It was like thunder shuddered the sky before a bolt of lightning dropped on the earth to cause a cataclysmic phenomenon. The explosion of energy and power shook the earth to its core, reaching deeper levels never felt before. It was similar to a natural disaster that could sweep a town or village into oblivion, nearly as powerful as a nuclear bomb. The devastating aftereffects of the attack became apparent as a large mushroom of dust and lightning surged high into the sky like a beacon of doom. The shockwave of the demon falling from the sky was so great that the earth shuddered, shocked, and collapsed, causing the very large diameter of the Twin Peak to depress into a crater while lightning sparks emitted from its surface, a testament to the demon's power. As the dust cleared, a figure stepped through the dust, coughing and staggering as a result of the attack, but yet, his glowing blade emitted courage and will. A red orb floated over his head, but it soon dimmed into oblivion and shattered, causing a dome to disappear. His glowing, white, ethereal eyes showed through the dust particles as he stopped in his tracks when he noticed the cascade of darkness that hovered over him. "Hah, fuck". He muttered as he slowly looked up to find the cause of the darkness, but even without seeing it, he had an idea of what it was. "You bastard. Happy with yourself?" He muttered as a cold chuckle escaped his lips. Hovering over him, was the giant figure of the Mountain Baby. Its crimson, demonic eyes glowed through the dust with malevolent delight while its row of canine teeth simmered with dark pleasure. It giggled, its bestial laughter sending waves of terror through the air as he stared down at Raph. Perhaps it thought it had won the little scuffle, if you were to call it that, or perhaps it simply delighted in playing with its prey before consuming it, but the demon simply stared at Raph, as if waiting for him to act. Raph cursed under his breath as a wave of pain shook him. He staggered, but held strong and took a few steps back, then stopped. He began to line his thoughts in order because if he didn't, he would die. 'I should be glad that my attack activated first; if not, I would have truly died.' He thought while he stared at the demon and the long demarcation that he created between them. Shards of ice could be seen piercing out from the demarcation that stretched downwards into the ground. It was created to transfer some or most of the shockwave downwards to alter its true power, and luckily for him, it worked. 'Though, now, I'm facing a new challenge'. He thought as he gripped his sword. 'How do I even win against a Grand Demon when I'm simply a master?' Suddenly, something struck him into realization. His eyes widened slowly, and his face twisted into a scowl. '....I'm...weak?' the thought was like a wake-up bell or a snap from delusions. Like he had been deluded into thinking he was strong all this time. 'For generations, we have fought against demons, and even grand demons fell to our feet. But with time came weakness, and man began to fall from his true potential. He stumped his feet on the ground, and an explosion of sound occurred as he barred through the sound barrier, causing his body to whisk into and out of sight before he appeared on the other side, behind the demon. The demon turned back in confusion as its body suddenly tripped and slammed into the ground before dragging itself against the ground of the crater and smashing into bits of rocks. It turned downwards to find a pool of red blood gushing out from its hind and forelimbs that was cut off from its place. It growled in annoyance, as its human-like face distorted into anger and carnage while it screamed into the air in fury. Raph sighed as he stumped his feet, ready to charge in yet again when the demon suddenly spun its head in his direction with glowing red eyes. 'Shit!' he cursed as fiery crimson demonic beams were shot at him at the speed of sound, distorting space while Raph forced his body to the other direction, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth. He quickly ran across the crater, sliding his feet on the earthen ground as the beam continued to follow his trail. 'That cut was lucky.....it didn't expect I would reach the realm of an eleventh star, but I won't be able to do much with just this'. He thought when he suddenly felt a throbbing pain that caused him to trip on his foot, before falling to the ground with a loud thud. 'Shit!' he cursed as he coughed out blood and quickly ran forward just before the laser beam exploded the spot he had fallen to. 'This thing is taking a toll on me! Is it because I haven't used it in a while?!' he wondered as he continued his frantic escape from the beam. But soon enough, he began to understand that the creature wouldn't stop until it hit him. 'I can't allow that'. He thought and changed the direction of his goal. He charged forward towards the demon that was slowly regenerating its limbs while dodging the beam at the same time. The demon had become wary at this point, as it increased the speed of the laser beam in striking him when Raph had nearly reached a foot close to it, but just as it was about to finally strike Raph, his body whisked, and disappeared, appearing at the side of the demon in the blink of an eye. The demon could not follow through in the end, and the beam was cut off as soon as it reached its regenerating hind foot. Raph used that little opportunity and charged in nearly immediately, swinging his sword through the air as he left a trail of ice in its wake. "Chapter 10! Bottomless Surge!" Five giant dragon heads, the size of an automobile vehicle, exploded from his sword as a gravitational force pushed the demon to the ground with a loud thud. He swung his blade downwards and the force pushed the demon further into the ground, causing a deep crater to form while lava and red fire began to erupt from the crater. It growled in frustration as it struggled to set free, pulling itself back to its feet with nearly the same force as the gravitational push. The five dragon heads slammed into its body, causing waves of pain to spread through it as it screamed in fury. The resistive force suddenly increased and Raph found himself struggling to maintain the gravitational hold. Constant explosions of power and energy occurred as they struggled to get the upper hand but soon enough, the demon had gotten tired. "KRIIIIEEEEEK!!" A hollow and inhumane cry like that of a baby and a distorted radio sound pierced through the air like a trumpet of death and a shockwave exploded from its body and blew everything from its path.
