Valarinth looked all around her as people gathered to defend her against her dark counterpart...they were doing this for her, fighting her battle, asking that she bind him again.  Valarinth was still scared, a side effect of her dark counterpart being released, but everyone believed in her.  She could sense their feelings of devotion, wanting her to be the powerful head of this school once more.  Slowly she stood up and walked towards her counterpart.<br/>"I...won't let you... hu..hurt any more students."  She spoke, her voice trembling as she stood up to face her greatest nightmare.  Dark Valarinth turned and laughed as he ignored the spectral image of Tyr, still parrying Caludar's blows without looking back...merely sensing where Cal would strike.<br/>"You can't even face me without panic in your voice and I believe I have the upper hand, unless you want our daughter to suffer for your pride."  He said, motioning his head towards where one of his clones stood, carrying Tamyshia at which point he felt Caludar tear into his neck with his teeth.<br/>"And you can let go of my neck."  He growled using his tail to pull Caludar from his back along with a mass of flesh from his neck as Dark Vals blood dripped onto the ground.<br/><br/>The Dark Valarinth clone stood there speaking to Tamyshia.<br/>"Come now my dear little princess, obey your father and awaken the mana."  His voice commanded, a dark aura overwhelming them both making Tamyshia scream out as she felt her own soul fighting against her father's until the pain overwhelmed her and she levitated before him, shrouded in darkness and raising her hands into the air.  A magic spiral of energy begun to form around her as parts of the school and some of the students dissolved, seemingly into the air as the mana flowed into Dark Valarinth empowering him further.<br/>"Now I won't have to use my own essence, Valarinth and her student's will do just fine and once everything here is assimilated into my form as pure mana.<br/><br/>Ikaria put up a barrier around herself and the nearby students focusing all her power into maintaining it as parts of the nearby scenery vanished.<br/>"This isn't good, Dark Valarinth has gained control over Tamyshia's power....I hope Sinala hurries up to the secret area of the library before the book vanishes."  She spoke to herself, knowing full well what Tamyshia could be capable of if she were able to control her power...which it seemed Dark Valarinth was doing for her.  At one point Tamyshia almost did the same to Reiko, but she screamed out in pain, yelling out loud into Dark Val and everyone's minds.<br/>"No!  You're not going to make me destroy my Reiko!"  With that said she turned hr power on the clone and destroyed its left arm before she fell to the ground unconscious.<br/><br/>"Damn!"  Dark Val yelled as the wound in his neck repaired itself.  "I can't believe she still had some control left in her."<br/>"That's the power of love Sinol was telling you about."  Valarinth explained, feeling a bit more confident.  "That's why you will never defeat us."<br/>"It's no matter."  Dark Val spoke again.  "I'll just control her unconscious body through her dreams."<br/>"No, you can't....leave Tamyshia alone!"  Valarinth screamed, tackling her dark counterpart and skewering him upon Cal's blades.<br/>"You think that's enough to stop me with the extra power I've gained."  He grinned maliciously as he teleported behind Valarinth and thrust them towards Valarinth's unguarded back.
