Maruki’s breath comes in steady, controlled bursts as the voice—angry, venomous, far too close—digs into his mind.
“Not like it matters now since I took that chance away from-” He hears his own voice reverberating through the accusations. “-both of us. I killed you in that hospital.”
The headache spikes through his head as he yells, clutching his own head as the voices thrash within him before he looks through the gaps of his fingers- catching the yellow eyes vanish in a brilliant flash, leaving only the echo of their hateful glow behind. Before Maruki can react, the walls themselves seem to come alive. Tentacles erupt from every surface around him, twisting and thrashing with murderous intent, countless and overwhelming.
“Damn it!” Maruki growls, his voice carrying an edge of desperation. Azathoth surges into action, its iridescent tendrils lashing outward to meet the onslaught. The two forces collide in an explosion of force and restrain, black tentacles carved in a green hue with light, the glossy white walls fracturing under the strain.
Maruki braces himself, his grip tightening around Azathoth’s presence. “Enough of this! Shine eternal radiance- Azathoth!” he shouts, his voice reverberating with anger—and something deeper, a flicker of pain. The glow of Azathoth intensifies, and with a sweeping motion, its tendrils pierce through the writhing mass of black tentacles.
Explosions of white light and shimmering energy tear through the surrounding darkness, clearing a small space around Maruki. He uses the reprieve as he pierces a tentacle into the wall and flung himself up and away- hand wrangling out in a wild flourish as he grits his teeth.
"It was not in my actual intention to look for you!" Maruki yells as Azathoth thrashes- pulling at the shadow's tentacles with its own as if attempting to pull those glowing yellow eyes out from the darkness. It slices through, cutting each tentacle in small pieces and eating it away. "I don't remember anything after I awakened to this power! What you’re accusing me of! My own lab, my life’s work—most of it is locked away from me!"
The tentacles lunge again, faster and more frenzied this time, as if responding to his words with fury. Azathoth reacts in kind, its movements precise and unyielding. A glowing tendril slams into the ground, creating a shockwave that pushes back the darkness once more.
“I didn’t come here to fight you!” Maruki shouts, his voice hoarse. “I came here for answers! Answers about what I’ve done, about who I even am now!”
