*Yuuri takes a step back and hides the medallion. He slowly walks to Akio and slowly touches him. Akio looks at Yuuri and cried.*
Akio: What was that?!!
Yuuri: Ssshh... It's okay!
Sonic: Akio! Yuuri! Are you guys okay?
Yuuri: *protect Akio* Go away Sonic!!
Sonic: Hey! What's wrong?
Yuuri: Akio is mad at you! You know what you've done!
Sonic: I-- is he the one who I heard crying outside?
Yuuri: I don't know but Akio said you hurt him!!
Sonic: No I'm not!! What have I done?!
Akio: Go away Sonic!!!
Sonic: Akio! What's wrong?!
Akio: You listen to Yuuri, go away!!!
Sonic: I--
Yuuri: Come on Akio. Let's just get out from here.
*Yuuri takes Akio somewhere far inside the forest. Sonic didn't know what he has done and Shadow came as Akio and Yuuri left.*
Shadow: Where's Yuuri and Akio?
Sonic: Shad... What have I done to Akio? I don't understand... Why is he mad at me and why does he hate me?
Shadow: I'm sure Akio is not hated you. He just has a misunderstanding about the situation...
Sonic:*sighs* Come on... I bet everyone is waiting for us...
*Sonic and Shadow walk back to the event. Meanwhile, Yuuri saw a cave to live in for a moment. He looks up and saw the moon is no longer a crescent.*
Yuuri: Akio... Your wings will start to withered right now.
Akio: That's good...
Yuuri: And... We should stay here for the night... I'm afraid that your madness is coming back.
Akio: I'm sorry... I can't control my emotions. Those love and hate are combines together. I can't describe how I feel towards them.
Yuuri: I understand... Since your family died, you don't have anyone in your life... I hope I could save your family at the right time...
Akio: It's okay Yuuri. It's not your fault that the fire starts to burn the mansion...
Yuuri: I'm always here for you. Even you die, you sleep, you dream... I'm always here. I'm not like you, who loves Shadow and intimidate him. I was so mad when I saw you with Sonic.
Akio: I'm sorry... Do you think that I love Sonic?
Yuuri: Of course not!! But the way Sonic treats you is better than I am! It looks like he wants you to fall in love with him. Your emotions are easy to play with.
Akio: I'm sorry that I'm not matured enough! I should just kill him and...kill him...
Yuuri: No, just push him and walk away. That's easy! Since when you have an urge to kill?
Akio: I don't know... It happens when Sonic and Shadow came to Amita...
Yuuri: I see but you don't look harmful to them. You act friendly and helpful...
Akio: I try to hide my other self... It wants me to kill one of them... The madness... It wasn't me... It was someone else who took my body...
Yuuri: Is that how you feel when madness consumes you?
Akio: Yes...
Yuuri: We talk about this tomorrow. Let's get some sleep...
*Akio lay his head on Yuuri's lap and they slowly close their eyes, falling to sleep.*
*The next day, Sonic goes out to find Akio and Yuuri, but then Shadow walks to him.*
Shadow: Where are you going?
Sonic: To find Akio and Yuuri. They haven't come back since last night. I was worried about them!
Shadow: Can I come too?
Sonic: I'm not sure you can come, Shad... Akio will kill you...
Shadow: Okay, what have I done to him? I already apologize to him that day! Doesn't he accept my apologies?
Sonic: Shad... For your safety, don't involve in this...okay? I will come back home as soon as possible if you are still worried about me.
Shadow: No! Let me follow you! I had something to tell Akio.
Sonic: But if Akio is attacking you, don't blame me.
*Sonic and Shadow ventured outside the village and they found a small cave which is fit for two people. As they check the cave, they saw Akio and Yuuri still sleeping.*
Sonic: Poor them... They must be cold while sleeping here...
Shadow: Should we wake them up?
Yuuri: Ngh..?
Sonic: *gasp* Sshh, they're waking up.
Yuuri: *looks outside* Hmm? Is that you Sonic?
Sonic: Yuuri! Thank God you are both here! We were so worried about both of you!
Yuuri: Wait, is that Shadow?!
Sonic: Uh-oh... Shad...
Shadow: What is wrong while I'm being here?
Sonic: Come on boys. Get out from there and let's go back home. Don't wake Akio up.
*Yuuri picks Akio up slowly and walks back home. Akio's wings are no longer on his back. Yuuri puts Akio on the bed and Sonic looks at them.*
Sonic: Why aren't you both coming home last night?
Yuuri: *looks* I need to make Akio calm down... He's not in the mood and his madness always consumes him...
Sonic: I see... I'm so glad that you both are safe.
Yuuri: Sonic... Can I tell you something?
Sonic: Sure!
Yuuri: Will you stop make Akio fall in love with you? He has unstable emotions and he couldn't control himself... The only thing he thinks is to kill...
Sonic: Wait, since when Akio had those things?
Yuuri: Since you and Shadow came to Amita...
Sonic: But, why now? Why show his true self now?
Yuuri: I think he's waiting for the madness to get him. But I know he won't let someone take his body like that!
Sonic: *sigh* Just like me...
Yuuri: Huh?
Sonic: You wanna see my dark side?
Yuuri: Sonic...
*Sonic clinched his fist as he growled and his body slowly turns dark. Yuuri was shocked and take a step back.*
Yuuri: Sonic!!!
Sonic: *pinned Yuuri to the wall* This...is my dark side... to activate it, the madness must consume me...
Yuuri: You... You still Sonic, right?
Sonic: Tch, of course, I am... I'm Dark Sonic... Why don't I show Akio this form?
Yuuri: and you can control the madness inside you?!
Sonic: It takes a lot of time to control my dark side...
Yuuri: I never thought that madness can be controlled! I thought madness is a lost cause...
Sonic: *hug Yuuri and turns back to normal* I need to take a break... *walks away*
Yuuri: So, Sonic and Akio had the same madness all this time? Wait, I need to investigate about this!
*That night, Yuuri spends his time learning about madness. He has the book where Ambrose and Blake give it to him but he never showed it to Akio yet*
Yuuri: Agh! This is hard! I never get to know what madness is!! Okay, why did Ambrose cut off Akio's wings? Well, it's because of the curse!
Akio: *peeking*
Yuuri: Then Akio wings grow back, doesn't that mean that the curse is still inside Akio???
Akio: *still peeking*
Yuuri: What does this curse all about?... Wait, does this curse means...about Akio's madness? Madness plus curse...
Akio: *walks in* Yuyu...
Yuuri: Aaahh!! *falls* Akio?!
Akio: What are you doing? And what are you talking about?
Yuuri: I learned about madness...
Akio: You try to learn about my other side?
Yuuri: Well, look. You and Sonic have similarities which are madness. But Sonic controls the madness by himself while you can't...
Akio: Oh, he has one too?!
Yuuri: Yeah but now I was thinking about what Ambrose and Blake cut off your wings... What the wings have done anything to you?
Akio: I guess those wings aren't mine...
Yuuri: What?
