Venume waited for Smoke to enter the training room before sitting down, "Channel it."
Smoke looked at her for a second and cocked his head to the side, "What do you mean?"
Venume shot a ball of poison at Smoke prompting him to quickly dodge out the way, "I said channel it!"
At this point, Smoke realized what she was talking about and tried to channel his dark form.
Venume stepped back and watched as Smoke's scales started to turn dark and spikes started to form in a perfect line down his back.
All of a sudden, the transformation stopped and Smoke fell to the ground gasping for air.
"What happened?" Venume walked closer to Smoke though she stayed her distance just in case it was a trick.
Smoke got up slowly and looked at his body, "I'm not sure…I thought I was in my dark form."
Even he was confused to the point where trying again didn't work.
Venume sighed then face palmed, "After what you just did in the cafeteria, I doubt that the form just went away. Try again."
She began to walk around him and watched as his eyes went pupiless and teeth grew sharper. "Good, Smoke, keep going!"
Smoke kept going for as long as he could until he lost focus and expelled the power outward causing a shockwave to knock Venume back, "I'm not sure what's going on. This normally works when I'm…"
Smoke stopped and looked at Venume. "When you're what? Speak up."
Smoke looked toward the ground, "When I get very angry at something…"
Venume looked at Smoke skeptically, "What do you mean by that?"
Smoke began to pace back and forth, "Whenever I get angry, I lose all self-control and bam…"
He stopped pacing and looked back at Venume, "This happened when Frostbite tried to rape Sapphire…"
Venume's eyes opened wide with anger, "That little cretin tried to do WHAT to my daughter?!"
Smoke looked at her and gave her the entire story.
"I see…so this seems to mostly trigger when Sapphire appears to be in danger." Venume smirked before leaving the room, "Stay here and don't move…or else."
Smoke gulped and watched the entrance, "What is she up to?"
He was soon answered as Sapphire came flying into the room smack into his body. "OOF!" yelled Smoke as both dragons hit the ground hard and rolled.
Venume came walking into the room with a look of non-satisfaction on her face, "WHY ARE YOU SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME!"
Venume advanced closer to Sapphire who was cowering behind Smoke, "Mother, I'm not ready yet just please give me a couple more days I promise."
Venume knocked Smoke out the way and wrapped her tail around Sapphire's neck, "Time was something you had much off and yet still, still you couldn't do what I asked!"
Smoke rose to his feet and looked at Sapphire who was bruised and chocking, "Hey let her go she's chocking!"
Venume pretended not to listen to Smoke's pleas for her daughters' life as she tightened her grip.
Sapphire looked at Smoke and held a paw out to him before passing out, "S-Smoke…h-h-help."
Venume threw her aside and let Smoke look over the body. He rushed to Sapphire and tried to feel for a heartbeat only to feel nothing. "See what happens when you fail me? Don't end up like my daughter."
Smoke started to growl and soon felt his anger catch up to him, "You killed the only dragoness I loved. You…will…die!" Smoke had fully completed his transformation and rushed after Venume.
"How dare you!" Venume countered Smoke's hits and promptly threw him away only for him to rush at her and catch her in the side. "You little brat!"
Venume went and struck Smoke in his face but it didn't affect him.
Smoke stood there looking Venume in the eyes and started to smile darkly, "I'm sorry…was that supposed to hurt?"
Smoke then shot a ball of shadow at his mentor unable for her to block or counter in time.
Venume fell to the ground and struggled to get up as Smoke opened his mouth and shot an ice ball at her.
A loud thundering boom was heard as the ball of ice just skimmed over her. "Smoke, hold on." Venume started to stand up as Smoke slowly advanced toward her.
She saw no trace of a soul in him anymore. If she wanted to awaken a monster, she succeeded.
Cyril had walked in along with Volteer only to be shocked with what they witnessed.
Venume winked at them before finally rising.
"I'm here to kill you!" Smoke covered himself in shadows then completely vanished.
Everyone looked around and heard laughing all around them.
Cyril fell down to his knees unexpectedly then Volteer fell on his side. Multiple claws were striking them out of nowhere but Venume was ready for this. After all…she knows what Smoke is feeling.
"Venume, honey, what is going on?" Cyril said arising to his feet only to get knocked down again.
Venume glared at him, "We aren't a couple Cyril so stop talking to me like we are one!"
Smoke stopped hiding and took off full stride at Venume with the intention to kill but was stopped by and unknown force.
He turned around and walked to the dead Sapphire only to watch it fade away.
The real Sapphire came running in earning everyone's attention except Smoke's, "What's going on here? All I heard were loud noises and things being smashed!"
Venume shushed her daughter and pointed to Dark Smoke earning a gasp and a look of disgust from her. "Why would you do that to him? You know it hurts his body and he cant control it!"
Sapphire ran to Smoke and made him look into her eyes, "Smoke! Look at me! I'm fine! I'm ok!"
Smoke's expression was blank and he looked her up and down. Sapphire shook but earned no response from him. "Smoke, say something…please"
He grabbed her paw with his and held her close before letting tears stream down his face, "What monster have I become?"
Sapphire wiped his tears away and shushed him, "You aren't a monster. I need you to change back to normal though, ok."
Smoke looked down then back to her before nodding. He closed his eyes and his normal scale color pallet shone and his body effects reverted back to their normal state.
Venume and the other 2 guardians watched Sapphire walk out with Smoke.
Sapphire brought Smoke to his run and laid him down, "Rest and I will watch over you."
Smoke did what he was told and closed his eyes, "Sapphire?"
"Yeah." She said looking down at her crush.
"Thanks for you know…being there for me and helping me. In a way…you are like an angel."
Sapphire blushed and looked away from Smoke, "Thanks, and no problem. Now sleep."
Smoke's breathing slowed and he stopped talking.
Sapphire looked at Smoke and smiled before cuddling up with him. Goodnight my love
