The Black Angel
Chapter 5: Resolution
The group split into pairs and took off to find Kyousuke's mom's dairy. Makoto and Minako went to the bedrooms in the east wing, Rei and Setsuna took the ones in the west wing. Haruka and Michiru took the bell tower. Chibiusa and Hotaru took the library. Usagi and Mamoru took the attic. And Kyousuke and Ami took his mother's bedroom.
"Why did we split up if this is the most likely place where the diary would be?" asked Ami.
"When I was a kid, my mom told me that her diary had something very important on it, so she moved it around from place to place," said Kyosuke. "I guess it was because she thought if it stayed in one place, someone would find it. So it could be anywhere."
"Ah, now that makes sense," noted Ami.
An hour later, the gang regrouped.
"We didn't find anything," said Haruka.
"Neither did we," said Rei.
"We got nothing," said Minako.
"We found the book after Hotaru accidentally knocked off the shelf and onto my head," said Chibiusa.
"I said I was sorry," Hotaru said.
"It's okay I'm fine," Chibiusa said, rubbing the back of her head.
"Well that's one piece all that's left is the disk," said Mamoru.
"We've got it," said Kyousuke, "Now let's see if we can dig up any clues."
"Lord Gabriel specifically asked me to destroy the black angel," said a man in the dark.
"Israfel, don't get cocky or you'll end up like Baal," said Lillith.
"Baal was weak, I shall succeed where Bael has failed," said Israfel.
Hours later, Ami was still looking through the book while Kyosuke was trying to find anything on the computer.
"I haven't found anything in the book. Kyousuke, did you have any luck?" said Ami.
Ami looked in. Kyousuke appeared to look upset, the disk was smoking for some odd reason.
"There was a security program on the computer. It destroyed all the data on the disk, its worthless to us, now," said Kyousuke.
Suddenly, Kyousuke felt a chill down his spine again. A blast of dark energy flew right past Kyousuke's face, shattering the disk into a million pieces.
"Come out and fight, Black Angel," said a voice.
The gang ran outside to confront this new threat, All but Kyousuke had transformed. Their opponent this time was a giant man who was clad in armor, like that if an ancient roman warrior.
"Who are you?" asked Kyousuke.
"I am Israfel. You are threat to my master's plans and must be destroyed, prepare to die!" said Israfel.
"You're the one who's going to die!" shouted Sailor Uranus.
"SPACE SWORD BLASTER!"
"SUBMARINE REFLECTION!"
"DEADLY SCREAM!"
"SILENCE GLAIVE SURPRISE!"
"FLAME SNIPER!"
"AQUA MIRAGE!"
"OAK EVOLUTION!"
"LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"
TIARA ACTION!"
The wave of attacks connected head on with their targets creating a large explosion.
"Nice try, but you will have to do better than that," said the giant man as the smoke cleared.
"These guys can't be hurt by our attacks, remember?" said Sailor Chibi moon
"Oh yeah, that's right," said Sailor Uranus
"DIE!" Israfel shouted.
The behemoth fired a blast at Sailor Moon. At the last moment, Kyousuke jumped in the path of the shot without a second thought. The others just stared in shock at his selfless act. Mercury is already by his side as he lays on the ground in his own blood.
"Kyousuke, please speak to me," said Sailor Mercury, almost in tears as she shakes him.
Kyousuke places his hand on Mercury's in an attempt to calm her.
"I'm alright, but now I realized something, something only I can do, and I have to finish what my mom started," said Kyosuke, getting up and ignoring his wound.
He began to walk towards his enemy without fear.
"I understand now, mom. You didn't try to kill me, you wanted trying to help me by awakening this power so I can protect myself and those I care about," he said to himself as he began to transform. "Mom, I won't let your death be in vain."
"Israfel runs from no one, die black angel," said Gader'el, firing off a volley of energy missiles.
Some flew right past Kyousuke and hit the church. Kyousuke turned around to look at the church catch on fire and started to feel his anger build. His arm doubled in size, he turned around to face Israfel, and fired his,
"LIGHTNING BREAKER!"
The blast of crimson energy vaporized Israfel where he stood. Kyousuke turned back to the church as burned to the ground. Sailor Mercury came up and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Kyousuke." She said in a sympathetic tone.
Kyousuke hanged his head down in sadness. Sailor Moon comes up to him.
"Hey Kyousuke, what do you think of joining our team?"
"I'd be honored," said Kyousuke with a small smile.
"What do you think, Koyori?" said Komugi.
"I don't think we need to worry. Those girls set him on the right track."
A dove with a piece of paper in its beak flew by and landed on Komugi's shoulder. Komugi takes the paper and reads it.
"Looks like we've got new orders, you think we can leave him alone?"
"Yeah, I think so."
Back at Rei's shrine, the whole gang gathered around the table to welcome Kyousuke to their team.
"You know, something just came to mind," said Minako.
"What's that?" asked Makoto.
"Kyousuke is going to need a code name if he wants to keep his identity a secret," answered Minako.
"Good point but, let's rule out 'Black Angel' since he doesn't look like an angel when he's transformed" said Rei.
The group fell silent for a moment.
"I've got IT!" shouted Minako,
"Drum-roll, please?" Chibiusa sneaked behind Usagi and started to bang on her head like a drum.
"From this point on, Kyousuke Date," said Minako, Dramatically; "Your codename is… The SoulTaker!"
"It sounds kinda evil," said Kyousuke.
"Nah, it'll strike fear into the hearts of your enemies." Minako took a pose similar to the Shadow.
"I guess it could work." Said Kyousuke with a light chuckle.
A/N: This one was one of my shorter chapters. So to make up for it here's a preview of my SM/DMC fic.
An image of a row of large statues standing in a circle comes into view. The most notable one is the statue of what appears to be a man with horns.
My honored brethren
The scene changes to a bird's eye-view of the city of Tokyo as the sun sets on the horizon.
We come together
The sailor senshi are gathered with a defiant air around them.
To unite as oneThe back of a man in a red trench coat is shown. Attached to his back is a large broad sword with a screaming demon skull on the hilt. He turns around to reveal that it's Dante in his Devil May Cry 4 attire.
Against those that are damnedQueen Beryl is seen laughing like a maniac while holding the Silver Millenium Crystal in her left hand and the sword of Sparda in her right. Both items are glowing.
The generals stand atop the roof of a building with smug looks on their faces.
We show no mercy
Yamato falls from above and sticks into the ground. Eternal Sailor Moon slowly reaches out to it as it gives off a faint aura.
The senshi unleash their respective attacks against a horde of monsters.
Dante bursts through a window and does helm breaker on one of the larger enemies. The other creatures surround and attack him. Dante continues to fight them off, sword swinging and guns blazing.
Dante and Tuxedo Mask stand back to back, surrounded by monsters.
Usagi gazes in awe at Yamato in her hand.
The time has come and so have I
I'll laugh last cause you came to die
The damage done the pain subsides
And I can see the fear clear when I look in your eye.
Eternal Sailor Moon slashes at numerous monsters with Yamato.
Sailor Mars prepares to fight with a red sword in her right hand and a blue sword in her left hand.
Sailor Mercury slams down what looks like a three handled nunchakus, sending up shards of ice.
Sailor Jupiter unleashes an electrical attack with a strange purple guitar.
Sailor Venus punches an enemy while wearing a pair of silver gauntlets.
Now I know how the angel fell just kneel
I know the tale and I know it too well just bow
I'll make you wish you had a soul to sell soul to sell
When I strike you down and send you straight to hell
Dante activates his Devil Trigger and cuts down many monsters in few moments.
Eternal Sailor Moon starts to get angry as her eyes begin to glow red.
Dante knocks Jadeite to the ground, pulls out ivory and shoots.
My army comes from deep within
Beneath my soul--beneath my skin
As you're ending, I'm about to begin
My strength His bane and I will never give in.
A large grotesque creature lets out a roar.
Dante looks at the beast with a cocky grin.
The beast then charges down the street.
The senshi prepare themselves for a battle.
I'll tell you now I'm the one to survive
You never break my faith or my stride
I'll have you choke on your own demiseI make the angel scream, and the devil cry
The senshi, Tuxedo Mask and Dante walk down a dark corridor.
Beryl sits on her throne waiting.
Eternal Sailor Moon swings Yamato to her right. At that moment, her uniform changes. All the white parts of her suit turn black, the angelic wings change into demonic ones. All heart emblems turn into skulls. The whites of her eyes turn black, her irises turn red and she now has black lipstick on.
Devil May Cry:
Shadow of Sparda
Dante twirls ebony and ivory around.
"Now… Let's ROCK!"
He crosses the guns, fires off a round and everything goes black.
A/N: Yeah, I know. It's a lot like Fury Cutter's Lost Son of Konoha preview chapter (Hope you don't mind) and the DMC4 trailer. If this story doesn't go too well, at the very least it might provide inspiration for others.
