Geof growled under his breath something in demon toungue glaring the fire hurted him a lot and the bindings kept him from moving.This enraged him but if he'd have to die then not before zion did and surelly he wouldn't let his brother die either.He started to glow blackish his eyes becoming slids.His streaks became black demon marks and his wings dragon like.The rest of his fur turned brown.He let a soft cackle tensing breaking the binds using a great deal of power.he kept himself hovering in the air with his wingsholding bains wrist so he wouldn't get burned by the fire either.Now there was the next problem..how to escape from the fire closing in on them?

Zion watched in astonishment as Geof broke the bindings, and held Bain out of the fire lake. On his knees, he sighed in exauhstion, and raised his hand, trying to manipulate the coldfire on last time, sucedding only in burning his hand. "Ouch! Dammit! I will not let these two hedhehogs defeat me!" He yelled, as he struggled to his feet, then collapsed again, unable to stand.
Ryujin rushed to the outside of the barrier and looked in, trying to find Zion. He gasped in horrer when he saw the panther though, for his transformation had turned him into pure blackness, nothing any mortal of the world could cope with. Refocusing his eyes, Ryu looked beyond the barrier, and within, into that little spark of light that was cowered up in Zion's heart. Closing his eyes, and concentrating, he focused on the little spark, at once both trying to speak to it, and to help it grow. "Zion... Zion... What's happened to you? This isn't you... You can defeat this darkness..."
That little speck in Zion's heart woke up, and listned to Ryu's words, as it let itself be blown to brighter strength. But looking at the darkness around it, it shrank back again. there was no way it could send back the darkness, no way he could hope to survive, he could only hope to sit there and live as long as he could while the darkness advanced on him. Outside, Zion seemed to be wavering in exhaustion, his head dropped to the ground, and the flames seemed to be dieing a bit.
"Zion... shut up and listen to me... You can defeat it... You've overcome the power before, this is just another stage... If not for yourself... Do it for all of us... Your family... Your loved ones... Do it for that unborn child, resting in the womb... We all look up to you Zion... If you can't defeat this darkness... What will happen to us when something worse comes along... Zion... Zion... You can overcome it... just try!" Ryu sent forth all the strength he could pull from himself through that psionic mind link into the pure heart of the panther, and waited, hoping it would be enough.
That spark shrank back on itself, and it tried to block out Ryujin's contact, but was unable to... Shrinking to a pinprick of light... He listened to Ryu's words... Ryu had a point, surely... But it didn't seem to make any effect on the brightness, until Ryu mentioned the child... The spark that was the true Zion raged into life then, taking the power from Ryu, and absorbing it into itself. It flash brightly, and raged, lashing out at the blackness with whips of light, and driving it back, as he slowly moved his way outwards, recovereing his body, step by step.
On the outside, Zion seemed to be wavering, almost as if he were a mirage, called up by heat. Slowly, the black fire died, then went out, leaving the panther alone, with his head on the ground. This image then split, one staying where it was, pure again, the other, the personification of the dakrness, moving out, looking around with icy blue eyes. "Enough." The voice boomed around the areane, causing Zion to attempt to cover his ears with his heads from the volume. "You have provided me with ample entertainment for the time... As well as a gauge of the strength of the defenders of this world... I shall return, but I shall bring my brethren along with me." The figure faded slowly, and with it, all the coldfire in the area vanished as it disappeared from sight.
"Zion!" Ryu rushed towards the fallen body of Zion, and knelt at his side. When there was no reponse, a small teared welled up in the young fox's eye, and fell upon the panther. Slowly, one of Zion's eyes opened, and with it, he changed, once more. His fur turned into a bright silver, and he stood, weak, but alive. Looking towards Geof and Bain, he sighed.
"They'll still want to kill me, and there's nothing I can do against them." He said simply, and lay back on the ground. "Just ask them to make it quick for me."
"Zion, no! I didn't get you back just for you to let yourself be killed by someone on the same side as you!" Ryu struggled to awaken Zion, but with no response, fainling this, he attempted to pick up, and move the panther, but was out of energy, and was unable to. Looking up at the two hedgehogs, with a pleading look on his face, he said one sentance, "Don't kill him please."

Geof lowered bain to the ground putting him down turning to ryu his expression cold and emotionless.Then a slight grin formed on his muzzle and he looked at the young fox then at the panther"take him to a hospital or something..or get that potion master to help him for all I care..I should ectually thank him.He closed his eyes for a second his grin growing wider"yes..thank him..".Usually geof would have gone back to his normal form but he didn't this time."10000 years..and finally free again..took long enough to regain my full memory.."he muttered looking around"and strenght.."he addet softly

"C'mon..you know as much as I do that your fight is over...you did well, but now it's my turn....you need rest..'
