Inferno:

Amiamon and Rin sat together eating lunch after training in the forest clearing. "Your skills are improving " Amiamon told Rin. "You really think so?" Rin asked. "Ye.." Amiamon heard something coming at them. He grabbed Rin and through him across the clearing. A bomb exploded right next to him. It had been full of concentrated holy water.  It seared into his skin. He almost lost consciousness. An exorcist rushed him. A metal collar was clasped around his neck. His strength was instantly gone. The band around his neck had sealed away his power. "Grab him quickly, " the man said. Two more exorcists came forward. They bound and gaged him.
A deep growl reverberated across the clearing "Let. him. go!" Rin said, anger laced though his voice. A shot was fired hitting Rin in his side. Pain seared through him. He dropped to his knees. Black veins circled the wound. Flame appeared as if it was leaking from the wound. The man with the gun came forward. It was the paladin Angel. With a choked breath Rin simply asked "why?" With righteous conviction he replied "die Satan spawn". The next shot hit him directly in the chest, knocking him to the ground. He rolled on his side and coughed out blood.
Black spots danced across his vision. As he lay there, he saw Amiamon, a king, tied and sealed. The one who has trained and taught him for the last six months. The one who pushed him to his limits. Showed him what he was capable of. Made him proud of what he is. He is prideful, strong and fierce. Amiamon had protected him. He should have attacked, but he stood there. Giving them time to shoot. The exorcists began to drag Amiamon away. Anger filled him. He could not let it end like this.
Like water through a sieve, flames began to pour into him from the sword on his back. Rin felt his wounds heal but the flames continued to pour. Filling his entire being. As if He was being consumed by his own flames. He screamed. "What's happening?" one of The Exorcists asked. The air around them had become hot, hard to breath. Amiamon continued to struggle. The paladin hit him across the head, knocking him unconscious.   "Run" The air around them seemed to vibrate as they ran. The trees swayed violently. Branches fell around them. The heat continued to rise. They made it to the shed they had come through. For a moment everything stopped. An unnatural Stillness. Angel put his key in the lock and turned. "Go, don't look back" they hurried through the door, taking Amiamon with them.
Rins screams continued to fill the air. He felt like his mind was unraveling. Power followed into him like an unending wave. He tried to fight it, but couldn’t. He didn't want to. Suddenly everything stopped. Rin took a deep breath. He looked down and saw his sword on the ground. He had made up his mind, It was time to let it go. The sword shattered like broken glass. Blue Fire exploded from him. It shot up in the sky like a flaming pillar of hope. He screamed as he burned. But he didn't fight it. This was his power. He would reclaim it. Then he disappeared into the inferno.
