Shoukku went into a state of shock. His sister was dead. Killed right before his eyes. The others felt the same. Shichi was dead and Zenaku killed her. They were going to get revenge. Henshin was the first to try. He forgot about his wounds and transformed into his demon form. He charged at Zenaku but couldn't land a single hit. Zenaku was moving too fast. Henshin then transformed into a cheetah, hoping that the speed increase would help. It didn't. Zenaku was still too fast. He snapped his fingers and a barrier surrounded him. Henshin didn't see it in time and ran right into it. The force of the barrier sent Henshin flying back. He landed near Aito and transformed into a snake again. Zenaku just snickered and walked over to the container that held the jewel. He pressed a button and the liquid drained from the orb and it split in half, revealing the jewel. He grabbed it and, without hesitating, put the shard in the missing space. The jewel glowed with a black aura and Zenaku just smiled.

Zenaku:Finally. Now the world will be controlled by me!

Mon:He did all this to gain control over everyone?

Shoukku:Seems like it. And he killed Shichi just to do it.

Zenaku:Don't worry. Many others will die so let's just call her the lucky one. She got to experience death first.

Shoukku:The lucky one?! You bastard! You killed her! How in any way is that lucky?!

Zenaku:Then would you like to be the second?

Shoukku just glared at him. Like he'd be stupid enough to answer that question. Zenaku looked at Yoroshii and smirked.

Zenaku:Or should it be the youngest? I'm sure you're eager to see your dear sister again.

Shoukku:Don't you dare touch him!

Zenaku looked at Shoukku with a frown. He snapped his fingers and the binds restricting Shoukku squeezed tighter, making him flinch in pain.

Zenaku:Watch who you talk to with that mouth.

Shoukku gave him a death glare but Zenaku just snickered and walked over to Shichi's body. He stared at it as if looking for any sign of life. It was Mon's turn to go off on him now.

Mon:Get away from her you asshole!

Zenaku:You all are such children. One death and you go ballistic.

Aito:You wouldn't know anything about loss would you?

Zenaku:Of course not. I lost my memories long ago.

Mon:M-maybe we can help.

Zenaku:You can help by dying! Now that the jewel is completed, I'm more powerful!

Zenaku held up the jewel and shoved it into his chest. Blood spattered onto the ground and covered his clothes and hand. A few stray spots got on his face. They all looked at him like he was insane. Zenaku pulled his hand away and the jewel glowed. It closed the wound and the black aura surrounded Zenaku's body. He began to transform. His body began to grow bigger while his skin became patterned with black scales and his eyes went completely red leaving no white in them. His teeth grew sharper and his nails became claws. A tail formed and it had two small spears at the end. Spikes grew from his back and went down his tail. Horns grew from his head and twisted at the end. His nose and mouth grew longer, making him look like a dragon. Big wings that went to the ground sprouted from his back. He roared, making the ground shake and crack along with the walls. They all stared at him in horror. He had become a monster. Zenaku laughed, his voice deeper than before and more demonic.

Zenaku:Yes! I can feel the power coursing through me! Its intoxicating!

Aito:Power isn't everything! Your new form won't save you from us!
