Ren (Part one) Chapter Nine: Power

As Ren opened the door, Kura's body was floating above her bed. Strange lines of data flew over her.

"Codes..." Ren thought as she walked over to Kura.

"!" A spark assailed Ren causing her to lose balance.

"...Stay away from this one...." a voice ordered.

"Wh-what the hell?!" Ren stood up as another spark attacked her.

"Useless data, I do not need another host." The voice grew angry.

"...!" Ren felt a sharp pain in her heart again. "You won't take her!" Ren thought as she felt something form in the palm of her hand.

"What?!" The voice grew angrier as Ren was now holding a sword.

It was the soul edge.

...My power will consume you!

Ren lost control of herself and attacked the data.

The lines began fading as the scream died out.

...I need more souls...not weak ones...

Outside the house, Link defeated the ghost but he didn't see the same Ren leaving the house.

"Ren? What are you?" Link asked but Ren attacked him silently.

...No more child, you will be the next soul.

Link blocked the sword's strike with his hylian shield. "Ren wake up!" he ordered trying to reach her.

...Do you want her back? Now that I am in this world I am limitless with this body. You should just die!

Ren had a blank look on her face as she kept attacking Link recklessly.

Link was trying to think of a way to save her.

"Damn that child!" Nightmare said as he stood up top of a building. "She took what was rightfully mine." he looked around the city.

"Release Ren now!" Link ordered as he struck an arrow in Ren's shoulder.

Ren flinched in shock and covered the mark with her hand. "Link, why did you hurt me?" she asked.

"Ren...I-" Link tried to speak until Ren tackled him to the ground.

...Stupid, why do you want to save her? She is nothing but a pitiful human and there is nothing you can do.

"I can save her!" Link spoke as Kura walked out the door.

"Stop her Link, stop the soul edge." Kura muttered before falling.

...Ha-ha! Stupid fools, no one can stop me!

Link shot another arrow and this time it knocked Ren out. "Shut up..." he muttered.

...If you love this girl so much then you can take her, in the afterlife!

Ren grinned as she raised the soul edge.

"Ren, I won't lose you like this." Link said as he held his hand out in front of Ren's face.

What are you doing?!

A light flashed in Ren's eyes and flashes of dark light flew out of her.

Noooo!!

Link caught Ren from falling and held her.
