This is it!

The ghost began to swing his weapon downward. 'Ready....NOW!'

Die!

"DOUBLE SLASH!' Serge shot forward,leaving a white trail through the ghost. When Serge almost reached the wall, he jumped on it from an angle. He then kicked off it, onto the cealing, kicked off of that into the ghost again, all in one second. When he landed, everyone stood still. Then the ghost dropped to his knees, then fell face down on the ground. However he remained there...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Heh..heh..heh

The knife flashed. Kidd closed her eyes, expecting her death, but....

AARRRGGHHHH!!

Kidd open her eyes. A dark beam shot through the ghost's left arm and leg. Kidd tranced it the source, someone in a purple cape. He then tossed something at Kidd. It was a pouch

"Use it!" It was a man by the tone but, as Kidd caught it, he disappeared...

I'll get even......

Her attention was drawn back to the ghost. It held it's knife in it's right hand. It seemed that her other arm was hanging down, in an out-of-service-way. Kidd opened the pouch, reached in and, yanked out...

..another knife? This one was different though. It seeamed to glow different colors, even in the red inferno. She looked at the ghost. It was limping towards her, slowly. Kidd held her knife forward. The ghost slashed forward, movement hampered by the wounds. Kidd jumped back, her reflexies taken over. As the ghost was still recovering from her slash. Kidd jumped forward and rammed her knife into the red ghost. The ghost slumped on Kidd, somehow remanding standing.

"Tell me, why did you attack me?" Kidd spoke after a few seconds

If I killed you, the man would reunite me with him...

---------------------------------------------------

"What do you mean reunite you with her?" Serge asked a similar question, 'Why did you continue to guard this place' and the ghost gave a simlar answer.

We are seperated by great bounds. Even in death, we cannot be together... The ghost punched the ground. If I guarded this place, he would remove the barrier between us. Even now, I still can feel her.....

"Barrier?"

We were united when I travel to her world....her dimesion...but we were seperated, never to met again. The power that seperated us erased my memories...but I still remembered somehow...When I died, the man I was passed on, but i swore to find her.....

--------------------------------------------------

Maybe you can help us. That necklace... let me see it...

Kidd hesitated for a moment, then took it off and gave it to her. A bright red light bursted out of the ghost, when light dimmed, the ghost was gone. Kidd picked up the necklace and put it around her neck once more. She sense the ghost around her as it shined red.

---------------------------------------------------

The ghost disappeared. It had asked to see his book. Serge complied and had similar results. When he pick up the book, it shinned blue and he heared a voice....

I'm in your hands now. May us both find what we looking for!
