"Icthior!" Doggie called out.

He was at the park. He was ready to fight to the death for Kat, but he knew something that Icthior didn't. He had Damien with him. He was his 'shadow'.

"Doggie!" Icthior exclaimed, "You listened!"

"I have come for Kat." Doggie said.

"Yea, yea. She's not here. We have to go get her." Icthior gave him a devilish smile, "Let's go. Follow me."

They walked to an abandoned building.

"She's in there." He said as he pointed at the building.

Doggie ran into the building. Icthior was right, Kat was inside. She was back in the hallway in the last room.

"Kat!" He yelled. Damien appeared.

"Mom!" Damien yelled as he ran over to untie his mother.

"It's a trap!" she said as soon as Damien removed the tape over her mouth.

There was a loud *bang* sound. Doggie looked out into the hallway to see that it was coming down.

"Hurry up!" Doggie growled as he morphed.

"S.P.D Emergency!" he yelled.

He turned into Shadow Ranger, and Kat was untied.

"Let's go." He said.

They ran out into the hallway. There was debris falling from the ceiling.

"Careful." Damien said.

They got to the steps, and Damien was pushed.

"Woah!" he said as he hit the ground. "What the- Mom!" he yelled.

Kat pushed him out of the way because a big beam had fallen, it landed on her. Damien pulled the beam off of her with supernatural strength.

"Mom. Mom. Come on! Get up!" He said. Kat was unresponsive.

"Get out now!" Cruger growled. He picked up Kat and threw Damien out of the door.

When they got out, the building collapsed for good. Icthior appeared in front of them.

"That's not fair Doggie, you've brought a friend. I said come alone." Icthior said.

"You're going to pay for this." Damien said. He stood up and lifted his hand.

Icthior began to struggle for air.

"I told you that you were going to die a slow and painful death." Damien growled.

He flicked his hand to the left, and Icthior was thrown left. Damien continued to do this for about five minutes before he dropped him and walked toward him.

"How can-"he was cut off by Damien

"How can I do this? It's simple, I control the darkness, and there's darkness inside the body," Damien explained, "Just as well as there's darkness in the mind!" He yelled.

Damien's eyes grew black. He lifted his hands towards Icthior's head. He had entered his mind.

XxX

Icthior was standing on a field, but it suddenly caught on fire. "Ocean Saber!" he cried. But his sword never appeared.

"This is my world, and in here I am in control!" Damien yelled as he appeared out of nowhere.

He kicked Icthior in the head.

"Now any last words before you die?" Damien asked.

"Yea, what would Kat do if you killed me? Hum? She hates killing." Icthior said.

Damien thought about it.

"Yea, you're right," Damien said, Icthior let out a sigh of relief, "But you're still going down."

Damien's hands grew a black mist around them. He punched Icthior in the stomach. Icthior cried out in pain.

"Nighty night." Damien said.

Icthior fell to the ground, unconscious.

XxX

The battle in Icthior's mind took less than a minute. Icthior fell over.

"What did you do to him?" Cruger asked.

"Nothing Cruger. I knocked him out." Damien snapped, "Contain him so we can get mom some help."

Cruger did as he was told.

"Containment!" Cruger yelled. Icthior was contained and they took Kat to the infirmary.

XxX

"Is she going to be okay Felix?" Cruger asked.

"Yes. Whatever she got hit with just knocked her out." Felix said.

He left the room.

Damien was sitting in the chair next to his mother.

"Damien-"Cruger was cut short of his sentence.

"No, you listen here Cruger. I don't want to hear 'I'm sorry' or any other of your petty bullshit. It's YOUR fault Mom's like this. In fact, if it wasn't that she cared for you, I think I would have killed you. But I'M not going to hurt her. I'm warning you now Cruger, if anything happens to my mother because of your stupidity, you'll regret it." Damien said.

Cruger stood there in shock. He thinks I'M responsible for this?

"Now wait a minute! It's not MY fault!" Cruger snapped.

"Oh really? You don't see MY archenemy talking her do you? No. Don't think so. YOU'RE putting her in danger. I know she won't leave here, so while she's here, I'm going to protect her. From EVERYONE if I have to." He said.

"Uh" they turned to see that Kat was coming around.

"Mom!" Damien exclaimed

"Stop yelling." Kat said. She had a headache, a big headache.

"Sorry." Damien said softly.

"How are you feeling Kat?" Cruger asked.

Damien gave him a glare.

"Okay. What time is it?" She asked.

"It's like two o'clock. Why?" Cruger said.

"Oh my Gawd!" Kat exclaimed as she jumped up out of the bed, "I've forgot to meet Bridge in the lab!" She said.

Cruger couldn't help but laugh.

"Kat, calm down. Do you remember anything?" Cruger asked.

"I was kidnapped, you two saved me, then waking up in here. What happened to Icthior?" Kat asked.

"I took care of him." Damien said in a low voice.

"Oh. Well I've gotta go. I'll see you guys later." Kat said as she ran down to the lab.

Damien gave Cruger one last glare before leaving.

Well that's just great. Damien won't let me get close to Kat. Even when I need to tell her something that I've been wanting to tell her for a while now. I'll find a way to tell her, that I love her. Cruger thought.
