Mer-Man Kros let out a hiss, his song stopping almost immediatly as Illya showed his face. He saw Maria's silent tears, and in his darkened insides, felt a slight pang of regret. If it was normal Kros, he'd be spitting out dozens upon dozens of sorrys and trying to comfort Maria, but the new, darker Kros barley acknowledged it, turning his Mer-man head to Illya.
"That... Thing is not on our side... He's worse than any Pure... He says he's the both of us..."
He then let out a very loud, very high-pitched shriek, loud enough to burst eardrums, and mroe than enought o shatter Crystals. He was no longer weak and needing to be helped. He was strong enough to beat Xero.

The hellhound shattered, but the crystalline armor Xero was wearing did not. "The light blinds, the darkness corrupts. For without light, darkness could not exist. Without the shadows, what would there be to define the light? Better to be on the side of Balance then to be corrupted or blinded."
((Oh, and since apparently I can't just remain neutral, I'm choosing Pure for now, but if the plot ever changes to allow neutral, I'm going back. However, Xero is a bit of a wildcard, so his alliance is kinda name only.))

Maria felt a hand on her shoulder, and her head flew up, and she growled. Noticing it was Illya, she stood, and then wings grew again. She couldnt believe that she'd cried! But she agreed with him. Fighting amongst themselves, well, if this continued to happen, none of them would ever get what they were planning done!
Im sorry Illya for my behaviour. But this, this moron came attacking my friend, Balanced, or Pure, I dont care. I promised not to attack his precious Kairi. Her eyes flashed dangerously. Turning to face him, she was prepared to see anger all over his features. But she only saw a mask. Crying about past things and tortures would not make her a general of the Demonic army. And she yearned to prove to Kairi taht she could be one. For, before flying off, she heard Kairi screaming that Maria was nothing, and was only a baby for flying off. Puh, yeah right.
Faceing Kros, she watched him scream his high pitched scream, and didnt move. He was really annoying her right now.

Illya barley acknowledged Kros's words and Maria's apology, nodding shortly at the girl before he let go of her and turned to face Xero. The brunette studied him and his crystalline armor and taking in the boys words.
"Ef there vhere to be a balance. Vut in this fight, vou are either vith us or against." The teen cared not it he was a friend of Maria's or not, same as before with Kairi. He smiled, almost laughing, and raised his hand, beckoning up into the sky above. The gray and white had started to gather on different sides of the strange cloud that hung above them, and as the demonic leader spoke, his very demeanor demanding their complete attention.
"Do you see ah balance zere? No... Zhat iz the une and the same. Vou are either 'ighting to protect the precious peace, 'zor marching for za new reign... THAT is the battle ahead of us!"

Xero gave a small smile. "Then I suppose you are the leader. Then you should know this. I shall not rest until Balance is achieved. In this battle, there is no balance... YET. My dragling, Istraya, tells me that this fight is over some sort of Shield. Balance requires it be destroyed, not given to either side."

Maria showed no sign of any emotion. Inside though, she was glad when Illya let go of her. He was way strong, and she would've been dead if she'd resisted his grip. Looking to the sky, she followed her leaders gaze. Indeed the cloud was dividing, showing light and dark parts. Each on its own side. Smileing darkly, she listened to each person speak.
The fight isnt just for the shield. Its to prove that the Demonic are the superior. We shall overtake the Pure. They are petty and weak. And Xero, if you choose against us, then you choose death. With that, she stood strong and tall against Illya, her face matching his fierce gaze.

"Darkness may be powerful agaisnt the light, swallowing it unto oblivion." Xero said calmly. "But the light can pierce the darkness like nothing else. This is an equal match. However, the Pures did not attack me when I returned. You, however, did." He said, speaking about the Demonics in general. "You say that I have chosen death, then. Yet you do not realize how much you have changed, Maria. You will probably say the old you was weak. However, in strength of heart and clarity of mind, the old you was much stronger than you shall ever be now, unless you are restored to yourself." He turned away from them. "You've murdered yourselves. And thus I shall stand with the Pure. Maria, I sorrow for your death." And with that, a special crystal appeared in his hands. He closed his hands on it, and an energy enveloped him as it shattered. When it cleared, he was gone.

Illya watched him leave and finally smiled, not a nice one, oh no. The brunette was smiling the was a cat would have when toying with his prey. That boy Xero wanted to destroy the shield to being balance. " 'Ze haz no idea of zhe consequences zhat would bring." He muttered, more to himself than anyone else. One look on is face and anyone could tell he was plotting... Planning. Those ocean blue eyes where cold and calculating... He could use the boy to further the plans of the demonic he led.
The Russian boy finally turned to Maria, speaking to both her and the silent Kros. "He iz a fool, az all zhe pure are. People like zhem don't realize zhat ve haf not been murdered... but reborn." The demonic leader looked down at Maria, specifically speaking to her. "Reborn wif ze power we should of had in za beginning."

Maria bowed her head respectfully, and nodded it as well.
I agree sir. They have no clue what so ever. We shall smash them. But in truth, Xero's words echoed through her head, and then she sent them out. He was dead wrong. The old her was weak, always getting hurt, always crying. Now, Maria was strong, fighting and destroying. Illya was her mentor, her master.
Illya, we should begin to get the plans in motion now. If he wishes, Kros could join us, but it would probably be much better if his little hissy fit went elsewhere. Lifting herself into the air, she hovered, awaiting his reply.

Kros let out a little growl at the 'hissy-fit' statement, turning back into his human form, his arms crossed.
"Better a hissy-fit than helping someone who's on the other side."
He replied, slightly glaring at her. Hey, he might've said the same thing for Kairi, but she was Demonic now. She couldn't be used as cannon fodder in Maria's cannons of insults.
