Weaver, thank you for your reviews.

But I'd really like whatever two cents everyone else has.

Oh, and on a side note: I do not know what Kite's personality is like, so forgive me if it is way off.

Chapter 6

Possessor of the Twilight Bracelet

The girl jumped down from the rooftop. She turned to Sorma's body, and then looked at Ikardis with furious eyes.

Ikardis' blades were still ready to kill. He looked at Muru with insanity still within him. "Didn't think she would ever show up again," Ikardis whispered to himself.

Muru raised the staff into the air. And then tapped the end of the white staff against the ground. There was a single "ping" like someone hit some gigantic xylophone.

A pillar of red light came down from the sky in front of Muru. Out from the pillar, stepped out a living suit of knight's armor. There was a metallic sound, which came with each step of the creature as it stepped out from the pillar and walked towards Ikardis. The silver suit with a red, flowing cape behind it held a sword with a blade far too heavy for any normal player to wield. Yes, it was around thirteen feet tall; yes, this was not a player.

Ikardis' face went frightened for a moment. "What! What is a monster doing here!" he yelled. This town had a monster block on it, so this would have been surprising to any player. "Just means I'll have to kill it then," he whispered. Using the speed only a Twin Blade could have, it got behind the knight. It jumped up onto the knight's shoulders, swinging both blades at the knight's shoulders and head.

The knight made no effort to stop Ikardis, for the blades simply sparked off its armor, dealing no damage; it just simply continued to take its steps forward.

Ikardis jumped off of the knight, taking several steps away from it. Fear had completely taken over.

The knight slowly continued on its pace towards Ikardis.

He turned to run, and then tripped. Landing on his face, Ikardis quickly sat up to see the knight. "I can't harm it! Leave me alone! I don't want to die! Call it off, Girl, call if off!" He held out his hands as the knight raised the massive sword above Ikardis rather clumsily.

Muru's face was still angry, her staff held tightly by her side. "After you hurt Sorma? Ha, do you really think that will happen?"

The knight swung the sword down, which would have instantly killed Ikardis, but the blade hit the ground.

Ikardis had gated out.

He appeared in the field again where he had first met Morgonna. He was still on the ground, hands held out in defense. Once the fear disappeared, surprise replaced it.

"I gated you out, and took you here," spoke Morgonna. "You aren't yet able to kill something unbeatable."

Ikardis quickly jumped to his feet. He brushed himself off, trying to regain his dignity. "Yet?" he asked rather squeakily. "What are you talking about? I am done with you, Stalker Chick. I beat Sorma. And now I can be on my merry way."

"You are not finished with me or Sorma."

"And why is that?" Ikardis' eyebrow rose.

"You did not stab Sorma with the Blade of Infection. You did not keep up with your part of the bargain."

"Psh! As if that matters. I beat Sorma! That is all I care for. You being picky about which blade I use is not important." He smiled impishly. "I do like the weapons, though, so I'll keep those. Buh-bye." There was an error sound that rang trough the field. Surprise came over Ikardis' expression again.

"I have turned off the gate out feature," said Morgonna.

"What…are…you?"

"You will continue to obey me, my Knight. Until you kill Sorma with the Blade of Infection, you won't be able to gate out."

"You think you are so smart, but I'll simply just take off my headset." He stuck his tongue out. There was a pause, Ikardis stricken by more shock than any of the other previous times. "I can't…feel myself. Why can't I move in the real world! Morgonna, tell me now!"

"This is the curse you must live with. This quarrel with Sorma is no longer about honor, my Knight, it is about your life." Laughter followed her words.

Tears, actual tears came down from Ikardis' eyes. His face went to the ground. Ikardis had been defeated.

Morgonna's laughter soon quieted. "I have a small task for you to do. A Legendary player approaches. I assume I don't have to explain what must be done," Morgonna said this with annoyance in her voice.

A Twin Blade with mainly orange clothing equipped exited the forest with his twin knives unsheathed. He glared at Ikardis. "Is this who I'm supposed to fight?" His eyes now went to the sky. "Morgonna, you could have done better."

Ikardis swung his magic blade in the general direction of Kite, knowing full well that Kite was not in distance. Instead of hitting Kite, a small wave of ice ran across the ground at him.

Kite rolled out of the way. With amazing speed, Kite was beside Ikardis. He swung a knife.

Ikardis swung the left blade.

Kite's blade entered Ikardis' shoulder while Ikardis' blade entered Kite's side.

Ikardis felt pain, pain that he could feel, because he was now part of The World. But, this pain was slight due to an adrenaline rush.

Kite jumped away. "Another critical hit, and I'm done for," Kite whispered. He smirked at his own ignorance. "I knew I should have just listened to Aura." Kite pointed his right hand at Ikardis. The bracelet there began to glow. From the bracelet, much like a flower, petals of light surrounded the bracelet and bloomed to a full flower. "Time to listen. Maximum Data Drain!" The petals glowed brighter, and a beam of pure light shot towards Ikardis.

The beam came at Ikardis. It hit him dead on.

Once Kite felt that it was time to stop, he did. The beam stopped. The petals did not go away, but their light did dim down. Kite gasped.

Where Ikardis had been was a sphere of light; it was a sphere of the Data Drain beam. From the top of the sphere broke out a blade glowing purple. The sphere of energy flickered before returning to its beam form, and shot at the blade and disappeared. Once the entire sphere was gone, Ikardis stood there. Ikardis had his head to the ground again, tears falling to the ground.

Kite stuffed his surprise down deep, and then took this moment to attack. He appeared behind Ikardis, attempting to stab Ikardis' neck with both knife blades. It connected.

The blades entered Ikardis' neck. Ikardis stood there as if it did not happen. He spoke softly to himself: "For. Me. To. Live. You. Must. Die."

Kite choked as the purple blade from before went into his head. Kite stumbled back, and soon fell to the ground. The bracelet's petals disappeared. Like the jellyfish before, Kite's veins began to glow purple, but soon faded into black. Kite's skin soon became black, his clothing dark purple. Dark Kite slowly stumbled to its feet. It then faded away.

Left where Kite had been was the bracelet. It disintegrated into data. The data traveled to Ikardis' right wrist, reforming into the bracelet there.

The Blade of Infection pulsed, and a vibration went down Ikardis' right arm to the bracelet.

The bracelet's gold coating was replaced with a black one.

Ikardis stared at his new bracelet; the Twilight Bracelet was to now be known as the Eclipse Bracelet.

Morgonna laughed aloud; it was an evil laughter…
