On that fateful night, atop a cliff overlooking the valley below, two binder groups of four were face to face with a Gold Grade Magnamane and a pride of twenty other lionesque monsters and mundane lions. Simply speaking, they were outnumbered...but outmatched? Not likely.
In a brilliant cascade of light, eight binders summoned eight majimonsters of varying breeds and affinities. Six of the summoned monsters were at least silver grade middle tier, making them more than a match for the bronze grade high tier and silver grade low tier Lionyxes and Sparkfangs. The two leaders, my parents, had to deal with the Magnamane, and they held nothing back.
At the time, both of my parents had high tier Silver grade monsters as their strongest monsters. If it was one on one, they would've been destroyed by the Magnamane but two against one? They had more than a chance.
My father had summoned a Boltdachs. He described it as a badger-like monster made of lightning and fury, with blue and yellow fur and electricity jumping in its claws. He figured he would match the Magnamane blow for blow and make use of the Boltdachs' tenacity to wear it out and capture it.
My mother on the other hand decided to summon a Midastaur to smash it into submission. She said Midastaur was this humanoid monster with a bull's head, horns of gold, eyes like gemstones and skin like marble. The most fearsome aspect of it was that its horns could petrify whatever it gored into a golden statue, granted the effect only lasted for an hour or so.
My parents recalled that the fierce aura of these two groups of majimonsters facing off felt like two fierce armies standing off, each side waiting for the other to charge first or fire the first arrow at the other. Nature itself seemed to agree with the tension, because they recall feeling the air pressure drop and storm clouds manifesting above them. They don't remember which side fired off the first technique, but it was enough of a spark for the battle to begin.
The battle was intense. The night sky was alight with dozens of techniques being fired off one after the other. Monsters on both sides became horribly wounded, some returning to the aether while some of the gutsier binders proceeded to bind some of the lion monsters mid-battle. Despite the chaos however, the battle between the Magnamane and my parents was the centerpiece of it all.
At the climax of the battle, both of my parents attempted to bind the Magnamane, but they failed. The monster was either too strong or their rituals conflicted with each other, either way, they angered it and it retaliated in kind. With a mighty roar that shook the heavens and stunned all the participants of the battle, it slammed a paw into the ground and released an Earthquake technique, shattering the cliff they were on and sending it, my parents and their monsters into the valley floor below them!
They thought they were going to die that night.
