Angel Wings, chapter 23

Amy47101: Okay, back it up people! All you guys with the pitchforks and torches and... WTF?! YOU! Yeah, you! The one with the grenade launcher! Put that thing down! Geez, put your weapons down! Let me speak for a moment. Yeah, I know I'm an evil person for TWO cliffhangers in a row, but the timing was to good! Maybe I should add a third cliff...

Holy shit. WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET A TANK?! DISCLAIMER DUDE!

*Pops out of the tank*

Disclaimer dude: Yeah?

Amy47101*eye twitching*: WTF, man? Why are you siding with them?!

Disclaimer Dude: Cause I hate my job. I quit!

Amy47101: SHIT! SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, DO THE DAMN DISCLAIMER AND GET ME OUT OF THIS MESS!

Eleanor*walks in*: What the hell...?

Amy47101: Eleanor! Thank Arceus! Do the disclaimer!

Eleanor: But don't you have a guy for that...?

Amy47101: He quit! And he's driving the tank!

Eleanor: Okay, Okay! Amy47101 does not own pokemon! Get on with the story! Hurry!

(P.S. There might, no, will be some swearing in this chapter. Mostly coming from Flare. But considering the situation you would be too.)

(Eleanor )

"What do you mean 'I don't fucking believe it?!" hollered Flare. "You just revealed our fucking wings! What the hell?!"

I was surprised at the language she was using. Yeah, Flare got angered easily, but I never saw her get this mad.

"I'm so damn pissed off right now I might- I'm gonna-" she let out a roar of anger, and... burst into flames?!

"Hydro Pump!" yelled Aqua as the jet of water shot from her hands towards Flare, putting out the flames instantly. Slowly, Flare unclenched her fists, and shivered.

"I hate the damn water." she said.

"Why did you reveal us, Dusk?" asked Wynter.

"Because we needed know about each other."

"NEEDED?!" screamed Flare. "I'll tell you what you need! A swift kick in the ass and a bonk upside the head to knock some common sense into your brain! What if one of us, just one, wasn't a winged-"

"We're Angels, Flare, not 'winged kids' or 'winged freaks'." said Dusk.

"I don't give a flying fuck if we were winged kids with Milotic tails and Eevee ears! What if one of us wasn't an 'Angel' or what ever the hell you want to call us! Huh?! Did you even think about that?!"

"I did. I already had my suspicions about Eleanor and Carter. Dash was a dead giveaway with his super speed and how he looses control of it when he so much as looks at a piece of candy. Dawn was practically a giveaway, too. Ever wonder how she could answer those extra credit questions that we haven't even learned about it? Her gift is being physic. So, knowing answers to all questions, seeing the past, present, future, or whatever else she can do. You and Forrest? Don't make me laugh."

"Laugh, at what?!"

"You don't think I didn't hear your conversation back in the infirmary, the day that Forrest 'collapsed from exhaustion'? More like he collapsed after he lost control over his powers of nature. Then you go and confess that you have wings to him, and were trying to figure out if Cocunas' Angel was one of us. She is."

"She?" asked Dawn. "Why do you suspect that it is a 'she'?"

"I don't suspect it. I know it. Eleanor, why don't you tell us about what you did?"

I flinched slightly from his question.

"What else do you know?" I asked, deciding to ignore the question.

"I obviously know about our powers. Dash is Speed, Aqua is Water, Forrest is Nature, Dawn is Physic, Flare is obviously Fire."

"What about you?" asked Surge.

"Shadows. Why do you think I'm able to sneak around without getting caught?"

"How about the last four of us? You haven't said anything about Surge, Eleanor, Wynter, or I." said Carter.

"I honestly didn't know about Wynter or Surge. I assumed that they were the last two Angels when Clara was looking at you guys, mumbling about the ten Angels being here."

"Powers, huh? Then what's ours?" said Surge. I could tell he was testing him, seeing if what he was going to say was true.

"I'm making another assumption. I'm guessing, considering the pattern, that Wynter has powers over Ice and you have powers over Electricity."

"You assumed correctly," said Wynter. "But what pattern?"

"Our names. Think about, Dash, Speed. Wynter, Ice. Flare, Fire. Seeing what I'm getting at?"

"I can see it," said Forrest. "But Eleanor and Carter has no name resemblance in any way."

"Not if you do your research. Carters name has two meanings; One, he who drags the cart,"

A few snickers came from Dash and Surge.

"And B, the wild one. It's obvious that a cart-dragging Angel won't be much help to us. So his powers have to have something to do with wild pokemon."

"Shapeshifting." muttered Carter. "I can shapeshift."

"Really?!" asked Aqua with a squeal. "Do it! Do it!"

"Um... Well, uh..."

"He doesn't want to because it can be painful," I said. I turned my head towards him. "Right?"

"Well, Cala has been making me stay up late practicing. So it's not that painful anymore, and I've actually been working on changing to humans. I'm pretty good at that."

"Change into Eleanor! I wanna see this!" exclaimed Aqua. Carter sighed, and closed his eyes. A golden light surrounded him, and then he became an glowing white outline of a human. The outline grew shorter, and the hair grew longer while the clothing went from a suit and tie to a dress. Once done with what looked like an outline of me, the light faded away, showing a mirror image of myself.

Well, almost a mirror image. His, or maybe it's a her, now? Had brown hair and gold eyes instead of blonde and silver.

"I really don't know if I should call that incredibly creepy or amazingly awesome." I said. "You got the hair and eyes wrong, though."

He... She... grabbed a strand of hair, and looked at it.

"Damn." he/she said. The voice was an exact copy of mine. "We got everything to the voice right. Why can't we fix the hair and eyes?"

"Guess you'll have to get contacts."

"Arceus, this is incredibly freaky, seeing Eleanor talk to almost herself!" cried Dash while he put his hand against his head in a stressed manner. Carter-Eleanor smirked, and repeated the same process as before, but was Dash with brown hair instead of tan and gold eyes instead of brown. Dash looked at this, and slumped over anime style.

"Seriously, dude?" he asked.

"Yep."

"You're cruel."

"I know." said Carter-Dash as he changed back.

"What about pokemon? Can you do that?" asked Forrest.

"Yes, but there's two downfalls. One, it's much more painful then changing to a different humans. My muscles need to match the muscles of the pokemon. And two," he looked down, embarrassed. "I'm naked when I go back."

There was a few moments of awkward silence, before everyone was laughing. Well, except for Dusk, who just stood there, head turned to the side, trying to hide the smile turning up at the edges of his mouth.

"Back to the main topic, please." said Dusk when everyone quieted down. "Eleanor, do you know what the meaning of your name means?"

I thought about it for a moment.

"I really don't know. My dad always called me his little light when I was a kid, so I always assumed that it had something to do with light."

"That's what it means, Eleanor. Light."

"But light has a lot of meanings." said Dawn. "It could mean a light in the dark, healing, leading..." she trailed off, looking at me.

"What?" I asked. Everyone was staring at me, coming up with something that I wasn't.

"Leading light..." mumbled Dawn. "Eleanor what's your powers?"

I smiled at this, and, to the shock of everyone, took Dusks wrist that was broken, and concentrated. Focusing all my powers, I willed the bone to mend together, for his arm to heal. Once knew it was okay, I took a small step back.

Hesitantly, Dusk removed the cast, and flexed his wrist, turning it around, stretching the stiffness out.

"Healing." he said.

I nodded, and felt my knees buckle. There was a collective gasp, and everyone was around me, asking if I was okay.

"I'm fine," I insisted. "That was just the biggest healing I ever did. I'm not to sure how it works, but I think that in order to heal something, I need to give some of my own energy to that person to speed up the healing."

"Are you sure your okay?" asked Carter.

"I'm fine. Just tired. But, wow, I was surprised it worked. Never healed an actual bone before."

"At least I don't have to were this annoying cast anymore. Ugh, the color. It's so bright that it's practically glow in the dark." he thought for a moment. "Why didn't I get a choice in the matter, anyways?"

"Oh, I can't imagine why." said Carter as he shot a glance at Dash, who snickered. Somehow, I knew that they had something to do with Dusk and his pink cast.

"Dusk, I don't think it would be smart to walk around with out a cast." said Dawn.

"Why? The bone healed, and it's perfectly fine."

"And how will you explain to the teachers why you're not wearing it? You can't tell them Eleanor healed it. They will think your crazy and send you to a shrink."

Dusk grumbled a few words, before begrudgingly putting the cast back on his hand.

"So... What now?" asked Surge as he nudged a rock with his toe. We were all silent, thinking about how we are going to deal with just finding out that we're Angels, and having to be separated tomorrow.

"We set off," I said as I got up. "We set off to our Ranger Bases, and work our asses off to get to top ranger position. When we do that, they'll send us to the Ranger Union, here in Almia. We're a tough team to beat, and we may be super powered, flying freaks, but one thing is for sure," I held out my fist. "We're Angels. For success."

"For a speedy return," said Dash.

"For happiness to us all," chirped Aqua.

"For fiery determination," yelled Flare as she slapped her hand on top of Aquas.

"For electrifying adventures," boomed Surge.

"For smart decisions," Dawn said.

"For our future ahead," said Dusk with a nod.

"For a peaceful moment every once in a while," said Forrest with a small smile.

"For the friends we have now, and those we will make in the future," whispered Wynter.

"And, finally, for the gift of being able to wake up, knowing that you aren't alone," said Carter, putting his hand on top of ours grinning like crazy.

(No P.O.V)

When Eleanor woke up the next day, she and Carter were standing by the Pueltown docks, watching as their eight friends boarded a ship to go around to the other regions and islands. Although the were completely ecstatic and overjoyed for their friends, they couldn't help but feel sad. It was like watching a family member move away. They were a close knit group of friends, and now they were being scattered into other regions, practically separated from each other.

"It's not for forever, though." thought Eleanor as she watched her waving friends, some, specifically Aqua, leaning over the edge. "We can keep in touch via voicemail. And we promised each other that we'll become top rangers."

As the Angel of Healing and the Angel of Change watched the eight other Angels sail away, the two felt a fiery determination burning up inside them. They would become top rangers. And they would see each other again.

Angels never break their promises.

Somewhere very far away...

"I'm impressed," said a man to his purple eyed comrade, who stood tall and proud in front of his desk. The man had his back to the man, flipping through photos of ten different teenagers. There were close ups of some them, and others as a group. All with wings like those of Angels. "These are phenomenal. Might I ask how you got them, without them seeing?"

"They may be Angels, but they aren't as smart as they think. They were flaunting their wings. And that invisible flying camera you let me use?" the purple eyed man chuckled, shaking his head. "Almost to easy."

"Hm..." said the man, pausing on the picture of a boy with brown hair and gold eyes.

"Is that him, sir? Should I retrieve your son?"

"That boy is useless and dead to me." said the man as he crumpled the picture in his hand, and carelessly let it fall to the floor. "I have a new son, Purple Eyes. He's everything I wanted that he could never be."

"But sir! His powers are useful!"

"Yes, they are very useful, and so are the others. But if they are still Angels, then they will fight us instead of with us. Do you understand?"

"But-"

"Do you understand, Purple Eyes." he said, but not in a question. More like a command for Purple Eyes to understand his logic.

"Yes, sir." said Purple Eyes through gritted teeth.

"Good. Besides, Purple Eyes, my son is no longer interested in his brother," he said as he turned around, shadows concealing all distinguishable features. He placed a single picture on the desk. A girl, with blonde hair and silver eyes. On her face, a soft smile. "But rather, her."

Purple Eyes immediately recognized her, and his eyebrows furrowed in anger.

"You remember, don't you?"

Purple Eyes stiffly nodded.

"Yes. Here is your assignment. Watch the other nine. Figure out their likes, dislikes, interests, and all that. When the time is right, we will retrieve them. As for her, I want you to send the grunts after her."

"To be captured or eliminated?"

"Captured. We don't want to make my son angry, and we all know what happens when he get's angry. I want her back, unharmed. If the grunts fail, then I will send some higher ups after her." he paused, and turned back around in his chair, looking out the window into the night sky. "She is our new target."
