"I'm so sorry…"

He held Chika in his arms, allowing some tears to slip . He f.u.c.ked up and as a result, got his friend killed . He…no…she couldn't be gone . No… not her . She didn't deserve to die and not like this . She died protecting him…No, she cannot die . No . She cannot die . She cannot die, not like this . She didn't deserve it .

He really did love her . He loved her as much as Alice and she died before he realized it . The reality of this struck the young man .

There will be blood .

There will be pain .

There will be blood .

She didn't go in vain…

She can't go…

She can't leave…

The world began to shake, and it wept, for what approached should not be . Time and s.p.a.ce seemed to stop, combing with the one who involuntary summoned it . Cracks of white and gold ripped through the sky as if matter itself was being torn apart . Winds and energy and essence stormed in a rage . b.l.o.o.d.y lightning struck in random places .

Black and red and gold light covered the area briefly, nearly blinding the witnesses as it contracted like a heartbeat, settling to surround the Stone .

The changes happened quickly, but seemed to flow on, at its pace, one with time itself .

The need for sorrow was stashed away, flowing in to replace it with a fury so intense, volcanoes seemed like tamed puddles .

Wings, larger than an angel's, burst from his back, gold with red aura, shredding his s.h.i.+rt into nothingness . Mist oozed from Clyde's mouth, flowing into Chika . Flowing everywhere . His eyes s.h.i.+fted to a glowing gold and red . A brilliant halo of gold and silver hovered just a few inches above his head . Glowing symbols, bright as the sun, words of an unknown language, appeared on his back and chest like tattoos made of the cosmos .

Night became day, with no sun . Thousands upon thousands of glowing spears of light rose from the ground to hover in the air . The lights formed into swords . Then Clyde spoke in a voice that boomed across the universes, shaking the planets, yet there was no force in that voice . No emotion .

"Blood for blood, your soul shall be mine to claim . "

He gently sat his sleeping friend on the ground . Unaware of Alice and Harumi's intense healing magic even for a hopeless cause, the G.o.d walked at an unhurried pace toward Alucard .

"Kill him!" Alucard yelled, voice shaking, full of uncertainty . None of the monster girls moved .

[Unstoppable pressure . You have inflicted *bloodstained utter terror* upon the mosquito girls . ]

[Unstoppable pressure . ]

[Your enemies do not have the power to damage you . ]

[Unstoppable pressure . ]

"Kill him you idiots!" Alucard yelled as he rapidly backed away .

"Kneel," Clyde said softly . An invisible force seemingly smashed the vampire to his knees .

"KILL HIM!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, but the monster girls instead whimpered, all trembling, rethinking their lives . "I will not die like this!"

"It is wise that you understand, that you will die," the G.o.d said .

[Enemy magic negated upon your presence . ]

Alucard rushed Clyde . Or at least he tried to, but found himself unable to move . The G.o.d grabbed one of the strands of sword-shaped lights .

"First, let me return the favor," Clyde said . He simply appeared in front of the vampire, without even giving the slightest hint of teleporting . He stopped his punch short of his face, knowing that the skull would be sent over thirty thousand years back into time . Literally . No easy death would be given to this ant .

Instead, the G.o.d shoved his hand through Alucard's stomach, grabbing his heart, but he didn't let him die yet . The vampire screamed, agony bubbling through him, blood pouring from his mouth . "Oh, what was that? You do not like the feeling of my hand squeezing your organs?"

Alucard gurgled, but Clyde blocked his death . "Before I take your soul, let me tell you this . I will be killing your clan . Every last one of them, now . First, you attacked this city for nothing and then sealing the deal was your biggest mistake . Any last words? Oh wait, let me pull my hand from your heart . "

Clyde crushed it to goo . With the sword, he lopped off Alucard's head then kicked it in front of the monster girls . They screamed and tried to take off, but it was too late . The sword-shaped lights sprung toward them . Blood rained, screams cried, mercy was refused .

The G.o.d addressed his terrified friends without turning to look at them .

"Fear not . "

As the swords slaughtered, the place lit up as briefly purple flames sprung into existence . Even Alucard's flame engulfed his body, but the soul…well, the G.o.d sent it to a place of the worst torment imaginable .

Clyde stretched his wings and suddenly launched into the air . All of his friends watched in wonder and fear as he took off .

Alice poured everything she had into healing . Harumi was at the half-demoness's side, attempting to stabilize Chika . She just couldn't die—not like this . So much had happened in less than a minute, spiraling her head into a realm of wonder . Her life mate felt…different, vast, impossible . He wasn't the only one changing .

Harumi's aura warped, though she desperately held it back to focus on healing . Tears fell from her eyes . Alice held onto a brave face, but inside, she felt pain . Chika was like a sister to her . She…didn't want to lose her . Not ever . Not like this .

[Chika's HP: 0 . 1%]

[Chika fades…]

Again, and again, Alice tried to heal . Yet, nothing . Nothing changed… Chika was gone . She was really gone .

Tears finally did stream from the half-demoness's eyes, rivers of sorrow, endless .

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Toru said, his voice holding calm panic . "Will the hospi…" His words cut off as he seemed to compose himself, wiping tears of his own away . He appeared to have known Chika longer than both Alice and her life mate .

Her life mate… . would never be himself again . Maybe he'd get over it—this world would force him to do so, but she'd feel his mourning . They both would .

Harumi abruptly stopped, magic gone, and laid her head on top of Chika's chest to let out a cry . And there she wept . They wept . Seth stared at down, cursing and muttering, wis.h.i.+ng that he took the attack instead .

Alice felt hopeless, useless . Something was wrong with her life mate, her human sister pa.s.sed…and she could do nothing . She let out a loud cry for the first time in her life, a cry for both herself and her life mate .

Then… arms pulled Alice into an embrace . Holding the half-demoness…was her mother .
