Chapter XIII - Great Failure
While Kalm had succeeded in his combat against the green warrior and Lasy had somewhat failed in her battle against the tentacle girl, Karen had been warped to a world with no subtance, a realm of total darkness.  Everything around her was black.  She was weak and barely able to stand, then a barely visible knight appeared, he was wearing black armor, and had bright blue eyes, he drew a dark red sword. 

He spoke in a deep and hoarse voice, "Karen...the Death Psychic, correct?"

Karen looked up at him, and nodded, just barely.

The dark warrior said, "I apologize, but my mission is to eradicate the Death Psychics,"

Karen  flailed her hand outward and a  black spark shot outward, her attempt at one of her spells.

The dark warrior laughed, "Poor attempt..."

Then an arrow pierced the right shoulder of the dark warrior's armor.   There was a girl in green torn robes wearing silver armor with rusted marks on the edges of it.  She held a green sword surrounded by a blue glow, her bow was now over her shoulder.  The dark warrior rushed the knight and brought his sword down on the girl's weapon, but was deflected.  The girl leapt into the air, and came down on the warrior's sword, snapping his sword in two.  The girl grinned, saying, "I am Saras, victim of time and second to none!"

Karen didnt quite understood the girl's fool message, but she was glad to have a friend to get her out of this mess before the dark warrior killed her.  The dark warrior raised his hands, generating a red orb in each.  Saras put her sword in a sheath and said, "Magic?  I can do that too!" and held both hands in front of her and shouted out, "Defiance Shield!" and flashes of light covered Saras' body and the dark warrior threw his orbs, as they collided with Saras' light, they dissipated, turning to nothing.  Saras said, "Ha!  I am Saras, victim of time, and second to none, and you, my dear, are the none!"  Saras then leapt into the air and pointed her sword down at the dark warrior and shouted out, "Flashtwist!" and she came down on the dark warrior, then started spinning at amazing speeds with light surrounding her sword the entire time.  The dark warrior was knocked senseless and sent uncounscious, Saras turned to Karen and said, "Im Saras, second to none, and your troubles are now gone!"

Karen shook her head, barely able to do so.  Saras went over to her and picked her up.  Both of them dissapeared.

Karen was standing lying next to Kalm in the graveyard, Saras was gone however, just as quickly as she had appeared, had Karen dreamed up the mystical warrior and enemy that she fought?  She wondered if she would ever see Saras again.  Well they had more important matters to intend to.  Blood was beginning to burst from Karen's skin.  Karen whispered to Kalm, "There is a temple at the end of this graveyard, you must take me there, and I must reach the altar, and go to sleep, then in my dreams, it will happen,"

So, Kalm began to march through the graveyard with the dying Karen.  Eventually Kalm came to a circle of gravestones surrounding him.  Then there were pulses of multicolored light from the gravestones then a large shape of a translucent ghost raised up in front of Kalm.  He raced around the gravestones, changing from the colors of red, purple, then green, and finally blue, then he dissapeared.  The gravestones let out a long moaning noise and rose up all around Karen and Kalm, trapping them.  Then a rumbling sound began beneath them and four pillars rose up, each with a colored orb: red, purple, green, and blue.  Kalm was throughly confused, he wasnt a thinker.  Kalm touched the purple one and it lit up brightly, blinding Kalm, and threw him back.  Then the ghost appeared again, rising out of the purple orb and high into the air.  The ghost was currently colored purple.

The ghost said, "You are on a fool's errand, and you will die for it!"

Kalm looked at the ghost with a foolish grin, replying, "What you going to do, say boo?" and lay Karen down gently and drew his sword.

The purple ghost flew through Kalm, and Kalm spun around, feeling a sharp pain in every muscle of his body.  He fell to his knees in pain and looked up at the ghost in anger.  The purple ghost whispered, "Hows that for a boo?"  Kalm charged it and slashed it, but his slash went right through it, evil laughter filling the air as he missed. 
He turned around to face it again, and it was gone. 

Kalm touched the red orb now and it lit up just as bright but the ghost didnt appear, a red aura danced over the orb and kept the orb brightly lit.  Kalm then proceeded to touch the purple orb and a purple aura danced over it, keeping it brighlty lit.  Kalm then touched the blue one and a bright flash occured, sending him flying back.  The ghost then came floating out of the blue orb, colored blue now.

The ghost said, "You just dont get it do you, you sure are stupid, well, sorry pal, this show is OVER," then all four orbs began to glow their corresponding colors and shot bright yellow beams into Kalm.  He felt now pain at first.  He stared at the ghost, and took a defensive pose, placing his feet firmly in the dirt and his arm in front of him. 
Then Kalm heard a rumbling in the air and saw something somewhat familiar in the air.  It was Black's gigantic plane.  Kalm shook his head in disbelief and yelled, "Damnit!.."  The plane was floating above the three of them and all this time the beams were still focused on Kalm, yet he felt no pain.  The ghost was immediately amused and began to watch intently.

Black's voice boomed forth from the plane, "Ahem..ahem," he coughed a couple times and then said, "Is this thing on? Aha! I am Black, Class C Knight!  I will now show you the TRUE power of this machine," and a circular beam shot down from the bottom of the ship and encompassed Karen.  Karen floated slowly upwards towards the plane, it was a tractor beam, and Black was capturing Karen.

Kalm screamed, "No, damn you!" he tried to run towards Karen, but the beams from the orbs were holding him in place.  Kalm clenched his fists and then Black began firing machine gun fire down at the ghost and Kalm. 

The ghost said, "Yikes, someone doesnt like you, and I wont allow them to destroy this graveyard, seeya later pal,"  Kalm purple veins began to glow, brighter and brighter, until they were brighter then he had ever seen before.  Kalm wasnt controlling it either, it was being controlled by the ghost and the four beams sent by the orbs.

Kalm looked at the ghost and spoke, "What the?"

The ghost laughed and waved, "Byebye!"

Kalm screamed out as he shot out Two gigantic bolts of energy, each wider then Kalm shot into the air, they went up for miles before crashing down onto the earth.  In addition to these, he shot out his normal tendrils of electricity in all directions, however, it was more then he ever comprehended would erupt from him.  The result was a series of gigantic explosions that was seen for miles.  This destroyed all of the gravestones near Kalm, and created a gigantic hole underneath him, sending him plummeting down into the earth.
