Jenso's fist crashed the second dome clean open, sending him through to the final Dome that was no larger than a large cart in height. But as he entered the final areas, the two domes behind him closed shut in an instant, and the final dome sprouted hundreds of little spikes. Suddenly, the middle dome began to shrink, pulling Jenso towards the spikes helplessly.

Jenso's eyes widened as he was pushed to the spikes. "Shit..!" He shouted, turning to face the middle dome that pushed him. There was a chance that Orobo's core was within the final dome, but it wouldn't matter if he ended up getting impaled. He aimed another punch at the middle dome, hoping to make another opening for him to escape as a surge of power rushed through him.

Jenso punched, but it was no use. The distance between him and the spikes continued to narrow. Jenso could barely hear Dacer's arrows striking the outer dome, but he seemed to be making no progress himself.

Jenso grit his teeth as the spikes closed in on him. He moved forward a bit as a surge of power rushed through him. He rammed his fist into the ground below him, hoping to make a crack within. He would slip his hands into the crack and rip out several rocks until he made a hole big enough for him to hide within and for the middle dome to pass over him.

As soon as Jenso dug his way into the ground, it closed up and trapped him. Orobo had total control over earth, and Jenso had just sealed his fate with that one move. The granite moved closer to his head, almost pressing against his ear. It seemed that there wasn't much he could do to escape..

Jenso glared at the granite that was about to crush him. Was this the end? 'I can't give up...I have to keep trying!' He thought. He launched a barrage of punches at the regular rocks on his side, trying to make an opening and climb away from under the granite that was about to crush him and move below a regular rock ceiling. A surge of power rushed through him as he attempted to launch himself out of the ground with his feet, back into the middle dome. He would try to push the ground open with both hands as he attempted to launch himself out, and rip out a piece of rock in the process, and throw it at the final spiked dome with great strength.

Jenso narrowly avoided his imminent demise, and found himself above ground, merely yards away from the spikes the surrounded the core. But thinking quickly, he pulled a shard of stone and crushed a small portion of the spikes. They seemed to be more fragile than the rest of the granite, but he still wasn't save just yet.

Jenso landed on the ground and glared at the small area where he had destroyed the spikes. 'Man...I need a stronger attack to break through or I'm finished!' He thought. He began to think about Dacer's familiar, Tiger. He really thought that having a familiar was amazing, but he wasn't a Gaian. Maybe...what if he had a dragon as familiar? That would be great! Flames violently bursted out of his left arm. "Well, it's not exactly getting a familiar, but I might as well give it my all one last time!" He shouted, as he punched at the small area without spikes. As he punched, the flames on top of his head took the shape of a dragon's head as he punched with the force of an actual charging dragon.

"FLAME DRAGON PUNCH!!!!"

Jenso's arm melted the very spikes that might have scratched his face and lower torso as he neared the dome, and crashed against the white stone with relentless power. The sudden fusion of Ki and arcane energy seemed to come from nowhere, more than enough to crush Orobo's inner barrier and shatter an entire half of its shape, leaving him open to attack. He stood there, and looked at Jenso in surprise. He seemed too distracted by something else to react, or maybe it was..

Looking at his Gem, there were several pieces of Granite lodged within it, launched at an insanely high speed by Jenso's attack earlier. He was stunned, and his form was losing shape as his basket-ball sized gem cracked..

Jenso stared in shock at Orobo as well. 'Holy shit...did I really...did I really do it?' He thought, staring at Orobo's cracked gem. Jenso wasn't sure just how he did it, but he managed to break the final dome. "I'm sorry about this...but you brought it upon yourselves when you made that meteor to destroy the entire village of Orobo.." Jenso told Orobo, and took a step forward as he thrusted his right arm forwards in order to destroy Orobo's gem. What he did needed to be done, but Jenso never really took enjoyment in killing.

Orobo's gem shattered against Jenso's fist like a glass jewel. Without the ability to shift his form and protect himself from Jenso, he was unable to dodge, or protect himself. With a loud crashing flash of orange light, Orobo's form, and his barriers, turned to dust and fell apart, leaving Jenso in the center of the display, standing victorious over the remains of the dead elemental. All the remained was a pile of broken ore, now.

"Whoa," Dacer called out, waving at Jenso from beside the metal door. He took aim with his bow and blasted a hole in the middle of the iron just before turning back to Jenso and smiling, "What the hell was that? Haha!"

"How the hell did you break the barrier like that? Was it because I was distracting him? You'd think that he would have a better grasp on his inner defenses, but.." Dacer paused and waved Jenso over, "Guess not!"

"Well, uh...I punched it!" Jenso responded with a wide grin. "With a flame dragon punch! It was amazing dude, holy shit!!" He shouted loudly as his voice echoed throughout the mountain. "Alright, let's keep going!" He added, and headed into the temple through the hole Dacer made.

"Flame... Dragon..?" Dacer asked slowly, "Whatever you say, sport. I find it hard to believe you busted through that thing with just arcane energy and brute force, though. That barrier had to be flooded with arcane energy that outclasses both of us. You couldn't, unless.." Dacer paused and followed Jenso into the mountain temple, thinking it over carefully. The main entrance lead into a long hall, lined with torches that glowed bright orange against the dark iron floors. The hall met a large circular room, and at its center, a scale model of the earth was shown. It showed a massive single continent that took up more than half the world, and on the other side, as it rotated, it showed many small islands. There were also large glowing spots on the large continent that looked like the meteors. A red one, a blue one, a green one, but... Orobo's meteor was darkened now.

There were four massive iron doors to the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest respectively as well, with elemental symbols engraved in them. The other two elementals seemed dormant, but Pharie's door, made obvious by the blizzard mural engraved in its length, was glowing. Light flooded its etched artwork. Dacer whistled, impressed by the giant temple. "Reminds me of Gaia's temple... In fact, this place is almost.." Dacer paused and looked at the giant globe that floated in the temples center. "Exactly the damn same!"

Jenso looked around the temple as he and Dacer moved, trying to take in every detail. He frowned as he looked at the globe. "One down, three more to go..." He muttered. "We should try to deal with Pharie first...the other two might be less dangerous for now since they seem dormant!" He said, pointing at her door.

"I wouldn't bother them if their meteors aren't active," Dacer remarked, pointed at the globe. The orbs glowed, but weren't blinking like Pharie's in the north. "They won't leave their rooms unless we fuck with them- Well uh.. I think."

"Wait...so you think we can end this without killing Fire and Air? I think that'd be for the best, yeah...no point killing them if they're not causing any problems. And bothering them might get them to activate their meteors as well.." Jenso replied to Dacer, glaring at Pharie's door. "Can you blast a hole in Pharie's door?"

"Don't need'ta," Dacer commented. Tiger abruptly hopped to the foot of the massive door and Dacer rose his bow to its center. The bow glowed with a blue energy, and the door swung open slowly, revealing a contorted mass of ice near the center, channeling its magic power. There stood a black and blue orb, just like Orobo's near the center of the beastly figure, but she didn't noticed them just yet.

Jenso stared in awe as Dacer opened the door. "Wow, cool!" He commented, glaring at the blue and black orb in the distance. It had to be Pharie's core. He gave Dacer a quick nod and dashed into the room, ready to punch at the orb. He doubted that he'd get the chance however, prepared for Pharie's techniques.

Jenso's feet were suddenly stuck in the ground, halting him. Looking down, he might notice a sheet of ice covering the entire room's floor. Tiger began to dash forward, but the doors slammed shut in front him and Dacer, trapping them out of the room. Dacer's voice echoed quietly...

"I can't open it? what the hell!!"

Pharie turned towards Jenso and glared at him through a pair of hollow eyes.
