Worlds Collide
Chapter 29
"Zoe!" Takuya screamed, trying to break himself free of Lucifer's grip.
The light covering Zoe began to steadily turn black, completely hiding her in the darkness.
Takuya elbowed Lucifer in the stomach, wrenching himself free. He then proceeded to slam his father onto upturned pole, impaling him.
"You little shit!" Lucifer struggled to pull the jagged pole out of his chest.
Takuya ignored him, running over to where Zoe was. He attempted to pull her from the dark light, only to be burnt by it.
"What the fuck?" He cried, rubbing his sore arm.
"You can't do anything to free her!" The Lord yelled. "She will only come out once the process is complete, which shouldn't be much longer."
The brunette stared at the black covering, horrified by Zoe's agonized screams. "What are you doing to her?!"
"You shall see soon enough," he rudely replied. "She betrayed me, and she knew what the consequences would be."
"I'll kill you for this!" Takuya's eyes turned crimson.
Just then, Dante jumped up and wrapped a chain around his throat, choking him. Annoyed, Takuya grabbed hold of the chain and yanked it with all his strength. Dante lost hold of it from the force and slammed into a nearby tree. Normally the brunette would've laughed at the demon's stupidity, but this time he was too nervous about Zoe.
The light surrrounding Zoe slowly disappated, leaving behind a cloudy mist.
"Zoe?" Takuya called out, rushing to her side.
The blond looked up, her emerald eyes flashing with anger.
When Takuya saw her, he stopped in his tracks, breathless. Zoe slowly turned her head, her blond hair whipping around her face. Her angel wings were completely black, as were her clothes.
"What happened to her?" Kouji asked.
Kouichi glanced at him, then turned his attention back onto Zoe. "She's a fallen angel now."
"Zoe?" Takuya walked over to her, dropping to his knees. "Are you okay?"
Zoe didn't reply, only vacantly staring into nothingness. Takuya gathered her into his arms, where she fell limp.
"What did you do to her?" He demanded, his blood boiling.
"Isn't it obvious? She is no longer an angel, you idiot." Lucifer chuckled. "Once an angel is banned from Heaven, they're known as fallen angels. They pretty much look the same, besides the black wings or course."
Dante came up behind Takuya and laughed. "Aw, isn't that too bad? Well, at least a fallen angel is a step up from a regular angel."
Hearing Dante's voice suddenly alerted Zoe. She flew out of Takuya's arms and smashed Dante into a building. Surprised, Takuya looked back to see Zoe pounding into the demon repeatedly.
"What the fuck! Get off me!" Dante cried, trying to shield himself from the blows.
"Get him, Zoe!" Takuya excitedly called out. "Beat the shit outta him!"
Lucifer looked at the Lord. "Well, I gave you your parting gift, now it's time to finish you off."
"I don't think so," he angrily replied, a ball of light forming in his hand.
While those two were distracted, Takuya quickly made his way over to his friends.
"You guys okay?" He asked, taking hold of the chain around Kouji.
"We're fine," Kouji replied as Takuya ripped the metal off him.
Kouichi looked over at Zoe and Dante. "Wow, your girl's kicking his ass."
Takuya smirked, ripping off yet another chain. "That's my angel."
"Fallen angel," J.P. corrected. "How do you feel about that?"
"As long as she's okay, I'm not worried about it," Takuya said. "Besides, she looks good in black."
Kouichi laughed. "By the looks of the fight, she seems okay. You can tell that Dante is freaked out."
"Well, what about those two?" Kouji asked, gesturing at the battling rulers.
"That's easy," Takuya said. "Wait for one of them to kill the other. Whoever is left standing is the one I'll fight."
"So you're just gonna wait?" Kouji cocked an eyebrow.
Takuya snorted. "Hey, give me a break. Either way, I'm in for a fight. I really don't want to take on both of them, do you?"
The three of them vehemently shook their heads. "No, we're good."
"Thought so." Takuya began to watch Zoe and Dante again. "C'mon Zoe! Kill him!"
"Shut up!" Dante yelled.
Zoe punched Dante in the face, sending him backwards. A ball of fire began to form in Dante's hand as he recovered.
"You'll pay for this, you bitch!" He swung his arm, trying to fling the flame in her direction.
Zoe evaded the attack, a ball of light forming in her own hand. However, this time, the light was black. She didn't miss her target.
Dante screamed as the darkness sizzled his skin, leaving behind painful blisters and burns. "I'll kill you!"
He tackled her to the ground, hard enough to leave a crater in the concrete. The blond rolled them over, then grabbed a discarded blade. Sitting on top of him, she slashed it across his chest, a squirt of blood spraying onto her. Dante grabbed hold of the blade, tipping it upward. He managed to slice it upward, straight into her neck. Zoe flew backward, holding a hand to her now gushing neck.
"Zoe!" Takuya called up to her. "You okay?"
For the first time, Zoe spoke. "I'm fine. Just stay back while I rip him apart!"
Takuya grinned. "Will do!"
"Do you guys got any popcorn?" Kouichi joked.
A moment later, an angel was hurled into him, sending them both to the ground.
"Ow!" Kouichi opened his eyes to see the angel lying on top of him, her head on his chest.
"Dammit," the angel muttered, rolling herself off.
Kouichi stared at her beautiful dark hair and icy blue eyes. "Hey, hottie. If we survive, do you wanna go out sometime?"
Jasmine gave him a disgusted look then kicked him in the ribs before flying away.
Kouji burst out laughing. "Denied!"
"Fuck you. I know she wants me," Kouichi replied, brushing himself off.
"Just keep telling yourself that," J.P. joked.
There was an explosion as Lucifer shot an onslaught of fireballs towards the the ruler of Heaven. Buildings burst into flames, trees collapsed, and telephone poles caught fire. The bearded man retaliated with his own wall of light, sending it straight into the Devil. Lucifer was thrown back from the force, stilll greatly amused.
"Isn't this just fun? Just like old fucking times!" Lucifer jumped up, noticing a nearby sword. "You are too weak, old man! Just give up and I promise to give you a quicker and less painful death!"
"I don't think so," he shot back. "If I die, I'm taking you with me!"
"Sure, that's what they all say. You may have the power, but you lack agility and physical strength." Lucifer tackled him to the ground, then pinned him with one hand.
He used the other to send a burst of fire directly into the Lord's face. The heat burnt him, but he was able to heave the Devil off seconds later. He then proceeded to send yet another sphere of light at him. Lucifer hissed through his teeth as his skin was charred. Just as he was about to be attacked again, he quickly grabbed the blade he had spotted. He swung it, hitting his desired target.
The bearded man's eyes widened in shock, blood seeping out of the perfectly straight line in his neck.
"I really am disappointed in you," Lucifer sneered. "You've definitely lost your touch, old man. This fight was nothing more than a joke."
The man remained silent, a look of defeat in his face. A moment later, his severed head slid off his body with a sickening thud. His body collapsed in a pool of blood, then lay there unmoving.
The angels froze in horror, staring at their dead leader with their mouths gaped open. The surrounding demons laughed sadistically, then began to slaughter the astonished angels in a frenzy of blood.
Zoe paused from her battle with Dante to glance at the lifeless body, her green eyes emotionless. She then turned her attention back onto Dante, kicking him into a tree.
"Holy shit," Takuya said. "That didn't take long at all."
Lucifer burst out laughing. "For the so-called 'mighty' leader, that was one of the most pathetic fights I've ever had the displeasure of being bothered with. Let this be a lesson to you. If you wish to die less painlessly, give up now while you still have a chance!"
"Stop it," Takuya hissed at him. "Just stop this bullshit already."
Lucifer smirked. "Now why would I do that? I have basically taken over the earth by the looks of it. Now that their precious god is dead, who will protect and rule them?"
"Do you honestly think this is going to work out, you stupid bastard? You have enough crap on your plate ruling Hell. What makes you think you can keep track of Heaven and earth as well?" The brunette scoffed.
"I have no care about Heaven. If they're smart and retreat, then they can nominate some other weak little fuck to be their ruler. All I care about is earth and enslaving the survivors," Lucifer replied.
Takuya bore his eyes into his father's. "Not if I have any say about it."
"Do you really think you can stop me? You saw how simple it was to kill the moron in the white, and he was probably stronger than you. My son, you don't stand a chance against me."
"We'll see about that," Takuya growled, his body heating up.
"Fine. Have it your way," Lucifer said, throwing himself forward.
Kouji looked at his twin. "Well, we got two fights on our hands. Takuya and Lucifer, and Zoe and Dante. How do you see the outcomes as?"
Kouichi sighed. "I can see Zoe beating the little shit, but I'm not sure about Takuya. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the Devil is no joke. This is as bad as it can get, and if Takuya survives, he's a lucky bastard."
