The creature shouted out, interupting any words Kyo might have stuttered out through his astonished lips. It moved as well, as it cried out, arms straining against the chains, feet struggling at the ground. Then just as quickly he slumped back in his bonds, eyes meeting Kyo's with a renewed hatred. "You lock me away here, bound and helpless to watch as you struggle through your little mockery of a life!? NO! Not anymore!""So it was you..." Kyo frowned as he spoke, keeping careful distance from the chained man, eyes wary on him, as if afraid to blink. "That presence I felt. What are you?"The figures eyes widened, and he smashed against his bindings once again, several links about his arms shattering, the loose chains beginning to glow white as the man struggled. "What are you!? You give up everything, run from everything, bury and chain everything out of fear!""I asked you a question." Kyo said simply, unnerved, but doing his best not to let it show through his voice, his gaze locked with the one who might have been his twin. His hand dropped, finding no blade but grasping that sheath anyways. The chains were breaking more frequently now, Kyo's resolve cementing for a possible battle."And I provoked you." His doppleganger gave a brief, distorted 'hmph' as if disgusted by him, his arms straining, veins showing as the chains all around him shattered, at last they fell to nothing around him, the chains binding his legs torn away, the lot of them fading into white, though the chains closest to his right arm ran up the length of it, cementing into reality in the form of a beautifully ornate sword. Like the sheath it was a distortion of his own blade, the steel of it the same black metal, but interlaced with hellish red. "And it worked, you got angry. You showed for all your control that you are a fighter!"Even before he could work up a propper response to that odd statement, his clone was in motion, lunging across the distance between them, blade upraised. A deft parry brought it down and to the side, Kyo's blows following up beautifully after the fact, pressuring his opponent back even though he did not so much as nick him, their styles, even after one short exchange mirroring one anothers.Outside Kyo's stateroom, noise would begin to erupt, shuffling feet, whooshes of air, and then the shattering of glass, perhaps a lamp or some such. They would find the door locked, though such a thing would doubtfully prove much of an impediment.</blockquote>
