((As with the seeds above, just a few OOC notes: What Ryoji is capable of in this form is listed here. Arcana switching will likely be skimmed over, and I'll just focus more on the Death arcana for the battle. Don't worry, he'll still have plenty of tarot card and life lessons. More than likely, by the end of this, Ryoji will be forced to revert back to normal and killed before the despair gets the better of him... he's still not immortal, after all.))
[Ryoji was in pain.
Not noticed by most, Ryoji had been awake for the transformation process, as much as he wished he could pass out. He had tried to stay strong, but the darkness coming from the crystals had resonated with every part of his body, and trying to resist just caused more pain, like something burning him from the inside. Eventually, he had lapsed into strangled pleas. He was likely too high up to be heard, but he continued, over and over... "Kill me."
He needed to be destroyed before the shadows overtook him, before he transformed and killed them all instead. Dying, and the strange crushing feeling he'd felt the last few times he'd been 'dead' would hurt, but it would be nothing in comparison to killing all these people, only for them never to wake again.
So he begged with them, but no one heard. It was hopeless... Hopeless.
There was nothing left but suffering now... If only he could end it.
The transformation was swift after that, Ryoji's mouth twisted in an unnatural grin as his eyes turned black, his skin turned pale and two pairs of huge wings erupted from his lower back, shielding him from view until Nyx landed beside its vessels.
It had been content to watch them fight at first, only casting magic to strengthen its warriors and weaken those that fought against them. One by one each of them fell, but the Avatar didn't feel any remorse. It simply turned to the heroes as the last one was defeated, voice echoing from somewhere.]
I see you have defeated my protectors. They shall not suffer any longer... nor will you. Soon everyone in this Tower will have the rest they deserve. Eternal rest, no longer cheated by the administrators bringing us back. You will not fight the peace you have so longed for, will you?
