Chapter 25

"What?" the women said. She was stairing at the newcomer.

"How did you survive that attack? Pride should have been able to defeat you!" the woman shrieked.

"I survived because of what the Gate and my parents gave me." the newcomer said. Just then three more people came into view. One was a suit of armor.

"So, Kesho it seems that you must have been able to harness the power of the Gate to defeat Pride." the woman took a step closer to the door she was in front of.

"No, I didn't harness the power of the Gate. I used what the Gate gave me. I'm not going to help you take over the world, Dante!" Kesho said.

"Lyra?" Ed gasped. "What are you doing here?"

"Ed, the person you know as Lyra doesn't exist anymore. Dante took her body and made it her own." Kesho told him.

"Smart girl. I jumped body's when Greed was released. Envy have fun." Dante left the room.

Envy grinned and changed into the form of Kesho's mother again.

"Will you hurt your own mother, Kesho?" he asked using the voice of Kesho's mother.

"Oh, I know which mom is the real one! The one that was murdered 12 years ago!" Kesho yelled. Her head fell forward and then snapped back up. Her eyes were crimson. She had unleashed KETAH once more.

"You can't beat me. You don't know my weakness." Envy taunghted her.

"I don't need your weakness now Envy. I have the Gate." Kesho clapped her hands and the Gate appeared behind Envy. He whirled and looked at the Gate. The doors opened and black hands and arms came out. They grabbed Envy and to him inside the Gate.

"Child, you have helped attone for few of this world. Help to stop Dante and the world will be safe from evil minds like hers. There will still be conflict but those like Dante will never return." The Gate spoke, and everyone except Mark had heard it at least once before.

"Come on. We have to stop Dante." Kesho ran through the door that Dante had gone through. When they got to a humungous ball room, Kesho again felt a terrible pain in her shoulders. This time she was able to keep from screaming. Her wings appeared and were the same way they had last been black with the silver ruins. Kesho rolled her shoulders.

"Dante! Come out, Envy's gone! He took a trip through the Gate! And it was one way!"

"What!" Dante shriked. She came out from behind a large piller. She clapped her hands and placed one on the piller. A giant spike headed strait for Kesho and the others. The three guys jumped out of the way but Kesho just stood there. Just as the spike was about to hit her, she clapped her hands. The spike stopped in its tracks. Dante gaped at Kesho because Kesho hadn't even touched the spike.

"How did you do that?" Dante asked.

"By harnessing the power of the Gate." Kesho answered, "Dante say goodbye to this world and hello to the Gate!"

Kesho clapped her hands and the Gate appeared behind Dante. Dante clapped her hands and chains appeared around the Gate, keeping it from opening its doors.

"Oh, no. Kesho's in trouble. I've got to help her!" Al thought. That's when he decided to make his move. While Dante and Kesho were fighting Al went around and up to the Gate. He drew his transmutation circle and used alchemy to make the chains on the Gate dissappear.

"AL!!!!" Ed yelled as his brothers armor fell to the floor. Dante had pierced a hole right where Al's bloodseal was located.

"DANTE!!!!" Kesho's voice boomed throughout the hall. Dante stopped and looked at her. Kesho's wings were shining. The ruins that were enscribed on them started to take form in the air around Dante.

"What is this?" Dante gasped.

"It's a sealing circle that will take you in the Gate and will never let you leave. Because if you try, you will die." Kesho told her, tears were streaming down her face. She had just lost one of her only friends to this pshyco. She would not lose another. Kesho clapped her hands and Dante was sent into the Gate for good.
