Something is egging Grima on, giving him more and more power and control. Ari just sits there, frozen, unable to do anything. Grima feels an unbearable need to kill her.

Grima speaks. "I..am..Grima...I..am..despair...savor your last breath human!" He then plunges the bolt into her abdomen, causing intense pain. He then laughs evilly, watching as the light in her slowly fades into nothing.

Ari is finally released only to scream. She begins to struggle, but it is already to late, and as she tries to fight she slows, and goes limp. The light in her eyes fade to nothing, as she slowly dissolves into darkness, much like Vanitas, but will never be brought back together.

---

At the Guild, where Ventus and Vanitas may be, I suddenly appear, clenching at my heart. I seem like a person thrown into total despair. I am silent for a moment before falling to my knees, screaming. "ARI!"

Grima continues to laugh, enjoying himself as he watches Ari fade into nothing.

Vanitas and I rush over to you. "Creed, what's wrong?!" I ask with a note of alarm in my voice. "Who is Ari? Has something happened to her?" Vanitas asks.

When she finally disappears, Grima feels his power rise more and more, as his next target is chosen. Madison.

I'm shaking on the ground. My soul is spazzing out, zipping around erratically. "MY SISTER, SHE'S DEAD! IT'S RIPPING AT MY SOUL, SOMEONE'S KILLED HER! WHO KILLED HER?!" I scream, though it escapes as no more than a harsh whisper. "ARI! ARI! WHY?!"

Grima grins a monstrous grin, baring his dragon fangs. "Hahahaha....it appears I shall destroy everyone you hold dear, Michael...I think I'll make this one last as long as possible..." Michael yells at Grima in his mind. "Don't you dare touch her! I won't let you!" Grima laughs. "Oh, you don't have a choice, I'm afraid. The best part about this, is that her blood will be on YOUR hands! Hahaha!" He then opens up a dark corridor, pulls on my cowl, and enters the corridor, it closing behind him.

"What?!" Vanitas and I exclaim. "No way...not Ari..." I say. "I'll find whoever did this to her and rip them a new one..." Vanitas says, balling his hand into a fist at his side.

Grima then hears someone speaking in his head. Someone new. "How do you like that power?" The voice asks.

I suddenly jump up, my eyes mirroring borderline insanity. "Madison!" I yell, as if anticipating the attack. I grab you and Vanitas and attempt to transport us, but we are spit back out in the guild hall. Everyone stares at us, shocked at the news and what just happened.

Grima chuckles. "This power...is my own. This is the power of the fell dragon...you've simply added unto mine." A dark corridor then appears at Madison's location as Grima speaks to the new voice.

---

"What about her?!" Vanitas and I both ask. "Creed, what's going on?!" I ask, demanding an answer.

"True enough." The voice concludes and Grima sees he is behind Madison, as she is bent over her desk, working on something.

"Idon'tknowIdon'tknowIdon'tknow!" I yell, gripping my hair tightly as I try to comprehend what's going on.

Grima exits the corridor, it closing behind him. "Hello, Madison.." Grima says in my voice, his eyes gleaming red, the pupils slits like that of a dragon's, but Madison cannot see Michael's eyes due to his cowl. Grima puts a hand behind his back, forming another bolt of energy as he begins to step closer.

Vanitas and I stand there, Vanitas frustrated from not being able to do anything and me very worried about the others.

Madison turns around and instantly Grima is frozen. "I know you aren't you MIchael." She says, her computer on the desk showing the spot where Grima killed Ari. She probably used a mini camera or something to watch. Though at his regular strength he'd be unable to free himself, he feels the power the mystery man gave him well up, giving him the ability to break the spell easily.

I also seem a mix of frustrated, worry, and also sadness. I also seem... a bit mad...

With his left hand, Grima simply moves it, breaking the spell. He then uses his aura to bind Madison very tightly, it wrapping itself around her. "What a pest...I think it's about time I be rid of you...for good." Grima is now using his voice, removing my cowl to reveal his piercing, dragon-like red eyes. Michael is trying to regain control, being able to see and hear everything that is happening. "NO! STOP THIS NOW GRIMA!" He shouts, but Grima ignores him and continues to walk toward her, the bolt still in his right hand.

"Damn it!" Madison yells as she struggles against the aura.

"I can feel it! Her soul is screaming at me! It's yelling at me to save her!" I yell, before grabbing you and Vanitas and once more trying to teleport, this time succeeding as we are teleported to the lab.

Creed teleports in just in time to see Michael prepare to strike Madison with the bolt of energy. "Savor your last breath!" He says, but you know Grima is the one that is speaking. Time itself seems to slow as you, me, Vanitas, and Michael from his point of view watch Grima move to plunge the bolt into Madison's abdomen.

I go to move, only to be hit by some kind of invisible force, nearly tearing me in half and sending me into a wall. "GRAHHH!"

---

"I couldn't stop him, so I had to injure him. Oh well, it'll still happen as long as he doesn't expire. That'd be a real shame." He smiles, as he doesn't really care. It was a small setback.

((I suppose that's the mystery man speaking?)) The bolt connects, causing Madison intense pain. "NOOO!!!!" Michael shouts. When Grima pulls away, tears begin forming at his eyes, them streaking down his face. Vanitas and I are enraged by this, and attempt to charge, summoning our blades.

Madison screams, and I jump up, only to gasp in pain and grasp at my wounded body, losing blood fast. "AAAAAHHH! MICHAEL, PLEASE STOP IT!" She screams, squirming. You're both allowed to approach, but it would be foolish to fight as you sense Grima's power is large. Too large. Fighting him would be suicide.

He removes the bolt and goes to strike again, laughing mercilessly. Vanitas and I watch helplessly, knowing we could die in seconds if we dared fight back. "......" We witness all of it in silence. Tears continue to streak down Grima's face with each blow he gives to Madison.

Every time Grima strikes Madison screams and struggles. Slowly, her movement stills. I am roaring and I let out a final roar as she fades, my eyes widening and my body starts to convulse, making my wound worse. "MADISON! NONONONONO!"
