      Elizabeth: "Now!-" *She gagged in mid-sentence and wheezed, as her eyes suddenly glowed an eerie yellow colour.*

      Kath: "Hee hee hee.." *She casually lowered her arm, smirking in an impressed-like manner.* "You should not try to reach a level you have no chance of grasping in the first place."

      Lehi: (What's happening? Why isn't Elizabeth's Ougi manipulating her movement?)

      Kath: (I understand we are meant to keep them alive, but-) *Her eyes glowed an eerie yellow colour, causing Elizabeth to stop breathing.*

      Cortax: "No!"

      Elizabeth: "K-Kah-, harh, uh?" *She struggled to inhale and spoke with quivering lips, dropping to her knees.*

      Lehi: (I will stop her!-)

      Kath: "And you-" *She spoke in a stern voice without looking away from Elizabeth, filling Lehi with fear, as if he knew she was talking to him.*

      Lehi: *He started to dance with his knees, causing a blue sigil-like glyph to form underneath him.* "Power of the deep depths, summon the soothing aqua and flow with the spirits that borrow your power, AQUATIC RAPIDS"

      *A swirl of concentrated water whooshed around Lehi, extinguishing the web-like flames.*

      Lehi: *He gritted his teeth and swayed his arms, causing the water to string towards Kath.* "Ougi."

      Kath: "Using an Ougi while concentrating on an active Remenistal?" *She stepped to the side and glanced at Lehi, as a wall of fire exploded the water.* "Astonishing."

      Lehi: *He watched steam sway around Kath, as black tattoo-like markings drew themselves all over his body.* "Sacrificial dance, unlock the watery gates of doom-"

      Cortax: (Liz! Elizabeth's Neurons are fading!) *He shouted in thought, watching Elizabeth lay face-first on the ground.*

      Victoria: *She tried to ignore Elizabeth, focusing her attention on Lehi.* "Sacred dance, Speed Up, sacred dance, Defence Up, sacred dance, Astragons Up."

      Lehi: *Purple, grey and bronze glyphs spiralled around him, filling him with sudden confidence.* "Atlantic Storm."

      Kath: "Atlantic Storm? Would that be the water version of the strongest shield based attacks-?"

      Lehi: *Water formed like water droplets around him and stringed together, suddenly and closely swirling around him like a whirlpool.* (This is my trump card!)

      Kath: (Despite our superior power, like summoners, these dancers can achieve powers far beyond their limits-) *She faced Lehi and formed fists, as if she was getting serious.* (And, I must not forget his Self-Inflicting Glyph, toppled with three stat boosting glyphs.. It would be very unprofessional of me-)

      Ridley: "Your friend will be next-"

      Cortax: "Vic, w-we need to Hi-Ougi!"

      Victoria: *She looked shocked and stared Cortax with a hesitant frown.* "Healing Monarchs?!"

      Ridley: (I was completely ignored-)

      Cortax: "Yes."

      Victoria: "But, we can't perform such a dance!"

      Cortax: "My wife will die if we don't try."

      Victoria: "I'll need to use my Ougi just as a stepping stone for us to use such a powerful technique."

      Ridley: (Wait a minute. A technique that two master dancers can't perform properly? Either, this technique is rivalled to the legendary Seraphic Gate, or, they have yet to master that particular move-)

      Victoria: "Ougi." *She formed a powerful stance and spread her arms, watching black tattoo-like markings appear all over her body.* "Sacrificial dance, unlock my entire being, Astral overload, Spirit Up."

      *Swirls of six different coloured glyphs spiralled around Cortax and Victoria, causing multi-coloured tattoo-like glyphs to appear on their bodies.*

      Ridley: (Those glyphs on their bodies are in colour? I know I should attack, but my researcher mind is far too curious to let a new technique go unseen.)

      Cortax: (Excellent. Vic's Ougi allows a simultaneous boost of all status attributes. This will allow us to activate the strongest known technique we've successfully performed-)

      Ridley: "I'm slightly worried, haha. Ougi, Daathic Nightwing." *Shadows moved like flames around him, slowly clustering into a gooey-like blob of darkness.*

      *Bones suddenly spewed out of the blob, as it slowly started to form a skeletal-like creature.*

      Cortax: *He looked at his hands, taking a deep breath of amazement.* (This power-)

      Victoria: "Brother."

      Cortax: *He quickly looked at Victoria and nodded his head.* "Ready."

      Victoria: "It will hinder its power, but we won't have time to perform the full dance or incantation!-" *She spoke in an urgent-like manner, nudging her head towards Elizabeth's motionless body.*

      Cortax: (I-I understand..)

      Victoria and Cortax: "Hi-Ougi." *They shouted in synchronisation and white light shrouded their bodies, catching Ridley's attention.*

      Ridley: *He squinted his eyes, as the light produced by Cortax and Victoria became brighter than the moon.* (What is that light? It's up to the point.. I can only see their silhouettes-)

      Victoria and Cortax: "Healing Monarchs."

      Ridley: "Tssk, attack them now!" *He shouted to the skeletal creature in front of him.*

      Nightwing: "Skee!" *Its bones cracked and shaped its entire body into a spear, suddenly blasting itself towards the shadowing of Cortax's body.*

      Ridley: (Excellent-) *He watched Cortax's silhouette break and scatter in the light, causing the Nightwing to scrape along the ground.*

      Nightwing: "Skee!" *It screeched in pain, as its body started to eat itself from the light it jumped through.*

      Ridley: *He frowned, listening to the Nightwing's fading screeches.* (It was destroyed merely by jumping through this technique's light?!)

      Cortax: *He was blinded by the surrounding light, listening to holy flap-like noises.* (Vic, you go after Elizabeth, I'll stay on the offensive.)

      Victoria: (Okay..)

      Ridley: *The light slowly faded, revealing four lights shaped as flapping butterflies.* "What the-?"

      Victoria: *Two butterflies flapped towards Elizabeth, each leaving white sparkling glitter behind them.* (With Cortax's ability to Hi-Ougi with no restriction of participants, and Elizabeth's ability to access Radiaton based Remenistal, Healing Monarchs has the potential to become the strongest known attack in history.)

      *The butterflies flapped over Elizabeth and gently touched her, causing sparkling rings of white light to visibly heal her wounds.*

      Ridley: (Radiatons?!) *He suddenly frowned in a jealous-like manner, focusing his attention to the butterflies above Elizabeth.*

      Cortax: (No you don't!) *Two butterflies of light flapped around Ridley.*

      Ridley: *He swayed his hand, hitting one of the butterflies away.* (That felt strange-)

      Cortax: (CRIMSON BEAM) *A fluoro red beam suddenly blasted out from one of the butterflies, burning into Ridley's flesh.*

      Ridley: "Ah! DEMONIC SIOVANCE" *He shouted with an echoing voice.*

      *A black spear shot up from a black glyph on the ground, violently piercing into Cortax's butterfly.*

      Cortax: (Argh!-) *The butterfly lost its light, revealing an orange and black butterfly, before disintegrating into nothing.*

      Victoria: *She continued to swarm around Elizabeth, slowly healing her wounds with each gentle touch.* (Cortax!)

      Cortax: (I'm fine!) *He flapped behind Ridley, readying to attack.* (It was smart splitting our power in two!)

      Karol: *He ran outside with half of the city and leant over a stone balcony, looking down to the courtyard in the distance.* (E-Everyone is fighting?!)

      *Trinity and Infinity held onto the balcony and looked into the distance, noticing Elizabeth on the ground.*

      Trinity: "Aunty is down."

      Infinity: "And down she is.." *She spoke in shock.*

      Karol: "Our parents are fighting.."

      Young Adult: "Why did they ask for our help?!" *He grunted to three other young men with a frown.*

      Woman: "To leave the younger generation protected."

      Young Adult: "Tssk." *He gritted his teeth, hesitantly nodding his head in unders
    tanding.*

      Lehi: *He slid towards Kath and swayed his arm, flicking a stream of high pressured water into the ground.* "Hah!"

      Kath: *She watched the water burst into the ground, listening to the ground crack in response.* "I believe it's time we finish this little ordeal, Ridley."

      Ridley: "This appalling behaviour on our part must stop."

      Kath: *She smirked and flashstepped next to Ridley, watching water shoot out of the ground where she stood.* "Time to terminate these dancers."

      Lehi: (Missed!-)

      Kath and Ridley: "Hi-Ougi."

      Victoria: (A Consultant levelled Hi-Ougi?!) *She suddenly hovered in the air, as if she was shocked by their announcement.*

      Woman: *She watched black flames take shape in front of Ridley and Kath, causing her to gasp with a dropping jaw.* "Everyone, back into the room now!" *She screamed in an urgent-like manner, catching everyone's attention.*

      Young Adult: "Why?"

      Woman: "My ability is able to sense people's Neurons! Get back in the room now!"

      Young Adult: *He nodded his head, quickly pushing the children back into the room they came from.* "Go, everyone!"

      Trinity: "But our parents!-"

      Karol: (Those Neurons... I-It's hard to breathe-) *He took short quick breaths before suddenly passing out.*

      ----------

      Kylie: "Who'd be dumb enough to leave the store open during the night of Sceldrant's Comet?" *She walked through the kitchen, noticing a ladder leading to the roof.*

      Luna: "Yea." *She reached into a large box of nuggets, chewing with her mouth closed.*

      Kerry-Anne: "They must be up there?" *She slurred her words, stumbling towards the ladder.*

      Luna: *She consumed another nugget and noticed the box was empty, causing her to angrily throw it on the floor.* (Why did I eat that?! I was hungry.. But, now I feel fat-)

      Kylie: "C'mon, Loonz." *She smirked and stopped at the ladder, implying Luna to go first.*

      Luna: "Why me?!"

      Kylie: "Your brother."

      Kerry-Anne: "Ya." *She smirked and hiccuped, quickly grabbing onto the ladder before she lost balance.*

      Luna: "Wateva." *She grunted and started to climb up the ladder, noticing her black hair sway in the outside breeze.*

      Kylie: "Wat's up there?" *She started to climb up the ladder, closely followed by Kerry-Anne.*

      Luna: *She discreetly poked her head outside, noticing everyone intensely staring at the sky.* (Everyone is here-)

      Rachael: "The sky is like a rainbow."

      Melinda: "It has something to do with the atmosphere, like in the poles."

      Ashton: "Like in the poles?"

      Melinda: "Well, what we're looking at right now-"

      Lance: "Are colours in the sky-"

      Melinda: *She ignored Lance.* "Is the end result of the sunlight that has penetrated the Earth's gravitational barrier-"

      Lance: "Err, it ain't day? No sunlight."

      Melinda: "Well, I'm just letting you all know what I'm seeing with my own eyes right now-"

      Rachael: "Sorry to interrupt, Mel but what is this called? I remember your mum showing me pictures at your place."

      Melinda: "She dubs it The Aurora Skies. To sum things up, we should not be able to witness this from where we are."

      Tyler: "W-We shouldn't?" *He looked slightly nervous.*

      Twortz: "I underestimated this occurrence, it's very beautiful."

      *The comet glowed brighter and reacted with the air, causing rays of warped rainbows to scatter the air.*

      Ashton: "Looking at this, kind of makes you feel insignificant. Doesn't it?"

      *The party unintentionally ignored Ashton, as they continued to stare at the sky in awe.*

      Lance: (What is this feeling?)

      Luna: (I feel somethin'? It's coming from inside-?) *She looked down to her chest, frowning at herself with uncertainty.*

      *The stone started to glow the same colours as the sky, causing it to hum.*

      Rachael: "Does anyone else hear that?"

      *The stone suddenly shined as bright as the comet, instantly drawing the party's attention to the backpack.*

      Twortz: "What's in your bag-?"

      Luna: (No! My arms, they're getting weak-) *She sighed in thought and let go of the ladder, falling on top of Kylie and Kerry-Anne.*

      Kylie: "Argh-"

      Kerry-Anne: "Bwarh-?!"

      Rachael: "Ash..."

      Ashton: "R-Rach..."

      *The stone released a blinding light and a powerful shock wave, rendering Ashton, Tyler, Melinda, Rachael, Twortz, Luna, Kylie and Kerry-Anne unconscious.*

      Lance: (H-Huh, feeling sleepy-) *He watched the stone shatter into tiny white orbs, before falling unconscious.*

      ----------

      Young Adult: *He stood with five other adults, all staring at the courtyard with dropping jaws.* "W-What was.. Phoenix Blaster?"

      Ridley: *He took a deep breath, watching Elizabeth, Cortax, Victoria and Lehi lay on the ground unconscious.* "I didn't think we'd have to resort to such extremities."

      Kath: "Termination can be hard on others.." *She watched smoke sizzle off melted stone.*

      Ridley: "Healing Monarchs.. Have you ever heard of such a technique?"

      Kath: "No." *She wiped sweat off her forehead and turned around, slowly looking up with an evil-like smirk.* "What to do with the other dancers?"

      Ridley: *He looked over his shoulder and stared at an enormous stone wall, harvesting many openings, balconies and stairs.* "It's a shame I won't be able to explore this amazing city."

      Kath: "Number three, nine, take these prisoners to Sorrowprax and await further instructions." *She spoke in a stern voice and flashstepped without waiting for the captain's response.*

      Ridley: *He watched Nancy and Cassandra slowly stand back up on their feet, causing him to disappear in a puff of smoke.*

      Young Adult: "This is bad-"

      Kath: "Indeed it is." *She suddenly appeared behind the young adult, causing them to gasp in shock.*

      Young Man: *He started to dance, causing an orange glyph to form underneath him.* "You will pay!"

      Woman: "For our masters!" *She swayed her arms and frowned, watching a square brown glyph spiral in front of her.*
