Kellenas howled, encouraging forces as they fell from beasts. The mountain range howled in response, almost accepting him as an equal.
Jakery laughed like a child, leaping off a beast to reach the start of the next encounter. His eyes were narrowed and ready, so was his Third Rule.
Hail-Heart did not have enough time to prepare for the invasion, but many forces were up and ready. They ran out to confront the invaders, armors quickly hardened and weapons silently transformed.
The first wave of Infinus forces were being slaughtered effortlessly by a dozen guards. Realizing this method of attack was unwise, the beasts danced around for another strategy.
Each one screeched, calling those around them over to the end of the range. Where they would deploy their forces.
Zegi and Thawed alike came crashing down on the mountain, instantly charging at the city. Snow crunched beneath their march, showing off their determination.
Overhead clouds began to rumble, Jakery actived his Third Rule. Lightning began pounding the skies, smiting down his feeble frame in order to birth his true nature.
He slammed both fists into the ground, pushing back any forces that stood before him. Fine snow kicked up, hindering everyone's sights.
Warriors from both sides went quiet, including Jakery. Only for a furious Frost Wave to sweep through the range.
Many Thawed reached absolute zero, pinning them in place. However, most Zegi died. Frozen through and through from the fury of a primed storm.
Jakery gritted his teeth, unable to believe his side was getting punished so greatly by so few forces. There was no time to make up conclusions or blames, he had to act.
A feminine figure stood before him as the snow cleared. Her hands down by her side and long hair dancing in the storm. When Jakery saw her, he instantly knew she was not a warrior.
Yazzo extended her claws while stomping a foot down before her opponent. She roared with the same rage as the entire Frost Wave.
In mere moments, she lashed out against Jakery. Unleashing a barrage of swipes, kicks, and punches. Most of which landed, dealing a fair number to his armor.
"Pathetic army, how could you see defeat at the feet of so few warriors? We don't need beasts, I'll eat you RAW!" she howled.
Jakery electrified his body, building a protective barrier against her attacks. When the first swipe came, she stumbled back after feeling a sudden shock.
He drove a powerful kick to her hip, then delivered a devastating punch to her chin. She heard several cracks as she was lifted from the ground.
While trying to pull her back in for another volley of attacks, Jakery's hand missed completely. Allowing Yazzo to land in the snow. She shrugged the damage off, feeling enraged.
She dashed closer to Jakery, avoiding an incoming fist. Both claws were primed and ready, his armor was her target. She reached in and tore out plates with unrivaled speed.
The barrier wasn't quick enough to stop her. By the time she retreated, many key portions on Jakery's body were nearly exposed.
"What are you? Scared? Come hit me!!" Yazzo taunted.
Using built up energy, Jakery enhanced his body to be on par with hers. Electricity cackled as a cyan figure stormed over to her, a forearm ready to strike.
Yazzo stood still, allowing the hit to land across her ribs. But she was unbothered by it, instead she began to deliver several quick blows.
Jakery tanked them, allowing each one to connect while also delivering his own. Lightning infused hits seemed to barely bother her. But that was just a ploy.
In his blind spree, Jakery did not realize Yazzo disappeared from in front of him. She pounced on his back, wrapping both legs around his hips.
She then began to attack from above. Punch after punch, the armor began to get loose as Jakery struggled against her power.
Lightning engulfed his frame, electrocuting her several times over. Yazzo's skin melted onto the weakening armor. Fusing them together.
"Now you're quiet, huh??" Jakery taunted in return.
He violently shook her off his back, sending her tumbling into the snow. The familiar cold resonated within her core, it was exactly what she was searching for.
Jakery gasped, trying to recover before his next encounter. Only to see several Infinus forces laid around him, dead. A figure stood over a statue, frozen plate rested on his chest.
Detrass stood before him, fists closed and eyes narrowed. "Hail-Heart was a place for us all. This shattered statue was a token to our history. Just like then, we will defeat you."
Radiant light melted all nearby snow, flooding parts of the city. Light unmatched by any other out there forced Thawed out of their absolute zero state.
Yazzo grinned again, revealing her ice-infused teeth.
Ether barreled towards Detrass with a fiery inferno overhead. His wings were spread wide, holding back a burning energy sphere that could be considered a small star.
Before impact, everything faded to white, and a deafening screech lingered in the ears of the survivors. No one knew what was happening, or if they even were still alive.
There was a loving warmth in the air, the type only a mother could give off. Jakery opened his eyes to see he was in a field full of scorched armor and burnt corpses. But this was not a different world.
He was standing right where he stood before. The entire city was in ruins. Destroyed by the blast, evaporated water, or the intense heat that followed.
Jakery tried to make sense of what just happened, only to feel a pair of legs wrapping around his hips.
"Missed me?" Yazzo cackled. "My Third Rule... it has been awoken. I am now a host! I am a host!!! I will set you free as repayment."
Electricity surged through Jakery's body, he knew this battle was far from over. All he could do now was to bite his lip and push until one falls.
