Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oops." he said as he pput his hand up to his lips like a child that had done something bad. "I guess I hit your soft spot..." he said as he kicked Takiko's body away from him. "Now its his turn..." he said and pointed to Cyrus.

Cyrus' eyelids fluttered. He never opened his eyes. "b...l...o...o...d.." he managed to say through delicate breathing. "I n-need yo-your bl-ood ba...by..." he said to Xhel.

"Ooo. Loverboy's awake. All the better..." Shizakien smiled.

((ya slayer, go away for now please))

xhel released a kunai powered by her own psycic blast. it cut shizakien's pants right below where it would REALLY hurt. she glared at him and cut her wrist open so the blood could escape, she had seen the one who turned her do this once. she set her wrist by cyrus' mouth.
"drink up baby" she said as she continued to look at shizakien.

((sorry karee but he might as well use mine, i already slit my wrist so im losing the blood anyway))

Shizakien looked down and then loked up at Xhel. "I always did like the rough ones." he said and laughed.
Then something awful happened. Bones were heard snapping, skin and clothes tearing. There stood Shizakien...his true form...the Dark Lord. There was a glint of bluish purple in his chest.

Cyrus eagerly drank Xhel's blood, maybe getting a little carried away. He drank enough to make her pass out for a minute, if she did he wasn't to know because he stood up and faced Shizakien as his wounds healed. "You look like s**t!" he said and ran at Shizakien, his eyes a fierce blue and his claws and fangs longer then ever.

He ran at him full speed and threw a punch at him.

Shizakien swung his fist at the same time and felt a connection.

The loud splintering of bone was heard and Cyrus' right arm fell completley usless at his side. But he kept going at him. He dodged Shizakiens punches and jumped over a lightning bolt. When he saw an opening he took it. He reached up and buried his claws in Shizkiens chest around the crystalline object. "See you later ********> He kicked Shizakien with his right leg...hard. Shizakien's body flew backwards, however, the crystal didn't . It stayed in Cyrus' hand.

"NOOOOOO!!!!"Shizakien yelled as he smashed into the wall. His body shrank and withered into a corpse beyond recognition.

Cyrus looked back at Xhel. "That was easy..." he said and then he got launched back into the wall next to Xhel. He stood up and looked at the crystal. It started spinning in a cyclone manner and started sucking objects into it. Cyrus grabbed Xhel and put her behind a post so that she wouldn't get sucked in. The crystal sucked in the couch and TV and started ripping the walls up. Everytime something touched the crystal, it dissappeared in a bright purple flash and was never seen again. Cyrus had an idea. He grabbed Xhel's shoulders. "I love you..." he whispered and kissed her, one last time.
He ran out from behind the post, shot out his wings and then flew straight at the crystal, both his flight and the vortex moving him in towards it.
He grabbed the crystal with both hands and it suddenly stopped spinning. There was the brightest purple flash of all and Cyrus was gone...

After the smoke and flash cleared, the crystal could be seen again. It had stopped spinning and had landed on the ground with a clink. It shattered without expectation and the vortex stopped.

Cyrus had given his life for Xhel...just as he had promised her...

xhel did in fact pass out for a short while. when he moved her behind the post she had awaken in time to see cyrus jump for the crystal.
"nooooo!!!!!!!" she screamed when cy had dissapeared. she had lost the one man whom she had loved in her life. tears rolled down her face as she sat there, stone cold from fear of losing her lover. she tried to cry out for anyone to hear her but no sound escaped her lips, her energy had been used in the fight and from her giving her blood for cyrus. she lay there, her face buried in her hands as she cried. her heart was broken to pieces like a mirror fallen to the floor. her life would never be good again without her lover.

xhel felt a strange presense standing over her, so she looked to it's source. what she saw confounded her.
"y...yuki??! but you're.." she pointed to yuki's body far away on the ground.
"i saw you....he snapped...how???" she babbled.

xhel stood to her feet and threw her arms around yuki, still crying in anguish. "why.....why did this have to happen???first azriel....then you....and now cy....everyone i know and love are dying around me...i...i" she said dumbfounded and in emotional pain.
