The man's shoulders continued to tremble, and as he looked up, Fingers saw a strange smile on the former's face. He instinctively stepped back for a second, afraid of what this person would do.
'Wait, isn't this guy just a human? Then why…why am I so afraid?' Fingers thought.
Suddenly, the side of the man's mouth started to rip, the skin peeled and broke out from the top of the head, and a strange brown colour could be seen on whatever was coming out from the Skin. A strange pink goo could be seen as the skin was stretched and peeled.
Breaking out from the top of its head, a figure that was the same size as a human, with nothing but large white eyes and sharp jagged teeth, was now standing in front of Fingers.
"I said run!" Shark shouted as he leapt up with an axe in his hand that he had been carrying and swung it down as hard as he could, right on the strange Creature's head. The axe pierced its skin and moved, cutting it down the middle, but it didn't go completely through it.
The human skin that it was wearing now had completely gone off from its body, and out from its back, six strange long tentacle-like figures could be seen, and each of them had a very sharp end.
Its arms were the same size as a human's as well, only that its fingers were quite elongated than a typical person's and were pointy as well. The Creature swung its arm, trying to throw away Shark. The latter could see the attack was coming, so he let go of the axe and created a cross-shape block with both of his arms.
However, when he was hit, he felt the sheer strength of the Creature. His body went flying, hitting the tables and chairs away.
Shark continued to skid as he went across the room, and his back eventually hit the bottom of the stage.
The Creature then pulled the axe out of its head, and blood fell on the floor from its body, but the wound quickly healed right in front of them, something similar to what Zain could do.
"Pink, get out of here!" Shark shouted. "We can't win this. Warn them, warn everyone about this. Go to the Kitchen! Find a way out!"
When Shark turned his head back around, he saw the Creature had now lifted Fingers into the air. In the next instant, the sharp tentacles pierced through his body.
"ARGHH!" The Creature screamed, and the tentacles started to grow longer as it pushed Fingers back and slammed him right up against the wall, piercing him then and there. Strangely, it looked like something was happening to the tentacles as part of it grew larger and began to move down towards the Creature's body.
It was as if something out of the Zombies body was being transported to him.
Pink was stunned upon witnessing the scene in front of her. Fingers were dead before any one of them could even react to the Creature's attacks.
'This is…all my fault. I was the one that did this. I was the one that told them to open the doors. Fingers is now dead because of me.'
The strange tentacles soon came out of Fingers, and his body fell to the floor, leaving a trail of blood on the wall. After the fall, Fingers remained still, confirming the fact that he was now dead. There wasn't a third chance for this poor soul.
Just as the tentacles were retracting to the Creature's body though, Jelly had come up from behind the Creature and grabbed its body.
"Pink…run!" Jelly shouted as he tried to use all his strength in his legs and weight to lift the Demon up. However, no matter how hard Jelly tried, he couldn't budge the strange Creature for some reason.
Shark got up from where he was and noticed that the Creature's legs had changed, creating these small spikes from its body that had dug into the ground.
'This…this creature can only be one thing, what they warned us about: a Demon!' Shark thought as he pulled out two daggers from his belt. Glancing to his right, he could see Pink had escaped to the kitchen as he had asked.
However, he was going to try to take out this Demon that was in front of him.
"How can I just leave when even Jelly is fighting damn hard!"
Shark charged forward, but he was too late. The pointed tentacles had dug into the Jelly's back, instantly piercing him. Then he was lifted in the air and chucked to the bar area, crashing into it and breaking the bottles and more on the very back wall.
Using the tentacles, the Demon started to lift up chairs and tables, chucking everything it could at Shark, which was making it hard for the latter to fight properly.
When Shark avoided the chair that had been thrown at a great speed, he could see the Demon had already slashed through the bar and had taken out Jelly as well.
With Fingers and Jelly dead and Pink hopefully having escaped, there was nothing that Shark could do, so he decided to retreat to another room. As he was running behind the stage, a tentacle came out and slammed him right through the door, breaking part of the rubble.
Shark was still alive at this point and was now in the office, but when looking at the lower half of his body, he noticed it was missing. The Creature had completely sliced off.
"I have to warn them…I have to warn anyone that comes in here." Using his own blood from the bottom half of his body, he started to write the final message, and a few seconds later, the video ended there.

"So…what happened?" Kun asked after a gulp upon seeing that Zain had stood up from his position.
"They ran into a Demon. They were no match and couldn't even hurt the thing. The good news is though, I'm guessing Pink is alive, or at least she was alive before Shark died." Zain explained.
"Is there bad news?" Kun asked as it looked like Zain wanted to say something else.
"Yeah, these Demon's not only are strong, but it looks like they can disguise themselves as humans as well. Which means…this world just got a lot more dangerous."
