GRAAAAA!!
The Elemental Dragon, enraged by the swarm of tiny attackers, let out a furious roar and shot toward Sunny with pure, devastating killing intent.
BOOOOM!!
Pillars of concentrated Spirit Energy erupted from each of the swirling vortexes behind Sunny, slamming into the beast and forcing its charge to halt. The dragon shook its massive head, momentarily stunned, but before it could retaliate, countless spatial Gateways flickered open around its body. Mercenaries, renewed and relentless, lunged out, instantly clinging to the beast's scales and slashing madly.
"How many Mercenaries are under his command?" Elemental Prism murmured, watching the dragon desperately try to shake off the persistent, golden swarm. Her eyes were alight with analytical fascination.
"Hmm..." She turned her head, searching for the source of the commands, and frowned. The space where Sunny had been was empty.
"Where is that kid?"
WHOOSH!!
