Go looked up from his balcony. It was a sunny day, not too hot with no clouds threatening a downpour. He walked down the wooden stairs into a big hall and smiled. It was his dojo. The place he had been wanting to set up for quite a few years already. After the threat of the Disaster Queen was gone and everything had settled down, Go had decided to take his passion for martial arts and turn it into a living.
The dojo was also conveniently situated near Himeno's mansion so he could go there to check up on her whenever time allowed him to. After scanning the area briefly to make sure everything was in order for his first Aikido class in 3 hours time, Go turned back when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps approaching the dojo.
The door opened to reveal the rest of the Leafé Knights and the Prétear as well. Go smiled happily. It was nice of them to drop by. Suddenly he froze. All of them looked angry and they were just standing there. Something was wrong. Very wrong. He tried to lighten the mood.
"Hey, minna-san. Er April Fool was yesterday, what's up with the scary faces?" He asked casually. If this really was an April Fool's joke then it was a bad one, a really bad one. The 7 standing before him didn't budge.
"How about a fight, Go? To test your skill? You should be good, since you have a dojo and all." Hayate said coldly, moving forward, not bothering to remove his shoes.
'What is up with this guy?' Go asked himself. Why were they acting all weird suddenly? He didn't have time to think as Hayate dashed at him, readying his fist for a punch. Go shook himself out of his confusion and blocked it, just nearly. He felt the force of the punch in his palm. Hayate was serious about it. Not giving him a second, Hayate proceeded to kick Go. The tough fighter nimbly dodged it.
He was careful not to hit 'Hayate' even if it didn't seem like his friend at all. Executing his techiniques at precise moments, he was able to throw the Wind Knight off balance without injuring him at all. Suddenly, all the rest lunged for him and began attacking him one by one. Was this for real? What was going on? Why would all of them want to do such a thing?
He fought relentlessly but even a Leafé Knight had his limits. He was tiring and he knew he probably wouldn't be able to fight much longer.
Suddenly, Himeno stepped away from the fight and reached into her pocket. She removed a swiss army knife and smiled cynically.
"Hayate! Catch!" Himeno called as she threw the knife at the Wind Knight. He caught it, grinning. Holding it firmly, he went towards Go.
Go looked at him, readying himself, but he was just too tired. He noticed the clock. He had been fighting for the past 2 hours non stop.
Hayate lunged the blade forward but Go had anticipated it. Dodging swiftly, he grabbed Hayate's left wrist which held the knife and twisted it slightly, knocking the other Knight off balance. He was about to pin Hayate to the ground when suddenly, something that he hadn't anticipated happened.
Hayate reached into his pocket, drew another blade out with his free hand and stabbed Go.
The pain shot through his body as he fell limply to the ground. Hayate smirked and dropped both blades, his work was done. The rest turned around to leave, leaving Go to bleed to certain death. As the blood flowed out through the fresh wound in his stomach, Go looked at the two knives which had fallen near his hands. He could simply pick one up and throw it at any of their backs but he didn't.
They we're his friends. Whether they were possesed like he had just seen them, he knew they would never do this in their right minds. Calmly without regret, he succumbed to the darkness that engulfed him. Just before that though, he heard a voice. Everything came back to him that split second and he remembered everything.
"Ah, strong spirit you have, dear Knight of Fire. Even though you were so brutally hurt, you still did not wish to even harm one of them. Truely, you have much compassion for your friends. Admirable. But.. is it enough to get you through the final battle?" The voice cackled maniacally before the illusion he was in shattered and he was once more engulfed in darkness.

Please do review. Thanks!~ ^_^
I apologise for the fact that I left this fic stagnant for a really long time. Had lost inspiration. I know I said that this chapter would have Go and Kei but I wasn't expecting this part to be so long, therefore, the next chapter will be about Kei.
________
In the next chapter : Kei, the smart and level headed one in the group. Will he be able to survive the next illusion or will he crumble before he can save himself. What does the evil entity plan for the rest of the Knights and the Princess Prétear herself? Will she put them through similar illusions? Or will the tests be much more drastic than they already are?
