Okay people, here is the battle you've all been waiting for. Good verses evil, angel versus devil. This chapter will be long, it will have Tenshi and Noche's and also other things... at least I hope this chapter will be long. Bite's lips nervously and wonders how to write this chapter just right.
Note: Sorry this is so late, but I was sick with the flu and been working twelve hour shifts lately... sigh... the only reason I have time to write this is because I feel a bit better.
Fallen Angels, Rising Devils
By: Firehedgehog
Chapter Sixteen: Battle in the sky
Last time:
"Kill them my pets, while I take care of the angel," Noche purred heading for the roof, Tenshi followed to the two other teens dismay.
They had left the frying fan and went right into the fire.
"This isn't good, not good at all," Tala said, Kai could only nod as the two bit beasts with real bodies attacked.
Present time:
Tenshi didn't want to admit it to anyone not eve himself, but he was horrified of what would happen next. As he ran up the dark staircase to the roof his thoughts were on the ones behind him, he could only hope that his friends would be alright.
He wasn't looking forward to this final battle, he knew that there was a very good chance that he would end dead... probably in a very painful matter.
But he wouldn't let that show; he would keep these fears inside himself and away from anyone else... especially since he was about to fight his ultimate fight.
Sure he had fought battles in the past, mostly beyblade battles and he had always pulled through in the end. Only one of those fights had been life and death; that had been that fight against Tala in the world champions... he knew that if tala had won: he would have been killed by Biovault first.
Yet; this was real life, battles were not truly fought with twirling devices known as beyblades. Mind you they could be used to battle, especially against these copy bitbeasts... but he knew his friends would be using real weapons also.
'I can only hope for the best' Tenshi thought; he felt fresh air hit his face at this point and knew he was almost to the roof.
At first he saw nothing, this was due to brighter light suddenly... finally his eye's adjusted to the new level of light. He paused and looked around for Noche, the demon was leaning against the small wall around the roof a smirk on his face.
"So, you're the angel I'll have to fight and defeat before I open the gates of hell," Noche laughed, Tenshi sighed... but his golden eyes stared at Noche not with hate... but something even he didn't understand.
"Yes, but first you must defeat me... and that won't be an easy task," Tenshi said, Noche laughed and flexed his clawed fingers still glistening with crimson blood.
"The gods have abandoned the earth angel, humans are nothing but a demons dinner. Look at the earth, is there anything that shows the light there once was... leave and let the demons rule what is left... go to nirvana where your kind weep," Noche sneered, Tenshi only shook his head.
"I cannot do that Noche, I am not an angel created by Kami-samas light... I was created from the darkness when it hit this world and transforming it. I am an angel in form but human in soul, and it is my will alone and for all that hope for a better future that I am here," Tenshi here, Noche snorted.
"And if you think about it we are brothers in away, you may be a demon but your body was created out of the darkness that biovault created... just like mine," Tenshi continued, Noche made a gagging sound.
"Related to you, ha... like I would be realted to a feather brain like you," Noche said in an insulted voice, Tenshi closed his eyes for a second knowing that since Noche would not listen to him in any way it meant they would have to fight.
"Lets begin then," Tenshi whispered opening his golden eyes, Noche grinned darkly and leapt into the air and began hovering in place several feet in the air.
"Well, are your wings just decoration or can you fly," Noche taunted, Tenshi rolled his eyes and also leapt into the air. Soon he also hovered in the air; to any observer it would have chilled then to see this. Neither Noche nor Tenshi's wings moved; it was almost as if they truly didn't need their wings.
For several moments they stayed like that, not even looking at each other.
Then suddenly a huge Shock-Wave filled the air as two forces met, Tenshi and Noche were hand to hand straining with all their might against the other.
Tenshi ignored the small cuts that soon covered his hand's caused by Noche claws, he could handle the pain that they caused... after all at the moment he couldn't stop and whine that they hurt and had to bandages them quickly.
That would come later, if there were a later.
***
Ray fell to his knees in shock as the building shook around him, he winced slightly as pieces of the ceiling broke off and crashed to the floor where only three minutes ago he had stood.
'Not good, especially if the tower falls on me. Does this mean the others made it to the demon, or is it something worse' Ray thought, he recalled his beyblade... after all he had no reason for it.
He took one last at Cyber Driger, it was no more then a bloody husk, it was no more.
The tower shook again, sending more of the ceiling down towards him. He easily dodged them, but when he noticed cracks were appearing in the floor he knew it was time to go. The raven-haired blader knew he wouldn't be able to get to his friends now, he would just have to hope for the best...
And hope they all came out of this alive...
***
On another floor both Max and Kenny had also defeated there opponent, at the moment the two were exhausted... but looked like there was no rest for the wary.
"What in the world is going on up there?" Max said looking up, the tower shuddered around them making dust from the falling ceiling land in their hair.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good," Kenny said frowning, Max sighed.
"We should head up and help them," Max suggested, Kenny shook his head in a no motion.
"From my Calculations I can tell that whatever is causing this is causing the tower to slowly shake apart, we should escape... we can wait for the others outside," Kenny said, max swore... he didn't like the idea of leaving his friends behind.
"Let's hurry then, hopefully the others will meet us again soon," Max said, with that in mind the two ran from the room heading for the stairs the entire tower shaking behind them.
***
"Heh... your stronger then I thought angel," Noche sneered, Tenshi only shrugged before they once again met hand to hand.
"This is boring, time to amp it up a bit," Noche said, it was when they separated that it happened.
"Convocado Hellfire!" Noche screamed, Noche's hand suddenly glowed red and he threw that 'light' at Tenshi.
Tenshi screamed as it hit him, it felt as if every nerve and fiber of his being was on fire... the world seemed to distort around him for a few seconds... the pain only lasted five seconds but it felt like eternity to him.
***
Kai and Tala froze as a pain filled scream filled the air, their heads snapped up wishing they could see what was happening up on the roof.
'Tenshi' was their shared thought, they shared a look and a message went between them.
'Go after him, I'll take care of this' Tala's gaze said, Kai stared at him for a second before slowly nodding. Kai quickly recalled his bit beast, picking up his beyblade he ran to where the stairs where.
"Thank you," Kai whispered to the red haired boy, he didn't look back at this point and because of that never heard what Tala said next.
"Take care of him, I love him and it looks like I won't ever be able to again," Tala whispered, his attention once again went to the two cyber bit beasts.
His face became determined, he knew his bit was not powerful enough to defeat them both... but he would do his best... Tenshi was counting on him.
***
Tenshi gasped as the pain vanished and his Body felt normal again, he sent a glare at the laughing demon.
"Ha ha," he said dryly, Noche just sneered nastily.
"Heh, that's nothing, if you think that hurt wait till you meet my other attacks," Noche sneered, Tenshi widened his winds and readied himself to dodge... and he meant dodge fast.
"Mal Oscuridad Hellstorm," Noche shouted, the sky darkened and Tenshi learned the meaning of dodgeball of hell... with giant molten rocks and lava.
"What the hell!" a voice suddenly shouted as the dodgeball session finally ended, Noche smirked and Tenshi sighed... why did people always have to use such words at this type of time... didn't they know that saying it at these battle gave most evil more power.
It was then that Tenshi realized who had spoken, looking down at the roof of the building (which was half melted and cracked). He saw a familiar blue-haired figure; he wanted to swear.
'What in the world is Kai here for, it's too dangerous for him to be here!" Tenshi thought, his golden eyes widened as he saw Noche smirk a truly unholy look of glee in his eyes.
"Kai run!!!" Tenshi shouted in panic, Kai tried t move back inside the tower but it was already too late.
Tenshi tried to fly towards Kai to hopefully get to him before Noche, but the demon was too fast and soon had grabbed Kai in his claws and flew into the air.
"Tenshi..." Kai gasped out, the bladers face was pale as he realized that he was about to die... in a very painful fashion also.
"So, this human you love... catch," Noche said sadistically, with that last word he threw Kai to the ground at a very fast speed.
"KAI!!!" Tenshi screamed: terror in his heart he dived down praying that he would make it before Kai hit the ground far below... and died.
***
Kai was falling; the wind hit his face coldly sometimes stinging his cheeks.
For some reason he didn't feel fear, he had known that sooner or later he would die... after all hadn't he brought many changed ones to there deaths for peace and seen so many people dying... looked like it was his turn.
His fingers could almost touch the dark sides of the dark tower; funny... he had never pictured his death by falling.
"KAI!" a voice cried; startled Kai turned his head and his eyes widened.
Flying above him wings wide was a glorious sight; it was like a vision from heaven... Tenshi.
"Tenshi," he cried happily, Tenshi he now noticed had his arms out and was trying to catch up to him. Seeing this Kai angled his body so he was facing the angelic being, he reached forward towards Tenshi hands ready to grasp the others.
He noticed slight panic on Tenshis face when their hands didn't meet. Strain came to Tenshi's face as he went even faster, then their hands met and time seemed to freeze for that wonderful single moment. (Fanart please)
Then it began again and Kai realized he was now being held in Tenshi's arms, he felt safe and for once he felt the wonder of flying in the air... even though it was by another's power.
Then they were going up and even more up, Kai could only gasp as they finally got to the top of the tower and the miles he could see in any direction... it was amazing.
But those feelings quickly passed as Noche came into view again, disappointment was on the demon's face... apparently he had hoped Kai was just a splat on the ground.
"So you survived... well looks like its time for things to come to an end," Noche sneered; Kai bit his lip and wondered what would happen now.
"Mal Oscuridad Hellstorm," Noche shouted, once the sky darkened and dodgeball of hell began once again.
"SHIIIITTTTTT!!!!" Kai screamed, for the hellstorm wasn't heading for them but the tower.
"The others," Tenshi said in horror, in a matter of seconds the tower collapsed to rubble... neither knew if any of their friends had escaped.
"You bastard, what about all the people inside!" Kai shouted tears actually in his eyes; Noche laughed evilly.
"Like I care mortal, I am a demon and what do I care of a few mortals deaths," Noche sneered, Kai wanted to punch that sneer away but knew Noche would kill him before he even got a chance.
"Kai, hang on... I think its about to get even more worse," Tenshi said suddenly, at that exact moment a black aura flashed from Noche covering them... when it faded none of the three were there.
***
Miles away over the ocean a flash of black light filled the air, when it faded three figures were there. One a demon: the second an angel: and the third human that was being held by the angel.
"Woah... that was a rush," Tenshi said with a groan, he hadn't expected that to heappen.
"Final Phase," Noche laughed, he turned gleaming eyes to Tenshi and Kai.
"You did good angel, better then any before you... but it looks like your about meet death... and I can claim any power of yours for my own," Noche sneered, then before Tenshi could do anything Noche had vanished.
Then he screamed as clawed hands broke his wings; feathers flew in all directions as shock registered through his body.
Then he was falling and falling, his grip around Kai loosened and soon Kai was no longer in them.
"Tenshi!" Kai cried from above him now in Noche's arms, but the angel could not answer him as he hit the water.
'Looks like I failed' Tenshi thought as he sank, he had no energy and his broken wings seemed to drag him down.
I thought you never gave up a voice in his mind said, Tenshi struggled to remember through the pain whom it was.
//Dragoon?// Tenshi thought through the pain, a gentle warmth surrounded him as he sank.
Will you give up Tenshi, will you let all the innocents die by demon hands Dragoon said, Tenshi felt anger rise up inside him.
//I never give up, but how can I fight Noche when my wings are broken?// Tenshi asked confused, he felt Dragoon smile.
I am a wind Dragon am I not, merge with me long enough to win this battle... I will give you my strength and power Dragoon said, Tenshi smiled.
//Lets do it// Tenshi thought.
***
"Tenshi," Kai sobbed, Kai was being held in a painful way by a smug demon who'd just sent his love to his death.
"Heh, time for you to die human," Noche laughed, Kai didn't answer but continued to cry with tears dripping down his face.
Suddenly the water below exploded, the suns rays hitting thousands upon thousands of water droplets sent a rainbow across the water for a few moments.
"What the!!" Noche said in surprise, and Kai could only agree.
Floating in the air only twenty feet away was Tenshi, the reason that he was floating even with broken wings was a simple reason... Dragoon was flying around him glowing a blue color.
"Tenshi," Kai breathed in relief, Tenshi smiled his golden eyes angry.
"Seems it time for my last resort, I didn't know I had it till Dragoon offered it... now it's the final phase," Tenshi said, the light around Tenshi and bitbeast intensified.
"Time to face you end Noche," Tenshi shouted, then the light flashed so bright it blinded them.
Then in what felt like eternity to the two figures the light faded, Kai could only stare in awe... Tenshi and Dragoon no longer floated there... but a new figure was there.
"Tyson..." Kai said in shock, for the new figure looked like Tyson... Tenshi's past self.
The figure had long sapphire blue eyes that fell to his knees; sapphire eyes stared at them from a slim heart shaped face. Angel wings that were normally silvery white in color now had a soft blue tint to them... the final thing Kai noticed was that he wore cool looking blue and white armor.
"What is this?" Noche sneered, the figure smiled a familiar smile and Kai knew this was Tenshi... his heart told him this.
"To defeat you both Dragoon and Tenshi merged into one for the being, and as everyone knows you can never defeat us together," Tenshi/Dragoon told them.
'Cool' Kai thought; that was the only thing he could think about Tenshi/Dragoon and that he hoped that the two could un-merge so he could have his Tenshi back.
"Merging won't save you," Noche hissed, Tenshi/Dragoon only smiled.
"Then so be it," Tenshi/Dragoon finally said, then the two rushed towards each other... and the whole sky exploded in light as the two met.
***
Miles away at the rubble of the ruins a figure looked at the sky in awe; cat like eyes blinked.
"After this, I need a vacation," Ray muttered.
***
"Did we win?" Kai asked as he woke with a groan, he opened his eyes and winced as light hit his eyes.
"Yeah, we won," a familiar voice said, as his eyes came into focus he finally saw the speaker... a very familiar and welcome figure.
"Tenshi!" he cried happily, sitting up he quickly hugged his love... then he let go finally remembering Tenshi's broken wings.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about your wings," Kai said frowning, yet Tenshi only grinned.
"No worry, when Dragoon and myself un-merged my wings were fine," Tenshi said, once again Kai hugged his angel and cried... it would be awhile till he let go.
It was awhile later that he thought of something.
"Um... where are we, and how do we get back to the others?" he asked, Tenshi asked.
"Tropical island, and as how were getting home... I'm flying us to them tomorrow morning, now rest," Tenshi said kissing his lips lightly, Kai smiled and fell asleep.
Throughout the night his angel watched over him.
