Chapter eleven:
"I see." The God finally speaks after a few moments. "It seems that you have quite the path laid out for you."
Near slightly tilts his head not fully sure what to say to that.
"But we will get to that when the time is right. Young demon you will be of help for us. Is it possible to separate them?"
"They came here to come after me." Near tells the God. "They want to drag me back to Hell where I'll be in serious trouble. I snuck out before I was supposed to be allowed out."
"Alright. I will send two other angels to your location but for now you two will have to work together to try to help the situation. Hopefully before any mortals gets hurt."
"Where do we begin?" Matt dips his head loyally.
…
Beyond readies a fire ball that he tosses at Comely who dodges then before it can hit an orphan a ball of light shoots out destroying it. "What!?"
The three demons pause and glance around.
Near moves out from his hiding spot spreading his wings and flies quickly past them heading towards the back part of the orphanage.
"You won't get away!" Comely chases after Near spreading her wings to fly after him.
"Shit!" Beyond takes off after the two with Always following right behind.
Matt hurries around and jumps out of a window hurrying into the woods by swooping into the trees with a few flaps of his wings. He hurries to the meeting spot just in time to land on a thick branch to see Near below.
Near swoops up with a powerful flap of his wings hurrying into the tree and beside Matt.
Comely skids to a stop hovering just a little off of the ground by gentle flaps of her wings as she looks around for Near.
The two remain silent for now as Beyond and Always soon join Comely.
Comely turns to the two of them and they all pause when they realize that Near is nowhere to be seen.
Matt spots the other angels are in position and he prepares to swoop down while Near will watch from the tree. He swoops in with a flap of his wings and tackles Always while the other two angels tackle the other two demons. He mostly folds his wings back as he and Always roll on the ground a little. He is trying to prevent his wings from breaking when they roll. He grips onto Always's wrists trying to pin him down as they glare into each other's eyes.
Always suddenly smirks at him and shoves him off with great strength.
Matt tumbles backwards on the ground and before he can even try to get up he is pounced on. He glares up at Always who forces his arms down to the ground. He then smirks and with his palms curled into fists he quickly opens them sending out a flash of light.
Always jumps back with a slight screech as there's a sting. He is tackled again by Matt in the moment that he is blinded from the light. He thrashes in attempts to throw Matt off of himself though Matt holds on tightly arms around the demons neck. He gets an idea and slams Matt harshly into a tree.
Matt gasps and the shock from the heavy impact causes his grip to become loose enough that Always can easily slip away.
Which is exactly what Always does and as soon as there's a gap he spins around to face Matt with a glare.
Matt glares back at him and slightly wobbles to his feet getting ready for another attack.
Always charges again with flames around his hands as he slashes at Matt not caring if he lights anything on fire.
Matt on the other hand tries to avoid any area that might catch fire when he dodges. He doesn't want to start a forest fire especially not near an orphanage. He can only remember the most recent time a battle between a demon and angel caused a forest fire… A town had to be evacuated as the flames were so close people could see it…..
Comely is struggling against one of the other angels who is using the light of good on her hands to burn the female demon. She has to jump back because of it. She summons a pair of whips that with a slight flick of her hands it causes them to be lit on fire. She moves her arms shooting the sharp ends of the whips towards the angel.
The angel jumps back avoiding the attacks though is struck on one arm causing her to shout jumping back. She swipes an arm out across her body sending out a white slash speeding towards the demon.
Comely jumps to the side causing the attack to hit the trunk of the tree that was behind her.
The tree, after a glow sweeps over it for a moment, blossoms gaining fresh healthy fruit and all leaves turn the healthiest of green for a tree.
Matt causes Always to be backed up towards Comely.
The other male angel going against Beyond begins moving him towards the other two as well.
Always summons two chains into his hands that are lit on fire so each piece of the chain has its own flame. He throws one arm out sending the end of the chain not in his hand flying at the angel who dodges it. He lets the chain fall heavily to the ground managing to hit a rock so it only leaves a burn mark. He then does the same with the other chain and the angel dodges by jumping back only for the rock below to be destroyed.
Beyond turns bumping into Comely who glares at him. He then realizes that they are all together in this one spot. "Fucking shit." He curses and the other two seem to notice this as well.
The angels move to be side by side joining hands as they stand in a line. They point the palms of their free hands towards the demons. Together they shoot out a blast of white and light that heads straight towards the demons.
The demons do not join hands and just raise one hand each pointing them in the direction of the angels. They send a fiery blast of combined magic towards the angels blast.
Near gasps when he sees this. He knows that if they collide it could send out a destructive blast. "No!" He swoops down to right in between and just as he reaches the spot the two blasts hit him at the same time.
A loud boom slightly rocks the forest though the animals frozen in time are only either knocked over or moved a bit.
