I started posting this on my Archive of our own account. I hope you guys like it there too.
Kouji stood watch over Kouichi, perplexed. Why didn't Kouichi respond to him? "Kouichi..." he walked to the glass and watched as Kouixhi furiously hit the glass.
"Damnit! Let me the hell out! I want revenge on the mortals who killed my brother!" Kouji looked at him hurt.
"Kouichi... It's me, Kouji. Your twin..." Kouji blinked when Kouichi grinned sadistically and backed away.
"I knew that. But, say that to Duskmon." Kouji turned and groaned when he was thrown against the glass by Duskmon. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched 'Kouichi' change into Loki, who still grinned sadistically. Duskmon transformed back into Kouichi and released Loki. "And, I thought Kouji would perhaps... be smarter than his brother?" Loki grabbed his staff and smirked, watching the two, "Now, servant, find the nearest escape root and I'll deal with him." Kouichi nodded and slid through the air vents, searching. Loki turned and grabbed Kouji's neck, lifting him up, "You really know how to piss me off!" He slammed Kouji's head into the glass, before putting him on his back. He ventured through, remaining invisibly and smirked when he heard people ran out in all directions. Looks like Velgmon had caused a mighty distraction. He walked on top of the building and waved Velgmon down, jumping onto his back. When the Avengers knew what hit them, Loki knew, he'd have both darkness and light on his side.
"Hush now, sweet angel... Wake up one day~... and, be your normal self~..."
That voice... Kouichi looked around in his dream and saw a woman dressed in white. He approached her and she smiled sweetly, "I'm glad you returned, Kouichi."
"Who are you! Why have you been invading my dreams since I first became loyal to Loki!" barked Kouichi. The woman smiled softly at him, shocking the boy when she showed she was not afraid. She got up and walked towards Kouichi. smiling sweetly.
"You don't remember your own mother, Kouichi? That is very sad." When she was closer, Kouichi saw she was very frail and looked like she was dying. "I have been searching for you for ten years. Finally, I found you, in your dream and in my own dream." She hugged him and for some reason, despite not knowing her, he couldn't bear to let her go. He hugged her back, blinked. "Do you remember now, Kouichi? Do you remember your father? Do you remember your friends? Do you remember Kouji?" Kouichi let go of her, staring.
He growled angrily, "Who the fuck is Kouji! And, why is it every time I hear that name, I feel a horrible pain!"
"You don't even remember your own twin? He saved you, you know that. Not from Loki... But, from yourself. Now, he needs you as Loki wishes to kill him. Save your brother, Kouichi."
Kouichi awoke with a start, staring at the wall. What was she talking about? He stared when his D-Scanner floated to him and a voice came out of it. "Kouichi, I am very disappointed in you." One of his transformations, Loewemon, was speaking to him. "You let darkness take over. Even Duskmon and Velgmon don't like this side of you. We want to take the spirits from you." Soon, Kouichi groaned and held his chest as he watched the four statue-like spirits were ripped from his soul and came into the D-Scanner. "When we believe you are good again, Kouichi, we'll return. You not only have to prove it to us, but to yourself." He looked around, his eyes changing completely to deep blue. He remembered now. Loki had kidnapped him just after leaving the hospital. He had used a spell to take control of his mind and corrupted him. When his four spirits came to save him, Loki had cast a spell to seal them into the D-Scanner. They were forced to transform as Kouichi and even the corrupted spirits did not like it. Loki had used a spell to make him think Kouji was dead. Kouji...
Kouji! Kouichi stared in realization. Loki still had him. He ventured out quickly, searching for his twin. He didn't care if he didn't get his spirits back, because, at this moment... He didn't need his powers to get Kouji back.
I know, it's a shorter chapter, but it's setting up to Kouichi being true to himself and being free completely from Loki's influence.
