CHAPTER TWO: AN OLD ALLY RETURNS...

"So, you have returned to the World. I'm surprised you just didn't stay out of it like a good little doggy..." He stared at me with his demon eyes. "But since you are already here, why don't you tell them your secret?" Raiser put on a cocky little smile on his face as he let those final cold words out.

"Shut up Raiser! NOW!" I screamed. Sphinx was staring at me like I was someone who she had never met before, and it made me feel like I wasn't even there...

"Dude, are you on crack or something? Do you even know who you're talking to?" Nestume said as she jumped in to defend me.

"Look..." I sighed violently. "There is something that I need to tell the both of you," I said in a troubled voice. Hell Rasier just let out another one of his gruesome smiles, and laughed.

"That's right! Tell them! Well...what are you waiting for? TELL THEM NOW!" Hell Raiser demanded, as he peirced his way towards us.

"What is he talking about, Zieg?" Nestume asked as Sphinx stared at Hell Raiser.

"What do you want? This is our friend, and I won't let you take him away, like you did to Kyo, you punk!" She charged towards Raiser, screaming with full force and yelling like there was no tomorrow. She decided to perform Rue Rom on him, and I could tell that she was pissed...off... As she was using all of her power, Hell Raiser just stood there,like someone was just poking him. He laughed maniacally, as he decided to fight back.

"You will die for this, you insolent worm!" Raiser jumped back, and froze mid-air. I was just standing there, like it wasn't my battle.

But really, it was my fight...more than anyone's...

He had taken my other life before, but he won't take my friend's lives. At least not when I'm around!

I secretly ran my finger over the handle of my blade, as I heard someone call out.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Sphinx had been hit pretty hard, and she was almost all out of healing potions. Nestume had heard her cry for help, when suddenly she jumped in on the battle like a crzy person on crack, as she knew her friend was in need of help.

"I won't let you take her like you took KYOOOOOOO!" I felt so helpless...just standing there like a little kid on a battle field.

But then...it happened...something that made me remember how much I had messed up.

"NNNOOOOOOO!" Both of them were almost dead, and the crazy twin bladers were moving fast.

SSSSHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGGGG...

I charged...blade drawn...blinded by my own fury...fighting like crazy...moving lightning fast, dodging, blocking, swinging, and just TRYING to hit them, and out of nowhere...they fell dead.

Both of the twin bladers were dead, but not from me...I turned my head, and saw three shadowy figures.

"You know Hell Raiser, you just don't learn, do you?" It was my old partner Dante, and a couple of old friends, Ouka-Chan and Black Rose. We all helped lift up Sphinx and Nestume-Chan, as we handed them each a health potion just in case somethig comes our way without our defenses up.

"Wwhooooo! They are messed up!" Ouka said with a sarcasmic tone in her voice.

"You aren't kidding dude, they are totally thrashed..." Dante looked around. "Hey! We've got one more! He's breathing pretty heavily...are you o-..."

Those eyes...I've seen those eyes before..." His smirk left his face after that last comment. Dante glanced at me like I was someone familiar to him. That was true...

The tension was soon broken a couple seconds after that moment, andthe awkward silence was over.

"You really think, that just because more of your little friends are here, that you can win? Heh..." He laughed. "Not a chance!" Finally, I had thought to myself that with the more of us, we could win.

" If you guys have any questions, ask me after we win, okay?" I said as I got ready to charge.

It was a hectic battle, and it raged on for hours. Hell Raiser was kicking our butts up and down the field.

"Man, I'm trying to fight him off the best I can!" I whispered to myself. We weren't strong enough, until finally it hit me...

"Hey guys...I think we should all attack at the same time..." I spoke my thoughts to everyone.

"Yeah! Maybe...just maybe we can win if we attack at the same time!" Dante agreed with me.

"Let's go!" I shouted as we all began to charge. Finally after hours of serious fighting, shouting, and lots of pai, wedefeated him. I just have the feeling inside my head...that sooner or later, I have to tell everyone who I am...but for now...

I'll just let them have fun.
