Bartok Xiaoyu
By Shad_Lüv & Somic

"Hey, you're getting back at Blade, without even hitting him or slapping him," said Shad_Lüv, morphing back into himself.
"Well, I have to go save him, if it gets serious, the only person in the whole world who is allowed to seriously injure some one is me," she said.
"Or the devil," said Myzt.
"I AM THE DEVIL!" screamed Lynx.
"Okay, lets go," said Sonar, walking out the house with Lynx and Myzt.
"Yes! We get to see someone finally kick crap outta Jin Ishikawa, stupid Echidna thinks he's sooo hard just because he has a katana, and he's screwed Rouge, I mean loads of guys have screwed Rouge," moaned Somic.
"Oh, c'mon. At least we won't get hurt," said Soniv Xeroi, from across the lawn.
Shad_Lüv, Soniv Xeroi, Sydney and Somic all followed Lynx, Myzt and Sonar to where the fight was being held.

Lynx turned round the corner into the main part of town, the floor was totally covered with blood, a few parts of Jin Ishikawa's clothing was across the ground not far from her, Lynx stepped onto the blood, as her eyes began to fill with tears. Myzt and Sonar were beside her.
"W-W-Where is he?" wept Lynx, tears began running down her face.
"Maybe he's been killed," said Sonar, looking the scene over. "I mean there's so much blood here, it looks like a herd of cattle has been slaughtered, but don't give up hope, Lynx, I could be wrong,"
"Well, he can't be too far," said Myzt. "C'mon, maybe he's just down here," Myzt began walking down the bloodstained footpath.
Lynx turned away from Sonar. "What if he is dead?" she wept.
"Then it won't be your fault," said Sonar, trying to comfort her.
"Yes it will be, I hoped for him to be taken down when he least expected it, and now this has happened, it's all my fault," she burst out crying.
"Well, you can either run from it or, learn from it," said Sonar.
"OH JUST GET AWAY FROM ME!" screamed Lynx.
Sonar scampered away as fast as he could run. He ran all the way back to the house, and hid under his duvet, shaking uncontrollably from shock.
Lynx was walking miserably along the blood stained footpath, when Shad_Lüv ran up to her.
"Shadow!" she gasped. "Wazzup?"
"We've found Jin!" he cried, slightly panting.
"Is he okay?"
"He's still hanging on, but only just," said Shad_Lüv. "We've got a plan together but we need you to help with one part of it,"
"What?" asked Lynx as she ran along beside Shad_Lüv back to where Jin was, getting ripped to bits.
"Well, this new guy has Jin's Katana, so Jin can't exactly fight him off well. So Soniv's gonna get what's left of his energy and use it to turn invisible, so he can get Jin's Katana, Myzt agreed to fly around in this twats face to distract him, Somic, me and you are going to help Jin defeat him once Jin has his katana back with him. Somic'll wrap himself round the things body, and squeeze, and me and you will attack him,"
"You got it," said Lynx.

They arrived at the scene where Jin was. His opponent was another Echidna. A black one, with metal hands and long, sharp, metal, talons, five from each hand. His tail was bent like Knuckles's was. But his had sharp spines leading from the joint to his body all the way to the end of his tail, a lot like the tail of Blade Xiaoyu. He had hair like Knuckles too, and upon his feet were large, hiking boots, with sharp black spikes on the bottom of them, his eyes were a deep red, as if they were pure blood. Jin's clothes were torn and ripped, blood dripped from his arms and his chest. Jin leapt towards the black Echidna, kicking him one in the face, Jin did a need flip and punched the black Echidna in the nose. The black Echidna, was knocked into a tree, blood ran from his nose, he growled angrily at Jin. He stood, not showing any pain. He walked casually up to Jin, as if he was an old friend or awarding him a medal for bravery. He stopped in front of Jin, he raised his left and right arms, Jin looked to see the other Echidna's sharp claws extend about another three inches; he smacked Jin back in the face with his sharp claws. Jin was knocked to the floor. The black Echidna put one foot onto Jin's heart, the spikes at the bottom of his boot dug deep into Jin. He leaned closer to Jin's face with his.
"Not bad," he said. "But you're not worth my time,"
"That's because you just want to give up because you're getting tired, you can't go on," cried Jin.
"Oh, really. We'll soon see about that," said his opponent. He stepped off Jin, as blood began coming out of his chest once more. He took a few spaces away from him. He slowly crossed his arms in front of his own chest, his claws reduced to there original size, he closed his eyes, put his feet together his tail coiled around his legs. A bright light was forming within his metal hands. His mouth moved slightly. There was a bright blue flash followed closely by a white one. Jin squinted through the light, he could see his opponent, was morphing! His arms bulged up, along with his legs, his boots split to reveal sharp claws upon large feet. His metal hands expanded along with his claws. His tail turned the same as Blade Xiaoyu's, long with plenty of sharp spines down every side to the tips. He grew five times his original size, his head changed shape too, to a smoother shape, and his hair joined together and formed two pointed horns. The blinding light disappeared. And Jin was face to face a dragon exactly the same as Blade Xiaoyu, except this one was black where Blade was purple. He had large powerful-looking wings, they were black and red. He walked up to Jin and gazed down at him.
"Now, time to die!" he laughed, menacingly and evily.
"NO!" cried a voice from nowhere.
Jin looked in the direction the voice had come from. A blur of purple shot past him. He looked back to the dark Echidna. It was Blade! She was protecting Jin from the large Dragon, he was a few inches taller than Blade, but she stood her ground. Jin began to get up, when Soniv Xeroi and Shad_Lüv ran up and helped to lift him and carry him away. They took him away from the scene and to where Myzt, Lynx and Somic were.
"Thanks you guys, I don't know what I would've done without you here for me," panted Jin, breathlessly.
"Died," said Soniv.
"Guys, Blade's in a spot of trouble," called Myzt from some bushes just away from them.
"Myzt, Soniv, get Jin to our place and help him to feel better," said Lynx.
"Yeah, I better go to, they might need help finishing off the popcorn," said Shad_Lüv, starting to walk away.
"Not so fast you!" cried Lynx, pulling him back by his vest. "We are going to save Blade," she said.
"Why?" asked Somic.
"She's my sister!" cried Lynx.

Somic and Shad_Lüv stare at each other.
