Shadowcobra opened his eyes and found himself in an endless white space. There was nothing there and he couldn't tell which way was up or down.
"Where am I?" he asked himself. He then realized that he wasn't in his armor. "How did I get here? The last thing I remember is…" He paused. "Raven!" He looked around. "Where's Raven!"
"Ichi…" a gentle voice called. He froze. He knew that voice.
"Who?" he questioned as the angelic figure approached him. She was wearing a white robe and had a pair of shining angel wings behind her. However, he wasn't focused on those. He was more focused on the face of the angel. "Misha? Is this a trick? Is that really you?"
The angel nodded and gave a soft and gentle smile. Ichijyo felt himself calming down. For some reason he knew that this wasn't some sort of trick. "I've missed you," Ichijyo told her.
"As I have too," she returned. "I've been watching over you, Ichi, and I am proud of you." She then told him, "But, you need to forget me."
Ichijyo's eyes widened with shock at the request, "Forget you? Forget you!? I can't do that!" He reached out for her but his hand passed right through. "What?"
"I am not really here. I am only a vision," she said, sadly. "I am here to tell you to move on with your life, Ichi."
"But I have," he told her defiantly. "I have moved on."
"You still can't forgive yourself for what happened to me and turned it into an obsession. You became a Knight because of me," she told him.
He fell silent. She was right about that. "But, Misha. I…" She placed a finger to his lips to silence him.
"Someone else needs you now. I'm happy that you loved me, Ichi. I really am," she said, smiling serenely, "But, now, please forget me. You need to in order to access the power to save Raven."
Raven. Yes, she was in danger. That corrupt priest was going to. "I do. She needs me."
Misha smiled and then leaned down to give him one final kiss. She didn't pass right through him this time and he could feel it. She did love him, but they were on different planes of existence now.
"Go to her," she said, finally, and then he saw only a blinding white light.
All of his memories of Misha were being burnt away. He would no longer remember her face after this.
Shadowcobra woke up, standing tall, now clad in his Zodiac Armor. However, now it was all black with silver trimmings and his cobra emblem had been replaced by a Deathtron symbol. The visor of his helmet had also turned blood red. Hanging from his back were a pair of black angel wings.
He opened his eyes and they were locked on the corrupt priest. "You're mine," he hissed as he spread out his wings. "Now DIE!"
