A Carnival in Darkness: Part 8

"Oh dear god! Thanks man. I owe you one!" Axl Low said loudly as he was told by Ryu about how the women were getting closer and closer to finding him.

But just when Axl thought he might have a chance, His hopes were dashed away when he jumped off of the rooftop and went flying to the street below and got smacked by a meteor which sent him crashing into the ground at top speed.

Somehow surviving it without any serious bruises, Everything just got worse now when the monsters began to come out. His jaw dropping as if this were some sort of alternate universe where the worst possible things could happen, And the fires didn't make this any better!

Pushing the meteor off of himself and quickly checking for any wounds. Axl was going to dust his now dirty union-jack print shirt and blue jeans off before starting to hightail it from the horde of monsters and women who survived the meteor shower. Screaming loudly but before he could really get too far...That's when he noticed Hotaru and how wounded she was.

"Darn me and my chivalrous side..." He softly said to himself before he'd run over to the wounded Hotaru and snatch her up to start running with her. "Don't worry Chicky, Axl Low's got ya and I ain't gonna let you die," He said through very strained breaths as he was a very fit guy but there was so much that one person could take.

Raven simply looked to the well-known and handsome matador, Nodding as he spoke up. "Even though I don't care for my alternate self...Even I can feel sorry for him," Raven says before he began to walk around and check what could be salvaged from the destruction zone.

But then those meteors began to rain down and Raven had to do something he didn't often do, Use Magic.

Raven casted a quick barrier spell to atleast protect the central radius of the carnival from meteors raining down and setting the entire area on fire, Instead, It was going to be slightly controlled and hopefully That Man was going to lend a hand soon...Raven could only hope so.

"Of course...Give it a try and see what shall happen," That Man said with an encouraging tone of voice toward Sephiroth to give this combination spell a try.

That cough out of Sephiroth made That Man's eyes widen beneath his hooded robe for a moment as he didn't know what could happen now and he began to hear the sounds of monsters and meteor showers.

"It is okay, Sephiroth. I should...Be able to fix all of this up."

That Man was truly going to need every bit of power he harvested from the carnival to fix up this mess, But it was all going to go to a worthy cause atleast. To fix up the unfortunate mistakes that one could make completely by accident when using magic. As well as That Man not having to dip into his own magical aura for a source to begin the healing and fixing process of all the damage from Monsters and Meteors.

"Something is very wrong here. I'll be back." Sailor Pluto feeds the hamsters a big helping of sunflower seeds before teleporting to where Axl is. She temporary stopped time so that all the girls and monsters were frozen, only Axl was allowed to move as the time senshi spoke to him. "I know that you are from the future and I'm given you this chance to run to safety while time is standing still. You only have about an hour to escape before I let time flow normal and the chase to return." Sailor Pluto didn't listen to Axl's beautiful music so she wasn't affected.

**********

"Thank you!" Axl was almost in complete tears about someone with powers over time finally helping him out. Continuing to carry Hotaru in his arms to drop her off at somewhere like a hospital where they could treat her atleast.

Atleast he could take it a little easier with an hour to work with, Getting as far away from the wrecked city as possible after dropping Hotaru off at a hospital. Having even taken the time to catch his breath so he could just start running like his life still depended on it. This time he was just gonna keep going and going, It seemed disaster could follow him anywhere.

**********

The hour was up and when time was returned back to normal everyone was upset to see that Axl disappeared in to thin air and out of sight. The fires grew stronger and more deadly as it spreaded and soon nearby cities were being burned down. But the fires of love for Axl was even stronger and the pursuit for Axl began again. There were loud screams for Axl and many had unholy plans on what to do to him if they caught him. All involving forcing him to sing non stop against his will.

"Hold on, I think I can fix things with another spell." Sephiroth chanted another spell, another combination spell using one of his old magic spell with one that he learned from in That Man's book. But unfortunately he sneezed again and messed the spell again. "Sorry I must be allergic to something here." The spell caused a huge amount of rain to come pouring down outside that did indeed stop the fire and meteors but it rained so hard that it started to flood really bad. The water level rose rapidly, hurricanes began to form and a Leviathan monster was summoned. The monster just like all the rest immediately went after Axl because it was very much interested in Axl's singing.
