Author's Note: WOO. 'Nother chappie :)~ Glad everyone's liking it...and, yuh know, O.o i dunno XD! Anyways...new character in this chapter! his name's Hindrick. And he's Grey's dad. And Grey is way awesome in this chapter. You'll see ;D.
~With Cosmo, Cosmo's POV~
We were so close. We were only ONE BLOCK AWAY from Lance and Justin. Hopefully at least. When we finally reached our destination, I saw the old building that Justin ran into me in front of all those years ago. I slowly opened the door. "Lance...? Justin...?" I called out as I walked further inside. After seemingly hours of walking, I saw my brother and my friend sitting at a table...talking?
"Oh hey Cosmo!" Lance called out. Justin turned towards me and smiled. All of a sudden, someone with black hair and a strange crown came out of the blonde, who passed out.
"Excuse me. I've never formally introduced myself. I am Grey, the prince of Eldar," the person told me. So this was Grey...
"What the hell? You realize-" I started, but Grey cut me off.
"I'm sorry Cosmo. You're probably wondering what's going on. I apologize for everything I've done up to now. Let me explain. My father...wanted me to find a suitable...er...wife may be the correct phrase, and I decided I liked...you. But...I was too shy to say something...and I needed a way to get your attention. I didn't mean to hurt anybody..." Grey explained. Suddenly, his head shot up. "My father...he's coming." I was confused, and I guess it showed. "He's going to kill me."
"What?" I yelled/screeched.
"Because I like you," the black-haired boy sighed. Oka y. So, because this guy likes me, he was going to die? Not on my watch. That's when someone walked in holding me other brother by the cuff of his shirt. "F-father..." Grey whimpered.
"Grey...I see the girl is here...I guess she'll die alongside you..." Grey's father sighed. I tried to think of a way to fight. The best fighter; A.K.A Justin; was unconcious, Kid, Liz, and Patty were still outside, but I had both my weapons now...so the playing field was evened a bit. Or at least, I thought. Grey's dad dropped Demetrius, who ran over to me. Now I had both my brother's by my side again.
"Hey...you guys are okay, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. And by the way, Grey's actually kind of nice," Lance told me as he transformed. Demetrius just nodded and quickly copied his brother. Grey's dad smirked and started to begin a soul wavelength attack.
"Oh no you don't!" All of a sudden, a strange black vine came out of the ground and tangled the wicked man's arms and legs. "It's almost as though I'm going face-to-face with myself." I knew that voice. Grey. So this was his power?
"Son...do not even try," the elder of the two sighed. All of a sudden, the vines burned away. Grey's dad turned his attention to me again. "Now...those weapons should turn into boys again..." he cackled. That's when the tonfas in my hands started getting really hot. Soon, Lance and Demetrius had to transform back.
"Oh shit, sorry Cosmo," Demetrius apologized.
"It's okay-" I started, but stopped when I saw a soul wavelength being projected straight towards me. I closed me eyes and waited for it to hit me, but it never did.
"...Cosmo..." Demetrius said shakily. I opened my eyes and was faced with Grey. He had blood dripping from his mouth, but he was smiling at me.
"My father's specialty...sending compressed soul wavelengths at a target from a distance...very effective," the black-haired boy coughed. I looked over him again. His robe was stained with blood. "I'm fine. I'll just die. It's not like you should be upset. I'm a demon, remember..." Grey chuckled. He coughed again before his knees buckled.
"You...idiot," I sighed. I turned my attention back to Grey's father. "You monster! How could you do this to your own son?" I shouted.
"Please, call me Hindrick, and he was pathetic. As are you," he smirked. I snarled at his words. He charged at me suddenly. Demetrius sighed and turned into a sword. Lance and I stared at him; we hadn't known he could do that.
"Come on, just fight with me Cosmo," Demetrius told me impatiently. I nodded and blocked Hindrick's soul wavelengths with the blade. I counter-attacked by hacking at the older man's arms. Now, I must have gotten lucky, because I sliced one of Hindricks hands clean off.
"You little...now you die!" the elder demon yelled angrily. He started senf missiles of fire all around. Lance hurried over to Justin and hauled him out of the way as I dodged every single attack. "You will die! You are the reason I was forced to kill Grey! My beloved son! He was supposed to choose a fine young demoness, but instead he fell in love with a pathetic human!" Hindrick cried angrily as he shot more and more flames. Then I guess he realized the flames weren't working, because he began shooting his soul wavelength again. Those were significantly harder to dodge.
"Let them hit me," Demetrius told me.
"What?" I yelled.
~Demetrius' POV~
My sister was an idiot. "Just do as I say damnit!" I demanded. Sure, the wavelengths would hurt like a bitch, but I would be protecting my sister!
"I...fine," Cosmo gave in. Each time I absorbed one of those soul wavelengths, I wanted to die. But I didn't show that of course. Otherwise, Cosmo would get hurt.
~Cosmo's POV~
I could tell something was wrong with Demetrius, but I didn't say anything. I trusted him to tell me something was up. Apparently I was wrong, because there was no warning when he transformed back into his human form. At that point, I figured we were screwed and was pretty much accepting the fact that we were all going to die.
"Law abiding silver gun!" Well, at least until that happened.
"Took you long enough, Justin!" I shouted mockingly.
"Please be quiet Cosmo, you are interrupting my concentration," Justin yelled VERY loudly. Which was normal for him...so I wan't too upset.
"Oh wonderful, I get to kill a death scythe as well..." Hindrick sighed. Justin raised his eyebrows.
"I disagree, though I admit you're powerful," the blonde said matter-of-factly. The elder demon scowled and shot some soul wavelengths, which my friend easily deflected. "You really do remind me of Giriko..."
"What? Who is that?" Hindrick demanded. "I demand an explanation.
"I demand an explanation!" Justin mimicked at the same time. "See? I knew what you were going to say, just as I know what Giriko's going to say," the blonde pointed out. Hindrick was very confused, and it showed. "Law abiding silver gun!" Justin took advantage of the demon's confusion and cut his arm off.
"Hah!" I cheered. Hindrick glared at me and started running towards me. Then, without warning, he stopped.
"Why can'r I move?" the old demon yelled angrily. I looked closer and determined the cause. Tiny black vines were stitching him to the ground. But Hindrick couldn't move at all, so I guess it was a full body bind. "What? Grey? How can you do this? You're not powerful enough!"
"*cough* Well father, I knew this fight was coming, so I prepared. *cough* Although, I figured I would die..." Grey said, pausing several times to cough up blood.
"You're right about that..." Hindrick laughed. Grey chuckled.
"Go ahead...kill your own son..." he dared. He removed the vines binding Hindrick's last arm. The older demon sent a huge soul wavelength charging at Grey, who took it head on. There was a blinding light that forced me to close my eyes. When I opened them again, Grey was crumpled on the ground, unmoving.
"Grey..." Lance murmured. Justin sighed.
"It's time to end this. Demetrius, let's go soul resonance!" I shouted to my brother, who turned into a sword again. He complied easily. I charged at Hindrick. "DREAM...DEATH!" I plunged the sword straight through the demon; and a huge ultrasound wave rushed out and disoriented everyone. Hindrick turned into a pile of ashed, which blew away with the wind. Demetrius transformed into himself again and looked at me.
"Whoah...we've never been able to do that before Cosmo..." he said between heavy breaths.
"I...I'm sorry..." I apologized. Demetrius gave me a look saying 'Look crazy, you have nothing to be sorry for!' "I..love you..." I said, pulling my little brother into a warm embrace. In that moment, I didn't see my weapon partner, or the popular boy with a million friends, I saw my little brother; who has fears and feelings just like me.
"Cosmo...I love you too ane," he smiled. He pulled away and gestured towards Grey. "I think...you should go say goodbye to Grey," he said with a sad smile that met his eyes. I nodded.
"Grey!" I yelled and hurried over to the prince. "Grey, I'm sorry..." I cried.
"D...don't be Cosmo," he chuckled with a smile. "I'm just dieing, it's no big deal. By the way...look for Drew..and Subaru. Goodbye..." Grey disintegrated in front of me into ashed, just as his father did.
"Goodbye...Grey..." I murmured then turned to face my brothers and my best friend.
"Time to contact Lord Death..." Justin pointed. I nodded and we all walked outside. Liz waved to us.
"Hey guys!" she called out. Kid walked to us and smiled.
"I'm glad you're alright," he said. I chuckled and hugged him.
"Hey, no hug for me?" Justing pouted. I sighed and hugged him too. "Right, I contacted Lord Death, and Stein's coming to pick us up soon," he informed us.
"That was fast," I observed. Justing shrugged.
"I don't know, I suppose so."
After a few hours of waiting, Dr. Stein picked us up and we headed back to the academy. Lord Death greeted us happily.
"I have some good news! There will be two new students with us this school year!" he cheered. I looked at my brothers. This was...interesting news, wasn't it?
End Book 1.
A/N:...How'd you like the epic finale? Contrary to popular belief, I wan't dead for two months, my creative mind for this sotry was though. I decided to make Grey suck less, cuz I kinda love his character now haha. By the way, I know it's strange that Demetrius can turn into a sword as well, but it's from something me and my friend Ashley are doing. It's called Soul Note/Death Eater, you can find it on either of our profiles. I would also like to ask if this fight scene it alright. I feel that my fight scenes are lousy, but you know...I would like to ask the readers if they think it's alright. That means reviews or PMs if you want to get more personal. Either is fine. I have to say, I'm glad this is over so I can get on with the sequel. I just realized this story centers around my OC's totally, with little canon character involvement. The sequel will have two more OC's, but the enemy will probably be a canon character. *hint hint snake hint hint* I love all my reviewers, and I sincerely hope everyone enjoyed, keep an eye out for the sequel!
