Nothing made sense.
No matter how everyone looked at him, this was not the person they expected. Nor was this the person who had started the fight. Somehow. Some way. Clark had changed completely through the fight.
His group knew well that he had begun to send them away so that he could use the demon contract item he had. The joker card was something that they had no idea how he had gotten. But when Maria feared for his safety, she had managed to leave the group and head in to battle again.
They had all seen her fall. All seen her get injured right in front of Clark. However, the next movement was blurred. Everything had become heavy with different energies. Then the next moment, Clark's entire being had changed. He was fighting with completely new appearances. Completely new power.
