Okay, I know I finished Koji's story, but I saw the second episode of season 2 of DragonSaver's "Phoenix of Yin, Dragon of Yang" and I'm so pissed off that I had to write this. It's also an occasion to add a detail I forgot to add.
As our heroes were still traveling across the sea on their watercraft, Crane was looking at a Samoan necklace made of sea blue pearls around his neck. It has been given to him by Riki, the leader of Koji's tribe and he said that, as long as he would wear it, the ocean would do everything to protect him. It was a gift for backing up his son all along.
"Are arriving soon? I can't wait to see China." Kaiba asked.
"We should get there soon." Koji assured before a portal suddenly opened in the sky and a scroll fell down from it and he grabbed it in his hands.
"What's this?" Kaiba asked.
"It's a scroll from Karasu's world. He's my friend. I wonder what's inside." The young beetle opened it and read the letter.
"Koji, it's Shen from the Jade Palace writing.
I'm afraid I've got bad news for you.
In our world, my parents got killed by an unknown person and the imperial army believes Fenghuang is responsible. They arrested her and took her into captivity.
Karasu wanted to stop them and we had to hold him back. He cried a lot after that.
I just though you should know it."
After reading this letter, Koji widened his eyes in shock and dropped the scroll on the floor.
"This is bad." Crane said in shock.
Koji's body was taking by a wave of spasmes. He kept looking in the same direction, his breath was getting violent and he putted an hand over his quick beating heart. He was feeling something really strong taking it. Hate!
Suddenly, an arrow came flying into the watercraft and it belonged to a small group of pirate goats on a small wooden boat that the group didn't saw earlier.
"Well, well, well! Looks like it's our lucky day!" The apparent captain said. "Give us all your treasures and nobody will be hurt!"
As Crane was about to negotiate, Koji's body started producing Chi - but not his usual black and red Demon Chi nor his new ocean blue one. This one was purple.
INSIDE KOJI
Cong Wo was looking around as purple energy was flowing everywhere. He then looked in shock as a strange creature appeared: it has a black slender and abnormally long body and limbs with a white head that only had a mouth that was filled with purple liquid. It even had black tentacles jumping from his back.
"Atrocious?! The Demon of Rage?!" He said in surprise. "How can you be here? Is Koji...?"
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
The others noticed the purple Chi around Koji as well as a new mask appearing on his face: it was round, white and had purple markings that made it look like crying eyes.
"K-Koji?" Kaiba said in shock. "What are you-"
Before he could finish his sentence, Koji appeared before the captain in a split-second. This last one slowly looked down to see that Koji's arm was piercing his chest which also shocked everyone here. The young beetle took his now completely red arm out and let the corpse collapse on the floor.
No loosing a second, he attacked the next pirate who was too shocked to see him coming by plunging one finger right into his eye, making him scream in pain, and then grabbed his head which he completely twisted, breaking his neck. the next pirate tried to attack with a sword, but was pierced by four black tentacles that suddenly jumped out of Koji's back.
The others could only watch in shock as Koji killed all the pirates in brutal ways by beating them, piercing their body, or twisting their bones in painful ways. He killed the last one by slamming him on the floor and took a bite in his throat, causing him to choke with his own blood.
"Koji!" Yang screamed as he slided at his beetle friend's leg.
Seeing the young snake, Koji calmed down and made the mask disappear, returning to his normal state and sat down while panting as if he ran a marathon.
"Dude! What did you just do?!" Aksana asked as they all gathered around him.
"S-Sorry, but after reading this letter, I felt nothing but anger, hate, and rage. I had to take it out before I would hurt any of you." Koji apologized.
The others were shocked as it was the first time Koji killed someone in cold blood. All the other times he did it was justified or to defend someone.
"So...what are you gonna do about this situation?" Timu asked after a few seconds of silence.
"I can't do anything for Karasu now. But if they hurt Fenghuang or do anything to make Karasu suffer again...I'll go into their world and kill them all in a more brutal way than I did with those pirates..." The blood-covered bug said with a sinister look in his eyes.
Koji really have a dark side, doesn't he? It reflects a part of my personality: I HATE when someone does wrong to my friends (don't worry: I never went as far as Koji did in this chapter).
