Long Night

This will be a long night. It started to rain too. Most of the seaside town is asleep. Those who aren’t asleep have their own challenges to face.

-Angel Administration-

They have to be the bad guy. Otherwise, Sakura could kill everyone in Mars. She should’ve been dead six months ago. How could’ve they let it go this far? They have decided to end this tonight. Frankie already failed them. Now, they have to act on their own.

But now, some of them in their ranks don’t seem so sure anymore. There is no room for being uneasy. This was like the war. Only, there was only one enemy this time. The administration flies over the city invisible.

“Everyone stay close!” the leader commanded. “Keep your eyes open on her.”

“Right!” they said. They each split off to cover more ground. Four groups circled the seaside town. They can feel her near. But, the night has gotten so dark that…

Wait!

One angel looked up. The thick clouds grew heavier with the rain. Up until now, the angel had been ignoring the rain falling on her wings. She strained her ears to take a listen. She shivered as everything grew silence around.

“Everyone!” she shouted. Her party didn’t hear her, but they could look around and see it for themselves. All of the angels sped up in their flight.

-Kaze-San and Pancha-

They sit on the sidelines. They can’t do anything, but wait. Spike has to be the one to stop this. They themselves had the final pieces to the puzzle. The ladies needed to try and reach the cowboy before they all ended up dead. Kaze-San turned to Pancha.

“Do you still have enough power to make contact?” she asked. The guardian bowed her head. She sank down to her knees and held out her hand. Kaze-san walked over to her hand maiden as Pancha started chanting under her breath. The sea angel started glowing a bright green. Kaze-san touched her on the shoulder. She moved her free hand to her chest. I’m so sorry to do this to you, Spike. But this is the only way. Forgive me, darling.

She cleared her mind. Spike-san. Can you hear me?

-Spike and Old Memories-

The cowboy froze. Kaze-san’s voice filled his head.

Spike. Spike, can you hear me?

The cowboy turned his head. Kaze-san appeared in front of him in a cloud of mist.

“Kaze-san?” he asked.

“Spike, listen to me,” she said. “You have to help Sakura. I can take you to her right now.” The ghost held out her hand.

“Where is she now?” the cowboy asked. Kaze-san grabbed his wrist. A wave of light blue light flashed and swallowed him inside. It felt like a haze of bullets was attacking his head. He saw meadow with a lone cherry tree on a hill. A man dressed like he was going to war stood with his back to him.

Is that…

The man turned around.

“Don’t fight it,” Kaze-san said. “Let it take you.” Spike vanished into thin air. Kaze-san herself followed behind.

-Sakura-

Meanwhile, Sakura lay in poisoned her darkness. She yanked open her eyes.

“They here…” she mumbled.
