A deep crimson aura skyrocketed from Haru's body as the angry/possessed Haru's appearance begin to change. Like on the last chapter that you guys just read, Haru's eyes changed from chocolate brown to pure amber, golden fur appeared on her face with a black nose and whiskers, her canine teeth grew longer, sharper and powerful, her brown chestnut hair turned to golden blonde plus it grew longer which broke Haru's hair scrunchy. Her hands turned into powerful paws with sharp claws while her legs and feet turned lion like and a bushy tail grew out. Everyone stared with horror, fear, and shock. They couldnt move at all, not even Echidna, for she was standing still frozen with fear.
"W-W-What's h-h-happening?" Echidna squeaked.
The angry lion version of Haru stared at the gang leader. Then suddenly it ran up and grabbed Echidna by the collar of her shirt. Everyone gasped, while Echidna panicked and tried to break free.
"NO! DONT KILL ME! DONT KILL ME PLEASE!" Echidna pleaded.
But the super being kept holding on to her, giving her a very scary look, then the possessed Haru began to speak. As she spoke it sounded like the lion spirit was talking along with her.
"You......You reek of evil......greed......and.....corruption....you will die....."
Then the possessed Haru threw Echidna on the other side of the ring, then stood there. "And she's not the only one......" The lion spirit shot a glare at Dorothy, which caused the greedy cat princess to cower in fear.
"Once Im done with this foolish human....you're next."
Then the possessed Haru walked slowly to Echidna, as Muta, Toto, and Hiromi shook up with fright. However Muta snapped out of it and hissed at Toto.
"We gotta get the sword back! Its the only way to snap Chicky out of it!"
Toto quickly left the waiting room and took flight as he shouted to Muta. "You stop Haru from hurting that cheater! I'll find the sword!" Then he took off.
Muta was going to head outside but Hiromi grabbed his paw. "Wait a minute! What's going on here? What's wrong with Haru?"
Muta broke free of Hiromi. "I dont have much time to explain, Chicky! I got to stop Haru from doing the biggest mistake in her life!"
"But you'll die!"
"I rather die then watching my best friend kill someone, if Haru snaps out of that state and sees Echidna dead at her feet, she'll know it was her doing and she'll have an emotional breakdown."
Then Muta ran outside to stop Haru but the gruff man stopped him. "Stop! If you interfere she'll be disqualified!"
"Didnt you also say that if a contestant kills the other contestant she will also be disqualified too? Well take alook! My friend is being possessed by an angry spirit and it looks like its in a killing mood." Muta pointed out.
The gruff man's face went pale white then step aside for Muta to stop the possessed Haru. As Muta stepped into the ring, the lion spirit was already breaking Echidna's arm.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA! MY ARM!" Echidna screeched.
"Now you know what its like to suffer....." The possessed Haru said with a sadistic smirk, until Muta spoke.
"Hey spirit! Leave the cheater alone and come face me!" Muta shouted.
The lion spirit/Haru dropped Echidna and turned to face Muta. "You dare to interfere, cat?"
"I do dare! You should know better then to hurt alot of people you know! You angry homicidal psycho!"
The lion spirit/Haru laughed at Muta's words. "Please, spare me the lecture fool. I do not care for these living morons, all they ever do is caring about themselves and killing the other for survival."
"Your wrong.....not all the living are selfish! The only selfish one that Im seeing is you! You think that hurting somebody will help ease your pain, but it wont! I'm gonna protect that cheater from you even if I have to suffer!"
The lion spirit/Haru gave Muta a sadistic smirk. "Very well." Then the spirit/Haru walked towards Muta as Muta gets ready to defend himself.

The royal family looked at the possessed Haru in pure shock and horror, until Baron stood from his seat and was ready to jump off the balcony. His father and brother and ex fiance stood up shocked at Baron's action.
"Baron!" Louise shouted with surprise.
"Humbert Von Gikkingen, what in the name of your great great great grandfather Victor Von Gikkingen are you doing?!" The elder cat king.
"Im going to stop this creature! Somewhere inside that monster is my Haru and I will not abandon her!"
But Yuki and Lune prevented him from jumping off. "Baron, there is another way to save Haru! We got to find Toto and get the sword back! Its probably the only thing that keeps Haru sane!" Lune reasoned.
Baron sighed then he stepped off the balcony. "Very well.....but we must hurry!"
As they left to help Toto, Dorothy began to think her usual evil plans and other evil stuff but not for looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg.......
"Sooooo.......that barbaric girl only goes insane if she loses her sword.....I better go look for it and hide it before those idiots find it."
She was going to leave but both Marco and the elderly cat king stopped her.
"And just where do you think you're going, Dorothy?" Marco questioned suspiciously.
Dorothy had a look of fear on her face. "Uuuuuummmmmm to the bathroom to powder my nose?"
But the cat king wouldnt buy it. "Dont even think about lying to your father and myself Dorothy! I've heard your thoughts with my mind reading technique. You were planning to find the sword and hide it so that Haru wouldnt go back to normal!"
"T-That's not true!" Dorothy lied, "I-I just wanted to help! T-That's all! Daddy! Dont you believe me?"
But Marco glared at his daughter. "If you think I wasnt aware of your behavior Dorothy, you've got another thing coming! Your engagement to Lune is off! And you have also lose your right to rule both our lands and Cat Beareau!"
Dorothy gasped with disbelief then silently sat back down in her chair. Louise smiled in delight that finally after 200 years Dorothy is getting what she deserved.

Baron, Lune, and Yuki ran outside the colliseum to find Toto and the silver sword, but so far they couldnt find them.
"Ugh, where IS Toto?" Yuki asked with panic.
Lune kept looking around. "He has to be around here somewhere!"
Then the red headed quiet warrior appeared from nowhere. Baron, Lune, and Yuki looked at her.
"Its that quiet warrior that was in the colliseum." Yuki spoke.
"She might know where Toto is....although she might not talk at all." Lune said with doubt.
"Should we ask her?" Yuki asked.
"We'll have to try. Haru and the others are counting on us." Baron said.
Baron walked towards the silent warrior with ease then began to calmly question her.
"Excuse me, miss. Have you seen a crow anywhere?" Baron asked politely.
The silent warrior said nothing at first but then she started speak which surprised the trio alot.
"Follow me."
Then the silent warrior led Baron, Yuki, and Lune to find Toto.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toto, who already found the silver sword, was trying to pull it out from a tree trunk but couldnt because it seems that the blade wouldnt budge.
"What was I thinking for letting ol' porkchop stopping Haru?! I should of let him come with me! That stupid sword just wont come out!" Toto grunted as he kept pulling with his talons.
"Toto!" A voice called out.
Toto was caught off guard as he accidently lets go of the handel and comically fell over and hits the ground. Baron, Yuki, and Lune came out of the long grassy brush as they rushed to Toto.
"Toto! Are you okay?!" Yuki asked with a worried tone.
"Im fine......its just my pride that's hurt....."
Lune and Baron hoisted him up. "Toto, did you see that quiet red headed female human that was guiding us to you?"
"No I didnt! I was up in that tree trying to pull Haru's sassafrassin sword out then I heard one of you calling my name and that's when I fell over!"
Lune went to deep thought. "That's odd. How can she disappear on us?"
Toto went back up the tree to pull the sword out while Baron spoke. "We'll solve this mystery later. For now we must return the sword back to Haru!"
Baron went up the tree to help Toto pull the sword out. Both Yuki and Lune also helped out. As they tried to pull it, it still wouldnt move.
"This sword is stuck in that trunk really good! At this rate we'll never get it out!" Yuki said as she keeps pulling.
"We cant give up! Muta and that Echidna girl is in danger! And......and I want Haru to be back to normal! I wont let her be controlled by that monster!" Baron said strongly as he thought of Haru.
Then as the four give a mighty tug at the sword, the silver sword went loose and was completely removed from the tree.
"We did it!" Lune shouted with triumph.
Toto then suddenly handed the silver sword to Baron. "Baron, you must head back to the coliseum and give the sword back to Haru quickly! I would've done it myself but I think Haru would respond to you alot more then she would to me."
Baron nodded as he carefully held on to the silver sword. "I will Toto and thank you!" Then he started taking off to the coliseum.
"Oh I hope he makes it in time....." Yuki hoped.
"And I also hope that Muta will be ok as well." Lune said with worry.
"Dont worry about that big ol' marshmellow, despite the fact that he's annoying sometimes, he's tough. Even that mean ol' spirit cant even hold him down." Toto said with confidence.
Then Toto felt the surprising looks from Yuki and Lune.
"Oh my kami......I think Toto just complimented Muta!" Lune said with an animeish suprised look.
"Who are you and what have you done with Toto?" Yuki asked Toto.
Toto only sweatdropped at both of their comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Muta was deeply wounded as he defended himself against The lion spirit/Haru's claw attacks. The spirit laughed sadistically as it came closer to Muta.
"You're lucky that Im not using any of my spirit energy otherwise I would've killed you." The spirit sneered.
Muta spat at the spirit's direction. "Talk all you want! But its not going to stop me from fighting back!"
Then Muta manages to claw Haru's possessed face, but instead of the scratches being there, they quickly healed.
"Ha! Your pathetic attacks wont help you to defeat me! I am invincible!"
"That's what you think!" a voice shouted.
Baron arrived with the silver sword in his arms.
"Ah so the prince has arrived and you have brought my sword back......though you will wish that you haven't." The lion spirit said with its deadliest quiet tone.
Baron glared at the angry spirit. "That little comment wont prevent me from returning Haru back to normal. Now take your sword! Your moment of terror ends now!" Then Baron gently threw the sword at the lion spirit/Haru's feet.
Not being able to resist the sword's power, the spirit picked it up with a cold smirk, then is said its final words before it went back to hibernation.
"Just because you gave me the sword doesnt mean it will make me go away completely. Its going to take alot more then just the sword to keep me away. Despite the fact that I hate you living immortal prince, I hope that you will be able to keep my host at your side at all times....." the spirit said bitterly as Haru was returning back.
As the spirit went back to hibernation, Haru returned while clutching onto the sword. She looked around looking confused at first but then she started to realize what was going on. Baron looked at her with complete worry.
"Haru...."
Lune, Yuki, and Toto arrived just in time and saw Haru back to her old self and they too were completely worried about how Haru will react. Haru looked at both Echidna and Muta in horror, she began to slowly step back .
"Aaaaaaahhhhh.....my arm...." Echidna groaned as she held on to her broken arm.
"Chicky......" Muta was going to explain.
Haru's eyes started flooding with tears as cold guilt started to grip her heart. She kept stepping away from the others as the gruff man began declaring the winner.
"The winner is......Haru Yoshiaka."
Nobody cheered. Nobody even said a word. The crowd was still shocked from what happened and it was too much for Haru to bear. That's when Haru broke into a fast run and started heading back to the hotel.
"Haru! Wait!" Baron cried out, but it was too late Haru disappeared from the coliseum.
As everyone started to leave the coliseum with sad looks on their faces and when medical help arrived at the arena to help Muta and Echidna, the red headed silent warrior woman who was watching the whole thing didnt move her gaze from the direction that Haru ran. Already knowing that Haru's sudden yet silent emotional breakdown would ruin the next match, she started to follow Haru back to the hotel. Even though her soon-to-be opponent would be suffering emotionally, the silent warrior knew that Haru would listen to what she has to say.
