Takuya knew now at his current state, he couldn't put that much of fight up, taking consider large amount of damage. He had 4 choices, though he one had an devastating effect on him. He began to slowly get up, with blood dripping down his face. But he was smiling. "I had an ideal to kill you at first? But fighting you now. Show me that I should save the best for last and that an power like yours, can constantly grow stronger and stronger. Though I can't fight that much long. I'm going to use the remaining arsenal that I have now. " He said knowing that he do out of the 3 choices he had selected. They each would prove to be very lethal not just on him. But on Ember had well. Though he exhausted too much flames on the illusion and on ember. That he notices one of the seven acorbaleno was there. Though he knew. That now, it had to end the battle her and him and then leave. He then look his box and saw the lion slash symbol on. He release some flames and ignite his box and summon Zaian. He then look at it, while feeling the pain that been inflicted on him. "Ember, And Arcobaleno. My thought on killing you, now change just on beating you. Your resolve is amazing. Though I can still battle, not at my full 100% capabilities. But I say 25% should be enough to end it between us. Once and for all. Winner or Loser. This won't be the end, But my lust for an powerful battle could rest for an while. I only wanted to test my limit. This end of the battle will be the final test. I thank you for managing to last this long and keep me entertain. Though I say the fun shall end now!" He said. He then stand and look at Zaian. "Cambio Forma!" Zaian then turn into an large amount of flames and the flames emerges with his hand forming an armor suited gloves. The remains of his battle strenght was double, though through all the constant waist of flames and damage and the use of flames. Both Takuya and zaian was not at full power. Though with the combine strenght. It was enough for him. The hit of the punch, weaken him greatly. Even in cambio forma. He then spoke to himself. "The weak shall perish, but the strong will survive. The weak shall perish, but the strong will survive!. The weak shall perish...........BUT THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE!" Takuya showing his resolve. He then charge the remaining strenght he left, while saving enough for him to escape. But while he was doing so. Then an sudden shock pass through his brain and then his ring began to glow and sky flames appear and then an black circle appear around him. After an few seconds, an voice occur through takuya head and then look around and notices. The sixth generation takashi boss look at him. "Pitiful Takuya!, I expected more from you. Is this best you got, you played stupid in your actions. Don't hold back. Release the rest of the power you helding back. If you held back now, you'll die. Think of what your fighting for? Your pride. All of this on the line now. Your in a critical state, but it only up to you determine what happen now. Will the takashi Family look for an 11th generation boss or Will you succeed and make an name for yourself, so that all of the mafia, WIll know your name, fear your power. Remeber this. Your life is not determine how you start, but how you finish. You can start as an loser and die as an loser. Or start as an loser and die as winner!" The black circle disper. The sixth was gone and takuya thought about the words. "Ember to say I lose, yet the loser is when he or she is either dead or unable to fight. I still have an little juice, just an little. But if I die fighting, I die fighting. But I would...be....>Damn! If I lose here and now and by an weakling!" He yelled. He then realize that his new Ethereal Blade hasn't been use yet. "Ember I respect you alot now. You put everything on the line and I admire that. But you still helded back on me. I can tell, there somthing I feel inside of you, that still hadn't been awaken in you. I planned to kill you, but instead. I'll want to see everything you have to offer." He said releasing his robotic cannon guns. They was enchanced, now having 2 hole in each gun. He then pointing them directly at Ember. The flames he was gathering, cause him to stumble an little bit, But he shook it off. He "The power of one of these, can cause an almost nuclear like explosion. Being that 4 was shot. That quadriple. He use the zanokan technique to move at highspeed and fly to the air. High in the air. He then fire 4 ethereal blades from above. With 2 enter that look like it was aimming at Ember, but only near close to her and aim the other 2 only several yards from the opposite direction of the way ember body was faced at. Meaning 4 nuclear like blast was going to hit near her. He wasn't trying to kill her. But what he has to offer, on their battle. Meaning he knew he would leave. As the ethereal blade made impact on the ground. Nuclear explosion occur. Explosion so huge. He then felt weaken and his time cambio forma, he knew he didn't have much of time length. He then fly at fast as he could thus leaving the galimon base. "Fare well for now!" he said then using his zanokan, he thus move at incredible speed and thus vanish. He then left Namimori thus heading back to tokyo.

She listen to his speech, his resolve untouchable. Just as this happened Lark-sama came by surprise and shocked her by his appearance. But but his attempts of deflecting most of the attack, she was hit in the arm when she tired to run to him. Takuya felt, Ember was bleeding on her left arm while she ran over to lark and gently picked him up. " Lark-sama... " Her hands began to glow yellow, it was a faulty Sun flame that slowly began to heal his wounds that were uncalled for. She couldn't protect him, and that left her with regret. Tomoya was fine which made her even more happy, but once Lark was healed to a certain point, Ember gently placed him down and a spark went through her whole body, making her fall with a thud onto the grass. All she kept thinking about was the fight, and then slowly... her thoughts were filled up with Tomoya....

Flash Back

It has only been about a year and half since Ember arrived to the Galimon family house. Barely anyone was here besides for Train, Tranquil and Tomoya. The rest were on vacation. Well one day, Ember slowly came out of her room to see what was going on. She rarely came out of her room, and she would usually eat the food the maids brought up for her, and sometimes it was delivered by Tomoya himself. But as she slowly came down the stairs, she heard a soft melody that came from the corridor. She began to follow it as if it were a magestic trance. The music became louder and louder as until she found it. Peering from the hallway, she saw that the main butler was teaching Tomoya how to dance. It was very nice to watch and see how he danced, but he didn't know how by calaiming he looked like a fool dancing by himself. The Butler came over and offered to help him, but he refused. There was a grand piano in the beautiful ballroom, chandeliers that lit up the floor with it's reminiscence, and the decor with it's shaping touch. It felt so warm and right and it had drawn her out from the hallway by its magestic powers. Tomoya saw her and was very surprised to see her. This had to be one of the first moments she had ever truely loved. Tomoya came over to her, bowed, and then asked. " Would you like to dance with me? " He wasn't asking for a responce, but the gester of his hand had her longing to take it. She did. Soon, the butler was playing the piano once again and the two swayed across the floor like pros, advancing through the pillars and back to the center, then once they were done he kissed her hand, making her blush and run away. That shocked Tomoya just as much as it shocked her, but she wasn't used to others touching her, she didn't like it....

Back to Reality

Maybe she did love Tomoya, maybe she cherished every moment being with him... it was just many things she couldn't forget about him, and she knew everyone knew it too that she had feelings for him. But after this... she wouldn't show her face for another year.

Ember had woke from her beautiful dream, and she was crying, slowly getting up, only to her knees. She was stopped by Lark-sama. She couldn't bare to face him. She had caused him to get hurt and it were was all her fault. J-just... like those children.... Thinking back to the fire. She gently pushed his hand and got up slowly, her body all cut up, sweat on her face, her clothes torn, she looked like crap. But this feeling of shock came to her. She didn't have to be selfish about everything... was her fault. The wind began to blow against her hot body. It felt very nice, closing her eye lids to feel the very breeze that cooled her head off. Ember turned and then bent down and picked up Lark-sama and held him in her arms. His question wasn't forgotten. She knew what she had to say. The truth. " Yes, I love him. He is the one I want to protect with my life. I would die if it were to protect him, or any of my friends. " The wind kept blowing, with her hair lifting up in the amazing wind that felt like ice against her body. Just what she needed.

She nodded with much anticipation to rest her body for a while. Her arms had dry blood on them, her body was just shaking as she stand and all she could do at the moment was just smile, looking up and sometimes over at Tomoya. " Yeah, I will... But I want to make sure Tomoya is ok. " Ember looked down at Lark-sama, and then painfully bowed to him, then slowly walked over to Tomoya with a slight limp. She was sore and hurting. But that didn't stop her from coming over and then gently taking his hand, looking at him with a soft smile. " Are you ok Tomoya-sama? " Clearly, she was the wounded person, but he was wounded before her when he had the battle and she wanted to make sure he was ok from that.

Ember took a sudden turn, blocking Tomoya from the new person that came. Right off the bat, she asked. " Who are you?! " But before she could get more protective, she began to hurt a lot and clenched her arms, breathing hard, but still looked up at the stranger. If this person was from another family, she could battle anymore. She was very tired and needed the rest.
