Chapter 75: Decisive Yog Battle!
Me and Ex walked over to the street next to the beach, starting our search to find a wicked seed. We followed the smoke while Carbuncle rested on the shoulder area of my armor. As we did... the sky was dark, but daytime was about to settle in for Okinawa. Slowly but surely, we noticed the smoke getting thicker. From this point, we knew we were on the right track. "Hey, Dave? I've noticed that the streets here are empty and there hasn't been a single other person that we've met since splitting from the others. I wonder if the people took refuge in their homes to avoid the smoke…" Ex began an exchange of words between the two of us. "It's possible, Ex… considering that this level of smoke is unnatural to say the least. Well that, and Japan in general is known for being an environmentally-friendly country. This level of smoke would obviously trigger some sort of alarm in these people's heads. It seems as though they might've just mistaken this for being traditional smoke from something burning or whatever. Regardless, these people appear to currently be on a lockdown. Look at the windows in these homes, you can see light through them." I said, then pointed. "Huh... So I guess these people ARE taking refuge right now. In that case, it makes things a little easier for us. That means the people aren't in danger for the time being. Although... they might get hurt if we end up fighting the Yog in the streets." Ex was relieved until he felt uneasy.
Yeah... they might indeed get hurt if we don't take the battle somewhere else. "H-hey, what's that silhouette on the center of the road over there, Ex?" I got his attention. "... We might've found it, Dave… the wicked seed. I remember the shape and such from a while back, before you entered in that tournament. ... Yeah, this is it right here." Ex took a closer look and found it. "Damn, what a disgusting thing this is…" I hated looking at it. "Well, it's not like that matters... Carbuncle, do us the honors and destroy that wicked seed!" Ex got his attention. "Gugugu!" Carbuncle fired his beam. The wicked seed was quickly destroyed and the smoke completely thinned out to nothing. "Another wicked seed has been eliminated!" I felt good about it. "Now it's time for me to call Tee and tell him that we got rid of it." Ex disengaged his armor. I made my armor disappear as well and watched the captain call Tee until he was done. "Alright, the others are heading to the streets we passed by earlier with Ringo's help. We should get going, Dave." He told me. "Yeah." I nodded. It didn't take us long to meet back up with the others and we all began to find the Yog as one large unit. The only ones that opted to stay behind were Ess, Ai, and O. After all, someone needed to look after the ship.
It'll only be a matter of time before we find you, Yog... We'll defeat you and prevent tragedy from striking. It just makes me wonder what this Yog is all about... We have dealt with a water-based one, an ice-based, and a wind-based one so far. My guess is that this Yog also specializes in a specific element. As for which one that could be… I have no idea. Only time or the Yog will tell us what it's all about. Throughout the search, we dared not to split the group up whatsoever. Regardless of our earlier encounter with this fourth Yog, we knew that it had to be more dangerous than the three we fought before... especially considering that this one managed to hurt Ecolo badly. We patrolled through the streets like police sweeping an area for criminals. One by one, the streets we covered didn't reveal the Yog to us. Early morning became dawn for us here in Okinawa and the wind was chilly, but it was just above thirty-two degrees. Thankfully, the people seemed to remain in their houses during this time... so they would most likely be spared.
Some more time passed and we came to the last nearby street, which had a cemetery. With it being the only possible place we haven't searched, we entered it. From there, it didn't take us very long to find the Yog. "...! There's the piece of shit!" Schezo saw it. "That's what a Yog looks like?" Feli raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. Apparently, this is how they mostly look: Giant eyeballs." Lemres said. "So this is where it's been!" Ex engaged his armor. "Then let's run to it!" I put up my armor as well. We all came to where the Yog was, which was literally around the middle of the cemetery. "We caught up with you, and now we're going to take you down!" Satan got its attention. "So, you somehow managed to defeat the oni and got yourselves out of that barrier... It seems as though I have no choice but to squash you all here. I am the Yog of Life. I resurrect the dead to carry out what we Yogs want, and I can change the gender of sleeping creatures… including foolish humans." It turned around and said. "What?!" We all exclaimed. "You're the Yog of Life?! You...! You're the reason why we had to fight that goddamn vampire lord again, as well as the reason why I turned into a girl!" I pointed at the giant floating eyeball. "You specifically pose a threat to us Yogs. I turned you into a girl to prevent you from stopping us." It said to me.
These things really are clueless... "Well then... guess what, you stupid giant eyeball: It doesn't matter if you turned me into a girl! Me being a guy from the start is not the reason why I'd pose a threat to anyone. No, it's me receiving help from others when times are tough... as cliche as that sounds!" I stated. "Enough. Fight me and be destroyed. ... Remains of the dead, heed my call: Be revived and fight these foolish humans!" The Yog began. "It's reviving the dead...?!" Satan became concerned. With a strange power, the Yog of Life was able to revive those who had been buried in this cemetery. They began to dig out of their graves as skeletons, and they soon vastly outnumbered us. There had to have been at least four or five hundred skeletons and this undoubtedly worried us. "Kyah! Sk-skeletons?!" Lidelle became afraid. "They sure don't look friendly like Oshare Bones is…" Amitie shook. "These skeletons are likely under that Yog's control, of course they wouldn't be friendly." Satan told her. "Then we just have to take the Yog itself out. If it goes, then the skeletons will all stop and fall apart. Well, here goes nothing... Haaaaah!" Schezo got his sword out and ran towards the Yog. "...! Schezo!" Arle reached a hand out. "He'll be fine, Arle. We have a ton of bony cronies to deal with, so focus on them!" I told her. At this point, the fight was fully on, but I still kept my eye on Schezo whenever it was possible for me to see him.
The skeletons themselves actually weren't that tough; all of us had little issue when it came to smashing them up. Schezo easily took care of a few that blocked his path with his sword and quickly got close to his destination. However, the Yog caught on to this and had a bunch of skeletons form a fortress around itself. "What?" Schezo was surprised. After he briefly stopped, Schezo tried to see if he could break down the skeletal fortress... but, he had no luck. Then, the skeletons that Schezo took down reconstructed themselves and assaulted him. "...! Guys, the skeletons keep forming themselves back together every time we smash them up!" I alerted everyone. "They're not tough on their own, but if they keep coming back like this... we'll eventually tire out. Hard Drop!" Ex said and fired. "Damn…! Rock Punch!" Rulue threw out. "Claw of Shadows! Hyah!" I slashed. "Ice Storm!" Arle chanted. "Cerulean." Sig dunked. "Thrust!" Raffina forced back. "Starlight!" Klug blasted. "Stomp!" Tarutaru applied pressure. "Lightning Strike!" Ringo unleashed. "Spin Attack!" Tee spun. "Symmetry Strike!" Jay and Elle slammed down. "Flame!" Amitie shot. "Donuts!" Lemres sent. "Fermata Formation." Accord calmly launched. "Disaster!" Satan chucked. I kept looking at Schezo and at one point, he got decked in the face by a single skeleton. In the end though, we just couldn't prevent the skeletons from reconstructing themselves over and over again. Mere seconds had turned into whole minutes as this slowly changed into a test of endurance.
I won't lie, these skeletons tired us out after forty-five minutes and several bits of our group began to fall victim to them. The first one to be overwhelmed was Schezo, surprisingly enough. With him being separated from us, he had a much bigger amount to take on by himself. So unfortunately for him, he got the shit kicked out of him and fell unconscious. The next to be targeted was Klug, where he had multiple skeletons grabbing him by the arms. He was taken away from us. "G-guys, HELLLLLLP!" He screamed. Unfortunately for him, most of us needed to take a breather when we didn't have the time to do so. "K-Klug! *pant* Don't worry, I'll help ya! Get away from him, ya boneheads! Candy Cane!" Lemres made a cane-sized candy cane. Woah! I didn't know that Lemres could make a weapon made out of candy... The warlock made his way over to Klug and swung his candy cane like a baseball bat at the skeletons. "Hah! Yah! Hoooooh-! Booyah!" Lemres smacked away the skeletons' heads. "Oof-! ... Th-thanks, Lemres…" Klug fell to the ground and got back up. "Don't mention it, Klug." Lemres smiled briefly. The next person to be a victim of the skeletons was Lidelle, and she was scared. "S-s-someone... please help me!" She shook. "...! Lidelle! Agh-! Damn! Someone, save her for me; I currently have a lot on my hands!" Ex exclaimed as he struggled. "*pant* I-I'll go! Lidelle, I'm coming!" Raffina opted to go to her.
Please hurry, Raffina! I don't want to see Lidelle getting hurt either! The skeletons were about to hit her and she was terrified. "KYAAAAAAH!" Lidelle covered her eyes. The boneheads reeled in for a punch, but then they were blocked. "Step off, you jerks! Rainbow Deluxe!" Raffina kicked them far away. "... ... ...?" Lidelle uncovered her eyes. "Hey, are you okay, Lidelle?" Raffina softly asked her. "*sniff* R-Raffina... it was so scary! I don't think I can fight on like this anymore..." The short girl wrapped her arms around her, and began to cry. "Don't worry, I'll get you to a safe place…" Raffina hugged her. At that moment, she picked Lidelle up and jumped to a sturdy tree branch that was high up. After that, she placed her there and gave a brief smile before leaping off from it. Raffina used her drop as a way to kick an unsuspecting skeleton and got back into the fight. Thank God... Lidelle's okay and won't get hurt anymore. Still though, these damn skeletons are slowly getting the better of us...! "*pant pant* No matter how many times we knock them down... they just keep getting back up, as if nothing had even happened to them. *pant pant* …! Oh no... I think I'm gonna..." Amitie tiredly said, then... *thud* She passed out and we were getting very worried.
Shit...! "A-Amitie!" Arle called out to her. Upon hearing Arle's voice, Satan quickly snatched Amitie away from the nearby skeletons and brought her body to where Lidelle was. "Guys... I might just... pass out too…" Ringo said before... *thud* She fell to the ground and things became even worse for us. "N-no! Ringo-! Aaagh!" I lost the strength to struggle without being given any breaks. "Damn these fucking skeletons... … ...! NOOOO! I won't lose you two!" Feli used her ring out of desperation. "...! What the-?! Feli! What happened to ya?! You're taller and whatnot!" Lemres was shocked. "I-I'll tell you and the others sometime later, Lemres! First though, I gotta rescue Dave and Ringo! ... You skeletons will return from whence you came!" She threw her voice out. As Feli came to my side, my armor vanished from exhaustion. "... F-Feli... I can't believe that I couldn't keep going... ... I'm a disgrace right now, all because I'm a girl…" I kneeled. "Dammit Dave, that's not true and you know it! Time's just eating away at our limitations as people... including you. No one can just keep fighting without breaks forever, you know? But... I'm not gonna have you and Ringo die on me today! We still have to go on that special date with her and Draco! And besides, you wanna turn back into a guy, right?! Isn't that the one thing you were wanting the most after defeating this Yog?!" Feli said as she fought off skeletons. "...!" I was reminded.
That's right... How can Feli be happy in the future if me and Ringo die here? She was looking forward to that four-person date... I can't let her down. I need to live. ... Ringo also needs to live for both of our sakes... as well as Ms. Ando's. What would Ms. Ando think if her precious daughter was killed? ... She probably wouldn't ever cope with it if it DID happen... Either way, we MUST live on. "Y-yeah... you're right, Feli. What the hell was I thinking...? I probably would've still been completely drained if I remained as a guy. ... If only there was a way to break through and smack that Yog down…" I looked at her. "... I'll find a way for all of us, Dave. If there's anyone who can do it now, it's me. First though, I'm getting you two out of here. I dunno where I'll take you, but it'll be somewhere that's free of any skeletons." Feli told me. "... Thank you, Feli... Please, come back to us alive after dropping us off somewhere." I said to her. "Heh. I was able to go toe-to-toe with you in your dragon form with some help from this ring... I'm sure that I'll at least be alive by the time this is over." She smiled briefly. Feli took me and retrieved Ringo as well before dashing away from the others. In the end, she decided to leave me and Ringo just outside the cemetery. And then, she left... Feeling temporary peace, I decided that this was the best chance to sit still and use Draconic Replenishment to slowly heal myself.
Feli's POV
I prayed that Dave and Ringo were safe before running back to the others. When I got back, things were still not going very could not find a good opportunity to possess someone and such. Therefore, she was the next to be victimized by the skeletons. She was bashed over the head with a bone and was knocked out. "Y-YUI! Damn it! You bastards will pay for this! Hyper Hard Drop!" Ex raged. After that, he quickly flew to his unconscious adopted daughter and carried her away. "Shit…" I bit one of my fingernails. I need to find a way to get around that protection the Yog's established... Schezo failed to break it, but maybe I can do something. I took out my dowsing rods and ran straight for it. I blasted any skeletons that came my way with Zodiac and decided to get Schezo out of there first. When I picked him up though, he woke up. "Uh? ... Put me down." He looked at me before telling me. "Well, that was quick... I thought that you would've been down for a while." I said as I let him go. "Please, do you really think I stay down for long periods of time? … What happened to you? You don't look the same as you did before we started this fight." He stood back up and noticed. "I'll tell everyone later, Dave and Ms. Accord are really the only ones who actually know about this." I told him. "Tch. Of course Dave knows... Why wouldn't he know?" He scoffed.
The swordwielder looked at the current situation we were all in and he was confused. And so, I told him that Dave is pretty much out of commission, mostly from exhaustion. "... Given how much time has passed since this fight started, it's not hard to see why everyone is growing tired. I see that Rulue's about to give in too... She's usually a tough fighter, but not in the case where a fight drags on for this long. ... I need to defeat this Yog and end the battle." Schezo said as he took down several skeletons. "Not by yourself, though... You weren't able to do that earlier." I said. "... As much as I hate to admit it, you're right. At least it isn't Dave helping me out this time, so I can have some solace knowing that. So, do you have any idea how to break this fortress of bones down?" He sighed and said before asking me. "... ... ...! I may have an idea, but I need you to have my back. Don't worry, I'll let you have your victory by striking down the Yog after the bones are removed." I thought of something. "Then do it! Me and the others don't have all day!" Schezo insisted. "Very well... time for me to get to work. ... Significator!" I began. I started to use my dowsing rods to pull the bones out one at a time. Schezo saw what I was doing and decided to speak up. "Isn't there a faster way for you to do that?! Removing one bone at a time won't be enough, the Yog will just replace what has been lost." He asked and said.
He was right, this wouldn't get me much of anywhere... but I couldn't pull at more than one thing at a time with Significator. At least, I thought I couldn't... But... there's no way in hell that I can pull at more than one thing at a time. ... ... No, I have to try! Dave wants me to come out of this alive; I have to push myself! Now, let's see... ... ... ... ...! I think I can do this… "Haaaaaah!" I kept at it with my Significator. For a bit, nothing major happened... but then, the bones around the Yog started to rattle. About ten seconds after that, these bones were slowly being pulled to me. "I-I'm doing it! ... Haaaaaaaaaaah! Get... over here, you godforsaken bones...!" I pulled , the bones flew away from the Yog and I from the force of my pulling. The Yog was completely exposed and ready to be struck down by Schezo. "*pant* Schezo, now!" I alerted him. "Perfect! You're going down, Yog! Bright Ball!" He turned around and launched. The ball of what I assumed to be concentrated light hit the Yog directly. "Gaaaaugh!" The Yog screamed. "Shine Slash!" He continued attacking it. "GAAAAAAAUGH!" The eyeball screamed louder. "Time to finish this! Sword Spike! Haaaaaaaah!" Schezo declared. He thrusted his sword's blade into the ground and right under the Yog... came a large version of that very blade. It impaled the bottom part of the Yog, making it bleed a lot from there.
Thanks to that, the skeletons all suddenly stopped and collapsed. The battle was over... We came out on top with the victory and defeated the Yog. "This... isn't over, foolish humans… ... Four stronger Yogs will come to the other world most of you come from." The Yog said before disappearing. "*gasp* Schezo, you did it!" Arle ran to us. Ex came back and he didn't expect to see this. "What happened?" He landed and his armor disappeared. "I pulled the bones away from the Yog and Schezo took it out, so that's why you see all these bones on the ground now." I explained to him while I changed back to my actual height and such. "... That Yog really didn't put up a fight on its own... All it did was use the skeletons to tire us out." Satan mentioned. "Yes, I do find that to be strange, Satan…" Schezo admitted. "Regardless, everything is fine now. ... Dave might be changing back to how he's supposed to be as we speak. Feli, where did you put him and Ringo?" Ex said, then asked me. "F-follow me, I know where they are! It'll be faster if I just show you." I said. "U-um... is someone going to bring me and Amitie down from this tree...?" Lidelle got our attention. "Don't worry, I'll come get you two." Satan said to her before he flew over to them. After that, those who managed to stay conscious picked up the unconscious and followed me.
Dave's POV
I heard what sounded like a Yog screaming, which made me assume that my friends were able to defeat it. Soon after that, I felt things changing with me. I looked at myself, excluding my face, and realized that I must have been turning back into a guy. I heard voices approaching and it was the entire gang. They saw me and gasped, confirming that I was indeed changing back. "Dave!" Feli came up to me. Ringo suddenly woke up and saw my current state as well. "Holy crap! Are you changing back?!" Her eyes widened. "Guess so." I said in a weird male and female tone. "I can't believe that we're all witnessing this as it happens... ... Well… not everyone, I suppose…" Klug said before looking at Amitie and Yui. "D-does this mean I'm gettin' my dude back? The Dave that I know?" Lemres hoped. Soon enough, I fully turned back into a guy, dick and all. For me and the others, everything was back to normal. "Ahem. ... Am I truly back?" I spoke out of necessity. "Y-you're back to your actual self!" Ringo and Feli squeezed me with their arms. "A-awesome!" I felt truly happy. It felt great to get back the me that was actually me… I made the good memories that I could as a girl, but I was now emotionally back in business. "It looks like things are back to the way they should be…" Accord smiled. "It's great to have ya back like this, Dave." Lemres said to me. "Thanks, everyone… I couldn't have changed back without you all. So, who defeated the Yog?" I went before asking.
I waited for someone to say... "I did. However, this one right here created the perfect opening for me." Schezo spoke and pointed to Feli. "Feli, you've just been the best in this fight." I wrapped my arms around her. "I-I just did what I could to keep you and Ringo alive…" She blushed. "Heh. I know..." I smiled warmly. "...! Please excuse me, it appears I have a call to answer." Accord noticed and walked off. Me, Ringo, and Feli all let go of each other and looked at Amitie. "Man... if only she was awake to see this happy outcome." I lost my smile for a bit. "She'll wake up soon, and when she does... she'll be happy for you as well." Ringo told me. "Yeah, you're right." I nodded to her. "...?" Amitie moved a little. "Well, what do you know? She seems to be waking up now." Feli commented. "Amitie, you awake?" Ringo crouched down. "Mmm... Ringo...? Is it over...? ...! Holy crap!" Amitie slowly opened her eyes, then noticed my look. Quickly, she became fully awake and made such a wide smile. "It looks like you're-" I said before... "Dave! Oooh, I'm so happy that you're back to being yourself!" Amitie got up and hugged me. She nuzzled her cheeks against mine with childlike affection. "I-I'm happy too, Amitie…" I was rather surprised by the nuzzling. "I-is Amitie rubbing her cheeks against his?" Arle felt weirded out. "Apparently so, Arle…" Ringo said to her. "A-anyway, I guess that means we defeated the Yog." Amitie stopped nuzzling. "Yeah, and the skeletons collapsed to the ground. Everything is back to normal for now, Amitie." Ex said to her.
The man himself had approached us and he seemed to be relieved. "Ex... ... I'm sorry for what happened to Yui. She couldn't do much of anything here…" I felt bad for his adopted daughter. "It's not your fault, Dave. She just has a bump and some blood on her head. It isn't anything that can't be healed off by cleaning her head and placing an ice pack on it." He told me. Meanwhile, I listened to an exchange of words between Raffina and Lidelle. "R-Raffina... thank you so much for rescuing me!" Lidelle told her. "No problem, Lidelle. It's only natural that us, as classmates, should help each other." Raffina smiled. "Raffina... ... C-can I say something else to you? There's this thing that I wanted to get off my chest." Lidelle asked. "Sure, tell me." Raffina nodded. "W-well... it's... it's…" Lidelle tried to gather the courage to say whatever she wanted to say. "Yes?" Raffina waited. "...it's that I have-" Lidelle started, but then... "My apologies everyone, but it seems as though some pressing matters have appeared back in Primp Town... and I need to tell you all." Accord got our attention, displaying a serious face. "Pressing matters? As in...?" Rulue waited for her to say. "You see, Ms. Witch called me and brought to my attention that another Yog has just started to attack Primp Town." Accord dropped on us.
Right there, we were all hit with a shocking turn of events. No one could have anticipated that Primp Town would be directly targeted for an attack by one of those bastards. "Wh-what?! Dammit, what's happening back in Primp Town?!" Satan demanded to know. "Y-you see… I was told that buildings are currently being destroyed by the Yog. Mr. Hohow Bird and the town's police are trying to stop the Yog, but who knows how long they can last against it…" Accord could hardly contain her composure. "That's bad." Sig bluntly said. "Yeah, no kidding. ... Everyone, get back on the Tetra! We have a town to defend and it won't protect itself!" Ex said before telling us. "R-Right!" The rest of us nodded. "Ex, I'll carry Yui back to the ship!" Tee offered to do so. "Really? Thank you, Tee! We need to get in there as fast as we can!" Ex allowed him. We all ran back to the beach coast where the Tetra was at. The hatch opened up and we got in without a hitch. "Papa, what's with you guys running over here? It's like you're all in a hurry. And why is Yui...?" Ess wondered. "I'll explain while we're heading back to Primp Town, Ess! Just step on it when we get out of this portal that I'm about to make!" Ex told her. "Y-Yes, will do!" She nodded. Ex made the portal back to the forest just outside of Primp and the ship went in it. While we traveled back, Feli told everyone about the ring she had and what it does for her.
Thanks to Ess hurrying up after we returned to Amitie's world, we came to Primp Town when things weren't in total ruin. We saw Hohow Bird fighting against this fifth Yog alone under the night sky and noticed that he wasn't in good shape. "Ess, land us around here!" I pleaded. "You heard him, Ess!" Ex followed up with. She complied with my request and landed us somewhere nearby the chaos. We were currently in the middle district and people ran for safety, and possibly for evacuation. Fire and smoke came out from wrecked buildings and I was disgusted with this level of destruction. Firefighters were in a panic, trying to put out the fire. Everyone decided that it would be best if we left Yui with Ess, Ai, and O... since she was still unconscious. We exited the ship and joined in the fight to protect the town. "Hohow Bird!" I got his attention. "D-Dave! Oh thank goodness you're here! As strong as I am, I can't possibly take this thing on by myself!" He was absolutely relieved to see me. "Arle, heal him!" I turned to her. "O-okay!" She got the bird away from the fight. "Hey, what's with you attacking Primp Town like this all of a sudden?!" I demanded an answer. "After you all took out the fourth… we Yogs thought that this was a time that we needed to be more desperate. Half of us are down and we can't let you keep defeating us like this. So, we decided that if the fourth one went down... I would come and attack this town before you all could return in time. The plan wasn't perfect, but it looks like the fourth one made you all exhausted... and you still have not recovered properly." It answered.
Fuck these things… "Why drag the innocent people of Primp into this terrible destruction?! They've done NOTHING to you!" Ex exclaimed. "That may in fact be true, however there were individuals such as that bird that held me off for a bit. He managed to hurt me, but not majorly. Regardless, this was just a method used to lure all of you here, so that I can end you. I am the Yog of Fire: My fire burns bright and scorches with intense heat! Burn to ashes with the very flames I carry! Fiery Explosion!" The Yog said before attacking us. "Yikes! Everyone, get out of the way!" I jumped and yelled. It sent a big ball of fire at us all and we narrowly dodged it. The fire hit the pavement and scorched it, leaving a black spot. Snow around that spot also melted into water. "Geez, I think this eyeball needs to literally chill out..." Lemres said. "I don't know if we can "chill it out", but we'll quell its flames somehow." Klug readjusted his glasses. Quell its flames... Yeah, we have to find some way for it to not endanger the people anymore. Well, at least there's no wicked seed this time... probably because this Yog didn't have the time to place one around here. But, I'm sure that this Yog has a trick up its eyelid and that'll make things significantly more difficult for us...
Either way, it's go time! I have access to my dragon form again, so if things go to shit, that will be a last resort option. And my winged armor is back to being bulky and more durable as well, which means I can take more hits with that. "Yog, it's time for you and the other remaining Yogs to regret attacking this town! And, you will learn to not screw with me and my friends!" I engaged my armor. "Yeah! You will regret it indeed, Yog!" Ex did the same. "If you have damaged the school in any sort of way... then I will show no mercy towards you." Accord stepped up to the plate. "W-woah... Ms. Accord looks mad." Amitie's eyes widened. "That's because she values the school, just like how she values us as students of hers." Klug told her. "And we love Primp Town as our home, we won't let you destroy it!" Raffina made a strong stance. "*pant pant* Guys, I'm here...!" Witch came to us in a hurry. "W-Witch!" I saw her run up to us. "I just checked the school and it's burning badly because of this stupid thing!" She told us. "... Ms. Witch, how about we defeat this Yog together? We need to teach it that burning the school was a huge mistake." Accord turned to her. "M-Ms. Accord... ... Yeah, let's get 'em!" Witch prepared herself. "Everyone else, please defend us from this Yog's attacks as Witch charges up for a powerful spell of hers. I will capitalize on the Yog getting hit by that." Accord told us. "You don't have to tell us twice; we'll keep its attention away from you two." Ex said. And with that... we began another fight with a Yog.
Author's Notes: The gang have managed to defeat the fourth Yog and Dave transformed back into a guy. Surprisingly, the Yog itself didn't put up much of a fight… it just took a good while. After everything seemed to be well and good, Accord dropped some bad news she got from a call on the others. She told them that Primp Town was under attack. Upon hearing this, everyone dashed to the Tetra and went all the way back to Primp. They saw the destruction the town was experiencing and it was bad. Dave noticed that Hohow Bird was fighting this fifth Yog and he wanted Ess to land somewhere near the fight. From there, the gang came up to the Yog and gave aid to Hohow Bird. So now, the two sides have essentially started the battle. How will Dave and friends defeat this Yog of Fire? And, what was the thing that Lidelle wanted to say to Raffina? Next chapter, Chapter 76: Burning Hellfire.
