The Red Chain burned in his hands, though there was no heat, no fire. Such irrationalities would be a thing of the forgotten past, Cyrus knew as he raised his hands to release the chain, to pull Arceus, the Original One, into its snare.

All things would end. All things would begin.

"Haha - Nice try." Knuckles replied, lowering himself just a little further so he was closer to Cyrus' eye level.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, we're all screwed. Tell me what to do and I'll help you but I'm not just lettin' you do as you please. Not right now."

It was a risk, and a major one. Should he take the chance of letting Knuckles know about the Red Chain's powers?

No, he couldn't. "I speak the truth. I alone can end this, as I alone began it."

"OK then... Just tell me what you need to do."

Knuckles released his shoulder and took a step back, but he was watching Cyrus like a hawk. There was just too much at stake to takehis words at face value...

Cyrus bit back the pain and straightened a bit, looking Knuckles in the eyes. "...The device formed with your Emerald." Yes, a bit of a reminder that Knuckles had had a part in all this. "That is the means to control this reaction. But I caution you that I tell the truth! I am the only who can set it right."

"....and if I let you get the device, give me your word that you'll use it to set things straight. I don't know how far I can TRUST your word... but I don't see much alternative right about now."

If he'd been thinking more clearly, he would not have used the words 'set things straight' considering how subjective that was.

Oh absolutely he would set things straight. Of course, that was what he'd been trying to do all along.

"I swear on my very life," Cyrus vowed. He was never one to take vows lightly, either, despite knowing full well that Knuckles wouldn't mean those words the same way he did.

"....OK then."

Knuckles still looked and sounded guarded.

"You're in no state to get it... where is it? Your dorm? Somewhere else? Just tell me what it looks like and where to find it, I'll bring it back here to you."

"Where I bound Arceus..." He glanced up towards the broken wall, to the room where it had started. "A chain of red crystal. Do not touch it directly, but keep it contained."

Of course, he didn't say directly that that room was where it would be.

"Alright." Knuckles replied affirmatively. "Just keep yourself upright and supported on that tree till I get back, OK?"

Knuckles started off at a run. Unfortunately for Cyrus, that run took him in the direction of the red chain and as he brought his foot up, it caught against the sole of his shoe and flew upward into the air...
