Jaus has cornered the headmaster of the academy because the headmaster was in his room when Jaus barged in.
Headmaster: "What is the meaning of this Jaus!"
Jaus: "You tell me headmaster. Why do you observe me?"
Headmaster: "Umm.... Umm... Not going to tell yo-"
Jaus transforms only his arm into his beast form freezing the headmaster in fear.
Jaus: "Well? REASON?"
Headmaster: "UMM... No reason... No reason at all~"
Jaus: "Do you want to die? Feel the sweet kiss of death? Though not a kiss. A punch."
Headmaster: "Possibly not... Fine i'll tell you... Don't harm the students ok? Because i am 100% sure you will kill me, the teachers and the king afture this if you are a beast... And looking at your arm you are one."
Jaus: "Good. You understand. Now speak!"
Headmaster: "The king wanted to brainwash you! He wanted to make you submit! So if you are going to do something DO NOT harm the students please! They are the future of this kingdom! We can get through the mess of losing our king but not these students!"
Jaus: "I promise. The students won't put up a fight anyways. They will die of shock when I use my rage on them hahahaha!"
Jaus punches the headmaster out of the tower the headmasters room was in and quickly makes his arm go back to his human form.
He then heads over to each of the teachers class where he proceeds to kill them. Jera was walking with Rui and Nil to the next class so she only heard screams and rushed to a teachers class only to find them dead.
The last scream she reached she saw... Jaus. Killing the teacher infront of the students.
Jera: "JAUS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! Are all these screams your doing! EXPLAIN NOW!"
Jaus: "Oh Princess Jera. I am about to kill this person who is assisting the king in trying to brainwash me. I do not like brainwashing a lot. And afture this I will proceed to kill your father, Uic the king."
Jera: "Jaus... What... NO! YOU WILL NOT DO THAT! I WILL STOP YOU!"
Jaus: "And with what world? Nobody on this world can stop me. I will also take you with me if you stay here for too long and I get back here when I am finished with your father."
Jera: "NO! I WILL NOT COME WITH YOU! YOU DAMN MURDERER! I WAS WRONG TO TRUST YOU! YOU... BASTARD!"
Jaus: "Hahaahaha... I never trusted anybody here anyways. I only decided to take up the kings offer to see what he would do. To determine if the humans are still as bad as 700 years ago. Seems they are. Now they shall fear my name."
Jera: "You... What are you... You never gave me an answer... Give it to me now."
Jaus: "I am a beast. I survived your little heroes campaign and now am the last or one of the last Divine Beasts in this world."
Jera: "Divine... We have no chance against you do we..."
Jaus: "Nope. I won't lie you have NO chance. Even with a hero you will have no chance. The only reason your little hero won is because the strongest beast dissapeared. He also took care of the stronger beasts who were a danger to him only leaving medium strength or weak ones."
Jera: "No wonder none of you were really strong..."
Jaus: "Well I guess it's time."
Jaus snaps the neck of the teacher what is squirming in his grip and proceeds to walk towards a wall. When he comes in contact with the wall it breaks and he walks outside. Jaus walks to the gate of the academy and turns into his beast form. The black symbols are there and can now be seen very clearly. Everybody who looked towards Jaus now saw a huge beast.
Jaus then starts charging towards the capital in a beeline. Crushing everything in it's path. No beast, no human, no half-human, no wildlife, no tree,bush or rock was left alone. Everything was crushed in the path of Jaus.
The charge seemed endless. The town's guardsmen saw Jaus charging from a distance away. But it was too late to do anything. They could only inform their captain of a huge beast charging towards their palace before they were killed in his charge.
Jaus charged through the whole town crushing everything. Buildings crushed, humans and half-humans crushed alike under his foot. He charged until he crushed through the doors of the kings palace. The doors fell on 30 guards who were in lines.
The only ones left in that room were the princes and princesses with the queen and king.
They all looked at the huge beast infront of them.
Uic: "What... Is a beast... Doing here?"
Jaus: "Hello Uic. So it seems your little scheme has ended. I found out that you were trying to brainwash me. Hahahaha. No way you can brainwash a beast what can crush this world. It seems I have to teach you a lesson. I won't kill the princesses though. The other kingdoms can have fun with them. The queen will be sold to slavery, for my amusement upcourse."
Uic: "Jaus... So it is you... Slavery? My queen... You cannot beat me even if you are a beast. All the kings in this world are family of the hero! You, a beast, cannot kill us!"
Jaus then proceeds to throw a piece of the door at the king, crushing him. The queen who was next to the king looks at the piece. The princes draw their weapons but then immediatly fall to the ground when Jaus turns his glare to them. Jaus walks towards the princes and steps on them.
Queen: "What are you going to do with Jera... She was with you for so long... Are you going to kill her too or sell her off to slavery or another kingdom?"

Jaus: "I actually have no plan to sell any of you to slavery. For all I care you can just take over the throne and be the real queen and not only in title. Jera... I will take with me. Her personality has grown on me. She is amusing is what I can say. But queen. If you try to come afture me... I WILL. KILL. YOU."
The queen looks like she soiled her underwear when Jaus finished talking. The princesses had soiled their underwear when the door came crashing down and the soldiers dead.
Jaus picks up the youngest princess who is only 7 years old.
Jaus: "You... Hmm. You have potential to help me. Little girl... Don't think of me as a mere beast who lusts for blood and death. All of the beasts don't like blood. I used to be a opportunist and wanted to live with the humans... But in the end I got betrayed.
Little girl... I can only see friendliness in your gaze. You mean no harm to anyone. A perfect example of a pure soul. So forget about your fathers death and move on. Do not let this drag you into depression little girl. As for the rest of you... You are the same but you are already tainted by your father. He wanted all of you to do his bidding didn't he?"
2nd oldest princess: "Yes... He was one of those fathers... But can you please put her down... She doesn't like heights..."
Jaus: "Hahahaha! Fine! I will not harm any more of you. I already killed enough in my charge for now. But if you send armies afture me it would be interesting to crush them! Queen! Tell the other kingdoms about me and tell them to send armies! I want to crush more humans! Upcourse queen... You could swear loyalty to me and serve under me if you wish. I will protect you from harm until you try anything funny like killing me."
Queen: "I will take you up on that offer... My lord?"
Jaus: "Just calling me Jaus is ok. I will now go and get Jera. She should still be mad at me and confused at the same time. But why aren't all of you scared of me now? My mother from ages ago told me that if you go into a human village as a beast they will be too scared and run away and the ones you catch up to somehow kill themselves in an idiotic way."
Queen: "Well... We see that if we don't try to harm you... You won't harm us."
Jaus puts down the youngest one and walks out. He charges back towards the academy. The academy was in a shock. Well the students were. All the teachers were dead and the most responsible students were trying to get control and comfort the others who had seen the teachers die.
When they hear the shock of Jaus running towards them in his beast form they immediatly respond by sending spells at him. They all bounce off destroying even more wildlife. When Jaus stops his charge in the gateway of the academy the students approach him. Jera at the front.
Jera: "Jaus... Why did you come back..? Did you actually kill my entire family...?"
Jaus: "I came back for you Jera. I have taken a liking to you. I also left your female side of your family left. They were originally going to be pure but your male side of your family tainted them with their ideals. The queen and the princesses are alive. They swore loyalty to me and I am technically the overseer of this kingdom now."
Jera: "You came back for me...? You took a liking to me...?"
Suddenly Rui and Nil jump out from the crowd and hug the arms of Jaus because his body is too far in the air.
Rui: "What about us!"
Nil: "Yeah! What about us!"
Jaus: "I like you two too. I won't kill all of the Aristocrats who just tried to attack me... YET."
Jera: "So what are you going to do now... Lord?"
Jaus: "Destroy all the neighboring countries. I told the queen I would protect them right? So now I have to destroy the neighboring countries and then the beast kingdom to make sure this one will be fine. Sounds like fun."
Jera: "You... You are evil... But good... What are you?"
Jaus: "I am who I am. I am chaos I guess? Chaos brings evil but it also brings good."
Jaus then turns to his human form and signals for Jera to come to him. Jera then tries to run towards Jaus but a male aristocrat grabs her.
Aristocrat: "You can't go with that beast! Who knows what he will do to you Princess! He might be lying!"
Jera: "Let me go you insolent fool! I... I am still going with him. If we anger him too much he will kill all of us! I would rather live under his watch than die and risk going to a bad afterlife!"
Aristocrat: "But princess!"
Jaus then screams like an ape in his human form scaring the aristocrats. Jera breaks free and runs to Jaus.
Jaus: "Do we have horses or something here for you girls? It will be a pain to carry you in my human form. Unless you want to ride on my back in my beast form?"
Jera: "Riding on your back doesn't sound bad..."
Rui: "Yeah! Sounds comfy!"
Nil: "Yeah!"
Jaus then turns to his beast form again and lowers his back. Nil climbs on first as she is the tallest and brings Rui and Jera up with her tail. Jaus then starts moving towards the kingdom of Tyar, the kingdom where the 2 million man army came from.
The destination is set. The goal is set. The party is ready. All what is left is the road to travel.
