22: Ryan's True SelfKimiko almost fell over backwards with shock when she heard him say that.
"Ryan? What's going on?" gasped Kimiko.
"I'm…losing…control…of my…body…" groaned Ryan. Suddenly his eyes flared up again.
"Silence! I will kill you, Kimiko!" growled Ryan, his voice deep with of evil. His eyes when normal again, as if he was switching between personalities.
"No…I…won't…let you…"
"Your "love" for her won't protect her!" shouted Ryan.
"Kimiko…Please…take me…down…"
Ryan roared as he broke out of the Tangle Web Comb. He lunged at Kimiko, knocking her back. He stepped over her and glared down at her.
"Kimiko, your end is near!" said Ryan.
"Thorn of Thunderbolt!" shouted a voice from behind them. A yellow thunderbolt hit Ryan, sending flying into a wall.
"Kimiko!" said Raimundo as he ran towards her, holding the Thorn of Thunderbolt, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah…" groaned Kimiko "I'm…okay…"
"Kimiko!" said Omi as he ran beside her, "You're wounded!"
Kimiko looked down, she was bleeding and her robes were stained with blood.
"Clay!" shouted Raimundo as Ryan pulled himself out of the wall, "Get Kimiko away from him! I will handle Ryan myself…"
Kimiko felt Clay's arms wrap around her, lifting her up and carrying her away. Clay put her down in another part of the temple, out of the way of the battle that was going on.
"You stay put here!" said Clay "I'll send Dojo to help you"
Kimiko opened her eyes and looked up at him.
"Why…" groaned Kimiko "Why is he doing this..."
Clay looked down at her, trying to think of something that would cheer her up. There was a sudden explosion, followed by the cries of Raimundo and Omi.
"Sorry Kimiko, I've got to go help them" said Clay as he ran off towards where Ryan was trying to fry Omi and Raimundo with a thunder bolt.
Kimiko put her head in her hands as tears began to fall from her eyes. She looked up into the sky and screamed at the top of her voice,
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"
"I can throw some light on the subject…" said a voice from behind her.
Kimiko looked around; standing opposite of her was a woman with an evil grin on her face.
"Wuya?"
Kimiko jumped to her feet, and turned to face her,
"Wuya!" shouted Kimiko "What are you doing here?"
"I was just passing through…" said Wuya as she walked over towards Kimiko.
"You and Chase are up to something!" yelled Kimiko "What did you do to him?"
"We haven't done anything…" chuckled Wuya "It's all Ryan's doing…"
"DON'T LIE TO ME!" yelled Kimiko as she summoned fire to her fists, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?"
Wuya began to laugh; the flames around Kimiko's fists began to grow.
"Chase was right…" smirked Wuya.
"What do you mean?" growled Kimiko.
"You really care for him, don't you?" said Wuya.
"So?" growled Kimiko. An evil smile spread across her face.
"So it will hurt you more when he joins us!"
"What? No!" gasped Kimiko "He will never join you!"
"Really?" said Wuya as she held out The Shadow of Fear, "This thing here will make sure that he does…"
"The Shadow of Fear!" gasped Kimiko "You used it to made Ryan go crazy!"
"Clever girl…" said Wuya, "Lets see what else you can do!"
She summoned green flames in her hands, and flung them at her. Kimiko leaped to the side to dodge the fire. Even though she was wounded, she still got up on her feet and faced Wuya.
"You want some of this?" yelled Kimiko as she made her flames as big as she could get them, "Come and get it!"
She flung herself at Wuya, her fists blazing like mad as she swung her fists at her. But Wuya was too quick for her in Kimiko's wounded state. She created a green flame and blasted Kimiko square in the chest, sending her flying across the ground. He hit the floor with a thud; she moaned as she tried to get back up, blood was now flowing faster from the wound on her chest. She fell back onto the floor; her body was scorched because of the green flames that Wuya threw at her. Wuya walked over her and looked down at her with an evil smile.
"You know…" said Wuya as she bent over her, "I could kill you, right her, right now…"
Kimiko looked up at her; her voice was weak because of the pain of her burnt body and blood loss.
"Why…don't you…then…"
"I want you to suffer mentally before you suffer physically!"
"What do…you mean…"
"Kimiko!" shouted Dojo, "Are you okay…Wuya!"
"Dojo…" groaned Kimiko as loud as she can, "Help…me…"
Dojo slivered off, yelling at the top of his voice. Wuya laughed as she looked back down at Kimiko.
"You're lucky that Chase didn't want me to kill you" said Wuya "I would have killed you by now"
Kimiko looked up; her eyes were going burry as she began to lose consciousness.
"Wuya!" shouted Master Fung as he ran round the corner with Dojo.
"I'd love to stay and chat" cackled Wuya as she walked off into the darkness of the night, "But evil doesn't wait…"
Master Fung ran up to Kimiko, whose breathing was now very weak.
"Kimiko! Are you alright?" said Master Fung.
"Wuya…" groaned Kimiko "Wuya and Chase...made Ryan…evil…Not…his fault…"
"Don't worry, Kimiko" said Dojo, "Raimundo and the others have nearly weakened Ryan into defeat!"
"No…" groaned Kimiko "Don't…hurt him…"
Her head flopped down to the side and she made a small gurgling noise as she fainted and her mind fell into darkness.
Next day…
"…Ryan…"
That name echoed in Kimiko mind,
"…Ryan…"
"…Ryan…"
She suddenly felt a warm feeling flow through her body, she feel her arms and legs again. She began to open her eyes, colours began to fill them. She looked up and saw the blurred image of a boy with dark brown hair and green eyes and a boy with a large yellow head, above them was a large glowing blue light.
"Her eyes are focusing…" said a voice, the image sharpened to show Raimundo and Omi standing over her with the Heart Devine shining its healing light on her.
"Rai…Omi…" groaned Kimiko as she sat up and looked around, she saw that she was in the medical room. She looked up at Raimundo and Omi, Raimundo had a blood soaked bandage on his left arm and Omi had a large black and blue bruise on his head.
"What's going on?" said Kimiko.
"You were out cold" said Raimundo "Wuya beat you up bad…"
She looked out the window, the sun was shining.
"Was I out cold all night?" said Kimiko as she rubbed her head.
"Yes" said Omi. Kimiko suddenly realised what happened last night.
"What's happened to Ryan?" panicked Kimiko.
"Well…" sighed Omi "We have some good news…and some…bad news…"
"What?" said Kimiko as she tried to get out of bed.
"Well…" said Clay "We managed to stop Ryan, he is back to his normal, un-evil self"
Kimiko flopped back onto the bed and sighed a sigh of relief.
"That's good…What's the bad news?"
Master Fung walked into the medical room,
"Ah Kimiko, your awake"
"Yes Master Fung" said Kimiko as she managed to get out of bed, "Raimundo? What was the bad news?"
Raimundo looked over to Master Fung and gave him a look that he understood straight away. He walked over towards the bed next to the one Kimiko was in; there was a curtain around it.
"Well?" said Kimiko "What's wrong?"
"Come here, Kimiko…" said Master Fung as he placed a hand on the curtain and began to pull it back.
Kimiko almost fainted at what was behind the curtain, lying on the bed was a body, it had black and blue bruises all over it, scars were oozing blood into the bandages that were wrapped around them. There were very faint breathing noises coming from his chest, and his face was stained with blood.
"No…" gasped Kimiko as she fell to her knees, "Ryan…"
