"Lee, don't." Keng spoke loudly. Lee Seng's aura had grown a couple shades darker. It was more wild and sporadic. It flicked around him as Lee Seng's irritated eyes watched Halys taunt him. "He wants you to fall into that. Don't do it!"

"Fall into it?" Halys asked, confused. He had a smile plastered across his face. "What would I even do? I'm just trying to figure out if you can keep your head cooled in a fight. I guess it wasn't too long." Keng couldn't feel the Protocol. He could feel Lee Seng's emotions and his anger was definitely rising. The last fight, he didn't even notice the changes in Lee Seng when the Protocol took him over.

It wasn't until the Protocol said something, that Keng noticed. He had been quietly paying attention to any subtle differences ever since. Their evolution to gaining a third tail had given Keng and Lee Seng stronger attributes and skills, but it also gave them some sort of energy sight. Keng could see the golden energy becoming darker.

Lee Seng physically disappeared from their eyes, but Keng knew where Lee Seng was. He forced himself to go faster and appeared in front of Halys as Lee Seng remanifested himself and threw a punch straight into Keng's cheek. Keng grunted as the crowd gasped.

"What're you doing?" Lee Seng growled. "Get outta my way. He's toying with us." Keng turned and looked into Lee Seng's eyes.

"Stay in control." Keng spoke in Hmong. "If you don't control yourself, they'll all know what you are. What we are." Dark Matter energy erupted out of Lee Seng's body and he quickly grabbed Keng and tossed him to the side.

"Stay there." Lee Seng spoke. Dark Matter wrapped itself and binded Keng to the ground. He couldn't move.

"Lee! Don't do it!" Keng shouted. Halys' grin turned serious. He watched as a black and gray liquid slithered and pulsed around Lee Seng's right arm. It was moving across his body, creating a thin film. The ruby and sapphire eyes that stared at Halys darkened. Halys' composure immediately changed.

'There it is.' He disappeared as Lee Seng slashed with the Dark Matter covering his right arm. The pressurized slash  ripped the ground as Lee Seng immediately turned his head backwards and noticed Halys was standing at the other end. The crowd began to point and comment about Lee Seng's form.

[NOTICE: The  Mutation strand has forced a mutation onto the Protocol. ]

Lee Seng's body merged with the liquid Dark Matter and became a skintight suit. The Dark Matter crept up and covered his mouth, attaching a thin piece of Dark Matter to the corners of his tear ducts. Dark Matter covered his three tails and seemingly pulled them inwards. White and Silver Dark Matter coursed through the skin tight suit.

[NOTICE: Foreign Matter has been integrated into the Protocol.]

Lee Seng smiled. His fox ears were the only thing left about his Fox form. The dark golden aura pulled into the skintight armor. Gold orbs appeared on his shoulder and webbed themselves towards his chest.

"That's… different." Keng gulped. Lee Seng took a deep breath and smiled. "Lee! Don't!"

"Shut up." Lee Seng calmly spoke. The Dark Matter held on Keng tightened. Keng cried out in pain as Lee Seng's left hand shifted into a blade. The ground shattered around him as Lee Seng flew straight for Halys.

'His aura is completely different. Things are getting interesting now.' Halys blocked the attack with the katana. The two collided, making a  loud screeching noise. The other Foxes covered their ears as Halys tried to push Lee Seng away. Halys formed, shimmered and changed. The Creator stood in place of Halys.

"You!" Lee Seng shouted. He slashed, wildly, at the Creator. "Why did you do this to me?!? Why did you drag me into this! I never wanted any of this!" The Creator shook his head, not pleased and blocked the attacks. Swords and Dark Matter flew and whipped in all directions. A loose Dark Matter blade flew straight for the crowd. Zixin moved in and blocked the attack. Blood began to pour and the blood began to pull into the Dark blade.

"What the…" Zixin grunted. The Dark blade flew off of Zixin and pulled back into Lee Seng. Zixin grunted as the cut didn't heal. The crowd's fear began to grow.

"Why did he attack Zixin?"

"That black blade came straight for us!"

"H-he's a monster!"

"A Monster!"

They all began to panic. More blades flew, wildly, across the field. Lady Vix'i and Nabi appeared at Zixin's side.

"Why isn't it healing?" Nabi asked.

"I dunno." Zixin grunted. Lady Vix'i's form shifted into celestial stars. She raised her hands and stars began to manifest all around the group. The blades collided and bounced off of the celestial stars.

"He's going wild. We should stop the fight!" Nabi looked at Lady Vix'i.

"No." Lady Vix'i's distorted voice spoke. "Halys wanted this to happen."

"But our brethren!"

"Our brethren's curiosity brought them here, willingly. I will protect us all." Zixin clutched his arms to his chest as it continued to bleed. He watched as the blades narrowly missed and slammed near Keng as he continued to try to release himself.

"Lady Vix'i, why isn't Keng's form like that vessels?" Zixin asked.

"That vessel had something in his body before Keng was binded to him. They're separate."

Keng shouted as he ripped the Dark Matter binds off of him. Dark blades crashed around him. A blade flew straight for him. It sunk into his shoulder and Keng grunted in pain.

"Lee! You gotta control it!" Keng shouted. His form began to shimmer as blood pulled. Keng's form shimmered and flew up the blade and towards Lee Seng. The Creator's face of disappointment made Lee Seng angrier.

"YOU TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET ME HAVE THIS?!?" Lee Seng shouted. The Dark Matter blades continued to slam and destroy everything around him.

'He's gone berserk. I don't think he's talking to me at all.' Halys' body flexed and he quickly shoved the blades and Lee Seng away from him. The tendril of Dark blades attached themselves into the ground and Lee Seng rose into the sky. The tendril blades above him shimmered with different energies. Some burned with golden fire while others were a bright dark light. All of the blades hardened with gravity.

"You can die, Father. You should suffer for all the things you've done to the Numbers! You sent Two to die that day! You killed Mother! You ruined me!" Lee Seng screeched. The blades flew straight for the Creator. Halys gulped and his form changed. The earth wrapped itself around him and the sword's strange energy began to resonate against him.

"Earth Form: Roots of Dathro." Halys spoke in Fox tongue. Roots erupted from the ground and flew straight for Lee Seng. The Dark blades slashed away at the roots as they continued to close in on Lee Seng. The roots slammed themselves into Lee Seng, the tendril blades going limp.

"Argh…" Lee Seng grunted. Blood and Dark Matter spilled as the roots slowly pushed deeper into Lee Seng.

'LEE!' Keng shouted. Lee Seng was pulled into his Spirit body. Keng clawed away at the Dark Matter roots around him. Lee Seng had been binded onto the tree, mere inches from the cliff edge.

"Lee! Snap outta it! It isn't the Creator! That's Halys! You're fighting Halys and you're gonna get people killed!" Keng's fox form shimmered as he continued to claw at the roots. Lee Seng felt blood falling from his mouth. He grunted as the black and gray roots held him tighter. His vision shifted between his Spiritual body and Physical body. He could feel the roots digging into his sides and legs.

He cried out in pain. His anger had brought him here. He knew that. It had brought up all the emotions he tried so hard to leave behind.

'Because of my poor actions…' Lee Seng's eyes closed. 'Because I'm so stupid… I'm gonna get us killed…' Lee Seng felt his tears welling up. 'I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I wish I could be better… I wish I could be–'

"My sweet baby boy…" A familiar woman's voice spoke. At that moment, Lee Seng felt everything freeze around him. A warm hand pressed against his cheeks. Blood spilled as his tears began to fall. He opened his eyes and the ethereal form of his mother appeared in front of him. "Oh, how you've suffered. I'm sorry, my dear son. I'm so sorry." She wrapped her arms around him and embraced him.

"No…" His voice cracked. He began to shake his head. "You can't be real… Yo-you can't be…!"

"I'm sorry for all that's happened. I'm sorry I didn't know your Father put that serum into you. It's not your fault that all of this happened to you." Mom spoke. Her warm embrace melted his anger and despair. It started to loosen the grip on him. He could feel his Spiritual and Physical bodies were starting to melt away.

"No…" He shook his head. "You're not real… None of this is real… It-it's a nightmare. It's a nightmare… It's a–"

"It isn't a nightmare." Mom's warm embrace melted the anger Lee Seng wanted to keep within him. The anger towards his Father. The anger that his Mom had left him with the one person he didn't want to be with. The anger that had gotten him his wish answered and now… It was all slipping away from him.
