Note: This was the originally planned ending I wrote a year ago until the plot changed but I'd like you all to enjoy it anyway.

END OF ZKD

Warped by the Horror's darkness, Copycat's armor began to change, gaining a more sinister look. It looked like the medieval armor of Knights from the middle ages but it was not of noble appearance. It was evil, sinister, hateful, hellish and diabolical. Spikes covered the shoulders as a dark cape fell from the shoulders. The fingers of his gauntlets ended in sharp tips like claws. The helmet had four long and sharp horns pointing upwards arranged to appear like a crown and the faceplate, it looked like a black skull. Above the Horror was a giant ball of hellfire that appeared to look like an eye, glaring at everything with evil intent.

Sauron explained, "I was only able to influence her but never control. You see, when you defeated me, Dragon Knight, my powers were weakened. You, however, were not a Makai Knight and thankfully I was not sealed by you. Since I am a Horror, my spirit latched onto the closes source of negative emotions."

Draco said in realization, "Onee-chan..."

"Yes," Sauron confirmed, "And what a surprise to realize that she is a Living Gate that allowed Horrors to pass into this world. She became my host and unlike other hosts she was able to suppress me to the point that I was like a prisoner in her mind. However, her hatred and jealousy towards you was easily manipulated. I led her towards the Cat Deck and from then on she became Zodiac Knight Copycat. But, even then, I was still not able to control her. Do you know the opposite to hate? It's love! Her love was able to suppress me! Her love for you and your mother and it had extended towards Slade and her friends and lover. I had to get stronger and so did she. So, I influenced her into taking Zodiac Powers and killing. The more blood on her hands and powers she absorbed, the closer I was coming into control. Now, I am free!"

Draco demanded, "Let her go!"

"Your cousin is a Makai Knight. Didn't he tell you that the hosts of Horrors are as good as dead? She's gone now and you'll never get her back!"

"Souka…" Draco realized and then just reached into the air. There was a warp sound and the Hyper Inzecter flew into his palm before he connected it to his belt and pushed down the horn lever.

"HYPER CAST OFF! CHANGE HYPER MODE!"

Draco went into a ready stance and said, dangerously, "Now, we end this…"

Sauron then summoned a black sword with jagged edges and skull and bones as the crossguard and said, "Yes…the end of your life, that is!" Sauron charged and Draco summoned the Perfect Inzecter, blocking Sauron's swing. They pushed against one another, in a deadlock.

"Onee-chan, I know you can hear me! Please, don't let him control you!" Draco pleaded, trying to reach his sister inside Sauron.

"She's long gone, Dragon Knight!" Sauron said as he punched Draco back and slashed him across the chest, sending sparks flying. He then continued to slash as Draco, repeatedly, causing screams to escape the Dragon Knight's lips…they sounded so delicious to Sauron.

The Titans watched, horrified as Draco was being attacked by Sauron, but now without Shadow who had been eaten by Sauron before and Pluto who was gone…their only hope now lay in Draco's hands.

Draco caught Sauron's blade in his hand, ignoring the burning pain as he activated his weapon. "HYPER POWER! HYPER BLADE!" He slashed with it and Sauron got a nasty gash in his armor. The Horror was not pleased. He continued to battle Draco. Their swords clanged into one another as they crashed against one another, Soul Metal against Horror Metal. Draco then used his Zodiac Powers, sending a fireball at Sauron. He dodged that, but then a column of rock sent Sauron flying into the air before Draco sent ice spikes at him. He then jumped up and slashed down with his sword, sending Sauron crashing to the floor. However, Sauron was still standing even after that onslaught.

"Is that all you got?" Sauron challenged. "Well, take a taste of this!" He pointed up at the flaming eye and then it sent a powerful beam of energy at Draco. Draco leapt out of the way as that part of the floor exploded and he rolled away again from another beam. He then started porting, avoiding them.

"Well, you can dodge it," Sauron said but added sinisterly, "But what about your friends?" The eye aimed at the Titans and FIRED!

"No!" Draco cried out and then ported to block the beam. He screamed in pain as he felt the searing heat through his armor. The Titans gasped.

Draco stood, his body smoking, as Sauron approached him. Sauron laughed, "See? That is the price you pay for playing hero! You couldn't defeat me before and you can't defeat me now. Why? Your friends hold you back. Don't worry, I'll end your pain once and for all." Sauron swung down but Draco caught him arm and sent Sauron staggering back with a kick before he slashed down with his sword, slicing off Sauron's arm. Black blood spilled from the stump. "YOU! THAT WAS YOUR SISTER'S ARM!"

"My sister…would rather die…than to be your puppet," Draco growled and then the Cutter, Scarab and Fire Inzecters flew in and attacked Sauron, smashing into him before combining with the Perfect Inzecter. "This…ends…now…" Draco pressed the buttons.

"FIRE POWER! CUTTER POWER! SCARAB POWER HYPER POWER ALL INZECTERS COMBINE!" He pressed the trigger, "MAXIMUM HYPER TYPHOON!" He charged at Sauron and then with the concentrated Tachyon energy blade, slashed down on the Horror. Sauron screamed as he fell and exploded. Soon, his body shifted back to the form of Kat. She had many injuries on her. Draco kneeled down and lifted her up.

"Onee-chan!" Draco cried.

"Otouto…" she began, weakly, "It's still not over yet." She pointed to the eye. It was still there and radiating evil power. "That eye…is Sauron's…true…power…Destroy it."

Draco nodded at his sister's request and picked up the Perfect Inzecter, converting it to Gun Mode as it announced, "GUN MODE!" He pressed the same series of buttons before it announced again, "ALL INZECTERS COMBINED!" He stood up straight and took careful aim, up high, at the eye and then pulled the trigger, "MAXIMUM HYPER CYCLONE!"

The powerful spiraling beam of tachyon energy burst from his weapon and towards the eye. It got blasted and Draco continued to fire. In the process, his Hyper Clock Up Mode activated, the fins unfolding from his gauntlets and boots and his wings behind him to withstand the recoil. Soon, with a last burst of power, the eye exploded. Draco dropped the Perfect Inzecter, panting. He then kneeled down to his sister.

"I've done so many horrible things…" she said slowly before coughing out blood.

"Onee-chan!" he panicked, picking her up, "We better get you to a doctor!" She laughed, bitterly.

"Baka…I thought you knew that when a person becomes a host to a Horror, they are deemed already dead. My time is…almost…over…"

"No…" he begged. "No…"

"Sauron…is weakened but he still lives inside me. Please…take my life now," she pleaded, a dark aura covering her. His eyes widened. Did he just heard her right?

"No…" he shook his head, "NO!"

"Please…I don't want to end up his puppet anymore…please…"

Draco listened to the pain in her words and laid her down on the ground. He said to her, "I'll try to make this painless for you…" He summoned his Keyblade. He stood up straight, pointed the tip of the Keyblade down to her chest and then plunged it down into her heart. There was an inhuman shriek before Kat lay still. The Zodiac Powers she had also collected rose up from her body and into Draco's…

The other Titans, watched, horrified, as Draco killed his sister but not as horrified as Draco who fell to his knees, his hands clutching the bloodied Keyblade and he screamed, painfully, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Now, only two Zodiac Knights remained…

Draco walked down the hallway. It was funny to not hear explosions coming from Pluto's room when he usually did his experiments. Oh wait, he was dead, Draco reminded himself, died in his arms during the Horror invasion. Draco passed by the SB Ops room and didn't hear the usual tapping of Shadow's fingers on the keys...They were gone, like Tazuka and Craig. He was the one last Knight that remained...

Draco entered his room and spoke, "Why did it have to like this...why did this all happen?" He stared at a photograph of the whole team, happy, but that was several months ago.

Blackfire was in the gym, beating the crap out of ALL the sandbags until she moved onto bricks and other things to vent her frustration. Draco wished she'd beat him up. He did promise her that he'd take care of Pluto and he'd failed.

Raven had gone back to wearing her dark uniform. Depressed and alone, the sorceress of Azarath turned to the only solace she had; books. Cyborg was not working on his baby. He saw no point since he didn't have Pluto around to talk to and Beast Boy didn't crack any jokes.

Telling his mother the truth about Kat, the whole truth, hadn't been easy, but it was something he had to do. He didn't stay to see his mother cried but got out of her sight. Who would want to see their daughter's murderer anyway?

Draco, angry at himself, punched a hole through the wall. Suddenly, he heard a familiar ringing sound, beckoning him towards the full length mirror in his room. He saw Libra, standing in the reflection. Eyes narrowed and enraged, he smashed his fist into the glass, shattering it.

"Why did you start all this!? Why!?" Draco demanded from Libra's cracked image. "Why do people have to die!? Was it for the amusement of the gods!? Tell me! Why did you allow me to live!? Why did you keep saving me!? Why!? WHY!?"

"For the answers you seek, you must fight," Libra said simply.

"NO!" Draco denied. "No more fighting! No more! I've had enough of this! I quit!"

"You can change all this if you win," Libra stated. "Don't walk away now. You have only one more day before it's too late."

"It's already too late, don't you get it? My friends are gone! Ichijyo and Takada are gone! Tazuka is gone! I killed Mortuary when I had no choice and I killed onee-chan too! No more killing! This stops now!"

"This is your destiny…my son," Libra said, causing Draco to freeze.

"What did you just say?" Draco questioned.

Libra walked out of the remains of the mirror and appeared before Draco. He reached up and removed his helmet, revealing his face to the Dragon Knight for the first time.

The face of his father…

No, it had to be a trick but Draco had the feeling that Libra was telling the truth.

Draco could only do ONE thing…

WHAM!

Libra was sent flying by the force of Draco's fist and slammed into the wall, leaving a mark. Draco flew at Libra, his father, and grabbed him by the throat and pummeled him with his fist, repeatedly.

"Why? (POW!) WHY!? (POW!) WHY!? (POW!) WHY!?" Draco questioned as he punched the man, repeatedly, in the face. The others had heard the commotion and forced Draco's door open to see him beating the crap out of Libra.

"Baby, STOP!" Jinx yelled. Draco did and let the god go in disgust.

"I know I deserved that, son," Libra said.

"SON!?" Beast Boy echoed in disbelief. "HE'S YOUR DAD!?"

"This man…is not my father," Draco growled.

"I know you must hate me," Libra began, but was interrupted.

"And why shouldn't I? You pretend to be dead for the last 16 years and then just watched over us, but you never used your powers to really help!" Draco shouted accusingly and hatefully. "There are so many ways I can hurt you now…Why didn't you help Tazuka, Craig, onee-chan and the others!? Why did you only help me!? What about the others!? WHY, DAMN IT!? TELL ME!?"

"Because, it was your destiny," Libra replied. Draco scoffed.

"To hell with destiny," Draco said. "I'm done being anyone's pawn."

"If you don't fight, you have already lost," Libra said.

"I've lost my friends, some by my own hands," Draco reminded.

"But if you fight…you can bring them back," Libra replied. Raven and Blackfire stepped forward.

"Can he? Really?" Raven asked uncertainly.

"The power he would receive in the end will grant him one wish…anything he desires…that is, if he fights for it."

"Maybe you should do this," Blackfire began, but received a glare from Draco.

"And ruin another life? Forget it!" Draco objected.

"There's not enough time," Libra said, "Is there, Terra?"

Terra stared down at her hands. They were turning back to stone! She was running out of time!

"Remember that your brother made a deal with Fuji-sama and I to bring you back to life for you are the Key to the Mirror Dimension, Tara Markov. He wished for you to live and thus became MY Knight of Libra…and the final obstacle to my son's wish."

Draco, seeing the pleading looks on his friend's faces, made his choice then and there, "Alright, I'll do it," Draco said firmly. Libra nodded and created a Mirror Portal where Geo was waiting for him. Draco stepped in front of it and held out his Zodiac Deck but instead of the normal summoning call for his armor, he shouted, "Henshin!" and slid the deck into the belt, allowing the armor to encase him.

"Now, face your destiny, Zodiac Knight Draco," Libra said.

"No…My name is…Kamen Rider Ryuki…" Ryuki said before he stepped into the portal to face Geo…

In the End there can be only One.

ZK Chromedragozoid: Geo was meant to be the my version of Kamen Rider Odin as an extension for Libra and maybe even the identity of Terra's brother, Geo-Force/Bryon Markov, but I decided that Libra would be the final Knight they would fight instead after careful consideration. I also wrote this before I had the idea for the Living Gate.
