Gold cast a slow healing spell on Rikki.

"You should be healed after a few hours... Maybe sooner if you stay still and just lay in bed..."

He had ignored her glare and anger. It was just her being herself. He climbed the windowsil, but sat there, overhearing Raike and Alex argue, and then pull swords from sheaths. Gold hopped down and landed by Raike, pulling out his longsword, Jade. He turned his head and nodded to Raike.

"I'm on your side for this..."

He then faced Alex.

"It is his decision, I will not allow you to go against it..."

The longsword seemed to sharpen itself, and it was glowing a minty-green color. Jade echoed in his voice.

"Yes Gold, fight for what you know is right, and you cannot lose. Atop of that, it's two-to-one. The odds are highly in your favor..."

Gold smirked, and took his unknown stance, longsword at the ready.

~~~~~

Silver cowered in fear. Somehow, he had survived his first ten fights. Now they prepared him for eleven, giving no notice to the many wounds that cover him. He whimpered, and Bill angrily slammed his head onto the ground, then dragged him by his scruff and threw him in the ring. Everything hurt, especially the cuts and openings left by metallic claws in fights. He faced a terrifying opponent. He had black fur, but brown underfur and the fur around his eyes matched. He was huge, massive, powerful, and pissed. Silver felt himself gulp. The bell rang, and the giant dog lunged.
 
Angel shifted to her normal form. It was a bit painful, but she waited until the pain was gone. She got dressed in black leather pants and jacket, her signature black leather high heeled boots and a black leather choker. She cleaned her sword and smiled as she saw her reflection. Her father's face appeared on the blade. "Angel, are you sure your ready to fight?", her father asked in his deep voice. "Yes, papa, I am ready. I will fight and not hold back, have no mercy, and regret nothing I do in this fight.", she replied, her lovely voice strong. "You know, if your mother was here, she would have both our heads for this, right?" he said. "Then it's a good thing she's not here. Tell her I miss her.", she said. Her father smiled. The he dissappeared. She grew her wings and flew out the window. She found the two dualing angels with ease. She landed on the other side of Raike. She was in her swordstance. Once she got into a sword fight, she let go of everything except her goal. "Raike can make his own decsions, Alexander. You can't force him to go with you if he doesn't want to.", She said. *Yell at me later Gold. I do not want to hear it right now. Fight now, yell later, ok?*, She thought.
 
Gold looked, wide-eyed, as Angel landed, obviously wanting to fight too.

"Oh great, we're starting something now, aren't we...?" Jade spoke in Gold's mind. He grumbled and sheathed his longsword, and went over to Angel.

"No, I won't allow you to fight in your condition, Angel. You'll only get hurt even more."

He hugged her from behind, laying his head on her shoulder as he embraced her, then sighed and walked her off to the side.

"Please don't make me worry about you more, but if you can walk, you can help us find Silver afterward..."

He smiled and brushed her hair to the side, and kissed her forehead.

"It's okay, we are already fighting two-to-one. Honestly, Raike fights a bit like Silver, very fast, which matches my style. Of course, Silver doesn't really have an attitude problem like Raike, but that's beside the point."

He joked lightly and returned to the fight, returned to his longsword stance of mystery, Jade was ready, and the longsword glowed once more.

"Are we doing this, or aren't we?" Jade asked impatiently.

Maybe, it depends. We're waiting to see Alex's reaction... Gold replied to her.
 
Angel was not very happy about not fighting. One of the cuts on her side started bleeding again, because she had shape-shifted so fast. She hissed and covered her side. She healed herself, yet again. *There's no way I can win this, is there? (sighs) I can't go after Silver, Gold. Bill said that it would end badly for BOTH of us. Meaning he would kill me AND Silver. I've fought in worse shape than this, Gold. Many, many times....Your sister is your sword, isn't she? That's why it's green. Ummmmm....Jade was her name. I would love to meet her someday. She sounds very nice*, Angel thought. She quickly walked up behind Gold and kissed his neck. She whispered, "Be careful Foxy-boy", before returning to her spot. She was bored. So she climbed up a tree that was behind the fight,which would keep Gold happy, but also close enough that she could see, which made her happy. So she simply plucked a leaf from the tree and started playing a song (the one in Pokemon: Rise of Darkrai). She watched, her heart in her throat, as Gold stood there, waiting for Alex to make a move.
 
Rikki had picked up on Angel's mental pattern as well, and Gold's along with that. Angel seemed to not be included in the fight, while Gold was joining Raike. She heaved a sigh of relief. She knew Raike could handle himself, but she didn't want to risk losing anyone else.

She herself was unable to lend a hand in her current state, but she knew she could still monitor the battle. She closed her eyes. If she kept her eyes closed while she read in on someone's mind, then she could see what they see as well. She had trained her abililites to be able to do this, and it came in handy quite well.

You better be okay when this is over Raike. She sent to him.

Then she sent a message to Gold. I'm trusting you to make sure both of you are okay.

Then she focused on Angel. I feel useless. Alex's attack would have killed me had Raike not shown up.
 
"Tch, I don't need you guy's help. nor did I ask for it. I'm fighting, alone, and you need to get to your brother, so you don't have time for this. You probably won't forgive me for this, but thats a risk I'm going to have to take."

-After saying this Raike grabbed the hands of the two beside him, and through them towards the window he had hopped out of, preparing to use his power once more. Instead of going through that window, and into Rikki's room, they would appear in front of the building where Silver was being held. Raike had been there several times, crashing the party, and setting the captured ones free. He had always been a strong animal rights kind of person, and so things like that infuriated him. Turning his mind back to the situation at hand, Raike pulled out his own blade from its place on his back, until it was at it's full length of 5 feet, the black blade only visible because of the hospital lights. He recieved the message from Rikki, but kept his straight face, he wasn't going to make any promises. He rushed forward at a blinding speed, carrying the sword with one hand, then feinted to the left, bringing up his sword in an upward ark with one hand, aiming for Alex's chest. He wasn't sure when or how he had learned to do that, and had yet to find that his sword was moving partly by itself, screaming though the air.-
 
Julie flew back into their room to find it empty.Something in the pit of her stomach told her everyone but her was fighting.She grabbed her bag and ran back to the window and as she jumped out she grew her wings and kept flying.She scanned the whole city for Silver but couldn't find him.She landed on a skyscraper's roof and went to the sign and leaned against it.She began to cry.She was scared.She knew Silver needed help and she couldn't find him.She longed for direction to find him.She felt her whole body go cold and she felt ice coming from her hands.She felt tears rolling down her face.Saddness was overwhelming her.She got on her knees and prayed.

"Lord please please please help me find Silver.Lord please let him be okay lord.Please Lord.In Jesus's name I pray,Amen!"She said outloud through crying.

She felt weak,like she could pass out any second.Riley landed on the roof.Julie hadn't noticed Riley hadn't been there.

"Julie its going to be okay,he's going to be okay,I'm sure!"Riley said on her knees infront of Julie holding her hands.

Julie jerked away.

"You don't know that Riley!You don't know if we'll ever find him,or if we find him if he'll even by alive!"Julie yelled at her.

Julie put her hands over her eyes as she looked downwards and cried.

(Am I the only one who noticed that Julie is the only one who can't talk through minds and that everyone didn't sign up for that power yet they can?If they can then I should be allowed to too.*crosses arms*)
 
(Actually, I never once read or talked to someone through their minds. I told everyone, I don't have that power. But that doesn't mean they can't read my minds...)

Alex faced Raike. He waited for the first move, until Gold appeared. He nodded at Raike, and then faced Alex as well.

"Two on one? Not very fair." For you, he thought in his mind. He then saw Angel jump in as well. "Three on one? Very well, if you all insist on getting in my way, I will not hold back."

Raike then did something unexpected. He seemed to send the other two through some kind of dimension bending ability, and they were gone. Raike charged for Alex, alone. Alex prepared for Raike's first attack. His blade moved completely in front of Alex's body and block the first impact. Alex pushed off of Raike and swung his sword through the air. A wave of energy surged through the air and cut at Raike. The blade's attack seemed to be hissing through the air, as if the air itself felt pain from the devastation. The surrounding area was instantly wiped clean of building, either crushing them in the force of the blade, or evaporating the very concrete from the energy. Alex slung Adamanta over his shoulder and wondered if Raike managed to survive the attack.
 
((Minds? lol you have two brainsss!!!!))
"Jeebus..."

-Thought Raike as the wave came bounding towards him. At the last second he had been able to get behind Alex's blade, thus avoiding his attack, but still coming away with a medium sized cut on his cheek. A few meters Raike stood, watching Alex, he seemed to be acting as if he had already won. Raike shook his head and charged once more, this time, from behind. When he was close enough, he decided to use his speed to his advantage, unleashing a flurry of blows composed of sword slashes and kicks. His arm was barely visible at all, just the white of where his shoulder part of the jacket. He also seemed to be kicking up dust and tiny pebbles, making it hard for either of the two to see. Finally, he ended his combination with a diagonal upward slash. The blade howled as he swung, and left behind a black wave afterimage.-

Alex saw Raike coming in with a series of fast hits. The attacks were lightning fast, so Alex was not able to dodge them. Instead, he placed his giant sword in front of his body, covering himself quite well from the barrage of attacks. The giant eye on the sword was now observing Raike as he battle. Raike probably couldn't tell, but Adamanta's giant eye has a very interesting ability in battle, if it proceeds long enough.

Alex then saw the upcoming slash from his sword. He seemed to have a similar energy attached his sword as well, although much weaker. Adamanta was, in fact, one of a kind. Alex blocked with his giant sword on the upcoming attack, and flung his sword forward again, this time, gathering much more power than before. Adamanta's dark energy hissed through the air. The blade beam swung through the air and blasted forward. Alex wasn't convinced, and struck again. The same powerful blast burst through the air at Raike. Even speed couldn't prevent him from getting hit by at least part of the intense wave, which length spread through much of the air.
 
Gold was startled as they were tossed into a portal to the building. He looked around and saw Angel with him. His eyes widened as he looked around. He suddenly noticed a huge caged-off area, where the dogs fought. Silver was losing a battle with a massive dog, because he refused to fight it. The two men were screaming horrible things at Silver, as he simply took the blows being dealt to him. He didn't seem like a white wolf anymore, more like a red one. His fur was literally coated in blood, both fresh and dried. He was about to die, only a few more blows...

"STOP!!!"

Gold cried out at the room, his sword, Jade, instantly unsheathed and tearing a hole into the caged walls. The large dog clawed Silver once more before whining and retreating out of the hole in the cage. Silver lies in a pool of his own blood hardly breathing. Gold turned and looked as everyone had left the room, except for two;

Bill and Mack.
 
"Why don't you try to send them a message?"Riley asked.

Julie looked up.

"Right..."Julie said.

Julie calmed herself and focused on finding Gold.Gold would be closer (she assumed) and easier to talk to,and he could talk to Silver.

"Gold,where is Silver?Whats going on?Where are you guys?"She asked hoping Gold could here her.She slumped down on the building.She felt the ice coldness so she produced heat with fire (just enough to warm it up) and continued laying there,waiting for Gold to reply.

"Did he get it?"Riley asked.

"I don't know yet."Julie replied."I've never tried to do this before."
 
-Raike watched as the two waves came towards him. There was nothing really that he could do, he didn't have powers like that, he wasn't an angel. Acceptance began to roll in, when it hit him that he was probably going to die. He lowered his sword arm, and released his grip on the sword, but it didn't drop. He looked down at the sword, which seemed to be controlling Raike's hand. "...The hell?" He thought, but then he brought the sword up, or rather it brought itself up as if to block the blow. Raike watched in disbelief as both attack were absorbed into the weapon, and then fired back at Alex.-

((Before this gets messy, I shall say that a blast of any higher rate would have not been able to be absorbed by the sword, and would've hit Raike. I should also say that it is able to deflect some energy attacks as well, thats all.))
 
((OOC: soz for majorly late reply but I had to attend a funeral, and as such have not been on in past days, will try to be more active though, as it seems here alot can happen in a short ammount of time))

The girl had asked Josh to stay with them, she had proposed that the him and her group share rooms so that he would have somewhere to stay and they would have more room, and, well it was either stay on the street or share a room with total strangers so he supposed it was the lesser of two evils. There was another girl in the room who approached him, she asked what his name was so he told her, she then proceeded with her own name "Angel" "What a pretty name." Josh thought to himself.

After that Josh went to his room to go to bed, he flung himself onto his reasonably soft matress and felt himslef slowly drift off. As he slept he began to hear voices, people talking to each other about random things and saying names he didn't recognise like Silver, Raike and Alex however he did recognise one name, the name of the girl who had approached him in the room, Angel.

Josh awoke in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, tears dripping down his face that he knew had no reason to be there. He decided he would go into the nextdoor room and see what was happening, hopefully he would find some sort of comfort there, however upon arriving Josh found the room empty and as if that wasn't bad enough, one of the bedsheets was drenched in blood. Fear rushed into Joshs mind as the worst case-senarios rushed into his head, murder, abandonement, his own insanity! No, he had to be logical about this, so they were gone and there was blood somebody had obviously been injured, and where did people go when they were injured? Of course! The hospital! He had seen one on his walk to the hotel, so that must have been where they were.

Josh ran to the hospital as fast as he could, faster than he knew he could, he tripped and cut his hand, but he got up and kept running. Finnaly the hospital was in sight, but he stopped at the door to the sound of music followed shortly by the ringing of clashing metal and "the flapping of wings?"
Alas his curiosity got the better of him and he sought the sound out, however what he found would change his life forever.
He saw two of the people from the room before, recognised them as the girl known as angel, and the boy who had payed him no interest while listening to his I-pod. he saw two others who he didnt recognise, both male and in there teens maybe? that wasn't important in fact it took Josh a few seconds before he noticed who they were at all he was slightly preoccupied by the fact that they had wings! Yes, all of them except the boy who listened to his I-pod had wings of varying colors protruding from their backs! But the surprises kept on coming, the boy with the I-pod suddenly flung
Angel and one of the others who he didn't recognise through the air and into a sort of wormhole with lightning fast speed unlike any he had ever seen! Just like that four people turned to two as Angel and the other individual went into the wormwhole-like thing and dissapeared! And then out of nowhere the remaining two started furiously fighting each other, send waves of energy shooting back and forth between their two swords. What the hell was happening? This wasn't happening? This couldn't happen? God **** it what, how, why, all these questions raged through Joshs head as he stood there frozen in shock hoping neither of them would notice his presence.

Alex's eyes opened in shock for a sec as the attack was propelled back at him. Alex had to place the sword in front of his body to stop the impacts. The two attacks fed onto the blade and bounced Alex back a few feet, but he was generally fine. The giant eye on the sword changed from a reddish color to a more black one.

"So I see you have an interesting blade as well. Nice ability. Let's see if you like mine." With that, the eye on the sword shined, and and an energy surrounded Alex.

"Joint us, Alex." A voice hissed through the air. The blade and Alex soon was joined at the palm and the wrist. Alex's eyes grew a darker color as he felt energy flow through him. Before, he was on the offense, but now that he had quick reflexes matching that of Adamanta, he could keep up with Raike's speed in the fight. Alex charged forward, the two clashing multiple times, but every time Alex's blade Adamanta made contact with Raike's, a powerful amount of energy was released from it, the blade too powerful to contain all of the extra energy within it's structure. So every time they clashed, the blade released extra energy of high temperature and power, causing possible extra damage to Raike.
 
(Yeah, tell me about it)

Angel had to leave. She knew she would be of no help in this battle. *Be careful Gold.*, she thought. She flew off, winging her way back to the city, which she had come to refer to as the City of Angels. She saw Raike and Alex battling, and then the boy who's name she didn't know. He seemed dangerously close to the battle. Angel set her wings and dove towards the boy. She grabbed him and held him close to her, pulling up from her suicide dive and flew back to the hotel. Her wings were growing tired, very rapidly at that. She flew into their room, unfortunatly she clipped her right wing again on the window, which sent her crashing onto the bed soaked with blood. Her blood. She got up, wincing and hissing softly in pain. She still held the boy in her arms. She slowly walked to a clean bed, and set him on it. The blood on her bed was still wet, so she was now, once again, covered in her own blood. "Ugh. This is soooo not my day. I had enough blood on me the first time, I do not need to be soaked in my own blood twice in one day.", she said. she was speaking to herself, but she was a bit louder because she was in pain. She looked at the boy, her lilac eyes showed concern. "You didn't get hurt, did you?", She asked, her voice soft and warm. She grabbed a few cans of Cherry Coke and set one down next to the boy. She opened one and took a drink. She had to sit on the floor, because of her blood-soaked bed. She placed her left palm on her right wing and healed it. "Much better", she said. She pulled out her itallian poems book while she waited for the boy to answer. No doubt he'd be full of questions.
 
Gold sighed as Angel left. He wanted help, but it was true, she was still too hurt. Mack walked up to Gold, but did not see the furiously pissed face on him.

Nobody does this to my brother...

Gold grabbed Mack by the shirt and lifted him up.

"Hey!! What's the big idea, comin' in here, and settin' free all of our fun--"

He was silenced with a longsword through the stomach. Gold angrily twisted the blade while it pierced through Mack. Pain surged through the human and he dropped to the ground, dying slowly and painfully.

"You're next..." Gold snarled and pointed at Bill. Bill laughed and let out his wings. They were pitch-black but looked glossy, and the feathers were sharp as razors. He had black hair, all black clothes, and black sunglasses. He removed the glasses, stepping on them and crushing them as he approached gold. From his back he pulled a sword, with two blades, one on each end. He laughed.

"You will pay for your hostility in the Light Kingdom, boy." Bill glared as he spoke.

Gold made no hesitation and flew at him. Swords clashed, each one seeming to cause a small explosion. The building shook, pieces falling, the whole building was falling apart, but they continued to clash, blocking each other constantly.
 
Angel was a shadow in Gold's mind. She wasn't really going to leave him on his own. She also saw what he saw, and what he saw scared her. *Black Wings?! I thought he was a light angel!! How can he have black wings??....Oh god!.....*, She thought. She was shaking horribly. It was like a horror film. It was so terrible she wanted to look away, but so mesmerizing that she couldn't look away, no matter how much she wanted too. She had never seen Gold kill. It was horrible. The complete hatred and malice that he felt was unlike anything she'd ever felt before. She didn't know this person. This was not her Gold, the Gold she knew. In her mind she knew he was the same, but her heart was rebeling. In her heart, this was a complete stranger she was seeing. She shook her head, clearing her thoughts. Gold didn't need her to distract him. He needed total and complete focus. Which meant she had to pull out of his mind and be in the dark until he contacted her mentally. She took a deep breath. *Send me a thought after the deed has been done. I will leave you now with this simple thought. I love you, more than my own life*, She thought. With that, she left his mind. The things he saw, she no longer saw. She didn't feel his emotions anymore. She instead concentrated on her current charge, the boy. She got up and went to the bathroom to change. She came out in black jean capri pants and a black shirt. She was wearing a leather choker with a sapphire pendant and black high heels. She began to sing, for lack of anything better to do. Her lovely voice blended with the sounds of the night, creating a song you wouldn't ever want to miss.
 
(Um, due to Bill being an Archangel, you would not be able to shadow Gold, no powers of any kind work around Bill... The sword still works because it is Jade, who has no physical body to take the powers from)

The swords clashed once more, sending explosions and debris from the destroyed building. Gold dodged a few falling chunks of concrete as the whole building collapsed around them. Seeing this as his strategy, he grinned darkly.

"Ready when you are..." Announced Jade.

The blade was glowing brightly as he flipped up in the air and slashed a concrete block straight into Bill. He tried to sword-block it, but failed, as it hit him and kept him pinned on the ground. He coughed and choked on his own blood as Gold walked up to him, plucking his sharp-feathers one by one, watching his pain.

"By the Almighty, you are no more!!!" Gold shouted as his sword swung down.

Bill's body lie separated from his head. Gold stuffed two of the sharp feathers into his pocket and went over to the bleeding, dying Silver. Their powers were returning. But Silver was dying, and quickly.
 
"Anything?"Riley asked.

"Nata."Julie replied."I guess I'm not good at it."

Julie regrew her wings and jumped off the building.She then began flying around the city.She landed on another skyscraper and closed her eyes.She focused on Gold the best she could,and then sent the message again.

"Gold,whats going on,where are you guys?Is Silver okay?"Julie asked.

Riley flew next to her and carefully landed.

"Did you try again?"Riley asked.

"Yeah."Julie replied her voice shaky.

"Its ganna be okay little sister,you know God wouldn't let anything happen."Riley said.

"For petes sake Riley your dead,God let that happen."Julie said to her.

"Point taken."Riley said sitting down.

Julie sat down next to her and the sisters began to pray that Silver and Gold were okay.
