The howl tore into the village's core like a blade. The shadow of the man he used to be was perched on the rooftop of an all too familiar building. The center and hive of the village shook and cracked from the immense surge of raw energy released by The Beast. The figure let out a low chuckle that sent shivers through the night breeze. Five tails swayed in the air, giving a scene of false calmness. The Beast looked up at the sky and took in a deep whiff of the air, relishing the smell of fear.

In a split moment the shadow brought down its body and roared at the ground beneath him, sending the roof to shatter and come undone around him. The Leaf's center was now destroyed, leaving the cub to fall down, until he hit the ground below, hunching on all fours and looking at the debris from the building. He sped off through the streets at such speeds that he sliced everything and anything in the path of the wind coming up behind him. People were sliced, destroyed so fast that a human could utterly never see it with the naked eye.

One man saw this, however, and was stalking The Beast. His red eye was a ruby in the night, but soon was a blur with the man trying to keep up with the shadow. He was not alone, for the whole secret squads of assassins were with him, planning the quickest way to dispose of The Beast. A sixth tail started to sprout and form, only making the hunters one chance all the more desperate.

They launched their attack, metal flying through the air and figures lunging at The Beast. It turned around; yellow eyes letting no sense of danger or surprise enter or escape them. Dark energy flowed and formed around The Beast. As soon as the assassins attacked, the energy captured them and broke them in half, sending them in pieces to the ground. One survived, paralyzed from the sheer animalistic and destructive will of The Beast. Paralyzed, the Copycat looked in awe as the shadow approached him, sniffing around him and soon looking into his red eye. His red eye remained cool but fear had already engulfed it. The Beast raised its claw into the air, only to swiftly bring it down on the now headless Copycat. The now dead man's red eye still looked on at The Beast; a thin layer of moisture covered the eye. The Beast howled at the night sky once again, signifying that it was truly the end of the village he loved.
