Chapter 8:Shoot Out at the O.K. Corral(A.K.A. Blood Bath City)
Silence reigned as everyone listened to Sean's story. If you heard it the way he told it, you would cry and laugh right along with them, but Sean's voice still held their attention, through the laughter and tears. And, when the story was finished, you wouldn't have been able to control yourself. You'd feel so sad... especially for Sean.
"Wow..." was all Charlie could say. Then they all stood up and left to relieve the tension. Sean was all alone. A single tear dropped from his eye, but he heard the door close,all the same.
He went down to the training area to work and get his mind off the matter.
* * * * * * * * * * *
The skies over San Fransico darkened with thunderclouds...and the forms of thousands of winged dogs. To most,they were just small birds,but,to the trained observer,they were an army....
Libby had accomplished her part. She spread her wings and flew off, not towards Sean and the RV, but towards New York and her old life. Sean doesn't need me anymore,she thought.
* * * * * * * * * * *
The messenger raced through the deserted corriders to Farren's and Belladonna's door. He knocked, waited for permission, then entered." We have a problem." He described the scene outside and managed one step towards the door before being vaporised. "Whoops. Must have slipped." Belladonna grinned before turning serious once more. "What are we going to do?" She growled at Farren." We're going to take our army out for some target practise." He managed to suppress a grin. "Let's go. Give the order. We march at dawn."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"We're almost ready, sir." said one of the guards." Good...now get some rest.. we'll march at dawn." Sean snarled out. The guard scampered off.. and Sean sank back into the gloom of his insanity...Its been,what, 3000 years since our last major battle? he thought to himself. He smiled and began polishing his swords, finishing the routine cleaning.
Let's see him beat me.was his last happy thought before he sank into the bliss of one of his few dreamless sleeps.

Part 2!
Dawn found a flat plain outside San Fransico as the battleground of a massive battle. On one side, a mix of angelic forces and Death's desciples hoping to save the world. On the other, demons of all sort were lined up rank and file.
The demons were ready for a blood bath, and grew restless with each passing moment. The Death desciples were silent, but you could tell they were just as eager as the demons.
* * * * * * * * * *
"I'm not happy about doing this, but it seems we have no choice. We need your help to defeat this evil." Annabelle snarled. "I'm not happy about this either, but I need your help just as much." Sean said.
They were in Sean's tent. The alliance between the two was an uneasy one, so both had guards outside the tent. The battle was approaching quickly, and both were stressed over the final.preperations. The tension in the air of the tent was so tight that, once it snapped, there was no telling what could happen.
The two dogs stared at each other across the table, which was covered with all manner of battle plans, equitment, and a scale model of the battle field. And suddenly, an almost audible Snap! finaly cut the tension.
"You never did really love me, did you?" Sean snarled,glaring at Annabelle. "You know I did! So don't you dare say I didn't!" she snapped back." You could have visited me! You could have come back! You could have done a lot! But you let me believe I would never see you again! How? How could you have done that to me?!"
Sean finally snapped. He lunged at Annabelle, tackeling her and pinning her to the ground. He looked her directly in the eyes, and a single tear fell from his eyes. "How?" Before she could respond, Sean kissed her.
It wasn't a long, drawn out kiss. But it was enough to leave both of them lightheaded. Then Sean stood up, said,"Forgive me. That was... uncalled for."and he walked out of the tent, grabbing his swords as he went.
Annabelle sat,stunned, for a whole minute, then shook her head and came back to her senses. She grabbed her sword from where she had left it and half-staggered,half-walked out of the tent.
* * * * * * * * * *
Annabelle caught up to Sean as they walked out into the middle of the battleground, with Charlie, Sasha,and the rest of the gang close behind her. Dante was the only one with Sean. For once, he couldn't even pretend to be tough. He had even forgotten his gangsta act. I should've stuck with the others. I'm not cut out for this. Sean sensed what he was thinking, and said," Dante, go back if you wish. I'm doing this alone."
Dante didn't argue. He walked back, each step bringing back a bit more of the old Dante. Sean watched him go before turning back to the demons. He sighed and began walking once more.
* * * * * * * * * *
Farren, Belladonna, Carface, Killer, Redd, and the rest of their group arrived in the center of the battleground at the same time as Sean's. "Well, it looks as though you hope to stop us, brother!" Farren said icily. "I hadn't. But then I remembered the demons. I had to get help, and so... them." he waved his paw at Annabelle and Charlie.
"So be it,then." Farren said darkly. He then spread his wings and launched into the air. Sean smiled and did the same. Belladonna and Annabelle called out the order, and the two armies charged. Before they clashed, the ground began to shake, and a section of the ground rose into the air.
Sean and Farren faced off on this ground, circling each other. "Its been so long since we last fought, brother. And even longer since we fought together." Farren said, feigning 2 slashes with his swords after a long lunge. Sean dodged easily and aimed a blow at Farren's head with the hilt of one of his swords, which Farren easily avoided.
"Yes. Too long,brother. We could have done much together! But its too late now." Sean said as he readjusted and stretched muscles he hadn't used in a while but now needed once more.
The two lunged and parried a few more times, testing each other's defences. Then Farren and Sean both bellowed,"Enough games!"and the real fight began.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Annabelle charged Belladonna and swung her sword, even as Belladonna swung to block it. The two locked in a titanic struggle to finish their swings,then disengaged and swung again. They continued on like this, neither of the gaining the upper hand.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Charlie was surrounded by demons. He was able to hold his own for a while, but he was tiring quickly. He needed help. Suddenly, a figure swooped in and killed several of the demons." Miss me?" Libby said as she helped Charlie fight his way back to the main army.
* * * * * * * * *
The battle was not going well. The demons were getting mowed down faster then they could be replenished. This slaughter had to end. "Fall back! Fall back to the forest!" called out one of the four black-cloaked figures standing far back, watching the battle.
"We said 'Fall back!'!" This time, all four spoke, their voices booming like thunder. This time, they obeyed.
* * * * * * * * * *
Farren heard this order. "Next time, brother.Next time!" Farren growled and flew away. Sean stood panting for a few seconds, then flew down to his army's base camp.
"Damage report?" He asked one of his officers." Several wounded, but, surprisingly, no deaths or mortal wounds." the officer reported. Sean nodded. "Ok. Your dismissed." The officer saluted and walked away. Sean stabbed a still living demon to kill it, pointedly snarling as he did so.
"I need some time to think." He said out loud,then vanished in a puff of smoke.

Part 3
"I thought I'd find you here."
Sean glanced behind him." Hello, Annabelle." he said as she came to lay down beside him. He then looked back to where he'd been looking moments before.
The valley, far below, was large and picturesque. On the northern side was a large forest, with a river flowing through it from the lake on the southern side. In the middle was a large clearing with a medium sized cabin with a chimney attached in the middle. Around the valley was a mountain range, the mountains around the valley being some of the higher ones. These mountains were capped with snow, turning the completely white on top.
Sean sighed. "I'm sure you can't remember this place. Otherwise, you would tell me."
"I remember. How could I forget?" Annabelle said. They sat together in silence for a moment. "I remember how you used to look. Exactly like me, except all cloud white instead of deadly black."
Annabelle smiled." Except,"she said," for 2 black marks in the center of my chest." She placed a paw over the heart-and-diamond pattern of white on Sean's chest." Just like yours."
Sean smiled and placed a paw around Annabelle, hugging her close." Just like mine." He agreed,and kissed her.
All at once,Annabelle began to transform, turning cloud white and growing larger,beginning to look more like Sean than her former whippet form.
When Sean finnaly ended the kiss, Annabelle had finished her transformation. He smiled. "Welcome back,Bre."

I'll leave the story here for now. It should tell every one a lot about my plot.

Thanks. I actually don't think there's a lot I can add to this story. After all, gotta leave something for the next story,right?
