Zed looked toward the origami crane, a sound of disapproval escaping his lips, "You are to replicate yourself, not your origami." Zed growled at her, his piercing gaze turning to her from the crane, "Try again. This time, replicate yourself." He had shown her the basics of doing it before, though it would seem she was incapable of succeeding in this task... She would learn it in the end... Even if it kills her.
Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes. Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia flows.
"I CAN'T!" Sky snapped with growing agitation at being forced to do something beyond her abilities. The origami shadow disappeared in a quick mist. "I can't fucking do this shit. I'm not a god damn Shadow Ninja! I'm a FUCKING PIRATE!"
As she stood, she felt a dizzying sense come over her causing her to rock slightly before quickly shaking her head. The wound was bad.. She needed to heal it soon or she'd be in a lot of trouble.

Immediately Zed appeared before Sky, his eyes boring into hers, "You will not speak to me like that again." He holds up his blade allowing it to glint in the light, "I will not hesitate to end you. Do not tempt me, girl. You are no longer a pirate. You are not free. You are merely someone of possible use that can be easily discarded."
Zed looked at her wound, "If you want it healed, you will do what I say. Understood?"
Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes. Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia flows.
"I can't! Go BONE your boyfriend, fucking piece of shit!" She snarled in response, feeling herself reaching a breaking point. She had done all she could to tolerate the torment of being weighted down. Her freedom taken away. As she hissed, her features became more feral with wings springing from her back wildly. Her eyes took on a more feral look, glittered with golden speckles as claws formed from her fingers and a tail appeared behind her.
"I will always be a pir--"
Thump... thump.. beat... beat.. rapidly gaining in speed. The world became a dizzying place as her eyes widened, her pupils grew large and the world rapidly turned a shade of blood red. She let out a frantic scream as she held her head, bowing down in front of Zed as her body quaked and her mind swarmed with agonizing frenzy.
Without warning, her body began to quickly change into that of a beast. Fur sprung from her skin as her form grew larger and more bulky. Massive wings shifted down with the change of her back, her face warping into a maw and massive teeth as paws dug against the dirt. She had become a monster. An uncontrolled, frenzying beast with no regard for ally or foe. The bloodlust of her mighty gryphon form sent her roaring.
Surely this would at the very least startle Zed. This was nothing he'd seen of her before. Though he knew of her partial form, he knew not of the full one or the power behind it.

At her initial response Zed simply relaxed his body, he was preparing to end her life right then and there. It was blatantly clear by that response she would never fulfill any usefulness she may have had. That is until her face warped into the a more animistic sneer, the wings growing from her back caused Zed to take a step back, confused as to what was happening. As far as he knew, she could not transform without the stone. Swain had it... Was the Master Tactician attempting to betray him? What good would that serve?
Zed crouched low, wiping the thoughts from his mind, startled morbid curiosity was the only thing stopping him from striking her down as she transformed, could this form be exploited? When it seemed she had finished transforming Zed snapped out of the confused state, still not entirely sure what had just happened. Readying his blades he dashes in fast and low in an attempt as slitting the beasts throat to bring it down quickly.

The gryphon snarled as he dashed in, it's meaty body proving far, far more capable of taking damage then her smaller, much weaker form. He would slice, but the beast reared back causing him to leave a gash across her chest. An angered cry hit the forest around them before the gryphon took to the air, circling like a predator waiting to strike.

Zed's form held its blades at the ready as it looked up to the beast in the sky as it circled around him. Drawing an arm back, black shadows begin to manifest in the shape of a large shurikin within his hand. He throws it with precision, the shurikin slicing through the air nearly naked to the invisible eye as it cut toward the gryphon's wings in an attempt to clip them.

The beast was large, which also meant it didn't move nearly as fast as her normal form would. The shurikin sliced with ease, causing her to begin flying awkwardly through the air, tumbling as she tried to maintain her height and distance. Seeing that she wouldn't, instinct kicked in sending her descending rapidly towards Zed fully intending to shred his body with her claws and clamp her massive maw around his head. Nothing about the motion suggested she was holding back. She wanted him dead, and in her frenzied state it didn't seem anything would stop her.

The image of Zed quickly split into two, one remained where it was, crouched and poised ready to try defend against the incoming gryphon. The other flitted through the shadows of the trees looking like nothing more than a blur as it kicked off the ground into the trees disappearing from view. It quickly positioned itself, ready to leap from it's position should an opening arise. The clone in the clearing was no more than a decoy to lure the beast closer to the clearing, so far it seemed to be working rather well. Zed crouched in the trees, his blades drawn and ready to strike.
The figures split, and one would vanish from her view.. At least to her. She focused on the clone, oblivious to the obvious as her claws would rip into its shadowy flesh and her maw would snap down to sever its head from its body. If it had entrails, they would be spilled across the ground and the beast would be tearing his organs from his stomach before latching onto his heart and eating it. However it was nothing more than a clone, and the hunger that welled within the frenzied gryphon would fail to be sated.

Zed watched for a mere moment as his clone was torn limb from limb by the savage beast. With a powerful kick Zed propels himself from the shadows, his arm blades outstretched before him ready to impale the beast's thick hide and secure him a place upon the Gryphon's back since it was now distracted by the decoy clone. He feels his blades sink in, not deep enough to inflict serious injury. Much to Zed's disappointment. But it was enough that he wouldn't be thrown off right away should the beast try buck him off.

The gryphon let out an ear shattering roar as she felt the blades pierce her thick fur and hook into her. She went back into the air as she tried to shake him off, making sharp turns, diving and even trying to rip him off her back by ramming into trees hoping it might remove him. The longer he remained, the more frantic the beast became as she struggled to get him off. Her flying was unbalanced by the earlier clip against her wing, making it all the more unstable and unpredictable.

Zed hadn't expected the gryphon to take off again, he growls tearing out one blade and grabbing a tight grip on one wing with the hand. he had to either kill or cripple the beast, there. Gritting his teeth as he struggled to keep his hold on the creature he tears out his other blade sending a shower of blood across the beasts back staining its fur crimson. Now with a grip on both wings he was stopping them from beating, they were about twenty feet in the air by now. With a grunt he placed his foot in between her shoulder blades and lent back as they descended toward the ground. The sound of skin tearing could be hear as Zed pulled with near inhuman strength, his foot applying pressure to the beasts back in order to add more force.
The thick skin ripped apart sending blood gushing from the exposed flesh, as the Master of Shadows continued to pull upon the wings, soon the muscles tore exposing the white of the bone through the ragged torn skin and blood. Tendons snapping sounded like gun shots as the bone clicked loudly as it was ripped from its sockets.

The gryphon kept on bucking and trying desperately to get the Shadow Master off of her back, but as one wing was gripped the flying grew ever more awkward and difficult. The wound from earlier through her shoulder was beginning to severely hinder her as well, but thankfully that had stopped bleeding by this point.
She snarled as the second wing was grabbed hold of, feeling blood soaking across her back like wet rain spilling over the land, leaving pools to shower down beneath their position. Then that horrible sensation of pressure as they descending slowly at first but with increasing speed. That awful, uncomfortable sensation of the joint on her wings dislocating, then the continued pull as the gryphon let out a horrified cry. Skin ripped at first, forcing the creature to desperately try to get him off of her all the more, then muscle, tendons, veins, and the dangerously thick arteries that linked into the wings. As the final pieces of flesh tore, spilling blood furiously from the deep wounds, Sky cried out loud enough to echo across the landscape, seizing the entirety of the Order's territory in one long, haunting scream of pain... and then.. Silence.
Her body started to change back almost instantly as she raced for the ground, feeling her consciousness slipping in and out and the ground racing up to meet her. She was severely wounded. In awful shape. Bleeding out as she struck the ground, knocking the wind out of her instantly upon impact.
Gasping, Sky clenched to the ground, trying to crawl in a dizzied state, unable to comprehend what was happening around her.

Zed kicked off as they plummeted to the ground, only adding to the impact that would knock the wind from her lungs. He landed with near perfect technique as he landed in a crouch, both massive gryphon wings still clutched in either hand. He was surprised as small cracked webs of light snaked out across the ragged torn skin and spread out across the fur. Zed dropped the wings, unsure as to what was going on, raising an eyebrow as they began evaporating into small particles of light and slowly floated toward the girl as she lay bleeding out upon the ground.
This was her final chance, he thought to himself as he moved in front of her. Zed knelt down and grabbed her chin forcing her to look him in his crimson burning eye as he spoke, "Will you finally listen to me now. Or shall I leave you here to die?"
