Laz reached out and brought the girls a bit closer to him. As it was, he was sitting on a small lip on the edge of the pool that kept his head and most of his upper body out of the pool. The girls had dunked themselves in fully before being overcome by the surging energy, so to keep them from accidently drowning, Laz felt that he should keep a hold of them.
And that wasn't going to be easy.
Both girls were twisting and spasming in pain as the waves of energy from the water shocked their systems over and over again. Ruby was a bit more lucky than Leona as she was able to find some relief by using her partial transformation. Once the scales covered the various parts of her body, it helped to reduce the pain, but only slightly.
Laz, who in an effort to keep Leona and Ruby from drowning, had no choice but to grab on to their bathing suits and use them like a leash. After seeing Ruby use her transformation though, Laz couldn't help but frown.
