As all three hound beasts launched three fireballs converging into one burgundy sphere, a hydro covered Taylor flew in to tackle it, allowing the two Shadow Brawlers to strike at Arian, forcing her to dissolve some chains to shield from their fists and blade.

Damien burped fire in her face, allowing Calypsa to twirl and strike the chains attempting to hit them, giving Sehki the opening to uppercut her, only to find most of her body covered in chains.

"Your shadow may be tough, but my chains can make even Scutums sweat!"

He made and rode the shadow wave from chains blasting out of her legs as more and more chains pushed him and Calypsa further from her.

As the flames started to push Taylor back, Rigal punched the air back to fly alongside him, forming enough energy from his Eagusts to expand his fellow heir's range. Adding wind pressure to the fierce Volans tackle spell began halting the fireball's movement.

Ainsley summoned a rock slide of rubble to assist their peers into pushing it back, causing it to explode and push all but them away. Vena and Vital turned to Sehki, Arian, and Calypsa, turning to stomp on them. He pulled his ally into the darkness of their shadows to avoid the damage, watching Arian slowly gain control from above.

"Wow, it's really cozy in here," she teased to his chagrin. "Perseus' StellArts can cut her chains but I'll have to use a bit more effort. Think you can give me a picker-upper later?"

His eyes darted in annoyance. "Fine. But you love Andromeda. I thought you'd be more angry having to fight that power?"

"Cuz Perseus managed to save her and help her beat her captors to become one of the Legendary Eighty-Eight heroes. And now I have my Perseus to save someone else for a change," hugging him.

Sehki bit his cheeks to hide his blush. "Sure. Wait, Percy and Andromeda. That's it," forging an idea she helped mold into a plan.

Damien barked, at Amina covered the two back into chains to create her Cerbeus Trifecta when Sehki and Calypsa flew up via an uppercut to Vital's torso, briefly feasting off some of the Void energy before the next member of the Rising Twelve's creation forced them to duck from six front claw slashes.

They retreated to the other heirs.

"Plan time. Taylor, Rigal, you two distract them up close so they can't use those big fireball attacks. Ainsley, can you make a beast big enough for one of us to move around as a dog?'

"Sure but, who's gonna wear dog armor?"

Sehki smiled at Damien, prompting Ainsley to get to work and relaying the rest of the instructions.

The Asylum heir quickly coated Damien in rubble, who was quick to rush at the twins. Arian commanded them to fire but Calypsa launched herself at her, slashing the chains away controlling Vena as the dog tackled Vital.

The brother was about to fire at the dog when Sehki grabbed the hound, flipping to the wall. He merged their shapes together, leaping off with a brutal swing to the Canis Major, pushing its head far enough to shoot Vena instead, pushing her and Arian back into the opposing wall.

"How dare you! Vital!"

Vital swiped his claws at the young adult and dog when Rigal gyrated his hands into a drill, grunting from the force while Taylor dived down, trying to push him away.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but both of you, thanks!"

"Hurry up and just turn them back to normal!"

"Shut it, we're here for Xia, not you."

Still petty huh? Of course, I'm the same, while Damien parked in defiance. He forged the dark cannon with both of their fire power, as he and Rigal launched a smoldering storm into Vena's chest.

Both siblings howled in pain as Calypsa jousted against Arian's chain strikes waved up and around, grinding against the blades and getting in close to strike her when Arian ensnared them around her arms.

"I'll crush you under your own metal!" She put her arms together to break out a massive chain high enough to reach the ceiling and swung it down at her.

A sturdy golem jumped and got shattered in the way while Ainsley grabbed and freed Calypsa with her own weapon, shaking the ground to shift them away from the impact.

"You're always been watching our back," forming a rapier around their hand. "That distance feels close, but I want to start bridging that gap. Sehki, go!"

"Rigal, Taylor, go wild! I'll catch you!"

While Calypsa smiled as the two cornered Arian, Vena and Vital were about to step on them. Sehki grabbed the other two, plunging them into the darkness and sending them flying out to tackle and smack the siblings, using their own size to tunnel in and out of the silhouette.

Each time Rigal and Taylor would blast and strike Xia's peers, he pulled them in if they were smacked or became a target, swiping the beast's attempts to reach them, while wearing them down.

"Fire on all of them," Arian ordered, pulling her hands down to try and ensnare Vena and Vital when Ainsley took a gut punch to the chest to hold them so Arian's arms were restricted.

"Now!"

Sehki grabbed the rapier. With the twins were about to fire their breath, he and Calypsa took their blades, hitting the locks fired from the Saiban native's legs and torso away for her to carve them into pieces, getting so close Arian decided to target him.

He flicked up a wall to cover her view of them. They burst out with Arian targeting him, only for him to cut apart the chains with Perseus' blade and Calypsa's wide swing catching the rest.

They switched weapons?

Calypsa pulled her down, allowing him to uppercut the chains off her, as Vena and Vital's flames were aimed for them.
