(My turn ladies and gent)
With a sickening laughter; like a corpse exhumed after months of
rot, the body of Zero shook with tumultuous ripples as the
creature bent over and let out the heated burst of sound. His
eyes closed as honest amusement glinted in them, and before he
could rise back to a righted position, he was taken aback by the
sight that befell him. His feet were nearly white and frozen;
his legs almost crystallized up to the waist, and the threading
ice particles were spreading inch by inch across his form.
"What sorcery is this? Do you do this.... witch?" He growled out
the question; his anger rising to a boil instantly; inverted to
the sudden and dangerous drop in temperature that warped around
his form. "Do you dare attack me?" Kayis was consumed with
ravenous wrath as his eyes burned with an icy evil far older
than the body they settled within. He scraped at his legs with
nails breaking away pieces of ashen grey flesh as he did so.
Slowly he was decaying and freezing; Zero's body unable to
maintain his energy perhaps? Or was it one last attempt at
salvation by the boy?
"Ill kill you if you continue" The words were harsh, uttered
with guttural and low growls under each syllable, and yet they
were spoken indirectly to anyone and anything listening. A
threat not just to the woman, or her pet, or even the warm
bodied beast who lurked farther away, but to Zeros consciousness
as well. The master was being destroyed at the expense of the
pupil... by the pupil.. Kayis would not stand for it.. in
fact... as time progressed at an agonizing pace, Standing would
soon become more than difficult as flesh fell away, and frozen
particles of blood shattered against the tundra flooring beneath
him.
"I have no choice it seems...." Righting himself at the expense
of a great chunk of flesh from his waist and hip, Kayis lurched
forward towards the nearest tree, and with the concentrated
force of his will and energy focused on one cause and one idea,
something began to happen. Water was drawn from the tree;
killing it slowly, painfully if it could in fact feel, and as
the water drew away from the bark and the flesh of the mighty
earthen limb, it froze in great crystal shards between the man
and the trunk.
There it hovered for moments; collecting, amassing, conjoining,
as a figure was produced. A male body; completely born of ice
and stolen life from the tree, was born, and with excruciating
steps forward, Kayis thrust his hands into the chest cavity of
the newly crystallized creation, and released a glorious howl
into the darkness. His eyes sparked a brilliant blue, then faded
to a transcendent white once more, as the entire ice sculpture
exploded from within, and reformed instantaneously. The figurine
of a man; suddenly reformed and glowing an icy blue, turned and
looked around. Fear was painted on the silhouetted and empty
face of the sculpted man, as it opened its lips and released yet
another howl.
Not of excitement, or fear, or anger, but of pain. Zero was
inside the thing; the creation. His soul was suddenly thrust
into the puppet of snow and tundra, and it screamed in tortured
agony for several seconds before collapsing on the ground in a
kneeling position. There was no doubt about what happened; to
any who might know of Kayis and Zero, but to any unsuspecting,
it was but a puppet without strings. An icy marionette without
handles or holds to move it and will it forward.
Kayis panted and breathed heavily as he drew back into his
stolen body, and as his eyes returned to the woman whom he had
threatened, and whom had threatened him, he smiled. "Is this
good enough..... cause this body is mine... forever" He growled
out the last spoken word as his flesh was healed and his
body.... the stolen body.. was brought back to perfect
condition... He cracked his neck before scratching his thigh,
and with a subtle smirk, he let the pain from the scraping nails
drive one more final and confirming suspicion into his mind. He
was.... entirely.. one hundred percent.. in control of the body,
of the youth once more... of the power that both he and his
pupil had controlled.

(Well, good thing I brought This guy into here. He's going to
fit in great.)
The footsteps of the android halted for a second. His body
stopping in mid-stride towards the town that was now within
fifteen feet of him. He needed to scout the town, he should have
scouted the town better, for now the blinking light inside of
his left eye began to sound an alarm only he could hear. A power
spike somewhere had alerted his sensors. There was something not
right about this place and he instantly found himself regretting
not watching for a longer time. The gears within the body of the
machine began to spin more furiously, sending more of the fluid
which kept the thing alive, a mixture of blood platelets, some
vital proteins, a synthetic thin oil only made in three places
on the earth, and a red dye to make it look real, coursing
through his plastic veins. Heightened senses began to overcharge
and focus more.
The man looked as if he had entered a suspended animation, his
body locked in in position as his arms hung motionless where
they had been when his functions began to deactivated and
reactivate in a new mode. The blinking warning light in his
pupil, suddenly solidified, turning his entire pupil red for a
moment before vanishing completely. Now, under his flat brimmed
hat, appeared a scouted 3D map of the area that only he could
view, including elevations and tree coverage for three plus
square miles he had done overview upon. Figures on the map
appeared, giving the last known positions of the people he had
witnessed around the town. In an instant a large red blink
appeared where the energy had been sensed, centralizing on a
tree some yards away. His body, taking a moment to analyze the
information and send out a small pulse to cover the area with an
invisible scanner confirmed a new life form, two actually. The
targeted tree had recently become deceased.
"Targeting parameters breached, Accessing protocols 61-278C, Two
unrecognized power levels beyond recognized limit, and 99-174G,
Demon walking upon earth. Based on stress levels and sudden
boost, Protocol X has been recognized, Systems renders the most
secure course of action is to overwatch and allow breaches to
settle before termination of the remaining breaches."
After the analysis of the situation had completed, X's body
unlocked from its frozen position and began to move, following
the signal on his map towards the location of the offenders.
Situation Over-view had conducted that his safest route of
interaction was to allow the subjects to confront one another
and then swoop in, but something inside of his AI told him to
rush in for the glory and take them all. Conflicting programs
had always created a large problem for the android now-a-days,
but he would follow his commands for the time being and remain
aside the action.
Life functions had shut down. The android bore not a single
pulse or anything that would give him away as alive. The man
himself masked his functions as the nearest living object to
him, vanishing through walks of life he moved in order to remain
undetected on his approach. X had become sloppy, the lack of
preparation for such and encounter caused his face to stress
slightly, lines forming at the sides of his eyes as they
narrowed, his nose scrunching up and his lips tilting down to
display an emotion he had only seen, at the mistake in
calculations.
Masking as the tree, X had climbed the back side of the organic
mass and now looked down upon his three targets. There they
were, a boy, it seemed, some woman with a wolf by her side, and
a very apparent Demon of some sorts, his sensors could not
distinguish what kind of Demon at this moment. Resting in the
foliage of the branch, his body crouched low to avoid detection,
the man would seem to meld into the leaves that surrounded him,
becoming nothing more, as it seemed, than leaves himself. inside
his head, a function switched on, displaying before his eye the
words : "Targets locked, recording and Analyzing. .. ... . ..
... . .. ..."
