"They'll find out what you did...." a whisper echoed in my mind as I stood in a black void, "soon.... they'll all know..." 

"This..." I began, "this is a dream! You're not real!"

"Doesn't matter..." The voice hissed, "It doesn't change that in this story, YOU'RE the villain.... and I'm the hero!"

"I'm not the villain!" I yelled.

"Then why do you lie?" The voice asked, "You lied to them.... you lied to him.... and you're lying to yourself! You cannot hope to hide it forever.... and soon.... they'll all know the truth... Fool..." 

"SHUT UP!!!" I screamed.

"Liar..." The voice taunted.

"QUIET!" I shouted.

"Villain..." The voice whispered.

"I..."

"Murderer..."

**********************************

"AHH!!!!!!" I screamed, jumping out of bed. It was very early in the morning. The sun hadn't even come up yet. "Damned nightmares!" I groaned, getting up. I exited the cabin to clear my head. "Liar... murderer..." I found myself suddenly repeating the voice from my dream. I shook my head fiercely and went to the camp's mess hall. Surprisingly, I found one person in it, moving tables around. It was none other than Death the Kid from Soul Eater. "The hell are you doing up this early?" I asked, although I really had no room to talk there.

"These tables are arranged very asymmetrically!" Kid explained, as if it were obvious, "I cannot, WILL NOT, eat my food in such a disgusting place!"

"Whatever...." I sighed. I made myself a cup of coffee and left.

I walked through camp with my drink, thinking. 'I did not lie....' I thought to myself, 'I just kept the truth to myself. Maybe exaggerated a bit. Doesn't really matter, though. I need their help to destroy him, no matter what I have to do to get there..."

Suddenly, I was snapped back into reality by an unexpected challenger. "YAHOO!!!" Black Star from Soul Eater yelled as he suddenly attacked me. I was fine, but my coffee was knocked out of my hand. I looked at my spilled drink, angry.

"You don't." I began, "Screw. With my morning coffee!"

"You've been chosen," Black Star grinned, "to be crushed by the great assassin, Black Star! I will beat all Page-masters, including you and Brian!"

'Of course, Brian,' I thought with a tick mark, 'you forgot to make Maka formidable, and pretty much the only thing you kept in character with Kid was his OCD, But you just HAD to make Black Star the same annoying jerk as he is in the anime!'

"Restriction release: level one." I began, "You think you can surpass God... When in actuality," My eyes turned red as a spark of red electricity danced in my palm, "YOU CAN'T EVEN SURPASS THE DEVIL!" 

"Black Star..." Black Star's chain-scythe, Tsubaki, sighed, "Don't do this. Even with that brand, he's still a much bigger opponent than anyone we've ever faced."

"BWAHAHA!" Black Star laughed moronically, "NO ONE'S gonna be a bigger star than ME! You think the devil's power scares me?! I'm gonna surpass Gods! You must be scared, facing a man so much bigger than you!"

"You talk too much." I stated. I then moved at insane speed, punching Black Star in the stomach, then kicking him in the face. "That's for interrupting my morning coffee." I growled.

"That's a cowardly tactic." Black Star groaned, "Attacking someone before they're ready."

"If you're really all that great and better than even God," I hissed, "You'd be able to predict my moves before I even think of using them. Fool!" Black Star swung at me. "Predictable!" I laughed, dodging and knocking him back. "Weak!" I taunted.

"Tsubaki!" Black Star yelled, "Ninja sword mode!" Tsubaki then transformed into a single-edged katana.

"Heh..." I sighed, "Restriction release: level two!" Suddenly, my hands became dark as my fingernails grew into claws. Black Star swung Tsubaki at me. I caught the blade with my bare hand.

"WHAT?!" Black Star  and Tsubaki yelled.

"I'm no meister..." I began, "I cannot wield this weapon.... But, with my physical strength alone, I can force it away from you. Like this!" I then yanked Tsubaki out of Black Star's hand and stuck her in the ground by the blade. I then blasted Black Star with a bolt of red lightning, sending him back. "Now, give up!" I ordered, "I'd rather not kill you." 

Black Star forced himself up slowly. "You're an arrogant bastard..." He groaned.

"Not arrogant, just honest." I corrected. Suddenly, Black Star seemed to vanish. He reappeared and hit me in the back with a sudden explosion of power. I flew into a tree, knocking it down.

"Heh!" Black Star grinned, "No one's gonna outshine me!"

I then stood up, more annoyed than hurt. "Hellfire." I hissed. Flames coated my fist as I disappeared, then reappeared behind Black Star and kicked him in the back of the head. He stumbled forward as I teleported next to him and kicked him in the side. I then teleported in front of him and shoved my fiery fist into his gut. Black Star flew back, now with a flame burning his torso. Tsubaki changed into human form and ran to Black Star. She tried to put out the flame, but nothing she did would stop it. "You're wasting your time." I stated, "My hellfire is an eternal flame. It won't stop burning until there is nothing left of him, not even ash. And you can't do anything to put the flame out. You can't smother it, drown it, or keep it burning in only one area. It'll spread, no matter what. Not only that, but this is a flame from Hell, and as such, its victims feel the torture of Hell, the same torture that those in Hell feel all the time. The only one that can stop the flame is me!"

"You have to stop it!" Tsubaki yelled, "Don't let him die!" I just watched. "STOP IT!" Tsubaki cried, "Please!" 

'What am I doing?!' I suddenly thought to myself. My eyes widened as I shook my head. I quickly snapped my fingers, causing the fire to die out and the burns on Black Star faded. I changed back to my normal form and looked at my shaking hands fearfully.

"Wh-what.... was that?" I stuttered, "D.... did I........ enjoy doing that....? I........ I gotta go!" I then left.

I spent the next few hours on top of my cabin, contemplating what had happened.

'Murderer....' The voice from my dream echoed in my mind.

"I..." I began, uncertain, "I'm not the villain! ...... I'm not the villain...... Am I....?"
