Yang: Villains and cheesy heroes cower in fear for the mighty Woo Foo warrior~!

Shiho:...

Varvula:...

Sanya:...

Peace:...

Yang: I'm referring to me.

Freddy: Really? I would label you as the reckless Woo Foo Warrior.

Shiho: More like a muscle headed warrior.

Yang: Ha ha ha~! Might as well put a shirt saying "I'm with stupid~!"

Gwen: Dang, I wish I had one in my size.

Yang: Just start the stinkin intro~!

"ARGH~!"

In a certain section of the Upper Yard, a Shandian warrior crashes into the tree. Whatever attacked him did enough force to leave a crater on the tree.

"Tsk, what an annoying bug," The one responsible for the warrior's defeat was none other than Accelerator. He wasn't in a good mood after his fight with Simon was interrupted by Eneru's enforcers. When the goat-men were dealt with, Simon used this opportunity to escape from him, which pissed the albino boy. "When I find that guy, I'll break his arm."

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Accelerator," Accelerator looked up and saw Moses on top of the large root.

"So you're the God Slayer I've heard so much about," Accelerator cracked his signature challenging grin. "Don't think I'm much different than BlueBird you fought yesterday."

"Oh I'm aware of your ability, Accelerator," Moses said. He extended his arms out and unleashed a torrent of black flames towards Accelerator. The flames consumed the albino esper as well as the ground around him.

In mere seconds, the black flames scattered back as if a force field repelled the fire. Accelerator stood there unharmed from the attack. "Black flames huh? I was expecting them to be white or something."

"Your ability allows you to reflect any vector you come in contact with," Moses deduced, scratching his chin with his left hand. "And yet it took the blue-haired girl to beat a clone of you."

"Tsk," Accelerator clicked his teeth, with an annoyed look. "If you're going to keep talking, then I'll rip that head of yours right off!"

Accelerator raced towards Moses with one step. While Moses was a bit startled by the speed, he knew that the esper was aiming at the root he was on. The GodSlayer jumped off just as Accelerator's fist connected to the root, causing it to cave in, ripping it apart. Black air surrounded Moses's feet which made him hover in the air for a bit before landing.

'He's much more dangerous than I anticipated,' Moses thought as he extended his left arm aimed at Accelerator. A miniature magical circle appeared on the palm of his hand. "Sky God: Corkscrew Shot!"

The magic circle releases a big cyclone of black air spinning rapidly like a corkscrew towards Accelerator. With even turning around, the invisible shield stopped the cyclone a few inches close to him. Moses's mantra kicked in, giving off an alarm sense. He sidesteps to the left, just in time as his own Sky God: Corkscrew flew back to where he was before.

"Is that all you got, God Slayer?" Accelerator mocked with confidence.

"...Not at all," Despite the disadvantage, Moses kept his poker face. "In fact, I believe you to be a perfect test rat for my experiment."

Chapter 40: Beasts Clash: Tiger Hibiki vs Chimera Kouta

Nami, Honey, Lucy and Gan Fall may have outnumbered the two brothers. Yet they proved to be much more annoyed to deal with their dials and mantra skills.

"TAKE THIS~!" Nami swung her blue Clima-tact at Hotori. He leaped backwards avoiding the swing.

"MISS ME~!" Hotori taunted. Cure Honey teleported behind him and swung her right leg at his neck. However Hotori quickly turned around and extended his right arm out. Sensing what an Impact Dial could do, Honey quickly flew back not wanting to give Hotori any ammo for the Dial.

The second Hotori pressed the dial, a stream of flames sprouted out of it. Surprised, Honey flew to the left, letting the flames fly by her head. "A Flame Dial?"

"You thought it was an Impact Dial, huh?" Hotori announced, reading her thoughts with a mantra.

"Lucy Kick~!" Once she got close, Lucy launched a roundhouse kick towards Kotori. He managed to catch Lucy's kick with his left open palm. The Celestial mage's eyes widened, noticing her attack was cushioned by the dial. "A-An Impact Dial?"

"Thanks for the charge," Kotori taunted. He then spun around and aimed his open palm close to Lucy's frightened face.

POOOT~!

"GAKH~!" Lucy comically gagged when the dial sprayed a brownish-green cloud at her face. She stumbled back before landing on her butt. Her hands covered her mouth and nose. "Did you just fart right in my face!?"

"HOOH HOOH~!" Kotori laughed as he danced around. "I store my farts in a Flavor Dial~! HOH HOH~!"

"THAT'S JUST DISGUSTING!" Lucy roared with shark teeth.

"I see," Gan Fall realized after Hotori dodged his spear attack. "They're using four types of Dials instead of one."

"HOH~! That's right~!" Hotori replied as he raised his arms up in the air, firing off his dials. "Breath~! Flames~!"

"Impact~! Flavor~!" Kotori mirrored his brother. "HOH HOH HOO~!"

"You won't be able to keep track~!" Hotori announced in unison. They linked arms together and started spinning around in circles.

"Who's Hotori? Who's Kotori?!" Kotori chanted, their actions trying to confuse them. "Which Dials do we each have!? It's so much fun to guess!"

"Surprise Dial Illusion~!" The two choired together follow by laughing.

"These two really like to dance," Honey commented with a sweatdrop.

"I still…can't get that nasty stench out of my nose," Lucy coughed, still recovering from the stink.

"Now that we know what they have," Gan Fall said while he swung his lance. "There's no time to waste."

"Right," Lucy nodded as she held out one of her golden keys. "Open Gate of the Lion: Leo!"

The tip of the key glowed a golden light that caught the two enemies' attention. When the light diminished a man with orange spikey hair and wore an elegant dark suit with the jacket left unbutton. He wore a pair of azure tinted sunglasses with thin frames.

"You called Lucy?" Loke announced, fixing his wrist collar.

"That's Leo?" Cure Honey said in awed.

"Wow! I was honestly expecting another man in a bad lion outfit," Nami said without remorse. "But I'm impressed it's not another total weirdo like that horse guy."

"Gee thanks," Lucy mumbled before turning to her spirit. "Be careful with those two Loke! They each are equipped with an item called Dials, and one of them is able to absorb any impact and use it against you!"

"Got it, my love," Loke answered as he winked at Lucy.

"..." Nami and Honey glanced at Lucy with a smirk.

"I-It's not like that!" Lucy denied waving her arms in panic.

Gan Fall was the first to act as he rushed towards the two of them. When he noticed Hotori aiming his palm towards him, the old man retaliated by swinging her cape forward. The second Hotori's palm made contact with the cape, it sprayed out the same gas that targeted Lucy earlier.

"Oh not again~!" Lucy groaned, plugging her nose again.

"You were wrong~!" Hotori mocked as he swapped places with Kotori.

"Were you expecting flames?" Kotori asked as he released his flame dial.

"No wait, that's going to ignite the gas!" Nami exclaimed once she realized.

BOOM~!

A large explosion occurred on the side of the Going Merry. Loke and the girls cover their eyes until the shock subsides. When they opened their eyes, they were stunned to find the Sky Knight gone, and the railings on the side of the ship.

"Gan Fall~!" Lucy yelled out in horror.

"HO-OH~!" Hotori and Kotori chanted in their victory.

Little did they know that Gan Fall was hanging on the side of the railing with his feet holding onto his lance. He flipped back onto the deck and rushed towards the closer twin Kotori.

"Huh?" Before he or the others could react, Gan Fall lashed his lance right towards Kotori and in the blink of an eye slayed Kotori with one strike.

"Only a fool would underestimate me," Gan Fall declared.

"K-KOTORI~!" Hotori cried out as he watched his brother being launched off the ship and plummet into the Sea clouds.

"Here it comes…" Nami muttered. A part of Nami's Clima-tact, she threw at them an early fly right behind Hotori. "Cyclone Tempo~!"

Before Hotori could realize it, the small blue rod slammed into the back of his head. Hotori cried out in pain as he tumbled across the deck. Not letting up, Lucy and Cure Honey rushed behind him and simultaneously kicked him in the back, launching him in the air.

"I don't tolerate you or your brother harming Lucy!" Loke aimed his hand right up towards Hotori as it was engulfed in light magic. "Regulus Impact~!"

Loke fires off a golden ray of light in the shape of a large lion's head. Hotori had no chance to escape from it as he was consumed by the golden light, the magic traveled across the forest, leaving a trail of smoke on it's mist. Once the attack was finished Hotori was nowhere to be seen.

"Impressive," Gan Fall stated, gazing in awe at their teamwork. "There must be tons of skilled fighters down below the Blue Sea."

"You have no idea," Nami replied, smiling with relief. "But we did it, we saved the ship and the crew."

"If there's anything else you need my dear don't be shy to call me!" Loke said, winking at Lucy.

"Yeah, thanks again for your help Loke," Lucy said as she closed Loke's gate causing him to vanish.

"Are you and him dating or something?" Nami asked curiously.

"N-no, he's just always like that," Lucy replied with a sigh.

"I'm so sorry Coral. Because of me running like a coward, we're lost!"

After a few minutes of running through the forest in a panic, Chopper finally stopped once he and Cure Coral were far away from the all-out war between the Shandian and Eneru's enforcer.

"We may be lost...but at least we're able to escape from those goat men," Coral said, a bit weary from the reindeer's running speed.

"Still, I want to become reliable..." Chopper said. He transformed back into his Brain Point. "Yesterday, I was powerless against the Priests and failed to protect the ship. If George didn't put out the fire, then me and the others might've been dead and the ship burned down.."

"I don't think the others are mad at you for that," Coral assured him. "Luffy's team had trouble against Satori as well."

"I know they aren't angry with me. But…" Chopper said, looking determined. "I want to become brave. To declare myself that I'm a pirate capable of beating my opponent without any help!"

Cure Coral stared at Chopper a bit surprised by his determination. Among her teammates, she has the least self-confidence of herself and often agrees with what others say without expressing her own opinion. When she met Manatsu and Laura and became a Precure, she was able to stand up for herself a bit thanks to her comrades, but it was a growing process.

"Chopper," Coral said, getting his attention. "May I ask how you became a doctor?"

"..." The tiny reindeer stopped upon hearing Coral's question.

"I'm sorry if it's a personal question," Coral quickly tried to withdraw her question. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to!"

"No I don't mind…" Chopper answered with a smile. While he wanted to be brave like the others, Chopper was glad that Coral was with him.

Inside an unknown cave, Luffy was struggling to pull his head out of the ground. After a few seconds of struggling his head finally popped out of the ground, causing his neck to stretch before going back to normal.

"Hey, everything stopped," Luffy said. He found himself in the middle of some broken down stone ruins covered in vines and moss. Luffy noticed a variety of gold and treasures scatter throughout the ruins. He then picked up a old skull and stared at it before it crumbled in his hand. "Where am I?"

"Ugh," In a different section of the cave, Misaka groggily sat up, rubbing her head. "Where the heck am I?"

When she sat up, she realized she was laying on top of mossy stone ruins. Misaka caught a glimpse of something sparkling from her right and noticed a large golden crown. "Wait is that gold?!"

Misaka carefully attempted to picked the crown up, which proven to be much heavier than she thought. After a few minutes struggling, she managed to pull the crown to it's side. She slowly inspect its a bit. "I can't tell if this golds real or not. But am I really in the City of Gold?"

"Misaka is that you?!"

Upon hearing her name, the railgun turned around to find two girls and a certain white cat, heading towards her. "Wendy? Cynthia? Charla?! How did you guys get inside this cave?!"

"We thought you would know," Charla replied.

"Yeah one minute we were watching two men fighting, the next we were sucked down inside this weird cave," Cynthia said. She noticed the golden crown. "There's another piece of gold?!"

"Another? You found more?" Misaka asked.

"Mhm~!" Wendy nodded gleefully. "We've found a lot more gold on the way here."

"Seriously?" Misaka blinked dumbfounded. "Don't tell me the City of Gold was underneath us the whole time."

"Not really much of a city down here," Cynthia said. "I wonder if anyone else is inside this cave."

Hibiki Tachibana and Kouta fought for the second time. When the young boy lost to her, he was suddenly forcedly transformed into a full fledged Chimera monster with the philosopher's stone inside his body coated with golden armor. Hibiki was unaware that her Gungir relic had changed into a beast-like armor, which was able to land some damage on him.

After landing a kick on the Chimera's back, Hibiki repeatedly dug her claws into the armor, trying to break through it. "ORAORAORA~!"

"ROAR~!" With a loud roar, the Chimera arched its back, tossing Hibiki off of it. The lion head then opened its mouth, releasing a stream of fire flying towards her with no way to avoid it in midair.

BOOM~!

"AH~!" Hibiki shrieked as the flames exploded upon contact. She appeared falling out of the smoke cloud with her beast's armor and body burnt from the attack, but quickly backflip with reflexes landing on her feet. "S-Since when can he breathe fire?!"

A second blast of flames was released from the Chimera's mouth, but Hibiki was prepared for it this time. With small boosters latched around her ankles, Hibiki leaped high above the flamethrower due to her beast's relic. While midair, her ankle booster blasted her downward with her claws forward. The chimera lowered its head and braced for the impact, as its long black horn clashed with Hibiki's gauntlet claws. Despite holding it ground, the beast was slowly pushed back from the strike.

"Snap out of it Kouta!" Hibiki yelled while she gripped tightly onto its horns. "You aren't responsible for Hilda's death! Whatever Aoi just did to you was all a lie!"

"GRRAH~!" Kouta growled as it violently shook its head trying to shake Hibiki off of its horns.

"I'm not letting go~!" Despite her demeanor, Hibiki found herself quickly losing her grip on the horns. She delivered a high kick into its chin to stop it from shaking, but it managed to catch it with its jaws and bite down on her right leg. "AGH~!"

With a shot of pain in her leg, caused her to release her hold on its horns. The chimera then swung her around attempting to rip off her leg by the force. Hibiki screamed in pain as her body flailed around like a ragdoll, however she didn't notice that her short golden tail with a red diamond at the end of it, subconsciously lash out at the Chimera's eyes. Whimpering in pain, the chimera releases Hibiki's leg.

"Gah~!" Hibiki yelped as she landed hard on her back. Upon noticing the Chimera swinging down its paw at her, she quickly backflips back to avoid it, landing on her feet. She noticed that the beast still hadn't recovered from the unexpected attack.

"Wait, how did it get hit in the eye?" Hibiki questioned, totally oblivious to her tail behind her. But she was interrupted by the chimera breathing out a stream of flames at her, which she quickly avoided by dashing to the right.

After it fired off its flames, the chimera rushed towards Hibiki while she did the same. Once close the chimera swat its left paw at Hibiki only for her to jump over it and deliver a right hook into its cheeks. Although it appeared to damage him, the beast countered by bashing its horn into Hibiki's stomach.

Hibiki managed to land on her feet and in a cat-like position, she pounced forward, landing another punch square into the beast's face. After taking the hit, the chimera opens its mouth and fires a stream of flames at point blank range. Hibiki's eyes widened in panic, until she was suddenly pulled up by avoiding the flames by an inch.

"Huh?" Hibiki blinked and noticed the snake of the chimera had bit onto her gear rescuing her from the fire. "Thank you. B-But why did you rescue me?"

The snake gestured to the back of the chimera, revealing a small crack form. The snake then sank its fangs at the crack area while it didn't have any effect, that didn't stop the snake from putting pressure onto it.

"Is that a weak spot?" Hibiki asked.

Before the snake could nod its head, the main chimera launched Hibiki off of her back again. Just as she landed, the beast lunged at her, ramming her into her stomach, slamming her into the tree behind her. "Guh~!" Not letting up, the chimera raised its head and continuously headbutted her body at the same spot. Her screams of agony were draining after every attack leaving a crater on the tree trunk.

"HISS~!" After continuously gnawing on the chimera's back, the snake managed to plunge its fang through the armor and sank its venom into its skin.

"ROAR~!" The chimera cried out, feeling the small prick on its back. The chimera stumbled backward and rolled on the ground, causing the snake to lose its grip as it was crushed by the impact. While it's occupied, Hibiki slowly got out of the crater. Her body was covered with bruises from the assault, but had enough energy to move.

'The snake saved me again,' Hibiki thought as she noticed the Chimera fighting with its tail. Hibiki's eyes glowed as she bent her legs onto the tree, readying herself for a pounce. 'It's like it has the same goal I have…This is my last chance.'

Using the tree as leverage, Hibiki sprung off of it and sailed towards the chimera. After dealing with the snake, the beast turned to where he left Hibiki, only to be met with her foot slammed into his cheeks, launching the beast across the ground. Not letting it recover, Hibiki pounced at the beast again, and assaulted it with multiple slash marks on the creature with tremendous speed.

"Grrr~!" The beast growled in pain, feeling every one of Hibiki's claws denting its armor. Due to the snake's effort, the golden armor was cracking from the rapid assault.

When Hibiki barrage was finished, she was behind the weakened chimera, with its armor covered with cracks. In a final effort, the chimera fired its flames at Hibiki, who jumped in the air as it emerged from the monster's mouth.

While in the air, Hibiki raised her right arm in the air causing it to glow in a yellow light. The claw then grew so long that some might be able to see the tip of it.

Hibiki Style: King Tiger's Claws Attack!

Hibiki then swung her large right arm downward towards the Chimera "KOOUUTTAAAAAA~!"

"ROOOOAAAARRRRRR~!" The chimera let out one last roar before being hit by the glowing claw. Hibiki's new attack destroys parts of the ground, as well as taking down a few trees in its path.

The philosopher's stone inside Kouta's body shattered into pieces, freeing the young boy from Aoi's hypnotic spell.

"Kouta…Kouta!"

An eight year old boy was wandering in a dark abyss. He looked forward and spotted a young woman with short yellow hair and wore a karate outfit, smiling at him. "I'm glad I get to see you once last time, Kouta."

"B-Big sister…" Upon seeing his true sister, Kouta rushed towards her and hugged her tightly, while tears rolled down her eyes and nose. "I miss you so much~!"

"I'm sorry Kouta," Hilda said as she knelt down and hugged him. "I'm sorry for not being there for you. Because of my actions, both you and Aoi were suffering."

"Don't go…" Kouta muffled. "P-Please don't leave me…"

"I'm sorry, but this will be the last time we'll see each other," Hilda said as her body began to slowly vanish. "But don't give up~! The world we ended up in is scary, and dangerous. But don't think you're alone anymore, You have comrades by your side…"

"No…No!" Kouta pleaded as he watched her older sister vanish. But not without saying one last word.

"Stay strong Kouta."

"Kouta…Kouta…Kouta please be alive!"

The pink haired boy's eyes fluttered open and saw himself staring at Tachibana Hibiki. "Thank goodness, you're awake. I thought my last attack might've killed you."

Kouta realized that he was leaning on one of the tree roots. The center of the clearing had a large claw crater due to Hibiki's final attack. He felt his body burning in pain when he tried to stand up, only for Hibiki to gently push him down.

"Don't push yourself, you're still injured after that attack," Hibiki quickly said, in a mere panic.

"Why?" Kouta questioned. "Why…didn't you kill me?"

"Eh?" Hibiki blinked at him.

"Even though…I was hypnotized by Aoi…I killed so many people…Even my best friend…" Kouta grimaced with his hands shaking. "I-I want to see my sister aga-."

"You know Todd never gave up on you," Hibiki said as he gently held onto his shaking hands, causing Kouta to look up at her. "He, along with his sister, wants to bring you back alive. They never stopped thinking about you. So, I didn't either. I'm sure they'll forgive you and welcome you back."

"Terra…Todd," Hearing those names, caused Kouta to finally break his emotionless state. Stream of tears rolled down her cheeks and a bit of snot came out of his nose. "Th-Thank you…Thank you for saving me, Hibiki."

"Aww, aren't you adorable when showing emotions," Hibiki teased and grinned widely.

"...S-Shut up," Kouta muttered as he turned away, with his cheek turned red. "A-And what's with that revealing cat armor you have on?"

"Eh…?" Hibiki blinked, wondering what he meant. She slowly glanced at her gauntlet arms which extract the claws, and then turned around noticing her golden tail waving. "Eh…

…

…

…EHHHHHHHHHH!?" Hibiki jaw's dropped in comical fashion as she looked at her new outfit. "WHEN DID MY GEAR CHANGED?!"

"You just realized it now?" Kouta questioned quietly with a sweatdrop. Despite Hibiki acting goofy, the boy couldn't help but let out a warm small smile for the first time in his life.

BZZT!

Erza, Ray, Todd and Lovely thought the fight was over after Ray exploited the Ultimate Torturer's weakness. However, as Shizuka Aoi chanted her Trigger Code, hell broke loose.

In a blink of an eye, the four found themselves blown backward by a bombardment of multiple white beams and whips lashing out wildly. Todd attempted to cut the whip, but one lash managed to slice his sword and another left a gash on his chest. Cure Lovely was too fatigued to avoid all of the beams, and was hit by a stray beam right at her chest, knocking out.

Erza and Ray were the only ones who managed to stand despite taking many of the unexpected attacks.

"Damn," Ray clicked his teeth in annoyance. "I was hoping to beat her before she could say her Trigger Code."

"Her Trigger Code?" Erza questioned, glancing at him. Before Ray could reply, they sensed long purple tendrils hurling towards them and they jumped back to avoid them.

"Don't you dare ignore me pieces of trash," Shizuka's voice became deeper with an echo. Her entire outfit has changed, wearing dark purple armor with a yellow gem on her chest. She has a black helmet with visor covering her eyes, and her black gauntlets sticking out were three triangular shards of glass which were rotating constantly. Her long purple hair morphs into four pairs of large whips with the cracker end of it painted silver, and launches them towards them.

"Requip~!" Switching into her Flight Armor, Erza avoided the first and attempted to block the second. Just like with Todd's sword, the whip managed to cleave through Erza's. Erza tilted her head in surprise when the whip hair flew past her, nicking her left cheek as she requisitioned another sword.

Ray rushed forward after avoiding the second pair of the whip's crackle. His right arm was cloaked in a dense dark blue aura. "Demonic Aura Drill Rush!" He swung his arm forward firing off a large blue aura shape as a large tendril.

"I consider you a greater threat scum," Aoi said, eying him with disdain. The shards on her gauntlets began to spin in a blur motion. "Mirror Barrage!" She then extended her right arm out with her palm open firing off a large array of beams. A collision between both attacks resulted in an explosion.

In a few seconds after the explosion, Ray flew out of the dust cloud, and swiped his aura infected arm aimed at Aoi's stomach who stepped back with one leap and hurled her hair forward morphing into multiple crackers. Ray manipulated his aura on his arm in front of him blocking the crackers pushing him back.

Aoi rushed forward while aiming a punch in Ray's shield. With her glass shard gauntlets spinning violently forcing her fist through his aura and slammed into his chest.

"Ghrk!" Ray grunting with a bit of blood trickling down his mouth. However Aoi wasn't done as she constricted Ray's limbs with her whip hairs lifting him up.

"Ray~!" Erza immediately rushed at with dual swords aiming to cut the armored woman down.

"Mirror Beam," Three locks of her hair swirled around itself morphing into an oval mirror, firing off three white beams towards Erza. With her flight armor she side steps to the side avoiding the first three. She had her swords ready to swing when she got close to Aoi's hair, which was restricting Ray.

However the beams from before collided into Erza's back, exploding upon contact. Erza cried out in pain startled by the unexpected attack. 'What!?' Hovering behind Erza were three medium-size oval antique mirrors. The rims around were glowing and fired off another array of beams towards the Erza, not giving her the chance to retaliate, bombarding her with explosion after explosion. Her screams were being cut off by the sound of the blasts, until she landed on her stomach unconscious.

"Now that those flies are dealt with, I'll deal with you, pig," Aoi glared at Ray who didn't bother to struggle from his restrictions. "Oh what's the matter? Are you going to plead for your life? Crying emotionally for your mistakes for being a man?"

"Heh…" Aoi raised her brow at the boy. Instead of being scared of his predicament, he chuckled weakly. "You really think you've killed Gonta so easily? If that's the case, then you're an idiot."

"Gonta…you mean that huge pervert? There's no way he could survive an attack like that," Aoi scoffed in denial. "Even if he did, what would that accomplish for you? I'm still going to kill you."

"Go ahead kill me," Ray dared with a defiant smirk. Aoi recoiled a bit, noticing his eyes showing no signs of fear. "You'll regret it later on."

"You…insolent little pig~!" Aoi snapped. Her tendril hairs began to violently lash out at Ray's body. Ray could only wince as he felt his skin getting cut by crackles end of the whips. "You dare mock the Ultimate Torturer! You along with everyone on this island are nothing but toys for me to break~! That will include the exhibitionist guy calling himself God, I will kill every male on this island and torture every woman to my own desire!"

Todd and Erza were barely able to move with their injuries so , after hearing Aoi's true intentions and her harsh treatment of Ray, they could not let her go.

The only difference was that Erza was slowly getting up to her feet, using one of her swords as a support. Todd on the other hand could only use enough of his strength to sit up. His hilt on his sword was broken only had his Breath Dial. 'Damn it…What can I do against her? The three of us couldn't beat her before she could chant h-'

BUZZZ~!

An echoing buzzing sound cut off his thoughts and everyone else's actions. He noticed Erza and Aoi looking at something behind him with expressions of surprise. When he slowly turned around, he copied their reaction.

A large swarm of Sky Dragonflies were shown in a dark thick cloud emerging from the thick forest and into the battlefield. But Erza, Todd and Aoi were looking at the person being carried by the thick cloud.

His brown uniform was burnt from the chest area, yet no injuries in that region. Yet what made it different was the yellow aura radiating out of his body with his brown hair hovering a bit.

"This pressure…" Erza muttered in pure awe.

"I-Impossible…" Aoi stuttered in disbelief.

"..." Despite the pain he dealt with, Ray let out a weak smirk. He didn't need to turn his head to know who what's going on. "...It's about time…Gonta."

Erza, Todd and Aoi felt the ground tremble just from him landing on it. He glanced at Megumi who laid unconscious, and then shifted to Ray dangling in the air.

"How…" Aoi weakly muttered in disbelief. "How are you still alive after an attack like that?!"

Ignoring her question, Gonta raised his right arm and pointed at her. Dragonflies rush at the woman as if he telepathically ordered them to. By lashing out her hair into multiple crackles, Aoi easily swatted every dragonfly at a fast pace.

While Aoi was focusing on the swarm, Erza slowly arose from her prone position and summoned her signature sword from her Flight Armor. 'Now's my chance, to rescue Ray.'

"Is that the best you can do?" Aoi questioned in a mocked tone after destroying the swarm. Her victory was short-lived when four of her hair whips that were holding onto Ray were suddenly cut. "What…?" Aoi had no time to react because it happened so quickly. Fuming in rage, she turned to her left to find Erza on the opposite side from where she was. "You son of b$#%!"

Before Aoi could lash her anger on Erza, she froze the sheer vibe feeling more powerful than before. Trembling, the armored woman slowly turned to find Gonta who managed to catch the bruised Ray before he could hit the ground.

"Gonta is sorry for letting this happen," Gonta quietly said with his eyes covered by his hair. A dark yellow aura began to surround him. "Gonta will take it from here..."

Erza, and Todd felt a deadly pressure surrounding Gonta. The gentle giant's glowing red eyes were targeting Aoi's stunned ones, driven by a vicious emotion he rarely displayed.

It won't be long before his anger spreads to the rest of the Upper Yard.

Yang:...!

Peace: Is Yang okay?

Shiho: I think he's stunned by the second round between Hibiki and Kouta.

Freddy: He's leaking a lot of drool in his mouth.

Gwen: Yeah it is starting to flood in here, which is really gross.

Sanya: I'm happy that Kouta's finally free from Aoi's spell. I just hope the others don't treat him so hostile.

Raven: What I still wonder is how Hibiki never realized her armor has changed at all?!

Freddy: I think it was more of, focusing on rescuing Kouta that she didn't notice.

Yang: Next time: The Wrath of the Gentle Giant: Gonta vs Aoi!

Gwen: We should probably open the door before this room floods and we drown in Yang's drool.

Peace: Please don't say that with a smirk on your face.
