Chapter 7
Should We Fuse?

"Well," started Erikson, "do you think you're ready for fusion?"
"I hope so," responds Blade. "I just hope we'll have enough power to beat Darkseid, that rotten
bastard."
Erikson sits down and pulls out a small red fancy box. While he opens it, a blue light comes out
of it. Blade turns his head because of all the light being brought out. Finally, when it's open,
two shimmering red earrings are placed there. Blade looks at them, his face turning into a
blueish color. Erikson takes one out and says to Blade, "You pull out the other one."
Blade reaches in and pulls out the earring. The one he picks out goes on the right ear. "Hey
Erikson," says Blade, "whose body are we using?"
Erikson turns his head toward Blade and starts to laugh. "Of course we're using yours, what else
would we have it?"
Blade starts to smile and fastens it onto his right ear. Erikson puts his earring on his left ear.
Blade and Erikson start to turn into an all blue light and they start to come together. The whole
room they were in is now all blue. Galban runs to see what is happening and sees the two flashes
of light. Blade comes out and now, his coat has turned to a lighter blue, his pants, which were
blue, have now become black, his blue Mohawk, a full shoulder-length of hair, all blue.
"Blade?" says Galban.
Blade turns to Galban with blue energy surrounding him and says, "Yes?"
"What happened?" replies Galban.
"Me and Erikson fused so I can have enough strength to defeat Darkseid."
Galban notices the earrings that are on Blade's ears. "You used the Potarra earring!"
Blade nods his head. "Galban," says Blade. "Stay here. I'm going to find Darkseid and destroy
him."
Galban starts, "But Blade! Let me at least give you a reading of your new power."
Blade hesitantly accepts and follows with Galban to the Power Room. Galban goes behind the
glass and starts up a machine. Blade starts to power up and charges up. The whole room
becomes a light blue as Galban reads the machine from behind closed doors. Galban starts to
think. "Hmm," starts Galban to himself. "This could be what we need."
Blade powers down and walks out of the room. "So?" says Blade.
"This is incredible!" exclaims Galban. "You could have more than enough power to destroy
Darkseid!"
"That's all I needed to know," says Blade.
With that, Blade powers up again and flies out of the building in search of Darkseid.
