Des impatiently stands, dusting the dirt off his navy blue pants but stumbles a bit from the result of Jay's sneak attack. He admits it was unexpected but now he feels anticipated and a smirk crawls on his face as the boys' energy skyrockets.
"He did it...! The moment I recognize his eyes...!! He killed our father!!" Jay shouted out in rage, gripping his sickle so tight that a small vein throbbed on his fist. He glares immensely at Des as Zergio stands up beside him, his hair shadowing is eyes.
"I see..." Zergio said his eyes still shadowed but his violet aura off him fiercely. Slowly, he kneels down to pick up his claws and slides it back onto his hands, clenching onto it as tight as he possibly could. Standing back up, he looks over to Jay who is obviously still upset and eyes fierce with anger. He notices that his pupils are slit. Is it from his sudden increase in energy? This made him wonder and he looks down into his silver claws at his reflection. His eyes seemed to have changed as well. His pupils were slit just like his brother and as he feel his power returned to him, but a stronger. It feels great. Jay gets into an offensive position, his energy surging.
"Jay, I think it's time to put that new move to the test." Zergio said, tired of noticing any changes. Jay sends a look over to his brother uncertain what he is talking about.
"What are you talking about?" Jay questioned. Zergio sighed and looked at his brother sharply.
"Relation between shadow and lightning."

Yuki and Sakuno picks some cherries from a tree around the garden where their skillful mother grew strawberries, grapes, and other juicy fruits their whole family loved. Yuki couldn't stop thinking about how his brother Zergio hated cherries. And how Jay use to use cherries to his advantage sometimes.
"Hey, Kuno, do you remember how much Zergio hates cherries?" Yuki asked in somewhat of a whisper tone. Even though Sakuno would always have to deal with her sister's quietness, her sharp ears could always hear her out no matter what.
"Oh yeah! He always did hate them. AND I used to force him to eat it as torture and punishment." Sakuno said with a malicious laugh and evilly smirking to herself and thinking of all the devilish torture she'll put them through when they return from their journey if they ever. Yuki just sweatdropped with a nervous chuckle, remembering the few times Sakuno ever punished or tortured her.
"Ah! So how are their energies right now?" Sakuno asked curiously wanting to know the condition of her brothers. Yuki concentrated really hard in a direction that is somewhat north of where they are and eyes widen slightly after catching the boys' energies.
"Amazing..." Yuki said a bit shaky.
"Huh? What's wrong Yuki? Something the matter?" Sakuno asked a bit worried.
"Their powers have increased a lot. It's so strong..." Yuki muttered out in slight awe. She wasn't surprised they gained this much power, but it was somewhat unexpected to her. She clenches onto the handle of her wooden basket that cradles the cherries she picked.
"Jay, Zergio..."

An unknown footstep echoes out throughout the seemingly dark and desolate cave that welcomes the darkness. The figure, uncaring about the ambience, keeps walking through the mysterious cave with no flashlight or lamp whatsoever. He journeys through the still darkness in complete silent hearing nothing but the echoing of his footsteps and the drip-drip sound of water somewhere. Soon, he spots a faint glimmer up ahead through the black. His eyes narrow in suspicion as his pace hastens a bit to get closer and closer to the upcoming light.
Soon, he steps from the silent passageway into a very large clearing that is different from the passageway in many ways. First, there was luscious green grass around instead of the cold rugged stone ground. Then there was a series of colors reflecting all over the entire stone clearing's wall and ceiling, changing restlessly. While looking around the stone ceiling at the vibrant and varying hues, a medium sized hole in the ceiling brought heavenly white light down from upon it and onto an orb sitting on a fancy white Greek-style pedestal with the Light element symbols on it as a design. The man lowers his hat a bit as he started walking on a narrow strip of white stone that led to the object resting on top of the pedestal.
Stopping in front of the pedestal, he gazes in awe at the round orb in front of him that showed a very radiant and almost blinding light from the center and the light soon reflected the honored symbol of the element of light. The very orb that stands for all that is pure is right before him.
"The Hikari Orb, the orb that embodies the Light element. " the man said extending his hand to take the orb but before he gets the chance, two woman appeared out of nowhere a good distance away from him, blocking the one exit to the passageway again. Both was giving him a sharp glare.
"Amaterasu! Don't tell me you're the one the Kuragari sent after the Hikari Orb..." the first woman called out in calm anger. Her eyes were a soft teal, hair long and she carried a spear on her back.
"I knew he was gonna be a traitor since day one..." the other woman spat running her finger along the handle of her black scythe on her back, waiting for something to happen. Ama sighs as he turns around to the two angered women and tips his hat up to get a better look at them with his piercing electric orange eyes.
"Dei and Death, huh? Q was idiotic enough to send Death to a place like this...and Dei you prefer to use the solid form of water over the liquid form, am I correct? Ice over water, water being its true form and nature?" Ama said as he shakes his head in shame. Death's anger rises within her as she draws her scythe out, ready for battle The blade took on a weird shape, has red lining and the Darkness element sign on it. Dei just narrows her eyes and draws her spear ready for battle as well. The spear blade was very long with a nice sharp point with a teal rod and light blue tassel at the end of it.
"I don't care if this place is my weakness. I'll still tear you to shreds you traitor..." Death hissed at him swinging her scythe around by the chain connected at the bottom.
"And so what if I use ice? And when we defeat you, you WILL tell us why you betrayed us..." Dei said the water vapor in the air slowly forming into water and soon ice daggers floating around Ama. He looks around at the ice daggers and then back at Dei and Death and smirks.
"Fine then, come at me. If you can defeat a Meji."

"Oh yeah, that move. But we only tried it twice...it's not perfected." Jay told his brother bringing his eyes back to Des who picks up his large sword again. This time his energy surges as well which is an eerie dark blue color. Zergio and Jay glares at the dark blue energy they know so well ever since eight years ago.
"We have no choice." Zergio stated getting into a position pulling his right hand which had Soul Ripper back. Jay does the stance but with this sickle.
"Fine...but this needs to work, or we're totally screwed." Jay said focusing his energy and his hands and sickle starts building up lightning energy and glowed a very light violent and emitting a small lightning-like aura. Zergio's claws glows an ominous purple as shadows from his and Jay's are absorbed into the, along with his own energy as well. Des smirks sadistically and sets his sword in front of him.
"You're showing off some impressive energy, but let's see if it will but a dent in me!!" he screamed out at them. Jay and Zergio stared at him in disbelief. Was he this crazy? They then ignored his outburst and keeps concentrating energy.
"Grrr....it's time..." Jay said unable to hold back his build up of energy concentrated into his hands and weapon.
"Yeah...!" Zergio responded in the same condition.
"Relation between Lightning and Darkness!! Elemental Combination!! Black Lightning!!" the boys chanted out in unison as thunderheads began to take overhead the entire forest they were fighting in. The clouds swirled almost into a circle over Des's location as thunder echoes throughout the area sending its roar. Lightning surges and prowls through the darkened clouds like predator stalking prey.
Both of the boys thrust their weapons and hand forward about to unleash their new move. From Jay surges a large lightning bolt and Zergio dark energy forming with the lightning making it a dark color and shoots swiftly, fromboth of them, flying at Des with immense speed. Des sets his sword in front of him ready to block and defend the attack as the lightning attack collided with his blade. It soon became a struggle and his eyes widened when he sees his blade starts to crack and chip from the pressure and power of the lightning bolt he is holding back. As he is being pushed back, he hears thunder up ahead over him booming loudly and shaking the earth beneath his feet, causing a small earthquake. She the earth shook and Des struggles with the lightning bolt, breaking his sword, as a second lightning bolt the same color as the one breaking his sword comes down upon him, causing a enormous blast of electric energy to burst out and soon an small explosion around where he is, making the earthquake slightly more fierce.
Jay and Zergio falls to their knees panting and sweating as their auras disappeared and the slit eye pupils returned to normal. Only black smoke covered the area Des possibly used to be as the boys tries their hardest to try and locate him. Zergio could barely sense Des's energy and assumes it is over. Their father is avenged. It was worth their energy being depleted so much and making them totally exhausted. The storm clouds quickly disappears.
"Did...we get him?" Jay asked panting immensely and wiping the sweat with his jacket sleeve from his forehead also wiping away some of the blood from his forehead injury he suffered earlier in the fight.
"I think..." Zergio replied panting, too. He's never been this low on energy before, but it was to be expected. He looks away in slight dismay, remembering his deceased father.
"Dad..." Zergio muttered but was interrupted by projectile water shooting straight at him and Jay in a quick rush. They both reacted quickly by jumping to the side as the water projectiles drills into the spots they used to be resting at and the water quickly dissipated, noticing they missed their targets. Zergio feels his heart skip a beat as he looks towards the disappearing clouds of black smoke and sees Des's silhouette.
"Haah...you got me pretty good with the combination attack of yours...and you were able to shatter my sword..." Des said calmly out coming through the black smoke cloud, heavily damaged and injured. A large burned wound covered his entire chest with blood seeping from it. Zergio and Jay just stared at him like they were looking directly at a ghost. Spitting blood to the side, Des holds up the handle of his bladeless sword. Jay and Zergio just stares at it in awe as the water vapor slowly starts to turns into large droplets of water. The water is sucked into the blade's handle forcing the water to become the wide, sleek dark blue blade again. Des looks ahead at the boys, ready for round two to begin.
"Darn it...!" Zergio said acidly, narrowing his eyes at Des.

Toshii and Nina's rushes through slim crowds of people, desperately trying to get to the forest where Zergio and Jay are fighting. Toshii has a bad feeling as they race through Chikora to get to the forest.
"Nina, are you sure they're in the forest!?" Toshii shouted out finally getting out of Chikora with Nina close behind. The pair started running on a hilly path with few grass patches and weeds and surrounded by deep green grass. They may end up going through this forest when they leave Chikora in two days.
"Yes, T-chan, i'm positive of it!" Nina said looking around to see if there are no enemies hidden.
Just as they two girls start on the trail to their friends, they feel a strong energy coming towards the area as well and stop to look up at a large blue bird. The bird was actually flaming and caught the astonished Toshii and Nina's eyes as it just soars right over them with its midnight blue fire left in its wake to disappear. Toshii soon realized that it was not a regular bird, but in fact a phoenix.
"What was that thing?" Nina shouted out seeing the phoenix head out to the forest. Toshii just stood there staring at the bird flying towards a spot in the forest. Suddenly, she spotted a man with long crimson-brown hair and some sort of red phoenix symbol on the back of his deep green cloak. Toshii's eyes narrows, starting to dash after the mysterious blue phoenix and it's could-be owner riding it. Nina snaps out of her gaze and runs after the serious yet curious Toshii.
"Wait, T-chan!" Nina called after still running behind Toshii.
"I think that phoenix is heading to where Gio and Jay is!" Toshii suggested running a bit faster, her and Nina heads straight to the battlefield.

Des raises his sword up straight to the sky, letting the sun shine down on his blade causing a very bright gleam that causes Zergio and Jay to look away. The distraction works as Des pierces the ground with his sword. A trembling noise shakes the ground making it even more difficult for Zergio and Jay to muster up enough energy to even stand.
Huge pillars of sharp pointed ice splits the ground apart around Zergio and Jay. Zergio tried using his shadows to break apart the ice and so does Jay with his lightning attacks but fails as they remember their energy was used up from Black Lightning. Jay growls in frustration and Zergio tries to think off a plan, even though he had so little time.
In an instant, Des smashes through an ice spike spraying the shards at Jay and Zergio, distracting them long enough for Des to grab one of them by the neck tightly. Des holds up Zergio as he desperately kicks Des in the chest repeatedly knowing it must be his weak point now.
"Jay...his chest...!!" Zergio squealed out as the firm grip became tighter and his air thinner. Jay grabs his sickle and jumps at Des, aiming for his chest but a small fountain of water rose from a crack above Jay and quickly forms into an orb of water, imprisoning Jay.
"Darn it!!" Jay said still frustrated with the situation. Des smirks as he slams Zergio's head straight into the ground causing it to break up and Zergio started to feel dizzy as he is lifted up again, appearing limp.
"Gio!-" Jay started as he is interrupted by Des grabbing him by the face roughly and pulling him out of the water sphere before slamming his head into the ground as well like Zergio. Jay coughs up a little blood into Des's palm and is lifted up as well. Des smirks sadistically at the two incapacitated boys as he bashes both their foreheads together with immense force. Blood poured from both their foreheads as they both fall into a deep unconscious state. Des shakes them a little and throws them to the ground with a disgusted expression.
"Geez, thought they would have something else after pulling the freaky lightning trick on me..." Des said scratching his still damaged chest, ignoring the blood seeping from his large burn.
"Might as well clean up the mess now." Des said in a bored fashion. Water vapor around him formed into two large water spears that slowly starts to freeze into ice spears one aimed at Zergio's head and the other at Jay's.
"You put up a good fight, but in the end you're still just shrimp..." Des said a bit quietly, about to send the boys to their demise. Just before he was about to launch off the spears, a sharp karate like chop to the back of his neck made him fall forward, everything instantly going black in his vision and quickly becoming unconscious. As he fell, the crimson-brown haired man stands behind the fallen Des, his back to him.
"I knew you were going too far..."

The doorbell rang making Reshii's head peek from her room. She sighs, putting the puppy bookmark in the center of her book and closing it. She wonders who could've disturbed her reading. Nobody was around except for Shiro who was sleeping in his room, snoring away. Luckily, Reshii isn't able to hear the annoying sound as she got up lazily and walked into the living room to the front door.
"Hello?" Reshii said opening the door and eyes widen in surprise at the two strangers.
"Good to see you cousin Reshii." A girl with a tan and black hair in ponytails tied with red bands said smiling quite suspiciously yet carefree.
"Chichiwa! It has been a while!" Another girl said who looks younger than the first girl and has the same hair color as her as well.
"Dark Pearl! Nikpl!" Reshii exclaimed hugging the two girls.
