/////////////////////////////

Taylin emerged from the mist that shrouded her, revealing a black angel carrying an enormous glimmering scythe.

"HEART OF THE HUNTER!" She looks to the side and sees Jatar transforming himself. His armor looks beyond human, with a shoulder cannon mounted on his right shoulder. His muscles began to protrude from his body. Retracting claws, arm scythes, and a special hunter's mask completed his transformation. He gave out an inhuman laugh. Taylin gave a small, yet sinister, smile.

"Impressive. However," She turns her gaze back to Ukaran, while still talking to Jatar. "Since I value your life, jat-kun, I'll warn you now. Stay back." She raises her scythe above her head.

"What do you mean you value my life??" Jatar asked in confusion. Taylin never answered his question. She gave out a battlecry and slashed the air with her scythe, creating black vapors. Ukaran smirks and creates a barrier, but in vain.

"Do not touch the vapors, Jat-kun." She warns him in a low voice. Jatar looks over and sees Ukaran's barrier broken. A grin spreads across his face.

"My turn." He charges up his shoulder cannon, aimed at Ukaran.

"SHOULDER CANNON CHARGE!" A surge of green luminous energy surges from the cannon to hit Ukaran dead on. The cannon manages to knock Jatar back a few feet from his original standing area. Jatar catches his breath after catching himself from the powerful discharge. Taylin looks at him from the corner of his eye.

"Are you alright over there?" Jatar looks at her.

"No problem." Taylin moves her eyes to the unmoving figure on the ground.

"Good." She sensed other beings outside of her party in the forest. "Kogashi, Yosha, take care of the other two." They both nodded in agreement and went off to deal with their other guests.

"We should collect him now." Taylin walked over to Ukaran. Jatar isn't too far behind her.

"I can't wait to collect his skull." Taylin rolled her eyes. She felt a hand on her shoulder and her a sizzling sound. She yanked herself from the hand.

"DON'T EVER TOUCH ME IN THIS FORM!" She glared at Yosha, who was gripping his hand in pain.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" Yosha looked at his injured hand. Taylin lowered her eyes.

"In this form, I am death incarnate. Touching me would cause the Touch of Death."

Kougashi blinked in surprise. "You mean if we touch you we die??"

"Not on the spot, but your lifeforce will be drained away painfully until you have none left. It makes hand-to-hand combat impossible." She turns to Jatar, who is shit kicking Ukaran's body.

"Are you done yet?" Jatar looks up as if he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Yep." He tosses Ukaran into electric net, where it binds him and makes him incapable of movement.

"Good. Have one of the others carry him..." Taylin's eyes seem to be half closed.

"Hmm? Why?" Jatar asked, not noticing her eyes half lidded.

"Because..." she detransforms into her original form, surprising everyone else. "Jat-kun, you're strong, right?" She starts to waver on her feet. Jatar gives her a suspicious look.

"Yes, why?" Taylin drops to her knees.

"Someone...needs...to...catch me..." Taylin falls forward, never hitting the ground. Jatar held her in his arms trying to shake her awake. He detransforms himself.

"TAY-CHAN! Are you alright? Tay-chan?!" He didn't receive an answer even after multiple attempts.

'Hmmm...surely that shouldn't have happened. She's powerful enough to use the Tazthow blade, and that's saying something...' He thinks to himself, as he recalls the day he gave her that blade...

~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~

"What's this?"Taylin looks at the blade Jatar gave to her. It was quite long and had enscriptions written on one side. The hilt had a well detailed dragon on it.

"This is the Tazthow blade. I want you to have it." Jatar gives her a small smile. Taylin looks at him in surprise.

"B-but I can't accept this-"

"Of course you can. I would take it as an insult if you refuse. You need to have great power and a strong will to weild it's true power."

"Alright. I'm sure I can use it someday." Taylin's face glowed with happiness. "I thank you, Jat-kun." He nods in response.

~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~

Jatar is shaken out of his stupor when Taylin begins to stir in his arms.

"Hey she's waking up!" Yosha stated. Kougashi looked around the forest.

"What happened to Kyoki?"

"She probably disappeared. Doesn't matter, Taylin didn't like her too much anyway."

"What happened, Tay-chan?" Taylin rubbed her temple and tried to regain her bearings.

"I'm not used to keeping up that form. I need to meditate more. And...I need more cookies." Jatar gave her a skeptical look.

"No way, that's impossible. The ability to use the Tazthow blade is way more strenuous than even the most exhausting form. I just hope nothing evil happened to you..." Taylin gave him a reassuring smile, which didn't seem to ease his fears.

"Don't worry, Jat-kun. I'll use your great sword soon. I'll be stronger the next time I transform. I usually become stronger after each transformation."

Jatar narrowed his eyes and his face became tense. "No, I'm still worried. You're just too strong...you've used that form before, haven't you?" He saw Taylin's smile fall and replaced with sorrow beyond his comprehension.

"Yes...I don't use it often...not since...that day. Though it's still a blur, I remember..." Taylin wrapped her arms around herself.

"I'm still going to keep an eye on you." he assured her, but to no avail.

"So much blood..."

"Tay-chan..." Jatar felt pity and remorse for her, although he could not understand what truly is going on.

"...everywhere..." Kogashi and Yosha looked on helplessly, not knowing how to help their friend.

"Don't talk about it. We'll figure everything out later, okay?" He helped her to her feet.

"I WILL become stronger. I WILL weild the Tazthow blade! I can't be weak."

Jatar chuckled softly. "I have no doubt that you will weild it, Tay-chan."

"Now...LET'S GET SOME COOKIES!" The others fall over, anime style.

"What's with you and cookies?!" Jatar asked.

"I love them! Now, less talk, more cookies and torture."

"RIGHT!" The others stated.

With a bit of grappling from tree to tree by Jatar, who carried Taylin, and walking by Kogashi, carrying Ukaran, and Yosha with him, the group made it back to their hideout to begin their plans. As soon as Taylin reached the hideout she immediately ran inside. Kogashi and Yosha followed behind.

"COOKIES!" Jatar followed her inside, talking to her.

"...and it also acts like a bungee cord so you'll never fall or misplace your step."

"Hff mfff ohof." Jatar sweatdropped at her eating skills.

"Fof poffmf." She continued to munch on her sweet snack.

"You're...not even...listening to me." Taylin turns to Jatar in surprise.

"Hmm?" He falls over for the second time that day. Taylin looks at Jatar, then at the cookie in her hand, and back at Jatar.

"Cookie?" She extends a cookie for him to take.

"Unbelievable." He takes the cookie and bites into it. "YUM!"

"So where should we put the cargo? We need alot of space."

Jatar tapped his finger against his chin. "Hmm...there's the prison, dungeon, and torture chamber. Oh, can't forget the iron maiden." He smirks.

"Alrighty, how about this: you put him whereever you want, and I'll go meditate. I need to be able to use my form for longer periods of time.

"Bluh??" He looks at her with confusion. "I thought you were going to help with the torture?"

"I will, don't worry. Don't you trust me?" Taylin gave him an innocent smile, which he knew was decieving. He gave her a smirk.

"Of course I do."

"Good." she sits in her standing spot and crossed her legs. "Let me know when you're done."

"Right." He glares at the still unconcious Ukaran. "You heard the girl. Let's go." He leads the rest of the group to the dungeon, where they secure Ukaran to a wall with chains.

"Stay here and watch him. I'll go check on Tay-chan." Kogashi and Yosha nodded. As Jatar walks up to where he left Taylin, he is greeted by something unusual. As Taylin meditated, a black mist surrounded her, then dissapated.

"...." Jatar stares in disbelief, but was more surprised at what happened next. Taylin appeared in a white form, similar to her death form.

'She looks so peaceful...and beautiful.' He thought to himself. It didn't last long before she turned into her original form and opens one eye.

"Everything ready?"

"Did you just see that?" Taylin looked up at Jatar in confusion.

"See what?"

"What you just did?"

"...no. Should I have seen something?" She munches on another cookie, wondering what he was talking about.

"I saw smoke around you and-"

"Oh that? That's normal." She stated, cutting him off. Jatar shook his head.

"No no, you didn't take on you're usual form. You appeared in black, like in your death form, but then you appeared in white. But then it faded again, and you went back to your original state." He explained. Taylin stood from her spot.

"White, you say?"

"Yeah." Taylin looks at Jatar, then downcasts her eyes.

"I was told that when I was younger, I wasn't death incarnate, but life incarnate."

"That could have been your former form." he summed up.

"But that was before..." She trailed off, staring out of a window. Jatar stepped closer to her.

"Before what?" Taylin looked at Jatar with sad eyes. He was beginning to regret asking that question.

"It's such a blur, but I know I've slaughtered so many..." Jatar places a hand on her shoulder.

"Maybe you were possesed by something." Taylin shook her head.

"I doubt that. I know I was meant to become this form...my final form. Wh-when their blood touched my skin..." Taylin shudders at the bits of memories that played before her eyes. Jatar gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze.

'Tay-chan...' Jatar's sympathy for his friend went out for her.

"Then why did you become white then?"

"I don't know. Maybe it was triggered by my meditations. I relive things in my meditations. They help me become stronger. Maybe my life form merged with my death form."

"I still don't know what brought on the change in you, from darkness to light." Jatar's voice was coated with worry.

"Don't fret too much, Jat-kun. I'm sure things will get clear soon." She gave him a small smile.

'Always smiling...' "I'm just worried that you'll get hurt or something might happen to you."

"Don't worry, just lead the way." Jatar looks at her uneasily.

'I hope you're right.'
