The deposit chamber had become a coordinated chaos of summons and attacks.

Brok directed his metal elephant like a mobile fortress, using the creature's enormous body as a living shield for Milo's group.
"On the left!" he shouted as he saw the artromus launch itself at them.
The elephant turned with agility that defied its size, intercepting the monster's charge. The impact resonated throughout the chamber but gave Milo and Kai the precious seconds they needed to regroup around Nessa.
Across the battle, Zara caught movement in her peripheral vision, an artromus trying to flank Enid while she maintained her defensive position. Her iron salamander responded instantly to her command, creating an iron barrier that deflected the lethal attack.
"Watch your back!" Aria's warning came just in time.
Zara, focused on protecting Enid, had left her own rear exposed.
