## Introduction

**Schrade Forging Zone: Resurrection of Cwenos?!**

At the Schrade Forging Zone a Conquest War Fatalis walks towards something. The dragon is clearly wounded and aged, showing with scars and its noticeable limp towards the thing it wishes to do something with. It clears away rubble away from the object, revealing it to be a dead Cwenos, killed by hunters who had came to this place. Fatalis is clearly angry how his creation he spent long to create greatly now lies as dead as the monsters that were murdered to make it. However, he decides this creation deserves another chance after seeing its powers before his very eyes. The Black Dragon puts his hands next to the dulled scales of the Cwenos, the Black Flame enveloping them. The scales on his arms crack, blood begins to leak onto the body. The Black Flames seems to react to it with a bright cyan glowing of the scales. Blood of the Black Dragon flows into the Cwenos and begins to take colour again. Once the body of the Cwenos is completely engulfed in the Black Flame the Fatalis makes a dark roar. Pebbles and dust are launched away from a burst of the power from the renewed tail. And just after the tail glows anew the Cwenos is reanimated, its scales now black all over with no signs of the brown hide that strewn it together before. The Cwenos expels brown blood, its old blood from its body and then seals its vessels shut as soon as red blood starts squirting. Fatalis is pleased, his creation is now truly a creature of flesh and blood. To its downside, the resurrection has weakened the Dragon even more, with it falling to its fours after its completion. The moment lasts next to no time, to Fatalises despair. Cwenos snarls at hunters walking into the zone, the same hunters who slew Cwenos before, in addition to wounding the Fatalis. The Black Dragon of destruction's eyes glow with rage having a flashback to what the hunters have done to it, crippling the image of itself with their weapons of unnatural material, attacked and killed its guard and left it in a humiliating way, and even managed to ruin the Fatalises status among the other variants of the Fatalis species, they now see him as a failure. As if it had just been revived it arises up and roars loudly in full strength and torpedoes up skyward and then behind the Cwenos. It makes a sinister sound to it, which is nothing to the hunters, but to Cwenos it is words. To Cwenos he makes his order clear: *Cwenos! Now that you're returned to full power, you MUST not let these hunters live any longer! Failure is not an option. KILL THEM ALL!!*. The Fatalis then heads to the ramparts and falls down, still feeling the wounds. Cwenos slowly prowls towards the hunters with its evil glare. Immediately once it gets close it roars in a ghostly light to instantly go into its rage mode power and lock it there. The Black Flame gathers in its mouth and the hunt begins with the hunters having to avoid its Dark Pulse attack.

## Appearance Differences

This Variant has the base appearance of the ordinary Cwenos in its second phase, having the side horns and denser fire aura emitting from its tail. The Blackfated Cwenoses scales and essentially its entire body are shades of black with only the claws, horns and wing membrane still remaining blue, though now stronger in colouration. Occasionally hunters can seen blue energy pass through its scales.

## Rage and Tired States

* **Enraged**: Blue energy will flow through its scales.
* **Tired**: There is no tired state for this Variant.

## Battle Themes

### First Theme

Plays during the solo fight with the Blackfated Cwenos.

## Attacks

Blackfated Cwenos keeps all the previous attacks the regular version has in its Black Flame mode.

* **Triple Bite**: Cwenos shakes its jaws and then goes into a three move combo where it bites forward to the left, right, then center.
* **Triple Dark Pulse**: In the style of a Rathian it will shoot three Dark Pulses in succession.
* **Double Charge**: Now it can do a double up on its charge attack. Whenever it is going to do so it will spin its body around and sweep its tail, knocking away any hunters. This combo can easily catch hunters off guard.
* **Explosive Spikes**: When it does its Spikes Shoot attack now if they hit a solid place they will actually become struck in the stone. After two seconds they will glow blue and explode. Those with jaggered edges create shrapnel that causes Bleeding.
* **Tail Beam**: Cwenos extends its arms to its sides and raise its tail to channel power of the Black Flame to its spikes. After this channel it will fire a beam from its tail at hunters.
* **Circle Tail Beam**: While in the midst of its charging of the attack and hunters are separated it'll do this to not waste the attack. Once the power reaches its tail it'll snarl and jump up and spin around a single time. During the entirety of the spin it'll fire its beam. The height it jumps is randomised which makes this attack much more dangerous.
* **Warping Ringed Dark Pulses**: It will prepare its Ringed Dark Pulse for slightly longer. What results is a challenging variant that continuously expands and shrinks over time.
* **Ground Blaster**: Cwenos swings its head to the side and takes a step backwards with a violent twisting fire in its jaws. It shall then fling the projectile at close range right into the ground. The attack is not aimed to precisely strike hunters, but to hit them off guard with the resulting ground bursts that result from this attack and the stones that fly from the blasts to stun them.
* **Double Mind Breaker Roar**: Should the Mind Breaker Roar have a slight delay, it'll do the attack twice in a row.

**Master's Interruption**: Once the Cwenos has taken enough damage the Conquest War Fatalis will be shown again as Cwenos falls down. Realising that its creation is about to die again its roars in new rage and awakens its own Black Flame power around it as its body parts turn a light blue. The Fatalis then jumps off the bridge it is on and flies towards Cwenos. Just before hunters can reach it, the Fatalis lands right in front of them, knocking the hunters back. The Black Dragon although clearly injured still has much intimidation behind its presence alone and begins walking towards a single hunter, the one who selected the quest. Before the others can help Cwenos recovers and slams its claws down. A shockwave of Black Flame surrounds the hunters, trapping them for Cwenoses next plan. Using its mysterious ability of telekinesis with the flame of black it raises its claws, along with a wall of stone all around the hunters. The Fatalis manages to grab the hunter and throws him/her in the air at an extreme height. The three other hunters climbing skills pay off as they manage to climb out of the Cwenoes trap right before it detonates it. Fate seems sealed for the falling hunter as Fatalis comes gliding at him/her with jaws wide open ready to crunch bone. In a split second of luck the hunter evades the maw and strikes the Black Dragon in the chest with his/her weapon, connection between which creates a shockwave. Safe, the hunter manages to land okay, with Fatalis plummeting to the earth. Both the three other hunters and Cwenos look at the dragon, the sight of which makes it look dead. To the hunters dismay and Cwenoses relief the Fatalis arises clutching its bleeding chest, the flesh that is hidden by scale and shell now visible. With it noticing the wound it roars skyward and creates ominous rings of clouds up above. It mumbles the sounds from before that are only understandable to it and hunters wearing armour of a Black Dragon: *Cwenos.. You cannot let them slay me. You must defend this place and me with your own life!*. Cwenos acknowledges and goes back into attack formation with Fatalis now ready to join the battle.

**Now with Fatalis by its side Cwenos gains some new attacks**

* **Cwenoses Trap**: See above
* **Ring Turret**: Fatalis will yell at Cwenos and make it fly up high into one of the clouds it has formed. Cwenos then hovers in the cloud and begins firing Ringed Dark Pulses in rapid succession. The aim and speed of the shots makes this quite deadly.
* **The Master's Fire Is Its Too**: Whenever Fatalis uses its wall of fire breath Cwenos can use it just like its own fire.
* **Batter Up For Dragon Balls**: If Fatalis calls down its spheres of dragon element Cwenos can use its tail to launch them midair at hunters.
* **Fireball Tactic**: Both Cwenos and Fatalis use their Fireball attacks at the same time at each other. On impact they both explode into a fiery wave of destruction that ravages the ground level.
* **Spike Mirrors**: In certain situations when Cwenos flings its spikes Fatalis will find a use for them. It shall fire its Black Flame beam at one, making it travel to another and cause the one it was at to explode. The beam travels across them until it reaches the last, where it stays at to make a far larger explosion than normal.
* **The Fatal Combination**: Cwenos and Fatalis both prepare their most strongest attacks in unison. Just as it looks like its going to be them only doing their biggest attacks at the same time, it becomes much worse. As Cwenos gains the Death Ball on its tail, it will circle Fatalises Death Ball with it. The two circling around it makes the Death Ball become larger and more violent, causing strikes of dragon lightning to hit the area with flashing. Just as the Death Ball is about to reach the ground Fatalis blows a blue wind on Cwenos to act as a shield. With it, it actually flies into the Death Ball and adds its own to it, further increasing its size and instability, which at this point hunters can be sucked into it. Cwenos then glides out of it unharmed and next to Fatalis they both do a dark roar at the Death Ball, sending it to the ground immediately and makes it detonate. An gigantic explosion occurs, of which rivals that of the Disaster Sphere attack from the Dasamios. The blast travels right into the sky, sweeps across all ground level places, disintegrates all buildings in its impact zone and creates a bright flash that affects the entire map. In the aftermath the two dive bomb to the ground and land, giving a roar of triumph. Any hunter hit by the impact of the Death Ball will be one shot at maximum defence with full health while those struck by the shockwave will be sent flying back with massive damage. And those who are sucked into the Death Ball suffer an unavoidable instant faint.

## Ascension Cutscene

There are two ways this cutscene will begin: Should enough damage be done to Cwenos, or if Fatalis takes enough damage.

If Cwenos is the one who reaches near death, it will fall down again in injury. As all four hunters prepare the final attack Fatalis will suddenly warp Cwenos and it's places with its dark power, resulting in Fatalis taking the final blow instead. Also, the energy fully restores Cwenoses health and body to perfect status.

If Fatalis is fully depleted of its health it will stammer backwards for a bit and then will start the cutscene.

Fatalis, having taken too much injury for it to further handle looks in disbelief, taking aloft to try and regenerate. Nothing happens, and Fatalis howls into the sky and then violently falls down, becoming motionless. Suddenly a circle of Black Flame from Fatalis kicks hunters away from it, as Cwenos rushes in a panic for its master. The Black Flame becomes a dome, preventing hunters from intervening from the event that is about to happen. Cwenos approaches Fatalis, its bloodstained maw indicating that the dragon is done for. It rears its head up to give one final speech: *Cwenos. I have failed... Failed to defend the mark of my triumph... My death.. will be heard through the entire planet! You.... You must take up.. take my power... With it.. you shall become... even greater than even I! You shall become a fear all living things respect! My.. time is done... your rule.. is.. nigh...*. With that, the Legendary Black Dragon, Fatalis, dies. One with a very forgiving soul could feel sad for it, but all others feel a great sense of freedom and joy with the dragon's evil gone. With its death, the sky clears, and it looks like hunters will get to slay the Cwenos for good this time. With shocked looks in their faces, they see the clouds darken once again, and the ground begins to shake as the Cwenoses eyes glow intensely. It grabs the corpse of the Fatalis with its claws and tail in a raptor like way, beginning violent waves of power once again. A chaotic whirlwind rushes around Cwenos, gradually increasing in speed as it absorbs all of Fatalises power into it, which despite now dead, has every last bit of power it had when it was at full strength. Cwenos then gets upon its hind legs and stands in an outstretched position to begin its fusion of its power and Fatalises. Black Flame erupts from the Fatalis, which Cwenos absorbs in full with every wave. The four hunters have to evacuate the area as the power becomes too much for them. The very body of Fatalis is absorbed into the Cwenos, now nothing but a blue outline. With all the power absorbed a pure white orbs engulfs Cwenos as it curls up floating airborne. It makes a far reaching growl that echos many times. All the forms of power the Black Flame has circle the Cwenos at extreme speeds with an ear piercing sound. Then, the Cwenos yells out and then spreads itself out with a tremendous roar as it fully morphs the Fatalises powers with its own. A blue light envelops literally everything around the Schrade so much, it is the only able to be seen.

As the chaos dies once again, the sky becomes visible. It lacks the eclipse and is now black and blue with motionless stormy clouds. Rocks rain from the sky as the new beast awakens. The Cwenos is no more, it is something much worse. The four hunters struggle to get up after such a transformation and shock of the blast of energy. They look motionless at the thing that stands where Cwenos once was, only to see a black, cloaked figure. It raises its arms and to their great shock, speaks to them in a low, masculine voice. *You fools. Because of your selfish actions, I have now fully achieved my true, perfect form! I no longer am a lowly guard, I now am the successor to the Fatalis! My name now, shall be... Cwealis. A simple name, but effective in bringing the fact that no longer am I a wyvern, but dragon! Let it be known across the entire world! You didn't slay the Blackness, you awoke it! Begone hunters! Leave now and never return!*. As it says that last line Cwealis reveals its new shape. And its makes a grave warning... *Should you trend upon this stone ever again... I will make sure that I bring forth a second war upon your world, and exterminate the entirety of you humans, and the rest of undraconic origin shall follow.*. A blue mist is then emitted from the cloak like wings of Cwealis that hides it and the Schrade Forging Zone from sight. The scene ends with hunters running away, seemingly feeling guilt over what they have done.

This would only be the beginning of their battles with this mind-defying Black Dragon...

## Trivia

* Blackfated Cwenos was originally just included as an introductory section in the Cwealis page.
	+ Chaoarren separated Blackfated into its own page and made into a Variant as to streamline the Cwealis page as to only focus on that monster, and make the section that mentioned it into its own creation.
* The requirements to unlock Blackfated Cwenos are the way they are as they involve monsters that appear in this monster's quest (Conquest War Fatalis) and the Cwealis (Shadow Cantios).
