Hello my wonderful readers, I'm back again! ^^ thanks to my wonderful friend SweetheartNicky I was able to bring you another chapter of Rewired Mind. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for the help Nicole ^^

Dark Mist smirked and stared at what was once Astral. "What do you mean his true dark side?" Black Mist questioned, Dark only smirked and clicked his tongue charmingly.

"Exactly what I said Number 96," Dark continued to smirk. "I'm Astral's true darker side. But then again, we have never met in person. Vector should recognize me though.~ Dark said, and turned his attention to Vector.

"That I do, you are what Astral turned into at Sargasso." Vector said, staying calm even though all eyes are on him.

"There is darkness wherever we go, I am the true darkness that lives within Astral's mind and heart. The true darkness that will destroy everything." Dark said with a dangerous dark smirk, and looked at everyone in the room.

"I like this sound of this." Black Mist smiles. "It will be easy to get Yuma out of the way."~ Dark said, only adding fuel to the fire. "I feel an evil trick coming into play here."~ Vector chimed in.

Dark Mist smirked and looked at Dark. "So, how are we going to destroy Yuma and Astral, any suggestions gentlemen?" Dark smirked darkly and looked at the others around him. "What do you have in mind Dark?" Black Mist asked.

"I was thinking about kidnapping Astral and replacing him with Dark." Dark Mist chimed in. "Are we going to brainwash Astral?" Vector asked with an excited grin. "You read my mind Vector." Dark Mist replied back with a dark grin.

*Within Astral's Mind*

The original Dark groans awake, and looks around him to get a grasp on his surroundings. Astral is sound asleep in his crystal, still recovering from the pain he felt from earlier.

Dark turns his head to see Astral in his crystal, and tries calling out to him. "Astral wake up, Astral." But there was no response from him. "There's got to be a way out of here." Dark said to himself and looks through the crystal he's in.

"Wait a minute, how am I in one of these crystals?" He questioned himself

*The Real World*

The anime Dark hid his discomfort about his original personality waking up, and chimed in whenever he felt it was necessary to the plan to get Yuma out of the way and get Astral on their side. He just watch as the other three talked and kept a close eye on is original side. His discomfort did not go unnoticed by Dark Mist however.

'What's bothering you?' Dark Mist asked him telepathically. 'It's my original side. He's woken up, but it seems to me that he doesn't know how to brake free yet.' Dark replied back telepathically. 'This has trouble written all over it, we need to keep him unconscious. What about Astral, is he awake as well?' Dark Mist asked concerned. 'No, he's still asleep.'

"You two alright? You've gone quite on us." Vector ask them, getting there attention. "We're fine, we're just working out a little issue." Dark Mist replied, trying to hide the fact that trouble might be coming there way. "What issue?" Black Mist said in a questioning tone.

Dark Mist and Dark glanced at each other, debating whether not to tell them. "What are you two keeping from us?" Vector asked, annoyance creeping into his voice.

"My original side is awake, but he hasn't broken free yet." Dark said in a concerned manner.

*In Astral's Mind*

The original Dark tried to remember the past events for a minute, but that's when a wave a pain washed over him. He groaned rubbing his temples to ease the pain. "Now I remember, Dark Mist must of given up. Stupid Number, I should of known better then to rely on him to save Astral." He groaned again in pain then turned his attention to Astral.

Astral lays completely still in his crystal. Trapped in a dream world of the anime Dark's own design, unbenounced to the original Dark.

*Original Dark's POV*

I watch Astral's chest rise and fall, it's the only movement I see that let's me know he's okay. I don't understand how he can be so perfectly calm and asleep, and not want to break free from his crystal to reunite with Dark Mist. I always wondered what's going through his thoughts, just because we're the same person doesn't mean we share the same thoughts. We did agree to keep out thoughts separate from each other.

But I think now is the perfect time to do a little digging. I brake out of my thoughts and look at Astral. He looks so calm and serene... I have second thoughts about bothering him, but I push those thoughts aside and close my eyes. I focus on combining my thoughts with his.

A few minutes went by, but my thoughts didn't merge with his. I became frustrated and tried again, but our thoughts remained separate. "Why isn't working?" I asked angrily.

*In the Real World*

The anime Dark snickers, "seeing" his original side failing at merging his thoughts with his good side. "Well I guess someone's to impatient and uptight to do anything right." He snickered again.

"Who are you talking to?" Black Mist asked him confused. A wide grin spreads across Dark Mist's face, and tries to contain a chuckle of his own. "Why you little, how dare you mock me!" was the reply from the original side at hearing his anime side mock him. "I never knew that teasing him would be that much fun." the anime Dark said with an evil grin on his face.

"I just wish I could see the look on his face." Dark Mist replied back, "I bet it's priceless." He bursts out into laughter. "I don't get what's so funny." Vector said clearly confused on what they were talking about. "I'm just messing with my original side, he keeps try to get to Astral but is failing miserably." Dark said to clear up any confusion.

While Dark and Dark Mist laughed about the original Dark's frustration, he keeps trying to merge his thoughts with Astral's. He gets so frustrated that he gets hit with a backlash of his own power, causing him to lose consciousness. His anime side feels the backlash as well and stiffens in pain.

"What happened, did he brake free?" Dark Mist asked concerned. "No, he just kept trying even though he was frustrated. That caused a backlash in power. Lucky for me, he knocked himself out. Down side for me is I'm stuck with a pounding headache. Dark replied, while rubbing his temples to ease the pain from the backlash.

That's chapter 7, I hoped you liked it. Please vote, follow and comment. Looks like things aren't going well for Dark, but are the anime sides sure he isn't a problem?
