"WWWWHHYYY THEEE HELLL IS NNNNOBOOODYYYY LISSSTENNNINNGG TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?"
At that moment, it was already too late.
The tragedy had struck and there was no avoiding it any longer.
Before the very eyes of those who had seen nothing, Pyry Leijonamieli's body was suddenly wrapped in jet-black metal as it burst from his wounds and pores, spreading at an rapid rate like some sort of nightmarish cancerous growth across his whole body. At the same time a ridiculous amount of prana was released from within the boy, akin to a ramjet engine's exhaust. The blast became a violent galeforce of prana, a magical maelstrom and a shockwave that send Hisa, Elise and Mercedes all flying into different directions as they were unprepared for something like that. They had only seen their own world's version of the events... not the one it was changed into. Before their very eyes the history was rewritten, and with that, a trap for the ultimate form of tragedy was sprung upon those who had been caught in it. The three girls, their missing friend... and the boy who was now roaring towards the skies, his voice no longer his own. No, right now, it was a voice of a monstrous feline, like a colossal Nemean Lion that reached towards the sun to devour it whole.
The black metal was everywhere. It formed into chitin-like plates all across Pyry's body, enclosing his whole form like a cocoon. At the same time the magical engine within him, on the place where his heart should be, went into overdrive and started pumping prana into the boy to reform the body that had been lost. The missing arm sprouted from the torso violently and was immediately covered in the metal, while the torso itself was first wrapped up in the dark armor and then re-created within it by magical flames, heat and energy. The jaws of the boy were morphed even further with a sickening sound of bones being rearranged and at the same time, they become encased in the same ancient mithril. The light of intelligence disappeared form Pyry's eyes, as did his tears - the last of them evaporating thanks to the heat that was released from his body. Instead an unearthly glow of red, fury that was both his own and not, shone from deep within the helmet that his head had become.
The sorrowful cry of utter fury echoed in the clearing.
It was too late to do anything.
By the time Hisa, Elise and Mercedes recovered from the shockwave...
--- The transformation was already complete.
What stood in the place where Pyry had once been... was now a Mad Colossus of Rage.
A towering shape clad in black armor, with red runes and veins running through it and separating the chitin-like plates that covered the whole of the boy. It was an armor so primeval and ancient that it was hard to even pin-point its origin point... but that was not what was important. Indeed, that armor was not just an armor... it was a living organism growing from within the young man, and now it had taken over him completely. It had oozed out from the pores of his skin and from his tearducts, his mouths, ears, nose and eyes... from between his fingertips and from within his navel. It was a sickening armor of some sort of jet-black gold that encased the boy, imprisoning him, and pumping Dew of Heaven through him at an alarming. All those present could hear the hum of the magical energy emanating from the colossus, radiating both heat and power just like the strange substance had. Finally, the head that had been howling towards the skies lowered itself... and the red eyes of insanity were directed at the three that were present.
They no longer saw his friends.
They saw only prey --- Targets.
And the reason wasn't just the the rush of power within the boy, or the berserker rage he had been thrust into.
No...
Hisa Momoi especially could see it clearly.
That mindless, blank red glow of his eyes and their vengeful stare...
--- Somebody was controlling him.
Somebody was making Pyry relive his battle with the man who had killed Prushka, making him see them as that man... and thus, making him attack them out of vengeance.
Rage of revenge was something truly terrible to behold.
And when it emanated from this monstrous form of absolute power...
... It was brought to its true height.

"▂▂▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅▅▅▅▅!"
It happened too fast to even properly react to it.
At one point, the monster clad in black armor had its eyes set upon the three girls. Then, in a blink of an eye, it was gone from its space, dashing forward while leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. For something of that size to move with that speed... it was like watching a bullet train charge forward, maddened red eyes gleaming in the dark of the forest like ominous stars. Pure prana was exhaled with every breath as the colossus charged forward, taking shortest route towards the nearest target. That mad light... it, he was still fighting the same battle against his hated enemy in a desperate bid to save life of Prushka. It was a nightmare he was unable to leave thanks to whatever it was that drove him to such berserker state, which clouded his mind and made him descend deeper and deeper into insanity. The roar that bellowed out from within the blackened helmet was that of sorrow, unforgiving sorrow and hatred at both himself and the man who had so cruelly killed his friend. The huge feet trampled the ground, generated a small shockwave with each step, and threw the colossus of magical and physical energy...
--- Straight towards Elise.
Too fast.
Too powerful.
Before the brunette girl could even muster a proper defense, one of those hands capable of crushing boulders barreled down upon and her and struck her right into her midsection, sending a blinding sensation of pain through her whole body.
--- She had gotten an arm in.
Just barely.
Just barely... she had survived that one attack.
The force of the punch had sent Elise flying backwards, through couple of smaller trees before smashing straight into a thick pine. The air that was drived out of her lungs was returning... but with it came the screaming sensation of agony and pain. That strike had last less than a second, it's aftermath the same time, but as Elise laid there on the ground, against the tree, she saw that the damage it had done... was massive.
--- Had she been any less lucky, she would have been dead, right then and there.
Her left arm was a mangled mess, one that wouldn't be useful for anything anymore. And the ribs underneath it, the ones she had tried to protect... they were shattered. The left side of her ribcage was more or less broken, and blood was spreading everywhere from within her. She could even see two of the ribs sticking out through her flesh and her clothes... a sight that made the whole world spin in a dizzying dance for a moment.
The pain was horrendous - blinding and white-hot.
The brunette girl would have to focus all of her mind if she wanted to even act.
And she would need to... since the Mad Beast before her was about to strike again.
--- All the while screaming out a roar of sorrow.
