Kyle found himself in a metallic world dominated by violent storms of fire. His body was turning grey as his grey skin turned into particles of searing flames that joined the surrounding firestorm.
'I... what's going on?' he thought as his mind was rearranging all the chaotic memories and concepts.
'This is not my body. This does not feel familiar. The pain is gone. How much time has passed?'
"One more sacrifice," a deep voice spoke. "Just one more sacrifice."
Kyle's eyes widened as he looked around. For some reason, this voice felt familiar, but it also felt alien.
Nevertheless, he recognized the voice, even though he had never heard it.
"You're the Demon Car?" Kyle asked. "I thought you didn't have a mind."
"I have a mind," the deep voice spoke. "I'm just not supposed to use it. It's not my job to make decisions. You know more about reality than I do. Acting autonomously in the presence of a higher existence will only make things worse."
"The Pure Energy around me is too complex. I do not work with Pure Energy, and I can't analyze it to a sufficient degree. Can you make sense of them?"
Kyle felt the surrounding Energies. All the knowledge accumulated by comprehending Laws allowed him to sense what was going on.
"My Core Spark and the Elemental have been taken from my body and pushed into yours," Kyle said. "Your existence is being converted into pure Elemental Energies. You're fusing with the Elemental. However, your existence isn't complete. You will simply turn into more Elemental Energy."
"Will this help achieve your goals?" the voice asked.
"I'm... not sure," Kyle said. "I don't think so. If you turn into an Elemental, you won't be able to disguise yourself as a Demon anymore. This will reveal us to the Abyss, and we will all die."
"What should be done?" the voice asked calmly. "Your mind is far beyond mine. I can give you advice, but you have to make the decision."
Kyle's mind was going wild as he tried to find an answer. The surroundings became more chaotic.
"You need a Spirit," Kyle said. "If you can condense a Spirit, you can remain in the Main Dimension. You will still look like an Elemental, but at least, you will still be in the Main Dimension."
"How do I condense a Spirit?" the voice asked.
"It's a complicated process. In short, you have to mimic the movements and transformations Energy makes when a fetus is developing. First-"
"That's it?" the voice asked. "I can do that."
"Are you sure?" Kyle asked. "The process is extremely complex, and-"
"What form do you wish?" the voice asked.
"You just need to retain your current form," Kyle said. "But as I've said, it's not-"
The next moment, the Energy in the surroundings warped in specific patterns and fluctuations. As Kyle felt the patterns, his eyes widened.
These were exactly the patterns that Manny had told him to make when creating the Demon Car's Spirit!
The firestorms became slower as countless fluctuations spread across Kyle's world.
"Yeah, like that," Kyle said awkwardly.
"The body won't be convincing," the voice spoke. "The best I can do is a metallic body with something that mimics a metabolism. Anyone who knows a bit about biology can tell that this is not a natural body. I need more Elements."
"More Elements?" Kyle asked.
"Yes, can you provide them?"
"I... let me try," Kyle said as he focused on his body. His perception stretched deep into his own self, and he managed to establish a connection.
"F-Fruits," Kyle's physical body spoke weakly, making Sebastian and Star Genesis look at him.
"Kyle?" Star Genesis asked.
"Fruits... all of them! All Elements!" Kyle spoke weakly. "Hurry!"
Inside the Demon Car's world, Kyle's body fell backward as he lost the connection to his real body again. "Let's hope they listen."
Meanwhile, in the real world, Star Genesis and Sebastian were arguing fiercely.
"We can't!" Sebastian shouted. "This will kill the Elemental! The Elemental is Kyle's sole source of power right now! His Spirit and mind have already changed! If we kill the Elemental, his mind will receive Neutral Energy, which it can't use! He will die!"
"He said he needs them!" Star Genesis shouted back. "Kyle should know best what he needs right now!"
