As we start to leave, I see a bullet fly past my face. I quickly spin around and summon my sword. I see several DHC agents in the crowd with guns drawn. As I hear a slight laugh. I see a man with a long red and black jacket walk out. "Oh Kai and Anix, why did I know you'd show up here?" He asks sarcastically as he suddenly appears in front of me and punches me in the stomach. I feel a tingly feeling as I feel blood run down from my lip. As I look down I see he punched clean through me. As he pulls he arms out of the hole in my stomach, I feel my body go numb. "I've learned all about demons. Did you know if you kill a demon before they enter their 1st release, they can die from simple means?" He asks as I see him block the attacks of Anix and Sakara without even trying. "Codename Starfall. You showing up here truly makes me wonder what's happening." The man says as I see black energy start flowing around Azoria's feet. "You're a level 9 threat in that form alone. We were hoping to catch that woman that just teleported away, because she is something special." The man says as red energy forms around his feet. "So starfall, are we going to fight? What I can only assume to be a general against a demon king fight?" The man says as I see him summon 50 swords in the air around him. "My name is General Jirax, and I will bring down all of you demon scum." He says as he snaps and knocks Anix and Sakara to the far walls of the room. Jirax floats off the ground as Azoria grows long black claws. "Jirax? I really hate fighting." Azoria says as he lowers his head. Jirax suddenly impales Azoria with all 50 swords. "Why starfall? Because you know you can't win?" Jirax says sarcastically. "Azoria!" I yell as I quickly call forth the energy of my angel. As my power rushes forth, I see Azoria look at me. "So, I was right." I hear him mumble as he looks toward Jirax. "What's wrong, at deaths door? Going to beg for mercy?" Jirax asks as suddenly Azoria speaks up. "Begone." He says as Jirax suddenly turns to dust and blows away. All the swords stuck in Azoria suddenly turn to dust and blow away as well. I see Azoria's clothes repair themselves instantly. He quickly walks over to me and touches my forehead. "Kai, I've had a hunch about you. I've actually been living here since the fall of Silvia. I've been watching you, and today all my suspicions were answered. At this range, I felt her. We can't talk here." Azoria says as he snaps. All the DHC agents suddenly turn to dust and blow away. One second later me and Azoria are alone and floating in a void. "Kai, time to tell you the truth. As Silvia was the ruler of this plane of existence, I was the ruler over my own plane. It now ceases to exist but I still hold as much power as The Scarlet Angel of this realm, but they are all powerful here. I could not possibly beat one. But you, you can. That angel inside you isn't from this plane of existence. Or any for that matter." He says as suddenly my angel appears besides me. "Eclipse." He mumbles as they stare at each other. "Who are you?" She asks as he sighs. "Yea, figures you wouldn't remember. But overall, that's not important. What's important is she's alive, meaning there's hope. She's something else. Not technically a demon or angel. She's more of a paragon; or an even better explanation is that she came before anyone else. Whatever created us, the chief beings of our own planes, made her first." He says as I stare at him. "So you're telling me that her name is eclipse? And that she's older than any other being?" I ask ask while pointing at my angel. Azoria nods and touches my shoulder. "Kai, Ragnarok was also created by the same thing that created the Eclipse Angel. They were meant to counter each other. I know this because she protected my realm from Ragnarok once. It's very likely that he's coming for her." Azoria says as I look at my angel. "I still don't remember any of this. I only have memories since I've been with Kai." She says as Azoria sighs. "We need to retrain you to use your powers." He says as she quickly interrupts him. "I don't have a true physical form. I can't fight. I can only give Kai my energy to fight." She says as he stares at her. I see him turn around for a moment and go quiet. "I'm not sure how you lost your true form, but we need to somehow get you another physical form." He says as he looks back towards me. She steps in front of me. "I live within Kai, helping him fight for this universe." She says as Azoria glares at me. "But how strong is he really? To think he could barely even fight Silvia on his own. Ragnarok is stronger than Silvia!" He yells as I take a step back. Suddenly he pops his neck and summons a scythe. "Alright, I'll put you 2 to the test. I fought you when you were in your true form, Eclipse. Let's see if you and another person are stronger than your true form." He says as I feel her energy flow through me." We can do this. I think as I hear eclipses voice in my mind. "Definitely. If I'm as strong as he says I am, then I'm going to give you enough energy to completely stomp him." She says as Azoria smiles. "Are you ready Kai?" He asks as I nod. As I blink, I see the blade of his scythe inches from my face.
