Drixel flew above Reyone Field the sound of Laura's voice screaming out as she fell into the soul steam. he knew it was going to forever haunt him.
he should have done something to safe her but he did nothing. filled with anger Drixel landed and took out the Crystal. he coated just his arm and started to punch near by trees.
"its all my fault!" he shouted punching holes threw the trees. "it should have been me. i should have protected her!" he roared as he Shot up crystal spikes, watching as they stuck in the trees and ground.

Maku looked up hopefully as he approached the small grove of trees. He'd left the City about a week ago, now, and his food and water were starting to run low. A grove like this meant some form of water nearby, at least, and maybe even some wild game. At the very least, he'd have a sheltered place to sleep tonight.
Walking into the grove, however, Maku realized something was amiss. Shards of black crystal peppered the ground and the trees from the east, crystals that seemed chillingly familiar. His senses on full alert now, Maku lowered his bag to the ground, moving through the trees slowly.
He didn't have to go far before he found the apparent source of the crystals: an angel, his arm covered in the black crystal, was striking trees seemingly at random, occasionally letting out a yell. Deciding it best to leave well enough alone, Maku began to back away from the scene, hoping to get back to his bag and leave unnoticed.
However, on his first step, Maku grimaced as he heard the dry snap of a twig beneath his foot. He froze, hoping that the angel hadn't heard.

Drixel herd a faint tig snap behind him he quickly turned around, growling. he saw a man standing behind him. he pointed his crystal coat hand toward the man. "have you come to mock me at my failure." Drixel shouted. before he gave time for the man to answer Drixel took more Crystal from his side bag "well you shall do no such THING!!" he shouted as the crystal coated his whole body. "you shall feel my pain." he yelled as he shot 4 shards towards the man

Maku jumped to the side, dodging all but one of the crystals. This one slashed the sleeve of his shirt, and left a thin, but painful cut along his upper arm. Maku attempted to ignore it for the time being, placing his back against a tree, and keeping it between himself and his apparent attacker.
Maku opened his mouth, and found himself clueless as to what to say to the distraught, and apparently dangerous, angel. As he'd feared, the being had struck out at the slightest disturbance. Something told him words wouldn't get him out of this. Forgoing further confrontation, or at least hoping to, Maku bolted trying to put some distance between himself and the angel. After the promise he'd made to Taka, he didn't plan on fighting unless he had no other choice.

Maku didn't hear anymore yelling from behind him. Maybe he'd gotten away after all. Just a little ways more, and he could grab his bag and get out of there, leave this crazy angel behind...
A sudden stabbing pain in his left shoulder stopped Maku's thoughts, and the force the inflicting crystal delivered knocked him to the ground, hard. He landed on his stomach, the wind knocked out of him as he tried to get a hand to the crystal, remove it from his shoulder. However, his vision was suddenly blocked by a black crystal slamming into the ground less than an inch from his eyes. He stopped reaching for the crystal, instead turning his eyes upward, to the angel who'd flung the crystal shards at him. Real fear, present for the first time in years, was present in his eyes as they found the crystalline being in the sky.

Time seemed to slow as Maku watched the angel's fist fall towards him. In the back of his mind, he felt something stirring, something that frightened him a great deal. On the other hand, it was something he'd once known very well, something he knew could save him...fearing for his life, and out of any other options, Maku let go. Closing his eyes, he cast himself into Oblivion.
[glow=black,1,700]When next they opened, Maku's eyes were solid black, and with a grin, his teeth were shown to be visibly sharper than they ought to be. Yelling ought, Maku's right hand lashed out, slapping Drixel's fist away with more force than Maku's frame should normally possess. A crackling of black lighting danced up his arm, directly into Drixel's fist where they touched.
Without missing a beat, Maku then threw his legs back over his head, somersaulting backwards to land on the balls of his feet, keeping an eye on his apparent opponent.[/glow]

[glow=black,1,700]Maku's grin grew as the angel threw himself into a reckless charge. Whatever had happened to this being, his own anger, or regret, or guilt, or whatever, was causing a kind of strategic blindness. He apparently no longer cared for fighting smart, only fighting as a distraction from 'his pain'.
Standing up straight from his crouch, Maku sidestepped the reckless attack, trailing his hand along the outstreched arm as the angel ran past. Chaotic energy danced across his fingertips, lightly cracking the crystal coating the being's arm and fist.
Turning to face the angel, Maku took a few running steps backwards, putting some extra distance between himself and his opponent. "What about me? I've never met you, pal. And I'll be honest - you seem a little...unbalanced."[/glow]

Drixel ran past the man and saw cracks form in the crystal. Drixel lost his balance and fell to the ground. He slammed his fist into the ground, screaming.
"i failed to save you my love.' he yelled, punching a whole in the ground. Drixel let out a loud roar as the crystal over his body exploded outward sending thousands of tiny shards flying. Drixel's breathing became heavy he sat up with his back to a tree, panting.

[glow=black,1,700]Maku's arm flew through the air, leaving behind a trail of crackling black energy. This trail hovered in the air, disentegrating any crystals that came in contact with it, and protecting Maku's head and torso from the wide attack. His legs and arms, however, were pelted with hundreds of the small shards, and thin rivulets of blood were soon streaming down both arms.
With a grimace of concentration, the same black energy surrounded his body, destroying the crystals, but leaving the wounds behind. On the plus side, the crystals were gone, along with a good deal of pain. Unfortunately, the blood now seemed to be flowing a good deal more freely than before. Shaking it off for the moment, Maku walked over to the exhausted angel, stopping a few feet away and taking a seat on the grass.
"'I failed to save you, my love?' Jeez, pal...suck it up." The words flowed casually from Maku's mouth as he distractedly plucked at a blade of grass. However, in that same casual tone, there was an undercurrent of sarcastic cruelty that could not be misunderstood.[/glow]

"it was my fault i should have saved her." Drixel stood up looking at the man.
"do you even know what love is?" he asked. Drixel started to fly up. he looked back at the man. "come find me when you lose someone you love." Drixel started to fly away.

[glow=black,1,700]Standing in a flash, Maku cupped his right hand around his mouth, yelling after the angel, "COME FIND ME WHEN YOU QUIT RUNNIN FROM YOUR PROBLEMS! YOU ANGELS ARE ALL THE SAME, FALLEN OR NOT! YOU REALLY WANNA MAKE UP FOR IT? QUIT BLAMIN' YOURSELF, KEEP LIVIN! IF SHE LOVED YOU, THAT'S WHAT SHE'D WANT!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Maku dropped his hand to his side, the look on his face indicating genuine surprise at the speech. Talking under his breath to himself, he muttered, "Now where the hell did that come from?"[/glow]
