Angel had decided to go out and fly a bit. She took it easy, gliding most of the way. She heard a scream that sent her heart into over-drive. "AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!" It came from the hospital. She dove towards the landing and concealing her wings at the same time. She saw Josh on all fours, pain radiating from him. Rikki was next to him, leaning on her bad arm. Angel knelt before them both. "Shhhhhhh. Be still, young one.", she said. *Don't pull away from me, alright?*, she thought to him. She put her hands on his shoulders. She sang softly in her mind, her voice calm and caring. She searched his body from the inside out for any signs of injury. She got to his spine and stopped. "Impossible", she murmered. She checked, double-checked and even triple checked. "Well that's ummmm....certianly....unusual", she said.
 
(OOC: When the voice is talking remember only Josh can hear it)

Angel arrived and used her healing powers, it worked for a moment but soon after....."AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!" the pain had come back.

Josh started talking as best he could with the pain. "Its my head, its AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!...its....its..." *Now Boy,Take your chance* "Wh..What AAAGH who said that what are you talking?" *Forget about me already boy? Im hurt hehehe...* Josh finnaly realised what it was, the voice inside his head that had brought him this far. "What do you want, why are you doing this?" *Im doing this just in case you try to go "against" your final task...* "Wh..Whats my final task, and why do you only talk to me now why not just give me another urge?..." *Because you would resist this urge in a heartbeat, in your left pocket is the dagger, Demonica it has the power to kill angels...Now I want you to kill the two with you...Rikkilyn and Angel.*
"What? NO! I wont! *Well, I'm afraid Josh you don't have a choice, you haven't been brought here by destiny or whatever you thought, there was no other man who who killed your father. Don't you see Josh, Im not just some voice inside your head, Im a demon who wants to destroy all angels Josh, and you are the human I have decided to possess, you have been a pawn all along, you are about to betray the angels and, you killed your father! and now your're going to kill the girl angels.* "NO.....I WON'T!" *Dont you remember Josh you dont have a choice...*

Josh felt his arm reach for the dagger that had appeared in his pocket against his own will, It seemed the Demon truly could control him, Rikki and Angel were still beside him, his hand clamped around the dagger.

"Rikki, Angel....." He said. "Run...."

Then he sliced towards them with the evil dagger, Demonica.

Rikki caught the kid's arm right before she could get hit. She looked confused for a moment, but regained her composure. She tightened her grip on his wrist.

"I don't run kid." she said and closed her eyes. She decided to mind search him, figure out what was causing whatever was going on. She first had to read his mind, which was rather easy. Now, she could hear that strange voice, she figured it must be talking to him. She was genuinely confused though. She'd never met a demon, well she'd heard about them from Trainer, but she had never seen one, or heard one for that matter.

She stood to her feet, pulling him up as well. She kept her eyes closed, and her hand still holding his wrist.

Alright kid, this is an ability of mine. I'm a mind reader, got it? she sent him. Now, you're going to fight back as hard as you can against that....thing. Understood? I'm right here, you aren't going to hurt me at all, I can defend myself just fine if I have to. Angel is here too. Don't worry.

Even though Rikki said she could fight, using her power at all was making her tired. Her heartbeat quickened, and she knew she couldn't hold this up for too long. But she'd do her best.
 
"He...hehe...HeHeHa....HAHAHA....." The Demon was in full control of Josh now.
It looked up, right into Rikkis eyes.His eyes had turned pure red no White or pupil just red. *Funny thing about this child Rikkilyn it can read minds too."

By fueling its own power through Joshs body the Demon easily broke from Rikkis grip and thrust the dagger towards her full speed. But then (just as fast) Josh's other hand reached out and grabbed the arm thrusting the dagger. "No this is my body,not yours!" Josh screamed after regaining some control over his body, one of Joshs eyes had returned to normal.
 
Angel saw Josh struggling with.... A demon?! Angel had had a personal encounter witha demon once...she nearly died. Angel shape-shifted into a horse-sized dragoness. She pinned Josh to the floor, careful not to crush him. Her lilac eyes were concerned. She flared her wings in challange at the demon. She was quick. Her long sharp teeth were bared, a growl escaping.
 
Rikki just stood there for a minute, unsure of what to do. Then she furrowed her brow and clicked her tongue.

"Okay, you're officially beginning to make me mad." as soon as she said this, she began to feel lightheaded, and found herself on the ground.

Her head was throbbing, and a familiar stinging pain began to come back into her right arm. She lifted it, and unwrapped the gauze. Her skin still looked burnt. She had done a pretty good job at that earlier. She wasn't sure why it was hurting her now, but she paid it no mind, and just held it close to her stomach.

"I don't know how to help you Josh, but, I can try." she pushed herself onto her knees, and somehow managed to stand back up.

Though she was a bit dizzy, she kept her balance. She saw what Angel did, and screamed, "Angel! Don't do that!" she clenched her fists.

She realized a moment later that she shouldn't have done that though. She felt the blood in her arm begin its process and she unclenched her fists, bringing her arm back, holding it. This might be a problem.

(OOC: weather mind gets read or not won't make much of a difference, so *shrugs* Also, I've got to go take a shower, so I might not get to respond quickly for a few minutes! so try to wait for me!! )
 
Angel shifted back to normal, still pinning Josh. "And just what do you propose we do? Let the demon take him?", she said. Her moods were unstable. Gold kept her balanced. But he wasn't there this time.

(srry for the shortness, I'm falling asleep as I type)
 
Angel had turned into a dragon and pinned Josh to the ground Rikki then started burning herself with her powers and Angel turned back to herself, still keeping him pinned down. Josh was slowly losing to the demon in this battle of wills.
He tried with all his might to send a telepathic message to the angels, hey if he could here them then he could probably send them. *Guys I have to end this one way or the other, Im losing to the demon, and I know you won't kill me so that leaves only one option.....*

And with that Josh used the last ammount of his willpower to raise the Demonica dagger above himself and plunged it into his own stomach.

"Uggghhh.." Josh couldn't scream from the pain, it was too much. However in his head he heard the demons death screams. Josh felt himself vomit some blood on himself, and then his eyes slowly closed, as he lay there dagger in stomach and covered in blood.
 
Rikki didn't give herself time to be shocked this time. She got down on her knees beside him, looking a bit frantic. She put a hand on his shoulder, shaking him a little.

"Hey, you've got to stay awake kid.. . .no one's dying on my watch." she looked at all the blood. She had to do something. Slowly, she pulled the dagger out of his stomach, wincing at the amount of blood.

Okay Rikki, this is what you deal with. Water. Blood. There's no difference.

She concentrated on the blood that was coming from his stomach. "This. . .this is probably going to hurt a bit, but I need to stop this bleeding quickly, and this is the only way."

She knew how to freeze water, she had to do the same to the blood. If she could freeze the blood at the top of the wound, then no more blood could come out. It was the only thing she could do. She couldn't let him die. She held her free hand over the wound, concentrating harder on making that blood a solid, instead of a liquid.

It took her a few minutes, but she managed to accomplish this. Though by now, the kid had lost a lot of blood. She wasn't sure how much a human could lose and still not die, but she didn't want to find out.

"Kid. Kid, I need you to say something to be okay? Or think something. Anything." she said, shaking him a little. She was pretty sure he wasn't dead, at least, not yet anyway.

They were right outside a hospital. She turned to Angel. "I want you to go get a nurse. Understand me? I'm too weak, I can't bring him in. Go, now!" she ordered.
 
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH" Joshs eyes shot open and he screamed at the top of his voice, there was a painful cold spreading across him he looked down to see Rikkilyn freezing his blood, to stop more from coming.

*I'm sorry guys......, but don't worry....it's gone... the demon I mean, its gone, while I was under his control, I was still concious and I could feel his abilities surging true me, but, I also gained knowledge of things only he knew. Thats when I decided to stab myself in the stomach, you see the Demonica is a dagger, that attacks the soul by damaging the body, and since the demon was more in control of me, the Demonica killed him not me.....* Josh thought to them. *And please dont get a nurse Im fine.

Suddenly at the mention of the daggers name it jumped out of Rikkis hand and shot at Josh who barely caught it in time, as soon as his flesh made contact with the dagger his eyes turned blood-red again and his teeth turned to fangs, he could feel the demons power of speed and strength flooding through, the only difference was that he was in control.

He looked at his face and in horror through the dagger away, but it just turnned around and came right back into his hand, he tried breaking the contact to his flesh by putting the dagger in his pocket, this sort of worked his strength went back to normal but he could tell he still had his speed. His face fixed fro the most part but his left eye was still completely blood-red.

Josh felt memories his real memories the memories the demon kept from him...
He remembered Killing his own Father,and being taken to a mental Asylum, he remembered using the demons abilitys to kill everyone in the Asylum and escape to New York, he remembered the Demon telling him that he was there to find the Demons killer as it planted the fake memories in his head, he remembered hearing a voice at the back of his head telling him which hotel to go to and he remembered the Demon giving him Nightmares to make him wake up...

He looked at his eye again, "Im....Im amonster just look at me, Ive killed so many people, I , I killed my own father and hundreds of doctors and mental patients" Josh whispered , tears streaming down his face. "I...I...tried to kill you....I....Im sorry I...*starts to cry out loud* WHYYYYY?!.....WHYYYYYY?!?...."Josh was shouting at the top of his lungs and crying even louder, he stared up into his sky as he screamed. "I....Im sorry Dad...I...I never wanted this, please hear this I beg you, please know that I love you, I didn't want this to happen...Im sorry Dad...Im sorry to everyone that I killed and...."He looked over at the angels."Im sorry Angels of Darkness, I..I never meant to attack you.....I....." Josh couldn't finish his last sentence he had fallen unconcious from depression, his last thought was that if he died may whatever God there was forgive his soul.

(((OOC: wow that post went way longer than I thought it would)))
 
Angel had just stared in shock as Josh stabbed himself. Then the knife kept returning to him and he was fighting off the demon's control. Angel touched his forehead and looked at his memories. After a few moments she shook her head. "No, Josh. Your not a monster. That demon that possesed you is the monster. You had no idea of what you had done.", she said. She got up off of him and sat on the floor. She picked up Josh easily and set him in her lap. "You are not a killer. It's not in your nature to be a killer. Everything is going to be ok now.", she said. She held him close, not caring that he still had blood on him. As she held him she felt him go unconcious. *Sleep, young one. Nothing will harm you as long as I'm here. That's what angels are for, to help protect people.*, she thought. She stared down at him. He was too young to have to deal with all of this.
 
Josh awoke, he wasn't crying anymore and Angel was holding him in her arms she told him that he wasn't a monster that it was the demons fault not his. She told him that Angels were meant to protect people and thats what she would do.

Josh stood up, *thank you*, he thought to them. *I can't take back what I did, but I can repent for it, now I must help you more than ever, with the daggers effect on me and the crimes I've commited, I can never return home, so this is the only thing left for me to do with my life.*

Suddenly Josh heard something, it was the clanging of metal. Seriously! They were still at it! Raike and Alex were still fighting thats it, Josh was going to end this.

He took Demonica from his pocket and felt his strength grow, his fangs come out and his other eye turn blood red.
"I'll be back, soon" he said to Rikki and angel.

He walked around the corner and saw them, he ran faster than humanly possible towards the two, he knew Raike was an ally so he ran past him, Alex however was a different story he ran towards him and sliced at him with Demonica, using every ounce of strength and speed his new powers had given him.
 
Angel saw Josh get up and run outside....and he was attacking Alex!! *HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!?*, She shouted. She got up and ran after him. She caught up to him and restrained him, holding his arms behind his back. "Absolutly not! I have seen enough innocent blood spilt today to last me quite a few years!", she said. She moved him over to a tree out of harms way. "Look. I know you want to help, and I admire that, but I will not allow you to fight. Let me show you just what angels can do if their mad enough", she said. She touched Josh's forehead and showed him what had happened to her.

~~~Memory~~~

Angel hit the road, hard. She felt bones breaking, possibly in many places.....She collapsed on the floor of the hotel room, broken bones sticking out of her skin, rocks embedded in her side, blood coming out of her nose in a steady stream....Gold working on her after setting her on the bed....His gold eyes were concerned for her safety....the bed was soaked in her blood....

~~~End of Memory~~~

Angel waited to see what Josh's reaction would be.
 
Alex was in the middle of a clash with Raike when suddenly a small human teen ran up to him and was about to strike at him with a dagger. The human had some sort of strength, and if not restrained by Angel, he may have gotten hit by the dagger.

Alex eyed them both suspiciously. He had temporarily taken his eyes and interest off of Raike and looked at the boy.

"You were planning to fight me too? Kid, you should leave here while I give you a chance. I might not be so merciful next time around."

Alex slung his blade Adamanta over his shoulder and sighed as he looked over both Angel and the human boy. The eye of the blade was looking directly at the dagger. Alex could hear the whispers of Adamanta in his head, but couldn't make them out, as he must have been talking to himself.
 
Josh sent Angel a telepathic message. *Let me go Angel I can fight, I mean look at me I have the power of that demon, its power was stored in the dagger when I killed it and when I touched the dagger that power was transmitted into me, look I know what happened for you and Im sorry for that, but the demon wouldn't have come here if he didn't believe he could defeat angels. And so if I have his powers, then I Know I can do this*

He turned To Alex "Show Me mercy? SHOW ME MERCY!?! listen Dark Angel! I am in a really bad mood and am not about to take any of your Bull C***, Joshs anger flowed through his dagger and a blood-red glow started emanating from his eyes and covering his body his hair stood on end and he easily broke free of Angels grip, He charged towards Alex so fast he was almost floating, he jumped high in the air and brought his demonica down on Alex.

Alex shooked his head as the human broke free of Angel's grip and charged forward towards Alex once again. Alex began deducing in his head the best course of action.

Ok, he clearly isn't an Angel. What's more, he appears to have some sort of magic dagger that he hopes to gut me with. However, he appears to be in the body of a teenage human, so the strength factor is on my side. Alex stopped thinking and sighed. He wasn't going to unnecessarily fight a human, one who probably shouldn't be here in the first place. Alex spread his wings and took off a few meters into the sky and looked down at the human who attempted to strike at him. He held his giant blade Adamanta in his hands, which hissed something into his head. He could make out some of it, as he spoke louder now. Clearly he could feel the dagger had some sort of magically energy. Alex looked back a the human. When he tried to jump for Alex, Alex moved out of the way. He wasn't going to fight this one unnecessarily as well.

"Human, what are you doing? This is not your fight, and I don't want to get into any more unnecessary entanglements. I am only here to fight Raike."

"Im sorry Alex, I know this isn't my fight, sigh.... but you dont know the whole story I dont have any other reason to live than to help the side I've chosen and your not on that side!"

With that Josh jumped up into the sky and grabbed Alexs shirt and let himself fall to the ground, draggin Alex down with him.
 
Angel had had enough. She let out a scream that was so loud it paralyzed anything that was moving. Her voice was as great a weapon as her sword and magic. If she was mad enough, one shriek was all it would take to stun or kill an enemy. She seperated Alex and Josh. She was vibrating like a tuning fork because she was so emotional. And she didn't have Gold or Silver to help calm her down. Her emotions were ruling her actions now, her reasoning had taken a back seat. "You will hear me now Joshua.", She said, her usually cheery, soft voice was low and stern, like a whip, meant to grab attention. "I frankly don't care what reason you come up with, I am not letting you fight Alex! Did you get a good look at Rikki? That's what happened when she tangled with him the first time! She's one of the best fighters I know! She can fight better than I can!" Her emotions were getting stronger, her voice was getting angrier. Her eyes had gone completely black, no white in them what so ever. Her fingernails had turned into razor-sharp claws. "I know you want to help, but this is NOT the right way to do it!! My mate is out there, doing god-knows-what, only god-knows-where, getting into only god-knows-how much trouble!! Julie's flown off to god-knows-where, Rikki's in the hospital, Gold and Silver are no where to be found, and Alex and Raike are fighting!!", She was shouting now. " MY FAMILY IS GONE AND NOW THESE PEOPLE THAT I CONSIDER MY NEW FAMILY ARE FIGHTING AND FALLING APART!!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!", She screamed. Glowing pink tears were flowing freely down her pale white face. She was shaking, her wings trembling from the force of her crying. "I JUST WANT MY FAMILY BACK!!!". She turned and ran, going to the hotel and flying up to the roof. She sat on the roof in the same spot she met Silver....where her life had changed forever. She was distraught. She wrapped her arms around her knees and cried. She looked at her arm and saw that there was a few claw marks on her arm. From her own claws. She watched as her blood mixed with her tears. It had started to rain hard. Thunder rolled and lightning flashed, lighting up the city for a few seconds. In moments she was soaked. Her hair hung down her back and in her face, dripping from the water. Her feathers were soaked, turning them a dull, dark purple. Her blood and tears mixed with the falling rain. She didn't care anymore. She stared out at the city, her mind a blank void. She wasn't thinking of anything. She simply stared.
 
Alex was dropped down by the human. Alex sighed as he was dragged, preparing to fight back, until Angel separated them. She began yelling at the top of her lungs, which actually frightened Alex for a moment. He sighed, and shook his head.

"I have no intention of fighting you, either of you. I am only here for Raike, and he's a big boy. He can handle himself. You go find your 'mate', Angel. I'm not interested in fighting you or this human either, anyways. It would be a pointless battle, one that can be avoided." Alex turned back to Raike. "But THIS one, cannot be, so long as you do not comply." Alex slung his giant sword of his shoulder. The eye was now fixed back at Raike.
 
Rikki just stood there, watching all of them. She held her arm against her stomach, knowing there wasn't much she could do. She walked forward, grabbing Josh's arm.

"C'mon Josh. This isn't our battle. These two can handle themselves." Rikki said quietly.

She was too tired to do much of anything, if there was anything she could do. Her full strength wasn't back yet, and she still couldn't fly. She'd have to walk back to the motel, and she wasn't sure how long she could go before she had to lay down. Maybe she should have listened to Raike and stayed in the hospital. She sighed, looking over at the two who were fighting.

"I wish they'd give it a rest. But. . . we should go. You gave me a scare earlier and we both probably need to go rest." she told Josh, tugging on his arm.
