Chapter Summaries

Kyle and the Weasley Twins began modifying the giant squid with an alchemical control chip and a second respiratory system, while preparing to fuse its bloodline with Re'em essence. They left the Jinchuriki Plan as an additional safeguard against the squid turning hostile.

• George cleaned the laboratory and summoned a rune-inscribed iron cage with another pull of the chains.
• Kyle restored the giant squid to its full size inside the cage, kept it breathing with a water prison, and Cedric added anesthetic.
• Kyle prepared concentrated Re'em blood essence for a full bloodline-fusion experiment after successfully testing it on a piece of the squid's tentacle.
• George and Fred opened the squid's body to implant an alchemical chip designed to influence its subconscious and keep it loyal to the Four Troublemakers.
• Kyle and Cedric modified the squid's respiratory system so it could fight on land as well as underwater.
• The Four Troublemakers relied on the chip, protections for Hogwarts students, and the Jinchuriki Plan as safeguards against the squid becoming violent.

• Kyle and Cedric reshaped two of the squid's tentacles into arms, completing its modification into the Eight-Tails Ox-Demon.

After their first choices rejected the Eight-Tails Ox-Demon, George and Fred decided to make their younger brother Ron Weasley its Jinchuriki. They persuaded Ron to become their test subject by comparing him unfavorably to the powerful people around him.

• Ron suspected his brothers wanted a test subject, but Fred and George's taunts and comparisons wore him down until he agreed.

Fred and George secretly took Ron to the Chamber of Secrets, where Kyle and Cedric prepared an Eight-Tails Ox-Demon Bloodline Fusion Potion for him. Ron hesitated to drink it, and Kyle challenged him not to refuse the gift.

• Kyle created an armored Wood Golem and Fred supplied a huge ball of Blasting Clay to attack the Eight-Tails Ox-Demon in the lake.
• The Eight-Tails Ox-Demon burst from the water, and Kyle's Wood Golem struck it unconscious with the Tail Beast Subduing Hand.

Ron became the first person to receive the Eight-Tails Ox-Demon’s power, but learned he could not use it without gaining the creature’s recognition or taming it. As Hogwarts’ final Quidditch match decided the Cup, Harry caught the Snitch and secured Gryffindor’s victory over Hufflepuff.
