In Glory Undimmed
by: zulka


Spencer and his power are formidable. His whale bitbeast is strong and smart; it is perhaps the beast itself and not the blader that will defeat him.

Defeat has always left a bitter taste in his mouth.

He cannot lose, so much hangs on this one fight, this one battle.

All his power is in Dranzer and himself.

There is no more Black Dranzer and yet darkness still coils inside him. His grandfather knows this. Offers him another chance at glory, at power, another chance to chip away at his soul and this time Takao is witness.

Within himself there is a battle. To follow the desire for power would mean to submit to his grandfather's will once more, to live seeking someone else's idea of his worth. He's been down this road before.

The blade he launches is blue and Suzaku rises.

Defeat still taste bitter but this time there is a slight sweetness to it.

To be his own person, he has never felt so free.


Notes: I was 32 words short of a double drabble. Lol. I either go over or don't have enough words. Well I felt 'Faust' needed a complementary fic, and so wrote this. Thanks for reading.
p.s: Takao=Tyson and in the original Japanese, the blade was called Dranzer and the spirit was named Suzaku.
