How long had it been sense his arrival on this ship? Hours perhaps? They were still in a space port, that much Shaza had known as he stood in a cell. The bars were not big enough for a normal person to walk through and it didn't seem to know much about his race. Even when he was "enslaved" Shaza didn't put up a fight, instead willingly let them put the cuffs on him. Granted he didn't know that they reduced his power by any means but upon getting them on, he was visibly surprised by it. They had taken him in with their tiny little remarks about his appearance and while he was curious what would happen if he let this continue... he had found himself comfortable on Earth.

Standing in the cage, the people near him were huddled into a corner with fear in their eyes. They didn't know what was going to happen to them and couldn't understand where they were going to be taken. Shaza on the other hand was in a day dream, thinking of all the people on the ship he could absorb or kill. It wasn't till a man approached, wearing a strange little outfit to make himself look menacing most likely. He spoke on how they were going to be sold for the highest bid on the black market and then went on to ramble about being good. Shaza had stopped paying attention around the start.

When one of the guards approached to poke him with an electric prod was when he began paying attention once more. Anger in his eyes now as he looked the man over. The "boss" was displeased he was being ignored it seemed.

"Bit of a dull one eh? But look at the anger in his eyes! Ho ho! A lively one that pink thing. Got the eyes of a killer. I like him."

As the pirate captain finished speaking he whispered to his subordinate before turning around to leave the room. The bulk head door shutting tightly with the wheel turning in the center of it. The men gathered around the majin's cell clearly intent on "teaching" Shaza a lesson in obedience. The cell door was opened before he was forced back with the electric prod, the majin moving back despite it not hurting that badly. Once two of the men entered the room with him, smirking while holding objects to beat him with, that was with the majins smile returned. Anger filled their eyes, not amused at being smiled at in amusement.

One of them would slap him upside the head with a baton, only... the baton would lodge itself inside his head and the man found himself unable to pull it free. The second man took the time to shock him once more. Unfortunately the man would find the majin less willing to be shocked again. The prod found itself passing through the stomach of the majin as a hole opened up. The one eye left to the majin looking at the electric prod man before he pointed a finger at him. Surprise was the last expression he got when the finger turned into a spike that pierced him in the eye before reaching his brain.

The baton man watched in horror as his friend was killed but he wouldn't get a chance to grieve or avenge him. The majin's body turning into a mass of flesh which encased him, however he didn't possess any traits Shaza wanted. In a moment, the men outside would open fire upon the mass of flesh. Much to their horror, they would find their bullets pelting the flesh and passing through it... Killing their comrade. When the flesh reformed into shaza, their ally fell to the ground dead from bullet wounds.

The majin then turned their attention to his hands as he held them up to show them a neat little trick. The Cuffs were off and on their now dead ally. The duo looked shocked and confused, one of the men began firing while the other tried to open the door. Shaza on the other hand simply walked forward, the bars passing through his body like water passing them. He slowly walked up to the firing man and grabbed him by the throat. The gruesome end for the man was of course unpleasant, his gun fire shooting the lights out in the ship as he panic fired. In darkness no one could see a thing, however as the door opened, those outside who were coming to help would see their ally one last time. His screams for help as he ran from the door possibly demoralizing the approaching reinforcements as they saw him pierced through the thigh by two spikes and unceremoniously dragged back into the darkness.

Horrible gnashing and crunching sounds soon followed only to go quiet once more. The captain arriving just in time as the reinforcements turned their lights on, guns aimed at the door. Slowly they creeped forward, one entering the room and scanning it for hostiles... only to find the room empty save the soon to be slaves. The captain entered in the middle of the group while looking at them. After a brief pause, the slaves whimpering their fears, the captain finally spoke up.

"Where is the pink one?"

No one would answer at first, only whine their fears and crawl up against the walls as guns were pointed at them. The captain would once again shout his question.

"I said, where is the damn pink one?! He was in this middle cell! Where is he?!"

One slave would simply shake its head before pointing up above the group. The armed group looked up to see a vent, small enough to fit an arm into maybe, but not enough for a person. Shaza was free in their ship now...

------

While he could just bulldoze his way through the ship, the majin had a much sicker and sadistic way of dealing with this lot. Slowly creeping through the vents, the majin soon found himself in the engine room. The pink goo that was the majin seeping from the vents sickeningly and with a loud "plop" onto the deck floor. Reforming, he would dust himself off while taking in the sight of the room. It was an interesting device, but he could not even begin to understand it on a glance.

Thankfully the very thing he needed just so happened to be nearby. A humming mechanic who had headphones on was currently walking out from behind a wall, the man unaware of the threat that just arrived. Shaza reverted back into his blob form, creeping up behind the man. The man abruptly finding himself killed by absorption, leaving Shaza to reform at the terminal. With new memories of how to operate the machine, he typed away at the device.

Within moments the engine room turned red, the lights within the ship turning off and emergency power coming on. The engine rumbling its final breath only to go silent a few seconds later. Shaza looked from the console then to the engine and with a smirk, shot a beam of energy form his eyes through the engine to permanently disable it. Now, for the final touch.

Having lured his prey to his location, the Majin set off once more. Seeping into the vents like a horrible flesh monster that he was to seek out the final piece. While they were rushing the engine room, and not able to predict his next move. Shaza slipped through the inner workings of the ship till he got to the back... where the cargo exit was. Once in the room, he swiftly disabled the doors to prevent escape. However as he finished tearing the switch from the wall, a single bullet would pierce him in the neck.

The majin's head falling back as it hung from the small piece that remained. Nearly decapitated, his eyes followed the sound to its location. A young man, no older than a few years over teen. Probably around twenty two or so was staring with horror at him. At first the majin simply smiled and reformed his neck to fix his head problem. The boy leveled his rifle then to begin firing at his opponent once more. The bullets simply piercing the majin only for the holes to heal up once more.

With no other option, he took a grenade from his belt to which Shaza would give a small "ho?" in surprise. The grenade was thrown at the majin's feet, the boy taking cover behind a metal frame just in time for the explosion. When he looked back, he could see that Shaza had been blown into tiny pieces, scattered about the ships cargo room. Slowly emerging from his cover the youth looked about the room with a proud smile. It wasn't till the pieces started moving that the youth's smile turned to fear once more. The majin reforming in whole form and just as happy as before.

The majin slowly clapping his approval at the young man's desire to kill his opponent.

"AHAHA! Good good. Thats the spirit."

The majin wasn't surprised when the youth recognized he was no match for the majin, turning to run away. The majin could kill him but decided to allow him to escape. After all, his prey was far more interesting. Once he was alone again, the majin began to spill upwards into the vent above him. His journey now taking him into the heart of the ship.

The captain was desperate at this point, having watched the video footage of the massacre in both the holding cells and the engine room. He had gathered a small little force within the helm as they tried to come up with a new plan. A monster unlike anything they had witnessed before was on board and it was killing his men. Slowly pacing back and forth, the captain attempting to come up with a plan. It was clear it could turn into some sort of liquid and their bullets couldn't effect it. Perhaps a gas? But they didn't know if it even breathed!

It was when one of the crew called for his attention that he stopped to look. On the monitor he could see some of his men on the space dock trying to figure out what was happening within the ship. A tiny bit of hope filled everyone's chest then as they tried to get the comms up and running. It took a few minutes of effort yet they finally managed to get it going, efforts bearing fruit as a crackle from the radio signaled life in group. A voice broken up by static could be heard, radios being used through a ship interfering with its signal.

"Hell- can an-one hear- whats hap-ing on boa-"

Despite their efforts, the group couldn't get more in before one of their own shouted for their attention. The captain turning in time to see the crew on the port pointing their guns at something off camera and then opening fire. The sounds of gunfire could be heard through the helm's window and when they saw the pink monster walking into view... their hearts sank. They could only watch as the first few men were caught by the monster stretching its arms out to grab them by the throat then hurling the unfortunate pair off screen to their deaths most likely if the screams then silence were any indication.

The scene before them was a gruesome one, sadistic violence against helpless prey for this unknown creature. The radio would continue to shout their disbelief for some time as the monster went further into the port and disappeared from view. A few minutes of fighting could be heard over the radio, gunfire and shouts... But it would finally go silent after a while. A few moments of heart sinking despair was all the crew got until a voice could be heard.

At first it was faint, but soon became clear.

"Ahh there we go. Good day gentlemen, my name is Shaza... You probably know me from the unfortunate deaths of your comrades."

"What the hell are you?"

The captain asked into the comms, the crew looking at the hyperventilating captain, their sights on a man who was clearly losing his composure.

"Ahh a good question. You see, I am what you call a majin, a being born of magic... and unfortunately for you... I cannot be killed by your weapons. A shame that, however don't worry. I'll be up real soon."

With that, the radio would go silent. The captain beginning his shouting into the speaker with things such as "how much do you want" or "I'll pay you whatever it is you want." However it was to late. The group all turned at once when they heard something hit the sealed doors behind them. The sliding doors dented in as if something had slammed into it. A few moments of tension was all they got until they were scrambling for their weapons. 

A few seconds later, each man staring the door down as sweat trickled down their faces, the door suddenly began to leak pink goo from its corners and edges. The goo slowly becoming more and more collected around the door until finally it caved in. The door falling inwards to reveal a heap of moving flesh, pink and slithering forwards. The group began opening fire, shouts could be heard down the hall and gunfire. The youth from before standing in the hallway while he watched in horror the events that took place.

A few moments was all it took but to the youth it was an eternity. He saw the flashes of light from guns and then... darkness once more. The only thing he could see now was the red light outlining the doorway in the hall. He had come at just the wrong time, to late to assist his captain and crew. Now he was alone... alone and afraid of the monster that was in that room. It wasn't till he felt a hand on his shoulder that he tensed up in paralyzing fear.

Looking to his right, he came face to face with Shaza, the majin smiling condescendingly at the youth. The two shared a stare for a few seconds only for Shaza to release his shoulder and walk past him. Confusion set in to the young man's face as he watched the Shaza he had just had walk past him, meet another Shaza who exited from the helm. The two smiling at each other before complimenting the other for a job well done. In a brief moment of conversation only to then fuse back together again. The now whole Shaza walked towards the youth who fell to his knees and waited his end. 



But the majin didn't even pay him any attention, walking past as he started to sing. His voice a chorus of all the youth's comrades and the slaves from before. All their voices emitting from Shaza as he walked past.

"Hush now, hide all you little ones. Rush, now, to the middle of nowhere, Singing and laughing will die..."

As Shaza disappeared from view, the youth went into the room slowly where his crew use to be. He found nothing... not a single trace of anyone. It was like they hadn't existed at all. From the left of the room, a small screen could be seen flicking. The boy hesitantly approached the screen to see Shaza entering its view. The ship camera catching the words he continued to sing. 

"Dreamless Sleep follows the Nowhere king~! When his kingdom comes, Darkness is nigh~! Quiet~! Crawl to the in-between, Silent~! Secretive feeling of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies~! You will bring~ Joy to the nowhere king~!"

At the last part the boy watched as Shaza looked over his shoulder at him one final time.

"When he sees the light leaving your eeeeyeees~!"

As the eerie tune was continued to be whistled, the youth watched in terror while the majin made his escape.
