The man continued to laugh. Duo sat there, coughing like a madman. "How could one such as you be the mighty shinigami?" he said mockingly. Duo stopped coughing. He looked up surprised. "Ho-how do you know such things?" Duo hissed. "Because I have been sent to capture the girl and kill you." he said bluntly. Duo stared at him as though he were crazy.
Duo suddenly felt an immense rage burst through him. He got up and began swinging in the man's direction. He dodged each attack as if they were only leaves in the wind. Then, duo began focusing more and tried to regain his composure. He began swinging faster and harder, the man sped up. It looked as though Duo was swinging at a mirage, it was like he wasn't moving.
Suddenly, the man disappeared. Duo looked for him but only to feel a punch land on his back. He fell forwards and before his knees even reached the ground the man swung his sword at Duos back. Duo felt an immense pain across his back. He laid there on the ground unable to move. The only thing he heard was the man's laughter. "Pathetic" the man said. "Even the girl put up more of fight than you but I hit her once in the stomach and she fell faster.
Duo's eyes widened greatly. "Na-Natasha..." the man turned around and began to leave. Duo quickly did a Russian leg sweep and knocked the man down. Duo got up off the ground and walked over to the man, "you don't hurt the ones I love." he said darkly. Duo picked up the man by his hair, his eyes were half closed in a daze. Duo punched him square in the jaw and sent him flying over the banister of the stairs. He waited for a crash but the sound never came.
He walked over to the railing and saw him floating there by his wings. His wings only flapped every now and again. The man smiled, "that all you've got? Or is there some other trick up your sleeve?" Duo looked down at the ground. The man looked puzzled. "I promised myself," Duo said, "that I would never become shinigami again. That promise was never broken, it was close, but never broken. I won't hold it back anymore." the man looked confused. "What the hell are you talking about?" he said. Duo looked up at eh man with a look of pure hate and malice. The man looked a little bit intimidated. Duo's body straightened and his muscles relaxed.
The man was sent flying through the wall, out to where the rest of the mob was. Duo landed near the base of the hole and walked out of it. As he walked out he pulled his trench coat off and saw his swords laying on the ground. He walked over and picked them up. His eyes turned a deep shade of black. Why are Duo's eyes black...shit! Wufei thought, "Guys! Duo's gone back to shinigami!" the others turned quickly and saw him. The whitefang men stood ready to fight, but had a look of sheer terror on their face.
Duo moved like lightning and hit each man and knocked him out of his way. The man in black armor stood up and saw him coming. He jumped up and flew into the air. He started to say a chant that no one could understand. A dark light shined from his hands. Duo looked up and saw the light, wondering what in deaths name that was. He kneeled to the ground and as he did something moved on his back.
A pair of giant black wings burst from his back. He stood up and ripped off was what was left of his shirt and threw it on the ground. He flew up to where the man was and gained speed quickly. He reared his fist back and readied to hit the man. The man opened his eyes in time to see Duo's fist hit him square in the nose.
The man spiraled back and the light dissipated from his hands. He gained control of himself and raised a hand in the air. "Demons! Release my blade so I may smite this evil!" in a blood red light, a sword appeared from it. He raced towards Duo and swung down with a mighty blow. Duo kicked the blade in the side and punched him In the chest. "I fight with deaths speed. Eternal darkness follows me. Death and destruction appear at my will. Now, darkness will consume you." Duo said darkly. He lifted the man by his throat with his left hand and in his right hand a sword appeared with a demonic glow.
"I am deaths messenger, his will and hands. I will give his judgment, my judgement unto thee." Duo said. Blood began dripping off the side of the blade. He dropped the man to the ground and thrust his sword through the man's neck. Duo's eyes slowly began turning back to their normal state. His wings did not change or go away however.
The mans armor began glowing and turned into a small black orb above the mans body. "This is the power of the dragons." a booming voice said. "This is the power of the dragon riders, the dragoons. The man you slain abused this power and hurt others and enriched himself." yufei approached Duo and whispered, accept the gift. Once you are chosen to be a dragoon you must accept it. You are charged with the protection of this power." Duo nodded. He kneeled down and said, "thank-you for this power you have bestowed upon me. I shan't abuse this power." The orb floated into duo's hands. "Yufei, how do you know so much about this.?" Heero asked.
"Because, " she said, "I myself am a dragoon." she said.
