"Tala!" Lyssa called, risking another beating from Boris. "Tala, where are you?"
"He...went to get it." a weak voice said.
Lyssa looked down the hall and saw Kai limping toward her. His leg wound was bleeding anew and left a trail behind him. She went to him and caught him as he fell.
"What do you mean, Kai?" Lyssa asked, her face worried for both boys.
"Tala...he's going to get...Black Dranzer."
Lyssa's eyes widened, and she put Kai down on the floor. Then she ran to the halllway where, in fact, Tala had gone down only a few moments before. She'd been in the room with Black Dranzer once before. The will bore into her mind, and she'd been fearful of it ever since. But now was the time to put that fear aside.
Lyssa burst through the door and was immediately overcome by pain. She looked up and saw Tala, a crazed grin on his face, his eyes glazed over. At his feet spun Black Dranzer. The sound it made was like sinister laughing.
Without heed to the present situation, Lyssa buried her face in her hands.

Kai had followed her and now felt the pain of old wounds. Wounds caused by his run in with Black Dranzer. Then he saw Tala in the state he was in. Kai took out a refashioned Dranzer, an older version he had found under the mattress in the room. He launched it right at Black Dranzer, and, when contact was made, Tala's face contorted with pain, and he cried out.
Was Kai willing to destroy Black Dranzer at the cost of Tala's life?

The Cost of Life
When one dies,
Another is born.
When another is born,
One dies.
Thus is the cycle of life.
But at what cost?
What is the cost of life?
Friendship?
Betrayal?
One life equals another.
So the cost of life
Is life.

I apologize for it being so short. But after having writer's block for so long, it's hard to take up writing again. Please R&R for me. It truly does provide motivation.
MyOwnWoRLD: Here's your update. Thanks for the comment. I do write all these poems myself, though personally, I don't think they're really that great... :D rustyspoons: I really don't want to hurt Tala, but he's in a position for me to do so. Sorry! (I mean, he's kinda turned a bit sadistic towards Kai...)
