The footsteps suddenly stopped and it was quiet again before the door to the basement shattered open. Masamune grabbed onto the doorframe, his arms up to his elbows covered in sort of heavy scales and claws, the bottom jaw of a reptile lining his jawline. His legs up to his knees were also covered in these scales, all the same blue as his bikaku, which became jagged and fat.
"There you are~ I finally found you~ you can't get away from my love now, Megohime~" Masamune had his eyes on her, as if Akima wasn't even in the room. He was covered in blood, and none of it his own.
