"Fool, you think your little friend can do anything about me? When in fact she is what awakened me?"
Desire wouldn't let up. He was like a backseat driver in Paul's mind. Paul whispered to Ran, "Good night, thank you for trying..."
Paul stared blankly at Ran for a moment, was she truly the cause of this entity called Desire? Paul told himself he'd simply have to learn to control his evil persona, he won't seperate himself from Ran willingly.
Paul fell back onto his bed, and slipped into a slumber. Maybe a good night's rest would help him deal with Desire, Paul hoped so.
Dreamtime. Paul seldomly dreamed, but now we was having a dream. A very vivid dream. He was in his dinosaur form, and he was standing in a dark room. The purple eyes he had seen when Desire first spoke to him were staring back at him. The eyes moved toward him, into a patch of light. Desire's physical body was revealed. He resembled Paul's dinosaur form, but he was larger and had black scales instead of brown. Desire hissed at Paul and said, "Don't you see? You are inferior to my power. You cannot fight me forever."
Paul readied his claws for battle and murmured, "Oh yes I can..."
Paul lunged at Desire and slammed him to the ground. Desire had no time to react before Paul unloaded a flurry of punches into his face. Desire hissed and kicked Paul off of him with a free leg. Desire stood up and walked toward Paul. He grabbed his host by the throat and lifted him into the air.
Desire said, "My boy, your efforts are futile."
Paul glared and snapped his head forward, headbutting Desire. Desire dropped Paul almost instantly and Paul bent down and pointed his back spikes toward Desire. A flurry of spikes shot from his back and they all impaled Desire. Desire winced from the pain and fell down to his knees with blood dripping from impalements covering his body.
"I-I wasn't expecting that....don't think you've won. I'll be back, and I will take control of your body!"
Desire shrank into the two misty purple eyeballs and disappeared into the darkness of Paul's mind. Paul roared happily and pounded the ground.
Paul snapped out of his dream. He vanished from the pitch-black arena of his dream and found himself, in normal human form, in his dorm. Ran was still asleep. Paul smiled, he'd beaten Desire for now. He whispered to her, "I've driven back Desire, he won't be giving me any trouble for a while..."
