Nashi managed to track down Sapphron and hopes to stop him and his madness for good. By the time she found him. Sapphron already begun the spell that would bring back the dragons. With time running out, Nashi needs to do something fast.

"Don't do this, Sapphron! Ever human in Fiore will die if this spell is completed!" Nashi demanded.

"If that really does happen, it will be a noble sacrifice to bring back the majestic beasts." Sapphron believed.

"You can't do this!" Nashi claimed. "How do you even know the dragons that come back will be the ones that want to live with humans? Can you even control that thing? How will they survive? Elfaude was right, Sapphron! The world has evolved! There's no place left in the world for dragons! There are just too many risks and uncertainties! You have to stop this!"

"I can't. I won't." Sapphron claimed.

"Then I'll have to stop you!" Nashi said as she charged right at him. She tried to strike him down, but Sapphron was able block her attack easily.

"Do you not remember our last encounter?" Sapphron said. "I'm afraid you simply don't have what it takes to defeat me." He swung his leg and kicked her back. Nashi was pushed back, but she was able to take the attack.

"That all you got?" Nashi said as she tried to sound tough.

"Sounding tough isn't the same as being tough." Sapphron claimed. "I'm afraid this is just going to go like last time." Sapphron went at her and had his blue flames around his fist, but Nashi was ready for it this time. She smashed her own fist against his and their two flames clashed against each other. Sapphron was a little surprised that Nashi took his attack like that.

"You were saying?!" Nashi said as she thinks she's got him. She was able to cancel out his flames. When he saw what she did, he moved back before she could try anything else. Sapphron was a little astounded at what she just pulled. "What's wrong? You seemed a little surprised." She taunted with Sapphron not responding. "Seeing now you're not as strong as you thought?!" Nashi charged at him again. She tried striking him, but Sapphron blocked every punch she threw at him. The two of them kept going like that until Sapphron broke away from her.

"It would seem I actually took a hit." Sapphron said as he had a bruised cheek. Out of all those hits thrown, only one was able to get through. Only one might have hit, but it was enough for Sapphron to see that Nashi appears to be different than the last time they faced each other.

"Sapphron..." Sharell said with surprise as she didn't think anyone could stand up to him.

"You seem stronger than the last time we faced each other." Sapphron said.

"You think? People have claimed before I have this gift to get stronger every day and from every fight I've been in, and I'm not obsessed with fighting like my old man." Nashi said. When she said that, Sapphron could actually see what she was talking about.

'Interesting... She has this strange gift to grow stronger each day and after each battle. She doesn't even need to use magic for that.' Sapphron thought. 'I'm not sure how that works, but it seems she might be more of a challenge than I thought.'

"Sapphron, let me help." Sharell said as she was ready to jump in the fight, but Sapphron held out his arm and stopped her from doing anything.

"Let me handle this, Sharell." Sapphron said. "She is certainly a strange fighter, but she's nothing I can't handle. Even if she is a little stronger than from before, she's still no match for me."

"I'm not going to be pushed around like before. I'm about to prove I'm just as much of a dragon slayer as you are." Nashi said as she kept the fight going. She tried hitting him again, but he grabbed her arm and twirled her around with her being tossed back. Nashi is getting annoyed with him, but she also can't lose sight of what needs to be done. She looked back at the pillar of light. 'That's right. Remember, Nashi. I can't waste too much time on Sapphron. I need to stop that spell before it's complete. There's no telling how much time I have before that spell is fully activated.' Nashi knows she has to stop that spell, but how can she do that while also stopping Sapphron. When she looked deeper into the pillar, she could see the staff. 'That's it! Maybe if I destroy that staff, the spell will be stopped.'

"I know what you're thinking. Don't even try it." Sapphron said as he stood between her and the pillar. "Just got ahead and try."

"You asked for it!" Nashi said as she aimed right for the light. "Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame!" Nashi formed a giant fireball and threw it at the pillar. Sapphron didn't even try to stop that attack. The fireball blasted against the pillar, but it did nothing. "Why didn't that work?!"

"That staff is made out of the remains of a dragon that controls the flow of death. It would take more than that." Sapphron said. "Plus, so much magic power is being generated. Attacking it like that would be like a fish trying to swim up a waterfall. The force would just push it away."

"Maybe, but that doesn't mean it's impossible." Nashi said as she wasn't going to let it stop her.

"Face it, Nashi. There's really nothing you can do on your own." Sapphron said.

"Good thing I'm not on my own." Nashi claimed. She didn't even plan that as a part of the cavern wall was blown off. Help has arrived.

"Did someone mention us?"

"I hope you don't mind that we join in, Nashi." Nashi was glad to see Simon, Gale, Nova, and Sasha arrived just in time.

"Hey! You guys made it!" Nashi said.

"Looks like just in time." Sasha said as they all jumped off and stood in the cavern with them.

"It can't be. Did you actually managed to get past the others?" Sharell questioned.

"We didn't just get past them, we crushed them." Gale said. "That's what we're about to do to you."

"I don't think so." Sapphron said as he seemed ready to fight all of them, but Nashi acted first. She grabbed a hold of him and tried to hold him down.

"Guys! Get the staff in the light! His spell is already activating!" Nashi called. All of them looked to see what she was talking about.

"Not good. Come on!" Nova said as the four of them hurried down and went straight for that light. All four of them should be able to get past all that magic, but something happened before they could even it. A green transparent barrier came around them and stopped them from going anywhere. Nashi saw what happened to them just as Sapphron knocked her away.

"A barrier? Where did this come from?" Sasha questioned.

"None of you will get in the way." Sharell said as they all saw that she was the one that formed that barrier.

"Who are you?" Nova said.

"I'm the one that will keep you all trapped. No one is going to interfere." Sharell said.

"You're not holding us here, lady." Gale said. He tried using his club and tried to smash it right against the barrier. He hit the barrier, but nothing happened. That's what he found very strange. "That's weird. It doesn't feel like I hit the barrier, but my arm won't go out any further." Sasha tried something herself. She took out a couple swords and tried slashing against the barrier, but nothing really happened either.

"This is weird. It's almost like there's nothing there." Sasha said. It's like they're all trapped, but it feels like nothing is blocking them. Simon could tell there was something about Sharell's power.

"We were told there are eight dragon slayers. I take it you're the last one." Simon said.

"You're right. My name is Sharell, the Warp Dragon."

"Warp Dragon? What the heck does that even mean?" Gale said.

"My power is that I can form barriers and warp the space around." Sharell said. "Try as much as you like, but you won't be able to get out of this barrier."

"Is that so?" Simon said.

"It is. This barrier is like a dimensional rift called Warped World. The inside and the outside are now like two separate worlds that can't interact." Sharell claimed. "As long as you are in this barrier, there's nothing you can do outside of it."

"No way." Gale said as they didn't really believe that. Simon tried something as he used his magic, but light formed right over them. When he saw that, he stopped what he was doing.

"She's right." Simon said. "I was just about to use Grand Chariot, but it formed over our heads instead of in the air. It seems like it's a dragon variation of spatial magic."

"Are you saying we're really trapped in this thing and can't get out?" Sasha said as none of them liked the sound of that.

"They're really trapped?" Nashi said as this wasn't good for her.

"Go and have a look." Sapphron said as he appeared right next to her. He smashed his leg against her and sent her flying towards the barrier. Her friends expected her to crash against the barrier, but what happened was that she went vanished on one side and came out through the other. All of her friends were shocked at what they just saw.

"That was freaky! It was like Nashi skipped right over us!" Gale said.

"It's just as I said. The outside and the inside are like two separate worlds that aren't able to interact with each other." Sharell said. This is a clear indication that there's nothing the four of them can do but watch.

"Sharell, put up another barrier around yourself." Sapphron said. "If you accidentally get caught in the crossfire, the barrier will drop and the four of them will get in the way." Sharell did what he said as she formed a larger barrier around herself and the first one. Now none of them can get in the way of this.

"Great. Looks like I'm not getting any help on this one." Nashi said.

"It's just you and me now." Sapphron said. He held out his hand and unleashed a stream of blue fire that passed right through the barriers and blasted Nashi on the other side. "On your own, there's nothing you can do against me. You just simply aren't strong enough."

"Is that so?!" Nashi said as she pushed through the flames and used her own to burn the blue ones away. Nashi closed the distance between the two of them, but Sapphron moved away from her own attack. "Don't go acting like you won this fight before it's even over. I'll finish what Elfaude started."

"Elfaude? You saw what happened to him. He risked everything only to end up with nothing." Sapphron said.

"That's not true." Nashi said. "It won't be for nothing. I won't allow it. He entrusted us to stop you and I won't let him down."

"Lovely effort, but it will be for nothing in the end." Sapphron said.

"I faced many powerful enemies." Nashi said as she had flames ignite around her fist. "These flames of mine have burned through many fights. They all thought they could win, but I've beaten each one of them! I'll beat you all the same! Understand that these flames of mine are going burn you and your craziness to mere ashes!"

"Let's see if you can really back up all that talk." Sapphron said as he ignited his own blue flames. The hot flames of conviction and emotion against the blue flames of determination and tenacity. It's a real fire fight, but which one of these two flames is going to win in the end.
