However, Star's attack had no effect.

Fallen Angel laughed.

Fallen Angel: "WHAT? You think that I'll let you live? You think you can BARGAIN with ME, the almighty Fallen Angel?!? You will suffer for all eternity for this insult!... not that I was going to spare you in the first place. DIE!!! ALL of you!"

Fallen Angel sent a magical wave of fire, trying to burn everyone but himself (in short, both Serra's party and the Anti-Exs).

During this time, Seraph dived deep within her wielder's soul... She has located the memory. All that she needed was to unlock it...

...

During this time...

...

The Anti-Exs were unnaffected.

Assassin: "Basic fire-wave move. Unneffective against Aura-type shielding technology."

Lieutenant Shadow: "WOW! Just look at this! That Fallen Angel is even dumber than Captain Dark!"

Captain Dark: "Yo yo man! Yo dumber yo me! And yo man hard yo beat yoyo yo yo!"

Siryx suddenly teleported next to the other Anti-Exs.

Siryx: "Hmm... so here is the "Ex" being!"

Lieutenant Shadow: "Fallen Angel has created a barrier. All we have to do is wait and finish off the "Ex" being or Fallen Angel, whoever wins."

Captain Dark: "Yo bet 20 bucks yo Fallen Angel man!"

Lieutenant Shadow: "HEY! It's not the time for..."

Siryx: "50 bucks on the "Ex" being."

Lieutenant Shadow: "What the... boss?!? Are you two insane?"

Assassin: "200 UEN credit units. Bet on target codenamed "Ex" being."

Lieutenant Shadow: "WHOA! Even Assassin?!? This is just... insane!"

Lieutenant Shadow stared at the others with an air of disbelief for a while...

Lieutenant Shadow: "Alright then! I'm with you, Captain Dark! 500 bucks on Fallen Angel! Whoever loses must buy donuts for the winners!"

(all Anti-Exs): "OK!"

Bel: Firewave again? Bel summoned watershields for himself and the others in his party. Bel thought: "I hope this is enough."

Bel: Almighty fallen angel? Pah!

"This isn't the time to be fighting amongst ourselves! If we do they'll win!"

Star created his own barrier using lightning to part the fire around him. He didn't want to attack the fallen angle, because the Anti Exs were dangerous enough to kill Star. He had fought before and it would take a lot of effort to just get away from them.

"Damn it..."

Star walked over to the barrier and tried to examine it, hoping that Serra and the others would stop the angle from attacking him. He needed to break the barrier before he could fight. Fighting one battle to get dragged into the next wasn't a very good idea.



"He's right, we can't fight amongst ourselves. You can be as evil as you want, but that shouldn't make you stupid!"

Serra stayed behind Bel's water shield, but was ready to pull out any of the twelve swords, the one she wanted to use most was Wish however. Although the power of it here wasn't reliable, it would still do something.

"Serra, I can't get any of the doors open!"

Destin kept stuggling trying to just get at least one of the doors open.

The doors were unnaffected. There was no way the doors would be opened as long as Fallen Angel is standing.

Fallen Angel: "Nobody can escape from ME! I will kill you ALL!"

Fallen Angel unleashed yet another fire-elemental attack. This time, it was a HUGE fireball... but this one was a "little" stronger than a standart one... in fact, it was crazy strong. Not as insanely stong as a plasma beam, but almost.

...

During this time...

...

Seraph's eye widened. Finally! She had found the memory and had unlocked it!

...

During this time...

...

Lieutenant Shadow: "What is the "Ex" being doing?!? Isn't it realising that Fallen Angel is an insane psychotpath and won't help them?"

Siryx stared at Serra... she was reminding him of... her... Could it truly be... her? Nah...

"Well, at least you aren't unpredictable!"

Star jumped in front of the fire ball and shot lightning at it, containing it. Both fire and lightning were pure energy and could hold each other off, but all it was, was a stalemate.

"AHHHHH!"

Star attempted ot over power the fire ball and send it right back at the fallen angle. His lightning started to spark everywhere, but Star was really trying to think...

"I guess I have to finish you first."

Serra brought out Wish and pointed it at the fallen angle. It started to glow as Serra closed her eyes and though.

"Don't do it!!! We can't kill him! That is what the Anti Exs want!"

Serra resheathed the sword as she began to ask quickly what was going on.

"What do you mean?"

"If they kill him, NeoBowser will become the ultimate evil. We can't let that happen!"

Seraph: "Star! Allow me to act! Let your force field die down and hit the fireball using me while yelling: COUNTER! You'll see... true powers shall be unleashed... if you put power into that slash that is!"

...

During this time...

...

Lieutenant Shadow: "Oh great... They figured out our plans!"

Assassin: "Mission: Kill current Absolute Evil to restore NeoBowser to his rightful place. Mission status: Failed."

Siryx: "Hmmm..."

Siryx smiled...

Lieutenant Shadow: "Huh? Siryx? Why did your cheeks turned pink?"

Captain Dark: "Yo man yo! Is yo me or yo stars in yo eyes, man!"

Siryx: "Those curves... these eyes... the fur and the hair... the grace... the pure innocence... Yes... she truly seems like... her, reborn..."

Lieutenant Shadow: "Oh man... Ex Lightheart alert, guys!"

Assassin: "I fail to compute this. I tought that all feelings of love toward Ex Lightheart had been erased from Siryx's heart."

Siryx: "Huh? What are you talking about?!? Are you implying that I would fall for... for this W***E?!? I'm the leader of the Anti-Exs, the most trusted servant of NeoBowser! There's no way I could betray my master in order to live a relationship with a super sexy, beautiful, marvelous... nice... really intelligent... and beautiful... and so innocent... and so nice..."

Siryx's jaws dropped as he stared at Serra. She had the same curves... the same face... the same personality. Yes, most definitely! She must be a memory of Ex Lightheart or something like that!

Siryx: "F**k the Fallen Angel! I just want that girl!"

Siryx summoned the infinite powers of the Essence of Chaos and broken the barrier keeping the party from running away! Siryx jumped on the ring, right in front of Serra.

Siryx: "Sorry about earlier! Really... really sorry."

Siryx's cheeks turned pink again. He was staring at his feet and was obviously quite shy... which was weird considering just how close to being pure Evil that being was. For a second, Siryx seemed very, very cute and innocent... just like he used to be, before NeoBowser corrupted him.

Siryx: "M... m... my name is... S... S... Siryx."

Siryx tried to stare at something else than his own feet. He was now staring a bit higher... but not high enough.

Siryx: "Y... y... your eyes are really beautiful."

Siryx *thinks* YOU TRIPLE SUPER-DUPER MORON! Her eyes are higher! That's her boobs you moron!

Siryx forced himself to stare at Serra's eyes.

Siryx *thinks* NOW that's better!

Siryx: "Errr... sorry... Your eyes are really beautiful, you know..."

Siryx *thinks* Man! I'm so scared! What if she was actually disgusted of me or something?... errr... what the heck am I thinking? I'm Siryx, THE Siryx! I'm an Anti-Ex! My job is to KILL "Ex" beings, not to try and become the boyfriend of one of them! NeoBowser will kill me if he hears about this!... and yet, I don't care. That's so... weird...

Siryx seemed uneasy.

Siryx *thinks* WHY?!? WHY?!? WHY MUST YOU TEST ME, GREAT NEOBOWSER?!? Why didn't you reforged my soul in a way that I wouldn't be tortured with those stupid feelings of "love"?!?... or why didn't you, at least, placed a control chip in my brain that would erase these feelings whenever I would set my eyes on the beautiful... sexy... intelligent... err... NO! I MUST STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS!

The other Anti-Exs stared at Siryx, perplexed.

Lieutenant Shadow: "Here he goes again! Well... I guess we can only do one thing..."

Captain Dark: "Intervene?"

Lieutenant Shadow: "No! Make bets! 50 bucks that she'll fall for him all over again!"

Assassin: "All over again? I do not think this is the real Ex Lightheart. Her body is identical and so is the personality... but there is something... definitely different. Still, for some reason, females just looove his "I'm so cute'n'nice" attitude... and I do know about this... *whispering* *sigh!* Siryx..."

Lieutenant Shadow: "Assassin? You said something?"

Assassin: "Errr... !!! Errr... NO!!! I mean... negative. I bet 100 bucks that she'll fall in love at first sight."

Captain Dark: "Yo bet 200 bucks that yo chick doesn't!"

"Ok, I'm trusting you!"

Star let the lightning energy fade and with the barrier gone, the fire ball shot towards Star.

"Counter!"

Star swung the sword trying to hit the fire ball right in the middle. Concentrating only on it and Seraph.



"Serra it HAS to be a trap! Don't fall for it!"

Destin pleaded with Serra as she looked, something odd coming across her face. She couldn't even here Destin, all she could think about was who was in front of her. She knew he was an Anti Ex, but something seemed appealing about him. She couldn't just forget him, or bring herself to hurt him, what could she do. She quickly looked down to the ground and thought to herself.

"What's going on!? This person tried to kill me and I can't even think about hurting him. Damn, if only someone could tell me what to do..."

Serra remembered someone, someone that was traveling all alone, and looked about the same age as her and Destin. He traveled along in good spirits and was obviously very happy with the world. Serra and Destin invited him over to travel with them for a while, but he left so soon. The only thing he said was/i]

"Although we live between thought and emmotion, niether is correct. Sometimes, you have to let go of both and just see what happens. That is the only reason I became a bard. It was the best thing I could do with my life, but I never would have done it if I hadn't decided to let go of thought and emmotions. What guided me, I may never know, but whatever did, I'm glad it did."

Serra could still see his face, he wasn't even an important figure in her life, but he did carry around with him a certain joy that she had never felt before. Serra began to try and let go of thought and emmotion, kind of in a way blanking out, just waiting for something to happen. Serra began to wonder if anything had happened yet, and she opened her eyes, she realized she was looking right at Siryx.



"Hey Maya, did you just get an odd feeling that we are missing something?"

Luke looked at his traveling partner and she looked back. She always noticed the blissful eyes Luke had, regardless of wether it was a good situation or a bad one, but she couldn't feel anything at all.

"I don't know, but something does seem wrong with the world today. Hey didn't there used to be a mountain there?"

Maya poitned at an empty space in the sky that she would have sworn a mountain had been.

"Something is going on, but I'm not sure what. Come on."

The bard and the dancer quickly ran towards the mountain, expecting to see something that could have led to the destruction.



"Emmotions... I'm glad I haven't had to feel those in a long time. I really hope this doesn't lead to something bad. Star is going to have his hands full with just surviving for a while. Serra... could very well be walking right into her death. Looks like the only real chance has to deal with Destin..."

Origin kept looking into his dark orb, watching everything that had taken place. He couldn't tell what people were thinking, but he could sense emmotions and the like through the orb.

"I really hope they stop them... I don't want to have to fight all these people alone... Battle Spirit God or not, I won't like the situation."

In a sudden flash of light, Star's and Seraph's power united. The fireball was sent back directly at Fallen Angel! Fallen Angel laughed for he did not receive damage... or so he tought.

Fallen Angel: "HAHAHA! I am immortal! I can NEVER be defeated! Hahahaha... err... *sniff!* *sniff!* What's that smell?"

Fallen Angel finally noticed that his wings were burning!

Fallen Angel: "Errr... AAAAAAAAAARG!"

Fallen Angel fled from the Colosseum, running at an insane speed while he catched on fire!

All the Anti-Exs exept Siryx began to laugh.

...

Siryx, him, hadn't noticed a thing.

Siryx *thinks* Oh and... I am mortal before being a servant of NeoBowser... in some situations, one must learn to let go of his friends and masters and let his heart dictate the way... NeoBowser can wait... He will understand. He must. NeoBowser is powerful... but he chose not to control my feelings and I shall respect his decision by not letting him change my feelings! Forgive me master... for I am going to commit the worst of all betrayals possible... again...

Siryx stared deep within Serra's eyes. He could see, thanks to the "Ex" blood in his veins, what were her feelings...

Siryx: "Serra... Let's forget our titles just for now..."

Siryx approached Serra...

Siryx: "We both have the blood of the "Ex" flowing in our veins and we both know what kind of power is turning us away from our respective missions... so let's forget them for a while... Allow me to show you the "Siryx" under the "Anti-Ex"."

Siryx unsheated Dark Weapon... and thrown it away. He did the same for all of his other weapons and equipment pieces.

Siryx: "Serra... I have thrown away all that made me into an Anti-Ex... all that made me so famous to the eyes of my friends. I have thrown away my possessions, denied my master and my friends... and no longer have anything. I would understand if you would turn away from me but please understand that whatever is your choice... my feelings are and will remain true. I love you, Serra."

Siryx's cheeks turned pink again. This is it! He had said it. Altought he had saw the feeling, he was especting her to turn away from him... which he would understand...

While neither Serra or Siryx could notice it, Siryx's Dark Weapon began to glow in a strange light...

Siryx's Dark Weapon was yet another of the 8 Essences! Siryx was one of the 8 good memories within the Chaos Heaven! What a shock... NeoBowser's very own second-in-command, a ruthless cold-blooded slaughterer... was one of the positive memories within this realm.

...

During this time...

...

As Maya and Luke approached the place where the mountain used to be, a shadow passed behind them... Already, pieces of the Chaos Heaven were starting to flow into their reality, replacing their world...

The pieces were not real enough to cause any damage... but they were real enough to inspire fear into the hearts of those who could sense them...

Star looked at the now running Fallen Angel. (hah I've been spelling that wrong the entire time) He was about to laugh, but he couldn't drop his guard. He looked right to the dark weapon Siryx had discarded, he was about to dash for it, but something told him not to. This was the dark weapons he needed to have, but should he take it. Seraph seemed so much more trust worthy and dependable. This new sword seemed somewhat forboding.

"I think its best if I talk to you first Seraph. Should I take the sword where it is, or just wait and see what happens?"


Destin's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe what he heard. He couldn't do anything as Serra seemed to be in an entirely different reality from him, but he had one idea. Destin began to walk forward, towards Siryx and Serra, planning to grab the Dark Weapon and use it to kill the other Anti Exs, but as he approached it something seemed wrong. A memory flashed in his mind.

"Never strike in anger, you'll just kill yourself or someone close to you."

Destin didn't reach for the sword, but rather just stood there by it.

"He... ro... why did you have to leave?..."

Destin looked towards Serra who had let all of the swords drop from her back, but the two essences were still on her. Destin just couldn't face it. Everything just seemed so odd.


Serra didn't know what to say or do, so she just let the swords fall from her back. She was about to discard the essences, but she thought better of it. The last thing she did was touch the hilt of her mother's sword, she took it from her waist and laid it in front of her. She was hoping she'd have thought of something to say by now, but she just couldn't speak. She wanted to accept it, yet at the same time didn't want to. A small part of her screamed to just run away from all of this, but she knew she couldn't. She just looked at Siryx, not sure what to do or say. As soon as his eyes made contact with hers, she forgot about the side that screamed to run away, and the side that screamed not to do it, and just looked at Siryx, trying to express a deep emmotion that she didn't know the words to.


"I can tell Serra and Destin have been by here. Star has to... Maya, we need to let them have all the time they can get."

Maya didn't need to hear the rest of what Luke had to say, she lined up with him as he took a harp out.

"I know. Lets put our souls into this one. We can't let this thing grow to big."

Luke nodded and began to play a very gentle tone on his harp. Maya did a slow dance and soon a giant seal appeared over the vortex. It wasn't an attempt to close it, but to calm it so it wouldn't grow or shoot anything out of it.

Seraph: "I do not know... this looks like Dark Weapon and yet... he... I mean, it looks so lame... Dark Weapon himself has some kind of noble, calm aura and has 4 blood-red eyes with a stare so intense it could shatter rock. This... on another hand... I'm not sure it's even conscious. Don't touch it."

...

Siryx smiled. All of his fear disappeared.

Siryx: "I know... you do not need to tell me... It's too obvious... for just like you, I can see it..."

Siryx hugged Serra and... !!! He kissed her?!?

Siryx: "There is no need for words..."

Siryx kept on staring. His eyes were litteraly filled with stars. Serra would have injected some kind of powerful love-inducing drug and it wouldn't have had that much of an effect.

...

The Anti-Exs turned to Siryx and stared in disbelief...

Lieutenant Shadow: "No... not again..."

Assassin: "He kissed her... I cannot compute this. What is his next personnal mission objective? Becoming her lover or something?"

Lieutenant Shadow: "Don't give him ideas! It's already disgusting enough to see our leader flirting with this... this... well... our enemy! I hope for his sake that he's faking it out!"

Assassin: "Negative. "Ex" beings can see the feelings of other beings. She has seen that he is sincere... and he saw that she is sincere. This WILL cause trouble."

Lieutenant Shadow: "Man! The boss is gonna be SO angry!"

Captain Dark: "Yo man yo! Let's yo retreat yo now!"

The Anti-Exs (excluding Siryx) ran away.

...

Siryx's Dark Weapon called to Destin... it was as if it was trying to tell him something but couldn't... unless Destin was to actually grab it.

...

During this time...

...

As Maya and Luke created the seal, it seemed to work for a while... but after a few seconds, it became obvious that the seal was actually having the opposite effect from what it should have had!

The positive energy enraged the creatures within the vortex and caused them to grow beserk!

The speed at which the shadows were coming out was multiplied several times and the shadows seemed MUCH more aggressive!

Unstead of merely floating, the shadows began to spin around the two and began to send them sad memories and terrifying nightmares, in an attempt to destroy the seal and defeat the mental will of the two.

Without even knowing it, the two had begun a mental fight against the collective strenght of ALL of the Evils within the Chaos Heaven... a very one-sided fight at that! How can two mortals stand up to the hatred of billions of legendary evil beings?... and even if there weren't many evil beings, the fact that they're now fighting to keep NeoBowser's hatred sealed was more than enough to break them down mentally.

Obviously, it was impossible that they would last long. In fact, it wasn't even sure if they could slow down the vortex...

Ex's voice echoed (?!?).

Ex: "Young mortals... you cannot do anything to slow down this thing. You are up against a power that even a god couldn't contain... but this Evil is not real... yet. It is a nightmare, a terrible memory of an ancient Evil... This Evil's weak point is that very vortex for it leads to it's very heart... but this quest is not yours, unfortunately. Already, Destin, Serra, Star, and a being named Bel are fighting the Evil, trying to erase this nightmare and prevent it from inflicting pain."

Ex paused.

Ex: "Trying to calm down this vortex won't do... but your powers aren't useless by any mean. Do not fight the vortex... do not fight the anomaly that threatens to swallow your world. You must fight the beings within the anomaly. Erase the hatred within the nightmares that flow from this anomaly... and you will definitely slow down the expansion of this anomaly."

Ex's voice disappeared.

Suddenly, all the negative energy that the nightmares had forced into Maya's and Luke's bodies was gone. In fact, they were completely filled with positive energy... They felt as if their powers would now have even more effect. The only thing was... on what should they use it since using it on the vortex will only anger further the nightmares?

"Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. This must be a fake one or something."

Star turned to see the three Anti-Exs retreating, and then he looked at the one remaining. Siryx. Star would have lashed out had he still been merged to the Time Elemental. Now he could see that this didn't involve him, and that he needed to track down the champ.

"Well, since Siryx didn't have it, the champ must have the real one. Think you know where he went? He wouldn't have ran away like all those people in the crowds, at least I hope. Ex beings don't seem that much more powerful than a humans potential."


Destin raeched out to the sword, he had to take it, he just knew it. There was no other way to make sure this essence was protected. He couldn't trust Serra with all of them now.


Serra let herself be embraced in the hug and returned the kiss. She couldn't think straight now and this was the only thing that seemed right. The entire thing just seemed right, why fight it? Something began to disturb Serra, some vauge thought that didn't take any real shape. She let it be washed away in her pure joy.

"I could stay like this all day..."


"Thanks... whoever you are... Well Maya, we are going to have to do something I'm not sure your ready for. You need to focus your dances power's onto certain things without making other things effected."

Maya looked a little concerned, but she stood up and looked around. Luke started playing his harp again, really loudly, washing over the land, but not hitting the vortex. Anything that was evil would hear the song and slowly be calmed and possibly cleansed. Maya began to dance, power emiting from each step, but it bypassed the shock wave and only aimed at the shadow figures.

There was no one in the crowd... exept maybe...

Yes! It was him! The champ, Rocks Drags, hiding beneath one of the seats like a wimp!

He was shivering in terror...

Rocks: "Oh my... oh my... an "Ex" being... an "Ex" being... I'm too young to die... life is too short!"

Rocks continued to cry like a baby while shivering. For some reason, the inhabitants of this world were REALLY scared of "Ex" beings... and I do not only mean a little bit scared... I mean, really, REALLY scared.

...

Siryx just kept on hugging and smiling... but then, an impleasant memory came to him... it was very vague and weak so it was easily washed away by his hapiness. Nothing, strictely nothing, would be able to break his joy as long as he knew that she loved him...

Siryx: "We need not to stand here all day... This Colosseum is so dark and depressing... Let us find a place filled with light and joy... Somewhere else where we could have some fun, like... well, I don't know! Anywhere where the beautiful light of the world can amplify your beauty beyond the fartest reaches of my imagination..."

Siryx stopped hugging and held Serra's left hand.

Siryx: "Let's go somewhere else... let us experience this new relationship in the most ways we can."

Siryx smiled. He was filled with toughts of going out with Serra at so many different places... they would have fun, a lot of fun... nothing could go wrong... but as he imagined himself with her, the impleasant tought came again... only to be crushed by his pleasant projects.

Suddenly, Ex's voice could be heard... but she spoke no words..

Ex: "*sigh!*"

Destin, Star, and Bel heard this... but to Serra's ears, the sound never came. Obviously, that scene was bothering Ex or something...

...

The vortex seemed to send shadows at a slower rate... and the shadows were somehow destroyed by the two's powers.

It was as if these things were so evil, so twisted that even the slightest positive energy input would cause them to collapse into nothingness. Obviously, they weren't very real yet if they could be destroyed so easily...

Star jumped onto the stand and looked down at Rocks.

"Hey how about you hand over that sword of yours so I can just go on with my life and you can go on with yours. If you keep it, they may come after you to get it, and I doubt they will spare you."

Star talked in a comforting voice, he didn't want to scare the champ away, or really have to kill him. It would be pointless when he could just get the sword so easily this way.


Destin held the sword and examined it. He had seen all 12 of the swords up close before and had even helped Hero make repairs to them. This sword didn't seem that much different, but its wierd appearence did set Destin off.

"I wonder what this thing even does?"

Destin tried to concentrate on it harder, trying to find what was really within the sword, what made it so... dangerous.


"Yes. Lets do that, but excuse me for a second... I can't leave the swords there..."

Serra barely moved and the swords were all on her back. They seemed to just teleport all at once. Serra grabbed Siryx hand and let him lead the way. She couldn't care less about everything going on around her.

"Ser...ra... be... care..ful.. NeoBowser... won't... just let... him... walk away..."

Serra heard the sword and stopped walking.

"We need to get somewhere so NeoBowser can't follow. I don't want you to be killed by him."

Serra looked at Siryx pleadingly, she really didn't want anything to happen to him.


"They aren't as strong as I though. We should just keep this up though, you never know what could happen."

Luke smiled as he saw that Maya completely ignored him. She was still learning how to get true magic from her dances, and it would require a lot of focus to do them. This just showed she was concentrated.

"You all better hurrry... I don't want to be left out here to long."

Rocks: "I... I... I'll do anything you want if you can get me away from that "Ex" being!... S... s... scary..."

...

Suddenly, thousands of angry voices assaulted Destin's soul! All the hatred that was within the sword was transferred into Destin. In about half-a-second, he saw all of Siryx's life... How he was so over-confident... how he fell to NeoBowser... how NeoBowser forced him into becoming an Anti-Ex... how he slaughtered entire Dimensions all by himself... and... how he rebecame good. He saw a being identical to Serra, exept that she was born an "Ex" being and had a different past. Siryx knew she was just one more victim and yet... there was something about her... Siryx and this being fell madly in love... and soon became lovers. However, in the end, Siryx was bound to NeoBowser's Life Force and his girlfriend found out that the only way to free him was trought death... and as such, she killed him... and then, she destroyed NeoBowser, freeing his soul and allowing him to rest in peace.

Destin also learned the name of this girl... it was Ex Lightheart!... and he found out something even more shocking! Travel trought Possibilities was physically impossible... and as such, only memories and souls can travel, being adapted to their own new versions in the new world.

It was then that it became obvious: Ex Lightheart and Serra were the same consciousness. It was why Serra had transformed so easily... she had merely switched to what she was in Ex's version of the world.

Serra... was this world's version of Ex Lightheart and was, as such, identical to her in every way... exept for the past.

However... there was something wrong. It was as if Ex was more real than anything else in this realm... as if this wasn't just a memory of Ex but rather... the real Ex.

There was also something wrong with the real Dark Weapon... as if NeoBowser had somehow robbed it of it's power or something...

As the Essence finished telling him this, memories stopped flowing. The sword stared deep within Destin's soul...

Soul Eraser: "I am... a Dark Weapon. They call me Soul Eraser for some reason... but in truth, I'm just a normal Dark Weapon who likes to eat souls. I don't care if people says that I'm fat... anyway. You're my wielder, right? Let me tell you something... that Siryx there is the only positive memory who can survive the trial of being robbed of his Essence, in this case, me... for Serra's love is sure powerful! However... I can tell that you're jealous. Are you her original boyfriend or something?"

...

Siryx didn't smiled. It was true...

Siryx: "Serra... I would like to ask me to bring you to your world, away from my master... but... I can't. I am a memory... a dream... and until my master's plan has been completed, I won't be real. However, being real won't bring me hapiness for my master is a terrible being. He will consume your world and when I'll finally be real, all that will be left of your world is sorrow and despair."

Siryx let go of Serra's hand.

Siryx: "I... I used to be something else than an Anti-Ex, Serra... I don't know why but I can just feel it... NeoBowser tried to erase it from my memory but... it is still here, hidden somewhere. I used to be... err... I no longer remember what is the word for the opposite of "Evil"... NeoBowser erased the word... but the definition is definitely here."

Siryx grabbed Serra's hand again.

Siryx: "Well... If we cannot flee to safety... I guess we will have to face this danger together! I am not afraid of my master. He is scary... but it is possible to overcome him. While there are only 8 good souls within this chaotic realm... NeoBowser lied when he said that all the other souls were evil. There are villages and cities full of neutral souls. The good within them was erased... but Evil couldn't corrupt them. We must seek them out for I know that my former friends will come after us. Let us come to the hidden bordaries of this chaotic realm!"

Siryx was about to lead Serra outside when he FINALLY noticed that Star, Bel, and Destin existed!

Siryx: "... Well... I guess that since they didn't ran away in terror upon seeing you... they must be your friends, isn't it? I guess it would be nice to bring them along."

Bel had been staring at Siryx and Serra since Siryx started to express his feelings.

Bel:

He then looked at Destin who seemed to be in another world or something.

Bel: Destin? Is something wrong? Yeah, I know that you

Destin gave a twisted smile as he stood staring at the sword. This was just like fighting in a war again. Thousands of people in a massive stuggle, all trying to kill each other. Every single one striving for life. This realm wasn't much more than a war, and the only way to end it... would be the death of the commanders.

"..."

Destin didn't say anything when the sword spoke, he had to think about the question. It was true that he was attracted to Serra before, but she'd always been stronger and made him feel ashamed of the feeling. Eventually he just thought of her as an older sister.

"No... I would be her younger brother."



"Just give me the sword and they'll all go away. You won't have to deal with any of."

Star tried to keep his cool. He was prepared to fight, although he didn't really want to, and he needed that sword.



"The young one over there, and that person over there."

Serra pointed to Destin and Bel.

"I know, but the other one I've never seen. I know Star was in this realm, but that isn't him. That is a human."

Serra waved to Destin and Bel, Destin looked up, but didn't come over. He did start to walk slowly, still thinking.

"Anyways... there is a way for you to exist outside of this relm, but it may take a while. The sword Wish, has the power to grant any wish. Its power was made to be ulimited, but in its new form it can't help anyone but good people. Beyond that, it should be able to carry your mind with it and create an identicle body in my realm. It saw Ex create this body, it should be able to just mimic that, but make a different body."

Rocks gave Dark Weapon to Star. Yes, it was THE Dark Weapon, the one and only! The one which Ex Lightheart used years ago to defeat NeoBowser...

...but there was something wrong. When Star grabbed Dark Weapon, no memories flowed trought him. No voice echoed in the corners of his mind... Dark Weapon's eyes opened... and while they seemed perfectly normal, you could feel as if Dark Weapon was... empty... as if it had been drained of it's very essence and soul.

...

Soul Eraser: "I see... a supressed feeling... It is useless to lie to me, I can see your soul and read your toughts as if you were an open book. Anyway... Forget about those impleasant memories for a important task is before you. You must keep Siryx from wielding me again... for I am the key to the Castle of Origins, the link to NeoBowser. The one who wields me is automatically possessed by NeoBowser... if he has been "touched", that is. As such, you are immune to this vile curse... but Siryx is not. Whatever you do, do not let him wield me..."

...

Siryx: "Destin and Bel, isn't it? Glad to meet you. The friends of such a wonderful person as Serra can only be wonderful persons themselves."

Siryx stared at Star... he sensed he had met him somewhere else... but couldn't remember exactely where and when.

Siryx: "You... Do I... know you? You seem familiar... I feel as if we had met before..."

Bel: Umm, sure. Glad to meet you too, Siryx.

Bel thought: "He has gone totally insane. It
