Angel Wings
Amy: Here I am! And I am still alone! And Jade threatened to kill me if I pulled her out of the Jade and Onyx Arc again... *sigh* I don't own pokémon.

"Are any other Top Rangers here?" I asked as Sven ran down the hallway, and we flew. Dash also ran, but he was still on his sugar high, so he wasn't really affected.
"Just my partner, Wendy." Sven said as he ordered Zap to attack some grunts. "She's a part of the grunt air force with her staraptor, Star. And I'll assure you that only us two will know about your secret. Something tells me we shouldn't go telling Prof. Hastings and Chairperson Erma about the Angel-Demon survivors?"
"Please?" I begged.
"Consider it done." Sven chuckled. "Just hide the wings before we get off."
"We've gotta find were they put our stuff." Dusk ordered.
"Already done." Dawn said. "I've been trying to locate were they put it since we got here."
"Stick together." Sven ordered. "We don't need to loose anyone else."
We quickly made our way through the somewhat cramped hallways, and took out as many grunts as we could. Apparently, Sven and all top rangers had a 'Vontonage' function on their styler, which made capturing the demon pokémon slightly easier, but was still a pain. I'm going to have to get Surge to fix the Angel Function into the main system if we ever can get into the Ranger Union. Soon, we came upon a room.
"This is it?" Dusk asked.
"Yep." Dawn answered. The door slid open, and we came upon... a trash dump.
"Aw, no." Aqua grimaced. Dawn shrugged.
"Give me a minute." she raised her arm, and slowly, nine plastic bags raised themselves from the trash heap, and landed in front of us. I opened it up, and saw my ranger uniform, my styler, and, of course, my weapon.
"Alright!" Flare cried as she ripped off the hospital gown and began to pull her uniform on. For the record, Forrests' face was utterly hilarious. And as red as a tamato berry. After the more modest girls went behind a trash heap to change, and Flare turned away from us guys. Soon, all of us were geared up and ready to go.
"What's our first order of operations?" Surge asked.
"To take over the boat." Sven said simply, pulling up a map on his styler. "If we can manage that, then we can not only arrest some people of Team Hellion, but also free the prisoners. I don't really think it'll be to hard. Without pokémon, the grunts are useless." he paused for a moment, reading some information on his styler. "Mostly, the pokémon used are from pokéballs, not demon pokémon. They're only obeying orders."
"So... basically not all the pokémon are demons?" Wynter said slowly.
"Yes. Just trainer pokémon. Easy to capture and set free." Sven again pulled up the map. He studied it for a moment, calling someone.
"Hello?" a girl with long, mint green hair asked in a whisper.
"Hey, Wendy. It's Sven. Just thought I'd let you know that I've got the nine rangers that went missing."
"You mean the graduates?"
"Yep. They're here and, by the way, they're also part of the Angel-Demon experiment, the one prior to this one. But we've gotta keep it on the quiet side."
"Prof. Hastings will have our heads if he ever found out." Wendy sighed. "But since Solana, Lunick, Kate, Keith, Summer, and Ben are still around, I shouldn't worry, huh?"
"Probably not." Sven chuckled.
"So... now that basically all security personal on this boat knows that they've escaped, and that you're really a ranger..."
"Yes, Wendy, we let all hell break loose."
"Alright! Meet up with you on the main deck!" Wendy declared before saluting with a wink, and hanging up.
"Hear that, Surge?" I asked.
"Hell yeah, I did." Surge chuckled in response, pulling out his daggers with a somewhat evil look in his eyes.
"Ha! Found ya, you nasty little things!" the demon girl that basically revealed I was an Angel.
"Duck Sven!" Flare yelled as she loaded her bow. As Sven dived for the ground, Flare let loose a bow that was engulfed in flames, and as it pierced that demon girls shoulder. The demon glanced at it momentarily, before she screamed in agony as burns and blisters began appearing across her shoulder, and traveling to the rest of her body. And then, just as the blisters and burns covered all visible skin, she burst into flames, and withered away to dust. Sven looked at the pile of dust that was once a demon girl ready to kill him, and then back at Flare, who was pulling her bow over her head.
"That was awesome." Sven chuckled.
"I know. It comes naturally." Flare smirked.
"Can all of you do something like that?"
"Yeah," I answered.
"It'll be easier if we react quickly." Dusk said, pulling up his own styler map. "We have to get above ground. Demons despise sunlight, so any little we've got, we'll take."
"That'll be a problem." Aqua said, also looking at her styler. "Look at the time." Slowly, we all lifted our stylers, minus Dash, who was to busy jumping from one side of the room to the next. As I read the time, my stomach tightened with nervousness.
"It's nearly seven-thirty." whispered Wynter.
"And judging by the date, season, and location," Dawn said, reading over the given information on her styler, quickly scanning it with her eyes. She looked up, an almost forlorn look on her face. "We've got about an hour before night hits us."
We flew out as fast as we could, Sven guiding us with as much calmness as he could muster. I couldn't blame him. He was a human. And he had no idea how to deal with the evil lying in wait.
"Sven, we need a game-plan!" I yelled as Zap shocked some more grunts and we captured some enemy pokémon. "We can't just barge in!"
"Yeah! What'll we do? Knock, and say, Mr. Kincaid, I presume?" Surge asked, a slight hint of his usual jokester coming out.
"Sure, if you want to be locked in a cage again!" Flare yelled, shooting some demon out of the way.
"You got a plan, then tell me! I have no idea how to handle these things!" Sven shouted from below.
"Do we have a pinpoint on Wendy?" Dawn asked, then reading something in Angelic from her book, and watched as a demon convulsed before withering away.
"Yeah, she's up above already!"
"Good! Sven, you need to get Wendy and get inside the control booth before the sun sets. Lock the door, and take out whoever is in there. While you do that, we will be fighting off demons. Don't let anyone in. No matter who you hear, who you think you see, don't even think about it."
"Demons can mimic voices." Dusk said. "Therefor, they can trick you into believing anything."
"And if they do trick me?" Sven asked.
"Then the result will ultimately be death."
"Way to be blunt." muttered Dawn. "But he's right. We'll be fine."
"But they probably have an army of these things on board!" Sven yelled as Surge took out another demon.
"And we've got the weaponry to beat them down." I said as we rounded a final corner, and burst into fresh air. But the battle wasn't over. A ton of pokémon were up here, some, if not most, from pokéballs. But there were a few Demon pokémon.
"Wendy!" Sven called as the said girl swooped down on her Staraptor, capturing as many pokémon as possible.
"Sven, help me out here!" she yelled as her Staraptor skillfully dodged and onslaught of attacks.
"You heard her, guys, go!" Sven yelled at us. "Wendy, you come with me!" with a nod, Wendy swooped down. Sven jumped on the birds' back with Wendy, while Star picked up Zap with her claws. They acted like it was completely natural.
"Okay, we need to take down the demons first." I said, indicating the menacing pokémon. I looked at Dawn and Forrest. "You two need to cover Sven and Wendy from the side. Wynter, you guard from behind. The rest of us need to take out as many pokémon as possible. Got it?"
"Right." Everyone said, nearly simultaneously.
"Alright! Let's go!"

"We're almost there." I muttered. Even from my point, I could see explosions. There was a battle going on, and it was big.
"(The sun'll be going down soon.)" muttered Eden.
"Then the demons come out." I growled. There was a silence. "C'mon, let's move!"

I was fighting besides Dash... and he had about as much control as a wild Rapidash. Which was very convenient, since the sun had just about set, and we're just about to face an onslaught of demons. Last I checked, Wendy and Sven had successfully breached the control center, and we now have Wynter, Dawn, and Forrest helping us. To tell the truth, I was slightly surprised at their level of fighting. Who would've thought that the timid, the bookworm, and the peacemaker had such skills in them? Not that I'm one to judge, but I most certainly didn't.
Most of the pokémon had been cleared away, and we were now taking care of the last few demon pokémon. Finally, the last pokémon was gone, and there was a silence. I was breathing heavily, along with everyone else. I never would have ever guessed how much running, dodging, and flying it took to take out all these pokémon!
"Guys," Dusk said, staring at the sky. "Look." I glanced up, and my stomach nearly dropped. There was no more sunlight. It was gone. And that only meant that...
Wings were flapping. And cackling was evident. Slowly, shadows emerged from below deck. I gulped, hoping to swallow back my fear, along with any nervousness. These creatures were like dogs. And they could most likely sense fear. One of them flew up in the sky, and bore his eyes into me.
Scratch the fact that they could sense fear, they knew fear.
I glanced around, and smiled, brandishing my weapon. I was surrounded by water. Maybe I could create one good attack, one good tidal wave, and wipe out all these nasty pieces of scum at once. But then only more would come out, and I knew that I can't manage one, let alone many, attacks like that. I'd be down for the count, and Dash is bound to run out and crash soon.
I glanced at him, and choked back fear. He was panting, and practically on his knees. He looked at me, and shook his head, before vomiting. Wether it was from crashing from the sugar high or the gut-wrenching pain that came along with the demon army, I didn't know.
"No, no Dash, not now." I muttered as I rubbed small circles on his back, trying to comfort him. He continued to vomit, before falling forward. I managed to catch him before he fell face first into his own vomit. I dragged him over to some random crates, and leaned him against them, before turning towards the demons. "Carter!" he turned, and looked at Dash. His eyes widened, and he cursed. Slashing through a couple demons before landing.
"Did he crash?!"
"What does it look like to you?!" I screamed. "What do we do?!"
"EVERYONE!" a new voice shouted. Then the horrid smell of a sickly sweet hairspray began to mix with the sea breeze. And, low and behold, was Kincaid.

"Demons," Hairspray Head said slowly, calmly, with his hands clasped behind his back. "Please excuse yourselves from the battle." there were a few grumbles of protest, before they all flinched from some sort of unseeable pain, and, well, vanished in puffs of black smoke. Somehow I knew they went back to their own domain.
"Kincaid," Dusk growled under his breath.
"Have you no shame?" Dawn asked. "You betrayed us, you betrayed everyone and everything that has to do with Rangers!"
"Wouldn't be the first time." smirked Kincaid.
"So why are you here then, Mr. Hairspray?" I demanded.
"To make a deal." Kincaid said as he shrugged his shoulders. "How 'bout this? You join us, and swear total loyalty to Team Hellion, then we will release all the test subjects and pokémon on this ship. Along with this, we'll return your idiot ranger friends." Crazy Gunman and Dawns mother stepped out, both holding pistols to the back of Sven and Wendys' head. Both held their hands in the air, Wendys' face set with cold determination, and Sven looking nonetheless happy about looking so vulnerable.
There was a long silence, no one daring to move or say anything. The only noise was the waves slapping against the boat. I could tell that Hairspray Head was getting impatient. Glancing at my friends, I knew that they were completely stuck too. We'd just be used as weapons to cause mass destruction, but if we don't, then they'll just create even more mutant kids...
Suddenly, two random guys wearing kimonos jumped from the sky, brandishing katanas. Where they mutants? They had Eevee ears...
Crazy Gunman and Dawns mother jumped back as the one with gold hair slashed at them. Simultaneously, the one with purple hair kicked Hairspray Head in the face. Then, and I least expected this, tons upon tons of bird-pokémon flitted around us, distracting the evil trio enough to have Sven and Wendy make a getaway, while the two katana dudes walked up to us. I noticed a mark on the purple-haired guys forehead that matched Dawns.
"Lady Dawn." stated the male.
"Eden," Dawn nodded in acknowledgement. Wait, that was Eden?! As in, the EEVEE?! So then the one with gold hair...
"TAKE THAT HAIRSPRAY HEAD!" I looked up, and gawked as Eleanor landed in front of us. The whole Warrior look? Awesome.
"Eleanor..." I said, still gawking.
"Carters' gonna catch a Beautifly if he keeps staring!" Flare shouted unnecessarily, grinning. I blushed, and muttered some profanities directed at Flare under my breath.
"Enjoy your time while it lasts." muttered Kincaid, a smirk growing on his lips. He reached for some sort of speaking device on his wrist, and his voice began to broad cast across the entire ship.
"Passengers of the Demons Fare," he said, voice echoing in the loudspeakers. "Plan X is going into activation, this is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. If you value your miserable life, get on an escape pod. Don't make it? Swim. Have a nice day!" he smirked evilly, while Crazed Gunman teleported. Kincaid got on a Gliscor, and Dawns mother entered the control booth.
"Plan X?!" asked Sven as he ran forward. "What in the world is that?!"
"You'll find out soon enough." Kincaid chuckled. "Although the timing was brief, it was fantastic to see all ten of the Angel-Demon experiment survivors together at once. Have a fantastic day, Angels." And with that, Kincaid began to take off.
"Wait!" yelled Wendy. "What's Plan-!"
Suddenly, we felt an explosion rumble across the ship, and noticed several pods shooting from the side of the ship and into the deep ocean.
"Oh god..." Sven thought as he looked over the railing.
"You don't think that..." Wendy and Sven looked at each other, as if acknowledging something.
"What is it?" asked Eleanor. "What do they plan to do?" Sven and Wendy looked at her, and then looked at each other again. It was Sven that spoke.
"They plan on sinking the ship."
