[Archer: What is that?]
[TBD: It's the roar an animal give when is about to be eaten by its group. A suicidal roar.]
[Archer: So what's the matter?]
[TBD: Some of our race found a breach were using it would enhance its power for short amount of time before dying.]
[Archer: How is that happening?]
[TBD: The roar has two functions. The sacrifice signal and turn down all the neural system. Doing so the dragons could pass the limit output that their bodies have.]
[Archer: Oh no.]
"Verns, how much time before Thomas arrival?"
"A few minutes, why?"
"We got our simulation right before our eyes.", he said and the girl started to regret joining him.
Sophia finished her sound wave. Her body was full of blood on it but on a surprise for the three that were looking at her she started to increase in size. Scales were growing as they were looking her body was of a small house already and there was nothing that could separate her from a normal dragon.
Shiny scales and great teeth. Four wings with feathers. One pair of horns pointing backwards. A muscle body and tail. That was her total transformation.

"It wasn't supposed to here but I don't have another chance to kill you all now.", the dragon said.
Lightnings started to left her body and even being of a size of a apartment diminished her speed. Gladly, Archer was on point with his usage of mutation and was ready to respond to her attacks and movement. For others she was on equal terms on speed but for the two on battle this wasn't clearly the case as Archer was much more fast without one of his mutations and she was using both she copied.
"You need to enhance it.", he said it to her.
Her copy mutation works totally different from Archer's Mutation Clone. She needs to touch the person while using the mutation and so she will gather the mutation points to herself. This mutation points can't be spent or she will lose their properties as well for the mutations she copied from it.
"You too.", even being slower she could aflict some danger to him because of her strength and the vacuum they left.
Archer was in inner panick as this girl could easily defeat Aureos but why she didn't take action before. He put some thoughts and achieved some conclusions. Two of them were highly likely to be true. First was that she couldn't meddle into Karma's business while being daughter of a former member. Second and most possible one. Aureos was holding off on their last battle.
"Why are you so thoughtful in the middle of a fight?", she caught him off guard but for some reason he wasn't avoiding.
Her claw was fastly and deadly coming for his whole body but for some mirable the attack stopped in mid air. It was Verns mutation. She was already on stage and Thomas was throwing everyones weapons to the air as he transformed himself on a huge hybrid elephant a quarter of her size.
"We are connected.", Verns said in Archer's mind.
"Lets start hunting this dragon then.", he picked his spear while communicating with his teammates. "Thomas take place between the dragon and Verns and protect her from advancing to deal heavy blows on our ranger."
"Got it."
"Verns, you can start poking her from away."
"Starting to doing.", Verns was actually very skilled on air magic. Her arrows were acting like having life and making impossible turns to hit the dragon.
"What are you doing?", Sophia started to look for enemies were she was being hit and pushed but there was no one doesn't matter where she looked. "The elephant.", she thought that could be some kind of magic coming from Thomas.
"Thomas create a bubble of water and block the top of you.", Archer was fast to read her movements and pass the correct information to his teammates follow up. "Verns. I don't want her to fly away."
"Got it.", both replied.
The water decreased the attack speed and strength making it easy for the elephant block it with his halberd. While the attack was landing and strength was made by Thomas to keep it there. Verns took the shots and enhanced them with her mutation before speeding with her air magic. One wing was down.
"She isn't feeling pain. So don't worry about having no response from the attacks."
"So how she noticed the arrows?", the half-elf asked.
"Another way probably.", he returned. "I'll enter. Get away, Thomas."
"Oh no.", the boy started to run and undid the transformation for a better distance.
Archer was with both arms stretched and behind him while approching her fast by the air. From his hands fire was circulating and for the other boy inside was like he was flying with those wings of fire. His trajectory was fast and from up high he went down and straight to her dragon chest with both palms bringing the magic on his fists making them tresspass her body.
"Wings of Air and Flames.", the spell was a continuous attack but as she wasn't feeling any pain her body was still under her control. His goal was achieve the critical state where the body would shut down on his own. So he needed to keep it going. "REVOLVE."
The air and fire that was already circulating damaging the dragon in her transformation were ignited by the boy's words. They started to revolve uncontrobaly making the scales being burnt and slashed through. A dragon scales was being damaged by a first year original magic. This was only possible because of two things. Magical circuit and magical affinity. All phoenix foundations are made around the revolving part. He had three of them. Phoenix are natural talented with Air and Fire. He had captivated three of them and had a heart of one as well.
"Don't get closer.", he warned them. "She's still dangerous."
"But you...", Verns was concerned with his own good.
"He can do.", Thomas said.
"Yes, I can. So trust me.", he said that to them and returned to focus on her. The offensive spell air was keeping her from attack. She had weakened. This was his chance. "Return.", the whole magic that was revolving around her vanished in a moment and his palms closed into each other.
"Have you gone crazy?", she said and did a claw attack but her forgot that he was much more faster.
"Of course, I'm not crazy.", he opened the palms. "Rebirth.", a flash went through the air and everyone was blind for a second.
When the eyes adapted to the light again. There they were. Archer was standing up on his feet and with his spear on the side. On the other side was Sophia on her human form. The boy dissipated his spell in the moment he noticed that anymore could kill her.
"You are truly awful.", she said. "So much power and still a coward.", she picked one of her scales on the skin and then turned into a sword. "Lets finish this."
"Are you still going?", he laughed. "You are truly powerful. I don't know if its higher than Aureos but you'll find nothing on this revenge you took for yourself.""Don't interfere.", he alerted his group.
"Come on.", she shouted and jumped against him. Her posture was all wrong. He easily read her movements and counter them in a way to mock her everytime. "Stop doing that."
"You can't win. Not as you are.", she was still attacking while he was talking. "You need to change up here.", he pointed at his head. "You are good at it but are too moved by your emotions and they take the worst of you even when they can enhance your power."
"Shut up.", she said and swipped her to ground with his weapon.
"You can improve a lot but not as a vengeful person you are."
"What do you want?", she jumped on her feet and kept going but now after some reasoning her emotions started to stabilize.
"You are very good on this.", he complimented her on her emotion control. "But you need to keep it even more hidden.", so he did the only thing that possible would let her anger out. "You know Aureos was more troublesome even when I was on the lead."
"WHAT?", her anger left out and again she started to see the sky.
"It's beautiful I agree but aren't you here for a battle?"
"I forfeit. It's my loss.", she gave up and let the blade go.
"After all of this you only gave up?", he said that and looked at her. "Aureos didn't give up even when I was suffocating him."
"You what?", she didn't know the details of the battle as it was a top secret on the school. "I thought you defeated him with strength.", she was desolated.
"No. I wasn't enough all my partners helped me too.", she pointed at his actual group. "No, other ones."
"Is safe to approach?", Verns asked on his mind and he gave both permission. "What are we doing now?"
"For countless times in this battle I changed opinions on bringing her in or not.", Archer said and both girls looked strange at him. Both had the same opinion. He must be crazy. "But what do you think?"
"No.", Verns replied without hesitation. "And if you bring her I'll leave."
"I promise to be a good girl.", Sophia returned to her performance.
"Here we go.", Thomas knew that something bad would happen.
