The End of the Journey

[Winged Knight]

Gale took a deep inhale of his ciggerete before snuffing it in the ashtray. He forwned at it. He was gonna have to stop smoking these things, waste of money. He stroked a hand through his hair and added that little detail to his evergrowing to-do list. Ever since coming to terms with himself the list had just kept getting bigger.

He had sent a letter to her asking for help. That was the easy part. Actually finding her residence had been a bitch. He sighed and took a sip of the bourbon in his glass. The bar he was in was loud and the air was smoky. Great for the favor he was gonna cash in on. After all, he fit in with the crowd. He placed his drink back down and leaned back.

"Maybe it'll finally end. What would I do afterword? Heh, guess I'm just gonna have to find out."

[April]

"Find out how long it's going to take me for kick your ass for finding my address?"

A feminine voice muttered sliding next to the assasin. Her silver hair stood out against the black attire she sported, gleaming from the lights lingering within the room.

"Seriously.. not long."

A cocky smirk stroke across her angelicly deceiving face. Bringing her hand to view, a letter held at hand.

"So..... you sure you didn't send this when you were drunk so I can go off and do my business in protecting the peace and all?"

[Winged Knight]

"No. You offered and I accepted. April, this needs to end. He needs to be stopped. I have found a modicum of peace, but he will never let me have that peace as long as he is alive. He's been tracking me in the shadows, angry that I have abandoned my hate. He needs to die more for my wellbeing and that of others more then just my revenge."

[April]

April watched him for a moment, her eyes glared at the man before her for a moment. A long sigh broke her silence.

"Ragas would kill me, Niyomi WILL give me the cold shoulder for a LONG time for not having you work this out by yourself, Shadow would use very colorful languages at me for getting rid of your suffering; oh! Did I mention Ragas would kill me?"

April said with a light hearted voice, then she lowered her head in thought for a moment.

".....But I want to do this,... as in.. practice."

She turned her red eyes to Gale, a smirk still there.

"Just practice."

[Winged Knight]

"Thank you. With your help, we may be able to stop him."

[April]

"May?"
Noted April in a mocking tone, stretching her arms slightly she looked at Gale with a slightly lop sided grin.

"Kid, I'm immortal!~ He isn't... kind of an unfair advantage if you ask me..."

[Winged Knight]

"Yeah, but you haven't fought him."

Gale got up and stretched.

"He's a ways away now. We should get going."

[April]

She brushed his comment off with a flick of her wrist as she stood up as well.

"Nothing I can't handle, I'm pretty sure I've been through worst stuff than what one man can dish out."

April drew silent for a moment, and her smile disappeared... though this change didn't remain. Her smile returned and she placed her hands on her hips.

"It's just irritating that you're telling Ragas to back off one day, then coming to me the next; wishy washy~"

[Winged Knight]

"The less people involved in this the better. And he wouldn't have let me be involved in this. I need to be there. I need to be involved in this. Do you understand me?"
Gale motioned for the door.
"Let's go."

[April]

April smirked for a moment.

"After seeing what I saw,.." April patted his head childishly then walked out before him.

"I'd say in a way, we're similiar.. so yeah. I understand you."

Swinging back, she walked out of the door.

[Winged Knight]

Gale smirked and walked out with her.
"He was a few miles away from here last I checked. He's staying away from cities. He might even still be in the field I saw for all I know."

[April]

April cut her walking short and pulled out her hand and counted the places as she spoke in almost a teaching manner.

"Field, Miles away, Avoiding cities."
Tapping her foot April slapped her slightly open hand on her forehead in a laugh.

"I could always just sense him out unless you want the hard way and search 'round?"

[Winged Knight]

"You can if you want. Personally, the less I feel of the bastard the better. If it will make things easier, then go ahead. Just get ready to feel some nastiness."
Gale was tempted to light up another smke, bu thought better of it. He needed to clear his mind of distractions now so they didn't bite him in the ass later.
'Yeah, I have got to kick the habit after this.'


(Thanks for continuing KK, I really appreciate. Gale needs closure.)

[April]

( Noooo He needs ANGST and WANGST 8D... But that's just my sick and twisted opinion =/ )

"All the regrets and second thoughts after this are yours, don't come crying to me or Ragas about it later."

She said finally and took her index finger and placed it upon her forehead. A faint, almost nonexistant, glow in the form of a circle appeared and disappeared as she closed her eyes.

Fighting back almost a groan at the fact she had hoped it would take longer to find him, April opened her eyes and shoved her hands into her jacket's pockets.

"Fields just a bit outside, up for some walking?"

[Winged Knight]

(Remember, he's going to die. That's what makes April transform and get rid of Torturer.)

"I'm fine for some walking. It's the fighting that's going to come later that I'm worried about. I'm serious April, this guy is strong. We can't underestimate him."

Gale sighed before continuing.

"As for regrets, of course they would be mine. After all, this is about me." He said with a wry grin. He knew that would annoy April, and possibly get her to stop that lecturing tone of hers.

[April]

(.... D: But he makes me go <3 cause he causes ANGST! Can I adopt him as my own little angst toy?..Sex Slave..Pet? )

April twitched with a sarcastic smirk on her face and turned towards the moral assasin.
"For spite of that, I'll put in a word to send you to hell,"

Closing her eyes, she flipped back her head and stuck her tongue out childishly as she spoke.
"Besides, he's probably tough for you, I'm immortal with elemental magic darling... I doubt a human killer can take me."

[Winged Knight]

(Ooh, I'm going to enjoy making her eat those words.)

"Rome had the same thoughts with the german tribes." Gale muttered as they walked on. In little under half an hour, they were at the field Apri had spoken of. A large man stood in the middle of the tall grass. His was very tall and musculare, and his face was covered with a black mask.

"So you have come. Why have you abondoned your hate? You make yourself weak."

[April]

(APRIL ANGST AND PWNAGE? OMG YAY!~! *Naga laugh* But come onnnn, I wanna adopt the muscular black mask wearing hobo who likes to knife people...)

"Seems we have an attention problem here... someone doesn't feel as important as he wants to be~"

April noted in a mocking tone, a smirk nicely planted on her face with her red and gold eyes stared at the large man before her. Taking her hands on her hips April increased her voice level to send across her point.

"I still have hate for many things, that must mean I'm stronger than you by far, sweetie."

[Winged Knight]

The man seemed to shift. In an instant, he was infront of April and lifting her by her throat. He pulled her face close to his and examined her eyes.

"You speak lies girl. There is far too much love in your heart for your hate to be truly strong. Love for things in the past, and love for those who live now. Perhaps if I removed those things you would be truly strong. Perhaps even strong enough to kill me."

His tone was not threatening through out his explanation. In fact, it sounded like he was honestly curious. Gale tried to jump the Torturer, and got a glowing fist to his face as an award.

[April]

"What the fu-,"

April had been cut off at the fact his hand at been at her throat. Now, that she didn't see coming. Grasping at his arm, she tugged it away with a large portion of her strength and watched as Gale got schooled by the Torturer.

She turned towards him and glared as she grasped her hands in fists and stared at him with her still remaining smirk. Though inside she knew it would be a farcry from a simple match like she expected and was even slightly worried.

"I think I'll pass on being obsessive with hate and living a life of useless bloodshed, thanks much."

[Winged Knight]

"Then you willingly give up strength, just like that one there."
In one fluid motion, he turned and used April like a club to ram Gale in the chest as the man snuck up on the Torturer. The two of them tumbled on the ground some distance before finally stoping. Gale was flat on his back with April on top of him.

"We're doing great so far. I'v usually broken my arms about two times at this point." He said half jokingly. The sad thing was, he was dead serious.

[April]

April sighed. Ok... maybe it was little more than a farcry. Pulling herself up April held her head, after all she couldn't help but feel slightly dizzy, and looked towards the man.

"As enticing as broken arms sound, Gale, I'm not into the whole pain thing."

Bending her knees, April prepared herself with her hands formed into fists.

"I just need to get close enough to touch his forehead. That way I can have him unleash his fear upon him. Yes.. Yes..," she said as she felt Gale stare, "I so jacked Niyomi and Shadow's ability.. so what. I need it."

With that she bend forward, and aimed.

[Winged Knight]

"Right, you make it sound so easy." Gale muttered. His twinblades popped out.

"Might as well start off with something big. Kamatachi!"

A wave of sharp air rushed toward his enemy, and was pushed back by the overwhelming aura that seemed to come out of no where. The dense purple aura radiated off the man and ecompassed the whole field, choking the life out of the grass and the nearby trees.

"If you have abandonded your hate, then there is no reason for me to hold back any further!"

(Perhaps Gale won't die. Maybe it will just look like it. Would that Make April transform?)

[April]

(Should be a push. =/ I did enough research for her transformation and blah. )

"Yeah... this guy.. obviously isn't human,"

April muttered to herself, skidding backwards slightly with her hands on the floor. She was becoming pretty irritated by his constant nagging on hate this, hate that.
"He's like a broken record..on and on about hate."

Turning towards Gale, April called out loudly.
"Don't die on me here, it would be a bitch to have to protect your body."

[Winged Knight]

"What would be the point of protecting a dead body?"

Gale didn't wait to hear the answer to that and ran in close. The aura was stifling, but he gritted his teeth and rushed through it. His arms were in a flurry of motion, alternating between thrusts and stabs with his twinblades. It was obvious Gale was a master of them. Sadly, that wasn't enough for him to actually score a hit. Gale's target always moved away from the blades, seeming to shift and blur as he moved. It was strang such a large man could move that fast, but he was. A knee to Gale's stomach alerted the assasine that his target had decided to fight back. Gale flew back some feet before jamming his blades into the ground to halt his momentum. He coughed up some blood before scowling. This was going to be hard.
