Leviathan groaned shaking his body at the surge of dark energy that was emitted from the crystal after Cerberus's right head became knocked out. The serpent hard metal skin was just strong enough to hold off the attack, but not able to protect himself at the same time.
"I-is it B-bad?" Leviathan asked, slowly rising his head off the ground, staring at his GF friends. Ifrit and Cerberus turned away and aided the wounds, trying not to say anything until they knew for sure. The serpent frowned and turned to the others. As soon as their eyes meet, the GFs could not stand to bare those eyes.
"I've seen worst in my time, this is nothing" Ifrit stated, trying to make the situation sound a bit better, even though it didn't seem that way. Cerberus groaned at Ifrit comment and remained silent, keeping the truth from the others.
"You are a every bad liar Ifrit, but thanks for trying to make it sound better" Leviathan stated, with a smile across his face. Ifrit turned to the serpents' head and groaned.
"What was I meant to say?" Ifrit asked, in an uproar. "That these wounds look too bad! That any chance of survival is clearly not going to happen?" Ifrit stood up and walked in front of the fallen serpent. "Do you think that what everyone wants to hear?"
"Ifrit!" Shiva shouted, stomping her icy foot to the ground. "That's enough! I don't think you need to carry on like that!" Ifrit paused and stared at the ice spirit, who was giving him a evil glare, something he hasn't seem from her before. He turned his glare to Siren, noticing she had tears.
Ifrit had notice small things about Siren. She was touchier, more sensitive, and more… human like. She wasn't acting like her normal self. Ifrit began to piece together that; they had absorbed feelings, memories and information from their human masters. He couldn't explain how, but he was staring to see it in everyone.
"Cerberus?" Diablos asked, flying down next to the dog. "How bad does it look?" Cerberus reframed from answering. If he told the others, they may become distress or even scared and lose sight of the real problem. "Hello!" Diablos screamed into Cerberus' opened (Right head) ear. Cerberus eyes narrowed for a slipt second then regain focus.
"As Ifrit had said, these wounds look to severer for any chance of survival" Cerberus dropped his heads, his ears falling down the side of his face. Diablos recoiled from Cerberus, wrapping his body in his wings. Diablos closed his eyes and simply just walked away, not caring for Leviathan life.
"You guys act like this is a bad thing?" Leviathan stated.
"What?!" Ifrit roared, spinning around and glaring at the serpent. "What do you mean by that! You barely have enough strength to crawl on your belly!" Ifrit narrowed his eyes and brought his head down to Leviathan's. "How can you say that, when you're about to die?
"That's the funny thing about it"
"Funny thing?!"
"I'm not dying"
"WHAT?!" all the GF's shouted at Leviathan's casual remark. They stared, their eyes wide and full of disbelief and revenge for having been played them like that. Leviathan laughed, his top jaw moving while his bottom jaw just lied on the ground.
"HARD SKIN METAL DISCHARGE"
The serpent's hard metal scales began to shine, glittering like diamonds in the suns rays giving off a loving light. The serpent engulfed in his own rays of light rose up and gave a might roar, from deep inside his lungs.
The GF's stood back and marbled at the light that cleared up the endless sky of black, which also brought a clam sensation to their hearts.
The Light began to fade and the dark crystals dropped from Leviathan's body, shattering and spreading their shards across the floor. Leviathan roared one more time, reaching into his lungs and using all the air he could to make the loudest roar.
"So that metal skin thing actually protected you?" Siren asked, sweeping closer while holding her hands up high, her tears still gather. Leviathan didn't answer but swayed his body towards them, showing the scars left from the crystals.
"A close call" Diablos stated. "A very nice battle scare"
"Huh. So you metal skin was able to just hold off the crystals! Lucky the skin didn't break" Ifrit said, feeling the scars, which had quickly formed. He felt a slight jolt of power from the wounds but paid no attention to it.
"Are you guys finished yapping?!" Cerberus shouted. "We got something else to take care of!"
The GF's paused and turned around to Cerberus, who was staring back into the smoke that was still about. They had taken Leviathan's brave attempt of saving their lives too far and forgot all about that thing that caused the damage in the first place.
They positioned themselves in a line, curving in a bit to form a slight semi circle. Quezacolt, who remained silent all the time Leviathan was hurt, began to slightly back off and then come forwards. He didn't know why he was backing off but whatever it was gave a good reason.
"What is this? Why am I so afraid of it, when I don't even know what it is? But why? Why do I feel like I know this thing from somewhere?"
"FREED?" the creatures asked. There came a loud sucking sound, like a vacuum collecting dirt. "AHH! THE AIR SMELL SO SWEET, AND SO TASTY"
"Great, we got a sweet smelling creature!"
"When did you become normal, all of a sudden?"
"Shut up! I just go my head clear" the right head snapped back, regaining its focus.
"AHH! CERBERUS IS FINE NOW! GOOD, MORE TOYS TO PLAY WITH!" The creature began to laugh, swiping away the clouds in front, revealing small shades of colours. Cerberus began to slowly back off just like Quezacolt was trying to do, baring his teeth and lowering his body to the ground till his belly was on the ground.
As the smoke clear from around the creature, the GF's noticed that the creature was wearing large dark purple armour over its black skin. It had leg plates, front and back, a chest and back plate and some arm plates and the rest was its bare skin. The smoke was almost gone and little by little a bit more was revealed. The creature had iron boots, a large sword and iron gloves with claws at the fingertips.
"What is that thing?" Diablos asked, staring at it form appearing out of the smoke just like a shadow. Diablos screwed his hands into fists, but they just recoil and started to shake.
"Does anyone have a hard time trying to stand?" Ifrit asked, slowly moving backwards. His face was ready to fight but his body wanted to run.
"Its like…" Quezacolt began to say, sallowing hard, trying to cover his fright. "I don't want to be here, that I was somewhere else" The bird flapped its wings, sending it above the group but behind them.
"I want to stand and fight, but I just can't control my body!" Siren stated, holding her hands to her face, her legs automatically moving backwards beyond her own will.
"OH!" the creature sound surprised, sarcastically. "NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY?" the creature sounded like it was crying or starting to sob, "WELL TOO BAD!" the creature jumped from the smoke landing just in front of the frighten GF's, standing only a couple feet away. "BECAUSE I WANT MY PAY BACK!"
The GF's saw the creature's face. The creatures eyes were red and its face look like Odin but more sinister, and it was wearing a dark purple helmet with black fake hair coming from the top that fall down its back.
"What the hell is that thing?!" Siren shrieked, jumping behind Ifrit's bold body. Ifrit peered down at the small GF, but didn't take any notice and returned his force to the main problem. The creature slowly stood up and pushed out its chest, its purple armour shining softly.
"FINALLY!" the creature roared, breathing in the fresh air once again. "NASHTRU IS ONCE AGAIN ALIVE!"
"What?!" Cerberus snapped after hearing the creature speaks, jumping forwards as he did. "Nashtru?! That can't be!"
"WHY CERBERUS? DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME?" the creature, Nashtru asked. Cerberus growled and stepped in closer.
"Nashtru was a human! You not him!" Cerberus growled, slightly remembering a man named Nashtru. Nashtru looked at his body and the armour that was protecting it and laughed.
"HA-HA!! I ADMIT I MUST LOOK RATHER DIFFERENT TO YOUR EYES. I'VE UNDERGONE A BIT OF A CHANGE OVER THESE YEARS! BECOMING WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED, BUT WHAT I'VE ALWAYS HATED…" Nashtru paused and lowed his head; taking several deep breathes before rasing its head again. Nashtru eyes were glowing a blood shot red and his face was more screwed up as it frowned.
"A DAM GF!!!"
