It was completely unbelievable. It was almost like being in a terrible dream. How can one of their own have turned to the dark side? More importantly who was responsible for such a deed? The answer appeared to be very clear judging from what the slaves on the ottoman told them. But they did not know for sure. But before they could decipher the situation, Suguru's Psychic energy was beginning to spiral out of control. It appeared that his powers had gone awry and started to destroy everything in its path. Soon the energy was spreading all over the forest and destroying countless trees, rocks and even being exposed to all of his comrades. It even managed to touch the bewitched Sakano. Thankfully the others were in a protective force field. When the whole mess was over, they noticed that Sakano was gone and Suguru was lying on the floor unconscious. Hiro quickly came to his lover's aid and did his best to heal him. He used a healing potion that seemed to work even though it took time for it to work. Everyone prayed that he would get better and that his powers would go out of control again. Some of the group could see from the expression on hiro's face that this has happened before.
When the guys finally reached the town, they found a doctor to treat their unconscious friend. This was when accusations and theories began to run wild.
"Something tells me that Bison is responsible for what happened to Suguru and why Sakano did that to us." Shuichi suggested. It seemed to all add up, not being able to find sakano before getting off of the boat, Suguru's first vision that got cut off. It had to be him.
"We don't know for sure if he is being controlled." Eiri said. He was always the type of person who believed that people changed on their own free will. But in this case he figured that mind control was a very strong possibility as well. And if anyone was strong enough to manipulate other people's psychic abilities, it was very possible that it was the captain of the ottoman.
"I wouldn't be surprised if that clown was hypnotized by some evil sorcerer." He said. "Sakano does have a weak mind. But that doesn't explain what happened to the kid."
Then they noticed that the red haired sorcerer was strangely quiet about the whole thing. They wondered if maybe he knew something else.
"There's something else to this isn't it?" Eiri asked. Hiro did not respond. Then he began to head for the exit when he was stopped again. Now the couple was sure that he was hiding something.
"Hiro, does Suguru have any problems with his powers that we should know about?" Shuichi asked. It was finally time for the magician to come clean about his lover's secret. He knew that it would jeopardize the psychics trust in him but this was a serious matter that could get out of hand if it wasn't resolved.
"Well, he does sometimes lose control of his powers suddenly." Hiro said. "I've seen it happen, its really scary. It was like I didn't know who he was anymore. But I don't think that transformation had anything to do with the powers that be."
Suguru finally awoke from his "nap" and heard all of his friends thinking up possible reasons for him losing control of his powers. Ever since he was a kid he would sometimes lose control of his energy and it would start destroying everything in its path.
Not to long ago, before meeting Shuichi and Yuki he experienced a similar problem, a problem that almost killed hiro.
Flashback-one year ago
"Suguru…" Hiro called. He noticed that his lover was in a state of extreme pain. He appeared to have a massive headache and strangely, his eyes started to glow an amber color. Then less than a minute later, his entire body began to glow that same color.
"Suguru, what's the matter?"Hiro asked. He began to worry that something terrible was happening to the man he loved.
A burst of energy spread throughout the field and Suguru looked normal again but something was very different about him it was like he was being controlled by another power. He approached the red-haired sorcerer and pointed his index finger at the teen. Another burst of energy impacted on hiro's torso, leaving him bloody and unconscious. He then went on a killing spree all over the village. He went all over and used his Psychic energy to eliminate anyone, innocent or otherwise. When this was all over and he returned to normal, he couldn't believe that there was so much blood all over his hands. Then he went back to the cottage that he and Hiro shared and saw his lover on the floor, dying. He knew that he was the one who did it.
The other gypsies used a curse to try to seal that evil energy from every coming back. There were many signs of this alter ego's approach, the first would be losing control of his powers, and the next was an erratic change in his behavior and finally the headache and glowing skin. Hiro was the only thing standing between him and true darkness.
End flashback.
"He is being manipulated." Suguru said. "I could sense another presence in his mind."
Then he had another vision.
Vison.
the gang is fighting the man behind Sakano's bewitching.
