Part 3: One Will Left.

The trip seemed like it was going to take forever for B-man, there were only two life forces he could sense now. "damn, I hope it isn't coming from the neko village...." -the landscaped changed from snow covered trees to lush greenery, only to be replaced by the remains of charred tree stumps. B-man jumped off his cloud and landed on the broken stone pavement, by the time he ran into the old castle he knew it was all over.

Wind was curled to the side of the master bedroom balling into her hands, Primal looked back at B-man with a look that could only be described as pure sorrow. " What happened?! " B-man shouted but the rest of what he was going to say was stopped in his throat, before them on the remains of the bed was Silvers body wrapped in the bloodied white bedsheets.

The next few days passed in a blur for B-man as he had stayed at the camp, but from the cremation of Silvers body, the mourning was the worst of all for B-man. During the ceremony he had felt the anger towards him from the clan, Primal was the only one so far that didn't blame him for what had happened. During the Scattering of Silvers ashes Primal finally broke the silence. " B...Just what did we encounter at the Village?..." -B-man looked on as the scattered ashes floated away in the river, his felt hollow inside almost as badly as when he had lost his Sifu and Night years before.

"That place was the scene of a massacre Primal, from a demon I beat in heaven." -He went on to explain in short detail of what the demon Wolf had done, Primal crossed his arms having at first a hard time believe the tale. Yet from what he had witnessed in the castle, behind them there was a low growl from Wind. "You..." Wind moved up in front of B-man, teeth bared as she yelled "How dare you show your face here human!"

B-man stepped back slowly as Wind took a step forward, she was stopped in mid step as Primal placed a heavy paw on his nieces shoulder- "It's all your fault! If you hadn't showed up in our lives she would still be alive!" -shadows slowly came over B-mans eyes, Primal said something but B-man wasn't listening at all. He turned and made his way down the path to head back to his dojo. "Stay safe you two...see ya around." Despite Primals yelling and begging him to stay to work things out, B-man left shutting out that part of his life.

Back at his dojo B-man stepped up to the front door when he noticed a letter, his body tensed up when he noticed the writing. "That son of a..." B-man angrily picked up the letter and opened it, thoughts rushed through his mind the guilt the anger towards himself for letting Silver die. He would fight until this travesty was over, and would make sure people like Xavier would be put in their place. alright... two weeks, you want to fight? I'll give you one to remember

During the night B-man tried to get some sleep but to no avail, instead he began to pour over the scrolls he had found months ago. The same he of course used to learn the Tengoku-Ken and the Kayo-Ken, he focused on the latter mid way through he spotted something he missed. Due to the faded ancient text he had not seen a portion of the scroll that held a key, the multiple factor for the Kayo-Ken allowing for doubling or tripling the technique.

It was mid morning when there was a knock at the dojos front door, B-man didn't realize it at first until Primal spoke- "Come on B let me in!, I know you are in there I can smell you!" -B-man paused then looked back- "What do you want Primal?!" -there door shook again as Primal banged his heavy fist onto the door, annoyed B-man walked over and opened the door- " what is it?" -Primal stopped in mid arm swing as he had been about to knock again-

"May I come in?" -B-man didn't budge from his spot- "Make your point Primal, I have training to do..." -Primal paused as he looked into the humans eyes- " Have you slept at all?..." -B-man didn't respond he just waited for Primal speak- "alright...alright...I just came to check up on you, I know how you must be feeling" -B-man cut Primal off- " I'm fine Primal..which would be a bullshit lie of course." -Primal moved to step inside, but B-man blocked the way- "please Primal, just go home and don't come back again."

A pained expression took over the wolfs face, but he didn't argue nor did he challenge his friend. "I am sorry Brandon, just don't do anything stupid." -B-man nodded and put a hand on Primals shoulder, but deep down Primal wasn't sure what the human would do in the passing days- "Take care of yourself Brandon.." B-man nodded then watched as Primal walked off into the forest, softly he closed the front door and locked it. Primal stopped for a moment then turned back as he felt B-mans energy spike, then widened his eyes that much more as he felt the energy triple. For gods sake Brandon don't do anything stupid....

Two weeks had passed in a blur since B-man started to train again, every minute of every hour had been a struggle, on the last day he attempted to multiply the Kayo-ken attack. He had just begun to prepare himself when he heard a knock at the dojos door, thinking it was Primal he cursed- " Damned wolf, Not now Primal!" -he was surprised when he heard a woman's voice. " It's Rose, May I come in please?" -B-man tensed then hesitantly he agreed to let her in, Rose was still in the black jump suit from before but she looked as if she had not slept in days.

"Pardon me for being rude but, What are you doing here?" -Rose looked into B-mans eyes as he spoke.- "I just want to ask you...no...beg you. Please don't go to fight him." -B-man raised an eyebrow slightly- "you're joking right? What is this some sort of deception?" -Rose grabbed B-man by his shoulders, she was on the brink of tears as she raised her voice- " No, this isn't a lie. Please don't fight him, he's found a way to increase his strength and ~" -B-man held his hand up to stop her-

"wait wait wait. What sort of power increase?" -Rose's features took on a haunted looked. "There...was a cult he joined, some sort of demon they worship was resurrected only a few days ago" -B-man glared at her- "Demon?...I thought he didn't believe in that?" -Rose shook her head slightly- " in a way, it is your fault that he took that route" -B-man glared at her- " My fault? you're blaming me for his..." -he stopped himself not wanting to upset her that much more.

Rose swallowed hard- " no...no I don't, but please." -she moved up to B-man wiping the tears away with the back of her left hand- " Don't kill him..." -B-man narrowed his eyes at her then stepped back- " I don't fight to kill, I never have...unless it is totally necessary...but I will beat him to a pulp if he tries anything" -Rose looked down slowly after giving a brief nod- "Julio and Nacho will be there as well..."

B-man took a towel off the rack and started to dap the sweat off his face, then his arms and chest only slightly before laying it on his forearm- " well...what do you plan to do?" -Rose ran her right hand along her left elbow-" He doesn't know I've left, and I am not going back to him." -B-man nodded slowly- "well, I wish you luck in life. Now if you pardon me, I need to take a shower..." -Rose watched B-man move to the door of the dojo and opened it for her, she let off a sigh and slowly left- "good luck yourself, and Brandon?"

The look in Roses eyes showed compassion as she smiled a bit- "If you ever find love again, she will be a very lucky woman" -Rose walked off into the distance, disappearing in the line of trees and bushes at the edge of the clearing- how did?...- He cleared his mind for the task at hand, In less than ten minutes he was ready, dressed in his usual white t-shirt and blue jeans. Checking the time he had available to him, he figured he would have time to stop at Dixie's Diner-

Dixie's Diner was like a page out of the 1950's, the owner Dixie a green lizard like Anthro creature was busy polishing up the front counter when she noticed B-man enter the diner trying to be casual, but wasn't doing a very good job of it as he took a seat at the front counter- " well, well, well. If it isn't the...you okay kid?" -B-man glanced up from a menu he grabbed on the way in. " Not really Dixie, just have a few personal matters I am dealing with."

Dixie raised an hairless brow slightly, she could hear the hesitation in his voice but decided not to push the matter. " Well then, what can I get ya?" B-man nodded slightly as he ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a large chocolate milkshake. " you haven't ordered something that "Rich" in a while...well, coming right up Kid...are you sure nothing is wrong?" -B-man nodded and tried to act cheerfully, but it wasn't working as he slumped forward a bit in his stool- "I lost someone Dixie, very close to me" Dixie nodded slowly then got to work.

In a few minutes Dixie was back plate in one hand, drink in the other- " Well, I hope things work out for you kid. By the way where is that Neko buddy of yours? what was his name again? Cloud? Ski?" -B-man looked up from his meal- "Sky..he umm..he passed a while a few months ago" -Dixie blinked- "What? how did it happen? " -B-man shrugged slightly- "well..just, I don't think you'd understand" -Dixie blinked a few more times then took a seat behind the counter to sit in front of B-man, her slitted pupils focused on the human-

"try me..." -B-man glanced up at Dixie leaned in from her seat, her pupils locked in on his- "...they say theres no devil Dixie...but..." -he looked down at his food then quickly scarfed it down, before Dixie even had a chance to try and get any word in B-man got up and was reaching into his pocket for his wallet. Dixie reached over and grabbed is arm stopping him. "Kid...it's on the house, just be careful huh?" B-man looked at her for a long moment, then nodded slightly. "thanks Dixie, see ya around."

Not caring of anyone saw him call for his nimbus cloud, B-man jumped onto Omega then shot off in the direction stated on the letter he received from Xavier. Scenery shot past in dizzying speed that most normal people wouldn't be able to comprehend, at a remote point in northern Ontario where it would all come to a conclusion.

Draped in a dark cloak to hide his features and form, Xavier watched the horizon intently waiting, watching for when his brother would come. Both Julio and Nacho watched their master, Xavier turned to walked past both of them but stopped just short of the cavern. chills ran up their spines as Xavier gave them an order in a voice that was slightly deeper than before. "This time, go all out right from the start, or I might not be so forgiving this time"

Both guards swallowed hard as Xavier barked at them. " Is that understood?!" Once more the guards barked that they understood, while Xavier entered the cave to prepare himself mentally for the encounter. S_ooner or later brother, this will be the end to one of us._ Secretly with what he had done himself into now, he wasn't sure whom would survive, nor if he would ever see Rose again.

Meanwhile in the air B-man zeroed in on the life forces he picked up, their energies had grown since last time but it wasn't his real concern. He merely searched out Xavier's life force and homed in on that, it was different but it still didn't stop him as he arced Omega downward skimming the tops of the trees. At top speed B-man jumped off several yards in front of the brothers, with the first touch of his right foot to the ground B-man launched himself with his attack-

In a heart beat both brothers launched a combination of ice and fire ball attacks, one fireball impacted with great force exploding as if a bomb had gone off. Julio grunted with satisfaction only to grunt from one of the worst impact he had ever suffered to his knowledge, B-mans right fist connected a full force body blow into Julios left side sending the bodyguard like a rag doll past his brother.

Nacho turned with eyes wide in shock as B-mans afterimage vanished, only to be replaced with another devastating impact to Nacho himself with a back flip kick straight to the jaw. Julio was barely able to stand only to collapse once more from the weight of Nachos body, B-man was in his fighting stance looking down at the two guards- "I take it he is waiting for me in the cave?" -The guards determination not withstanding just barely rose up to take their fighting stances.

"While I would say that you should leave with your lives, I doubt you'd even heed my warning. " -Nacho and Julio flinched, indeed the two guards were committed. whether they liked it or not both men pushed off with what strength they had left, it was suicide for the two of them as B-man watched them charge head on. Once more the bothers attacks met air with each attack, the difference between their opponent was far to great.

Nacho cursed in his native tongue before yelling in utter frustration as B-man dodged yet another series of attacks with no effort at all. " Stand still!" - In the blink of an eye Julio lashed out only to hit his brother in the face, while Nacho did the same in a cross counter. " Last chance!" -B-man yelled from nothingness, the two brothers moved back to back and spun around again and again trying to search B-man out- " Where are you?!"

-Once more Julio took the full brunt of a body blow, this was far worse than before as his feet left the ground being elbowed in the back. Julio hit the ground out cold as Nacho spun to defend himself, only to be too late as well as a right crescent kick from B-man send him staggering backwards into a tree. Nachos last sight before loosing all consciousness was B-man coming at him with a right thrust kick, Nachos body smashed through the tree trunk before crashing into the ground.

With what remaining strength Julio had he attacked, but it was a total act in futility as B-man back fisted Julio with his left hand. Staggering backwards with blood running from his nose Julio gasped out- " What are you?...why do you fight knowing you can't....can't..." -Julios eyes widened with sheer terror as B-mans energy spiked, was this what Xavier felt for those seconds before defeat weeks before?- "Take your brother and go"

-Julio trembled unable to move as B-man walked past, not before stopping to glance over to the terrified bodyguard. " NOW MOVE!" -with a whip being cracked Julio staggered off to his fallen brother, scooped him up then as quickly as his battered body would allow ran for his life. B-man looked to the cavern before him as if on cue Xaviers energy began to rise, taking one last looked at the forest B-man stepped into the darkness.

"Welcome to Hell...brother" -B-man felt a wave of vertigo as he staggered forward, it was the same sensation he felt months ago when he entered heaven on that fateful day. Heat waves rose up around B-mans body, the smell of brimstone filled his nostrils and almost choked him. "You'll get used to it in a few minutes Brandon, it's an acquired "taste" where we are now" -B-man turned as his eyes focused on the cloaked figure of Xavier.

"Why here of all places? What do you mean Hell?" -As B-mans mind finally focused he almost became overwhelmed with the energies in the distance, one was terrifyingly large- " W..what in gods name is that?" -Xavier chuckled- "Ah, you've sensed it as well now, that is most likely Satan -B-man looked back in the direction of the energy, his mind trying to comprehend what he was sensing- "Wolf? After all this time?"

-Xavier shrugged slightly causing the cloak shift a bit, as his brother looked back B-man could make out more of Xavier. " What have you done to yourself?" -Xavier moved slowly over the edge of the Lava rock bridge they two men were standing on, down below bubbling and roiling was a lava river- " Only what I needed to do Brandon, to make the playing field even" - B-man blinked- " Playing field? what the hell did~ " -B-man gasped in shock as Xavier tossed the cloak off his body-

" What had to be done Brandon..." -Xaviers turned to his brother in his new form, his skin was a deep blue, goat like horns protruded from his forehead and arced backwards almost a foot and a half in length over his head, his ears were elongated like an elf, his forearms and elbow had what looked like dark spikes of onyx stone. Xaiver let of a groan as his black membrane wings unfurled, by B-mans judgment the wings must have had at least a seven to eight foot span and were growing.

Xavier reached back and tied his chestnut hair into a bun. "A small price to pay. I am sure you might have~" -B-man interrupt Xavier as a geyser of lava shot up in the distance, his raised voice thick with fury - "You turned yourself into a demon?!" -Xavier nodded slowly as he rolled his shoulders, his new wings moving in rhythm with his arm motion. B-man couldn't help but turn ruddy with anger, was this his fate now? to fight demons over and over again in one form or another?-

" It isn't complete...few more weeks and I will be as you put it " a Demon" -tendrils of red black energy slowly rose off Xaviers body as he began to move towards the middle of the bridge, B-man turned watching his every movement his hands clenched into fists- "It should be enough to "keep you at bay" until" -Xavier paused then chuckled then shrugged as he gestured to his surroundings- "well it won't matter in a few minutes"

"You're a sick bastard, doing this to yourself just. -B-man swallowed painfully from the hot dry air then motioned with his left hand to to the ground in frustration- "just to get to me?" -Xavier shrugged slightly before rolling his shoulders again, the silence was growing thick between the two until Xavier broke it- "By the way...how is that wolf girl of yours doing?" -B-man felt his heart ache once more, the pain and sorrow filled his soul once more.-

" Indescribable, isn't it?" -B-man looked over to the edge of the bridge they were on, the lava flow seemed to be getting darker and slowing. "Something catch your eye Brandon? The Lava perhaps?" -he looked back at at Xavier who once more shrugged- " Oh a little spell here and there, give it a few more hours and this place will be..well when Hell freezes over Brandon" -Xavier smiled- " hint? hint?"

B-man was trying desperately understand why this was happening, or what would happened- "What are you saying? That Hell is going to Stop?" -Xavier glanced over to the side at the slowly darkening lava- " In a sense I suppose, small price to pay." -B-man cursed at himself realizing the magnitude of what was going to happen, a imbalance would be caused. It was boiling down to Ying and Yang, one could not exist without the other.

"That "vanity" of yours kicking in yet?" -B-man grimaced as he steeled himself for the fight that was going to happen, it was just like heaven all over again but on the other end of the spectrum. "If I beat you? will this...this...insanity stop?" -Xavier smirked slightly as his pupils changed colour to a glowing yellow, both men took their fighting stances. "What makes you think you can at this point? I am at a level that no mortal can understand"

Was it really Ying and Yang between the two brothers? or was it something more? Could it just be B-mans fate? Xavier was about to say something when B-man spoke first, Xavier could hear the hostility and feel the rising energy off his brother. "Get on with it!" -Xaviers wings flapped once kicking up volcanic dust behind him, his speed increase would have caught lesser fighters off guard.

To his surprise B-man met the newly born demon head on, Xaviers right fist was met with a left forearm block from B-man, trying to counter with a right cross Xavier backed off several feet. "You did...?" -Xavier was trying to comprehend just what was happening, was his own strength still not going to be enough? B-man glared at his brother once more taking his fighting stance.

" HIEN SHIPUKAYK!" -Xavier blinked then blocked as B-mans left heel met with Xaviers forearms, the reverse mid air spin kick from B-mans right leg caused xavier to stagger to B-mans right. " KOU-KEN!" -Xavier barely escaped the energy ball his brother launched but jumping over it, without another wood Xavier launched a fireball of his own. B-man dove to the left as the hell fire slammed into the rock, the impact crater was the size of a small car and almost a deep.

B-man couldn't help but look at the impact point, then back to his brother whom hovered in the air for a few seconds before landing. Xavier crossed his arms as his feet touched rock. "So much for ending this quickly?" B-man rose back up slowly, his eyes met Xaviers. "Don't do this, please" -It was the last thing B-man said as Xavier took his fighting stance, any chance of trying to reason with Xavier just into the hardening lava below.

They locked their eyes on one another as energies began to rise off their bodies, time seemed to slow for the two as they changed fighting stances. Sweat ran down B-mans temples from the heat, his shirt was already starting to cake to his upper body, the bridge of rock shuddered as a massive geyser of lava shot up several feet over the two. Both men jerked as they vanished forming after images before colliding in the middle of the bridge, they were locked up having tried to attack each other and block at the same time.

They strained trying to get the upper hand over one another, B-mans mind raced as he tried to think of way to end this quickly without injuring Xavier. Both jerked free of the block lock up, Xavier lashed out with his claws just missing B-mans face. B-man dodged by falling onto his back before jumping back up to drive a left straight into Xaviers jaw driving it shut, staggering backwards from the impact Xavier countered with a left kick hitting B-man in the shoulder making him stagger back as well.

The two charged at each other again, B-man lashed out trying to punch Xavier in the face only for his fist to be caught. Xavier did the same only to have his fist caught as well, both struggled as their hands were locked in each others grasp.-How is he this strong for a human?! -without warning B-man jerked back pulling Xavier forward, off balance Xavier gasped as he took a knee to his stomach causing the air to escape from his lungs.

Before Xavier even had a chance to react his head with jerked backwards from a back flip kick, B-man shouted launching a large energy ball attack as his brother arced in the air. " HAOU! SHOUKOUKEN!" -Xavier unfurled his wings instantly managing to stop in mid air, the energy ball skimmed along his shins burning the demonic skin. Another geyser of lava shot upwards illuminating both of them, their eyes met once more, one with demonic rage, the other with resolve.

With a furious flap of his wings Xavier dive bombed at B-man whom jumped out of the way, but he wasn't quick enough as Xavier managed to stop himself and use his left hand to reach out to latch onto his right ankle. Rock and As shot up as B-mans body impacted the ground, Xavier used B-man as a pivot to raise himself up and lash out with a punch with his free hand, B-man rolled out of the way, righted himself then back flipped several times to get some distance.

That much more anger began to roil up inside Xavier as he glared at B-man, the two squared off as lava roared behind them. The temperature was still lowering almost to a tolerable level for B-man, with a roar of fury Xavier pushed off using his wings to gain speed as he lashed out at B-man. The real battle began as their limbs flew in various patterns, only for each attack to be met with one block or hit air as the other dodged.

Again and again as the seconds past Xavier grew that much more wild with his attacks, along with his increasing strength and speed, B-man was beginning to have a hard time and yet he was holding his own. " Why won't you just die?!" -Xavier lashed out with a downwards left cross that B-man dodged by backflipping, he landed on his hands by the edge of the ledge of the bridge then cartwheeled to his right just as a fire ball blew away the portion B-man had just been on-

Xavier rushed up to his brother with murder in his eyes, in his fury he lashed out with a right punch that was too wide. Time seemed to slow for the two as B-man looked up the Fighting Spirit burned in his pupils as he lashed out with a right fisted body blow on Xavier, the world spun for Xavier then jolted upwards as B-man slamming his left fist into the fledging demons jaw snapping his head back to disorientate him.

Xavier staggered backwards but still stayed upright, as he looked down B-man came at him going into a figure eight bob and weave. "Why is he fighting?"-The thoughts screamed in his brain as B-man lashed out with several punches, a old boxing technique called the "Dempsy Roll". "_What does he hope to accomplish?" -_B-man yelled as he lashed out with a final right cross to Xaviers jaw sending him tumbling backwards several feet, dust shot up from the force of the impact Xavier took and the landing he made square on his back.

"_What is he?!" -_Xavier rose up as thoughts raced through his mind trying to figure out how to win, yet once more B-man came at Xavier full force with his right fist a glow of energy- "BURN KNUCKLE!" -Xavier blocked only just but the the force was so great that it caused Xavier to start sliding backwards, as he did B-man continued to fight on as they both slid from the momentum.

Both men lashed out with kicks which they blocked using their forearms, in the seconds they looked at each other. Xaviers eyes glowing with hatred while B-mans eyes were filled with what had been anger now with remorse, the die was cast in B-mans mind at what would happen in the next few moments as the two broke apart. Both were panting from the fighting yet Xavier seemed better off than B-man.

Xavier spoke after the loud roar of cracking from below. "So what will it be Brandon?" -B-man slowly moved back a foot to stand normally- " what do you mean? " -the seconds passed agonizingly slow for B-man as Xavier never wavered as he asked his question- "I became a demon so I could see the strength you used to save heaven" -B-man stiffened, had he caused this all? Sending this man down a path because he had done what may some have thought impossible?

" Now show me, or I will lay waste to everything you hold dear..." -shadows hid B-mans eyes as he finally spoke- "Kay...Oh..." -Xaviers menacing smile slowly faded away as he could feel the energy beginning to build up in his brother, sweat beaded up almost instantly on his temples as he reared back with sheer terror. White bioelectrical energy danced over B-mans body before changing into a shade of crimson red.

"Ken" Xaviers eyes locked onto B-mans before the crimson battle aura erupted around his body, B-man didn't yell, didn't make a move, he stood there staring at Xavier whose body trembled with fear at the this plateau. Xavier stood there his life passing before his eyes as B-man pushed off into his attack. "He's...he's a monster!"

Desperation set in as Xavier tried to block or dodge the next series of attacks his mind raced with thoughts, "he's going to slaughter me!" -Xavier didn't know what hit him as B-mans right knee drove into his stomach, his vision blurred badly as he flew backwards totally winded. Wind howled, no it wasn't wind, it was the pure force of his brothers continuing onslaught. Xavier forced himself to stop using his wings, then lash out with several balls of hell fire at the charging B-man.

Cartwheeling over the fireballs B-man skimmed over the hell fire, Xavier only caught a brief image of his brother before the world upended.B-man had grabbed his horns and threw him overhead into the stone floor, with one hand on Xaviers right horn B-man lifted him up in one swift motion then drove his free hand into the fledging demons face.

Xaivers right horn was sheered off almost at the base of his skull, before his vision blurred he could see his brothers face in it's crimson hue. Xavier skipped like a stone on a pond before barely being able to right himself. " Chou! Kyokugenryu Ougi!" -Did he deserve this? why had he been so instant on this fight? The consequences of his actions had finally come to haunt him.

The blur of punches started first followed with the uppercut of the Zanretzu-ken, followed up with the Geni Kayku multi kick. Finally the combination of punches and kicks culminating with two rising uppercuts, Xaviers eyes were shut tight as he grimaced with pure pain as the final corkscrew rising uppercut dug into his flesh before having his head snapped back sending him into the air.

"Haou! Shoukou-Ken!" -Xavier spun in mid air slowly and never saw the energy ball coming at him, only the sudden dealing explosion of energy on his wings that sent him out of control. The remains of his wings absorbed the brutal bloody impact first causing the bones to shatter like glass, he could hear B-mans voice all of a sudden- " I can go even higher than this!"

B-man could hear his own voice, it was full of anger. "what would Sifu say..." -realization stuck him at what he had done in his rage fuelled attack, he had over done it because he didn't have anyone anymore? Xavier slowly rolled over in tear filled agony, B-man hesitated then started towards his fallen brother to try and help- " No!....Don't..come near me!" -B-man stopped as Xavier locked eyes on his.

"You..." -B-man expected to hear some sort of hate filled words, but what happened next surprised him. As Xavier slowly stood up B-man could see the tears that much more, it wasn't for him but Xavier himself at what he had brought upon both of them. "You...would make our parents proud..." -B-man flinched- " what was that?" -Xavier smiled sadly as he managed to stand up but stagger backwards to the edge of the bridge.

"Mom and Dad...would be so proud of you...I really did loose my way in all this" -B-man stepped forward again- "Stay back!..." -Xavier finally let himself cry freely, ashamed at himself to cloud his judgment and letting things get this far- "I didn't mean for things to go this far..." -B-man watched as Xavier moved back that much more to the edge- " Xavier don't do this! let me help you!"

Xavier slowly smiled before spreading his arms outward- " You already have...now it is my turn to help you...Please live on for me and our parents" -Time slowed as Xavier began to tip backwards. "Goodbye Brandon..." B-man pushed off trying to reach his brother in time. Xavier continued to smile as he closed his eyes and disappeared over the ledge, just as B-man reached him with his arm out stretched hand open-" Xavier!"

Below the Darkened lava was almost hardened with Xaviers body impacted what flowing lava was left, the eruption of lava and energy looked as if it was going to explode. B-man grimaced in emotional pain as he fell to his knees, another soul lost, another person tainted again by his actions. Below the lava gained its momentum again, changing back to it's normal colour. B-man couldn't see what was left of his brothers body, just a small man sized black slick of what looked like sludge.

B-man slowly stood up as the heat started to rise up again, sweat started to form on his brow once more. It would be so simple to end it all right now, without warning a geyser of lava shot up with enough force to throw B-man backwards. As he barely landed he could feel the stone bridge he was on beginning to give, looking back int he direction he came he made a run for it. He couldn't make it as the ground under him threatened to give way.

"Kayo-Ken!" -once more his body became engulfed in the crimson aura, using every ounce of energy he had to kick off in a direction away from the bridge. His aura left a red trail as he escaped but he was out of control, before he could do anything he slammed into a rock face he couldn't see that knocked the wind out of him.

His body hit the loose ground then started to roll and tumbling out of control down the hill, the heat was unbearable but he couldn't stop himself from rolling in the loose rock and volcanic ash. In his tumble he could see the ledge body launched off the edge and began to fall, using what strength he had left he used the Kayo Ken once more to get some distance. He lost consciousness due to the heat, but before he hit the stone ground something caught him.
