AN: Well, this is the beginning of the end of this story. With David being alive, and now his powers coming to light, what will happen now that he is facing the man that killed his parents? Well, let's see, shall we?

Chapter Twenty Three: The Final Battle: David vs Izan

As David stood there, the feeling in the stadium quickly changed to that of an uncertainty. How did David survive the attack that Izan inflicted on both he and Alex? He got the worst of it sure, but how is he here, and alive to boot? Well, no one can answer that, except maybe David and either Michael or Yusuke, the latter of the two who found David in the woods.

"Okay, now that things are slowly becoming more clear, care to explain to us just what this is all about?" Kurama asked Michael and Yusuke.

"What makes you think that we would know something about this?" Michael answered.

"You two found him, so it would make sense that you would know something that we wouldn't." Hiei answered.

"Maybe, but that is all on the prince up there." Yusuke said, pointing a thumb to where Koenma and the others were sitting.

"So, care to tell us what happened?" Kurama asked.

"Koenma, what is going on?" Melody asked the prince.

"David's long dormant demon powers have come to life." Koenma answered casually.

"So, he is a demon now?" Justin asked.

"Yeah. He has been one since he was a baby." Koenma answered.

"So David didn't die, did he?" Max asked.

"No, he did, but his powers revived him." Koenma answered.

"Wait, how is something like that even possible?" Oliver asked.

"There are demons everywhere, people using magical techiques on each other, and death is the one things you are questioning?" Lilly asked him in disbelief.

"Fine, let me explain it to you." Koenma began.

Michael and Yusuke just witnessed the death of their friend and teammate David. Michael had Alex in his arms, and he was about to walk back to the room where the rest of their friends and teammates were waiting for them, Michael stopped dead in his tracks.

"What?" Yusuke asked Michael.

"Something's wrong. Something is about to happen." Michael said suddenly. He turned, and looked back at where David was lying.

"Dude, what are you talking about?" Yusuke asked him.

"I don't know, but I feel that something big is about to happen." Michael said again.

Before Yusuke could say anything, Koenma appeared, in his teenage form.

"Koenma, what are you doing here? I expected Botan to show up." Yusuke said to the prince.

"This." Koenma said. Koenma pointed at David's body, and almost on cue, David slowly rose up. Yusuke flinched, and Michael almost dropped Alex.

"What...what happened?" David asked, rubbing his head. He looked down, and saw that his clothes were torn, and there was Alex in Michael's arms.

"What happened?" David asked again.

"You were killed." Koenma said.

"But I am alive." David said in a confused tone.

"Your dorment powers revived you." Koenma explained. "Your father's demon powers were passed on to you, and now you have his powers inside of you. These are the same powers are the ones that revived you."

"What?" David said. He felt his head, and almost on cue, an eye appeared on his forehead.

"There is your Jagan eye." Koenma said. Then he quickly changed gears to the matters at hand. "David, Izan is the one responsible for what happened to you and Alex. He also killed your parents on the day that Raymond gave you those demon powers."

"So, now what are we going to do about this now?" David asked.

"We can't sit here as if nothing is going on. What are we going to tell everyone back at the room?" Yusuke asked Koenma.

"Tell them that David died." Koenma said.

"I am not lying about something like this, no way." Michael answered quickly.

"You won't be. David did die, but he came back to life now, so no worries." Koenma said.

"No worries? How are we going to do this with David being a demon on our minds?" Michael asked.

"We are going to sit out here, and train David quickly, then he is going to take out Izan. That is all." Koenma said.

Michael and Yusuke looked at each other, and shrugged. It was a plan, albeit an 'at the last moment' plan. Now all they had to do was execute it.

Will it be, that is the question.

Koenma took a deep breath, and stood from his seat, and began to walk.

"Where are you going?" Melody asked.

"To ringside. This is going to get very interesting. I suggest that you come as well." Koenma said.

Koenma was gone, and the rest that were in the room with him decided that it would be in their best interest to follow.

Izan stood there, looking at David. Needless to say, before the transformation to Demon, David would not have stood a chance against Izan, but now? David looked as though he was going to kill evreyone in the stadium, just to get to Izan.

"Well, young demon, I take it that you know that I am the one that took your parent from you." Izan said.

"Yeah, I know that you killed my mom and dad. I witnessed it." David growled.

"Such a simple little boy." Izan said, laughing. "There is so much that you don't know about the things that lead up to your parent murder."

"Like what?" David asked.

"I'll tell you. If you can beat me." Izan said, getting into a fighting stance.

David just shrugged, and got into his own fighting stance, and then charged directly at him.

"Something's wrong here." Koenma said.

"Like what?" Michael asked the prince.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that we are going to need to be able to get out of here at a moment's notice." Koenma said.

"Right." Michael said.

"Well, it seems that we are at a stalemate." Izan said. "Something is going to have to break the stalemate, and I have something that can do that."

"Really? Show me." David said.

Izan smiled, and he outstretched his arms, causing the overcast sky above them to change from a grey color to a red and black one.

"Now see the power of the Demon Moon!" Izan screamed.

Oddly enough, David smiled.

Wrong move, you fool. Wrong move...
