Chapter 65: Release

Roxx landed a good hit, then came around and kicked me into the floor. I was losing power as he gained more, but where was it coming from?

The prophecy said he has no true form and when he gets his own form he'll be at full power. I can't let that happen.

I struggled to get up, but I could barely move now.

"You foolish child! You will die this day. No matter what form I chose, my power increases because it is one step closer to my true form!"

"I don't care what form you chose, I will defeat you!"

"Really? Then how about this?" he changed, the first time I ever saw him change. It was gross, to say the least. All of his skin melted off and his muscles rearranged themselves as he skin grew back.

"You bastard!" I snapped. His new form was Mirai No Trunks.

"I know of your feelings toward this one. You won't fight me because I look like him."

"My love would never attack me, so I can attack you. You're not my Mirai No Trunks."

"So that's how it is? Your desire to destroy me is stronger than your love for this form." I got up, shaky but angry with Roxx.

"You don't get it. You are not my love. You may look and sound like him, but your aura and soul are still the same. You even have the same putrid stink." He blasted me on the spot, throwing me into the back wall. I slid down to the floor, a large gash on my leg and a crack in my upper arm bone from the feel of it.

"Now you're time is come." Roxx stepped closer and closer as I tried to get up, but even if I was still in SSJ2 form I wouldn't be able move.

"No!" Sarah moved in front of me.

"Sarah, …what are you doing?" I was gripping my arm in pain as I spoke, but she barely even glanced at me.

"Foolish elf, you dare interrupt my kill?"

"Lord Roxx, I beg of you, spare her!"

"I spare no one. I did you, and now you have betrayed me." He took his index finger and blasted Sarah strait threw the chest.

"Sarah, no!" I crawled over to her, but she was dead before she hit the ground.

"Now that the distraction is gone, I'll kill you."

"You killed her. You really killed her." I hit the floor with my fists, tears welling up, reaching the breaking point, "She was just trying to spare you. She respected you, that's why she helped me. She hoped that if you could see that there was someone stronger than yourself then you'd stop this useless killing." I was crying, tears falling freely now. "Now you die!" I felt something grow inside of me as I continued. "You killed my family, and took away my home. You turned my new family into statues, but my spirit will never be broken!"

Some new power was coursing through my body, through my very blood.

Call to me, Katie! You're so close!

"Angel Sayjin powers, I call upon you, release my Inner Light!"

A light emanated my body, and I felt my body changing as I stood up. I was nearly floating off the ground as my power seemed to grow even more than that of SSJ3 or any other SSJ form from the feel of it. Something was changing in me, and my body was changing as well. Something burst through my body, like a nuclear explosion on the inside. I felt rainbow-colored wings, like those of an eagle, grow out of my back. My hair grew, long and out of my bun that was still set. Light covered my body in a silky sheet.

"What are you doing? What is this transformation? What has happened to you!" Roxx screamed.

I didn't answer as all the injuries I had thus far healed at once. I took in a deep breath with fresh and healed lungs.

"My destiny is fulfilled. Love was the key to releasing my Inner Light. I don't know why I didn't see it before. Thank you, Sarah. I pray your soul will rest in peace."

The power was so great; I could barely feel myself anymore. All the elements were at my disposal. Fire, water, light, dark, ice, wood, air, earth, metal, and electricity were at my beckon call. I could feel all ten inside me, waiting for their chances to fight.

"You have become the Angel Sayjin? Impossible!"

"Never underestimate the impossible. You'll get burned that way. That gives me a great idea." I formed a Ki ball, but not exactly a Ki ball. It was a ball of flames, and as I touched it with curiosity, it didn't burn. "I touch the flames, and it freezes me. I wonder what it will do to you?" I threw it at him, and he did his best to dodge, but instead it caught his legs and spread across his body. By the time the flame was out his whole body was burnt from the waist down. "You burned me this morning, and now I've burned you."

"Fire is my element of choice, you'll have to try something different." Roxx said with a smirk. His expression reminded me of the reason why I was fighting; my Sayjin brethren were in danger, as was the rest of reality as we know it.

"Thanks for the tip." I charged, using my wings instead of Ki to fly at him, and we began to fight. I was still having trouble fighting him.

I'm holding back, even now. Its not enough, I haven't fully released my true power. Love is the key, and I need to use it.

I let go of my fears and doubts still in my mind. If I fight at full power I can defeat him, but I need to get there first.

I jumped up into the air and threw rays of light like spears, hitting him and throwing him back.

"You're a clever fighter, but now playtime is over!" he powered up even more, and three spears of darkness at me. I used a Ki shield, enhanced with light energy, to block, but the force of his attack threw me back. I fell over, onto my stomach, and I strained to get up. I could barely get up onto my elbows.

"I refuse to give up!"

"Its futile. Even as the Angel you can't stop me!"

"That's what you think." I said, staring to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"You're at full power. I'm not. I'm not even at half."

"What!"

"Damn you!" Lady Roxx called. It was then that I noticed her necklace. A bright red stone, glowing as her Lord attacked me.

The necklace has something to do with this fight. It must be helping Roxx somehow. I have to do something to get the advantage, and destroying that may just be what I need to do.

Ignoring Roxx, I sent a burst of electricity at the necklace, causing it to implode. The necklace caused a void to open, and it started to suck up everything in its path. Then Lady Roxx screamed as she was sucked into the void caused by her necklace. Before it could do anymore damage, I closed the void with my Ki.

"You fool! That woman was the key to your survival." Roxx called as he laughed devilishly.

"What do you mean by that? Don't you care about her at all?"

"She was an incarnate of myself, as are all the creatures in my dungeon. Monsters and failed experiments. That stone could only be broken by the true Angel, and inside it was the key to my true form."

Well that settles the question if I was the real Angel or not, but now I'm in big trouble.

Roxx's eyes were wild as his body started to change. It was convulsing and changing, looking like a blob of organs and tissue.

He started to take shape, up and tall, out and broad. His skin turned white, like Freiza's skin color, and he looked very sleek. He had horns around his head, looking like a crown, and his tail grew out and long like a scorpion. His hands and feet were like claws.

"This form is to my liking." He said once he was finished.

"Its not to mine!" I charged at him, but he simply backslapped me away. I was down again, on my stomach, but not out yet. I charged again, grabbing hold of him and throwing us both out of the castle, through the roof. It was night outside.

I backed off, seeing the damage I hoped I had inflicted. But to my horror I noticed he had not a single mark on him.

In an instant he was on me. One hand tight around my throat, just shy of choking off my air supply. The back of his other hand was stroking my face.

"You are such a beautiful girl. I'm bored with this dimension, and with you dead I can be free to do as I please. There will be no more threat of an Angel stopping me."

"Even if you kill me, I won't rest. I will come back for you." I spat on his face, angering him.

"Fool!" he brought his other hand and started to squeeze my throat tight. Nothing, no one was going to save me now.

Forgive me, everyone. I can't fight him anymore. He's too strong, even for an Angel.

My vision was completely out, and I felt my body stop working. My lungs went first, then I felt my heart stop, and finally I sank into darkness.
