Morph backed off pulling away the swords from its mouth while turning its paws into human hands for a moment. It cried and growled at them, lowering its head.
"With all due respect, you started it. So, get your ass kicked," Jiant said.
"Break-free action," Aria said.
Aria rushed towards Morph and slashed at its forehead as Fara joined too and slashed using her sword. Morph backed off and lifted its head away howling lightly.
"Want to try a move?" Maaz asked Adam.
"You bet," Adam said, nodding with agreement.
Maaz climbed on Adam's hands and he tossed Maaz up towards Morph's forehead. Maaz slashed his sword towards Morph, causing a deep cut on its forehead finally.
"Think you can jump high?" Jiant asked.
"Oh… yeah, let's break some bones," Jay said.
"I need some popcorn at this point," Varun said without even trying to get up and sat against the wall comfortably.
"Play some music for the kid, Tarragon," Fara said through her microphone.
"Someone finally remembered about the microphone," Tarragon scoffed.
"Now playing 'Up' by the one and only Harriett… enjoy," Ivor said as if he were giving commentary on a sport match.

(Music notes started)
We go higher and higher and higher! (the music echoed through the room) [Jay and Jiant did the same as Adam and Maaz, and hit Morph hard]
Come on now show the world thine fire… [Jiant cut the wound deeper in Morph's forehead]
No waiting for longer and longer and longer! [Aria and Fara attempt to make Morph fall off]
Come on get yourself up and dire… [Morph groaned through pain]
We don't go down, so we go up-up-up
We don't slow down, but we go firing up
We gonna tear you up non-stop, no stop
Don't go down so easily, now show your stuff
Come rage you and show your stuff [Morph falls and everyone joins in together]
Go down and get up, now save your spot
There's no one way to-do do-do the job [Morph tries to get up and fight but everyone keep putting it down]
Go down and get up, don't you ever give up…
Don't stop, don't stop
Keep going up-up-up
No one, must be, that someone to, race you down
You own the crown [Aria helps Fara make a cut on Morph's throat]
You own the crown to the down and up
Rage louder and louder and louder! [Everyone endlessly surround Morph]
Don't you let the world dim your fire…!
Aim higher baby higher go higher
Shine bright as a freaking sapphire
We don't go down, so we go up-up-up
We don't slow down, but we go firing up
We gonna tear you up non-stop, no stop
Don't go down so easily, now show your stuff
(Music end)

Morph widened its red and lifeless eyes and floated up into the air and burst up to the ceiling. Everyone thought it was its gruesome way to die and just started walking towards Varun.
Varun still kept looking up as something came out of the waste struck on the ceiling. Three fisted limbs came out as Morph now looked like a large, badly mutated human-form with six limbs which looked alike as human hands, even its legs looked like hands.
It dropped down to the ground, as the floor cracked under it. Everyone turned back towards it and looked at it in horror. Varun got up picking up the stone-gem and smashing it using both hands.
Morph found Fara closest to it and rushed towards her on its eight. Fara just stood there in confusion as Varun jumped up in between them and held out his stone-gem towards Morph as it jumped towards the gem. The stone-gem teleported both Varun and Morph away.
"What is with that thing?" Aria asked looking visibly pissed at its guts.
"Left a stain on the ceiling and its arm is fallen across the room. Not the best time to crave for meat," Jay said.
"I'm quitting meat for a long-long time alright," Flint scoffed.
"Oh, I quit meat overall," Maaz said.
"He teleported away to Pluto with that," Jiant said.
"Just in time, I would say," Tarragon said.
"You kids scoot and hide before someone sees you," Ivor said.
Everyone went away into a nearby room and watched. A cool and evil-looking guy entered from the broken door, followed by around ten armed guys.
"What's with the broken door… robot and floating head?" the guy asked, seemingly weirded out more by Tarragon and Ivor.
"Well, we were testing more about dragons and things went… awry," Tarragon said standing still and possibly mimicking a robot.
"Well, and the floor is cracked. Anything else I missed?" the guy asked.
"Uh…" Tarragon said looking at the broken arm across the room and thinking of the stain on the ceiling.
"We might have some ideas on some things," Ivor said.
"So, the floating head has ideas, interesting," the guy said almost trying to look around.
"I'll show you the way sir," Tarragon said grabbing onto the guy's shoulder.
The guy just took one look at Tarragon grabbing his shoulder and just seemed cool with it. He and Tarragon walked away to the other way.
"This place is messed up," Aria sighed.
"Nah, just our story," Fara corrected.
***
Just a while ago on Pluto… Team Knell (including Harun!) sat in the throne room, which finally had many chairs across a white table, just ahead of the throne.
"See, not such a bad idea to have chairs here. However awkward this would seem from the outside, this being the throne room and all that," Manasie said.
"Relax, I didn't complain. I would like to mess people's brain after they see this, however," Kara laughed.
"Pluto has an evil queen," Nightrale gestured.
"Still not planning on being the queen," Kara said.
"Well, at least one of you must," Harun said.
"Guys… this thing is vibrating," Alias said, holding the mirror-gem up.
"Here, give it to me," Harun said grabbing the stone.
"What is it?" Kara asked.
"Can't say, he's running weirdly, holding onto the stone. Towards… what in the world would this beast be?" Harun asked.
"Signalling a battle time," Kara said getting up.
"Let's see if this does work. Varun may faint though," Harun said doing something to the stone.
Varun teleported ahead of them with Morph and then he wore the stone and turned into his armour. Morph just growled at Varun, a disc stuck to Varun's back, pulling him towards the others, just as Morph tried to grab onto him.
"Look who trusts me," Manasie said.
"You just caught me off-guard," Varun said.
"Well, jokes aside, what is that thing Varun?" Magpie asked.
"Say hello to the beast which keeps altering its form. We call it 'Morph'," Varun said.
"Well, you can also try calling it many things," Nightrale scoffed.
"You don't know the horrors I saw," Varun said.
"Talk less when a beast ahead," Nemesis said.
"Follow him," Varun said laughing, no-one else did.
Morph was almost four times the size of a human or any Primevel. It looked perfectly unwounded after its 'morphing'. It had learned from whatever had happened before and waited patiently, for the others to attack it.
"We can try the lightning-thingy," Varun said.
"Urge of lightning," Alias corrected.
"It's against, so sure," Nemesis said stepping forward.
The three of them stepped forward raising their hands towards Morph. Varun felt an urge rising from his hands as it reached out. But he felt blurry and knelt to the ground.
Morph seeing the chance, jumped forward and so did someone else with the thousands of metal pieces ahead of her. Morph almost got blasted to the far door of the throne room. Nightrale bent down to Varun.
"You good?" Nightrale asked and turned back to Morph who endlessly rushed towards them. "Better be."
Varun got up as the urge, surged around his arm, heating up his body and waking him up completely.
"Now!" Varun said.
All three lightning(s) came out of the three's gauntlets and joined forming a purplish colour and hit Morph's chest. A hole formed in between Morph's chest.
"Rule one; lightning against other Primevel warriors is a lot messy," Nemesis said.
"Because of it turning purple?" Varun asked.
"Yes and purple stands for different possibilities. The first Primevel warriors used it to seal the first Sam's stone and themselves. In this case, it just burned through the beast," Alias said.
"Wow, amazing," Nightrale said.
"So were you," Varun complimented.
"Well, the lightning usually turns purple when two or more join. You are supposed to have the power to make one just by yourself. Hence, making you the possible best Primevel warrior," Nemesis said.
"Which you will attain soon and must, for Rahambose," Alias said.
"Simple, if we know how to turn yellow into purple. All about the colour combinations really," Varun scoffed.
"It's not just about the colour though," Nemesis said.
"Well, the strongest dragons are supposed to be purple too. Maybe… it is the colour," Alias said.
"Great minds think alike," Varun said fist-bumping Alias.
"May the eyes of the great mind spot the event ahead," Manasie implied.
Morph reformed again into a smaller form, but as before.
"Realisation, anything good can't be done continuously can it?" Varun asked.
"You're right," Nemesis said.
"Move kids," Nightrale said backing the three.
Nightrale's blades came up from the floor and went towards Morph, binding its hands together. Morph could easily breakthrough and growled at Nightrale and jumped up towards her. Nightrale shielded herself by putting a shield of blades in front of her.
"I'm blindfolded guys," Nightrale said as Morph kept pushing her backward and backward with each strike, just like Psycho, the brute.
"Why fear when I'm here?" Magpie said.
From behind Morph and through the door, a giant ice sword came and beheaded Morph. Morph reformed its head, shrinking its body again and turned back growling lowly.
Kara stepped forward with her swords and cut through its back. Morph turned back and pushed her away, the giant-ice sword moved again, but Morph quickly got hold of it and broke it.
Kara got up again with her sword and slashed down Morph's leg as it fell down. Kneeling down on one leg, Morph grabbed Kara and threw her towards Magpie.
Morph screeched deafeningly and rose up in the air. Morph, morphed again into a man-sized faceless thing, which looked very muscular than before. It landed down slowly and glared at everyone.
"Now we can be even," Varun said raising his sword.
