Both clones transform into something else.
Roar! Roar! Rumble! Rumble!
What appears in front of Maximus are two colossal shadow serpents.
Both are 15 feet long, and their scales are dark obsidian. On their heads are two angular horns, their eyes shine in golden lustre.
(Hahaha! Reject humanity and return to the serpent!) Clone 1 laughs.
(Idiot! We have already rejected our humanity.) Clone 2 retorts.
"This monster! I have to kill it immediately.'' Maximus armour shines in golden light.
Roar! Roar! Clone 1 opens his enormous jaws and releases a dark blast of death energy into the vortex. Swish! Swish! Boom!
