Chapter Three: Dark One

Dark clouds formed in the once peaceful and cloudless skies. After some time passed rain began to fall. Heavy rain.

Aelita slowly raised her head, the bell rang again. Someone at the door, Yumi's parents I suppose… at least I'll have someone to keep me company…She got out of her chair and speedily went to answer the door, who she thought would be there, however, was not there.

Lightning Flashed and she screamed in delight, "JEREMIE!" She leapt forwards into his arms, "Jeremie! You came to visit!" Her eyes suddenly flashed open and she jumped back. Something isn't right… He's so quiet and this isn't really his type of entrance…

"Who are you?" She yelled, "Why do you look like Jeremie?" "I am Jeremie." The dark figure replied creepily, "Don't you recognize me?" Aelita smirked, "You can't fool me! You are not Jeremie! You are different!" "How so? I look like him, I talk like him, am I not him?" "No! Jeremie is kind and loving and caring… you are just a shell of his appearance, a shell of his negative side!" "Heh… heh… I assure you I am Jeremie… but not as you would know him!" The figure leapt forwards and rushed Aelita, knocking her off he feet, her world went dark…

She awoke in a pitch black place, she couldn't see her own hands. "What the…? Where am I?" "A place that is neither here, nor there." Aelita blinked after hearing that statement, what was he talking about? And just about where was he in the room? His voice seemed to be coming from everywhere. "It is a place between dimensions, a place between white and black, light and darkness, life and death." He said the last bit slowly, in hope that it would scare her. "Enjoy your stay here, you won't be here too long." "Care to tell me your plans before you leave mister super villain?" "No, I've seen too many James Bond films to know how that turns out." "Then could you at least tell me who you are?" This wasn't like Aelita, she didn't usually ask so many questions…

"YOU! YOU'RE NOT-" "Surprise!" Aelita whipped her hand out from behind her back and threw down a smoke bomb, then the light flickered on, they were in a basement and the switch to the lights has been hit with a couple of shurikens, "Hah! Like I would let you hurt me- I mean her!" Aelita smirked and ripped off her face – a mask! It was Yami all along!

"Who are you? And what business do you have with her?" The dark figure shouted, "She is very important to me, if she winds up dead then you will befall the same fate. Get the point?" Yami drew his sword and pointed it to the dark figure's chin, "Yami… it has been a while. Now that I get a good look at you I recognize you very well. The long dark coat, the short sword, the jet black hair… it sets the scene for a gothic style movie… wouldn't you agree?" "Yeah, I suppose so."

"Well in that case… let blood fall from the skies!" He skidded backwards and rushed Yami just like he had done Aelita, Yami jumped and threw down a shuriken, "This has just begun, don't try to end it dark one!" He swung his sword and landed a direct blow, "Heh… suppose I'm too strong for- What the!" The dark figure exploded into smoke, "A replacement?" His eyes darted upwards just as a punch was landed on his cheek and he was sent spiraling into the ground, "Augh…" "Enough for you? How about this!" He drew back his hand and drew a sword out, in seconds they were at it again, metal clashing but neither landing any hits, they drew back again.

He's strong… too strong… I might just have my ace left though…Yami Smirked, "Time to finish this…" "I agree…" The two darted at each other and Yami cocked back his hand, "LIGHTNING EDGE!" His hand flashed like lightning, "I'm putting everything I got into this move, you're through! YEAAAAHHH!" He sliced right through the body of the dark figure and Yami spun around to see his actual damage done to his opponent, he gasped in horror, the dark figure was smoking where the hole was and the smoke was fixing the damage done. "No… I destroyed you! It isn't possible! You cannot be!" Yami realized time was up, "This isn't good…" He threw down a smoke bomb. When the smoke cleared Yami had disappeared.

Aelita woke up at her desk, "Yumi… I just had the weirdest dream…" "Don't worry Aelita, it's over now."
