Impostor glowed with light, impure

Beneath the luster its form was altered

Growing fangs and devilish claws

Stained red with blood, eager for slaughter

-o-

The Kaiser whispered seductively within

Tore at his mind and flayed his heart

His body was rent with agony

As monstrosity ripped his soul apart

-o-

Nina looked on him shielding her eyes

Spoke with a whisper, you must resist

His spirit calmed with her soft voice

Subdued was Kaiser, banished to the abyss

-o-

He flew at the Demon swinging steel

The Fiend laughed and tossed him aside

His body was flung, limp and lifeless

Whence with the ground, the Dragon collided

-o-

He screamed as the Kaiser took over his soul

Alas, he no longer could fight the seduction

Fly, you fools cried the last of his breath

Mind, body, and spirit a slave to destruction

-o-

Form overtaken in flashes of light

He writhed in agony of transformation

Light subsided, Dragon confronted

The Demon that spurred his alteration

-o-

Ripped apart in the power of Kaiser

The Demon's screams filled the black halls

Fighting destruction, seeking deliverance

Blood spattered across stone walls

-o-

Alas, his body was torn in two

Final screams echoed deep in their bones

The Demon fell, thrown down in madness

Body rent the floor, entombed in stone

-o-

The Beast's companions looked on in horror

Beheld the monster that delivered their lives

Out of the frying pan, into the fire

From lips of an Angel came hollow cries

-o-

But the burden of bondage was finally lifted

The power of Kaiser within it no more

Strength departed the broken Dragon

In the absence of Kaiser it fell to the floor

-o-

Attended by none, its body lay wreck

Beheld by companions the Beast had saved

Feline and Angel approached his form

With solemn looks at the creature enslaved

-o-

Together companions carried out the Dragon

On shields held high, he departed the tower

Wherein the care they gave him masked

Their fright of the beast, a slave to power


Another segment. This one, hopefully you could guess is Kuwadora, beneath Simafort.

One quick thing. I tried to emphasize isolation and dehumanization of Ryu by drawing attention to the pronouns. During the parts when Ryu is himself he is referred to as the boy, or the Dragon, or even "him". Once he transforms and is under the influence of the Kaiser, and afterwards he is referred to as a beast or simply "it".

I'm sure people groaned when I rhymed alter with slaughtered; well deal with it.
