Carny flew forward like a bullet, his arms outstretched and his claws extended. Legion stopped midway before taking a wild swing which Carny avoided by latching onto the larger demons arm, swinging around it like he was a monkey. Legion let out a snarl just as Carny screeched and sank his serrated black claws into Legion's arm just above his elbow and ripping a large chunk out of it in the process. Legion let out a painfilled howl before falling on top of Carny, using his elbow to keep the smaller demon pinned down.
Legion was bringing his good arm up ready to crush Carny's head with one blow but Carny had other plans. Launching an arm straight up, Carny's thumb found itself buried deep within Legion's right eye and splattering the screaming demon with drops of blood. Again Legion howled, throwing himself back dragging Carny along with as the smaller demon clung to Legion's shoulders. Legion swung his hand wildly around trying to pry Carny off only to have the smaller demon open his jaws and clamp them down around Legion's muscular throat.
Blood exploded into Carny's mouth. Savage demon blood, it was a type of blood that was so hot that blisters instantly formed within Carny's mouth. Yet still Carny sank his jagged teeth in much to the pain of Legion who was now bashing the top of Carny's head with a large stone. The hide on top of Carny's head had long since torn covering his face in a crimson mask as the blood oozed down into his eyes painfully burning them but Carny held no care. Finally his teeth met each other again and Carny pulled back with all his might ripping a literal mouthful out of Legion's neck.
The large demon yowled as his hand went up to his neck, blood seeping through his fingers while Carny spat out the chunk of meat from his jaws. His tongue and lips were swollen with blisters from the heat of Legion's blood, and his vision covered in a red haze though whether it was because of the open wound or because Carny had finally snapped and become a full blown Savage demon wasn't an answer he knew. All he knew was that he needed to kill this monster before him. He didn't know why he had to kill it, was it because it'd done him wrong, or was it simply because it was there? He didn't know nor did Carny care, deep within him he could feel his own blood beginning to boil, a pain that he'd never once experienced nor could compare it to anything else. It made him angry... No this was something far, far beyond anger or hate...he didn't know what it was but it frightened him while fueling whatever feeling this was at the same time.
Carny's whole body began to tremble as a red glow began o resonate from him, though under the light of the red ball in the sky it must've only appeared as a slight aura. The blood that was pooling out from his skull was beginning to steam and Carny could feel himself beginning to crack even more. Somewhere deep down in the slimy rotting recesses of his mind, he could hear a scream. What the scream was he didn't know nor did he care, he just wanted it to stop! His eyes grew so wide now that they threatened to pop right out as the sound of broken glass sounded in his mind and suddenly the scream grew louder and clearer. It wasn't until he reared up on his legs to grab his head did he realize that it was his screaming, he had been the one screaming though why he didn't know.
This monster before him was clearly the cause of it, and for that Carny needed to kill it. And so with another loud bloodcurdling scream Carny dashed forward at the monster, faster than he'd ever moved in his life. The monster took a wild swing at Carny but he might as well had been moving in slow motion for all the good it did him because Carny avoided it easily. He skidded to a halt on the monsters right where it was wide open after taking such a huge swing. Carny's eyes bugged out as he screamed, lunging forward with his left arm sinking his serrated claws into the monsters side. He felt the grinding of his claws brushing bone and Carny closed his hand before ripping his arm as well as three ribs right from the monster's side.
The monster yowled again this time dropping to a knee as it brought down his arm like a hammer. But Carny rolled along the ground until he was directly behind the monster. With a savagery that not even he had known Carny shot both arms forward sinking all ten of his claws into the monster's thighs. Closing his hands Carny ripped his hands free tearing large tendons right from the monster's legs causing it to fall forward on its arms. Carny wasn't done however as he jumped up twisting around in midair before raking his wicked claws all the way along the monster's back. It howled before Carny landed in front of it and with a sadistic laugh he set to work ripping the monsters chest and torso with his claws.

"My god Quinn what did you do?" Roy asked as he held Lauren tightly to his chest to prevent her from seeing Carny literally rip Legion to shreds. He was making a sound that was somewhere between a wail and a laugh, it was chilling them all right to the bone. Roy knew he was going to have nightmares of that sound if he should make it out of here. "I- I've never seen Carny this wild. What the hell did you do to him!"
Quinn was being held up by Rite, his brother student, and looked to be in a serious amount of pain himself. He was holding his head but judging from the purple coloring of his torso he had to have broken ribs. Quinn let out a hiss before he fell to his knees clutching his head before letting out a whimpering sound. "I- I only meant to give Carny his full strength. I didn't know he would be like this-" Quinn let out a cry bringing his other hand to his head much to Rite and Gall's fear. "I'm trying my best to keep him from losing himself completely... but this mind... I've never been inside one so broken. The mind of a Savage demon cannot compare to Carny's
"He feels as though is purpose for existing is gone... I'm not sure how long I can keep him restrained!"
Roy's eyes went wide as did everyone else who was watching Carny rip chunks of meat from Legion's body. That's Carny being restrained? How could something so wildly violent be called restrained? And if Quinn was in physical pain just keeping the rest of Carny's insanity at bay what the hell's going to happen when he can't hold it anymore? That was a thought that Roy didn't even want in his mind because now the question wasn't how do they stop Legion, Carny seemed to be more than able to do that. Now it became a matter of who stopped Carny?
~*~*~*~
Carny let out a sick laugh as he ripped the last of Legion's hide from his chest leaving nothing but an exposed ribcage and sternum. He moved in to tear out the monster's heart only to have it's left arm come around grabbing Carny by the neck crushing his windpipe. Carny let out a strangled gasp as he was powered down to ground crushing the stone beneath them. Legion let out a roar as he brought Carny back above his head and smashing carny down over and over until Carny lashed out with his claws dragging them down Legion's other eye.
The monster let out a scream, not a roar or howl, but a scream as it released Carny and clutched at its eye. Carny meanwhile was rolling on the ground trying and failing to get air back into his lungs. His wheezing must've told Legion where he was because Carny felt a hand wrap around his leg tearing him off the ground despite carny digging in with his claws. Legion now running on his strength alone fought his way up to his feet and began repeatedly cracking Carny's head off of the ground like a child hitting the ground with a toy.
Carny's horns had been snapped long ago by Legion's pummeling but now he felt his skull had actually been cracked but that assault had taken a lot out of him now as he hung limply from Legion's arm. Legion didn't care though as he whipped Carny at the ground several more times this time with the clattering of bits of his own head skittering across the ground. Legion brought his leg up and stomped so hard down onto Carny's gut that spattered the large demon with a coat of blood from Carny's mouth. Digging his heel into Carny's gut Legion brought his leg back up and stomped down again driving him a whole foot into the ground. That's when things went black.
