«Kill Chantal Carreaux and the boy with her!»
At Frank's signal, the thugs around them shift shape instantly.
Their black clothes vanish into smoke.
Copper skin replaces human flesh.
Large wings burst from their backs, flapping with eerie strength.
Their eyes glow yellow, unnaturally bright.
Their faces twist into reptilian shapes — humanoid, but monstrous.
Sharp claws extend from both hands and feet.
A faint purple aura wraps around their bodies.
«Shit, they're imps...!» Chantal mutters, stepping back and raising her flaming sword.
She grips the hilt tightly, ready to fight. «Individually they're weak, but in a group they're a real pain! Stay alert!»
Yuzu and Hakuto both nod.
Hakuto draws his sword.
His diamond armor glows, coated in white fire.
Yuzu shifts into her Hybrid-form, raising her massive scythe made of metallic blood.
Both take their positions for battle.
Hakuto, Yuzu, and Chantal form a triangle around Rika.
She's the only one who can't fight.
