Dragon Gauntlets around his fists, Ryuzio charged at Tash from around Hotaro, rounding three piles of rubble and a dozen or so cages with the Beasts inside them still asleep from the right as he made his way to beat the Captain of Scavengers.
From the left, he found Ixa's scarlet eyes glaring at him as she also started on her way to protect her captain, leaving Zaphael's side. She still had a hand around her left arm but her Surge was steady. Her tank seemed to be doing okay even now.
Just as Ryuzio passed by Hotaro's right leg, the Captain of Petmakers lifted the foot, rings of glowing yellow Ether forming around the ankle. "Petmakers!" Hotaro announced, his voice deeper and far more commanding in this form. "Kill the Scavengers!" He brought the foot down upon Tash as the rings merged together.
