   Fake Wings, Chapter 17!!!!
Here's Fake Wings again!! Sorry, it's real short.

Chapter 17

Minoru and Ian continued their run after Krad, who led them towards the bunker. Tenji, or the Shinigami, as she’d become, was waiting for them their. Sighing, Minoru hoped that they would be able to stop the apocalypse. If not… well, everything would be gone. Coming here would have been for naught. Krad finally reached the bunker, and he entered the special code. The doors slid open, revealing the Shinigami.

“So… you decided to delay me?” Tenji said, her red eyes glaring at the alters, “why aren’t you saving the hunter girl? After all, she’s going to die if you don’t hurry. Grinning, she formed a ball of red energy and threw it at the alters. They rolled out of the way, watching as the ball exploded into several new balls of energy. Every time they made contact with something, they either tore through it or divided again. It was an odd effect, but it managed to distract them while Tenji flew in and hit them with her umbrella.

This sort of thing continued for a while, as Krad slipped out. He ran off to rescue Izayoi, because he knew that the Shinigami could sense upcoming death. Minoru and Ian were left to distract the Shinigami, hoping they could escape this base with at least a few people alive.

“So… you’re a plant too…” Izayoi said, staring at Otomaru as the vines continued to spew from his wound and entangle her, “but… why? How could you do this to yourself?” Otomaru just stared back at her, before bursting out laughing. What was so funny? He wasn’t even remotely human anymore. It was odd; he made it seem like the answer was obvious.

“Power, Izayoi…” Otomaru grinned, “in this world, only the strong survive. That is why I joined Hadden and developed the Hunters. Weed out everyone insufficient; that was our goal. The alters are inferior. They all must die.” Clearly, Otomaru had overlooked the fact that he himself was an alter. Izayoi scoffed and kicked him in the face, trying to wriggle out of the vines. Unfortunately, they only ensnared her further.

“Otomaru!!” Krad shouted, swinging his elbow blades and severing the vines, “leave Izayoi alone!” Otomaru smirked and sent the vines, rewrapping them around Krad. The alter struggled, but soon found himself hopelessly entangled as well. Izayoi, who took advantage of Otomaru’s distraction, swung her nodachi at his waist, separating it from his torso. The boy’s upper body slumped forward, and his waist fell backward. Vines continued to writhe on the floor. Izayoi smirked, glad that she’d done her job.

“Quick… we need to go and get Tenji back. I want to see her once again.” Izayoi said, smiling at Krad. As they approached the door, it slammed shut in their faces. Looking for a cause, they noticed something odd. A creeper vine had pushed the buttons and locked the door! Otomaru began laughing from the floor, the vines sewing through his flesh and reattaching him to his legs. Then, he stood before them again, as though nothing had happened.

“I cannot allow you to stop Shinigami.” Otomaru grinned, “I have worked too hard for you stupid low-lives to stop me!”
