Peace.
Lucifer's wings extended out, at full expansion they were over 12 feet long, crooked, and pitch black. He straightened himself and dusted his shoulders slowly. "You have strength, I'll not underestimate you again, I promise you this boy, you will die this time." Barton held his hand out, his palm facing Lucifer. Lucifer couldn't stop himself from snickering, "What's this, some kind of attack?" Barton stared at the king of evil coldly as he spoke, "You have 5 chances to kill me, if in 5 attacks you fail, I will end your miserable existance." "You're far too cocky boy, I understimated you,nothing more."
A black flame slowly formed around Lucifer, it circled his body slowly at first, but quickly built up speed. He reached his hand through the fire, as he did the flames went into his hand and molded themselves into a pitch black sword with a light red jewel in the center of the hilt. He brought the sword up until its tip was pointed at Barton, "This would be your chance to beg for mercy." He charged Barton, bringing the sword back and swinging it with all of his might, his intent was to bring it down on his head and cleave him in two. To his surprise, and everyone elses, the sword did impact Barton's head, but the sword cracked and shattered to pieces. Lucifer backed away and looked at what little remained of his sword, only looking up when Barton spoke. "One." Lucifer all but growled in anger as the sword reformed itself, the blade was more thick, and the guard spiked down around his hand. He charged again, this time trying to bring the blade swinging through Barton's midsection. His eyes went wide with fear as the blade bounced off Barton and cracked in two at the hilt. "Two."
Without hesitating Lucifer brought his hand to Barton's face and sent black flames shooting forth, engulfing his body. While the flames burned, he brought shadows from all around the battlefield and turned them into spikes, hurling them at the flaming Barton. The spiked passed through his fiery form and the flames quickly died down. Barton dusted his left shoulder off as he smiled at Lucifer, "4". Enraged, Lucifer charged Barton, his fist clenched and drawn back, throwing all of his strength into the blow, struck Barton in the face. The ground cracked under the pressure of the attack, Lucifer smiled, hopeful of his attack. His hope was dashed as he lowered his fist, the only damage done was a bit of blood running down Barton's forehead. "5." Lucifer doubled over in pain as Barton's fist was brought up into his stomach. Barton grabbed Lucifer's head and brought his knee up into his face, sending him back a couple of feet. "You don't seem to understand that you've lost Lucifer." As Lucifer straightened himself and tried to talk back, he was grabbed from behind, as he turned to look, he saw what he thought was Barton covered in a rock like armor. "I must not have lost, you have to wear that armor." "Fool, that's not armor." Everyone turned back to the original Barton, still standing in the same spot. No one could seem to grasp that there was indeed two Bartons.
"How..How are there two of you?" "One of the benefits of my powers, I can clone myself in one of the elements I control, that is a clone of me, with all the power of earth under his command." Lucifer's eyes were wide in fear and disbelief, his mind racing with questions. "This one is my control of wind." Slowly a small gust of wind picked up next to Barton, growing equal in size to him and taking on his form, only he was transparent and had a green tint to his body. "Every element can be cloned,except for time and space, meaning I could have 9 of me on the field, my original, and 8 elemental clones. You never stood a chance against me." As he spoke, he indeed cloned himself in every element, each one appearing in a circle around Lucifer. "Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Ice, Lightning, Light, and Shadow, individually they probably couldn't beat you, but with all attacking in unison, I doubt you'll be much of a threat." As he spoke his fire and light forms mixed together to create an almost blinding white flame Barton. The new Barton grabbed Lucifer with the Earth clone and self destructed on him, a sphere of white fire engulfing Lucifer. The king of evil screamed in agony as the flames ate at his body, trying to consume him. After what seemed like an eternity to him, the water clone touched the sphere and soon Lucifer was drowning in a sphere of water. His body was burned and bleeding as it looked like he would drown to death. The lightning form jumped into the sphere with Lucifer and instantly he was being eletrocuted. Blood seeped from his mouth as the water dissipated and he fell to the ground. The remaining clones disappeared inside Barton as he walked towards his all but vanquished foe.
"Lucifer, I could take your life with ease, I don't know what would happen though, would you go to hell, would you cease to exist, or would you just regenerate and try again?" Lucifer couldn't answer, his mind was shattered, his body broken. His soul had been taken to a small but beautiful garden, flowers were arranged in rows, roses, tulips, dandelions. Lucifer sat up slowly and shook his head as a soft and gentle voice spoke to him. "Still want to try for revenge? You played your trump card, and lost to one of mine." Lucifer looked at the ground and sighed, "You talk as if everything was a game, all the things I did, I did for my dream, and now its all for naght." "Mhm, not really, you learned something today did you not?" "Tch, only that you cheat." "Maybe so, but you broke the rules by being on the land of the living. I couldn't leave that unchecked, so I had to show you that you can't just do as you please." "So everything I did was in vain, I still don't get to return home, and I lost to a child." The voice laughed, "You lost because he was a child. His mind isn't like a regular warriors, its free to be creative with his abilities, as you just saw he's very clever." Lucifer punched the ground before laying back. "Now what, I go back to being the caretaker of hell?" "Pretty much, you may be evil but you provide a needed service, you keep demons and evil souls in check, that much only you can do." "Tch, I'm your janitor then, I clean up the dirt of the world." "I can find you a replacement if your tired of existing?" "Just send me back before my pride hurts anymore than it already does." "As you wish, but know this, if you try this again, I won't interfere to save you a second time."
In a flash of light, Lucifer's body was gone, the demon bodies were also wiped away. Barton looked everywhere, thinking maybe his foe still had a trick or two. A hand on his shoulder told him it was ok. "Barton, it's over, my boss just took care of the cleanup." Calus smiled as he let go of Barton's shoulder. "He told me you won, but he saved Lucifer so he could continue being the overseer of the underworld. It's unlikely he will try again, I guess being defeated by so thoroughly is..."Barton fainted before he could finish. Bria ran to his body, afraid for his life, only to see Calus and Kiro smiling. "He's fine, just..fatigued seems to fit him right now. He's mentally and physically drained, his clone ability puts a great strain on him. But with some sleep he will be fine."
Sleep Barton did, almost two full days he slept, Kiro and Bria stayed next to him the whole time. When Barton did wake, he was back at his home, Nadi was downstairs with Calus cooking, Kiro and Bria at his bedside. "Ah looks like my student is awake finally, how do you feel?" Barton grabbed his head and shook it groggily as he sat up, "Mhm...a headache and some muscle pain, other then that I feel ok." Bria had cuddled in next to him and had a death grip on his arm. He stroked her hand softly as Kiro spoke, "Well now that you won, what will you do, the world is still plagued by some of the Haven remnants, but other then that everything is as it should be." Barton looked up and sighed, "Vacation." Kiro laughed and nodded, "Yes I suppose I'd want one if I was in your position, don't worry about Haven, now that Heaven is no longer in danger, several angels have been dispatched to take care of them, its only a matter of time. Guess it's time for you to be a family man now." Barton laid back and nodded, "Mhm, but if you guys need me, I'm here." Kiro nodded, "You sleep more, food will be ready in a couple of hours."
The world over people made claims of seeing Angels, brightly dressed in armor,with beautiful white wings and amazing golden hair. Everytime a claim was made, they always said the same thing, they were fighting men in black robes, whose bodies disappeared upon their death. Soon the claims faded, all but memories for people to pass on to children. In a few short months Bria gave birth to two children a shock to all. Barton named the male child Vance, Bria named the female child Vivian. They kids took after Barton in terms of looks, they looked completly human, but they had bright blue hair and red eyes. The couple stayed with Nadi, who welcomed the children as if they were her own. Calus returned to Heaven to continue watching over Barton in secret. Kiro stayed with the couple, a sort of trainer and guardian for Barton and the family. The world was at peace, a well earned peace, as Barton grew up, he secretly defended cities and his own family several times. But his life was peaceful and full of love, the way his parents wanted for him. He passed away at an old age and was burried on the same farm he spent his life, Bria buried next to him, and Nadi next to her. His children carried on his ways of defending the earth, each carrying half of their father's strength. Kiro stayed with them, until they grew up and had their own familys. The tale of Barton is known only to a certain few, and every Pokemon in the world, but most of them wont tell anyone the truth.Chapter End Notes:Depending on the results of this story I think I may try to do one for either Kiro or Calu
