Hey people, I this one is also all done!

Brago: Was it supposed to be better?

...Shut up

Hey guys, ummm I was rereading my last chappie and I apologize again for how short it was! SORRY! Oh yeah! Thank you reviewers! (this chapter was made possible by the help of Twilight Memories, everyone bow down to her greatness)

I do not own anything beside plot, no wait don't own that either, that's the plot bunnies………then what do I own?

Brago: nothing

Hey! That's no fair! I think I must own something………..yes! This EMPTY ROOT BEER BOTTLE! I OWN IT, IT IS MINE!

Brago: ok…….actually your dad bought it.

…………..shut up……………….

Brago and Sherry leapt away from each other in attempts to avoid the blast sent their way. Brago was thrown into a tree by the blast while Sherry was sent tumbling. Within moments the two were on their feet again and facing their opponents. Sherry's arms were wrapped around Brago's book that was being held to her chest.

"Hello Sherry, I have destroyed all those that wronged me." Koko smiled at her old friend, "Now I just have to take care of you, you held me back, got in my way. You never were my real friend."

Sherry felt her heart crack at Koko's words. No! This is not Koko talking! This is not my sweet even-tempered friend! This is a monster! This is a monster created by that mamodo of her's, Zophise! This is NOT MY FRIEND! She sealed herself off to the sound of Koko's evil laughter.

Brago looked across the small crater created by the other mamodo's attack, to Sherry. He was worried about her. WAIT! What the hell am I thinking! I DON'T get worried! I don't care about anything besides becoming king! No, that's not true. "Shut up," he growled to himself. If Sherry heard him she gave no sign of it, she was to lost in her own thought.

Brago quickly returned his full attention to the oncoming battle. This was going to be hard, Zophise was experienced and merciless. He had been around as long as Brago had been, both were about the same age.

If anything though, Zophise had the advantage, this was going to be emotionally trying for Sherry to fight her former friend, and Koko didn't care in the slightest. Brago knew that if they won, the control that Zophise had over the girl would end. But Brago also had seen Zophise control humans before, they never were this…….obedient.

This was not only Zophise's doing, this was the girl's inner evil. Zophise had probably only shown her the power he possessed and she had gone running immediately to him. At first she was most likely under his control, but it was highly likely that she had broken free of his control long ago. If they won, Brago doubted that she would return to normal, and he didn't believe he could make Sherry live through that. Yep, he was worried.

He was torn away from his thoughts when he heard a spell shouted, "LONDO RADOM!" He turned his head slightly to see that Zophise had a green glowing whip clenched in his hands. He took the whip and snapped it towards Sherry. DAMN! Sherry's eyes grew wide and she jumped out of the way.

When Zophise's whip hit the tree behind her however there was an explosion that threw her toward a tree. Brago leaped toward her destination and plucked her from the air as his back slammed into the tree with enough force to make the trunk crack. Brago hurriedly came to the conclusion that if Sherry had hit the tree, she would not have survived the impact.

Then Sherry realized who exactly was HOLDING her and began to blush. Brago, seeing this, was puzzled and slightly pleased at the reaction.

NO, BAD Brago, no affection for inferior beings!

Oh shut up! he told himself mentally.

Fine, fall in love with a pathetic human, but I thought you wanted to be king?

Brago shook his head violently before hastily putting her down on her feet, feeling more then a little crazy.Then he was forced to steady Sherry when she almost fell by grabbing her arm. She nodded in thanks, still blushing, then opened the book and called out the first spell, "REIS!" Brago carefully aimed for Zophise and sent the gravity ball towards him. Zophise clearly wasn't expecting such a speedy recovery and just barely missed being hit head on by the attack.

As it was he caught the tail end of the energy and lost his hold on the whip. Koko frowned and decided to cast another of her spells, "GIGANO RADOM!" The destructive beam hurtled towards the opposing pair.

Sherry countered, "GIGANO REIS!" Both attacks met and canceled each other out.

Both teams were breathing heavily and sweat glistened on their faces. The only one uninjured was Koko. Brago had a cracked rib from where he hit the tree and multiple bruises. Zophise suffered similar injuries, while Sherry supported a large gash on her forehead from the first attack. She wiped the blood from her eyes in order to see the fight better. Koko just stood there with a smile on her face and an evil glint in her eyes.

There was a rustling in the bushes that tore all eyes from the battle. A young boy emerged from the brush by Koko. He waddled over on pudgy two year old legs up to Koko, and smiled up at her with a toothy grin, "Hewo pwetty wady, have u seen my mommy? I can' find 'er anywhere!"

Koko looked down at the kid and glared, "Beat it, kid, and don't touch me!" She kicked out with her leg contacting him in the face as he reached toward her. "Radom!" She yelled out and an astonished Zophise raised his hand involuntarily while the attack shot forth and incinerated the child. Brago and Sherry ran forward at the same time but they were too late to save the kid. Where he had previously been standing was only a pile of ash.

Sherry felt her eyes water up and she did nothing to stop the tears from pouring down her face. Her old friend would never do that, right? But then she remembered the startled look on Zophise's face when he attacked that kid, he wasn't controlling Koko; she was in full control, and enjoying it!

Brago stared in horror where the human child had been. This was horrible. Sure he would be mean and rude to a human child that would come up to him, but this was pure evil. He was a child, a defenseless child who had NOTHING to do with this! Brago revised his former opinion of Koko, she was not only free of Zophise's control, but she completely controlled him!

He glanced at his book wielder to see the tears streaming down her cheeks, he could also see in her eyes the realization that this WAS her old friend, and that she was EVIL! He also saw the determination and hatred that began to burn in Sherry's eyes, now they were ready to fight at an entirely new level!

Sherry held her book and stood ready for attack. It was then that she realized that she could read a different line in the book. She was contemplating whether or not to use it when Koko shouted out a spell, "Oruga Radom!"

Sherry watched in growing horror as flames erupted from Zophise's hand and formed to create a fiery dragon. The beast towered above the clearing then opened its large mouth and dove towards Sherry and Brago. Sherry had just enough time to scream above the sound of the approaching terror, "DIOGA GRAVIDON!" Then they were engulfed in the fire.

Koko smiled, and then laughed. They were dead! At long last that rich brat and the horridmamodo who hadsaved her were dead! She turned away from the scene and began to leave when she heard a sound, "ION GRAVIREI!" Next thing Koko knew, she was flattened againstthe ground.

Then the pressure increased. It kept pressing down on her until she felt her bones begin to crack. Then she felt them give as she was awashed in immeasurable pain. Then it was gone. A stream of hot blood leaked from the corner of her mouth. HOW! BUT THAT SHOULD HAVE KILLED THEM!

Sherry picked herself up from the ground where she had fallen then limped over to where her dieing friend lay. "That last spell saved us. Your attack failed Koko. You lose."

"B-but.. I Sherry…. You…. Why? I-I thought…..we..were..friends…" Maybe this will work, Koko thought to herself, I mean, she thought I was under Zophise's control, she'll help me! She always was so trusting. Little fool.

"You're a good actress, you know? I almost believe you. The Koko I used to know was my friend, but she died a long time ago. You are not her, she would never kill a child." Sherry glared down at Koko, "You are dead to me."

Koko glared up at her, "wrong…..you...were just...too... stupid…..to see...the real me…I...thought you could…help...me….you were...NEVER...my friend…..I should never have saved….you." With that last attack, Koko was gone. However she knew, that that last speech would be her vengeance.

Sherry reached over the crushed body and picked up the book from under Koko's limp hand. She stood with the spell book in hand then turned toward Brago who had stood by and heard the whole thing. She glanced over towards where Zophise had fallen. He remained there unconscious. Sherrie tossed the book to Brago, "Reis." The book disappeared into the flames and Zophise faded away to nothing.

With that done Sherry closed her eyes and slipped from consciousness. Brago just barely caught her before she hit the ground.

Hey what did ya think! Sorry about making Koko so evil and then killing her off. I actually like her. I just thought it would be best!

Sooooooooooo, plz review!

And the next chappie will be fun! I will have Sherry's mom and Brago will have more fluff and he will get angry at the hospital!
