Melrose Faith.




Mel sighed as he held the pendant in his hand, his mother had made sure Sparrow flew right then when he told her what was going on, now he just needed to make it stronger, it could withstand two archs, he needed it to withstand four. "Thanks mom." He whispered to himself as he drew the angelic rune for celestial power on the ground, then placed the circular golden disk, shaped into a pendant above it, moonstone ore north, stardust south, mana from nature east, and the protection runes west, he placed them all in order then allowed the glamour on his body to fade away, he knew he needed to concentrate to get this right and a glamour would take away from that. The symbol beneath resonated with his power once he poured energy onto it, the moonstone ore was first, it liquidized itself and moved over to the pendant, molding itself into the gold by his will, then stardust sparkled and moved into the air before it sprinkled itself onto the moonstone infused pendant, green tented waves of mana spiraled into the what was now a gem that gleamed with power, it changed its colour into the shades of a rainbow as the triquetra etched itself on either side of the pendant, lastly were the runes of protection that burned onto the endges of the pendant and created it's chain making the binding unbreakable.








Mel knew what ever would happen the relic he had just created by his will with celestial power would stop the other arcs from ganging up on Necmi, whatever they were planning, it would protect him. So he sighed, then waved his hand over his body placing the glamour back on, it wasn't yet time, the world couldn't know that all six next heads of the great houses were at Harwin, even if the demon which would attack soon knew, he just had to hope. Deciding to get some sleep, Mel rolled onto his bed, he knew tomorrow was going to be a long day, in fact a long week since the battles were taking place according to hierarchy, though Harry just had to make the arch angels go first since it's the one battle everyone was anticipating, he wanted to give them a show. Hopefully it wouldn't go sideways, crash and burn, he could only have faith.



the next day ~ Arena.

It was what you expected when titans clashed without violence on the spectators, everyone wanted to see who was the stronger one, who would stand tall above the rest, who would remain standing when all was said and done. "I can't wait, I'm so excited, go Necmi!" Laurie yelled bouncing up and down next to her boyfriend, he was just as excited but less loud about it, they all were anticipating an outcome which was in their favour, but this was a battle with powerful individuals who would either honour their families or destroy themselves trying to get that honour, it was a tough situation.










Inside the dome created for the purpose of containing power within, Necmi was on the ground, feet crossed and eyes closed, he was focusing on gathering every bit of energy for whatever was to come because he knew it wouldn't be easy. "Are you that scared Necmi, you're already twisting into a ball." Cleo taunted with a snicker as the headmaster beyond the dome stood up. "Let the second test of the Archaic begin!" He announced but another signal was to be hailed so that they could begin and it was given in the form of a war horn echoing in the silent stadium, Inside the dome Cleo was the first one to move as she lashed out her whip at Necmi, the taller boy dodged flipping back only to meet face to face with Kean whose eyes glowed and energy pulsed to his hand blasting it at Necmi,  the boy caught the whip trying to cut him and dragged Cleo foward, he then shot up into the sky dodging Kean's attack which hurtled toward Cleo and on impact exploded into a fire that reached the dome.








The onlookers flinched as the blast was that powerful, Necmi now knew two of them were trying to gang up on him, he had to pick an easier opponent between the two and eliminate them, and he chose Cleo, so he dove down at an incredible speed materializing a weapon made of holy light in his palm and slashing at the recovering Cleo, the blade went right at her torso, then her back in quick successive slashes, Necmi could feel another attack coming so he raised a wall of holy light that blocked Kean from attacking him, he focused on Cleo who had regained herself but was breathing hard. "Lets play." She hissed pulling a spear from her back and threw it at Necmi, when he dodged it Cleo was right above him with both fists clenched to pummel him but it didn't go as plan, Necmi dropped to the ground, with him the wall, just then a blazing sword impaled Cleo throwing her to the ground groaning, Kean wasn't giving up.









"He's mine!" Selena yelled as she flew directly for Necmi but he concentrated hard on his mana and willed his body to move faster than light and it did, he appeared behind Selena, grabbed her leg and began twirling around with her in mid air, he tossed her toward Kean who flipped out of the way just in time before Selena crashed into him. "So this is how it is, I'd very much like all of you to think about what you're doing, where the honor for your houses is when you're depending on each other to take me down." Necmi asserted as everyone, even the crowd listened to him, and he was right, they were showing weakness in gangimg up on him. "He's right." Kean was the first to admit it, as the others accepted it, they had shown they needed help in taking down the next heir of house Raziel, and he had shown that he wasn't a push over.










"Sorry buddy." Kean mumbled looking at Damian who also had the same conviction in his eyes as he lunged for Kean. Necmi had shattered their little alliance in one strike, now they were easy pickings. Selena flew up to the sky and waited whilst Cleo shot up from the ground headed straight for Necmi, the boy blocked the tackle she wanted to do and kicked her hard by the jaw, she took it as a champ and striked Necmi's gut, but he didn't budge, when he retaliated he willed his speed to take control and started raining a barrage of attacks on the girl that she could barely see, he conjured a blade into his palm and impaled the girl once again, she coughed out blood before striking again with his boot to her hip throwing her into the cement wall of the arena, she dented the wall but Necmi wasn't done, he moved his hands in a circular motion to create a giant circle of runes that sparked electricity which could be felt beyond the barrier.










"Cleo!" Selena yelled to warn her but it was too late, the circle released millions of bolts of lightning that hurtled toward the girl, on impact they electrocuted her, then exploded, but Necmi wasn't done, his wings appeared on his back and he shot up into the sky as he bent light into hands, it grew big and bigger until it grew so bright most of the people in the arena covered their eyes, then he compressed it into a tiny ball before unleashing it on the healing girl, coincidentally another explosion rocked the entirety of the arena, covering it in dust and flames, the war horn rang out once signalling a participant being taken out of the dome, then the crowd gasped as another horn blew, Kean had deafeated Damian aswell leaving Selena, Necmi and Kean to face each other.










"Just because you're a girl, I won't hold back." Kean mumbled facing Selena as they now stood facing each other on the ground. "I wouldn't expect any less." The girl asserted just as she unleashed a hail storm in the arena dome which forced Necmi to create a light shield whilst Kean created a barrier with his mind, when the storm subsided, there was nolonger one but two identical girls in the arena. "I knew this would be the outcome, so I prepared for it."  She explained before both her versions lunged for the two boys, she hurled fire at Necmi who didn't retaliate but block, Selena's fighting style was always stay on the offensive, he just needed her to drain herself. So after he blocked, he materialized a long sword into his palm and attacked the girl, she made her own blade of fire and wind, the two clashed in heavy blows but neither one could get a hit in, Necmi flipped back and used his superior strength to raise a boulder from the ground and smacked Selena with it, the girl was quick to act as she blasted it with her force energy cracking the wall then slicing through it, she just didn't expect there to be several more walls that would hit her over and over again till she was rammed into the wall.










Necmi didn't know how but he felt the cold beam of ice coming at him before it came, so he flipped back several times then shot up into the sky with amazing speed it made everyone look in awe, they wondered why he dodged but not for long as Selena's twin aimed an ice beam at the spot he stood on previously, everyone was shocked, then they cheered, Selena growled, she couldn't get a hit in, Necmi again felt an attack as Kean appeared above him to deliver an attack, a green shield vibrating with power covered him in seconds, as when Kean attacked with his clenched fist he was met with a wall that threw him back with the force of his own attack. Not waiting for a reaction Necmi dived down to attack Selena but the girl attacked first and it was a gigantic ice shard that impaled Necmi. "Got you." Selena hissed as everyone gasped. "Necmi!" Abe yelled standing up from his seat but Mel took his hand and dragged him down. "Stay calm and watch." He chided the hunter who nodded as everyone watched.











In the arena something began to happen, as Selena went to attack the large shard of ice she had used to impale Necmi began to vibrate, it vibrated so hard that the sound echoed all around them before it shattered and Necmi released a tortured scream, his mana and power burst out of him throwing the girl back to the ground, he grounded himself pulling it back in as a green light was emitted from the angel's body healing his wound before her eyes, once it was done, Necmi focused his eyes on the girl and growled, he lunged for her with a ferocious beast like energy, but Selena was an arch angel, a low blue gleam covered her body as she transformed into her true form, her hair was longer, a burning halo above her head and wings that shimmered blue, everyone was impressed as she met Necmi head on, she swerved right and dodged the punch he was about to deliver, slipping under him she used her right leg to kick his leg but the boy didn't move, he disappeared in speed and came from above smashing her into the ground.









Selena grabbed the leg that had attacked her and swung Necmi like he had done to her smashing him into the the near wall, she released a beam of brilliant blue light aimed at Necmi but he wasn't there, the explosion hit a mirage, he was behind her delivering a round house kick to her neck, he wasn't done, he used his speed to slam her into the wall cracking it even more, but the girl grabbed his shoulder and encased him in ice, then gathered all her energy rising up into the sky then hailing it down at him in a furious series of explosions that created tremors on the ground. Necmi was on the ground heaving as she floated down wondering how she survived her blast, it was strong enough to destroy a piece of the school. "How are you feeling Selena, drained?" He asked and it clicked in her mind, but it was too late, Necmi lunged for her with glyphs that glowed green by his palms, she couldn't dodge the first upper cut that rocked her body like tremors, then the second punch that broke her right ribs, he didn't stop as he kicked her into the air and followed her punching her upward until she was being pounded into the barrier itself.










Necmi grabbed her wings in both his palms and swung her over kicking the niddle of her back and blasting her with holy light that had her losing focus as she fell to the ground, a high pitched scream echoed in the arena coming from the other Selena as Kean tortured her mentally, physically he was creating an energy fusion from all the blasts that had occurred in the arena, and as his hold on the girl's mind released, he shot her with his final attack that obliterated her instantly. The real Selena stood up coughing, she knew she couldn't win against the two of them, so why not take them down with her, she concentrated all her celestial power into her hands growing it until it was a sphere that pulsed above her. "Is she mad, it'll kill her." Rizzavi argued looking on to the arena. "She's taking them down with her." Mel explained as he waited to see if her attack would work.










Necmi who was hovering above them created several shields of light  then willed the protection he was given into being, it changed his white wings to a vibrant forest green that were ready to protect him, on the ground, Kean had transformed into his true form, his hair turned silver, as a silver glow came from his wings, he created a shield that he hoped would survive against Selena's bomb as she detonated it, first was the explosion of ice spikes in the whole arena that threatened to destroy the dome, then came the nuclear explosion of pure raw celestial energy. It was so bright the sunny sky seemed to turn darker with it shaking not only the arena but a part of the school where the arena was, when it subsided the ground was a scorching red and the dome was repairing itself after holding in so much power. Debris clear, a horn blew in the arena, Selena was out, but not Necmi or Kean, the two had survived the blast but had sustained damage, Kean was no longer in his arch angel form and the light shields that protected Necmi were gone but not the green shield that sparkled and pulsed with power.



The pendant will protect you from fatal harm but your will, it will protect you from their power.






Necmi heard the words echo in his mind as he looked to the seats where his Mel was sitting with a smile, he had protected him, back in the dome Kean had staggered to his feet, severely burnt, his arm seemed to have been impaled by the ice aswell. "How?" He choked out looking at Necmi. "I have love, and the will to protect everyone who was oppressed or hurt by the actions of those higher." Necmi replied as he willed his shield to vanish but always guarded, Kean scoffed at his response but he understood now, why they couldn't beat Necmi, he was charged with the duty to protect, that's how he became an arch angel, but he became lost in his need for power that he lost his way aswell,  it was pitiful, but someone like Necmi, he never lost his way, he was stronger because of it. "Let's finish this." Necmi called out as weapons of light materialized in his hands, and in Kean's, a flaming sword, the two lunged for each other at breakneck speed, Kean slashed upward, only to be blocked and his blade parried away, Necmi slashed at his abdomen, when he moved away to avoid being cut, he rammed into Kean with his shield.










Everyone knew this was it, the deciding battle, as Necmi flipped back to avoid the raw telekinetic energy blasted his way, he swerved under it only to blast Kean with holy light that melted away the ice on his arm and threw him back to the wall, he struggled to get up as Necmi came from above and rammed his knee into Kean eliciting a scream of pain from the angel, Necmi stood up, made a spear appear in his palm and plunged it into the angel's back. He wailed again as everyone watched Necmi mercilessly beat Kean with a barrage of punches to his body, then the beat up angel released a wave of rippling celestial power from his body, it sparked silver as it exploded with everything it touched, it gave him time to recover and stand but it was too late, a large circle carved with angelic symbols pulsing with power had been conjured by Necmi, he looked below him to face Kean who simply didn't have the energy to counter but defend, to put more power into his attack, Necmi transformed, a burning orange halo formed above his head, his wings pulsed the same colour but also another, a green that shimmered in between. "Celestial Purging Light." Mel mumbled sitting on the edge of his seat whilst watching.









As the sufficient power was reached, Necmi transformed back to his normal and released the beam of blinding orange light, everyone knew Kean wouldn't survive it, he was already too damaged by Selena's blast, but he had endured, that's what truly mattered and found his way again, the beam cracked the ground as it destroyed the concrete, and finally blew Kean out, it blinded the audience yes, but there was something more to celebrate, a victory, before the horn blew everyone stood up, they waited patiently, and the horn did blow confirming Kean was out but that's not what they were waiting for, Necmi appeared on one knee panting, he hadn't exerted that much energy in a long time so it wasn't easy recovering, but the pendant around his neck helped and slowly he stood up, it started with Mel who clapped then his friends and soon the whole school joined in, they had their champion.







Melrose.



Mel stood waiting at the participants entrance of the arena, he knew Necmi would come to him first before he even got treated, so he was waiting patiently and like his heart had told him, the man was limping toward him. Necmi hugged Mel giving him all the affection he could muster. "I won starfish, I won for you." Necmi admitted as Mel cried in their embrace. "Thank you my heart, thank you for winning for me." He replied as he wiped away his tears and pulled apart to look at his love. "You're a mess." Mel commented making them both chuckle as he put laughing aside and pulled him in, hands draped over his shoulder and kissed him, kissed him like it was breathing, when they pulled apart Necmi was dazed. "I guess heroes do get special treatment." He mumbled moving his eyebrows suggestively, all Mel could do was laugh.







He was falling for an idiot, there wasn't a need for words though, there was a deep understanding between the two of them, Mel could feel it as his eyes were set on Necmi, he was eighty percent sure at this point that he was the one. "Thank you, for this." Necmi spoke holding out the pendant that he was sure protected him. "I only did my part so that you would win fairly, even though it seems you didn't need it." Mel replied as Necmi emitted a guttural growl. "I needed it,  come here." He argued pulling Mel up into his arms. "Put me down Necmi!" He protested but there was no response as he laughed walking to the medical centre where the rest of their group was waiting but began laughing when they saw Mel being manhandled by a barbarian. "You two are meant for each other." Laurie comments in between her laughter and when it died down, she and Abe hugged Necmi.








"Great job out there team leader, we'll try to make you proud." Abe whispered in his ear, as Mel heard it, he only hoped things were better tomorrow, but for now. "Come on big guy, let's get you check out, you owe me a milkshake." Mel asserted as they laughed walking into the med centre.
