Suddenly—
BOOM!!!
The battlefield erupted.

❖ Drake & Hibiki vs. Luis – The Dance of Blades and Storm
Luis dashed forward with dual blade magic, each swing slicing the air.
> Luis: "Let me show you real technique."
Drake countered with freezing bursts, while Hibiki launched sharp wind blasts—but Luis spun through them all.
He slashed through Drake's ice wall and nearly grazed Hibiki.
Drake grunted.
> "We can't hold back—Hibiki!"
The two combined Ice Cyclone and Tempest Blades, forcing Luis to retreat—momentarily.

❖ Raelyn, Clod & Akito vs Dekka – Magma Madness
Dekka slammed the ground—lava erupted, scorching the air.
> Dekka: "Burn, kiddies."
Clod warped space, shielding his teammates, while Raelyn shone with radiant light and Akito flung card-shaped wind bombs.
> Raelyn: "We'll counter this heat with brilliance!"
They fought hard—but Dekka's molten strikes kept closing the gap.
Clod strained to warp the ground, buying time.
Akito summoned a trap card—but Dekka melted it.
Dekka smirked. "You're not even warm yet."

❖ Cyrus & Presto vs Scones – Transmutation Frenzy
Scones clapped—the walls turned into razor chains, slashing toward them.
Cyrus raised his hands and unleashed Energy Barriers, which flickered with neon pulses, absorbing the impact.
> Scones: "How flashy."
Presto darted in, lightning crackling across his fists.
> Presto: "Let's fry this guy!"
Cyrus formed Energy Discs and hurled them, slicing through Scones' transmuted terrain—but Scones clapped again, transforming the discs into birds of stone.
Cyrus charged and unleashed a Pulse Burst, erasing the birds mid-air, while Presto struck with a Thunder Barrage—forcing Scones to retreat momentarily.
> Scones: "You're not just brute force… this might be fun."
Still, Scones smirked and altered the battlefield again, turning walls into liquid and ground into spikes.
Cyrus gritted his teeth.
> Cyrus: "We have to end this fast—his magic warps everything."
Presto nodded.
> Presto: "Then let's go all out."
The two readied their final combo.

❖ Lyra, Karen & Lily vs. Likara – The Ghostly Assault
Likara floated, her ghast magic summoning ghostlike creatures.
> Likara: "Let's haunt your dreams."
Karen tried charm magic, but it didn't affect the spirits. Lyra whipped vines to hold them, and Lily healed minor wounds, barely holding the front.
The spirits swarmed—Karen was cornered until Lyra unleashed a Thorn Cage, shielding them temporarily.
> Lyra: "Don't falter—we're not done yet!"

❖ Veil vs. Brody – Shadow vs. Shadow
The two shadows clashed. Fast. Silent. Deadly.
Brody smirked.
> Brody: "So the Shadow Prodigy finally reveals himself."
Veil didn't answer. He used Shadow Strike Mirage, confusing Brody.
Brody sliced through two illusions, but Veil appeared above with a Void Fang Kick.
The ground cracked.
> Brody (laughs): "This is fun."

❖ Criss vs. Arconis – Shielded Rage
Criss slammed the ground—stone waves. Arconis blocked them with stone shield domes, turning defense into offense.
The shields bashed Criss back—but Criss smiled.
> Criss: "That all ya got?"
He created a Stone Armor, charging like a beast.
Arconis countered with a Shield Golem—and the two collided like titans.

Behind the Frontline – Backup in Motion
Teach Lyra and Clara were behind, providing support spells, healing zones, and reinforcement when needed.
Clara's feather enchantments increased agility and speed, while Teach Lyra boosted morale.
But the battle was turning hard—Team Gamaron had momentum.

Elsewhere – Show in Captivity
In a vast sealed chamber—
Show opened his eyes, bound by glowing magical chains.
In front of him stood Byron, calm and sinister.
A glowing crimson crystal floated mid-air—radiating an eerie hum.
> Byron: "You must be confused…" Right ?"
He stepped forward.
> Byron: "You see, this crystal is no ordinary relic. It draws out raw elemental essence—and the Ignion Ruins' magic is tied to flame. But to activate it fully… we needed a catalyst. You, Show."
Show's eyes widened. "Why me?"
> Byron: "You'll understand… someday."
He chanted.
The crystal activated.
It glowed intensely—and began pulling Show's magical energy. His body trembled, flames flickering.
> Byron: "Let the harvest begin."

Back on the Battlefield
The Arcane squad was still fighting hard—realizing something was wrong.
> Karen: "Where is he… where's Show?!"
They all looked up.
A beam of red energy surged through the ruins—
Show's magic... was being drained.
> Raelyn: "We have to get to him—NOW!"
