Kagame looking up at the sky, the sky being red as blood. Alyson stands by him and looks up as well, she wraps her arms around Kagame's. Thunder rumbles in the distance, Kagame's face turned blue. "What's with all this damn thunder?" Lisa asked, "I don't know but I don't like it one bit" Alyson said. "Why it is the beginning of my apocalypse my dear children" Lucifer said while leaning on a wall. Kagame unleashes his chains, Lucifer shrugs it off and looks at Kagame. "Kid, if your friend couldn't beat me, what makes you think you can?" Lucifer said with a grin. "What are you talking about?" Alyson asked, "Tashiro... Is dead folks," Lucifer stated. Lisa's felt like her insides had turned. "Impossible, he wouldn't..." "Well I'm sure because I took the blade out of him" Lucifer interrupted Lisa. Kagame becoming angry and charging Lucifer with a sword. Lucifer kicking Kagame to the side, "get lost and live until my apocalypse" he said. Lucifer disappears into the air. Lightning shoots down at the town and begins to destroy buildings. Kagame and Alyson unleash their wings and fly off, Lisa sits in the hideout thinking of Tashiro. "Nice to meet you, my name is Kagame," the voices echoed in Tashiro's head as it got darker and darker. "My name is Lisa" another echo. Tashiro seeing a flashback to his past. Alyson on the floor and Tashiro sees himself holding a man by the throat. "Hey! Let him go!" Tashiro shouted as he walked to the masked figure. The masked figure turned to him and growls. Tashiro falls back to see the masked person being himself when he loses control. "You can't even protect your friends, what a pitiful piece of shit you are" the possessed version said. Lisa appears behind Tashiro and kicks him. Tashiro turns to Lisa, " I died, all because you wanted to be weak," she said in a high tone voice. "I'm sorry," Tashiro said, "sorry isn't going to bring me back!" Alyson shouted as she got up from the grave. Tashiro grips his head with both hands, "shut up shut up shut up!" He rocked back and forth. "How did you think it was going to play off? You join the evil side to what? Get stronger and protect us?" Kagame said while behind him. Tashiro crying and shouting "I tried I tried shut up shut up!" He yelled loudly as his voice echoed and the darkness faded. "Get up Tashiro, what's with the tears," a voice said, Tashiro looked up to see the angel version of himself. Tashiro got up and walked to the Angel. The Angel slamming Tashiro back making him roll backwards and at the edge of the circular platform they were on. Tashiro gets up and looks around, the platform they were on was surrounded by black fire. The Angel floats down to him picking him up and casting him to the floor. Tashiro grunts in pain, "you let yourself get eaten by darkness" the Angel said. Tashiro gets up, "I couldn't help it," Tashiro said, the Angel forms a blade from his chains. Tashiro unleashes his chains and forms a sword. They collide their blades as the fire around them roars. Each time they collide echoes of his friend's voices bounce through the fires. "Glad to see you're okay" "I doubt it but I think Lisa recognized you" "Tashiro?" "Tashiro" "Tashiro" the echoes stopped as he dropped his sword. The Angel takes his blade out of Tashiro. "You died because you are weak, and you always will be" the Angel said. Tashiro goes deep into his darkness in his mind. The Angel walking off, "wait...." Tashiro mumbled. The Angel turns to him, "just die already!" He shouted as he charged, Tashiro drops his blade and opens his arms. The Angel stabbed Tashiro through the chest and is being hugged by Tashiro. Tashiro spitting a bit of blood on the angel's shoulder as he hugged him. "You finally get it," the Angel said, Tashiro looks into the air as he rests his chin on the angel's shoulder. "You were so caught up with your demon side that you believed that was going to make you strong." The Angel said as his body was beginning to turn into light pieces. "You forgot you were an Angel, with our power you can achieve so much, but you tried to discard it" he said. "I'm sorry," Tashiro said, the Angel beginning to fade into the air and flow into Tashiro. "You may be a demon, but don't forget you are an angel too, with those two powers you are stronger" the angel's voice echoed as the fires died down. Tashiro gets up out of the pool of his blood. Tashiro walks out the exit, "here I come... Kagame, Alyson, Lisa!!!" He shouted as he spread his wings and flew off.
