Day 4, Return

This is going to be fun >:D I always thought that Orange Steve could come back to life as long as a part of the orange crystal remains. So- The Return of Orange Steve!

But make it Angsty :> (I do not have much motivation to write today sorry-)

This will take place when Sabre is under the control of Shadow Sabre.

Crystal Orange Steve

I... I didn't know where I was, I woke up in this ruined cave and... The last thing I remember was... Sabre... Where is Sabre?! I broke the glass before me and quickly left this old dusty cave. I ran outside to the deary weather and cold air. I looked at my hands to see I was no longer covered in rainbow vibrant colors, but it was just me... An Orange Steve. 

I never felt so relieved to be back to normal... I'm no longer that hero. I'm just... Me!

I had to get back... tell Sabre I'm back! I... I can't wait to see everyone again! 

I made my way back to the rainbow hub, only to find an odd sight. The place was covered in leaves and hasn't been taken care of in a while... Why would this place be so... ruined? Why would Sabre let this place fall after all the time we spent together? Maybe he couldn't of reached the high places?

I went to work and started cleaning up the hub with my abilities... it felt so strange for them to be completely normal... but I liked it that way. It doesn't feel as complicated to use my powers again. Just natural strong waves of magic that I could use in simple forms. 

I only just managed to clean off the vines from the portals when lighting struck near me. Is someone here? Maybe its Sabre or Light! I can't wait to show them I'm back! I stopped what I was doing and rushed to the sound to see who it was. When I got there though... everything changed. 

I saw Sabre... everything now a monotone black color over him. His skin was more gray now. This hair is more black. He wore the markings of the darkness on his sleeves and carried a dark weapon in his hand. He was just staring at me in silence. I reached my hand out to him. 

"Sabre?... Are you okay?" I asked him. A dark unfamiliar voice echoed through the air. 

"Shadow. You may call me his shadow now. He is no longer with us." The voice spoke before running at me with it's blade, before I could react his sword hit another and I was dragged away from him. I looked at the person who dragged me to see Light... but he was different too. 

"I have a lot of questions for you but we need to get you out of here first!" Light asked in a panicky shock as he dragged me away from my friend. 

I've returned... but... what did I lose?
