"Are you Kayana Sahanaya Tirta?"

Lastier asked with his usual smile and eyes closed, the Indonesian was approaching him with his fingers folded together and standing with his wife Alda as the other Executive Officers of Trilaksana Organization held a meeting with him. Kaname folded his arms, looking at his rival's best friend as he stood beside Hifumi, Luca, Kayla, Aliyah and lastly Hokuri who was the lecturer of Kohaku. Kohaku nodded, even though he met Alda before since she was the first person he met in the organization--he never encountered him before. "Yes, that's me sir," Kohaku replied, hoping that he didn't get the wrong impression of him. He was examining the Director of Indonesian State Secret Service's appearance from head to toe, he couldn't believe he was this tall and mysterious.

Kohaku could feel some kind of mysterious power emanating from him, it's like the man is wearing a mask to conceal his darker side. With his smile and eyes closed, he can't predict what could happen from this man. Kohaku wasn't sure if he can trust him or not, and he was wondering why he didn't want to open his eyes. "I was surprised to see you for the first time, my wife told me about you recently. It seems like you're a perfect catalyst to stop this lunatic, William Pranaja."

Lastier spoke with a sincere smile, though his eyes are still closed--there's something that made Kohaku feels suspicious about him. "I know, I'm late in responding, but I'm here now," Kohaku said, trying to convince the husband of the Executive Director of Trilaksana Organization. "I'll stop him, sir. I promise."

"I trust your words, Kayana Sahanaya Tirta. Although, I'm still curious why you used a false name for your identity," he added, turning his body towards Hokuri. Alda smiled as she asked him, clasping her hands. "Hokuri, why didn't you tell us about this?"

He blinked, before he sighed. "Ah, I'm sorry... my student prefer to keep his identity anonymous, you know we shouldn't mix politics and science together in the first place," Hokuri explained with sheepish smile, scratching the back of his head. "I just didn't want people to look at him with suspicion, especially the government. I mean, he's a university student after all. Like come on, why the fuck did the World Government always look at him like he's a criminal?!"

"Sir... I know this sounds weird but can you let me go to the Natuna Islands? I need to find him before it's too late."

Kohaku pleaded, making him nod without any more talk. "Yes, the team is already assigned to the search mission... and found William's hideout and this is where the location is," he said, making him wondered if he meant he got information about their team; but decided not to ask them to disclose the source. "I understand, Kayana Sahanaya Tirta. Your superior and I had a negotiation last week, it was Secret Garden wasn't it? We're going to deal with the evacuation and Phantom Beasts, and I'm sure you can handle this with your team."

Kohaku nodded, before glancing at his team behind him. "Yes, I'll handle it, sir."

"One more thing, can you go to the other island instead of the Natuna? That's where the laboratory is," Alda asked, pointing the island where they're going to on the map. "We need some files of William's experiment, he's not going to hide in the Natuna because of obvious reasons. This is a good chance for you to escape from the evacuation, so we can cover for your identity. Don't let the Indonesian special forces to know that you're in Jakarta, they'll ask you a lot of questions. Just pretend that you're a foreigner, since we don't want your identity exposed. I don't want anyone to know about your involvement, since your life is at risk."

"Sir… do I look like I'm a foreigner?" Kohaku argued, making the two adults laugh at him. Really? This is what he got? The fuck? Kohaku rolled his eyes, if they're really sure about it; then he'll listen to them. He obviously hates doing undercover mission, not because he don't want to or whatever--but because he really hates wearing a wig and contacts. "Just keep the secret, okay? I'm sure you can do this, because you're very resourceful. I'm not saying that you're a genius, but you have a very remarkable potential to be one. I can sense it, and I know you're going to succeed in this mission."

'My dignity... is going to be trampled on!' Kohaku thought with gloomy and shadowy expression, having an existential crisis in his mind. This is really going to destroy him, causing him to give up. "Yes, I'll make sure the mission's successful, sir."

Lastier nodded, folding his arms in front of him. "Good, I'm going to be on the other island sooner. And, I'm going to evacuate the people that's not related to the government and the military, so I hope you'll be okay. I'm going to help you when I'm done with the evacuation, and you'll have my support. Good luck."

Hifumi snickered at him behind his fan while Kayla and Aliyah also giggling, while Kaname shake his head and Luca patted his older brother's subordinate. "Haha! Good luck Kayana!" he said happily, while Hokuri trying not to laugh from that. After the Trilaksana Organization members left, he prayed that Andrew and Shania are awake from their comatose--like how many fucking months has it been? He also had to deal with Takashi and Kizuna--he still forgive Kizuna because she apologized sincerely)and he couldn't stand of Takashi who literally killed Julian out of anger because of 'meddling' in his business.

"Come on, let me dress you fashionably!"

Radjasa offered with a snarky grin as he prepared some clothes for him, causing him shuddering in fear for his lost of dignity. "Oh God, just spare me!" Kohaku pleaded, slamming his face against the table of the briefing office. Kyouka snickered as she prepared the accessories for him, Byakuya was tempting to snap a photo of his undercover appearance. Rayna giggled as Sherry wanted to tease him even further, Kiryu laughed when Kohaku got forced into this shit by his master. Nadya has a flustered expression as she didn't know what to say to him, but still laughed at his miserable fate. Damien sighed and shook his head in disbelief, while Hisato can't wait to see his appearance. Kyoran had a vision of Kohaku's undercover appearance, before he gulped. "It seems like it..."

Kohaku had to cover his dark auburn slightly messy short hair that has bangs almost covering his magenta-brown eyes and pale complexion with his black wig and green-colored contacts, he wore a thick brown-tinted glasses and wearing a long black trench coat and pants, and wearing a pair of brown boots. Good thing they didn't color his fair complexion, but HERE HE IS.

WHY THE FUCK HE HAS TO BE DRESSED LIKE A FOREIGNER?!

"Damn you..." Kohaku murmured, trying not to make his annoyance exploded but the whole team laughed at his miserable fate. "Wait, one more final touch for you," Kahayana said to his son, causing Kohaku shivered in fear. "No! Dad, you wouldn't do this, right?!" he whined, as Radjasa snickered. "Would I?" he smirked devilishly as he showed him a makeup kit, before Kohaku screamed and he try to run away--only to be restrained by these two devils. "Noooooo!"

Few hours later...

Kohaku was passing down the street where people are still evacuating, the heels are so damn annoying that he couldn't walk properly in them. He finally escaped from the makeup disaster that was caused by his father, walking around with his hands in pockets after he removed the contacts. Hearing his surroundings, he can hear the people are talking to the Indonesian special forces nearby. "Fuck, my legs hurts so fucking much! Why does everyone has to wear heels like this? It's such bullshit! Can someone give me a massage or something?" he whispered, he look around before he saw the port nearby-the port is the only way to go to the other islands.

"I guess I need to go to Natuna, since it's the closest place," he murmured to himself, he felt like he's going to break down with pain. 'At least I brought my assassin attributes in my suitcase, otherwise I can't do this. It's like, my feet is literally breaking... I might get blisters after this…"

After few hours, he finally arrived at the Natuna Regency. Kohaku was wondering if he can just use his phone instead of the passport, since the password of his phone is his birthday. But fuck, his feet is killing him so much--it's like he's walking on a burning fire. He even felt the burning sensation on his thighs. He want to take off his heeled boots so bad, but he had no choice. "Damn it, I have to deal with this pain for a bit longer. Let's hope there's no special forces and soldiers in this island."

He stepped inside the speedboat once he showed his passport to the guard, the guard nodded and let him go inside. After a while, he finally arrived at the island-he's about to get off the speedboat when he heard the gunshot, and then he saw the Phantom Beasts come out from the sea and running towards the town. "You nasty leeches... good thing Professor Hokuri gave me this serum," he murmured, taking out a vial with serum and poured them into the ocean. "Let's hope this works, you guys are going to be sick for a while."

Kohaku watched the Phantom Beasts wreathing in pain by the reaction of the antidote, he had no idea why the serum have the power to kill the Phantom Beasts and even make them sick. 'I guess this is a side effect of the antidote, who knows?' he thought, before he turned on the speedboat and steering his way to the laboratory.

"This is going to be a long trip..."

As Kohaku fled from the port, he had no idea where the nuclear missiles are. While he steered his speedboat, he look around to make sure if the place is safe. It took him three days to find a port that closest to the island, after he fled from Bali and went to Jakarta until he found the port that close to the Natuna Regency. He could see that some members of Trilaksana Forces are already here, and he saw Professor Hokuri came to them. 'At least they're safe, I don't know what would happen if something happens to them. This is going to be a long trip, so let's hope that the boat is still intact.'

Kohaku growled as he take off his wig and put it down on the seat, and he had to change his shoe wear first. "Fuck, my feet is broken... how am I gonna walk with this thing?!" he grumbled, trying to remove his heels. But it's a struggle, and it's really hard. So, he decided to take off his boots and replace with his usual black boots that has small back heels. "FINALLY! A relief for my legs... ow, it's really pain for my feet. Seriously?"

Kohaku grumbled, fixing his glasses as he look around the area. He saw some Trilaksana Forces are there, and Professor Hokuri is speaking with them. He look forward to see the island of Natuna Regency, but the scenery that he sees are horrifying to him. The scenery in front of him was destroyed, and the ocean was filled with Phantom Beasts that swam inside the waters. "So foggy as shit, all thanks to this motherfucker."

He murmured, before he parked the speedboat and got off the boat. "And, there are no guards are here, so I should keep moving forward. I'll just have to sneak past them and go to the laboratory. I need to find the nuclear missiles, and I need to find William Pranaja," Kohaku murmured to himself, he look around before he walked in the island. He grabbed a respirator mask and put them on his face, and he used a flashlight to lighten his path.

He went outside the island, and he had no idea what was going to happen next. 'I'm sure he's already inside the island, the Trilaksana Organization will be dealing with deactivating the nuclear missiles and Phantom Beasts, along William Pranaja's men... those fucking Black Spiders...' Kohaku thought, before he adjuted the respirator mask.

Kohaku arrived at the laboratory, he saw some broken walls and debris were scattered everywhere. But he couldn't see anything else, there are no signs of human beings that once lived in this island. "Okay, so it looks like William Pranaja is not here in the first place," he murmured, looking around the area. "How could he even leave this place? It's so fucking creepy. It's like a ghost town here, I'm literally the only living thing here... I need to get changed first."

Kohaku donned his black loose poet blouse underneath his dark blue jacket with gold epaulettes on his shoulders, a symbol of EXODUS team logo was on his back since he asked Radjasa to make one for the team. He wears a dark blue pants tucked into his brown knee-length boots with small back heels, putting on his black gloves and adjusting his respirator mask. Kohaku adjusted the white belt around his waist and make sure the bullwhip is tucked on the pouch of his left side, before he tidied up his short messy dark auburn hair and long bangs over his magenta-red eyes. "This is nice... yeah, like this," he nodded, before taking out a gas mask on his other pouch on his left. He raised the goggles over his eyes, so he can see well. After he finished his preparation, he walked and get inside the laboratory first.

Kohaku started walking around the laboratory, looking around the area. He saw the computer and the journals in the table, and he took the journal and started reading it. "Okay, I see the date is written today. So, he's here, I'm sure he's going to be here soon. He's probably hiding somewhere, I think he's planning to release the missiles from the laboratory. Man, how can an Indonesian like him can retrieve such a huge ass nukes? Well, I don't know. I mean, it's not like he's a nuke expert, but he's insane."

Kohaku was looking at the journal when he heard something from the distance, he put down the journal on the table and grab a metal pipe that was nearby. He was trying his hardest to keep his heart beat calm, and his mind is clear. He was ready to fight against any person that was trying to kill him, even if it's a woman or a child (well not really, because it's pretty scary and shocking when he encountered a little kid that's infected with Anumerta).

Kohaku was waiting for a while, but he couldn't see anything. 'This is weird, there's no one here. Even the Phantom Beasts are gone, and William Pranaja isn't here too...' he thought, before he take out his black bullwhip.

He heard footsteps approaching, and he raised his weapon in front of him and ready to strike. He narrowed his eyes, as he saw a person standing in front of him. Kohaku couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the man, and his eyes widened in horror.

"Hello, there..."

William Pranaja greeted him, standing in front of him.

"It's nice to meet you, Kayana Sahanaya Tirta."

Kohaku shuddered when he met him for the first time, he look so fucking disturbing and creepy-he wanted to run away from the man. He felt his spine tingling when he met him, and the man was wearing a sinister smile on his face. Kohaku tried his hardest to calm himself, and he took a deep breath. "How did you know me?" Kohaku asked calmly, but with a stern expression on his face. "Why are you here?"

"I've been watching you, Kayana Sahanaya Tirta."

William said, with his usual smile. Kohaku narrowed his eyes, glaring at him. 'What the fuck is this guy talking about? Is he a fucking pervert or something? What's the deal?' he thought, before he saw the man laughing at him. "Enough of that, you must be very curious about my 'masterpiece' that I've been working on for such a long time," William said, he walked past him and turned his back against him.

"This is my true masterpiece, this is the greatest creation that I've created in my entire life. This is the most perfected version that I've created, it's a purebred. This is the ultimate and pure form of Anumerta, it's a perfected version that I've made. I wonder if you're curious to know, so feel free to tag along."

Kohaku glared at him for a moment, before he sheathed his bullwhip back. They both were walking through the corridors, the place is full of dust and broken glass. Kohaku felt like shit, he need to take a shower once this mission is over, and he's going to eat a lot of food after this. He was thinking about a lot of things, and he was wondering where the nuclear missile is. He didn't know about William's plan, he had no idea what is he planning to do with the nuclear missiles. "Tell me why are you creating this," Kohaku asked, seeing William chuckled before he explained.

"I've had enough of seeing the disgrace of this world, the system is not a thing that should exist. The government, the military, the police, and even the people themselves--they're all worthless and incompetent, so I created this as a way to reverse the system. I want to see how the people will look like after such a long time, and I want to see how the world will look like without the current system. That's why I want to test my theory, that's why I want to see the world."

William said, turning around to walk up the stairway to the tower where the large nuclear missile is located. Kohaku's eyes widened when he heard that, he was looking at him in horror. He didn't know what he's talking about, but he know how to make him spill out more information about the nuclear missiles. "That sounds interesting..." he said, following the man. "How long you've created the project?"

"Hmm... I guess eight years, from the first stage to the final stage. It was quite difficult, but I need to make sure everything's right. I used an abandoned laboratory, and so I gathered scientists and researchers to help me. All they needed is money to pay for their wages and living expenses, including the maintenance of this island. I plan to release this virus and nuke in Jakarta, but... perhaps all Indonesia? I can't wait to 'recreate' our nation... wouldn't that be awesome?"

There was a silence between them, William thought it would intimidate him-but he was wrong. He heard Kohaku chuckling darkly by his statement, he saw him look up as Kohaku scoffed with a smirk. "You are a fucking traitor of Indonesia, you are a shame of my own fucking country... listen here, punk..." he answered, looking up at him with a stern expression. "I know our country has a lot of shit going on, some people are shit too and law are shit too... but you know what? Not everything is bad, we may have a shitty officials, but at least the government and the president has a fucking good administration. Everything was going to be fine, and you ruined everything for eight years. How the fuck did you even get one of the nuclear missiles in the first place, even how can a fucking Indonesian like you could find it. I mean, I doubt there's some people who could risk doing this illegal business, because don't you know how fucked up the consequences are?"

"It takes a lot of determination and discipline, of course."

He was right, but he never consider himself right because he use logic and reasonings to think of something like that. He thought that Kohaku is just being sarcastic, but he's not. "If you really think I'm a hero, then why don't you make yourself into one? You probably watching too much comic books or whatever, but you can't just watch and don't participate in the world. If you're going to kill a lot of people, you have to be a hero to do it. But, you're a goddamn criminal, William Pranaja."

Kohaku whispered at the end, before he folded his arms. "Now show me your big ass missile, and let's see it."

They arrived at the tower, Kohaku saw the nuclear missile that was still intact. He heard the wind blowing in the cold breeze, and he saw the ocean waves crashing down against the walls. He heard the caws of seagulls in the distance, he could hear the sound of the waves crashing against the wall and the wind blowing against his face. "This is the nuclear missile, the largest in the world," William said, with a smile on his face. "I named it 'Sudarshana Chakra'... the most powerful weapon in the world, and it's the greatest invention that I've ever created."

Kohaku was beyond horrified to see the nuclear missile, it was massive that it can destroy everything in the whole world. It's like a huge missile, and the thing that is inside the missile is not a missile but a nuclear core. He sensed a Phantom Beasts' Cores are concealed inside the nuke, he could feel a lot of them are there. "How did you even put the nuclear missiles inside the nuclear core? Aren't you going to get infected by the radiation?" Kohaku asked, raising his eyebrow.

William smiled, "It's not a nuclear core. It's an Anumerta's Core, a purebred," He explained, seeing Kohaku widened his eyes in horror. "I've tried a lot of things to make it work, so I created something that will create a nuclear explosion. However, the nuclear core is a fake. The nuclear core is a special formula, it's the chemical mixture that can produce nuclear reactions."

Kohaku was on the verge of snapping, and he didn't know why he's still alive. Now he knows why smartest people had to be suppressed in fear of becoming a threat, and why people are going to kill their own kind. It's because people are afraid, and they're scared. He couldn't believe what he just heard, he was disgusted from his ideology and philosophy. "The world is in the process of destroying itself, and I'm going to be the one that will destroy it. I want to see if this affects the bubble universe of Phantom Samsara, I want to see how the world will look like after it was destroyed. It's not really going to end the world, it's not really going to kill the people. It's only going to lead to the destruction of the world, and a new world will be born. I'm sure that world will be a better world, it'll be a better world than the current world that we're living in."

"You're fucking insane..." Kohaku murmured, before he sighed. "But, you forgot one more thing, something that you don't know yet," Kohaku said with a smirk, making William stare at him suspiciously. "What is it?"

Kohaku is going to make William to surrender and give up the nuclear missiles, and Kohaku will have to get the fuck out of this place before this guy will have the chance to kill him. William didn't speak anything, but his mind was filled with questions. He doesn't understand why Kohaku is doing this, and he doesn't understand why he's going to make him surrender. It doesn't make sense, it's like... something is wrong with this man. He doesn't know what the hell is going on, like he was talking to a wall. As if Kohaku is talking to a piece of the wall, and he's not even looking at him.

"You might get offended by this joke, so... hear me out first before you freak out, got it? Not gonna lie, I hate being a 'two-leg'."

Kohaku broke the wall, and he hit him with the most painful part that will make any species die from pain, the testicles. He watched him trying to flee from there, until Kohaku snapped his bullwhip and hit his ankle--making him fell off the edge of the tower's platform. William screamed as he fall off the edge, before he crashed against the water. Kohaku was about to inform Damien and the others in Secret Garden, until his face went pale to see something emerging from under the ocean. "Wait... what the hell is that?" Kohaku asked, he was beyond horrified to see what's inside the ocean. He saw something emerged from the ocean, and it's a Phantom Beast. It was a massive serpent-like creature, and it's bigger than the nuclear missile. "Oh what the fuck..."

The creature was a serpent-like creature with a body covered with iridescent colored scales, a row of spine-like protrusions that appear to act like ribs ran all the way down its thorax, starting at the collar bone and ending at the edge of the front flippers--the creature has long forearms with short wing-like fins. A horn-like protrusion extended from its upper jaw, and it had a long tail with a bony extensor. The creature lets out a roar and the airs are vibrating, before it look up and noticed Kohaku is standing there. 'What the fuck is that thing, that's not a normal Phantom Beast. You know what, I think I need to ask Professor Hokuri to name this thing. I bet the Trilaksana Organization will love this, they will be so proud about it.'

Kohaku heard the roar from the Phantom Beast, he could hear the mix of William's voice and the creature's voice. He could see a red glow in the creature's body, and it's glowing bright red. He was wondering what is the Phantom Beast's name, until Kohaku saw a Phantom Beast's Core emerged from the creature's body. "Nagada, that's the name of the Phantom Beast!" Professor Hokuri informed as he was in the shore with the other Trilaksana members, while Kohaku is still on top of the tower. "Nagada? What the hell, I didn't even know what the hell is the Phantom Beast's name."

"That's the name of the Phantom Beast, and it derives from Nāga, half-human half-serpent divine (or partially divine) beings in Hindu mythology. It's also known as a celestial nagini, or a king cobra."

Kohaku was blank as fuck, he was so confused why a creature like that exist in here. The creature roared once again, and it's looking straight at him. "Here we go," Kohaku scoffed, before he transformed into his Tiryag form.

His dark auburn hair slowly turning into fiery and long messy dual-colored hair with red streaks which his bangs fell over his magenta-purple eyes that turned into amber gold-color with black scleras and some of his white bangs fell on his cheeks--he gained red and amber scales on the corner of his eyes and neck--along a pair of floating gold-red burning horns on his forehead. His attire consists of black turtleneck bodysuit underneath his red cloth with orange feather-like ornaments that attached symmetrically to his gold sash with Batik patterns, a red threads connected to golden large ring on his left wrapped around his waist and tied into five-petaled ribbons on the back and the front--along a black armor-like plate clasped on his left hip and wears a white long two symmetrical white capes with pockets and red undersides with traces of flames. He wears a black thigh-high boots with red accents and red gems on his knees, along a red armor-like plate on his right shoulder that has red four-petaled ribbon on it--in addition of a red cape attached on the back of his right shoulder. He wears a black and red fingerless gloves with golden claw attachments on his fingers which has a gauntlet part on the back of his palm.

"Now, it's time to kick some ass."

Kohaku flew from the top of the tower, as he landed in front of Nagada. He made a huge blow of his fist that he punched on the serpent's chest, and the creature roared in pain. "Whoa! Don't ever come near me or I'm going to rip you to shreds, you filthy snake!" Kohaku shouted at the creature, before the serpent retaliated. He created a huge burning firewall to break the explosion, but then the serpent evaded and charged towards him. "WHAT THE FUCK, YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!"

He must prevent the beast from nearing the nuclear missiles that William just created, he can't let Nagada destroy the missiles. "You know, I have something to tell you... William. I know deep down you're a coward, a pathetic, and a weak-ass creature that no one will love you. No one will ever love a creature like you, you're nothing but a disappointment. You're a waste of space, a waste of resources. William, I know you're there, I know you can hear my ass. I don't mean to insult your good-looking face... but you're ugly as fuck."

Nagada roared as a sign of rage, as Kohaku jumped away to get away from the giant creature. The serpent roared out loud in anger, before he blasted an ice attack at Kohaku and immediately froze him--which made him wide-eyed as he tried to melt down the ice; but instead it froze him completely and created an ice crystal on top of the ocean.

"Kohaku!"

"Kayana!"

He could hear his friends and colleagues of Secret Garden calling, before they got frozen at the same time like him in their Tiryag forms. Damn it, Nagada is probably freezing them all out. Kohaku growled before he transformed into Yamantaka Ambers form, panting heavily as the ice crystal shattered and he looked down below him. "You know, I've been thinking lately about the things you told me earlier. I've been thinking about it a lot, and I think you're right about the world. It's a shitty place, and people are so fucking stupid. You were right about that, and I'm not going to hide the fact that I agree with you about it," Kohaku spoke, as the creature didn't react. He saw his teammates were frozen, but he couldn't see the 'true' Tiryags forms that they has.

"I HAD ENOUGH!"

Kohaku roared, seeing the creature didn't react. He watched his allies unleash their powers by attacking the beast. Nagada roared in response, it's glowing red before it blasts the ice shards that encased its Core, the ice shards blasted towards Kohaku and he narrowed his eyes--he used his flintlock to retaliate the ice shards and he sliced the ice shard with his bullwhip, throwing the ice shards behind him. He swung the weapon down and slashed Nagada's head, causing the creature to scream in pain and Kohaku stabbed the creature's Core--only to see it regenerates.

He saw William in his human form still connected to the creature's body, he look so spent and he's covered with blood. His messy bluish dark hair with his left bangs covering his black eyepatch that covered his left golden-colored eye-all drenched in blood.

"William Pranaja... you're nothing but a disgusting trash," Kohaku said, standing in front of him as William coughed out some blood. "You're... not going to kill me," William spoke with a chuckle, before he fell down to his knees.

"And why would I not kill you, asshole?"

"Because... I'm a valuable person... and you're not going to kill me," William said, before Kohaku narrowed his eyes as he folded his arms. "How valuable can you be? You're just a disgusting, piece of shit. You know what? I think I don't want you to tell me. If you're going to talk about the Phantom Samsara theory, I don't even need to hear it. We know shit that you're doing. We know it's you who created the nuclear missiles that are about to launch, and we know that you're planning to nuke the fucking country, even the whole goddamn world."

Kohaku informed, and William laughed. "Oh right... looks like I just went over my head here."

William spoke, before he coughed again. At this rate, the twisted ideology and beliefs I had indeed has proven myself as nothing but a monster, a sick, twisted, and vile bastard. I want to change the world, and I have no doubt that I will succeed. Go ahead and kill me, and don't hesitate. You can do it, I can sense that you're so mad right now. I can see that fire in your eyes, I know you can kill me... because I was the one who lured your little friend in that yakuza leader's trap."

William stated, then he look up at him. "That's your mission... right, Kayana Sahanaya Tirta?"

Kohaku was so tempted by his words, he was testing his patience to end his life. He's a key person who had to be captured alive by government of Indonesia and United Nations, though Secret Garden wanted him dead just as the shadow government ordered. And that was already enough reason for Kohaku to assassinate him. He didn't understand what he meant by that. He didn't understand what he's talking about, and he was so confused by his words. But, he didn't stop there as he saw William transformed into his serpent form again.

Kohaku opened his eyes, before he transformed into a final form of his Tiryag state, known as Finality Form.

Shashtra Tiryag; Yamantaka the Finality.

Kohaku's long white hair with messy streaks now colored with amber-yellow streaks and sea-green blue streaks, which is pulled into high ponytails by the black ribbon with golden hairpin and red beads--with some parts of his long hair fell behind his ears and his bangs almost covering his eyelids. His eye color turned light blue with amber-mixed hue and sharp pupils like a demon-with his scleras turned black, his porcelain complexion retained its color on his skin. His horns are colored with pastel gold and blue with pink paints, so does on his eyelids as an eyeshadow paint and golden earrings on his ears with tags.

His attire consists of his black sleeveless turtleneck bodysuit under his black leather jacket decorated with drawstrings, zippers and a military-style belt. Underneath, he wore a long-sleeved white shirt with ruffled cuffs and a tie. He wears short black gloves and pants that resemble stylish biker pants with built-in knee pads and multiple seat belts.
