Now I think I know why most people don't read this: It's not shonen-ai. I feel sad…and it's not because I don't write that way…
Chapter 17: Dark's True Form, Berserk!
The other side of the Phantom Thief charged at Krad, sending purple blasts from his hands. As soon as he got close he resorted to close-range combat with his bare hands, feet, and a single black feather. Krad dodged most of the melee attacks, but managed to get grazed by the black feather. Dark jabbed in with his feather again, but was perry-blocked and punched in the stomach, sending him backwards. He flew back up and tried to do a sweep-kick to fall the angel. Krad jumped, though, and instead returned one of his own kicks costing him a cut on his shoulder. Dark stood on the ground, panting viciously. Then, something cut through his mind like hot steel, causing more pain and agony that made him erupt in screams.
Dark screamed, sending waves of sound throughout the land. Kimi tried to withstand it, but it almost screeched her, almost to what she thought was deaf. Krad, on the other hand seemed immune to its effects and launched another feather, but this time it had some type of seal on it. Dark was struck with it and his hand was held in place.
"Now, Kokuyoku, die eternally!" Krad yelled, charging. Dark tried to wrestle free of the grip, but to no avail as the spell was too strong. Krad chanted some strange language, and something formed in his hands. It seemed like a beam and a cage at the same time, ready to fire and capture Dark. Kimi stared in shock at what was happening. 'Move, legs, move!' she screamed to herself. Her legs were frozen with some type of emotion she couldn't comprehend; no matter how hard she tried in the little time to spare she couldn't find the strength to move. Feeling guilty because she was responsible for his death, she hung her head low in shame. 'Dark will die because I didn't help stop the beam in any way…' she told herself.
"Goodbye, Dark," Kimi whispered to herself, bidding her last farewells. She waited to her that sound that would end his life, and she waited to die as well, knowing the deal.
Nothing was heard. She lifted her head up to see Dark still pinned to wherever he was and the beam stopped in mid-air.
"W-Wha?" she stuttered in astonishment. Something had stopped it, but she couldn't see whatever it was. Then, an ethereal voice descended upon their ears…This later turned into a piercing, holy shriek. Krad and Dark had to cover their ears as the cry pierced the air like a bullet. Krad reeled back, his head twisting in all directions while Dark stood in place, clutching his head screaming.
"Augh!" they both bellowed from the surreal pain. Kimi wasn't affected by whatever it was that made them scream, but instead stared astonished at whatever it was in front of her. A maiden dressed in ethereal robes floated towards her, stopping a few feet away from the surprised girl. Her raven black hair was mid-back and had white highlights running through it. Her teal-eyes were full of warmth and kindness, showing her to be a loving woman. Smiling, she placed her index and middle finger on Kimi's forehead and pulled something out. This turned out to be two conjoined gems that looked like a black and white magatamas. She held the stones out and disappeared, leaving them to rest on Kimi's clasped hands.
A thought came through her mind, and she instantly set down the stones in a certain order. At the right she set down the newest one she had found, an aqua triangle with a single white claw in it. On the opposite side she set an emerald stone with a strange olive diamond in it. On the bottom she set the two magatamas, which were conjoined together. The three instantly trembled, and out of the glow of the three rose parts of a mirror, which instantly glued themselves together.
It was too late though. As Krad recovered from the supersonic shriek, he re-chanted those strange words to re-shoot the beam, and this time, the white line didn't miss its mark.
The beam hit the berserk angel and captured him. In the next flash, he was gone, and Krad was glowing in two lights surrounding him, one white and the other black. Kimi stared in horror at what Krad had done. Krad opened his eyes, revealing his old form, the form of Kokuyoku.
"Thank you, Dark," he told himself and the soul of Dark in him.
Indeed, this time, Dark was gone. For good.
Well, there you go. This time Dark did die, and he's gone. Literally. I'm not kidding. His soul is in Kokuyoku's new body now. So…if you wanna know what happens, review please!
