Chapter 6 Part 1 - What [They] We Call War

Allen was in Tokio’s face as soon as Georg had said ‘fight’. “Hey, little girl.” he smirked.

An annoyed look crossed Tokio’s face as a snowy ice covered her body. She smirked right back at him, like a mirror as Allen was also being covered in the frost. Tokio frowned. “Here’s something you can’t do.” she said a shadow-like, pitch black, wings burst from her back, each wing slightly larger then Tokio by itself. They flickered like they were made of flames.

Allen’s eyes dilated. “Third Element, Wind. You Have it.” Vines started entangling Tokio, though as they would go for the wings the vines would sink right through. “The only way to have wings of shadows …is if you have both ice and wind elements, and specific royal blood.”

The wings wrapped themselves around Tokio as she melted into a hovering shadow and sped upwards to escape the vines. As she did this another shadow slammed into her, bringing her, painfully, into her body once again, slamming into the ground. Kikyo was holding Tokio down, Allen’s vines continued to cover her, making her unable to move.

Red-Black fire shot at the two girls and Kikyo jumped up and away from the fire, squealing as the fire burnt and killed the vines. Tokio was freed, and engulfed in the warm flames. The fire wasn’t burning her as it had Kikyo, the flames slowly died and Bill’s voice came over the headset.

“You’re okay, right?” He asked and continued without waiting for her answer as she nodded. “I’ll take Allen, you fight Kikyo.” he said and Tokio saw him, as a blur, slamming into Allen and knocking him to the ground.

Kikyo was using her control over water to put out the burning red and black fires on her pant leg, scorch marks remained. Seeing this opportunity, Tokio darted toward Kikyo, grabbing her left arm with her own right. Tokio slammed her left palm into Kikyo’s chest, knocking the wind out of her, then with the help of gusting winds, threw Kikyo over her shoulder and into the stadium’s wall. A crack formed in the wall.

-> Bill <-

Allen stood up to face Bill. “Aww I have to fight you?” he made a sad face stretched his arm above his head. “You should be fighting a guy like me, you’re such a pretty girl.” He smiled cutely.

Bill’s face because a mixed look of annoyance and disgust at Allen’s words. “I’m not a girl, you idiot!” her said angrily, gusts of wind emanating from him, his black shirt being whipped around. Allen just stood, seeming to enjoy the breeze.

Bill sent out an amazingly strong burst of wind, his black shirts unbuttoned, showing off his chest and black star tattoo on his hip. Allen’s face went from shock, then to a blank face as the razor sharp wind sliced at his chest and arms.

Blackened, red blood soaked Allen’s pale yellow shirt as the gusts subsided, his shirt torn to shreds but still managing to stay together. His purple eyes brightened, and a few of Allen’s teeth lengthened and sharpened…like a wolf’s. He seemed to be enraged, probably the realization that Bill was in fact, a man. Allen growled as dog-like whiskers grew on his cheeks and his stance changed to be like a wolf.

Bill covered his nose, waving his other hand. “ Damn werewolf stench.” he muttered hoarsely, voice muffled by his hand and his eyes flashed a bright blue, like Tokio’s eyes. He glanced over his shoulder as he heard something smash into the stadium wall behind him. Kikyo was struggling to stand up as a black aura, with multiple flicks of pale color in it, surrounded Tokio who was slowly walking toward Kikyo. Bill smirked as he released his seal. The star tattoo on his hip flashed red, and the red settled on every edge of the star. It Shimmered in the dark, rainy arena as the same aura formed around Bill,

“I though…you vampires, don’t you like the smell of blood?” Allen teased, ripping the remains of his blood-soaked shirt off and threw it to the ground.

-> Tokio <-

“Not mutt blood.” Tokio heard Bill’s voice over to her left, sensing that he too, was a vampire like herself. She smiled happily.

Kikyo coughed as she had given up on standing and looked up at Tokio’s beautiful, otherworldly form. It was strangely…beautiful. “ You’re a .. Vampire?” she stuttered, shocked.

“Ja, I am.” Tokio’s smile turned into a smirk. Kikyo was not of royal blood, that was obvious. Seeing Kikyo so afraid of he vampire form, it was…exciting. She’d already won the fight, Kikyo would not last any longer.

Kikyo stood up slowly, actually able to stand this time. “I’ll be killed if I continue, I know it.” she frowned and closed her eyes as she turning into a shadow once more and shot off into the stands.

A horrific smell suddenly wafted up Tokio’s nose and she cringed, her nose wrinkling. She looked over to Allen and Bill.

“Seems Kikyo has chosen to forfeit.” She heard Bill say casually, and Allen shrugged.
. “She’s not one of royal blood…” he said simply, not surprised that Kikyo lost so quickly.
In a flash, Bill had Allen pinned to the wall, his eyes turning a deep red…

-> Allen <-

Black. That was all Allen could see after seeing the blood red color fill Bill’s eyes. He shuddered, remembering them. A beam of light hit Allen’s eyes, he instinctively closed them, flinching. He reopened them moments later to see the last of the black melting into a new location around him. He was standing in a tree above a clearing in some kind of woods or forest.

Two small boys stood, hand in hand, staring up at a blood red moon. One of the boys had black hair, it was slightly long, but still short enough to spike it in the back, it looked like a mess, but it still looked cool. The other boy had short, dirty blonde dreadlocks.

The boys, along with Allen who seemed to be nonexistent to the boys, watched with wide eyes as the red in the full moon poured into a bloody red-black shadow in the shape of a young girl, no older than 20.

Color came to the girl, her hair white except for the multiple colors that would shimmer in the moon light on certain strands.
“Son’s of my royal vampire blood.” Her voice sounded so unreal.
