Chrono Crusade Love Forever

Chapter 2: Binding Power

Chrono held onto the handle of the door for dear life, as Rosette rushed to the scene, not paying attention if there were any pedestrians, or stop lights sometimes. Az almost fell out of the car and held a hand over her mouth.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad," Rosette said, laughing and patted Az on the back. She gulped. Chrono also looked a little dizzy, but got out of the car, which was unharmed surprisingly. Chrono was amazed, since Rosette had been driving like a maniac. But that was normal for her. Chrono smiled. He wished everything could be like it had been five years ago, when everything was like a dream. Now it seems everytime that they go on a mission something horrible happens that he wants to forget. Rosette looked at him, worried.

"Let's go, we have to see the people in charge, right?" Chrono asked, smiling. He noticed her worried expression, of course. Rosette smiled.

"Yeah, although most of the time I nearly run into them when we arrive," Rosette smirked. Az gasped. "Oh, don't worry, I haven't killed anyone yet," Rosette said, laughing. Az almost fainted. Chrono laughed. Rosette was glad that Chrono was a little bit more cheerful. Chrono suddenly felt a presence. He dashed around a corner.

"Chrono?" Az asked. Rosette followed him, knowing what this might be. Chrono stopped, his eyes widened as he saw what was before him. Bloody corpses of the ones that they were supposed to meet. A bird swooped down in front of them. It's eyes glowed red.

"Aion!" Chrono cried. Rosette fell on her knees, tears in her eyes. She clutched the pocket watch. Az came around the corner and gasped. She fainted at the horrible sight. There were even some towns people in the mess of blood and flesh.

"Damn you Aion! Why did you do this?" Rosette asked, still shocked. Aion laughed.

"To taunt you, Rosette Christopher. That is my life's purpose after all. I am a devil, it's what we do. So I guess this makes Chrono a human?" Aion asked, laughing some more. Chrono's eyes started to glow as well. Sparks flew from the watch around Rosette's neck.

"Chrono! Stop! We'll deal with this some other way," Rosette said, and with this Chrono's eyes reverted back to normal, but his emotions did not. He wanted to kill Aion now more than he ever did. This would be the last time that he mess with human lives.

"Rosette, we have to fight Aion somehow. I don't know any other way to do that, but he must be stopped," Chrono said, clenching his fists. Rosette nodded and went over to Az, who was still unconcsious and shook her gently.

"What?" She asked when she awoke. Rosette smiled.

"It's okay, let's go somewhere else," Rosette stated. Chrono blinked. Where did she have in mind? The devil that they were fighting now was Aion, not some random demon. This had to be planned out carefully, otherwise they will not survive.

Lina: End of chapter 2! Yay!

Chrono: Not a whole lot of angst in this one.

Lina: Nope, but the next one will be! Hehe. Ja ne!
