The orb absorbed the remaining dark energy reeking before any of the Seitengers could stop it. In a flash, they saw it expand to the point where it could even surpass the size and height of the tallest mountains and buildings in the country. The orb immediately vanished after a few more seconds and revealed an enlarged and revived version of Juman.
"I told you! This will get even more interesting!" The Triske Monster growled in a deep voice.
Of course, this was a shock to the Seitengers.
"Are you kidding me? We can't fight that Triske Monster with that heck of his giant form!" SeitenWater exclaimed as he kept flailing around.
"But how did that happen?" SeitenLight muttered despite the surprise.
SeitenFire heard SeitenLight's question and at one point, he recalled something that his mother once said to him.
~"There will come a time wherein you'll be facing an enemy that has two personas. You might be able to defeat the first persona easily. But for you to defeat that enemy completely and erase it from this world, you need to destroy its last persona—the seed of all its evil nature..."~
"The seed... of all its evil nature..." SeitenFire immediately looked up to face the giant Triske Monster Juman. "So the enemy she was talking about at that time... was a Triske Monster..."
"Hey, Shuichi, what are you talking about?"
The said red warrior faced SeitenWater. "My mother... She said something about defeating an enemy that has 2 personas. I think at that time, she wasn't talking about a mere human enemy."
"Well, we just defeated Juman and now he's revived and grown to the height of two skyscrapers on top of one another in mere seconds. I wish I had that kind of ability to increase my height."
"Your mother already knew we're going to face this kind of enemy," SeitenLight looked up and examine the enemy. "So now, we need to defeat the second persona."
"My mother called it 'the seed of all its evil nature'."
"In short, call it the Unsealed Triske Seed. Unseal, to make it shorter," SeitenEarth deadpanned. "Did your mother mention anything about the way how to defeat the Unseal, Shuichi-san?"
But SeitenFire shook his head. "She didn't mention anything about that, unfortunately." With that, he sighed dejectedly.
Before any of them could think of a way, their respective Vessel Medallions still placed on the slot of their Hyakureider suddenly emanated bright lights that caught their attention. Even Juman got distracted at the sight of it.
"Summon us... and together with your powers, we'll defeat the Unseal completely..."
That voice, as SeitenWind heard it, actually came from SeitenFire's Vessel Medallion. "The Spirit representing the Vessel Medallion... Could it be that they're also...?"
"That's right. We also represent the powers of the Grand Vessel Spirits protecting the Earth along with the Seitengers."
"And we'll be with you today to fight and destroy the Unseal, just as your predecessors had done before."
Of course, with that confirmation, the Seitengers felt as if they've gained new hope on how to deal with the Unseal. Especially since it was the team's first time facing that kind of enemy.
"Then lead us," SeitenEarth said before he paused and looked at the Vessel Medallion on his Hyakureiken.
"Just call me Terraiger, Itsuki. I am what the Heavenly Spirit Guardians call Terraiger, the Rumbling Tiger of the Tremulous Heavens."
SeitenEarth nodded. "Nice meeting you, Terraiger."
"I'm envious," SeitenWater suddenly said. "Itsu-chan's already friendly with the spirit of his Vessel Medallion."
"We'll have a proper introduction later, Eichirou-san. Our priority right now is the destruction of the Unseal."
Reminded of the task to be done, the Seitengers readied themselves to face the Unseal. They poised their Hyakureider with its blade retracted and with its respective Vessel Medallions still placed on their slots in front of them. After that, they all pushed the red button on their sidearms.
For the final part, they thrust their Hyakureider up in the air.
"Spirit Summon, Start!"
The command allowed the team to summon their respective Grand Vessel Spirits as a portal opened before they saw five-colored animals (Firion, the red lion; Sereo, the blue shark; Terraiger, the green tiger; Skylon, the yellow falcon; and Dovight, the white dove) descend from the sky. When the five Grand Vessel Spirits landed, the Seitengers wasted no time and leaped for them to go inside each of them they summoned. As for the Grand Vessel Spirits, they looked like the creatures they represented, only metallic and more mechanical. The only common factor of the Grand Vessel Spirits' designs on their bodies were the accent colors of black and gray aside from the golden silhouette of the lotus flower in full bloom on each of their foreheads.
It was the same golden silhouette that made up the crest found on Mariko's chest box where the Celestial Shifters were kept for more than 10 years.
Once inside each of the Grand Vessel Spirits, the Seitengers noticed that each of them looked a lot like they were placed in clear egg-shaped chambers/cockpits. And these chambers (which they knew had all the control mechanisms needed to operate the Vessel Spirits) appeared to have been placed in holsters that had each of the Seitengers' symbols—their respective Vessel Medallions.
"Seriously... Never in my life have I thought of controlling something as enormous as our Grand Vessel Spirits," SeitenLight could only comment as she engrossed and at the same time, focus herself on the next action.
"Well, we already accepted the task. Let's get on with it so we can go home already and do what we have to do today," SeitenFire said as he took his position in front of the small podium-like control mechanism in front of him. He inserted the Hyakureider into its slot—letting it become a control rod for Firion.
The other four Seitengers didn't take long to do the same.
And doing so, they knew it was time for them to do what they had to do—and that was to defeat the Unseal.
"Let's do this!"
The five Grand Vessel Spirits, upon the control and command of their respective partners, began charging toward Juman. Three of the mecha did so as they soared in the sky (Sereo, Skylon, and Dovight) while the other two were on land (Firion and Terraiger).
"This is going to be interesting, indeed. I finally got the chance to destroy the Grand Vessel Spirits myself," Juman said with a sneer as he threw his stretching thorn arms towards the charging mecha coming after him.
"Great! Not those thorn arms again!" SeitenWater complained but chose to counter it with a spell in his mind instead of evading it. "Shark Icicle Ray!"
A light blue-colored particle beam with large icicles thrust towards Juman's thorn arms as soon as Sereo that SeitenWater controlled had opened its mouth. The icicles cut the thorn arms and hit Juman at the same time as the beam froze him to the spot.
"It won't last long, though. Guys, it's your turn to deliver your finishers on this one. The ice spell isn't that powerful enough!"
"At least not powerful enough... yet," SeitenWind muttered.
"It did give us an opening, though," SeitenLight stated. "Dove Crosser Thrust!" And on SeitenLight's control over Dovight, her mecha charged towards Juman at an unbelievable speed as she continued hitting the Unsealed Juman with its wings and head from different directions.
"Falcon Dive Strike!" From above, as soon as SeitenWind made Skylon halt to a stop, it came diving downward fast and struck Juman head first. SeitenWind's mecha did it at almost the same speed as the Dove Crosser Thrust.
"Itsuki, we'll fire our finishers from our positions," SeitenFire ordered that SeitenEarth only answered with a nod accompanied by an agreeing sound.
As soon as they both prepared their finishing shots, SeitenFire faced Terraiger's direction. "On my count! 3... 2... 1!"
"Tiger Ground Blast!"
"Lion Blaze Crusher!"
A green-colored beam from the eyes and mouth of Terraiger and a red-colored beam from the mouth and mane of Firion all headed straight to Juman who wasn't even given a chance for a counterattack. All the Unseal did was scream in pain before it faded into nothingness as soon as he got blasted into atoms once again.
When the rage of the explosion finally subsided, it made the Seitengers know that Juman was gone—this time for good as they had not felt any more dark energy hovering around the area.
"Stage set!"
