Chapter 2 - CLASH OF WINGS

The Air tightens as the tension between the fallen angel and angel was horrific.

They even shaked divinity itself. The entire train itself begins to shake because of the sense of a holy war about to commence.

James the Fallen Angel stands firm, legs like they were bolted downwards. He stands solid as a rock, then his wings unfold and they are black, dark and crooked like they were cursed. Immediately his fingers twitch and his nails turns to crimson.

The entire students turn to the scene, some are shocked, some willing to find out what happens next while... others cower in fear behind their seats.

Zack standing right infront of him but at a friendly distance; rolls his shoulders and afterward his halo glitches inward and outward like it was bad wifi. Immediately his eyes become lit with righteous flame.

"You said you want her.. but the bitter truth is..... you just want her to be one of your loyal servants... in bed" James says this as he cracs his knuckles, it echoes through the dimension like thunder.

He continues...

"Angels like that of your nature hide behind silence and sermons, church services and devoctions to God, but you know what the bittersweet twist to this is?.... It's the fact that i can see your soul...your filthy and restraint soul" James ended with rage.

"At least I still have somehting to hold on to, I have a soul unlike you who traded yours... for what?... for ego the very moment that Heaven Cast You Out!!!" Zack says this then afterwards draws out the quill; the quill is magnificent, blinding the demons in the train to even behold, it glows gold as the scriptures spin in the air.

He continues...

"....And now you want to try to touch her, even court her on top of that... with those filthy, once blessed hands that now defile, those hands you no longer lift in prayer, the hands that touched Heaven once and recoiled it, you drag those hands through sin and hope that no one would see you.... Don't you dare reach out for her using those uncircumsized corrupt claws of yours... that even Heaven had to turn its face when you once touched divinity with those stained claws of yours. You don't even deserve to be in the same world as her breath" Zack replied James' counter-attacks.

James grinning said; "Oh, what's this i smell?...Jealousy... it suits you.....let's see if your pious guilt can block the punch of my uncircumsized, filthy, unworthy hands of mine"

ROUND 1: Feathers and Fire

James, the unholy one, attacks first, using his corrupted wings to slice through the air lie twin blades.

Immediately, he vanishes middair and later appears behind Zack landing him a punch charged with fallen starlight.

Zack bobs down, countering the attack with a spin, as he writes a golden circle in the air, which blasts James back with a dangerous holy light and hymns that make demons bleed and tremble.

This makes James to hit a seat, he then flips middair, and lands solid onto the ground with his feet, then laughs....annoyingly.

"Oh, so we're now using Scripture Magic right? that looks cute". James says this as he summons a whip of ash and feather, it lashes Zack, but...Zack blocks it, barely, as it scorched his arm, this made his halo sputter.

ROUND 2: Verbal Physical Assault

"You dont like her, neither do you care about her, you just want a new reason to be rebellious" Zack says this in anger and rage, he is not happy about James liking the same girl he likes, if not for anything, he can't be seen courting the same girl with his sworn enemy.... The Fallen Angel.

"You're wrong, I do care, but it's hard with beings like you always judging and misunderstanding us, it's hard y'know? Caring when everyone always thinks you're the villian just because your wings fell off!!?" James says as he rams Zack into the ceiling, as he does this, steel cracks.

After this, Zack regains stamina and drives his knees into James' gut then slashes through James' chest with his glowing scriptures and scripts- the letters burn unto his skin like divine demonic tattoos: WRATH. PRIDE. LUST.

INTERRUPTION

Suddenly, they all hear a holographic voice echoing through the train:

Warning: A Celestial Duel has been detected. Stabilizers offline in Car 6. Passengers advised to evacuate.

Valarie smirks while still in her seat. "Looks like the boys are fighting...again...Lara, grab thepopcorn" she said.

"Nah, I'm gonna bet on the fallen one... he hits like daddy issues" Lara responds

ROUND 3: Judgement Breaker

James then lifts his head, then afterward, the shadows around his fingers form a black crown above his head.

"Zack let me teach you something about free will, may I..." James says this as he crushes the air, then a portal of cursed memory begins to open behind Zack. It shows Zack as a child, crying, abandoned, lonely, abandoned, and unworthy.

Zack sees this then begins to shake. "How dare you look into my past?" he asked, almost trembling

"I ripped them open, you actually think that you're better than me? You are just a scared little choirboy with daddy's approval!!" James replied excited and waiting for what would happen next.

Zack screams loudly, then his wings erupt in full, he throws the judgement quill like a spear, which pierced through James' chest but he grabs it, pulls it out and licks the blood.

"Delicious. TASTES lIKE Repression" James replied Zack's attacks with those words.

CLIMAX

The both angels stare at each other, badly bruised and torn, breathing heavily.

"This ends here. I'll either fight you in Heaven, In Hell or the hallway" Zack says to James. "Then fight me...in her heart" Zack replies.

The entire train jolts.

Immediately, the train arrives at the school. Alloutte stands, hoodie still over her head, her eyes glow faint blue and then her card is no longer blank.

Her card hovers over her bag.

It then flashes, showing:
