I woke up in the familiar lava field. Just like before, I didn't sink. I saw a ripple in the lava and didn't know what to expect. A large amount of magma rose upward in the shape of an upside-down drop. It exploded instantaneously and in it's place stood a mirror image of me, except he was all white and had dark blue cat's eyes, with black where the whites would be. He held a sword that looked like an inverse copy of mine. In his eyes, I saw nothing but animalistic instinct. The urge to kill radiated from his body, more suffocating than his dark energy. He just stood there and smiled. I finally decided to raise my blade, but before it was halfway out of the sheathe, I felt a fiery pain in my arm, which was followed by numbness. I felt another horrible pain slide across my back as he slashed again. I fell to the ground, if you could call it that. My eyes slowly closed, and as they did, He kicked my gut and said, "Just as I thought, you have no strength at all." As he said that, I felt a strange power well up from me. From my mouth, I uncontrollably said, "Ban-Kai!"
Vaizard Hideout...
Lisa lay still, unable to move. She waited for the killing blow, drowning in her own blood. It never came. She suddenly heard, "Hachi, Set up a healing barrier ASAP! Lisa is in critical condition! Hurry!"
Then, her vision blurred. Shinji entered the barrier and drew his sword. As he did, a blinding light came from me as my blade changed form into a phoenix.
Inner World
"Kotei Kogerutori." In place of my blade was a flaming whip with a phoenix attached to the end of it. The man in front of me had fear in his eyes, but he didn't back down. I raised the hilt and as it condensed into the shape of a blade, I yelled, "Eien no Honoo Arechi!" The discolored clone of myself was incinerated. The fight had been won.
