"Ablaze triple!"
As Garry entered his pinnacle strength the final outburst of his awakening he spared no second and seize the moment. He sends off a hulking ball of flame exploding with just the slightest pressure it takes, burning but a fifth of the woodland they stood. His bombardment causes steam and in some cases an area in which too hot for not even the rain could touch his flames
"Come at me boy!!!"
Elyra propelled herself with her spring-like feet and as her blood drips she covered her flesh and in turn, became her shield. Her newly armored form rushed in the heat of battle and Garry rushed to her at the expense of combustion of his back. His acceleration increased and as these two came nearing their foe, the impact caused the land to shake in their doing
"Steelius altrian," Her rod gathered the melting chunk of metal and turn it so to a spear
Upon seeing her weapon Garry chanted once he felt the effect of his spell had dwindled turning this raging flame into a shield. "Flintear!"
He manages to block Elyra's spear and as powerful as it may be, Garry easily countered so. The front part of the shield brightens and there it explodes knocking and sending her flying near the trees. The nearby fire casually explodes and she rebounded where she meets with young Kettle
"Combustion,"
He readies his fist for a sure-fire hit but Elyra struck her rod to the ground below and manages to escape her demise. Before their impact was nigh she twist and turn evading young Kettle's punch and clasping his head and grinding it so in the mud. Garry with his charged fist explodes the ground and the two were sent flying to the air where he regains the initiative
"Get off of me," Elyra kicks him off and easily escapes his grip with her immense physical prowess but Garry refuses her escape
"Come over here!"
From the flames, he only used for the offense they change and even became solid like the shield he invokes before. A chain purely created by flames bound itself in Umbler's shell as the two came falling with the added speed of the detonation from his flare. Garry focuses with all his might and the flames spreading from the trees gathered at their landing point
"Central conflagration,"
At impact, the harnessed flames exploded reaching the sky above whereas its volume and impact made her crafted shell come undone. At the center of their crater, this ever-bleeding maniac used her blood to form gauntlets and Garry copied so by mustering the ever mana from his veins. Their first clash as Umbler relies on the physical prowess of her genetically weaved monster young Kettle with his mana
"Steelius cocoonrie!" She reinforced her flesh by creating a new set of armor to resist the ever-growing heat
"Flintear, Combustive Bombardous!!!"
Garry caught off with her speed by sending a minor explosion in the back of his elbow increasing his swing. But as for the reason why he could resist the impact of Elyra's blow before his and her arm came knocking he invokes an explosion. These two explosive outbursts from front and back gave him the edge to counter her ever-increasing speed as they lock in a perpetual loop
'What am I missing... it seems like her armor can only be shattered by a full-blown attack, but my last shot only gave her a burn. If this is the case then there's only one way, can I take that risk? But it's worth a shot, she's still kicking and I only have a few more left inside me, I need to do it!!!'
At the end of their ongoing clash of fists, Umbler caught him off guard when she kicked him in his gut. Garry took the pain head-on as he could barely stand on the tip of his toe, he focused all his flame until not a single shielded his flesh. All in one strike as Elyra dashes and times the swing of his superior right arm. But all that preparation came to an end when his flesh without the protection of his flame came to be pierced by her needle
"Agghhhhh!!!" Garry screamed in pain whilst he used his left hand to forcefully pluck the needle which impaled his upper right arm
"Bluargh," He began to feel the early stages of the liquid metal as he hurls and his bones trembled in the intensity of his pain
"Oh no you don't!" Umbler stepped forth and tightly held his neck with just a little force she could easily snap
"Young master!" Simon and the rest cried out as Garry came falling under her old and wrinkly hands
"I thought you'd learned, but I guess you're just like them... dumb, ignorant, and naive. To think you would close is the only defense you have. It's a pity, that you've been born indifferent, the corps would've loved someone with your spirit. I can see you're desperate to escape, if by chance you were to side with us you'd be given a second chance. But peaceful negotiations like that were no longer an option when you killed thousands of my men,"
Elyra lowered her guard enough for her to relinquish the need for her armor and Garry slits her wrist. "Aren't you too old to be so relaxed? You hardly even check if my mana was truly sealed... either you're dumb or I perfectly hid the fire from the ground. Sorry to say, but this is my victory, old hag!"
When his body came falling to the ground he took so little amount of flame enough for him to escape in its combustion. Elyra couldn't escape as every pile of flare grew bright as the ever-blue sea of flames, her metal couldn't resist its warmth. Even if she dared jump the sky was infested with a cage purely meant to keep her at bay, and as these flames draws near she wonders
'Heh... hehehehehe! Well, I'll be damned, that kid outsmarted me? All that time he knew he didn't have the chance until he finally entered the last phase. This very moment... the time when his mana will grow so much that you'd even doubt yourself if they just awakened. Even so, I could have won if it were anyone else, Garry Kettle, eh? To think I'll get the honor of dying by your hands, I might detest you but I can't deny your guts,'
Once the flames gathered near the center once more the whole area came bursting with the bright blue flare of Garry's attack. Elyra Umbler burned ceased to exist for the heat had taken her life along with any remnant that could've proven her presence. Garry on the other hand loses all control of his mana for that magnificent explosion came to be the final outburst of his awakening
"Aquarius Orbus!" Before the raging flames could've consumed him a ball of water managed to seize his life from ever meeting its end
"Catch him!" Simon lost the strength to wave his wand and Lilla came running and catches him before he ever meets the ground
"Got him!" After everything they've been through she sighed in relief and Godfrey even mustered his strength to speak
"I told you... he's not urgh! One of... them," He falls right after conveying his words
Lilla on the other hand saw him no longer as a freak but as a boy who bravely fought in their stead as she wipes his face. "Yep! He is one of us. I'm sorry for the inconvenience I've caused... I'll make sure I'll learn to understand, and maybe I can sympathize with the boy–"
"Bluargh!!!" The four vomited mid-way through her sentence and even Godfrey trembled by the thought arising from his head
"Heavens no! Lilla, you're a hundred and forty-six years old are you thinking of dating a child? That's messed up in many ways– Urghh..." Godfrey fell to the ground once he's been struck in the head by a rock purposely thrown by Lilla
"The hell's wrong with you Godfrey!!? You're the last person I want to hear that from, I didn't imply it'll be romantic! I just said I want to change my views on the Grimmels–"
Not even a second pass and they're met with another hurdle after the defeat of Elyra Umbler as M.O.S.E appeared in the scenes. "Hands up! This is the Ministry of supernatural events! We've been dispatched after hearing a distress call from Desarteou... any suspicious actione and we'll open fire–"
"Antrelopeish rekain!!!" A single utterance of a spell and the wide number of Grimmels were lacerated in every bit of their bones
"You better have an explanation, Godfrey Lane! I'm quite interested in what reasons you called. So help me I'll whip you with my belt– Who are these two?" Godrick retains his composure when he sees from his nephew's little crew lies two Arcanists in the mix

3 days later
"Ahhhh!" Garry awakens bandaged and placed in an unfamiliar place room where he's frightened by a knock on the door
"Flintear! Flintear!! Flintear!!! Why isn't it working?" The door finally opens and Garry sees Godfrey who saw him rise and to his surprise, he drops his basket full of fruits
Godfrey remained stunned and he only came to ask on a single thing. "Where am I?"
Godfrey snapped out of his delusion and answered truthfully "The elven forest..."
