Angel Wars: Chapter 2

The group decided that the only way to capture Seigfreed was to hold a tournament. They set up and arena in a nearby city. Jet created posters that said, "Test Your Strength, your Agility, or anything else you want to test at the Tournament of Angelus quod Everto, Filiolus quod Diabolus." The tournament was not for another week, there had been no sign of Seigfreed since then.

"Do you think he will show at all?" Jet asked Pyro.

"He will I know it, there is no way Seigfreed will pass up this opportunity" Pyro said.

"No one even signed up yet."Julie said standing there wearing a gold gown with a silver belt and silver cloth flower on the left chest of the gown.Her hair had silver metal tubes holding her hair here and there making her look like a goddess.

"If you book them, they will come. Whatever that means I heard it somewhere before" Pyro said, "I'm positive people will sign up, I mean come on Deja will sign up, and whoever his master was. You remember that female demon" Pyro said while laying down admiring how beautiful Julie looked.

Julie's lip quiverd out a bit but just nodded in agreement.She looked over at Jet watching him walk about.

Killa sat on a building watching them"Hmmm what are they up to?"She asked herself as Deja sat next to her.

Deja picked up a flier for the tournament, "Master it is the Tournament of Angelus quod Everto, Filiolus quod Diabolus. The Tournament of Angels and Demons, Gods and Devils." Deja explained, "First prize is the girl, the purele. Maybe we should consider entering"

"there's no way he would give her up that easily..."Killa said watching them."We'll sign up but we need to keep an eye out for that damn human."She said reffering to Jet.

"Your scared of a human master?" Deja said while picking up another flier and ripping off the mail-in sign up forms. He handed one to Killa, "Here fill it out and i'll mail them for us."

"He's the tricky one my pal he'll get ya when you're not looking.."She said using her magic to form a pencil and magically making it write on the sign in paper on it's own.

"you really think a puny mortal can harm us?!" Deja said almost laughing in between words. He took the sign up forms and snuck over to the nearest post office and stuck them into the box. He then ran over to Killa waiting for her to give him more orders.

When he came back Killa smacked him in his forehead."Learn you idoit!Just because he is human doesn't mean anything they are just as deadly as those winged bitch angels."She hissed at him."Do not take my words likely keep them in your head and be on your guard."

"Yes Ma'am!" Deja said as he rubbed his forehead. "So what now, I mean the tournament isn't for awhile?"

"I geuss wait for a bit and see who enters."She said restign her chin in her palm.

back to the others....

Pyro was still admiring Julie when he finally built up enough courage, "Julie, um can I talk to you in private?"

"Yes Pyro?"She asked standing there.

Pyro and Julie walked off to an alley. Pyro checked to make sure no one was watching before walking back over to Julie, "In case my plan fails and you whined up getting captured by demons or angels there is something i need to tell you" Pyro said, "Or I'd rather show you" Pyro suddenly kissed Julie, "That is in case i never see you again"

Julie stood there blushing badly as he had just kissed her.Like a flash memories fluttered her mind standing there."I remember.."

"Please, tell me" Pyro whispered in her ear hugging her tightly.

Julie opened her mouth to say the words but was stopepd by a sudden noise.

"How cute and disgusting at the same time."Killa sai sitting on a trash can her legs crossed.

Pyro pushed Julie behind him and unsheathed his katana, "What are you doing here demon!" Pyro had the katana to Killa's neck. Jet ran in with his bow out and an arrow drawn aiming at Killa.

Killa chuckled."I'm not here to try to take her I'm going to do it the old fashion way."She snikered at them."I wouldn't be talking either you are part demon too now since you hold that cursed sword of yours."She said sitting there.

Pyro sheathed his katana and summoned Kageho, "Your right," He looked down at the blade. "Why are you here?" Jet fired his arrow, it passed inches away from Killa's face.

"to ruin your little romance."She said standing up on the trash can."See ya in the arena."She said and flew off.

Pyro made his Kageho disappear. Jet walked away to go get the mail. He turned back to Julie, "I'm so sorry" he said as he kissed her again, "Thats right, you were going to tell me what you remember"

As Jet walked to collect the mail a mysterious hooded figure approached him holding a letter, "My name is Dansun" the man said. Jet looked down and grabbed the letter so Dansun could join the tournament. When Jet looked back up Dansun was gone.

As Jet was confused about where Dansun went off to a young girl in her teens stood infront of him."Hellooooooooo?Is this where I drop off thesign in sheet?"She asked her emerald eyes sparkled a bit as she pushed her some of her bangs back behind her ear.

"I guess, I was just going to check our P.O. box for others" Jet sais as he saw her cute little face, "But I can take yours now and save you the trouble"

"Sweet thanks handsome!"She grinned standing there she handed it to him as a pherret suddenly jumped onto Jet and ran up to his shoulder."Ah Nighty bad girl!"

"This thing is yours?" Jet asked, "Its kinda cute, it takes after it's owner"

"She is not a thing!Her name is Nighty."She said as her lip pukered out a bit making her look adorable."I'm here to find a man who is worthy of my wild side."She said sticking her tongue at him then took Night into her arms and headed off. her braided brown hair swayed with her body movement as he could see some of her bottom butt cheeks from her brown short pants.

Jet stared at her ass as she walked away before realizing he had morals. He then walked to the post office to pick up forms from nine other contestants including Killa and Deja. "that makes fourteen assuming Seigfreed comes, that should be enough." Jet said walked back to the alley where Pyro and Julie were.

Seigfreed stood on the building reading the flier.".........."He looked a the sign in part."I know this is a trick I just know it."He growled but teared off the sign in part and pulled out a pencil from his pocket."but if it's the only to get the Purele..."He whispered filling in the blanks.When he was done he flew of and landed infront of the arena placing it in the Post office before heading off down the road.

Julie stood there now that Killa ruined their momment she forgot what she was going to say so she walked down the road by herself forgetting she was not to walk alone without Pyro.She stopped seeing Seigfreed."..."

Seigfreed looke behind him seeing her."Purele..."He whispered turning fully and walked over to her.She could see the bruises on his face.

"You'r hurt.."Julie said and placed her hand on his face healing them making them go away."There.."She smiled at him.

"Purele do not be a fool staying with him will be the death of you."He said starring into her eyes.

"That I cannot do mister Seigfreed me staying with him will save this world and others."She said starrign back into his.

"What do you mean by that?"He asked.

Jet walked in on Seigfreed and Julie, he silently pulled out his bow and knocked and arrow. He walked behind Seigfreed stealthily and placed the arrowhead inches away from his neck. "Julie, run! I don't want this arrow to go through him and into you"

"Jet no!"Julie said standing there.She looekd back at him."You will understnad what i mean mister Seigfreed."She said and bowed to him a bit.And walked off back to Pyro where ever he was.

Seigfreed watched her leave and turned at him."Boy put your stupid bow down."He growled and walked off the other way.

Jet's face suddenly turned to a look of anger, "Never, ever, insult this bow! It has saved my more times then you could ever imagine!" He the fired an arrow, it nicked Seigfreed's ear. "I didn't miss"

Seigfreed covered his ear feeling blood go down it."........."He looked back at him glaring at him.But he just kept walking off to an inn.

Jet wandered through the town. Meanwhile Pyro saw Julie walking toward him. He hugged her, "You look a little tired, maybe you should get some sleep"

Julie smiled."Yeah I really should."She said standing there.

Pyro escorted her to a nearby hotel. He ringed the bell for the guy to come over. A kinda short man dressed in a suit came over and said, "Yes how may I help you?"

"What do you think, we need two rooms" Pyro said. The man behind the counter looked at his computer and sighed.

"We only have one room available. Will that be okay?" the man said. Pyro turned to Julie for an answer.

"I'm okay with that."Julie smiled.When Pyro turned he saw Siegfreed head upstairs with his keys to his room.He knew it was him by the glimps of his white wings with a hint of blue here and there.

The man behind the counter handed Pyro a key. Pyro handed the man some money. "Come on Julie" Pyro said as he started walking toward the stairs.

When Julie got to the room their was one big bed with big pillows. a small kitchen and big bathroom."oooo."She said walking over and sat on the bed."so this is a bed?"She asked him.

"I sometimes forget how little you have experienced" Pyro said sitting next to her. "So there is only one bed. I guess we are sleeping together".

"What about Jet?"She asked sitting there looking at him.

"Jet is a wanderer, I bet he will wake us up tomorrow by throwing a rock or something at the window" Pyro explained, "i've met people like him, people that love sleeping in the outdoors."

"Oh alright."She smiled at him sitting there.

Pyro walked into the bathroom. Moments later he came out only wearing his pants and his necklace. The scars over his fit torso showed clearly now. He laid down on the bed.

Julie looked at his scars."How did you get them?"She asked.

"My brother......." Pyro said. "Thats how maniacal my brother was. Yet I don't know why i always trusted him." Pyro starred at the ceiling for a second, "I got these during the promotion battles. When two people were qualified for promotion at the same time and for the same rank, they fought for it. My brother always won against me, and for the most part I won most of the battles against Seigfreed"

"Do you really hate Seigfreed?"She asked him hugging her knees now watching him.

Pyro thought deeply about that, "I don't hate him. He is just my rival in everything I have ever done in my life" he explained, "My and him are probably more alike then i wish"

"You're so kind."She smiled at him."Thought people look at you as though you are mean and evil but deep down your sweet and kind hearted."She said seeing him blush.

"Why thank you" Pyro said, "But your the nicest person I have ever met. I mean i have never seen you be mean to anyone"

"Being mean to someone never solves problems nor can it help you find your way in life."She said to him.

Pyro thought for a minute. "I've never thought of it like that. I mean I don't be mean on purpose when I am it just kinda comes out. But, I don't know. I mean I guess I've just had such a violent life i've gotten used to it" he said.

"Letting that anger go can ease your body and stress.letting go my anger helps me calm my powers down."she said sitting there.

"I still don't understand your powers. Not even my father was able to make light solid like that." Pyro said. He looked down at his hands, "I killed my father with my own hands. Just because I am used to being violent, and was going to kill my brother. I could have easily told my father to run or something. Why, why must i be like this?! I wish i could be like you. Kind, caring, and gentle"

"I don't how I do it either it just happens."Julie said looking at the wall infront of her.

Pyro walked behind her and hugged her, "You will remember everything shortly. I'm sure of it"

Julie smiled."thankyou Pyro."She said sitting there.

There was a sudden explosion outside. "What the hell?!" Pyro yelled as he slipped his shirt back on and put on his boots, not even caring about any of his weapons. He flew out the window.

Julie got out of the bed and went to the window to see what it was."...."

Dansum was going around town in the form of a giant fire-breathing dragon. His breaths of fire are what Pyro heard. "I thought all dragons were dead!" Pyro said.

Rinka ran up to the scene."Hey you big red puff ball how about you pick on someone your own size!?"She yelled as Nighty hid in her backpack.

Pyro held his hand out in front of him. Kageho appeared in his right hand. Dansum went and breathed fire upon the two of them. Pyro absorbed the fire that hit him.

Rinka jumped up and did two front flips in the air balling her fist up."Haaa!"She yelled and punched Dansum's front leg nearly breaking his leg.She used her feet and jumped back from his leg and over to Pyro.

Dansum shape-shifted into a two-legged dragon, that uses its wings as front arms. He them kept blasting fire everywhere. Pyro was able to block most of the fire with his blade. He then charged at Dansum. But Dansum quickly dodged.

Rinka ran up behind Dansum and ran up his tail to his back."Stupiod dragon and it's stupid shape shifting."She growled reaching Dansum's weak point the nerves.She pulled back and punched his back really hard hard enough to make him change back to his human form.

Dansum changed back into an extremely muscular man. But with fangs and claws. Pyro walked over to Rinka and said, "I hope you didn't kill him. He entered a tournament I'm running"

"Nah just knocked him out."She giggled."He needs some manners."She grunted and lifted him up with one hand and placed him over his shoulders."You want him?"

"Um if you don't mind, just throw him behind the bar." Pyro said turning around and flying back into the hotel window.

"The bar?"Rinka asked confused but shrugged heading off with her shapeshift friend.

"I'm sorry about the Julie" Pyro said, "And maybe I should start working on not being as violent"

Julie smiled at him sitting there.

Pyro sat down next to her. He put his hands on her cheeks and he kissed her goodnight. He was tired. He clapped and turned off the lights (clap on, clap off. the clapper!). He instantly fell asleep.

Julie watched him fall alseep."..."She smiled before laying down to fall asleep aswell.

The Tournament

The next few days passed kinda the same way. People registering, people interrupting, explosions, and Julie and Pyro falling asleep in the same hotel. It was the day before the tournament. Pyro was wearing his usual outfit but had chain-mail underneath it. "Are you ready for tomorrow Julie?"

"Yes."Julie said standing there as Rinka was standing with them as if stalking Jet.

"I promise nothing will happen to you" Pyro said.

"Everything will go according to plan" Jet said now just realizing Rinka wasn't in on the plan.

"You guys confuse me."Rinka said standing there."Why do a tournament if you're not going to give up the prize?"she asked as Nighty poked her head out looking at everyone."I mean I'm not here to take her anyways."She grinend crossing her arms.

"Julie should we let her in on the plan?" Jet asked.

"I geuss she's been around alot lately."Julie said standing there.

"Fine I'll tell her" Pyro said turning to Rinka, "The whole tournament is a trap for an angel named Seigfreed. He hates me and will always want to defeat me in battle. Seigfreed is hunting Julie for some reason just like the demons, but none of us know why. So that is why Julie is the prize. Every round Seigfreed is in, I will bribe the other guy to take a fall. Seigfreed and hopefully Jet, Me, and now You will be in the final round with him"

"what you want him on you guy's side or something?"She asked standing there.

"Yes."Julie said.

"Seigfreed knows why the Angels and Demons want Julie. So we are hoping he will join us and tell us" Pyro said.

"Ah...well good luck with that one."Rinka said her hands behind her back as she stretched a bit.

All of a sudden Pyro's eyes started glowing black. He screamed at the top of his lungs, and everyone turned toward him. He grabbed his head, still screaming. He flapped his wings and flew on top of the roof of a nearby building. "Get out of my head!" He screamed.

"Pyro!" Jet yelled as he ran to the door of the building. Inside Jet ran up the stairs to the roof. At the top he saw Pyro clutching his head.

"Stay back!" Pyro yelled as he was standing on the edge of the building. Suddenly his eyes stopped glowing black. The light turned white. Half of his hair turned blondish-white colored. He then collapsed and fell off the roof of the building falling a good 45 feet.

Pyro awoke in a land filled with clouds. Only these clouds were black. There were two figures in the distance that seemed strangely familiar. He tried flying toward them only to realize that flying would not work. He fell to his face, feeling pain "well at least i know i'm not dead". He got up and walked toward the figures.

"Pyro, its so good to see you again" said one of the figures. The Voice seemed so familiar, yet he knew it was impossible for it to be who he thought it was. Pyro continued walking forward. Standing before him were two people who have died yet were very close to him.

"Mother? Father? Is that you? How is this possible?" Pyro asked to his parents.

Pyro's mother Gaia gave a hug to his son. "I thought i would never see you again my fire"

Pyro nearly started crying when his mother hugged him. He looked over her shoulder to see his father. Pyro started crying. He left his mothers arms and ran to his father. He stood in front of him and got on one knee. "Father please forgive me. You must know that my intentions were not to kill you! I was set up by my ass of a brother"

The bearded angel looked down upon Pyro with ice blue eyes. "What kind of angel would i be if i would not forgive my own son?" He put a hand on Pyro's shoulder, "You bow to no one. You have a task my fire. You must kill your brother. In your current state there is no way you can win. We must train you to embrace your full potential"

Pyro looked up at Kryo. "Father, what are you talking about?" Pyro asked as he stood up.

"You have been having visions of the events that lead to your banishment, correct?" Kryo asked. Pyro nodded. "You remember the one where you saved your brother from The Beast? Do you remember becoming a full demon, an angel, and an angel-demon hybrid?"

"Yes, but i thought that was just a reaction to breaking the Blade of Lucifer"

"It was, but if you stay here, and let me train you. I can teach you to embrace these forms" Kryo said.

He suddenly heard the most beautiful voice he ever heard when he looked to find who was singing he saw Julie standing not far from them singing an song that he never heard before.But his parents knew this song it was the song of the two lovers the demon and the angel.

Thay LaGri had been watching the group of beings from a safe distance. She knew what she had to do, but Thay never was good at interaction with people. Her long, black hair whipped in the wind and her ice blue eyes flashed. She knew what she was told about the importance of the Purele, the importance of her personal mission. As she watches, one of the party starts to fall and she reacts. She ran, her reflexes better than most demons. The others in this group were alot more valuable than she and it was her job to make sure that they succeeded in protecting the precious Purele. She took an inflatable landing pod from her bag, pulling the tab and tossing it directly under the falling figure as it inflated into the size of a medium sized lake.

Pyro's ears twitched as he thought he heard something. He turned to face Thay, but couldn't see anything and figure it was nothing. He turned around again to face his family and listening in amazement to the song Julie was singing.

Thay stands watching, not quiet sure what she should do. She looks like she wants to speak, then seems to think better of it. She closes her eyes and feels something isn't right. She bites her lip and rumages through her bag, speaking softly to herself. "No... No... Uh... No... Need to find the Angel Heather... Where is... the Angel Heather..." She pulls out a small vile with a powery substance inside. She pours the lot into her hand. She sighs and blows the power directly into the man's face. "Let deception and falsehood be lifted by the herb heavenly gifted..."

Pyro's ears twitched again. He knew he could hear something in the distance, yet he couldn't tell what it was. His instincts told him to investigate
the strange noise, yet he knew he should stay.

Thay stares at the face in front of her and bites her lip. "Come on... Come back! You have to protect the Purele! Wake up!" She raises her eyes to the heavens, at a loss. She wasn't really prepared to deal with having to come in contact with someone so early. "Ugh... how have you kept her for so long!"
Her frustration grows as she starts rumaging her bag for something else. "Smelling salts... I can't find anything in this blasted bag!"

Now Pyro was just getting annoyed. But as he looked at his Mother and Father he could tell that they heard it too. "Son, go. We will continue when you get back" said Kryo.

with that Pyro nodded and spread out his wings. With a quick flap of his mighty wings we took to the sky to get a better view of the area.

As Pyro was in his state of deep sleep he was resting in the hotel.Julie watched him lay there not waking up."......."

"Man strange things happen more and more...."Rinka said standing there.

Pyro, glanced over and saw the girl who had been watching the group. He stealthily landed behind her, while at the same time activating the hidden blade on the bracer on his right forearm. He came up behind her and put his arm around her with the blade inches from her neck.

"Tell me why you're watching us and I may not kill you!" Pyro demanded

Pyro's ears and eyes started twitching back in the real world.

Julie watched him hoping he was going be okay but she paused and grabbed her chest in pain.Something was calling to her, something dark and evil.

"Hey you okay?"Rinka asked worried.

Down in the depths of hell in the prisons that were kept guarded at cost.In one of the cells in the way had a knight chained within in it.A dark pulse surged out of him.The demon guards felt it and watched him and freaked seeing him move his head.The chains craked and the bars shattered as the pulse was so strong it knocked the guards back.

"Ahh!!He's awake!!"The guards yelled running for it.

The knight walked out from the cell and summoned his sword and headed off feeling the power of the Purele calling him as he called her.

Julie couldn't breath as she stood there then she gasped as she fell to her knees.Rinka went to her helping her up.

"Julie!?"She yelled.

Jet burst into the room, "I knew this would come in handy" he said as he pulled a knife, that was radiating a blueish light, from Julie's bag. "What happened?" he asked, noticing Pyro on the bed, "and what happened to him?"

"You were there idoit!He went crazy on us now Julie is too!"Rinka snapped as Julie laid in her arms calming down.

"He's coming.."She whispered."He will come as black as darkness itself...."She said as Rinka listened to her confused.

"The demon called Demiashii..."Julie said as she stopped singing.Pyro heard her as he had Thay.Suddenly the clouds began to grow dark underneath his feet.

Hearing what Julie had said before Thay had anytime to respond, he sheathed the blade and looked down, seeing the clouds. "Whoever you arm, go!" He yelled while kicking her down a ledge away from the clouds. Pyro felt all of his wings suddenly feel weak and he could barely move them. His entire body started aching as if all the energy in his body was being sucked out of him. He collapsed

"Oh yeah," he said while hiccuping. "I remember now, I guess maybe t-the beer has gotten to me."

In the real world, Pyro stopped breathing. And his heartbeat was very slow, but each thump of his heart shook the bed do to the intensity of each beat.

Rinka held onto Julie as she felt the room shake."Jet wake him up!"She yelled.

As Pyro was unable to move he saw a black mist form into a figure then the knight appeared walking toward them.

Julie stood there as Pyro's parents were scared by this man.

The knight stopped next to Pyro.He looked at him seeing the cursed sword and growled kicking it out of his hand."Pethitic creature...."He said and went over to Julie and gently grabbed her chin."Julie..."

Julie looked at him as she stood there but then looked at Pyro.

The knight growled."You, in love with that man that who weilds the blade that killed you so many years ago?!.....Ah it seems your forgotten who I fully am....You don't even barely know who you are..."He said pulling his hand away.

Pyro, to weak to recall his sword back to his hand, yelled at the knight, "Stay away from her!", and with the last ounce of his strength formed a small ball of shadow-fire and threw it at the knight, and before he passed out he managed to say, "Julie, I-I l-l-ove you".

The knight turned the attack didn't even hurt him he walked toward him but Julie got infront of him and stopped him."Please! Don't hurt him!"She begged.The knight stopped and chuckled.

"Soon my love you will remember everything..."He told her as he disappeared.

"Pyro.....wake up....Pyro...Pyro!"A voice called out to him as he finally woke up from his dream.

Rinak smiled."He's up!"She told Jet as Julie laid in bed next to him.

Pyro woke up yelled: "Julie!" He turned to see Rinka and a drunk Jet. "somethings wrong", he turned and looked at Julie who was still out. "When did this happen?"

"A few seconds ago.She wasn't breathing and she started talking about a guy coming in total darkness.."Rinka said as Nighty sat on her head.

"Guy coming from total darkness, that must be the knight in my dream," said Pyro. "If it even was a dream, why did you have to wake me up!? I
need to save her!"

Julie opened her eyes laying there.She sat up rubbing her head in pain.

Pyro looked at Julie for a moment. He then gave her a tight hug, "I didn't think I would see you again"

"I'm so scared....I don't know...if I want to remember anymore.."She said sitting there shaking.

Still embracing her, he said to her, "Julie, it's okay. We'll do whatever you want. But I have two questions. Who was that knight, and what happened after I woke up"

"I don't know...I don't remember him...He was going to attack you but I stopped him and he left..."She told him.

"Well he seemed to know you, rather well I might add." Pyro said.

The drunk Jet started to get annoyed that all the focus was on Pyro and Julie. He then stared at Rinka, and gave her a random hug.


Rinka blushed and pushed him off."ewwww!"

Thay opened her eyes and lifted her head, annoyed and shaken a little. "I don't want to do this... Damn this mission..." She mutters softly, starting to track the Purele. She felt tired and sore, yet she kept moving, hoping that Pyro would allow her to explain herself when she met him face to face.
