Dark didn't have anything to say. He raised his staff in both hands and slammed it down on his raised leg, breaking it in half. The orb part of the original staff lengthened to recreate what had been broken off. The bottom half lengthened as well but looked like it was just a staff.

"That can't be good," The Commander whispered beside me.

"No its not," I replied, slowly putting my hands on my swords. "He can do this."

"Are you sure?"

"No." I answered.

He didn't speak again, at least I don't think he did.

I watched Dark adjust to the new weapons and watched as he shrugged off his green cape. It floated down to the ocean and dissolved into foam. Dark revealed his white shirt and aimed his right hand in Mark's direction. The staff gathered dark energy at the end. Dark turned to the other one and faced it out, away from the battle. His cruel smile returned and his eyes turned black.

He breathed in and faced the sky. He let out a deep breath and looked at Mark, "This planet is saturated in hatred."

I was unsure of how I would personally retaliate from that but Mark spoke.

"I guess you can't feel the love!" He asked in a powerful voice that travelling across the ocean. He smiled similarly to Dark and I watched his eyes turn white.

"That's gotta be Wilford finally pulling through," I whispered.

I blinked and turned to the flash of light by Demon. I watched Light glow white. He looked at Hero, smiled then focused on Mark. Light closed his eyes as he turned into a ray of light that beamed over to Mark's chest.

Mark laughed happily and let his left arm glow white entwined with the electricity. His head fell back and he breathed in. As he breathed out, his black and red wings started turning white. It stopped half way across. It looked good though. The white covered the majority of the black and red then faded away. A white streak flashed in his black hair then faded as well.

"What the hell!?" Dark yelled in anger, still holding his arms up. He glared at Demon then turned back to Mark.

Mark slowly moved his arms through the air and stopped them in front of him. As he moved, massive sparks of static electricity shot out into the air. He shielded himself from the incoming attack.

This attack drew hatred from the air and filtered it through Dark to the orb. The orb could condense it then shoot it out at the target. Dark laughed as it hit Mark's shield. "That can't protect you!"

Mark threw his arms down, redirecting the shot to the ocean. "No! It can't! But it sure as hell can redirect it!" He shouted then angled his wings to push him up. He spun around and swung a kick, shooting arcs of electricity in Dark's direction.

Dark shielded himself and retaliated with multiple strikes. Mark kept up with them and moved around the sky, dodging certain attacks, shielding himself from others and punching large volts of electricity towards him. As he punched, Dark had to shield himself more than once and was always pushed back. Mark started punching in combos, adding double the damage to Dark's fading shield.

I watched Hero try to get up. Demon pushed him down but he got back up and glared at Demon. Hero easily snapped his arms free from the bindings. He gathered his strength and punched Demon in the face. "That's for my little Tim!" Hero shouted and flew off to join Mark.

Mark paused in his attacks long enough for Hero to rejoin him the same way Light had. Hero's M logo on his outfit showed up on Mark's bare chest then faded away.

Dark watched and couldn't figure out what to do, "Demon!" He shouted and his sidekick joined him on his dark cloud. "Your job was to make them watch Mark die!"

Demon stepped back.

Dark aimed his staffs at Demon, "Do you want to join them? Is that your plan?"

Demon didn't respond and stepped back again, to the edge of the darkness. Dark put the tips of both staffs on Demon's chest. Dark's face started to match the color of his eyes as Demon screamed in pain. He put his hands on the staffs but that only sped up the process.

I felt my own anger rise as I watched Dark destroy Demon. The effects showed on my arms and into my swords. The Commander looked at me and backed up, "I'll uh, see you back at HQ then?" he laughed in nervous fear and stepped backwards through a portal. When it closed I took down the barrier.

I stood on the sand, held my swords out and waited for Dark to notice a change in energy, if he was strong enough to notice that.

He looked in my direction right away as the barrier fell. He started laughing as Demon was absorbed into the staffs. A black beam of energy surrounded him and he raised his staffs to the sky.

I flew up to Mark and joined him in the emanating electricity stance. He glanced at me. I could see joy and happiness and thrill, all of which matched the emotions I was feeling from him.

Mark held up Hell Raiser in one hand then his claws surrounded electricity as it gathered in his hand. I held up my swords and felt them react to the dark energy in the air. They started absorbing that energy and rerouted it through the blades to make a powerful attack out of it.

I hovered in place, careful to not throw Mark off balance. He was too focused on the fight anyway. He moved away from me and kept his attention on Dark.

I watched as Mark moved to the side before Dark even aimed his strike. It was a swift strike. I watched Mark's ears twitch and he moved again, dodging another attack.

I looked to the side and saw Dark strike at me. I let it hit me and I flew backwards. I felt the effects of the attack but it healed immediately, which could be because his dark energy doesn't affect me. I curled up and let myself fall from the impact. I straightened out and put my swords away. I semi-guided myself towards the island and crashed to a halt in the sand. My wings splayed out around me. I lay still for a few moments.

"She's weak." He looked down at me. "I'll kill her first." He turned to Mark. "And make you watch." Dark started moving towards me, slowly moving his staff back and forth in front of him.
