Blood Angel whistled a happy tune as he searched the various rooms of the auditorium. "You can't hide forever, Void Walker! " he called out happily as a bullet shot one of his wings. "Wasn't trying to, " a voice in the hallway replied as the lights went out. Blood Angel sighed happily. "Now THERE's the hunter in his prime element!" He replied ecstatically.
"You hurt my sister." Said Darkness as a bullet flew by Blood Angel's cheek, causing him to lick it gently. "I need to top off my fuel... such a beautiful creature she was! HOW was she never an actress?! A scream like that? She'd be an ANGEL on the set of a horror film!" He said as he advanced toward the gunfire. "But I suppose that's for later... you're going to have to do better than those peashooters if you want to do lasting damage here, Darkness."
"Good point" replied Darkness as a void tendril looped around Blood Angel's left leg and pulled to trip him, slamming his face hard on the marble floor. Blood Angel wiped blood from his nose and grunted. "You've recovered enough for this? GOOD!" He said as he turned his own wings into blood tendrils... "If you can't beat them, BLEED them" he said as he detected the remnants of Darkness's stab wound and charged.
"You found me." Darkness said as he appeared, slashed his back with a scythe, and stepped back. Blood Angel flinched and screamed out at the deep cut. "You use blood for your attacks... Which is a very good starting tool, but both you and your opponents only have so much, so if you can't use MINE, you can only use YOURS! I hid Lyte, and you won't be getting any more of mine." He explained while admiring his scythe.
Blood Angel chuckled, "Impressive! But until one of us drops, this Battle scene isn't over... Pat yourself on the back if you live to see the end credits!" He said as he slashed at Darkness. Darkness phased through the tendrils and slashed him again, but Blood Angel instantly used the spilled blood to stab Darkness. Both of them were now bleeding intensely. Darkness panted as he wiped his spilt blood away. Blood Angel gasping raggedly and doing the same.
"It seems we both are at an impasse..." Said Blood Angel. Darkness nodded. "Indeed. I've got enough strength for one more attack, and you've only got enough strength for one more volley of blood.... who's walking away?" He responded. Both men glared at each other as Blood Angel charged up. "On three?" he asked with a grin. to which Darkness nodded.
Both men took their final stance and narrowed their eyes. "One.... Two... THREE!" They yelled. As Blood Angel caused blood spikes to rise up, while Darkness phased through the radius. He pulled out a Colt 1911 and shot him in the chest. and watched Blood Angel collapse. "Ugh... has my aura control been that bad?" he said as he limped to get Lyte.
"Not bad... Though we'll need to get your Aura more developed," Said the Composer as he appeared again. Darkness just nodded. "I don't suppose there is any way you could heal us back to normal, is there?" asked Darkness, to which the Composer laughed. "That isn't how this works, Derek... I CAN let you use some of my aura... it'll allow you to heal both you and Lisa physically... but you'll be tired afterward." He offered, to which Darkness just nodded. "Do it.." he said firmly.
The Composer channeled his aura through Darkness, who healed Lyte before healing himself. Instead of it being instantaneous like he thought, it merely closed their wounds. "Good enough for now... let's get you home before I pass out." Said Darkness as he took Lyte to his car. "Lisa... My little sister... I'm so sorry I got you involved in all of them." He said while loading her into the car. "I didn't want to have to tell her this part... but I'm left out of options." He admitted as he drove off, doing his best to fight the fatigue.
As they left. A Pink-skinned demonic woman with flowing red hair blushed as she cupped her chin while adjusting her red dress. "What's this?! I thought I had a sure thing for a Knight in Blood Angel.... but now we have another? That hatred... that delicious... DARKNESS! He's so perfect!" She said as she stepped out of her black high heels and walked barefoot into the puddle of blood. "As for you, Vincent Verikoff... Despite your loss, you've passed MY trial... Come, we have much to discuss." She said as she healed his wounds while she and Blood Angel's still unconscious body disappeared in a flash of black and red fire. spelling 'KAYLA' as they vanished.
