Blackwell dragged Michelle out of the back of the castle. He was getting tired of this woman. He thought about throwing her into the lava.
Aramis, and the group came out from the castle. Blackwell and Michelle were a few meters away. The land was soon to end and a cliff was just ahead. Michelle got excited when she saw them. "Aramis!" she shouted. Blackwell turned around and dropped her. Michelle got up and ran to them.
"So," he said, "The coward has come to face me."
"I'm not a coward," Aramis said.
"Oh, I saw how you fleed and left the others to fend for themselves."
"Some people change," Aramis replied, "More than others. I'm a different person, I'm back and I'm gonna take you down."
Blackwell started laughing. He held up his right arm and a silver sword of negativity appeared. He held up his left arm and a shield with a skull upon it appeared. He walked toward Aramis. Aramis walked toward him. They stopped two feet from each other.
"Let's see how you can fight on unstable ground. This volcano is going to erupt, if I lose. Either way, you will lose." He started laughing. The ground began to tremble.
Aramis swung his sword. Blackwell countered it. The sword struck his shield. Bolts of neutral energy flew out. Blackwell kicked up and hit Aramis in his chest. Aramis was pushed six feet across the ground. He landed close to the cliff. Blackwell jumped and landed next to him. "An easy victory." He raised his sword and plunged it down on Aramis. Aramis quickly rolled away. He jumped up and swung at Blackwell. His sword cut Blackwell's arm. Blackwell retreated. He soon came to a rock bridge which lead across to a small piece of land surrounded by lava. He laughed and ran across it. Aramis followed him.
Blackwell stopped in the center, ready for defence. Aramis stopped in front of him.
"You can't defeat me," Blackwell said. "Evil never dies. If you kill me, then you will no longer be innocent and you will become me."
Aramis backed up. The ground began to shake strongly. The land bridge crumbled and fell into the lava.
Morpheus and the group ran up to the cliff. "Don't let him trick you," Morpheus shouted. "He's a master of manipulation."
Blackwell smiled. His razor sharp teeth sparkled. "Come on, strike me down, and become my heir."
Aramis lowered his sword. His eyes twinkled, "I don't think so, I will never be like you. I shall transend the nonsense of my roots. I am limitless. I have no boundries. I can move beyond what has been programmed into me by society. I will excel the limitations of my heritage, and become what they haven't the strength to be."
Blackwell's smile faded. "You fool, what are you talking about." He ran quickly up to Aramis and punched him. Aramis landed on the edge of the small island.
Blackwell lowered over him and place his hands around his neck. Blackwell laughed as Aramis struggled to get aloose. "How will you get out of this? Who will save you now?"
A warm glowing light came floating behind Blackwell. Child hands grabbed Blackwell's head and pulled him backwards. Blackwell hit the ground with a thump.
Aramis looked up at the child. "Pocky!" he shouted. Pocky smiled and turned toward Blackwell. Blackwell stood up a little disorientated. Pocky jumped on him. Blackwell stuggled to get him off. Pocky pulled him toward the edge.
Aramis shouted at him. "Pocky, what are you doing?"
Blackwell lost him balance and began to fall into the lava. Pocky let go and floated above him. Blackwell screamed and fell into the lava. A huge flame flew upward. The flames went around Pocky.
Pocky lowered down to Aramis. He reached out his hand. Aramis took ahold. They floated up to the group of friends whom were waiting.
Michelle flung her arms around Aramis. "Oh, Aramis," she said. She kissed him.
Aramis looked at Pocky. "How did you come back?"
The ground began to shake violently.
"I don't have time to explain. We have to get out of here."
