Chapter 9: winters downfall
At the moyia shrine goddess kanako was fixing machines "we have to hurry before yukaris reigme gets here" she said and then Suwako came into the room wearing her hat with the eye balls "Can we really fight them? You know they control the boy now and his powers" suwako sighed as she picked up a spanner and went to help her sister.
Sanae put on some armor as she practised her skills and then the army began to march up the steps "they are here" sanae said as the goddess nodded and pressed a button and then cannons formed from the ground "FIRE!" kanako shouted and the steampunk cannons blasted tons of the youkai troops and moon shock solders away
sanae shouted and then fired explosive magic at the enemy killing even more of there ranks "eat this!" she shouted with such fury as she dropped an explosive mettor spell on them destorying heavy armor and ellte solders "This is for billy you fucking bastards" saenae screamed as she charged forwward cutting down more and more solders
Then xero appeared and stabbed her in the back with an obseian knife "stupid cow!" he mocked and kicked her to the flood as she was left in a pool of blood and then spat on her "is that all you can do kanako you bitch?" xero smirked.
Suddenly a cannon shell smashed into xero and did heavy damage and then a barrage of powerful magic magics slammed him in the back "just a scratch!" xero laughed and unleashed dark spikes at kanako but she dodged "Just die already" xero shouted and fighted back with dark storm magic and wounded kanako.
"xero snap out of it can't you see Yukari has corrupted you with darkness? Please I know you are a gentle and loving soul" kanako begged as xero placed his boot on her neck ready to snap it "Shut up you fucking bitch I am happy as who I am" he growled.
Kanako was crying "please xero we worked together to make gensokyo a better place, you where meant to be a guarden of this beautful land not its destruction please fight this" kanako begged.
Then a sword cut through xeros chest "fuck you!" sane shouted as she then finally passed out from her wounds.
Xero stumbled, wounded fatally as blood ran out of his boduy "i'm sorry xero but perhaps you need to fight the battle alone" kanako said and blasted him with a fire spell as he burned to death screaming and then xero was gone "Thank you" xero sighed as he final;ly passed.
Xero woke up his hair normal again and he was wearing his old outfit as he fell through a wind of fire and pain seeing suffering souls screaming around him as he landed on a platofmr...xero was in hell.
Xero looked around and saw a purple haired girl with a strange eye ball device anda bird like girl "So this is the stupid one? He looks stupid" the crow like girl laughed "you are in the former hell of burning fires, if you wish to leave you must overcome the darkness" the lady said.
"who are you?" xero askered and the girl smiled "I am satori and I see in your mind you are clouded by evil xero if you are to one day stop the darkness you must free your chains" satori said and vanished with her pet.
Xero was confused and then he heard footsteps as a silver haired man with an emerald sword came up to him and it was the evil xero yukari created but he looked paler, darker eyes and more evil "so we died well that fucking blows but don't worry we will merge our souls and become more powerful then return to gensokyo to complete our mistresses mission" the dark xero said.
Xero chanted and created a katana of pure light energy "no I gave into my pain and allowed yukari to corrupt me! NO MORE YOU BASTARD" xero screamed as he charged and clashed swords with his corrupt self "Got a name asshole? I can't keep calling you my corrupted self" xero laughed "i am hollow xero" he grinned and they clashed blades.
The fighting was intense as they clashed blades at high speeds, perrying every blow with extreme power "you are weak Xero..or should I say JAMES! You need me, I keep you safe, I give you power, I protect us, I get us all the girls, with me you could have it all! Face it xero without me you are pathetic, a waste, nothing!" hallow xero laughed as there blades met each other tightly, xero trying to push hard to break his guard
Xero charged his magic "HOLY ARROW!" he shouted and fireda lot of arrows of pure light but hollow xero blocked them with his sword and charged as they hit blades again "you are weak!" hollow xero shouted.
"ive lost so many friends because of evil...kanie...billy...i was forced to kill and do terrble things because of you NO MORE! NO MORE!" he said and cut forward slicing hollow xero across the torso and wounding him badly as he bled corrupted energy.
Xero unleashed his final spell "Trio omega!" shouted and hollow xero was atomized in a blast of pure red energy leaving nothing remaining as xero fell to the ground tired and ready to rest "its over..."
satoris voice could be heard "you have overcome the darkness, you may now leave this place" Satori said as pure light cut through the burned orange sky and lifted xero above as he passed out from the pain and futgie.
"Is he awake yet?"
"come on wake up."
Xero opened his eyes and saw a field of other worldly flowers and a bright clear sky and shards which are commonly known as floating islands, he was also wearing clean robes and was no longer dirty "Where am I?" xero asked and a blue haired girl with a hat covered in peaches smiled and giggled "Your in the celestal realms silly" she replied.
Xero sat up taken aback but this goddess like girl before him "Who are you?" he asked "I'm tenshi hinanawara pleased to meet you" she said and helped him up,.
She escourted xero to a temple guarded by tall angels and they met a man there "greetings my name is flonne an arch angel and high up in the chain of command...we've been expecting you forsome time xero kita" flonne smiled and xero felt it ease as if her aura had a calming effect
"Am I dead?" Xero asked and flonne shook her head "Your in a twilight between life and death, in a sense you have asended to a higher plane due to your bloodline as a desendant of merlin" flonne said
xero thought on what had happened "there is a darkness coming I must return to the moral realms to stop it" xero clengched his fist "of course but you must become a mage that has mastered the light and holy arts if you are to defeat this coming evil" flonne noted
xero sighed "how long could this take?"he asked "You will stay here for two years and train with us, after which time you will be revived and returned to gensokyo" flonne said
Tenshi hugged xero "Yay you sound like fun, I can't wait to hang out...Come on xero I'll show you around, you can even stay at my place too" tenshi hugged and xero smiled as she took him on a tour of the celetal realms
over the next few months xero got to know tenshi and they became close friends and build a friendship that would write the fate of many for generations to come.
