I woke up still in the gas station lot. "Oh shit" I said rubbing my head, "Skylar!" I rolled up and ran to the door only to find a note that read "I Have her. Meet me at the Empire State building. ALONE!" I ran to an alley way and pulled out a change of cloths Dark skinny jeans a red V-neck and Converse. As I unfolded the shirt a mask fell out, it was a black cloth mask with a skeletal grin and eye holes. I put it on strapping Arketa to my back I ran to find Skylar. I flew atop the building my sword ready. I hardly had time to bandage my wounds on the way here but I was determined to get her back even if it killed me. "I'm here!" I yelled loudly "Come out you coward!" I was struck by a bolt of lighting knocking me down, soon a figure stood over me. "Hello Nathan" the man smiled coldy, "Glad you could stop by I'm Gadreel and I believe you have something I want". I stood back up "I've got nothing for you!" I said running at him sword drawn. "Fine" He sighed his sword appearing it was a 5 foot long Stygian iron sword easliy bigger then mine. Our sword clashed and sparks flew, as we fought a storm began. Lighting flashed knocking peices of building off. "You can't win" He yelled over the sounds of the wind. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you Gadreel if you hurt her!" I retorted my body still broken from the fight with the Arai. I slipped up and he stabbed me in the stomach. Gasping for air I looked at him, he smiled again before knocking me off the roof. As i fell I swear I saw my dad, reaching out I touched him and my wounds healed my wings expanded and I shot back up. Black lighting crackled around me, My purple eyes glowed with hate. "I'm not dead yet you son of a bitch" I spat. "Very well" He said charging at me. I side-stepped his blade easily and drew a second a sword "Blackout" I said before slicing his side. Gadreel fell clutching his side but as soon he fell he healed. "I have a healing factor as well" He laughed before the began again. Blackout and Arketa became an arc of defense against this man but soon I realized he was beginng to tire. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I yelled blasting him with black energy. He dropped his sword falling he began coughing up blood and teeth. "Where is she?" I asked picking him up by the throat. "WHERE. IS SHE?" I yelled hitting him in the mouth before he finally told me she was on the 4th floor. I picked up his sword and ran it through his chest. As he fell choking for air I kicked him off the side of the building and flew down to meet Skylar.
