【ᴛᴡ! ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ, ᴠɪᴏʟᴇɴᴄᴇ(?)】 【ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴀ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴛ. ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀᴅʏ?】 (I apologise in advance) [-] “You ready to open the gate bud?” Xander nudges Erin playfully. “Heck yeah!” Erin grins. “Exited?” “Mhm!!” He ruffles Erins hair. “Well come on deputy, everyone’s waiting for you!” Erin puts his spear on the fluffy cloud, Xander guiding him as the two of them open the gate, looking more like a scratch in the clouds. “Lets go!” Xander calls, before flying down. Erin and the rest of the guardian angels follow. Deria walks towards the opened gate and closes it. “I wonder how it’s like down there.” Vixen mutters. “Not pretty.” Deria responds. [+] “Azazel, Kirin and Erin, your coming with me.” I smile as I fly towards Xander. Being deputy is nice! Being taught one on on by Xander, being able to boss around the others, its fun! And once Xander steps down, I’ll be leader! Won’t happen for at least 10 years, though. Maybe. “How’s it like training with the leader?” Kirin asked, gliding towards me. “Fun! Xander is super fun.” “Hm! Thats a compliment.” Xander comments, smiling. “Its only fun cuz your younger.” Azazel grumbles. “I’m 19- almost 20!” “Well you act like a kid.” “Hey! Thats not-“ Kirin’s mechanical wing suddenly halts. Azazel stops as well. There’s some sort of tentacle holding him down-? whats going on? I feel one grab my foot. I get dragged down. Oh [**]- I try to fly back up, but the- the thing is too strong. Xander grabs my wrist and tries to fling me back into the air but he gets dragged down as well- OH [**]- I hit the ground, my spear cracking a little. Blurry… “Erin?—you hear—? Erin!—?—Erin!” Huh..? I try to lift my head, but something is holding it down. “You [**]!—him go—“ My head gets smashed into the concrete. I hear myself scream. “YOU [**]!—GO—DON’T YOU—ERIN!” There’s a crash, and the thing holding me down lets go. Someone snatches me and starts running. What is…? “Xander..?” I mutter. “Are you—? Are—you ok?” He questions worriedly. “Mhm…” Someone is chasing us…? “X-Xander, whats going on?” I ask. “Demons are attacking us.” “Demons aren’t that powerful, though..” “Their part of the spider lilies-“ The tentacle thing crashes down, barely missing us. I slip out of Xander’s hands and start running as well, summoning my spear. Xander looks at me concerned. “Bud are you sure you can-“ A tentacle reaches for my face, and I use my spear to shield myself. My spear cracks some more. I can do this. I hope- I’m scared… The demon standing in front of me is big, and has spider lily beads on her horn. I charge at her, but another tentacle wraps around me, stopping me. Xander slices at the tentacle, releasing me. “Go! I already told Deria our situation, she should have opened the ga-“ The severed ‘thing’ hits Xander. Oh no- OH NO- The tentacle regrows- NO NO- ITS GETTING CLOSER- ITS GOING TO- XANDER- I block the thing. It pierces my left eye. I scream. I fall. Am I dead? No…I can still see. “ERIN—ERIN!” It hurts to keep my eyes open. I close them. “ERIN—HELLO?—ERIN—NO NO—“ Xander… At least I saved him, right? “YOU—I WILL—YOU-“ Everything goes blank. Am I dead? ….. …. … .. . Huh? Someone saved me. I open my eyes. My face…I touch the left side of my face. Ow. “Erin! Oh my…I-I thought- I saved you in time, oh my…” Xander is sitting beside me. Is he…? There is blood all over him… “We have to go.” He picks me up and starts flying up. I can see the gate open. A few other guardian angels are already up there…were they all attacked? Where is Kirin? I don’t see him up there with Azazel… A tentacle grabs Xander’s wing. Another pierces his stomach. I hear him scream. [**]- No no no- Blood is dripping out of his mouth- “B-bud—can you fly?” “I- hope so…” “Then go.” “Wh-WHAT? At-at least let me heal you!-“ He gives me his bow, that was tied around his wrist. Its covered in blood. “Xander no! I’m not leaving y-“ The tentacle tugs at him, and he lets go of me and- no. I am NOT LOSING HIM- I fly down. No no no- He hits the ground, unconscious. No no no- I land… No no no- “Xander?” No response. “Xander?…” No response. “XANDER?!” I shake him, trying to see if he’s awake. Heal him, you [**]… I extend my hands to heal him, two rings forming on both of my hands… I- I can’t… He’s… A tentacle crashes down, and I fly back up. [-] Vixen watches as Erin crashes onto the ground. “Erin!” There’s a scar on the left of his face. “Erin?” Erin looks up to Vixen, tears falling from his face. He lowers his face, gripping tighter onto what seems to be Xander’s bow. “What happened to Xander…?” “…gone.” Is the only thing that comes out of his mouth.
