Chapter 13 - So it starts…

"This is too easy." Seifer Almasy hefted Hyperion on to his shoulders; the ebon-stone gunblade glinted against the pale moonlight, his companion the dreaded demonlord who held the mighty Lion Heart sent out a faint physic probe towards their targets.

"They have conveniently split up. Keep hidden until we find them." Squall flicked his mousey brown hair back from his eyes. `Lord Muraki will be pleased.'

"Farfarello?"

"He's ready and in place." He replied stonily.

The blonde snickered evilly as his form shimmered in the light.

"Then let the dance begin."

* * * * * * * * * * * *

The glowing blade sliced through flesh like a knife through butter. Stray drops of blood splattered against a flawless white cheek as red eartails danced playfully in the wind.

"The boss demon is close, I feel its presence." The God of Revenge briefly nodded violet orbs narrowed as the try to seek out the demon. To his surprise nothing abnormal could be sensed.

"What the…"

A spot of air above them suddenly shimmered, revealing Seto Kaiba, his scythe in his hand bloodied from previous battles.

"Kaiba can you sense anything abnormal out there?" the red head nodded towards the dark twisted forest.

"It's getting closer." The speaker lazily traced the grooves of a dead tree oblivious of his surroundings

Kaiba's arctic blue eyes narrowed sharply as he sent out a psychic probe around the area.

"What are you on about Nataku? There is nothing out there! The forest itself is dead." He snorted at the sable-eyed angel.

Kaede hopped off the branch he was sitting on and stood beside Nataku.

"This isn't an ordinary boss demon; it has acquired a technique to avoid being detected by higher beings." he nodded towards the Gods direction, his sky-blue eyes filled with worry.

"Must be Muraki's doing." Aya unsheathed his Katana.

An eerie silence filled the forest, brown leaves fluttered lifelessly in the wind as gnarled branches reached towards the grey sky.

Nataku froze his hand in mid action of tracing a tree groove.

"It is coming from the north." he indicated to where Kaiba was floating above them.

Icy eyes gave him a dismissive glance as the God of Death soared upwards towards the twisted branches, his temper barely sustained. Because of this, unfortunate branches that got in his way were incinerated by an out burst of his powers.

"Ku'so Seto! What are you trying to do?" Kaede's eyes widened with shock as he ignited his own powers.

Seto silenced him with one of his well known glares.

"Don't expect me to wait for it. I have better things to attend to." with that Seto soared towards the approaching demon, with Kaede protesting at his back.

"Matte." Aya shot of after Seto.

"Damnination to the bowels of Hell!" Kaede spat as his own aura flared about him, making his silver hair to dance in the unnatural breeze, he turned to scowl at the other angel who was busily studying the dead tree behind them.

Behind the protesting angel, a pair of unnoticed golden eyes gleamed maliciously.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Muraki mentioned two of his fellow Demonlords to come towards him, gloating in his crimson armchair at the chaos and disorder in the mortal world.

"I have a very special mission for you." Seishiro took a drag of his cancer stick and flicked his bored grey eyes at Muraki.

"What of?"

Muraki lent back in his armchair steepling his fingers.

"I need you to assassinate the emperor of Edifice. Hotohori." A satisfied smirked plastered on his face.

The other figure by the wall looked up sharply at the mission, the sniper's purple eyes widened with surprise.

"Muraki-sama…" Irvine began as Muraki dismissed him with a wave with a hand.

"We've obtained all the necessary information from Schuldich." His smirk widened as he bordered the line of insanity.

A sick feeling settled in Irvine's stomach. `I wouldn't want to know HOW Schuldich obtained the information', the orange haired demonlord was well known for his Telepathic abilities. Muraki's metallic eye focused on him; the brunette sniper force all his might not o flinch under the metal gaze.

"Is everything alright Irvine?"

Irvine forced a cool calm appearance to his features and nodded, knowing that his voice would betray him.

"Excellent. Now go, don't fail me."

Seishiro nodded briefly then strode out the room, his black trench coat flared behind him, with the lanky brunette not far behind.

Muraki's voice echoed in his ears.

`…don't fail me…' he shivered.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

He didn't see, not even sense it but felt it as he propelled towards a tree, scythe tossed carelessly away from him.

Then Aya was there carrying an enraged look in his violet eyes, slashing and hacking at the creature that threw him off course. The red head god unleashed a chi blast and the air was filled with pain filled shrieks as the monster died.

Seto pushed himself up calling his scythe to his hand then stopped.

A chilly wind whistled through the forest and a sense of dread settled in his stomach, the forest around suddenly looked darker and malicious then before as a dark mist slowly crept around them.

Aya's aura flared brighter and more definite, like a star among the black night.

Suddenly an evil laughter drifted into the place.

"Look how the Kitty has claws."

Aya's violet eyes narrowed sharply as he raised his already glowing Katana.

"Show yourselves."

Seifer Almasy stepped into plain view; his ebon-stone gunblade rested on one shoulder, followed by his mousey haired companion a couple of meters away from him.

"Seifer…what do you want." The brunette haired god snarled angrily as his weapon flared with a sudden burst of power. Seifer's artic eyes clashed against Seto's own icy blue, with a smirk on his lips.

"What's the rush Kaiba-boy, the party hasn't started." With that the blonde sent a wave of black energy towards the unsuspecting god, taking that as a signal, Squall brought Lion Heart towards Aya using the black energies around him to enhance his speed.

Seto nearly doubled over as the wave of power washed over him, a feral snarl erupted on his lips, eyes flashing with rage.

"Is that all you've got mutt?" He dash towards the smirking blonde and brought down his scythe, but only to be intercepted with the ebon-stone gunblade. The clang of the weapons echoed through the forest killing the dreaded silence.

"Let's dance."

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Kaede's eyes snapped open at the sudden sound, his heart leaped to his throat.

"They're over there!" he looked over to his companion to find him already heading towards the source of the noise. Yet there was a dreaded feeling in his stomach that something is wrong. Terribly wrong.

A sudden snap of twig made the angel spun around igniting his powers; his sky-blue eyes searching frantically for the source of the noise.

Finding nothing out of place still did not quench the sickening feeling in his stomach.

`Kaede get yourself together this isn't the time to play chicken!' he scolded himself as he made his feet move a step forward towards the bushes, as a voice inside his head screamed for him to turn back around and join the others.

Swallowing his fear he ventured closer, then he realised his mistake.

It was behind him.

All of a sudden everything happened at once; Kaede swivelled around eyes glowing and flung a power blot at his opponent, his sky-blue eyes met feral golden as the enemy's blade plunged into his chest.

Kaede gasped in surprised as blood poured from his lips as the white haired demon yanked his bloodied knife from him, letting his body collapse onto the forest floor.

*…NATAKU!!!* the Angel of sight screamed out telepathically in warning as the darkness reclaimed him.

There should be more coming…soon…I hope -_-

Ja~
