Chapter 18 - The Duality Of Emotions CH.18

'brother!' Says Zane, his breath slowly disappearing, as his lungs begin to cramp.. he looks towards Drak who is lying, covered in snow.. 'I'm still not sure how I feel...' he then turns back towards Snowy, who is slowly limping towards him through the thick snow.. 'I want to act like my brother.. but yet deep down I know I'm not..' his breath begins to fade slowly, as his breaths begin to grow into pants... 'I have no clue what to do.. and because of that I tri- tried to act l-like my brother.. was that a good choice? I feel like only my brother would know..'

He takes one more glance back at the Snowgeezer, who's claw reaches closer to him.. 'brother..'

Swish. 'huh?' there Zane lay, in shock, as Snowy had suddenly appeared across to his left.. he wasn't dead? As he looked up towards the Snowgeezer.. there it stood.. with it's entire arm chopped off.. where? How? When? These thoughts rushed through his mind which was still damaged.. but that pain suddenly wept away as every pain in his body began to go away.. was he only imagining this? No.. There he stood.. most of his injuries healed, as black and red aura seem to flow naturally around him..

The black aura slowly morphed into.. Drak? His body seemed to flow with black and red aura.. And Snowy's body seemed to flow with cold, ice aura.. 'this feeling.. Drak? Snowy? I can feel you both... It's almost like.. you've split into my two emotions?'

Zane, instinctively then reaches forwards towards Snowy, before it slowly began to glide towards Zane, as it body almost seemed to flow like pure water, it was slowly absorbed by Zane.. 'Snowy.. you're the cold side of me.. my shield..' he then reaches towards Drak, who is also slowly absorbed by Zane.. 'And Drak.. my ambitious, and careful side.. my sword..'

'I tried to ignore both alter-egos, I always thought that my cold side was merely an act.. and that my other side was my true self.. but I was wrong. I don't have "two emotions", I had merely had to adapt to my brother going missing.. after all this time.. my "two emotions" were actually combined! And with this new power.. I understand that now..'

'Drak will heal any injuries I make, as my careful side, and Snowy will protect me with pure power.. everything is straight now.. I.. am myself.'

There Zane stood, both Drak and Snowy's aura surrounding him, before Draks aura slowly departs, leaving Snowy's icy aura to launch towards the Snowgeezer.. Zane begins to follow behind, leaving a ice-trail behind him, as he manages to swoop behind the monster, whom quickly covers it's backside with ice shards again.. 'Not this time.. This is too easy.' Zane says, once again regaining his cool, and sharp mind.

He then reaches out his hand, before shooting out mini shards from Snowy's aura that surrounds him. As he bends the aura around him, he manages to create a larger blast, after the previous shards fail. 'This is quite easy.' the large blast of aura launches towards the monster, before coming back towards Zane, whom is now on the floor.. 'So this aura around me must be Snowy.. and I can control it? Cool, I suppose.'

Now that the spot is revealed, the monster begins to slowly reach it's arm behind its back, to block it's weak-spot, but this time the thick layers of fur couldn't withstand Zane's sharp attacks, as he reaches out one finger, as most of Snowy's Aura begins to surround it, forming one glowing ball, which then release due to the huge amount of pressure, it becomes a sharp beam of ice, that completely shreds through the Snowgeezer..

Shang.

Dead, there the Snowgeezer was. Dead. Zane had won.. But instead of letting his ego get the best of him, he rushes towards the kid.. but as he kneels down towards him.. he attempts to reach to the boy, in attempts of saving him..

^°=|÷¥}€§

A weird aura had seemed to stop Zane from reaching the boy..

Zane begins to push harder, but the dark purple aura begins to grow larger, resulting in Zane being pushed back.. but yet he persisted, bringing out Drak in the process, revealing the black and red aura once again.. 'Please assist me Drak!' shouts Zane, who is struggling against the aura, but with the help of Draks power, he manages to battle it, and as he translates Draks aura towards his hands, he manages to make a glove of Draks aura, in order to reach into the boys aura.. 'Cmon! If I don't save him now.. he'll be dead!' But as Zane began to struggle even more.. due to Drak, he manages to find where the aura was coming from.. it was a small bear.. with purple stitches and roughed up edges and a dirty black fabric which shielded it.. This young boy.. was Teddy.

When Zane could almost feel the touch of Teddy's worn out rags, he was suddenly pushed backwards from a violent pulse of dark aura...

As Zane regained his footing, and as his vision began to become more focused.. there no longer was a small, young boy Infront of him, but instead a ten-foot giant shadow-like bear that released humongous tons of aura...

While this may be a shock to Zane, Levi, who was now standing in fright behind Zane was in even more terror after realising what was Infront of him..

"What are you two doing out here?" Zane says, while still staring down the terrifying monster.

"We thought you may have needed rescuing!" Ayase shouts towards Zane, but soon enough she noticed something unusual about Levi..

"What's up Levi? It's not like you to get scared like this?"

"This.. this is no monster.. this is an illusion! It has to be.. because.. this monster Infront of me should be dead.. after all.. it's the one that attacked our safehouse all those years back.."
