Inner Demon Sada's POV 🔪

Unconscious.

That was the first and only word in my mind right now.

For what felt like a few hours, I was unconscious.

When I finally woke up, I sat up and groaned a little in pain from the dull ache I was feeling at the back and the side of my head, before reaching over and massaging those spots gently with my hand.

"Urgh...My head hurts...What the hell happened?" I asked myself as I looked around for a moment, while resting my back up against a wall that was near me.

For a bit, I was dazed, trying to recall what I remembered for a moment.

Until a memory struck me.

All of what just happened to me...It was because I got jumped by that Kira girl.

Just by remembering that, it infuriated me.

"That bastard..." I snarled as I got up to my feet, while I staggered a little as I held my head in pain.

"It's all because of her interference, that my plans keep getting ruined!

Oh. But, no worries though...I've already thought up a better one this time, that'll teach her a very harsh lesson."

After saying that, I grinned sinisterly before exiting out of the building.

- - -

Once I stepped out, I glanced over at the tera crystals that were near me and walked over to them.

Just by looking at them, the beauty of those crystals still never fails to amaze me.

How they shine so brightly and emit different colors of the rainbow, in the cavern parts at the very bottom of Area Zero.

It was definitely a breathtaking sight for anyone to see.

But, now's not the time for that.

"If those two wanna play rough, then I'll play rough as well..." I began as I lifted my left hand up before striking the tera crystal hard and deeply enough to where it got inside the crystal completely.

Then I clenched my hand into a fist and yanked it out, revealing that it had become completely terastallized.

"...with my terastallized hand!"

On cue, the fingernails on my hand immediately became razor sharp talons, with the tera crystals combined and mixed in with them.

After doing that, I left and started heading off in the direction of the main lab, searching for the girls, since I assumed they ran off over there.

"I swear I'll make that Kira girl regret for ever coming across and meeting me...
And the same goes for Sada too, only hers is a different reason." I vowed, before approaching the lab and looking up at it.

Then I entered into the building after hacking the system, so I could not only gain access to enter it, but to enter the other rooms in there as well.

- - -

After I got jumped by both her and Sada numerous times when I entered in the building, the first thing I did when they fled again, was pull off the same stunt that Kira had done to me...

Which was climbing and getting in the air vents that are up on the ceiling.

"That bitch may think she's being really super slick on climbing up and jumping me from here...

Unfortunately for her, she doesn't know I start to learn from this." I muttered to myself.

Afterwards, I started crawling around, listening in very intently for any single noise that's made in any of the rooms underneath me.

Every once in a while, I would move a ceiling tile aside a little bit, just enough for me to peek out and see if they were hiding in one of the rooms underneath me.

And if they weren't in the room, I would just return the tile back to it's place and keep on going forward.

"If only those two had picked to do things the easy way, it wouldn't be such a huge pain in the ass for me.

I would've gotten this shit done and over with quickly too, instead of wasting my time looking for them." I thought to myself in annoyance.

Almost on cue, I suddenly heard something from below, making me stop and move a tile aside a little before peeking out and seeing the girls I was looking for, in a room right underneath me.

"Heh...Looks like this little game's ended for now." I silently went before chuckling wickedly.

Already having a plan in mind, I looked at the room for a good solid few minutes before crawling away from the tile and over towards the direction of the door.

When I got out, I was in the hallway and in front of the closed door of that room.

Turning to face the door, I knocked on it loudly for a few seconds before quickly leaping up and climbing back in the ceiling air vent and closing off the tile I just came out of.

As soon I heard footsteps approaching, I crawled rapidly over to the tile that I still haven't covered up and peeked out, seeing both my other self and Kira's backs turned away from me.

Without hesitating, I immediately jumped down into the room from that spot, startling the both of them as they quickly turned to look at me, until I looked up.

"Found you both!" I only said next before chasing after them as they immediately started to run out of the room.

While running down the hall, I extended out my left hand and terastallized it by my will.

"How about I give you both a taste of something that I just recently thought up earlier?" I went, before grinning wickedly.

Then I swung my hand down, slashing at Kira's back, and making her fall as she screamed in pain.

"KIRA!" My other self yelled in alarm.

"S-Sada!" Kira cried out as she had her hand outstretched towards her.

In response, she ran over and helped Kira sit up a little, while a pained groan was heard.

In sync to that moment, tera crystals appeared from inside Kira's wounds that I just recently gave her.

Smirking, I just stood there and watched the scene unfold in front of me next.

Sada's POV 🍊

"Kira, what's going on?!" I asked, feeling worried sick about her.

"H-Huh? W-What do you mean??" She went, both out of confusion and in pain.

"The injuries on your back! They're covered in tera crystals, not just blood!"

"Wait...Wh-What?! That's i-impossible! Humans can't terastallize and I don't think inner demons can too! Only pokémon can!" Kira went, as she was shocked and in disbelief, before wincing in pain.

"MONSTER! What the hell did you do to her?!?!" I screamed at my inner demon angrily, as tears began appearing in my eyes and running down to the sides of my face.

Without saying anything, she chuckled sinisterly before she began slowly walking over a little until she stopped in her tracks for a moment.

"I suppose it's time for me to tell the both of you fools a little bit about my very recent creation..." My inner demon began as she grinned, just enough for us to see both of her longer canine fangs.

Then she removed her hand from the pocket of her right, torn lab coat and extended it out to us, so we could see her hand a lot more better and clearer.

"Sada...Her hand..." Kira began as she weakly reached over and adjusted her glasses a little for a moment, before looking at me, while her body shook in pain.

"Yeah, I noticed it too...It's terastallized." I finished for her, as I looked at my inner demon's hand.

"Bravo! Fantastico! You figured that out so easily!" My inner demon responded as she started clapping both of her hands for a few seconds before she stopped.

"Sarcasm aside, of course it's obvious for you two both to figure this out...

So, yes, I've indeed not only terastallized my hand, but, I've also weaponized it too. All thanks to the Tera crystals down here, deep in Area Zero and Zero Lab, really...

As for the name of this, I suppose 'Tera Talons' would be a very fitting one for it...
Wouldn't you agree?"

"How is this possible?! You're - " I began before suddenly getting cut off by my inner demon.

"I already figured you were gonna ask, so, I'll cut to the chase...In this world, I'm capable of manipulating tera crystals.

Not just that, but possessing you and that Kira girl too. Just like a ghost pokémon with humans or objects alike." My inner demon explains.

"In reality, it's a whole new different story...But, I'll leave that part up to your heads."

After she finished, I had nothing to say as I just stared at her, until I felt Kira tug on my lab coat sleeve a little.

"Sada? Please, get my hair clip...There's more to it...than you think there is..." She mentions, while looking back at me.

Without asking what she meant by that, I took it off of Kira's hair and gave it to her.

"Thanks..." She says as she took it and began to do something with it for a few seconds.

Just as she was done, the petals on her hair clip suddenly glowed bright pink, before it changed form, taking the shape that looks similar to a Rotom phone that we all know.

"Here..." Kira went as she gave it back to me. "Lift it up to your inner demon's terastallized hand...It'll automatically scan it for you rapidly...from a distance."

"Since how long has your hair clip been like this?!" I asked, feeling stunned at this point.

"When we were still academy students..." She answered simply, before carefully sitting herself up as she grunted a little, while she endured the pain that was still circulating through her body.

"Director Clavell gave me permission and helped me out in making it, during that time.

I call it a 'Biodex'...It can scan anything and anyone that's...going on with their bodies. Be they an inner demon like yours...or someone like us.

Think of it like a pokédex, but biology related and meant to be used on humans, inner demons, and even AIs all alike..."

"Do you really think that 'Biodex' thing of yours will gather data and give you more information on me, Kira? Don't make me laugh..." My inner demon snarled as she looked at her, after Kira was done explaining.

"It'll only waste your time even more, that you still have left, until the nasty part of the injury I gave you, kicks in and starts to take effect."

With nothing to say, I ignored what my inner demon just said to her and lifted up the Biodex, before it immediately scanned both her and her terastallized hand without any problems.

"Identification complete and data registered..." A voice was heard from the Biodex.

Then it pulled up the information on the screen next.

"Inner Demon: Sada

Capability: Self Terastallization, Manipulation, Possession

Entry: Because ID Sada was feeding off of the original Sada's darkest emotions, it made her capable to terastallize her hand allowing her to change it into any form to her desire and willpower, by deciding whenever or not the crystals can be used as either a weapon or a part of her body.

Danger Level: 7 stars. She is extremely dangerous! Avoid with heavy caution at all costs!"

After reading this, I felt my face pale a little as I looked back up at my inner demon, while I returned the Biodex to Kira.

"Looks like I don't need to say more about my Tera Talons after all..." My inner demon went as she just grinned like a psycho, while her body twitched a little violently.

Then without any warning, she suddenly came after Kira in an attempt to strike her again, but I thought different.

Not wanting to allow it, I immediately got in the way to shield Kira and took the blow instead, feeling my body getting impaled by my inner demon's terastallized hand.

Unfortunately, that didn't stop her blow from reaching Kira.

Feeling my body shaking in pain too, I glanced over, seeing Kira looking back at me in the eyes, before I quickly looked away and started coughing up blood violently.

"Sada...You shouldn't have - " She began as tears appeared in her eyes, until I interrupted her.

"S-Sorry...Kira...I tried to protect you..." I only said as tears started appearing in my eyes too.

"I didn't want you...to suffer this anymore.. longer...than what you're already...going through right now..."

In response, Kira started crying after she looked away from me for a moment and coughed hard.

"Even though...you're a genius, you're still...a bit of an idiot...when you make such...reckless decisions...like this, you jerk!" She said tearfully.

"I know..." I only responded as I felt tears running down to the sides of my face.

"I'm so...sorry..."

Without even uttering anything out next, I weakly reached over and held Kira's hand, lacing my fingers between hers, before squeezing it gently, while I felt the tera crystals spreading throughout her body from the injury.

Then Kira closed her eyes and stopped breathing as her body went limp.

Just right after Kira did, the same happened to me too, before everything faded to black, ending the dream for the night.
