Chapter 9 - Worst of the best.

Ceil was pasting about. She kept that on, even though her brother was working on the human and everyone else was busy.

Then she bit her lip. "COME AT ME!!" She heard Kilo challenged whoever he was talking to.

Her amazing hearing can be for good, and for bad. Right now, it's for good.

Then she switched her attention to her other family.

"Susan said that.. but.."

"Wasn't Ray wrong? I think so."

"Don't worry, I think he's wrong too, Azula. Even though you picked fight side, you didn't want to disappoint Ceil, right?"

Then she stopped there.

"I'm not even busyy.. I'm just bored, ugh. This human isn't even waking up, by goodness sake!"

"Araceli, then just look after your sister, jeez. I can't be busy until the patrol team comes back."

Araceli. Araceli wasn't busy, and Suga obviously wasn't too. Running out of her room in the room tunnel, she memorized the place in her head to get to her brother.

"ARACELI! Araceli?" Ceil called, knowing that she is already in his medical room.

Footsteps sounded as the maybe Araceli raced towards her, and Ceil took a step back.

"What happened, Ceil?" The footsteps had stopped, and Araceli's voice was close to her.

Ceil relaxed her tense posture, then started to explain what is happening to the patrol team.

Silence. Silence so deep you could hear the smallest water drop sound off the floor.

"Wha-" Araceli started until Suga interrupted.

"WE GOT TO RESCUE KI!"

-----

Kilo challenged the humans, who stared in awe at his dramatic entrance and his strange body.

"I SAID COME AT ME!" Kilo repeated, and the original man shook the awe off himself and yelled, "GET HIM!"

Taking his bow, the original man quickly took a arrow from his belts and shot at Kilo's wings.

To the man's surprise, Kilo dodged swiftly and defended himself as he dived right at him.

"THATS A STRANGE SKY CREATURE FOR YOU!" The man yelled as he ran away from the incoming Kilo.

The woman shrieked and dodged Kilo, since she was still standing at the same place as the man.

The chestnut hair man pulled out a sword, and swung it at Kilo. Kilo bent down and the sword swung right over his head, cutting a few hairs off his head.

Using his tail, he stood up straight quickly and turned in a circle, knocking the chestnut head down. Then, he saw a silver glow shining at the corner of his eye.

Turning swiftly, he was able to dodge that arrow, but the short girl instantly landed a punch on his gray wing, which crippled a little under the influence.

"I got his gray wing, Alex!" She cried happily until she was sent flying as Kilo returned the glister with a harder fist.

"A-" Then she landed in a bush just 2 growth away from Berry's unconscious body.

Kilo furiously opened his wing then spreaded them wide. The other 3, Dave, Alex and the other woman were on defensive now.

Alex looked to the bushes where Abi landed, then called to her quickly, saying, "Abigail, are you alright?"

Only a grunt was heard.

Kilo narrowed his dark purple eyes, looking right at Abigail's bush. Then, when he thought it was safe, he lunged at Dave, who was quick to react to the attack.

If Kilo is a Demigod, then he will have more power. Or, it might just be the unthinkable. He never got to get his power to the fullest-

Kilo, now thinking like Ravan, dodged a arrow and turned quickly to the hot pink and blonde head, whipping her off her feet as she tried to attack.

Because he died early, Ravan resumed his thinking, or he has to be a certain age to unlock the potential. If he is already this strong at 8, then is he stronger when he's gonna to be 10?

Ravan got back to the fight, but then he stepped on a trap.

He never knew it was there! Kilo gasped as he was captured in a net.

"Yes! I did it!" The blonde woman yelled. She did what?? Kilo stared at her in confusion but soon spotted right behind her some ropes in the shadow of the woman.

She made a trap that quickly?? Kilo thought in disbelief. He actually thought she had no purpose for being here! In the trap, he suddenly saw gray wings at the edge of his vision.

Oaka?? Oak!! It's Oaka! Why is he so slow!?

Kilo wanted to break out of the ropes and run to help Oaka, but he just knew that was a extremely stupid idea, if he wanted to give his family away.

So, he just waited silently as Dave, blonde head, Alex, and the literal definition of bush Abigail cheered.

His wings ached, his tail hit legs, so it obviously ached, his head drooped,and since he wasn't energized anymore by a fight, he felt tired.

"So, what type of species is this guy?" Abigail approached Kilo, curious but defensive.

"I have no idea. He's beautiful. Is he even a boy?" Dave asked, sounding highly optimistic. 

"Could be, but not quite sure. He looks young, plus, his voice was definitely a boy's." Alex said, looking at Kilo from a safe distance in the moonlight that reflected curiosity from his face.

"He has feathers, not just silky, colorful wings. What species are you, boy?" Alex asked Kilo.

"Not gonna say it." Kilo murmured sleepily. 

The four exchanged a oh, he's stubborn glance, then started to guess his species

Then finding space, he wrapped his wings around him to sleep.

*****

Dave stared at the strange Sky creature has it wrapped its wings around it.

"What's it doing?" Abi asked, looking at Dave for an answer.

I don't know! He sneered at Abi by mistake, but she didn't look like she cared.

"Well, what do we do now?" Kayla asked Dave. Then she turned over her blonde hair, which wasn't really blonde in the moonlight.

"Guys, it might be a new species to discover, don't you know that?" Alex suddenly suggested, and everyone turned their heads to look at him. He warily pointed to the bloodied feather, then Dave got what he was trying to say.

"Yea, I don't think anyone actually confessed there is a feathered Sky creature. Well, like, there's birds and everything, but was feather wings ever on a human looking creature with a tail? I don't think so." Dave proved Alex's claim with his theory.

"Ok, but then doesn't it sound too familiar?" Kayla put her hands in the air and stretched. Abi shrugged. "Doesn't it?" 

"Well.." Alex muttered as he tried to remember correctly. "The- the legend of Fallen Angels? Them? I think…" 

Kayla looked at Alex in surprise. "Fallen Angels? No, it's Space birds! I was talking about the legend of Space birds. What's that other one you just suggested to me? It sounds stupid." She looked at the Sky creatures wings.

"Oh.. the legend of Fallen Angels does sound stupid, even the god and goddess said it was a fake. But, it's just that I think.." He really looked at the strange Sky creatures wings, the gray one at that. Then he realized.

"THAT'S A FALLEN ANGEL! WHY DOES IT HAVE A WHITE WING AND TAIL??" He screamed.

Dave jerked his head from the gray and white wing to Alex. "Fallen Angels have gray wings??" He asked, concerned.

"Fallen Angels- Fallen Angels usually don't have white and gray wings. Actually, they never do. It's only gray wings." Alex calmed down and said.

Dave was still suspicious. "Well, then it can be a different species."

"No, I'm very certain it's a Fallen Angel." Confidence was stuck onto Alex's words.

"How?" Dave asked, then exchanged glances with Kayla.

"Birdtail man doesn't have these big of wings, do they?" Alex offered for one of them to speak. And when they didn't, he continued in the glow of the moon, "yea, they for sure don't. Space birds have bigger wings, but these one are smaller and isn't connected to its- his arms." Alex made it clear that this was definitely a Fallen Angel species, and that this one in particular was a boy.

Dave shrugged, then concluded, "ah, ok. Then this one's wings will make a lot of money?" He looked back at the wings, then strided up to the net to touch it.

"Yes, it is... But!" Kayla and Dave looked back at Alex. Abigail was walking back to her brother too, but stopped when he shouted.

"We will make more if we sell him whole. At the slave market or carven." Kayla's eyes shone in the cool moonlight, suggesting the idea about selling there.

Abigail stubbornily cross her arms, then looked up at her brother. "Brother, why there? I thought you said you were never going to sell anything there? Are you lying??" Abigail flicked her eyes to Alex's.

He hesitanted.

"I can sell it, then we can spilt the money we get into 3 batches." Kayla smirked, rubbing her hands together.

"I will come with you, Kayla." Dave offered slyly. Kayla's smirk disappeared quickly. "Ok."
