''Well, if you're confused then it probably won't work..''    
Zelda said, ''Though I guess I can try to unconfuse my       
thinking..umm..okay, what I was thinking is, can we focus   
part of the dreamworld to look like say a group of CFs and  
have that image, that 'dream' to appear in the physical     
world, realistically to the Vile? Hey, what is that         
Krakken?''
''Or, well, I can see it's a rusted box, but what's in it?''  
Zelda asks, making an effort to be more clear.                                                                        
 ''I don't know; and, to be honest, I'm afraid to know.   
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of what's in it, I   
don't even know what it is.  What I'm afraid of is knowing  
what it is.''   
''What do you mean? Where'd you get it?'' Zelda asked, looking
nervously at the box.           
   ''I sort of... found... it in those old Vile caves by the
castle.  It was just... something that happened, with the   
poison and... stuff...''  'Why is this subject so difficult  
to talk about?'     
''Well..it might prove useful.''
Rupay started to nod in understanding at Zelda's idea,
 ''Oh, like have them hallusinate, but connected so they see
the same thing? That's mind control, one of my many          
talents.'' Rupay says.                                      

ONE HOUR LATER                  
                            
The CFs head out to the courtyard where the Red Star  
and Rebel Jet sit in wait.                                  
''All aboard who's going aboard!'' Pyro says.  The CFs who're 
going with Pyro begins to move towards it.  UA and Entropy  
look at it quizzically.                                     
''Uh, guys, what're you boarding?'' UA asks.                  
''The Red Star.  My ship.  What else?''                       
''But...there's nothing there.'' Entropy says.                
''What?''                                                   
''He's right.  I see just the castle wall.'' UA adds.         
''You two are blind!'' Pyro exclaims.  ''My ship is sitting    
right here where I left it.  Don't you think I know my own  
ship?''  Pyro walks up the ramp and into the ship.  ''WOAH!''  
is heard from inside.  Suddenly, the ship disappears and the
ramp falls on the ground next to Pyro.  ''What the #!@$)@!''  
BOOM!  The CFs turn to the front wall which has just been   
destroyed.  Through the brown smoke, UA walks through.      
''Honey, I'm home!''  Vile start pouring in from behind him.  
''It's an ambush!'' Zelda excalims.                           
''Once again you've stated the obvious.'' Zealen says.        
''CFs, ATTACK!''  
                                            
  Because UA wants Eme to stay behind, she hides in the     
woods to sneak aboard, determining if she should morph into 
a small animal to do so or not. Then she hears the sounds of the battle. She
jumps out, making it look like she came from the castle, and
beats up Vile booty. 

''Oh crap'' exclaims Nity ''Celestial Razis Crystal POWER!!!''  
Three sharp red flashes of light and Nity becomes Razis.    
The Vile swarm around them.                                 
''How did they get so close without us detecting them?!'' yells 
Razis. Three Vile come at him he flips into the air and     
smashes his foot into the face of a Vile coming from behind
the Vile's face smashes in and he shatters into dust.       
As Razis' feet hit the ground he instantly swings out his   
foot catching a second Vile in the back of the new caps and 
it loses balance falling back on another Vile, they shatter 
when they hit the ground, Vile dust is quickly sweeping     
through the air.   
 Another squadren of Vile instantly surronds him in a tight   
circle ''Razis Cuncussion SWEEP!!!'' He aims his hand to the  
ground and a quick white beam blast into it sending a shock 
wave across the ground him within a five foot radius.       
The shakeing ground knocks the Vile off there feet and they 
land on there backs.                                        
Razis flips into the air and slams down into the stomach of 
one then bounceing off of it into the air and smashing into 
a second one and so on till the five Vile have been smashed.
Razis notices four Vile standing infront of the gapeing hole
in the wall of the castle as if they were guarding          
something.                                                  
''Let's see what you guys are hideing.'' Razis says only loud   
enough for him to hear. He jumps into the air and blast off 
towards the Vile guards when suddenly his leg is caught in a
tight grasp totally stoping his momentum and he slams back  
into the ground below. The grasp around his leg is released 
and Razis rolls over to see his attacker, the evil UA.      
''Your not going anywhere hermit boy.'' EUA's hand shifts
into a huge mallet ready to smash Razis. 
 
 ''Hm.''  Entropy says, smiling as a group of Vile swarm     
around him.  ''Hope you guys like dealing with big game!''    
Suddenly, Entropy shifts his form into that of a gigantic   
metallic 4-headed hydra.  He grabs a Vile in each of his    
jaws, one claw swipe sending another pack of them out the   
hole in the wall.  He tears through the swarm, crushing Vile
underfoot as he makes his way to EUA.  He cranes his    
neck to look up as the gigantic hydra towers over him.    
  ''Whoa.''  He says, then dives away moments before one head 
nearly grabs him.  All 4 heads make a huge battle roar, then
breath flaming clouds of blue, red, green and black all     
across the battlefield, bathing all Vile nearby in flames.  
he then shifts back to his human form, sword out and        
activated.  He charges through the remaining Vile, turning  
them to dust on the wind with each strike of his blade.     
Suddenly, a new item appears in his hand.  A small throwing 
knife presents itself, then is flung into the head of the   
nearest Vile.  The creature, barely hurt, takes it out,     
looking at it for a moment.  It never feels a thing as the  
knife explodes, leaving a small crater.  Entropy smiles,    
making his way over to Tala.  ''You all right?''  he yells,   
cleaving a nearby Vile in two. 
Tala yells back, ''Just Fine!''                                                
 after phasing through one of the Vile that had 
tried to grab her. She takes a hold of it's arm, and slings into 
another Vile. A few moments later, both of them are lifted  
high into the air, then fall back to the ground, breaking   
apart like some of the others. Tala glances around, trying to    
guess how many others are around her.                       
 She ducks down to use a sweeping kick as another runs past,    
then it is soon dispatched as well.                         
 Tala stands up again, moving over to Entropy, two are better    
then one, after all. 

''IMAGINATION DEENA POWER!'' Rupay said, transforming. Being
better at using her other senses, she is able to detect a    
Vile. ''MIND CRUNCH!'' She says, aiming at one.

Entropy swings his sword in a wide arc as several Vile draw closer, 
the lot of them crumbling at its touch.  He targets a few   
lead Vile and fires with his sword, the black lances of     
energy downing them where they stand.  He turns to Tala.    
''Behind me, now!''  She quickly does, and he points his sword
at the onrushing horde.  He chants a few inscrutable words, 
and a beam flashes out from his pendant, transfers into his 
sword, and fires, a huge scythe of energy carving into the  
Vile, annhilating the majority of the ones nearby.          
  ''Impressive.''  Tala says as Entropy continues fighting.   
  ''We aim to please.''   

Ganthet draws his sword, ''TODAY IS  A GOOD DAY TO DIE!'' He  
yells taking advantage of his amplified harmonics.  The     
energy wave dissruption the Vile, causing 90 % of the       
remaining ones to blur with vibrations, then vanish.
                                                            
Zelda quickly transformed to Rydia and used her water vortex
on a few of the Vile.  Then she took out a few reagents,    
''Por Ort Grav!'' she called, reaching towards the sky.  This 
brought down a bluish lightining bolt partly formed of her  
own energy.  This she brought on top of a single Vile, though
it was aimed at only one, the power the eminated from it    
also destroyed one ring around that Vile and injured the    
next ring out.  

UA destroys about his 100th Vile and still sees more coming.
He backs up to where the recently freed Nity is.            
''What did you guys do to the defense systems?''              
''Nothing.  They're still active as far as I know.'' Nity     
answers.                                                   
''Then it must be something else.''                           
''Damn straight.'' UA says.  He morphs his arms into two      
titanium spikes and stabs two necks.  Entropy morphs back,  
both his shoulder temporarily wounded.  ''That's because I   
have a spy in your ranks, and you'll never guess who!''  UA  
gives Entropy a vericle kick, knocking him out, then whaps  
Tala in the back of the head with his hand as a mallet.     
''Ta!''  He 'ports away.                                      
''Terrific.'' UA says.  He jumps over a couple of Vile and    
makes his way to Ganthlet.  ''G, hold off our little secret  
as much as you can.  Maybe we can still win out of this.''   
''Understood.''                                               
~I just wish I knew where my other went.~ UA thinks as he     
destroys two more Vile.                                     
                                                            
MEANWHILE.

T.I.M. finally found Eme, ''I have been ordered by UA
to take you to shelter.  Please follow.''                    
''Nu-uh.  I have to defend my kingdom.''                      
''I'm afraid I'll have to insist.''  He clamps a collar around
her neck.                                                   
''What?''  She tries to use her abilities...nothing.  T.I.M.  
attatches a hook to it and begins to drag her along.        
''Do not make me hurt you, ma'am.''  As they leave,
Kyle steps out in front of them.                            
''Hold it, bub.  Only place yer goin' is th' scrap heap.''    
''Guess again, sir.''  He fires a missile at Kyle.  He erects 
a TK shield and sends the missile right back, destroying    
T.I.M.  The body falls to the ground.                       
''C'mon.  We got a fight t'--'' Kyle falls to the ground.  UA 
stands over him, smiling.  Eme steps back.                  
''Aw, is my liddle Emiekins aww powerless?''  He jumps over to
her.  ''Gimme some sugar, baby.''  
He bends her back and kisses her, also injecting something into her arm.  
She fights herself away and then punches him.  He stands there  
and rubs his chin.  ''Nice shot.  But remember, I'm not as   
weak as your little love-cuddle.  Oh yeah, I know about     
that, thanks to my little ex-spy here.'' he motions to T.I.M.
 ''But now, I have a better one because I just re-injected   
you with the black serum.  You're back on our side, and     
you're going to do as told.''                                
''No, nev--''  FZZAMP!  They're gone.   
''I can do it, but if I start to get weak, I might need 
energy to sustain it''
                                                            
Rydia looked around, the other CFs were doing pretty well   
against the Vile, but still..there were so many... Plus she 
couldn't think of any ideas of how to modify the            
'hallucination' plan to help them. What scared the Vile?    
''Ack!'' she said as she suddenly realized she was            
detransforming, ''Wha--?'' it seemed that Phyllite had made a 
duplicate of her Crystal nulifier Soon the rest of the CFs Crystals
were nulified, whatever powers they held. ''Dissonance...''   
Zelda muttered thinking of casting a firefield spell, but   
that one was very hard for her plus it had awful sideeffects
since fire was the opposite of her Crystal focus. She also  
knew it would still be a few months before she regained     
enough spell-power and energy for her system to withstand   
the summoning of a dragon.  Finnaly she decided to cast her 
freeze spell, it worked on only one of the Vile, but still  
it did work.  Directly after casting it though another of   
the Vile caught her offguard and left a cut along her arm.  
Quickly she tied it up, but the wound was deep enough to    
prevent her from comfortably using that arm.

The new evil Kyle walks out of the hole in the wall of the  
castle. He tosses a object in his hand up and down.         
It is the Crystal Nullifier.                                
''Hello boys and girls'' EKyle snaps his fingers and the
Vile stop there attack and walk to his side.                
''You ugly piece of--'' Pyro is cut off.                     
''Ahh ahh no need for that kind of language'' says EKyle. ''And
let me tell you now, don't try to attack me now. My power is  
way beyond what you can even imagine, your Crystals have been nullified; 
resistance is 
futile.'' he laughs.                                          
Zarina moves at him ''Zarina Fire Heart BLA...''              
Kyle sends a thin TK blast beam with pinpoint accuracy right
at Zarina's crystal which hangs on a necklace around her    
neck.                                                       
The Crystal explodes and Zarina dissapears into Limbo for   
eternity. 
''Noooooo!!!'' screamed Zarina's mentor, Ryliann. Her staff   
pulled from her back seemingly becomeing apart of her as she
swung it through the air with such grace. The staff         
connected into the side of Kyle's head.              
''Grrr'' Kyle shot a TK blast at Ryliann. She twirled her     
staff createing some kind of shield that TK blast deflected 
off of and came back to hit Kyle. Kyle stumbled back wards  
dissoriented, he had put a lot into the blast.              
Ryliann rushed and stabbed at Kyle with the staff. The end  
of the staff caught him in the temple and he fell hard.     
Rage screamed through Ryliann's mind it was time to finish  
this guy off.                                               
Suddenly a lazer blast caught her arm, an unsuspected       
attack, she droped the staff which clatterd to the ground.  
T.I.M. stood a few dozen yards away looking as good as new. 
Kyle had regained himself and caught Ryliann by suprise with
a strong TK blast.                                         
''Maybe you would like to visit your friend!'' yelled Kyle     
erecting a portal behind Ryliann which engulfed her, she was   
gone.                                                       
''Stop this!'' the good Kyle emerged and stared down the evil  
Kyle. ''Why don't we have a real fight, you and me, to the    
DEATH!''                                                      
''Lets do it.'' agrees evil Kyle his black robe fluttering in  
the wind.  
WHAP!  Kyle falls with EUA standing over him, smiling.      
''You destroyed my spy, so now I'm gonna have to work even   
faster.  Thanks for nothing, punk.''  He gives him a sharp   
kick in the ribs and then 'ports away.                      

Tala stumbles forward, the hit not totally knocking her  
out, instead, it just makes her dizzy. She decides that it would
best to sit down for a few moments..perhaps the world would 
stop spinning then.                                         
 She closes her eyes for a few moments, wishing her balance was 
back. She half-opens her eyes, seeing that the fighting it still 
going, then turns to check on Entropy. If she could get him 
up, they'd have a better chance. However, she had this bad  
feeling about something, but couldn't place a finger on it  
just yet.
  ''Ooogh...''  Entropy groans as he awakens.  Suddenly his   
pendant starts flashing, a collection of lights appearing on
its surface.  Four suddenly extinguish.  ''Oh shit..''  Tala, 
noticing this, looks at him quizically as she helps him up. 
''It's a CF roll caller, for lack of a better term.  It keeps
track of all the immediate CFs in the area.  The first two  
were for Zarina and Ryliann, but the others...''  He suddenly
holds up his pendant, chanting something for a second.  A   
hologram of Zarina, then Ryliann appears, followed by TIM,  
and Eme. ''Damn it!''  He yells, then winces with pain as he  
grabs for the wound in his shoulder.  He goes up to UA as   
quickly as he can.  ''UA, bad news.  They killed TIM, and    
they got Eme.  I'm not sure where, but-''  Before he can     
finish, evil UA appears, grabs Entropy and Tala, and vanishes.   
                                                            
SOMEWHERE DARK
                                                            
  ''Rise and shine, Mr. Salander.''  Says a voice.  Entropy   
awakes restrained to a chair, with Tala nearby in the same  
predicament.  ~No good can come of this...~ he says to      
himself, and is awarded with a slap in the face.  Looking   
up, he is met with none other than Phyllite.  ''Oh, Entropy. 
I thought you had better taste than this.''  She points to   
Tala.  ''This little harlot over me?  Please.''               
  ''At least she has a heartbeat.''  Entropy sneers.          
  ''Hm.  You know, I always did like it when you got angry.'' 
  ''Save the memories for someone who won't kill you once he 
gets out of his bonds.''                                     
  ''Guard?''  Phyllite asks.  A huge shock fires through      
Entropy, searing his nerves with pain.  As he recovers,     
Phyllite stares him in the face, smiling a bit.  He sneers, 
and spits in her face.  She wipes it off, keeping her anger 
in check.  ''I'll deal with you later.  Now, goodbye.  I do  
hope you enjoy cold nights.''                              
  ''I did every night I was with you, why shouldn't I now?''  
Phyllite scowls, storming out. 
                                                            
BACK AT THE CASTLE
                                               
UA looks at the security system as the battle rages.  The   
whole thing is smashed.  He sighs and quickly begins to work
on it.

OUTSIDE   
                                                  
Kyle aims the weapon at them all.  then, tosses it away.    
''I don't need no stinkin' gun t'deal with you losers.       
First, th' psis.''  His eyes glow and all the people with    
psionic powers fall back, unconscious, and bleeding from the
mouth.  ''Next, the normal guys.''  His eyes glow again and   
some are nervously frozen, knocked out, or turned into      
cowering children.  ''An' finally, you!'' he says, pointing at
Ganthet.  His eyes glow again, but nothing happens.        
''I am not going to be as easy as the others, evil one.'' he  
sneers.  ''You, however, will.''  Suddenly, his body is       
shattered through by Phyllite's staff.  THE staff.          
''You fool.  Quit wasting time!  Let's finish them now!''  She
turns to Zelda and lifts up the pointy end.  
Zelda, unlike the others with psi powers, had withstood Kyle's blast.
Invulentarily she had been able to protect herself from it, or, from some
of it.
''Die,          
goody-good!'' Phyllite yelled with a sneer.
Nity watches frozen in place. He sees as Zelda faces        
definite doom and something ignites from inside him.        
Not quite something of his own but something that almost    
seems to have been implanted there. It makes him have to    
protect Zelda. It is the one thing that has meaning to him at
the moment.                                                 
Nity's body begins to shudder with power and sheer will and 
then Kyle's power on him shatters like glass. He regains the
function of his limbs.                                      
In three quick bounds Nity is on Phyllite pounding her face 
in with two tight fist that erupt with fury.                
A Vile moves in to halp its master. Nity graps the staff    
from Phyllite's hand he swings it at the Vile and it        
explodes when the staff touches its skin.                   
Kyle shoots out small beams of TK blasts. Nity bats them    
away with the staff as if he were playing baseball.         
Then he sees the Crystal Nullifier resting in one of Kyle's 
robe pockets.                              
Nity lets the staff fly with great acuracy. The staff hits  
it dead on and the nullifier explodes.                      
''Celestial Razis Crystal POWER!!!!'' 

    Ignoring Phyllite-- there as no reason why he should    
care for Zelda's life-- Kyle leapt for EKyle, his golden   
eyes blazing.                                               
    Smirking, EKyle formed an impenetrable TK shield  
around the area where he was standing.  Kyle PENETRATED IT. 
At the peak of his momentum, his hurtling body reached EKyle 
and flowed into his head.                            
    Kyle whipped his head around, taking in his             
surroundings: black, decaying trees bled thin pools down    
their trunks; the stench of death filled the air like some  
unholy insence; he was inside EKyle's mind.  And he wasn't 
alone.                                                   
    Gigantic hands exploded out of the ground, followed by  
shoulders, a grinning physique, and a massive body.  EKyle   
 grinned down from his lofty elevation at the invader.
The battle was joined. His forehead tingling, the unnatural stiffness left 
Krakken's limbs.  He looked around and saw that the other   
CFs were losing their paralysis; EKyle was losing his      
concentration.
''Oh no y'don't!'' Kyle says.    
''Evil is stronger than good when it comes t'psi powers,     
buddy.''                                                     
''Yeah, but I c'n still kick yer kiester!''  They begin to    
tussel.  A blue T.I.M. flies by the CFs.                    
''T.I.M., where you going?'' Zealen asks.  He flies up to the 
Vile.                                                       
''What are you waiting for?  Attack!''  The Vile look at each 
other, then jump together.  They begin to liquify and meld  
into each other...and they get bigger.                      
''Uh, oh.  I was afraid of this!'' Pyro says.  They're now    
looking at a GIANT VILE! 

EVIL KYLE'S MIND

   The giant EKyle slammed a hard fist 
towards his smaller counterpart, grinning evily.  Kyle      
didn't manage to completely dodge the blow, feeling 
the crunch as it glanced off of his shoulder.  'This'll     
probably killme, but...'  Ignoring the dreadful knowledge of
what he was doing to his brain, Kyle saw everything else    
shrink; or was he growing larger?                           
    ''You pale reflection.  I've always been th' real one. Me!''                                                  
Kyle winced as he was thrown to the ground, hearing the 
chuckles of EKyle resounding in his ears.  It was no  
good; this was EKyle's mind, it was by his rules that they 
played.  As Kyle dug his hands into the ground to get up, he
saw his evil counterpart wince in agony.  That was it!  The 
ground... the whole world they were in... was made out of   
the fabric of EKyle's mind.  All he had to do was damage it
enough...  

SOMEWHERE DARK

Entropy sighs deeply, looking up at the ceiling as Tala     
begins to awaken.  ''I'm sorry, Tala.  I didn't mean to get  
you involved in all this.''
Tala chuckles, rather wryly, one might think.                    
 ''What are friends for?''   
She glances over to him, then up to the celing as well,     
wondering what he's looking at. After a few moments, she    
just shakes her head slightly, and looks down at her bonds, 
wondering if she'd be able to work them loose enough for her
to be able to get free. As she tries, without using her     
powers, she glances towards Entropy again.                  
 ''You know..I'm starting to really dislike chairs. This is  
what..the third time?'' 
Entropy Closes his eyes, smiling to himself.  ''Hm.  So it would     
seem.''  Suddenly, blades sprout from his arms, cleaving the 
bonds from the chair and freeing him.  ''Unfortunately,      
however, Phyllite appears to have forgotten I'm a           
shapeshifter.''  He then goes over to her chair, doing the   
same thing.  ''Better?''  He asks, smiling again.  However, as
he then tries to get to the door, he stops.  ''Uh oh.''       
  ''What?''  He sticks a finger out, reaching towards what    
appears to be only air, when a spark suddenly appears.      
''Localized forcefield.  Whole base is full of them.  Which  
would probably mean that's where we are.  It's around all   
possible entrances or exits, even the vents are filtered    
with these.  I doubt we're getting out soon.''               
  ''Perfect.''                                                
  ''Ow.''  He says as he touches the forcefield again.        
  ''What are you doing?''                                     
  ''Checking for weak points. Ow.''                           
  ''In a forcefield?''                                        
  ''Yep.  Ow.'' 

Razis watches the physical expresions of the Kyles, it locked like they
were fighting mentally..or..something.
~I hope you can defeat that guy yourself Kyle, because I'm  
not willing to help the likes of you~ thinks Razis, he still
doesn't trust or like Kyle because of what he did in the     
past. Razis for once seemed unchracteristicly a lot like    
Nity on the matter.                                         
Razis turns and jumps a the giant Vile shooting a large     
fireball at its head.  

EVIL KYLE'S MIND

 Crackling energy flowed out of Kyle's hands and    
into the ''ground.''  EKyle winced, biting through his tongue
in pain.  As the electric shocks continued to flow into the 
fabric of his mind, he trembled more and more violently.    

OUTSIDE
                                                            
    Looking up, Krakken noticed a small wisp of smoke       
flowing out of E Kyle's head.  The head seemed to shrink    
slightly, as if the energies within it were concentrating   
themselves.  A moment later, E Kyle's head exploded.  
''What--?'' she started to ask,
looking around and quickly closed her eyes again as she     
glimsed the remenents of EKyle. ''Is everyone all right?'' she
asked instead, starting to get up as she opened her eyes    
again, averting them.  

SOMEWHERE DARK

Tala Frowns thoughtfully, watching him poke at the air. If it was
only the doorways, vents, and whatnot..perhaps they wouldn't
have the walls covered as well. She hadn't tried to phase   
through a forcefield..but there was a first time for        
everything, right?                                         
 She reached out to touch the air as well, then drew her    
hand back at the first sting. Great. She'd have to          
concentrate for this. She tried again, this time, her hand  
slipping through it, intangable. If anything was to break   
her thought though, she'd be stuck. She moved slowly,       
quietly, until she was halfway through it.                  
 With her free hand, she grabbed Entropy's other one,       
earning a ''Hey!''                                         
 She placed a finger to her lips, telling him without words 
to kindly be quiet, and then, finally got him through it.   
 She didn't relax though, instead, she poked her head out,  
to see if the coast was clear. Nothing seemed to be coming, 
so she led him into the hallway, and they both returned to  
normal.                                                     
 Sighing, she closed her eyes for a moment, then took a deep
breath, and looked at him again. ''You know the way around.. Get us outta 
here.''  
   
OUTSIDE

The Giant Vile gives a kick to Krakken and sends him flying 
into the castle wall.  THe CFs begin to converge on it and  
start to fight, meanwhile the Kyles exchange psionic blows. 
Evil Kyle throws a TK blast, sending Kyle flying into       
another wall.  Kyle jumps and psi-kicks EKyle.  He steps    
back.                                                       
''Yer weak, pal.  Bein' good made y'go soft.''                
''Bein' good is gonna help me kick yer kiester, pally.''  Kyle
grabs his jacket, and flies them high up into the sky.    
  
Meanwhile, the giant Vile grabs Nity and Zealen and smashes 
them together.  It drops them, then launches a fireball at  
the CFs.  They dodge it.                                    
''I didn't know Vile could do that!'' Kisuitsu says.          
''They can do anything.  It's in their genetic codes!'' Pyro  
shouts as they avoid more fireballs. 
 
MEANWHILE
                                                   
The evil UA makes way through the castle, setting down      
little black boxes.  He covers every room, then looks out a 
back window towards the CF tower in the distance.
