Part 2: Road to Hell, Through Heaven:

Sky rolled onto his stomach groaning, he cursed himself for letting himself get carried away again- "oh god when I get my hands on that bastard, B you ok?!" -he called out only to have hand wrap around his mouth- "Shut up boy" -Sky blinked and acted accordingly to try and buck whom ever was holding him off.

"Shut up if you don't want to go into purgatory, stupid feline" -the voice was male deep , but the body behind him was massive, at least seven foot tall which made Sky relax as to not get hurt. Skys eyes adjusted to his surroundings, he was in a room with several others. Various species strewn the different faces he saw, he couldn't help but notice that almost each one had a set of white feathered wings-

"I'm going to let you go, don't be alarmed."-slowly the pressure came off Sky, he slowly turned then looked up at the face of a golden furred lion. "Where am I?" -he whispered- "My friend where is he? Did Wolf kill him?" -the Lion blinked a few times- "I don't know about your friend, as for Wolf I don't know who that is either."

-Sky let off a low hiss- "a demon, and my friends name is B-Man...er.. Brandon. where is he?" -Sky blinked as he felt a weight on his back, as his senses came back to him mind and body- "where am I?" -the lion looked apologetic "Welcome to Heaven lad...you're dead" -Skys features went slack as he felt the weight on his back shift slightly, at the corners of his vision he could see the tips of similar white wings-

"I...I'm dead?" -he reached out for support but fell back not used to the difference in weight- "B.. But I...oh god..." -he reached down feeling his stomach, there was no evidence of any wounds, tears slowly weld up then ran down his cheeks- "B...where is he?..." -the Lion shrugged- "Sorry kid, but no one else came up with you before heaven was locked out."

-everything was coming back to him now, the burning village and castle, the fight in the dormant volcanos maze of caves. All of it was rushing back to him, Sky felt sick and leaned up agains't a wall- "When did this start?" -Sky turned slowly looking at the lion- "about three months ago, why do you ask?" -Sky hissed-

"Someones coming" -said a nondescript angel sitting by a door, everyone moved to their own spots while some tried to hide Sky. The door opened revealing a familiar face Sky knew well, Wolf stood at the doorway the familiar blood red glowing eyes bore down on everyone. "well Gabriel, ready to talk about surrendering to me? or shall we continue killing those~"

The lion from before roared out but stopped himself from moving foreword- "good...good. you know better." -Wolf stepped back and motioned, a few badly beaten angels were thrown inside. their wings had been broken and torn off their backs- "it will soon be your turn, unless you tell me what I want to know" -the door slammed shut then was locked. Gabriel growled- "if he didn't have that gem I'd rip his throat out"

Sky slipped out from behind the angels watching some others help the ones whom had been beaten, he couldn't help but wonder what Wolf had planned this time. "Wolf is still alive...damn so.. B might be dead" -Gabriel blinked- "you have fought that demon before?" -some other angels turned their attention to the Sky-

"Once before when I was younger, then when he..."killed" me..."-Gabriel made a mental note then changed the subject- "well this is a shame then, but we are stuck here for the time being." -Skys ears twitched- " I don't understand, we out number them can't we just break out?" -Gabriel frowned-

"did you notice that glowing around his neck?" -Sky blinked thinking as there wasn't enough light for his feline eyes to focus- "no I didn't" -Gabriel sighed softly and began to explain.-"do you know how to use Chi?" -Sky nodded slowly, Gabriel motioned- " then try to destroy that wall, if you can..."

-Sky blinked a few times as he swung his arm out palm open energy built up then faded, he tried a couple more times to use his Kou-Ken - "It...cancels out any energy based attacks?" -Gabriel grunted slightly- "more than that, any and all forms of strength, speed and or otherwise from Chi, holy, and demonic energy as well" -Sky felt sick again not just from the thought but from the memories he was going through- "so, we are just as we are down to physical strength which isn't much agains't a demon"

Gabriel nodded slowly- "for the time being, well you may as well tell us how you fought this demon before hand. You obviously were strong enough to fend him off" -Sky looked up brow furrowed- "not well enough, I mean I'm dead right? if there is anyone you should try and find that would be my friend."

Several angels chatted amongst themselves, Gabriel shook his head slightly- "even if he arrived, I doubt he could do anything with that thing around er "Wolfs" neck" -Sky slumped to the floor, it all seemed hopeless-"so, we just wait to die is that it?" -no one answered because it was obvious-

Wolf glanced over to one of his generals- "report" -the demon looked apologetic- "I am sorry my lord but they group never reported back to the portal" -Wolf growled driving a hand through the demons stomach- "Find out what is going on now" -he jerked his hand out the demon fell to the ground roaring in pain several other demons rushed over to help the fallen-

"I want answers now, a few more hours left before everything is complete" -Wolf growled slightly, he had come too far to loose everything now- "Devidra, once transcended I will crush you" -his red eyes bore into the demons- "I want nothing to disrupt it, now get going or do you want me to get involved?" -the group rushed off carrying the wounded demon-

Meanwhile back at the castle, Shadow was finally coming to terms with the new fighting style B-man had showed off. "are you alright Shadow?" -Shadow blinked coming back to reality-"yes, for a change I am feeling a bit better." B-man nodded slowly then turned back to the window- "I am sure they will send more, hopefully we can find out how they are getting here"

Shadow blinked clearly worried- "you want to take on a whole army or something?" -B-man didn't take his eyes off from outside- "if I have to, I think we are dealing with something much bigger" -Shadow let off a low hiss- "our lives mean nothing in this then" -B-man nodded slowly- "you should pack up what belongings you have Shadow and get to a safe spot"

-B-man looked back over his shoulder, Shadow seemed to age at the comment- "Am I really that useless to you now?" -B-man turned to him- "I didn't say that, but you aren't in the best shape right now. I don't want any more to get hurt" -Shadow rose up angered, gripping his sword tightly his knuckles went white through the black fur-

"At least let me go with you" -Shadow seemed to wrap his sadness around him as if it were a cloak- "please...I have no one left" -B-man sighed softly then nodded- "okay, but if we run into trouble you get the hell out of there. Understand?" -Shadow nodded slowly- "alright, I will do as you ask"

Several minutes had passed as the two made their way outside, B-man lead the way but didn't move along the path too quickly to let Shadow keep up. Shadow clutched his sword grip tightly with his right hand, further ahead B-man could feel more life forces coming from a single point at the south end of the village- "company" -B-man motioned for Shadow to take cover as he went on ahead-

-dropping his duffle bag to the side he moved closer to the spot where he could sense the beings, stopping by a large burnt out log he tilted slightly to the side to look. Before him a small group of demons six or seven with one in the centre of the group who was dressed in the same garb as the demon from before to indicate he was the leader of the group-

"I want that group found now, or else your hides shall be...hmm?" -the leader turned towards B-mans location, slowly the human stepped out- "looking for someone demons?" -the group turned to B-man weapons already raised, their leader shifted his position to the front of the group arms raised- "Don't try it men...this ones energy is far to large for you to take on"

Shadow meanwhile was watching on, he could tell their leader knew B-man was the real deal. Or was the human just putting out that much energy that it was obvious from the start- "I am going to ask this just once...Where is Wolf?..." -the leader lifted a hairless brow- " you know of our master?" -B-man stepped foreword- " Know him? I want to kill him..."

Instantly the other demons went in to strike, B-man was moving much faster this time than the first encounter. Two of the demons went down with single blows to their bodies, each attack caused the armour to shatter like glass and dig into their bodies- "Where is he?!" -Shadow moved in closer as the two demons whom attacked weren't moving-

The remaining soldiers backed off but still surrounded the human, B-man wasn't going to stand for this anymore- "I said where is Wolf! or am I going to have to beat it out of you?!" -two more demons attacked, Shadow gawked in amazement as he watched the humans nails start to glow bright white- "Where!?"

In two swift swipes the demons who attacked came apart into large chunks, it was Sky's slice attack executed perfectly. No one seemed to notice a dark vapour slip out from behind the burn't out stumps of where the portal to Heaven lay. The remaining soldiers were about to attack when their leader shouted- "Back down men! You Can't take him!"

"Smart one, now tell me where Wolf is and I will let you go" -the leader slipped out a couple of spiked nunchuckus, instantly the weapons were a blur. B-man slipped back into a fighting stance but not his own, It looked more like Sky's but there were no more openings in the defence-

-no other words were spoken as B-man and the demon charged, both vanished in a blur of speed for a second before they stood at opposite ends, Shadow couldn't see it at first then he gasped as the demon roared out in agony. B-man turned around tossing the demon his arms that had been sliced off mid bicep.

Now beat it! -he yelled louder as the remainder of the demons took fighting positions- Scram!!! -the soldiers attacked him once more, Shadow stood a gasp at how much anger the human expression as he beat each demon down before turning to the leader.- Where is Wolf?! -the Demon spat black blood on B-mans shirt-

With in seconds the demon flew backwards from an attack it couldn't even see, the burnt trunk of a tree shuddered as the dead bark fell over the demons shoulders.- Where is he?! -the demon stood there in a daze of pain totally speechless at the mortals strength, rapid series of body blows followed next- Where is Wolf?! -with each impact B-Mean shouted - Where?! -the demon looked up at the human then grinned- "closer than you think...and he will punish you more than ever now..."

-B-man dropped the demon from his clench then turned back around to see if any other demons were going to pop up-"...bastards..."-quickly he walked back to where Shadow was hiding, Shadow was frowning slightly as he watched B-man start to go through his duffle bag and take out the uniform he had bought months before-

Brandon?...are you alright? -Shadow stepped up behind the human slowly, who still seemed to be shivering in pent up fury- "I will be after all this is over and done with..."-B-man tossed his t-shirt off the side as he reached in pulling out a black one in it's place, followed by the blue martial arts uniform, Black wrist bands-

Shadow stepped back slowly watching B-man finish swapping off his street cloths for his uniform- "Brandon...are you really going to go alone on this? "-B-man got up starting to do up his obi belt- "Yes I do...Just stay here and take cover alright? "-Shadow didn't respond, instead a demonic energy blast slammed into B-mans back sending him flying foreword to hit a tree-

B-man recovered quickly, he could smell the burn't clothing and stench of his burnt flesh- What in the...oh no.... -he blinked as his features went slack as he could see Shadow right arm raised as it smoked from firing off the energy blast, but what really caused the shock were the blood red eyes staring at him- Wolf...

Wolf chuckled as he was now possessing Shadows body- ah Brandon...still miles behind as usual..-B-man slowly got up, Wolf smiled unsheathing the sword- If you want a fight then do it in your body damnit- Wolf stepped foreword slowly preparing to attack- Oh please...I have my reasons, besides how much more pain can I cause you! -B-man jerked back and began to dodge the swift swipes and jabs of the sword-

B-man jerked back once more as the sword came down quickly slicing a downed tree trunk in two- I bet you are still wondering who destroyed that town aren't you! -Wolf swiped at B-man once more who grabbed the blade at the tip then snapped it instantly- You did! who else ?! -Wolf laughed - Didn't you wonder where this Neko was?! -B-man blinked realizing as he threw the blade tip down-

You bastard! you possessed him and destroyed the village?! -Wolf began to howl with laughter as energy started to gather again- Oh poor boy, you really don't have a clue about any of this...oh well time to get this over with...-Wolf began to laugh as he launched himself towards B-man, the energy was building up to the point where B-man knew Shadows body couldn't handle it then it erupted-

B-man was thrown backwards several yards before regaining control, with a single back flipped he landed on his feet once more- Shadow?! -he rushed back into the dust storm that was settling, he could smell burn't flesh and blood- Shadow?! -his foot touched something, looking down quickly he was almost sick- B....-Shadow coughed weakly the sound of fluid could be heard in his lungs-

B-man knelt down quickly to his horror half of Shadows body was gone, the neko's bloody hand grabbed onto the front of his uniform- S... Stop that...-shadow coughed once more-...Demon... p.. please.. -B-man held onto Shadows hand tightly as the tears rolled down the nekos cheeks- I will Shadow.. I promise...-Shadow coughed up blood once more and screamed out in pain- Please Kill him! -with those lasts words Shadow passed on-

B-man leaned foreword clutching onto the remains of his friend, yet another scar to his heart was added- Shadow.. I... I'm so sorry for all of this...-he picked up the remains then moved over to the duffle bag, he slipped out Winters wedding gown then lay what was left of Shadow on top, before slowly wrapping him inside and placing him inside the crater then he buried him-

B-man stood up body tense and ready, he glanced over noticing a sparkle of white blue bio electrical energy. With a roar a portal opened as Wolf spoke laughing- welcome to your doom Brandon...-B-man stepped up the portal, took a deep breath then stepped inside vanishing-
