Penny: Okay! I'll make the first move!

*Penny launches both her spinners at Deke, wrapping them around both his wrists, restraining him*

Penny: Ha! Got you!

Deke: Mmph, meddlesome brat...

Penny: Now, come...here!

*Penny tugs back on her spinners, attempting to reel in Deke like a fish. As she pulls, Deke begins to slide towards her*

Deke: Hm? It won't be that easy!

*Deke plants his feet into the ground, and rears back in the opposite direction, effectively resisting Penny's pull*

Penny: Oh, so you think you're clever, huh? Well try this!

*Penny tugs even harder, pulling Deke towards her inch by inch*

Deke: Not a chance...

*Deke steps backwards and pulls his arms back, slowly pulling Penny towards him instead*

Penny: Aaah! Why you...!

Reese: Penny!

Penny: Reese...*struggles* Ergh...what are you doing!?

Reese: Huh?

Penny: What are you...standing around for!? Hurry...and..attack him! While I have him distracted!

Reese: Ah! Right!

*While Penny and Deke are trapped in a power struggle, Reese takes the opportunity to quickly sneak behind Deke*

Reese: Alright, he didn't see me. Now I got a perfect shot!

*Reese loads a single arrow into his bow. Meanwhile, Deke gets the upper hand on Penny and mananges to gain total control*

Penny: Aagh! *to herself* He's...too strong! I can't hold him!

Deke: Looks like the tables have turned in my favor. Now you're finished.

*Deke uses Penny's attack against her, grabbing hold of the ropes and using them to launch Penny into the air*

Penny: Uwah!!

Deke: Haaaah!!

*Deke then tugs downwards, pulling Penny down and causing her to smash into the ground below*

Penny: Uugh!!

Deke: Hah. You were a fool to think that you could overpower me.

Penny: Ungh...Now Reese! Do it!

Reese: Ice Fang!

Deke: Hm!?

*Deke turns behind him only to see an arrow laced in ice heading straight for him*

Deke: Gah!

*With no time to evade, Deke simply puts up his arm to defend. The arrow strikes his arm, completely covering it in ice*

Deke: Agh! No! Ergh...

Reese: Yeah! I got him!

*The weight of Deke's ice-laden arm drags him to the ground, dropping him on one knee*

Penny: Haha! How did you like our little plan, Deke!? Was it cool enough for you!?

Deke: So...that struggle was just a ploy to throw me off guard. Tricky...

Penny: Now I'm going to put an end to you!

*Penny dashes towards Deke at full speed, twirling her spinners rapidly*

Deke: You think...I'm finished? ...No. This is only the beginning!

Penny: Huh!?

Deke: Fire Dome!!!

*Deke raises his free arm into the air, generating a hemisphere of fire that spreads outwards toward Penny and Reese*

Penny: Ah! What the--!?

Reese: Penny! Look out!!

*Reese runs up to Penny and embraces her, as if trying to protect her. But in the end, the two are struck by the fire dome and sent flying backwards*

Reese/Penny: Uaaaggggh!!

Deke: Hmph, pathetic. You two are no match for my strength.

Penny: Ungh...darnit. We couldn't...do it...

Reese: Guys...forgive us. We tried...

Deke: Hmm...that's four down. So that only leaves...one more.

*Deke looks towards Lilia*

Lilia: Ah!

Blue: (Oh no, he's going for Lilia! I have to break out of this cage and help her!)

*Deke slowly walks towards Lilia*

Deke: Are you ready to face me?

Lilia: Ungh...

*Lilia draws her daggers and gets into combat stance*

Blue: Lilia? No! Don't fight him alone!

Lilia: I have no choice, Blue. If I give in now, he'll kill us all. I have to fight for our sake!

Blue: But...

Lilia: Blue, I have to do this!

Blue: ...Fine. But I'm not going to leave you alone! I'll find a way out of this cage and help you fight!

Lilia: Okay, I'll hold him off until then!

*Lilia runs off to meet Deke in battle, as Blue tries to figured out a way to escape the Flare Cage*

Blue: *to himself* Now...what can I do? Could a spell work? But...which one...?

*Lilia and Deke exchange blow after blow with eachother, but unsurprisingly, Deke once again gains the upper hand, knocking away a weakened Lilia*

Lilia: Uagh!!

Deke: Hmph. Is that all you can muster up? If so, then you are by far the weakest member of this group.

Lilia: *panting* Hah...ha...

Deke: It would suit you to disappear...

*Deke walks up to Lilia and grabs her by the neck*

Lilia: Aagh!

Blue: Lilia!!!

Jawo': Lilia...ugh...no...

Lilia: L-let me...go!! *struggles*

Blue: Urgh! (This is bad! I have to do something fast!) *to himself* Think, Blue! Think! ...Ah! I got it!

*Deke then lifts Lilia into the air*

Deke: I think you know this move quite well.

Lilia: Ungh...

*Deke's hand gripped in Lilia's neck begins to glow a fiery red*

Deke: Flames...of Destruct--!

Blue: Form a torrential vortex, and engulf the evils spirts!

Deke: Hm? What...?

Blue: Tidal Wave!!!

*As is from nowhere, water begins to flood the inside of the cage, submerging Blue*

Blue: (I only hope this works. Alright...let's see what you can do!)

*The water continues to fill inside of the cage, eventually surpassing its capacity*

Deke: W-what is he...doing...?

Blue: (Come on! Almost...got it!)

*Not being able to contain the high volume of water, the cage gives in and explodes, releasing Blue along with the mass of water he created*

Deke: Aah! Impossible! He broke my Flare Cage!

Lilia: Ah! Blue! You did it!

Blue: Let her go, Deke.

Deke: Never. She will suffer my raging inferno.

Jawo': Oh, I don't think she will...

Deke: Hn!?

Jawo': Crystal Formation: Duster Trap!

*Jawo's blade explodes, causing a flurry of crystal powder to spread around Deke's feet. The powder then reforms and hardens around his legs, trapping him in place*

Deke: What!? It's trapped me! Hmph. No matter. I'll do away with it shortly...

Jawo': Now, Blue! Before he gets away!!

Blue: Right!

*Blue prepares a spell*

Blue: Aqua Laser!!

*A high-pressure bolt of water fires from Blue's hand and heads straight towards Deke. The laser strikes Deke, freeing Lilia from his grip while carrying him all the way the other side of the room, where the laser smashes him against a wall*

Deke: Uuuaaaaagggh!!

Jawo': Haha! Yes, Blue! We got him!

Blue: Jawo'! Are you feeling okay?

Jawo': Of course! I told you I just needed a little time to rest, didn't I? Now I'm back at 100% and ready to fight!

Blue: Yeah!

*Blue turns to Lilia and addresses her*

Blue: Lilia...are you alright?

Lilia: I'm...I'm fine. He didn't hurt me too badly...

Blue: Okay. But even still, I want you to leave this to me and Jawo'. Let us handle it.

Lilia: Hm. *nods* Just be careful.

*Afterwards, Deke rises from the ground to face the group again, although severly injured*

Deke: You...*panting* Hah...hah...

Jawo': Back for more, huh? Haven't you had enough yet?

Deke: This fight...is far from over. Playtime has ended. This time I'm not holding back!
