Maxi, and Xiba were in the fight of their lives. Kilik is possessed because of Tira.(if you didn't read it go to the previous chapter)Xiba was still trying to wake up Leixia from her deep sleep.

'' Leixia please don't die on me!'' He cried. '' If you do I won't have anyone else to love!''

Maxi saw Kilik's terrible form. The eyeball on his chest was huge and live, it gave Maxi the creeps just looking but he knew that he had to save his friend in a short amount of time.

'' Kilik listen to me!'' Maxi yelled. '' Your possessed! You lost your peaceful piece of mind!'' He started to cry.

'' All I need is your soul and I will be on my way!'' He said getting ready to fight.

'' I don't want to fight you Kilik!'' Maxi said surrendering and dropping his weapon.

Kilik just smiled his evil Soul Edge smile and started walking towards Maxi. Maxi was just watching him come closer and closer and he didn't do anything else. He was thinking of a back up plan if his first one back fires,

'' My your weak.'' Kilik said laughing. '' No one will never escape my power. NOBODY! After I am done with you, I will continue to collect souls for my master and I will be the most strongest creature in the universe!'' Kilik said taking his site and trying to slice Maxi but he dodge it right on time.

Maxi was smiling because he got an idea.

'' He maybe evil and dangerous but he is not as fast as I am and with at kind of slowness I'll be sure to snatch Soul Edge right out of him!'' He said to himself.

Xiba didn't see Kilik in his form until he turned around, tears were running down his cheeks like a waterfall.

'' Maxi she's...AAH!"' He hollered in shock.

Kilik looked at him and started walking in his direction. Maxi saw him so he grabbed his weapon and came charging for Kilik.

'' Take this you monster!'' Maxi yelled as he used his nun-chucks to choke Kilik.

'' What is this!" Kilik asked trying to break free.

'' It's called saving you.'' Maxi replied. '' Xiba run!''

Xiba looked around confused. '' What? Why?''

" Because what you are about to see might scare you.'' Maxi said taking the site from Kilik.

'' What are you gonna do to him?'' He asked worried.

'' Just run.'' He answered softly.

'' But what about...

" Just go!'' Maxi yelled as Xiba started to run away. " Alright Kilik it's time for me to put you out of this mess.''

Maxi was choking Kilik so hard that blood started to fill his mouth and he started to gag. He finally released him and blood just started coming out of Kilik's mouth like a water fountain. Maxi regretted doing that but he had to calm his friend down. Kilik wiped the blood off of his mouth and looked at Maxi coldly, like he was ready to dominate planet earth.

'' You little!'' He then said as he looked around as if he was looking for something.

Maxi smiled coolly and put his hands on his hips like a bad boy.

Well aren't you ticked.'' Maxi said removing his hair from his face.

'' Where...where are those brats!'' Kilik asked still looking around.

'' Their gone dude.'' Maxi answered. '' You just missed 'em.''

Tira was watching the two from a long distance and she wanted to see some action so she started walking closer to them clapping her hands.

'' Well well what a boring show I'm seeing.'' She said. '' I expected more from you Kilik.''

Kilik looked pitiful and decided to really get the fight going. Having a bloody mouth, Kilik started to fly in the air and shoot powers right out of his mouth! Maxi wasn't expecting him to do that so he really didn't have a option so he grabbed Kilik's site and threw it at him, trying to hit the eye but he dodged it. But the site ended up cutting him deeply in his arm, he hollered through the pain and came falling out of the sky.

'' What are you doing! KILL HIM!'' Tira demanded.

When he fall on the ground, Kilik sat up holding his arm and sweating as Maxi came running towards and knocking him in the air and doing a multiple hit combo and slamming him on the ground.

'' Weakening him can make my plan go more smoothly.'' Maxi said to himself.

Kilik was having a really hard time getting up and Tira was getting worried.

'' Oh no if he dies who will help me collect souls for Nightmare?'' Tira asked in her sweet voice.

'' Forget the boy and ditch him.'' Tira's evil voice said. '' He won't survive much longer.''

It was clear to Maxi that he had beaten Kilik pretty bad and thought now it was the time. He grabbed Kilik's worn out body and put it up against a tree. He looked into Kilik's black, scary eyes as he was grabbing his site again. Also being very worn out, Maxi pulled the site away from Kilik and was ready to stab the eye but not his heart. He started crying because what if he gone to far or what will he do if he ends up killing him? Maxi had to answer these questions and soon but Kilik was going to die one way or the other. Before Maxi could jab the site into Kilik's chest, Xiba came running his way.

'' Maxi! Maxi!'' He yelled.

Maxi turned his head fast to see Xiba.

'' Hey I told you to go home!'' Maxi yelled back.

'' I know but...'' He paused.

He looked at Kilik, he was all bloody and covered with sweat, it scared Xiba to death.

'' What are doing to him!'' He asked frightened.

'' I have to do what's right and save him from Soul Edge before he dies at the spot.'' He explained looking at Kilik who was unconscious. Just before he could put in it for the second time Xiba stopped him.

'' No Maxi stop!'' He cried. '' I don't want you to! I...I don't want to see him die!''

'' Xiba if I don't do this...you already know what is going to happen!'' Maxi said shaking him.

Tira was watching and smiling because having Maxi and Xiba stall has part of her plan.

'' Yes YES!" She yelled at the sky. '' It is time for it!

'' Time for what!'' Maxi asked.

'' It's too late! You took too long to stop him and now he's unbeatable!'' She answered laughing loudly. '' Now Soul Edge bring power to Kilik and make sure he destroys them all!''

" Oh fan bloody tastic!'' Maxi said.

Kilik started to wake up and he looked at Xiba, took him by his leg and threw him a far distance. Maxi backed away from him and dared not to talk to him. Kilik's cut on his arm automatically healed by itself. Maxi knew he was in trouble.

Chapter nine comes to an end and I bet you be flabbergasted about the next chapter. Please review. =)
