Chapter. 11

Raven stood up and shook her head. When her vision cleared she watched Lance's battle with the nova. "That mist..." The dark mist around Lance's back was thick, Raven tightened her hold on her god arc. "Coma on Lance. Change, you're almost there." Lance was struke with a large orb of energy and sent flying back.

Torri came down from her griffin to challenge the nova, when it turned to her Torri fell to her knees screaming.

"Snow!" Raven ran her hand along her scythe blade. "Ready?" The blade's color changed to a dark red and started dripping blood. Raven held up her god arc and the blade burst apart, five scythe blades rose up and hovered over Raven, connected to her arc by chains, all made of blood.

"Get away from her!" Raven waved her arc and the scythe blades lunged at the nova, each one bouncing off. Raven waved the arc again, this time the blades pressed against the nova's side and lifted the aragami. Raven spun around swung her arc, the nova was hurled through the air and crashed into the cliff side.

"You okay?" Raven looked over her shoulder to see Torri stopped holding head and was breathing hard. The nova stood up and roared as it charged at Raven. "No way!" Raven thrusted her arc at the nova. The blades joined together and flew into the nova's face. The sudden stop made the nova flip onto it back.

Raven held up her arc then brought it straight down. The blades went up together and stabbed into the nova's stomach. The blades weren't cutting the nova's body, Raven spun her arc around for the blades to keep slashing at the nova.

The nova roared to summon lighting to force the blades away and get back on its feet. "Okay, no more mercy!" Raven's blades grabbed onto the nova by its front leg then raised it into the air. Raven lowered her arc and the beast was slammed into the ground. Raven raised her arc again and waved it to her right, throwing the nova into a stone wall. Raven waved her weapon to her left and dragged the nova along the stones and hurled into the cliff side again.

After throwing the nova Raven raised her left hand to the side of her head as it felt like it was being spit open. "Raven slow down!" Hearing Snow Raven touched her upper lip and found blood. "You're at you're limit and you still haven't hurt it! What is this thing!?"

"I can do this!" The nova roared as five pink crystal spear appear. As they flew to Raven she used her blades to block them, the spears exploded and destroyed her blades, raining blood. Raven fell to one knee as the pain in her head grew worse.

The nova walked towards Raven and was tackled in the side by Eve. "Eve, NO!" The aragami slashed at each other with their claws, though only Eve was the one taking any damage.

As the battle raged on outside Lance struggled to get out of the wall but his body refused to move. "Damn it! Come on! Tricia, Magnus! Help me!"

"They're all gonna die. They'll die if you don't help them."

"Magnus!"

"If trying, I need your help! I need more power!" A thought came to Lance. "Snow said something about more power. what is it?"

"You need to get angry."

"I am angry!"

"You can't do anything. They'll die because of you."

"Magnus stop it!"

"Keep that thought in your mind, think of the beast that will eat everything you love."

"I won't let that happen."

"It will happen." Lance struggled to get free. "Are you angry?" A dark mist formed around him. "Get angry!"

Gold sparks lit up in the mist as Lance pulled his arms free. He pressed his arcs against the wall and pushed himself free. Lance jumped off the wall and landed on his feet. "I won't let you..." Lance was seething as he locked his gaze on the nova as it slapped away Eve. "I won't let you." His body was shacking as the mist was forming around his back. "I won't let you!"

Raven and the nova spun around to see Lance, the Gods Eater's body was shacking as gold sparks began to spiral around int the dark mist behind him.

"Come on, almost there!" Raven held her hands together in prayer.

Alisa wake up and looked around to see everyone was down and the darkness around Lance. "What's happening?"

"See the nova? That's the beast that will kill your family, the source of your anger." Lance's Arms were shacking violently. "Gather your anger and unleash it! Give in to your rage!"

Lance held up his god arcs and swung them down as he screamed into the sky. Gold light burst out from Lance's back, when the light faded a gold ring hovered behind Lance. The ring broke in half and spike grew out with sparks of gold and black sputtering out between them. On the outside of the ring halves three long gold and black wings sprouted.

Kota and Soma regained consciousness to see the gold and black behind their leader. "What's that?" They both asked.

Raven sighed in relief. "He did it. Blood rage."

The nova roared at Lance who only gave the monster a side glance. The nova conjured more crystal spears and fired them at Lance. Lance stepped up to face the nova's attack. "Father run!" Shouted Torri.

Lance held his ground and deflected each spear with his blades. Lance started walking towards the nova, then run, then sprint to his enemy. The nova roared but Lance was on it in a second and struke it in the side of the head with his left arc. "Shut up and die!" The nova raised it's paw to bring it down on Lance. The dual wielder raised his right arc and deployed the shield to block. Harsh winds blew from the attack but Lance held fast. "Try harder!" Lance shoved the paw away and attacked with the same arc.

Lance bashed his arcs against the nova's head even though none of his attacks were hurting it. "Die! Die!" Lance hammer on the nova with his blades, each hit knocking its head on the ground. The nova tries to back away but Lance keeps up wouldn't let up. "Just die damn you!"

As Ren continued to watch the more fearful he grew of Lance then the nova itself. His hands had gone numb from watching the nova beat down the first unit, now he felt like he was going to vomit from the fear. "Lance. You're no man or monster, but a demon."

Though the nova wasn't getting hurt it was losing ground fast. The aragami howled to summon a field of electricity around it. The attack shocked Lance causing him to stop his attack, when it finished Lance still stood his ground as smoke rose from his body. "Not, good enough!" Lance again attacked the nova.

The beast slammed its head into Lance to shove him back then created an orb of red energy to throw at Lance held up his arcs with their shields out. Taking the attack head on Lance stopped it and shoved it back at the nova. The sphere struck the nova but it to did no damage.

"I will be whole again."

"Shove it!"

Lance leaped several feet into the air with his arcs over his left shoulder. Lance screamed as he descended on the nova and struke it in the head with both of his blades. Everyone watched with baited breath when they saw a crack in the nova's head.

The nova swung its paw and lance jumped back to evade. Lance's legs were shacking, he dropped his weapons as the gold and black wings faded away. "Nothing, is invisible." Lance fell to one knee and then lost consciousness as he dropped face first into the snow.

The nova roared to the sky in victory then slowly walked to Lance. Torri stood up and fired at the nova with both of her arcs but to no effect. The nova glanced to Torri and cased a loud ringing in her head. "Stop! No!" The nova stood over Lance and held up it paw to crush him.

A dark mist from on top of a building and as it faded a familiar girl appeared. A pulse came from her body and the nova stopped to look at her.

Soma used his god arc to get up to his knees. "No, you... you can't be..."

Kota squinted to see. "How'd you..."

Alisa pushed herself up to looked. "It's really... really her!"

"Who is that?" Asked Raven.

Torri felt her head clear then felt a tug to the girl. "Why does she feel so familiar?"

"Another monster?" Thought Ren.

The girl fell off the rooftop and landed on her hands and knees. She stood up and faced the nova as it roared at her. Another pulse came from the girl and pushed then nova back. The nova jumped over a wall and ran off. the girl looked up to the sky and turned into a dark mist, floating up to the moon.

Torri stood up and ran to Lance. "Father? Father!?"

Raven dashed to Torri's side to check on Lance. "He's still breathing. He needs rest, I'll call for help." Raven reached into Lance's coat to find his phone. "Good, he has the den on speed dial."

Ren stepped out into the open and looked at all the defeated Gods eaters. "What was that thing?"

Torri saw Ren and stood up, she ran to Ren and slapped him across the face. Ren fell to the ground from the slap. "Where were you?! Why didn't you help!?"

"I would've died if I fought that thing."

"And it's okay if everyone else dies?!" Ren stood up and Torri slapped his down again. "You're right. You're not the Ren I know." torri turned away to help Raven heal the injuried Gods eaters.
