Monster I Have Become

Chapter 5

**Okay, before you read, I would like everyone to comment on what you think is going to happen in this chapter (Keep it short people). If and when you do that, then you can read on. ENJOY!!**

It all seemed like a dream. I felt like I was in two places at once. In one place, there was me, standing there next to the river bank. And then in the second place, there was just me overseeing what was going on. I could faintly hear Rukan screaming, apparently hoping he could get out by screaming nonstop. Then there was me talking, but not me talking. The part of me that is made from rage was talking. After I had come back from that nothingness where I found him, Rage Me had taken over my body and I found myself overlooking the scene.

My body had changed. Not by much, but it was noticeable. My rings had turned from blue to a shade of black that was so dark that the rings gave off a dark type of light. It darkened anything that came within range of it. And my eyes had changed too. They were also black. That's it. They were just black. Not as black as the rings, but as black as my fur.

But I didn't care. All I cared about were my friends. I always have. Even when my friends were not really my friends, I felt like I had to care. Especially with these friends. Blades was always my friend, even when we first met. He had been watching me before then. Shadow was my friend at the beginning too. I cared for them all. And I felt that if I lost them, I would free fall. Just free fall into nothing. (If you get the song from the bolded line right in the comments, you get a cookie! Or something...)

Now I could hear Rage Me talking. "I am very sorry to bring this upon you. Oh, wait, never mind." He said the end with a grin and a small laugh. But the laugh had no joy in it. It sounded like nothing but a voice. "And when did you get so smart, smart ass?" I heard the Flareon say.

At this, Rage Me just let out a large laugh. He didn't stop for some time. But when he did, he looked down at the ground for a second. Then he said under his breath-and I heard it in my mind too-"I never got smart-" Then he quickly looked up, and at the same time, he burst into flames. But these weren't flames from a fire. You could tell just by looking at them. These were flames of shadow. When he looked up and said-in my mind before he spoke aloud-what he said, I instantly knew that I should have never stored away that rage. But it was what was driving me now. And I had no choice but to listen to what my rage had to say.

When Rage Me looked up he said something in a loud, angry, and demonic tone. For a second, it seemed he hadn't said anything, then what he said registered and it played in my head over and over. "I ONLY GOT ANGRY!!" At this he fired a shadow ball at the Typhlosion. It was fast, but the Typhlosion was faster. The Shadow Ball soared past him as he rolled out of the way, dropping Shadow from his hold. The Shadow Ball left behind a shadow vapor trail as it flew through the air and into the trees. The Typhlosion jumped back up to its feet with a smirk. Rage Me just smiled a sadistic and rage filled smile. The realization was on the Typhlosion's face before it hit him-literally. 'A shadow ball never misses.' I thought to myself. While in the trees, the Shadow ball had turned around and had come flying back at the Typhlosion.

It hit him in the back of the head. Then-Then he disappeared in a burst of shadowy vapor. No explosion, no sound, no grunt of pain or cry of surprise. He just disappeared. Never to come back to this world. Everyone looked on in horror. Rage Me and I just stared uncaring at the place where the Typhlosion used to be. Then the Blaziken charged Rage Me. He didn't flinch. He just turned his head towards the Blaziken. The Blaziken's feet and hands were covered in flames. Rage Me just opened his maw...and a beam of pure darkness came out and engulfed the Blaziken. The beam ended a few inches past Blaziken's back.

Once again, no sound, just stares of horror. Blaziken disappeared too. Then- I had control of my body. It was so sudden that I didn't notice until the silence had dragged on for some time. Then, I was aware of a voice at the back of mind. "I got my targets, now you get yours. If you don't, you won't be getting this body back."

For a second I just stood there. Then I slowly looked over at Flareon. He had dropped Eevee in his stupor and was still looking at the places where his friends were seconds ago. *He certainly took care of what you couldn't.* 'You know?' *Yeah. It was kind of obvious.* 'Yeah, your right.'

"Y-you killed them! You freaking killed them!!" Flareon shouted at me. He had apparently shaken himself out of his stupor. Before I replied, I noticed that Eevee had crawled away and was currently snuggled under Shadow. And this is what hurt. She wouldn't look at me. She just glared at Flareon. Watching him, waiting for him to make a move so should could react and protect the Eevee however she could. I wasn't sure whether it was because I turned into a mad'mon (First time hearing it, right? XD) or because she trusted me not to do anything to her and Eevee.

I was ready to walk over to them and comfort them when something very hot hit me in the side. I was thrown back and to the ground. My side hurt and was burning like crazy but I had to get up. I just had to. I wouldn't let him win. Not ever.

I stood up and took a battle stance. Flareon was about six feet in front of me and was in the same position I was. We just stood there glaring each other down. We didn't move and I was pretty sure both of us were holding our breaths. Then I felt myself sink into the ground. I looked around wildly. "What is going on?!" I managed to scream out before I was sucked into the ground.

'Wow.' I was at a loss for words. After I was sucked into the ground I had closed my eyes expecting to feel the small confines of the underground. But when I didn't, I opened them to see a large black expansion. I looked up to see the place where I was just standing. I could see to the world above. I could see everything I could before and a little bit more because I was at a lower perspective. I saw Shadow look at the place I was before...then she looked away.

I walked forward. I found there was an invisible plane below me that I could walk on. (No, not an airplane!) I walked toward where Flareon was standing. I seemed so surreal. I feel like I turned into a shadow. Now I was standing under him and he still didn't notice.

I reached my paw up and touched the ground from under it. My paw went through the ground and almost hit Flareon in the stomach. I quickly pulled my paw down. Then an idea started to form in my head. A grin spread across my face. 'This is going to teach you to try and kill me!'

I crouched low to the ground and bunched up my legs. As I jumped up I put my forelegs in front of me and hit Flareon in the stomach. I heard him grunt in a mix of pain and surprise. My claws dug into the soft flesh of his underbelly.

As we reached the peak of my jump, I flung Flareon to the side and turned myself so I fell in the opposite direction. As I landed I heard a loud thump and curse of pain. I turned around and watched him pick himself up off the ground. Sure my attack didn't do much but it still hurt.

"I am going to MURDER YOU!!" Flareon said as he quickly turned around. As he did though, he was met with the sight of an Umbreon who looked none too happy. I was so tired, aggravated, and angry that it all shown on my face and it gave me a menacing look. And the fact that my eyes were still black just added more to the menacing look. The shocked look on Flareon's face told me all that. And I was completely wrong.

**Now this is a short bit in Flareon's POV. I have set the time back a bit to describe how he feels right now. I have gone back to a little bit after Ryun ran away from the battle the second time.**

Pain. That is all I felt. I had gone back to the place where me and Ryun had started fighting. More pain. Too much. And I was just thinking earlier that I couldn't get enough pain. Now it just kept on coming. It wouldn't stop.

'Wait. What is that?' I thought to myself as I saw a blue object in the middle of the path. I started walking toward it. More pain. 'Ryun sure can put up a fight. This pain is driving me crazy.' I thought to myself as I closed in on the object.

'Oh. It's just that Vaporeon. Wait, what is that next to her?' As I came closer I saw that it was the little eevee. 'Maybe it got hit?' I thought, but as I thought it I saw the little eevee give a shake and then become still again. "Oh, guess she is alive." I said to myself.

"When are you ever going to learn that charging blindly into a battle is never a smart thing to do?" I heard from behind me. I smirked. 'Kristen.' "It's not nice to talk about me when it's not to my face." I heard her say.

I turned around and was met face to face with an Alakazam. "Hello, dear. How are you doing?" She said to me. "Don't procrastinate; just fix me up before I die of blood loss." I said irritably. "Oh, fine, you little party pooper." She said with a giggle before I felt a sense of rejuvenation fall over me. The sensation of the wound on my stomach closing up and the veins and tissues under the skin being rebuilt caused me to shiver.

"Thank you. Now let's go get Ryun and be done with this." I said to Kristen. "I suggest you take that eevee. Ryun seems to feel responsible for her and if he sees you have her, he will do anything to get her back." She said in answer.

I picked up the eevee by the scruff. As I did, though, she started to wake up. When she apparently noticed that she was being taken away from her mother she started to cry. 'That is a horrid sound! How can anyone put up with this?!" I thought to myself.

"Better get used to it. She seems like she won't be stopping anytime soon." I heard Kristen say.

I hit the ground...hard. 'How did I get here?' I thought, but I quickly regained my surroundings. I was fighting Ryun again. He killed my men. 'He killed them!'

I cursed and quickly got up to face Ryun again. As I did, though, what I saw stopped me in my tracks. There was Ryun: he still looked the same as when he did when he killed my soldiers. But what stopped me in my tracks was the Ninetails behind him.

The Ninetails was hovering in mid-air, but that wasn't it. He's a black Ninetails with blood red eyes. They weren't blood_shot_, they were blood red. And he had even more dark mist resonating from his body then Ryun did earlier. For once in my life I was...scared.

"Oh. My. God."

**Back to Ryun! Please tell me how I did on the switch POV's! I feel like I did horrible on it but I am guessing that is what most authors feel like when they try something a little new, right?**

"Oh. My. God." I heard Flareon say. 'Wow, he is really scared!' *Ryun, he isn't scared of you. You look normal right now, nothing is black unless it is supposed to be, so he isn't scared of you.* 'Then what is he scared of?' *The only possible explanation is that there is something or someone behind you.*

I turned around and was met with blood red eyes and a black furred face. "WOAH!" I jumped back with a shout and landed hard on my rump. I looked at the Ninetails that was hovering in the air and a shiver passed over me. The mist that was emanating from his body was floating to the ground and seemed to be walking across the ground and towards me and Flareon.

To keep from being touched by the darkness I walked back several paces until Flareon's body stopped me. He was still standing there. Just stupefied into a state of shock that kept him from thinking straight. And so was I. I don't know why but the Ninetails was just so unexpected and he seemed so powerful and commanding that I was shocked into silence.

Then several things happened in quick succession. The first was that I noticed that the mist had reached behind me and was currently under Flareon's belly. The second was right after I noticed the first. It was that the mist was coming back to the Ninetails very quickly. Then, when all the mist had come back to the Ninetails, everything was still and silent. 'Wow. Guess I got scared for no rea-'

And that is when he chose to attack. One moment, everything was still and silent, the next, a radial burst of dark energy was wrapping itself around me. But nothing happened. I opened my eyes. 'Wait, my eyes were closed? I need to be aware of my body more.' What I saw made me want to unhinge my jaw so I could make proper use of the phrase "my jaw dropped."

The trees around the Ninetails were bent over because of cracks that formed in them at the same height as the Ninetails. Sunlight shone clear into the forest except for where the Ninetails was. He had put himself on the ground and was covered in a shadow made by a tree he probably chose to keep up.

He stood up and looked me in the eyes with a dead pan expression. "We must talk soon. But not here. You will know the time, young Ryun." He said to me. Did I detect a hint of admiration in his voice? No it couldn't be. I am the one who should be admiring him right now. And my admiration grew as I turned around and was met with the sight of an unconscious Flareon sprawled in the remains of a tree he must have hit when he was thrown by the...

'I wonder what that move was?' I thought to myself, but didn't get much time to think about it because I heard a gasp come from behind me. I turned around and met the eyes of Shadow. I could see Eevee's tail sticking out from behind Shadow's leg. "Shadow I-" But what can I say? That there are multiple personalities in my body and they each have a mind of their own? *Yes, you should.* 'Shut up.' I took a step towards her and she took a step back.

"I see...I am sorry for what you saw Shadow. I hope we can still be friends. I guess I will see you where the other's are camped...I hope." I said with a very solemn tone and ending the last part in a mutter. I turned away and walked through the debris from that Ninetails' attack.

'The Monster I Have Become.'

**So how is it? I really think I did a crappy job since I took so long to write it. I would very much like comments and votes. No favs necessary. And that character offer is still out there people so PLEASE inform me of your thoughts on it. That is all.
