Would have to give his all to protect the Shroom sir, the girl that stood besides him and, ultimately, himself. Whether that meant he was going to die, he did not know, but he was not about to keel over and allow this beast to devour their lights. He was going to FIG- [color=ed1c24]"Huh?"[/color] Eli muttered out as he felt the sudden wind behind him, as another bird came onto the scene. Followed by a rowdy crowd of Nikki, Blank, Blin and Sera. Not just them, though. The scene suddenly filled with a wolf, a phoenix and some other things that Eli just shortly took notice off. Could they be... [color=ed1c24]"Could they be [i]their[/i] lights?"[/color] Upon asking himself that, Eli looked to his shoulder, to the slowly forming ball of light. It started taking shape, becoming more and more visible in the daylight. He was right, the source of those [color=ed1c24]"pretty awesome"[/color] companions his friends seemed to have surely had to be in the balls. What would his be? A massive dragon? A cunning fox? Maybe a flying snake, with the fangs of a dragon and a wisdom of a tortoise?! The possibilities were endless. for a second, the drums were rolling in Eli's head, his heart was beating hard and his breath grew heavier. The excitement was unbelievable. Plus, with Nikki and Blank in the picture - he wasn't all that afraid that the beasts would be dealt with. He was sure Nikki would take that opportunity to take them down. Possibly later rub it in Eli's face as to why he didn't take them down himself. Or something. Well - she was about to see the great power of the flying fox like snake with the fangs of a tortoise and a wisdom of a dragon! She was about to witness-!

It was not even just a tiny squeak, but the tiniest of squeaks. [color=ed1c24]"You are the awesomely powerful dragon-like tortoise fox?"[/color] Eli asked, scratching the back of his head, looking as dumbfounded as one could. Another squeak. [color=ed1c24]"I... well... aren't you a... fiery little fella?"[/color] Eli patted it on its head, which made it produce even cuter sounds. It looked around for a couple of seconds, seemingly taking the battlefield into consideration. Its expression grew serious. Eli felt the change in the vibe. [color=ed1c24]"I knew it!"[/color] Eli raised his voice as if noticing a change in the air around him. [color=ed1c24]"You are a cunning little one, got me fooled for a second! C'mon now, transform into the godlike powerful shiny phoenix of the afterlife... with the wisdom of a THOUSAND tortoises!"[/color] And on cue with Eli's words, the squirrel's fur started shining brighter and brighter. It became warmer and warmer. Until finally... The little one looked at Eli and started rubbing its head onto his shoulder. A sign of affection. The warm smile returned to its face, resulting in Eli sighing with the force of a rhino. By the time he looked up, both beasts were down and out, seemingly taken care of by his friends. [color=ed1c24]"Let's say you did that, huh? Yeah... you buffed them or something..."[/color] He sat down on the ground, taking the fire squirrel into his hands. [color=ed1c24]"Let's call you... Squishy. Lieutenant von Squishy. We'll work on your powers later."[/color] He said before turning his attention to his friends. Blin was alright, fainted, but that was normal. That was a relief indeed. [color=ed1c24]"Great job guys, synergy for the win!"[/color] [/center]
