-(Desperate Freedom)-

"It's you... I can't believe it's you..." Rei gasped. "Yes Rei, it's me..." She said, bowing her head down in shame. "It's me..." "But we were friends, how could you?!" Rei demanded an answer. She was silent, but only to receive a terrible slash along her cheeks. " I want an answer!" Rei kicked her brutally. She fell on the floor. "Are you going to answer, or not?!"

There was another silence. "You better answer soon, or I'll kill you... Marie."

The Bladebreakers groaned in pain. They were all a bloody menace. "So... Are you alright guys?" Tyson asked. "Sure we are, we're all nearly dead and our wounds might get infected. Yeah, we're fine." Kai said sarcastically. " Okay... Well, we still need to find Rei, and that girl she was after."

The White Tigers suddenly appeared and stared at the Bladebreakers. Daichi was also there. "We got an answer!" Mariah screamed, as the White Tiger's elder recovered their wounds. "We know how the victim can live, and how Rei can be normal all over again! It's in genius!" " Great, how does it work?" Kenny asked.

Daichi found Rei at last. " Hey-ey-ey! REI!!!" He called. Then he saw probably the most beautiful girl in his life. 'So that's Marie, eh? Whoa, sexy. Even with her arm bent the wrong way...' Daichi opened his mouth so wide, he could fit Tyson's fist. " Hello? Any stupid idiotic life in there?" When Rei got no answer, he punched Daichi across the world. (A/N: Not really... Just an expression.) "Hey! What was that for?" " Shut up, little ass." Rei slapped Daichi until his face was bruised.

"Rei, don't kill him too! If you want me, come get me!" Marie called and started to run. " Think you can run away from me?" Rei smirked and teleported in front and her. "Say your prayers, Marie."

"REI NO!!!!" Lee yelled. But it was too late. Rei had begun to suck on Marie's blood. "Not if I can help it..." Lee started to chant a spell that would revive her. "What the?!" Rei couldn't move. " W-What's wrong with me?" He dropped the scarlet stone on her floor, camouflaging to Marie's life. Rei clenched his teeth in anger. "What are you doing to me?!"

Daichi ran to Marie. "Are you okay?" "Fine... Agh..." Marie grunted. " No you're not. Don't worry, Lee is gonna revive you. Just hold on." " I don't think I can..." But suddenly, Marie's wound started to disappear. " I can't believe it... Wow, that was awesome... Hey, what's wrong with Rei?"

There was a lighted golden circle around the paralyzed Rei, who shook violently. The strange black aura around him started to attack everywhere, trying to keep on Rei's soul. Rei was on all fours, struggling to be free. "Let me go!" "Rei, don't be scared to embrace freedom." Lee stated.

He started to scream in agony, kneeling and shaking his head. "No, no, no... LET ME GO!!!!!" "Lee, Rei's getting hurt!" Mariah cried. " If I'm right... The devil that lives inside Rei was feeding on his thirst for blood... And has gotten stronger." "And?" The Bladebreakers asked. "The devil may be to strong to kill... Rei might die aswell..." Everyone was hit dumbstruck. " WHAT?! YOU CAN'T LET REI DIE!!!!" "A sacrifice must be made, Tyson. If not, more innocent victims will die."

Everyone stood silent, except for Rei's yells of pain. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" He yelled. "The only way for Rei to be safely in care, if for me to die." Marie stated. "No, you can't die. We need information!" Daichi said. " Clearly, you do not understand. I started this curse thing, it's my fault I made Rei kill, and so it's my responsibility to end it!" Marie spat.

"No wait..." Mariah said. "The stone! Lee, didn't the elder also said that if the stone was pure, so would the victim!" "But Mariah... Lee don't know how to do that." Gary said. "But but but..."

"I know how to reverse it." Marie said. " Huh?!" Everyone caught her attention. "You have to let Rei go free." "We can't do that! He'll kill us all!" Lee said. "Hey, it's like you said, Lee: A sacrifice must be made. Besides, it won't take that long. Only about... An hour. IF you don't want Rei to kill, you need to create some sort of a diversion." Marie ordered. They all stared. "And if it doesn't work, Marie?" Kai asked seriously. "Then I'll let Rei kill me and that's that." She shrugged. " Besides, this WAS all my fault."

Lee let Rei go, and he was angry and on rampage. " Oh, now you're gonna die!!!" Rei started to swing his claws trying to hit all Kai, Tyson, Max, Mariah, Lee and Gary. The rest started to help Marie on the antidote. " Catch us if you can!" Challenged Tyson bravely. They all summoned their beasts and ran away, in different directions. Rei stood silently.

"You dare challenge my powers?" He muttered.

Rei got the stone back in his possession. He gave out a piercing war cry, and held all 6 bitbeasts in their tracks. He then dragged them where he was. The bladders and their bitbeasts were struck, petrified. " I can't move!" They all complained. " Oops, I forgot. What goes around comes around. And, since you," Rei pointed to Lee, white-faced and on his struggling black lion. He continued, "Will die first. See you in hell." Rei lunged forward, claws and fangs ready to kill...

"Done! Now, all I need to do, is spill this on the stone, and Rei will be free." Marie said. "That's good. Problem is, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THE STONE, MR. ONCE-WAS-KON-BUT-NOW-I'LL-KILL-YOU HAS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hilary shrieked. "Take a chill pill, girl." Said Dizzi. "You're going to deafen my circuits!" "Which is time for plan B." Kenny explained his plan B. Everyone nodded and took their place.

"Now, I hope you learned your lesson." Rei dropped the lifeless body onto the floor. Lee was dead. You couldn't tell since he looked he was flipped inside out, with some of his body parts elsewhere. Rei ripped his head off and holding him by the hair. "It was a pleasure tearing you apart. You're was probably the most fun yet." Then he turned to the other 5 victims. " Now let's see... Who would like the honour of getting destroyed by me?" The others were terrified, unable to say anything.

"How about you, pink? I don't like that colour, and you're full of it." Rei snickered. "Or you, tough guy? Think you can change and beat me up here, eh?" He said, looking at Kai. "Or maybe... It should be you, blondie. You're always too happy, and seeing you terrified makes you have a rare sight." Max gulped. "Last but not least... Dragon boy. You look scrumptious with fear. Wonder how you would taste like... The fat dude looks... Fleshy..." Rei suddenly laugh cruelly. "But, alas, I just wasted too much time on the pretty boy. Screw it, I'll just have to kill you all together. How's that, my friends? You'll be soon joining your dead friend, so think as I I'm doing you all a favour. Ready? I sure am. I'll see you, later."

Rei walked slowly to it's prey like a tiger... Ready to pounce and rip it's head off...

"Not so fast!" Kenny and Hilary said. Rei jerked his head toward them. Kevin, with is sneaky instinct stone the stone that hung loosely around his clothing, grabbed it. "Why you slut!" Rei started to run and try to kill Kevin, but it was too late. Marie dropped the stone in the clear white liquid; the antidote. Rei was throbbing in pain. Why doesn't it just go away?

Rei was lifted from the curse. The dark aura faded away...

The stone was finally pure white once more. But Rei... He collapsed on the floor, not moving. The petrified bladers were free, they and the others ran forward to Rei. "Rei, Rei, are you alright?" "Rei, you're not dead!" Kai held Rei and stared, as well as the other.

Rei's eyes fluttered open, and in a weak voice, " G-Guys...? I don't feel good..." He was normal. His eyes were golden again, and he wasn't pale from control. "Rei... You're going to be fine." Marie said. He gave out a weak smile, then sat up boldly and started to cough out blood.

He wiped his mouth and said, " This isn't my blood. W-What happened?" Everyone was shocked. "You mean you don't remember anything? Anything at all?" "No... All I remember is that... I was in a hospital and then everything went black. Usually I felt something splashed onto me... It was crimson and it wasn't from me..."

"Well, you're okay now. I'm going to take you to a hospital and hopefully, we'll explain everything after you're fine." Kai ordered. " B-But Kai... What's that?" Rei pointed to a battered body with missing parts. The White Tigers started to cry, and the Bladebreakers bowed their heads in respect. "That's Lee. You... You killed him, Rei." "WHAT?"
