Chapter 10: The Scythe

As Kirby held his two dearest friends in front of him, Lan, Maylu, and Chaud were all preparing to enter Full-Synchro.

"What do you plan on doing?" asked Alex.

"We're gonna hit Kirby with 3 Giga Cannons," said Chaud.

"That should give Shade and Blademan time to escape," said Mae.

"What about Kirby?" asked Alex worriedly.

"I don't know," said Mae, "Tim?"

"…No ideas."

"Wait!" said Alex suddenly, "Mae, have Shade impale her scythe through Kirby's symbol, don't ask questions, just do it."

Kirby used his mental power to keep Blademan and Shade in the air; meanwhile, at the end of each hand, beams were charging.

"MEGAMAN! GO! GIGACANNON!" yelled Lan.

Three Giga Cannons hit Kirby in the back; he staggered, and fell a few feet. Free of his mental grip, Blademan and Shade landed on the ground. Shade jumped up immediately as she landed, and, scythe ready, impaled it through Kirby's symbol. Kirby returned to normal, and Shade's scythe glowed strangely.

"He's back to normal, thank God," said Alex, relieved.

2 hours later…

Kirby awoke in a bed; he looked around and noticed it was his homepage. "Ugh, what happened?" He looked in front of him and saw his friends all standing with their backs turned, talking with their operators. "Uh, guys?"

The navis spun around, and looks of intense relief filled their faces.

"Kirby! Thank God you're alive!" yelled Blademan.

"Phew, thought for a minute you were gonna die!" said Shade happily.

Kirby smiled, his friends don't seemed to have changed after, whatever just happened. "Alex?"

"Yes Kirby?" replied Alex.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Oh boy," said Alex wearily, "Well, you see…takes a breath A navi named EvilMan appeared and opened you core programming and unleashed your evil soul."

"DarkSoul?"

"No, Kirby, evil soul," said Alex, "It's worse than a DarkSoul, but the strange thing is, a strange equation has formed."

Mae looked at Alex, "Equation?"

Tim looked at Alex as well, "What?"

"Yep. Light over darkness, darkness over evil, evil over light; it's a strange equation, and can be explained. The light pierces darkness, and darkness covers evil, but evil can destroy the light. All navis have a programming core, deep within it is their evil soul, but the evil soul only exists in navis that have darksouls. This means that every navi has an evil soul, except one, just one unique navi; and her net-op is standing right beside me."

Everyone looked at Mae.

"Who, me?" asked Mae.

"Yes, Shade's scythe has a useful benefit. Having it's own evil soul, it absorbs all evil and becomes stronger. However, because Shade once had a DarkSoul, the DarkSoul sought to conquer evil. It forced itself into the scythe, and thus, sealed away the darkness. But the scythe can absorb evil from navis, but cannot absorb and evil soul once it has been awakened. Shade holds an amazing weapon."

Everyone looked at the doorway. A teen boy of about 14 was standing there.

Well, let's see what else I can do… don't know! R&R!
