Though darkness had reigned itself supreme all around me, the continued power of my charged raiton housed within my lightning claws would allow me enough of a visual relevance that my eyes would serve me right. In other words, I could see it coming; I could see it charging. And as the little runt approached with quicker pacing, I could use my blessed vision in order to craft a future in which I and King, and they become my subjects.

"DOWN!"

A few steps back were taken before I resumed a similar motion to before, when I dared challenge the great beast which I suspected had brought this calamity on me. It felt as if my arms crossed and stretched further than ever, beyond normal means and limits, to emphasize the seriousness behind my imminent strike. The lightning would be heard crackling now, the first time any form of noise I produced had actually had a significant impact on the auditory community before us.

My first of my imminent commands...

...now, war turtles, obey me!

The lightning cutters had been released moments before the hulking figure had charged at me and prepared to leap, its unusual frame gathering momentum with each step that it would intend to use against me. But even if the voice of my unnatural opponent continued to allude to the fact it was a child, I would show no mercy in my delivery. This was a battle to the death, for dominance and control; child or not, it had been bred for this violence from long ago.

If I were to let it go, it'd do the same to me. Now, for the final touch.

All ten cutters would met at my aerial opponent's belly, when its body had chosen to catapult itself across the short distance remaining between us in order to end my existence. And when they did, they would light up my victim in a way that I could see its fate; the cutters, countering its thrust in every way, now swept the armored turtle back as they did an excellent job of both slicing and paralyzing it.

"NOW RECOGNIZE ME!!!"

As the light faded I'd lose sight of the turtle, but I knew it had been downed and would not move from there. An uncanny silence reigned now, the essence in the darkness no longer looming nor growling. Had it witnessed the loss of its kin? I would not waste time; if Kuppa did not answer me, then I would make him suffer. My left claw glowed uniquely now, and in a few moment, a ball of pure electricity, around 1 meter in diameter, appeared to be floating freely, in the appendage's faint possession.

"...or lose him"

I wondered if it'd let me proceed...?
