The sky is painted red with the blood of her allies; the howls of her enemies cry out in victory as she is left alone on the field of battle. She looks around, red hair flowing across her eyes in the wind; the enemy’s ranks stretching out before her like the wall of an impassable mountain. She drops to her knees, bloodied and beaten with tears streaming down her face; not tears of pain but tears at the loss of her friends, her family. The girl looks up one last time to see the sharpened steel point of a kunai right before her eyes. Demi bolted upright in her bed, sweat dripping down her forehead and hair sticking to her face. She had had that dream again; the dream of one against many, the dream of a fight no-one could win alone. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and grabbed a cloth, put there the night before for this purpose, and wiped the sweat from her face pulling her hair back in the process. Demi squinted as the light shone through the window and into her eyes, a mutter escaping her lips. “Why does the morning have to be so bright?” She rubbed her eyes a few more times, stood up and got dressed ready for whatever the day was going to throw at her; until she remembered what the day had in store. Her father had returned to the village. He didn't actually live in the village and had only been here once before that she could remember and that was when her mother had died. It was nothing dramatic of course, she simply passed away in her sleep one night regardless of the fact she was a middle aged woman. Since then Demi had lived with her cousin Yoko’s family and the two got along quite well, often getting in trouble for ‘quarreling’ all the time. Today however did not involve Yoko, in fact her father had specifically asked for her to leave Yoko out of it and to come alone. A bit creepy even though he was her father; still Demi didn't actually know her father. |

| It didn’t take long for Demi to arrive at the meeting spot; a small clearing outside the village nestled against a mountainside. She had no idea what she was doing her and truthfully she didn’t even want to know, she would much rather prefer to be waking Yoko up with a bucket of nice ice cold water. Demi didn’t have to wait long as her father suddenly walked out of the side of the mountain. “Ah, hello Demise. It is good to see you; you have grown quite a bit. What are you 12 now?” Demi looked at the ground, her hair falling in front of her face, clearly not amused by him. “It’s Demi and I’m 14. It’s only logical for me to have grown; you were last here 6 years ago.” Havoc, her father, frowned at her obvious discontent. “Ah yes, your mother’s funeral; sad day it was. Regardless I am here to pass on my family’s jutsu; the golem technique. The technique that allows us to turn the tide of battle in an instant by summoning an army of our own.” Perhaps this is what that dream had been trying to tell her all these years; it was a yearning to learn her clans jutsu, a means to win against unimaginable odds. Demi still did not like the fact that her father was here but she had no real reason to distrust or to decline his offer of teaching her. “So you’re going to teach me this jutsu?” Havoc grinned, to people that didn’t know him they would merely think he is pleased but to people that had seen that smile before would know that his plans are coming together all too perfectly. “Right, let’s get started then. Earth Release: Golem Technique” Havoc forms three hand signs, slow enough so that Demi could follow them. Rubble starts to peel away from the ground and pile up until it forms into the shape of a golem, towering over Havoc. “Try to imitate my golem’s shape but create it much smaller, about half your size.” Demi followed his hand signs to the exact detail, channeling her chakra like the village academy had taught her. The sand at her feet began to shake however no rubble or even small rocks began to move. Demi focused harder, eyebrows furrowing her forehead, beads of sweat starting to appear. Small pieces of rock began to move, gradually getting bigger until a small pile of rubble had formed when suddenly the pile collapsed and ceased movement; lifeless once again. “Focus Demise, visualize the shape of the golem and concentrate; bend the earth to your will.” Demi sighed quite heavily, already winded from her first attempt, and began the jutsu anew. This time however it was slightly easier with the rubble already being collected into a pile. Demi began to sweat more heavily as the rubble began to rise up into a pillar; not yet resembling a golem. “Make it take shape Demise! This is your family’s legacy!” Havoc snapped at her making her lose concentration, Demi crumpling to the ground and breathing heavily. She raises her head and lets it flop back as she looks up at the sky, a red hue to the sky as she snaps her head forward and looks towards the horizon, the sun setting. “It can’t be afternoon already; I woke up no more than an hour ago.” Havoc grunted is disapproval. “If only. It took you a full day to get to that stage, the rubble barely moved as you were shaping it. ” Demi let her head sink forward, her face now cool with her sweat and the setting sun, a chill creeping over her body. “Go home; you lack the talent for this technique. I’ll have to find another to teach it to.” Demi lifts her head and stares at him, eyes full of contempt. Was this not a family jutsu? How is she so easily replaceable if he has to teach it to someone in the clan? “I thought you said this was the family’s legacy? How can you so easily replace one of the clan?!” Demi was clearly not satisfied with his statement and his lack of interest in her even though she was his daughter. Havoc looks at her displeased and answers rather simply. “I had hoped it would motivate you to try harder. I am merely looking for a protégé. It would have been nice if it could be kept in the family however it is not necessary, talent is what is needed not blood.” Demi grits her teeth, he had lied to her and what’s worse than that is that she could shape some lousy earth. How much talent does it really take to mould a lump of dirt? Demi continued to sit there long after Havoc had left and his footsteps had faded into the night. I’ll show him. I’ll prove to him that I have talent. I’ll surpass what he expects of me |

| Demi continued to practice long into the night, never once losing track of the time again so as to learn the technique by dawn. However that part was not going to plan; every time she would try to shape the column of rubble and dirt the poor construction would crumble and fall back into a pile of rubble. “Damn him! Why would you use a technique like this as a clan technique?! Always having to rely on an army; just rely on yourself for once!” Demi’s eyes opened wide as she notice what she had said and her brain whirred into motion thinking of some possibilities and negating others until she had thought of the perfect idea, and a way to use that idea. Demi flicks two hand signs of her own technique. “Earth Release: Earthen Claws” Earth is generated from the pores of the skin on her arms rapidly and form into large stone armour along her arms all the way down to her hand ending in savage spiked claws. Okay, now to improve his technique. I’ll show him how it’s done. Demi releases her technique and takes a second to regain her composure before performing the three hand signs that Havoc had shown her before tacking the two hand signs from her technique onto the end. She hands the last seal and begins to focus her chakra, the rubble all around her feet began to vibrate violently until suddenly all the rubble flew upwards and was attracted to her like she were a large magnet. Demi continued to focus, more and more rubble being pulled from the earth around her forming a small crater where she was standing. Without warning she collapsed to one earth covered knee, breathing hard, yet refusing to release the technique and continuing to hold the hand sign and focus her chakra. The only problem being she had no chakra left and was unknowingly drawing on the sinister chakra of the yonbi inside her. The rubble began to pile onto her at a much faster rate, red chakra being infused with the stone as the technique was soon complete. Demi finally released the hand sign and returned to her feet and stood there in her stone covered glory. She now stood eight foot tall hunched over, ten if standing straight, with a row of earthen spikes running down her spine. The claws from her own technique had become much more vicious and glowing red eyes burned bright in her skull. A single stone tusk was attached to either side of her mouth which was now lined with jagged stone teeth. She had surpassed her own earth claw technique and had created the Claw Beast Transformation technique.  Demi raised her head to the sky and let out a bestial roar, like the bowls of the earth grating against each other, a deep and empty rage filled roar filled the air. Demi was no longer in control of her newly created technique. |

Demi, or rather the yonbi controlling her, leapt high into the air. Bounding over the dense forest and heading directly for the village, trees being crushed under its lands and being torn from the earth. As Demi lands in the centre of the village, destroying their small market square, she lets out another roar; the houses being heard to vibrate from the sheer volume of the roar. With a mighty swing of her stone covered arm Demi obliterates the first house sending pieces of wood flying everywhere. This is when the screaming began; everyone had woken up when the creature roared but still had no idea what was happening. Now that Demi had destroyed a house they were confident it was not here to give them cookies. Demi continued to rampage smashing house after house until the first signs of resistance began to attack her, the village shinobi coming to stall her from further destruction while the elders planned something. However they had not been planning on the monster assaulting them to be powered by the yonbi; with a single leap into an overhead swing of her arms Demise lands on the ninja, her hands thundering into the ground with a large boom. A large shockwave being sent out as a large crater is formed from her landing, the ninja being scattered everywhere and knocked out cold. Out of nowhere Havoc came flying in on an iron disc and slammed into Demi, three other discs slamming into her knocking her backwards and onto her back with a loud thump. “You stupid girl!” Havoc quickly summons four large golems of his own, each one grabbing one of Demi’s limbs and leaping into the air and out of the village so as the stop and further destruction. Once out of the village the golems hurl her into the forest and chase after her. Havoc still being in the village at this time. “Don’t worry everyone; I’ll take care of this!” Without any further delay Havoc disappears into the earth and reappears where his golems are pinning down Demise. Demi roars and tears up her arms, ripping the two golems that were holding them in half before swatting at the two holding her legs and shattering each one. She climbs back to her feet and leans forward slightly roaring at Havoc. “Oh shut up, you let the yonbi take control of you.” Havoc forms some more hand signs, this time summoning 10 golems all of which lunge at Demise. Demi was ready this time though and not knocked down like she was the last time. Faster than expected of a hulking stone monster Demi duck ad weaves under and through the golems, clawing at them one by one and tearing them to pieces before leaping at Havoc. A large stone wall appearing between the two that Demise simply crashes through striking at the ground where Havoc was. Havoc now stood off to the side and was already summoning yet more golems, 20 in fact. As with before all the golems charge her, trying to overwhelm her with sheer numbers. Demise leapt high into the air, the golems all crashing and gathering at the point where she had leapt up as she comes crashing back down slamming her hands into the ground, crushing all the golems beneath her and forming one hell of a crater, all 20 gone in an instant. “That should be enough now. Your body can probably no longer handle the yonbi after this so the tails should be coming out soon.” Havoc slams his hand into the ground, larges steel slabs piercing out of the ground all around Demise and slamming into her from all sides holding her in place. Havoc twists his hand on the ground, the steel slabs at her sides begins to grow upwards and encase her arms in the metal and locking her neck in place. Without fear Havoc simply walked up to her and up the ramp made out of the steel slabs used to hold her in place. He places his hand on her stomach, the rock falling away as he pushes his hand in further until it rests against Demi’s stomach. With a single twist Havoc seals the yonbi and the rock covering Demi comes falling away from her and crumbles to the ground. Demi, already unconscious and limp, falls onto Havoc as he catches her and places her over his shoulder before returning to the village. |

| Demi awoke in her bed, lying on her back and looking up at her ceiling which had never looked as boring as it did now. She sat up and became acutely aware of someone else in the room with her; looking to her left she found Havoc sitting next to her with a rather annoyed look on his face. As she made eye contact with him he started to speak. “You’ve kept me from finding another pupil for a day now because of your stupidity.” Stupidity? That wasn’t what Demi had done; she had surpassed his technique he was supposed to be proud of her. “What?! I developed something better than your stupid army technique.” Havoc stood up abruptly, unintentionally slamming his hand down on the bedside table with a loud crack. “YOU could not control it. YOU let the yonbi take over. YOU destroyed almost half of the village. Don’t tell me you surpassed anything.” Demi sat and stared; destroyed half the village? Last thing Demise remembers is succeeding at the transformation before waking up here. She assumed Havoc had found her collapsed out of exhaustion. It wasn’t long before Havoc started to leave the room and spoke again. “You will never practice or use that technique ever again. It’s a danger to yourself but more importantly a danger to everyone around you if the yonbi takes over again.” That was too much for Demise, she swung her legs over the edge of her bed and stood up and glared at his back. “That’s not fair! You just don’t want anyone making a technique more powerful than yours!” Havoc whips back around to face Demi with a glare of his own; a stern and powerful look in his eyes. “You are forbidden from using that technique. You will never use it again or so help me I’ll have to stop you from using it permanently.” With that Havoc stormed out of the room and Demi was left angry and frustrated that he had barged back into her life just to tell her she can’t do something. He’s wrong. Demi gritted her teeth and scrunched her hands into fists. I will perfect the transformation and he’ll have to see that I have surpassed him. Demi unclenched her hands and let calmness flow over her, releasing her anger and simply being calm as she spoke in a soft voice. “I will not be like my father. A single soldier may not be a match for an army; but a behemoth is.” |
