#leopard demon

Colour scheme not decided yet, so have a Pride version of him :) Text-wall under the cut:

Look it's mostly der the drama.

Red Son fake leaving behind DBK just so he can take the Leopard Demon by surprise. Still, Red's power was already low, once he attacks the big cat he's left mostly defenseless and DBK, who already had to fight the leopard for a good while before Red came back, can only watch as his son gets violently thrown against a wall while he struggles to get up.

But before Leopard can take out Red permanently, they get shoved back by a strong wind and in front of them, down comes Iron Fan with a gaze that could cut a person in two and the leopard demon sees why the Bull King fell in love with the demoness in the first place.

It's so sweet. And considering DBKs volume control, red son and iron fan definitely heard him say it.

Perhaps leopard tries one final trick. Throws dirt into dbks eyes and goes after iron fan and red one last time in a bid to take one or both of DBKs "precious family" down with him since he's going to die anyway.

He is then promptly caught in a flaming tornado from iron fan and red son combining their powers.

And so he's finished off, not by dbk, but his "weak" family.

What a great way to end this!

...

"lol nope. It must be this weak new era that is wrong."

Leopard: shows up and kicks his ass

DBK: ... Dang it

During his bear down leopard tries to argue that he'd have made a better son for dbk than Red focusing on how he'd have been too powerful/skilled to be used against him or drag him down. Only for dbk to punch him through a wall or into a mountain saying he knows Red is a better son to him than anyone else could be. That his family doesn't make him weak. That he knows this because when he lost everything, was imprisoned, and forced to rebuild everything he had from the ground up Iron Fan and Red Son were the only ones there and who never abandoned or gave up on him. Even when it meant sacrificing five centuries of their own lives to finding a way to revive and support him. DBK admits that he hungers for power because his strength is/was the only reason most people (mortal or demon) respected, feared, or had anything to do with him.

His wife and son, tho, would care for and be with him even if he wasn't all powerful.

And that's the difference that counts.

Oh and of course I've heard suggestions he traps her in, like, a magic bottle. Which I love. So can I suggest that leopard, in all his lack of intelligence crushes a fake bottle to make red and DBK think he just killed iron fan.

He thought it was a great bit psychological warfare. Two seconds later reds an inferno and smashing him through a boulder.

Leopard gets their hands on the fan if we're assuming LMK Iron Fan can't shrink it down and hide it in her mouth like OG Iron Fan could.

Their relationship isn't the best, and red knows it, but she's HIS mother and he'll be damned, personal insecurity or no, if anyone treats her with anything but respect.

Which is a long way of saying that leopard might just make that list of reasons for red, personally, to hate the guy even longer.

Leopard Demon is getting one hell of an ass beating regardless of who gives it to him.

Naturally red refuses and insists he doesn't have the energy. DBK snaps that he knows damn well how reds powers work and that he can tell he's had the ability to teleport himself out for awhile and is just waiting to have the power to get them BOTH out. Even having foregone using the full extent of his powers to defend himself to do so.

Bonus if demon hears this and gets pissed at the implication red was holding back.
