I'll just write this up fast so you can get to reading.

"Sounds good to me. I'm getting bored with this game anyway." Kei smirked as he reset Drieser into his launcher. "Since it's the last battle, why not start off together?"

"Okay." Tyson replied as he picked up Dragoon, who had been spinning perfectly fine. Tyson reset Dragoon into his launcher and positioned himself for the launch.

"Oh and Tyson try not to die before the match is over. You might not be Kai, but you're still worthy of being by my side." Kei smiled and he positioned himself to launch his own blade.

Tyson ignored him and started the count, "Three…two…"

Kei joined in at two and they both finished by saying, "one… let it rip!"

Both bladers released their blades and sent them hurtling towards each other. By mere inches, they had missed colliding into one another. Dragoon landed smoothly onto the ground while Dreiser remained on course towards Tyson.

When Dreiser landed in front of Tyson's feet, Kei yelled, "Kokushibyou!"

A black cloud appeared instantaneously around Tyson and Dreiser. Dragoon sped back towards his master as the cloud billowed softly around Tyson's whole body and covering him in darkness. Max, Kenny, and Rei stared on, unsure as to what they could do.

"Tyson! Are you okay?" Max yelled as Rei and Kenny turned and saw Max's face full of uncertainty and worry. Looking back towards the spot Tyson had been standing at, no response came to Max's question.

The room became quiet and was only interrupted by a low rumbling sound coming from the cloud and from Kei's laughter which was growing gradually. Tyson's friends stared angrily towards Kei.

"What did you do?" Rei asked, threateningly.

Kei calmed down and smiled. "Me? I did nothing. Tyson on the other hand, well let's just say formed the darkness consuming him."

"What?" Max replied, confused.

Kei signed. "I thought it would be easy to realize but I guess I'll have to explain. Dreiser's Kokushibyou or Black Death to make it simple feeds on worry, fear, hate and as a result pulls its opponent into a death-like sleep. Only the blader himself can escape from its spell. But I wouldn't get your hopes up since he's only got about, I'd say, ten minutes at most or else he dies or goes into a lasting coma. Neither of which are pretty in my opinion."

"You cheated! This is supposed to be a battle between blades!" Max shouted angrily.

Kei only shook his head in disbelief. "Tisk, tisk, tisk Max haven't you been watching. Dragoon is stable and still ready to battle. And as for Dreiser…" Kei didn't have to finish as Dreiser whizzed out of the cloud and headed towards her master. "…she's perfectly fine enough to battle."

Rei, Max, and Kenny stood stunned before looking at each other worried.

"How's Tyson going to get out of this now?" Kenny asked as Rei and Max looked between each other. Neither of them could answer.
