Zion could feel the energy of both Retan and Jayce vanish. "Is it... over?"
Tsu was puzzled. He gave Zion one of his spare elixirs, because he could see that he was real tired. "What happened?"
Zion gulped down the elixir, then sighed. "Retan and Jayce... Their energies are gone..."
Xenai had felt it too. "No... no, no, no... This can't be happening...! This is your fault!" He pointed his finger at Zion, who floated down to a nearby, tiny island, and put Tsu down there. Zion looked back up at his nemesis. "My fault? All I did was destroy Neptra."
"I'm going to tear you to shreds!!!"
"I'm feeling quite a bit of animosity towards you as well right now."
Both warriors brought out their weapons, going into their ready stances, and glaring at each other, powering up to their fullest potential. Their auras pushed and pulled against each other.
Tsu watched from the little island. Looking up at Xenai, he noticed something on the back of his neck, that Zion did not have. Upon noticing this, Tsu fell to one knee, with his hand on the ground. Something had invaded his head...
<span style='color:blue'>Remove it.</span>
What? Remove it?
<span style='color:blue'>The three of you have a very important role to play.</span>
What does that thing on his neck have to do with it?
<span style='color:blue'>It makes him evil.</span>
Are you saying he's not normally evil?
<span style='color:blue'>He was supposed to develop ideas that were different from Zion's, but not so much to the extreme that he has now.</span>
What role do the three of us have together?
<span style='color:blue'>In time, you'll know.</span>
Whatever was in Tsu's head, it had finally left. Tsu got to his feet, stumbled a bit, then looked to Xenai. He unsheathed Kuon Yaiba, and as he looked at the symbol on the back of Xenai's neck, the white light came again. "HAAAAA!!!" He jumped up at Xenai, which was quite a ways up, shooting past him with Kuon Yaiba out at his side. The symbol on Xenai's neck split in two, and fell off.
Xenai's eyes went blank. He powered down, and dropped, going unconscious. The white light around Tsu's body faded.
"What the...?" Zion flew over, grabbing Tsu from the air, and just letting Xenai hit the tiny island with a thud. Zion took Tsu back to the island, set him down, and looked at Xenai. "What did you do to him?"
(And that's the end of the chapter for these guys.)
