"It doesn't matter to me." Garen chimed in, "As long as this sick bastard is deceased."
"Our newcomer is wise. We should not count this villain out yet." Mike added.

Syrus laughed right in their faces, "You all seem a bit full of yourselves tonight, he began, "We will see, thief, who kills who tonight. But before I introduce the guest of honor allow me to explain. I believe most of you are familiar with Faro Sukui and the demon that resides inside of him. While I am not clear on the exact origins of said demon, I believe I have been able to replicate and perfect its shapeshifting abilities. And this perfected demon I applied to my captive. Now behold, as the once innocent child hero of Hyrule has been transformed into... an abomination," he finished. Syrus stepped to the side and revealed the young assassin that was standing behind him. There were several changes to Max's appearance, the most noticeable being his right arm. It had been morphed into a giant blade of flesh and bone that arched toward the elbow. The blade itself was razor sharp, fashioned out of his own osseous matter. His eyes were completely white, and his skin was a light shade of gray. Maximus perfectly still, his head bowed slightly with absolutely no form of emotion present. "Now," Syrus said, grinning menacingly, "Be a good boy little Maximus, and destroy those sorry excuses for heroes."Argoth couldn't believe his eyes, anger boiled up inside him like an ever burning furnace. He quickly swallowed his emotions, remembering what Torak had told him, but it had taken all he had no to lash out at Syrus the instant he revealed his apprentice. Although he had kept his anger at bay, guilt ate away at him inside. How could I hae let Max become this? Dammit! He is going to pay for what he has done.. he thought. Argoth opened his mouth to speak but no words formed and he was left there, staring at what had once been his apprentice.

"What are you doing standing there?" the sea dragon spoke to Argoth, even though his voice was still barely a whisper, there was still a stern tone in it. "It won't be easy, but only you know your apprentice well. . . besides. . . with the skill of fighting. . . the master sometimes must destroy what he created. . . " He knew that Argoth is not going to be willing enough to actually go as far as kill off the young assassin Max, but at least he will be able to anticipate his movement more readily than the others.

"Do not fret, assassin. The one named Syrus is not the only being with a demon on his side." The dark voice came from Torak. A red aura surrounded the Master Assassin and red markings showed upon the skin that wasn't covered by clothing (fingers and face). His eyes were pupiless and were fully white. His nails had grown to the point of claws and the aura seemed to be in the shape of a wolf's ears and tail.

"Oh my Goddesses," Mike stated. His eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Like Argoth, Mike stood motionless, his eyes fixed on the newly revealed monster.
Garen gripped his sword tightly, and at the ready. He shot a stern hating glare at Syrus, then refocused his attention to Max.

"He's right Syrus. You don't know me too well, but I'm not usually so bloodthristy. My true demon bloodlust only comes forth when my power is at its peak." A smooth golden aura surrounded Blade. He raised his right hook sword and slashed at the air. A second later, a small cut appeared on Syrus' left cheek. Blade smirked from beneath his hood.

Eldrin's smile hadn't faltered at all when he saw Maximus's new appearance. "Abomination, huh?" He asked, his voice brimming with happiness. "Well Max, do as the nice man says... Don't just stand there... KILL US!!!" The thief burst into a fit of laughter then stopped abruptly. He clenched his claw hand into a fist, and gestured for Maximus to come with the other.

Maximus slowly made his way down the hill, walking as if he had all the time in the world. His head was still sligtly bowed and he payed no attention to anyone's words at all. As he reached the end of the hill he looked up to survey the field. He immediately rested his eyes upon Eldrin, who was extremely enthusiastic about fighting Max, and began to make his way toward him.
Syrus laughed at thier responses to the new Maximus, "What? You don't like him?" he mocked, chucklingto himself.
Argoth's mind was racing at the speed of light, Shit, what I do? Move dammit! Argoth thought. He turned in Max's direction and sprinted full speed at him.
Maximus had finally reached Eldrin and stood there rigth in front of him. He looked up at the thief and cocked his head as if he were thinking. And then, without warning, he leapt at Eldrin thrusting his arm blade directly at his face. The attack was so incredibly fast his shadow hardly caught up with him. His blade was just millimeters from Eldrin's face when something slammed into him from the side, tackling him to the ground.
Argoth rolled to his feet to face Maximus after he smashed into him. The boy's attention was completely on him now. Without looking away he yelled, "I'll take the boy, you guys go kill Syrus for me!"

"I don't usually take orders from anyone but Torak...but this is different..." Zanza-Torak said, he crouched down on all fours and leapt forward at Syrus, growling and snarling.

Eldrin stared disdainfully at Maximus. He had hoped the fact that Max hadn't immediately responded to Syrus's orders meant there was some of the old Max still in the boy. Eldrin nodded to Argoth's command, strangely acquiescent. "Argoth," He said, not looking at the assassin. "We'll take out Syrus... That should release Max from his control... But if it doesn't, if it's hopeless... You know what you have to do..." He said, before charging at Syrus, attacking seconds after Zanza-Torak.

Blade chuckled and charged Syrus. "With pleasure!" He yelled.

Syrus chuckled at the oncoming assassins and said, "Ah Ah Ahhh, not so fast." And he disappeared from where he stood. Syrus reappeared about a minute later far behind Blade and Torak. He had brought two other people with him, a woman and a man. The man stood on his right side and was grotesquely deformed. His arms were bulbous and enourmously muscular. Viens snaked up and down his arms, and his hands were like miniature boulders. He was several feet taller than Syrus and had legs like tree trunks. His entire body seemed to be comprised of muscle, all the way from his neck down. The man had a similar facial structure to Max and bore the same color eyes, pure white. His skin was the same color gray and his brown hair was thin and hung loosely from his scalp. There was no expression present on his face, as if his sould was just up and gone. The woman standing on Syrus's left was the complete opposite of the brutish man. She was small, almost mouse like, and her red-orange hair flowed beautifully down her back. She too, had white eyes and pale gray skin, with similar features to Maximus. Her head was cocked to the side, hanging loosely like she was always in a state of wonder. Her hands were elongated and thin. All of the fingers on her hands were shaped into razor sharp knives that could slice through flesh like butter. That seemed to be the only change on the woman, for everthing else looked relatively normal.
"You see, Max has a rare bloodline that allowed me to easily integrate the demon into his body and gain complete control. Unfortunately my first two subjects weren't as successful as him. Their shapeshifting abilities limited them to only one change, and they were perminantly stuck that way. Even though they were his parents," Syrus let out a menacing laugh, "The combination of the two spawned the perfect specimen. Anyway, enough talk. Flora, Jack, kill these ingrates."
Max's parents immediately complied and sprinted head on toward Torak and Blade.
Syrus then turned to the newcomer, "As for you, dragon boy, I have thought of a special surprise for you. Be right back." And he disappeared again.

"Such a coward...sending this boys parents to do his dirty work...Come, brother...let us rip these corpses apart and then focus our attentions on Syrus." Zanza-Torak said with glee. The bloodlust was apparant in his pupilless eyes and he leapt at Max's parents, he leapt upon Jack and punched the man in the face.
Jack recoiled a bit and attempted to throw Zanza-Torak off of him. The wolf demon assassin proved too quick and he leapt off of Jack before he attempted to pull him off.

The sea dragon scoffed at Syrus. *We'll see about that* he thought to himself, rushing to aid Torak. Standing a good distance away, he blasted a multitude of ice spells at Jack to slow him down even more, allowing the Zanza-Torak to be able to go in and attack him efficiently while he was distracted.

Zanza-Torak took this moment to strike at Jack, ripping at his chest with his demonic claws.
