Worlds Collide
Chapter 26
Although it was after midnight, the explosions and fire illuminated the surroundings, giving Takuya a clear view. He could vaguely see Zoe in the distance, her blond hair whipping around her head as she ran towards him.
"Zoe!" He shouted. "Stay away!"
Lucifer looked down at him. "So, the blond one is your little girlfriend, huh? Interesting."
Zoe ignored his warnings, continuing her way forward. As a demon was about to jump on her, she lifted herself into air and flew directly over him.
"Dante, I want you to stop her," Lucifer commanded.
Dante smirked. "Here that, Takuya? I get to kill your bitch a second time. How does that make you feel?"
"Don't you dare fucking touch her!" Takuya snapped.
"Aw, cheer up. I won't make her suffer. Much," Dante added with a laugh.
The demon lifted himself up with his wings, then bulleted to the angel. Zoe dodged him as he tried to smash into her, and managed to skim his back with her blade as he went by.
"You stupid bitch!" He tackled her, causing her to drop her weapon.
Damn! Zoe cursed herself. Maybe I should just glue to stupid thing to my hand.....
"Lost your little weapon?" Dante mocked. "Either way, you can't kill me!"
"We'll see about that!" Zoe rocketed over to him with such a force, he was knocked to the ground.
Before he could do anything else, Zoe was on top of him. The angel punched him in the face, feeling a squirt of blood splash onto the front of her shredded shirt.
"Bitch!" Dante attempted to throw her off, only to have her ram his head into the pavement.
"Let Takuya go! Or I'll fucking kill you!" Her green eyes darkened as she continued to pound his face in.
Dante coughed up a mouthful of blood. "No! He's going to die! Just like you will."
"Oh yeah?" A ball of light formed in Zoe's hand.
Dante noticed this, and used all his strength to kick her off. He succeeded, but not before Zoe fired the ball at him. Dante hissed in pain as the light seared the skin on his shoulder. Zoe crashed into a telephone pole, causing it to collapse.
"Zoe!" Takuya cried out again. "Get out of here! Before it's too late!"
Lucifer laughed. "It is already too late, my foolish son. If Dante keeps it up, she'll be dead within minutes!"
"I wouldn't count on it." Takuya glared at him. "So far, the fight is pretty even. She's giving him a run for his money."
"Oh, he's just toying with her. You'll see." His father smiled, then turned his attention back on the battle.
Dante picked up a discarded axe and tried to swing it down onto Zoe, who was lying on top of the fallen pole. Zoe rolled away from the attack, then crouched down and whipped her leg against his. Dante crashed to the ground, then felt Zoe climb on top of him once again. The blond grabbed a hold of the axe, then tried to wrench it from his grip. Dante held tight, grunting as he attempted to keep it from slipping from his grasp.
"G-get offa me!" He hissed.
"Fuck you!" She yelled at him.
Seeing her beginning to get the upperhand, Dante twisted the handle and jerked the blade upward. Zoe cried out as the sharp metal slit her bare shoulder, blood starting to drip down her arm. The demon kicked her off, then lunged to chop her head off. Zoe rolled out of the way, then took hold of the weapon once again. She pulled it, causing him to flip over her, onto his back. A moment later, she rolled backwards and was on top of him. Her knees pinned his bat-wings to the ground.
"That asshole boyfriend of yours will be dead after I'm done with you!" Dante shouted, feeling the axe slide away from him.
Zoe rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right."
She punched him in the face, cracking his neck as it swung to the side. However, Dante heaved himself up from under her, knocking her to the ground. He then grabbed her around the waist, flying full force into a building. Zoe felt her bones crack as she was rammed into it, pinned in place by Dante's body.
"Zoe! Stop it, you asshole!" Takuya shouted.
"Be quiet!" Lucifer kicked him in the ribs.
Takuya coughed, glaring up at him. "Bastard."
Lucifer gave him an annoyed look. "Either shut up or I'll finish her up myself. Your choice."
Takuya remained silent, but continued to watch the battle with crimson eyes. Rip his fucking limbs off, Zoe. Kill him ten times worse than when he killed you, he thought to himself.
A ball of fire formed in Dante's hand, and he thrust it into the angel's chest. Zoe cried out as it seared her skin, but she managed to give him a sharp kick in the stomach. Dante grunted and fell away from her, giving her the opportunity to retalliate. Light beamed out of Zoe's hand in a blinding flash. The light made contact with the side of Dante's head, immediately burning his scalp and hair. Once the beam had diminished, the right side of his face was completely charred, and his hair had disintergrated.
Before he could attack her, an angel was thrown into him, knocking them both to the ground. Furious, he snapped the angel's neck, then grabbed the discarded sword he had been holding. Zoe dove as he tried to decapitate her, only to land directly next to her own blade. She grasped it and held it up as his blade crashed down onto it.
"Come on, Takuya. Let's get a closer look." Lucifer began to kick Takuya over to where Zoe and Dante were battling.
"Takuya!" Zoe called out to him.
Dante jumped onto her, causing them both to fall to the ground and drop them weapons. Zoe pushed up against him, then wrapped her arms around his waist. She propelled them forward hard enough to crash through a building. Takuya watched as they exited out of the opposite side, Zoe still clinging onto his rival. Dante slammed into a telephone pole and was pinned there by Zoe's body. The angel quickly placed her palms onto his chest, twin lights beaming into him.
Dante screamed, feeling his shirt char and his skin beginning to melt. A moment later, another demon rushed forward, knocking Zoe away from him. Zoe immediately grabbed hold of a nearby pipe and swung it at his head. Takuya smiled as the demon's decapitated head rolled away and landed in a gutter.
However, Dante had been given an opening while Zoe had fended off the monster. He took hold of her neck, then violently jerked it to the side.
"Zoe!" Takuya yelled, seeing his love crumple to the ground.
Dante turned to him, a satisfied smirk on his face. "Wow, that didn't take long at-"
His legs were swept out from underneath him, and he crashed to the pavement. Zoe stood up, her green eyes glimmering.
"You can't kill me that easily," she said incredulously. "I figured that you knew better."
"Bitch!" He scrambled up, attempting to tackle her.
Zoe side-stepped him, then clutched onto the sides of his shirt. She whipped him around, sending the demon into a pile of dead bodies.
As Takuya continued to helplessly watch the battle, he didn't notice as Alastair, a fellow demon, crept up behind him. Lucifer smiled, taking an axe from Alastair. He swiftly hid it behind his back, waiting for the right moment.
Dante bulleted over to Zoe, plowing her into a parked truck. Blood leaked from her rosy lips as the force of the attack of rattled her bones. Dante pummeled his fists into her stomach and chest, a fiery glow covering his hands.
"Stop it!" Takuya shouted. "Take me instead!"
Dante paused, letting Zoe collapse to the ground. The blond coughed, clutching onto her bleeding chest with one hand.
"Enough!" Lucifer bellowed.
His booming voice carried over through the entire population, causing demons and angels alike to pause with surprise.
"This is pathetic!" He continued. "Why anyone would think that Heaven would stand a chance against Hell is beyond me! We specialize in pain, torture, and death! The assumption that Heaven will prevail is absurd! Hell will not have mercy on anyone, not even on its own!"
Kouichi, Kouji, and J.P. stared at him, their mouths agape. What was he getting at?
"And I will prove that point by demonstrating on my own son!"
"Takuya!" Zoe desperately cried out, trying to get up.
The blade suddenly crashed down onto Takuya's neck, severing his head.
holy shit! did any of you see that happening? well if you did, good for you ^_^ sorry the chapter was kinda short, but the next will be longer. see yaz
