Chiro stood in a black plain, no kind of light at all could be seen, causing him to become nervous.

A  cold laugh caused him to tense as he quickly turned in the direction of  the sound. Nothing was in that direction, but he quickly turned to look  in another direction as the laugh seemed to bounce from one direction  to another, never staying in one location for more than a second.

A  sharp pain to his back caused him to fall to the ground in surprise as  he quickly turned to see his attacker, causing him to stop in horror.

In  front of him stood a copy of himself also in the form of a robot  monkey, but instead of the round ends on the end of his tail and the  tips of his fingers they sharpened into claws and a sharp spike. The  pupil of its eyes were slits and held a crazed glint in them causing  Chiro to back away,a small shiver going down his spine. This caused the  copy to give a large grin showing sharp fangs.

"Who or what are you?" Chiro questioned, getting into a fighting position.

The copy just laughed, causing another shiver to go down Chiro's spine at how similar its voice was to his own.

"Why, I'm you of course."

Chiro stared at the copy in shock.

"There's no way that you are me." He growled, a glare overcoming his features.

The copy just laughed again.

"Oh, but I am you, or at least a small part of you."

Chiro raised an eye brow.

"You see Chiro. Everyone that has ever existed has the potential to be either light or darkness."

The copy disappeared in a swirl of shadows, causing Chiro to quickly look around and keep his guard up.

"Even  if a person chooses to follow one path," the copy's voice said,  bouncing around the area making it impossible to locate its position.  "But the potential to follow the other path will always remain, biding  its time for the chance to influence the person."

Chiro gasped as sharp claws grasped and dug into his shoulders and a tail wrapped around his upper body.

"And I Chiro am your dark side." The copy whispered in his ear. "You may cal me Ahriman."
