It's a big leap for me,to try to portray the essence of lunacy. I hope I did it well.

Click. He heard the sound of a doorknob being turned. Crrreeeakk.. A door being opened somewhere. He felt his face being lifted up. From darkness,there came a spot of light.

Click..clack..click..clack.. The footsteps were vaguely familiar,but he couldn't remember where he heard them.

Then,he stepped into the light. No,it couldn't be. For he was himself. There could be no one else but him. But yet this apparition looked like him,smiled like him. Even had the gross left eye of his.

You look surprised to see me.

"Tch.."

How long did you think I would be suppressed?

"Kahaha.. Not long enough apparently!" he struggled against the invisible chains holding him back.

Kahaha! Admit it,I have true power. The power you hope for!

"I will control you! I WILL!" he rushed towards his doppelganger,only to hit an invisible wall.

Now,now.. Don't be so rushed.. Shakesword once said.. 'If thine enemy is me,thou shalt not fight back' the lunatic let go of the fancy covered book he had procured from his pocket.

Kahaha! But alas alas,all we have is time!

The boy stared at him with the crazed look he had come to hate,snapped his fingers,and disappeared into the darkness.

~Line Break~

"Add! Wakey wakey!" a familiar,soothing voice echoed in his head.

"mm..ph.. Get.. off.."he slurred in his words.

"Welcome back!" he felt himself being choked by a hug.

"A..ir.." he gasped,until the SD was finally pulled away from him.

"Give the boy some breathing space!" Elesis chided her,luckily being stronger than the former.

"You've been out for…" Elsword struggled to remember. "2.. 3 days now?"

"Accurately 1 day 21 hours 43minutes and 32 seconds.. 33.." Eve corrected him.

"That's close enough!" the knight nervously added.

He managed to catch part of the conversation,as he looked around the room. He seemed to be in a girl's room… Someone who liked foxes and orange clothing..

"I'm in Ara's room." He stated,a bit wary of the weird concoction he would likely have swallowed during his time consciously away.

Just then,Raven walked into the room,with a weird Ponggo that carried some kind of wire along his neck.

"Pfft. How are ya,doc?" he grinned. "Never thought you,of all people, would be the one to give little old me a checkup."

"A dark El poisoning is no laughing matter,son." The ponggo turned to face the lunatic,as he began to check his body for any signs of degradation. "Only God knows how your body is physically able to keep up.. But.. dark El works in mysterious ways.."

"Kahaha! I'm already sick in the head! There's nothing to worry about there!" he laughed maniacally.

" I suppose so." the doctor eyed him suspiciously,before whispered a few words towards Raven,which nodded in acknowledgement.

He does not trust you. Neither do your so called friends. A sudden burst of pain erupted from his head.

"G…get AWAY!" he swiped at the air,his vision blurred.

"G-gah!" an ebonette now sat on the floor,a hole in the wood where the lazer had passed through where she stood.

"F-F*ck." he surveyed everyone's shocked faces,especially the girl he had almost harmed.

"P-Phase.. Shift.." he muttered. To get away was his only thought.

~Line Break~

Drip.. Drip… Drip.. The boy appeared by a sharp cliff,on a deserted hill.

He lifted his hand up,watched as the rain slipped through his fingers and unto his face.

What are you doing here in self pity?

He looked up to find the ghostly apparition was once again looking at him,wearing a grin on that irritating face.

Your face you mean? You forget,I AM YOU.

"SHUT UP!" he threw a rock at his doppelganger.

"Kya!" he looked up and found himself staring face to face with Ara.

"Ara!" he cried.

Oh.. How pitiful.. The girl stood up,as she faced him with none other than his own face. So.. So.. Pitiful… Kahaha!

"You..You!" his left eye glowed with rage, "Particle Acc-!"

With a small motioning with his hand,the splitting headache presented itself,rendering the boy helpless as he crouched in the soil in pain.

Come here.. the other him beckoned to him.

He couldn't control his body,the limbs now had free reign. He staggered across to where a wild hare lay dying.

Do you remember the reason you broke out of the library?

"U..rgh.."

Like this hare.. so soft and defenceless.. We were once like this.. But look at us now..

His left eye glowed with murderous intent.

We can do THIS!

He picked up the hare,and ripped it into two with his bare hands easily,its blood running down his clutched his hands,and raised them to cover his left eye.

"N..No.. I.. wanted this power.. to protect.. I.. won't let something like that happen.. not every again.." he panted

Is that why you thought it would be smart to implant dark El essence into your Nasod armor?

He looked up and saw himself smirking.

"I CAN.. AND WILL CONTROL YOU!" he made a scramble for the other him.

Nice try.. I always liked that.. about me.

Another smile,another smirk. As he felt his head start to split apart. He knelt down,as tears began to blur his view. The sound of a lightning storm echoed in the distance.

He looked up and saw the man that had murdered his mother,the man who had given him that accursed scar.

Ooh.. What's this..

"Get THE F*CK AWAY!"

Fiesty one huh.. Here.. Let me help with that..

"No..no! No!" as the man covered his face with his palm.

Good night.. Me.. VOID BREAKER!

It can only get worse from here! I'm sorry for uploading another short chapter...
