Angel With Broken Wings

90 - Mash Burnedead, Kat Ride and the Tall Tower (3)

[THIRD PERSON POV]

Meanwhile, Cell War continued to stare at Mash with an expression of disdain, the blonde villain attempting to remain calm as a question slips past his lips, "Don't tell me...you forgot about me?" Anger was laced in his tone as he watched the black haired teen flicker his gaze back and forth, Mash's expression turning apologetic as he responds slowly, "I'm so sorry."

Two people on their brooms were rushing towards the scene of the exam, Ryoh Grantz going quickly while Nerey follows behind, the boy quickly inquiring, "Just what is the relationship between Mr. Wahlberg and Innocent Zero?" Ryoh hesitated for a moment before he answered, the Visionary's expression grim as he spoke up,

"Society as we know it was built up by one great magic user...the architect of what would become the Divine Visionary. His power was, in a word, divine. His name was Adam. In life, there was none who could stand up to his dark magic. Wahlberg and Innocent Zero were Adam's strongest pupils." Nerey couldn't help the fear that went up his spine, the boy panicking as he cried out,

"Doesn't that mean they're equals in power?!" He was growing worried as he spoke, Ryoh's response not helping the boy as the words reach his ears, "Yes, if they launched an assault knowing that, they've got an ace up their sleeve..." Ryoh wasn't thrilled as his thoughts continue on in his concern, his expression tense as he continued to fly, 'If Wahlberg loses this confrontation...'

In the midst of all the chaos below, Wahlberg and Innocent Zero face each other in a tense silence, Innocent Zero speaking up first, "Are you as happy to see me...as I am to see you?" His tone was mocking as he removed his hood, Wahlberg staring in shock at the lack of face revealed before him. "My word..."

He heard a scoff coming from in front of him as Innocent Zero spoke again, "Now that's not nice. You look upon your old friend as if I'm some kind of monster." He let out a sigh as he moved a hand in front of him, his head contorting like a puzzle as he spoke cruelly, "How about this? Would you still call me a friend...if I looked like this?"

Wahlberg's expression was one of utter shock and rage as Innocent Zero's face returns, eyes red and silver hair long with a wicked smile stretched across his face. "You...you've abandoned your humanity." Wahlberg could barely speak out the words that slipped past his lips, his eyes continuing to shake as his former friend spoke once more,

"I'm more human than anyone, I have very human desires. There's no limit to my greed. Why, today...I expect to bring Mash Burnedead, Kat Ride and Gazzy Ride back...and also to kill you, Wahlberg." His gaze turned cold with those last few words, Wahlberg's own gaze narrowing as Innocent Zero casts out a spell, "Timez - The Living Dead!"

The magic cast forms a gigantic and ominous clock, a coffin appearing in front of it wrapped in chains with a golden cross on the coffin lid, two black objects hanging by the sides of the coffin with holes poked all throughout it. Wahlberg couldn't help the shock that coursed through his veins, eyes wide and mind chaotic as he watched the magic carefully, 'This spell...is forbidden!'

Back to Mash and Cell War, the latter was still angered by the fact of the black haired teen before him forgetting who he was, the blonde speaking slowly, "You actually...forgot who I am?" He kept repeating the question in disbelief, Mash glancing away slightly as the head of the male before him was a creampuff with a thorn crown atop it, the creampuff continuing to speak, "Answer me! Hey!"

The creampuff continued to grow angry as it spoke, Mash remaining blank in expression as he hears, "You're dead. I'll kill you!" Mash manages to jump out of the way as spell comes at him, a carbon ball of spikes slamming down where he once stood and causing him to remember the attack as Cell War speaks up, his mood turning to one of glee, "You remembered that at least."
