The boy grinned, his confidence restored. "You've done well to get this far, but it ends here," he jeered. The monsters advanced, their growls echoing through the battlefield.

"I take it you are one of the monsters in charge of attacking the humans?" Masabi asked, his voice steady and calm.
The creature opened its eyes with a clicking sound, the flesh around them peeling back to reveal large, fish-like eyes. "What are you to call me or us monsters?" it hissed, its voice grating and unnatural.
