Chapter 2: Revenge Of Starr

Skye stood firm, staring at a demon which used to be the leader of a gang called The Ones of Blood. But he and Starr had killed all the members, and now this leader was what was left. The demon lifted its head back and smiled.

"Ready to die, humans?" The demon said, smiling.

"As ready as we'll ever be." Starr growled, getting into a fighting stance.

"Come on and try us." Skye spat at the demon, getting into his own fighting stance. "Bastard…" He added.

"You will pay for that human!" The demon screamed, veins popping, lunging at the two young humans. He took a large single swipe at both of them, but Skye jumped up and to the left, and Starr jumped up and to the right. Skye slammed a kick into the side of the demon's large head while Starr did the same to the demon's head's other side.

Before Skye dropped, though, he managed to grab a purple scale of the hideous demon. The demon cried from the sting of the scale being ripped off, but before he could round on Skye, Starr ran up and gave him a kick in the shin. Degrading, yes, but that gave Skye and chance to jump onto the demon's back from behind and wrap his arms around the thing's neck. He thrust the scale into the demon's right eye, making it spurt blood everywhere.

The demon screamed in pain and spun and ran around in a frenzy. He shrieked in pain again and grabbed behind his neck, digging his claws into Skye's sides. Skye shouted in pain, and yanked at the demon's hair. The demon yelled and pulled Skye off of him, pulling out some of his own hair as well. He shouted in anger and pain, and with incredible strength, threw Skye against a tree close by. The tree snapped when Skye hit it, and Skye was lost in a bramble of wood, branches and leaves.

"Skye!" Starr shouted, seeing his body get lost in the mess of tree. "You… you horrible monster you!"

"Heh… heh… heh…. That was nothing you worthless human…." The Demon chuckled with a sneer. He suddenly lunged at Starr in a blur, hitting her side and throwing her into the bramble of branches Skye was lost in.

When Starr regained her senses, she pushed and tore through the branches until she saw him…

"Oh my god… Skye….." She whispered, feeling her stomach drop and the blood rush out of her face. She had found Skye…. Along with a long, thin tree branch poking out of his abdomen. The part of the branch Starr could see was wet and sticky with dark red blood. His face was sweaty and his eyes were squinted in pain. His arms were draped over two side branches, the ones that supported his back; he was in between the crick where two branches split, but a third had formed, that one was the one through his stomach.

Starr crawled over to him and reached her hand out to the branch. Once she touched its rough surface, the sticky liquid on it stuck to her hands and ran into her palms. She felt herself ready to retch, but a soft groaning stopped her. She looked up, seeing Skye try to move, clenching his teeth to a cracking point.

"Oh my god… Skye…. How….?" Starr stuttered.

"Starr… I…Erg…. I… Argh…. Starr… oh….. It hurts… please…. Oooooooh…." Skye moaned. More blood pulsed out of his body and he became even paler. "Starr…. I just…. Wanted…. To say…." Skye never got to finish what he was about to say, because his head suddenly dropped, his brain had then stopped working, his body losing too much blood.

"Skye…. Skye??? Skye???" Starr whispered, tears coming to her eyes. I didn't matter that she had just met Skye. Witnessing someone take their last breath was not a happy site. Starr felt a tear roll down her cheek. A hot fire rose in her chest, and fury so horrible enveloped her heart. She never remembered feeling this way. The anger built up, and she felt her vision turn red, and an energy aura appeared around her.

Suddenly, Starr's memories came flooding back in a horrible assault. She remembered when she had done this before. And how many she had killed. Her untrained power lead to destruction. She tried to suppress her power, but it engulfed her. And all control left her being as her anger over powered her.

"You… You demon…." Starr said in a deep, dark voice, a little unlike her own, rising into the air above the bramble of branches. "You will pay for all that you have done…" She growled. Her eyes pulsed red, black hair flying around in a frenzy.

"W-what's this?" The demon growled, taking a step back. He thought the girl had been killed. He smiled, glad that he had some more fun to do. He took a step forward, but Starr shot out from her floating position. She screamed in rage, flying at light speed from above the tree to the demon. Before the demon could react, he suddenly felt something in his chest. He looked down in horror to see Starr's fist embedded in his chest, scales and all. His own blue blood dripped down his body along with Starr's own red blood, from the scales cutting into her hand. She smiled insanely, and drew out her hand, causing the demon to cry out in pain. She dropped to the ground and took a swift kick to demon's knees, completely amputating the thing's legs below the knees.

"This is how you will pay, my dear, horrible demon." Starr whispered, voice dripping with evil. The demon screamed in pain, staring at his knees, and then his legs, sitting a few feet away, still pulsing blood out onto the grass, making is steam from the acid in the demon's blood.

The steam rose up in deep purple smoke around Starr, slowly enveloping her in the gas, hiding her from view. She chuckled evilly, floating a few inches off the ground and sat in midair, smiling at the demon. She enjoyed seeing the demon's fear and he frantically looked around for Starr while crying and weeping in pain from his amputated legs.

Starr was finally fed up with hearing the demon cry, and she jumped up into the air and raised her arm. She chanted some in audible words and a shiny silver sword appeared in her hand, its hilt glittering with emeralds and black gems. She smirked and swooped down upon the demon, sliding past him, leaving a slash of light behind her. And in a few seconds, she could hear the screams of the demon and the hiss of acid hitting the grass. A soft thud confirmed her pleasure as she turned to see her work. The demon's right arm sat twitching on the ground, pulsing blood, making it spill out into the ground already wet with blood. The steam hissed and bubbled beside the screaming demon, mixing in with the other steam from his legs.

"This is too easy…" Starr growled evilly. But her victory was lived too short, as the demon had thrown himself toward her, ripping her back to shreds. "ARRRRRRGH!!!!" Starr screamed in pain, jumping away and glaring at the demon.

"Heh heh heh…" The demon chuckled, but still cringing in pain. He laughed at the girl. "You are the weak one. You are weaker than your dead friend. He was nothing. You are nothing. You know you are nothing, because you cried for him. I could feel his body slide onto the branch….. His insides spurting blood…. His scream of pain….." But the demon had suddenly stopped. Starr had heard enough. She crouched over, immense anger filling her. She dropped the sword, her anger too overpowering to actually be able to use the sword. She felt power rising… such power…. She had never felt this before… This anger…. So much anger… such power….. She felt her aura of power around her intensify, and her hair fly up in a frenzy again. She screamed in rage and stood up, a few stones and pebbles around her rising from her aura of power. She felt her power rise more and she stared at the demon. He was sitting there laughing at her. She screamed in rage, and felt things around her start to float around her frantically. She last saw the demon, suddenly looking scared, seeing her figure float up into the air, screaming. And as her power rose, she felt something else rise to… or rather, she sensed it… Skye's body had detacthed itself from the tree, and was now floating by the tree, a gaping hole visible from far away. A golden aura surrounded him, and Starr felt her power file into him, but felt no ki back from his body. And suddenly, she let go… let go of her power… losing all senses in the process. Just falling into darkness……

Darkness….

~~~~~Chapter Ending~~~~~

Mazoo: Oooooh… somewhat of a cliffhanger, but better than before. Hope the fight scenes made up for the melodramatic ending in the last chapter. Sorry about that! Well, how do you like that? Well then… what will happen now?
