Past of the Devils Chapter 8: Battle of Tears

Silence.

Even the rain and thunder were silent; everything was. Until Gabe chuckled deeply, "That's ironic, because I was thinking the exact same thing for you".
With his eyes still focused on his brother he suddenly disappeared from sight and only milliseconds later was found by Naomi's side. Before she or anyone else could react, Gabe had locked his arm around her waist, refusing her any movement. He acted as though he had planned the whole thing, because instantly afterwards he raised his free hand to form a ball, that looked like electricity, dyed in a vivid yellow-green color. He pointed it right towards Angelis. Knowing that his safety did not matter, Angelis did not delay in flinging Serenity to dodge the attack. However, by the time he looked back, he was blinded by an amazing light. His stomach ached in pain as the ball of electrical energy hit him. He could hear Naomi screaming out his name. Finally he felt his back slam against the wall behind him. As soon as his body made contact with cement the ball of energy hastily turned into a mold and plastered him to the wall, securing his body, and the amount of air he had to breathe.
Naomi finally hit Gabe with enough power to loosen his grip and send him backwards a few feet. When she was free from his grasp she scurried over to Angelis along with Serenity.
"Angelis are you alright?" Naomi questioned, "Here let me get you out."
Both Naomi and Serenity were too focused on releasing the badly injured Angelis that they almost forgot about Gabriel. They did not notice that he had steadied himself from Naomi's painful blow and was now raising two sharp daggers into the air pointing them to the young maidens. Nearby, covered in debris, was Luna slowly waking up. She did not take the time out to gather her thoughts; instead, as cunning as she was, she scammed her surroundings. The first figure to come into view was Gabriel, so she decided to focus all of her energy on him. Her traveling eyes finally stopped at the two daggers. She then looked over to see that everyone was busy trying to help Angelis. She didn't move. If she did Gabriel would just knock her down again, and her head was already severely damaged, right now she didn't need a brain disorder or worse; death. But she had to stop Gabriel, she tried to utter warnings to the others but found herself mute. 'I must have had a strike to the throat...'she thought, 'ouch! Damn it there must be an extremely large splinter in there. I can't even move my head with out a sharp pain right in the middle of my throat'. She knew that she still had to stop the daggers. She scanned the room for a weapon, any weapon...but found that the only thing that would even be semi-useful was her own shoe.
'No that wouldn't work', she thought,' if I do that then Gabe will see me move before I even get my shoe off. Oh shit! He's getting ready to throw the daggers! I have to do something!'
Luna gathered up the last of her energy and strength, and as soon as Gabriel released the daggers, she leaped to her feet and tackled Serenity and Naomi to the ground. The only injury from the daggers was that one of them had grazed her shoulder.
"Oh dear god Luna!" was the only thing that Serenity could find herself to say. She didn't give Luna a chance to answer, she slid her arms under Luna's and pulled her up resting Luna's head on her shoulder. Then she ripped her already torn gown and used it as a bandage for Luna's injured head and shoulder. Then she sat her up straight and leaned her against the wall. She and Naomi stood up and faced Gabriel.
"Damn you wenches and whores! I refuse to waste my time with any of you! Sky is mine and I am taking her with me to my own hell! Now GET OUT OF MY WAY!" roared Gabe.
"Well that wasn't a very flattering tone Gabe. Now if you want her, then fight for her." sarcastically replied Naomi, who dared to stand in front of Sky. With a flick of both wrists, she held two flaming balls of an intense orange color.
"Then so be it Naomi." sneered Gabe.
He raised his right arm high into the air and opened his hand. In a flash appeared a sword from a tortured world called the Shadow Realm.

The Battle was On.

They were both highly skilled. Each of was born with knowledge and taught to fight and defend. But one had to lose. Yet both refused. They zoomed through the air dodging attacks and firing their own. Their bodies twisted and turned into fighting stances and assault forms. Naomi and been consistent and fierce with each attack, and as she grew stronger, Gabe grew weaker. She was going to finally destroy Gabe, and everyone could see it, even Gabe himself. He couldn't let himself lose to her, he had other plans and death was not one of them. Then he thought of the most twisted thing to do.
"Bravo Naomi, I do believe this is your best fight by far."
"Don't play games with me Gabriel. They won't help you buy any time." snapped Naomi.
"Dear foolish Naomi, I don't need to buy time. You see you have one major weakness that will cost you your life."
Naomi hesitated. She could only think of one thing; Botan. 'Damn him! I thought he had forgotten about her! Damn it what the hell am I supposed to do now? Wait...Angelis said that he took care of her and that she was now in a safe place! Gabe can't possibly get to her'.
Gabe took her off guard to attack, but Naomi wasn't a fool. She quickly snapped back to reality and darted back and forth across the destroyed room, not staying in one place for even three seconds. She was moving quickly now, waiting for her opening to attack. Her face was locked and focused on Gabriel. Then she hit him. He was just moving back when she decided to zoom in on his stomach and slam a fire ball the size of tennis racquet right into it. No one would ever survive a direct hit like that from Naomi especially. But Gabe was different. Instead of his insides melting down and seeping into his pores, like the attack was made to do, his worthless body spun uncontrollably in three full circles before engraving its figure into the ground. He was about to get up when suddenly the wooden floor beneath him gave way and he fell quickly down to the first floor. Naomi ran to the edge and only saw dust and debris.
"Alright there is no time to waste. Quick...get up and get Sky out of here the both of you. I will stay behind and free Angelis." ordered Naomi.
Serenity reacted immediately, and went to help Luna up. She had turned her back for only a moment when she heard a gasp from Naomi and yell from Angelis. She turned back to see that Gabriel had his hands around her neck. Naomi struggled to be free but found that Gabe's anger and hate towards her was stronger then her will power to be liberated. Serenity turned back around to help Angelis out, she knew if he were out there fighting side by side with Naomi, then they might actually win. She slide her hands between the mold and Angelis's shoulder, and tried with all of her might to pull it off. Luna tried to follow her lead, but she wasn't even half way up when Angelis yelled, "It's no use! Try to save Naomi!"
Serenity Tried not to panic. Save Naomi? But how? Then she saw a large piece of cement that had been broken off the wall. She picked it up and threw her whole weight into it, hurtling it into Gabriel's back. Luckily, Gabe had let go of Naomi, but not softly. Instead of just dropping her to the floor, he flung her down and with such force that her body rolled across the ground until it was stopped by the wall. She lazily got up and was hunched over wiping blood from her cheek and mouth, breathing unsteadily. Then she looked back at Gabriel who too was breathing hard and even wheezing. Naomi stared at Gabe, trying to predict what he might do next and how to dodge and attack. Though Gabe was facing Naomi, he was actually looking past her, at the window watching the rain fall.
Naomi kept her face stern and eyes sharp, but by the way she was swaying loosely and sweating, it was like she was nervous and unsure of herself. She could feel him looking past her, but she couldn't understand why. Everyone, who was still conscious, remained still and silent as they awaited the upcoming action. Then they saw Naomi's eyes fill with horror and disbelief. Angelis, Luna, and Serenity could not understand why because Gabriel's back was towards them. Naomi began to take small steps back until she bumped into the windowsill. Naomi saw his eyes fill with different shades of lime green. They were so bright that they stood amongst the gray and black inkiness of the room. He was growing all of his power to its maximum, but that was impossible. No one could gain energy so quickly like that after having a fierce battle, not even Gabriel. The only way that he could be full of so much energy and power was if he was draining it from someone or if someone was feeding it to him. Serenity and Luna did not like the look of fear instilled in Naomi's eyes. Mutually, they both ran at Gabriel to buy Naomi some time to gather herself together. All Gabriel did was lift his hand towards them and they went flying back to Angelis's feet. They looked back up to see him walking towards Naomi.
"You know you have always been a beauty, whether or not you want to acknowledge it." He said as he grazed Naomi's cheek with the back of his hand. "Don't wince my dear...you know I can be gentle when I want to be." He smirked at that, "Too bad all this beauty could not stay a little longer...perhaps Botan will carry it on for you."
"What are you talking about Gabriel?" Asked Naomi, as she stiffened, but couldn't help but show she was afraid.
His hands slipped down to her waist and grabbed hold of her. "Gabriel what the hell are you doing?! Get off of me you bastard!" screamed Naomi. She grabbed hold of his shoulders and dug her nails into his flesh producing magic into his veins. Gabe didn't react; he stared into her eyes memorizing every feature of her face. Naomi froze.
"Naomi!!! GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE!!!" demanded Angelis.
Naomi snapped back, "Goddamn it Gabe get off of me!!" She struggled to break his extremely tight hold. No matter how much Naomi violently shook or pushed, Gabriel kept his place.
Then after what seemed like hours of struggling, Gabe finally loosened his grip on Naomi, only to pick her up inches off the floor and fling her behind him. Then he turned to face her. He used his telekinetic powers to lift her into the air...he also formed a barrier around her so she couldn't escape and no one could go near her to save her.
By now Naomi's heart had been pounding so wildly in her chest, that it felt like a massive beast was head bunting into her rib cage. Her blood ran cold and her face became ghostly pale.

Silence.

Angelis, Serenity, and Luna could only watch in horror as Naomi's body slammed again and again against the ceiling. Until Angelis finally pleaded, "Alright Gabe you win! Just let her go!" Gabe didn't even acknowledge them anymore.
"Well Naomi...this is where we say goodbye...aw my pretty girl don't be scared I mean I hate breaking down such a beauty too...you were a worthy opponent I must say...too bad you lose." No one got a chance to answer or react. By then Gabriel had already spun Naomi's body around a few times and was now hurtling her towards the open window.
Her body crashed into the window head on. Each piece of glass collided with her every nerve. Some pieces wedged their way between her bones and muscles; others disfigured her face with every slash and indent they made. He body flopped lifelessly in the outside air for only moments, plunging four stories down to the hard, damp ground. Her body had hit the ground so hard that it actually rebounded a couple feet in the air, before slightly sinking into the mud. The eerie rain started to wash away her thick and dark red blood.
"Finally that's finished with," sighed Gabe as his eyes went back to normal, "well that took a lot out of me...so I guess I will be coming back for my black rose later...have fun cleaning up...". With that he left swiftly, along with his mold barrier.
Angelis fell to his knees and whispered to himself, "No...Naomi..." Serenity and Luna watched him slowly rise up and then disappear, only to reappear by the windowsill. He gazed down. Naomi was really gone. His hands shook as he clutched the windowsill, crunching any remains of the broken glass. He was hunched over, eyes closed, continually shaking his head. Soon he lifted his head and opened his eyes; again he transported himself...only this time to Naomi's side. Serenity and Luna rushed over to the glassless window and peered over the side. They only caught a glimpse of Angelis carrying Naomi's body and then he blended into the darkness and faded away.
Luna and Serenity turned to each other in utter horror. Mouths open, eyes widen, and skin color washed away. The only things that glistened in the room were their own streaming tears.

Silence.
