Hello people I hope you enjoy reading this. Please keep ignoring the grammar errors and try to enjoy. You know what I own and don't own.

( Awakening and meetings)

( Between the realm of "The World")

Everything in New Moon Castle was quiet. The mistress of this castle hasn't given a mission in a while and it was driving Dark insane. Usually he kept it cool to give other the impression that he was calm and very much alike like Tsukasa. He actually is like Tsukasa but he always crave a little adventure once in a while. When he was bored he nagged the whole time and , unfortunately for him, Shadow was the one that got nagged on.

" Man I'm bored today! There hasn't been a single mission in days! And we already train the new recruits to the point where they can fight for themselves. Even the news about how hectic the outside world is has gotten to the point that is no longer amusing! What else is there to do!" Dark nagged.

" Huh! Listen Dark as much as I 'Love' to hear you complain all day and I really do" he was being sarcastic the whole time " but unless the mistress gives a mission, well theres simply nothing to do but wait." Shadow said while reading a book. He was different from the old Kite. The old one was hyper active, headstrong and love to play video games while Shadow was calm, think things through, and read books.

" Man this bites! And whats up with you and that book! What are you reading?!" Dark said in an annoyed voice.

" None of your business." Shadow replied.

Dark smirked mischievously " Are you reading porn?" he asked feigning innocence. However as soon as the question was asked he got hit in the back of his head with said book " Hey! That hurts!" he pouted.

" Thats what you get!" Shadow said looking like he was about to pop a vein.

" Chill! Besides I prefer guys, remember." Dark said grinning.

" Yeah, yeah. Hey! Does that means you have the hots for me?! You perv!" he said feigning shock and disgust.

" What?! No! I would never see you that way." Dark said playing along. " Although...." he duck to doge a hit " HA! Missed me!" but this time he was hit by the book's backside "OW!"

Shadow chuckle and resume reading.

Suddenly an idea pop into Dark's head " Hey why don't we go a have a little fun for ourselves! That would be fun!".

At this point Shadow's eyes left the book to look at his companion " What do you have in mind this time?" he asked suspiciously.

" Well lets cook up trouble for the Twilight Knight and play games with them. You know, giving them false information, summoning monster for they to battle, and such! What do you say Shadow!" he said getting excited.

" Count me out. I have no intention on joining your little game." Shadow quickly declined.

" Aaww! Why not?" Dark whined.

" Because last time I got slammed into a mountain witch later crumble and the pieces fell on me, Crushing me! And, by reason I don't understand, a meteor fell, out of nowhere might I add, right on the spot where I was squash! I don't know how I was able to get up after that"

"Please!"

"No"

" Please"

"No"

At that moment Cubia walked up to the two " Hey guys, whats up?" Cubia was quiet most of the time he spend with the group, but he always hung around with somebody.

" I'm trying to convince Shadow to come with me and have fun and cook trouble for the Twilight Knights, wanna come?" Dark replied.

" Sure!" he said smirking liking the idea.

" Great! Shadow?" Dark said gazing at Kite's lookalike.

" I said no." he replied.

" Please" said both Dark and Cubia.

" No"

" Please!"

" No!"

Elk enter the chamber to see the duo trying to convince their leader to do something " Um...Whats going on here?"Elk said looking at the lookalike. For a time Shadow has become like Mia to Elk and the Wavemaster always hung around him. Dark told Elk the same thing he told Cubia, but Elk seemed reluctant " I don't know. Seeing Kite again might not be a good idea."

" Come on Elk its just to bug them. Besides I think a little payback wouldn't hurt." Dark reasoned.

"Yeah!" Cubia seconded that.

" Well, Ok. If Shadow come with us." Elk said.

" I said no" Shadow seemed to be loosing the fight.

" Please" Now the three of them said in unison.

" No!"

"Please"

" I said no! Dark I will not be......" Shadow turned his back at the group but at this point Dark had gather the attention of the other two while Shadow complained.

" Watch this!" he said grinning.

" and further more...." Shadow was cut off.

" Oh Shadow" he said in a sing along voice.

" I said no Dark and.......your doing the puppy face of doom, aren't you?" he said sighing defeated.

" Noooo" Dark responded.

Shadow slowly turned around to look at the other and his fear were realized " Aw men! Not the puppy face! Grrrrr. Fine! I'll go but if something happens to me its on your hide!"

" Sure thing Shadow!" Dark replied grinning victoriously. His puppy faces were a sure way to get Shadow to do things with him.

" Yeah!" the other two cheered while Shadow grumble something.

" Alright time to set up the stage!" Dark said smirking.

(The real world: with Kite)

Kite has been exhausted for days trying to figure out where the remaining treasures could be and a way to bring Elk back, so far nothing. Haseo has been training him to summoned his avatar, which he now can summoned freely, and gave him tips as to using his powers. Everything has been quiet for a while and he was getting annoyed. Everything he tried to do ends up in a failure. He was checking his e-mails when suddenly a new one appeared. Kite curious decided to open I and see what information it had. He read the following message:

' I got information about the to guys that looks like you and Tsukasa. Also I know how to bring Elk back to his original self. If you want to know the information come to ( Omega) Deceiveful Dark Paradise. Go to the farthest part of the field and meet me there. I want to see something about you guys too, so bring Tsukasa along and whoever else you wish to. Come at noon.'

Kite re-read the message and couldn't believe it. Someone knew about his and Tsukasa's lookalikes and knew how to bring Elk back. " But there is also the probability it could be a trap" he frown at the thought " But I must take the risk. Maybe just maybe I can find Elk and apologies to the guy" with that set he contact Tsukasa telling him to meet him at Mac Anu and to bring someone along. He insert his password and username and logged in.

(Mac Anu)

Kite waited patiently for Tsukasa to arrive. It was almost noon and he got restless. Finally Tsukasa arrived at the town along side Subaru and headed towards Kite direction. " So, whats so urgent for you to actually send me an e-mail to meet you here?" Kite explain what he read on his e-mail to the two.

" Thats great not only we'll find information on your lookalikes but we can finally wake Elk up" Subaru said excited about the good news.

"But.." Kite added " It can also be a trap to lure us in. So we need to be extra careful when we get to the field. Are you guys ready to go?". The two simply nodded and headed to the right town to log in the area.

( (Omega) Deceiveful Dark Paradise)

The gang arrived at the field only to see all the monsters had been killed. They lay motionless on the ground and their colors had faded making them look grey. Subaru gasp putting her hands on her mouth, eyes wide open. Tsukasa and Kite frown at the site.

" What happen to them?" Subaru asked. Seconds later all the monster that lay on the ground vanish.

"Its the same as that other field. Some one has killed all the monster in the area." Kite said to the group.

" I guess the guy that wanted to meet us didn't want any interruptions. We better be careful." Tsukasa added. The trio went to their destination at the other side of the field.

Meanwhile up in a mountain top at the meeting place Shadow, Dark, Elk, and Cubia waited patiently for the group to arrived.

" So why did you tell us to eliminate the monsters?" Cubia asked intrigued at to the black Wavemaster intentions.

" I didn't want any interruptions when the two subjects arrived at the meeting place." Dark said as if was the simplest thing in the world.

" But why?" Elk added to the questions.

"Sheesh! You two ask a lot of questions! I just want to see something and I want you guys to see it too."

" See what?" the other two ask in unison.

Dark simply smiled at the two " You'll see if I'm right."

Shadow looked at him " Well aren't you full of surprises!" he said amused.

" Hehe. I know." was all he said.

Kite, Tsukasa, and Subaru made their way to the meeting place to see it empty. They waited patiently for their sponsor to meet them there. Unknown to the trio Dark stood watching them from the top of the mountain.

" Hey isn't that......?" Elk started to say.

"...Kite" Cubia finish. His hands where fisted and he was shaking. All of a sudden lines appeared around his body making him glow.

" Don't even think about it Cubia. Remember we are here to watch, not make our presences known" Dark told Cubia. Cubia calmed down and the glow faded, he was confuse a to Dark intentions.

" Then what....?" Cubia started.

" Just watch. Lets see if Dark's theory is true." Shadow said..

Dark watch at the unsuspecting group and smirk " And here we go" he tap the floor with his staff once and it began. Kite and company waited but seeing that nothing happen where about to leave when a screech stop them. They look at the sky and saw a horde of giant trolls with bat wing hurling at their direction.

"Damn! Its a trap!" Kite said getting angry. He really was hoping it wasn't.

" No surprise there. Lets just eliminate these things" Tsukasa said annoyed.

They all pull out there weapons and lunch at the monsters. They battle them for a while only to see that it was doing little damage to them. " I see. I guess I have to summoned my avatar then" ' You ready you good for nothing dragon' Kite thought ' Yeah, yeah lets get this over with!' Cubia said boredly. Around Kites body appeared red lines and he glowed. The light grew to such extend that Subaru and Tsukasa covered their eyes. It was the same thing like before except that they where different person.

Subaru only saw Kite flying as for Tsukasa, he saw the humanoid dragon before them. ' Kite! What are you?' Tsukasa thought stunned.

The monster where not faced by the avatar and simply launch at him. Cubia Omega summoned a sword from its fire and charged at them. The monster weren't thought but there where too many of them. When one die many appeared in his place. Kite simply slash at them while Tsukasa and Subaru tried to help from behind. A group of winged trolls bypassed Kite's avatar and headed strait for Subaru.

She looked stunned and Tsukasa was to far from her to reach her in time. But he ran in her direction ' No! I'm not going to make it!' he ran toward her not noticing the blue lines that appeared around his body. ' I won't loose my friends again!' " Subaru!" he cried out and the lines light shone brightly. The monster that tried to attack Subaru had been destroyed. Subaru, who had her eyes shot, open them to see what happened and her eye widen. Tsukasa looked at himself and notice he was huge. Like Kite's avatar his was shape like a knight, his helmet was shape like the head of a wolf, he had huge metallic gloves with huge claws at the end of them, and instead of wings he had a cape that was divided in six section, each representing different elements: lighting, fire, water, darkness,wind, and earth. His body color was blue and so where his eyes. ' Woah! Didn't see that coming!' Tsukasa thought.

"Tsukasa! You can fly!" Subaru said.

"What?! Subaru can't you see...." Tsukasa started but was cut by Kite.

" No, apparently not. So use those sharp claws and help me!" Kite told him. Tsukasa focus at what was at hand and slash at the monsters. Even with Tsukasa's avatar the monsters weren't diminishing. The horde of winged trolls kept coming at them.

" Dammit! Why aren't they lessening" Kite said annoyed.

" Can we even win?" Tsukasa said slashing at some monsters.

Dark and the other two watch the fight from behind. Cubia and Elk had wide eyes, they could see the two avatars fighting the hordes of monsters. They kept staring lost in thought until Dark snap them out of it " Well I guess thats enough!" Dark said while he tap the floor with his staff. Suddenly all the monsters disintegrate in thin air.

" Well lets get out of here before our presence are known" Dark said while walking away.

" You....You knew this would happen! Didn't you!" Cubia said.

Dark simply chuckled " No...but I had a feeling it would"

" Clever little sneak aren't ya?" Shadow said. Dark simply grin back. With that Shadow, Cubia and Dark teleported out of the field. Elk stayed behind watching the group. He heard their conversation.

" What happened?" Subaru said.

"They all just....vanish" Tsukasa said after he return to normal. Witch Subaru didn't even notice.

" Dammit all! We came here looking for clues and look at what......." Kite sentence came to a stop once he laid eyes on something. Tsukasa and Subaru where confused as to the sudden stop. Kite had wide eyes and only said one thing "...Elk". Tsukasa and Subaru look at where Kite was staring at and their eyes went wide. It was indeed Elk but his clothing where different but it was still him. "Elk!" Kite shouted at his missing friend. Elk simply look at them with remorse before a wind gale surrounded him. " NO! Please wait!" Kite shouted but it was to late, Elk was gone once again.

Tsukasa and Subaru felt sorry for Kite " ..Kite" Tsukasa was trying to find the right words to it but once he reach Kite he saw him smiling softly. "Kite?" Tsukasa ask confused.

" Well at least we know his mind is still here somewhere . Next time we'll get him back for sure" Kite said determination evident in his voice.

Tsukasa smiled " Yeah. We will. Lets head back for now." With that they gated out of the area.

( New Moon Castle)

Elk was heading back to the castle after the short encounter with Kite. He wasn't sure what he was feeling right now. 'Kite seemed almost happy to see me' he thought to himself ' But that can't be. He hates me.' He frown at this point. While passing he didn't notice he was passing another figure " So! You couldn't resist showing yourself to Kite, huh?"

Elk jump as the voice has startle him " Shadow! H-how did you..?"

"Know? I have a mirror in my room that shows me something about 'The World' and since you didn't come back with us I got curious." Shadow said shrugging.

" A-Are you m-mad at m-me" Elk was terrified, he couldn't handle that the one that had save him would hate him.

" No, just curious. Why did you do it then?" Shadow asked looking at Elk.

Elk looked at the floor " I wanted him to see me. That I haven't given up because of him. But..." Shadow was listening carefully " But he looked happy to see. Like he was glad to see that I was ok. Well sort of. I'm so confused.".

Shadow sighted and walk toward Elk " Elk I need you to know that we are here for you." 'Man! Thats so cheesy of me to say!' Shadow thought " But I must know where your loyalty lies. With us or with Kite?"

Elk frown clearly thinking before answering " My loyalty toward Kite died the moment he broke me."

Shadow looked at Elk " You were never broken. You are just simply wounded."

Elk looked up and smiled at Shadow " A wound that you healed. Along with the others of course. You are my new family now"

Shadow chuckle " Yeah. Now go on and rest. You'll need your energy. I'll be there soon." Elk nodded and ran off. Shadow sighted " How frustrating. He still is willing to give Kite a chance. Well that something I must fix or else all of this could backfire. I need to think." he walk off to an unknown destination.

(Between the realms of "The World": White Room)

Aura has been contemplating on the feeling she had a few days a go. It was still bothering her. She had to talk to Kite about it.

" A. Balmung go and send a message to Kite. Tell him it is time for us to meet once again." A. Balmung nodded. A. Kite was outside listening and he was shacking with anger.

" It will be done my lady" A. Balmung said.

" Oh! And keep A. Kite busy during our conversation. I don't want him to be here when he arrives" once again A. Balmung nodded and went to deliver the message.

A. Kite was now stunned and sad. Aura didn't want him there when 'He' arrived. He decided to just go and visit a random area to clear his mind. And that is what he did.

( Random Area)

Azure Kite arrived at an random area. It was raining hard and he notice that the field was empty. All the monsters where gone and that struck him as strange. He shrugged. He floated around the field to find a spot to think. Moments later he saw another figure sitting on a boulder and stop on his tracks. It was Kite's lookalike and he appeared to be in deep thought and haven't notice his presence yet. Azure Kite narrow his eyes and summoned his blades and got ready to strike.

" I wouldn't do that if I where you" Shadow said calmly without looking at him.

" Oh? And why not? " A. Kite asked amused.

" For one it would be a waste of time because I would win hands down. Beside I came here to think not to fight,A.I." he said still not looking at him.

" Fine then. I want to know, why do you look like me?" this got Shadow's interest and turn his head to look at the A.I. Indeed they look similar to each other.

" Well this is interesting" he off the boulder and walk toward the A.I. " You must be Azure Kite, a night of Aura" he said amused.

" So you know me, mind telling me who are you?" Azure Kite said eying him suspiciously but still not making any sudden movement. One wrong move and he would be deleted, that was for sure.

" Not at all. My name is Shadow Kite leader of the Shadow Knights, go figures huh?" he said shrugging

" So you are part of the other organization thats been causing trouble in "The World"" he said now preparing to fight.

Shadow sighted " I'm not here to fight as I said before. So be on your way. I have thing to think about." He turn to sit back in the boulder when A. Kite spoke again.

" Can't do that. If I can't get rid of Kite then I might as well try to defeat you. That way she will notice me."

Shadow chuckled before looking back at him " You know if you do your life will end right here. I find it amusing your willing to give your life away. Why do you want to throw it away? Even if it is an artificial life its still a life. But more importantly, why do you even bother with her? When she sees you she'll only see Kite. Thats why she made you in his image. What other reason could there be?"

"SHUT UP!" A. Kite was grinding his teeth " Thats not true! I refuse to be just a copy!"

Shadow looked at the other right on the eyes "Then why don't you leave her." They were both the same height, but the difference be in the one that looks like a scarecrow.

" Huh?" A. Kite was taken back.

" I said, why don't you leave her? I think your more than capable on being on your own." Shadow replied.

" I can't do that!" A. Kite asked incredulously.

Shadow Kite rolled his eyes " You said you wanted to eliminate Kite. Well what would happened if you fail?" A. Kite was silent but stared at him intenly. " Not only would you have failed but Aura would be disappointed at you for your actions. And even if you did defeat him Aura would more than displease at you, she would be angry at you. Maybe even have you deleted. Every way I see it its a loose/loose situation. "

A. Kite fists tighten at the though " No! Your wrong! I know that if I defeat him she'll finally acknowledge me! She has to!"

Shadow sighted " And if you loose?"

A. Kite look at him determination in his eyes " I won't loose."

Shadow sighted again " Fine do what you feel is right. I need to sleep right now. I'll be seeying ya around. Farewell other me." he grin before he disappeared from the area. A. Kite frown thinking hard before he too left the area.

( With Shadow Kite)

" Soon Azure, soon. You and I will meet again. And a new path will open." Shadow chuckle to himself. " Lets see what you'll choose"
