Oni gave a laugh at Double D's attempts to break free. "My 'strings' are holding you back, Ddwen... they're having trouble attaching to your body because of your inherent nature, but every piece of wood has a crack somewhere..."
Oni reached back and stroked Double D's wings. They were more energy than actual wings, and it almost felt like he was stroking jello. "So soft. Like air. Tell me, Ddwen... are you aware of what happens when an angel has its wings torn off?"
Without waiting for an answer, Oni grasped Double D's wings and pulled.

Double D grimaced as the harsh soul names returned, and a shiver went down his spine at the familar feel of something brushing past his... oh, no...!
"...ohhh..." Double D groaned. "Don't you...dare...!"
He yelped at the first merciless tug, and at the audible, painful sound of ripping and tearing, Double D screamed. Pieces of the translucent feathers ripped apart like cotton in Oni's claws, flittering down to the ground and twisting wiltingly, like burning scraps of paper.
Double D's cries, and resistence, faltered at the pure agony, and he once again slumped forward, hardly noticing as more and more dark tentacles gained a grip on him.

Oni glared as Double D screamed, and suddenly, a large shadowy claw rose up from under the angel, grasping him and tossing him against the wall on the other end of the room. If someone hadn't heard something from the scream, the sound of Double D hitting the wall would have gotten their attention.
"You're too loud," Oni growled. He was walking over to Double D as he spoke. "I'd have thought you'd be quieter. I suppose I expected too much of you. Well, I'm nearly done. After all, I finally found a crack."
The shadowy tendrils stopped wrapping around Double D, and instead attached themselves to his wrists, feet, and head. Oni began to smirk once more.

(Soundtrack to describe Felix www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNjQ2NVRZfQReason: Felix, when pissed, makes an enraged godlike Kefka look like a pussy. Every single movement would describe his madness right now, but I chose this one because the quiet part of this song would suit Felix first discovering Oni, watching him torment Double D until the music suddenly hits 1:25, at which point Felix's madness hits the breaking point and all Hell literally breaks loose.) Felix was a light sleeper to begin with, so when Edward stirred and walked outside of the room, he was taken from his sleep. He looked over Marion, their pride and joy, with a soft smile on his face. Sleep well, my little angel, he thought, giving her a soft kiss on the forehead, and then stood up softly, making his way over to the door. He had to use the bathroom, or at least he wanted to take a bath, and thus went to open the door when the sudden surge of dark energy on the other side caused him to stop dead, with eyes wide. "Wh-What is this?" he stuttered silently before creaking the door open. What he saw, his eyes concealed in the shadows of the room, would prove to contribite greatly to his madness. Kyle... or what seemed to have once been Kyle, but instead had assumed the visage of some horifying demon... He stood over a limp and tormented Edward, who was crying for mercy. Voices inside Felix's head screamed for him to go save Edward, but another emotion held him back... fear. The dark energy that "Kyle" emitted was so strong that it seemed to repel Felix to the very core. Edward... what has he done to you?! Felix thought, gripping the doorknob hard with his hand, his body shaking in growing anger... and a sort of maniacal vengeance. The dark spirit continued to torment Edward and he heard "Kyle" use Edward's soulname as well. The revelation struck him hard, but fear still kept him at bay. "Kyle" continued, calling Edward out on his deepest fears, each one of them driving Felix more and more over the edge. Marion now began to wake, hearing her father whimpering and crying as he was tormented. She noticed Felix near the door, gripping the doorhandle, looking nearly as tormented, and immediately felt a sort of childish worry. "Ma... Mama?" she asked. Felix did not hear her. And then, as Felix felt himself on the bring of lunacy, he saw "Kyle's" dark energy wrap itsself around Edward's wings, the wings that he was proud of, the wings his lover worked and sacrificed so much to earn, those, beautiful soft wings... He watched Oni rip them apart. That was it. The fear was suddenly overwrote by uncontrollable madness and furious lunacy. Marion immediately began to whimper in fear, too afraid to burst out crying, as Felix's entire body began to radiate a unique energy. When Felix's powers of light and darkness combined, though his darkness powers were untapped into, he would became engulfed in a Twilight aura... but, in this moment, Felix radiated all colors of the rainbow. The light aura combined with the dark aura shone brightly in its Twilight form, but a part of Felix was also glowing with self-righteous, vindictive light... and chaotic, malevolent darkness. And finally, unable to bear anymore and his mind beyond insanity, Felix's power ended up causing the very door in front of him to shatter into a million pieces. Most of them scattered. None of them hit Edward or Oni, for some reason, yet some stuck into Felix. But instead of making a sound of pain, the now psychopathic angel just began to giggle as blood ran down his face. One of his eyes glowed a pure white... and the other glowed a cursed black. Within his hands, two swords formed, one tempered with a justicar's heart, the other forged from hellish sin. A sword of light and a sword of darkness... and Felix radiating light, dark, and twilight energy to create an apocalyptic-feeling power. And then the unexpected happened... Felix vanished. He seemed to just dissapear. The door fixed itsself and Felix was unseen... unseen, that is, until his power returned with him thrusting his sword of light straight towards Oni's heart with quick percision and professional silence. If the strike were to hit, he would giggle madly and charge the light energy within the sword to attack the very darkness that was Oni. But he didn't know about Oni. He thought Kyle was the enemy now and he would not be satisfied until Kyle's entire existance was obliterated. (Introducing Felix's other ultimate form, the Apocalypse Angel. Only seen when Felix is put through mind-scarring situations of high severity, the Apocalypse Angel is able to control light, dark, and twilight energy. It is known as the Apocalypse Angel because its very presence makes people think that the end of existance is nigh and its powers, when tapped correctly, can cause all sorts of cataclysms to occur.)

Eddward knew he was completely at the demon's mercy. Trapped against the wall, the angel had no strength to resist any longer. Was this.. truly the end?
Fleetingly, he shut his eyes, feeling the darkness begin to seep in and cloud his consciousness...
...and then the door exploded.
At that distraction, the shadows released him, and Double D flopped to the floor almost lifelessly, barely catching a glimpse of his lover in the doorway.
Collapsed on the floor, the Angel of Light's senses were a jumbled mess. Why else would he feel the presence of so many energies all at once? They all couldn't have come from Felix... could they? He tried lifting himself up to look, but was much too weakened; all of his energy was reflexively put towards regenerating his wings: a slow, painful process as they remained limp across his back, having lost much of their glow.

Oni felt the Apocalypse Angel before he saw it. His power having been in a muted state, he had not felt the presence of one with Twilight powers when he'd entered the apartment with Kyle before, and when he'd taken control of Kyle's body about an hour ago, he really hadn't given a fuck about anyone else in the apartment, just as long as Double D stayed quiet. But once Felix finally lost his mind, however temporary, Oni felt it coming, released Double D, and rolled out of the way of a sword of light. The man was trying to kill him. While normally that would be to Oni's advantage, he doubted taking his true form here would be to his advantage, considering there was an angel of apocalypse in here.
Oni didn't stay still for long, swinging out a leg from his downward position to try to knock Felix off balance, before quickly standing up and moving out of the way of the sword again. His motions were fluid, never staying in once place. He knew the speed of angels. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on which end of the battle you were on), because of this, he couldn't lock eyes with Felix; he couldn't find out his "true name." And while he had Double D's, it was no use to him at the moment.
Finally, Oni moved rather quickly to an open space in the room, near Felix and Double D's bedroom. He smirked back at Marion for a second before wrapping himself in darkness like he had once before.
"If either of you follow me, I'll throw this body into the Void."
With those parting words, the darkness Oni had wrapped himself in sunk into the deep shadows of the room, and both Oni and Kyle were gone. Kyle would wake up once dawn broke in the back alleys of the city.

"...n-no...!" Double D was powerless to stop him, reaching out a hand feebily, only to clench it tightly when Oni had disappeared. How could this have happened?? He had promised to protect Kyle... and when he needed the angel most... he had failed.
Marion breifly cowered at Oni's terrible smirk, but once he disappeared, all her fear was shown to her parents. "Mommy!! Daddy!!!" Clumsily, as she was still yet new to walking, she stumbled out of the bedroom, just as the others were beginning to awaken.

Felix was never a logical person. He was a compassionate, overly emotional person. Right now... he was a pissed off, psychotic, overly emotional person. He drew his sword of light and his sword of darkness and cut a rip into the very fabric of space using them. But just as he was about to go in, Masahiro entered the door and started into his eyes, muttering the word, "Close." The portal closed and Felix, angered by this, aimed to cut Masahiro in half.
He got pimp-slapped. Quite literally, out of nowhere, Masahiro backhanded Felix in the face as he went to hit him, knocking him down. "This is no time to act like an idiot," he told Felix calmly. "The dark energy inside that child will grow. We need to find a way to..."
"He hurt Double D," Felix said with a growl as he picked himself up. "He will die!"
"You sound like Desmond," Masahiro said. "Would you kill Edward to prevent him from being the Wizard?"
"YOU BASTARD! THAT HAS NOTHING TO...!"
"You're yelling profanities in front of your daughter. If you would kindly calm down and let me speak, I might not have to cut your head off." Masahiro crossed his arms. "That child is innocent. A demon is controlling him. As a regular human, with no powers of his own, he is unable to resist. He literally has no choice but to commit evil deeds and damn himself further and further towards Hell. Karma condemns him as much as you do, Felix. I believe the demon may be channeling this to Kyle so that the gatekeeper is fooled into believing he is evil. Then it's off to eternal pain and suffering for Kyle while the demon controls yet another body." Masahiro's eyes wandered to the side. "If we cannot get that demon out of him..."
"Ask me if I care," Felix growled.
Masahiro seemed to look at Felix intently and then said, "My god anger makes you ugly."

To no one's surprise, Double D was left sobbing on the floor. Whimpering, Marion stumbled over to her sire's side, sobbing and choking as she was tempted to touch the poor remains of her father's wings, but thought better of it. Instead, she nuzzled in under one of Eddward's arms, trying to seek and give comfort at the same time.
But surprisingly, Double D's pain-wracked sobs were directed for someone else. "Kyle... Kyle... s...sorry...so sorry..."

"Masahiro, you...!"
"Sleep." At that simple command, Felix dropped instantly, the energy dissapearing. "I have no wish to fight you, you foolish, overvindictive catastrophe of an angel. We're supposed to be on the same side." Masahiro sighed and walked over to Double D before helping him up. "Come on to bed. He didn't rip the wings out of their sockets, so the feathers will regenerate quick enough. But... ... ... well... I dare not speak right now. He could be anywhere, everywhere. Percy will be upset I snuck out, but there's not much I can do about it."

Double D tried to catch his breath, still terribly weak. As he was helped up, Marion wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to him tightly like a tree frog. She cast a whimper towards her motherly figure, but knew that her father needed her more right now.
"M...Ma..." Double D choked out, dragging his tormented, tear-filled gaze up at the angel. "M-Masahiro... I... I have to help Kyle, he... he's...!"

"In your current position, you are ill-suited to help your lover, your daughter, and yourself," Masahiro said. "If you cannot do that, then Kyle is currently far beyond your grasp. What you need to do now is rest. Rest and prepare yourself for the coming darkness, for the next full moon, or maybe even before then, will bring rise of the demon again."

Double D flinched. It sounded like a harsh confirmation of his overall incompetancy, though surely Masahiro didn't mean it that way. Discouraged, and too weak to protest, he weakly noddedallowing Masahiro to help him back into his room. The room grew quiet again, even as the others began to file in to see what was the matter. One look at his haggard face, and no one attempted to speak.
The Angel of Light didn't want to look as Felix was heaved up and was carried behind him. He was grateful, of course; if not for his interference, he would've long been dead, or captured, or whatever else Oni was planning. And he was happy his dear love was safe.
And yet... Double D's broken gaze came up to the full moon outside, and his heart grew heavy. Kyle was out there somewhere... cold... alone... hurt...
Kyle... I'm sorry... I failed you.

(OOC: *insert time skip here*)
It was some time before Kyle woke up. Once again, it was in a strange place. He'd grown used to waking up in strange places. But this time was different. Double D had accepted him into his home, and then he'd fallen asleep and then...
He shot to his feet. Oh god. Oh god. He'd hurt someone again. He'd blacked out because of Oni and hurt someone again, he knew it.
"Why...?" Kyle said, pain permeating his voice. "Why did you have to..."
"A puppet does not exist to question its puppeteer," spoke his shadow. "I told you to leave that angel. You refused to listen to me, and what happened to him is your fault."
Kyle's eyes widened. "Wh-what did you..."
"I taught him a lesson the only way I knew how."
Kyle let out a strangled sound, and backed up against the alley wall. "No..."
"Allow me to enlighten you."
Kyle's eyes widened as several images flowed through his head. All depicting Double D being tortured, several of them worse than the actual events. He saw the wings pulling. He didn't see the arrival of Felix. It segwayed into something much worse, an event that Kyle wasn't even aware never happened.
It showed Oni raping Double D.
If it was possible, Kyle backed up further, and covered his mouth with his hands just as he vomited up everything in his stomach. "Oh god... oh god... oh god..." All he got in response this time was dark laughter. Kyle collapsed to his knees, and sat there shaking for a moment.
Have to... have to apologize, Kyle said. He slowly got to his feet again. Have to make sure everything's alright... please, let him be alive... don't let this be a repeat of what happened with Mom... dear God, don't let this be like what happened with Mom...
---------------------
Kyle managed to somehow make it out of the alleyways and back to the apartments. He didn't stop running until he made it back to the Eds' Apartment. He was panting heavily as he reached the door, and practically shoved the door open.
"Double D!" Kyle cried.
What do you think you're doing, K--
Shut the hell up, you bastard!

Felix and Masahiro turned at the same time Kyle entered the room. Masahiro gasped and quickly moved. He managed to make it just in time; Felix had drawn his sword and move to cut Kyle in two, but Masahiro managed to throw him into the air using his foot before bringing it up and slamming Felix into the ground, pinning the now shell-shocked youth there.
"Kyle... we've much to discuss, but to do it, you have to be alive," Masahiro said, pressing his foot down further on Felix to keep him there.
