Kyo, completely taken by surprise, felt his body slam hard into the ceiling. He gasped in pain as the impact vibrated his entire body and made him feel as if he may have broken a rib. Although his humiliation stemmed from two things (his inefficacious display and the way he was clinging to the ceiling like a clumksy spider), a third was added; watching his friend get tossed around like a rag doll.
[i]"We need to outsmart this brute, Dark."[/i] thought Kyo, communicating with Dark via a protected, telepathic link. [i]"I want you to charge at him and make as much noise as you can. As soon as you jump at him, I'll wreck his mind with a hallucination and then we can both strike. One of us is bound to move him!"[/i]
