Chapter 6: Mended by a Texan!

The rain pitter-pattered on top of his umbrella as he ran to the park where Angel would be. Terry's heartbeat was strong as it came into rhythm with the pounding of his feet on the wet pavement. His bright blue eyes scanned the area for any signs of Angel as he ran. Terry stopped running, feeling out of breath as he came to a slower pace. He was starting to feel hopeless as he watched the rain coming down. Yet the feeling he had in his heart told him to keep going.

As Terry continued forward looking for Angel he came to the steps that lead to a shrine. Terry ran up the steps and slows down as the shrine came into view. It was closed, probably because of the weather. He stood there for a moment as his eyes came upon Angel. She was just standing there with an unreadable expression, until she turned her head towards him. Angel's eyes grew wide with realization of whom it was. She whispered his name not to load for she was scared it was just her imagination. Terry barely heard what she said, but nodded his head in return.

"TERRY!!!" Angel cried out as she ran into his arms almost knocking him down onto the cold wet pavement. She started to sob once she came in contact with his warm body. Mumbling things into his chest that didn't make any sense. Terry ignored it as he wrapped his arms around her not caring about whether she's wet or not. The two continued to stand there, Terry giving off some of his warmth to her and Angel sobbing making his shirt wet with tears. Terry started to walk still with his arms about Angel not daring to let go, for she had finally calmed down.

It continued to rain as cars passed by making a splash sound as their tires went along the wet pavement. Terry still held Angel close as the two reached the apartment. He opened the door and could see that no one was around. This didn't surprise Terry, yet when Angel walked out of Terry's embrace she took her surroundings in. "Where is everyone?" Angel asked not really caring that her annoying brother was around, but was still curious.

"I reckon Meats took Kid out for supper! Since he ate all the food." Terry replied. "You should get outta those clothes. I'll go see if Kid left somethin' for us ta eat." Angel watched Terry walk away as she grabbed something to change into and entered the bathroom. She sighed as she placed her hand upon her heart. Her thoughts of the past events were clear, but still she didn't understanding why Terry came looking for her. Angel quickly put on her nightclothes and looked at herself in the mirror before she left. Being satisfied with her looks she leaves the bathroom to see what Terry was doing. The smell of chilly was in the air as she came up to him she also noticed that Terry must have changed as well since he was wearing blue pajama bottoms. It was as good of a time as any to ask him her question.

"Why did you come out and look for me? Also how did you know I was out alone in the park anyways?" Angel asked just as he was bring her a bowl of his mom's famous chilly. Terry looked at her with a frown upon his face, but turned into a smile as he answered.

"Meat was talking to Checkmate on the tela'phone saying you ran outside in the rain and was upset. Wha were ya upset about anyway?" Terry's eyes locked with hers once he sat across from her with a bowl of chilly for himself.

"How should I put this.?" She drifted her eyes down at the bowl of chilly as she continued eating it as she went. "When I was finished shopping with Roxanne, Kiki and Trixie. I went off to see Checkmate. Uh when I knocked on the door, Checkmate answered with only a sheet wrapped around him. His face looked confused or something. Then Trixie came out of his bedroom half naked."

Tears came down her cheeks as she finished. Terry took his right hand and wiped them away with his thumb. Angel looked up at him as she stared into his blue eyes. "I never realized it until now." Angel whispered feeling her heart skip a beat as she got up and moved closer to Terry. Terry got up too leaving his food on the table as he took a hold of Angel around the waist.

"Never realized what?"

"This!" Angel replied as she gave him a kiss. Terry's eyes grew wide for a moment as he took the affection by surprise, but then returned the kiss as he pulled her body even closer to his body making the kiss deep. Angel rubbed her hands over his bareback and moaned loudly as his hand made its way up the back of her shirt. They stopped to catch their breath while they looked at each other trying to figure out what just happened. Their bodies still close together until they heard the door open and stepped away from each other.

Everyone was talking all at once while they entered the apartment. Dik Dik was talking to Wally and Kid was mumbling something to himself. Meat slammed the door which made everyone shut up and stared at him.

"It's not as if the worlds at an end." Meat rubbed his head feeling a headache coming on. Terry looked concerned at Meat and asked what happened.

"Oh yeah that's right you weren't there." Meat continued. "You must remember the party MacMadd's son had. Well it was tonight and these guys that called themselves the Poison Six Pack that were dressed up like Kid Muscle took the girls captive."

That said everyone but Angel and Terry went to bed they had some talking to do. On seeing this opportunity the two sat together on the sofa where Angel was to sleep. Terry cleared his throat feeling nervous all of the sudden.

"Terry." Angel began placing her hand on his. "I know how you fight you'll be fine. I don't know what came over me early, I wasn't thinking." Terry never thought he'd hear those words. The kiss was too real and passionate for her not to feel anything. He sighed feeling discouraged more then ever. Terry got up form the sofa directing himself to his bedroom. Not a word was said when he shut the door leaving Angel lost in her thoughts and the love she shared with Checkmate and the kiss she

~*~*~

A makeshift stadium was set up in the forest and the ring was placed on a large tree stump. A meteor looking spacecraft, formed in the shape of a jester head was floating in the sky with the girls trapped inside. Terry could see Trixie in a glass container while he stood beside Kid waiting for these Poison Six Pack to get things started. Just as two of the Kid Muscle clones stepped up he noticed Angel wasn't anywhere's to be seen. His thoughts were interrupted as Jeager gabbed him in the side.

"Now that everyone's here shall we begin?" One of the clones asked and continued without an answer. "This will be a tag team match up to save those pretty girls up there and the lucky ones will be Terry Kenyon and Jeager Broken!" The two clones removed their Kid Muscle outfits and revealed their true self. One looked like a big metal crusher that was truly a robot. The other one he looked like he belonged in the zoo with those horns on his head, but he was an Egyptian looking shaman. The Protector and Dazzling.

The two young men looked at each other nodding their heads as if telling one another with out words that they can win this. Terry got into the ring saying he would take the first punch. The Protector is his opponent and got into his fighting stance, and he could see his father and Broken Jr. standing to the side of the ring ready to coach both him and Jeager on.

The match begun as Protector took a punch at Terry, but he dodged it. Jumping out of the way of every blow the big robot tried to get. Terry grins as he bounded up on his opponents shoulders and starts tap dancing on his head, until the Protector is prone on the mat. Terry continues to stomp on the Protectors helmet knowing this has great affect on the robot. However to the Shaman's dismay, Dazzling jumps into the ring with out being tagged by Protector and launches a glowing fist at Terry. Terry's quick thinking and quick footwork easily dodged it and he reciprocates kicking Dazzling down to the mat. Protector took this opportunity and grabbed Terry by his legs and slams him down hard on to the canvas. Tossing him around like a rag doll Jeager yells at him saying they should switch up. Terry lays on the mat motionless but his arm tries to reach Jeager to tag him seeing the robot coming in for a big stomp. Instead he manages a leg drop instead of a stomp. Terry felt an enormous amount of pain as Protector continued with a punch to his chest smashing him into the canvas even more making him cry out in pain.

"Protector I think you had enough fun why don't I give it a try?" Dazzling looks at his friend with his hand out stretched waiting for him to tag. There was no argument or complaints as the Protector tags Dazzling and exits out of the ring. Dazzling looks at Terry with a pity look on his face while Terry staggers towards Jeager to tag him in.

"Ha! Just like your father. Your families always have been second rate." Dazzling taunts the poor Texan. Not hearing his fathers or Jeagers pleas remains in the ring. Offended by what Dazzling said about his family charges at him and grabs him by the waist for a take down. Dazzling smirks as he double chops shoulders Terry sending him to the ground. He grabs Terry by the arms and slams his whole torso into the canvas with viciousness all the while grinning. Terry could hear his father and Jeager plea for him to tag out. He shook his head as thoughts of Angel and what she said. '.you'll be fine!' Refusing to give up he launches an attack grabbing Dazzling by the horns just as he did with Buffalo Man only a year ago and slams Dazzling into the canvas. Terry glad of what he did looks down at Dazzling watching him turn over a bit. He notices something weird and unfamiliar shoulder pad that resembles a lot like an eye. 'What is that thing?' Terry wonders to himself before feeling a bit light headed, and to him his surrounding start to look different.

"Hey where am I?" Terry's voice alone could be heard. Gloomy trees encircled him and it was dark it was amazing that he could see at all. Terry felt something go up his legs and about his waist. He looked at himself and noticed roots where tying him up not willing to move an inch. He started to creep out

As Terry tried to squirm free of the roots Dazzling had the advantage of hailing a rage of punches at his face. Terry Man not understanding what was going on in the ring runs from his seat to the edge of the ring and realizes that his son is under a spell. Not willing to stand off the side any longer Jeager takes his first step into the ring. The Protector decided to take part in the entire ruckus and does a nasty sidekick and knocks Jeager out of the ring.

~*~*~*~

The roots were about his neck now and he was crying out of the fear of being strangled by the roots and the pain it endured on his body. His head dropped now looking down at his boots feeling the loss of hope and the will to keep fighting. Terry closed his eyes imaging Angel in his mind as if it was the last time he would ever see her again. Terry opened his eyes, but was blinded by a light coming from nowhere. He could feel some warmth come back to his body as his eyes sight returned and he could see a cherry tree full of blossoms. And there underneath the tree stood his Angel. Her eyes sparkled as a tear rolled down her cheek at the sight of Terry. She wore a white dress that came down to her bare feet and her blond hair was down to her waist no longer shoulder length. Angel smiled as she lifted herself in the air, wings bursting out of her back. The beauty that stood before him took Terry's breath away. Angel flew over to him.

"Terry," She whispered softly leaning her head close to his and placed a soft kiss on his smooth lips. Terry took his arms and wrapped them around her waist pulling her close and feeling her wings graze his arms. She whispered something into his ear in a foreign language he did not understand, but didn't care as he continued the passionate kiss. He felt a sharp pain in his back as wings of his own that Angel gave him burst out just as her wings did. Terry broke the kiss still staring into her lovely eyes. The image of the dark forest disappeared, as did his wings as Angel stood in front of him. "welcome back to reality!" She hugged him with tears of happiness flowed freely as she held the one she truly loves. Terry hugged her in return and the crowd roared of applause. He looked around and could see Dazzling knocked out lying on the canvas of the ring not to far from his and Angel's feet.

"Where's Jeager?" His eyes scanned for his friend. Jeager tossed the Protector into the ring on top of Dazzling.

"Right here!" Jeager jumped into the ring landing right beside Terry. Cheers of Angel's name soared the area. Terry faced Angel looking confused, but just got a shrug then a hug. "I think we forgot Trixie." Jeager eyed up at the glass case she was in, but was no longer there. A big crash came not to far from them and everyone ran over to see Trixie laid half unconscious on the ground. Terry sighed, the match was over and Terry was still unsure how Dazzling got knocked out. He knew Angel had a lot of explaining to do, but when he was about to ask Terry Man came up to him and Angel.

"Who is this son?"

A/N:I couldn't remember much of the fight so some of the parts could be made up I don't know. I'm sure the next chapter will be the best one yet. Oh did I mention there might be three different parts to this story? I've come up with an ending to this story and it has three different parts. I could tell you what the two parts are, but what fun would that be if I told you? Again I'm sorry for the long delay. I have half of school tomorrow so I'll have the next chapter in no time. I promise and I always keep my promises.

Hutchy: Thanks and keep reading it will get better!

DeathsDragon: I just want to hug all of you for reviewing! Yeah I love it too, I just hope my idea for the next few chapters will go as well as the last 6 I've did. Keep reading your such a help! I mean that too!

Checkmate's No. 1 Fan: Lol a physic cool! I wonder if you can guess what I have planned for the rest of my story?

Vixen Kamikaze: Yep poor Angel, but I'd say poor Checkmate for what his been through. It wasn't even his fault.oops said too much!

Scarlet the Dark Echidhog: Scary picture having Checkmate with Trixie. I was even against it at first but what I told Vixen Kamikaze, it wasn't his fault.. Oops did it again! Lol.
