Previously on 12
Sora sits in Kairi's room.
"We're getting more flame flares recently than ever,"
Sora and Cloud shake hands.
"Keep her close, I smell the demons stench coming,"
Sora and Roxas stand on a wharf.
"Have you heard Clouds hypothesis on a flame flare could represent?"
A shadow-human figure disappears into the night.
"If we assume that Cloud is right…"
Two shadow figures appear from a portal of darkness.
"…and that Flame Flares are Demonic Teleportation…"
The shadow-human figure laughs into the night.
"…then we can also assume that he is after those girls,"
Sora is standing on top of Kairi's house, talking to Cloud.
"Is something wrong?"
"Sora, we need you to come to Midgar straight away, there's a small problem,"
Sora sighs, and disappears in a flash of light.
Chapter 9: Shirt, Jacket, Jeans, Converse
It was 11:00pm in Midgar, and Cloud was looking through some books when Sora had appeared in a flash of lightning. His wings retraced into his back, but he kept his halo above his head, for a source of light. Sora dusted of his Jacket, and looked down to see he was still wearing his funeral suit.
"Oh, shoot," Sora muttered, and snapped his fingers, changing the white dress shirt to a plain dark blue shirt, Jeans and Dark Blue converse.
"There we go," Sora smiled, and he looked up to see Cloud looking at him.
"What?" He asked.
"You finished?" Cloud asked him.
"Lets see, shirt, jacket, jeans, converse, yep, finished," Sora smiled at him.
Cloud merely rolled his eyes, and walked down the hallway, followed by Sora, where they entered a rather large room, with all of Haven's Elite all standing around. Sora quickly managed to locate Roxas, who was standing near something.
"So, whats up?" Sora asked, clearly not using his mind reading abilities to find out what the group had wanted.
"Take a look," Zack gestured to something that was being blocked by Leon and Roxas.
Sora walked over, until he was able to see what everyone was looking at. Sora, being the trained Guardian Angel that he was, was not shocked when he saw Wakka lying on the floor, unconscious.
Sora bend down, and began to look at Wakka's body, checking for something. He checked his temperature, and then looked up to Cloud, and said, "You felt how hot he is?"
"Yeah, he's 41.5 degrees," Cloud stated.
"And he's been knocked out for about 5 days…what's the temperature outside?" Sora called out, and Zack stuck his hand one of the windows.
"Hmm, its about 12.3 degrees during the day, 4.7 degrees at night," Zack rotated his hand a bit, before bringing it back inside.
"There's no heaters on," Sora muttered, before he stood up and rose his voice, "So you tell me how a Guardian Angel, in a lot less than 20 degrees temperature for 5 days becomes that hot,"
Roxas, Leon and Zack all shrugged, but Cloud, who had been staring at the body, suddenly reached out into the air space that was in front of him, and began to grasp at something. Then he moved his hand away from the space, and slowly brought it back into it.
"Found something?" Sora asked.
"Put your hand here," Cloud motioned to an area away from Wakka, and Sora complied.
"Now, draw it forward," Cloud said, and Slowly, Sora began to do so, noticing that as he did, his hand, and most of his arm began to get hotter.
"That's not right, is it?" Cloud asked Sora, but Sora was concentrating on something else.
Sora began to move his hand away from Wakka as if he had found something. Everyone in the room began to slowly follow his footsteps, watching him look this way and that and his hand twitching as he did.
Then he stopped, and his arm went up, and then down. He stood in the place where he had been waving his arm, and began to raise the palm of his hand over his head, acting like a mime in a box.
Zack leant forward to Roxas and whispered, "What is he doing?"
"It looks like he's working something out," Roxas whispered back.
Sora, who was looking up and staring at what appeared to be his own hands, look straight at the group and smiled.
"Got it," He smiled, showing off all of his teeth.
"Got what?" Leon asked, But Sora had already pulled out his mobile phone and called someone.
"Cid, is that you?" Sora asked.
"Of course it's me, what do you want?" The sound of an old, angry man reached Sora's ears.
"Cid, can you locate my position for me," Sora asked.
"Why, can't you remember where you are," The sentence was quickly followed by laughter, to which Sora rolled his eyes.
"Ok, you're in Midgar…What are ya doing in Midgar, I thought you were stationed at Destiny Islands?" Cid asked.
"Never mind that, now, I need you to check for Flame Flares in the area," Sora said.
"Okey-dokey," the sound of keys clattering was heard for a few moments, until they stopped.
"Ok then lets have a look…Sora, you might not know this, but you are at this very moment standing in the middle of a flame flare,"
Sora laughed in triumph, and ended the call, "I knew it,"
"Knew what?" Roxas asked.
"Those flame flares are just big enough to fit a person, they are being used as demonic teleportation, like Cloud has been saying all along," Sora jumped up in success.
"Sora, that doesn't prove anything," Roxas rolled his eyes.
"You want proof,"
This was said by someone new, someone who until extremely recently had thought to have been missing. Everyone turned their head in shock, to see someone limping in. As the stranger stood in the light of the room, he revealed himself to be Tidus. He was still wearing his party clothes that he had been seen in last time at Kairi's birthday, although they were now covered in dirt.
"Tidus, what are you doing here?" Roxas asked with eyes wide open, while Cloud walked over to him and picked him up but the scruff of his neck.
"Cloud, what the hell are you doing!?" Sora asked him, a mixture of surprise and confusion in his voice, as everyone, except Leon stepped forward, with eyes wide opened
"On August 23rd, 1957, what did you do to escape prison after you were convicted of Jaywalking?"
"I told the judge I was a blind man, who had lost his Seeing Eye dog," Tidus muttered, to which Cloud put him down.
"I'm sorry for that, but he could have been an imposter," Cloud muttered to the rest of them.
As Cloud walked back, he stopped at Sora, and said, "You should have used your mind reading ability to know what I was going to do,"
"Cloud, right now my concentration is not on reading other peoples minds," Sora stated.
Cloud merely looked at his for a couple of seconds before he walked over to Tidus once again.
"So, you want to explain where you have been for the past couple of months?" He asked him, a little fiercely, as Tidus sighed, and began to explain his story.
"Selphie and I arrived home the night of Kairi's birthday, when all of a sudden I heard something. Suddenly something from out of the shadows stabbed Selphie, and before I could do anything, he knocked me out. The next thing I know, I'm lying in Selphie's parent's apartment, with no memory of what had happened for the past few months,"
"You realize you disappeared off our radars during that time," Roxas told him.
"How is that possible, we have angels of this dimension tracked through every dimension,"
"Well, apparently not every dimension," Zack muttered.
"What do you think it is?" Roxas asked Sora, but Sora was just staring at the spot, remembering something he had said to Kairi a couple of weeks before.
"Well, we detected low traces of Light and Dark Elements around Tidus's area,"
"Sora, is something wrong?" Roxas asked.
"Hmm?" Sora asked him.
"Is there anything wrong?" Roxas repeated.
Sora smiled, "No, nothings wrong,"
"Ok, We need to figure out what we are going to do," Roxas stood up
"Tidus, I suggest you take Wakka back up to Heaven, see if you can hurry up his healing, we should all head back, and protect the girls from anything else that could be happening, if this is a pattern, than our best bet is to stick close to them, and not let them out of our sight," Cloud muttered.
"But shouldn't we be looking for the person who is committing these supernatural murders?" Roxas asked.
"Roxas, our first priority is to protect the girls, its our law, you know that," Leon muttered.
"Right, if anyone hears, or sees anything strange, call us, and we'll all check it out, but in the meantime, I'm issuing Priority Orange," Cloud muttered.
"Which one is Priority Orange?" Roxas asked.
"Priority Orange is to constantly keep on your principal, no matter what" Leon muttered.
"Right," Roxas nodded his head.
"OK, so, everyone clear, keep to your principals, no matter what the cost,"
"Right," Everyone except Sora said, as he was still entranced with something the others could not see.
"OK, Tidus, get Wakka up to Heaven, and begin looking for who it is, everyone else, get back to your principals now," Cloud told them, and almost everyone nodded in agreement, before they all began to spin around and their feint outlines disappeared out of the room, however, there was one person still in the room, in the exact same position that he had been in for the past several minutes.
"Sora, did you not hear what I said," Cloud muttered walking over to him.
"No Cloud, being a Guardian Angel gives me impressive hearing, and I think you know that I heard every word you said, but there is one thing I must check before I leave here tonight, I promise you that after tonight, security of Kairi Faller will be increased, but I must search for one thing," Sora told Cloud, not moving an inch.
"And why must you search for this thing?" Cloud asked.
"Because if I am correct, then not even the Haven's Elite will be able to stop it," Sora muttered.
Cloud's eyes narrowed, "Bite your tongue, Sora, there is nothing that can defeat us,"
Sora merely sighed, "If you believe that, Cloud, but just remember where I come from, what I have learnt, seen…endured,"
Cloud looked at Sora for a few moments, before he turned and walked out the door, the sound of flames heard.
Sora finally stood from his spot, and took out his superphone.
"Cid, it's me again. Listen, I need you to do me a favor, Tidus should be in the medical area getting a checkup, I need you to look for traces of Light and Darkness in him…Because I think he went somewhere even you don't know…"
12------12
When Zack teleported into Tifa's home, the last thing he thought he was going to see was her lying on the ground, and in fact, when Zack did manage to teleport in there, he didn't see her. But he did hear someone groaning, unfortunately, he had mistaken it for a groan of tiredness, not a groan of pain.
"It's only me, sorry for waking you, had a meeting with the others, little bit of a disturbance, but everything is alright now,"
Another groan.
"You OK? You don't usually groan in your sleep," Zack took off his coat, and wrapped it in a ball before it disappeared, and then turned around, the worst case scenario staring back at him.
Someone was standing over Tifa, her groans now explained when he saw the large sword sticking into her chest, blood leaking out of her back, and someone in the shadows smiling, the only part of his body visible was his arm holding the sword.
Zack's eyes widened at the scene. His remarkable sense for what he had to do left him as he lunged. But before he had drawn his weapon the creature lifted up his arm, and grabbed him by the throat.
"No, no, no. No little Guardian Angel is going to stop me, not you, not some human child, not anyone," The voice sounded playful, almost as if what he was doing was something fun.
Zack struggled for a few more moments, and just before he lost breath, the Creature threw him across the room, and heard his body contact with the wall, Zack going limp in seconds.
The creature looked down just in time to see the remainder of Tifa be sucked into the sword.
"Hmm, the easy ones are finished, now, for the more difficult ones," The creature growled in a monotone voice, before something began to vibrate in his pocked.
The creature growled once again as he reached into it, and drew out a black flip phone with blood red marks on it.
"Yes, my master," The creature growled for a third time.
"I want you back here now, I have something to tell you,"
"Of course, my master," And the creature hung up, set fire to the phone, and closed his eyes, as he began to hum, and all of a sudden he burst into flames, licking up all of his body, before he vanished, the flames disappearing into the night with no sight that fire had ever been there, no smoke, no smell, no…nothing.
12------12
The fire disappeared as the Creature stepped into the main chamber of hell. He was wearing a Black suit with a red undershirt and tie. His blood red tail, and black horns stood out amongst the demons, and while there was a lack of a pitchfork, there was his most prized possession, his sword hanging from his back. Black creatures, known as the inferior heartless scattered around the hallway, but they dared not get in his way. They were nothing compared to what he was. Other Demons were not even aloud to see their ruler without a meeting. But this one, he was aloud access whenever he wanted, in fact, it was part of his job to be next to him.
Flames burst over their heads, as they heard the shrieks of human souls being ripped from their chests, or their genetics being changed, the most painful way possible. But at the end of this prestigious hall was their leader, their teacher, their Lord and Master.
He was sitting at the centre of the back hall, his black throne built from the skulls of humans. He wore black robes, and had jet-black wings twice as big as that of any angel, and a black halo, forever being burnt in an eternal blue flame. His face looked old, as if the flames had melted it. He had many names, Satan, Devil, Armageddon, but the one everyone else knew him by, everyone in hell was forced to call him…was the Dark Angel.
The Dark Angel was a being of colossal power, no one knew much about his past, except that a once he had been good colleagues with the one the demons and heartless feared the most. The Dark Angel didn't believe in Names, thinking them to be an insult. It was for this reason no one knew of the name he had before he had become the Ruler of Hell. Of course, he used the names of any Angel, thinking it to be an insult, but for those he regarded highly, he would use their rank, not even bothering to mention the heartless that roamed the area, like rats.
"I see you have dressed yourself with the finest human rags, is this honor for me? Or for someone else?" The Dark Angel muttered, in raspy voice, almost as if every breath he took was difficult.
"My lord, while with vermin, you must look as if you are king, after all, even vermin can be…quite useful," The creature muttered, dusting ash off of his suit.
"Humans are nothing more that disgusting creatures, why would you want to dress like one," The Dark Angel laughed.
Ignoring this, the creature asked, "Did you receive my latest gift?"
"Yes, Hunter, I received her, but you have merely given me one puzzle piece, and what good is one puzzle piece when I don't have the entire collection," The Dark Angel asked.
"Master, Finding these vermin is proving to be more difficult than you originally…" The Hunter began, but was cut off.
"YOU DARE IMAGINE I AM WRONG!"
Fire burst behind him as he leapt up, his face a wild rage. His age became redundant as his speed was that no normal man who looked his age could posses. Heartless shrieked as they scattered, and even some of the elder demons flinched, but not the hunter, he would not be known for having such a high status if he would flinch
"My Master, It has become apparent to me that he is hiding them from us, apparently he grew quite wise of your plan, and has placed his highest security on them.
"But that has not stopped you," The Dark Angel asked, more calm than he had been moments ago.
"Of course not, you see the three girls in the preparation chamber, and I have been scouting out an area for some time, which I believe holds one, if not two of them,"
The Hunter turned, and began to walk away, but the Dark Angel called out to him, "Beware your pride, Hunter, you may be good, but you have not been a Demon for as Long as Sora Twelve has been an Angel,"
At these words the Hunter twitched, ever so slightly, "That little boy is nothing compared to me,"
"That little boy is showing signs of a powerful adversary, many have died thinking they are the best, so you must remember to not let your mind believe that, else you will be easily defeated,"
The Hunter continued to hold his back to the Dark Angel, and said, "Yes, My Master,"
"I don't want any mistakes, you will find the others, they are the key, without them, all this planning will be for nothing, and I don't like it when I come up empty handed," The Dark Angel muttered.
"I will not disappoint you, my Lord," He muttered, and with that he burst into flames, yet not a bit of his hair fell to the ground.
The Dark Angel Rose from his chair, and walked into the centre of the hall. He rose his hands, and watched something engulfed in darkness lowered, and slowly touched a small black table that had appeared out of nowhere. The darkness disappeared, revealing a black box with golden symbols around it.
"Soon, soon I shall have…ULTIMATE POWER!"
At the Dark Angel Laughed, A mad laughter, echoing throughout the sanctum. The Heartless scattered throughout Hell, and the Laughter made by this Madman almost drowned out the screams and cries of the people that had been placed under his care, but if one knew of the previous lives these people had had, one would think that they deserved it.
Next Time On 12
Sora and Kairi stand on the beach
"Merry Christmas, Kairi,"
Kairi is opening Sora's gift.
"What is it?"
"It's known as an Angelic Charm,"
Riku is talking to Sora and Roxas.
"Guys, the band has been asked to play for the New Years Eve Show,"
Kairi Begins to fall to sleep.
"You think things will always be like this,"
Kairi falls asleep, and Sora looks worried.
"I used to,"
