Arin's mind almost felt that song again. Arin wondered what part of this ordeal could be creating such a beautiful melody, but it was gone, and she focused on reclaiming the song as her own. She wanted to experience it once more, and she wouldn't be satisfied with just sitting here and wondering about it. The time would come soon that she would know that song, she promised herself. She didn't know why, but for some reason, that song made her think of things that she had forgotten. Something that she should remember, but that she couldn't. She set herself to the task of figuring it out. She couldn't stop now.

Arin suddenly felt an immense intimacy, and she remembered that she was baring her soul to this volcano. Despite it being an inanimate structure, Arin withdrew suddenly, and as she did, he ki faltered and the flames were sucked toward her body, intensified by the sudden vacuum around Arin. The powerful flames pierced Arin's skin and made her cry out amidst the rushing sound of superheated, trapped air. Knowing, though, that it was useless to try and fight the pain, Arin focused instead on accepting it. By accepting the pain, Arin could adopt it as her own, she could assimilate it. And hopefully, by doing so, she could figure out exactly what it was that this all meant. She could gain the power that was hers by right. By birthright.



The word struck a cord deep inside Arin's psyche. She couldn't recall what exactly it was, but it was a powerful topic. Something that she remembered was an incredible influence on her. But everything before now as hazy... She couldn't remember why.

Grave's maw becomes unhinged and green energy flows from his body and starts to compress and he lowers his form into a weaker being as to gain power faster. His cheeks compress into themselves and scales form all throughout his body. As his body cracks both skin and bones grave screams out in pain but presses on for one ultimate goal...to beat zyke and claim his title of god of the new world.
Grave's legs twist and blend into themselves and form one long tail. He continues to grow and grow and become larger. Darkness consumes him in a green tint and a slithering serpentine sound emerges from the darkness.

"Yessss....Yessss...I will be able to perfect my powers in this form, and perhapsss acquire a new one when i grow bored of thissss. However for now thisss form will double my training. Hmmm....now only if I knew where the tree of might wasss."

"Hmmm...however I need to learn how to make the myssstic water, so when I must I can rise above everyone around me and perfect my being. Now to go and begin my training, but first I have to perfect staying in this form so it doesn't wear off on me."

Grave begins to concentrate and pull his unstable energy together and form barriers against his final more powerful form. He shields himself mentally as by creating this form he might have in fact created a split personality for himself.
The unstable energy begins to come together and runs a good long surge through his body slowly blocking the final form and preventing any re-emergence from his previous form against his will.

Pain runs through his body in response as grave realizes that his "alter ego" was already about to try and emerge against his will.

"No...don't you realizzzze that in order for usss to get stronger we need to stay in thisss form and train more? So we might stand a chance in hell to finish our goals and carry on what we started all those years ago...."

Almost as in response to graves cries against himself a pain runs through his whole entire body and the unstable aura just about breaks apart. Grave pushes the aura back in place and begins wandering off in seizures across the planet.
Black lightning seemingly jumps from his body as the "alter ego" tries to break free from the bonds that the weaker grave is trying to put in place. However the green aura pushes it back in and pulls the darkness away.

A red aura tries to overlay the green aura and fight it back and the "snake" wreaths around in pain still holding on to the green aura and slowly pushing back the red.

"You will not win so easily nosssferatu....
I live for nothing more in this world than to exceed the expectations of others and become what I need to become to do that. No matter what the cost, I will become a God and so help me I will destroy all those that cross my path and attempt to stop me. So you must see that there is no way in hell that I will ever give in to the call to reclaim my power right at this second."
The red recedes back further into nothingness and the black lightning ceases to exist once again. The pain begins to stop and grave takes off to start his new training...his training to become a God and show the world, and the Universe what his destructive power is capable of.
"Hmm maybe I need to become more than a God, maybe I need to become entropy itself. Maybe then I can do what I see fit in my new world.

Show me Zyke...show me what you are capable of, and train me no matter how hard it is, I will withstand Sayian training and show them all that I am above and beyond even there elites. Maybe even beyond their legendary super Sayians, hmm,
I wonder if Zyke of all people ever possessed such a power at his disposal. I suppose that I will find out and show Zyke that I am more than what he expects...hahaha maybe even double what he expectsss."

Zyke stands at the lip of the crater, looking down at his opponents. They hadn't noticed him yet, not yet having the capability of sensing surrounding ki, an ability he didn't doubt that they would get before too long. Taking advantage of his superior positioning, he charges down into the crater, leading into a savage assault on the first of the Wraiths.

He lands on the bottom of the crater, landing on only one foot, and leaps straight into a an attack on the first Wraith. He used the huge momentum he had gained to launch a powerhouse fist to the Wraith's stomach. With the sheer force of the attack, the Wraith was lifted off the ground and several inches into the air. The measurements aren't anything spectacular, but Zyke didn't want him to go to far away, he wasn't finished yet. Zyke jumped into a spin kick over the Wraith, bringing the heel of his foot down on the Wraith's head like a hammer striking an anvil. The kick sent the Wraith's head plummeting into the ground. Zyke grabbed the Wraith, now resembling a frightened emu, by it's foot, lifting it up out of the ground. Zyke placed his hand to the Wraith's stomach, the Wraith flailing in his grasp and swinging it's arms wildly in an attempt to harm Zyke or be free of his death hold.

With his hand to the Wraith's stomach, He released a volley of ki shots at point blank range, the shot propelling the Wraith high into the air. Zyke launched another volley of shots, the projectiles flying toward their target with all speed, hitting the last two, which were still in their complete forms, causing a large explosion, one that Zyke hoped that the Wraith hadn't survived as he turned to the rest, who had noticed him by now and were advancing on his position with as much haste as such a simple being could muster.

Grave stares at the ground and stops dead in his tracks.
"Wait...This won't give me enough power fast enough at all. From what I was feeling off of those people this is just a VERY small step towards even competing on their level...I need another transformation...sigh...."

Grave takes a couple coils back and stares auspiciously at the ground. A sudden surge runs through him and he wreaths around as his body and mind attack him at the very thought of making a new Grave.
Grave wreaths around and pushes the pain back even though he is weaker than what he once was he pushes it all down deep inside of him sparking a new life in his mind.

He pushes the other two personalities back and deep down the snake puts up a small fight, but being new gives up shortly. However, the real grave still feeling sour about losing to the snake fights with all his might as the new grave begins to gain life into a new body.

"Ha Ha Ha its useless your already back and behind the snake. Just give up and let me take complete control of the body."

Strings of energy wrap around his body as the sounds of wood creaking run rampant around grave's body. Grave's scales change slowly into a sleeker format and then rough all over again as it turns into something other than skin.

His bones creek from the pressure and arms begin to sprout from his snake body ripping the skin cleanly off. Grave screams and laughs at the same time.

"I think by the time this is all said and done I'm going to be a masochist."

The strings of energy begin slicing through his skin and blood splatters all over the now teal ground. As the blood burns up and and his flesh sears from the energy that binds his flesh he gives a maniacal laugh almost as if to a crowd of people surrounding him.
The true grave, buried deep down inside, shakes his head in disgust of these emerging personalities and wonders to himself what he has done.

Zyke watched as his target fell to the ground in a smoldering heap, the last of his flaming life being snuffed out by Zyke's overwhelming power over him. A feeling of immense glee fell over him, a smile crossing over his face as he began to sway and flow around his opponents feeble strikes. His cockiness got the better of him though, as one of the oncoming attacks got through his defense, a fiery fist landing him square in the jaw. The attack did very little damage to him, and only barely burnt him, but the sheer killjoy was enough to kill Zyke's uppity mood and make him angry.

He vanished in the blink of an eye. landing on the edge of the crater, leaping forward toward the wraith that had struck him. He charged balls of ki in either of his hands, holding them back at waist level. He struck forward with his right hand, trying to hit the Wraith. Raising it's arms in defense, the Wraith went to block Zyke's attack, but didn't not get any force of impact. Zyke had vanished again, an after image of him about to attack that had disappeared right at the moment of attack. Taking advantage of the momentary drop in guard, Zyke rises up with the ki in his hands, uppercutting the Wraith right in it's stomach blasting the ki from his hand in a blast at the moment of impact. He had used the afterimage to hide himself in the Wraith's blind spot under it's own arms the moment it went to block. The Ki launched the wraith into the air, the other wraiths attacking Zyke, Zyke blocking and swaying around all the attacks he can. As soon as a moment opened in his guard, he leaped into the air, vanishing with his ascent, to reappear midair above the flying wraith. His arms clasped above his head, the remaining ki being grasped in his fist, he smashed his hands like a hammer onto the Wraith's head, sending it rocketing back at the ground, the ki from his hands left to propel the descent even faster.

The Wraith hit the ground with a massive impact, a large explosion follow as the two orbs of ki Zyke had charged and left finally erupted, releasing all the ki he had charged into the attack. He landed in the waves of ki the formed the explosion, his silhouette shadowing to the remaining Wraith's view as he slowed paced toward them, their inevitable deaths the only thing that currently occupied his mind.
