"Heh heh heh..." Ryoji smirked, unfazed by Shadow's feeble attempts at breaking his barrier, "Do you think your muscles can even scratch my scales? Underestimative," he monotely said, his eyes ignoring Shadow and fixing on Ereth, "Do you think your empty threats have any effect on my determination and zeal for a new world? Deluded," and with a sudden, wicked grin he looked at Nera in her human form, "Broken, are you, Lady F'Nerah? Or should I call you human scum now?" he started laughing, "Bwahahaha!" he burst, suddenly joining his arms before he extended them, pushing Shadow onto one of the pillars with incredible kinetic strength, "Dirty animal!" he roared, going back to Ereth, "You pose as one of us, yet my void did not affect you. You are the same as every single worthless vermin attempting to ruin my perfect world, begone!" he growled as he pointed Ereth with two fingers, a thin but incredibly destructive beam projecting towards him at an incalculable speed.

Mar was speechless, he watched as Ryoji laughed and made short work of everyone. He was now sure he was all but useless in the fight now that his form and powers had been stripped away. He couldn't even lift Dorothy off the ground without effort, his human blue eyes were widened with fear of what might happen to them, but he then began growling, "Don't give up!" he shouted, "Guys! Please!" he said, "I know I'm not helping you, but I've fought you all at least once, this bastard can't beat you! Work together!" he desperately said out loud.

"Wh-wha...?" Terramore looked at his paws, rather, his human hands, "No... no! What has happened?!" he growled in despair. His formal suit was a bit loose now that he had lost bulk. Lino and Lina were two perfectly young kids with different hair color, but it was clear to anybody that would watch them that they were related.

"Mr. Terramoore!" Lino groaned, "Something's wrong! Sis and you have changed!"

"It's happened to you as well!" Lina helplessly corrected, standing beside his now human brother, "It's happened to all dragons! What are we going to do?! Mr. Terramoore!"

"Grrr, shut up! SHUT UP! This is all your fault!" Terramoore snapped, swinging his bigger but still weaker arm at the pair, "If only you had just freed me, we could've walked away unharmed!"

The children screamed in pain as they were knocked to the floor, "Mr. Terramoore, forgive us!" Lina said as she trembled, "We thought, Client Uzumaki, and our... We just...! Eeeeee!" she squealed as she was stepped on, the human Terramoore going beyond control.

"You. Useless. Kids!" Terramore shouted as he kicked, "Your fault... This is all YOUR fault!" he was about to punch Lina, but Lino made a quick recovery and pounced at his chest, starting to bang his fists on him.

"Stop hurting her, bastard!" Lino growled as he pounded on the adult's chest, "Let my sister go!" he cried, knowing he had no chance now that he didn't have his dragon form, he wouldn't have had a chance either, but Terramoore not only had made his sister cry, she was unconscious and bleeding after that severe stomp to her belly. What if he had killed her...? The thought only enraged the young kid further, "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" he screamed.

"Get off me, shrimp!!" Terramoore scowled, trying to push Lino off but his hands gripped tightly, he began pounding onto the kid's back relentlessly hoping it would knock the pest off his self.

Lino's resolve was strengthened even further with the pain, "We did all you asked! We were just trying to help everyone! That's what you told us to do! We owe you from saving us after our parents were killed, but you have no right to hurt my sister!"
