Angel pulled way from Gokai. This time she had gotten a lot closer to the bastard, but the two body guards had started to fire at her, forcing her to pull back. She drew back in front of Emeraldas yet again. Her white fangs bared towards them.

"Where did you get that kinda courage from?" Gokai grinned before he suddenly heard the ship coming.

"Oh I see..." He smiled and nodded to his body guards. "Take care of our uninvited guest. I will not be disturbed now. Not now that I am so close." Gokai growled. His two guards nodded and ran back to the ship. Out from the end of the black ship, a dark blue smaller ship came. The two ships took of and disappeared in the woods. Just as the Cosmo Wing came into sight, Gokai grinned. Angel whined low and tried to send out a silent warring to Tochiro but yet again her mind speak did not came through. As Tochiro took another round around and tried to land in the small clearing in the woods, then suddenly the black ship appeared and nearly shot of one of Tochiro's planes wings. As Tochiro pulled back up, Emeraldas got a look at her love. She forced herself up standing and her eyes were looking to the ship, with hope in her eyes.

"Tochiro..." She said looking at the dog fight over them. Angel growled and looked back down at Gokai. Gokai growled seeing the hope in Emeraldas eyes, and pushed down the button on the control, making Emeraldas cry out in pain and fall to the ground, twisting in pain again.

"Emeraldas!" Angel cried next to her. Angel turned looking to Gokai with her eyes filled with hate, as he let go of the button. Emeraldas sat on her knees holding her right hand to the ring and struggled to breathe. Her body shook both because the after shocks of the ring, and the pain.

"Bastard, you'll pay for this." Angel growled towards him and started to move towards him. First a little slow but then she speeded up. Not giving the man the chance to defend himself, or so she hoped, before suddenly he pointed his gun to her and shot. Angel saw the shot just in time to throw herself to the side. The shot strifed her cheek as she did, and she rolled on the ground landing hard. She stood back up growling angry as he felt her blood run down from the cheek. Gokai grinned and looked to Emeraldas.

"This guardian of yours don't know when to quit, does she? Well then I'll just finish this of quickly my queen, and I can get back to giving you a good time then." he laughed. Angel lifted her head confused by the man's strange words. She looked over to Emeraldas. Emeraldas still looked pale but it where the look in Emeraldas eyes that worried Angel. No one else would probably notice it, but Angel knew Emeraldas probably better than anyone and she saw the few seconds her eyes showed fear, as Gokai moved towards her. Angel snared angry and jumped in front of Gokai again, blocking his way to Emeraldas, snaring angry.

"Back of! Don't even think of coming any closer!" She growled stepping in front of him, covering Emeraldas again.

A sudden explosion over them made all three of them look up. It came smoke from the small blue ship but the explosion they had heard, had come from Tochiro's Cosmo Wing. It came bad smoke from the ship but it were still flying. Even now it was under heavy firing from the black ship.

"Tochiro..." Emeraldas gasped in pain and worry. Angel whined low as she saw this but as she turned her look back to Gokai, she bared her fangs angry again. Gokai was grinning like he had already won.

"Looks like your hope for freedom has failed you, my queen. I told you, you belong to me now." He laughed. Angel could feel how her friend's blood boiled up in hate. Angel's blood boiled as well.

"Emeraldas does not belong to anyone." Angel growled. Gokai laughed.

"Oh? That would be true, if I had not already broken down a good part of your master's soul then. She belongs to me alright, as I am the one that took it from her." He laughed, as he lifted his head to the sky, laughing out loud. Angel did not believe him, before she suddenly could feel a wave of shame come over Emeraldas. She turned and saw the look of fear Emeraldas had. Angel looked first confused before she finally relized what had happened down in the prison. He had not gotten to break her completely but he had gotten damn close. Angel stood with her back turned to Gokai and her whole body shook.

"Hehe, looks like you realized what I have won." He laughed as he saw her shaking.

Angel turned her head to him and he froze to the spot. Her dark blue eyes glowed in a dangerous light that she had never had before. She turned around towards him and now it would seem her white fur had taken on a dark light. She snared in a new more wild tone than before and her white fangs shined.

"What the?" Gokai said as he saw this.

"Angel..." Emeraldas gasped, seeing the change in her friend. Angel had never before become so angry as she was now. Emeraldas had heard of how protective the wolfs were of those close to them and how protective the females were especially. Angel snared and jumped strait at Gokai. The man had to pull back and he fired a few shots believing Angel would jump away from it, but the wolf came strait at him this time. to Gokai's surprise, who believed he knew every ting Angel would do, Angel did nothing like she usely did.

Angel could not feel anything but her anger and her hate towards this man, she had had fallen under her instincts, her mind were sort of turned of and everything was just driven by her instingts. Gokai were forced back and Angel suddenly got hold of his left arm. She forced hin into the ground and bit down hard, sinking her fangs deep into his flesh. Gokai cried out in pain and hit Angel over the head with the hilt of his gun. As the hard hit made contact on her head, Angel let go of his arm and pulled back snaring angry. Gokai shot a few shots making her back of a bit. That was enough for him to get back up again. Angel snared and moved towards him again. Her dark blue eyes glowed in hate.

Suddenly Emeraldas screamed out in pain again, ripping Angel back to herself again. Gokai stood holding the button down hard. Emeraldas gasped of air and her whole body shook. Her neck hurt as the ring got hotter by the second and burned her skin. She held to the ring trying to pull it of, even as much as it hurt to hold to it.

"Stopp it!" Angel screamed seeing her friend in such pain. Gokai looked like he had lost it and seemed mad.

"You don't think I will kill her? It would be a shame to do so, but if I cant break her and made her mine, then no one else will. Now pull back!" He screamed to Angel. Angel growled but stared to pull away from him. She stood now as far away from him, as she did from Emeraldas. He let go of the button and Emeraldas gasped for air, as she looked to angel with sorrow in her eyes. Angel whined low seeing the look in her eyes. Angel looked up. Tochiro was still in trouble with the two ships and had his hands full as well.

"Don't move, don't even show your fangs, or I will kill her on the spot!" Gokai said breathing hard, but he seemed to calm down.

"Well then my queen. Look closely now." Gokai said. It seemed that he had regained his cool and smiled like he had won again. "This would be the last moments of your guardian friend. The last hope for your freedom. After this then you belong to me, completely." He laughed. He turned his look to Angel again.

"Now then, when I pull the trigger now, I will kill a big part of Emeraldas spirit. Are you ready?" He laughed and aimed his gun to Angel.

"Don't move or I will kill your precious master." He ginned and held the control up. Angel growled. She would not move, without the bastard killing Emeraldas, but if she did nothing, she would die and Emeraldas would be back in his hands.

"Lighting... Keikai... Looks like I will not get to met you again, my loved ones." She whispered out to her family, she was not sure if they had heard her or not. She looked to Emeraldas and smiled faintly.

"I'm sorry Emeraldas, looks like I failed." She said to her in mind speak. Emeraldas looked to her with fear in her eyes.

"Angel..." She said gasping hard.

"Are you ready?" Gokai laughed. Angel looked back at him and growled to herself. He laughed and started to pull the trigger. Angel smiled suddenly.

"Sorry, Emeraldas, forgive me." She said and ran towards her.

"What the?" Gokai yelled and started to push the button down. To his, as well Emeraldas shock, Angel jumped over Emeraldas and sunk her fangs down around her neck. As her fangs touched her skin, the ring burned up, making Emeraldas gasp out. Angel could feel the currents going through her, as she held on to the ring as well, yet she just sunk her fangs harder around it. Angel stood with her masters neck between her jaws and bit down hard. Emeralds were choking, as the ring seemed to tighten around her neck.

Angel... are you trying to kill me? So be it I will rader be killed quickly between your jaws, then slowly by this cursed ring, and especially rader than being alive as his broken down doll. Emeraldas thought as she looked to her friend. She closed her eyes accepting her fate. Angel could hear her but did not answer. Gokai did not let go of the button, believing Angel would be forced to let go, but Angel closed her jaws even more. Emeraldas could feel the metal ring tightened even more.

Suddenly the metal ring around her neck broke in half. The strain on it as Angel had closed her fangs around it and pulled it closer together, as well as the fact that he was using it at that point, made it break at the lock. Emeraldas gasped out as the ring losend and fell to the ground. Angel fell to the ground still holing on to the ring. Gokai cursed as he saw what had happed. Angel had lost her consigns, as the ring had nearly killed her.

"Angel! Angel! Answer me!" Emeraldas sat next to her, shaking the wolf, while calling her. The wolf suddenly moved a little and looked painfully up at Emeraldas.

"Did it work? Are you okay?" She asked, with worry in her glassy eyes.

"Yes, it's off. You got it of me." Emeraldas said bending over her friend, glad to she she was still alive.

"Curse it all! Then I will kill the both of you!" Gokai cursed seeing so much of Emeraldas spirit coming back to her. He pointed his gun to Emeraldas. She looked angry towards him, but both her and Angel was in no shape to do anything about it. As he started to push down on the trigger, a new sound where heard from behind him.

Suddenly the ground around Gokai exploded in fire. Tochiro passed over them seeing what was happening and had fired a round of shots towards him.

"Tochiro!" Angel called happy as she saw the Cosmo Wing pass over them, and took down the black ship. Now he only had the blue one left.

"Bastard!" Gokai growled as he stood up. He had not been serious wounded but he had a few deep wounds now. Angel forced herself up on her feet again.

"Only for a few moments. If I can stall for a few moments more, then Tochiro can finish up with the guards." She said forcing her sore and wounded body forward.

"Angel..." Emeraldas said and tried to stand up as well, but her body would not listen to her. Every part of her body hurt and she felt so weak. The juice in her wanes, worked like a poison in her body.

"Tochiro will help. Trust him." Angel said and growled angry, before she jumped towards Gokai. Moving towards him from the front, she ducked out of the way, as he shot a shot towards her. Pulling quickly to her left side she came towards him again, jumping back as he shot towards her again. She did this a few times, until she was close enough. Skidding to a stop, she threw a lot of dust in his eyes, and jumped over him, throwing him to the ground. She sunk her fangs into his shoulder and pulled away from him again. Gokai growled and stood up again. His eyes glowed in hate, as he aimed his gun towards Angel again. As she tired to move away, her body suddenly gave in and she sunk to the ground, gaping for air.

"Angel!" Emeraldas called, seeing her friend sink together like that. She tired to stand up, but her body would not move an inch. She struggled enough, just keeping sitting upright.

Author's note:

Sorry for the long wait on this one. I ran into a serious writer's block this time and finally I got out of it. Hope this sounded okey... I feel pretty good about it so far.

Feel free to tell me how I did.
