Onyx's Awakening (Onyx and Kuzi)

The remains of a sunken ship rested very close to the beach, so close that a normal person could actually walked up to the thing and if brave enough perhaps clamber onto the ancient vessel to see what it had in store upon its water worn and rotting decks. All around this ruin rested waters tainted black and glistening by the night sky and the full moon that played hide and seek with the viewer as it ducked and appeared from behind slowly drifting clouds. The waters stretched out for ages if one was gazing towards the north, but if one looked towards the south glistening sands and land was revealed stretching for a good while perhaps going towards some place inland. For a night of such horror, this beach of the Aquatic Bio Dome was particularly peaceful and seemingly untouched. That was until something dark decide to give this place a visit.

On the part of the rotten ship that rested over the sands a strange spot of darkness would appear on the rotten wood and run down the old boards slightly. A thick strange substance - ink - that brought with it a dark form that stretched and shifted into a creature with horns, a tail, and a torn wings.


Opening ink colored orbs, the demon known as Demix would balance easily on a thin piece of wood that jutted towards the land hanging about 8 feet at most from the ground. It wasn’t a high vantage point, but then again the demon hadn’t been searching for the highest point just yet. He had appeared here not to check on the happy go lucky young man his more friendlier counter part had met earlier, but rather to take in the condition of this place. A slight detour from the path he was currently on, but perhaps a place of valuable information. Even so, it seemed this place was rather quiet and empty. Hmmm… Had what happened around theater not reach here? Or was this calm perhaps a calm before the storm? One could only wonder.

Weird, he didn't remember there being a giant exciting water park here at the aquatic biome. How had he not seen this before? There were so many slides and fun rides all around him, granted they were all a little blurry for some reason but they still looked super fun. There was even this one that reached waaaaaaaaaay up into the air further than the little fluff ball could crane his neck back to look up at. Hey look, now there are cranes in the water. Both the birds and the giant building... Thingy... What was its name? Everything was really fuzzy in his head. Wait, hold on a sec. There were definitely not any cranes in the middle of the ocean last time he was here. That made no sense, and why were all the rides slowly disappearing?

As a star stunned Kuzi laid on his back staring blankly up at the sky as his head spun. He had been running down the beach towards where he thought he remembered one of his recent new friends living to check on him and see if everything was okay here. Though the sight of a giant awesome pirate ship had caught his attention for but a moment before he tripped and plummeted face first into a lone rock that lay beside him on the beach. He had barely regained his consciousness when he heard a nearby voice call out something. "Hughhle, bwwuhhaa, dderruarr, sssayyylar?" He'd mumble nonsensically as he gained enough awareness to feel the throbbing pain in his head and started to slowly rub his forehead with one paw, whimpering slightly as he did so.

No sooner had the trio met, did the water begin to roll and crash upon the shore. The depths seemed to churn and bubble as if suddenly set to boil. The monochrome splicer would feel a sharp pain begin to wrack their body, perhaps a delayed reaction to whatever was causing this? Perhaps it had just taken some time to reach the Aquadome... Regardless of the reason a change had begun...



To those who have chosen to give their genetics to others, to toy with nature and spit in the face of the god that made them. It would start as a dull ache, and quickly bloom into a horrific burning sensation. As every cell in your body mutated and died, the pain would render you speechless and catatonic, your own screams joining those of the poor souls around you who fell to the corrupted. However, just as the light of death would creep into your vision… something pushes back. Maybe your will, maybe your inner self… Maybe just dumb luck. Whatever it is, the pain dies down, your body becomes yours once more… though you cannot deny that something is different… Give into your mutations...you know what to do… You can still feel your bones squirming, your blood thickening and thinning, your organs rearrange themselves into stronger, better configurations. You are changing into something beautiful… you cannot die here, not until you find out what you will become.

“I’m… So sorry. Nothing like this was ever meant to happen...” A defeated voice would hide itself away, not daring to reveal themselves for all the pain that they’d brought to others. “It was all meant for expression… To let people be whoever they wanted to, people deserved a choice and I alone found a way. H… How could I had known that it would come to this, there was no way to possibly test the side effects further! This is the work of the unnatural powers, not science. It… It wasn’t sciences fault.” A short sniffle could be heard to those whose genes now meshed with their bodies more than ever. “There's no way to take it back now… Just please, keep yourselves safe… You know where to find me when this all dies down…”


When the pain subsided, the young splicer would be thrust back onto the beach as the waters began to arc and waves crashed... The Demon who claimed the boat as their perch would have the worst time of it as the wreck began to crumble underneath them... Then sudden as it began, the water began to recede... further and further back, far further then it had rested at first...

The demon would continue to watch the ocean, his senses taking in the quiet crashing of waves, the whisper of the wind, the calmness of the night. It was a perfect picture really only marred by the demon’s presence and as time ticked on the presence of others too. The demon would remain quiet as the first approached and when spoken to his eyes would narrow, an air of aggression tightly held in check was present, but despite that violent tendecy the demon did not move to attack as he flicked his tail a bit for balance as he looked down at the one that had posed such an interesting question.

He would take in the being who appeared much like himself, a creature made of three colors or less, but indeed nothing of the pen. No this one was more solid and yet perhaps not human? Those horns were certainly a curious thing and the eyes even stranger. What a curious creature indeed. So very curious. Perhaps it was curiosity that caused the demon to actually interact with the man or perhaps manners. It was hard to say, but the demon would answer nevertheless.

“More like waiting to see if the Hell Gates will open here too. The chaos outside of this place is...interesting to say the least. And you? Out for a stroll to challenge Fate or perhaps you too are curious about this insanity, yes?” the demon would say in tones that were calm and yet unstable at the same time as he gave what one could only assume was a charming fangy grin to the other. It was hard to say if the demon was being kind or not, the mixture of hostility and insanity that surrounded the creature thick; however, it spoke logically enough, so maybe that was okay? Who knew.

Regardless, the demon would give the other a chance to respond if he wanted before becoming distracted by some form of sound. Looking a bit towards the land, he would spot a pink something there laying about by a rock before it was moving and doing something. He honestly wanted to see what it was up close. Was it one of those creatures that he had killed or something else?

So curious, but apparently this place wanted to keep him distracted. No sooner had he seen the pink thing did the sound of the water changing caught his attention. Looking back at the water, he would see it begin to act quiet strangely and in turn begin to cause his perch to crumble.

“Tsk!” the demon would click his tongue as he bared his fangs in agitation as he crouched down for balance and then pushing off his crumbling perch he would flap his broken wings, the movement able to push him back and allow him to kind of sort of flutter downward. It was quite odd really. Not really flying at all, but it did cause his fall to be soften as landed on the ground and backed away from the ship as it crumbled and the waters began to pull back away from the shore. While the ink demon should’ve been terrified of this, he would grin as he moved slightly back from the shoreline watching the water.

“Purrhaps I will get my answer now,” he would purr seeming amused at a situation that was not amusing at all, his aggressiveness and want for destruction high.

Continuing to whimper to himself as he rubbed his head, the small creature was unsure if the sudden feeling of the floor shaking underneath him was real or him just hallucinating from a concussion or something worse. Either way, he'd eventually find himself able to keep his head up right and eyes open for long enough to see the awesome pirate ship that had caused him to trip over in the first place crumble to pieces. Ha! That's what you get for making me trip and hurt myself. That's like karma. Boat karma. Pirate boat karma! I bet a pirate boat has lots of bad karma, clearly causing him to trip over was the last straw before all of its karma had accumulated and caused it to just go poof. Unless, something else made it go poof. Which would have to be something... Let's just say a fair size bigger than himself. Hm. Nope, he preferred the first option.

Though that didn't explain why the water was going away, he could of sworn he was just by the edge of the water before he fell down. How long was he out for to have the tide go back that far? D-did the tide even go back that far? It defiantly didn't look right whatever it was doing. Giving his best effort, one paw after another the small creature would stand to his feet. Stumbling forward a few steps before losing his balance and walking haphazardly as he tried to regain some sense of balance evidently ending up knocking himself straight into the pale skinned mans leg and falling to his side again with a short whine.

"J-jeez. How hard did I hit my head? It feels like, a lot. A lot of hit hard." The small creature would question himself out loud, not even realizing the fact it was a person he had knocked into as he shook his head and stood back to his four paws. "Okay. Okay. I'm okay." Again the fluff would mumble to himself before taking a proper look at his surroundings and noticing the person he was with. "O-oh. Uhhh, hey? Sorry. Uhm, what's going on? I'm not interrupting anything am I?" His words came out confused before he suddenly remembered the happenings of what had been going on all day. "W-wait... This isn't good, is it? Why do I, how do I always manage to get into these messes. This doesn't look good, no, nope. Wait who is that other person? Are they the one who did that? Are they with you? Am I still dreaming? Was the entirety of today a dream? Oh if that's true that'd be so great... Though I don't think I've ever felt pain like this in a dream, so... Hm, damn." Whilst he thought about this, Kuzi would finally decide to look over the guy he was with instead of just worry about himself and talk about what was on his mind. "U-uh. Are you alright? You look a little... Pale... N-not being rude or anything if that is! Sheesh its so hard to tell sometimes..."

The water would continue to recede for only a moment longer, as what appeared to be a large reptilian head began to emerge from the salty deeps... no... It would be more proper to say the sea was becoming the best that now towered over the three. It regarded them for only a moment before letting out a bone chilling shriek.

Deep One:

Kuzi would grumble to himself lightly, both from the stinging pain still echoing in his head and the fact this guy was telling him his hopes of this being a dream were for naught. Though, before he had a chance to think of any kind of way to reply the water did. Something... Something water shouldn't do. Nope. That shouldn't happen, not at all. That thing can't be real, haha. N-nope. Nah. It was like, a sky scraper. He was like the size of one of its toes. Ha. Haha. "Holy chicken fillets..." He'd weez out between panicked breathes, looking left and right rapidly thinking of what to do and only achieving hurting his head more. "Oh my god. Oh my god. The hell is that thing! Haha! I'd prefer not to die today thank you Mr giga raptor! I like my skin and fluff where it is, with me and not ripped to shreads!" The small creature would seem to call out as a natural response to his sudden overwhelming fear, laughing nervously in-between sentences as if he truly did believe he was still just asleep and this wasn't real at all.


With his call, a bluish mist would surround the pink fluff for a moment before collecting together beside him into the fungal persona that he had used earlier that day. With a huge sigh of relief that he was able to call Denki back so easily, he would near instantly position himself behind the infected persona, putting as much distance between himself and the goliath as possible. As this all occurred, a strange sensation would fill the small creatures body. It was an odd feeling of almost adrenaline and power, thoouuughhhh. He'd just hope that was passed to Denki too for use, as he weren't getting anywhere near that thing to do anything with it himself. "Ha... Haha... Denki, u-uh, you can deal with this guy right? With the pew pew ice? Y-yeah? Awesome! Good luck with that!"


A flurry of icy cold wind would envelop around Denki's body, almost seeming to encase her entire body in a layer of icicles that then shattered off from one another one by one to form a cascade of sharp pointed icicles aimed straight for the monoliths head.

While the ship still stood, the demon would flick his tail as he kept eye contact with the strange man below. There was something about him that was familiar now that he thought on it, but as long as Demix was in control the creature was not quite able to put the reasoning behind this together. Not yet. Either way, he wouldn’t attack the other. Despite his chaotic nature, unless provoked the creature did not attack without reason as it preferred to study the world and only slaughter and devour that which would rather bite and gnash fangs at him versus being still and lettinh him pick it apart for his own gain.

That aside, he would find himself tilting his head slightly at the man. “Drawn out by the taste of fear were you? How interesting,” he would purr taking a keen interest in the man; however, before he could do more poking about it would seem the location around them would decide to throw a multitude of distractions at him, including the man he took interest in going to the ground in pain. The creature would only grin at this wondering if it was the same process that had woken him up affecting the other. He would watch intrigued for a few seconds before the water distracted him with its strange behavior and as he displayed joy for this issue, the man with him would recover and make a comment that only made the demon chuckle highly amused.

“Does my enthusiasm scare you?” he would ask as his eyes narrowed and slid to the corners to look at the man; however, whatever was to come of that he would have to see. In any case, he was once more distracted as he caught a movement around the guy’s leg and looked down to the pink chatter box that came along. He would take in the words, but surprisingly did not respond right away as he observed the pink fluff ball and then listened to the conversation that was occurring between it and the pale man. And then more distractions came as the strange creature formed out of the water. As it gave its roar, the demon would rub his ears before being assaulted by more ramble from the pink fluff. He would sigh slightly his grin gone for now as he spoke.

“I will admit I am a creature of chaos, but I alone cannot undo the world like this. Whatever is at work is far more powerful in the creativity and entertainment department than I, but that matters not. In the end, this show will come to end too just like the last one,” the demon would begin in a calm tone before glancing down at the pink fluff and giving a fangy grin. “It’s time to start believing in real nightmares, little one. I have a hunch this occurrence may just become part of normal life.” A perfect thing for him if it did come true. All the research and fun he could have with the world in such a state. Delicious! But not now. Now it was time to concentrate. Yes. Concentrate to bring this lovely creature to death’s embrace, so he could see what it would yield for him on this blood and fear soaked night.

Focusing, he would take a position to the left of the pale man taking note of his change in appearance and now his ability to use powers. Heh. So it was an awakening of a sort though what that all meant outside of powers to fight was a mystery for now. Anyway, the man would cast spells and the panicky one would use a creature to attack...and miss the giant creature? The demon would frown a bit as if in thought before moving to kneel down and touch the ground.

“Hmmm. Let’s see here,” he would hum as he channeled his energy into the earth to form an earth attack that went rushing towards the enemy.

Kuzi was already worryingly aware of the fact all these nightmarish things probably wouldn't go away any time soon. He'd gulp heavily as he was given the advice that he was allowed to run if he wanted to. It wasn't like he was that much of a scardy cat, he had fought something earlier that day without too much of a problem... It was just how intimidatingly huge that tail was that was heading straight for his face.

With a sharp cry, Kuzi manage to somewhat avoid the worst of it just with his naturally small target and the fact he instinctively ducked as he noticed it. Though it still hurt real bad, he'd shake his head as he got back up to his feet. A little more determined than he was before. "Ha... Nah, I couldn't do that to you guys. Leave you will all the fun...? Haha... You must be joking! Plus I really don't want that thing to be able to hurt anyone it doesn't have to, so if I can help make sure it doesn't hurt no body then I'll do everything in my power to stop it! Right Denki?" The small creature would say to his persona, looking up for the first time at the attack she had cast before hand, the icicles had seemed to separate into a circle shape that flew right past the dino's head. "D-did you miss aga-"



Trying to make out that she wasn't messing up again, the fungal persona would concentrate on the icicles that had missed, launching them all again with now downward momentum into the top of the beasts head. She'd lightly sigh to herself though, she needed to learn how to concentrate through her hosts blathers. He clearly wasn't going to stop.
