Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

*William Black - Wasted On You (feat. Sara Skinner) *

"Oi, aren't I supposed to be your second half?" Maya finally organized her thoughts and interjected. "Why are you two hugging like this… it's giving me a bad feeling…"

Hearing her, Raven barely spared her a glance before ignoring her, as if she had just seen an ant that didn't know its place.

"We've just had our first real moment together, yet you treat me like this…" If there was a box of sand around, Maya would have been found playing there alone as tears dripped down. 

But alas, she was busy wrapping the two in her mana while flying at extremely fast velocities…

*Sniff*

"Rave, you've really changed…" she sniffed. "I swear, you used to be more kind and loving… What happened to the Raven I know?"

"Humph, you're the one who wants to be with the real me, right?" Raven harrumped while raised her eyebrows. "The real me is not the kindest out there, deal with it!"

Sounds of a breaking heart could be heard all over Maya's Mana Field that was covering them.

"Ugh…" Raven complained as she left Kayla embrace and went to comfort Maya. Once she reached her, she knocked her on the head, causing her speed to slow down as her silver-white eyes welled up in tears. 

*Sigh*

"To be fair, you have also changed," Raven suddenly said seriously. "I've always heard you swearing and being a tough girl, back on Earth, but the difference now is much more severe…"

Hearing her speaking seriously, Maya opened her ears and listened with a grave expression.

"With that being said, I don't mind the new you," Raven shrugged. "Since I've already decided to take you, I'll take you with everything you got. How does that sound?"

"Pretty good...?" Maya questioned, instead of answering. "Are we… are we still doing *cough* you know, after we're done?"

"Uhm," Raven nodded while knocking on her head once again. "But why do I feel like that's where your head has been lately? We've got some serious issues to take care of!"

"Hehe, why would I ever care about such things? All I care about is what happens when we get back!"

"But you-"

"Rave," Maya interrupted with a similarly serious expression. "When I am with you, I give you full control of me; body, soul, and mind. You make decisions and create plans.

"I can't compare to you in that department so why would I care? To me, if it's something that you can't solve, then no one in the universe can help me… does that explain why I always take it easy around you?"

*Sigh*

"What a dummy..." Raven let out a soft sigh while slowly and affectionately rubbing Maya's head. "Got it. I'll take care of everything. It's enough to have you supporting me."

"Hehe, now we're talking!" Maya cheered, indulging in her wild imagination yet once again.

…

The trio were each lost in their own thoughts as they traversed the empty space.

Not too long after, they came to a terrifying scene where the two Seraphim were fighting to the death. The energy was rampant and shockwaves gave a feeling of ultimate danger.

"You're finally here!" Uriel let out a cry of joy upon seeing Maya getting closer to her position. 

Contrary to her earlier appearance, she looked extremely miserable at the moment.

One of her hands was cut off from the wrist downwards, and was bleeding a river of radiant milky blood that dyed the void white. A large amount of blood gushed out of her stomach as she bled heavily from a wound that penetrated deeply.

Her face was covered in the same hue as her mouth and nose were bloodied. A long wound ran up her face from the chin and all the way up to her left eye that was blinded.

Throughout the battle, she had used her final form as she summoned the entirety of her four pairs of wings. However, at this moment, only one remained. The rest, seven of her wings, were plucked like dead flowers and thrown into the distance for her to watch in pain and sorrow.

Everything was ruined for her. Even if she survives this by some miracle, there's no way for her to get back to her prime, especially appearance and strength-wise.

Even her entire army of angels, including the Holy Angels, were all turned to mutilated corpses that were roaming the void aimlessly.

At the moment, she was desperately fending off against Michael's attacks with her injured hand, using it as a shield like she gave up on it, while using her functional hand to prevent any further bleeding from her stomach.

The moment she saw Maya was as though she had seen her hope for a future. However, the moment her functional eye landed on Raven, her hope quickly died out.

'Why did she bring her with her? Isn't she supposed to be a useless gift for a one time use?' Uriel asked herself. 'Why is she looking happy and healthy?

'What happened between them? Did I betray my beliefs and risk my own life for the two to stay together like this? What- ah!!'

As she was deep in thought, Michael landed a terrifying blow.

Coughing up a mouthful of pure white blood, Uriel looked down at her stomach, only to see that a fist had penetrated both her hand and her abdomen, reaching out to the other side of her body through her back.

Looking up, she saw Michael looking at her with a disgusted expression on his face. 

Quickly, he pulled his hand back and pushed Uriel away as if she was but a random piece of trash.

"Tch, this took way more time than it should have," he complained. "I should not have assigned too many Holy Angels under your command. Well, lesson learned."

Uriel, who was pushed aside, looked at Maya with her last breath.. Her functioning eye dripped with tears as she realized that she had not even given her a single glance since the moment of her arrival.
