Hey, I know it's a little early for the next chapter, but I felt like writing it anyways, ha! anyways, here we go, I'm gonna start when Kirox leaves lykas in the DAO camp and go from there, ALRIGHT! LET'S DO THIS, LEEEEEROOOOY JEEENKIIIIINS!
Lykas is sitting by the camp fire, pondering upon his past, him having thought about it almost constantly, him looking up when one of the others taps his shoulder, saying, " alright, my turn to keep watch, go ahead." lykas moves to a darker corner of the camp, settling down as he nods off, his dreams drifting back to that strange place, him having wondered about it constantly, and soon he is standing upon the platform once more, but this time, it seems more real...his body this time coated in blood, and not the blood he's used to anymore, but the blood of the darkspawn, the voice lifts up and lykas' dream translates it, because the author is too lazy at the moment to do the ancient thingie, "'tis time, Lykas, to test your willpower, your to fight yourself." lykas blinks and looks around, then a yell echoes from his mouth as the darkspawn blood forcefully rips itself from his skin, forming into a darkspawn version of himself, but with small differences, as a hundred small shadows move to converge on this darkspawn, granting it greater power, it soon standing tall, holding a strange blade to lykas, him not able to make it completely out, but it is covered in the blood of darkspawn, the shadows covering it as well, lykas curses and reaches for his blade which is normally on his back, and finds it gone, him completely unarmed against this new beast, and now is forced to fight it as he is. Lykas moves to stand straight upright, taking a small razor from his pocket, the very same razor that granted him his powers by granting him the cut to cast the ritual, he moves to slice open his palms with it, chanting deeply, his book not there either, but his mind having memorized it, starts chanting as blood flows from his hands, the beast doing exactly the same, but instead of blood, it is darkness, pure darkness, lykas moves to form his blood into a whip, not touching it, and yet he whips it around, slicing at the darkness of the beast, slicing away as much as possible before revealing the darkspawn within, him cursing as it moves to absorb the darkness surrounding it, moving from being a massive beast, to a single form of same height, growling and snarling ferally at lykas, the blade upon his back resembling his a katana, but darker and thinner, as if a deep black, made of pure darkness. lykas growls and moves to lunge at the beast, his fits coated in blood hardened into a diamond strength, and yet liquid under the surface to protect his hands from being harmed by the force of the strength he is using, his hand slams into the beast's hand, the beast grabbing his fist and tossing him behind him, lykas moving to whip a stream of blood at the hilt of the blade, wincing as the darkness soaking the blade surges up the blood whip, soon filling his veins, the beast smirking and laughing at lykas as he kneels upon the ground, fighting off the surging darkness, soon his eyes start glowing a deeper crimson, his face starting to extend outwards, his heart fading almost forcefully, as the beast smiles, lykas soon a being of darkness himself, the monster blinking as the feral lykas, his body shifting from human to almost complete werewolf, moving to tear apart the beast, grabbing it's heart within it's chest and rips it from it's body, the hole in his chest absorbing it, him kneeling down as the darkness soaks into his stolen heart, him gasping as his form receeds, the blade in front of him shifting, moving from a darkened shape to a familiar shape, it a blade similar to what Kirox wielded, but different, mutated from the darkspawn taint that had carried it, and the darkness that had consumed it, lykas picks it up, and says, " you are a bloodied and darkened version of fenrir...I shall call you Blackened Blood!" him picking it up, it feeling...right in his hands, him soon examining it, noticing the key is sharper, the grooves smaller, and the small keychain at the end looked like a werewolf with blood leaking from it's mouth, and it was black, with darkness writhing from it, lykas nods as he moves to de-summon it, instinctively squeezing it, and then soon he finds his blade gone, replaced by the blade of darkness that has now affected him, his body now part darkness itself, and he is a heartless with a stolen heart, him moving to kneel as he says, " blade, I know that you are alive, I cannot carry you and my true ceremonial blade at once.." the blade has a yellow, wolf-eye open and says," FOOL! I AM YOUR CEREMONIAL BLADE! I CONTAIN THE DARKNESS, INCREASING THE POWER, AND CAN POISON YOUR ENEMIES FROM WITHIN, YOU JUST NEED TO SUMMON ME!" lykas blinks as he says, " then I shall call you Darkened Heart!" him shifting as he lifts it, and the darkness slips through the hilt as the blade increases in size, soon the shape and size of the original blade, lykas shivers as the voice speaks up again, " you are now stronger, you've learned to tap your alternate form, you must learn to control it, for if you do not, then your taste for blood shall consume you...now enter the doorway, and all that you've gained, you shall retain.." lykas approaching the doorway, writhing in darkness as lykas enters, shivering as the strange new heart beats within his chest. Lykas looks up, snapping awake as he hears a the crunch of a twig being stepped on, him standing as he instinctively becomes alert, and before he realizes, his new keyblade Blackened Blood appears within his hand, him looking down at the blade, the hilt containing a dual blade so that he may slice his hands without ever leaving the hilt, him looking around as heartless surround the camp, kirox is gone and he curses, moving to instinctively follow the book's instructions, recognizing his new blade and already understanding how to apply special spells and effects to it, lykas moves to kneel, his key facing the ground as he starts chanting, and before long, a massive blood-tsunami soaking from the blood of the darkspawn attacking, explodes from his body, the darkspawn explode upon impact, the heartless all splattering into the whisps of darkness, but before long, a large heartless appears, similar to the one he was facing in his dream, he says," DAMN! but this time, I'm ready..." lykas moves to lift his blade, his anger coming to fruition as the blade disappears and his anger reaches it's exploding point, the darkness of the darkspawn heart soaks him, his body exploding into the form of a werewolf, him leaping upon the beast, everyone just staring it awe, including Lunaviere, who is terrified at this, and promises herself to never reveal this truth to Kirox, for fear of his attacking, Lykas soon is within the heart of the beast itself, his hands and arms forcing into the darkness, him growling as his gutteral words say, " you are now an extension of me, for now beast, I control you, and I shall end your miserable life." lykas forcing the beast to reach up to it's head, and grip it, grabbing it and starts pulling, growling as the beast's own strength soon rips it's head off, causing darkness to splurt all over the place, soaking almost everyone before disappearing into mist, lykas soaking the corpse into his body to fuel his darkened heart, and as the corpse hits the ground, it soaks him, disappearing into mist save for that upon his body, soaking into his skin forcefully, him soon standing up, human once more, or in appearance anyways, him shivering as he says, "sorry about that.." everyone gaping as he just took out an entire army of combined heartless and darkspawn, him dusting himself off as he says," what?" him blinking as a small box attached to the opposite side of the book starts beeping, saying, " hmm, it appears my ship is damaged, and I now know where it's at, but first thing's first...kirox needs to know he has another keyblade on hand for the moment.." lykas moves towards the direction of kirox, running up and says, "Hey Kirox, guess what!" Lykas told him. "What, Lykas?" Kirox asked. "I got a Keyblade!" he told him, summoning it, and before long, Kirox visibly shivers, but lykas won't mention it, lykas then says, " alright, I'm going back to camp, I'll see you later." and before long, lykas had been out in a field, he summoned Blackened Blood and tosses it up instinctually, it coming down and lykas finds himself in a strange suit of armor, it completely black, with red parts, and his visor is completely black, but in the mirror within the ship, he can see the glow of his eyes through the blackened visor, him nodding as he sits in the ships pilot and says, " already, here we go..." him guiding the ship up towards the stars, heading to his ship.
