As the group begins to rise to their feet, Igao approaches.
"With the look on your faces, I can only wonder what you all plan to do next."
[Iago]
"Don't worry about that so much."
[Twilight]
As Twilight begins exchanging blows with Iago, both Lepricus & Gixoh begin to activate their skills. Once fully coated with their elements they joined the battle.
Approaching Iago & Twilight, you could see the battle was one-sided. Twilight was unable to hold his ground, blocking the best he could with his daggers. With a swing of both their weapons Gixoh & Lepricus joined the battle. Blocking both with his fist Iago pushed the two back. Liam appearing from the shadows behind him throws an onslaught of arrows at Iago. Iago leaps himself into the air, dodging a few though not all.
"It seems like you've each grown. Good, I no longer need to hold back."
[Iago, says smiling as he lands]
Iago dashed his way to Liam, grabbing his arm, turning him around putting him into a hold. With Liam struggling to get lost Iago begins to twist his arm further back.
"It looks like this would be a good chance at practice."
[Iago, to himself]
Iago begins to activate a skill. His hard-shelled arms begin to pulsate as he grips Liam harder into the hold. Liam begins to scream in pain for help. Both Sirisa and Temti join in to aid Liam. Sending their Dacqui Skills at him, though he was unphased.
As Liam's arm begins to crack, Obitiga shoots off a fury of arrows hitting Iago's arm causing him to let go.
"Even though my Harden Skill, he was able to cause damage."
[Iago, thinking to himself as he removes the arrow]
Not slowing down, Obitiga continues firing off his arrows. With Sirisa and Temti following close behind.
"Those three are especially going to be trouble for me if I don't get rid of them soon."
[Iago, to himself as he dodges Obitigas arrows]
"Lepricus I have an idea."
[Gixoh]
As Twilight and Lepricus discuss with Rion and the others their intentions, Obitiga was still sending arrows at Iago.
"I wonder what they are discussing. Maybe I should…"
[Iago]
Barely dodging it Iago noticed more than just arrows were coming at him now. It looks like Sirisa, Temti, and Liam joined in on the range onslaught. With more coming at him Iago was unable to do anything but dodge.
"There goes my chance I guess. This group of five, are a lot stronger than I thought."
[Iago]
"Wait...1..2...3..4..5. I'm more than sure there were more of them a moment ago. Where did they…"
[Iago, confused]
At that moment Twilight appeared on the front right side of Iago. Not only him but Lepricus coming from the back left. With the two of them already coming in for the attack, Iago attempted to dodge. It was then he noticed Gixoh coming from behind.
"Tsk...it looks like I'm in a bind. I guess a little damage won't hurt."
[Iago]
Instead of continuing to move back, Iago stands his ground. Activating his Harden skill. The Impact of the projectiles, Twilight, Lepricus, and Gixoh, creates sparks. Causing the three of them to fly back after impact.
As Iago's Harden skill comes undone he begins to notice a few marks on his arms. I guess I have to commend them.
"I have to say you all seem to work pretty well together. Unlike my minions who seem to have lost to you all one by one."
[Iago]
"They weren't that tough, to begin with."
[Lepricus]
"They were all a bunch of talk, not much if you ask me.
[Liam]
"Didn't you almost die?"
[Obitiga, as they all look at Liam]
"Yeah...and so."
[Liam]
"Nothing, just confirming."
[Obitiga]
As everyone was focused on the two of them arguing, Iago began to make his move. He slipped himself into the shadows. Noticing, Temti alerted Twilight who then did the same thing. Once near Sirisa and Temti Iago brought himself out of the shadows. Right before striking Sirisa, Twilight reappeared, stopping the impact.
"So you won't let me anywhere near her will you."
[Iago]
"Yeah, I won't."
[Liam]
As they clashed Sirisa released a skill in which a circle of light appeared under Iago. Sending a chain-like light substance and grabbing hold of Iago, it began to hold him down.
"I guess I was correct in targeting you, to begin with."
[Iago, to Sirisa, as she sends another one of her chains to hold down his other arm]
"Yeah, you were, if only you had been just a little quicker."
[Sirisa]
With Iago now held down, he was an easier target for the others. Though he was still able to manifest his Harden skill it was no longer as strong. Attacking from all directions the rest of them were able to land near-fatal blows. Severing at least one arm, causing Iago to rage out more into something the rest hadn't seen before.
"Gaaahhhhh."
[Iago, screaming as a black cloud shrouds him]
"What's happening? Is he transforming again?"
[Twilight, to Obitiga]
"I'm not sure, whatever this is, it's new to me. Sirens only have one form."
[Obitiga]
Within the cloud, Iago's form began changing even more. The shell on his back began to form spikes. His face began elongating, turning into a more beak-like. Letting out a final high-pitched screech. As the dark clouds fully dissipate, they reveal Iago's new monstrous form to the others.
"And we thought it was bad before."
[Liam, coming to his feet]
"How do we even fight that?"
[Gixoh]
"We've just got to keep trying."
[Lepricus]
"He broke my seal with ease but I think I've got an idea."
[Sirisa, looking over at Temti]
"Do you think you can handle that?"
[Twilight, to Temti after Sirisa finishes explaining her plan]
"Yeah, I do…"
[Temti]
"Handle what?"
[Iago, appearing behind Temti]
"How did…"
[Rion]
Leaning in to grab Temti from the group, Iago is stopped in his tracks. It took Lepricus, Twilight, Gixoh, and Rion full force to stop Iago from succeeding. Grabbing Temti, Sirisa makes the distance between the four of them to begin the plan. With Obitiga and Liam following close behind.
"I'm sure this should be enough distance to begin."
[Sirisa]
"So I'll go first."
[Obitiga]
[Activating Skill: Gale]
Activating what seemed to be a new skill, Obitiga creates a single arrow. Glowing green the others wondered what it may be.
[Activating Skills: Duplicates & Dark Lightning]
With the help of his duplicates, Liam began to infuse his Dark Lightning Skill into the rest of his stars. This gave each a dark purple-like glow to them. As his duplicates disappeared Temti began to boost the powers of the others. He had already done so to Twilight, Lepricus, Gixoh, and Rion before the group parted.
"Okay, I think we are now ready."
[Sirisa, as she begins to cast her Chain Light skill]
In the midst of all of this Twilight, Gixoh, Lepricus, and Rion were trying their best to handle the fight with Iago. Temti's enhancers helped them more than expected and though he was still a bit conscious, Iago seemed to just be attacking randomly due to his new body. Noticing the ground below them slowly changing as Sirisa's seal began to show Twilight alerted the others to avoid. Sirisa's Chain Lightning begins to grab hold of Iago. With more chains stronger than before, and with the help of Temti skill, it could hold Iago down, though not for long.
"NOW!!!"
[Sirisa, yells]
With this cue, Obitiga fires his Gale, with Liam throwing his Dark Lightning Stars. All projectiles hit their mark, knocking Iago over and stunning him. With Iago now on the ground, Sirisa was able to create more chains to hold him down fully. Charging each of their elements into their weapons and themselves the rest of the team attacked. Twilight using his, Lepricus his, and Gixoh his Dragon Breath. With this final blow, Iago was defeated.
