Sera slowly stood up, panting heavily, but as he turned around, he caught his breath and cracked his neck.

"I think... I think that I've underestimated you two. But enough is enough," Sera announced, spreading his arms up, and then lifting them above his head. A moment later, something appeared in a ball of light, and jumped forwards, landing in front of him. It was a vicious turtle-looking creature that was completely green, with a spiked shell, and razor sharp claws. Sera grinned and nodded confidently. "The Gaian race is a wonderful race, indeed. Far be it from me to claim any understanding of their traditions, but this.. This is useful."

Jenso frowned at Sera and at the turtle. He could summon a familiar like an actual Gaian now? "You're just a dirty thief, and I'm assuming that's also Ross's familiar." Jenso said in a disgusted tone. "You're a great opponent yourself, though. I'll admit that much."

"Yeah, the fact you have to rely on power and technology that are not your own should disappoint you." Jeff said half rambling as he shook off the last bit of his dizziness he then turning to the turtle. "Well gosh that looks friendly... almost makes me not like turtles..."

"Ross' familiar? Feh! I know nothing of such nonsense. I don't quite know what this is, really. All I know is.." Sera stepped forward and slammed both his hands against the turtle's shell and smiled, convinced of his victory.

"...It'll be your end of your nonsensical jabbering..."

In a flash of blue light, the two figured before Jenso and Jeff fused together into one entity. A blinding display overcame their senses for a split second as Sera's power level spiked even further than it had before. As it faded, his body stood taller, and more muscular than before. His hair had grown back, and fluttered brilliantly, overcome by a cascade of blue and white. The Armour he wore was now partially obscured by sharp crystal veins, and his back was protected by a body-fitting shell with several joints that allowed him to bend freely. Sera opened his eyes and an aura of blue magic surrounded him. The elf smiled and rose his hands up, flexing both arms.

"This is... Magnificent."

"And here I thought you couldn't get any uglier" Jeff commented in disgust as he did his best to try and regain his focus. "whelp, I thought holding that focus before was hard, but okay.. okay.. give me a moment here..." He sat down and closed his eyes trying to do his best to put the thoughts of this out of his mind and began to focus on fighting Sera once more with his sage powers slowly returning.

Jenso took deep breaths, as he gazed upon Sera's figure. 'You've gotta be kidding me...He can fuse with it without even knowing what a familiar is?' He thought, and got in a combat stance. The situation didn't look good at all. Sera was even stronger now. "If you think that'll make us give up, you're dead wrong." Jenso stated coldly, waiting to see what Sera would do. He couldn't fight carelessly, especially with the increase in power that Sera had just gained.

Sera took a step forward and chuckled.

"You are strong, far stronger than I was before I attained that Gaian's Ki. Both of you. But you cannot sustain your current power. Neither of you stand a chance here," Sera spat, suddenly losing his calm demeanour, stomping forward another step, "Jenso, that form is unstable. I feel your Ki fluctuating, begging for an escape. It may grant you an enormous boost in power, but soon you will lose it, and return to your base form. And you.." Sera turned to Jeff and took another step forward, cracking the ground with his crystal-covered foot, "You cannot even retain enough focus to keep your wind powers stable! Your energy is balanced, and your speed is ridiculous, but if you fall out of that form so easily.. Hahaha.." Sera launched himself forward at both Jenso and Jeff and shouted angrily. A giant wall of crystals rose behind both Jenso and Jeff, trapping them in a semi-circle as Sera approached with both of his clawed hands at the ready.

"You're finished!"

Jenso glared at Sera as he charged at him and Jeff. He needed to act quickly before it was too late. He began to form white flames in his hands, which began to take the shape of a flame saw. It became twice as big as a regular flame saw, which he launched horizontally at Sera at top speeds as he charged. "EAT...THIS...!! OMEGA SAW!!" He roared. He began to take deep breaths as the white flames around his body slowly began to fade. 'Need to sustain...this form..'

This guy was right, this situation suddenly turned on the tables big time. As it stood holding this form for him indeed was rather difficult and Jenso seemed to be reaching his limit. To make maters worse, this guy seemed to get even tankier and was putting them with there backs against the wall. Sure he could easily escape this, but then what? There wasn't many choices left here and seeing how Jenso was ready to charge in he figured he might as well back him with everything he had.

Jeff's eyes opened and flashed blue once more and his power spiked again with him aiming both of his gauntlets out towards Sera and wind gathered into both of his arm cannons causing them expand almost dangerously.
Jeff's voice echoed loudly as he fired out two huge and highly compressed blasts of wind that had the power to tear through metal with ease. 'lets see how it handles my best attack'

Sera stopped in his tracks and held his arms forward as Jenso's Omega saw reached him, holding it in place for a split second. But as it spun, Sera's body was beginning to drag along the ground. He couldn't stop it entirely. Then he saw Jeff preparing something big. Sera grunted, and jumped up, over the saw, and slammed his hand into the centre of the technique. A force shock wave expanded, and instantly dispersed the attack in a flash of light. Then Jeff's attack came towards him. Instead of taking this one head on, Sera turned his back around, and a giant shell of crystals formed around his body. The wind slammed against it, tearing giant shards off, and sending them flying. By the time the technique had ended, the crystal crumbled away, and Sera was left standing, relatively unharmed. He craned his neck around and smiled before spinning to face the two heroes.

"No focus... No power... On your own, you two have weaknesses that can easily be exploited," Sera mocked again. He dashed towards Jenso and slashed at him with both claws, while also firing a volley of crystals from his left shoulder towards Jeff.

Jenso jumped to the side to avoid one of Sera's claws, and rocket punched at the second claw with his right fist in an attempt to knock Sera's hand aside. He followed up with his left fist immediately, aiming a rocket punch at Sera's chestplate.

As he expected the move failed and with that he lost his main trump cards for a short while. It would be awhile before he could fire them once again unless he focused majorly and refilling the cannons.

"I suppose so.. but you are not without flaw either you vile creature." Jeff spoke as he dashed out of the way of the crystals and attempted to redirect them with the wind having them change directions and spiral upwards into the air before sending them back down with twice the momentum back at Sera while taking time to start putting more wind into the cannons.

Sera's hand was blasted away. His eyes widened as Jenso's second punch came towards him. He attempted to block, but couldn't manage it in time. "Shit! That punch again..!" Sera thought for a split second, and the the sound of bending and cracking resounded from where Jenso's fist struck. Sera was pushed back a few feet, but didn't falter. The crystal veins around his armour had extended to block the punch, but after doing so, they were smashed to pieces, and crumbled away. Sera looked down, worried, but smiled when his armour appeared unscathed. Little did he know, there was a small dent where Jenso had struck. Sera rose a hand and shattered the crystals that Jeff sent towards him with force wave. That wave flew even further, faster than usual, towards Jeff. He set his eyes on Jenso, and dashed forwards with a simple force-empowered punch.

Jenso attempted to dash out of the way of Sera's punch, and launched flame balls at Sera's head. He closed the palm of his left hand, causing the flame balls to explode in mid-air to create a smoke screen in front of Sera's face.

Jeff flew up past the force wave just dodging it by the skin on his teeth, thankfully and landed nearby Jenso realizing now what he was trying to do. 'the chestplate, how did I forget about the chestplate?!' he thought to himself as he nearly lost focus once more, still Jeff maintained the form and proceeded to back the plan Jenso was going with with rapid fire kicked 10 wind scythes at him and his openings that were created at his chestplate.

Sera began laughing, tearing through each of Jeff's wind slashes one by one as he neared Jenso. "More," He grunted, deflecting one, "More, more," he continued, slashing through another and punching through the next, "I'll show you even more!!" Sera eventually made it way towards Jeff and Jenso, suddenly gaining a boost of speed. He slapped Jeff away, and stepped into the weakened Jenso, hitting him in the shoulder with an overhead smash. The result caused Jenso's white flame form to disperse entirely, sending him to the ground.

"Do you see it? The power of Gaia? The power that only I am destined to wield? I will use it to make this city great, to rid it of evils and impurity! I will use Ross' power with my own, I will use it as I please!"

Jenso crashed into the ground and coughed up blood. 'Sh...SHIT...!' Jenso thought, glaring at Sera. "I can't..." Jenso muttered, struggling to sit up and stand but failing to do so. He felt completely drained.

"That man, Lark, was a danger. Ross was a Danger. You are a danger," Sera went on, grabbing Jenso by his hair and lifting him up. "Dangerous men should be killed. You cannot be allowed to live for there to be true peace and happiness..." Sera aimed his other hand at Jenso's heart and began to summon a crystal, sharp enough to pierce Jenso's heart. Jenso felt a warmth build up inside of him as the crystal began to dig into his chest.

"Kill.. I'll kill you.. And then I'll kill Jeff.. And anyone else who poses a threat to my peaceful world.."

Jenso felt it. He was at his limit. But something inside of him pulled him back from the brink. Something give him the will to go on. It wasn't just his fighting spirit anymore. In a flash of flames, something burst fourth from his soul. Sera's eyes widened and his crystal melted. He jumped back just before a stream of flames flew towards his chest.

"What?!" Sera shouted, staring at Jenso in disbelief. Something new had come to defend Jenso. It flapped its mighty wings, covered in- No, composed of fire itself. From within, a familiar had been born to Jenso, with only one urge. To protect him.

Jeff landed again the floor with a solid thud and was knocked into a daze that put him out of his sage form once more. He could only struggle to get up as Sera held Jenso up ready to finish him off. "no... JENNNSSOOOO!" He shouted as the firery creature emerged out of what seemed to be nowhere and began to protect him. Jeff could do nothing else but fall back in awe unable to find the words for what was going on anymore.
