"Stop Will!" called the empress. "Have mercy!"

"Why should I? He has done nothing but ruin our lives. He deserves to die."

"NO, he has ruined your life."

At this Will felt a shudder, a growing fear arising inside. "What do you mean? Do you love this man?"

"No, I only love you. He means nothing to me. But you fear him. You fear him because he was there before you. Can't you see I have nothing left for him? Nothing left for anyone in my past? How can you not see that? I am your wife."

And then Will's mind slipped into further darkness. Visions of Marie and her betrayal blackened Will's soul, and he knew what he had to do. I must kill him so that Valentina can never have an opportunity to hurt me. It is the only way to save myself.

"I'm sorry Valentina. But I'm afraid I cannot do that."

Stop! You'll break her heart. You're already breaking her trust, cried the dying voice of good in Will's heart. "Better hers than mine again," barked the voice of evil. And Will's fingers squeezed until James' body was no more. When his body fell, a red bolt of lightning struck Will and spread out to the enemy army. All were immediately disintegrated. When the smoke emerged, Valentina saw the body of Will lying on the ground with a few flickers of blue electricity sparking around his body. Standing before her was an even mightier warrior with red eyes and a red saber. His hair was short and spiked, as if they were real. His chest bulged and his muscles rippled. His complexion was perfect. He was even more beautiful than Valentina's love, except that his countenance was that of hate, anger, and bloodlust.

"Such power. It is incredible. For millennia I have been at bay. And now. I am free. The world will pay. But first, I must ensure that he (gesturing towards Will) never stops me again. My weaker half. My "good" half. He thought he could continue this charade. Fool! All his power came from me. Sooner or later he knew I would escape."

"Who are you?" asked Valentina, but she already knew the answer.

"I, my dear, am the real Will. The part he hides. The part forged in him long ago when his heart was broken. I evolved to protect Will and ensure that we survived. It is I who defended you. It is I who brought Austria its glory. And it is I who you truly love."

"No," Valentina stammered. "That cannot be true. Will, wake up!" she screamed as she pushed the lifeless body.

"Now, kneel before me." demanded Dark Will.

"Never. I do not deny that Will has darkness, but I love him and all of him, you are but one part of him. To have him be all good is just as bad to have him be all dark. Therefore, I will stop you." With that she fired an arrow from her bow. Dark Will caught it in his hand and snapped it. She fired again only to be met with the same result. She drew her sword and charged, but he simply grabbed the blade and snapped it in two.

"Foolish girl. If you thought he was powerful, you have no idea what I can do." And with that, he pushed her back on the ground, and she lay next to her lifeless lover. Then he sent surges of red lightning down her body. Valentina cried out in terror and pain. When she was near death, Dark Will stopped.

"Now, empress, let's have a little chat." and he picked her up. "Do you love me?"

"…Yes. For even though you are Will's evil…AAH!" He sent more electricity in her body.

"Wrong answer! Try again! No one can love me."

"But I do…AAAAAAHH!"

"WROOONG!"

"YESSS!...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

As this was happening, the sparks on Will's chest began to grow stronger and his eyes began to open. He saw a horrible sight and wished it was a dream, but he knew that face, for it was his own.

(Present)

Will's body began to glow. After all these years, you will not escape me. You killed Valentina. He called down a bolt of lightning and became super charged. Electricity coursed throughout his body and he began to levitate. He chased after his dark self. Eventually, he caught up to it, and decimated the transport. No sooner had he done this that red lightning filled the sky and Dark Will emerged in a similar manner, ready to face his opponent.

"Do you really think you can beat me with thoughts of revenge in your heart? All of that strength comes from me. Even though we no longer share the same body, we still are connected. All of the anger you felt throughout the years has only made me stronger. Don't you see it Will, this was our future. This is what we can do without love. This is the power we can achieve."

"But we aren't happy." And with that he sent a bolt of lightning at Dark Will, but it fizzled out before it could reach him. Will could feel himself losing strength and he began to fall towards the Earth.
