Dr. Aki finished clipping on the small, medal's DVD (Dream Viewer Device) attachment and placed it into Foxfire's back and closed the hatch.
"Okay, that should do it." He said, leaning back in his chair. "You're all set Foxfire."
Her optics flashed back on and she stood up straight. She took in a deep breath, her tail quivering in nervous shudders.
"Are you ready to do this?" Rokusho asked with a worried expression. Foxfire gave a slow nod, trying to throw on a confident look.
"You bet."
"All right, now the equipment will only work if you're a certain distance away. Otherwise we'll get nothing but static and those micro plates could short out." Dr. Aki explained." So why don't we get started out in the simulation room." He pointed to the white room where their control booth looked into.
"Right... right." Foxfire opened the door to the white room and sat down. I guess I just sleep then... She shrugged and lied down, closing her optics.
They didn't have to wait longer than two minutes because the FOX was out like a light. It could've been funny if it hadn't meant that she'd be meeting with her dark side soon enough.
"Are you sure she'll be all right?" Rokusho asked, keeping his optics peeled on the mini TV sets, which were still black. Dr. Aki nodded.
"There's no point in worrying Rokusho, we've taken all the necessary precautions we can. She'll be O.K."
Suddenly the TV sets blinked on, alarming them a little. Dr. Aki leaned in and watched avidly.
Foxfire winced her optics lids a little, noticing a bright light in front of her. She stretched out her limbs and sat up. Her optics flashed on and looked around sleepily.
Before she had fallen asleep, she would've expected to be back in the dark place. But it looked as if she was a white room. Foxfire furrowed her optics in confusion.
She spotted the one way mirror in the middle of the wall behind her that lead to the booth, and the white door with a gold-plated doorknob.
I'm back...? Already? Had she just plain missed the whole dream with her dark side? Or perhaps the Dark Foxfire had chosen to not show up.
Foxfire got to her feet and was about to head for the door when the mirror suddenly broke apart. Something had been thrown against it and that something landed against the opposite wall and fell to the floor in a heap.
"What the—!" Most of the mirror's glass had fallen to the floor, giving Foxfire a good view into the booth room.
The walls were covered in thick, dark red and brown liquids. It only took Foxfire a moment or so to realize what the liquids really were.
Blood, and oil.
She backed up against the side wall in horror with her optics wide in fright. A figure appeared behind the broken mirror's frame. Foxfire only had to take one glance to know who it was.
"Oh Aki, oh Aki, oh Aki!" Foxfire whimpered with her ears drooping slightly.
Her dark side leapt out of the booth room to the other side wall and narrowed her dark purple optics on Foxfire. Her hands and blades coated in the two dark liquids, still fresh and dripping easily to the floor.
Foxfire could barely stand to look at her. Instead she turned her gaze on the white object that had been thrown through the mirror.
Now that she looked at it, there were two purple things protruding from it, most of them broken off. And there was a purple spot on top of it and a black part near the bottom.
After a moment or so, Foxfire stared at the object in shock. The object was not just a white thing with odd things coming out of it. It was a head with broken purple horns. And the optics shut off. It hadn't clicked in until she saw the puddle of oil it was suddenly sitting in.
"Oh Aki." Foxfire whispered, barely able to let the fact process. It was Rokusho's head. The horns broken and his visor cracked. The dark Foxfire had decapitated Rokusho.
Foxfire turned her head to her dark form, still in deep shock. Her tail and optics twitched, not sure at all what to do. Rokusho was dead. No doubt her sister had already destroyed the medal. She was always that way.
"That felt wonderful." Her dark side said in a slight groan. "I really needed that out of my system, they were all so hopeful in trying to help you, thinking they could get rid of li'l ol' me so easily. The only easy thing was killing them."
Foxfire tried to shut off her audio receivers, not wanting to hear any of this, but found she couldn't. Like some wire had been removed so she would listen to every word.
"Just one slash for Aki, and just one slash for Karin. And then POP," She flipped her thumb up from under her forefinger like she might've been flipping a coin. "For Rokusho's he—"
"STOPPIT!" Foxfire resorted to covered up her fox ears and tightly closing her optics. "Just stop it!"
The dark side's optics raised quickly before drooping back. "What's wrong? Can't hear how I killed Rokusho? Oh please, he would've never liked you in the first place anyhow. If anything he was just leading you on!"
"NO!" Foxfire shook her head from side to side. How DARE she try to justify what she did! How DARE her dark side act like she did it for her!
"You might say I did it for your own good.... But I actually didn't. I did it because he ticked me off with his whole good guy routine. Acting like he had such a bad past and how everything's so bad for him."
"He is NOT! Stop it!" Foxfire cried, refusing to believe a word.
"Rokusho was nothing but a pity party waiting for some guests, wanting EVERYONE to feel sorry for him!"
----
Dr. Aki, Karin and Rokusho watched in shock at the display on the TV monitors. Foxfire's dark side was an exact copy of her to the fullest extent. But of course different from her in every way.
The KWG type himself glared lightly at the dark side. He couldn't mask his certain anger for what she said. And he certainly wouldn't try.
"And that Dr. Aki! Thinking he knows everything just because he invented Medabot! Well just because he did doesn't mean he can go on and on BRAGGING about it!"
Dr. Aki tightened his fists a little at the snide comments and gritted his teeth together.
"And last but certainly not mean! KARIN. She annoys me to more than my medal can comprehend! She just goes on and on and on being the sweetest angel around! I just want to throw something at her to make her retaliate!"
Karin bit her lower lip and looked down, not mad about the insults, just sad that someone would hate her that much.
The TV sets only took in what Foxfire would see through her own optics. So all three of them had gotten a view of the blood and oil in the booth, including Rokusho's dismembered head. He had flinched terribly at that sight.
It was like seeing how they would all die. Dr. Aki looked out into the white room and it really was only just Foxfire on the ground sleeping.
---
"And now for you. The one I had to tolerate, live with, and share with. The one who I hate, loathe and hope to see dead in a few minutes. And I will."
Foxfire looked up to see her dark side walking towards her. The FOX type backed up against the wall in fright.
---
"I think it's time to get her out of there." Dr. Aki said, turning to a small box with an electric frequency meter, the pointer currently set to zero and the dial set to off.
Dr. Aki turned the dial to the right to the on label. He then watched the pointer jump a little and continued to turn the dial to the right to increase the electrical frequencies.
Karin walked up to the one way mirror to watch for signs of Foxfire waking up. Rokusho kept his optics on the sets.
----
Tell me this is a dream. It has to be! If it weren't one she wouldn't be able to come out!
"Or maybe I would." Foxfire jumped at her sister's voice answering her thoughts. The dark Foxfire laughed.
"Just because I'm outside here doesn't mean I can't hear your incessant whining thoughts. Which I have to say I'm not very happy about."
That's when both Foxfires felt a sudden jolt. Foxfire jumped against while her Dark side twitched. The Dark side looked around, trying to see what had just happened. But Foxfire felt almost joyous.
The static charge! She felt the sides of her head and found that the two small discs were still attached to her head. Yes! They're calling me out! This has to be a dream! Oh thank Aki!
"What?! No! Not yet!" The dark side had spent too much time with her gloating and talking. She'd been too busy trying to effect Foxfire mentally to care about a time limit.
The dark Foxfire took out the blade to her arm and whipped it at the light Foxfire's neck. She could see the blade coming at her only a few feet away...
----
Foxfire woke with a start, gasping for breath holding her neck, choking on the air and coughing out.
