Nova smiled as she heard cheers resound throughout the entire stadium. She quickly used her crutches to climb down the stairs, making her way to Ilypo's side of the ring. Ilpyo saw Nova, and smiled wide. "Nova!" 

"Ilpyo! You won!" She cheered smiling wide. A smile grew on Ilpyo's face as the cheering got louder. Nova's attention was caught when a small gleam of light shone brightly behind Ilpyo. Tam, Taek Jegal's borrowed power, arose from Taek's body, growling. It looked down at its host then peered its fangs, eating Taek whole. 

"Ilpyo! Behind you!" Nova pointed towards Taek, making Ilpyo turn quickly. The host, executive X waved his hands. "Sorry, unfortunately, the match is over--" He said to Taek, but Taek just stood up and grabbed X's arm, tearing it off with one pull. 

"Damn....getting bitten by it...really is... the worst feeling ever...' Taek muttered as he inched closer to Ilpyo, holding X's arm in his hand. 

Taek opened his black eyes and red pupils. He glared ahead of him, while tossing away X's arm. "Die." He said, flicking his wrist upward, commanding the Meg teeth to penetrate through X. 

Ilpyo immediately attacked Taek, punching his sides and head. Taek cracked his neck, sighing. "You should die too." He told Ilpyo. 

A large black creature emerged from the ring floor. Pitch black body, red and yellow beady eyes around its body. It looked hideous. 

Ilpyo tried to attack it but a hand print, where Taek had attacked Ilpyo last, throbbed, making Ilpyo hesitate. The Tam swallowed Ilpyo whole, blood spurting everywhere. 

Nova yelled, gripping her crutches. "Ilpyo!!" 

The Tam started exploding from the inside. Executive X had blood seeping from his mouth, but nonetheless attacked the Tam, forcing it to fall on itself. 

"Your jokes have gone too far." He said, firmly. 

Ilpyo's body was thrown out of the Tam, but he was severely injured. Taek smirked as Ilpyo's body hit the ground with a loud thud. "Die." X glared. His eyes went wide.

"That can't happen." They heard. The white haired priest grinned. "Since he's so important to us." He stabbed X, quickly stealing his last breath. X fell limply to the floor.

The priest approached Taek slowly but confidently, then kneeled at his feet. "Congratulations on your victory." He said, smiling wide. "Now that you've accomplished your goal in this competition, why don't you come join us?" He asked. 

"What the heck are you talking about?" Mujin asked, stepping onto the ring with the executives trailing behind him. "What do you mean come and join you?! Look at the mess he's made!" Mujin said, teasingly. 

"Hey! Young Master." Mujin called out. Taek looked over his shoulder to Mujin. "How 'bout joining us instead? As soon as you join us... I'll grant your wish. Anything your heart desires." 

Nova clenched her fists, feeling her hands shake out of anger. 

"Becoming the richest man in the world? The president? Eternal youth?? I'll grant anything you want." Mujin exclaimed, proudly. The priest clenched his teeth, but remained calm. 

"Just ignore him--"

Taek cut in. "I've been curious about this for a while now... How're you going to grant my wish?" Taek asked, curiously. 

"The Six." Mujin started. "Veteran and founder of the Six, who's active to this day. Anything's possible with her borrowed power, acknowledged even by the monster Taejin Jin." Mujin smirked.
