The Finish Line: Rise of The Fallen Angel

The Next Stage

Times are getting dire. The sky has become tainted in the Shadow Tribe's corrupted power, plunging everything into eternal night, and sunlight is all but nonexistent. People are starting to panic because they are also surrounded by the evaporating steam from the oceans. The Undefeated are their only hope for humanity. Speaking of them, Arsène was still carrying an injured Maria and his team was behind him, ready to fight. Suddenly, they heard the laughter that they dreaded. Vesuvius.
"So glad you could make it, Puppets." He bellowed. Maria was still hurt, and thus, was scared of him and buried her head into Arsène's shoulder.
"I've been waiting for this. But you will answer this one question before your life is forfeit. Why did you do it?" Arsène said, glaring with all his hatred.
"Ahh, you've been misguided. I am not your parents' killers." Vesuvius replied. Arsène's eyes widened and he gently handed Maria to Toshiro and turned to The Chief.
"What do you mean?! I saw you there!" Arsène shouted, enraged.
"Worry not, boy." Vesuvius replied.
"He's right. He is not the killer. It was me." A mysterious voice said. Once he showed himself, Arsène saw that he was a tall, muscular man with blue hair, devil blue eyes, sharp fangs and he was wearing a blue body of armour and had blue magma seeping out of his clawed hands. Arsène sensed great power from him and realised that this was Titan and Satan Combined. Titanusatan, if you will. "You're the... two people I saw in my memory... you're my family's Killers!" Arsène started glowing an intense orange colour and suddenly charged at Vesuvius, immediately beheading him, to everyone's shock.
"If killing you is what it takes to undo this destruction, then so be it. Toshiro, you fight with me. Everyone else, back us up, and take care of any ShapeShifters that show up." Arsène ordered. But before he could do anything, the entire Shadow Tribe came in and started to fight them. Titanusatan just stood by and watched. The Battle has Commenced.
"Alright. Undefeated... CHARGE AND KILL!!!" Arsène shouted and the war has begun. Blades clashed, blood shed and grunts and screams were spread throughout the Battlefield, which was surrounded by collapsed buildings. With the Chief of the Underworld dead, the next highest warrior was fighting The Fallen Brothers. Wave and Hurricane were splashing and blowing all around, creating a tornado of wind, water and Shifters. Maria had to sit the on the sidelines for a few more minutes before she could join, and Angel and Storm were colliding their blades with the general like no tomorrow. Ironically, if they didn't, there'd be little to no tomorrow literally. Lucky for Arsène, his new armour also made him invulnerable to damage. Blows can still knock him back but his protective aura cannot be penetrated. With Toshiro, he is too fast to be hit effectively. His lightning allows him to travel at the speed of light. BlackFang's wolf-like abilities allow him to howl into the air, summoning a massive meteor strike, allowing him for efficient long range coverage. His bites also dwarf that of a great white shark. A sudden blast of ice coated a quarter of the Shifters in solid ice. Maria was back in the game.
"Nice of you to show up." Angel said.
"Miss me?" She flirtatiously asked, flipping her hair over shoulder. 'Well this feels familiar.' Arsène thought.
"Yea." he said, instead of his classic "wouldn't go that far" line. Maria blushed and said
"Glad to be back, thanks for helping me." She said, gratefully.
"No worries. Now, let's fight!" He said.
"Right!" Maria replied and dashed off to fight the other Shifters. BlackFang eventually noticed that half the Shifters had disappeared.
"Where have the other Shifters gone!?" He shouted. Arsène heard him and focused. His eyes burst open and he sensed that they were using their Shapeshifting abilities to hide and ambush. He went to their spot and took them all out in two strikes.
"Got them. I'll let you know if more are hiding!" He said to BlackFang. He made his way back to Toshiro and brought the Inferno over his head and brought it done with a mighty hell, cutting the general clean in two.
"Nice job, bro." Storm thanked.
"Thanks. Let's help the others." Angel replied. After hours upon hours of fighting, The Undefeated finally managed to win against the Underworld. Titanusatan walked forward with his hands dripping in blue steaming magma, combining the powers of Satan and Titan, Blue fire and lava.
"Well done. You've managed to defeat the Tribe. However, I'm not finished yet." He said. Then he charged at the team and initiated The Next Stage of the Battle for Earth. The steam from the oceans was getting thicker by the minute, and people were getting anxious. Luckily, the city is abandoned so there's no one there to get hurt or worse. Arsène blocked the first attack and knocked him back.
"Listen to me. Everyone except Toshiro, stay back. This is our fight." He commanded.
"WHAT?! No! I can't let you fight him alone!" Maria protested.
"Maria. I'm asking you. Please. This is our one chance to avenge our parents." Arsène turned to her and held both her hands to his chest.
"I don't want to risk losing anymore innocent people." He continued. Maria looked at him wide-eyed and tears started falling down. Reluctantly, she nodded and said,
"Good luck. I believe in you."
Instantly after she said that, much to the shock of everyone present, she leaned forward and locked lips with Arsène. Although in shock, he kissed back and the world disappeared around them. After a minute, they separated.
"Don't wander off too far. We may need you're help." Arsène said.
"Gotcha. I love you." She replied with a loving smile.
"Hmph. I love you too." Arsène muttered, letting his lips curl upwards slightly. With that said, he turned back to Titanusatan.
"You're fight is with me and Toshiro. Leave the others out if you know what's good for you." He spat.
"If you insist." Titanusatan replied. After words were exchanged, their blades' sparks were next.
