Crash landing

Chapter 1

"Life is a game, little brother... Look at that. Do you see it? Those are the Five Roses, the most elite force in Heart Fall. Each one tasked with specific duties handed down from each generation by Cupid himself," Ubiquitous said to Raia, his voice trembling with emotion as tears welled up in his eyes. He held Raia tightly for a moment, his heart heavy with worry and sadness. Then, he reluctantly released his younger brother and rushed after the robust army, yelling and firing his Flèche ďamour at the soldiers who pursued him.

That very day, the Five Roses finally claimed the Plasma District under the name of Moronic Redditch Amandas. All the surviving children of the rebellion's families were dragged into the capital of Amandas, forced to live a life of true darkness and despair.

"Hey, Raia, what are you writing? It better not be another letter. They specifically told us not to do anything that shifts the balance. Come on, don't you want to be more than just friends... If you ask nicely, I just might give you what you're looking for," Rabecca said, her voice filled with longing and a hint of mischief. She leaned against the cold metal bars of the jail cell, looking at Raia with a mix of desire and frustration.

"Oh, sweet Rabecca, a caged rat makes no demands," Raia replied, his voice tinged with sadness and resignation.

"Neither does a dead one," Rabecca retorted from the other side of the jail cell, a touch of bitterness in her words.

"I'm sorry, which one of us is behind bars again? I thought so. Besides, you said you'd break me out of here... Aren't your heaven powers working on these demons?" Rabecca asked, her voice laced with a mix of frustration and playfulness. She lit up a cigarette and leaned back, her elbows resting on the metal bars as she exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"You're such a baby at times, you know that. It hasn't been easy searching each room for it. The second I even act suspicious, everyone's eyes are on me... I think it might not even be here. My dream of avenging Ubiquitous slowly seems to be fading away with each letdown," Raia confessed, his voice filled with a mix of disappointment and weariness.

"Don't be like that. Father's room is the only one left, but today's the day of the Banquet. So, better keep your guard up," Rabecca said, her tone a mix of encouragement and caution. She unlocked the prison cell for her master, Raia Valentine, Vice Head of the Red Roses, and stood by his side, ready to face whatever awaited them.

Raia stood up from the cold, hard floor of the cell, stretching his arms and legs. He knew that Rebecca was right "Alright let's head out" raia said. "The Banquet might be our only chance to find the key that will unlock the door to father's room." Rabecca said as she opened the cell doors. "the raven key that will reveal the secrets of the Heart Fall rebellion" raia thought to himself "you'll be one step closer to avenging you're brother" Rabecca said "Ubiquitous" Raia said with heavy breath Raia and Rebecca made their way through the dimly lit corridors of the prison "Uhm.. What was that just now? " raia said as he saw Rabecca roll and lean against the wall "I'm being stealthy" she replied *Sigh* Raia replied "hehh stealthy!?" "Yes exactly like a ninja" Rabecca said "like a ninja" raia said "yes like a ninja" Rebecca replied. Raia paused and looked at Rabecca, Rabecca paused looked at raia too *AKWARD SILENCE* "I'm trying to blend in" Rabecca said raia smacked his head "Uhhh you're such a qwack, I think I lost something " raia replied as he started to look around "what are you looking for?" Rabecca' asked "the brain cells I lost watching you try to be a ninja" raia replied sarcastically "how rude, I should left you back in that cell by yourself hm" Rabecca said as she pouted "Atleast I wouldn't loose any brain cells back there" raia whispered "what was that!!!" Rabecca said as she tugged on his hair "uhm nothing nothing shouldn't we keep moving" "alright fine" Rabecca replied.

As they moved further in the corridor They could hear the sound of laughter and music coming from the Banquet hall, and they knew that they were getting closer. As they approached the hall, they could see the glittering lights and colorful decorations. The aroma of delicious food filled the air, and the sound of chattering voices grew louder with each step. "Finally we are almost there" raia said

Raia and Rebecca finally got to the banquet hall and slipped into the hall unnoticed and made their way to the buffet table. "Raia grab some food and try to blend in with the crowed" Rabecca said "how about you?" Raia asked " I was invited my dad's owns the building duhhh " she said as smiled and waved at some of the guests "Oh yeah" Raia replied as he piled his plate high with food, trying to blend in with the other guests. But Raia's eyes were scanning the room searching for any sign of the key.

Then, he saw her. "hey becca isn't that Ashley the daughter of the High Priestess" "yes and she's holding the raven key attached to her hand bag" Rabecca replied. Raia knew that this was his chance. He quickly made his way over to her "Raia!!!!!" Ashley screamed as she hugged him "keep it down I don't want to be seen here" Raia said "okay are you here alone" she asked "yes" raia replied as he signaled Rabecca to come steal the key and using his charm and wit to distract Ashley while Rebecca snatched the key from her bag and signaled raia she was done. "See you later Ashley" Raia said "wait already where are you going?" Ashley asked "to do my job as head of the red roses" raia said as he left the banquet hall and met Rabecca out side the hall "with the key in our possession we can finally open the door to fathers room" Rabecca said. Raia and Rebecca made their way to her father's room. They inserted the key into the lock and turned it, holding their breath as the door creaked open "*sight* look around fast" raia said as they both went in.

Inside, they found a hidden chamber filled with maps, weapons, and secret documents. " Raia knew that he'd find what he was looking for in here. With a sense of purpose and determination, Raia and Rebecca set to work looking and studying the maps when raia stumbled upon a document labeled XziXzi but shrugged it aside as it did not seem important

“Sooo.. what did you and Ashley talk about?”, Rebecca asksd with curiosity. “Hmm. Nothing really.. she's just a friend of mine, but you already know that, don't you? You're both friends.

Anyways, let's not head off topic. If we're not careful then..”, Raia said to the focused Rebecca, but a letter out of her top as she flick ed her hair backwards. It was red with black clay stamp of the letter T.

'She has one of those as well?', “Becca, what's that?”, “Oh..uhhm. Am not sure, must have caught onto to me. You know like static.. hehe. Oh! wanna see something very cool? My dad used to love showing this to me”, Rebecca said as she dragged Raia's attention away from the letter.. she had quickly stashed away.

In her father's bed side drawer Rebecca pulled out a purple cube with round perforations on it. “I know this is supposed to be a no wing zone, but trust me this is going to blow you're mind.”, Rebecca said, before balling her fists and using her green manner to slowly reveal her beautiful white angelic wings.

“I already told you those overgrown feather dusters don't impress me..”, Raia said with a flat face. Rebecca then slapped him smacked him with her left wing! “Shut up! Just because you can't do it doesn't mean to have hate on an angel like me”, “I thought you where a ninja?..”, “AM BOTH DAMN IT! SO EAT IT!”, Rebecca said as she hit him five more times.

Once she was done battering him, she pouted. Rebecca then held up the cude and gently flapped her wings causing dust to flow out of it like a sand storm;

The dust began to change the appearance of the room and before they knew it, both Rebecca and Raia where standing in foggy landscape that had giant pillars of rock that streched out for miles.

“Woah. This is amazing! I guess those feather dusters are good for something after all”, Raia said causing Rebecca to blush a little.

“I was never as brave as I am right now. Scared, weak and always crying.. that would be a bit of bit descriptions of the old me. The younger me. Each time would cry by dad would show this to me.

It would as always make me so happy, just to see thos place. It's important to me..”, Rebecca said to Raia. He scratched the back of he's guilt and thought about apologizing for he's crood behavior towards her wings. Raia turned towards Rebecca and the white fogg began to ink to black!“Becca, is this supposed to happen?”, Raia said with uneasiness. “Don't worry! Ill turn it off..”, Rebecca said, but then…

Hmmm… I smell something.. something so sweet and so rich.. I want it. I want it all.. Give it to me!! A voice spoke before the entire area was inveloped in miasma of darkness! Rebecca used her manner to retract her wings. The dust illustration was then collected by the cube Rebecca held. The room began to slowly reappear and our two main characters where not the only ones in the room anymore. Standing defore Rebecca and Raia was St. Charlotte Fredericksburg, Rebecca's father. He was accompanied by he's guards and none other than Ashley along with the Vice Captain of the white Roses: Sedaris Amandas. “I told you it was only the two of them..”, Ashley said to Sedaris.“It seems locking you up in that cell was far from ineffective. Raia, you'll ruin another gathering if you do not listen to me! This is probably going to cost my so much paper work, but you need to be with lady Ashley for the rest of the Banquet!”, Sedaris said as Ashley grabbed onto Raia's arm and dragged him out of the room.“Rebecca! I have told many, many times to stay away from my room.. and now I find you playing with toys! Grow up! You're not a child any more. You're a soldier on a mission. So start acting like it!”, Charlotte said with great intensity as Rebecca's head was lowered in shame.

“Father, I was just trying to show Raia something important to me. And I am acting like a soldier, I am fulfilling my duties as a member of the Red Roses,” Rebecca said in a soft voice, trying to defend herself. Charlotte looked at her for a few moments before he let out a deep sigh.

“Rebecca, I know how important this place is to you. But right now, we are in the midst of a serious situation. You can't understand . We cannot afford any distractions or deviations. You have to focus on your duties and what needs to be done,” Charlotte said, placing a hand on his daughter's shoulder.

Rebecca nodded in understanding but wasn't satisfied with the vague explanation her father gave her. but

"it does not change the fact that this place holds a special place in my life". She wanted to protect it, to make sure it remained safe and preserved but could shake the ominous feeling she felt in it.

"Father I think we should cancel the banquet I have a feeling something isn't right"

"No I can't do that over a feeling, I need good reason just focus on your duty" Charlotte said as he whispered to himself "He won't let me"

“I understand, Father. I won't let this distract me from my duty,” Rebecca said.

“Good. Now, I need you to come with me. There is someone I want you to meet,” Charlotte said as he turned towards the door.

Rebecca followed, her mind racing with thoughts "what I'm I going to do how can I lose him I need to find raia" she thought

"So father who exactly do you want me to meet? "

"someone important you'll find out soon enough let us get back into the hall his waiting"

. The darkness that had enveloped the room earlier still lingered around, but as they were focused on other matters no one noticed it as it started to creepin. As they walked through the halls,

OH DEAR SISTER.. I APOLOGIZE. IT'S ALL MY FAULT THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. DON'T CRY. YOU WILL BE GETTING MARRIED TODAY. EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO.

The Angel slayer Azazel said to he's younger sister the Queen of darkness XziXzi. Rebecca slowly sweated as the two twelve foot monstrosities knelt on the blood of the banquets musical band.

Rebecca spread out her wings,before thrusting a strong wind towards the two monsterous. Azazel was cloaked in a black filthy rob with six execution ropes around he's neck. On he's back rest a large emerald black bound in cloth. He's head was filled with a mess of gray hair.

The wind only seemed like a gentle breeze.

Hmm. For the last time. Stop calling me your sister you worthless insect! I'd rather feed on broken glass than share the same blood as a failure such as yourself. I mean honestly! I've been starving for almost twenty years and yet you've been busy stuffing you're face.

Let me know when you find him. Am bored. So I'll entertain myself with this lively bunch. If you dare mess this up for me! I'll end up crying and then I'll leave.

NO, NO, NO. DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY. I'LL FIND YOU A HUSBAND IMMEDIATELY. IN THE MEAN TIME …

Azazel said to XziXzi, before placing he's arm on the hundle of the blade. Rebecca rushed towards a large table, before grabbing it and tossing it towards the two, but it was reduced to splitters! Immediately.

XziXzi fabricated the throne from her before sitting down and facing Rebecca. The Queen of darkness was partly covered in bandages, the places where skin was exposed where a deep blueish gray. She wore a black dress that constantly oozed darkness and her long black hair draped on the floor like an ink stain.

Azazel teleported away as XziXzi smiled at Rebecca.

Raia and Sedaris ran through the hallway and up the stairs. “So you mean to tell me this you're brother owned. It has somekind of ultimate strong enough to beat those things! Right? ”, Sedaris asked an irritated Raia.

As the two approached the first floor the noises that follwed them got louder! Until the massive snake that chased after them caught up!

“Some vice captain you are! Use you're stupid arrows to take it out already! ”, Raia complained as he began to toss some umbrellas at from the first floor. “Look who's talking Mr 'I didn't bring my bow!', YOU'RE THE USELESS VICE CAPTAIN RED FOR BRAINS!!!”, Sedaris yelled before pulling the string on his bow and fabricating an arrow made of green manner.

He fired and the impact eviscerated the snakes head! “BOOM! SUCK IT YOU STUPID ANIMAL! Looks like am the genius amongst us Red for brains.”, “Hey White dreams! You gotta take out the heart otherwise..”, Raia said but the large snake began to regenerate it's head.. once it was done, two snake heads hissed at our boys.

Sedaris scratched he's head with embarrassment as Raia looked at him with spite. The two turned to run, but sensed some and he grabbed Sedaris's should and tossed him backwards. Raia was then cut by an emerald blade!

HOW INTERESTING? YOU'RE STILL ALIVE. THAT'S QUITE IMPRESSIVE.. I WONDER HOW LONG YOU'LL LAST. I BET NOT LESS THAN A FEW SECONDS. ANYWAYS. LET'S DANCE PERMIAN.

Azazel said to a bleeding Raia before getting run through the back by the massive blade. Rebecca's Cube then tumbled out of Raia's pocket. Dark manner gussed out of Raia's body, before enclosing Raia and Azazel in a sphere of darkness.

In side was a tremendous about of manner that was being generated, but the Angel killer was not even affected at all.. until the manner rushed in and out of the cubes openings. The two where then transported into Rebecca's comfort space.

Raia warped onto a stone pillar a few miles away in ordre to catch he's breath. 'No way am alive! But how? Nevermind, that right now. If my hypothesis is correct, me and ugly are trapped in here thank to the cube.

That cut he gave seems to be healing, but it's because of this strange manner leaking out of me. That's right, once I heal the cude won't have fuel to keep us in here. And if it gets out.. Rebecca. I need to keep fueling this no matter what, Raia though to himself as Azazel finally spotted him.

Raia quickly climbed to the top of the pillar, hoping to buy himself some time. Azazel followed, his massive blade dragging along the ground.

"You can't hide forever, Raia," Azazel taunted, "I'll find you soon enough."

Raia tried to formulate a plan, but he couldn't come up with anything "What do I do I need keep fueling this place but I can't keep running from this guy" Raia glanced down at Azazel, who was slowly making his way up the pillar. "how do I beat this guy." raia glanced back down at Azazel but he wasn't there "what! where is he?" Suddenly, Azazel reached the top of the pillar "Boo" and swung his blade at Raia. Raia quickly dodged, barely escaping with his head still on his shoulders. Raia ran to create distance between him and Azazel who slowly dragged his sword in the sand as he followed raia,. As raia ran he noticed that he wound had healed and the void was fading he stopped running and turned around "I hate this plan" as he ran back towards Azazel who swung his blade at raia. Who narrowly dodged the blade just enough to let it cut him open just under his rib cage missing anything vital. Raia breathed a sigh of relief as he narrowly dodged another attack. "Thank you, goddess of luck." as he landed on the ground his dark manner poured out and continued to power the cude "oh I see what you're doing permean" Azazel Said as he smiled at raia

Raia looked up at Azazel, trying to catch his breath. "What are you talking about?" "You're using you're mannar to super charge This cube, aren't you? No wonder I can Teleport out."

"So what if I am? gonna fight me bare handed". Azazel chuckled as he planted his blade in the ground and reduced his size to that of raia at 6ft4 he charged at Raia once again, but this time, Raia was ready. He summoned an arrow but with no bow he made it big enough to throw as a spear made of dark manner and threw it at Azazel. The spear sliced through Azazel's arm, causing him to stop "oh impressive you actually cut me" Azazel said as looked at his arm

"I was just getting started" Raia said, smirking.

Azazel glared at Raia as his wound healed "Don't get cocky".

YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL LITTLE BOY. XZIXZI HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.. TO HER EVERYONE IN HERE IS NOTHING, BUT FLESH SACK AND FOOD. SHE'S A GODDESS AND QUEEN OF HORROR. MY DARLING SISTER EVEN DID THE UNTHINKABLE AND WENT UP AGAINST CUPID HIMSELF. WANNA KNOW WHO WON. HERE'S A HINT.. THEIR STILL ALIVE!

Azazel said maniacally as rushed after Raia.

Rebecca good hit with even more spikes of darkness through her wings! The strong Ange couldn't take another brutal attack from the Queen. XziXzi laughed at Rebecca, before snapping her fingers.

Sedaris flue into room with most of he's clothes tone off. The hyperventilated with he's arms forcing the door shut! He's clothes resembled rags and his fingers where bleeding due to constant use of he's manner. As he cooled down, he herd crying coming from behind him. The sight of twenty Permians trying to hide, put a dreadful look upon he's face.

Sedaris gritted he's teeth with rage, before he slowly stepped out of the room.. awaiting he's return was a giant nine head snake that slowly dragged it's body towards him. “XziXzi. I guess the legends are true, huh.The Queen of darkness really is a monster nightmares.” Sedaris said as conjured up and arrow that was stained with he's blood and aimed it at serpent.

Back in the Banquet hall the floor then sprouted out millions of darkness needles, before XziXzi's hair erected to the ceiling and formed clouds of darkness. She then devilishly smiled Rebecca, before making rain boiling water. The guest cried out in agony!

This is entertainment! Cream for me on this glorious day! My wedding ceremony is going a hundred times better than expected. Oh my love where are you! I need you with right now.. No! I must wait! Wait for you to mature. Wait for you to build up all that manner! I can taste it.. So delicious.. So very delicious! I'll wait... And what do you think you're doing minority?

XziXzi said as a bloody Rebecca wore her pink manner gloves and took her stance on the needle ground.
