Darkness Reigns

[Fearless Love]

Rikki sighed when she heard Alex come back. All she wanted to do was go to sleep. She pulled her arm down just a little, sending a glare his way.

"His decision. Not mine to make." she said, looking over at Raike

She looked down for a minute, and cursed under her breath again. "Damn it." she muttered sitting up. The blood from her arm had caused a pretty big stain on her shirt. She looked at her arm, rubbing her hand against it. She had definitely boiled her blood fairly well.

Rikki suddenly felt something in her stomach, but ignored it for a minute. But as she kept looking at her arm, the feeling kept coming up.

"Could um. . one of you. . .um. . .oh, oh god." she scrambled to her feet, running to a nearby tree.

She coughed, trying to clear everything else out of her airway. She wiped her eyes with her good hand, then wiped her mouth. She plopped down, turning back around to face them, leaning against the tree. She held her right hand to her stomach and closed her eyes.

"I think. . I'm-" she put her hand over her mouth, and pushed back the feeling. "I think I need to. . um . . .I need some help, before my arm runs out of blood. And-" she had to put her hand over her mouth again. "Will one of you please just get me to a doctor?" she asked, having to turn back around, leaning over the tree again.

-Raike glared at Alex, showing his annoyance. He had asked before, on the roof, but why did he think he would come if he asked in front of Rikki. There were more important matters at hand, for example, Rikki was pretty messed up, and Raike guessed he should get his foot looked at. He calmly picked Rikki's up, holding her with both hands, but he still glared at Alex. Why would he fight his friend, and after the girl said that she loved him. Angels weren't all that different from humans, Raike could see that now. He spoke with defiance evident in his voice.-

"I told you once, I'll tell you again, only a bit harsher this time. I'm not frikkin going anywhere with you. I don't care if I'm the heir and I destroy the damn worlds or whatever, its not my problem."

-Raike turned and began sprinting at a speed of 300 miles per hour toward the nearest hospital. He limped some, but didn't stop.-

 

[SV]

Alex looked concerned for a minute at Rikki, wondering what he should do. His conscience told him to help her, but his mind told him to stay put. He had gone too far now to quit. Alex sighed at Raike. He had to figure out some way to get him to come with him. For now, it seemed Rikki had been too badly damaged. He followed Raike as he made his way to a hospital. He had no trouble keeping up, as it seemed Raike was limping.

Alex caught up to Raike and proceeded with them to a human hospital. He wondered if the humans had the medicine to cure Rikki. She seemed in pretty bad shape.

 

[Fearless Love]

Rikki groaned. She wanted to say something, but her mouth wasn't exactly working at the moment. She tried mumbling something, but she was a bit disoriented, so that wasn't working either.

Ah, hell. I shouldn't have done that. Any of that. Hell, I screwed up. Bad.

She opened her eyes for a moment, but had to close them again. Her eyes were too clouded over for her to see anything. She worked on her breathing, trying not to think about her pain, thinking that would make it hurt less. It didn't work.

She felt Alex wasn't far away, but she didn't really pay the thought much mind, her arm was hurting too much. She groaned again.

Alex, I've done some stupid things. But this, this has to be the stupidest. I let my feelings get in the way of my judgement. And for that, I'm sorry.

She kept her eyes closed, but stayed quiet. Not that she could speak anyway.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Rikkilyn tried to contact Silver, but it was blocked. No response at all.

～～～～～

Gold's eyes were huge.

"Bill?? Sh**!!!"

Gold slung his longsword onto his back.

"He's an archangel. He can cancel all of our powers when we're around him. Fighting him, is like being a human fighting him."

He climbed to the window.

"We've gotta find him, I'll get Rikki. You need to stay and relax, but if you see Julie, tell her. This will hurt her the most..."

He found Rikki laying in blood.

"Don't worry, I can fix this..."

He instantly healed her, which drained his power a decent amount. He wrapped up her arm.

"I need your help, it's Silver..."

He explained to her, then helped her up.

"Can you walk on your own? still dizzy?"

He waited for her response. They had to find Silver, and they had to do it like normal humans.

～～～～～

Silver awoke in a dank dimly-lit room. He whimpered. They had beaten him mercilessly, he was covered in bumps and bruises, cuts and scrapes. They wrapped his bad paws, but hurt him everywhere else. He swayed dizzily, the room spinning. He heard klinking as he padded foreward and looked down. Sharp metallic claws were put over his paws. Dog-fighting. They tossed him in the ring with a large great dane.

Please, I-I don't want to fight you!! Pleaded Silver.

The great dane glared. Nice try. I'm gonna make sure this floor is covered in your blood!!!

Silver ran circles around the locked ring, the great dane chasing him. He refused to attack, and the two men jeered threats at him. The great dane pounced and pinned him, leaning foreward to make the final blow, a bite to the neck. Silver still refused to attack.

 

[Fearless Love]

(OOC: I moved us forward to the hospital. Kay, guys?)

Rikki knew she had passed out. She couldn't say when she passed out, but she knew when she woke up, she was in a hospital bed. She had a splitting headache, her arm was burning, and she had a stinging sensation through-out her entire body.

She closed her eyes, resting again. She was quite sure she didn't fall back asleep, but she couldn't be sure, because the next time someone spoke to her, she was a bit disoriented. She looked to see who was in the room, which took her a few minutes considering they'd never had a conversation before. It was Silver's brother, Gold.

"Whoa, hold up! What happened to Silver?" she asked, then groaned again at the pain in her arm.

 

[SkyisUmbreon]

-It wasn't too long before Raike reached the hospital, and got a stretcher out to put Rikki on. He placed her on the stretcher, gently, and made her as comfortable as possible before getting a team of docters out to come and help. He stayed by her as they rushed her to the ER , and refused to leave the room when they asked. It took almost the whole staff of that section of the hospital to restrain him, and make him sit in the waiting room. He began listening to his iPod once more, still playing "Wake me up when September ends. by greenday. The song was made as a memorial to Billie Joe's father, who died of cancer. Raike silently hoped, that he wouldn't have to change the meaning of the song. He had known that Alex followed them, but he ignored him. After a while, that other angel which he still hadn't bother to find the name of, came rushing into the room, with an urgent look on his face. Raike arched a brow, but stayed seated.-

 

[SV]

Alex sat outside on the roof of the hospital. He was playing a song he tried to teach himself on the guitar. He was there with Rikki for a while, but when it was apparent that she would be alright, he left. Alex remained sitting on the roof of the hospital, his guitar in his hands. This time around, he would wait for Raike to come out, and this time, he wouldn't ask him to come with him, he'd tell him. He was almost certain at this point that that had to be the heir, and he just wanted to be done with this mission already. It was far too stressful for any side to be on.

Alex patiently waited. His Adamanta rumbled in his hands. He was certain he was not satisfied with the little amount of battling he was put through. Alex looked down at it and sighed.

"Haven't you done enough already, Adamanta? I've been in two big battles with either the angels or with Rikki for the past few days! You haven't had action like that in a while! You should count yourself blessed!"

"Well, now that you got more active, I got more demanding, so let's get to the battling some more, damn it!"

Alex shrugged. He stayed on the roof, not willing to lose track of Raike this time around. He also didn't wish to be in the hospital because the other angels seemed to be going there now as well.

 

[SkyisUmbreon]

-"Here comes the rain again, falling from the stars. Drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are." rang Billie, the lead singer of the band. He turned his head toward the ER doors for a moment, guessing that Rikki would be alright by herself. He stood and began walking towards the door that led outside. As he walked, people stared at him, casting dissaproving looks. Raike grit his teeth but kept moving, even when he heard the people talking about him as he passed. "This is how it's been" thought Raike as he walked out into the cool night air. He scanned the area, looking for Alex, and managed to spot him on the roof, playing on his guitar. Figuring that he was probably waiting for Raike, he burst off towards the city once more, at a speed that even angels would only see as a blur, almost invisible. "This guy, just doesn't give up."-

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Gold sighed.

"I must repeat myself?"

He shook his head and began again.

"Angel saw. Silver was captured by two men, one is a stupid-sounding human named Mack, and the other is an Archangel named Bill."

She probably didn't know about Archangels.

"It means, they can cancel out our powers. If we fight them, we're fighting like humans, no abilities. Also, there's no special way for us to track Silver. They are going to put him in dog-fighting, and they ,ight torture him first."

Unbeknownst to them, Silver had already been through this. He was in a fight at the moment.

"If you can walk, we need you. Angel is instructed to rest as well. We are unsure of Julie's wherabouts. So far, it's just us who need to look. He's in the next city over, probably some abandoned building. Dog-fighting..."

He frowned, worried.

 

[Fearless Love]

Rikki glared at him. "I just got my ass kicked, so I'm a bit disoriented. Sorry if I need something repeated." well, her mind was back where it was suppose to be.

She listened to him talk about Silver, and got a bit worried. More like a lot worried.

"What?" she shouted, sitting up.

She hissed at the pain that shot through her. She may not be hurt near as bad as she was earlier, but she'd probably be very sore for a while. She sat there for a minute, waiting for a little bit of the pain to subside. Once it did, she looked back over at Gold.

"I want to help Silver, but I'm not currently in the shape to do any fighting. I don't think my body could take it for a while. I don't heal as fast in this world." she winced at the pain. But she pulled her covers back anyway, swinging her legs over the edge of the bed. It hurt like hell.

"I'm just going to have to endure it." she said, pushing to her feet, but wound up hitting the ground, her legs not yet working.

She closed her eyes and pushed herself up, leaning against the railing to stand. She closed her eyes, sending a thought to Raike.

Raike, Silver needs my help. But I- I'm not going to be able to handle if I get injured in the process. Can you come too? Just in case I get hurt, Gold's priority is his brother, and I might need someone to give me a hand. You don't have to come, but I'd prefer it if you did.

 

[SkyisUmbreon]

"Tsk, that girl pushes herself too far."

-Raike sighed and pulled a sharp U-turn, dodging a car and heading back towards the hospital. 3 quarters of the way there, Raike stopped. A voice in the back of his head screamed at him saying,"What the hell are you doing? Why are you going back to help that angel chick, you should be workin on saving you own ass!" Raike thought it over for a minute, running over all their little talks and their first meeting. When he finnaly got to the part where he barely saved Rikki from the sword beam, his resolve flared. "It's because... becuase I choose to... because she's my friend." This seemed to silence that voice, and satisfied, Raike sped off once more, towards the hospital, kicking down the door to the ER, picking up Rikki and placing her back on the bed.-

"You are not to move from this spot Rik, I mean it. Right now, if you try to use any of your powers, in you current state, you will spontaneously combust, or more specific, you will kill yourself. Rest."

 

[SV]

Alex watched as Raike sped off. He was a blur.

Damn it. Why can't the heir be slower?, He thought to himself. He put away his guitar and got up. He moved straight into the city. Alex sighed. He was pretty fast on his wings, but this one was a demon on the ground. But Alex was able to observe the direction Raike went. He grew out his wings from his back and flew to his direction.

Adamanta pulsated in his hands. He knew a battle was coming, or at least assumed so, so he was excited. Alex, however, was just on edge. He didn't want to get into a fight he doesn't need to. It's not his style. Alex flew off, but noticed as Raike seemed to be heading back again. Confused, Alex touched back down on the hospital and observed.

 

[Fearless Love]

Rikki groaned. She could take care of herself, usually. Then again, she had nearly gotten herself killed earlier, all because she was too emotional. She pushed herself into a sitting position, wincing. She was going to protest, but she was in a hell load of pain, and she wasn't going to be able to argue with him for very long.

"I wish I could help Silver. But I don't think any of this pain is going to stop anytime soon." she groaned again. She looked at Raike, sighing. "You're right. I'll whined up killing myself, or nearly killing myself again. So I guess I should say thank you."

She fell back down, grabbing one of the pillow and putting a pillow of over head.

"Oh! What the hell is wrong with me?" she called into the pillow.

(OOC: sorry for the late response, damn computer is giving me a hard time >_< )

 

[SkyisUmbreon]

-"What is wrong with me?" She had asked. Raike smirked, joking in his mind; he could give a list, if needed. He soon regained his serious look, turning to who he guessed was Gold. He didn't really know this one... at all, but from what he saw at the hotel, he could be annoying, according to Raike. This wouldn't mean much to others, since it took so little to annoy Raike. Raike pushed open the window, and pulled off the same stunt he had when running down the side of the skyscraper. He jumped off a few feet before he would've hit the ground, rolling and popping up, as if nothing had happened, calling to the window.-

"Oy! Gold, hurry up man I don't got all day. And if the place I'm thinking about is where you brother is, then neither does he!"

((Last post for tonight, depending on if Vegeta posts next or not. Feel free to try and aprehend Raike now, although it will turn into a fight, probably.))

 

[SV]

Alex looked down to see Raike outside of the hospital. It was his chance. Alex jumped down the side of the building and aprehended Raike as he came down. He jumped next to him. Alex smiled at him briefly. He spoke.

"Raike, you need to come with me. It will be better for both us, please. I don't want to have to fight you and drag you with me, but I might have to if you don't come with me."

Alex really didn't want to fight, but he knew it may very well come to that. He was prepared in this case. He held his sword which was sheathed. The blade pulsed under the sheath. Alex was still smiling slightly.

 

[SkyisUmbreon]

-Raike really wasn't sure what, but he was sure he heard something snap...oh right, it was him. With lightning speed, Raike turned and aimed a back kick at Alex's jaw. He felt the wind pick up, and the surrounding leaves seemed to make themselves scarce, as his leg was raised.This was it, he was officially pissed off. For some reason this guy couldn't get the fact that Raike wasn't going to go with him, ever. Seeing no other option, he had snapped, and attacked the angel. Both of his eyes seemed to flash in anger. He kept his left hand on the hilt of the black sword on his back, judging from the previous fight, that Alex would eventually pull out his own, and so he was prepared.-

"Look Alex, I warned you once, and told you 4 times, that I wasn't going with you. This is the last friggin straw!"

((And with this I go to sleep. g'night))

 

[SV]

Alex lay there for a second. He did nothing as he took the hit to his face. While on the ground, he thought a bit in his mind. He thought about all of his life, and how he was brought up to accomplish this mission. He remembered his ways of thinking, how he disdained fights that meant nothing, how he enjoyed learning about new people, new things, seeing new places. He remembered how life use to be when he was in the Darkness Kingdom, being able to get used to not doing much. All at once, he had to temporarily discard all of it. Right now, he had a mission, and was going to complete it.

As Alex stood up, he no longer was smiling. Alex sighed. At once, he pulled out his sword from the sheath, and it transformed into the familiar blade giant blade. The eye on the center of the blade slowly opened. The eye looked directly at Raike. Alex spoke.

"You don't seem to understand anymore. I'm not asking you anymore. I'm telling you. You're coming with me, or I'm dragging you there in pieces."

Alex stood there and prepared. He closed his eyes briefly, preparing himself for what he was going to do. He waited for Raike to make the first move, as he always does wait for his opponent to strike first.

(OOC I'm heading to sleep, be back later tomorrow to post, don't get start too far without me. :) )

 

[Fearless Love]

Rikki's eyes snapped open, and she realized she was shaking. She looked around the now empty room and sat up. It had only been a dream. She put a hand to her head and took another look around. The room was dark, and Raike wasn't back yet. Slowly, she laid back down, pulling the covers over her. Her shaking hadn't stopped, and by the feel of it, she had the shakes pretty bad. She had a bad feeling.

She closed her eyes and looked for Raike's mind. She knew he was going to help Silver, but she wanted him to come back. She was scared. When she found his mind, she discovered something she didn't want to. He was fighting Alex.

She didn't get up. She didn't really make any action. He had told her to stay put, and that's what she would do, to the best of her ability. If she heard that something bad was going to happen, she'd go help, even if she wasn't much of it. She closed her eyes and listened, shaking even harder than before.

I'm not losing anyone else.

(OOC: Just writting something before I head off to school. Don't be too busy while I'm gone. I'll be back in about 7 or 8 hours. :) )

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel's heart stopped as Gold grabbed his long sword. *No! I will not allow this! I don't care how hurt I am, I am NOT letting you go alone! He said if ANYONE followed him it would end badly......I can't lose you, Gold. You and Silver and Julie and Rikki and even Raike, your the only family I've got. You and Silver are the only two I've ever loved since my family died.*She thought. She could sense she wasn't going to win this arguement. *Alright.....Just for Almighty's sake be careful! If you come home with even a scratch, so help me, Gold......*She was too emotional to continue that thought. *Make sure you come home to me, Gold. I love you*. She put her nose in the yogurt container and licked the yogurt.
