Orochi was so damn tall. I can't imagine how big he'll be when Psykos is done. I tore off my, already ripped, sweatshirt, leaving me in a black shirt, which also had a large hole in the center. The black had also been stained with red, which gave it a dark red color. My pants were also in shambles. I tried wiping the blood from my face, but it didn't come off. It was like it melded to my skin. It became my skin. I knew something strange would happen, but it still startled me.

"Don't kill him, Orochi." Psykos said to the behemoth. "But keep him at his last breath! I wanna see him give everything." I spit out a chunk of blood to the ground, and the leftover blood melded to my skin before I could wipe it off. I look up at Orochi and give him a toothy grin. Blood had also stained my sharp teeth. Orochi simply looked down at me and grumbled. Him simply making a noise caused the ground to rumble. My entire body began to tingle in excitement. A red aura surrounded my as I got ready. My aura looked almost like a flame. It was less smooth and more ragged.

A snake-like creature then shot from Orochi's "crown" towards me. I quickly flew upwards. Three more shot towards me at lightning speed. I saw hallways visible in the walls that Psykos had recently built. I zoomed into them and landed on the ground. I looked back at Orochi. The serpents were flying at me again. There was no way I was strong enough to keep them in place with my powers. I flew out of the way and across the hallway.

I flew towards Orochi and focused my energy into my fist to wind up a punch. I serpent then slammed right into my gut. It jammed right through my gut and slammed me into the wall near the ground. Blood spurted out of my mouth. He removed the serpent from my stomach and retracted it back to his crown. I fell to my knees. I slowly stood up and got back into a fighting stance. Orochi then fired another serpent at me. I charged up a punched and slammed it to the side. He then fired all of the serpents he had at me. I began rapidly throwing the enormous projectiles away from me. They moved faster than sound, but they couldn't move slower in my eyes. They kept retreating and coming back. My fists bled more and more with each punch, but I barely felt it.

I then slammed my foot into the ground. The ground cracked and a chunk jumped into the air. I then kicked it towards Orochi. It was immediately destroyed, but it allowed me to fly towards Orochi. A serpent then sliced into me, knocking off my track back to the ground. I quickly jumped up from the ground and avoided the serpent flying towards me. Blood was dripping from my fists. My knuckles were cut open. I saw that the blood didn't meld to my skin if the skin already had blood covering it. I got into a fighting stance. Orochi then began to move as well. He then immediately copied my stance. I was shocked.

The little wind in the large room began to pick up. The strong wind began to surround me. The air had a red tint to it. Orochi the wound up and fist and fired it at me. I then released the strong winds at his fist. It slowed it down, but then the fist immediately picked up speed and slammed into me. I felt every bone in my body crumble. A crashed through the wall and got stuck in a the wall of the hallway I was slammed into.

I then felt an incredible surge of strength. I moved my fingers, they cracked and popped and crunched, and I felt even better than before. My breathing was deep. I feel like I reached a new level. I looked at my body. My skin was read and my shirt had melded to my skin. My pants still remained detached from my body. I got myself out of the wall. I slowly walked towards the large room again. Each footstep I took carried an echo. Each footstep I took seemed to strengthen me. I let out a light growl and entered the room again.

I felt nothing but hatred right now. Hatred for almost everything. I blocked out everything except Orochi. I promised myself that I will win this fight. I will not fall down. A serpent then flew towards me. I raised my hand, and it froze in mid-air. He fired two more, but that was too much and I had to dodge them. My speed was so incredible. I moved almost as fast as the serpents.

I then launched at Orochi. He fired all of his serpents at me. I jumped from one serpent to another. I was so close to him. He retracted all the serpents and fired them back. I created a shield and the serpents fired at me. I was quite strained from the force. The shield began to crack as I got closer. It broke and three serpents stabbed me.

I continued to fly towards Orochi. He stabbed me with three more. Blood spurted from my mouth. I gave one last push and slammed my fist into Orochi. He then stumbled backwards and the serpents left my body and retracted once more. I fell to then ground. I landed on my feet, but I stumbled and had to use my hands to keep myself upright. Orochi then jumped towards me. I tried something scary. I raised my hand, and... Orochi was frozen in the air. I laughed loudly and Orochi was stuck there.

"What should I do with him?" I said in a dark voice. I stared right a Psykos, who was standing against one of the walls.

"Crush... but don't kill." She answered. I smiled, maniacally, and began crushing him. Orochi let out a screech of pain as he began getting crushed. Purple blood began to shoot out of his body. I then dropped him into the ground. His limbs were broken, and his body was crushed.

I looked at my body, and I thought I reached it. Psykos walked over to me. She looked at me in the eyes. She then put her hand on my cheek.

"You've done it." She said to me. "You've become a monster. It's over. Your training is over." I raised my hand to her cheek. My hand was bright red, including my fingernails. I felt much different than ever before. I didn't want to help people anymore. I wanted to show everyone how strong I was. I'm a monster, and I want people to know that. I want the Hero Association to pay. I'll destroy them and every hero I see. 'What Hailey doesn't know won't hurt her'. I looked at Psykos in her green eyes. 'What... Hailey doesn't know... won't hurt her'. I leaned forward slightly. 'What... Hailey... doesn't... know... won't... hurt... her'. Psykos began to lean forward as well. 'What...' We then slammed our lips onto one another.

She wrapped her arms around my neck. I then forced my tongue into her mouth. I put my hands on the sides of her head. Our tongues wrestled for control. I won and deepens the kiss even more. We separated. Her light breathing and my deep breathing combined. She then turned her head towards Orochi.

"Very impressive." She giggled. "I guess I still have a while to go to make him the strongest." I then slammed my lips back on hers. I then pulled away sharply.

"I'm the strongest." I growled. "I hope you know that because I'm going to make sure everyone knows it soon enough." She smirked at me.

"I hope you prove it." She said. "Show the Hero Association what monsters can do." She put he hand back on my cheek.

"Should we do anything about Orochi?" I asked.

"Probably." She answered. "At some point." She places her lips back on mine.

"When is the 'point'?" I asked through the kiss.

"I can stop now and clean him up." She smiled as she pulled away. I immediately grabbed the back of her head and slammed her lips back on mine.

"You... are going nowhere." I growled. Psykos then guided her hands to my torso, where she felt my red skin combined with the cloth from my shirt. I wrapped my hands around her back and pushed her even closer to me. She then pulled her lips from mine.

"You're the first success, Kazan." She said.

"The first success at what?" I asked.

"You're the first one I've had here." She answered. "You're the first Disaster Level Dragon monster down here."

"What do I gotta do to get to God?" I ask.

"Clone yourself into ten versions of yourself and combine all of them into one." She said. I snarled at her joke. "Just a guess." She then let out a loud laugh.

"I'll show those heroes what a Dragon level monster can do." I chuckled and kissed Psykos once more.
