JaJa and Kyle revealed their true selves. They were monsters, but nothing like what I had seen before. Instinctively I drew my blade and told Michael to hide as Zane summoned his revolver and got into position. I immediately took off on a dart to his throat, but when I got there my strongest move , Switch Grip Thunder, just made him angrier. After a long fight we hadn't gained a clear advantage although while I was on the other side of the fusion they decided to target Zane by throwing a boulder at him. In that moment I had no time to think I just had to go, I pushed my body to go faster than ever before and managed to tackle Zane out of the way just before the Boulder hit. But as I was getting to my feet KyJa sent another volley but it was too late to try and avoid it. I immediately swung my sword and managed to cut the rock clean in two.
After that we continued battling with me only managing to attack it's feet before needing to retreat. Eventually I got bold and went for the neck again. This should've been fatal. KyJa struck me 10x harder than Jai-Kuza had sending me spiraling into a cliff and laying collapsed for a moment. In that time Michael had thought I died and decided to try and be a hero and attack the beast alone. By the time I rose I was puking blood and Micheal was closing in on the monster. By the time Zane had noticed it was too late. KyJa had struck him and sent him into the sand. All I remember is speaking one phrase.
"You've tried to kill me. You've become a being we've sought to defeat. And all of that was fine... until you struck my brother"
I was told after the battle that what happened next was extraordinary. A visible dark Aura appeared around me and my blade changed from vibrant sparks to dull bones. Before anyone realized I had moved I was at KyJa's throat dual wielding blades. After that a flash of light, a strike, and the creature was shredded to pieces. By the time I came to I remember being confused. I didn't know where I was or what happened but one thought stuck out. What happened to Michael, but before I could find out I passed out.
By the time I woke Zane was kneeling over me Applying first-aid. When I gathered enough strength I asked about Michael.
"He'll be fine" Zane responded "He's resting now. The blow broke a few bones but overall he's alright"
I almost passed out from relief. He was alive, that's all that mattered.
