Kirby's fist glows with ice blue energy. She comes at Bryon. He defends her attacks momentarily before Kirby smacks her palm into his chest. Byron clutches his chest and staggers back. The color of his skin turns blue.


KIRBY
Farewell, Byron. I will always love you.

Bryon grabs her wrist with one hand. With the other hand, glowing with orange and pink energy, he throws it into Kirby's stomach. She flies back. Kirby is down. Byron is weakened, but his skin has returned to normal.

KIRBY
How...How is this possible? You should be dead...you should have died instantly. The Kiss of...the Black Ice...it's the strongest there is.

BYRON
No...not the strongest.

KIRBY
What?

Byron falls to his knees.

BYRON
You know why I loved Dawn so much? Because...she taught me that...love is the strongest thing there is. And the greatest kind of love...is when...two parts come together as one.
