Heizen - The Jackal Demon

"So the time has come," Malokai murmured on his throne, his purple eyes gazing down at the Jackal Demon with fires of disgust. "Yes," Heizen replied coolly with a glare of his own stirring hatred. "I am to be your slave no longer, Malokai. I challenge you for the right to rule this clan." Malokai's ears perked at the mention of the challenge, listening quietly to Heizen's claim. He let out a dark, low-toned chuckle that resonated across the room. With it many more chuckles were had as the lowly servants who followed him echoed his laughter back to him. Together they all chuckled at Heizen from both sides, stirring the demon's anger even further. Those who laughed would soon pay for it. "Will you not fight me, coward!?" he roared towards his former master. For years Heizen had awaited this moment. He had endured for so long to gather his strength, gain the power to free himself from this shadow. He would not be denied his chance. He had issued the challenge, and it was time for Malokai to fight him.


The laughter stopped in accordance with Heizen's mighty roar, Malokai's expression reverting back to a stoic, serious expression. "Very well, Heizen. Today is the day you die," he declared whilst he began to stand. The Clan Leader stood, his large seven-foot figure towering over even Heizen himself, as he looked down on the Jackal Demon. Unlike Heizen, Malokai had the appearance of a true demon. His red skin, pointy ears, and large black wings were mostly all standard signs of a demon of the Demon Realm. The inhabitants of the Earth Realm had long heralded his kind in their fables as true demons in their fairy tales, for they were the ones who had been so commonly seen by man. Though this did not make him a Demon Lord, Malokai was still respected by many in the Demon Realm. Not for his power (for Heizen knew the truth- that Malokai was lacking) but for his cunning and his status as a "true demon".

Heizen resented this. His own kind had been ignored for centuries for being different. Their appearance resembled animals rather than demons in the eyes of the realm, and for their failure so long ago they had been ridiculed for it. Heizen would rectify that. He would claim back his ancestor's status. He would start his conquest with this "noble" demon by grinding him into dust. Charging his dark blue aura - Heizen released a loud howl as his battle cry, the Jackal beginning to power up at last. The Jackal Demon's roar echoed across the room and beyond, as he tapped into the inner reservoirs of strength he had been denying for so long. Years of slavery to Malokai had resulted in many years of fighting on his behalf. He had defended the clan from opposition ever since he was a child, and from it he had grown stronger and wiser as a fighter with every challenge.

Today was his day. Malokai looked out over him and began to charge up his own power, his red aura shimmering across his body and outward as he began to tap into the strength that had made him the leader of this lowly clan. The two began to fly out into the sky of the demon realm as their great battle was to begin. Though neither was aware - this contest was going to be difficult as the two were on virtually the same level. This contest would test not only their strength, but their skills as fighters. They stared for a moment into the others eyes, desperately trying to search for some semblance of weakness. But with none to be found, the battle would begin. Heizen charged at full speed with his left fist tightened, as he fully extended his arm for a powerful punch to the face. Malokai however countered the punch by curling his arm and absorbing the impact with his forearm as a soft shockwave resonated from the colliding force.

Following up with a left hook Malokai sought to collide his fist with Heizen's cheek - forcing the demon to evade by descending in the air. The Red Demon murmured to himself in response. Perhaps he finally realized this wasn't going to be easy for him. Heizen could only smirk confidently as he was proving himself to be a worthy challenger. Malokai flew towards him at full speed, going on the offensive delivering a flurry of punching attacks in rapid succession, but Heizen simply flew backward from side to side as he began to dodge each and every attack. Heizen was a big fellow like Malokai, but he was also quick on his feet while the red demon had focused only on his strength. Eventually getting frustrated: Malokai launched a wide hook attack that Heizen easily dodged due to its predicability before countering with an elbow to the stomach and a roundhouse kick to the ribs that sent Malokai flying back a few paces. Heizen chimed out in response to getting first blood, "Pay attention, my old master. For this is only the beginning." That was the declaration Heizen made. "Do not let your luck blind you, child. You have proven yourself capable, but the outcome has already been determined," Malokai retorted. The two then charged towards each other as the clash truly began.

As they both extended an arm, they both collided at full might their respective forces creating another shockwave. Heizen followed up with a hook punch with his opposite arm, but he found himself evaded and countered. Malokai had ducked and launched an uppercut which collided straight into the Jackal Demon's jaw. The force of the harsh attack sent him flying upward in the air. Grinning, Malokai flew after him: the Red Demon swiftly caught up with him and even passed him. Interlocking his fingers in a tight clasp, the Red Demon sledgehammered Heizen's back knocking him down towards the ground. The Jackal Demon surprised by the attack found himself crashing down below creating a small crater, as the ache of the impact coursed his body over. It was a good attack, but nothing he couldn't shrug off. Getting back up Heizen continued the fight.

Heizen charged again flying toward his master while extending an arm, a dark blue energy wave firing from him to rush out and attack. The beam traveled quickly across the closing distance, and with little time to react the Red Demon crossed his arms to absorb the impact of the small but sufficient energy attack. The attack seemed to damage him somewhat, the Red Demon having bruises covering his body. Damaging his captor gave the Jackal some level of satisfaction. However by using that attack he found himself partially winded, the Jackal panting in slight as he tried to gather his breath once more. He reminded himself that he needed to pace himself for this fight. Rushing towards Malokai the Jackal Demon began his own charge: launching a barrage of jab attacks at the Red Demon's head with ferocious might. On the defensive - Malokai began evasive maneuvering as he cocked his head from side to side in an attempt to avoid begin hit by the subsequent combo of attacks.

With Heizen putting on the pressure however and following-up with a rising knee to the stomach - his old master groaned in response to the harsh impact. His master clutching his stomach in pain Heizen finally landed that heavy right hook to the face, sending his master flying outward toward a nearby mountain. The force of the impact broke the foundation of the giant rock, causing it to crumble down onto the floor below (his master along with it). It was starting to look like Malokai was fighting an uphill battle at this point, as he was losing spectacularly. Silence filled the air as the Jackal lie in wait - knowing in his heart that the end was not yet here. He prepped himself for his master to come out at any moment to continue the attack. However from the rubble was a mighty roar, as energy surged outward to push back the rocks that had piled onto the Red Demon with explosive force. A bright red light surged throughout the Demon's body in greater mass, as he had channeled the dark demon energy within. Heizen was surprised he would resort to that so soon in the fight however. Was he scared?

"I will not lose to you, filthy dog. You will bow before my boot, tremble before my feet! Witness my true power, you wretched fool!" he cried with that low-toned yet vibrant howl. "I am your slave no longer. If you're in such a hurry to die - then we shall bring the game to its conclusion!" he sneered in reply. His own dark blue aura also glistened and grew, as he channeled his Demon Heart from within raising his power to its maximum. With both of their auras charged the next round was to begin. Releasing his ki in a explosive surge Malokai shouted as with rage. Heizen quickly evaded it, using his quick maneuvering technique to escape the blasts range. The rocks began to crumble beneath them and rise up in the air as the two energies surged outward for all the demons in the lowly clan to see. The two continued their fisticuffs as Malokai and him went blow for blow.

As Heizen went for the elbow for the face, Malokai countered with a knee to the gut. When Malokai tried to follow up with the right hook, Heizen headbutted his old master. When the Jackal went for the follow-up roundhouse kick: his master caught the leg and dragged him toward him and followed up with a hook right across the face. Holding the Jackal in place his master would continue to barrage him with punches to the face, over and over, as the demon lay trapped once more. Feeling his strength begin to diminish Heizen resisted, his dark blue aura surging as he released an explosive charge of energy pushing back Malokai into the wall of yet another rock (though this time only at the surface). Panting the Jackal was unsure for how long he could keep this up. They were mostly even at this point, now with the advantage in his master's favor.


Heizen rushed towards Malokai with fierce determination. With his aura shining he went for his own melee combo style- Jackal's Wrath. Catching his master by surprise Heizen launched a powerful swipe to his master's face, following up with a knee to the stomach and a finishing hook with the opposite hand. Though it did damage him, he was returned in kind with his master's Zanku Fist: Malokai lifting up his leg and extending the knee for a frontal kick to the stomach, followed with a roundhouse kick to the ribs and and secondary side kick knocking him back. This contest raged on for hours as they two continuously traded blow for blow. They were both bloody and bruised, with most of their energy depleted. Malokai's anger had risen to its maximum. He could feel his rage overcoming him. Charging energy in his hands while rising in the air, Malokai prepared to finish this battle once and for all. 

"Now I will erase you from this world! Devil's Execution!" he shouted as he fired his beam attack: a black wave fired from both of his hands.


"This is my claim to freedom! Goodbye, Malokai! Super Hellzone Wave!" Heizen yelled back as both of his hands began to charge dark blue energy waves in his hands. Firing both of them at once - the beams merged and collided right into Malokai's Devil's Execution. As the two beams collided both fighters felt themselves being pushed back by the other. It truly was a fight to the finish with the most close results. "This is it!" he cried as the beam exerted its pressure towards Heizen. If this beam hit he was dead. He knew this. "No! This is not where my story ends! I will never lo-ose!" he cried out as all of his energy suddenly flushed out of him- going towards his captor, his oppressor, his former master once and for all. The overwhelming release of energy terminated the demon to the last cell. With all of his energy gone Heizen fell - unable to even sustain flight as he collided straight into the ground. 


The demons of the primitive, weak clan all gathered around. Though they did not approve of his appearance - they respected his strength. He had won. He was to lead them now. No longer the slave, now the base of the head. And there was still more to come.
