TWO HEROES COLLIDE 9, LYLAT-TERRA WARS
Chapter Seventeen, Light Versus Dark
Eagle, even though Fox tormented or forsake him, still protected the vulpine. At the cost of his life, he saved Fox from a fatal attack. However, he wasn't able to stop X-Eagle.
"I worry about him…"
"You're so foolish! Why do you still care for him? He wanted you to die!"
"No! He was just blinded by the grief he'd faced before."
"But that doesn't give a good reason for you to save him."
"Why? I never understood you…"
"You don't have to… you need friends if you wish to understand it."
"Why is this friend valuable to you?"
"Because, if I don't have it, I wouldn't live at all. They are the ones who supported me. They're the ones who took care of me. I couldn't move on without one."
"But that treacherous snake broke that code!"
"He didn't really mean it! I told you before… but even if he did, I'm still there for him. I'm still his friend no matter what happens."
"You…"
"Yes?"
"Can I feel this emotion? Will you let me?"
"I will…"
"Fox, Fox, Fox," X-Eagle muttered as he opens the door that leads to a stairwell. "You can hide, but you can't run!" He then saw Fox, readying a blaster.
The vulpine fired a shot, which X-Eagle just shrugged off. "What the?!" he gasped. "You didn't get injured?!"
X-Eagle punched Fox, and then grabbed him by the neck. Fox's hope all slowly slipped away, with him wishing to die.
I… I deserve this… Fox put a thought for himself. Many of Wulf's friends died as well as Slippy too. If I just helped him before, none of this would've happened!
"Prepare to meet your fate!" X-Eagle shouted as he's about to tighten the grip from the neck of Fox. The canine choked, since his breathing has been disrupted.
Suddenly, without the dark avian noticing, a powerful windblast hit his back, which caused him to let go of Fox. Because of the blow's strange property, it sort of scorched X-Eagle's back, making him shout. As he looked back, he suddenly got surprised to what he saw.
"You! It can't be!" X-Eagle gasped. "You're dead!"
In front of him stands a brown avian, with scars from the wounds. His clothes were torn by serration, and his bandanna has been ruined. He is none other than Eagle.
"I am not only Eagle," he smiled with a peculiar face, "Garuda helped me to stand up. I never knew it, but I believe he's with my side now. He gave his spiritual force to me, giving me strength to fight you again and protect my friends!"
"Damn you," X-Eagle grunted. "But it's all right! It's only a matter of an hour before your friends die! My talisman would crush their soul, slowly eating them and making their bodies rot!"
"Then I just have to be quick in beating you up," Eagle shouted as he dashed forward.
"Not a chance!" X-Eagle sinisterly answered as he cups his hand. "Shadow Claw!"
"Hikari Wind!" Eagle, along with Garuda's spirit, yelled. They formed a shining wind, firing it towards the black claws stretching from the ground.
The luminous air destroyed the black spirits, and attacked X-Eagle. In doing so, it charred X-Eagle, who was shouting in pain.
"X-Eagle," Eagle wondered, "why are you…"
"That… that's out of the question!" X-Eagle answered back, still suffering from the pain.
Back at the base…
"Darkness… you're life is short! You don't need to exist anymore! Sparire Hexum!"
A circle of arcane appeared below her, along with the multi-pointed star. It then tries to absorb the evil spirits found within the place, but it was easily destroyed by the darkness. Soon after, Tatanuk ran out of hope.
"I've tried everything," she whimpered as she kneels down. "I can't null the spell!"
"We have to do something!" Wolf growled. "We can't just leave them here! There must be a way!"
"We're running out of time. I hope Eagle finishes this off or else…"
Suddenly, something came into Wolf's mind. "Can you cast a spell using a talisman of a different spell?" he asked, remembering what happened to him, Fox, and Wulf back at Andross [see episode 8].
"Well," she wondered, "I tried but I…"
"We'll do this together…"
Wolf held Tatanuk's hand, which in turn holds a talisman. They both closed their eyes and hoped for something. Suddenly, a flash of phrase came upon their minds.
"My heart is yours… forever evanescent. My words shall be my castle walls. Angel Wings!"
A flock of feathers then appeared from the ripples of light that accumulated around the two. They formed wings, which started to cast magic. Darkness then attacks the spell, however, because of the purity of the spell, it was easily vanquished. The spell destroyed the corruption found within the area, and finally crushing the effect of Hell Scourge.
"We… we did it!" Tatanuk smiled.
"We should thank Wulf," Wolf grinned. "If he didn't did this before, I wouldn't have any idea about this at all!"
In front of them, they saw their friends slowly waking up…
Back at the top of the building…
"You're not really a living creature, aren't you?" Eagle wondered. "You're just a shadow of mine, created in darkness!"
"NO!" X-Eagle yelled back, dashing forward and trying to punch Eagle. "I am a person like you! I'm not just a clump of energy!" As his fist touched Eagle's wings, they got seared again, making him fly away.
"I AM NOT A SHADOW!" he yelled again. He then scratched his chest with his sharp talons, showing a large wound. "See!" he reassured him. However, as the blood flows out from the scratch, black gas starts to sip out from the wound.
Eagle approached X-Eagle and he then tried to touch the wound, but as he did it, X-Eagle was scorched again.
"You're only a silhouette, X…" Eagle nodded.
"NO!!!" X-Eagle shouted.
After all that happened, what would happen to Eagle and Fox? After finding out what X-Eagle is, will they show mercy towards him or will they finish him off?
