Crash landing

Chapter 2

Rebecca's face contorted with pain as she endured the relentless assault from XziXzi needles piercing her body. Blood dripped from her wounds, staining her pink manner gloves, but she refused to falter. She could hear the agonized cries of the guests, and her heart burned with a fierce determination to protect them.

"I won't let you harm them any longer" Rebecca spat through gritted teeth. "You may revel in chaos and despair, but I will fight for hope and light." Rebecca clenched her fists

XziXzi's laughter filled the hall, echoing off the walls. "Oh, how precious! This Little girl thinks she can defy me. You are nothing, a mere insect in my presence."

The room fell silent as XziXzi's hair clouds dissipated, and she stared at Rebecca with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. "Very well, let's see how long you can hold out. I shall enjoy watching your futile efforts."

Rebecca's breaths came in labored gasps as she tried to recover from her injuries. She knew she couldn't keep up for long, but she had to buy time. Time for Sedaris and Raia to return.

Meanwhile, Sedaris cautiously made his way through the corridors. The air was heavy with an unsettling energy, and he knew he had to be cautious. His fingers trembled as he notched an arrow,

"Okay okay you can do this you can do this" Sedaris said to himself as he came face to face with the serpent, its heads hissing and slithering in a menacing display. Sedaris locked eyes with the hydra like creature, his determination unyielding. Sedaris took a deep breath " this ends here"

With a flick of his wrist, Sedaris let loose the arrow, aiming for one of the serpent's heads. The arrow flew staright piercing through scales and drawing blood. The serpent writhed in pain, its heads snapping and hissing in fury.

Back in the banquet hall, Rebecca as her energy waned but her determination didn't. The guests huddled together, fear etched on their faces. Rabecca was still taking XziXzi's dark attacks and creating a momentary relief for the guests XziXzi stopped and her eyes burned with rage as Rebecca's determination did not falter. But then a dark hole appeared in the ground and a flaming hand appeared to come out from its depth was massive hell troll

Back in the upper floors Sedaris was trying to find a way to kill the serpent "how did raia say i kill this thing again?" Sedaris said as he was shielding himself from fire that three of the heads were spewing but in that moment the floor gave out and both Sedaris and the serpent started to fall through.

Julius slowly crawled out of the rubble to witness Rebecca bearly surviving against a seven foot Hell Troll. 'Becca. I need to help her, I need to help her.. think Julius, think!', the noble thought to himself before an Idea popped into he's head.

He searched he's pockets and pulled out a hollow cube similar to the one Rebecca owned. The Hell Troll exhaled a blast of hot flames towards Rebecca as XziXzi laughed and the female Ange's miss fortune.

“Becca! Catch!”, Julius yelled as he tossed the cube towards her.. XziXzi with lightning speed, snatched the item before it could get to Rebecca. She opened up palm in order to take a look at it. She noticed that her manner was slowly getting sucked up by the cube.

Rebecca with her quick thinking managed to notice that small detail and it sparked an idea in her head. She spread out her injured wings, before sending a powerful gust of wind in the Queen's direction! The manner infused wind rushed through the cube and it began to enclose XziXzi in a dome before vanishing.

“Yes! I can't believe that worked! Let's see how you like Freeing Mountains, you she beast!!”, Julius yelled. The Hell turned towards the celebrating princess, before charging after him. Julius panicked as the large creature jump after him, but it was sent flying powerful right hook from Rebecca.

“The Freezing Mountains, huh. So you did remember.”, Rebecca softly said as she stood Infront of Julius and smiled a little. All of her attention was now forced onto the Troll that got back to it's feet.

It realist an explosive roar, that immediately got overshadowed by the ceiling caving in! Due to a giant ball of white slithering necks. Sedaris fell from the hole and landed on Ashley. Rebecca then noticed the massive Hydra had a total of eighteen heads!

Raia's smirk faded as he watched Azazel's wound regenerate before his eyes. Despite his best efforts,

Raia took a deep breath, centering himself as he prepared to face Azazel once again. Azazel charged towards Raia with a thunderous roar, massive power behind his fist. Raia quickly sidestepped the attack, narrowly Azazel's fist . He could feel the wind as it sliced past him, a reminder of the immense power behind Azazel's strikes.

Gritting his teeth, Raia tried to counter Azazel with a swift punch aimed at Azazel's midsection. However, his fist met nothing but air as Azazel effortlessly evaded the attack, "damn his agility is just as good as his strength." Raia said "Common boy i thought you had more than that" Azazel taunted Raia as his frustration grew. The fght continued as their movements a blur of speed and precision. Raia unleashed a flurry of punches each strike aimed a Azazel's However, Azazel's reflexes were uncanny, and he dodged every blow with ease.

"You're not bad, Raia," Azazel taunted between strikes, his voice laced with confidence. "But you'll need more than that to defeat me." "Shut up" raia said " Raia's mind raced, searching for a strategy that could turn the tide in his favor. As he ducked under Azazel's sweeping kick, an idea sparked within him. He took a step back, creating some distance between them with a sudden burst of energy, Raia channeled his dark mana, surrounding himself in an ethereal aura. The energy crackled and surged, empowering his every move. It was a risky move, as tapping into the darker side of his abilities came with a price, but Raia was willing to take the gamble his stamina was being drained exponentially.

He charged towards Azazel, his speed enhanced by the dark mana. The force behind his strikes intensified, leaving trails of shadow in their wake. Azazel was momentarily caught off guard, "Now this is a fight" Azazel yelled with a series of precise strikes, Raia landed blow after blow on Azazel, each hit sending shockwaves through out the void.

It looked like the tables had turned, and Raia could see himself winning this fight, Raia launched himself at Azazel, delivering a devastating uppercut that sent him crashing to the ground. The impact shook the very foundation beneath them, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake.

Breathing heavily, Raia stood as the dust settled, Azazel got up and brushed the dust off himself "is that all you got" Azazel said as he started to walk to raia "if it is I'm really disappointed I expected more from you" in a ten of a second before raia could even realize it Azazel hit raia with a punch so hard that the void itself shoke and cracks formed

As the void started break apart it seemed that "Azazel's strength is simply too overwhelming to be defeated alone" raia thought As he flew straight through three pillars, catching his breath on the floor as he was bearly awake , a wave of realization washed over Raia.

"I can't do this on my own," Raia muttered to himself coughing blood, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and acceptance. "I need help."

Raia, recognizing the gravity of the situation, "Azazel, I understand the power you possess, but I cannot let you take me," he said. "My life holds value, and I won't be reduced to a mere collectible for your sister."

Azazel's eyes had a mix of frustration and anger, his voice dripping with disdain. "You speak as if you have a choice in the matter," he sneered, his words laced with superiority. "My sister desires your unique dark mana, and I will bring what she craves" Azazel raised his hand and sword came flying straight into his hand but as he was catching it at the same time the void withered away Azazel was quick to notice that XziXzi manna had vanished and he couldn't sense it anymore causing him to lose his composure for a moment and he telepored away leaving Raia barely able to stand as both his manner and stamina were drained.

SISTER!

WHERE DID THESE VERMIN TAKE YOU! ANSWER ME! WHERE IS MY XZIXZI! WHERE IS MY XZIXZI! WHERE IS MY XZIXZI!

Azazel mumbled on and on as he constantly hit his head with his fists. The psychotic god sat on the corpse of the giant Hydra as everyone bowed before him against their will. Sedaris and Rebecca where both covered in soot and burnt marks as they laid motionless on the floor bearly able to breathe.

Raia, filled to the brime with agonizing pain, struggled to get to he's feet. He dragged he's body against the wall for a while, before finally picking up the pace. 'This is entire situation as gone south.. fast. I can only hope not everything's dead. Me a vice captain? You're right! Am absolutely useless! I can't even fight off one stupid monster or even stop anyone from dying!

Cupid was the strongest! To be Cupid I need to be strong. I need power.. I need.. I need. I need to think. My only option is to out smart him. For whatever reason left in a hurry.. he's afraid of something.', Raia though to himself. The hallway he zipped through, then caved in towards the staircase all the way down,to the banquet hall.

Raia's reaction to seeing all the people slowly get frozen from the ice dome the goddess of darkness broke out of was one of pure delight.

Raia smerked as he jumped through the hole free falling towards he's enviable demise. Raia's body lounged like a torpedo, as he clocked the last embers of his manner he's right arm in one last desperate act of carriage, before touching XziXzi's head. Raia then yelled out, “Flèche Èvanescente!!”.Upon contact, the Permian's dark manner embers got super charged to a massive explosion that sent ice and snow across the room!

…

Impressive! Very impressive. You took advantage of the fact that I took posses dark manner inorder to intensify you're attack. Not just that, but you almost died sending out all this snow.

You've exceeded all my expectations. Nevere have I met a Permian, so devoted to saving Anges.. it's truth love. Love. Love. Love. Love. I wonder how it feels like to the way you do boy.. what was you're name again? Yes Raia. Is Love really strong enough to change fate. To change ideologies. To change hearts..

…

Well then. Maybe I'll learn about it all someday

…

XziXzi said as she walked round a room that was frozen in time. XziXzi stoob back in the position she was in before time gad frozen. Time resumed and Raia attack had zero effect of XziXzi. She grabbed him by the throat with her left hand, before determinating into a cloud of black mist!

The goal of the mist was to consume Raia in cloud of darkness, but things didn't go as planned. Azazel was enraged that Raia would even dear lay a finger onto he's precious sister. The psychotic god pulled out he's blade before yelling out;

SOUL REAPER!!!

With a moon cutting swing of the blade Azazel ripped out Raia's soul! The angry Azazel hoped to then chop Raia's body tomeat cubes, but he froze with fear as the mist cleared. The monsterous being dropped he's blade as he slowly backed away.

NO. NO. NO. NO.. AZ YOU i***t! YOU i***t!

Sedaris thought extremely weak watched the entire thing play out and he too was bewildered at the end result of the final attack. “Raia.. you.. bastard. ”, Sedaris muttered with disbelief.

Azazel was stumped. Left with no choice, he picked up his blade and teleported away in shame. Rebecca slowly opened her eyes and she saw Raia's body laying on the fluffy snow. As she finally regarded full consciousness, what she saw shook her down to the bone, laying on Raia's chest was a small six year old child with long black scruffy hair, who wore no clothes.

Raia covered her with he's jacket, before signing heavily.
