The Beast's Trepidation
Beast II was beginning to feel the first stirrings of panic.
The entity before her was a shadow of herself—possessing the same scale, the same authority, and the same unrelenting will to see her erased.
[Aaaaaa･･･!]
And then there was that gargantuan beast. It thrashed with a mad frenzy, summoning storms to bar her path. Both were obstacles. Both were enemies.
Driven by a primal instinct of hatred, she resolved to reveal her true form and end this in a single stroke—but then, something shifted.
『BUMOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!』
[⬛⬛⬛!?]
Suddenly, the storm-god bull turned its fury upon the other monster. With hooves like falling mountains and winds like serrated blades, Gugalanna began to batter the "if" Beast.
[Aaaaaa･･･?]
Were they not allies? Beast II flickered with confusion, but the emotion was quickly swallowed by a void of white noise.
[LAAAAAAAAA!!]
It didn't matter. Her only purpose remained: to silence this land.
She could not form legs; there were too many pests biting at her heels. She would never reach her destination on foot. If the earth refused her, then—
[Aaaaaa!!]
The massive magical energy that had been maintaining her physical volume began to condense, surging toward her horns. The great horns swept upward, shifting into a dorsal exoskeleton... wings.
She would abandon the earth and descend from the heavens. She would crush them all in one final breath.
With a thunderous beat of her newly formed wings, Beast II took to the sky!
The Fall of the Heavenly Bull
["Good! Beast II has taken flight! Phase one is a success!"]
Voices of relief and triumph echoed. No matter how much they battered her, Beast II could not "die." Every strike, every ounce of damage, was merely a tool to incite psychological desperation.
["Yeah, that's great news! I'd love to celebrate, but we've got a problem over here!"]
Gugalanna was in a full-blown frenzy. Its hooves hammered down like a localized apocalypse. Each blow was heavy enough to shatter reality; they couldn't afford to take a direct hit.
["That damn goddess! Can't she keep her own pet under control?! If you can't handle a beast, don't keep one as a pet!"] Angra Mainyu spat, his voice dripping with irritation as he parried the shockwaves.
["This is bad..."]
