Harmonia makes it to her backyard. Moth. She lays down. Isaac steps out and picks up a rock before chucking it at Harmonia. It dinks off of her bug body. "BITCH????" She sits up and throws a rock back at Isaac.
Isaac ducks, "Oh shit- you're a person"
"Yes. Yes I am a person" She huffs. "Crocodile man."
"Why are you in our yard?" Isaac walks up
"Cause I live here sometimes." She shrugs. "Im Harmonia. Used to be the white girl with butterfly wings"
Isaac squints as the gears try to turn in his head, "I'll be frank with you, I have the memory of vhs player"
"I was at the tournament. This is my house?" She says, leaning on her hand
Frank pops out from underneath the house's crawlspace. "...Looks like an alien to me." He slinks back under the house.
"Oh, the tournament, man that's been forever. I thought you died." Isacc says. Cole walks out of the backdoor and leans on the house as he stares at Harmonia.
"I did" Harmonia shrugs and looks at Cole. "Hi"
"Also this is your house? You always just let people sneak in and sleep here?" Isaac asks.
Harmonia shrugs. "Yeah. I mean its basically a halfway house now. But I grew up here so i still consider it mine."
"A what now?"
"Just like. a public house."
"Or a house for insane people," Cole shrugs. Kade walks out and runs at Harmonia to try and tackle her. It works! She screams. Afterwards he gets off of her and smiles. Isaac jumps some at the scream
"Bitch." Harmonia pokes him Kade the stomach. For fun. Feels cheesy. There's cheese in her fur now.
"You two dating or something?"
She recoils and wipes the cheese on the grass. "Nah. Just good friends."
"Good cuz if you were I had some devastating news about someone named Orpheus," Isaac says.
"What." Kade replies.
"Yeah I'm aware theyre gay as hell," Harmonia shrugs and stands up. Large.
"Dammit now you're taller then me" Cole chuckles
"I could fix that"
"Isaac no"
"How so???" Harmonia looks at Isaac quizzically
"Cole, how do you feel about high heels?"
".....oh I could wear high heels.."

Some time later...
---
Cole starts walking over to Harmonia. Isaac glances over at Cole as his nose bleeds some. Cole smiles as he stares up at Harmonia. Harmonia pats his head. Cole looks fucking boggled and just freezes up. She scritches his head. Her claws makes it a really good scritch. Cole isn't in wrath form as he just blinks at Harmonia.
Kade lays over in the grass "Surrounded by homos..." Luna could make the joke, but she won't. Harmonia stares back and continues petting. Isaac wipes the blood from his own nose.
"I am not your pet Harmonia" Cole keeps staring
"No, youre not. Are you gonna eat me or not?" She doesnt stop petting since he hasnt said to stop. Isaac looks between Harmonia and Cole with wide eyes. "Dont worry Isaac, I'm a lesbian" She chuckles. Cole tries to bite Harmonia's arm. Doesn't do much. Carapace moment. Cole bites down harder as he groans.
"Honestly don't bother. I tried." Kade chuckles.
Harmonia just watches and yawns "Ever heard of an exoskeleton?"
"Exoskeletons still feel pain, careful"
Cole stops biting for a second and mutters, "I love crab meat!" Cole then clamps down on Harmonia's arm with the force of an hydraulic press. She cries out as her arm is sufficently crushed. She grabs his face and tries to throw him off her. Isaac steps back some. Kade sighs and covers his face. Cole lets go and snickers, "Ever heard of superhuman clamping force?"
Harmonia sneers, looking pissed off and clutching her crushed forearm. "Maybe I shouldnt fucking visit." Her forearm leaks black gunk like Thrall does and she starts walking into the woods.
"Great." Kade sighs.
"Oh come on.." Isaac grumbles
"Kicked out of her own home." Luna smh. She disappears.
"Don't boast about an exoskeleton if you don't want it to be tested!" Cole snaps back, "Just go eat a fuckin turkey drum or something"
"Maybe you shouldn't actively try to hurt a friend, huh?" Kade snaps his head towards Cole, tapping his foot.
Cole snaps his head towards Kade, "Then explain what happens when Orph attacks me? Is it not the same fuckin thing when you can heal easily?"
"I get it! You're stronger than me! Everyones stronger than me. Im sorry for wanting something and being happy about it for fucking once." She yells back before disappearing into the woods.
"Harmonia doesn't heal like a wrath demon does. Wrath demons are BUILT TO FIGHT." Kade starts to get physically hotter. Isaac sighs and walks back in the house
Cole rolls his eyes as his eyes flash purple , "WELL MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T ACT LIKE THEY ARE IF YOU ACT LIKE YOU'RE BUILT TO FIGHT YOUR GONNA GET TREATED LIKE SOMEONE WHO CAN"
Kade begins circling him. "MAYBE YOU SHOULD FUCKING LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JOKING LIKE A FRIEND AND A GENUINE Т 𝗛 𐒴 𝑬 𝘼 𝝩." He's getting physically taller, his shirt is tearing.
Cole's fingers turn featureless with rounded tips as his eyes swap to pink "WELL MAYBE HARMONIA NEEDS TO LEARN THAT IF YOU TALK SHIT ABOUT BEING TOUGH YOUR GONNA GET HIT, THAT'S HOW I WAS FUCKING RAISED" Cole's bones groan but nothing happens just yet as he starts to follow Kade's circling
He's still circling, literally steaming while his skin steadily darkens. "CONSIDER THIS, JACKASS. NOT EVERYONE GROWS UP LIKE YOU. AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE GODDAMN RIGHT TO PUSH IT ON EVERYONE ELSE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD KEEP THE FACT YOU'RE FUCKING FRIENDS AND IT'S A FUCKING J O K E BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO WOUND THEM FOR NO GODDAMN REASON OTHER THAN LITERALLY THE FUCK OF IT. Ϝ𝓤Ꮯ𝕂. 𝞤𐓂U."
Cole's bones groan again as his height starts climbing to 14ft tall, "MAYBE THAT'S THE ONLY FUCKING WAY I KNOW HOW TO ACT, HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THAT FOR CENTURIES I HAVE NEVER HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS" The halo starts to glow brighter "MAYBE I KNOW WE ARE FRIENDS AND I WANNA KEEP THAT BUT IT'S FUCKING HARD WHEN ALL I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT WAS TO CHALLENGE PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE STRONGER THEN ME IT'S IN MY GOD DAMN DNA" The sides of Cole's mouth start to look slightly melted
Kade's shirt is completely tearing at this point, his head cocks to the side as steam starts seep from his mouth, instinctively growling and clenching his teeth. "THEN MAYBE IT'𝘚 𝝉ﺍ𝔐𝔈 Ꭹ𝝈ሀ 𝖥ꓴᏟ𝜥𝐥𝙽𝒢 𝕷𝖤𝗔𝖱𝘕, 𝖑Ѕℕ'𐊗 ᛁ𝞽?"
The sides of Cole's mouth melt away as boiling tar pours out from the sides as he groans, "ʏɛǟɦ ʍǟʏɮɛ ɨȶ ʄʊƈӄɨռɢ ɨֆ ʍǟʏɮɛ ֆօʍɛօռɛ ֆɦօʊʟɖ ʄʊƈӄɨռɢ ȶɛǟƈɦ ʍɛ ɨռֆȶɛǟɖ օʄ ʏɛʟʟɨռɢ ǟȶ ʍɛ ǟռɖ ռօȶ ȶɛǟƈɦɨռɢ ʍɛ ʄʊƈӄɨռɢ ǟռʏȶɦɨռɢ" The pec window is bigger. Isaac becomes a popscile unaware that the window has become bigger. The bitter cold mocks them all for the ignorance in not knowing the reveal that has taken place
"𝚳𝖠𝖸𝕭Ｅ ꓑ𝙤ꓴⲚ𝐷𝐥𝓝𝙂 𝗬𝘰𝖀𝕽 𝚂Κ𝐔𝔏Ｌ 𝕝Ｎ𝐓𝘰 ꭲⲎ𝛦 𐌑Ӏ𝖣Ⅾꮮ𝓔 ⵔ𐊇 𝕋𝛨𝕰 𝐹𝐔𝐂𝒦Ｉɴꮐ ⋿𝞐Ｒ𝘛𝞖 𝕎𝙄ꮮ𝗟 𝐵𝚬 𝘈 𝗚ⵔ𝟘𝕯 ꓪ𝙰𝖸 ⊤０ 𝙶𝗘𝗧 𐊊ᴛ 𝒟𝕰𝐸𝞠𝙻𐊲 𝓔ᛖ𐊂ᴇ𝔻𝙳ℰᎠ l𝙽𝞽𝗼 ꓬO𝑼𝓡 𝚩ꮢ𝐴l𝐍." Kade's head fully shifts to the side as the two other ones grow in. Rapidly climbing in height as he stops circling. He stands where he is closest to the forest and steam continues to pour from the left head.
"ʏօʊ ƈǟռ ʄʊƈӄɨռɢ ȶʀʏ քօʊռɖɨռɢ ʍɛ ɨռȶօ ȶɦɛ ɛǟʀȶɦ ռօȶɦɨռɢ ʏօʊ ƈǟռ ɖօ աɨʟʟ ɦʊʀȶ ʍɛ ǟֆ ʍʊƈɦ ǟֆ աɦǟȶ ɖɛǟȶɦ ɖɨɖ ɖʊʀɨռɢ ʍʏ ƈʀɛǟȶɨօռ" Cole stands in an aggressive fighting stance as he stares kade down
"Ｇہ𐐄𝙳 𐊥𐊒𝕽 𝐹ＵᏟ𝑲ﺎꓠ𝐺 Уꓳꓴ." He stares back, cracking each of their necks and giving a huff, sending out smoke in the process.
Cole flares his nostrils at kade as he cracks his neck as his halo glows bright enough to blind him "ɨ ɦօքɛ ʏօʊ ƈǟռ ƈօʍɛ ȶօ ʏօʊʀ ֆɛռֆɛֆ ɮɛʄօʀɛ ɨ ɦǟʋɛ ȶօ ƈʀʊֆɦ ʏօʊ ɮɛռɛǟȶɦ ʍɛ ʟɨӄɛ ǟռ ǟռȶ"
Sparrow steps outside.
All of the heads begin to cackle. Loudly. It's enough to quake the ground as they do, slowly dying down as Cerberus clenches his fists. He currently stands at about 30ft. "𝗚𝒜ꓣ𝔑𝐄Ⲧ. 𝑰'Ⅾ 𝖠ＬＭ𐐬𝕊𝞣 ℂ𝐨𝙉Տ𝞘ᴅ𐊆ᚱ 𝝪०𝚄 𝗤ሀƖᎢ𝓔 𝑇ℍꓰ ꓝ𝚄𐐕𝓚Ⲓ𝖭𝖦 🝌𝗼𝖬Е𝕯l𝓐ℕ." "ꓬ০𝕌 𝚁𝜠𝞐𝖫𝗟𝚼 𐌕𝛨ℐ𝙽𝐾 𝙔𝘖𝚄 𝓒𝖠𝖭 𝗧𝑨ꮮⲔ 𝑫ס𝐖𝑵 Ⲧ౦ 𐌑𝜠." "𝚼ꬽ𝖴'ℛ𝝚. 𝗛𝓘Ｌ𝞐ꮢⅼ𝟘𝗨𝙎."

"𝙵ᑌ𝕮𝐊Ɩ𝙉𝗚 ⴹᴀ𝗦𝛶." Cerberus just rushes at him, aiming to just grab his entire body at this point. Cole's body is grabbed as he growls and snarls as boiling black tar seeps from his clothes and skin as he spits on Cerb with boiling tar. Cerberus grasps him firmly and begins to crush his entire body. It feels as if an entire planet had decided to weigh down on him and his body was collapsing in on itself. The tar does nothing to effect him, and the tar lands on one of the skulls, just sliding down it, basically with no effect. Sparrow seems tiny due to their sizes when fighting and keeps her arms folded as she taps her foot. Cole groans as he bones snap and crunch as he growls in pain as metal strips wrap around Cerberus's necks and starts cooling down to -300 degrees as frost forms at Cole's feet.
He doesn't react to it all too much, other than an audible grunt, but the effects of such are as clear as day. Looks like fur might be falling off? Cerberus grips Cole harder, before bringing him up close to the main head, who begins opening its jaws. He tries to outright bite off his head. The metal strips on the main head shift to the main heads muzzle and tighten down as it cools down to -400, Cole is squirming and pushing against the head with all of his strength Sparrow blinks some while watching and turns to head back inside. Cerb growls loudly and tries to bite down harder and sink in his teeth. An influx of smoke seeps out of the main head's mouth as a glow settles in the back of its throat.
Cole closes his eyes as frost covers Cole's head as the metal strips relax as does he as he mutters quietly, "Death unto thee"
The main head begins to breath out flames from its jaws, as it does, he repeatedly tries to bite down over and over. Eventually just biting down and holding it there, the hand now trying to pull and tear away. The frost shatters in it's mouth as black smoke that burns to breathe in but actually is -700 degrees in temperature releases from it as Cole's head stretches like a rubber band. Cerb gives a cough at most, growling even louder before he shifts Cole's body deeper into his mouth, biting into his torso. The other two heads lean in to the first, both aiming at cole as they fire directly into him. The fire gets hotter with the combination of the two, burning hot enough to melt stone. Cole, now deeper in his mouth, stabs his pointed fingers into the roof of Cerb's mouth and starts dragging his claws through it; The tar coating Cole's skin boils and bubbles as it seemly has no effect on Cole. The hand releases its grip on cole, but in turn, two heads individually grab one leg and tear away from the other.
Cole's legs are ripped off as he screams in pain and slams the both of his claws into roof of his mouth hard enough to shatter human bone, Cole's blood has been replaced with tar that bleeds out of his stumps as tar starts cauterizing the wounds. There's a loud, audible CR A C K. And everything goes silent. Everything goes stiff and unmoving, and all of the heads fall silent. And within the mouth steadily grows hotter, and hotter, and continues to heat up rapidly to the point the tar begins to bubble and boil even more. Raw, feral snarling and growling bubbles out of each of the heads. Two of the heads ravenously try to reach and tear at him, before the main head bites down with the bite force best comparable to an unforgiving forging iron. Afterwards, the main head shifts cole deeper into its mouth and swallows. And the heat prior, continues to get worse with every moment, entering what's hotter than an active volcano. Cole fucking sneezes right before the head bites down on him, Cole dies from the bite force and getting swallowed; the tar coats his throat as Cole is swallowed.
The main head hacks a little, before all three heads continue growling and look around the general area. All eyes fall upon the house, the entry to the kitchen in particular, and he begins to try and tear his way into it.
There's a loud and very distinct kerchunk. 13 tungsten rods impale Cerberus before he can come close to reacting due to them moving at speeds of Mach 2, they rip clean through his chest and arms as one stray rod pierces through the main heads neck. There's a loud, earth-quaking roar that comes out of all three heads. The ground practically begins to break underneath him, as he just gets bigger. Pulling the rod out of his neck and snarling ferally as he rapidly begins to climb to 50ft. He swats away HALF OF THE KITCHEN as he looks around for the source and snarls louder.
Cerberus disappears with what is essentially a flashbang accompanied by the ear-bleeding sound of a church bell shattering.

Harmonia arrives at Walmart, grabbing a lighter and lighter fluid. She goes outside and sits near a tree, placing her ring on her wedding finger and dousing it in lighter fluid. She takes a deep breath, holding the lighter to her hand before flicking it on, screaming as her hand starts to melt, the ring becoming one with it. She huffs and groans in pain, waiting for the flame to subside. When it does, she looks at her hand, the ring burned onto it, and focuses. In a moment, shes her human form again, but devoid of scars and anything supernatural. Her arm's still crushed in human form and she sighs, swapping back and heading back to Claire's house.
