Chapter 45 - The Ultimate Weapon

This chapter introduces the last member of Satan's Crows. It was very untested and has been locked in the back of the hospital for a week. Also, I'll have a nice quiz in the outro.




--------------------



Midnight keeps the pressure on Raven, squeezing the life out of him slowly, but Raven begins to writhe around strangely. He begins to feel a great pain on his chest as a scythe begins to shoot out from his chest. The scythe begins to fly around on its own and slashes the shade holding him down, making it liquify instantly. The scythe flies back to Raven and lands in his hands as the hole in his chest disappears. Raven begins to run down the hallways of the hospital, as Midnight unleashes sever custers of shades to chase after him. Some shades turn into weapons, while some run forward and explode into shadows which fly towards Raven. Raven runs back and escapes into a room, out of breath, and hurriedly locks the door behind him. He looks forward to see a small body held in a large glass tube filed with green water. Raven slowly walks towards it and begins to type at the keypad next to the tube and say to himself
"I can't believe I have to resort to this, but we can't take on the sins by ourselves, and I won't be able to get out of here without her."
A shadow begins to seep under the door to the room and shapes back into Midnight, who asks
"What do you think you're doing in here!?"
The tube begins to open slowly and the water flows out of the tube, but the body is caught by Raven in his arms. Raven stands up and holds the body in his arms, and now that the hood is off it's face it is revealed to be a young girl, about 10 or so, with the black-feathered wings sticking out from the robe. Her eyes slowly open, and look at Raven, who is confused as he thinks
"A little girl!? This is the ultimate weapon?"
The girl looks into his pearly white eyes and blushes heavily, asking
"Who-...Who are you?"
Raven does not know what to say, and merely mumbles
"Uhhhh..."
Midnight points at her and asks
"What is that?"
Raven looks at her and feels for some reason that he can't look away, so he merely puts her down, allowing her to stand. She turned towards Midnight, and Raven saw that she had a chained-up scythe on her back. Raven notices this, and thinks to himself
"What was Satan thinking when he locked her up?"
The little girl tilted her head at Midnight and asked
"Why are you filled with such anger and hatred? Your aura suggests that you are practically made from these emotions and nothing else."
Midnight throws a shade at her, saying
"That's because that's what I am!"
A small flash of blackish light appears before the little girl and the shade appears on the ground in front of her, slashed in half. They can hear a chain rattling as Raven asks
"What was that!?"
The little girl turns around to face him and asks
"What was what?"
She smiles in glee, while Raven tries to figure it out. Midnight does not care, and instead flows out 3 shades from the ground, which begin to dash at the girl. The girl hears this, and says to Raven
"Excuse me for one second."
The girl turns to face the shades, and Raven watches extremely closely on her. He can see her whirl a chain in front of her which has the sycthe on the end of it very quickly, which slashes the shades in half. The shades liquify and return to Midnight along the ground. Raven asks her
"What kind of weapon is that?"
The little girl turns around and shows him the chained sickle, saying
"It's called a Kusarigama, basically a sycthe on a chain. The weight on the end balances it out, but sometimes it's hard to use. I've gotten used to it though, are you impressed!?"
Raven sees the excitement of wanting his approval in her eyes and replies
"Well, yes. Your speed and technique are amazing."
She jumps up and down, quite giddy, and asks him
"If I get this meanie away from you, can we...maybe..."
She begins to blush a little, and Raven sees her embarassment, saying
"Sure, whatever you want, but I need to take care of something too, so I'll see you later."
Raven begins to fly out of the building through the open roof, and Midnight tries to go after him, saying
"Hey! Get back he-"
Midnight is stopped when the girl whirls the sickle at him, holding him in place and launching him behind her, crashing into the wall. The little girl holds the weapon in her hands in a striking position, saying
"Hi, I'm sorry that I have to do this, but you're kind of in my way."
Midnight tries to stand but he sees the sickle suddenly, impale his chest and knock him down, the girl is now behind him, shoving the sickle into his chest. She begins to run away, dragging Midnight by the sickle painfully on the ground. She runs at high speed, hurting Midnight as the sickle rips through his insides, until she arrives at what seems to be a large cave on the outskirts of Evergreen City. She stops, at launches Midnight into the cave, watching him fling through the air and crash into it. The girl assumes victory, and turns to walk away but Midnight stands saying
"I am anger, little girl(coughs blood)...I cannot be stopped."







The girl is frightened at this, but regains confidence and replies
"Oh you'll be stopped alright. I can't have you get in my way for a while."
The girl launches the sickle into the darkness of the cave at Midnight, but the shadows of the cave seem to catch the sickle and hold it in place. The shadows grab the chain and pull her towards him, holding her in place, hovering above the ground in front of the cave. He walks towards her slowly, as the hole in his chest regenerates, and his arm turns into a sharp spike as he says
"You're the one in my way."
He stabs her in the chest, and she is taken aback by the intense pain. The shadows drop the sickle, dropping her with it, and she begins to bleed heavily on the rocky floor. Midnight's arm reforms, and he simply walks away in silence, leaving her to rot. Suddenly, she stands up and says
"Oww, that wasn't very nice!"
Midnight is shocked to hear her voice, and turns around to see her already throwing the sickle at him. The chain wraps around his waist, and she kicks him in the face, knocking him over. She holds her hand over his face, and he begins to feel immense pain as light emanates from her hand. She begins to chant
"que ce piège à lumière, l'âme de ce mal, laissez-lui que le châtiment de la porteuse de lumière!" ("let this light trap this evil soul, let him feel the punishment of the light-bringer!" note:it's in french)
Midnight suddenly freezes up in a glass of pure light, and is flung back into the cave. The girl slowly stands up, now very exhausted, and lowers her collar to show a strange seal on her skin. She says to herself
"Carrying around power like this is too much, Master, but I'll bear the seal for you."
She walks off towards the city under the sunrise and soon starts flying using her wings.





It is now much later at night as Eric finishes up a training session with his friends. He has apparently gotten the hang of synchronizing movements, as we can see he and his friends are able to move simultaneously, kicking and punching the air at the same time. He stops his movements, as everyone else does, and severs his mental ties. Everybody relaxes, and Brandon is trying to catch his breath. Christina said
"We've only been trainig for an hour!"
Brandon simply replies
"Shut up. *pant* I'd rather not get insulted a few days before we have to kick some serious @$$."
Agent A appears behind Eric, and claps for his efforts, saying
"Bravo, Eric. You've come a long way, but I have something that should help you in your battle. Come with me."
Agent A stands by Eric, and snaps his fingers, disappearing from the spot with Eric. Everyone wonders where they went, while Agent X and Agent Y are sure that Agent A knows what he's doing. Agent A and Eric arrive at what appears to be a small cave in the mountains, where Agent A lived out the milleniums. He walks into the cave and shows Eric what appears to be some strange suits, saying
"These are the battle suits that we Agents wore into our battle with god's soldiers. I want you all to wear these when battling Midnight."
Eric walk towards the one in the back, looking pure white and not old at all, asking
"Who's suit was this?"
Agent A notices this and replies
"That was my suit, I kept it in good condition because I wanted a new hero to wear it with pride....and that hero is you, Eric."
Eric looked back to him, and nodded, saying
"I'll be ready in two days,...we'll be ready."
Agent A says
"There'll be one last surprise tomorrow, but until then, you need to rest. Midnight is someone that only you can take care of. He is part of you, after all."
Eric thinks about this, and agrees
"You're right, and I'll do whatever I can to stop him."
Agent A sees how much he's grown and thinks to himself
("Eric cares so much for his friends, he reminds me a lot of myself. We have less and less time each day. Midnight has to be stopped.")
Agent A and Eric teleport back to Eric's house, leaving the cave with the suits teleporting as well.
