Chapter VII: Pain

Under the city…

"He, he, he, he… Look out Hannah, because I'm back! Bah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

… … … … …

"… This day again… why…" Hannah started to cry while speaking to herself. It had been exactly 6 years since her parent's death; it was her birthday. "Why me?" She asked nobody.

"Hannah…?" Dan walked next to her.

"What?" She asked, her voice shaky.

"What's wrong?"

"N, nothing…" She said, trying to hold back tears.

"Don't say that, I saw you crying. Tell me."

"Nothing!" She yelled. Dan walked out of the room.

… … … … …

"Dark Combustion!" The many people in the subway were burned in black fire and dropped down dead. "GRAH! She isn't here either… where is she?"

"Looking for Hannah, Darkside? You'll never get to her!"

"Daniel… Heh, heh, heh… Come to die I see. Well then, let the pain begin! Dark Sword!" A black sword appears in Darkside's hand. "Sonic Boom!" Darkside cuts the air and sends a sonic wave at Dan. "Where's your sister, dragon? Too scared?"

"Shut-up! I came alone."

"Why, to prove yourself worthy?"

"No, to keep them safe! You're my enemy, and my responsibility!"

"Oh how wrong you are, dear child! Clones appear!" Hundreds of Teenage Sirus clones crawl out of the ground.

"Perfect clones… this was a trap!" Darkside grins.

"Kill him." The clones blasted Dan with all they had, beating him mercilessly to the ground. Dan was very torn up and out of breath. "Oh, you aren't dead yet? Allow me to ease your pain!"

"NO! It's me you want isn't it?" Hannah jumps from a train. "You've been looking for me haven't you, using him to get to me… it's always been about me! I see your true plan Darkside."

"Finally! You humans are so mindless! It took you six years to figure that out? Ha!" Darkside grows horns and a tail and gets sharp claws. He sprouts black dragon wings and floats in the air, his hair and armor fading. The ten foot high beast had an eye in its chest and in the palms of his hands and a forked tongue with a dragon's face. "Ready, dear child? Ready to face your destiny, the prophecy which lies within your legend?" He had split voices, a his human voice and a deep, dark, menacing voice. "Come and die before me, as it was meant to be!" Two saber tooth tiger teeth appear from his mouth. The two duel fiercely, and neither showed any signs of giving up. "You fight well girl… but you cannot possibly win!"

"Watch me!"

"Dark Combustion!"

"Aahhh!" Hannah screamed. Just then, her necklace began to glow. "Huh?"

"NO! It cannot be… she's unlocking the power… within her!"

"RRRRRRRAAAAHHHHHHH!" The ground started to shake as she yelled. She was glowing a bright white. She blasted Darkside with a fireball from her hand before kicking him in his chest eye with electricity surrounding her foot. A large ball of ice then collided with Darkside's head. "I'm brining you down! Dan… don't forget me!"

"Huh…? Hannah, NO!" Dan struggled to get up. "We'll stop him together! Don't do this!"

"Dan, leave now, this blast will kill us all… escape while you can!" Dan didn't want to, but ran off. "Any last words Darkside?"

"I may die, but at least I won't be alone in the Underworld, for you're coming with me!" There was a flash of bright white light and the entire area was incinerated.

"Hannah…" A tear fromed in Dan's eye.

… … … … …

1 week later…

There was a funeral for Hannah a week later. A shadowy figure watched it all from the trees. "It worked… they think I'm gone… which means the Quartet thinks that as well… maybe its better this way… I'm sorry, Dan."

END CHAPTER

Well, Hannah's not dead (Yay!), for she will still be a BIG part of this story. There will be a reunion between Hannah and Dan in a later chapter however, and a climactic battle between Sirus is in the horizon. This story is far from over, and so is this saga. So, check soon for an update.
