Sol thought to himself, "This divine clash thing is extremely confusing, but I'll figure it out as we fight."
Nobu suggested, "Hey Sol, take the lead through Mind Capping."
Sol agreed, "Smart idea, Nobu... focus, focus, focus! Can you all hear me? Anyone?"
Nobu replied, "I can, Sol."
Kayge confirmed, "I can hear you."
Zeyta added, "Yes, I can hear you too."
Aza noted, "This is creepy, but great, it worked... What's the plan?
Sol: "Ok here's the plan."
12 seconds pass...
Cyro thought to himself, "What was that weird vision? Did it mean anything?"
As the group launched their attack, Cyro sneered, "Here they come... Let's fight, you weaklings!"
Kayge threw small needles at Cyro, who blocked them with ease. However, Kayge then yelled, "Nobu, now!"
Nobu pulled upwards, then left and right, causing Cyro's hands to open wide, as if giving a big hug. Cyro pulled his hands inward to fight against the strings.
Zeyta appeared behind Cyro with his Blue Scythe. Cyro turned his energy to his back to block the scythe, making Zeyta flip backwards.
Kayge positioned himself directly in front of Cyro, placing multiple needles on his chest before getting kicked extremely hard by him.
As Cyro charged to break out, Kayge told Nobu, "Now!"
Nobu pulled more strings, stretching Cyro's arms out further. Cyro became furious and started charging to break out.
Aza came from above with both big hammers, declaring, "Time to sandwich ya!"
The hammers appeared from both sides to crush Cyro, hitting him directly in the front and back. Cyro's body pushed both hammers off himself, then he made his hands free. He went to crush Aza, but she banged her hammer off the ground, sending Cyro up on a pillar of rocks.
Cyro was now about eighty feet in the air, and he saw Nobu at the top of the wall Aza had made previously. He noticed Nobu was in his flamed-eye form again and had an arrow cocked back, ready to launch.
Nobu shot the arrow, and it headed towards Cyro at full speed. Cyro charged up his fist and did the air claps to dismantle the arrow before it hit.
However, this left him wide open from the back. Sol came in with his sword fully charged and all white, ready to strike.
Kyll thinks to himself, "Oooo no, this isn't good, little brother. They caught you slacking, and your natural armor is broken," Kyll observed. "I see now, they launched a coordinated attack to break your outer armor. They must have figured out your shelled defense, but how? They really must be mind-communicating to act so organized."
Kyll continued, "That Nobu kid has been fighting Cyro; he must have provided intel or something. The needles Kayge used were mere distractions to get Nobu's strings attached. The girl with the sword attacked his back, making him use his energy, then the hammer chick's attack damaged Cyro's back and front."
Kyll analyzed, "The arrow made him focus all his energy on blocking the front attack, leaving his back exposed because he used Shell Defense twice. Then Sol has been sitting in the corner over there, charging up a full-blade attack to hit his open area."
Kyll sneered, "But even fully charged, his attack won't do much damage to Cyro. He's not strong enough."
Kyll burst into laughter, "Hahahahahaha! Great moves and tactics, you all are definitely communicating in some weird way. But it matters not, you won't affect him. Hahaha! All that planning is futile."
Nobu countered, "Normally, yes, but with his armor broken, he's vulnerable. Plus, he's met his match, his rival."
Nobu urged, "Go, Sol! Finish him with the Divine Clash!"
Kyll mocked, "Divine Clash? Hahahahahaha! You fool, that's not real!"
Nobu replied, "We shall see."
Sol shouted, "SM - Holy Execution!" A giant white beam shone from the sword as it grew longer, then expanded with a bright aura. Everyone was shocked.
Kyll exclaimed, "What? Nooooooooo! How? Divine Clashes are real?"
Nobu urged, "Finish this, Sol!"
Kyll panicked, "No, brother!" and jumped ahead to get to Cyro.
Nobu smirked, "Now, Aza!"
Aza appeared above Kyll with two hammers, shouting "SM5 - Double Hammer Cannon!" Kyll was shocked as Aza hit him, sending him flying to the ground. Kyll attempted to jump up but was surrounded by a cage made of needles.
Kayge shouted, "Zeyta, now!"
Zeyta stood in front of the cage, focusing on her forbidden move, "FM - Swords Graveyard!". The blades from the ground came up into the cage instead of the entire arena. Thousands of blades entered the needle prison.
Cyro shouted, "No, brother!"
Sol reassured, "Don't worry about him, you're done!" and hit Cyro with full power at his back with the attack. The whole sky exploded in a massive shockwave.
