Sorry you all! I promised one that I would update last weekend but something tragic happened… My beloved bunny died all of a sudden. I have been busy trying to find a place to bury her… the ground here in Sweden is still frozen.
Yet one week later I got a new bunny! She is so adorable!
The end is coming nearer, the next chap is the end in fact! I love to write this fic even though I get seriously stuck on it! I'm thinking of a sequel… what do you think?

Did it hurt when you fell from the heavens?
Chapter twenty five: Let's fight together
Xxxx
Sabu smirked when it felt the energy of the people on earth vanish. Looking down at the bloody and bruised angel it laughed. 'Felt that? That was the last fickle of energy you will ever feel from your friends. They have joined my masters collection of souls'
Tsuzuki shook his head and stared blankly before him. "No. I don't believe a simple building could have killed them. Not Tatsumi at least" he said and looked up at the demon before him.
'And what makes you think that? You felt the energies vanish' Sabu said, backing up two steps.
Tsuzuki stood up and smiled. "Tatsumi is a shadow master. He can protect the heavens with his shadows if necessary" he said. "And that is not the only thing"
Sabu let out a low growl as Tsuzuki started to walk forwards him. The demon sent a shock wave against the angel to make him back… he got no reaction.
"I felt Hisoka awake from your master's hold" the white winged angle said and lifted one hand above his head, still walking forwards the demon. The bracelets that Byakko had given him glowed and detached themselves from his writs and gathered in his raised hand. Together they formed a handle that looked like it belonged to a sword. "And I knew he heard me"
The black demon's emerald eyes got larger as a small red dot appeared over the handle. It pulsed softly as it stretched out and with a strong flash it turned into a sharp pulsing blade. 'What is that! You can't form a sword! Not in my world!' it exclaimed.
Tsuzuki lowered the newly acquired sword and looked at it. "This sword is a gift from Byakko and Suzaku. I can summon their power whenever I want. But that wasn't the point" he said and pointed the sharp tip against the demon. "I know they survived because…"
Sabu frowned when the angel suddenly stopped moving and just looked down at the ground. 'Because?' it asked. This battle had just taken a more exciting turn now when the angel had decided to fight back. Sure it had been chocked when the bloody and torn angel had formed a blade in the thin air, but still.
Tsuzuki slashed the sword downwards the ground and suddenly rushed forwards. "BECAUSE THEIR SOULS AREN'T IN MY FINAL ATTACK!" he screamed.
Sabu grinned but the toothy grin fell quickly as it saw something. Rushing beside the angel was hundreds of misty forms. As the demon watched they became more firm and soon they looked like hundreds of humans coming it's way. When they were just a few meters away they even started to make roaring noises. The demon wasn't prepared when the big mass of people reached it. All it saw when it was struck down was sky blue eyes and blond hair before a white flash blinded the demon.
Tsuzuki wasn't really aware of the crowd around him. He knew they were there but didn't care. All his attention was stuck on the demon before him. Raising the sword he brought it down forwards Sabu.
'Let's do this together, Tsuzuki'

Watari watched the black haired boy in the corner. He felt bad for Hijiri. Le looked to his lover, who was staring out thorough the window. "How do you think he's doing? He hasn't said a word ever since we got back" he whispered to Tatsumi.
The brown haired man turned around to face the blond scientist. He looked at Hijiri and shook his head. "I think he is doing as good considering the situation. You were just like that when Shiro vanished. You might not have noticed it but you froze everyone out from your little world, even Tsuzuki" Tatsumi said and hugged Watari. "There is something I have thought about considering Muraki and Hisoka… but I must research into that before I can be sure"
Watari nodded. "Thanks, Tatsumi" he smiled and squeezed the brown haired man's hand.
Hijiri suddenly sat up from his slumped position. Emerald eyes darting left and right, he let them stay at the couple in the room. "Tsuzuki… is using something powerful. I can feel the energy beneath my feet. Can't you?" he asked.
Watari frowned and looked down at the floor. He could feel the pads of his feet getting warmer the usual and from time to time he saw a spark pop up from the floor. "Yeah! I wonder what he is using because I have never sensed something like this before. Not even when I was alive" he said and placed a hand against the floor.
Tatsumi nodded and rubbed his chin with one hand. Not even he could figure out what kind of attack Tsuzuki was using.
"Don't bother frying your brain over what the attack young Tsuzuki-san is using. That attack is forbidden here in the heavens"
Tatsumi, Watari and Hijiri looked over to the door and gasped. They could never have guessed that one of the old high angels had dragged himself over to Tatsumi's house.
"Sir! What are you doing here!" Tatsumi asked and rushed over to the old angel, helping him over to a chair.
The high angel shooed Tatsumi away. "You are acting like my wife. I'm fine even though I look like I will fall into pieces at any given time. Now, as I said, the attack Tsuzuki-san is using is forbidden so you can't possible have heard…"
"Awai enzeru houmentai" Hijiri said as he approached the high angel. "Am I right, sir?"
The old angel blinked and nodded. "So true you are, young one. Awai enzeru houmentai is forbidden because of the enormous energy it possesses. I have no idea how a young angel like Tsuzuki-san is able to use the attack but somehow he is using it like have done it before" he said and scratched his bearded chin. "I can't put my bony finger on it…"
Watari frowned. "You mean that no one has done this before? How can Tsuzuki then…" he started before he was cut of as a finger was placed on his lips by the elder.
The elder shook his head. "If no one has done the attack before how can we then know about it? The attack has been performed before. We high angels used the 'light angle army' several centuries ago. We were fighting a dark creature that managed to come into the heavens… I can't remember it's name…." the old man trailed of as he thought hard.
Tatsumi looked up into the ceiling. "Could the creature have been Banok the soul guider?" he asked. He had been working for the high ones ever since he shed his black wings.
The elder nodded. "That's it. He was the one that took you to earth and back? Grumpy fellow isn't he?" he asked.
Tatsumi nodded. If he had to like one of the high angels it had to be this one. Unlike the other old men he often came to talk to the children and newly arrived angels. This old man could smile like no one else and gladly shared his knowledge to all those who wanted to listen. Sighing Tatsumi pushed his glasses higher on his nose. "We can discuss about Banok later, for now I'm interested in Tsuzuki" he said and sat down beside Watari on his desk.
The elder nodded. "So right you are, lad. As I said, Tsuzuki-san is using a power he shouldn't be able to. A awai enzeru houmentai is nothing you just do like that. It takes a lot of power and knowledge to preformed such an attack" he said. "Where Tsuzuki-san got all that from I don't know…"
Hijiri tilted his head. "What is the 'light angle army'? I have heard of it before but I don't know what the attack is" he said and sat down on the old man's right side.
"The 'light angel army' is… how should I say this? … Ah! Angels that have a strong will and power can call forth an army of angels… or their souls to be more precisely. The angel can call forth as many angel's souls as he she wants and use them to defeat the opponent. The last time anyone used this attack it was Agali of the high angels. He used it to banish Banok from the heavens" the elder said and took a deep breath.
Hijiri leaned forward in his chair. "How long ago was that?" he asked. There was something that was bugging him.
The old man looked at the youth. "I believe it was… was… I'm terribly sorry, lad, I can't seem to remember how long ago it was but it was around the time before the gods left" he said and pointed to Watari. "Ask him about times and such. If anyone has read every script here in the heavens it's him. Even those he shouldn't even have gotten his hands on in the first place"
Watari blushed. "I can't help myself. I like to read"
Tatsumi sighed and placed a hand on his love's shoulder. "No one blames you that this world lacks a library"
The black haired teen shot up after a minute of silence. "Did Agali have any of the gods with him when he used the forbidden attack?" he asked the elder.
The old man nodded. "He had them all on his side at the moment. I guess the power went to his mind because during the attack Tohda took over. After that little war the gods accused us for betraying them and left" he said.
The emerald eyed boy smiled and looked out through the window. He could see that all the other angels in heaven was as confused about the strange energy as they had been. Angel children were quickly picked up and brought home to safety. "Then I know why Tsuzuki can use the attack. He has the gods on his side… and most importantly… the King of them All"
"What do you mean by that?" the elder asked.
Hijiri smiled. "I got Tohda before I went to earth to help Tsuzuki. Tohda promised to help Tsuzuki and if the forbidden attack is the only way to stop the devil I think Tohda will gladly use it. That's the reason Tsuzuki knows how to use the attack. Tohda is one with Tsuzuki"

The devil slammed the annoying phoenix head into the ground before flinging Byakko of his back. "GIVE UP YOU WORTHLESS ANIMALS! YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME! NOT NOW NOT EVER!" he roared. He had failed to notice the energy that was coming from betneth their feet.
Byakko shook his head and lifted himself onto his feet. 'Don't give up, Suzaku. We have to hold on' he said to the phoenix.
The fire bird got herself up into the air after a few tries. They were both tired and badly hurt but still there was some fighting left in them. 'I know. I just hope he comes back soon. I don't think we can hold on much longer. I gave Tsuzuki to much energy when he formed the sword' she admitted and turned back to the fight with the devil. Shrieking she called forth her flames to embrace Akuma. She wasn't all that surprised when her flames just seemed to bounce of the dark creature.
'Byakko, Suzaku, move away from the devil'
The two gods looked at each other before returning to the safety of Tsuzuki's mind.
Akuma looked a bit surprised when the two gods of heaven suddenly left his domain. A smirk covered the surprised look before a deep laugh echoed through the empty space. "YES! THAT'S RIGHT! LEAVE YOU COWARDS! LEAVE BEFORE YOU MEET YOUR DOOM! I SHALL OPEN MY PORTAL ONCE AGAIN AND NOTHING WILL STOP ME THIS TIME!" he roared and called forth his army of Slowaks and other demonic creatures. "Now my loyal ones, we shall invade the world above before heading for the heavens! Then we shall be in complete control over all worlds!"
The Slowaks and the other creatures cheered for their lord. They were thirsty for blood and wanted badly to sink their teeth into the angels that had imprisoned them under the ground. When the ground beneath their feet started to shake they grew quieter. "Lord?" they asked as the shaking grew in strength.
The devil looked down at the pitch black ground. "Ether Sabu is enjoying my little gift or something is wrong…" he said to himself. He could now feel the power beneath his feet and see small sparks jump over his feet like small dolphins. "And I bet that my last suggestion is the correct one" he said just as the ground gave away under him and his servants.
The ground buckled up before breaking apart to reveal the highest god of them all: Tohda. The gigantic dragon made the ground tremble with a mighty roar an headed up forwards the darkness above. When the long slim body emerged from the underground Tohda hovered above the massive group of vile creatures. From beneath his helmet Tohda spotted the devil. Lifting his head he called forth his flames that were a million times hotter hen Suzaku's. gliding along the 'ceiling' he ordered his flames to devour anything that moved.
The devil used one arm to cover his face from the hot flames. "Tohda! That is not possible! Tsuzuki didn't have him when he came here!" he snapped as he backed away from the flames that threatened to get him.
"It ends here"
Blood red eyes snapped up to see who had just spoken. Akuma couldn't believe his eyes.
Out from the hole left by Tohda came thousands of angels their pure white wings shone up the dark space as they emerged one by one. They stopped in mid air, hovering above the hole and stared at the devil.
Akuma stared with horror at the angels. He knew everyone of the every one of them. He had seen them before. The blond angel that was closest to him he knew the best. It was the boy Muraki had sent to him. Shiro was his name if he wasn't mistaken. He watched as the angels moved to the side and in the middle of the mass arose a new angel. Tsuzuki.
Tsuzuki was bloody and torn, his once pure white wings were almost featherless and dripping with red blood. His face was black and blue and blood seeped down his cheek from a gash in his forehead. His cloths hung loosely around his body as big holes marred them. The sword hung by his side in his loose grip. Lifting the sword he pointed the tip forwards the devil. "I'm back to hold my promise to my friends. I will imprison you for good" he said.
The devil backed away from the angel. "How could you survive? Sabu have never left anyone in one piece!" he screamed as he backed into a black stone pillar.
Tohda watched as each creature burned into dust by his flames. Roaring he circled above the group of angels, his power slowly pulsing into the sword Tsuzuki held. 'Now, Tsuzuki. Imprison this vile creature' he said through their mind link.
Tsuzuki charges so fast that the devil didn't stand a chance. Using all his strength the angel shoved the sword through the devil's chest and into the stone pillar behind him. The bloody angel panted as warm black blood pored over his hands. He fed the sword with Tohda's newly given energy, melting the blade's tip into the rock. He let go of the hilt and backed away from the now struggling devil. "This is your new prison. I hope you enjoy the emptiness because that is all you are going to see for the rest of eternity" he told the creature before him.
The devil chuckled as the sword slowly turned into stone. "You know that this world will kill everything that doesn't belong here and I will never die by this blade!" he snapped and chuckled deeply. "You think you have won but yet you haven't"
Tsuzuki shook his head. "I never once believed that you could die. I just made sure that you will never leave this place. You can't use your powers as long as that sword is within your body. As for my life? As I have said before: I'll gladly give up my life for the right thing" he said as the darkness started to embrace his battered body. "I have gotten my revenge. I'm happy" he finished as the darkness took him.
