ELITE ANGELS, ELITE DEMONS

Chapter 11

The next morning was a hot one. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, even the birds seemed to be flying slower.

"Goodness! What is up with this heat?!" Makoto asked. She had her legs slung over the arm of a chair and her head lolling off the other. Her hand limply brushed the ground.

"Maybe we should go swimming," Usagi suggested from her position on the floor.

"Usa, we don't own bathing suits," Rei spoke as if it pained her to do so.

"So?" came Usagi's reply.

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea. Though I bet everywhere is packed," Ami said, wiping the sweat off of her brow.

"If we do go somewhere, you'll have to drag me there," Minako mumbled from the couch.

"That can be arranged," Rei smirked.

"Rei, not funny!" Minako yelled, then panted as if she had just run a marathon.

"Let's just find some water somewhere," Usagi said, slowly getting up.

The other Angels groaned but followed her lead. Slowly they made their way to Usagi and Ami's door and stepped out.

"Even with the air conditioning it's still burning up," Rei said as she pressed the elevator button.

"No kidding. I don't even want to thing about what it's like outside," Makoto groaned, stepping into the elevator and leaning against the back wall after the doors opened.

It was silent after Makoto's comment except for the hum of silent elevator music.

When there was a ding, indicating that the elevator doors had opened, the five stepped into the lobby and out the door.

After the first few steps it felt like someone had placed five chairs on their back.

"Ugh, we better find some water fast," Minako said looking around for anything that resembled water.

"Yeah, I feel like a fish out of water," Ami mumbled following her friends in their search.

About ten minutes later Minako spotted a small lake, filled with people.

"Ah! Look guys! Water!" Quickly she began to run over to the lake.

"Mina-chan! Wait up!" Makoto yelled as she and the other three followed their blond friend.

When they reached Minako she was already taking off her skirt and shirt.

"Minako! You can't take your clothes off like that! We're Ang—." Quickly Rei placed her hand over Ami's mouth before she could yell the rest of her sentence.

"Ami-chan, come on. Right now it's so hot I don't care if I have to strip down into my undies and a bra. You should do the same," she said as she followed Minako and began to take her clothes off.

"Yeah Ami! If you can't lead then follow!" Usagi giggled as she followed Rei.

The two remaining Angel's sweatdropped. Ami heard Makoto sigh. "I can't believe I'm doing this." With that Makoto stripped down into her underwear and bra and hopped into the cool water.

"Oh whatever," Ami said as she followed her friends into the water.

"See? Now isn't this a lot better?" Minako said floating with her arms spread wide.

"Mmm, yeah," Usagi said as she began to take down her odango's. Minako and Makoto followed as they too took their hair down.

"Ah, this feels so nice," Makoto mumbled dipping her head under the water once again.

No words were spoken as the Angels relished in the cool, blue waters. Ripplets of water appeared at every small movement like soft caresses of silk.

Rei closed her eyes and enjoyed the cool feeling. It was a perfect moment… almost. A soft tingle formed in the back of her head and her eye's immediately opened.

Quickly she righted herself from where she had once been floating and looked around frantically.

"What's wrong Rei?" Usagi asked as she too righted herself.

"Get down," Rei responded calmly, quickly ducking so that only her eyes and nose were above the water.

Knowing that this was no joke the other four Angels followed her and looked in the direction that she was looking in. Two men walked into their view and almost immediately the sky began to darken. These were two men that the Angel's immediately recognized.

"It's them," Rei mumbled, looking around at all of the families in the lake who were looking at the sky confused.

"We have to get everyone out of here or else they'll get hurt. Ami, conjure up some rain and a chill. Mako-chan, start the storm," Minako instructed.

"Right," the two said. Ami closed her eyes and the other four Angels could feel the hum of energy radiating off of her. Slowly drops of rain began to fall from the sky and it became cooler.

Ami opened her eyes as Makoto closed hers. Lightning began to stream across the sky and thunder lightly rumbled in the background.

Families began to get out of the water, grabbing their belongings and running to their cars.

Ami made the rain come down harder and Makoto made more lightning and the thunder louder.

The Angels looked to where the class two Demons had once been only to see that there were now five men standing there.

"Oh man," Usagi groaned as the Angels hopped out of the water when a beam of fire hit where they once were.

"We have to change into our double Elite forms or else we have no chance!" Rei called out as she began to imagine her staff and immediately everything fell into place. Her dress formed around her and was yellow instead of her usual blood red and her eyes changed to a pure yellow.

"LightWave!" she called out as a yellow beam shot out towards the five men.

Before the beam reached the men they all jumped away and immediately the fight began.

……………………………………

Ami immediately imagined her staff. Her dress formed around her, but instead of her usual blue, it was a dark green, as well as her eyes.

Her staff appeared in her hand and she pointed it towards the Demon that had followed her.

"StormWake!" she called out as a green beam shot out towards him. He dodged it quickly and attacked with his own power. Ami dodged and found that when she had changed into her double Elite form it was so much easier to move.

A katana appeared in his hands and Ami made her two curved swords appear and her staff disappear.

He lunged at her and Ami blocked by crossing her two swords in front of her. The parted and Ami took on the advance. Their swords clanged as they hit each other many times. Ami made a move to slice towards his chest but missed. A whistling sound reverberated from her sword and the Demon put his hands on his ears in irritation. Ami took this as a chance to advance, ignoring the fact that she had no idea of what she had just done. She once again sliced across his chest, blood spurting from his newfound wound.

It didn't seem to bother him as the whistling sound stopped and he began to fight with more speed. Ami did as many maneuvers as she could to keep out of his reach but some how each time he would be right there in front of her.

Ami imagined her swords to disappear and her staff to appear. But in that short amount of time that she didn't have a weapon, the Demon took the chance and plunged his katana into her stomach.

Ami gasped as she looked down at the sword in her stomach. Gingerly she touched the wound with a shaking hand, producing a large amount of blood on her fingertips. She looked up at him in horror as he smirked and yanked his weapon out of her flesh.

"FireDancer!" Makoto called as her staff appeared in her hands and her dress turned into a pinkish red color, but her eyes a deep red.

A red beam shot from the tip and out towards the Demon in front of her who just turned into a wolf and quickly dodged the blast.

"Oh great, not this again," Makoto mumbled to herself as the wolf lunged at her. She dodged and made a move to hit him with her staff but he dodged once more.

'Is that all you've got?' his voice said in her head mockingly.

"Damn Bemmu Carut's," Makoto mumbled to herself once more as she imagined her staff away and three daggers in her hands. She threw two of them at him quickly, him dodging easily but she threw the third at his face, it turning to the side as a red line appeared under his eye.

"Come on puppy," she mocked as she imagined her bow and arrows. Knocking an arrow, she fired at the growling animal before her, just barely missing. He lunged towards her neck but Makoto held his head back with her bow. In the process of keeping his head in her bow she saw one of the

Demons shove a katana through Ami's stomach.

"No!" She cried in anger, trying to push Duo off of her. She gave up a good struggle but Duo turned back into a 'human' and held her down.

The other three Angles, hearing her cry, looked towards her, then towards Ami. Giving off their own cries they ran over to their friend, ignoring the Demons they were once fighting.

"Perfect," Makoto heard Duo whisper as he covered her mouth and nose. Makoto struggled once more, trying to get a breath, but failed, falling limp in Duo's arms. Slowly, while others were worrying over their friend, he picked up the brunette and began on his way back to their cave.

His fellow Demons, seeing that his job was done, immediately began to follow. The Angel's paid them no mind, only worrying about the welfare of their friend.

"Ami! Come on Ami, speak to me!" Usagi cried, placing the blue haired girl's head in her lap.

"We have to get her back to the inn immediately!" Rei said, picking Ami's body up. "Here Mako-chan, you've got to carry her. We'll get there faster," Rei said again, turning around expecting to see her friend there. But when she turned around, she didn't see the usual tall brunette.

Rei looked around frantically. "Makoto?" she called. "Makoto!"

"We don't have time for this! She's probably fine; let's get Ami to the inn. We'll have to transport her." Minako had Rei place Ami on the ground, and grabbed her friend's hands.

"Right," Rei said as she looked her shoulder, towards the way she had seen the Demons disappear to, with concern. 'Makoto,' she thought. 'Where are you?'
