Notes: We find out what Epyon is and what it does to our poor 01… *evil laughter* The end is approaching soon!! I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Just barely…

Thanks to: Empress Yue (monotone, eh? Okies… I feel hurt…); Shadowness (heh… by the time I'm done, you will hate Treize even more.); Katie (great chapter? Yes! I have succeeded as an author!); CSMars (*sweatdrop* Sorry about the odd pairings… I sorta got in my writing daze and didn't know what I was doing…); Adia (erk! I'm working… slowly… ^_~;;;…); Xan Samurai (I have a tail? Oh well… Please spare my bones.); @_@ (yeah, I'm sorry… I'm taking longer this time… About the wings screaming, I was using a form of personification and with the "dwarfing" thing… I'll change it later.); and Cpfeb (*puppy face* I can't promise anything, I'm sorry!!!)

"Wufei, your precious project should be back by now. I gave him a time perimeter and he has ignored it." The Angel-general paced back and forth, occasionally throwing anxious glances at the Mage.

"Just shut up. I'm trying to think…" Wufei snapped finally. They had been standing there for almost a half an hour now and the platinum-haired Angel's incessant warnings had not helped. Soon it would be night and the Beasts would rule. There was no fighting the coming of sundown, he knew.

Suddenly a sharp pain ripped through his head, forcing him to his knees. He heard a distressed voice calling, but the Mage could not make out the voice.

'Help me… Epyon… Reprogramming…' The fractured speech bellowed in his head. Whoever was calling had a very strong power. But it was growing smaller.

'I don't understand. Please tell me who you are and what's going on!' Wufei called back, trying to keep his cool while wincing in pain.

"Wufei! What's the matter?" He vaguely heard the general call to him, but only half-listened because he concentrated more on what was in his head. Then it was gone- the pain, the voice, everything.

Mage Wufei knelt there, eyes distant. Zechs's voice softened and he asked once more what was wrong.

"It's 01… I have to go." He stood once again, knees shaking slightly. But the black-haired Angel was a perfect image of dignity.

"But it's almost sunset!" Zechs protested, placing a hand upon Wufei's shoulder and spinning him so that they were face to face.

"I know. But if Trieze reprograms him, both this world and the mortal world will be destroyed." He closed his eyes and was gone.

Zechs stared at the spot where the Angel-Mage had been. Memories poured through his mind as if they had been let loose from a floodgate. The day that Wufei had come back from the Beast-Lord's imprisonment was one of turmoil and that day was sure to be repeated if things were going the way they were now... 

Treize chuckled deeply, running a clawed hand down the length of the creation's perfect body. 01 had been no challenge for him to overpower and tie down to a table. Using a thick needle, he inserted a maroon-colored fluid into his neck and the deep Prussian eyes began to dull quickly.

"Stop…" The half-Angel protested weakly, slowly feeling his whole body go numb.

The Beast-lord ignored the pleading and glanced outside, seeing the quickly darkening sky. With the dark came his powers and nothing would stop him. Tonight was his night, the night when everything would end.

Just as the sun set into the mountains and darkness spread, Treize moved his hands to clutch both sides of 01's head and unleash his power, penetrating the creation's mind. The creature was now his.

Duo's head jerked up when he heard a scream of agony echo through the Beast lands, originating from the Lord's quarters. It rang of the purest pain and caused him to shiver.

          'Oh shit… That's 01…' The Demon didn't know exactly what made him stand and turn to leave in the direction of that scream.

          "Duo?" Quatre's worried voice replaced the pain-filled noise. He sat on the white marble floor with the Beast Tamer's head resting in his lap. The brown-haired Tamer was clearly unconscious and it took everything the blond Demon had to just sit there, waiting to see if he'd finally gotten through to his koi. But if he hadn't, death surely awaited him.

          "Uh, I don't know…" Duo shook his head confusedly. "I just felt that… Oh hell… You were the one that wanted to rescue the damn Angel, not me! So why is it that I have this feeling that I'm the only one who's going to do it?"

          Quatre looked up at him, his eyes wavering with unshed tears, suddenly looking very fragile. His slim hands combed Trowa's soft hair absently,

          "I can't leave him… Not again…"

          The braided Demon shook his head, turned and ran off.

          'So that's what it's like to be in love… I doubt that'll happen to me. Not bloody likely…'

          Duo ran faster now, seeing as the screaming had abruptly stopped. He twisted and turned through halls upon halls, lithe body exiting the most perfect agility. The Demon used his powers, seeking out what was behind many of the doors.

          'C'mon, you damn Angel… Where are you…? Wait… What was that?'

          Duo frowned deeply, pressing an ear against a large set of heavy black doors. There seemed to be only one presence in that room, but it was faint. He opened the doors slowly…

01 was barely conscious against the stone slab. His body ached and he felt the unfamiliar, alien liquid flowing through his veins. The creature could not move because something in the back of his head to him that he could not. He vaguely heard the door slide open and rolled his eyes in the general direction to see a familiar Demon.

          "Hey 01," it called gruffly, approaching him cautiously. "You still alive?"

          The creation could not speak, but wanted to. He could feel the Beast origins of his body awakening and it was only a matter of time before Treize would use him to destroy his own kind.

          "Guess not…" Duo muttered, and set on undoing the bonds. He closed his eyes and a black mist floated across the iron shackles. They fell away with a clank. The Demon then moved to pick the Angel up and sling him over his shoulder.

          01 suddenly snarled nastily as soon as Duo had touched his skin, but there was pain in his eyes.

          "Relax! I'm just trying to get you out of here! It doesn't look like you could move anyways… Oh… Okay, I'm wrong…" Duo trailed off as he watched 01 sit up slowly by himself, whole body shaking.

          "Get out of here," the angel growled deeply in a voice that was less than something angelic.

          "Look buddy, I decided to help you and I am not backing out of this! We can get out of here before the bastard-lord comes back. Are you with me on this one?"

          Instead of a spoken answer, 01 tilted his head to show the Demon the side of his neck. There was a single puncture wound with red blood trickling from it slowly, but the skin around it had turned a sickening shade of green.

          "What the hell is that?"

          "I am his now. My mission has failed- Leave me and go."

          "Damn you! What exactly was your mission?! Why are you so important?!" Duo cried, cursing at him with all he knew.

          A look, of sadness, Duo realized, crossed the creation's face. Little did he know, but the things that 01 would say now would change his life…

          "I was human. In the last years of the mortal world known as Earth, there was a nuclear war that destroyed everything. I was a soldier at the time, fighting who I was told were my enemies. When the last final bomb went off, I was thrown into the sky and into the realm you know as Beyond Heaven.

          "The Angels… They had never seen a creature like me before and they used me as their experiment. The Mages transformed my body into one like their own, the Demons forced their unique power into my body, and the Beasts gave me my strength. I am no longer human, but a hybrid Angel, Demon, and Beast."

          All the color had drained from Duo's exquisite face, his amethyst eyes wide and pale. He trembled and backed away from the former mortal.

          "Oh Gods… You are… But what would the Beast-Lord want with you?"

          01 snarled again and bared his teeth savagely, clenching his fists so tight that his red blood began to track down his forearms. For the first time since Duo had known him, the creature had started to show emotion.

          "Don't you get it?! I am the last living remnant of what was the mortal world, the key to a new universe! Do you want to Beasts to have that?!" he stopped. "Although they already do…"

          The braided Demon's breathing increased, chest rising and falling with greater speed.

          "What can we do? What can I do?!"

          In the most hollow and serious voice, the creature looked at him with dull eyes and said,

          "Kill me."

TBC…
