"I already have." came the reply as Sagralia moved into action. The Spirit Bond allowed the two to communicate without words, and throughout the entire exchange battle plans had been forming in Itsuki's mind - though they had been very general and of little use until Axel had brought Chu out. The shadowy aura that naturally surrounded Sagralia was intensified, indicating that it was charging a move, and it began by firing a single Effigy of Loathing headed directly for Chu. Simultaneously, it sowed seeds, and prepared its Trinity Force, currently with the elements Tide, Tide and Stream. The battle would be somewhat unexciting to begin with, for Sagralia's style was one of winning a war of attrition, and it was at the start that they were weakest. In order to do much, Itsuki reasoned that Chu would have to be extremely aggressive immediately, which could backfire if he was not careful. It would be a good test of Axel's mettle.
