To Kill An Angel: A Fanfic by Gyppy
Timeline: Based 2 years after "Rising Shadow"
Summary: After Nebilim's shadow was sealed away once more, Lloyd thought that they could all finally enjoy peace. However, he could not have been more wrong...
Two old servants of Nebilim, half-elven females who had once worked for the treacherous Dark Lord, set out to stop Lloyd and his allies. Their first target: the Eternal Swordsman's father himself.
Pairings: LloydxColette and SheenaxZelos primarily, with hints at GenisxPresea, SelesxOC and minor KratosxRaine. There will also be some PronymaxYggdrasill.
Author's Note: This is my sequel to Rising Shadow. It's gonna be quite a bit different from my usual fanfiction, though.
First of all, in case you're too lazy to go back and read Rising Shadow or if you just forgot the details, Abyssion was the main character in my previous fanfic, and Nebilim (the form you fight in the game) is his arch-rival. Abyssion has a younger brother, Leviathan, who falls for Seles (hence the SelesxOC). This fanfic focuses more around Lloyd, however. Colloyd and Sheelos will be the primary pairings.
And now, for the warnings. As with most T-rated fanfics on this site, there will be swearing, violence and some references to sex. The rating may go up later if I decide to pull a Lifelong Promises later on in the fic.
Also, as a side note, those of you who have read Difficult Journey (Rising Shadow's Kraine sidestory) will know that Kratos and Raine are officially a pairing in this storyline. However, there will be very few references to the pairing in the actual storyline. There may be a few Kraine moments, but I understand that there are many people who would hurt or even kill me for making Kraine references in a supposedly canon fic. I personally enjoy the pairing, and if you hate it, so be it. Don't be reading a Kraine supporter's fanfiction if you dislike the pairing. Got it?
As a side note, text like 'this' is in a flashback/dream or a voice in someone's head. Got it?
Thank you very much for the review(s).

Chapter 7: Destruction
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Katrina's anger would not easily be appeased. She wandered about Symphonia, searching for things to destroy. The first thing she aimed for was Iselia; she burned that village to the ground and killed the survivors.
Next was Triet. After discovering it was difficult to destroy the city without coming under attack, she moved on to Izoold, which had the same difficulty. She took a boat across the ocean from Izoold, and eventually landed in Palmacosta, which she razed without fail.
Next, she headed north to Asgard. Finding nothing of use to destroy there, she turned to Luin, and burned it to the ground as well. After having taken out her demonic frustrations, she decided to return to Niflheim.
But she soon discovered that she had lost the book. Without the book, she'd have to go to her base near Flanoir to contact Nebilim.
In her mind, there were played repeatedly three simple words.
Damn it all...

Yggdrasill glanced wordlessly at Pronyma, who had entered his room yet again. As much as he hated to admit it, he had taken a liking to her, and no longer minded her being in his room.
"You're late," the seraph said, his tone abnormally calm.
"I had some issues to take care of," Pronyma said. "Excuse me. I've been looking for you for quite some time."
"I see," Yggdrasill said. Then, he quietly allowed the ex-Desian to settle down next to him.
He stared at her. It's amazing how good she looks with her hair down...
He shook his head, trying to snap his mind out of it. But she caught on, and looked at him.
"I apologize for my insolence," Yggdrasill said. "It's just that... I've been meaning to ask you a question for some time now."
"As you wish," Pronyma stated calmly.
"Why do you keep staying in my room?" Yggdrasill asked, tilting his head. "I mean, you have your own perfectly good room you could stay in..."
Pronyma shuddered. She knew why she stayed in his room, but she didn't want to tell it to him yet... so she just remained perfectly silent, save for her heavy breathing.
"I'm sorry about that," Yggdrasill said. "I think I might've shocked the words out of you."
Calmly, the seraph reached over and touched Pronyma's face. The half-elf jerked, not having expected the gesture.
"I didn't mean to startle you," Yggdrasill said, frowning ever so slightly. "But I'm sure I've figured you out by now."
Pronyma continued to stare at Yggdrasill wordlessly, shaking her head slowly. This is not true...
Suddenly, Yggdrasill pulled her into a kiss, one that shocked her almost out of her wits. He noticed this, and quickly parted from her, more words being conveyed in his expression than his voice.
"I'm sorry," the seraph said. "I didn't mean to-"
"Enough of this," Pronyma finally said, sounding impatient. "Tell me. Why did you just pull that stunt on me?"
"Because I..." Yggdrasill hesitated, as was to be expected. "...because I... love you."
Pronyma seemed shocked for a second, and then smiled. "I don't think the feeling's one-sided either."
And with that, their lips met in a fierce, passionate kiss, one that made them fight for dominance over the other, one that burnt through the very heart and soul of both comrades.
When they parted at last, they both bore grins on their faces.
It had taken him four thousand years, but Yggdrasill had finally found love.

"Dammit," Katrina said to herself. "I lost the Book of Niflheim. Now there's no way I can fulfill Lord Nebilim's wishes!"
"Don't worry, my dear," Nebilim's voice called from the projector. "I'm pretty sure those lowly angels won't be able to get their hands on the book anyhow."
Katrina looked at the projector, confused. "Why?"
"I've sealed it," Nebilim replied. "If they want to destroy the book, they have to go to the ground of the Tower of Destruction, where no mere human can go."
Suddenly, a smirk crossed Katrina's face. "And I'll meet them there when I do..." Then, her smirk faded. "Camille died in Vinheim. The human ran her through with the Flamberge."
"The human," Nebilim said to himself. "She must be talking about Lloyd..." Then, he looked up. "Execute Lloyd, if you can. Destroy the Flamberge and the Vorpal Sword. Camille's soul will be freed into Niflheim if you can do that."
"As you so desire, my lord," Katrina said. "I'll be the second highest ranking demon in Niflheim in no time at all!"
"Say what you wish," Nebilim said, laughing evilly. "I doubt you'll be able to surpass me."
"Surely I'll be able to surpass Haki," Katrina said. "If I can do that, will ya let me in?"
"Duh," Nebilim muttered. Katrina grinned.

Author's Note: Yggnyma rocks! Anyone who agrees, raise your hand! XD
(nobody raises their hand)
Gah, guess I'm the only Yggnyma fan out here... dammit...
Anyway... yeah. Sorry about the lack of updates. I got my hands on my old Gundam Wing DVDs again, and I'm watching them like crazy. Not to mention I'm rather blocked on this story. x.x
Haki is the Hell Knight, or at least my name for it. Y'know, that guy from the 10th floor of Niflheim. Damn, I hate that place...
Things are gonna get rough for the angels now. Ya think they'll be able to hold out?
