Chapter 8: Yin and Yang
Location: Spirit World
"YOU HAVE GOTTEN IN MY WAY FOR THE LAST TIME…GOOD BYE! SOLAR EXPOSION!" The sun in his hand erupted and launched for the 2. Aileta and Ollrack stared as the blast came for them, ready to destroy them once and for all. They closed their eyes and waited for the inevitable. The ball exploded and nearly blew all the air out of the temple. "HAHAHAHAHAHA, NO ONE CAN STOP ME NOW! THE VOID IS MINE." Dark Ra yelled in triumph. He looked down to see the remains of what was left of his old rivals. As the fires died down and the smoke cleared, an Electrifying in black armor stood there, holding a "shadow shield" over him, Ollrack, and Aileta. "WHAT?!" The shield dropped, and Aileta and Ollrack looked up.
"Who are you?" Ollrack asked.
"Master Erick, Soul Guardian of Darkness."
"WHAT, ANOTHER SOUL GUARDIAN?!" Dark Ra yelled.
"Make that 2!" A female voice sounded. From the ceiling dropped a girl Electrifying in white armor. She brought her staff down on Dark Ra, and knocked him to the ground, totally off guard. "Remember that as your formal greeting from Master Tiffany, Soul Guardian of Light!" Ollrack at that moment wasn't sure what happened then. Tiffany seemed to glow with an aura that filled his heart with strange pleasure. She was beautiful as she glimmered in the light of the temple.
"YOU LITTLE PESTS!" Dark Ra scolded as he got to his feet, snapping Ollrack back to his senses. "THERE MAY BE MORE OF YOU, BUT I'M STILL MORE THAN A MATCH FOR ALL OF YOU! I'LL PICK YOU OFF ONE BY ONE. MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT ELECTRIFYING ISN'T HERE, SO HE CAN WATCH AS I GET RID OF HIS LONG SOUGHT AFTER DEFENDERS."
"I can fulfill half that wish." A voice said. Dark Ra looked up to see Electrifying in the doorway.
"AH, WELCOME BACK MASTER ELECTRIFYING. BUT WHAT FOOLISH IDEA DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT WOULD BRING YOU TO YOUR OWN DEMISE? ITS QUITE OBVIOUS I'VE BECOME STRONGER THAN YOU."
"You're right. I can't beat you." Dark Ra gave a confused look. "In this body you are too much of a match for me."
"GRR, ENOUGH OF YOUR RIDDLES, I DEMAND THAT WE FINISH WHAT WE STARTED."
"It is already done. I surrender; you are too much for me now."
"THEN…THEN YOU HAVE COME AT A LOSS OF HOPE?"
"No, ever since the CLYOTO incident all you wanted was a body that could overcome me. And you have achieved that. But I know you don't want to live trapped in a body that is not yours, you want your true form. So here…take it." Electrifying's staff gleamed brightly on Dark Ra. He slowly transformed. His mussels thinned but strengthened. His massive sword shrunk but flooded with power. His skin changed from red and gold, to black, coated in black and red armor. Massive demonic wings shot out of his back. But his smile remained, his famous smile that would be recognized by everyone. But strangely, his most recognizable change was his eyes. The light dimmed and Lord Sicron brought his hands in front of face. His eye to eye smile showed as he laughed in triumph.
"AT LAST, I AM WHOLE AGAIN! YOU FOOL, HOW COULD YOU HAVE GIVEN ME WHAT I MOST WANTED?"
"Because I have beaten you in this body before. This is a fight I can win." Sicron stood dumbfounded. Something caught Aileta's eye, Sicrons eye. It was strange, it called to her, and she couldn't stop looking at the bizarre mix of red and black and yellow. Soon the eye was the only thing there, everything else went dark. But soon she could feel the heat of flames surrounding her, but there was more. Snakes slithered up her ankles, and up her legs. The screech of a Metroid sounded behind her. The hot burn of chains could be felt on her wrists, as the snakes covered them. The growl of the Metroid Prime was behind her, but the eye grew larger. She was being sucked in. The slit that was the pupil was like a hole, and she was about to fall down it. Aileta heard screams, her screams, but her mouth by now was bonded by the serpents. It was her past self, as she was in agonizing pain as Sicron approached her and…
"Aileta!" Aileta was awoken by Ollrack's voice. Everything was back to normal, Electrifying and Sicron were staring each other down.
"What happened?" Aileta asked.
"Don't look at Sicrons eyes." Ollrack warned. "They're windows into his soul. Those eyes have driven thousands of mortals beyond insanity, for it sends them into the darkest depths of their nightmares. I'm sorry you had to see whatever you saw."
"I DO NOT WANT ONE OF US ALIVE BY THE END OF THIS FIGHT. AND I WANT YOU TO GO FULL OUT ON ME, FOR IF I WIN I DON'T WANT TO KNOW YOU WENT DOWN WHEN YOU STILL COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING." Sicron said.
"If you win and I perish, balance will be thrown off. The Void will collapse and you will have nothing to rule." Electrifying said.
"WHO SAID I WANTED TO RULE ANYTHING? ALL I WANT NOW IS YOU NOTHING MORE IS YOU OFF MY HIT LIST."
"Then let's stop stalling and begin." The two sorcerers rushed at each other, and their swords clashed. But it was only the beginning.
