Time passes by, He struggled against the Dark variant of himself. Refusing to accept his words. He struggled and struggled, his opposites laughed at him, telling him that he will fail. He will soon fall to the darkness that seeks to end all the Steves life. Refusing, he kept trying to gain control of his physical body, he didn't know how long he have been gone, nor does he know what his dark variant had done in possession of his body. All he know, from the small glimpse of freedom he had, he had almost slain a defenceless Yellow Steve. Before he can remotely do anything, he was forced back into the darkness that the dark variant tried to trapped him. After so long, he was set free.
