Chapter 06:
Determination + Obsession = Malice

       Our rebirth took form of my body with more hair and Ikkaku's colors. To be honest, I was kinda worried. I thought I'd lose my will when I combined, having no knowledge for what was about to ensue. I tried using the Chaos Fang again... and it worked. Only this time, not only did it change in color, but it was much more powerful. Faust looked in disbelief at the result, but I couldn't say I blamed him. "What's wrong? Didn't you start this?" we asked. Irritated, he charged for us, only to be caught off guard by our own strength, which matched his. "You. I can't believe you were capable of this. Now you have to die!" Faust said in total angst. "Well then," we started to speak, "if you plan to kill me, with your insignificant strength, then it's time to put up or shut up! Come on!!" Blade looked in astonishment. "I was unaware of this possibility as well. This never occured in my time, so this is my first time seeing this." "Really?" asked the stunned Relica.

       "Why you!! I'll tear you apart!!" Blow from blow, his attempts merely bored us. We was getting irritated , so we transformed. I guess when we fused, it harmonized our powers, because it was twice as strong as when we go super seperately. It was a one sided fight, with us on top. Faust was getting the worst of it. But he took a step back, as if he had something to hide as well. "You're lucky so far. What do you call yourself, anyway?" "...Strikkura. That's what I am That's what... WE are." "Well, Strikkura, better prepare yourself!" Soon, the Faust we fought before was overbuffed, and strong. The only downsides were that he wasn't only slow, but he was a huge target. He was slightly stronger than us, for his atacks didn't do as much damage as suggested. However, we grew impatient. "Fine then, so you're a tad stronger. After this, the result won't be so similar!" We harnessed powers deep within to transform to what was now defined as our fused Ultimate stage. "This intensity... Relica, we better leave this to them!!" Blade commanded. Relica only replied, "Right!" "You two aren't going anywhere!!!" Faust, in a hasty natrue, tried to stop them, but we intervened. "Your fight... is with us alone!!"

       I could feel out endless malice escalating. If this fusion didn't break, he would be bathed in his own blood by the time we were finished. Luckily for me, we overused the power of the transformation, and were seperated before he was killed outright. Unfortunately, that didn't cease his demise, as the first thing he did when it broke was viciously beating Ikkaku, not to mention harm Dawn, Blade, and his own sister. I had no choice. My anger fueled what I needed to engage Black Final, but something was off when I transformed. If it was even possible, it grew even more relentless, in spite of my maintained reason. The wings commonly seen in this form expandedand doubled, while my hands, body, and eyes differed from the Dark Final I knew. I was me, and yet, it was also unlike me! I walked closer to him, speaking in a foreign tone, though my mind can clearly translate what I say. "Omae wa mou..." I stuck my hand through Faust's chest, "Shinde..." I flung him into the air, and lastly, blasted him with a black tornado of malevolence: "IRU!!!" Faust was no more, and only Tobias remained. "You... are next to go!!" Before this bloodlust continued, I was halted by the cry of my name: "STRIDER, PLEASE!!!" It was Dawn, once again calling out to me. I ceased, and this power didn't come without it's prices, as it exausted me completely. "I'll be back for you, just for what that... THING did to my brother!!" Tobias escaped, and I was asleep. What was that inner power all about? I guess there were still much to know anout the Final stages, things that never crossed my mind, let aside anyone else. The one that would know, is deceased. At least, that's what we know...
