Pyro decides to take a break from his Tails hunting for the main reason that his job as the pizza guy calls for him and he can't refuse. He head in the direction of his work on a usually clear route when he sees something or someone in the distance. Whatever it is, it is hidden in the shadows. As he is almost 3 meters from it he discovers that it is indeed what he had hoped it wouldn't be; Dark Krane. Dark Krane is mostly blue with a white chest, mouth, and on the tip of his tail. His eyes are a crystal blue. His ears are small and round and his nose is grey. His hair style is very similar to tails and he wears a large, black cult-like robe with a symbol of a setting, blood red sun. His shoes are very plain and he also wears a pair of gloves that covers a small symbol on his right palm.

The look in Dark Krane's eye showed Pyro that there was going to be one heck of a fight. He quickly readied himself. His lighter unfortunately had ran out of fluid during his fight with Tails. This meant that he would not have his flame to help him in the oncoming battle. Another thing that worried Pyro was that his gun was also empty. Krane's magic wasn't wasted though and Pyro knew it. This was gonna be one heck of a fight for him and his chances of surviving where not good at all. They stared at each other for a few minutes both readying themselves for the duel. The staring lasted for only a few seconds but to Pyro it felt like hours.

Krane then made the first move and Pyro had only fractions of a second to counter the blow. Krane began the duel with an amazing, almost gravity-defying, spinning kick that Pyro just barely had time enough to duck .Even with his fast reaction, Krane still hit the top of Pyro's head but only enough to make him try to be quicker. Pyro sent a fast double punch and though the first missed; the second hit him squarely in the chest Dark Krane didn't even seemed phased by the blow and before Pyro could pull his arm back Dark Krane grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm behind his back. A growl could be heard from the lips of Pyro as he refused to scream Pyro quickly throws the back of his head into the skull of Dark Krane. Luckily the blow was enough to loosen Dark Krane's grip and allow Pyro to break free. Pyro rubbed his throbbing wrist with his left hand for a moment. Then returned to the battle at hand.

A little shaken from the blow to his head, Krane recovers himself, but gets furiously mad that the battle was lasting this long. In his mind it was going to be easy but he had underestimated Pyro greatly and this, he thought to himself, would not happen again. Krane decides not yet to use magic as he thought it would be fun to play around with Pyro a little longer. He ran at Pyro and used a complex series of blows varying from punches to spinning and jumping kicks all thrown together so fast it would be almost impossible to block every move. Pyro was stunned at first by the blast of moves at first but blocked the majority of them. The ones he didn't block pained him like nothing before. He could not show his pain though for then Krane would get to him worse than ever before and this Pyro knew greatly from past experiences. Pyro began his own fury of punches and kicks. Dark Krane dodged most of them with ease though a few had landed.

Dark Krane was not much for the change of events. So he decided to start using some of his lower incantations and spells. From his hand a large orb of ice appeared and he launched it at the fox. Pyro dodged the orb just barely. Pyro had to think fast if he wanted to make it out alive. Then an idea hit him. A new strategy had formed in Pyro's mind. It involved a short series of punches, a few kicks, and then a sweeping blow to Kranes legs, sweeping into his left leg first. He started working into his plan immediately starting with two kicks, then a punch, then another kick, 2 more punches then his sweeping blow. It worked surprisingly much better than he had anticipated. Dark Krane was stunned he managed to block off a couple blows, but the sweeping blow landed. The blow didn't much bother him it was his left leg. In childhood he had an accident that weakened his leg. The fury of the blow sent a howl of pain from Dark Krane. His leg now felt weak and he wasn't even sure if he could stand up again. Pyro smirked he had found the flaw of his enemy and it was one that easily could be used to his advantage. While Krane was still on the ground attempting to stand again Pyro fiercely reached his leg back and sent a bone shattering kick into Krane's left leg. The howl of pain could be heard from afar. Pyro seemed to find humor in the pain so he reached back and went in for another kick.

Dark Krane POV

I couldn't hold back the scream as that wretched three-tailed fox slammed his foot into my weak leg. As it made contact I could feel the bone in my leg shatter though I know not which one broke. Two things were racing through my mind. The first was my despise for my flawed mortal body. The second thing was hatred for the fox who laughed at my pain and wished nothing more then for me to suffer. That's when I heard her again. " Krane, my love why do you let the fox hurt you so?" I answered the best way I could "He found out about my weak leg. I am only failing due to a mortal weakness." At that I could hear the cruel psychotic laughter of Rachiel and it filled me with a passion for her. Her cruel words also fulled my lust "He may have found one of your mortal weaknesses, but I Krane have found his spiritual weakness. Krane he hates to remember. If you desire your life make the fox remember it is your only chance." With that Rachiel left me again.

Author POV

A grim smile came upon Krane's face. A knowing smile. As Pyro saw it he felt afraid because this was not suppose to be happening. He was in mid kick but stopped and started backing away as Krane said these words,"Gedächtnisse vom letzten werden von nahen vergessen und gekommen, um Sie zu frequentieren dennoch wieder geweckt!" The words passed through Pyro's ears and his eyes became heavy. His heart sped up and the world became a blur then quietly Pyro fell to the earth

Flashback

A young Pyro was sitting alone it was night time or at least real late. His brother Greg had noticed he was worried and came to sit beside him. Pyro glanced to his brother then back to the stars where all the wonders of the world happened back then. His brother said in his usually serious yet somewhat jokingly manner. " You have been having the weird feelings to haven't you?" Pyro was stunned a bit he thought he was hiding his troubles well. He decided he could trust his brother though so he told Greg " Yes, they won't leave me I know something bad is about to happen." Greg then used some of his own wisdom and told his brother " If something bad is to happen then it will there is nothing you can do to stop so don't let it worry you so much." Pyro looks up knowing that his brother is right and then they both head out to go play.

Time shifts forwards and Pyro is running through the woods screaming " Greg! Greg! Where are you?" Searching frantically. As he is running he trips and falls into a pile of mud. The red patches of fur on his mouth and chest where now covered in mud and his nice black fur was soaked and muddy. He wasn't done looking yet though he kept running screaming his brothers name running into the darkness of the forest.

Then time shifts once more he is no longer covered in mud and his eyes are staring hopefully into his mothers, but quickly drop once he notices the look on her face. She always cut to the chase and hated talking in circles so she said only this. "I'm sorry"

Reality

Pyro lies quivering on the ground as Krane is laughing over top of him. Pyro feels week mentally to do his flashback and is in no condition or want to fight so Krane has a great advantage over him in spite of his injured leg. Now fully confident he will defeat his foe Krane watches Pyro for a little while longer. The wait was too long though for Pyro was recovering and just as Krane was about to kick him, Pyro rolled over avoiding the near clash and jumped up on his feet ready to battle although a little weaker than a few moments before.

Krane knew that despite the way it appeared Pyro was weak at the moment and his reaction time would be pathetic so he jumped upon his enemy and bit into his arm just to taste the sweet warm blood that would be his meal in only a few moments. Pyro was too stunned to feel the pain or even react. Krane's prediction was right. Krane quickly jumped off before Pyro could regain himself then licked his teeth as they had traces of Pyro's blood on them. He then went in again this time clutching his teeth tightly around Pyro's neck. Pyro fell to the ground and Krane stayed clutched to his teeth. At this point Pyro didn't care if he died so sat back awaiting death.

Dark Krane POV

As I sank my fangs into his flesh I could taste the warm blood flowing across my lips and it was refreshing. He fell to the ground which made me have an even better grip so I sank even further, Then I noticed how he refused to struggle which meant that he had given up. I guess this was good though I missed the sound of a frantic struggle as people hopelessly tried to save their pathetic lives. As I was enjoying my soon to be kill I heard her

" Stop!" I was puzzled and thought back " Why I beat him he is mine." She was quick to respond " He has a purpose that is yet to be fulfilled as do you. Now let him be or I shall kill you myself." I became angered and yelled to her " Come down here and try." She laughed coldly and said " Why go down there when I can kill you from here." As she said this I felt an intense wave of electricity or something similar rushing through my body. My grip on Pyro's neck loosened and I fell to the ground panting heavily. " Alright I am going, but only cause you asked nicely. I then took off leaving the fox in a trail of dust.
