He heads back the way he came, but now at a calm walk. Well...he's calm, the people in the area are watching a cloud of steam with legs walk through their city. Dark does a minor bloodpulse with his left hand, realizing that everyone on this street has eyes on him he ducks in to a near by alleyway.

Avoiding all the rubbish and trash in this dimly lit ally, Dark looks up at the now darkening sky. Setting his bag down and unzipping it, he grabs a granny smith apple and a metal thermos. When he bites into the green fruit, he leaves a jagged pattern on it. He continuously eats the apple while looking at the thermos. He shakes the container and finishes the apple. Aiming at a gull on the roof top over head, Dark shucks the core. Hitting his mark, Dark leans against the brick wall and again stairs at the thermos. He finally opens the container, revealing a red liquid inside. He toasts the Gods and then drinks.

Finishing off his drink, Dark puts the thermos back in his back, zips the bag up, and stands to leave. After two steps, the teen doubles over in pain. His demonic side is deciding to take control at a bad time for him. Cursing and growling, Dark falls to the ground. His skin starts to turn red as his body grows double its normal size. Arguing with a greater demon and trying to survive are something Dark deals with everyday. But that doesn't mean having his muscles ripped apart and grow back longer, and having his bones stretch and thicken doesn't hurt.

Once the demon causes Dark to throw his head back into a brick wall and stun himself, the demon simple takes the mental control of his now strengthening body. Suppressing all human emotion, the beast leaps to the roof of a building and views the street below for prey.

As he jumps off the building and slams into the street below, he takes his prey completely off guard. Unleashing a feral roar, the demon grabs a nearby man, lifts him up, sinks his fangs into the poor fool's back, and tears this new corpse in twine.

The hunt begins.

The creature runs after fleeing civilians, cutting them down like they were grass being mowed. Soon the creature clears the area of all human life, until the Jump City S.W.A.T. team shows up. The sirens from their cruisers and trucks are deafening, but to the red giant with increased hearing it actually is deafening.

Hearing nothing but a loud ringing the beast charges at a wall of law enforcements. Smashing aside the frail humans, he picks up a small cruiser and throws it into a nearby building's second story window. Grabbing a man who made the mistake of trying to pelt the creature with bullets, he smashes the man into a different cruiser. All the S.W.A.T. teams can do now is hold out till the Titans arrive. The demon plunges his fist into a transport truck, picks it up, and slams it into a row of officers before throwing it at a cluster of trucks. ''He's targeting the vehicles, fall back!'' The S.W.A.T. teams pull back to keep their men alive, taking cover they all watch as their vehicles are wrecked by the demon.

Hiding in a nearby flower shop, two men discuss the situation at hand.

''We're screwed man! It's game over man!''

Slapping his comrade, the other man yells at his friend, ''Get a grip man, they're on their way!'' They both look to see the demon throw a truck in their direction. ''Duck!''

The more hardened man tackles his buddy, and ignores his girly scream, so they both aren't crushed.

Watching the two humans dodge the thrown truck causes the beast to grunt to himself. He finds the last vehicle, the sheriff's cruiser, and throws it at a pile of wreckage. After a few moments, the demon's hearing is back. Problem is he's hearing nothing, he sniffs the air to find any remaining S.W.A.T. men, but finds nothing. Nothing except the scent of five teens. Turning around, he receives a sonic blast to the head and a truck to his torso.
