After finding parts of the area destroyed Subaru and Kajah began fallowing the trial and end up finding Rem with cuts on her fighting in her demon state.
Kajah: REM!
Subaru: what's going on?!
Rem: Subaru...Kajah...you two go I can handle this.
Kajah: no way!
Subaru: what's going on?
Then Kajah sees a stranger with two swords slowly walking from the debris Rem knocked him into.
Kajah: oh no...not another one.
Rem: he's not as strong as the others but he's still skilled.
Subaru: then we can do this together.
Rem: But-
Kajah: no more buts alright? We are a team so let's work together like we have been. (how did he get in here?)
Rem: A-Alright.
Subaru turns into his Shamak knight form and Kajah draws his left handed sword.
Kajah: I can still use my left arm. Remember I'm a swords man to.
Rem: r-right
Subaru: Alright let's do this!
Kajah: heh hell yah.
The stranger whispering to himself.
Stranger: Kajah.
He dashes extremely fast at them but because of Subaru's new ability he tells them all were to dodge.
Rem to the left ,Subaru in the air and Kajah backwards.
Subaru: now Rem use your mace!
Rem tries to disable him with her mace but he reacts extremely fast and doges it.
Subaru: dam he a lot faster than I thought.
Kajah: my turn!
Kajah dashes the masked stranger and manages land a couple of hits.
Kajah: alright got him.
Subaru: nice. Alright get ready.
The stranger goes in for another quick attack but, once again Subaru predicts his movements.
Subaru: NOW ALL AT ONCE!!
They all attack the stranger at once giving him no room to move out but, he gets prepared and blocks all their attacks with his swords and repels them back.
Kajah: Dam...he's really good with those swords.
Subaru: yah (his fighting style is kinda similar to...Kajah's.)
Rem: we can do it we just need to catch him off guard again.
Kajah: right! Alright Subaru what's our next attack?
Subaru:...we-we charge him at once then you throw your mace at him Rem. Then either me or Kajah will go for his heart.
Rem: we won't let him escape.
Subaru: no I don't think he will even if he was seriously wounded.
Kajah: well heh alright then let's do it!
Subaru: Right! (Why...why do I have a seriously bad feeling.)
Rem: ready!
The stranger charges them again and unleashes a borage of attacks.
They get hit a little but they also get some hits in to.
Kajah: his skills are good. Man you where not lying Rem.
Rem: we can still do this.
Subaru: Alright Rem this time when he charges I'm gonna use my Shamak to blind him. Try to get him then.
Rem: got it.
Kajah: then I'll go for the final blow.
The stranger charges them once again as Subaru uses is Shamak in the area to blind him. The stranger stops and waits. He hears the mace and side steps it then he hears Kajah and blocks his attack.
Kajah: what?!
Subaru: you gotta be kidding me.
Kajah backs off and joins Subaru and Rem.
Kajah: well...now what?
Subaru:...let me think.
Rem: he doesn't have the ability as your aunts and uncles Kajah.
Kajah: yah now that you mention it.
Subaru: but his skill make up for it that's for sure.
The stranger walks slowly with a strong menacing aura around him.
Subaru: dam.
Kajah:...I have an idea Oh but you might not like it.
Rem: if it involves using your powers forget about it.
Kajah: well at this rate we won't get anywhere.
Subaru: wait I have an idea.
Rem and Kajah: Huh?
I'll use that ability that protects others. That way you two can go in relentlessly.
Kajah: what?!
Rem: isn't that a lot on you Subaru?
Kajah: yah you still need to develop it. It will drain your mana faster giving you less time in the armor.
Subaru: it's the best way to keep you from doing something crazy and to keep Rem safe.
Kajah: *sigh* alright...let's do it.
Subaru: get ready.
Subaru focuses his mana around Kajah and Rem.
Subaru: SHAMAK GUARD!!!
Both Kajah and Rem are protected by a thick layer of yin energy.
Subaru: alright you two go get em.
Kajah:right.
Rem: mhm
The stranger gets into a stance with his swords making them look like a scythe together.
Rem: looks like he's getting ready for us.
Kajah: yah let's do this together Rem
Rem: Right.
Rem grabs Kajah's right hand.
Rem: ready?
Kajah: you bet.
Kajah with all his strength hurls Rem at the stranger and Kajah using the Yin around him from Subaru lunges himself at full speed towards the stranger. The stranger steadfast himself and a massive impact happens from their collision.
The stranger keeps his ground and pushes them back only to get pulled by Rem's chained mace she was able to get around him.
Rem: got him.
Kajah: Right!
Kajah goes in for his attack but the stranger keeping his stance was able to block Kajah's attack with his swords. Kajah and the stranger began to battle it out clashing attack after attack while Rem has one of his arms chained.
Subaru: (incredible...they are both synced with their attacks yet he's still keeping up. Who is this masked person anyway?)
Rem: K-Kajah...he's starting to pull me in!
Kajah: dam it I have to end this now!
Kajah:(Wait a minute) REM LET GO OF YOUR MACE!!!
Rem: what?
Kajah: JUST DO IT!!
Rem: O-ok.
Rem let's go of her handle and the stranger jerks his arm forward to the side making the handle fly towards Kajah. In a split second Kajah dodged the strangers attack and grabbed the handle that was in the air.
Kajah: (got it! Now then) let's see what you do now.
Kajah had the strangers arm and his own arm wrapped up in the chains forcing them both to fight face to face. They both fight exchanging blows after blows attack after attack block after block but, because of Subaru's Shamak aura Kajah was taking 10% of the damage and the stranger was taking all the damage.
Kajah: THIS IS IT!!
After a long hard fought battle Kajah finally delivered the final blow stabbing the stranger through the heart with his left handed sword that was once his fathers.
Kajah: heh got you.
Stranger: *Hugh*
Rem: you did it!
Subaru: nice! (Something...Just isn't Right.)
Kajah unravels the chains and tosses it back to Rem.
Kajah: thanks Rem. Sorry about asking that from you all of a sudden heh.
Rem: it's ok. you're ok and that all that matters.
Kajah removes the blade from the strangers chest.
Kajah begins to join back with Rem and Subaru but the stranger grabs his leg.
Kajah: Huh? Still alive huh?
Stranger: heheh boy...*cough cough* I am but a measly mask controlling this mortal.
Kajah: what?
Stranger: what I saw is what you desire...what you desire is to see your father yes?
Kajah: what...are you saying?
Stranger: *cough cough cough* what...you...desire...is under neath your...nose.
Kajah: W-what...are you t-talking about?
Subaru talk to Rem and sees Kajah still over the stranger on the ground
Subaru: *in a joking tone* HEH COME ON KAJAH WE NEED WE HEAD BACK!!!
Subaru notices the stranger reaching for his face to remove the mask.
Subaru: what's...going on?
Stranger: yes Kajah...what you're looking for...
The stranger removes his mask and Kajah is looking dead at the person who was his father.
Kajah: w-what?...h-how?...th-this has to be a trick?
Rem and Subaru see over at Kajah and notice he's lifeless standing.
Stranger: y-yes...your father...Leo...
Leo lays back looking up at the sky.
Kajah falls to his knees.
Kajah: f-father?
Kajah holds and sits his dying father up.
Leo:...H...hey...l-looks...like...I'm...finally...free.
Kajah: d-dad? I-I'm so sorry...dad...maybe I-I can get you healed?
Subaru: Kajah?
Rem: what's going on?
Rem starts walking to them but the mask puts a powerful demon barrier up preventing them from getting close.
Rem: what? Kajah? Kajah! KAJAH!!!
Subaru: KAJAH!
Kajah is in tremendous shock and cannot hear Rem or Subaru calling his name.
Leo: h-hey...son...y-your...f-friends are...calling you *cough cough cough*
Kajah: dad...save your breath...I'm gonna get you healed o-ok?
Leo: *patting Kajah on the head* Kajah...y-you know...it's...o-over for m-me.
Kajah: heh...d-don't be s-silly d-dad...
Leo: K-Kajah...I wanted...I wanted to let you know...h-how s-sorry I am...i-i had n-no control...all those people...I-I killed.
Kajah: wh-what?
Leo: y-your mother...I-I couldn't...
Leo tries holding back his tears but he ended up crying still.
Leo: I couldn't stop!
Kajah: I-it wasn't...n-no...you where controlled...dad you didn't d-do anything.
Leo: Kajah...I'm...I'm so sorry...Xalvec...he...Kajah...d-dont let him win. This-This was his p-plan...to make y-you...s-suffer.
Leo looks at his son one last time.
Leo: heh...y-you've g-grown...s-so much...son...I just...wanted to let you...know...I love you.
Leo finally closes his eyes and is finally freed from his suffering however.
Kajah: d-dad?...dad! DAD WAKE UP!!! D-DON'T DIE PLEASE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR SO LONG PLEASE!!!
Emotions over come Kajah at once. Sorrow, rage, hatred, disparity, loss, regret, loneliness.
Kajah: w-what have I done?
Meanwhile
Subaru: KAJAH HEY!!! WHAT'S GOING ON!!
Rem: what can't we get close?
Demon mask: hahahah fools you all had no idea I was the demon. Hahahahah.
Rem: what?
Mask: your friend is the main target. Sense he couldn't get taken to lord Xalvec, he will go there himself HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
Rem cold heartedly without hesitation crushed the demon mask. However it was already to late.
Kajah: no no no no no this can't be this isn't happening no no no!
Rem and Subaru: K-Kajah!
As they got closer they where both pushed back by Kajah's massive demonic aura.
Rem: ah!
Subaru: *ngh* what the hell?
Kajah: no...this is all my fault...I did this...I killed my dad...my father...he's gone because of me...no...no!NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
A massive amount of aura and mana began to consume the area Kajah is in.
Rem: KAJAH!!!
Subaru: KAJAH!!!
Kajah heart beat with one massive plus completely destroying the curse that was around it. His heart became black and his body changed drastically. As the massive amount of power grew the whole world felt a very uneasy feeling.
Alexander is with Lunanie and the others in the town.
Alexander: it has began.
Lunanie: wh-what is this-this sensation?
Raswaal: yes...I feel it to.
Puck: this...this feeling...it's unreal...like nothing I've felt before.
Ram: wh-what is this?
Reinhard: my sword is shaking uncontrollably? (Are you scared?)
Felt: why does my heart feel so heavy?
Anastasia: I-I feel...scared.
Crusch:.....(I to feel that way.)
Felix: I-I don't feel good.
Julius: this...this pressure I'm feeling...I sense something extremely powerful has awakened.
Wilhelm: what is this...monstrous power I sense.
Priscilla: I-I don't understand what going on...(why do I feel so heavy?)
Emilia: *holding her chest* this...isn't right.
Alexander: that...that power you all feel...is from Kajah.
Lunanie: Kajah?! He's...he's suffering Alex. tell me what's going on right now!
Alexander: *clenching his fists* Kajah must have killed his father.
Lunanie: what? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!
Alexander: mom...Leo never died...he was dads puppet.
Lunanie: what?! Oh my god...KAJAH!!!
Alexander: and knowing that Kajah has never cried in his life this will be the first time ever.
Emilia: what? What do you mean?
Alexander: thank goodness I put the kids to sleep. they wouldn't be able to handle this at all. Now as I was saying Kajah never has cried in all his life even at birth.
Emilia: what?
Lunanie: I...had no idea.
Alexander: course not mother. No way you could have known.
Raswaal: care to tell why that's important?
Alexander: because...if he cried he would unleash his demon powers. And destroy everything. Knowing this his mother my sister Carmella told him while he was still in her stomach to try his hardest to never cry even in the worst at times. Knowing how powerful my sister was that was something of a seal.
Puck: your family sure is something else but, what do we do now?
Alexander: now? We wait and hope.
Meanwhile back to Kajah and the others.
Kajah:RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Subaru: KAJAH!!!
Rem: KAJAH!!! (This...this is...he's in so much pain...Kajah...what's happening to you? Was this what Alexander was talking about?)
Subaru: (this is...just like my vision.)
