The original Daiko stepped back.

"If you want to see my new state so badly, then so be it..." The original chided, sending slight chills towards his clone. But unknowingly to the original, the clone was actually excited for what was to come...

After all, his blood was the very pinnacle of both fighting races. A challenge or any possible physical confrontation would stir him up.

After a moments notice, an eerie calm spread throughout the utter whiteness that was the chamber.

The taller of the two clutched his hands tightly while closing his eyes, soon, his hair then rose with the wind. However...

"ARGGHHHH!!!!"

A blood curdling scream could be heard from the taller two. Worried the clone shouted.

"What's wrong!?"

*Crackle~*

*Crackle...~*

The clone witnessed as his older self bones beginning to rearrange it self within the flesh of his future self, seeing this, he backed away subconsciously. He then thought to himself, what could this form be.

'Just what is this?' The clone thought.

He watched as his future self's bones continuing to morph. He still heard his older self's scream in pain from the ordeal, as if his body was rejecting what it was being forced into...

"Just what the hell is this!? Why are you doing this to yourself!!!" The clone shouted.

Sweat poured from all over his body. And as time passed, he saw his older self's hair suddenly fall out.

Not only that, it was also disappearing into a steamy mist, as if it was evaporating like water... New hair quickly re-grew, now instead of silky black, it was a glowing luminescent white, not only regrowing completely, but now much longer. Now reaching below the original's knee...

The screams continued, but the voice now had a second echo behind it... A much deeper, almost monstrous echo... As the metamorphosis persisted, as well as the screams. The clone now witnessed his older half's skin-tone shift from the light tan it once was, to complete paleness only akin to soulless bodies...

The clone backed away once more as the screams of what sounded to be a monster echoed in the endless void...

Unknowingly, the clone felt every strand of hair on his body begin to rise slowly, even his hair on his head spiked up what is akin to super Saiyan 2. As the metamorphosis was seemingly finished.

*ZIT...*

*ZIT... ZIT*

Sparks of electricity radiated off of what used to be the original's body...

'Electricity? How is that even possible? He has no energy flowing through his body... Wait! Could it be!?' The clone thought.

He examined the built of his older self, not only was he getting stronger at an alarming pace, but the the theorized that the sheer rate of the neuro response thanks to his nerves, must have radiated electricity as a side effect.

Not only that, the clone felt the sheer lethality that washed over him... Whatever this thing was, he knew it wasn't just his older self.

the clone's older half still remained arched, his body still twitching and spasming from the bone rearrangements it was going through.

Taking precaution, the clone realized he couldn't get an exact read on his other half's power, it was too much, it was simply growing too quickly for him to get an estimate on.

'I have a small feeling that I should take this up a notch...' The clone thought.

Instantly, a grass green aura quickly radiated off of him, with a slight bluish tint as well mixed in, and in a flash, his hair turned to what seemed to be a golden torch, his eyes shifting from icy blue to a aqua-marine...

"Let's get this started shall we?" The clone said, however, even transformed, he still couldn't shake the feeling that he was still, inferior...

As soon as he said those words, his other half twitched once more...

*Crackle~*

The clone realized that his other half's eyes had changed, now containing a much more horrifying feel to it. Now instead of a luminescent Iris, it was now almost pitch black like his sclera, only leaving a white pupil instead of its black, and a luminescent ring of where the iris should be...

His lips where pitch black as well...

And as the older half locked eyes with his clone. He smiled...

"This... Is... What... You've... Asked... For..."

His older half said in a extremely deep voice, layered with another... He then clutched his head, seemingly to a response of pain, but no such emotion glossed over his stoic features...

'He can't even speak well... Whatever that state is, it seems like its abandoning certain 'functions', to propel itself... Speech is certainly one...' The clone thought, being slightly disturbed.

As he thought his. More bone creaking sounds became apparent, His older self was preparing to move.

The clone's energy charged with a show of electricity. Instantly, he was behind his older now transformed self, however...

As he was about to strike, a sense of imminent danger washed over his very being. Once again the very hair on his body straightened. The feeling was far more apparent then ever, and in response, he instantly dashed backward.

Escaping the threat his body warned him of mere seconds earlier...

"What's... Wrong... Scared?"

The older Daiko whispered once again clutching his head, but his voice echoed. His monstrous voice cold and calculating. On the other hand, his clone didn't take the slight phrase well...

"Shut, up!" He yelled. His mind in pure disarray.

'Just what was that!? I felt my body back away on its own! Just what is my older self capable of, that it's enough to threaten the current me?' The clone thought, confused. His body simply wouldn't allow him to face such a threat.

He felt as if he was afraid on a cellular level, if that was even possible...

"A... Pity..." The older half said suddenly, catching his younger clone off guard.

"A pity what?" The clone asked. However, the older half simply stood motionlessly, as his neck itself creaked and twisted in a 180 degree angle, he then whispered...

"You... Can't... See... What... I... See... The... Very... Breath... You... Take... I... Can... Feel... The... Very... Molecules... Shift... In... The... Air... The... Amount... And... How... Much... You... Do... It... I... Can... Even... See... The... Countless... Moves... You... Will... Use... Against... Me... I... Can... Feel... The... Very... Energy... Course... Through... Your... Muscles... And... Nerves... And... How... They... Respond... It's... Fascinating... It's... Like... I... Can... See... The... Essence... Of... One's... Physiology... And... Even... Life... I... Can... See... Your... Very... Organs... Your... Very... Heart... As... It... Beats... In... Your... Chest." He said, once again clutching his head, but for longer this time, then continuing...

"And... Even... Your... Nerves... Too. Do... You... Think... You... Can... Comprehend... The... Very... Angles... And... Numerical... Value... Of... Nature?... The... Very... Fabric... Of... Reality... Revealing... Itself... To... You... Just... Begging... To... Be... Explored?..." His clone finished. But the clone looked worried.

'He can see all of that? Is his mind coping well with so much information flooding it?' The clone thought. He took a solid stance.

As he did so, the older Daiko did something unexpected...

'No way... He's Floating!?'

The older half began floating in mid air, slowly making his way to his younger self.

*Crackle~*

"If... You... Do... Not... Come... To... Me... Then... I... Will... Come... To... You..."
