My Heroes: A Hero's Journey
Chapter 20 - True Forms, part 2

Meanwhile, back at the castle of evil, a newly transformed Kyra and Brian were locked in deadly combat…and Kyra was winning!

Brian slid along the floor as Kyra knocked him back, he was badly beaten and he had blood leaking down from his wounds.

"Ha ha ha, come now Brian, why don't you just give up!" Kyra mocked as she stood over his battered body.

"Never!" Brian yelled before he jumped up with the same gun in his guns that he used to free Yugi and Mai.

"Huh, still playing with your toys?" Kyra said before she grabbed hold of the front of the gun. "When are you ever going to learn?" Just then, Kyra grasp on the gun tightened as it exploded in hers and Brian's hands, Kyra was unaffected but the blast sent Brian flying back and crashing into the wall behind.

Kyra walked up to him again as he was on the peek of consciousness. Suddenly, Kyra grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up high in the air so his feet wouldn't touch the ground.

"I AM IMMORTAL! HA HA HA!" Kyra laughed evilly as Brian struggled for air and to get free from Kyra's grasp as she tightened it even more.


Meanwhile, outside the room in the corridor…

Mai and both Yugi half's had their left ears pressed up against the door, trying to listen to what was going on in the room.

"Darn it, it can't hear anything!" Mai yelled.

"Me neither," Fant. Yugi replied as tried to listen. "I hope he's okay!"

"Let me hear!" Spider. Yugi yelled.

"All right already!" Fant. Yugi replied as he and Spider. Yugi turned around so that Spider. Yugi's side was up against the door. "But it's unlikely you will be able to hear anything!" Spider. Yugi pressed his ear up against it and concentrated hard.

"Well?" Mai asked.

"Nope, nothing!" Spider. Yugi replied.

"Told ya!" Fant. Yugi teased.

"Well what about you Mister Rubber boy! Why can't you just stick your stand through and open it the other side!"

"Okay, first off it's MISTER FANTASTIC! Second, to do that the door needs gaps for me to stretch though, do you see any gaps!" Fant. Yugi yelled.

"Calm down both of you!" Mai interrupted.

"HE STARTED IT!" both Yugis yelled together.

"Ssh, hang on," Mai said as she went up against the door again. "I think it hear something." Spider. Yugi went up against the door as well, while Fant. Yugi stretched his ear out and pressed it up against the door as well.

"That's gross!" Spider. Yugi replied.

"Ssh!" Mai responded as they all listened.


Back in the room…

Brian continued to struggle in Kyra's grip around his throat as he was running out of air.

"Give in to the inevitable Brian, there's no use fighting it anymore!" Kyra said as Brian struggled less and less. Suddenly, Brian's hands dropped to his side as Kyra smirked. But suddenly, Kyra's smirk went away as she sensed something.

"Let him go Kyra!" a familiar voice said behind her. Kyra spun around, with Brian still in her grip, to see a very angry Kirsty standing there with a white symbol on her forehead glowing.

"Well, well, if it isn't my light half, I knew it would be matter of time before you would turn up!"

"Let Brian go!" Kirsty responded angrily.

"Haha, let him go? But I'm having so much fun with him!" Kyra laughed.

"I'll for the last time Kyra, let him go!" Kirsty yelled as the mark on her forehead glowed brighter.

"Ah!" Kyra yelled as the light blinded her. The light on Kirsty's forehead completely covered her as she began to transform. Once the light died down, Kyra opened her eyes again to see a newly transformed Kirsty standing in front of her.

Kirsty now had white hair hanging down beside each side for her face and she wore a white Japanese style dress (just like Kyra's but only white) and the white symbol was still on her forehead. Kyra wasn't to pleased about this as she frowned at Kirsty.

"Fine, if you wanna play…" she said before she threw Brian's body to the floor and began to glow black as she charged up. "Then let's play!"

"Bring it!" Kirsty replied as she began to charge up by glowing white.

Suddenly, the two rivals charged at other as the light and dark clashed.


Meanwhile, back on the jet…

Leon had taken over the controls as he flew the remaining heroes to the new hidden base.

"Are we there yet!" Malik moaned as he and the other sat in there seats blindfolded.

"No," Leon replied.

"Are we there yet?" Valon asked.

"No," Leon replied again.

"Are we there yet?" Joey asked.

"Yes!" Leon replied

"Really?" Joey responded.

"No!" Leon yelled. (Author's notes: Hehe, I don't own that scene so please don't sue, but can anyone tell me where it is from?)

"Are we there yet?" Mana asked.

"NO! Will everyone stop asking me that!" Leon yelled as the jets communicator started ringing. Leon lent over and turned it on, as the screen switched on to show Rebecca.

"Leon, how is everything?" she asked.

"Frustrating! I didn't sign up to be a babysitter for a bunch of inpatient superheroes!" Leon said to her.

"Hey!" everyone on the jet except for Leon yelled as Rebecca laughed.

"Where's Kirsty then?" she asked.

"She took off, but before that she was acting really weird, saying about Kyra and Brian, so she put me in charge," Leon replied.

"Oh…okay, I'm sending you the coordinates for the base, I hope to see you soon!"

"Me to 'Bec," Leon said before the jet communicator shut off as their was silence on the jet.

"Are we there yet?" Mana asked again as Leon turned around and just glared at her. "Err…never mind!"


Meanwhile, back at the castle…

Dark Kyra and Light Kirsty were going neck and neck against each other in mid-air, both getting there own hits but each still coming back until suddenly, Kirsty placed her fists together and slammed them down on Kyra's head, making her go crashing down into the ground.

"Ah!" Kyra screamed in pain before she looked back up to see as Kirsty rinsed her arms up and energy light started gathering in her hands. "Hang on, what are you doing?"

"Please Kyra, don't insult MY intelligence!" Kirsty said as the energy blast powered up even more.

"But…but you can't!"

"I can!" Kirsty replied, as she got ready to fire it.

"Not on my watch!" Kyra said as she opened out her hands and created a black circle. "Ha ha," she laughed as she then threw the black circle on the floor and it immediately started to suck everything into it.

"Huh? A black hole?" Kirsty responded as she and Kyra seemed unaffected by it. "You must be losing it Kyra! What good is a black hole going to do to me?"

"It's not you I'm aiming for!" Kyra replied as Kirsty gasped and turned around to see Brian's body starting to be pulled in towards the, getting bigger by the second, black hole.

"Brian!" Kirsty yelled.

"Ha ha, you have a choice, either you can end this whole thing now a destroy me with that blast and lose the best friend you've ever had into the darkness or you can save him and then I'll get away to continue my devious plan! The choice is yours!"

Kirsty looked back and forth between Kyra and Brian, trying to figure out what to do.

"There is no choice here," Kirsty whispered as she rinsed her hands with the blast in them and Kyra's eyes widened…
