'Looks like both your arms are gone,' the man said to Dante as he stood, hand on one hip, smirking. 'I'm Footsoul, by the way. You should know the name of the man that kills you.'
He walked steadily towards Dante. 'I'd heard that Ari's old guild was strong, but... well, you guys don't seem like much. Ari's probably gonna get her kid sister to open the doors any minute, and then... Then Zeref will rise!' Footsoul's face suddenly took on a mad light as he thought of Zeref's awakening.
Trex swiftly returned to his Take Over Triceratops only this time he was partially transformed taking on the attack full on with a smirk with his now very hard shield like head, he promptly grabbed for Sniff's arms, his three horns aimed for the mans chest and tried to skewer him in the wall.
'Herbivore Soul: Golden Monkey!' Sniff's body became much smaller in an instant, allowing him to narrowly avoid being impaled. He hung from one of T-rex's hand, then swung himself up on to the man's arm. He skittered along the man's arm, jumping off at his shoulder and landing lightly behind him.
He enemy opted for a more defensive form, 'Dino soul: stegosaurus!'
If sniff tried anything he could hunch up in a ball and the blades on his back would skewer him.
'Herbivore souls against dino soul, this shall be an honourable fight,' the man whispered to his opponent waiting for him.
'There's no honour in fighting,' Sniff replied, looking darkly at the man. 'But your boss is trying to hurt my friend, so if you stand against me, I'm going to take you down.' He raised himself to his full height (which hasn't very high, given that he was a monkey) and, extending one arm in front of him, waved to T-Rex in "Come and get me" kind of way.
Back outside, Athena swung round, desperately looking from to other of the gigantic black snakes that flew around her head, and at the swirling purple mass of clouds that hung in the air. How had this happened? She had been on the offensive when suddenly the sky had gone dark and these figures had appeared! Was this Karrosil's doing!
'Athena!' a voice called to her! She looked around for its owner, but found no one. 'Athena!!' A worried figure stepped through the mist that engulfed her. It was Neptune. 'Athena, what are you doing?' He shook her roughly, and she seemed to come to her senses.
She glanced round, bewildered. The snakes had gone, the sky was clear once more. 'What happened?' she asked, dazed. 'Wait, you!' she looked up at the laughing Karrosil. 'Illusion Magic, right?!'
'Haha, that's right! But knowing about it isn't enough - I can still cast you into darkness! And soon, when Ari gets the sceptre, the whole world will be cast into darkness!! Ahahaha!!'
'Neptune,' Athena whispered to her spirit. 'Run interference. Cut off his line of sight.'
'Got it,' the buff man nodded, and slammed his trident into the earth again. More thick jets of water shot forth, spinning through the air, back and forth, blocking Karrosil's view of Athena.
'Open, Gate of the Winged Messenger! Mercury!' The dapper man appeared and winked at Athena.
'Seems like you've been relying on me a lot lately, Athena-sama,' he teased.
'This guy?!' exploded Neptune. 'I hate this guy!!'
'Now now, let's work together for Athena-sama's sake.'
'Rrrrr!!!'
