"Fuck!" "Try again" Leo told Death as the ripper growled, focusing on his hands. After a good few seconds, the ripper's hands glowed and burned a bright crimson red, its glow licking his skin like flaring harsh flames. The glow then quickly died like a fire being killed by water as Death hissed in pain "You have to hold it-" "It fucking hurts" the ripper hissed at Leo, anger blaring in his eyes as the bleddon angel folded his arms "I don't care if it hurts, you need to be able to use your power with complete control" Leo firmly stated. Death glared daggers at the other boy as the horrid flaming glow returned to the ripper's hands... even if it felt like dipping his hands into lava.
Class 1A were currently out on the school fields, in the middle of a pe lesson, training and working on whatever they needed improvement on.
When Death's hands glowed for longer than a minute, Leo smiled "See? I knew you could do..." and his voice faded with a slight squeak when he glanced back up at the ripper who as glaring at him so intensely, the bleddon angel slowly took a step back "Death-" "Maybe I should also do some target practice today?" Death suggested with a growling hiss. Immediately with that comment, Leo bolted as fast as he could with the ripper chasing him closely behind.
Gamer sat by a tree close to the fields with Seraphina and Mangle, the back of his hands resting on his crossed legs, palms up, his eyes closed in attempts to tune out the world around him. Slowly, a bright orb of light sparked to life within his right hand as a small white bloomed rosebud grew within his left hand. "Wow...." Mangle smiled, leaning forward a little to look at what the fallen had done as he opened his eyes and looked down at it himself "Using two different powers at the same time- you're coming along great!" Seraphina stated as Gamer smiled a little "I wish I could do a little more than just an spark or flower bud-" "Don't be ridiculous" Mangle interrupted him "You've done so much within a few months". "She's right" Seraphina agreed with Mangle "When I was learning at the start, all I could do was make an orb of light the size of a tiny pee, it was years before I could get where you are now" she stated.
"I want to know why my Death is so obsessed with this pathetic excuse of an angel" Elissa smirked....
Gamer looked down at his hands, his smile dropping a little as the light flickered out and the rosebud died within his hands "Alright... Death and Angel were right about the chance of emotion effecting your powers" Seraphina muttered aloud before turning her head to Gamer "Hey, everything alright?" she asked.
"Do you really think a powerful and dangerous demon like him... would care about a powerless innocent angel such as yourself?" Simone asked another question "All you can do is heal others based on what you feel about them... you can do nothing else" she stated "You can't even heal yourself" she reminded him....
"Gamer" Seraphina repeated his name again, snapping the fallen out of his thoughts "Yeah- sorry" Gamer apologised "Just been... thinking lately" "Gamer, if you need help or someone to talk to, we're always here for you" Mangle offered yet he shook his head "No- I'm fine, really" he tried to assure them yet both girls gave him a look that said otherwise "Fine, you don't talk to us, but please, if you need to, speak to Mrs Holme at least" Seraphina told him. Gamer raised brow "Mrs Holme?... the school counsellor?" "Yeah- she's actually very nice" Mangle stated, earning a look from the other two "...what? I accidentally walked into her like several times during first year" Mangle told them, Gamer sighed as he turned his head back to Seraphina "Not that I don't appreciate you guys caring and looking out for me, but I'm seriously fine... promise" he told her. Seraphina narrowed her eyes at him "Right, but still... think about it, okay?" Gamer nodded his head in agreement with her words before they went back to practice.
"You said you didn't care if it hurts-" "I do when you're threatening to use it on me!" Leo yelled back at Death as he continued to run. He ran over to the first door into a building and opened it, jumping back in fear as Death glitched to behind the door, Leo stumbled back before running again and once he got a few feet away from the ripper chasing after him, Leo let out his wings.
Each wing was about the length of his body and a little longer, mostly white with red and grey feathers bleeding through the middle of them.
With the flap of his wings and a jump, Leo was up in the air, a good feet off the ground as he breathed in relief, looking down at the ripper demon who was glaring up at him. 'Thank god ripper demons don't fly' the relieving thought sung in his head before Leo's eyes widened a little at the dark smirk drawn across Death's lips and with a simple crack of the knuckles of his right hand, a flash of light flickered over his body as he now stood in 'God Mode'. Leo raised a brow 'Why did he.... he still can't fly tho-' Leo's eyes shot wide as he barely dodged a fast-flying rock. Death picked up another rock, letting it heat up in hand until it turned pitch black before pegging the burning stone at the bleddon angel as Dark and Skyler quickly ran over to him "Death- the hell are you doing?!" Dark questioned as the ripper turned his head to the inferno demon "I'm killing birds with stones" Death stated, turned his head back up at the bleddon angel in the sky and pegging another rock at him "Death- stop it!" Dark snapped. "Yeah..." Skyler agreed, picking up a tiny stone herself "Your tactic's off" she stated, throwing her stone at Leo and successfully hitting him in the leg "Ow!" the angel winced as Skyler turned her head back to both Death and Dark, getting a look of disapproval from the inferno demon yet a dark smirk from the ripper "She's my new favourite" Death stated to Dark before grabbing another stone and pegging it up at Leo as Erik quickly made his way over to the group.
Dawn sat on the stands with Angel as the reaper held the Dark Stone within her hands, looking at it as Dawn worked on her homework from her last class. "...does staring at it do something or...?" Dawn's words faded as Angel shook her head "Sorry- it's just still a hard thing believe, you know?" "Given my current situation, kinda? yeah" the human answered the reaper before looking at majority of the reaper's classmates using their powers and weapons "The Human Realm was all I knew, everything I've seen so far whilst here feels like I'm high or something" she added as Angel laughed a bit. "Yeah, I guess that's reasonable" the reaper laughed as Dawn scanned the field, eyes landing on Anti practicing his combat with both Nilima and Akire "Is his name really 'Anti'?" the human questioned as another laugh slipped through Angel's mouth "No- some celestials choose to change their names, mostly to leave behind the past and have a fresh start" Angel explained. Dawn nodded her head "Right... can I ask you another question?" "Sure" Angel smiled "Are you two a couple?" Dawn asked as the reaper laughed again "Fuck no, we're just friends" she told her as Dawn raised a brow "And... 'just friends' look at each other like they're gonna kiss? cuz that's a little like what Gamer and that 'Death' guy seem to do a lot" the human stated as Angel shook her head. "God knows what's happening between those two, but seriously, Anti's just a friend, nothing more-" "My fucking god- you have a crush on him!" Dawn quietly exclaimed as Angel's entire body stiffened and froze, skin paling by the second "N-no... no! I don't" the reaper stated "I can't". The excitement died a little from Dawn's eyes, slowly replacing with worry "...what do you mean-" "Look, I'm not ready to date anyone because of what happened a hundred-an-eighty years ago, okay?" Angel told the human whilst cutting her off "I don't want to be in that state again- I don't want to be vulnerable and I don't want to be used again" the reaper harshly stated, glaring at the ground. "God... who would even want someone as cold and broken as me?" Angel questioned, flinching a little as Dawn gently held her shoulder "Someone who actually understands and cares about you more than they care for the world" the human girl answered, getting a small smile out of Angel.
Grey Army Base, District 1, Dark Nation, England, Mid
Lev stepped into the Command Room where the Grey Leader and several of his soldiers, along with his x-soldiers; Elisa, Mia, Jorah, Kenneth and Hans, who has finally gained enough strength to be walking around without an ounce of pain. The seer's eyes gazed around the room as two soldiers closed the door behind him "What's...." Lev's voice faded as the Grey Leader motioned a soldier over who handed him an orange flannel shirt, one taken from Dawn's bedroom back in the Human Realm. The Grey Leader took the shirt within his hands as he took out Lev's heartstone from his pocket, holding it tightly within his hand. The leader's dull grey eyes closed as his veins glowed a dark blue, at the same time, Lev immediately clutched his chest as his eyes burned a bright jade-green glow whilst he hissed in pain.
Angel and Dawn happily talked before the human girl's body stiffened "Dawn?" the reaper raised a brow and a second later, her eyes widened as she watched Dawn's eyes turn grey.
The Grey Leader's eyes opened, burning a horrid glowing mixture of red and grey as he smirked "Found you~".
His words echoed throughout her ears as Dawn quickly covered her ears and closed her eyes "Dawn! what's wrong?!" Angel asked, holding the poor girl's shoulders "Dawn, please listen to me-" "Get out of my fucking head!" the human girl yelled, taking the reaper back a little and catching the attention of a few other students close by "I need you to hear me-" "GET OUT!" Dawn screamed, followed by what felt like a cord snapping within her.
The Grey Leader flinched a bit as the connection snapped.
His eyes fading back to their dull grey, the glowing veins disappearing.
"FUCK!" the leader's voice roared as Lev feel to the ground, gasping for air as the glow in his own eyes faded back to their crystalled jade colour. The Grey Leader glared down at Lev before motioning one of his soldiers to step forward "Take him to the infirmary and stay with him" he ordered, gaining a nod from the soldier before they grabbed Lev by the arm, pulled him up onto his feet and dragged him out of the room.
Dawn breathed out in relief, opening her eyes as tears ran down her face "...he knows" she told Angel before the reaper tightly hugged her "I'm sorry-" "No, the only person who should be sorry is me" Angel told her "I failed to keep you safe".
