(Flesh= creature, monster)
The flesh-like monster surrounded them in a circle, with its long worm-like abominable squid body. Mikado, Darcie, and Ariah found the body unpleasant to their eyes and felt weak in their stomachs. The three stood against their weakness and remained bold in the middle of the destruction of the room. Then suddenly, the lights of the gigantic lab room powered on at random while the lamps hanging from the ceiling were shaken heavily. Dust started falling from the roof due to the immense power of the flesh flooding around the facility. Darcie then looked at it and noticed that it began morphing into a different shape, "(What? It's changing form; it's looking more like a demon coming out. This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.)" Darcie thought to herself, standing before the abomination of total failure. Then, out from the flesh came a figure, a demonic creature unknown to them, approached our heroes in fierce anger. "Why have you come here? Why are you after the Heartlin Stone!?" The beast asked with complete disgust, with the sound of a slobbery pile of tar.
Taski then stepped forward and summoned his sword and a flame in his secondary hand, ready to slash into battle, no matter the odds. Darcie also summoned her electric sword behind her brother, prepared to slay the creature of detestation. However, the beast remained calm and stood firm against the Knights of Asalikith; then, it raised its hand and extended it to slam Taski into the wall. The monster extended another part of the arm and quickly slammed the others into the nearby desks, tables, and boards. Everyone caught in the attack was dealt with agonizing pressure pain, as well as structure damage. Taski sliced off the arm that held him and rushed into combat to save his friends; then, out of nowhere, Killian blasted a massive lava eruption from the palm of his hand, melting away half of the creature's flesh pound surrounding it. "Hey, Up Here. Maybe focus on all your opponents and not just a few; you pile up dejection." Killian shouted as he fell from the ceiling above, burning alive the flesh surrounding Taski. Then, Taski looked into the corner of the room and noticed the elevator was still open. "MIKADO! Quick, give us all a flight, and let's get out of here!" Taski commanded her loudly. She then applied flight to our heroes but was attacked by the monster's giant tail and was knocked head-first into a steam pipe.
This made her feel light-headed, and she heard ringing as she tried to keep her eyes on her friends. Taski slashed through the tentacles, swarming around him swiftly while rushing through the chaos. He slashed against the flesh that held his sister and then ran towards Drake. As he continued to rescue the rest of the knights, Killian blasted against the monster, burning away the disgraceful monster. "Die, you Nasty Freak!" Killian uttered toward his enemy with rage boiling out from his heart. Tentacles everywhere surrounded him and attacked him all at once, applying pressure on him. In an unfortunate turn of events, Killian was then caught by the creature and was tied up in the air, with hardly any breath to breathe. Taski looked to his side and saw his friend being squeezed with little life in him. His gaze remained frozen in shock as all his limbs held Killian in the air. Ariah, Drake, and Mikado, as well as Darcie, stood traumatized by the flesh and its terrifying power as its tentacles wrapped themselves around Killian's limbs and squeezed severely into his body. Killian lets out a powerful and unbearable scream of agonizing pain,
"GET OUT OF HERE, YOU GUYS!" Killian shouts, commanding his desire aloud. Taski ignites the flame in his sword as he rushes toward the flesh, desiring to kill only through the creature holding his alley. The flesh is cut down and burned from the flaming rage of Taski's Flame Core as parts of the flesh's body begin to melt down, causing 4th degree burns all over. Taski's rage burned deeply as his friend suffered blood loss from the pressure of the monster, Ariah watches him scorch the monster and notices his rage beginning to pour out, the thought of the incident with Chris replays through her mind. "(His anger, his power, and his... flame, it's all too much like the knight's exam incident, almost like that power he experienced is happening all over again. If her continues to go on, he could end up transforming again.)" She thinks to herself as his power worsens. He noticed the monster moving around at incredible speeds and locked onto his sitting position. Taski tripped from the tentacle below his foot but continued pushing forward to drive through the obstacles. Taski finishes his attack, which causes Killian to drop from the air and be caught by Mikado's gravity. Taski lets out a powerful battle cry after he assaults the monster; the flesh then begins to melt away from the extreme heat of Taski's Flame Core, and then it piles up and combines into a pile together.
It then formed a figure of a demonic statue of a male entity, and shortly after, the flesh exploded all over the room, covering our heroes in its disgusting scent. This then raised questions in the minds of the knights, "(What? He slashed through this thing, causing it to explode, but now another monster is arising from the pile.)" Darcie wondered to herself while searching for the answer to the situation. "You all shall perish here." The strange and demonic entity speaks unexplainable to them. Our knights are then surprised by the creature's tone of voice, which presses fear into Drake's heart. Taski then noticed the Heartlin Stone by Killian's hand, which was exposed on the floor. Taski then looks the creature in the eyes, watching as it slowly approaches him without the stone being known to its eyesight. He then waits for the perfect opportunity to move toward Killian before the creature can make its first move. He slowly walks toward Killian while speaking to the entity, "What in the world are you? You look like a demon-like creature." The creature gazed up at Taski's eyes and spoke, saying,
"You. I know who you are; you're that prince of Asalikith. You've come a long way to take this stone from me, and you don't seem to understand what I can do to you and your friends. You must be going over to your friend Killian to get that stone of mine, huh? I know how much you want it, but I'm afraid it doesn't belong to you, Asalikians." The creature announces to Taski, catching him off guard. The beast then proceeded to advance and strike Taski. Subsequently, Darcie hurled herself forward with lightning-fast speed to reach her brother in time, removing a slime tentacle before it hit her brother's face. "GO, Now! Get the stone, and let's get out of here." Darcie commands him as she slides toward the wall from attacking the tentacle. Taski then rushes toward Killian and retrieves the Heartlin stone. Still, suddenly, a tail from the flesh rushes in and crashes Taski and Killian, knocking them both into metal walkways going up, which causes Taski to drop the stone. The two felt as though they could hardly move from the impact of the tail of the flesh, "If only we could borrow Darcie's technique, we would've been out of here minutes ago.
What's with this pile of flesh?" Killian complains aloud. In the middle of the situation, Drake and Mikado work together to find the exit and giving out the location, Mikado shouts, and grabs Drake's arm and rushes away from the middle of the monster. "Over here! We need to climb upward; I can see the exit sign light up in the shadows of that hidden level." Mikado alarms the others. Taski then shouts aloud, commanding everyone, "Everyone! Get Out of Here Now! I'll keep this guy off; leave now." Darcie heard his command but denied his request, as she felt it was too risky for him to tackle alone. "I'm Not Leaving you, Brother! We'll defeat this monster together, like you said." Darcie states loudly to him. Taski charges in to take down the creature while buying time for his fellow knights to escape from the collapsing room. Killian encourages her to listen to him and take her leave immediately, "He's giving us a chance to escape; you should listen to him. He's giving his life for us to survive, this creature isn't any push over, this thing is dangerous. We can't risk letting it escape out into the world." Killian persuades her strongly. She still denies the motive to run away and then attempts to jump into the chaos to help her brother, but unfortunately, she is slammed down by a giant flesh tail.
Taski then turns to his back as he watched her become crushed under the bulky tail, his rage slowly builds up after witnessing her. Ariah is then seen in the distance attempting to jump the creature from behind; Taski insists she continue moving closer. The creature then looks at him and says, "Do you wish to say any final words to your sister, Taski? Her body won't hold out much longer." Taski's rage boils higher as the creature taunts his sister; Darcie screams with unbearable pain as the flesh crushes her body. "I'll just take that as a no, say goodbye to her." The creature states to him, but he is then sliced in half by Ariah's bravery. The creature then falls to the ground in defeat by Ariah's Clover Just Sword, but just when she thought she had the creature beaten, the creature regenerates and slaps Ariah across the massive room with a powerful tail swipe. It then looks at Ariah as she struggles to even stand, Taski's heart then thumps hard after witnessing her injury, he then shouts aloud to the creature in a wrathful voice, "Don't! Leave her Out of This! Please!" The creature ignored his voice, which then caused Taski to rush forward to put a stop to it; however, the creature then extended its arm and smashed Taski into the wall nearby. Darcie looks up at her brother, distressed, "No, we weren't supposed to go down like this. We would go far and make this land a better place."
Darcie cries in her mind as her team faces a brutal defeat. As this happened, Mikado charged in toward the creature, throwing every heavy object she could lift; however, victory seemed dim to our heroes and more in favor of the beast. Mikado was then walked into a window in the room, with her uniform torn and ripped and blood cuts on her body. Drake then looked at the madness and couldn't find a reason to attempt pushing back the abomination experiment, "(There's nothing I could do even to scratch this thing. I'm nothing but a coward... I'm a disappointment to this team.)." Drake thought as he was overcome with total fear. Killian then unleashes his magma burst explosion on the creature, causing it to undergo extensive burns and destroying most of its skin. The main creature of the flesh then dashed out from the ashes and smoke and tumbled Killian down. "Pathetic, you see yourself above the rest of these knights, yet you fail even to burn away a failed experiment like me. How Weak and such a laughingstock you've become. All of you think you can stop the madness that comes for you, in the end, the final battle. The leviathan of those titans shall crush you all." The flesh creature warns them of the coming ages and their future fate. Killian is overcome with deep and terrible anger but struggles to break free from the thick and swollen flesh that covers him.
Taski then slashes through, finds freedom, and searches for Ariah and his other allies; then instantly, the flesh creature appears before Taski and stares him down in a face-off. In the distance, Ariah began to move toward the stone, which only made Taski panic due to her footing behind the creature. Ariah slowly made her way to retrieve the stone near it; only then did the creature strike behind him, impaling Ariah's leg. She then fell to the ground, suffering tormenting pain and much blood loss; thus, Taski's heartbeats became brutally aggressive. The creature then wrapped its long, stretching flesh around her body, covering her legs, arms, chest, stomach, and neck. The creature then began compressing tightly around her body; her scream of pain was grievous to the prince. His face was frozen, and his body remained unresponsive to save her. "TASKI ..., PLEASE HEL....P M....E!" She shouted clamorously. The pressure of the flesh wrapped around her body and then caused her to spew out blood from her; she then faced a blackout and fell from the air.
As Taski watched her fall from the tentacles, the memories of her and him at the training grounds replayed through his mind. The thoughts of Ariah's past, her backstory of her bat wings and small bat fangs, and her life when she was younger. Many thoughts of her relationship with him and their growth filled his brain, all their moments, kisses, and love for each other. Her angelic voice, her beauty, her heart, her lips, her eyes, her kindness, her love, and her commitment to Taski; all these thoughts and memories overwhelmed his mind. He glances at her bloody, sore, and damaged body, and his vision of her and the surrounding room becomes corrupted. Thus, our prince, Taski Mandelen, became insensible. Now, with a mighty roar, Taski awakens from his kind and well-known self into an awakening of a king's rage. The room then became illuminated by the wrath radiating from the prince; Mikado, Darcie, Drake, and Killian gaze upon the wrathful, blazing, and boiling power erupting from their prince. "(What?! He's..., changed again. It's that same awakening he had during the Exams, Emerald can't find out about this.)" Darcie pondered within her thoughts. The other knights remained astonished as their prince awakened into his inner rage once more.
