"Ainsley, what are you doing here?"

"We have to take down Gorgon fast! The Malora demons after Celestial got weaker once the Shadow Brawlers took down the Cassie girl. If we can stop them both right now, this ends."

"But your dad!"

"I know, Wali, take my place and go help my old team and dad! Sehki and I can handle this."

"I've got more experience fighting the Nuckelherd than both of you!"

"That's why I need you there in case something's missing," bending and driving them away from Gorgon's continuous attempts to break their dome. "And if you've been training Sehki, that means he's ready to help me take them down."

"You trust us both that much?"

"You had every right to be mad at us for blaming you all for what happened. It's time I returned the favor," ejecting him out and shooting him like a rocket towards the NAGA building.

"You won't escape!" Fari tried firing a street level block at him, but Ainsley tore both hands into the ground, forging the destruction and malleable soil, dust and rubble to make a pillar breaking it.

They weren't done, weaving the ground and shifting the entire space around them into a wooden cage trapping the four of them inside. They tapped Sehki on the shoulder.

"Let's transcend our limits."

He smiled. "And drown evil into darkness."

Fari and Gorgon snarled.

"Let's take down these spoiled princes, old hag."

"Twenty-nine's too old? Either way, you idiots are poisoned with the delusion you're ready for adulthood. Allow me," forming snake blades gauntlets leaking poison, "to inject your antidote."

When Wali showed up, Paleun was using his Rat Evolution to tear through multiple Constains.

"Don't you have people to help? Dango and President Spica ran down already!"

He raced down to the building, finding Candy and Bodin spraying and containing fires going on in the building, Heath's plants saving his workers, and Dango's snakes biting on them, explaining quickly she was blending antidotes before there was an altercation.

"I know my cousin's experiments just as much. She's after something specific."

Ainsley attempted to fend off Gorgon bending and contorting her giant snakes, altering size and shape to throw them off guard, striking at blinding speeds. Even replicating Bodin's style and molding a mini dragon left them cornered.

Sehki flew to their aid. "I'm coming!"

Fari drifted off her floating platform to block him.

"Did you think I'll let you run from me, Sehki?"

"You'll get turned to snake food first, Spica!"
"I'll take you head on!"

Ainsley countered Gorgon, widening back and launching her snakes, creating armor combining their usual golem and the qilin, holding them back.

Now!

"I'll finish you," Fari yelled, hurling several roads at Sehki. He chuckled, using Chameleon Soul to swing off and kick off one after the other, flying straight to Gorgon and Ainsley, launching earth spears in the snake's mouth.

"Cassiopeia Art: Majestic Confinement!" The thin, large spears of rock they thrusted inside of Gorgon's hair snakes sprawled and stabbed the inside while sprouting out to reach the bane of her head.

"Huh?"

Controlling her entire upper half, Ainsley infused enough power to pull and throw the snakes with Gorgon's body in toe into the other side of the arena. Sehki grinned, summoning the entire Ophichus beast, sending them flying into Gorgon and swallowing her whole.

"Ophiuchus Art: Serpent Break!"

The beast's fangs devoured her familiars, spitting her out and ramming Gorgon's body crashing into the cage. She coughed out saliva, completely spent and slipping down.

Fari laughed, glowing green-brown, birthing a lengthy sidewalk heading for Ainsley's direction with the pressure nudging them back up. Blasting up like a rocket, she charged with tunnel vision to eliminate the "weaker" heir.

"I'll rip you to pieces and steal back every cell you took from me, Ainsley!"

Sehki's foot swung down, dragging her away from his friend before they could collide.

"What?"

His eyes flared purple, causing her to recollect about a woman Kesh said never to cross in the heat of battle.

"Did you think our fight was over, Fari?"

She grinned, feeling her energy fading, gripping all eight hands regardless.

"Sleipnir Art: Octarmed Devastation!"

"Ophiuchus Art," creating six condensed shadow hands, "Yamato-No-Orochi!"

Both of them simultaneously punched each other in the face & stomach, constantly parrying each other's fists to pummel each other's bodies, locking their hands to stop their adversary's limbs, crashing and slamming into Fari's pavements to knock their opponent out.

With their arms restrained, Sehki and Fari's eyes glowed purple and green, bashing their heads against each other repeatedly through their descent, clashing their faces for dominance.

"Sorry for the wait, Sehki, let's end this!"

Fari noticed Ainsley in the corner of their eye transmuting the entire cage they were trapped in into a giant blade rising with their arm as Sehki was ripping the Void essence out of here, weakening her, unable to escape.

"Asylum Avalanche!"

The blade shattered Fari's multi armed transformation, shooting her far into the sky until she crashed into the bark of a tree two hundred degrees into the air.

Ainsley tried collecting what magic energy was left to keep themselves not drained from the encounter, connecting with the tree to get Fari landing safely and hit Gorgon into their orbit.

"I wasn't expecting that at all. Not bad for the weakest heir."

"It's like you told Xia. If we can't be perfect, then I'll keep growing till I carve my own road."

Both of them high fived, declaring to the two their victory, only to watch them both dissolve into nothing.

"That was only seventy-five percent of our power."

"You got lucky! Next time, we'll crush you for good."

"Those were copies?"

"Gorgon must've distributed her and Fari's energy into two alternate bodies completely made of their own energy."

"But then that means-"

"This was a diversion! We have to get back, now!"
