While Elric was still unconsciously evolving inside a burning cocoon, Lesse did not have the slightest of intention to protect him. Her pride, envy, and frustration from not getting the Ancestral Dragon's Essence fueled her with madness to face the incoming enemies.
The fire burned furiously in her heart which makes her, even more, stronger and fiercer,
Five fighter jets continued to surround her kilometers away from her. They don't seem to attack her right away and that shot appears to be a test on her.
A few seconds later, another Fighter Jet fired a missile towards her. Lesse replied with another flaming breath and turned it to dust accompanied by an explosion.
"Bugs! Why don't you come closer and let me burn you into crisp!" Lesse shouted furiously towards the distancing Fighting Jets. Slowly she started gathering fire in her mouth as she prepares for a powerful attack.

Contrary to the furious dragon he is observing, Arkhoz did not dare to be reckless and continued to send testing shots towards the dragon. He is also aware of a bright burning ball floating peacefully in the air where the Dragon girl came from.
It was his first time to see a huge ball of fire that doesn't seem to burn its surroundings.
"Commander, do you see that huge cocoon-shaped ball of fire?" said one his men.
"That kind of fire seems to be the one recorded in the secret records. If I am not mistaken, that is their so-called Essence of a dragon that accumulates from their cores if they are old enough." Arkhoz replied.
"As expected of the commander, not only he is a brilliant fighter but a knowledgable commander as well." commented by one of his men.
"Stop being a sucker and focus on the plan!" Arkhoz commanded with authority.
"Now let's take this dragon down. Whatever that burning ball is, we can deal with it later since it doesn't seem to move for now. Let's focus on that dragon girl for now." Arkhoz added.
"Strike team A, copy that."
"Strike team B, affirmative."
"Isolation team, ready to adjust! All surroundings clear!"
"Good, now on my lead!"

Five homing missiles suddenly sprouted from each Fighter Jets. They all came from different directions and different angles! Unlike the previous shots, this missile looks different!
"So you finally choose to get serious bugs?!" Lesse let go of the fire currently accumulating in her mouth. She danced elegantly in the air completing 360 degrees. The fire in her mouth suddenly flowed away like a dancing rope accurately blocking each missile despite coming from different directions and exploded simultaneously.
"You got to do better than that!" Shouted Lesse.
"Hmp!." A smile crept out of Arkhoz's smile. "let's freeze you first for the dinner later."
Suddenly the fires from the explosion of the missiles changed in color from bright red to blue. The air temperature surrounding Lesse dropped significantly. She felt like she was inside a freezing box and her body significantly slowed.
Lesse started to drop to the ground as she struggled to keep herself flying.
Lesse is a royal dragon with a mixed elemental attribute of fire and earth which is incredibly weak against ice attacks!
"Strike Team B now!" commanded Arkhoz in a hurry. In response, the Strike team B which is made up of two members of the Strike Team came flying from the top Lesse's top side, raining her with energy beams that caused Lesse to stagger down in pain with each successful hits!
"You are going down!" One of the pilots shouted.
"Not enough!" Lesse suddenly bursted with more power from her core. Her fire shifted in color as well from red to green! The earth element that she has in her blood allowed her to have the natural ability of super healing and an improved defense!
She started glowing in green and her body is now like a flying sword capable of slicing almost everything!
