Maverick grit his teeth so hard that Zack could almost imagine them shattering apart at any moment.
But that was the least of his worries, as Maverick had not only increased in size once more, but had become even faster!
Dust and debris were kicked into the air by his enraged charge forward, and the platform cracked from one side to the other under the pressure of those consecutive steps.
Zack decided to risk it and bait an attack, rushing forward towards the imminent threat.
Maverick suddenly swung out, but Zack had yet to enter the range of his weapon.
'What is that jackass-'
*click*
The sudden and faint sound alerted Zack that something was amiss, so he quickly abandoned his reckless plan, opting to jump back.
*SCREEEECH*
The head of Maverick's mace had detached, leaving it connected to the staff via a long metal chain! It had become a flail!
"A hybrid weapon?!"
