Castle then walks up to the port making a cut on his arm dropping his blood on the stone lit disk.
"blood of my people to open,blood of the king to close." castle mumbles to himself.
The disk stopped and began turning in the opposite direction as the portal flickered and in seconds closed.
the portal would close on its own after ten minutes of being completely open or castle could force it close with his blood.
castle knew letting it close on its own wasn't a smart idea and he had to stay on the outside of the portal to do so.
unlike the amount of blood it took to open the gate port, to close it only took a few drops of the king's blood.
Castle turned to face the incoming wave.
"hmph" Castle stretched out his arm as multiple dark energy waves were released.
castle sprung forward trailing the energy waves as they made contact with the ones in front.
He sliced and drilled his claws into them one by one. his speed and strength was unmatched as he catapulted forward time and time again.
Every time he jumped forward and landed an energy wave would be released in a circular radius making space and pushing them back in which Castle took advantage of this, killing them left and right with brute strength.
each time they would recover and began to overwhelm him he would leap into the air landing in another area repeating the same steps.
he grabbed two goblins by their heads smashing them together killing them instantly.
He slid under the legs of a giant troll, climbed up on its back to its shoulders and skewered his claws through its neck.
As the troll fell he rode it down like a surfboard and just before it hit the ground he jumped off and onto another one that was charging forward swinging a giant axe.
The troll ran widely using one of his hands reaching over his shoulder trying to grab castle.
castles jumped in the air off his shoulders coming down with a punch that smashed the troll head into its chest.
Bang !
hahahahaha ! castles muscles bulked up even more as he punched through the stomach of a lower bane while he grabbed it and threw it at another.
grrrrrrrr!
castle growls while jumping into the air. a black energy with white swirling matter could be seen gathering in his mouth.
gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The beam shot out his mouth crashing hitting the ground. he dragged the beam across the sea of creatures in a zizzag motion.
It was like some kind of energy beam flame thrower. a simple touch by the beam was disintegrating many of them as they fell over eachother trying to get out of it's path.
once he stopped, scorched bodies could be seen everywhere.
castle landed on the ground and started laughing. veins popped up everywhere on his body. his blood lust had been rising since he used duality, his mind started to become dark as he continued to be consumed with killing.
"more, I need more." hahahahaha.
his claws shot out of his paws and were covered with the same black and white energy swirling around them as he dashed into to the sea of banes,goblins and trolls once again.
He released over fifty claw strike waves of energy, blood and guts flew and spilled all over the place.
being the smartest out of all the creatures the orcs started to back away and run.
"and where do you think you're going " castle says appearing right in front of a group of orcs.
he then cleanly in one motion clawed all six of their heads off and started laughing like a deranged maniac. his laughs were deep and growly so it made it very chilling hearing such a laugh.
his power spiked more as he spilled more of the enemies blood. he was like a tank mowing through everyone and anything that was in his way.
The Bane named snare could be seen in the distance with a cocoon strapped on his back. Dawns face was the only thing that could be seen. he watched in complete shock as Castle wildly attacked and killed.
"there's no way we are beating that." he said to dawn as she was now awake.
"I've never seen such power from him before, what is this." she says while looking at the black and white swirling lights dancing in the field.
"he's completely out of control, I didn't know he was this strong." snare responded to her non question.
"So my daughter, this is the king of the Mongrels, the one named Castle you believe can help us bring forth a superior generation." A strange feminine light voice spoke.
Standing behind them was a purple scaly creature that stood six feet with a pair of bat like wings.
she had a thick body with four tails that swung behind her, each tail looked to be different in some ways at the end.
Her face resembled Dawn's as they both had a flat stingray type head,but hers was more defined and thicker,with horns and tentacles at the top reaching her lower back.
each suction cup on the tentacle like hair were red and so were the random patterns all over her body. her eyes continuously switched from yellow,red,green and blue every few seconds.
"Mother, snare and Dawn says in unison.
snare quickly dropped on one knee holding his head down. Dawn was still on his back wrapped up like a fly in a spider web.
"you may stand my offspring." she says to snare.
snare stood and turned his back to her in order for Dawn to speak.
"yes mother, that is castle, I'm sorry I failed you... the rest of his kind got away through a gate port and I could not defeat him like I originally believed. "
"i see, he sure has done a number on you Dawn..... i felt your frustrations and fear and so I've come to help." she says walking up to the cocoon placing her hand on Dawn's cheek.
"but mother you are in no condition to fight, you've been bearing hundreds of children almost every day, I'm sure you are weary."
"no worries my child, my wombs have completely been removed, I am no longer able to bear children and haven't so for over ten hours. my body has completely healed."
"I did not come to fight myself, instead I've come to pass everything I am on to you,I was going to wait for your return ,but sensed your troubles and knew I should come."
"you are indeed dealing with a monster greater than my current self it seems."
The creature they called mother eye color stopped on blue as a burst of energy flowed out.
she grabbed dawn and laid her on the ground.
Castle sensed the energy spike from a distance as he still was having a field day killing and mowing down his enemies like a zero turn lawnmower.
he slowly turned his head in the direction of the queen with an evil looking grin,the blood of his victims dropped from his mouth, he was currently holding on to the head of a lower bane.
his eyes gathered a black and white light as a beaming energy shot out.....
zzzzzzzzzboom!
dust flew and the ground caved in.
once clear,snare dawn or the queen was nowhere to be seen.
Castle eyes darted around for a bit until he saw them flying in the air.
snare was being carried with the queen's feet looking like an eagle that swooped down a picked up dinner, while Dawn was in the queen's arms.
Castle jumped out of the remaining sea of beasts into an open area. upon landing he shot out multiple rays of energy into the sky.
The queen successfully dodged all of them even with the extra weight she was carrying.
"Dawn it seems this Castle of yours will not give us the time for me to transfer my powers to you the normal way, however there is one more way." She said taking in a deep breath.
"you must eat my heart,don't question me and just do it." I was going to die either way no matter which path was chosen." she says while speeding across the sky.
"My time was up the second you were born."
The scales around the queens chest separated revealing gray thin skin underneath. Dawn's limbs were still too damaged for her to even lift a finger and her regeneration was still healing her very slowly.
the queen knew this as one of her tentacles reached around stabbing herself through the chest. at this point she had slowed down low to the ground releasing snare a great distance away from castle who was now in hot pursuit as he jumped from area to area.
After dropping off snare she bolted upward high into the sky while her tentacle was still in her chest.
"I will not perish when I remove my heart,only when you've consumed it, we should be high enough for when you do,your transformation will be complete before you are back on the ground."
Pschhhh !
she removed her heart,which was the size of a golf ball, Banes hearts was this size because it was easier to move.
at will the new gen banes could move their heart anywhere inside their body as a defense measure. this was the reason Castles attack through the left side of her chest didn't work.
he knew from experience,the only way to kill the new gen banes was to destroy their hearts, but never meet one quick enough to move it before he strikes in which he didn't know they could do such a thing.
the queen pushed her heart inside Dawn's mouth and made her bite down.
The queen's body began to jolt while her wings flapped widely.
"I will make sure our species rain over all life, thank you for your sacrifice mother." Dawn thought as she chewed and swallowed with tears in her eyes.
an immense purple and red energy engulfed Dawn as it felt like her insides were being pulled out.
black bat like wings ripped out of her back as the scales on her body rotated and turned blood red,horns grew out of her skull as her entire head started to morph.
her skull now looked to be in shape of a human with Medusa like hair,but instead of snakes it was tentacles like the queen.
her eyes flashed red,yellow,blue and green as well while her Trident like tail became thicker. her scale covered breasts increased in size while her backside became plump.
Castle could barely see them as they were too far up, even with how high he could jump which was over six hundred meters. his jumping power had nothing against something that could fly as high as they were at the moment.
the queens body continued to fall wildly out of the sky as Dawn's transformation became complete.
She twisted herself around scrunching up her wings as she dived down fast wrapping her tail around the queens body.
she jetted through the sky telepathically calling out for snare.
Castle was closing in much quicker now that they were completely in his sight.
Dawn finally was in a range in which her telepathy could be heard by snare.
she gave him orders as to where she would drop off the queens body and to head back their domain.
by the time snare got to the queens body Dawn was already back in the air flying full speed towards castle.
seeing this Castle stopped his pursuit thinking she was coming to him,but instead she flew right past him,by the time he could react it was too late.
he turned around looking as she passed by.
" FIGHT MEEEEEEEEE ! "
Castle began his pursuit once more jumping over large areas of the land that once was beautiful,but now desolate.
They were currently ten minutes away from where they had started fighting and it looked like Dawn was heading back to the remaining horde of monsters.
Ar least that's what castle thought while chasing behind her. she was at least three minutes ahead of him as her flying speed was very great.
Castles mind had settled down a bit,in his current form the more he killed the more he would lose a part of himself and become more and more out of control even to the point of turning on and killing his own kind.
Spade,Mastiff,flash and Bison were the only ones that knew of this form called duality in which castles power will rise in leaps and bounds but with the price of blood.
once activated the form it wasn't any going back, the only way was for him to lose consciousness or run out of energy.
Dawn arrived back at the horde landing and walking towards the disk that was still on the ground where the portal once was.
"Trace" she whispers as she touches the disk and within seconds the portal reopened as her eyes lit up blue.
She then turned around to the remaining beasts commanding them to go in. there were around five hundred left between combining the lower banes,goblins trolls and orcs.
They stormed through the portal as commanded.
Seeing a blue circular energy appearing out of nowhere far ahead of him, despair reached Castles heart as the realization of what it could be dived into his mind.
" wait,no it couldn't be....that's impossible." he said to himself as he pushed five times as much power into his legs breaking his jumping limit.
Boom!
Castle shot off like a rocket creating a massive Crater where he once stood.
Seeing this in the distance Dawn smiled.
"that's right, come to me my king."
The last of the army poured in the gate port, it only took a minute since they were already near.
Castle was descending down as the last of them went through and by the time he landed Dawn smashed the stone disk into pieces with a strong stomp.
seeing this as he descended brought even more rage out of him as he threw a powerful swing that brought a huge guest of wind behind it sounding like a train coming in the distance.
even with her current upgrade in power the swing was too fast for her to dodge at that range,but she did manage to block it as the sound of a loud bang resembling a gun shot ringed out.
Bang !
Dawn slid several feet back after blocking the punch with her forearms in the shape of an x.
She flew back forward using her wings leaving a red streak behind her stretching out her claws and as she got close, castle performed a summersault right over her gliding body while grabbing her behind her head as she flew by and using his weight and strength shoved her face and body in the ground like a bug.
The tentacles on Dawn's head sprung up wrapping themselves around castles arm. the suction cups on them turned red as a line fire raced up his arm.
roarrrrrr! castle shouts in pain.
he tried snatching his arm away but the tentacles were very strong along with the suction.
the pain surged throughout his body and in seconds the suction cups changed to blue, the fire and the pain stopped for a split second during the color change and castle used that split second to raise her up and slam her to the ground five or six times at an unbelievable speed trying to loosen its grip.
seconds later ice climbed up castles arm reaching his shoulder as the tentacles released it.
castle arm was completely covered in strong ice that vibrated with a yellow tint.
Dawn jumped up while contracting her wings fully into her back and swatted castle to the side with her Trident like tail sending him flying several feet.
castle roars while speeding back in with one of his arms covered in ice. Dawn's tail lit up yellow as the tip changed to a ball with spikes instead of the Trident and soon as Castle was close enough he was swatted away again.
Dawn's tail was ten times faster than her throwing a punch or kick. this happened time and time again as Castle blindly attacked.
Castle opened his mouth and bit down on his ice covered arm after being slapped away for the sixth time as black light mixed with the ice shattering it.
Dawn moved in striking with her tail again, this time castle was blocking each swipe,but it wasn't without difficulty. seeing this Dawn eyes glowed red changing the color of her tail and tentacles red as the end of her tail morphed into a scaly sharp double bladed sword.
Her tail swung fiercely and with speed moving in an unorthodox manner like a snake. castle blocked her attacks with his claws looking for an opening and when he couldn't find one after some time he jumped back releasing a roar mixed with his black and white energy.
Dawn flew to the sky and the beam of energy followed as castles head moved with her.
his beam was being dodged with ease as long as Dawn was in the air and so he jumped into the sky releasing five claw strikes in the direction Dawn was going and in doing so forced her a certain way in which three pitch black balls appeared crashing into her causing a explosion.
Castle dived into the smoke clawing her back to the ground.
"stay down." he roars as he descends attempting to land on top of her body as it hit the dirt.
He was surprised when his feet hit nothing but rocks and burnt sand.
Pschhhh !
Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!
he roars in pain as Dawn's tail went through his right thigh scraping across his femur bone.
In rage Castle swung wildly sending out claw strikes everywhere,but one minute Dawn was in one spot and the next she wasn't. a purple energy swirled in her palms as a spinning energy disk was created.
After throwing it with force she rushed behind it with her tail at the ready, she was currently using it as a distraction.
Castle could tell the incoming disk was incredibly dangerous if it made contact and so he surprised Dawn with his next move as four black balls appeared in front of him twice his size in a horizontal line.
The disk slammed into the one in the middle slicing through it and as it did castle appeared out of the one on the right throwing two claw strikes at Dawn and disappearing back inside.
"he's inside them she says to herself."
while signaling the disk to head for the ball on the right,but as she did castle appeared out the ball on the left shooting out a beam of energy from his mouth.
Boom!
the beam hit Dawn's arm completely blowing it off.
she screamed in agony as Castle smiled and rushed in,but to his surprise she was ready.
The disk circled and was trailing behind castle, seeing this more of the same balls appeared in a circular radius around dawn, twelve of them to be exact as castle disappeared.
