"What's happening to me?" a voice in my head cried out. I hushed out the thoughts an slowly turned my head to Blake.

I slowly brought my face down to his ear and whispered, "You're lucky to be alive right now."

I slowly brought my claw up and rubbed it across his neck. He winced and looked at me through his one open eye.

"Let this be a reminder to never touch Kera again." I brought my claw down upon his closed eye, leaving a terrible gash. Blood poured out of the wound and Blake howled in agony.

I walked away ignoring the astonished look on Droplet's face and walked up to Kera, rubbing up against her. I growled at Teir, who was still whimpering in a bush, to get him to stop. He did so and walked out to sit with the rest of the pack of misfits in our group. I scowled at everyone before lying down and closing my eyes, my transformation still leaving me quite dazed. I felt Kera lay down next to me and finally drifted to sleep.

--- Teir's POV ---

"We've gotta get the old Saph back. Look at him! Smug little bastard..." Droplet grumbled, pointing out Saph. I turned my head away, not wanting to listen to the plans of revolt.

"Saph is my friend. I don't want to hurt him. But if this gets the old, nice... nicer Saph back, then is it worth it?"

"I guess I really don't have a choice." I decided finally, turning my head back to listen to Droplet's speech.

"...So if we all come together, we know what to do. We've gotta beat this demon out of him." she finished.

"Um, just curious, Droplet. How do we even know this is a demon? Maybe Saph evolved." I cringed at the look of annoyance on her face.

"Teir. Shut up while you're ahead, please." she sighed, "Now who's in?"

Razor and Droplet simultaneously said they were in.

"You must all think I'm deaf." Razor, Droplet and I turned our heads to see Kera with an indifferent look on her face.

"I'm in." she declared, before putting her head back down and going to sleep.

"And I am too." a deep voice murmured from the the shadows of a large tree. The figure stepped out, revealing none other then Blake. A new scar had already formed over his left eye.

"Anything to get Saph back." he decided, shutting his eyes before walking back into the shadows of the tree.

That was everyone. Except for me, of course. With all yes on me, I shut my eyes before sighing.

"I'm in."

-- Saph's POV ---

"GET HIM!"

Was all I heard before it happened. It felt like someone was repeatedly Hyper Beaming me. After what seemed like hours of brutal abuse, I opened my eyes to see Razor, Droplet, Teir and Kera staring at me in a battle pose.

"Get out of him, demon!" Kera yelled dramatically before running at me and slamming her head into my side. I growled and spat a Shadow Ball in front of her as a warning.

"I don't want to hurt you." I said motioning to Kera, and turned his head before continuing.

"But I'll kill all of you." I motioned to Razor, Teir and Droplet. Razor growled before sending razor sharp leaves at me. I easily reflected them with a large Shadow Ball and laughed.

"Is that really all you can do? You're going to have a tough time with this fight then." I pounced towards Razor, but was immediatly cut off by a tackle to my side. I flew a few feet before hitting a tree and looking over. Blake was standing in my path with a triumphant look on his face.

"Guess you're not as tough as you thought, huh, Saph?" he chuckled and shot two Shadow Balls at me. I growled before countering with two ghostly orbs of my own. I was about to pounce before I felt something. Something under me. Snapping my eyes open with sudden realization, I jumped up, narrowly avoiding Droplet bursting out of the ground, her claws barely missing my side. I brought my paw down upon her back and sent her flying, knocking her out immediately. Razor's eyes narrowed and he pounced at me.

"Tsk, tsk." I mumbled before showing my fangs and punching him in the snout as he came towards me. Blood poured out of his mouth as I jumped on his back and bit into it. He howled in agony and Blake shot a powerful Shadow Ball at me. I sighed at the fact that I had to remove myself, but jumped over the orb and laughed at the impact on Razor's head. Droplet awoke in time to see it and then fainted again. Blake growled and ran at me. He had a determined look in his face and his eyes were narrowed.

"Giga Impact." I thought to myself with a chuckle. I was about to jump out of the way when something strange happened. Kera jumped in the way of the impact. Without thinking, I pushed her out of the way. With no time left to move, I was helpless from the attack. A sharp pain appeared in my chest, and everything went black.

"Get out of my body." a calm voice spoke.

"Where am I?"

I slammed my eyes shut at the intense light of the room and waited until my eyes adjusted. I looked around at my surroundings. I appeared to be in a cold, circular room. I shivered before looking in the direction of the voice that spoke. A lone Umbreon stood before me. His eyes were shut, and he appeared very tranquil.

"I'll only say this one more time. Get. Out. Of. My. Body." he said with a snarl.

"I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about." I growled back with a smirk.

"Ha. A demon who doesn't even know his purpose. It figures that an idiot would be the one to take me over."

I snarled and shot a Shadow Ball at the Umbreon. He disappeared and re-appeared inches away from me. I shot a confused look before he continued talking.

"You can't hurt me in my own mind." he yelled before punching me across the snout.

"I'll be taking back what's mine now."

He brought his paw up before saying one last thing:

"When you get back to your boss... tell him I generously decline his offer."

And then everything went black once more.
