Chapter 21: Burst
The room remained silent for half a minute before Barry smirked and said, staring at Dawn, "What? Don't know how to react to seeing your childhood best friend?" He walked over to her and put his hand under her chin and lifted her head.
She had a look of disgust on her face as he was about to rub her cheek, Lucas growled, "Do not touch her, you bastard…"
This took Barry's attention away from Dawn, but diverted it to Lucas, who wasn't in the best shape. Barry chuckled and walked over to him. Barry kneeled right in front of him and whispered, though everyone could hear it in the silent room, "You got guts to say that to me, even though I could kill you with the flick of my wrist. I mean, seems to me you've got a death wish." Then Barry grabbed Lucas' throat and lifted him up, and continued, "And I would be happy to oblige."
Barry began choking Lucas, who was squirming to try to escape, when a voice filled with rage called out, "Drop him, and I might let you live."
Everyone looked towards the voice and saw Sun standing. Even though Gravity was still in effect, he was somehow standing, though his nose was bleeding, he had a giant gash on his forehead, and his arm was twisted from being embedded into a wall. Barry stared at him for a second and began laughing hysterically, so much that he did actually drop Lucas. Gold, who could barely talk from the force of Gravity on him, croaked, "Sun, don't… Lillie wouldn't want you to…"
Sun shook his head, actually smiled and said with a cocky attitude, "Don't worry, I've got this."
Barry, who was crying from laughing so hard, began to stand up and said, "Oh really? And what do you have? I have power beyond your comprehension. What do you have?"
Sun glared at Barry and said simply, "A plan."
Barry rolled his eyes and said, "Heh, well that ain't going to help you." In a split second, Barry charged at Sun and threw him across the room, Sun landing right on top of his pack, which he had dropped because of Barry's Psychic attack. Barry began to howl with laughter and said, "How'd that plan work out for you Sun?"
To everyone's confusion, Sun began to chuckle. He tried to stand up, but almost collapsed. He just took a knee, and said, "Pretty good actually." Then he picked up his bag and pulled out…
"A flashlight?" Barry asked, clearly confused. "What are you going to do to me with a flashlight?"
Sun smiled and dropped it on the floor. The glass on it shattered, but Sun just picked it back up and pulled a gem out of the flashlight. Barry's eyes widened, speechless. Crystal noticed Barry's reaction and croaked, "What… what is it Sun?"
Sun smiled, staring at the gem. He looked up at Barry and said, "You know what it is, don't you?"
Barry said, clearly still shocked, "How… how did you find one of those?"
Sun responded, though ignoring his question, "I didn't know what this was when I was given it, though I was told it was important. After your little monologue, I though maybe, but when I saw a slight glow coming from my bag, I was sure."
Barry's lip twitched and he said, "Your bag… glowed?"
Sun smirked and said, "Yeah, and had you not been so preoccupied with your perfectness," saying this caused Sun to chuckled a little, before continuing, "you probably would have noticed."
Barry charged at Sun, but it was too late. Sun held up the gem and suddenly a shadow engulfed Sun, though this darkness seemed different than the one that had engulf Barry and his machine. That darkness seemed like that of a black hole, ready to devour everything. This shadow seemed more like that of a new moon, peaceful and full of life. Barry was unable to stop himself, and he charged straight into the shadow, which he bounced off, with enough force to send him hurtling into some boxes, which disrupted Barry's concentration, causing the Gravity to disappear.
All of Sun's friends stared at the shadow and Gold said, "What is going on? I've never seen this before…"
Everyone shook their heads, unsure of what was happening. Crystal walked over to Green and Gold and said, "How's Lillie?"
Gold and Green looked at each other and Green said, "Shit!"
The two reached down and rolled Lillie over, and looked at her. She was bleed pretty badly from her neck and she wasn't conscious. Gold checked her pulse and sighed with relief. "She's still got a pulse, though it's weak. We need to cover the wound." Green and Crystal nodded, though they didn't have anything. Gold took off his jacket and said to Green, "Put this on the wound and keep pressure on it. Crystal look through your bag to see if you have anything first aid related. I'm going to ask the others if they have anything." The two nodded, but the three were quickly stopped because they saw all the shadows begin to melt off Sun. When the shadow had melted away everyone stared in awe at Sun.
His black hair had become snow white, his jeans and jacket had disappeared, and deep purple jacket and pants remained, which oddly suited Sun. He appeared to be wearing a reddish cowl, but the strangest this was that his hands had become claws and a black aura surrounded him.
Sun stood still with his eyes closed. Slowly, he opened them up, revealing the final change: His black eyes had becoming a light green. He looked around and at himself. He smiled and said, his voice unchanged, "It worked."
Barry stood up and said, "How?! It would take years to form a bond like that, and with your appearance you joined with a…
Sun nodded and said, "A Darkrai. Yes."
Dawn stood up and said, "Wait! Can someone explain what's going on?"
Sun turn to her and smiled, "Well, Barry already did. What I just did is called Burst."
Barry growled, "A slight annoyance, but it's still just one of you against all of us." Then he smirked and said, "I doubt you could even take out one of my, what do you call them? Deobrids?" Then he motioned to on of his Deobrids to attack.
Sun stood in front of his friends. Red stood up, but Sun motioned for him to sit back down. "Take care of Lillie. I've got these guys." Then he charged the Deobrid.
It was in it's speed forme, and it tried to use Psychic on Sun, but nothing happened. Sun smiled and said, "Psychic type moves do nothing to Dark types." Then he used Shadow Claw on it, and eviscerated it. There nothing but blood and guts left of the Deobrid. Sun looked at his claw, which was soaked in blood. Then he looked up, smiling and said, "That all you got Barry?"
Barry's eyes were filled with rage when he turned and he said to his other Deobrids, "What are you doing? ATTACK!"
