Fight for the Underworld

New Form

So I changed out of the princess dress I stole and back to my normal pirate captain's outfit given back to my by Briana. As we sailed back to the island, Jazz had been bugging Devin about his transformation and stuff. "C'mon, just do it again," Jazz would nag.

"Dude, stahp, I don't know how I did it the first time," Devin would growl back. It went on like that throughout the whole trip. Fortunately, I had been hiding away in my cabin away from all that, occasionally talking with the other crew members on what to do when we get to mount Olympus. Since we know we can't reason with Radja anymore, the first thing we're gonna do is a direct attack at him while Anna's army deal with the opposing soldiers.

"Jazz, hop off, please!" Is what i was woken up with. I stepped outside and onto the top deck to see that it was another one of Devin and Jazz's episodes. "Come on, just try," Jazz pleaded.

Gabby tapped his shoulder, "Give it up Jazz, there's no use." He sighed in agreement and surrender. Over where I was standing, I could see Devin softly growling and pulling his hair and the red cracks on his face and hands glowed more intense. I pulled Gabby aside and whispered, "I think the bugging is working," She looked at me in confusion then I spoke up, "hey Devin! You should turn into that monster thing for us!"

He hunched over and pulled his hair, "Please...Stop it!" he groaned with a slight growl. Gabby could see what was going on and she hinted to Jazz to annoy him too. We were yelling things like "Do it, do it, do it!" While we could see him going crazier and crazier. More of the crew saw us and joined in for whatever reason. I could see him losing his mind and I knew my plan was working. God, I'm an awesome Captain. We went on and on with the chanting until finally, Devin released a roar up into the sky and landed on all fours and he was in his form from back with the fight with the owl ursus.

With spiraled horns curling up and out of his skull he stared at me with those dark, blank eyes. I quickly took a few steps back when he lunged at me but ran right into the force field materialized by Gabby. Jazz casted a spell which made a cage around him. The monster was angry and was grabbing and pulling on the bars and growling and snapping at us, the spectators.

"I don't think it's Devin anymore," Natalie said, looking at him.

"You're right," I said, "Devin is crazy, but not this wild."

Jazz studied, "Fascinating indeed."

Maryssa dodged the giant swiping paw, "Werewolf?"

"No," Cheyanne dropped in, "werewolves don't look like this, especially concerning the horns. No, he is much powerful."

"Everyone out!" Jazz yelled, pushing Gabby away, "I'm going to need some space to study this!" So we obeyed and left, and went on with our usual routine.

The morning after a night full of howling and growling, we were walking on the island then climbing up the mountain of Olympus. I had the pleasure of uncomfortably walking next to a visibly pissed off Devin. But at least he was human again, well, as human as a demon could be. On the way up, we took a break in a cave where Jazz and Gabby explained to us their findings. Apparently, thanks to the energy Devin had been exposed to in the underworld, high amounts of adrenaline in his body could transform him into his monster form.

Algerita said, "Wait, if this was about the dark energy, couldn't you guys have extracted the energy a long time ago?" Gabby and Jazz gave each other a blank stare for a whole minute.

Gabby shouted, "I could've told you that if you'd just let me help!"

Jazz definitely stuttered and stammered till he finally countered, "It wouldn't have worked anyways, the energy from the environment would just flow back into his body!" They turned their bodies away from each other and crossed their arms.

I scoot up next to Devin and say to him, "You know, I don't mind you looking like this. I'm liking the horns."

He smiled softly and responded, "Ah well, it gets uncomfortable sleeping with 'em."

"Don't worry Devin," said Algerita, "We're all going to help you control your forms after all of this." Everyone else in the cave responded in agreement.

"Meh," Simon spoke out, "Not me, Too busy chopping heads." he said polishing his chainsaw."

Suddenly, we heard a gunshot and a shriek. Taylor ran back into the cave, "I've just shot one, they're attacking!"
