y stood up slowly while staring at his best friend. His hulking size, gray skin and ck scales made him look less than human and the white light pulsing through his body like veins was a mystery.


    Cain''s facial features were mostly the same as before, apart from two. His eyes were as ck as the night sky and had the emotions of a rock behind them. The other disparity between the current Cain and the old was his hair, orck thereof.


    "It was Trent who did this to you, wasn''t it? He used that ability of his to turn you into some kind of beast..." y said.


    His voice sounded calm and caring, like a mother concerned about their child''s health. There was a great amount of anger gathering inside y but his concern outwayed that in the present moment.


    There was no response from Cain. He made no attempt to speak, his eyes didn''t move, not even a grunt escaped him. There was simply no reaction.


    "Cain? Are you still... In there?" y asked with a tentative tone as he focused on Cain''s eyes.


    ''I know the others who Trent transforms lose themselvespletely but he seems different.'' y thought after receiving no response for the second time.


    Cain suddenly started walking forwards at a slow pace and y wasn''t sure about what he should do.


    Is Cain an enemy now? Is there still some part of him in there? Do I need to fight him? These were the thoughts running through y''s mind.


    ''He attacked me by surprise earlier but... It didn''t hurt much. I know he''s able to perform more powerful attacks than what he did so why didn''t he? Was he holding back because he didn''t want to hurt me?''


    Cain stopped his approach once he was less than a meter away from y. With hisrge scaled body and y''s size manipted body, their chests were almost touching.


    "Cain... We don''t ha-"


    Cain suddenly crouched down, mmed his shoulder into y''s stomach and wrapped his arms around y''s back.


    y''s sentence was cut short due to the sudden ''attack''. His body was now being lifted off the ground as Cain began to run from building to building, smashing y through every wall in their path.


    "Stop it Cain! We don''t-" Boom! ~Crumble~


    y felt a heavy impact as his body was pushed through yet another wall.


    "We don''t have to fight!" y continued to shout out to Cain, trying to get him to stop his assault, to no avail.


    With each wall he went through, each building that copsed, y was realizing how pointless his words were.


    ''This is a terrible way to fight...'' y thought. ''He''s doing almost no damage to me and has left himself wide open. I could attack his head with my elbow quite easily and his back ispletely exposed. Is he really holding back?''


    ''If I can knock him out and capture him, maybe we can do something to atleast bring his mind back. I doubt there''s anything we can do about his body though...''


    y turned his head as much as he could and saw that he was a few seconds away from being pushed into another building.


    Rather than let that happen, he lifted his elbow and brought it down hard on Cain''s head. He made sure to hold back a bit so that he wouldn''t idently do too much damage.


    He felt Cain''s grip around him slip slightly and used that opportunity to shrink his own body down to his regr size.


    The change in ys size and suddenly blow to the head made Cain unable to react quick enough, allowing y to fall to the ground.


    However, Cain was still running forward and y would simply be trampled if he didn''t do something. This didn''t concern y in the slightest though, since this was his n.


    While falling, y made sure to turn his body and position it just right so he could execute his next attack as soon as hended.


    The moment his feet touched the floor, y grew to his biggest form while hooking his arm under Cain and between his legs.


    His lifted with all his might, using his sudden growth and immense strength to lift Cain off the ground.


    His other arm was ced under cain''s chest, allowing him to guide Cain''s body once he was lifted.


    y executed his n with perfect uracy and lifted Cain without issue. Using the momentum from Cain''s running, aswell as his own strength, he threw Cain into the same building he was about to be smashed into.


    Cain''s body mmed through the wall, destroying it and a bit of the ceiling in one fell swoop. Hended on the first floor of the building (not ground floor) and somehow the floor didn''t copse beneath him.


    y quickly jumped into the building to continue his attack but was faced with a difficult situation.


    The destruction of the wall and ceiling created a smokescreen of dust, making it very difficult to spot where Cain was.


    He could hear the voices of several people shouting about the situation, asking what was going on, but he couldn''t see them.


    Suddenly, Cain''srge body emerged from the Mist and a fist mmed into y''s face. He was pushed backwards and into a different wall, causing more of the building to copse around them.


    y could hear the people around him panicking and didn''t want to kill his own people by mistake.


    ''We need to move the fight somece else.'' He decided.


    y reached back and grabbed a piece of the wall he had just crashed into. He swung therge stone chunk and mmed it into what he believed was Cain''s face.


    Cain''s body was thrown backwards and up, smashing through a wall on the other side of the room and the ceiling. His body was thrown out of the buildingpletely,nding in the street outside.


    y quickly followed being him, jumping through he same hole Cain had just created in the ceiling.


    Hended in the street outside and turned around to view the damaged building. He wasn''t too happy to see that the building was in the process of copsingpletely.


    ''I hope whoever was inside managed to get out.'' He thought as he turned to face Cain once again.
