"So, this is the Legendary Ethereal Grimm I was told about. The one who threatens to destroy all life as we know it each generation? Ha, well to enter a body such as this one...pathetic." Ronald said as he drew two long revolvers from his coat. Each with blades attached to the bottoms. Malcolm smiled as he aimed them at me ready to kill me.

"You think you can beat something that has killed humans like yourself for generations? Can you Malcolm? BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE!" I screamed as my body quickly dashed with my Gunblade out in front of me ready to pierce his body. Malcom smiled as he grabbed the blade midflight stopping my dash completely. WHAT? HA! How about this? I pulled the trigger but he threw the blade in the air then punching me backwards into a tree. The pain was overcoming my body but...I HAD TO FIGHT! I had too!

Ariana just watched the demon control her brother that fought Malcolm relentlessly. Using the Gunblade to swing at him over and over again but to no effect. She had to help him, but the injury in her side restricted her from anything much.

Wait! My Gunblade!

She reached for her weapon which was in front of her. Dragging herself across the ground, blood coming from her wound onto the ground below her. Ariana just barely grabbed the handle of her weapon, using it as a support to lift herself up. "AHH!" She cried in pain as more blood came out from her side.

"KYRAN!" Ariana yelled as she used the majority of her strength to throw the weapon to him. The Gunblade spun towards him rapidly as it stopped rather suddenly. She saw Kyran held it at the handle. He now held his own Gunblade in his right hand and his sister's in his left. Perfect...it would be enough. Kyran aimed them both at Malcolm with intent to kill him.

"You hurt my sister, try to kill me...try to ruin me...YOU WILL DIE!" I screamed as my snow white hair changed to black and my eyes to blood red. The second form was released...good. The demon laughed more and more as I released the second seal. Only 2 more...only 2 more until the demon ruled once more. I could push to the third if I wanted but...could I control it?

Kyran...how does it feel to have ultimate power? To be in control?

"IT FEELS GOD DAMN WONDERFUL!" I spoke with a demon echo. Then charged Malcolm and brought down both swords in a synchronized motion to attack him. He blocked it rather easily throwing me back as I felt a sword pierce my side. Looking down, it...didn't hurt. Just an annoyance. I turned seeing it was Katsu who tried to kill me. THAT PIECE OF SHIT! I swung my right sword to cut off that fucking pathetic head of his but he blocked it with his metal arm just laughing at me.

"You think I can die like that? I am a member of the Shadow 5! I can't die!" He joked crazily as he twisted the sword before I brought around the other Gunblade to strike him but he pulled out his sword and jumped back to dodge. DAMN IT! Why can't he stay still and die, JUST DIE! Then a massive kick forced me back to the ground, along with another blade in my shoulder. AHH DAMN!

"KYRAN NO!" Ariana screamed as she saw her own brother dying in front of her. She...had do something. Anything..please..someone help him..I can't see this. She saw Katsu walk up and stab another sword into his back. Kyran then...just began laughing as if it didn't matter at all. As if his wounds that were all bleeding didn't matter.

"You...you think that matters don't you? Trying to kill a demon like me?" My demon voice spoke as I got up slowly...blood dripping from all the wounds on my body, covering it all in a dark crimson. However, I just kept laughing.

"What? How are you still up?" Katsu demanded.

"I am THE BLACK LIGHTNING! I NEVER DIE!" I yelled as the blood covering my body began forming around me like a shield healing all my wounds. When it cleared...that...was far from Kyran. No...it was nothing like him. His eyes...were pure blood red, his hair the same as well. The dark crimson had transformed him even more than that. Black Ethereal wings spread from his back and a red and black aura covered him compleltely. His smile and eyes were the only things not hidden within the darkeness. Kyran just began laughing more as he lifted both Gunblades and prepared an attack position. I looked at Katsu who his confidence quickly changed to fear.

"NO! You aren't human! Far from it!" Katsu yelled as he swung his swords to try and attack me. I just phased past them effortlessly. I striked his metal arm which knocked him flat to the ground.

"I..am the Black Lightning...the only Ethereal Grimm to ever walk on this earth. You humans are truly pathetic, freedom and life is only an illusion. What you claim to have is only ever written on paper, never totally enforced. What I plan to bring back with my rebirth, is a life controlled by us. By what you call the Grimm in this world. We don't exist only here, but many others as well. What I plan for us, is to rule this world, make you all our's. If you refuse then you will die!" The Grimm finished as he lifted the left arm with the Gunblade and brought it down quickly to end Katsu once and for all.

"NOO!" Katsu screamed as he cowered in fear before the arm stopped completely. Ifreeti had stopped it with her flame whip as the fire blades dug into his arm almost immobilizing it. Kyran looked up to see she was even struggling to hold onto the arm of the powerful demon.

"NOW MALCOLM!" She screamed as Kyran turned to see Ron within feet of him having his sword in front. No...no...NO! The leader of the Shadow 5 screamed as he cut the sword cleanly through the shoulder of the left arm, severing it from his body. Then..there was complete silence. Ariana stared in horror as she saw her brother have his entire left arm removed. She was ready to scream in terror. Ron was still dashing, blood covering him. Kyran's left arm was still in mid-flight. Kyran himself had slowly began transforming back to his normal self. Finally, her own Gunblade still held in the falling arm covered in blood. All of it speeding up instantly. Kyran collapsed to his knees as the all the forms revereted back his normal body as he screamed in pain gripping his former left arm.

"AHH!" He was crying from pain as his body fell to the ground in complete pain. Ariana dragged her body over to her brother as fast as she could. Blood dragging on the ground as she cried more and more. No..NO! Kyran just laid on the ground crying in pain...blood coming from his wound all over the ground staining it a permenant crimson. She finally dragged herself next to Kyran with her face looking at his.

"It's gonna be okay, you're gonna be alright. Stay awake Kyran...please." She pleaded but...it was no use, how they would survive this was beyond her own comprehension. Then the echoes of footsteps began surrounding them. All of the Shadow 5 was surrounding the two siblings. Ariana looked up defiantly at all of them yet...they all held a blank slate.

"Please...stop this..show mercy please." Ariana begged to the group. However, reason..was beyond them.

"MERCY?" Katsu yelled as he shoved his boot into the stomach of Ariana, coughing up blood. "We are the Shadow 5! We show no mercy to anyone! However...you I might keep alive just a bit longer." He said looking at Ariana who was now in pure terror.

"Lea..leave...her..alone." Kyran spoke through the massive pain trying to do something.

"Goodbye Kyran..." Ronald said as he aimed his two revolvers at Kyran. I looked at him intently as I knew this was it...it was over. A massive boom resonated but...it wasn't the revolvers. I opened my eyes briefly as I saw a flash..of purple. Murasaki...you son of bitch...you and...your timing. Also a shockwave of ice knocked back 2 of the others. Gale...I finally looked up to the sky to see...Cecilia. Who had lifted me up whenever she did.

"Kyran...just stay alive. We got you now." Cecilia said crying. I turned to see Ariana being carried by Murasaki and our escape being covered by Gale. However, what would we do now? Not only was I and Ariana not capable of doing anything. But also, we were being hunted by my own father. Why? Why did this happen to us? I..only wanted to live in peace. I wanted...to be free of this terror.

Kyran...

Flyresa? I...I'm sorry..I failed you.

No, you did what you had to...you stayed alive. You're going to be fine. Just...wake up Kyran.
