Chapter 5- The One-Winged Angel
"So Jet," said Selfina looking up at the monster. "What's the plan?"
I don't know," he replied. "How about you distract it while I sneak up from behind."
"I don't think that will work, but I'm with ya. Lets give it a try! Hey...hey you!"
The snake monster looked down at her and growled.
"Yeah you," she said. "Did you hear the joke about when two boys were making fun of another boy and one of the boys said...you're mama so cheap; when she went to McDonald's...she put a milkshake on lay-away. Hahaha...isn't that funny?"
"No, that was corny," said Jet. "What the hell was that?"
The huge snake moved its tail and swiped it at Selfina sending her flying on the ground. She coughed up some of the dirt that flew in her mouth.
"I guess the snake thought it was corny too. I guess I know not to use that joke again."
Jet laughed a little. "Yeah I guess so."
Sephiroth stepped fourth. "I think I'll give it a try." He jumped high into the air and drove his sword into the monster's stomach.
The snake made a loud cry and began spitting out more of those balls of slime around the battlefield. One of the goo balls hit the ground and burned a hole through it.
"It's acid!" shouted Kagome pulling the unconscious man closer to her. She stood up and dragged him farther away from the berserk snake monster. "I think we'll be safe now..."
Over where Jet, Selfina, and Sephiroth were; they weren't making much progress in trying to stop the monster. Sephiorth took his out of the monster and landed on the ground, clutching his right shoulder.
"You're still hurting from when you fell," said Jet. "You are in no condition to fight."
"And you are too weak to take on this by yourself," Sephiorth replied trying to control his ragged breathing "I still can fight. Only worry about you."
One the flying acid balls came flying towards Sephiorth. Jet moved as fast as he could and pushed him out of the way. The acid began to eat away at his flesh.
"Oh no, Jet!" Kagome and Selfina shouted together.
He fell to the ground wincing at the pain he was feeling.
"I told you to worry about yourself," Sephiroth said getting to his feet. "That could of been me instead of you. But...I...thank you anyway. I'll take over now."
Jet looked up at him trying to focus through the tears building up in his eyes. Selfina rushed over to Jet's side and helped him up.
"You two may want to move away for this," said Sephiroth. "Unless you want to want to get caught in what's going to happen."
"No we're fine," said Selfina smiling. "We'll just move right over there where Kagome is. Which very far..." She and Jet slowly walked over to where Kagome was.
Sephiroth glared up at the monster as it suddenly stopped its rage. "I wasn't planning on using this until I got to Moon Island, but you leave me no choice. Consider yourself lucky you are able to witness such a sight, but you won't be alive to tell anyone about it..."
He raised his one of his hands to the sky. A beam of light came from the clouds that began to stir and covered him whole. The light grew brighter; so bright that everyone had to cover their eyes to prevent from being blinded.
"What the hell is he doing?" asked Selfina.
"I don't know, but I think we are about to find out," replied Kagome. She open her eyes a bit. "It seems the snake isn't enjoying this either."
The monster growled and tied to escape the light but was unable to, because it couldn't see where it was going. Finally, the light disappeared. Kagome, Jet, and Selfina opened their eyes and was startled at what they saw.
Selfina gasped. "Holy-"
"-crap," said Kagome finishing her sentence.
Sephiroth was still there; the only difference was that he had one big beautiful wing that looked like an angel's wing on the right side of his back. He opened his eyes and looked up at the snake that began to flinch.
Selfina glared at Kagome. "I wasn't gonna say crap..."
Kagome glared back. "You shouldn't cuss so much." She gazed at Sephiorth dreamily as he seemed even more handsome in his strange angel form. "All that power I sense is coming from him. I'm sure glad that he isn't one of the bad guys or we would have a real fight on our hands."
Jet nodded. "Yeah..."
The snake monster threw more of its acid balls at Sephiorth then moved back slowly when it made contact and didn't faze him. Sephiroth levitated over to the monster and put his left hand in its face.
"Bang," he said smirking. With that said; a surge of fire released from hand, and exploded hitting the snake. It fell to the ground and burned away.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" shouted Selfina cheering. "Great job, Sephi!"
Sephiroth took a deep breath, and closed his eyes as the beautiful angel wing disappeared from his back. He gently reached the ground and fainted. Jet and Selfina rushed over to help.
"He used up all his power," said Jet. "With a little rest he should be up and running again."
Selfina sighed. "That's good. We don't need to take care of two unconscious dudes..."
She and Jet dragged Sephiroth's weak body over to Kagome and the other man. Together they helped pull the two men over to the oasis they were at before to rest.
