"Glendon, you did well."

Glendon opened his eyes and struggled slightly at the iron like grip on his right wrist. "Did what well?" He asked.

"You have evolved well."

"Evolved into nothingness as I had to be."

A chuckle escaped Legato's lips as he released his grip on Glendon's wrist. "Nothingness as you had to be is right. We are all of nothing in this world, but one person could stop it all..and that is Nicole. You could have killed her right then and there along with Vash. Why didn't you?" He inquired.

Glendon ignored Legato and turned around, looking at his physical appearence reflected from the glass. Legato bared his teeth and grabbed Glendon's shoulder, jerking him around to face him. "Answer me!" He bellowed.

A power sent Legato back into the opposite wall. Glendon's hair floated and waved with the power he had emitted. "I could kill you easily also, Legato. I do not need to answer your childish questions of 'why'. All I need to do is destroy this world, right? To make it a vortex of darkness and hate, of agony and fury. Happiness is but a mere dream to those who cannot accept the darkness, the hate and the sorrow I will flood through this pathetic world known as reality and Earth," he said with a sneer.

His body glowed as a power began to grow within him. Electric charges jolted from his hands and shattered the windows. Outside the wind howled and moaned with furious cries as it picked up velocity. Legato got to his feet and wiped the line of blood from his chin. "You do not want to destroy the world, all you want to do and have to do is recreate it to a world full of vampires and human slaves," he said.

Glendon's eyes glowed darkly as he glared at Legato. Legato's face became constricted in pain as he was lifted off his feet. "You are of no use to me, Legato."

Legato's limbs began to grind in inhuman ways and he cried out in agony. Blood poured from his gaping mouth and dropped to the ground, pooling beneath him as Glendon unleashed his power.

"Vash....look out the window," I said with my hand to my mouth.

The trees were uprooted and began to whip past the house. The mansion began to creek and whine under the power of the wind. Vash put his arms around me and closed his eyes. "Glen....," was all he could say.

I felt the fury rise within me. Hatred towards Legato for making Glendon this way, making Glendon unleash such power on the world. "I'm going to find him,"I said.

"Then I'm going with you, Nicole. You need all the help you can get."

I nodded and closed my eyes. Locating Glendon's intense power and vanishing in a cloud of dust.

"Let go!" Legato growled as he struggled.

"I like seeing you cry out in pain...maybe I'll keep you around for a toy of blood when I get bored," Glendon cackled.

Legato dropped to the ground holding his throat and coughing up blood. Glendon reared around just as Vash appeared. "You have to-"

Vash was sent spiraling out the window where glass shards pierced his body. He grabbed the window sill but objects that were being carried by the wind knocked into him and left presents on his body. "How did you find me?!" Glendon inquired.

"Only a mother knows what her son feels," I said.

Glendon turned to me, his dark and hate filled eyes glowing with unimaginable power. "You are just a mere vampire with mortal powers. You cannot stop me."

I closed my eyes and Jesse's form appeared, flowing into me and boosting my power. The wings speared out and spread wide. I opened my eyes and held the holy ward sword in my right hand. "I will stop you, even when I do not. I love you, Glen. Don't make me do this."

"Love is but a technicality that weaklings use to butter up the competition. I have news for you, dear mother, it won't work on me and doesn't affect me."

He brought his right hand up and I could feel a strong pull on my arms. I resisted the power but it lifted me an inch off the floor. "Listen to me! You have got to snap out of this, Glen!" Vash yelled as he held onto the window sill for dear life.

"Shut the hell up!" Glendon snarled and flicked his left wrist.

Vash's eyes glowed slightly and he stared straight into mine. "N-nicole," he stammered.

His whole body shattered and the remains were carried away with the wind. Horror and sorrow flowed through my body like a poison and I screamed in rage. "How can you do that to your own father!!!???"

"Father? What was he but a mere carrier of what I needed....I used every ounce of you and Vash for my own misguided destiny."

A smug expression plastered itself on his handsome face and I felt the tears roll down my cheeks. A shard of glass sliced through my cheek. "Glen..."

"You shouldn't waste your energy by talking, mother dearest."

"One last thing before you destroy the world...making it some alien planet suited to you for your own 'misguided' destiny. I have loved you ever since Legato tore you away from me....this is not you. I will not believe this is you even when I die by your own two hands. I held you in my arms since day one...and..is this how you want to repay me? Killing the one person who had taken...no, the two people who had shown you unrequainted love and used every ounce of energy to make you happy, to make sure you had some place to sleep and held you in our arms for all those twelve years. You've grown into a handsome young man, even when it was dark magic which changed you."

"Keep your idiotic motherly bullshit to yourself, I don't need to hear it. Now, please leave your blood here so my minions can piss in it," Glendon sneered.

I felt my body beginning to be ripped apart by this intense power. Blood slid down my cheeks and I cried out in agony before he made a side swipe diagonal across his body. Everything became black and nothingness.

Glendon watched Nicole's blood pool to the floor, a smirk playing across his pink lips. "The only thing left to do is destroy and recreate," he muttered and turned back to the window.

His eyes blanked and he raised his arms up. Power shot through the palms of his hands and scattered on the plains of the world. Destroying houses and other buildings which stood in the way. Lines cracked onto the Earth's surface, creating a crevice to the Underworld. Demons and vampires which had been locked away for eons and centuries rose from Hell and stretched. Chris opened his eyes and looked out towards the direction Glendon stood. "He must be stopped....but by whom when he killed his own mother and father?" He questioned himself.

-- To Be Continued. -- Woooooo....I know it looks reeeeeaalll short, but I want to write chapter 11. ^___^; I hope you liked this, and sorry that Nicole and Vash died. But it makes it all the better.
