Chapter 47 - Your Responsibility

I have been so friggin stuck, lately. I've had writer's block for so long but I wanna finish this before summer, so I'll wrap this up at chapter 50. Btw, I have been COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY ADDICTED to the Mega Man series for some reason lately. Anyway, I'll try and write this chapter as best as I can.




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





She-Devil can be seen following a trail towards a cave, with two flying demons carrying the unconcious girl by her arms. She-Devil said to herself
"Well, this girl's a little mischeif-maker, isn't she? Oh well, as long as I can find Midnight and he can fulfill his stupid wish, I can take his powers and cause Armageddeon before it's too late."
She-Devil arrives at the cave with Midnight buried under the rocks and snaps her fingers, saying
"Drop the girl and start digging, boys."
The demons immediately follow her orders and drop the girl onto the ground rather harshly, ignoring the thump and hovering over to the cave. They begin to pick up the boulders covering the entrance and, one-by-one, drop them by the side of the cave, slowly revealing the entrance. She-Devil begins to walk into the cave as it is, rather quickly, fully opened by the demons. She notices the crystal-encased Midnight, frozen in place by some sort of light seal. She-Devil turns and asks the demons
"So, she was already powered by him when she did this?"
The demons slightly nod their heads, agreeing. She-Devil turns back to face it, and merely flicks the seal in the center, seeming to do nothing at all. She turns and walks out of the cave, while the crystal encasing Midnight collapses behind her, freeing Midnight. He pants, and angrily asks
"What took you so long!?"
She-Devil, not even turning around or stopping, merely replied
"It's not my job to worry about weather or not you get in random fights."
Midnight follows her, and asks
"Well, what shall we do with the girl, then?"
Suddenly, above the cave, we can hear a familiar voice saying
"You can let her go."
She-Devil and Midnight stop, and look above the cave to see Raven, under the light of the moon with his black-feathered wings. His forehead now burns the number 1. Raven continued
"She has nothing to do with the plan She-Devil. Just let her go."
Another voice could be heard off in the distance
"She's not someone you can toy with!"
From about 50 feet away, we can see Agent Y dashing towards She-Devil at great speeds with his fist out. Just as he arrives, She-Devil quickly grabs a hold of his arm and locks it between her arm, staring him in his angry eyes. She mockingly asks him
"Aww, what's wrong? This little girl's on your mind? Well then, just take her. It's not like anyone needs her anymore."
She-Devil lets Agent Y go, and walks over to Midnight, whispering in his ear
"C'mon, let's head to the mountaintop. We can talk in private there."
Midnight simply nods, as his shadow turns into a wormhole, sucking them in and disappearing. Raven jumps off of the cavern and kneels down to the girl, putting his hand on her forehead to feel how she is. He stands up after a few seconds and says to Agent Y
"She'll wake up soon, but there's no major damage. However I'm afraid that she won't be able to remember anything with this new body. How do you know her?"
Agent Y looked to her, and even though she was older, he knew that he recognized her. He replied quietly
"I'm not sure, but I know that I've seen her like this before. In her cloak."
Raven is confused at this, but accepts his statement. He begins to hover using his wings, and says to him
"Well, she doesn't have anywhere to go now, so I suppose she's your responsibility now."
Agent Y looked towards her beautiful face and thought to himself
("My responsibility?")
Raven continues
"I'll leave her to you, I'm sure she will be fine under your care." and starts to fly towards the mountain where She-Devil and Midnight left to. Agent Y continues to look at her face as he sees that her eyes slowly open, revealing them to have two different eye colors. Her left eye was a very bright and beautiful blue, while her right eye was a very dark and intimidating red. She sees Agent Y above her and sits up, asking him
"Who are you?"
Agent Y does not answer but instead quickly picks her up and carries her in his arms, looking her straight in the eyes and saying
"Your different from the last time I saw you."
The girl blushed incredibly at seeing Agent Y's face and could feel her heart-pounding immensely. She slowly grabbed one of his palms and held it over her heart, asking
"Can you feel it? My heart's pounding."
Agent Y could feel it, and closed his eyes, saying
"Yes...I can feel your heart."
He takes his hand away and begins to turn towards the city, carrying the girl with him. She asks him
"Do you know who I am? I can't remember anything."
Agent Y looks into her innocent eyes, seeing her crying out for help inside, and simply answered
"Mandy....That's your name."
The girl, now called Mandy, smiled at him and said
"I like that name."






Meanwhile, Eric is laying on his bed in his room, looking up at his ceiling and thinking to himself
("Now that our suits are ready, I think we'll stand a chance against Midnight. But even so, It's still up to me to put a stop to Midnight by myself. I just hope I'm strong enough to face-")
Eric is interrupted when there is a knock at the door. Brandon says from behind the door
"Hey Psy, I gotta talk to you."
Eric sits up and replies
"Sure, come on in."
Brandon opens the door slowly and peers in to see Eric for a few seconds. He then opens the door fully nd walks over to Eric, saying
"Look man, I can't have you always worrying about these past few days. I'm not lettin' some jackass ruin my summer or our city!"
Eric smiled at Brandon's bravery, replying
"Brandon, I wish it were that simple, but until this is over, we can't really do anything."
Brandon didn't frown at this, but simply yelled back
"Well, then let's go kick his @$$ today!"
Eric chuckled a little, and stood up, telling him
"One Day, Brandon, that's all the time you have to wait."
Brandon turns around and leaves the room, still impatient and hating to wait. Eric lays back down on his bed and turns off his lights via a remote control on the side of his beds. He lays his head on his pillow and thinks to himself
("I still feel like I won't be prepared for tomorrow. I guess I'll just have to keep hope.")
Eric closes his eyes and starts to fall asleep, in a state of self-doubt.





Raven arrives at the mountaintop, and hides behind a large rock, seeing She-Devil and Midnight on the tip of the highest mountain talking. She-Devil asks him
"What do you plan to do now, hot-shot?"
Midnight angrily replies
"It's about time I pull out all the stops. Tomorrow, hell will visit this town and set it aflame!"
She-Devil smirks at this, saying
"That's what I'm talking about! Now you're taking initiative. Still though, we only have one day, so now, as you promised, you gonna have to be sealed up with a timer."
Midnight puts out his palm and She-Devil lengthens her index fingernail. She-Devil begins to carve a circular seal on his palm in blood, and when it finishes, it quickly bursts into small flames and permanently marks his hand with the seal as the flames go out. He feels no pain from this, and merely says
"Alright, after I've killed the brat you will gain my powers and begin your devastation of this world."
She-Devil nods and replies
"Good, now that that's been settled, I'll leave you to your work."
She-Devil's wings grow out of her back and she flies back to the new headquarter's just below the mountains. Raven thinks to himself
("Dammit! Time's running out faster than I thought! It seems She-Devil is already about to exchange power with Midnight, so armageddeon might have already started. I have to stop Midnight.")
Midnight begins planting his feet in the ground and stretching his arms out. He begins to yell
"Let the final attack begin!"
Darkness and shades spread all over the place around Midnight and begin to form with tremendous weapons and evil faces. Raven does not see this, and bursts out from the rock, flying at Midnight with his fist out, only to be slammed down by a shade before he gest there. The shade holds him down by his neck, as shades begin to surround him as Midnight says
"No one can stop me now, you fool! You will be a fine example of the horror this city will face! Now, destroy him!"
Raven sees the shades jump at him and closes his eyes, only to hear slashing sounds all around him, and Midnight's voice screaming several times. He opens his eyes, to see his partners Demise and Blood, standing on the sides on him with their scythes out and the shades have dissolved into liquid. Demise says to him
"C'mon Raven, We gotta get out of here!"
Blood agrees and says
"Yeah, There's been a development in the plan!"
Raven jumps up from the ground and flaps his wings, flying off with the other two towards the bottom of the mountain and out of the shades' sights.
