The Shadow Fall

Chapter 9: The start to the beginning

Sean wakes up lying on the floor. He's in his old house on earth. "Why am I here?" said Sean. A loud thud comes from upstairs. "What was that?" said Sean. Sean runs up the stairs. He sees his sister and mother in the corner of his sisters room. "Annabel! Mom what's wrong?!" said Sean. "Don't come in here please!" said Sean's mother. Sean rushes into the room and a dark figure appears from the darkness of the room. Sean's mother pushes Sean out of the way. "Father? Why did you do that?" asked Sean. Sean looks at his mother. Sean has blood on his face and on his hands. "Mom. Mom come on wake up" Sean says. Sean starts to cry because he realizes that his mother is dead. His father steps towards Annabel. "You stay away from her you monster!" said Sean. Sean gets up and tackles his father. His father throws him off and slashes at his sister. Annabel is seriously injured. Sean gets up and punches his father in the face. "Is that all you have? You are too weak. You will not make it far in this world" said Sean's father. Sean's father stabs Sean in the shoulder. Sean falls to the floor. "I should finish you and your sister off here. You both are too weak. You are nothing but wastes of space" said Sean's father. The police surround the building and kick down the door and shoot Sean's father. The commissioner walks through the door. "Sean..are you ok?".

"Sean...Sean? Are you ok?" said Yuuki. "Annabel? Annabel?" said Sean. "Who's Annabel Sean?" asked Yuuki with jealousy. "Ah Yuuki, sorry. I had a nightmare" replied Sean. Sean gets up. "Well it looks like we have some more training to do Sean" said Zara. "Yeah I guess we do. I can't stand to be weak and not be able to save anyone" replied Sean. "Don't worry I'll get you to that level. For Annabel's sake right?" said Zara. "How..wait never mind" replied Sean. "She's doing fine. Don't worry. Maybe when we clear this Vampire business up we can all visits her" said Zara. "I would love to see her again" replied Sean. "So who's Annabel?" asked Yuuki. "She's my little sister. She's 3 years younger than me" replied Sean. "Let's get to training than Sean" said Zara.

Sean and Zara are in the mock battle gym once more for training. "So I've seen you activated Holy Drive with your Darkness Armor and you used your blooddrive over drive extremely well also. I'm very impressed. Now do me a favor activate your blooddrive overdrive and fight me with all you have" said Zara. Darkness surrounds Sean's body and out of darkness armor appears. Blood flows down Sean's arms and legs. Sean summons Reaper from of the darkness. "Come forth Reaper" said Sean. Sean launches his first attack and Zara summons his holy armor. Sean jumps back to avoid being hit with the holy lighting. Sean jumps towards God again and tries to strike him. God catches Sean by the Sword. "You still need more practice" said God. God breaks Reaper and kicks Sean back. God summons the holy Sword Excalibur of judgement. God slashes the air causing a beam of light to hit Sean. Sean gets back up but God holds the sword at Sean. "You have some work to do. Don't worry I'll help you" said God.

Sean and God take a break. "So you know why I gave you the Heavenly Armor and Holy Drive also?" said God. "Not really, why would you ask me anyways? I'm not God" replied Sean. "Hahaha haha that's true. I give you that armor so you have a fighting chance against Michael. He's been getting out of hand recently. It seems Eve has been pushing his limit. Eve is on earth. She operates actually were you used to live. You eventually have to go up there and get your revenge. Along with form the club so you have some kind of back up. It'll be a tough battle but I know you can do it" said God. "Thanks for that all. I'll try to get peace to happen. I'll make Eve and her angels pay for what they did to me. I'll train to be the best. To protect everyone I care about. I won't let anyone down anymore. That's my mission" said Sean. "Alright I like that attitude, let's get back to training" replied God.

Sean activates his darkness armor and blooddrive over drive. "You do know you could just start blooddrive over drive from the start?" said God. "Oh, well. Um. That's good to know now" replied Sean. "Just activate it like you do after you have the darkness armor on" said God. Sean summons his sword Reaper. From the darkness a dark hilt with a silvery steak blade appears. A skull lays on the middle of the hilt. "Come forth Reaper" said Sean. "Alright I'll teach you slash, 100 slashes is punishment, and Dark Hole" said God. "Alright" said Sean. "For slash just slash the air at the direction you want the beam to go" said God. Sean slashes the air towards the practice dummy. A dark beam comes out of his sword and cuts the dummy in half. "Good job. Now 100 slashes of punishment. Do that but focus on the sword and gather power. After that start swinging" said God. Sean channels his inner energy and a dark flame appears on Reaper. Sean runs towards the dummy and slashes at him 100 times and jumps back. The dummy burns to ash and the ground around the dummy his cut. With every cut there is a dark flame left there. "Wonderful job. Now for Dark Hole. This is to used very rarely. It takes a little bit to charge up. Cut your hand on your blade and rub your blood on the blade. After that channel your power and start to slash" said God. "Um my blood? Alright" said Sean. Sean cuts his hand on his blade and spreads his blood on Reaper. Sean gets into his attack stance and channels his energy. He slashes at the dummy. A giant vortex of darkness comes out of Reaper. The vortex swallow the dummy and the ground near it. The walls near the area are cut into pieces and then God controls it. "Divine reduction" said God. "Wonderful work Sean, also you can use Divine reduction by picturing the attack or person and breathing in slowly" said God. "Good to know. I think I had enough training for today. I'll catch you later" said Sean.

Sean in the shower. A shadow slowly creeps up on him. Aqua opens the door and jumps on Sean. "Hello my slave. Allow me to wash your back for you" said Aqua. Aqua presses her bear breasts on Sean's back. "Um um um. I couldn't possibly turn down a wonderful offer. So please continue" said Sean. Sean starts to get a nose bleed until Aqua says, "what's this scar on your shoulder?". Sean replies, "that's from a battle I lost and almost lost something I care so much about. No not boobies. Something much more important". "Ah, well if you ever wanna talk I'm here for you" said Aqua. Aqua and Sean finish up in the shower. Sean heads back to his room.

"Hey Sean, back from training already?" said Rito as Sean come through the door. "Yeah, it definitely was tough but it'll make me stronger" replied Sean. "Sean do you have time. I wanted to tell you a story. Since Yuuki likes you a lot, I thought you should know this one" said Rito. "Sure, I'm all ears. Don't tell me you were some kind of stripper" said Sean. "No it's much more dark than that. 8 years ago when Yuuki and I were 10. Our father a fallen angel and our mother a goddess of water. Our father one day caught our mother cheating on him, so he decided to kill her. Right in front of us. I took Yuuki and ran into the forest as far as we could. I heard our father calling for us. His face covered in our mothers blood and his eyes as red as hell's flames. We hid until Zara come out of nowhere and took us in. Yuuki to this day struggles with getting over it. She plays cold so she won't have anyone near her taken away. That's why I hope you can make her happy" said Rito. "Wow I feel like a dick but don't worry I don't plan on letting anyone around me die or myself. I'll protect everyone and bring peace" said Sean. "Good, take Yuuki out today. I'm pretty sure she wants to spend some time with you" said Rito.

Sean walks to Yuuki's room and knocks. "Who is it?" said Yuuki. "It's me Sean" said Sean. Yuuki opens the door and she's wearing a red long dress. "Sorry I was planning to go out today but Elizabeth canceled" said Yuuki. "Ah I was about to ask you, if you wanted to go out.... I mean hang out" Sean said while turning red. "Ah, sure let's go out... and have f u n" said Yuuki teasing Sean. Sean and Yuuki go store to store. Yuuki tries on new clothing and asks Sean, "do these look good on me?". Sean replied with, "it seems what ever you wear, you make it look good". Yuuki turns red and goes back into the changing room. "Thank you for that" said Yuuki. Sean and Yuuki go to the ice cream stand and get ice cream. "It's been pretty fun so far. I never had fun with anyone this much" said Yuuki. While Yuuki was talking Sean tries to sneak a bite of her ice cream. Yuuki pulls her ice cream back. "If-you-want-some-you-will-let-me-feed-it-to-you" said Yuuki teasing Sean. "Um sure, I'm fine with that" said Sean. Sean closes his eyes and opens his mouth. Yuuki kisses Sean. Sean backs up and is confused. Yuuki looks at Sean blushing. "I've always wanted to do that" said Yuuki. "Wha-what what's going on here. Why did you kiss me. It's not like I didn't like it but I'm confused" said Sean. "Don't-worry-about-it" said Yuuki teasing Sean. Yuuki pokes Sean's nose and gets up. "Lets go to the park" said Yuuki.

Sean and Yuuki are at the park sitting on a bench. Yuuki leans on Sean. "I enjoyed today. Thank you for spending time with me" said Yuuki. "No problem, I enjoyed it myself" said Sean. "We should do this again, it's good to spend time together especially we don't have others getting in the way" said Yuuki. Elizabeth walks past the park and sees Yuuki and Sean. She walks up to them. "What are you two doing" said Elizabeth. "Um um" said Sean. "We went on a date" said Yuuki. "Did you now? said Elizabeth. Elizabeth gets into her fighting stance. "Do you really want to do this here?" said Yuuki. "Yes. Sean is mine" said Elizabeth. Yuuki gets up and gets into her fight stance. Elizabeth and Yuuki punch each other and jump back. They charge at each other again and Sean gets up and closes his eyes and pictures Yuuki and Elizabeth. "Divine Reduction" said Sean. Yuuki and Elizabeth's clothing rip apart. "What?" said Sean. Elizabeth and Yuuki are naked completely. They fall to floor and cover up. "You damn pervert!" said Yuuki and Elizabeth. "I'm so sorry. I did my new move wrong. Good to know it works that way too" said Sean. Yuuki and Elizabeth use magic to get their clothing back. Sean starts to head home with the girls. As he gets off the elevator he says to the girls, "that reminds me I have a question for you both for tomorrow". The girls turn red and start asking themselves, "Is he going to ask me out? Is he going to asking me to be his?".
