Sehki didn't expect to tear up, Calypsa's pushed Ram back more furious at the sight of her old mentee, even Lorena was too stunned to react.

Candy howled like a crying bear, freezing her tears and slapped the air with the spreader. She started running, reckless firing with the gatling gun at Cluster, who stared at Cree.

"Such a powerful waste, fighting for the fleeting fate of fae," charging magic into his body. "Farewell."

"Get away from him!"

"Candy, calm down!" He dashed into her shadow, lunging out to block it while Candy caught up, charging at his attacker head on.

"Leave my family alone!" She quickly turned to him, quickly freezing up his burns and wounds in time.

"Cute. But you have barely a fraction of his power."

Sehki covered her and Cree. "Don't fall for it, he's trying to take us out one by one! Cree wouldn't want you to die!"

Candy's rage filled eyes couldn't stop pouring either emotion.

"You'd do the same for Flint: I won't let him get hurt for my sake anymore!"

Lorena swung in, leaping from Ram's portals to catch Cree.

"I'll go, just don't be reckless," swinging away. Sehki tanked Cluster's attempts to shoot her down but Candy's rage propelled him to push off the ground to be her shield against Cluster's defending and countering each of her attacks until they got caught in a frozen trap.

Sehki took a punch as she crushed her hand, turning the ice into a stone cold bear trap that clamped them, using it to stab at Cluster recklessly. Their bodies bobbed easily away from them, eventually shattering her blade.

"He wasted his life to protect you? What a shame," gut punching her. Sehki had to umbrella the pillars into her light while Calypsa tried twisted Ram's portals as they went to grab Candy. She spat earth into the Astrovoids hands, clutching and freezing it into a claw, and skirting underneath to slash at Cluster's limbs into the trap.

Sehki jumped to her aid but fell into Ram's portals, who summoned a curved spear in the shape of their horns. It forced him and Calypsa to dance away from them. As the Heralds tried to warn and protect them, Candy had filled the floors with ice forcing Cluster to hover slightly above the ground.

With her speed, she forged the bear claws with the spreader, skating and spinning around to trap him in a vortex of her endless wrath.

She shot them down seeing Cluster cover themselves in a split second, watching their arm slowly recover. All her mind told her was that she needed to end this quickly, accelerating across the field and spreading all her magic through both arms, forcing them to prepare a scythe.

"Don't do it!"

Cree, Sehki, Lorena, Bodin, Ainsley, thank you. Watch me.

Clutching her arms, the little cub's constellations lit up inside her spirit with more power than she was expecting, letting her love and rage out into her fists.

Cluster and Candy slammed and uppercutted each other's torso. Her body dropped to the screams of her friend and lover. Even Calypsa used Hercule to try and patch her body up.

"Just as fragile as your ice spells. You're nothing compared to your brother."

She thought of what he would say, raising her arm to blindside them with a powerful snowball spell freezing the leader's expectations alongside their own arm.

I'm minor, but that's enough. Lorena, Sehki, the rest is up to you.

"How dare you," spitting rage with a spear to finish her off when Lorena's palms pushed them back while grabbing and pulling in Candy.

Bodin flew in immediately, sending eagle after eagle at Cluster to buy them time while Candy's teammates checked to see blood leaking and her heart rate fading. Sehki could see her romantic paramour about to seek revenge.

"Get her to the Health Center, fast!"

Cluster's blinding speed gave them little time when Nyla shielded them, while Delphine and Kayla tried pushing them back.

"I can't believe we're helping her."

"Go!"

Bodin used the distraction to reluctantly escape with her while Calypsa chained Ram's arms and legs from one another.

"I can't hold them for long. Hurry!"

Cluster dove in with  hand-to-hand Sehki endured for Lorena's fists to strike through, cracking his arm. He used the discretion to hold them in place.

"Cree and Candy have both hit him with these massive attacks. Why isn't he going down?"

Lorena pondered that, calling over Calypsa to make an Apus spell to hold Cluster at bay while they switched focus to Ram, wrapping them in her limbs so they couldn't retaliate.

"Wait...he's an awakened Zodiac user."

"Huh?"

"When one awakens their Zodiac, the boost they gain from their abilities amplifies, but grants a massive boost of mana. I've been boosting my strength and defense, but he's probably using them in small bursts."

"And if Voids feed off negative energy...it's a mental amp!"

"So stay calm. They may be stabilized but they aren't invulnerable," glaring at Cluster's arm. "He'll have to waste it in order to regenerate. That's our goal."

Cluster's beam shaped through Ram's body, forcing her to jump off.

"I see now, Prince Shakuheld. They're the reason you weren't consumed with wrath."

"Excuse me?"

"Cree Uyocron was your physical incentive."

"Candy Uyocron provided emotional inducement."

"Which makes you his intellectual confidant and lynchpin. That's how you were more proficient in disrupting Taylor's Void transformation," masked face now parallel to Lorena's.

"So I know who to eliminate before assimilating you."

Spinning a bo staff of light, he pointed and fired a ball between their faces, proclaiming his target.

"Lorena Sanchez, you're next."
