**Sora POV**

As I lay on my bed, the gentle hum of the air conditioning the only sound in the room, I was interrupted by Reagan's voice calling out my name. He said someone was knocking on the door.

"Let them in, Reagan," I said, getting up from the bed.

Reagan rose from his chair and walked over to the door to open it. My heart sank as I saw Remi standing there, her face contorted with anger and disappointment.

"Sora, we need to talk," she said, her voice serious and clipped.

I braced myself for the coming conversation, knowing it wouldn't be pleasant. "Why did you suddenly pop up at my house? There is no reason for your visit," I said, trying to deflect her questions.

"You know why I'm here. Why was Rayne attacked by you? What is your explanation? Do you understand how angry Leo is right now? I don't think I have ever seen him like this in my life," she said, her voice rising in frustration.

"I can't explain why. Not even I know myself. If you want an answer, go to Rayne. If she didn't tell you, then go to Williams," I said, feeling a lump form in my throat.

"What is wrong with you? Tell me, Sora," Remi demanded, her face becoming increasingly angry.

I tried to explain the situation to her, but it was clear she didn't understand. No one would ever understand what truly happened that day.

"Explain it to Leo then. I'm sure it will get you off his case," Remi said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

I laughed at the suggestion. Leo on my case? He was a dense-brained fool who wouldn't get mad, right?

But as I laughed, I felt a menacing pressure creeping closer to the penthouse. It couldn't be.

"Sora," Leo's voice thundered as he stormed into the room, his eyes ablaze with fury.

"Leo!" I said, amused by his sudden appearance.

But his eyes narrowed as he grew angrier by the second. "Sora, you have three seconds to explain yourself, or I will make sure that you don't make it out of here alive."

My laughter died down as Leo's demeanor turned serious, and I could feel the weight of his anger bearing down on me. I could sense his aura pulsing with fury, and a chill ran down my spine. This was not a game anymore.

"Leo, calm down," I said, my voice tense as I tried to placate him. "No one died. I can explain why it happened, but not when you're so blinded by rage."

Leo's fists clenched tightly as he strode towards me, his steps heavy with fury. Suddenly, he lashed out, his fist connecting with my face with a sickening crunch. I was sent hurtling through the air, crashing through a window and plummeting to the ground below.

I groaned as I hit the ground, my vision blurred and my head spinning. Leo leaped out of the broken window and landed on the ground beside me, his aura pulsing with energy.

"Sora, enough with the games," he snarled, his voice low and dangerous. "Explain yourself now."

I chuckled weakly, trying to brush off the pain. "I'd love to, Leo, but not when you're about to tear me apart. Let's talk when you're calm and collected."

With a snarl, Leo slammed his hand into the ground and shouted, "Scathing Eruption!" Huge blocks of stone erupted from the ground, and I leaped and dodged, my heart racing.

As I moved, I closed the distance between us, using the pillars he had created to gain an advantage. Suddenly, Leo raised his hand and unleashed a fiery beam of energy at me, scorching my face and leaving it bleeding.

Anger surged through me, and I launched myself at Leo with a fierce punch, imbuing my fist with the power of light. Leo's eyes sparked with electricity as he glared at me. "Bastard," he growled, and the fight continued.

Leo bounced back with an electrifying punch that sent me to the ground. As I struggled to my feet, my vision blurred and my head ringing from the impact of the punch, I realized that Leo was not playing around. His aura was fully activated, and the energy emanating from him was palpable, sending a shiver down my spine.

I stumbled backwards, trying to catch my breath, but Leo didn't give me a moment's respite. He came at me with a ferocity that I had never seen before, unleashing a barrage of attacks that forced me to stay on the defensive.

I could feel the heat emanating from his scathing eruption, each blast narrowly missing me as I dodged and weaved between the pillars of stone. I knew that I couldn't keep this up for long; Leo was too powerful, and his attacks too unpredictable.

In a split second decision, I decided to take the fight to him, charging forward with a speed that caught him off guard. I closed the distance between us in an instant, my fist glowing with the power of the light as I aimed for his face.

Leo was quick, however, and he managed to dodge my attack at the last second, his body crackling with electricity as he retaliated with a thunderous punch of his own. I barely managed to block it, the force of his blow sending me skidding backwards across the pavement.

"You're not getting away that easily, Sora," he growled, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. "You have a lot to answer for, and I won't let you leave until you do."

I blocked Leo's punch with my right hand, then with my left hand, I unleashed a powerful blow that sent him flying back. I could feel my body pulsating with energy, my senses heightened, and my mind clear. This was what it felt like to be in control.

Leo got up and charged towards me, his fists glowing with electric energy. I could see the rage in his eyes, but I was no longer afraid. I was ready for him.

As he got closer, I sidestepped his attack and used his momentum to throw him over my shoulder. He landed hard on the ground, his aura dissipating as he struggled to catch his breath.

I walked over to him, my hands glowing with a bright light. "Leo, I don't want to hurt you," I said, extending my hand to help him up. "Let's talk this out."

But Leo was too prideful to accept my help. He got up on his own, his eyes still full of anger. "I don't want to talk," he spat, summoning lightning to his fingertips. "I want to finish this."

I knew I had to act fast. I focused my energy and unleashed a powerful blast of light, engulfing Leo in a blinding aura. He staggered back, disoriented, as I approached him.

I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, causing him to wince in pain. "Leo, listen to me," I said, my voice firm but calm. "I didn't attack Rayne. I was possessed. You have to believe me."

Leo struggled to break free, but I held him tight. "I don't believe you," he growled. "You're lying."

Rayne's eyes followed every movement of the fight, her expression a mix of concern and fear. She eventually made her way to Leo, who was now in a state of unbridled rage. The veins on his forehead bulged as he clenched his fists so tightly, his knuckles turned white.

"Leo... you are acting the same way that Sora did when he attacked me, the only difference is, you have your consciousness." Rayne spoke, her voice laced with worry. She reached out and slapped him across the face, hoping to snap him out of his frenzied state.

Leo retaliated immediately. "WHY DON'T YOU EXPLAIN IT TO ME THEN, IT WOULDN'T HAVE COME TO THIS," he shouted, his eyes blazing with anger.

Rayne shook her head in response, "Why would I ever try explaining something like this to someone like you in a state like this, it would the equivalent of talking to a wall."

I got up from the ground and wiped the dirt from my clothes. As Rayne talked to Leo, I walked over to her and embraced her in a tight hug. It was a relief to see her doing much better after our previous encounter.

"I'm sorry Rayne, I promise that I will never let that happen to me again," I said, my voice cracking with emotion.

She smiled and hugged me back. "I know Sora, I forgave you before the fight between you and me was even over, never beat yourself up about something you had no control over," Rayne said, her words filled with compassion.

Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. They were exactly what I needed to hear. I couldn't keep punishing myself for something that was out of my control.

"It can't be..." Leo said, his shoulders slumped in defeat.

I turned to face him, my eyes meeting his. "Leo, we've been friends for so long now, you doing something like this is completely out of character for you. To see you in this state of anger pains me more than you can think. Let's just drop this tough act and accept that you should have taken things more calmly," I said, hoping to get through to him.

Leo hung his head in shame, realizing the error of his ways. "Yeah, you're right," he said softly, his anger subsiding.
