*Inside Astral's Mind*

Alternate Astral: "Corrupt, is this your doing?" (said sternly)

Corrupt: "It is, I dropped your energy level to bring you here. That power must stay where it is. You don't understand what will happen to you, and to me if that power is taken away."

Alternate Astral: "I don't want this power, I don't want to hurt anyone Corrupt. I know all you care about is using my body to destroy our home world, to destroy Valkyrian."

Corrupt: "True. That is one of my goals, to destroy Planet Valkyrian. But I'm not here to cause any trouble this time. Astral, if that power is taken away, you will never see Dark Mist again. I know how much you love Dark Mist, so why would you want to leave him? Let me have control, so when you return to Valkyrian, Dark Mist will be by your side."

Alternate Astral: "Fine, as long as Dark Mist will still be by my side when this is all over. And I hate it when you use Dark Mist to your advantage Corrupt."

Corrupt: "You have my word Astral, you will return to Valkyrain with Dark Mist by your side when this is over. In the mean time, I'll protect the hidden power with all the power that I have at my disposal. And I love it when I use Dark Mist to my advantage, because it works on you every time Astral."

*Outside of Astral's Mind*

Real Yuma: "Number 96, you and Astral never told us where you two are from."

Alternate Dark Mist: "We come from the Planet Valkyrian. Do you remember Yuma, the house we took you too?"

Real Yuma: "Yes I do. Wait, that house was on Planet Valkyrian, wasn't it?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Correct Yuma."

Astral opens his eyes.

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral, are you feeling better?"

Corrupt: "I'm not Astral."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Corrupt?!" (said very surprised)

Real Yuma: "Why are you calling Astral Corrupt Dark Mist?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Corrupt is Astral's dark half."

Corrupt: "You might recognize me better if I change my appearance, Yuma."

Corrupt changs Astral's blueish-whitsh skin, to black and white. Corrupt also changes Astral's eyes from a light gold and white, to a dark gold and white.

Corrupt: "Do you recognize now, Yuma?

Real Yuma: "Yes! I remember seeing you when I dueled Vector at Sargasso!"

Corrupt: "So you do remember me Yuma." (said with an evil grin)

Alternate Dark Mist: "Corrupt, how are you in control of Astral?"

Corrupt: "I'm in control of Astral by free will."

Alternate Dark Mist: "What?! Why is Astral letting you have control over his body?!"

Corrupt: "Astral is letting me have total control of his body as long as your safe, Black Mist." (Corrupt smile grows even more when he calls Dark Mist by his Japanese name)

Alternate Dark Mist: "Didn't I tell you not to address me by my Japanese name?"

Corrupt: "Yes, you did. But I love how it annoys you when I call you by your Japanese name."

Dark Mist just groans at Corrupt.

*Inside Astral's Mind*

Alternate Astral: "Corrupt, let me talk to Dark Mist. He will understand it better if hears it from me."

Corrupt (Speaking telepathically to Astral ): "As you wish, Astral. (speaking out loud to Dark Mist) Black Mist, there is someone here who would like to have a word with you."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Stop calling me Black Mist!"

Corrupt: "No. it's fun driving you nuts, Black Mist. See you after your little chat with Astral."

Corrupt lets Astral have control over his mind and body again. Astral's skin and eyes return to normal.

Alternate Astral: "Dark Mist, please let me explain."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Please Astral, explain to me why you are letting your dark side have control over you."

Alternate Astral: "I'm letting Corrupt have control of my body because he will protect the power and he will protect you, Dark Mist. You know I love you with all my heart, and that's why I'm letting Corrupt have control of my body. Corrupt gave me his word that you would be safe Dark Mist. I'm only doing this to protect you. If not, why would I let him have control of me? You know I wouldn't let him have control me, you know I wouldn't let him hurt you. You know I wouldn't do that, right?"

Silence passes between Astral and Dark Mist. Than Dark Mist tries to grad Astral, the real Yuma and Astral restrain him.

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral! Corrupt's using you! He only wants to use that power for himself! Let me go!"

Corrupt takes control of Astral again, but only Astral's eyes look different. Astral's blueish-whitish skin is still there. His eyes are a dark white and gold.

Corrupt: "Dark Mist, I couldn't use this power even if I wanted to."

Alternate Dark Mist: "What do you mean by that, Corrupt?" (glaring at Corrupt)

Corrupt: Astral is the only one who can touch this power, or when he ever learns how the use it. I don't know how this power was infused within Astral's mind, but I do know who ever was in control of the body when this power was infused can use it. Since Astral was in control of the body first, he get to use it first. Then after he learns how to use this power, I can use it. But you won't believe me that taking Astral's power is a bad idea, so I'll let you take the power only to prove to you that you'll regret it."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Fine. I'll take the power, and prove to you that I won't regret taking it."

Corrupt: "Oh you'll regret it Dark Mist, trust me. You'll return the power to me and Astral. Just you wait and see, you'll regret it." (Said while smiling)

Alternate Dark Mist: "We'll see about that, Corrupt." (Said while smiling)

Corrupt: "Yes we will, Dark Mist." (Said while smiling)

Alternate Dark Mist: "I'm ready to take the power anytime you're ready."

Corrupt: "I'm ready."

Alternate Astral: "Corrupt!"

Before Dark Mist had a chance to take the power, Astral took control again.

Alternate Astral: "Dark Mist please don't take the power!"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral?!"

Alternate Astral: "Yes, it's me Dark Mist. Please don't take the power. As much as you don't trust Corrupt, he's telling the truth. I will because a prisoner in my own body."

Alternate Dark Mist (Thinking): "So Corrupt was telling the truth after all. (Saying out aloud to Astral) I won't take the power Astral. I will never hurt you. I just..."

Alternate Astral: "Just what Dark Mist?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "I just... hate it when you're not beside me. All I want is to see you save, is that to much to ask?"

Alternate Astral: "I know how much you hate being apart Dark Mist. But we only have to be apart for just a little while though. After that, we can be together forever. Or have you forgotten about the plans we made?"

Silence passes between Astral and Dark Mist again. Dark Mist looks at Astral with a smile on his face, and saids

Alternate Dark Mist: "No, I haven't forgotten Astral. After this is all over, we'll have that special day. I promise you."

The real Yuma and Astral looked at them with confused expression on their faces.

Real Yuma: "What plans did you two make?"

Real Astral: "Yes, what plans did you two make, if you don't mind us asking?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "You'll find out. We'll invite you two to our special day, then you'll know what we're talking about."

The real Yuma and Astral just stared at them with confused expression on their faces.

Alternate Astral: "For now I will let Corrupt have control. I will see you when we get back to Valkyrian, Dark Mist"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Alright. See you when we get back to Valkyrian, Astral."

Astral let Corrupt have control again. But before he left, he gave Dark Mist a hug and a kiss goodbye.

(A/N: Astral kissed Dark Mist on the lips in front of the real Yuma and Astral, just to say if anyone was curious)

Alternate Dark Mist: "Goodbye, my sweet Astral."

Alternate Astral: "Goodbye, my flower of night."

With that, Corrupt takes control again.

Corrupt: "I'm baaaaack!" (Said deviously)

Alternate Dark Mist: "Don't get to devious Corrupt. Remember, you still need to keep your promise to me and Astral."

Corrupt: Yeah, don't remind me." (Said unhappy)

Alternate Dark Mist: "I'll remind you all the time Corrupt, just so you don't forget. And that can be payback for calling me by my Japanese name too." (Said while smiling)

Corrupt groans at Dark Mist's last statement, while Dark Mist smilies back at Corrupt.

That's chapter 11! Please review. Here's some think about questions, Will Corrupt keep his promise to Astral and Dark Mist? And what is the "Special Day" Dark Mist and Astral are talking about? (The second question will be answered in a later chapter) Find out in chapter 12. Bye!
