[Oooooooh boooy.... THIS post... this one is actually a critically important one, but coming from the IF creator himself, it would make the most sense. I'll go over this in more detail over time...]  

Little did anyone realize that, with the electrical attacks from the Digimon, the mist that was Crypha still floated nearby. The group headed back to the complex, unaware that Crypha was still alive, only in a gaseous state. She regrouped at the far end of the bridge and reformed her icy body. Electrical sparks now raced around and through her body.

[Uh, yeah... did you REALLLLLLY think she would go down that easily, folks? :P

Also, she now seems to adapt electricity as a strong point in her elemental defenses, and is also now able to use it in some for or another. PlasmaPenguin actually made things worse, although you can't really fault him considering mist is a strong conductant and if fire didn't work, then electricity would seem to be an alternative.]

Most of the group had followed Zac back to the complex. Brett had broght up the rear and kinda fell behind, since he knew his way back. A signal shot through Brett's mind as Crypha reformed. "She's not done yet...!" He turned around and looked through the Three-Four tunnel. His shock was noticed by the cold beauty and the two met on the bridge again.

"Not that easy, did you think I would that be easy to beat?" For some reason, her speech was slightly irregular.

[I assume the irregularity is her unbalanced mental state, in addition to having just recovered from a deadly lightning attack by a possible fluke. o.o]

"Not really." Brett tensed up, not sure as how he should react to her. She stepped towards him, ice forming on the bridge as she stepped onto the asphalt. Brett stepped back, trying to keep a good distance from her.

"You afraid of me?" Her speech had returned to normal.

[Oh dear... she sound like she's about to kill... O_O]

"Just... a little cautious," Brett was ready to slide into a fighting stance. Just then, she disappeared.

"Who was that weak fighter here earlier?" She was now behind Brett, leaning over his right shoulder and whispered in his right ear. She was gone as soon as Brett turned around. "So, do you know who I'm talking about?" Brett whipped back around and she was back to where she was earlier.

[Holy schisse... that is SPEED there, considering Brett's no slouch in speed himself. @_@ Though I have to think her newly found electrical nature is a good deal responsible for her speed boost.]

"You mean Bob...?" Brett said, not sure as to whom she was referring.

"Bob... do you know much about him?"

[Why the hell do you have a fascination with hurting poor Bob? :(]

"Not really."

"Where is he now?" She now became slightly more annoyed with Brett.

"I'm not sure..."

"Liar!" she snapped, charging towards Brett. Quickly, he had to transform into a Super Saiyan to avoid being frozen in place by her icy touch.

[Okay, maybe she's not as fast as I gave her credit for. :P]

"That was close..." Brett wiped his forehead with his left hand.
"But still not good enough," she said from right behind him. 

[Crapbiscuits... I spoke too soon ._.]

--- Back at the complex ---

"I wonder where Brett is," Glenn mentioned. "Zac, where's your brother?"

He thought for a moment. "I dunno. I thought he brought up the rear. I'll go get him." Zac stepped outside and retrached their path.

[The hell Zac? You can sense energy like Brett, how did Crypha's power NOT register for you? >.<]

--- On the Three-Four Bridge ---

Brett was trying hard to stay ahead of Crypha, but it wasn't looking too good. She, on a few attempts, almost had Brett.

I need to stop her for a moment or two... he thought. "Ionic Cannon!" He threw an electrical orb behind him. Greedily, she absorbed the attack, but was shocked to find that she couldn't move that well. "I thought you still might be paralyzed by that attack."

[Well, she's already at full health anyways I'd assume, so no harm no foul. >.>]

She was at one end of the bridge and Brett flew to the other. Once there, he faced Crypha and placed the heels of his hands together. Suddenly, his power started to shoot up exponentially.

"Since it looks like you'll win soon, I thought it best if I take you out as I take myself out." A faint, whispy yellow orb started to form. After a little bit, bolts of energy shot from the growing energy attack.

[Um... Brett, what ARE you doing...? o.o]

"What the- What is Brett doing...?" Zac whispered to himself as he neared his brother. It then hit him. "NO! He's gotta stop!" Transforming, he used the speed to quickly cover the ground between him and Brett.

[OSHI- things just got serious. @_@]

"I'm putting a stop to you before you cause any harm to any of them." The attack was ready. The effects of the paralysis wore off and she flew straight towards Brett.

"Final Fate!" Brett shouted. A huge beam flew forth from Brett's hands towards its target. 

"Brett, NO!" Zac called out, but too late as Brett fired the attack. The attack struck dead on, causing a huge explosion that threw Zac into the water, as he was unprepared for the blast. He surfaced and jumped out of the water. As the smoke cleared, Crypha was still floating, but Brett was not. His body was on the bridge, and he was forced out of his transformed state. Zac landed next to his brother.

[Oh crap, that's not good... if a Saiya-jin is knocked from their Super state, either they're knocked unconscious... or... :o]

"Zac..." Brett coughed. "I wasn't... ready for her... I thought this was the only... way..."

"You didn't need to attack her by yourself you know," Zac said, holding back tears. "You could've-"

"No... since the lightning attacks..." Brett coughed a little. "She's changed... she's stronger than she was... She-" Brett started to hack violently, until his body became limp.

[...... oh dear.... ;_;]

"No... no... NO!!!" Zac shouted, powering up in anger and sadness. He glared up at the seemingly innocent woman just floating there, smirking. He mouthed a few words to her and took off back to the complex, alone. 

[DUN DUNN DUNN... yeah... it actually happened here. You're not imagining things. Brett really did just die from using his desperation attack on Crypha, and sadly it did not do the job. :\

And yes, I suppose I also should just flat say it, Crypha is techincally about to become an AC herself. You'll see why in the next couple of posts, but yes. Brett is DEAD. An AC actually freakin' dies in this IF. The stakes just skyrocketed...]
