Vol . 7 - Chapter 7: Past Lovers

Part 1- Chinese Theatre: Rooftop

(CCCCLLLAAASSSHHHH)

Uriel and Lenny clash with their fists on top of the Chinese theatre, they exchanges blows multiple times trying to take down one another. Uriel feels weak for an unknown reason, Lenny sees the opportunity to gain the upper hand and take advantage of Uriel's weakened state.

(PUUUUMMM)

Lenny kicks Uriel in the stomach causing him to crash in a pillar almost falling. Uriel hangs in the edge with one hand. Lenny begins to walk slowly as he says:

"They told me that you were pretty strong and that I would be killed, what a letdown."

Lenny steps on Uriel's hand forcing him to fall; however, Uriel holds tight on the edge. Lenny steps on multiple times on Uriel's hand. Uriel feels pain not only in his hand but in his head as well.

(RRRRAAAAWWWW)

The second golem notices Uriel goes towards him. Lenny sees the golem approaching and looks at Uriel:

"Too bad kid, I wish you luck against the golem."

Lenny jumps off the building and begins to run with great speed in the direction that Angela and Chloe went. Uriel sees Lenny and screams:

"WAAAIIITTT!"

(BBBBBOOOOMMM)

The golem punches Uriel destroying part of the theater. The building begins to collapse causing people to run away in a panic state. Uriel lands in a cinema room; he breathes heavily trying to stand up. A woman with her daughter see Uriel and try to help him:

"Are you okay?" the woman asks with a worried face. Uriel hears the golem coming and looks at the woman:

"You must get out of here, that monster is coming to get you."

The woman carries her baby and begins to run, at that moment a part of the ceiling falls on top of her. Uriel sees that and reacts with great speed using a wind spell.

(CCRRAAASSSHHH)

The piece of the ceiling falls but Uriel manages to stop it using his spell. The woman is surprised on what she was seeing; Uriel with great force directs that part of the ceiling towards the golem.

(PPUUUMMM)

Uriel sees the woman and says; "Thank you for worrying, you must run away now." The woman nods in sign of agreement; she kisses Uriel in the cheek saying:

"Thank you for protecting my baby." The woman run away with her baby, Uriel looks at the golem trying to get in, everything it touches causes flames to rise. Uriel stands up and says:

"You damn monster, my sword may be broken but I still have a blade in my hand."

Uriel extends his hand and begins to concentrate manna in the form of wind. He begins to think of his mother's words:

"Listen mijo, our element is the wind, the wind is the most free of the elements, you can fly away and reach the clouds, but also it guards you from any danger, I entrust that my wind will always reach you and protect you."

Uriel takes a deep breath and wind begins to gather at fast speed. He points his hand towards the golem and chants:

"Lanza Divina Del Viento" (Divine wind blade.)

(SSSLLLLAAASSSHHH)

A massive spear made of wind destroys the golem's head; the golem begins to crumble away as Uriel thinks:

"This golem did not have heart it was actually made of dirt?"

"As expected of you, you haven't changed my lover"

Uriel hears the voice of a girl. He fills chills throughout his spine. He turns around and sees Samantha. Uriel begins to say:

"Why couldn't I sense you?"

"Simple, I am jabbing your rhythm sense but now you can sense me because I am the only thing that matters." Samantha snaps her fingers; Uriel cannot sense his surroundings. Uriel enters in a state of shock as he senses the great manna that Samantha has. Uriel begins to shake as he asks:

"Who are you?"

"My name is Samantha, I am the White witch's reincarnation and you are my lover Ichabod's reincarnation." Samantha says as she takes her hood off. Her hair begins to change white; she unbuttons her shirt revealing her abdomen and part of her breasts. She begins to walk slowly towards a paralyzed Uriel as she says:

"Now come to my arms, Ichabod."

Part 2 – Angela and Chloe's side.

Angela runs with Chloe at high speed as they hear the large destructive sounds that head their way. Chloe only looks back thinking about Uriel, and she asks Angela:

"Hey do you know what that form that Uriel took was?"

"No, this is the first time I see it as well." Angela replies to Chloe, both of them turn to an alley. The girls breathe heavily as they hear the sirens of the ambulance pass by them.

"I hope Uriel and Tsubasa are alright," Chloe expresses concern looking at the sky. Angela shakes her head and says:

"I hope Victoria is alright as well, I really miss her, she would know what to do?"

Chloe looks at Angela, she grabs her hand and with a confident face, she says:

"Let's go look for her."

However, the moment Chloe turns she feels someone hits her from behind. Chloe falls unconscious with Angela smiling; she holds her and says:

"You are too naïve trusting someone you don't know."

Lenny appears and sees Angela putting Chloe in the ground. He begins to walk towards them a he says:

"Little missy, please give me that girl."

Angela disappears from Lenny's sight and hits him in the neck causing him to fall unconscious as well. She begins to search for Chloe's key inspecting her body. The key was not with her, suddenly the phone rings from Lenny's pocket. It was a message that said:

"Angela pick up the phone."

The phone rings and Angela answers:

"Hello Angela, one of my agents told me that you and Victoria were with Uriel."

"So nurse you know about us huh." Angela replies to Johanna who was on the other side of the phone.

"I know who you really are, but it is not my concern on what you guys do. Here is the deal: I have the golden key, my superior is going to receive it. Tomorrow night there will be a poker tournament in Sin City were my superior will bet the key, I'm sure your boss wants it as well so tell him to come."

"You bitch! Why should I believe you?" Angela says with an angry tone. Johanna laughs and says:

"You don't have a choice, you want the golden key, we of the SIA want Condoriano and Uriel wants the Idol. Tell Darius about the poker contest and tell him to hurry because I heard that Yggdrasil would also send an agent. BYE - BYE"

Johanna hangs the phone. Angela puts a demonic smile and says:

"That bitch, it looks like plans will have to change." Angela destroys Lenny's phone, takes her phone out, and begins to call someone.

Part 3 – Chinese Theatre

Uriel who paralyzed by the fear because of Samantha's aura stands still. Samantha gets close to him and begins to hug him:

"Oh, Ichabod I've been waiting for you for so long."

"You got the wrong person, I am not Ichabod," Uriel says with a low tone. Samantha smiles at him and replies:

"You are him but you cannot remember, 200 years; we were separated, and now we are together."

Uriel falls into the ground, Samantha lays on top of him, she begins to pass her hand in his body, and Uriel tries to move as he says:

"Please stop it, I must find my students."

Samantha laughs and says; "Do not worry; Condoriano is going to take care of your Idol, I only accepted to help him because I wanted to be with you."

"So you are working with him, damn you!" Uriel says with an angry expression.

Samantha begins to come close to Uriel as she replies:

"Enough talking about other people, what I want if to for you remember our bond."

Samantha kisses Uriel in the mouth; Uriel begins to see blurry images of her past. May images involved a woman in white, a forest, a village and an equestrian. Samantha continues to kiss him as Uriel begins to feel pain.

(BBBAAAADDDUUUUMMMPPP)

Uriel begins to shake as he feels his soul leaving his body, and Samantha begins to absorb it. Uriel's eyes lose their light, he begins to lose conscious as he remembers the promise that he made.

"Come on, you need to move or you will die!" Uriel thinks to himself, at that moment half of his hair turns crimson and his left eye turns into a beast's eye. Uriel begins to move his arms and forces Samantha to let go of him. Uriel lips begin to bleed; he stands up and begins to wipe the blood off saying:

"Wow, you are a rough kisser, I felt I almost died."

Samantha looking upset asks; "Why did you stop me, I was going to purify you."

"I'm sorry, if I really am Ichabod's reincarnation I will come back to you, but right now I must save Chloe because I made a promise." Uriel says looking with confidence. Samantha smiles and replies:

"Very well, I will let you go this time, but remember that I will be watching you, when the time comes, you will help me."

Uriel nods and says; "Please stop working for Condoriano, do it for me"

"If that is what you wish, I will, the only reason I join up with him was to see you." Samantha replies with tears in her eyes. She begins to disappear in form of a black cloud and fades into the air.

Uriel's hair and eye turn back to normal. He walks outside and sees Johanna in her car; she looks at him and says:

"Wow you sure are popular, even with the witches."

"You saw?" Uriel asks in a panic state. Johanna winks and says:

"Why did you stop her? I must say it looked sexy" Uriel blushes and gets into her car. In the back seat, Tsubasa was lying unconscious. Uriel looks at him with a worried face.

"Don't worry, he is just unconscious" Johanna says she begins to drive towards the airport as she continues to speak:

"Listen up, Condoriano has Chloe and Angela, if we want catch them, you must stop that plane from flying"

Uriel nods in sign of agreement as they head towards the airport.
