smiles at her appearances. Her body being covered in bandages not much is noticeable. Her body is slender and lithe although there is a layer of muscle under her skin. Her bust and hips are proportionate for her height and 5'7" and her blue hair was of short, cropped nature but neatly kept. As she looks in the mirror and changes into a new dress she remembers how the other male angels used to ask her out. She smiles as she remembers how often Titon would then randomly appear and glare at them with those enigmatic eyes of his.
As Serenity was staring at the mirror an alarm bell was ringing. She quickly gathered her wits and ran out the door of her house. As she comes outside she notices Angels racing everywhere. Various high level Seraphim have gathered their weapons and are running in one direction and several Archangels are trying to evacuate other angels from the area. She feels something is wrong and quickly runs off towards the commotion.
As she gets closer to the noise she can tell that several demons of Hell had invaded the heavens. It looked like a Horned Demon were leading several Pit Fiends. From her position she could only one Angel was holding them back and killing them. Serenity, however, was to far away to see that it was Titon.
In the midst of battle Titon was moving fast. A Pit Fiend tries to whip him. Titon quickly grabs the whips, pulls the demon close, and slashes him up the middle with his chain sickle. He quickly whirls around and throws the spiked ball at another pit fiend, which quickly gets impaled. As his back is turned to the Horned Demon it charges Titon and literally rips off one of Titons Arms. Titon screams in pain and falls to his knees.
Serenity hers his scream and runs at the horned demon realizing whom the unidentifiable Angel is. As she gets near the Horned Demon she pulls out 2 daggers and slashes him. One doing a deep vertical slash into the demons back, the other dagger doing a lateral slash on top of the first cut. She then flip kicks the Horned Demon and he falls over his spine popping out of his back splashing blood everywhere. Serenity quickly puts her daggers away and runs to Titon. The remaining demons are quickly retreating upon seeing their leader killed so savagely.
-Bar-
The Audience is imagining the horror of what its like to fight demons. The Stranger is standing there with a look of shear pain on his face. He realizes he shouldn't have told the story for the pain it cause but he goes back to the story anyways.
-Story-
Titon is grasping the hole in his arm and pumping it full of healing magic. Serenity, seeing what the Horned Demon did to him, begins to cry as she hugs him. Titon slowly passes out in her arms. Serenity noticing him becoming heavier quickly heads back to Mobius' shop realizing he's the only who can and will help Titon.
Serenity quickly pounds on his door hoping that the strange man is home.
"I'm coming, I'm coming keep your dress on Lass." Mobius quickly opens the door. "Hurry and get in here Lass. Put him on the table and I'll begin my work pronto."
Serenity does as she is told wondering how the man knows what has transpired. She looks at Titon, who is no longer bleeding and starts crying fearing his loss. Why did they have to attack him? Once her wings had sprouted he was the only guy who would even talked to her! Serenity slowly cries herself to sleep.
Mobius looks at her and at Titon while he works on a new arm. "Why do they torture themselves like this. It's obvious to everyone but them how they feel." He sighs to himself and starts attaching the new arm. He smiles to himself. Two cybernetic Blood Angels. That's going to be a first for heaven. He attaches the arm to Titon and disappears from the room knowing that when they awake that they'll need some time alone.
-Bar-
The Audience looks at The Stranger as though he's some sort of prophet or professional storyteller. For how could any one but a professional storyteller think of such a story. The Stranger smiles, takes a sip of water, and continues telling his tale.
-Story-
Titon slowly awakens to a feeling of pain and discomfort from his left arm. Upon moving his arm he realizes that it's not the same. He opens his eyes and sees that he's lying down in Mobius' shop. Lifting his left arm he can tell that it's no longer normal. In fact it's obviously cybernetic. He sits up slowly flexing the mechanical arm and looks over at Serenity who is sleeping quietly in a chair facing the table.
Titon gets up and walks over to her. He gently places a hand on her forehead then picks up a blanket and covers her gently before heading for the back room to talk to Mobius. As he enters Mobius is bent over a book working numbers in his head.
"I still don't see why you decided to live in this little shack brother. After all with the training you received in heaven you could've been much greater." Titon says coldly to Mobius who turns around to face him. Mobius stands up and looks at Titon then walks closer.
"Easy it was always easier for me to refuse our heritage then you. Your to ignorant for your own good Titon." Mobius walks over to one of the sets shelves and pulls down a thick book. "So how are mom and dad doing?"
"Their fine, however, they do miss you. Although I don't see why they could miss a failure like you." Titon turns to the door to go back into the waiting room.
"Easy they understand free choice my brother. You, on the other hand, do not." Mobius sits back down at the desk and continues to work on his ledgers. "However, it's good to see you again."
"Likewise." Upon saying that, Titon goes back into the workroom. He sits down on the couch, looking at Serenity sleeping quietly in a chair. As he looks at her it finally dawns onto him that he loves her. He never thought that he could possible love her of all people.
Serenity slowly wakes up and notices Titon looking at her. Being extremely self-conscious she blushes and cast her eyes down making using one hand to arrange her dress properly. "Titon, uhm... what are you looking at."
"You." He says as if it's the only logical thing to look at.
Serenity blushes more and starts to fidget with the blanket. Why would he be looking at her? I mean they were friends and all, but how could he possibly be looking at her. She looks up and notices that his arms is now metallic just like her wing is, although with out the sheen of red.
Titon suddenly gets up and walks over to her and bends so they are looking into each other's eyes. "I just realized that I love you Serenity." As Titon says this Serenity becomes speechless. It was like a dream come true for her. She had been hoping for eons that he loved her and now her dream was coming true right before her eyes.
Titon then gently reached out a hand and placed on her face. Her skin so amazingly soft compared to that of her wings. As Titon gently ran his hand across her face, Serenity slowly brought a hand up and touched the outside of his hand.
"I'm sorry it took me so long to understand my feelings for you." Titon begins to say quietly as if the moment might be shattered should he speak to loud.
Serenity slowly stretches her hand out and places a single finger on his lips to hush him. As she does this, Serenity slowly stands up and steps into his embrace. They stand there for what seemed liked hours, holding onto each other as if the whole world meant nothing.
Serenity slowly lifts her head up and looks at Titon. After a very brief time, their heads slowly move towards the others. Looking into each others eyes they kiss for the first time. The feelings conveyed in that kiss were everything that the couple had felt for each for a long time, caring, sympathy, understanding, and also a sense of protection. As the two slowly drew away from the kiss a thin strand of saliva was suspended between the two before it disappeared.
-Bar-
No one is able to see it but a single tear flows down the Strangers face. Such a beauty could not last in a time of war. He looks at the audience hear sobs. Several of the women in the room are crying at how beautiful and romantic at the scene represented in the story.
-Story-
In the back room Mobius is working on his ledgers when he suddenly looks out his window at the moon. "Its about time those two confessed their feelings for each other." After saying that he starts to chuckle to himself and silently goes back to his ledgers.
-A word from the Author-
Okay, So how's my story. I know you all just love this thing. Well anyways I'm getting several questions. So I'm going to answer a few right now. When an Angel dies… I'm not telling it'll ruin part of the plot of this story. Sorry people but I can't say that one. And about me stopping time, I'm the all powerful author I can do anything. Bwahahahaha. Okay this story is both a combination of the Bible and Diablo and being partially set in my own mind. Which answers the question about pride in Angels. Yes Angels do have pride. The Devil (Diablo, Satan, etc.) was in fact an Angel known as Lucifer. However, his pride got the better of him and he challenged God. He lost and was cast out of heaven with his followers and thus is my idea of how the Seven lords of Hell came to be.
Serenity walks into the walk and throws Deth off the computer.
Sorry but Deth is going to bed right now with me so ya all will have to wait for the enxt chapter before you see anymore of him.
With that said she drags me willingly out of the room.
A/N – Okay I couldn't resist not writing another chapter. I know I write more chapters in a short period of time then any one I know. Mostly cuz of Serenity who is right now kissing my neck so I better make this quick or I'm not sure if I can keep my schedule for myself.
