Hello again, peeps. I'm still a wee bit scared that someone's gonna hate me for not adding Lu and Ciel...yeah...my apologies. Anyway, here's chapter 3, and I hope you enjoy!

"ELSWORD!"

Elsword instinctively raised his claymore, narrowly connecting his blade against Elesis's. Scar raised an eyebrow in curiosity as the elder of the two glared Elsword down. The younger Seigheart grimaced at how surprisingly strong she was as Conwell said, "Be careful, master; she has grown much stronger than when she attacked you!"

"I know that," Elsword said as Elesis backed away.

Raising Conwell, they charged each other, swords interlocking yet again as Elsword's claymore met her own sword. He then tried to follow up his attack using Conwell, only to get his wrist caught by her hand. He then looked into Elesis's now golden eyes.

Madness.

Insanity.

A lust for vengeance.

And yet, for all the emptiness in her eyes, there was still a hint of something. Something that, despite how she was acting, told him that she still cared. That she didn't want to fight him.

Exchanging blows yet again, Elsword locked his sword with hers yet again, but this time muttered, "Sword Blasting."

Three Conwells appeared behind him, charging straight for Elesis. However, the older Seigheart's gaze narrowed in annoyance as she raised her leg, kicking him back, knocking the wind out of him. Elsword went flying back as she cut one sword down, then somehow caught the second, then taking out the third with the sword she had caught. Elsword's eyes widened as he regained his footing, watching as she dropped the second Conwell, smashing the blade in two with her own sword as her deathly glare landed on him, causing him to shiver.

"Elsword…."

Elsword gave a slight flinch as Elesis raised her sword at him.

"Sh…she…remembers me…," Elsword thought to himself as he braced himself for an attack. Elesis's gaze narrowed as she rose her second hand towards one of the spikes on the hand guard, intentionally cutting herself. Elsword raised an eyebrow in curiosity, suddenly remembering what had happened when she had intentionally hurt herself last time.

"Blood for Blood," Elesis muttered, suddenly disappearing again.

Elsword immediately raised his sword, feeling a heavy "CLANG" echo through the air as he landed on his back, causing his eyes to shut close. Opening them, he immediately saw Elesis's body towering over him, her golden eyes glaring down as she pointed her sword down to his throat. He craned his neck a bit as she said, "I swore to never kill a human."

His heart began pounding as she continued, "But if you'll keep getting in my way…."

"Elesis, please stop!"

Elesis looked up, seeing Ara and Aisha looking at her.

"Try to think about what you're doing," Ara said to her, slowly approaching her. Elesis's glare landed on them next as she removed her blade from Elsword's throat. She then got off of Elsword, walking towards Ara, who flinched as Elesis's form approaching her made her feel awfully small.

Scar's laugh suddenly cut through the tense air, causing everyone to look at him as his form suddenly began to grow faded.

"My apologies," Scar said, "But as much as I'd love to watch you all tear each other apart, I must take my leave."

Elesis immediately turned to him and said, "No you won't!"

She charged head long for him again, this time unhindered by Elsword. Elsword quickly scrambled to his feet, but couldn't grab Conwell on time to stop her as she slashed at the fading figure. However, the figure gave off a laugh, finally disappearing as the place she had slashed at slowly came back together. Elesis's glare sharpened as she fell onto he knees in defeat. She clawed at the ground before her as her anger came out in the form of dark energy swirling around her as she looked back up to the blood red sky.

"SCAAAAAAAARRR!"

Elesis's scream echoed for what seemed like miles as Elsword walked over, picking up the real Conwell. The Elgang watched on as he slowly approached his sister. Aisha's heart began pounding in worry and excitement as he was finally standing before her.

"Sis, I-."

Suddenly, Conwell appeared to his right as a "CLANG" filled the air. His eyes widened as her deathly glare landed on him yet again, her golden eyes now more intense than ever. He blinked in confusion as she said, "You…I had him…right where I wanted…!"

Elsword's eyes widened in fear as she suddenly lunged at him with her other hand, grabbing onto his neck and throwing him against the ground.

"Elsword!"

The Elgang began running towards the two, but stopped short as Elesis put her sword up to Elsword's neck. She looked up at them, giving them the silent message. They all stood in fear, dreading what could happen next as her glare went right back down to Elsword, who was clutching at her wrist.

"S…sis…! St…op…!"

The younger Seigheart was helpless as she leaned down to him and said, "Now…how should I kill you…?"

"Elesis!"

However, Elesis was deaf to Ara's calls as she asked, "Should I snap your neck?"

Her grip on Elsword's neck tightened, causing him to gawk as his oxygen supply was cut off. He tensed up, tightening his grip on her wrist as she asked, "Should I cut you one-thousand times?"

She lowered her sword, leaving a cut on his cheek.

"Or," she finally asked, "Should I rip your heart out?"

Elsword opened his eyes, looking deep into his sister's eyes.

Elesis remained emotionless.

However, deep within, a war was raging with her consciousness and the Dark El.

Elesis could only watch helplessly as she began strangling the life out of her younger brother. She gripped her sword harder as a dark figure approached her cage and asked, "You only brought this upon yourself."

She turned and glared at the shadowy figure as he hiked his sword onto his shoulder and continued, "You wanted to survive…that's why you absorbed the Dark El."

"Yes," she replied, raising her sword at him, "And to avenge my comrades!"

"Indeed," the figure agreed, "But how about your brother?"

Elesis's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Do you know why he absorbed Dark El?"

She almost couldn't believe it; Elsword had absorbed Dark El?"

"No…," she said in disbelief, dropping her sword, "No…no no no! Elsword would never do that!"

The figure looked at her, letting out a maniacal laugh similar to her own as he said, "Fool! He did it so he could protect his loved ones!"

"He did it because of you! You were the reason he absorbed Dark El so that he could protect the ones he loves! You are such a fool!"

Elesis dropped down to her knees as the figure continued, "And now you are making all his effort for naught!"

She looked back down to where she was still strangling her brother, her evil sword still at his neck, keeping the rest of the gang at bay. Tears streaked down her eyes as she gripped whatever ground she was on, bringing her hands up to cover her eyes. Her sobbing became audible throughout the entire chamber as the shadowy figure walked up to her, an evil smirk painted on his face.

"I'm sorry," she whispered out, "I'm sorry Elsword, I'm sorry!"

"El…sis…."

Her eyes suddenly opened as she heard Elsword's voice again.

"F…fight it…please…fight…it…!"

Suddenly, she looked up, seeing the figure raising his sword at her.

"Goodbye, Elesis," the figure said, bringing his sword down on her.

Instinctively, Elesis reached for her own sword, bringing it up and parrying the attack, throwing him off balance. The figure reeled backwards, only to get stabbed by her sword. The figure let out a cough as Elesis sighed. The chamber around them began to crack as the figure said, "hehe…guess…I…let my…guard…down…."

Elesis slowly twisted her sword in him, pulling the blade out as shadows began pouring from the figure's open wound. She stared on as it slowly reeled onto the floor, looking back at where she was still strangling Elsword. She gave him a hopeless smile, putting her weapon on her back as she said, "…you still need some training, Els…."

Elesis's grip faltered as her eyes widened in shock. She let go of Elsword's neck, dropping her sword as she reeled backwards, gripping her head as she groaned in pain. The Elgang immediately ran over to Elsword, who was gripping his neck and gasping for breath as Elesis let out pained cries, holding herself up against a wall with one hand while holding her head with the other.

"Wh…what…are…you…doing…!?"

Elsword's eyes widened with surprise as Elesis began talking with herself.

"This…is…my…body!"

Her eyes opened momentarily, quickly shifting from scarlet red to gold, and so on.

"You…seek…revenge…," she said with her golden eyes, "I…can…help…you…!"

Suddenly, her eyes shifted to scarlet as she replied, "No! I'm…doing it…myself…!"

Her eyes landed on Elsword who flinched in surprise as she said, "E…El…sword…!"

"Elsword," Raven said, getting him back up to his feet, "If you're gonna do it, it's now or never!"

"Right," Elsword replied, picking up Conwell as he charged for her head on. Elesis's eyes changed back to gold as she tried getting out of the way. However, Elesis wasn't going to have any of it, changing her eyes back to scarlet as Conwell found itself inside her body. Her eyes, now golden, widened in shock as the sword found itself digging deeper into her body.

Deep inside, Elesis was glad that Elsword had done it.

"Conwell," Elsword commanded "Now!"

"As you command, master," Conwell replied, suddenly absorbing the Dark El from her body into his own.

Elesis's eyes began changing insanely quickly as she felt the Dark El being absorbed from her body. She gripped Conwell to get the blade out of her, but then felt her hands get pried off held against the wall by Raven and Chung. She then began screaming, flailing her legs about as Ophelia and Oberon came in to subdue her legs. Aisha used restraining magic on her as Ara ran over, holding her spear against the still struggling legs. Add watched on in curiosity as Conwell continuously absorbed the surprisingly massive amount of Dark El that Elesis had absorbed.

Elsword fought against the pain of absorbing the Dark El as Conwell said, "Hold on just a little longer, master!"

"Easy for you to say," Elsword grimaced as it felt like a war was waging in his body.

"Hehe," the voice from earlier returned, "So now you're absorbing dark energy that was meant for vengeance?"

"If it'll save my sister!"

"You truly are a fool."

Suddenly, it felt like something had stabbed through Elsword's body as the Dark El began overloading his system. He faltered momentarily, shaking it off quickly as Conwell continued to absorb the energy.

"Khh…!"

"You WILL submit to me!"

"Like hell I will!"

"Give into the darkness!"

"Never!"

"Master," Conwell stated, "Dark El absorption is complete!"

With that, Elsword pulled Conwell away, tossing him to the other side of the tower as he landed on his back, immediately clutching his chest. Aisha immediately ran over to him, holding him up in a seated position as his chest felt like it could burst at any given moment.

"Yes," the voice continued, "Just let me take over…."

"N…no…," Elsword said, rolling onto his front and off of Aisha. She went over to him again as dark energy began swirling around him. The Elgang ran over to her prying her off as the dark energy circle began to grow in size.

"RRRRRGGGGH!"

Elsword's body felt like it was going to get ripped in half as he rolled about on the ground. His eyes switched from his original red shade to golden and back as he struggled to regain control of his body.

"Give in, little boy!"

"Never…!"

Elesis's eyes cracked open as she shook her head, regaining herself.

"Elsword," she immediately thought, her eyes widening as she shot to her feet, immediately tracking down her brother, who was rolling about on the ground with dark energy swirling all around him.

"Elsword!"

Elesis immediately ran towards him, but was stopped by Ara, who grabbed her from behind.

"Ara, what are you-!?"

"We can't help him, Elesis!"

"No," she denied, "He's my brother! If something were to happen-!"

"We can't do anything," she repeated with a cracked voice, "Elesis…we can't…!"

Elesis felt her heart shatter as Elsword struggled against the darkness inside him. Suddenly, his eyes met hers in what felt like an eternity as they silently exchanged their feelings.

"I'm…glad you're alright…sis," he muttered out before letting out another groan of pain.

The dark energy intensified around him as he gripped his head, feeling the darkness start to creep into his head.

Elsword's scream echoed from the top of the tower as a massive pillar of dark energy pierced the sky.

Soooo Elboy absorbs the Dark El and all hell breaks loose because he can't control it!

...I'm joking. Anyway, should I call this a wrap? Or should I continue? I'll let you decide.

(Hint: it's the latter)
