Angelo: Angelica: Angelo: Angelica: Angelo:

Hi Angelica. How are you? I m fine. Good. Are you mad? Why should I? Yeah right, why should you be mad? So I think I got to go my room. Good night.

(Angelica did not answer.) (Everybody in the house were sleeping but Angelica could not sleep so she explore the house until she reached the storage room and found something strange) Angelica: What s this?

(She picked a silver box and read the note in the cover.) Open not?! How could anyone not open this box if the key itself was stuck on the latch? Oh my, it s almost a hundred year old staff. Cool. (She read the first page and said ) Total crap! (Something fell behind her and saw a baton.) How can they dump this wonderful baton in such a rubbish place? I would certainly love to keep this.
OMG. I love this booklet it s very funny. It seems so true. Whew, it made me sweat now. (Someone behind her picked the box)

How dare you scare me to the bones Angelo?! Angelo : Angelica: Sorry, I don t mean to scare you. What are you doing here?

Angelo: I heard a bang a while ago and I saw a flash of light outside my window so I guess as the caretaker s son, it is my duty to check if there is anything wrong with the house. Angelica: Wow that s so thoughtful. And how did you know I m here?

Angelo: staff?

I really don t know that you re here. I m just checking. Wait, how did you get that

Angelica: I just saw it behind me with that bicycle after reading this booklet. Why? Do you have any intentions of getting this from? Well you... Angelo: Oh my God! This can t be true. Impossible!

Angelica: What impossible are you talking about boy? Can you further explain yourself? You re getting me nuts. Angelo: Angelica: Angelo: Angelica: Angelo: Angelica: Come on let s get out of this place now! What? Can you please tell me why? Okay, you just got your ticket to hell Angelica. You are one of the chosen! Chosen? Of what? Are you sure you re okay? Hello? I m deadly serious Angelica so don t joke on this. Okay! Sorry. So tell me everything.

Angelo: That booklet, that indicates that you re a chosen one. You are one of the seven teenagers who will fight against the forces of underworld. You re an angel Angelica. You are going to die if you can t defeat the evil forces. And that stick you are holding, Angelica: It s not a stick, it s a baton.

Angelo: Whatever, that is the Winggard, that s your weapon. And that bicycle that s the Winggamot s Cycle, that your ride. We better get out of here before they come. Angelica: Really? So how did you know all these?

Angelo: You better read that booklet you are holding before it s too late for you and I m an angel too. Angelica: So you really are nuts. How did you invent this story? I know I look like an angel but I m no angel at all. And who s coming? The devil? Maybe you re just sleepy or you just haven t eaten your dinner that s why your inventing these crazy things in your head. (A black weird human like thing appeared in front of them.) Oh my God!

Devil:

Hello children! Are you ready to die?

(Angelo snatched his necklace and it transformed into some kind of a weapon.) Angelo: I told you. The battle of angels and demons has just begun. Hey you devil, I ve already prepare your place in heaven to start praying now. Devil: Angelica: Angelo: Angelica: Angelo: That s a funny joke. Can you strike another joke for me? You re making me laugh. What is that thing? It s a devil. They are our enemies. Am I dreaming? If I am, I want to wake up. (Slapping her face) You re not dreaming. This is real. Use your weapon to help me.

(The devil charged them and Angelo lashed his diamond chain whip to their enemy.) Devil: you both? Angelo: Devil: And oh another angel. Would you be kind enough to introduce us before I kill

She s Angelica and she s going to kill you. Oh that s sweet. Hi Angelica? Are you ready to die?

Angelica: In your dreams devil! Angelo, Tell me how I can help. Tell me how to use this Wingard, whatever is the name of this stuff. Angelo: Just think of whatever you want to do with your weapon. It can lash magic or you can make it a sword, anything! Angelica: Wow cool. Okay let me try.

(Angelica waved the baton and a light explode in its tip while the wings on her baton flipped into life and when the light subsided the devil was gone already.) Angelo: Angelica: Wow. How did you do that? I just thought of exploding the devil. Is he gone?

Angelo: Yes. Let s get out of here. Many are still coming. We need to find the other angels. Take your staff. By now let s get a good rest because the battle is just beginning. Angelica: How about the other devil, they might come.

Angelo: No they only send one devil at a time when a new angel was chosen. And now, it s you. So let us just be prepared for the coming days. They might come back. _END_
