Chapter 5: Unforgiving Truths, the Real Story of Tyler's Arrival!

Tyler, carrying the now free Marble, blazed through the forest, only stopping as he reached Dirk's house. And even then, that was only because of what he saw in front of him. Placing Marble down carefully, he didn't even notice Lloyd and Genis arriving behind him and asking what was wrong. All he saw was the two bodies ling in front of him. One, the male, was wearing a torn pair of black jeans, a nearly vaporized black t-shirt and a shredded red trench coat. His white hair, long and loose was splayed around his bloodied head and his blue eyes were clouded, empty of life.

The other, a female, was dressed in a knee length blue skirt with a white tank top on top of that. She had shoulder length black and crimson hair and now emotionless red eyes, which if they were filled with life, would be the same shade as Tyler's. Similar crimson eyes shed tears as Tyler began sobbing over the bodies uncontrollably. His sorrow was almost existent by itself as a sentient being. Almost.

"W-why? H-how?" Tyler asked the air, receiving no answer. "WHO KILLED MY PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????" He shouted in frustration as magic crackled over his very surface. Genis and Lloyd stepped back in awe as Tyler's features began to warp, his skin darkening to a deep purplish-black and his fingers extending into sharper claw-like ones. Huge leathery black bat wings burst from his back as his legs became covered in scales and his feet became talon-like. His hair lengthened as two horns sprouted from his forehead and his teeth sharpened. To finish the transformation, his crimson eyes began to glow as they became slits in the vast expanse of black that replaced the white of his eyes.

The duo from Sylvarant continued gazing at the now demonic Tyler as he stood up to his full height, becoming the picture of intimidation. Marble, currently hiding behind a tree, began to crawl towards Genis as she was too weak to walk and managed to avoid the enhanced senses of Devil Tyler. Said demon was growling as it roared. Roared its sorrow to the heavens.

From the underbrush rushed the ever-fatal-to-fangirls Seraphim, Kratos Aurion as he drew his sword and skidded to a halt in front of Marble, Genis and Lloyd. "What caused Tyler to Devil Trigger?" He asked them, confusing the group.

"Devil… Trigger?" Lloyd asked his not yet known to be father. "And why is he all demonic?"

"Devil Trigger. The phenomena caused by human and demon blood running through the same veins. Tyler Sparda is a half demon everyone and his unique mana reacts with anger and desperation, allowing him to further access his demonic powers.

"He already has super strength, speed and endurance without an Exsphere or the Devil Trigger. But this if far more powerful then it appears. But he should return to normal now." Kratos finished as indeed, Tyler reverted to human, tears still streaming down his face as he collapsed next to his parent's bodies and fell into the sweet bliss of unconsciousness.

Wake up Tyler. Tyler opened his eyes and gazed around. Surrounding him was nothing but a dull white and a single figure.

"Wait a minute? Martel Yggdrasill?" Tyler asked as the figure drifted closer. And sure enough, it was Mithos' sister. "What am I doing here?"

Your parents were killed by Mithos. Was all she said.

"What!? I'm gonna kill him!" Tyler shouted.

Please, save my brother from himself. Here, let me help you with new clothes. Your old ones were torn by your transformation. Martel raised a hand and nothing happened. The clothes will be by your bed when you awake. It has been two days and you, along with the group, are at the House of Salvation. The Iselia incident never happened. As well, Marble is with the group. Please, save Mithos. I beg of you.

Tyler nodded. "I promise. Using all my strength. I'll save him." All faded to black as Tyler fell asleep.

Right, there ya go, now for the info!
