THE GAME
CHAPTER EIGHT
THE CLEARING REACHED

Rai sat up, and looked over at her Rapidash, which had actually not suffered much pain.
She helped it up by it's bridle and got back on. She noticed that the clearing was ahead,
only by about half a mile. 

She urged Rapidash towards the ground, and they headed for the clearing at mid-speed. 
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Korey and Kerry. 

**********

"A One Winged Angel? That's an Angel from Hell. An Angel of Satan. 
One that willingly turned against God in the beginning. If we're dealing with
biblical stuff, Pokemon won't cut it."

"What will?" Kerry asked.

"A miracle." Rai replied, looking back up at the pitch black sky. 
"One thing to do. Don't provoke that guy. It was my fault he came."
"He doesn't like his game being interrupted." she finished.

"That's not good." Korey sat down. 

"Right." Rai nodded. The three sat down and looked off at the mountain.
"We're not going anywhere for awhile." Rai admitted. 

"Why not?" Kerry asked, puzzled.

"Because I want to talk to that bastard."

"That isn't exactly safe." Korey threw in.

"Who cares?" Rai began flaming. "We only have less than half a month
to win this thing and send that thing and it's stupid race back to
Hell, and when the eclipse comes, they'll lose!" 

"If the eclipse marks the end of the game, than we need to start worrying!"
Kerry pointed at the moon, which was almost totally covering the sun.

"What the Hell! We were supposed to have a month!" Korey flipped through
the Player's List. The page he looked at said plainly: SNAKES LIE. "DAMMIT!"

Rai shook her head. "YOU! NAMELESS BEING! APPEAR BEFORE US AND TELL US WHAT'S
GONNA HAPPEN IF YOU HAVE SO MUCH CONTROL!" 

The dark angel did not appear, but it spoke to them.

YOU WILL LOSE. 
BECAUSE I HAVE CONTROL
OVER THIS PLANET.
THE ECLIPSE WILL COME
WHEN I WANT IT TO.
AND YOU WILL ALL DIE.

"Lies..." Korey growled.
Rai nodded. "YOU LIE SNAKE! AFRAID TO TELL US THE TRUTH??!!"

I SPIT TRUTH FROM MY MOUTH.

"LIAR."

YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME?

"Damn straight." Kerry growled.

THEN I WILL PROVE TO YOU THAT YOU WILL LOSE.

"Silver Angel." Korey announced. 

Everyone looked at Korey like he was an idiot. 
Silver Angel was a song that Rai wrote.

"Silver Angel...advisor of the trapped in darkness.
Silver Angel set me free. Silver Angel deliverer of
those trapped in darkness. The Silver Angel fought 
the black Angel one day... before the moon."

"A day. A day. Before the moon? I wrote a prophecy..."

"Well, Angel dude. You lose. You know why?" Korey smirked.

I LOSE?

"Because the Silver Angel kicks your ass."
