Fara tried to stay calm knowing that her only son was in danger of the mad demon's wrath, her heart rate increased quicker and quicker with each passing minute, worried of the dangers of her son was drawing towards, but the young Fiona, who knew nothing of the dangers ahead and remained her calm self, started to hum happily and sway her head the song "Freak on a leash" by Korn, her legs bent into a meditative position and her torso swayed from left to right, though her mother was in panic, Fiona was still her normal self, until she looked at a vase's mirror like reflection off of the sun on the table, looking at it closely and carefully to see through a window in back of them, suddenly her eyes widen with fear…Ariaz was coming.
"Mom, he's coming!" Fiona yelped as she unfolded her legs and jumped to her feet, running to her side as quick as her legs would move her.
"Who?" Fara asked quickly as she looked down at her young daughter cling to her leg, slightly confused of who would come: her son, a mailman, anyone.
"The demon!" Fiona squealed with fear, her arms wrapped tightly around her leg, blood circulation began to stop slightly in Fara's leg.
"Kirin?" She asked, knowing that Kirin was the demon holder of that grotesque tattoo...or so she thought.
"No, the Human, he took the demon!" Fiona cried, trying to push Fara forward to the basement door with all her little strength.
Fara couldn't believe her daughter, how could she know of this kind of information without even leaving the house, but she had to since nothing made sense anymore ever since Kirin aquired the demon tattoo, she followed her daughter quickly to the below room that is the basement, hiding from the Demon that was soon to come to them.
Ariaz stopped at the door of the home, jiggling on the locked door with his cold hand, slowly he withdrew his hand and slithered, as a puddle of shadows, into the house from underneath the door and slowly reformed from the ground and out of the shadow, becoming whole once again.
"Oh Fara, where are you?" Such a voice was not of Ariaz, but the demon that lurked within him, Gray Fang, Ariaz was no longer there, gone within his own mind as the demon took control of his form.
Fara started to breath hard, looking at Ariaz while he walked through the house, she may not know the human, but she noticed the voice all too well.
"You have something I want, my little dove." The demonic voice spoke again, footsteps banging along the floor heavily, slowly a sigil burned upon his forehead, forming into an odd ring of three fangs.
Fara slowly looked at her finger, the ring on her finger matched his the sigil that was burned upon his forehead, something Fiona didn't understand at all, was it mere coincidence that the ring and the sigil looked alike or was it something far more complex?
Ariaz flipped over a table with the demonic strength that Grey Fang offered, breaking the vas and good china on it, he growled like a lion and let his claws slip out of his finger nails, anger flowed through the demonic veins like streams of calm water.
"First you give birth to my Children…then you leave me on Venom inside this vassel to rot! Where the hell are you?!" Grey Fang Roared from the human's lips, skin slowly darkening as it was beginning to change and rip to release Grey Fang.
Fiona's eyes became wide and filled with shock, slowly she looked at her mother with an open frown, Fara's eyes slowly released from the lids a soft shed of tears, she was broken inside to let Fiona know the big truth of her fathers origin: Demonic.
"Mom…he's…" Fiona shuttered, she didn't even want to utter the sentence.
"Yes…years ago, I met Grey Fang during the time when I was aboard the Great Fox as a pilot, he was indeed a power lusting demon in search of my knowledge, in his care was this human he now possesses, taught to obey and to never disobey, I didn't want to help him, but he said that if I helped him into Ariaz's body, then he'd help me, so I did, I opened a gateway to venom to where there ancient culture could fuse the two, where Grey Fang's answers slept within venom's inner caverns, but he helped me first with one thing, and the only thing I ever desired: Pregnancy." Fara explained and wiped the tears from her eyes as only more came forward and down her cheeks.
"Huh?" Fiona was so young, therefor such a word wasn't familier to her.
"He gave me you and Pierce by helping me what I wanted." Fara explained so that she would understand better.
"Pierce always told me that dad was a wind sage." Fiona spoke, her mind set in a cyclone of confusion.
"No…Grey Fang is, I helped him obtain the secret to possession of others, but just as he was ready to proceed to Corneria, I closed the gate on him so that it would remain safe from his tyranny." Fara replied as she did her best to answer her questions and straighten out her thoughts.
Fiona was filled with pain, not in her head since now her questions were answered, but in her heart where all her feelings lost their joyfulness, for years she thought her father was a wind controller like Pierce, a fennec who was a brave and wise man who fought of countless battles, but a demon who desired to be whole again, to exist again?
Ariaz kicked open the basement door with a hard swift swipe of his leg, demonic aura radiated from his body as his head turned slowly, looking down at Fara and Fiona with red eyes.
"Ah…I knew you'd be down here…Fiona, my you have grown." Grey Fang spoke, sending his commands into Ariaz's head, as he was taught: obey and do not disobey.
Ariaz's hand lunged down and grabbed Fara and Fiona by their necks, his eyes shifting as he began looking at them, then he flung Fiona into the living room with a strong flick of his wrist, landing on the couch in a bounce then landing on her bum, then he dragged Fara out of the house by her neck with a strong grasp, Fiona could do nothing with her small strength to stop him, all she could do was watch her mother get dragged away screaming into the air.
Fiona balled her paws into fists, tears ran down her face in streams, she was filled with anger and yet hopelessness as well, such feelings began to make her paws radiate a glow of soft blue smoke, she gasped slightly and looked at them with confusion, with only one idea to try, she pointed her paws at a nearby vase, concentrating on it without any distractions in her head, slowly it began to lift off its pedestal, she had finally achieved what her brother aquired: The power over wind with her mind, the stage of Telekinesis.
"Alright, No time to waste, I gotta warn big bro about this and fast!" Fiona thought as she rushed out the door and into the city, unprotected by the safety of her home or any security, it was time, her time, it was her time to learn the meaning of bravery.
School
Kirin rushed to the class room after bolting through the front doors of his school, hoping that he would be able to reach Rosita in time, but he was too late, the room was coated in Rosita's blood, her dead body grasping onto her weapon in motionless silence, Kirin couldn't believe it, after all those he had protected in the past, he wasn't quick enough to save her, but there it was in her paw, the great Balmung, the sword to vanquish demons, and the key weapon for the demise of Gray fang.
"Rosita...forgive me for letting this happen to you...but I swear upon this day...I'll fix this!" Kirin thought as he clenched his fists tightly and stared upon her corpse.
Kirin slowly grabbed the lance-whip sword, it felt cold in his hands due to his past contamination of demonic energy, then it started to heat up in his paws from his actions during demonic form, then it cooled down as a sign that he is forgiven and ready to deal justice, Kirin had no idea what was happening however what the weapon felt towards him, but as long as he was able to wield Balmung, then nothing else mattered, just Ariaz and Grey Fang.
City of Corneria
Ariaz looked at the dead soldiers that he quickly dispatched with Grey Fangs assistance, they couldn't stop his rampage of destruction, Fara just looked away from the death and chaos and sniffled, she didn't want to know what would happen to her.
"Soon Fara, a third child…but with demon powers, and trust me, I will quicken the process." Grey Fang chuckled, slowly building inside Ariaz and nearly swallowing the remains of his clinging soul.
Fara was frightened of what Grey Fang was going to do to her defenseless body, thoughts of what would happened only filled her with more fear than she could handle, but then she looked over his shoulder quickly and noticed that Kirin was coming with Balmung in his paws, his running steps fast as he advanced towards them with all the speed his could process.
"Kirin! Hurry!" Fara cried out to the young vulpine with sorrow and fear in her voice, Kirin snarled and bolted towards her and the demon.
Ariaz looked behind him and snarled with Grey Fangs demonic snarl and tossed Fara aside towards a building, knocking her out against the hard material of the structure; Ariaz walked in a circular motion with Kirin following on the opposite side, Kirin just made sure that he didn't pull any secret moves on him.
"Well, nice new weapon, what would it be called if I may ask." Grey Fang chuckled, it didn't matter what fancy weapon Kirin possessed, Grey Fang was there to stay on Corneria.
"Oh nothing, just Balmung!" Kirin snarled and barked, gripping and readying the whip sword and aimed at Grey Fang.
Ariaz froze due to the demon fear, he could hear Grey Fang scream at him: Don't get struck by that lance, that lance was my demise eight-hundred years ago!
Kirin leapt at Ariaz as quick as a flash, striking him in the arm with a hard blow from Balmung, it was burning his demonic flesh, the touch of the holy weapon could deal massive amounts of damage to any body part or anything Grey fang owned that Araiz owned.
"Please, Mercy, I beg for mercy!" Grey Fang cried out, he didn't want to return to where he came from, the darkness was the only place he wished to be free of.
"Why!? You killed Rosita and then tried to kill Ms. Pheonix! Why the hell should I show any damn mercy!?" Kirin roared and barked, his anger was unable to hold back, his paw clenching the hilt of Balmung tightly that it began to bleed.
Grey Fang remembered what he did to Rosita Skywinder, what a gorish act he commited, he had opened her up and spread her insides all over the classroom without giving her a chance to fight back, Kirin was definitely not going to show mercy upon the demonic beast of his host.
Kirin leapt again as quickly as he could and swung the Balmung again, slicing his other arm deeply, burning the bone with its holy might, the demon couldn't think of anything else but of the extreme pain that was twirling around inside him.
"Grey fang or Ariaz, I don't know or give a damn anymore, it's time to face judgment!" Kirin snarled and readied himself with Balmung again.
Grey Fang started to laugh slowly and quietly then fastly and loudly, his sword Ascalon was now glowing with a waterfall of shadows pouring down from the tip of its long form, like a wound bleeding every ounce of its blood, as he tightned his grasp around the hilt.
"Kirin…I am Grey Fang, I am Ariaz, I am both the darkness and the shadows now, with this sword Ascalon, I am the equal opponent to Balmung as I hold Balmung's brother." Grey Fang Cackled and slammed Ascalon down against the ground, making a long gash in the ground with an uprise of purple fire.
"How…wait…then it's…" Kirin slowly spoke then gasped in his breath with shock.
"God's left hand!" Grey Fang cackled and rose Ascalon over his head, proceeding by slashing the air with a flash of purple fire downwards.
Kirin was against a demon using a godly weapon, the odds were against him, to think after all the time that has passed, Kirin never expected that the blades Ascalon and Balmung were brothers, Balmung to all things good, and Ascalon to all things bad, indeed they were the hands of god.
"Ready Kirin, the last time I checked, I still had the upper advantage!" Grey Fang snicked and readied his sword, knowing now that the more Grey Fang took over, the harder it would be for Kirin to fight him.
Ariaz lunged fastly at Kirin and giving him no time to intercept his attack, plowing him through a building with a hard ram of his shoulder and a quick pounce back, smashing the huge tower that nearly touched the clouds to the ground, leaving Kirin under the metallic rubble with nothing but silence following.
"Ha! I knew he couldn't defeat me!" Grey Fang cackled and shouldered Ascalon with a sense of accomplishment
Grey Fang laughed with hate, his victory was more easy to aquire than he had expected, then he turned to Fara, who, after all this immense noise, had still remained unconscious, he walked over to the body slowly chuckling, then heard something behind him suddenly, the moving of rubble and metallic debris, quickly he whipped around and stared as Kirin was pushing the rubble over and off of him to get free from the destroyed building.
"How the hell did you survive that!?" Grey Fang barked, amazed by Kirin's survival of the collapsed building.
Kirin wiped the blood from his lips slowly and flicked it off his wrist to the ground, his breathing was hard in pants as he tried to regain his breath then became soft pants as he slowly regained control of his lungs, he relaxed his shoulders and shouldered Balmung gently, taking breaths in through his nose quietly, just as he fought Syphon, he wouldn't go down without a fight.
"You just won't die will you?" Grey Fang Snarled then grasped his head, roaring with pain as, inside, Ariaz began clawing his way out of Grey Fang's inner grasp over him, slowly being able to regain some control over his body.
"Kirin, I beg of you, put me out of this misery, release me from his grip and send me to the plane of the dead, being a slave to this demon for so long...even when he was sealed away, I beg of you, destroy me and him with me, rid us, now!" Ariaz cried out to the blue vulpine and grunted as Grey Fang began control over him again.
Grey Fang roared and lunged at Kirin, ready to strike him down with a violet fiery swing with the Ascalon, but, with quick speed and an, of course, a longer weapon, Kirin brought Balmung straight up through the heart of Grey Fang's vessal, where the Tattoo that sealed Grey Fang was.
"You know what happens when light is in the dark?" Kirin snarled and gripped the hilt of Balmung tightly.
Grey Fang looked down at his wound quickly and breathed heavily, blood running down his vessal's neck from his lips, it was glowing with the purist light that anyone could ever witness, burning with its holy power all through his flesh and veins of demonic power.
"The darkness fades away!" Kirin barked at the demonic vessal and grasped Balmung tightly.
Kirin suddenly twisted the lance with a quick thrust of his wrists going forward and released a bolt of light through his vessal's body, Ariaz was now a walking body of pure, radiating light.
"Thank you...Kirin..." Ariaz slowly spoke as light enveloped the area, then Kirin became very pissed off of what happened next from the demon's vessal: he exploded all over Kirin with blood, organs, and bones flying everywhere.
"Yeah…mom wanted me to take a shower, but not in blood and guts, damn it!" Kirin snarled loudly and stamped his foot on the ground, slowly calming himself and began to cool down as he looked over the remains of the pained Human vessal.
Kirin slowly picked up the Ascalon into his free paw and shouldered the two brother blades, now he owned both god weapons Ascalon and Balmung, but the Soul Edge was the only weapon that was ever going to be for him, it saved him when he was on Sauria, surely it would've saved him if he didn't discover Balmung.
"Well, I can leave these at Mrs. Skywinder's grave, just to give her the message that I did it, I got rid of Grey Fang…but maybe I should shower first, Then prepare a funeral for her...I did it, teach...I did it." Kirin sighed and smiled slightly, his body felt calm and relaxed now his mission was completed.
Pierce ran down the street with his rings jingling on his bod like wind chimes against the air, looking for his mother and spotted Kirin in his sight as well as his mother too, completly relieved to see that both of them were still alive.
"Hey Kirin, thank god I Found-eww why are you covered in blood?" Pierce approached his vulpine companion with a disgusted face, the smell of blood was NEVER good.
Kirin looked pissed off at Pierce immediatly, the calm and relaxed state now replaced by anger and awe of anothers major stupidity, just thinking of an insult to tell him, but all he could get was the following to run through his head: Well, gee, Ariaz exploded, the whole area of this city heard it, what about you, you fennec, jingling christmas bell dumbass?!
Pierce ran over to his mother with a small gasp and picked her up in his arms, gently placing her on his shoulders for safety, he was filled with great relief to see his mother still alive and unharmed slightly, he had Kirin to thank for defeating the demon and saving his mother at the same time, such a feat looked nearly impossible, but today, it was proven wrong.
"Hey Kirin…can you help?" Pierce asked and smiled slightly.
Kirin slowly nodded and wiped himself down slightly as he walked over to Pierce and helped with carrying Fara by holding up the upper part of her torso, slowly she was starting to wake up from her uncounsious state which made Pierce even more relieved.
"Pierce? Kirin?" Fara slowly rubbed her eyes and asked confusingly.
"Just stay silent, Ariaz won't ever be coming back." Kirin smiled slightly and replied to her with a simple explaination
"Ariaz is dead, but Grey Fang isn't." Fara coughed and explained softly, her form was slightly damaged from the impact of the building.
"What do you mean?" Kirin asked, he was now back into the area of confusion where nothing made sense again.
"Grey fang needed a host, both darkness and light needed to fill him, and now that both weapons touched him, light and dark, he could be free when his host died." Fara explained and coughed out some of the debris air.
Kirin sighed with annoyance and exhaustion, knowing that by looking behind him, he would see that a werewolf was forming slowly out of the blood of the human remains of his vessal, it was indeed Grey Fang forming out of the remains.
"Oh come on!" Kirin cried out and smacked his head, he didn't want anymore aching today with another fight, he sighed and slowly pulled out both Ascalon and Balmung, just looking at the beast, nothing but ache roared in his joints.
"Ah…the blue fox…I was wondering when I actually get to speak to you in person." Grey Fang spoke wisely and cracked his neck, blood slowly rising up and forming into a soft black silk robe around his body.
"Why would you want to talk to me?" Kirin asked slowly, gripping both god weapons in his paws, at any moment, he would be ready to send Grey Fang back to his demise.
"Because I must explain to you so that it is only fair, young one, you see, both god weapons were meant to destroy demon's that were apart of the animal characterized nature of mortal beings, but forming out of the blood of a being humanized nature, the god weapons have no effect on me." Grey Fang smirked and slowly extended his claws, he was the one ready for battle, not Kirin.
Kirin snarled loudly and threw the god weapons behind him and thrust his paw into the hood area of his coat, slowly unsheathing the Soul Edge hidden behind his back, with his grasp recognized by the weapon, it began glowing with a soul radiant fire.
"The Soul Edge? It exists?" Grey Fang asked and raised a brow as he examined the fleshly blade from far away.
"Uh Dur…would I be holding it if it didn't exist?" Kirin barked with his comeback to the demon's observational question.
"I guess not, young idiot…it is a powerful weapon I must admit that…I can't wait to rip it out of your dying paws and slay you with your own weapon." Grey Fang chuckled and took a stance, claws glimmering under the sun.
Kirin just laughed at the insult as though it was said by a pathetic child, he wasn't afraid of the werewolf at all now, he just looked and laughed some more, but he was definatly sure that if he made one wrong move...it was game over.
Suddenly, Connor ran up next to Kirin as the giant wolf ran down the street, the hot element of fire radiating from his paws as he came prepared for battle, knowing the entire situation as a news copter hovered over the battle field, panting from the long run which would be a short run for the rest of the gang, Kirin looked confused as to why his companion would come at this time when he needed help before.
"Kirin…let me take this battle." Connor grinned and spun his double sided scythe near his side then shouldered it.
"Why?" Kirin calmly asked, though a vein had popped on his forehead like an anime vein, he was completly ignored during his first fight.
"The Soul Edge has stone and flesh on it, those two god weapons have steel on them, Fire and silver can only hurt werewolves and definatly demons, my friend, so you just relax and let me deal with this furry schmuck." Connor chuckled and grasped his weapon tightly, a spark of flame burst from his nostrils as he released a hard sigh from his nose
"How the hell did you figure all that out, you weren't even here...oh right." Kirin stopped his arguing as he looked up at the copter, but the other information, Kirin wanted to know of since Connor didn't really read much books at all.
"Pierce's little sister, if you MUST know, she finally has her telekinetic powers from the wind element, everyone heard the battle since people rather not watch TV now a days, and your mom wants you to take a shower after all this because of the explosion, if I remembe correctly..." Connor explained amazingly, usually by the time he reached the word "Must" he would've been fast asleep, but with such a long explaination, he was seriously ready to face this demon.
"…I thought she might say something like that. Alright Connor, don't fail." Kirin barked with confidence as he watched his friend go head to head with the demon, the final battle with Grey Fang was about to begin.
