A Verdant Hawk Crossover: Team VoidHawk vs. Team Gravity Angel!

 The morning sun shined down on Pink Top City as Darkness groaned and slowly stirred awake. "mmph, had that to be the best sleep I've had since I got here" He said while Yawning and sitting up. Celeste did as well as she grinned "You cuddle in your sleep." She said with a grin, causing Darkness to fly up out of his bed. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!" He demanded. Celeste just leaned back in a pair of black leather pants and a purple tank top as she put her hands back behind her head. "Deimos said He and Tristan are gonna be out for the day and gave me two tickets to a wrestling event nearby, I don't know anybody else interested so I'm taking you!" She said with a grin. Darkness just narrowed his eyes. "And if I say no?" He challenged "I'll show everyone the picture of you cuddling me... and for extra security, I'll steal all the alcohol in the house and tell Lazaros no more Mexican food!" Replied Celeste casually. Darkness sighed and just got into his usual clothes. "Fine... but put on your jumpsuit, I have a job to do and we need to check on the gang later!" he advised her, she jumped up and gave him a peck on the cheek as she ran out, causing him to roll his eyes.


A few hours later Darkness and Celeste loaded up on snacks and beer as they watched 'Tanky Tawna' take on 'Ballistic Britta' at the Pink Top City sports arena, with such a sold out crowd, Darkness was surprised Deimos managed to snack front row seats Celeste perched on Darkness' shoulders as she cheered on Britta "COME ON BRITTA! DISMANTLE THAT TANK!" She cheered happily as she nommed a giant soft pretzel. Darkness just sipped his beer and chuckled. "You really like this stuff huh?" He asked as he looked up at her. Celeste just nodded. "Hell yeah! I do so much violent stuff in the real world, it's nice to watch people look like they're doing stuff just as brutal but don't have to die... it's like a little reprieve from reality ya know?" She asked. Darkness froze for a second and thought about all HE had done. "Good point..." He replied as he watched Britta hit Tawna with a bridging 'Northern lights suplex' for the win. Even Darkness had to admit the move was amazing. Britta stood at about Five foot six with Tawn easily clearing six feet with twice as much muscle. "Christ I need to watch more television" Said Darkness as the show went on.


"So'd ya have fun?" Asked Celeste as she walked alongside Darkness, Who just nodded and sported a rare genuine smile. "Honestly? yeah! I don't usually watch TV, I just have a few beers and let Lyte do her thing, which is often gaming... I guess I gotta get more into wrestling." He admitted as he looked down at her. "Yeah! I can totally catch you up!" She told him as they both looked around. "Hey, Celeste.... the show just ended right?" He asked, the smile gone from his face. Celeste reached for her Beretta. "Yeah... so where's the crowd walking back to their cars?" She asked. Darkness reached for his Composer's baton, turning it into a scythe while they scouted the shadows.


"Well well well! So observant! Said a familiar voice as a man in a white suit stepped from the shadows. Darkness recognized from the white hair and blood-red wings that Blood Angel had followed him to Pink Top City. "Not this freak again." He muttered as Celeste noticed another thin lavender-haired man had emerged from behind him. "Percy...." She said with a sneer. Percy bowed and showed off his floral patterned Red Shirt while looking at the both of them. "Bonjour my friends! I hope you had a MAGICAL Day!" He exclaimed with a wild smile. "It'll be more 'magical' when you leave." Replied Celeste while glaring at him.

"My pretty warrior princess! OH, HOW YOU WOUND ME SO!" Exclaimed Percy dramatically while holding his heart. "Especially after My new friend and I went out of our way to prepare this fantastical series of events for you!" He said with a grin. Darkness just glared and crouched low in his predatory stance. "Figures you two asspukes would be working together!" He snarled. Percy just chuckled and nodded. "The enemy of my enemy is my FRIEND  Mon Ami!" He replied as Blood Angel smirked. "Well then.... shall we dance?" He asked as Percy smiled and threw knives in volleys at Celeste. Celeste ducked behind a car as Darkness Voided through it to join her. "Fuck he stocked up didn't he?" Asked Darkness as the knives followed them.


"SHIT!" Exclaimed Celeste as she yanked Darkness out of the way. Darkness noticed something on the knives. Celeste just kept her voice down as the two attacks both scouted the area. "How the fuck did Percy do that? He can't control his knives!" Whispered Celeste. Darkness sighed. "I don't think he IS! I saw something red on the knives, I think Blood Angel is using his blood powers to guide the knives Percy throws." He answered. "So that Angel can control blood? GROSS! So what do you think we should do?" She asked. Darkness sighed. "He can harden blood into blades and shields... My best advice is to not get cut." He answered, Celeste just rolled her eyes, "Thanks for the advice..." She answered Sarcastically as they separated.


Celeste went for Percy, who was quick to intercept her with a knife as he slashed at her, scoring a cut on her cheek, which Blood Angel stole a bit of blood from to fire into Darkness' Shoulder almost cutting deep enough to cause him to lose use in it. "FUCK CELESTE! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!" He asked as he fired a bullet into Percy's knife while Celeste shot off Blood Angel's wings, causing both of them to retreat into the shadows. Darkness grabbed his shoulders. "They're going to attack together." He deduced. Celeste nodded and glared, "So we DEFEND together." She told him. Darkness nodded and saw the knives standing at attention. "Do you trust me?" He asked. "More than I do trying to fight solo." She said as she looked into his eyes. He nodded and put away his weapons and holstered hers for her as he gripped her hands. "Shall we have this dance?" He asked.


Percy laughed maniacally as he threw volley after volley of knives as Blood Angel coated them in blood. Darkness and Celeste looked into each other's eyes as they seemed to glide away from the blades. Percy glared as Blood Angel made the knives follow them, starting to lose control. "We need to make them BLEED!" Exclaimed Blood Angel. Percy sneered. "Well mister red stuff! Do something!" He said as his accent slipped. Blood Angel glared as the knives surrounded Darkness and Celeste, approaching them from a Three-hundred-and-sixty-degree radius. Darkness and Celeste nodded to each other and pulled out their guns, skillfully shooting them out of the air as they came, rapidly reloading, when they went empty, Darkness scooped the rest of them out of the air with a swing of his scythe and launched them at Percy. Blood Angel tried to stop them, but was too tired from the Aura usage, Percy just chuckled as he swatted a bunch of them away, but took one to the stomach and fell over. As soon as he was down, Darkness rushed in and kicked Blood Angel in unison with Celeste, putting him through a concrete wall. 

Darkness sighed and panted. "Good work Celeste!" He said as he gave her a thumbs up, not seeing Percy throw a knife at him from behind. "GET DOWN!" Screamed Celeste as she pushed Darkness, taking a knife to the right side of her chest. Luckily, her body suit took some of the flack, but it got deep enough to cut her. Darkness quickly rushed in and punted Percy in the skull, knocking him out. "Piece of shit... Dammit, I don't have time for this!" He said as he got Celeste to his car.


Deimos sighed as his talk with Tristan was interrupted by the sound of screeching tires he saw Darkness speeding home in a panic waving as the car stopped. "How was the-" But he was cut off by the sight of Darkness bleeding from the shoulder and pulling out an even more bleeding Celeste. "What the hell happened to you two?!" He asked. Tristan quickly went to apply ice to Darkness but he just batted Tristan away and just shook his head. "No time, she got it way worse than me, ya gotta help her!" He begged. Tristan grabbed Darkness and held him still. "BREATHE! We can heal her, but Deimos can only heal one at a time, and right now you need to calm down, you're strong, but you can still go into shock... okay?" He asked.  Darkness just nodded and watched Deimos get to work healing Celeste. "I'm just gonna close my eyes Deimos, I'm tired." Said Darkness as he laid back. "Fine, but I want answers!" Demanded Deimos. Darkness just nodded lazily while he sighed and finally closed his eyes, happy to be safe at last. Darkness knew this wouldn't be the last they'd see of Percy and Blood Angel, but hopefully next time, they'd be ready, they had to be if they were going to protect their friends.


Deimos and Tristan laid Darkness and Celeste on the couch. Darkness held Celeste protectively and slowly powered down, sleeping soundly. "I'd almost call that adorable if not for the fact they just came barging home and in critical condition." Said Deimos with a shrug. Tristan chuckled softly and nodded as he placed a hand on Deimos' shoulder. "never a dull moment with us is there?" He asked. Deimos smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "No... I suppose not, We'll talk with Darkness tomorrow, but for now? Let's finish our cake in the fridge before Celeste wakes up!" He offered. Tristan chuckled again and nodded as they went to the Dining room.

  1. This was an interesting read. It was nice to see Celeste indulge in wrestling and that part of her character explored here. I also love how you got her cat mannerisms down pat. I loved seeing her enthusiasm for watching the wrestling event and Tristan and Deimos would get her tickets for that, especially Tristan. 

    I will say I prefer Darkness tagging along with Celeste than the other way around.

    Blood Angel and Percy teaming up is unclear. We don't know WHY they're teaming up or what his motivations are to rival Darkness. Why would Percy target Celeste? She is just a minor thorn in his flesh but he has bigger fish to fry. He targets Tristan.
    See, in Hella's AMAZING story, Percy and Blood Angel team up to get the lusts of their lives. Blood Angel pining for Lyte is a good angle to play at. 

    Why would Celeste be grossed out by blood in her line of work? 

    I will admit Percy's accent slipping in a rage is a good one as it does. 

    The ending was interesting with Tristan and Deimos and Darkness losing his cool with Tristan trying to cool him down. Pun intended. After that, seeing Darkness hold Celeste protectively was intriguing, and I did like how Deimos and Tristan want to finish the cake before Celeste wakes up. 

    This was very interesting and I am glad to have read it. Thank you for this!

  2. I love how Deimos and Tristan got Celeste wrestling tickets! They totally would and this shows how well they know her and her interests! It was nice to see her interest in wrestling explored here!

    I dunno what Blood Angel and Percy's MO is here though. It's not clear what Blood Angel's beef with Darkness is and why he followed him here to team up with Percy or why Percy is working with him to go after Celeste when his target is Tristan. I actually do love the idea of Percy and Blood Angel teaming up together though with their similarities and enjoyed writing them together in my story! We both loved the idea of Blood Angel pining for Lyte as it gave both him and Darkness a stronger motivation and also gave Lyte more spotlight and conflict, too! It also would create some more entertaining moments!

    I also loved that bit at the end where Deimos and Tristan want to get some cake before Celeste steals it lol, that made me chuckle! It was nice to see the main three together here!
