Chapter Eighty Six

Dark vs. Light

Orb Headquarters-Research Lab

Lacus backed away, as he let out a horrid cry while falling on his own knees.

Lacus looked down getting nearer as when she approached his eyes focused on her as her fear level went to the maximum.

She looked for a few seconds as the emptiness had returned and for about two seconds he was frozen.

Outside the Room

All three outside watched the events happen as the event concluded.

With Kira

Kira felt the worst pain he had ever felt in his head as he let out that cry and fell to his knees.

Elsewhere with Kira

However Kira then felt as if he was falling into darkness, he looked around and only saw darkness as he felt himself hit the ground.

Pitch blackness as he got up on one knee, looking around he saw this place starting to lighten up a bit, half the area was dark and half was lit.

Looking around the lit area it was as if there was an open area with nothing just that you could see it. This was by far the strangest thing he had ever seen. One minute he was struggling with Lacus and the next minute he was here. The only thing he knew was for some reason he didn't like that lit area. He sensed extreme danger from that area.

However as he walked around in the darkened areas no matter how far he walked there was nothing changing. The lit area wasn't going away as well.

He was getting very angry and confused as he looked around that was until he heard a voice.

"We finally meet…you don't know how long I have waited for this time," the voice very familiar said.

Kira turned towards the dark area as what he found shocked him as it was a complete reflection of himself standing in the lit area.

"Who are you?" Kira asked.

The other Kira looked straight at him, no hatred no deep darkness in his eyes only anger, "I am you and I want my body back," this Kira replied.

The dark Kira backed away as how could this be happening, however it came to him.

Arctic Ocean-Port station

Jibril's Ship

Jibril arrived at this port for awhile now as the report they got they were trying to confirm.

The captain and the officers were doing all they could but communication was weak for some reason.

Station

"I need to know what is going on." Jibril asked walking in to see the Logos presence.

"Sir, we cannot tell, for some reason we cannot get in contact with our other forces and any alliance presence," the officer replied.

"What are you getting on the screen?" Jibril asked.

"Nothing sir, this is very strange," the officer replied.

Jibril didn't like this one bit; they had no backup only what they had here in case of an emergency.

"What shall we do sir?" the officer asked.

"I am not leaving until I know it will be safe, get on it," Jibril replied.

"Yes sir…" the officer said however that was when everything went blank.

"Sir!" the officer nearly yelled.

"What is it?" Jibril asked moving quicker.

"For some reason sir, I just lost all communication and radar, there is nothing," the officer replied.

Jibril's Ship

On that civilian liner the same happened, everything was being jammed.

"What is this mess?" The captain asked trying to bring the stuff back on line.

"Unknown sir, I cannot detect anything," the officers said doing the same thing as the stations officers.

"Sir!" one officer then yelled.

The captain and the others looked, "Inform Lord Jibril now!" The captain said.

Inside the station

Jibril was actually doing some work trying to get the radar working again however that wouldn't be necessary.

"Sir, over there!" the officer shouted.

Jibril looked at the screen, "Impossible!"

Outside gaining speed was the Doomsday.

They dropped the jamming long enough so they could be detected however then brought it back up again.

"How far?" Jibril asked quickly.

"About twenty minute's sir," the officer replied.

Jibril was out the door fast as he wasn't staying around here.

The officer inside informed the captain on the ship.

Jibril's Ship

The captain got the message as they were preparing their forces for battle, they had a civilian liner but Jibril had a few surprises in store. The station had a few surprises as well.

Jibril got back as they were preparing to take off.

Jibril was ready as that was the last ship the wanted to see.

Onogoro Headquarters-Research Lab

Outside the Room

Mu still didn't allow them in as his abilities caught on to something, "Unbelievable," was all he said.

"What is it?" Cagalli asked.

"Conflict, battle, incredible," Mu replied.

Athrun looked in as did Cagalli as a second later it was different.

Kira's Subconscious

Dark stared at light for a second, "You…you were the one that kept causing all that pain."

"Partially, however you do not belong, I am taking it back," original replied.

Dark laughed, "I can feel how much you despise me, however deny it all you want I was born from the feelings you felt deep in your heart."

"Correct, however that man forced you on stage and kept you in control, however all that is about to change," original replied.

Dark faced him approaching, "You think you have the power to overtake me, I am the one and only Kira now, His Excellency gave me a mission and I will not stop until it is done."

"I won't allow that to happen, you are strong however your chairman knew one thing which is you don't have the power to keep me controlled by yourself, which is precisely why when I can break out you have no memory of it, I have been stuck here watching you commit these…acts of destruction, no more!" original replied.

"I was only acting out what you once felt, don't place all this on me," dark replied.

"Liar! True I felt anger, true I felt hatred at sometimes…however my principle has never changed, I still believe in humanity, I believe in the hope that people can change, and now I believe in myself to overtake you once and for all," original replied.

"All nonsense! All of that is pure weakness, humanity must perish and then and only then will war stop," dark fired back.

"For awhile maybe, however that only eventually repeat the cycle, ultimates will eventually fight other ultimates, the only way to stop it once and for all is by the people who live here now to work towards the change, I believe it can be done," original replied.

"You are beginning to bore me, It makes my skin crawl being in the same body as you," dark replied.

"Then let me show you to the door, because I will take my body back," original replied.

All of a sudden something appeared in front of them both.

"I know you remember these," original replied.

Dark looked at the objects, "The same swords His Excellency used to train me."

"I know all of what went on and I have learned from that, he never intended to go so far as I have the power to surpass his abilities however he never expected his control to weaken either, his power is great but once I finish you I will break his power on me once and for all," original replied.

Dark took the blade, "For all you did to me, I will kill you!"

"You should never have existed, you should have stayed buried deep within where you belong, however I do have to thank you," original replied.

"For what?" Dark said angrily.

"For showing me what I felt at one time was completely wrong, now I know what I did after the first war was right, I suffered for it but now it was all worth it, and now I must take back what is mine and regain this world," original said quickly taking that blade.

Dark started charging as original waited for him; dark was using his hatred to full rage. However original had the same abilities and knew what to do.

"Once you're gone I will no longer be held back," Dark replied deadly as the blade was brought down.

Original raised his as they connected power with power they were completely even.

Each was still on their own side.

"You see half the area is lit, when I get all of it I will be back in control," original replied.

"Never!" Dark replied starting to gain the upper hand.

Doomsday

Bridge

When they were in range of where Jibril was hiding Ryu ordered Shinn to his mobile suit as battle would soon begin.

"Shall we take them out in one blow sir?" Willard asked.

Ryu had been acting strangely for a few days in his mind.

"No, have Asuka take care of it…I want to see if he is worthy," Ryu replied.

"Yes sir," Willard said as they were ready to launch.

Ryu said nothing as the feelings he was getting over the past few days were making him feel weird.

Hanger

Shinn got the word as he was happy as can be, now he was about to be number one.

Shinn boarded the Destiny as he waited for orders.

Bridge

Ryu watched as they were nearly there, "Launch," Ryu ordered.

"Yes sir," Willard replied.

Sarah watched as well, things were certainly strange over the past few days however she knew well that after this they were going to retrieve the commander and she was very mixed on that.

Hanger

Shinn got the word as he quickly launched out happy as can be.

Jibril's Forces

Jibril saw the launch as he sent out his own forces as they were ordered to launch.

The Destiny mobile suit soon with met a very quick surprise.

Onogoro Headquarters-Research Lab

Kira's Subconscious

Dark was pushing the original back, "I will not let you stop the inevitable!" the dark said pushing forward and as he did the area was getting darker.

Original was a little shocked at this, it held still this much power this much hatred…all in all he had this much hatred, however evolved once it was made as the dominant personality he started this. That war took so much pain from him that he knew he in some way had a small part in this things existence, which was something he was going to remedy right now.

"I will stop you and your chairman…" original Kira replied as he stopped their movement.

"My strength is far greater then when I was first created…I am Kira now," the dark one replied.

All of a sudden they came to a quick stop, "I really do pity you," original replied.

"Fool!" Dark said trying to move again however they weren't moving at all, they were locked in a standstill.

"I felt everything at one time and everything you did, you were made not to get any other qualities then hatred and darkness…that is my fault…however I cannot allow you to continue!" original yelled as now they were going the other way.

Dark looked around as the area was getting lighter again, in fact more so then what they started out with.

"You don't know me as well as you claim if you think I will fall for such ideal nonsense," dark told him.

Original only stared at him, "Don't get me wrong I know it's not possible to turn you, my only goal is to destroy you once and for all," original said as now the blows started to exchange.

Dark however noticed the scenery changed, with the exception of the dark and light they were now in the place that the chairman trained him in his abilities.

"Surprised, remember this is my subconscious my world technically…I brought you here to for the last time teach you one thing he didn't," original said.

Dark was trying something but it wasn't working.

"Try all you like but your just a mock personality, remember my body I am in control," Kira replied.

Dark was getting highly flustered, "Then what didn't he teach me?"

"He never taught you one thing, something he never thought you happen…he didn't teach you to lose, and now I will show you first hand," original replied to him as he charged for him now.

Dark let out his angered cry as he started using the abilities.

However the original had the same things.

Dark swung as original moved out of the way, "To slow," original said as he spun around moving for a quick slash.

Dark caught on at the last second as he blocked the blow sending him backwards.

Original noticed the area was getting lighter again; it was now about seventy five percent to his twenty five percent.

Dark was breathing heavily as he felt his head hurt again, "How is this happening?"

Original stared at him, "Tell me what you see."

"Images…get them out of my head!" dark yelled.

"If your so strong then get them out yourself, all I am doing is showing you what I truly am…I am not you," original told him.

Original Kira however stopped the images as he had to beat him the correct way to totally weaken his control; it had to be a way where there would be no doubt.

Dark looked back up, "You say over and over you are not me but that is not true…you concealed me deep down and now I am just carrying out the commands you didn't have the courage to do on your own."

"So you see it now?" Original asked.

Dark got the truth when he arrived and original just showed him more, he knew he was created deep down from the anger and pain Kira once felt and the chairman used that to create him…how he didn't know, but one thing was for sure, dark was dark and he would not falter at all. Ryu was his master and Ryu he would obey.

Original Kira knew that, Ryu's abilities were strong no question as they made this have perfect loyalty to him. There was more to the birth of this dark personality but that could be saved for later as he had a job to do.

Dark moved for him once again using his power and abilities.

Original stood his ground as he waited.

"Now you die!" Dark yelled jumping up in the air and slicing with his god like speed.

Dark smirked however was then surprised as the blade was blocked with a glowing glare from the original in his eyes.

Original then reached out as he picked dark up and slammed him to the ground.

Dark lost the blade as he landed hard on his back, he was going to recover but as he did he looked up and saw the blade pointed inches from his face and originals foot on his chest holding him down.

Dark looked all around as the light was taking up more and more of the area until only that small circle remained.

Dark was stunned, how he could be beaten by this weaker personality, the one that embraced all that idealistic nonsense the one that didn't want what he wanted.

"You just don't understand do you?" original asked.

Dark only glared at him.

"It is my feelings my hope for this world that gave me the strength I needed, and you as well showing me what I may have felt was not the correct path," original said.

"What will do? Do you think those fools will just welcome you back with open arms? Do you think the world will forgive what you have done?" Dark asked quickly.

Original looked at him, "Your right, they may not welcome me back, the world will hate my guts, but even if I have to go alone, even if I am the only one, I will stop that chairman's goal."

Dark laughed, "Utter nonsense, you can do as you wish, but try all you want deep down you will know what you did, you will know that I am and always will be apart of you, that it was your emotions that did this, your pain will start all over again, and that foolish woman that still believes in you will once again find my wrath, should I mention all the fun I had with others."

Original pushed harder down, "Unlike last time I will except what I have to do this time, as for the screwing around you did, I will take the responsibility for that and everything you did…I will except my actions from war and not run away like last time, I will not let it happen again, you on the other hand will fade into the darkness where you belong…darkness can never overshadow the light."

Dark laughed heavily, "I can read your thoughts you know…I know different, and you will not vanquish me!"

Original had enough as the blade was driven straight through as the light became very bright.

Inside the Research Lab Room

When Kira first hit the ground on his knees after that cry it was only a good two to three seconds before Lacus saw the outcome.

Lacus looked ahead as his eyes came back in, no longer empty, Lacus had her back to the door and in front of Kira so only she saw them.

Kira however then fell forward as Lacus quickly bent over and caught him.

Outside the Room

Mu knew that it was only a few seconds and that the others had no clue about what happened that his abilities could see…however he did.

Then they saw Kira fall forward and Lacus catch him.

"What in the world happened?" Cagalli was asking as this time she wanted an answer.

"Trust me, don't ask," Mu replied as some things were better left unsaid as he had no clue how to explain that as he didn't really know what happened earlier either he knew the two were going at each other but that was all he wanted to think about as this was by far the craziest day he had seen.

"Go," Mu said as the doors were opened.

Athrun and Cagalli rushed in followed by Mu.

Inside the Room

Lacus was looking down as Athrun and Cagalli entered.

"Are you alright Lacus?" Cagalli asked.

Lacus nodded her head, "I…am fine."

Athrun and Cagalli noticed something in her voice the tone was different.

"What on earth happened?" Athrun asked.

Lacus stared at them, "I saw it before he collapsed…" Lacus filled with emotions, she saw the look in his eyes and that was not the one she had saw in a very long time, it was even better then the last time.

"Saw what?" Cagalli asked.

"His eyes…they were…Kira," Lacus said looking back down.

Mu added, "She saw that they were what she remembered, they were what she missed, they were back to how they should be."

They were a little lost as Mu knew it was going to be a long night.

Lacus couldn't believe it as she didn't need Mu to explain she knew already.

Athrun and Cagalli were getting the idea as this was going to be a long night.

To be continued...
