Chapter 70: The End

Yusei's POV

"Oh, Yusei," Brehnam greeted. I glared warningly. "A little birdy told me the curse on the Guardian Angel has activated and will kill her and the child soon."

"Era will survive. The Healer Angels will make sure of that," I retorted.

"Even though we have enough power to destroy this world and make it into the Underworld, we still don't have enough power to take over the Afterlife. Of course, you and I both know once this world falls, it is only a matter of time that the Afterlife will," Brehnam responded. "And without your precious mate, there is truly no hope in victory. We will take this planet and eventually every world."

"Angels are still around. We'll make sure you'll fail no matter what," I refused to believe.

"But how can you do that with us being more powerful than ever before? The only time we will ever be powerful unless I die. And if I die, the cycle will happen again and another Day of Darkness will arrive," Brehnam responded smugly.

"How do I take that curse off of Era?" I asked.

"Other than the Crimson Dragon doing so since he's the only one with enough power? Considering the curse is linked to me and my power, despite not being the one who cast it," he began as he inched closer and I got ready to defend myself, "if you want to destroy the curse and lift it from your precious angel, you will have to destroy me." He neared close enough so we were glaring at each other and our faces were close enough that we were breathing on each other. "Of course, do you really want to do that? Kill me and bring another Day of Darkness nine months from now just to save your mate?" I glared angrily. "Is that what Era would want?"

That made me pause for a moment as I knew she would rather die than have another day like this happen again. Of course, Brehnam didn't have a successor and they wouldn't have another chosen demon king to take over. But I didn't think that would change Era's mind at all on having another Day of Darkness. My thoughts were cut off, however, as a blast hit my chest and I flew back.

I slammed into other waiting demons who grabbed me and held me in place while Brehnam neared closer. I fought to get free and resisted the overwhelming urge to cringe and wince at the dark energy being placed on my body. But these demons obviously were too strong with this extra strength and held me in place, though I could tell they were struggling a bit.

"Ah, Yusei… You care too deeply for your mate. The very thought of her distracts you from the situation you're in," Brehnam stated. "It's too bad I wasn't able to have Era for myself." I glared angrily as he mentioned that. "Oh, well, at least you'll both perish today and fall into your death. It is only a matter of time before Era falls into a death from a curse."

That did it. "I swear, Brehnam, let me go and we'll see how strong you truly are with today being the day it is," I told him trying to control my fury. Brehnam laughed and began to fly up with a powerful spell at ready to kill me.

"Okay, that's just not fair," came May's voice. A beam of light shot the demons off of me and destroyed them while another shot Brehnam back and made him release his deadly spell before it could be used.

I turned as May came up beside me. "Thanks, May," I told her.

"No problem," she agreed.

We turned and Brehnam flew up fury on his features. "I should've known it would be this shrimp of an angel," he growled.

"Well this 'shrimp of an angel' just destroyed two powered up demons in one blast and shot you back pretty hard," May retorted. "I don't care if there's another Day of Darkness. Considering you have no leader after you, we don't have a lot to fear other than unorganized demons destroying a city or two. And unorganized demons are like a horde of flies stuck in one spot, ease to kill. So you know what…" She looked at me. "As your superior angel, I am ordering you to put this guy in his place and kill his sorry butt. I'll keep demons off you, but I know you have more scores to settle with Brehnam than I do and have enough power to take him on your own."

I nodded and turned to Brehnam with a deadly glare. "You're about to be killed here and now, Brehnam," I told him.

"I will love seeing you try before perishing," Brehnam responded. Before he could even blink, I sent a powerful ball of light at him and sent him flying. When he caught himself, I activated a invisibility spell and disappeared. "Where are you?" he growled.

I fired a blast from behind him and it hit him hard in his back, just between the wings. He twisted around towards where I was but I quickly moved. I fired another powerful ball of light and hit him way too hard for him in the chest. I noticed a bit of blood drip from the corner of his mount and his wings were beginning to seem to strain as he flapped. He was growing weak.

"Okay, arrogant angel," Brehnam growled angrily. "Play time's over." He sent a strong, dark energized wind out making it difficult for me to stay in the air.

Eventually, the wind forced me into a building hard and my invisibility spell broke. I shook my head and narrowly dodged a ball of dark energy that I knew it was powerful enough to kill me if it hit. Brehnam rammed into me and held me for a moment before I slipped away as he slammed into a building head first, hard enough to create a dent in the building.

The demon king pulled himself out of the building dazed and a bit out of it with a bit of blood dripping down the side of his head from his temple. I smirked a bit as I noticed how weak he was, even with the extra power given to him by the Day of Darkness.

"How does it feel to be so weak? Despite being on the day where you're given more power that you will ever have?" I asked him.

"I. Am. Not. Weak!" he exclaimed and threw a ball of energy in me. I could sense the power in it and it wasn't as strong as I would've expected, but it could definitely deal some heavy damage if I took it.

I moved to dodge the ball when I noticed it following me like a homing missile. 'You have got to be kidding me,' I thought worried.

That's when Brehnam grabbed me and pulled me to a stop while the ball of dark energy hit me in the ball. I could feel my Spell Energy being sapped for a few moments before it stopped, but enough of my Spell Energy was taken to prohibit me from using any spells that would allow me to defeat Brehnam.

"How does it feel to be so weak?" Brehnam asked back grabbing me angrily. He threw me hard towards a building when I felt familiar arms grab me and stop me.

I pulled myself to hover on my own and turned to see Era there. "Era, what're you doing here?" I asked noticing the curse mark was growing slightly. And that worried me.

"I can't let you die here, Yusei," she responded. "I need to end this. Once and for all."

I then realized it. "Era, don't you dare do it," I told her sternly.

"Welcome, Guardian Angel of Light," Brehnam greeted. "Come to die as a warrior rather than an ill angel."

Era glared before darting up towards the atmosphere. "Era, stop!" I called but she didn't listen and kept flying.

I tried to go after her when Brehnam grabbed me and pushed me towards a building. "We still have some unfinished business, Yusei. We're not done until one of us is dead," the demon told me as I fought to get out of his hold. All I wanted at the moment was to stop Era from doing what she was about to do.

That's when a bright light, brighter than anything known to be possible, shined from the atmosphere blinding all of us. Brehnam, already weak enough, began to dissolve from the light as he let go of me.

"So… much power," he groaned. "Even if I fall now, there are still demons left in this Underworld. This won't be the end for long."

"You won't live to see that day," I told him and fired one last powerful beam. It hit him straight in the chest, above the heart, and he dissolved into dust and died. I turned and noticed demons across New Domino dissolving from the power of the light. "Era…" I muttered before darting to head up there.

Era's POV

I got up to nearly the top of the atmosphere. My angelic abilities allowed me to breathe as easily I could at normal altitudes up here.

"I'm sorry, Yusei," I whispered before calling out on every ounce of my power.

My body began to glow the brightest its ever been as I began to release the power to kill every demon in the world, including Brehnam with its energy. I could feel each demon as they faded to dust and disappeared to oblivion.

Once they were all gone, I called all that power back around me alone before focusing it towards the Stars of Darkness which has Brehnam's star there as well.

"This ends now!" I exclaimed and releasing the energy at the stars. The energy pierced right through and they each exploded and faded away into fragments before disappearing completely.

I began to wobble a bit in the air feeling weaker than anything before and closed my eyes weakly. I was about to fall when arms I knew like they were my own grabbed me and held me close to their owner.

I opened my eyes and looked at the face of the person holding me. "Yusei?" he greeted.

"Era, please," he whispered, "stay with me. Don't make me lose you." I could see tears bridging his eyes.

"I… had to make sure Brehnam couldn't kill you and the Day of Darkness never happened again," I whispered to him.

"And you did that. But you don't have to die like this," he told me. "Era, please, I need you here with me. More than anyone else, I need you. So don't die on me. Don't make me lose the one person I need."

"Seika needs you now," I responded. "Take care of her, okay?"

"Era, listen to me," he called and I felt him try to give me some of his Spell Energy. But it wasn't enough since he was still weak from his fight with Brehnam. I began to see a bit of light in my vision. "Era, listen to me, stay with me. Don't give up now."

"I'm sorry…" I whispered before light took my vision.

Third Person POV

Yusei watched in pure horror as Era's eyes drifted closed and he felt her go a bit limp. "Era! Era, please, come back to me!" he called trying to keep his tears in and out of sight. "Please, Era. You can't leave me like this. Please, Era…" He couldn't help it anymore as tears fell down his face.
