Author's Comment: This is pretty much my first fanfic that I've ever done... and is actually a few years old. Despite the fact that it is a pokemon fic, it really doesn't have much to do with the world of pokemon as we know it. I've had alot of fans of this from my website, and one of them was actually the person to convince me to submit it here.

This one's a shortie too . The next one is much longer, I promise.

Please Critique and Comment? D

Ch 11: Truth Revealed

Sunset backed away slowly, Midnight following his example. They had no chance - not like this. Angel had already disintegrated a blast from Sunset, and Demon had stopped an attack from Spiny, only to send it back at her. Calculating the levels quickly, Sunset realized that Demon was already at a much higher level than both Midnight and himself combined. Glancing back at the group of young Eons behind him, he saw the bedraggled group they had brought. Then, there was Spiny, who was already down. They had no chance. Sunset growled a bit, then turned to look at Midnight, who seemed to be eagerly awaiting orders; hopefully orders that would take him away from this danger. Sunset gave a small grunt as Demon began to step towards them, the signal to retreat. A look of relief crossed Midnight's face as he stood by Sunset. As Demon sent a ball of energy towards them; together, both Midnight and Sunset teleported their group away from the cave.

Demon gave a growl. The chickens had run. He was into a good fight. He turned and looked at Eclipse, who was still half dazed, half scared that Demon was standing in front of her, and gave a slight smirk.

"Well, hello again," he said in an almost teasing tone. "Care to finish what we started?"

Eclipse gulped at this. Demon was Angel? How could her one friend be her worst enemy? She couldn't fight him now that she knew this. Besides that, she was too sick and tired now to fight anyway. Demon walked over to her until he hovered over her tired body and smiled evilly. "I won't miss this time, I promise."

Eclipse stared up at him fearfully. Why this, why now? Suddenly, she got that feeling again… "Ah…"

"Ah what?"

"Ah…"

Demon raised an eyebrow. "What are you trying to say, girl?"

"Ahhh…"

Demon suddenly realized what was going on. He started to duck, but Eclipse sneezed, sending an enormous ball of energy flying towards him. He was thrown into the wall, and sat there, in shock. The small, timid Umbreon sitting before him had that kind of power? His face darkened. Now he would have to destroy her. He raised his paws, creating an immense amount of energy between them, then suddenly keeled over in pain. What was stopping him from obliterating her? He held his head and howled out in pain. Stumbling around a bit, he finally fell down in front of Eclipse, unconscious.

Eclipse looked on in wonder, still unsure - things were happening too fast. She pulled herself over to the now-fallen Demon, and watched him. He may be Demon, but he was Angel too. That could be the only reason she was still alive right now. She began to stroke his back; like he had done to her earlier, and the darkened fur began to come off in her paws, revealing Angel's pure white fuzz. Her face brightened a bit and she continued to run her paw through his fur until the dark was almost gone, and there was Angel again… it was Angel. She breathed a sigh of relief as he began to stir.

His eyes fluttered for a moment, then opened quickly and he got up, looking around. "Where are they," he stated quickly. "Where did they go?"

Eclipse looked at him, confused. He didn't know what had happened? "They are gone… you chased them away."
Angel sighed and lay back down beside her. "Good…"

"Angel… you don't remember what happened?"

Angel looked at her, obviously stumped. " I… no, I don't. Why? Did I do something bad?"

Eclipse gulped back what she wanted to say. Should she tell him? It might be hard to take. "Well…" she stammered, "You… you changed." She glanced back down at the dark fur now lying on the floor of the cave and shuddered a bit. How would he take it?

Angel raised an eyebrow. "Changed? What do you mean?"

He noticed Eclipse looking at the cave floor and looked himself. "Whose fur is that?"

Eclipse's face turned. She had to tell him… he needed to know. "It's… yours."

Angel looked back at all of the fur on the floor. His was white, except for his rings and the tips of his tail and ears. Even at that, if he had lost it from those areas, with that much hair he'd be bald! He glanced back at Eclipse, whose face told him that she wasn't lying. "How could that be mine?"

"Like I said, you changed."

"Physically?"

Eclipse just nodded.
