Note: be aware of BIG, HUGE, awful cliché. I know, I know, but it looked good and… oh, come on.

MasterFranny: well, I know I left you all in a bad way last chapter, you can call it a cliff hanger… well, here it is, the new chapter. Hope you'll like it, I think the next will be the last one.

Kai: thanks Kami for that.

MF: well you're meanie. sobs But don't worry, there will always be the sequel. Ah, about the sequel, what about some ideas? You can mail me. I have the basic line for it, the idea is clear in my mind, but some side things you want me to put into it... come on, shoot!

Annnnd, I had problems writing down Spencer's changes, come on, it's not funny trying to put grace in a whale. I liked to change Ian however, I like snakes.

……………………………………………

Thanks to all of you for the wonderful reviews. I want you to understand how much each one was important for me. Thanks for sticking up with me through all of this.

Breath of Light

Chapter 16: Where is what is left?

Rage is burning into me

like a never dying flame

inferno of fire,

hell of anger

is eating me up;

I can't control it,

I can't control myself,

I know I'll hurt whose I care for,

but I can't stop.

I see the pain,

I see the hurt,

I see them all and still,

as the hatred fills my heart

there's nothing that can keep me sane

there's nothing that can stop my rage.

Six years before, Balkov Abbey, Russia

Tala lay wide awake in his bed, tossing in the sheets not able to sleep. He couldn't because of his worry for Kai.

After that episode with Black Dranzer Tala was getting more and more worried, it was clear to him that Kai was becoming obsessed with the Dark Bey, and it was also clear to him Boris was trying to have Kai separated from the rest of them.

He made him train alone, so his friends couldn't watch him –and protect him– all the day, and he was sure Kai was spending his training time with Black Dranzer. Boris wanted Kai to use that Bey and it was obvious Kai was falling under the dark aura; the power emanated from that Bey was strong and fierce, and it was deeply alluring.

Tala wanted to make sure the slate haired blader was okay but at the same he was afraid Boris would do something soon, and he was afraid he could do nothing to protect his love. He had the feeling he was going to be useless, but he could not accept anything Boris would want to do with his Kai.

At the end after three hours gone by thinking about his slate haired love he stood up from his bed, and since he couldn't sleep he would go and check on Kai, just to make sure he was okay.

To see him sleep peacefully, to calm down seeing he was okay. Because that was all that mattered to Tala.

But as he stepped near Kai's room he saw something that made him freeze. The door was slightly opened; Kai never let it open during the night, because he felt he was securer this way –even if it was a mere sensation and not a fact.

Something was wrong.

Something was wrong.

He reached the door and opened it, peering inside almost fearfully, and he had every right to, because there was no one in there. The room was empty and Kai was nowhere in sight; the worst was, the bed was all messed up, the sheets laying on the floor, and… there was a stain of blood on them.

He could smell the scent of blood, even if faint, and that scared him the most.

Despair filled Tala in a moment and he stood there, frozen in shock, his mind unable to comprehend what was happening. Kai was not in there, that meant Boris picked him up… to take him where!

"(KIYA!)"

He was trembling madly as he ran in Kiya's room, slamming the door open; the older boy was already awake, and looked at him with eyes filled with worry. Tala was sobbing as he tried to tell Kiya that Kai was not in his room anymore, but he couldn't speak and he just cried loudly, sobbing as he clutched Kiya's shirt, hiding his face in it. Kiya understood what had happened by his distressed acting, and felt a twinge of pain in his chest.

In a flash he was standing and without saying a word he pulled Tala outside the room with him.

Bryan, Spencer and Ian looked from their own rooms, faces sleepy, and seeing Kiya and Tala pass in a hurry they instinctively knew something was wrong, and exited, wiping away the sleep from their eyes.

"(Boris took Kai away!)" Tala sobbed, tears streaming down his cheeks again, not able to stop because of the worry and the dread.

Kiya was pale and worried as well, and it was clear on his face; he felt like it was all his fault if Kai had been taken away, he had to know Boris would act when they were asleep, when no one suspected… but what did the wicked man wanted to do with Kai?

In the few seconds that the rest of the team gathered around him, Kiya thought about the dark beast Tala saw, that was slowly taking Kai away from them. Another phoenix. Another sacred beast for Kai.

Why another Beast, why was it black? Why was it evil, why…?

The answer hit him like a bolt and he felt despair creep up in his heart. So simple. It was so simple and yet, it took him so long to realize it.

Boris wanted to try again with the Serum, he wanted to use that new Beast on Kai like he used Dranzer once, he wanted to create a bond strong as much as the first one, to have a weapon twice as strong. To have something new once again, and for the second time, he was using Kai as his first experiment.

That's why he searched for another Phoenix. The black one was not Dranzer's clone, it was her counterpart, and Boris wanted to bound it in Kai…

"(No…)" he whispered. "(The research lab!)"

He darted away, leaving behind the others, who shook out of their shock to follow the older one down the corridors, towards the research lab, each one wishing not to be too late.

……………………………………………

'Kiya? T… Tala?'

Kai tried to focus his blurred vision on the person next to him, blinking, and after few tries his sight cleared and he could see, but the person near him was not the one he wanted to see near him.

It was Boris; but what was worst was that Voltaire was there as well, and both were looking down at him with vicious smirks and eyes glinting evilly.

Fear built up in his heart as he felt dread and worry dawn on him. What was happening? What did they want from him?

He felt Dranzer in her Bey cry out for him but… there was another voice speaking. Curious about that voice, he focused on it, feeling Dranzer's fade away in the undertone. That new voice… he knew it, but in that moment he couldn't remember. All he knew was that it was comforting and it was stronger than Dranzer's.

Deeper, like silk.

He felt hands picking him up but he couldn't move, the voice was relaxing him and it lulled him in a state of trance so he did not spoke, his eyes unfocused again, the voice telling him it was all okay, that nothing was going to happen to him.

He relaxed and minutes afterwards he was settled on a cold table and he felt faintly his hands being tied above his head.

The voice was still speaking to him but now he was half aware something was deeply wrong. He was not supposed to be on a table… he was not supposed to be tied up and Boris and Voltaire were not supposed to be there…

He tried to focus against the voice and he was able to hear Dranzer yell and screech at him trying to overpower the other; he felt a strong need to feel Dranzer with him instead of the other presence, because he knew it was a dark one. He pushed himself towards the mental call of his Red Phoenix, making contact with her.

It wasn't easy, the other lulling voice was hard to stop, hard to ignore, but at the end he managed to push it away and he was suddenly aware he was at the research lab.

His eyes widened in fear as he saw Boris step above him, a strange violet liquid filled syringe in one hand, and an object in his other one.

"(What are you doing to me!)" Kai tried vainly to pull free while his Phoenix cried in despair. "(What's happening!)"

"(You have nothing to worry about, Kai,)" was Voltaire's reply, but his tone was all but nice. "(We're just making sure you and your new friend will get along well…)"

Kai was confused but then he saw Boris was showing him the object in his right hand, it was the Bit Chip of Black Dranzer, and he suddenly realized it was hers the voice he heard.

He knew too well that Beast was evil, he could easily feel her dark power, but he could not resist it, she was too strong and each time they met she could lull him in a state of trance, trying to lure him into her darkness.

And in a flash he realized what Voltaire and Boris were going to do –they wanted to fuse him with Black Dranzer like they did with Dranzer.

He felt a wave of intense fear wash over him once more as he trashed against his restraints, yelling as loudly as he could –he did not want to be connected to her…

No! Not with that mind!

To have that power inside him, to hear her dark voice forever, to fight against her sick evil, was something too much for him. Tears start falling from his eyes in despair as he thrashed against the handcuffs, unable to free himself.

"(Tala!)" he begged. "(Kiya! Help!)"

"(They are not going to come,)" Boris laughed cruelly. "(You're all alone Kai!)"

He watched in horror as Boris stepped towards the well known machine, placing the dark chip under what would seem like a magnifying–glass, if it wasn't for the wires needles coming out from the end of it.

He remembered too well that machine, he remembered too well the lens, the needles that could connect a person with the Spirit inside the bit chip.

Boris and Voltaire worked on that machine for years, trying to develop a machinery that could merge the two beings, human and Beast, into one. At the end they managed to get it, and he had been the first victim, the very first person ever to be connected with a BitBeast.

And now they were going to use him again, to fuse him with another creature.

"(No! Please, don't!)" he cried but neither his grandfather or Boris paid attention to the desperate boy. Boris lifted two needles connected with the machine and the magnifying–glass and he pulled them sharply inside Kai's left arm, reserving the same treatment to his other arm.

Each needle caused a sharp intake of breath for Kai, who hissed in pain, but he knew the pain would double if they started the fusion.

As Voltaire assisted to the preparations Boris pulled out a syringe filled with a tranquilizer and he injected it into Kai's veins, making the boy go completely numb. Kai could still feel the pain of the liquid coming out of the needles but he couldn't move his body, as Boris inserted another needle deep in his throat.

It was harder to breath now, the air came out in ragged gasps, but Kai could only stare in fear as Boris pulled inside his veins the last three needles.

His heart was beating quickly now, and it was appearing on the monitor of the machine with soft beeps, and Voltaire smirked in satisfaction.

"(No…)" he gasped softly.

Boris turned to Voltaire and the old man looked down at the panel, placing his hand on the bigger button, hesitating a moment before squeezing it with a sharp move, watching in rapture.

The whole machine started to beep loudly as the pedestal on which Black Dranzer's bit chip was on glowed, sending a dark light up to the magnifying–glass, which trembled as if under electrical tension. Kai could feel a cold sensation enter his body by the needles as he recognized the dark mind as it brushed against his own. There wasn't still a connection, because the activating serum wasn't still in his system, but he could already feel the Black Phoenix lean over him.

Boris pulled out the syringe with the serum and stepped near Kai, ready to complete the experiment, but then, "(NOO!)" he stopped while Tala, Kiya, Bryan, Spencer and Ian ran inside the room, their eyes wide as they saw what was going to happen to Kai.

The slate haired balder stood there hopelessly, tears running down his cheeks, his sobs shaking his whole frame in relief since his friends were there for him.

"(Tala…)" he sobbed. "(Ki… ya…)"

Kiya's face was filled with rage and hatred as he stepped towards Boris and Voltaire, he was sure he would kill them this time, they were not going to have Kai go through the whole thing again. The mere sight of his brother laying there in pain was enough to send him over the line.

"(Don't)" he hissed to the Abbey's director, but he merely smirked in satisfaction.

"(Or?)" he asked.

"(I'll kill you!)" Kiya growled, his eyes already filling with auburn.

So he started to change, slowly at first, then faster and faster, his whole body surrounded by an auburn aura as he called the power of the Beast from deep inside him.

His teeth grew sharper and longer as they sprouted from his open lips, contorted in a furious grimace, his eyes flickered with auburn before the colour whirled taking complete control of them, his pupils turning into slits –looking much like lizard's eyes.

Something similar to a horn sprouted from his forehead, and his nails turned into dangerous–looking claws, as his changes made him look less and less human and more and more like the Basilisk that was inside him.

The last thing to appear were his awful huge wings, they sprouted from his back as if some kind of creature was coming out of him, opening wildly behind him, large and dark wings similar to a bat ones, the colour of the mud.

First came the bones, cracking outside of his back with sickly noises. Then the fur covered them, as a thick membrane appeared and stuck together the bones, creating some sort of wings. That was the part that hurt more, because every time it wasn't already existing bones changing, it was the creation of new bones from his body.

Before Boris and Voltaire stood a creature not anymore completely human, but at the same still human, fused with the Beast he had the control on. That was the purpose of the serum Boris used on them all, it served to fuse them with the Sacred Creatures, in order to create an army of warriors stronger than humans with the massive powers of the Beasts, to dominate the world, to kill and hurt anyone who would want to stop them.

He appeared terrible, but at the same he was beautiful and dangerous.

Kiya looked with pure hatred at Boris making the man shudder, but he shook the fear away and snapped his fingers.

Three scientists came from the other door, each one bringing a strange gun filled with an equally strange liquid the colour of dried blood.

"(You won't stop me, Basilisk,)" Voltaire laughed cruelly as he stared at Kiya straight in the eyes. "(I knew you would bring problems when you asked to be experimented with the serum, I knew from that day I would have to get you disposed of…)" he pointed to the scientists proudly. "(It's almost impossible to kill any of you normally, you're too strong, but there's something that can effectively kill you)".

"(You're too dangerous for our project,)" Boris smirked in satisfaction as he looked at Kiya, who was still glaring at them, "(you're not worthy live anymore, so we decided to have you outside the picture –forever)".

There was no time to react. Boris injected the liquid into Kai's veins in a flash, pulling out the needle and crushing it in his fist with a ferocious smirk.

Kai cried out in pain as he felt the fire eat him up from inside, a pain so intense nothing could be compared to it, not even the worst torture, not even what happened years before with Dranzer as they had been fused together.

This hurt more than anything could ever hurt, it was like the darkness was inside him, eating his soul, invading him with the help of the serum.

His eyes turned black as they widened madly, his hands gripping on the table so hard the knuckles were turning while, all his body in tension as his back arched.

His heartbeat was the only thing he could hear while the pain washed over him, growing faster and faster, he could not hear the cries of shock of his friends, he could not hear Kiya cry out his name, he could not hear Dranzer, but he could hear the other one, the dark nemesis, Black Dranzer, as she became part of him forever.

The restraints burned from the fire he was emanating, freeing him; he jumped up in a sitting position, hugging desperately his chest as if it was burning, and his nails became sharp as claws, his eyes still black.

Last to appear were his newly formed wings. Like what happened with Kiya's own, Kai's wings started sprouting from the bones, long hollow bones cracking out from his back as he cried out even louder.

Then came the muscles, the feathers, growing from the bone, covering the wings, the colour of the darkest black.

Kiya and the other Demolition Boys stood there helplessly staring at their friend change, but this time it was not Dranzer, this time it was something evil, something cruel.

They all could feel the strong and fierce aura coming from his body, it was cold and evil, and sent a shudder down each of their backs.

Kai panted hard, in desperate attempt to control the massive power he felt inside, the dark mind that tried to push his own mind away, and he felt Dranzer coming in as well, helping him fight the dark being inside him.

Under the shocked eyes of Boris, Voltaire and the Demolition Boys the dark wings tinged with red and Kai's eyes mixed with both gold and black, sign he was half Dranzer and half Black Dranzer.

Kai's unsteady breath was the only sound that could be heard in the room, as he trembled in both fear and anger, tears still streaking down his cheeks. He could feel the two fires fight inside his body, one evil, one good, and he knew he could lose control each moment.

Kiya felt rage wash over him. He couldn't prevent Kai from going through it all, but Boris and Voltaire would pay.

"(AAAAAAARRRGHH!)" with a ear-piercing cry he lunged forwards aiming at Voltaire's neck, but the three scientists were quicker. They stepped forwards and they fired with their guns, hitting Kiya in the eyes and in the skin with the strange bloody liquid.

Present, Balkov Abbey, Russia

Tala could only watch in shock as two of the teens fell on the floor injured, blood pouring out of their wounds, all the while the others cried and yelled in fright.

But then he sensed something was wrong.

He could feel a dark aura invade all the room in a flash, and he turned his head to his right, backing away.

Kai's body was surrounded by a dark mist and it was vibrating rhythmically, growing steadily.

Kai threw his head behind and cried out, a loud ear–piercing cry that was not completely human anymore, and with horror Tala saw Kai's eyes turn completely black.

"(No!)" he howled in fear.

This couldn't happen, Kai lost control!

He could remember too well what happened the last and only time Kai lost his control, he could remember what happened, and he couldn't permit it to happen again.

He knew Bryan, Ian and Spencer were pale and scared as himself was, he could feel the aura spread in the air as Kai gasped, his chest raising and falling at the same rhythm.

He was going to change, and there was nothing they could do to stop him.

Voltaire, Boris and the other teens stopped dead as well as the guards and they all looked up towards the slate haired blader, the silence falling in the room broken only by the teen's ragged gasps.

Kai cried again, and Ray shuddered, backing away on instinct, then he turned his confused eyes to Robert, "What's happening! What's happening to Kai!"

Robert could merely stare in awe as a horrible thought flashed in his mind, Johnny grimacing in his arms as he too looked up to Kai.

Max and Kenny were holding Tyson dearly, the bluenette blader gripping tightly his shoulder in pain, and the three stared wide eyed at the scene before their eyes.

Kai's wings sprouted from his back like an explosion, the bone having its way out of the teen's back with sickening noises, black feathers flying away from his shape and as they touched the floor they burned out. One of the feathers fell onto one of the guards and under the BladeBreakers' horrified eyes the man was covered with dark flames and a second afterwards he fell on the floor with a strangled cry, twisting and turning and arching his back in pain.

Then he stopped moving, and the fire disappeared, leaving only a burned shape where the man had been.

Max yelled frightened and backed away from the dead man, but as Kai yelled again he turned his attention back to the slate haired teen.

Sharp claws appeared on his fingers whilst dangerous looking teeth appeared in Kai's open mouth, and for a moment, time froze.

They just stood still, Kai's inhuman body floating some feet above the ground, the two men and the teens with their eyes glued to him, the guards oblivious to the guns stared gaping.

Then a wave of energy exploded with a terrible rumble from Kai's shape, and all the people in the room hide their heads under their arms, to protect themselves as the walls and the ceiling disintegrated completely around them.

Not simply crumbled on their heads, no, it was disintegrated under the wave of energy Kai emitted.

BWOOOOOAMMM!

Explosions echoed around them all, together with loud rumbles as the ground shook like a earthquake, they all falling on the floor screaming in fright, mixing with Kai's loud cry.

Robert and the BladeBreakers –Tyson and Johnny had been protected by the others– dared to look up, between the smoke of the flames and the explosions, they could see the nocturne sky above them, shining stars blinking at them as if nothing had happened, but around them the Abbey was falling down in pieces, not just collapsing, but also disintegrating under the massive power from Kai.

Apart from the flames and the occasional explosions now far away from them as the remains of the walls stood between them and the explosions there was no noise for a moment, and all of them turned to Kai.

He was standing still, head lowered so none could see his face, dark waves flowing around him.

Then Kai's head turned ever so slowly towards Voltaire and Boris, his eyes shining with hatred, completely black. On his lips appeared a slow and cruel smirk as his voice echoed in the room, the voice of the Dark Phoenix Kai shared the body with.

((It's time to play…))

And he jumped forwards, launching himself towards the men, and Voltaire yelled in fright, "(Shoot him! Come on you stupid fools SHOOT!)" at that the guards picked up again their guns and placed themselves in–between Kai and Voltaire and Boris, raising their weapons and took aim on the approaching teen.

Kai, or Black Dranzer, merely smiled and it was the coldest smile Tala ever saw and did not stop.

BLAM!

The guards fired against Kai and the BladeBreakers yelled in both fear and anger, but as the bullets approached Kai's form he lifted his hands and the dark mist blocked them in midair, enveloping them as they disappeared completely.

The guards paled as they tried to retreat, but Kai was onto them in the blink of an eye and he lunged towards the nearest one –as he touched him on the chest the man howled in pain and he was enveloped by flames just like the other one had been, and the poor guy ran away screaming, but three feet away he collapsed and as he touched the floor he didn't move anymore.

"(NO!)" Tala knew he had to stop Kai before he killed too many people, he had to make him regain his consciousness!

And there was only one thing he could do –only one thing they could do.

The changes were instantaneous as he lunged forwards, his ears moving to the top of his head, covering with white fur as his eyes turned completely silver, and his hands and legs morphed in paws as they were covered in fur as well and the nails turned into claws. The Red haired blader bared his lengthened canines as he fell on his paws, jumping forwards with his rear ones, a pair of strange looking wings sprouting from his back, much like crystal made, or frozen ice.

((Kai!)) he howled.

Bryan was the next as he followed his friend, large brown wings coming out of his back as he flapped them hard, lifting himself up, his eyes turning into slits of brilliant jade, his fingers morphing into talons, and he screeched a falcon cry.

Spencer and Ian moved last; Spencer's body grew bigger as his skin turned a pale grey, his eyes changing into blight pools, his hands losing their human shape in order to become finny, his legs melting together forming a whale tail he used to push himself forwards, and surprisingly enough he started to float in midair as if swimming in the water.

Ian was the last one, his eyes filling with bronze as he hissed, his tongue sneaking out of his mouth like a snake's one, his pupils turning into invisible slits, his teeth curving out of his disappearing lips in a menacing expression; his legs fused together much like Spencer's but instead of a whale his was strong and flexuous snake tail, which grew longer and longer behind him, his face decomposing into many little clear brown scales, making him look really dangerous.

They all darted forwards to stop their friend, under the shocked and frightened eyes of the BladeBreakers, Johnny and Robert.

Kai was about to touch another guard with his clawed fingers, when Tala bumped against him, sending him on the floor; Kai screeched loudly in rage and turned to Tala with possessed eyes, growling deeply with hatred.

((Kai, wake up!)) Spencer, Ian and Bryan reached the two fighting teens and tried to block Kai, but he was stronger than them all, he possessed the power of two Beasts.

((Away!)) he roared, thrashing his arms around as to catch them, but they retreated a few steps, jumping again on him a moment afterwards. Kai's eyes turned into half moon slits and his whole body was surrounded by the dark mist as he screeched again, fire dripping from his fingers.

Bryan lunged forwards with his talons trying to catch Kai's arms, but the Phoenix merely dodged the attack, facing Ian and Spencer's double attack and blocking it with his dark mist. Tala howled and jumped on his love, his teeth shining as he tried in a desperate attempt to block his wings, but Kai turned to him and his arm darted forwards, striking the Wolf right under his throat, having him fall down, but a moment afterwards Tala was already on his paws as he prepared himself for another attack.

Tala knew they had to do something in order to have Kai regain his control, but they did not know what to do. He was dangerous, wild and completely insane, his sole desire to hurt and kill everyone on his path.

But they wouldn't stop trying.

Ray and the other teen still frozen few meters away could only look in shock as the five creatures that were the Demolition Boys and Kai fight as if trying to kill each other, Voltaire and Boris staring as well, fear finally having its way on their faces.

Kai with a jink evaded Ian's attack and with a flap of his black wings he lunged towards Boris, who's face was so pale it could pass for a sheet, his hand reaching out for his face, his lips turning upwards with an evil expression, and before any of the others could stop him one of his fingers brushed on the director's cheek.

Bryan bumped on Kai's arm, blocking him before he could touch Boris, even if he really wanted him to burn like the guards, but he did not want Kai to be responsible of another death.

Boris felt his entire face sear from Kai's dark fire, and he felt a wave of pain pass through his body; he screamed loudly clutching his face with his hands, oblivious to the others around him, falling on the floor still yelling, and when he lowered his arms the BladeBreakers, Voltaire and the Demolition Boys could see his face was half burned, no blood coming out, but a scarred skin from left eye to the chin, a trail of smoke creeping up together with the smell of burned skin.

He was horrible to see, and it was obvious he was deeply hurt, but none of the teens around him could feel intense pity for him –just maybe some disgust.

((Now it's your turn,)) Kai's hiss was low and hoarse as he turned his black eyes to Voltaire, who backed away instantaneously, bumping against the rests of the wall in a vain attempt to escape Kai's revenge.

But Tala and the others stepped before the wild slate haired teen with determined faces, they knew Kai would never forgive himself if he'd killed someone.

((Kai, please, wake up! Can't you see you are out of control?)) there was despair in Tala's voice as he looked at his love pleadingly. ((You can't let Black Dranzer have her way on your emotions… we all know you want to kill Voltaire and Boris, we would be glad to see them die or be tortured, but you're not a murderer!))

Kai growled loudly as he stepped forwards, but none of the changed teens moved. They stood still, meeting with no fear Kai's intense glare.

((Kai, please take control of Black Dranzer! It's up to you!)) Bryan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, trying to suppress the rage dwelling deep inside him, not against his friend but against Boris and Voltaire, that caused the reaction. They did not have to let anger out now that Kai needed to be calmed down and called back. ((You're not like this! React!))

((Kai, look at me,)) Ian pleaded, his snake like tongue slipping out of his mouth to lick at the air. ((Remember who you are!))

But it was neither of them who reached Kai inside the darkness Black Dranzer pulled him.

It was Spencer, as he looked mildly at his friend and whispered, ((Don't you think Kiya would be hurt seeing you this way?))

This made Kai stop dead in his tracks. There was a flicker in the black pools at the mention of the name Kiya, and Spencer continued, ((He sacrificed himself to help you, his last words were for you, he said you needed to control yourself if you wanted to hope to be free,)) his voice was secure and steady as he continued his speech, his eyes brightening up as the words came out of his mouth.

Tala felt a wave of relief seeing Kai's eyes lose some of the black as a light gold started to flow inside.

They all could see the black wings lower a little as another colour entered them, the red of the Phoenix Dranzer fighting against her nemesis, the two colours intertwining and colliding endlessly.

They all knew Kai was fighting against the dark mind in order to gain back his control, they all knew he was trying to emerge again.

Tala stepped forwards and looked straight into Kai's eyes, showing all the love he was feeling for him in that look, and for a moment here they stood, the time frozen again, the fight completely forgotten.

((Wake up Kai, we need you,)) he stated, simply, his voice low as a breath.

Then slowly but steadily, Kai's eyes mixed with gold as the light colour prevailed on the other one, as well with the wings, that were now almost completely red.

Kai blinked twice, his face showing the internal turmoil he was feeling, then he looked back at Tala, tears twinkling in his golden pools.

((Tala…)) he whispered.

MasterFranny: this is the end of the chapter. The next one will however be a little shorter due to the fact that the fic it's coming to the END. Review and wait for the last part!

I mean, I finally finished a long fic! I feel accomplished! So, review and I will put up next chapter!

The moment I finish this, I'll start re–writing the whole thing, replacing the chapters.
