Chapter Text
Dark and Daisuke stared at the creature in awe.
The ears Daisuke loved to pet while studying grew ragged and hard, their short tufts of fur now hardened spikes.
The paws Dark quietly recognized as safety now grew barbed claws that could never hope to hold onto his back ever again.
Even Satoshi couldn't help but be surprised by the sudden transformation despite his knowledge of his ancestor's creations.
"What...are you?" Satoshi whispered, voice tinted with both wonder and fear.
A voice--layered with so many tones that it reverberated off the walls--came from the now pitch-black creature before them.
"WE gave your ancestor's magic, and WE see that your families have failed."
"Oi! The hell do you mean, With!" Dark tried to run towards With, but was blocked by a barrier and thrown backwards. "You're...you're my partner, aren't you?!"
"20 generations have passed, and you have done nothing but create madness and chaos. It is time for US to put this to an end."
With...no, this new creature (MONSTER) reached up a giant forepaw. And upon bringing it down to the ground, also brought down an end.
