Normal P.O.V
A black aura sphere appeared in Kate's hand as she lunged forwards towards her friends. The sphere left her hands, colliding with the ground, sending them all flying backwards. Rythmi ended up besides Isaac, Keith smashed into the boarder surrounding the roof, Seren laid on the ground, while Kellyn was nowhere to be seen.
A scream echoed through the air as Keith's eyes shot wide open. Kellyn! He looked over the barrier; unable to see his friend he called his name instead.
"KELLYN!"
From outside, Sven was shocked to see Kellyn emerge through the blackness of the shield. He fell fast towards the ground.
Quickly ordering the Staraptor to go after him, Sven began chasing after Kellyn, hoping to get to him before he hit the ground.
Kellyn ignored the pain in his arms as he reached out, trying to grab some part of the Altru Tower to slow his fall. He grabbed a ledge, dislocating his shoulder in the process.
His fall didn't slow down. He looked towards the glass as he saw his own face, scared, frightened. He didn't recognise himself. He was meant to be strong, for himself, for Seren, for Almia, for the world. And yet, here he was, falling towards the ground, frightened and alone.
Sven reached his hand out as he grabbed Kellyn by the ankle, stopping his fall half way through the tower. As Sven pulled him up, he smiled at Kellyn, who nodded his thanks.
"I need to go back in," Kellyn stated.
"It's too dangerous," Sven replied.
"Damn it Sven, don't argue with me, I need to go back in," sighing, Sven knew he wouldn't win this argument with Kellyn. He flew up to the top, where Kellyn jumped inside.
He saw her, laid on the floor. Her black hair sprawled out, her eyes closed, her chest slowly rising and lowering. Kellyn rushed over to her, shaking her by the shoulders.
"Seren, Seren, please wake up," Seren's eyes slowly opened as she looked at Kellyn, a small smile etched its way onto her face. Kellyn smiled at her.
"Hey, where did you go?" she asked as she looked at his arm. She could tell, with but a single glance, that it was dislocated. She sat up, ignoring the pain that rushed through her body, ordering her to rest, she couldn't.
Seren stood to her feet with Kellyn before popping his arm back into its socket. They both turned to see Rythmi huddling with Isaac, she was bloodied and broken.
It was more than possible that Rythmi would be forever scarred. Her arms spewed blood, while she held her stomach, trying her hardest not to cough up any blood.
"We need to stop her," Keith stated as he stood next to Kellyn and Seren. They all knew that, but the only question as to stop her was how.
"Kellyn, the Darkrai needs capturing," Seren pointed to the Darkrai, who was stood calmly.
"So does the Gengar," Kellyn added as he looked at the Gengar.
"Guys!" they turned to Isaac who called out to them. "Kate's gone," he stated. They looked around, sure enough, Kate had vanished.
From high up in the sky, Sven, Wendy, Raisha and Crawford were all looking worried as Kate hovered above Altru Tower.
"KATE!" Sven yelled, but she didn't seem to hear him. Crawford's eyes narrowed as he watched his sister in the air. It wasn't Kate.
"That's not Kate, we need to land now, somewhere safe," Crawford stated as darkness began pooling out from Kate. Dark electricity emitted from her body, hitting a number of things in its path, sending them into the darkness.
One head down towards Luana lay. Crawford followed the lightning with his eyes before flying down towards her still body.
"NO!" he yelled as he jumped from the Staraptor. Landing beside her, he pulled Luana into his arms, but he couldn't get away in time.
The darkness struck them both. Crawford screamed as it entered his mind, eating him up from the inside out. Torturing his brain with images of things that were happening all over the globe, but he couldn't stop them. The images kept coming as he tried to stop them.
A dark void opened up underneath him, swallowing him and Luana into it.
Sven, Wendy and Raisha watched from the sky as they dodged many of the dark lightning attacks from Kate's body.
"WE NEED TO LAND!" Raisha yelled over the wind and lightning. Sven and Wendy nodded as they landed at the bottom of the Altru Tower. Hastings and Erma rushed over to them.
"What's going on?" Hastings asked. Sven and Wendy bit their lips.
"Kate's been taken over by the darkness," Wendy answered as she looked at Hastings, whose eyes went wide. His granddaughter…was doing this.
"Kate!" Darkrai's voice reached Kate's ears. The lightning stopped from her body as the voice continued. "Come down here, we have pests to deal with," he ordered. Kate did as told as she landed on the roof of Altru Tower.
Keith looked at her with sad eyes as he tried to make his way over to her. Her head snapped to him as she shot darkness towards him. Seren pulled him out of the way.
"Deal with those two first," Darkrai ordered as he motioned towards Rythmi and Isaac. Rythmi helped Isaac to his feet, knowing things were about to go downhill.
Kate walked over to them. Her steps slow, as if contemplating if she should to it or not. Keith watched in shock.
"KATE NO!" but again he couldn't move. He was trapped in place as he watched the girl he loved advance on his friends, their best friends.
"Kate, please," Rythmi whispered as she supported Isaac on his feet. He watched as Kate's eyes glew the eerie red, her hands soon became the same red.
"Rythmi," Isaac whispered as he clutched her hand, wanting to spend his last moment with her.
"Isaac, I'm sorry," Rythmi whispered as the red charged to the both of them. Rythmi pushed Isaac onto the ground, taking the hit full on. Everything fell silent, no one moved, no one spoke, Isaac was in shock.
He watched as Rythmi fell to her knees before she lay sprawled out on the floor. Gone. Rythmi had given herself to save him.
"RYTHMI!" Seren yelled.
"This is brilliant, just brilliant," Max laughed as he glared at Keith, who was in too much shock to even realise it.
"Now, why would it be brilliant?" Darkrai asked as he turned to Max, who looked at the dark type pokemon.
"People are dying left, right and centre, this world will soon be mine," he answered as he laughed loudly.
"You mean mine," Darkrai corrected. "I have no need for you anymore," and with that, Darkrai ordered the attack on Max.
(Blood and gore, skip if you don't wanna read)
The Gengar charged at Max, it's hand glowing black as he plunged it into Max's stomach, bringing out some intestines.
Mac screamed in pain as the Gengar did so. Keith turned to look at what was happening. He was shocked. Darkrai had turned on his father.
The Gengar's eyes glew red as Max's legs exploded, causing the older man to fall to the ground. Gengar then created a red orb in its hand before forcing it down Max's throat.
Once Max had swallowed it, acid began coming up from his mouth, seeping out through his stomach. He screamed in pain, wishing it would end.
Gengar laughed as it snapped his fingers, both Max's eyes popped, blood pooled down his face.
Just then, with another snap of the fingers, Max's head was twisted clean off his body. Falling to the ground, his head rolled by to Kate's feet.
The girl looked at the head. She picked it up before squeezing it with her hands, the skull popped, the brains rushed out, over her hands, onto the floor.
She dropped the head before walking back over to Darkrai, who was laughing loudly.
(End goriness and bloodiness)
"Kate, why don't you show your friends what the Darkness is like? Start with the blonde boy," Kate turned towards Isaac, holding her hands out she emitted more black lightning from it.
It shot towards Isaac, circling his mind before seeping in through his ears and eyes into his mind.
The darkness soon took control as visions of Melody flashed in his mind. She was in trouble, screaming for Isaac to help her, but alas, Isaac was the one who was doing the things to her.
"MELODY!" Isaac yelled as he limped over to the edge. He could see her, or so he thought he could see her. No, what he was seeing was a vision of her and a vision of himself with a knife, slitting her throat and stabbing her a number of times as people walked by.
"Melody," he whispered again as he fell to the floor. Isaac was lost, lost in the world of darkness. Where good things were bad, and where bad things were good.
"Excellent," Darkrai laughed as he looked at Keith who had ran at it, ready to punch it. When had he and his friends gotten free?
Seren focused on capturing the Gengar, while Kellyn posed as a distraction for it. Kai, who had been watching the whole thing gasped as a hand went through his stomach.
He was thrown into the middle of the roof. Kate walked forwards, her eyes never seeming to changed. Red laced her hands as she shot it towards the boy, who choked on the substance.
He coughed, bringing blood up, and then, lie motionless. He was gone. Keith turned from the Darkrai to look at Kate, who had killed his brother.
A small smile made its way on Keith's lips. He was glad both his father and his brother were gone, but he was upset that it was his best friend who had done it.
Keith turned back to Darkrai, who froze him in place as he looked at Seren. Keith's eyes followed Darkrai's. No! He wouldn't let another one of his friends get hurt. He couldn't.
But the darkness shot towards Seren. Something was different about it though. It wasn't completely black; it held hints of grey in it. Keith couldn't comprehend what was going on, but he didn't want to.
"SEREN WATCH OUT!" Keith yelled. Kellyn removed his eyes from the Gengar before running in front of Seren.
"KELLYN NO!" Seren yelled as she looked at the boy, who turned around. He gave her a wink and a thumbs up before he was hit with the darkness.
Kellyn was sent flying back, crashing into the barrier, causing it to crumble. The concrete fall on top of him, cutting, bruising, scarring and eventually, covering him.
Kellyn lay somewhere in that mess as Seren rushed over to the pile. Keith was released as he tried his hardest to run over to the two of them, but he was stopped by Kate of all people.
He looked at Kate, his eyes sad, he knew she was still there, he knew he could reach her. But he didn't know how.
'But if you can't get me to come back with the memories we've shared in the past, try using that memory, it could help.'
Of course. All Keith had to do was try and make her remember all their times together and if that didn't happen, he had to get her to remember the kiss they shared.
Keith gulped as he looked at her. How was he going to play this game? Gengar still needed capturing, Darkrai was still standing and with those two, Kate wouldn't pay him any mind.
Darkrai had complete control over Kate and how everything played out on the rooftop.
Maybe, just maybe, that didn't matter. Kate was his best friend, maybe she would listen to him either way.
'I'm always here for you.'
'You can talk to me you know.'
Keith smiled, he could do this, he would do this. If not for himself, then for Kate, she needed bringing back, her family needed her, her friends needed her, he needed her.
Keith cast a glance at Seren, who was still fumbling through the pile, then back at Kate before frowning. He ran forwards, jump over her and rushed to Seren's side.
He began helping her search through the pile of rubble. Right now, Kellyn needed finding; if he wasn't then he could suffer internal bleeding.
Keith found Kellyn's hand in the pile, which Seren quickly grabbed. Keith then removed a large rock off the top of Kellyn. He was battered, bloody, beaten, crushed.
His face had a large cut going across it; both Seren and Keith could tell that he would be scarred for life with it. But they didn't know anyone getting out of this that wouldn't be physically or mentally scarred.
Keith pulled Kellyn out of the pile of rubble with Seren's help. Seren took her Ranger jacket off, placing it under Kellyn's head. Keith looked over to Rythmi, who lay dangerously close to the edge.
He quickly rushed over, picked the blonde up and brought her over to where Kellyn laid. He took his own Ranger jacket off, revealing his nice toned chest once again, before placing it under Rythmi's head.
No one seemed to notice Kate, who was watching everything with Darkrai and Gengar silently, happened to blush once she saw his chest.
Keith looked over to see her face tinted slightly red, he mentally cheered, so Kate wasn't lost after all.
"Keith," Seren's voice made his head snap towards her. Her eyes held tears that threatened to spill any moment.
"Yeah?" Keith asked, he bit his lip, fearing for the worst.
"Kellyn's dead."
And that's that chapter complete!
