The Dark Hour

--------Ridge--------

I saw everyone running around fighting each other and I just struggled to stay with Lalna. We found an open area and we quickly ducked inside.

"It's crowded out there," Lalna smiled. I smiled back at him.

"Yeah, it is."

"Well looks like I didn't have to wait long." A male's voice laughed. I pushed Lalna behind me and pulled out my sword.

"Hmm, I'm surprised that you know how to use that. You know it's not a toy right." Dean said laughing.

"I know that."

"Well if you're not scared to use it them fight me." Lalna grabbed my hand and I glanced back at him. "Well I guess you don't have the guts to fight me. What a waste of time."

"It's not that I'm scared, I'm just not as stupid as you think I am," I said firmly.

"I never called you stupid."

"Ridge, we should go," Lalna insisted.

"Leaving so soon." He said cocky. I kept my eyes on Dean as Lalna slowly pulled me closer to the door.

"Maybe, you got a problem with that?"

"Well I'm suppose to take care of you guys so yeah I have a problem with you leaving. We could use you to get Astrid here." He flipped his hand and the doors locked.

"She doesn't even know we're here," I called out a bit panickedly.

"No but when she does she will coming running-" He was cut off by someone else walking in the room.

"Specially if I'm here with you guys, I mean I did kill Axel I'm sure she's on her way here now."

"You what!?" I yelled. Lalna grabbed my arm and I gritted my teeth.

"Oh you know just a little stab here and a little stab there." The guy sighed. "That's right you don't know me, I'm Sabbath."

"Ok, we still don't know you," I said slightly confused.

"I don't have time to explain Astrid will be here any minute and I will deal with her like I dealt with her little boyfriend." I was going to say something when the door started shaking. "And here she is." Sabbath snapped his fingers and the doors unlocked. It wasn't Astrid.

"Seto?" I asked shocked. "But how-"

"I got your message," He smiled.

"You little shit!" Dean yelled. I thought Dean was going to attack Seto, and I almost didn't see him coming at me until Lalna pulled me down. He swung his sword at me again and I managed to catch his sword with mine. I shoved him back and I quickly got up. "So now you want to fight?"

"What? You attacked me! What else am I supposed to do?"

"Well you caught onto my bluff quickly I guess you are somewhat smart." I gritted my teeth. He charged at me again and I stepped to the left and he flew past me. He quickly stopped and turned around and swung at me. I barely caught his blade this time. He shoved me back and I dropped my sword. I grabbed it but he was already swinging his sword at me again.

"Ridge!" Lalna crashed into Dean and I managed to duck so the sword's blade missed me.

"Well this is going to be fun." He turned towards Lalna and my eyes widened.

"NO!!" I heard my own voice scream before the blade even touched him. I watched as he fell to the ground, the feathers on his bright white wings turning a dark crimson. I ran as fast as I could to him and I slid on my knees under Dean's sword over to him. I tried to block as much of him from Dean as possible and I glanced up to see Dean raise his sword. Before I could even shut my eyes Dean's sword clashed against another sword. I looked up and sighed in relief, Seto. He shoved Dean back and quickly got into a defensive stance. I didn't watch as they fought, I was busy.
