Wow, the end is finally here for this story. I never realized it would be this long... didn't know so many people would like it either. Strange, it seems that people like these twisted little fics of mine the most... oh well... looks like I'll just have to keep writing these kind of stories.

Fallen Angels, Rising Devils

Epilogue: Endings

      As the sun slowly rose on a new day, a golden eyed youth sat wide-awake starring as the sky changed from an orange-pink to a beautiful sapphire blue. Slowly gentle white clouds drifted across the sky, the early morning breezes brought the salty yang of the seas water to his nose.

      Yet... none of this was on Tenshi's mind, he cast a look at the sleeping Kai and thought about the end of the fight... Noche... and how he had almost lost Kai. Kai would never know of this last part, only Tenshi and the departed demon would know this.

      Closing his eyes, he remembered the last part of the battle.

~

      Tenshi/Dragoon gritted his teeth as he slammed into Noche; the demon's eyes were wide in surprise not expecting so much power from the merged being.

      Both being were flung apart by the massive force of the explosion that caused, Tenshi/Dragoon shielded his eyes trying to not to loose his sight to the bright light. Finally he uncovered them, Flying lower now was a heavily breathing Noche... but what truly caught Tenshi/Dragoon attention was a very limp figure in his arms.

      "No," he breathed in terror, but it was true... Kai's body was covered in terrible wounds and crimson liquid trickled down his body and even across Noche's arms that held him.

      Tenshi/Dragoon wanted to scream and wail, in his haste he had badly injured his koi... who was now near death.

      "Kai," he breathed, it was at that moment that the demon's wings failed... a now very weak Noche fell towards the sea... and when he hit it would mean both would die.

      Without thinking Tenshi/Dragoon spread his wings to there fullest and seemed to defy the rule of speed... in moments he had caught both Kai and Noche.

      Moments later he had located a tropical island and landed on it; he soon got the two unconscious in comfortable positions. But it was too late, as he could only watch... Kai died... his life force leaving his body for eternity.

      In his grief Tenshi/Dragoon un-merged, Tenshi didn't even notice that his wings had healed because of the merge. He cried silently over the corpse, this was one of the reasons he had never come back to his friends after he changed into Tenshi... he had been having dreams since tat day of Kai dying.

      And now it had happened, and it was his fault.

      "Why..." a weak voice suddenly asked, startled Tenshi turned to see that Noche was awake but also near death due to the angels final attack.

      "Why what?" Tenshi asked in a grief filled voice; the demon looked back at him with puzzled eyes.

      "Why did you save me... you could of just saved the human, then you would of had time to save him them?" Noche asked puzzled, Tenshi frowned not understanding it either, as it was he could have just saved Kai.

      "I don't know..." Tenshi said puzzled, Noche looked at him then the demon suddenly smiled... not his usual smile but a smile of understanding... understanding of what he didn't know.

      "I see now," Noche said, then to Tenshi's surprise Noche struggled to his feet and made it to Tenshis side and sat down beside where Kai's forever silent body lay.

      "What do you mean?" Tenshi asked confused, the demon only smirked.

      "Nothing you will understand yet angel, but if we don't hurry your little boyfriend will truly die," Noche said, Tenshi blinked and looked at the demons face... there was something different about the demon at this moment.

      "How, he's dead," Tenshi said dejectedly, Noche snorted.

      "Stupid angel, he's at the edge... and if you don't help he will fall over and die," Noche sneered, Tenshis face brightened and he sat down next to the demon next to Kai.

      "How... how do we save him?" Tenshi begged; the demon smirked but his eyes held no luster only tiredness. With Noches guidance Tenshi did the greatest thing he would ever do in his life, together a demon and angel saved a life.

      "We did it," Teshi said happily as Kai's wounds healed and he began to breath: color was quickly returning to his loves face. Yet no answer came from Noche, quickly he turned to looked at Noche and he gasped. Noche lay on the ground silently eyes half-open; he looked at Tenshi a strange look on his face.

      "Whats wrong, if you could save Kai's life... why aren't you healing your own..." Tenshi cried, he didn't understand this... this was his enemy but he felt grief at this moment.

      "I... I... didn't heal him angel; he really was dead... I used you as a Catalyst to transfer my life force to his... we brought him back from the dead," Noche laughed weakly, he then coughed up blood... quickly Tenshi gathered the demon in his arms and made Noche as comfortable as he could.

      "Why... why did you did you do this, why would you save him when your suppose to kill me and let the demons free?" Tenshi asked grief filling his voice once more, to his surprise Noche smiled.

      "Because... I see it now, you said it before... were brothers. I never had a brother before, in hell no ones cares enough to even help another," Noche whispered, he coughed violently coughing up more blood.

      "But Noche, there is so much more you could see and learn..." Tenshi whispered, Noche reached up a hand and gently touched Tenshi's face... a wistful look came to his face.

      "I wish I could, but I see now that demons are not needed on earth. Far in the future will be the demon's turn true, but only when all life has giving up and the end has come. I'm not needed, you and your friends are needed now," Noche said between coughs, Tenshi was crying now... he was about to loose another brother who he hadn't even gotten time to know.

      "Noche... still, but why?" he whispered, Noche let go of the angels face.

      "That's what brothers do, forgive me," Noche whispered, then he was gone for eternity... leaving Tenshi alone with the sleeping revived Kai.

      "I forgive you brother," Tenshi whispered, and he would never forget the demon who'd have destroyed them... who had saved his heart.

~

      Tenshi paid one last visit to the grave where he had buried Noche, when he came back to their small camp Kai was awake and waiting for him.

      "Ready to head back?" Kai asked with a smile, Tenshi nodded and spreading his wings flew them home... never telling Kai of the grief in his heart or what had truly happened after that last attack.

***

      There was a joyous reunion when they got back, a group of three waited for them as they landed.

      "You did it, you saved us all," Max said happily, Tenshi smiled his eyes sad but in this moment no one noticed. He cast a glance at the ruins; they were nothing but bits of rubble. No more evil feelings came off it, and for once after three years the sun shone warmly on the area the tower had stood and shadowed.

      "It's a new start from here," Tenshi said, the others nodded. It was at this moment that the angelic being started to walk to the rubble in the distance, Max and Kenny stated to follow him.

      "Don't," Kai said, they stopped and looked startled at there leader.

      "Why?" Kenny asked, Kai looked at the ruins sadly.

      "He has to do this for himself, there's something else he had to do," Kai said, their gazes saddened as they once again remembered something.

      "Tala, he didn't make it," Ray whispered, Kai sighed and looked to the now farer away Tenshi.

      "Tenshi, well meet you in Blue dragon valley when your ready," Kai called, Tenshi looked back and nodded.

      "Lets go, we have a long way to go," Kai said, then the four of them headed off to grieve... and also to heal.

***

Three weeks later:

      In a small hospital in a far away hospital a red haired figure slowly woke, opening blurry blue eyes he blinked till they cleared.

      "Wha..." Tala said throat dry, suddenly a glass of water attached to someone's came into view. Greatfully he took it, he sipped it careful not to drink it to fast.

      "You were out of it pretty badly, for awhile we thought you'd die... but Tenshi said you'd be fine," a soft voice said, Tala turned and finally saw the owner of the voice.

      A boy around twelve or thirteen sat at his head, he had long green hair and startling light green-blue eyes. There was something off about the boy, something almost like himself.

      "How..." he said startled: the last thing he remembered was being buried painfully under the collapsing tower.

      "Don't worry about that now Mr. Tala, at the moment you need lots of rest and sleep... after all its not often people get a second chance," the boy said, Tala felt himself drifting off to sleep... but he had to ask one last thing.

      "Who are you?" he asked, the boy smiled.

      "I'm Zeo, Tenshi chose me to teach you to live again," the boy said, Tala smiled as he fell asleep... he might not have Tenshi but it looked like Tenshi was still looking after him.

***

      Kai sighed, three weeks and Tenshi had only returned three days ago.

      His angel had not told him of what had happened since they had separated, he could only guess that after burying Tala the love had wanted to be alone for a bit.

      "Are you sure you want to do this?" Kai asked the Chinese member of there little group; Ray nodded.

      "Yeah, I have to. I got word that some of my clan is alive, I have to find them... the white Tigers will live again," Ray said, at his side Max smiled.

      "I'm going to keep him out of trouble," Max said, from the way Rays ears suddenly turned red Max was probably going to be doing more then that.

      "Good luck you two," Tenshi said, after they two left they turned to Kenny. They already knew where he was going, Tenshi would be taking him to a hidden place where Kenny would be researching a cure for changed one and a way to bring back technology. Mind you Kai had a feeling not all changed ones would want their cure, Tenshi he knew would keep their new forms.

      Since that day the changed ones minds were returning quickly to sane humans minds, soon peace would return to the ravaged world... or at least as much as it could. Already more scientists were coming out of hiding, they would be joining Kenny.

      In a flash Kenny and Tenshi vanished to the place Kenny would be staying, when Kai had learned of this ability he had asked Tenshi why he hadn't used it to get then back quicker. The angel had blush, his reply was that he had forgotten about that... Kai had face-faulted at that.

      Finally tenshi was back; it was there turn now.

      "Where to?" Tenshi asked smiling, Kai looked at the sky and smiled.

      "Wherever the wind blows," Kai replied; Tenshi smiled and in a flash of light the two vanished... not to be seen for a very long time.

~

      Three years later the world finally regained technology due to the scientists hard work, also cures were slowly given to the changed ones who wished it giving back there human bodies.

      The humans had learned much in that time and didn't cause environmental problems this time around, they had a fresh start and they were going to start the right way.

      Over the next few years the white Tiger clan survivors finally regrouped, more people joined and the white Tigers grew... they would survive for generations to come. Max and Ray finally became and official couple, Kenny became famous for his work to restore technology and the cures.

      Some sightings were made of Tenshi and Kai, but no one was sure if it was them: but legends of an angel with a human helping the weak followed for generations.

      Another rumor did appear though, of a red haired teen and a green haired boy who would suddenly appear like ghosts to stop anyone from trying to continue where Biovault ended.

      Only one person truly knew who these two were, Tenshi laughed happily to the bewilderment of Kai when he heard of these 'ghosts'. After all, it looked like Tala had learned to live again.

THE END

FH: Finally the end, hope you liked the ending, as you can tell the ending was more mushy then you expected. As it is, I liked Noche and I wanted him to see the light so to say in the end before he died. Hope you liked the part of Kai dying and being brought back, it was total inspirational... it appeared in a dream and just screamed to be written.

R.Calumon: Thanks to all our fans, we won't give names since there are too many. But don't cry because it's the end, FH will write more beyblade stories... just not in the same story universe as this beybalde fic.
