Damn it, fighting an amorphous dragon was hard. But both Bellamy and Luke had landed hits, however not decisive. Surely she wouldn't be able to take much more of this? They looked down at the hole the liquid had fallen into. Bellamy regained height again while Luke anxiously looked at the ground.
"Change position Luke!" Bellamy told his brother, who was looking worriedly at the state of his blasters, glowing a little from the heat. He nodded and separated them with a 'click'. Well, they had about one or two attacks left in them before they'd start being too hot to fire. He planned on healing this time, so he switched the setting to heal, knowing the green energy produced very little heat.
But all at once, the ground below them cracked and a series of spikes shot out from under them. Luke gave a cry of pain as he was pierced in the arm, leg and ear. Bellamy meanwhile was lanced through the foot, giving a yell of pain too, but remained airborne.
Now that both of them had been attacked, eyes glowed green and blue as their brotherly bonds shone true. Bellamy looked down at the now revealed Mercurialdramon, his knuckles glowing grey. Wordlessly, he fired his Savage Nightmare down at her, the darkness spheres flying in rapidly at the now exposed Mercurialdramon in the pit where she had been hiding.
Luke meanwhile was almost down from the battle. Lying down, he aimed one of his blasters up at his brother, then the other toward himself. He then fired, channeling his Defib Spark at both himself and Bellamy, the healing energy increased slightly.
While Luke's healing was enough to allow himself to stand again, and enough to mend the hole in Bellamy's foot, the concentrated healing effect it had earlier wasn't as potent. But the Dynammon didn't go down yet. He awaited to see what would happen to the Mercurialdramon, seeing as she now knew what would happen if she evaded this attack.
- Luke is hit by Fright Burst, becoming critically injured.
- Luke's Passive Ability activates: Fraternal Bond
Fraternal Bond - If Bellamy is damaged this turn, the power of Luke's attacks increase by 30% for one turn.
- Luke uses Defib Spark on himself and Bellamy, healing him from imminent KO.
Defib Spark - Luke switches the mode of his blasters to the lowest setting and fires them at himself and/or an ally, delivering an alleviating shock that doesn't hurt them. The effect of this sparks them back into action, healing their pain, charging back their data and rendering them able to fight. Like his Thundercast attack, can concentrate the attack by aiming both at a target, or aiming at two different targets for half the effect. [Cooldown: 1 turn]
- Storm Beam cooldown: 2/3
- Defib Spark cooldown: 1/1
- Bellamy is hit by Fright Burst.
- Bellamy is healed by Defib Spark (half).
- Bellamy's active ability: Flight.
- Bellamy's passive activates: Fraternal Bond
Fraternal Bond - If Luke is damaged this turn, the power of Bellamy's attacks increase by 30% for one turn.
- Bellamy uses Savage Nightmare on Mercurialdramon.
Savage Nightmare - Bellamy's fists glow with grey fire and he shoots his Oro Salmon at the enemy, creating about 20 medium velocity darkness spheres. If the enemy evades or defends against this attack, the cooldown is refunded and Bellamy can continue the attack manipulating the spheres so they spin around his target, blasting them with double damage with enhanced accuracy. This makes it potentially fatal to other Perfect levels. The cooldown would then apply after this turn. [Cooldown: 3 posts]
Savage Nightmare cooldown: 3/3

The liquid dragon’s breath came in rough and haggard bursts, the intensity of the match indeed wearing on her. When was the last time she’d fought this dang hard? Had she ever actually fought this hard before? She was beginning to question if she really knew what she was getting into, as the twins wore her down this badly. But she’d dealt at least equivalent damage to them, nearly taking one brother out with her last move.
A plan came together in her mind as she watched Bellamy fire another blasted Savage Nightmare at her. That was going to be a problem… She couldn’t afford to take that head on to mitigate her damage later, but at the same time evading it only made things worse… Unless she could widen her safety window on the evasion? With a thought she swept a hand over a number of rocks and rubble that she had caused over the course of her previous attacks, coating her hand in some kind of rocky gauntlet.
Resisting the urge to crack a ‘clobbering time’ pun, she swept the rock-coated arm at the Savage Nightmare. She had no delusions that she’d be able to completely stop it with so simple a move, but if she could destroy even a few orbs before Bellamy took control of them… It would all be worth it in the end. But she had to move now, she had to bring it to a 1v1 fight if she had any hope of bringing the healthier Astamon down before her strength gave out.
With that in mind, she turned and bolted away from the remaining orbs. Instead of last time where she used her quick bounds to get in position to attack Bellamy… she zeroed in on the barely standing Luke, summoning up power she needed to strike.
”Alicia! Using that again in this condition is reckless! Luke will probably fall to a Shatter Fist or even a Scalding Metal as it currently stands! Sol advised, eyes wide.
“Maybe so...” Alicia whispered back. “But I’ve only got two or three shots left in me anyways. Might as well go out with a bang even if I lose.” She couldn’t help but smirk. This was the kind of fight Spirit Users like her needed to really adjust to their Digimon forms. A fight that went all out and pushed the user to their utmost limits. For that she had to thank Luke and Bellamy for being so doggedly persistent in claiming victory. She resolved to not hold any grudges against them regardless of the outcome and hoped the same would be shown to her. But for now?
“Mercurial Divider!” The liquid dragon roared. Despite her exhaustion, it seemed none of that tiredness reached her voice as it boomed with a strength any true dragon would be proud of. One last time her amorphous body answered the call to form wicked monomolecular blades, allowing her to lash out in a vicious scissor slash that she planned to sweep upward after they finished uncrossing, just in case Luke decided to seek refuge from the attack by jumping away.

It seemed that Alicia was formulating a plan in the few moments there was between Savage Nightmare connecting her and her target. Bellamy wasn't taking a moment to rest though, maintaining full concentration of his attack, and his eye contact with the Mercurialdramon.
However, it seemed that Alicia was aiming for Luke instead. In that moment, Bellamy stared at his brother in horror.
But Luke wasn't looking at the impending metal blade in fear, in fact, he was looking it it with a smile on his face. At that moment, he dropped his nearly white-hot blasters, the wheel on his back spinning, filling his body with electricity. And in that moment before it hit, the Dynammon leapt off his feet, shouted "Raijin Kick!" and met the Mercurial Divider with gusto, connecting her blade with his foot, discharging a surge of electricity into her.
As their attacks connected, Luke's kick would have once again filled Alicia's body with a burst of electricity, knocking her down. However, the effect of her attack on the weakened Luke had been one hit too many. Instantly, as the discharge boomed like a thunderbolt through the stadium, Luke was knocked back, his body glowing white as he shrunk back to his Elecmon form. Colin managed to catch him before he landed at the edge of the battlefield.
Bellamy gave a noise through his throat as he realized what Luke had just done. With the Mercurialdramon's attack on him, it had meant that he could now land the ultimate blow. His Fraternal Bond surging through him, an aura glowing in his hand as well as his eye, he focused all of his energy into this last attack.
"SAVAGE... NIGHTMARE!!" Bellamy roared, clutching his hand upward to draw the remaining spheres of energy, and caused them to spin rapidly around Mercurialdramon, faster than they had ever been before, quickly surging so that they simply became a shell of black energy around her, before finally converging in a pillar of darkness that stretched to the skies, hopefully ravaging what remained of her stamina.
- Luke counters Mercurial Divider with Raijin Kick.
Raijin Kick - Luke leaps high into the air, aiming his powerful legs in a kicking attack at the opponent, sparking with electricity. Will knock them down if they are the same level or lower. [Cooldown: 1 turn]
- Luke is KO'ed from Mercurial Divider, de-digivolving to Elecmon and falling unconscious.
- Bellamy's active ability: Flight.
- Bellamy's passive activates: Fraternal Bond
Fraternal Bond - If Luke is damaged this turn, the power of Bellamy's attacks increase by 30% for one turn.
- Bellamy uses Savage Nightmare's special ability on Mercurialdramon, his special ability giving him greater control and power over the effect of his attack now that Luke has been knocked out.
Savage Nightmare - Bellamy's fists glow with grey fire and he shoots his Oro Salmon at the enemy, creating about 20 medium velocity darkness spheres. If the enemy evades or defends against this attack, the cooldown is refunded and Bellamy can continue the attack manipulating the spheres so they spin around his target, blasting them with double damage with enhanced accuracy. This makes it potentially fatal to other Perfect levels. The cooldown would then apply after this turn. [Cooldown: 3 posts]
Savage Nightmare cooldown: 3/3

The surprising electrical counter attack caught her completely off guard, throwing her back and drawing a strangled cry of pain as she hit the ground. At this point she was running on metaphorical adrenaline alone, but that was enough to get her to spring back to her feet thanks to her malleable body. Bellamy had just taken control of Savage Nightmare and was beginning to draw it towards her. She wouldn’t be able to get as close as she liked.
Still, she had to try. The Mercurialdramon tensed for a split second and leaped into the air, beating her wings once as she sought to close with the Astamon before escape became in possible. Halfway, the orbs’ rotation became too thick for her to even see out of. Fortunately her attack of choice was one that didn’t require her to see.
“FRIGHT BURST!” She howled back in turn. The spheres collapsed and created their pillar, she was absolutely, definitely hit by the entire attack this time…
But from that pillar came Alicia’s final strike, spikes of mercury lancing out with incredible speed, even though the bore the signs of damage from Bellamy’s own attack. And once everything was resolved, Alicia seemed to impossibly hang in the air for a second, battered and ‘bruised’ from the Astamon’s final attack before she collapsed and hit the arena floor with a heavy thud.
Twitching, the Mercurialdramon tried to at least retain consciousness, tried to confirm whether Bellamy still stood or if he had been beaten as well.

As Bellamy watched his brother fall unconscious into Colin's hands, he knew that this battle was on the verge of its conclusion. He then concentrated his full into the Mercurialdramon below him.
As his attack concluded, she set off her final attack, the Fright Burst. Bellamy knew what that meant, a huge amount of spikes would be rushing toward him in under a second. In the final milliseconds before it struck, when Bellamy's concentration in finalizing his Savage Nightmare attack faded, he used one last technique to survive this.
"Nightingale!" Bellamy shouted, just before the Fright Burst hit. A dark blue energy bird soared out of his wings, and just as the spikes made contact, Bellamy was infused with a burst of luck.
The shards hit him in the legs, but no further. The Astamon, exhausted by now, flew to the ground. He had infused himself with an essence of luck in the very last moment, allowing him to remain conscious and upright as the final moments of the battle ticked away, the Nightingale technique partially mending the data that had been hit.
Bellamy stood ready for Alicia's next move, panting. The Astamon had never experienced a fight this exciting, this fantastic before.
"Whatever happens..." he uttered between breaths. "Good... game" he finished, with utmost sincerity.
- Bellamy's active ability: Flight.
- Bellamy is hit by Fright Burst
- Bellamy uses Nightingale on himself.
Nightingale - Bellamy's wings glow with blue light, and he flaps them once. This provides himself or an ally with a stroke of luck that in effect mends their data in a healing technique, and reduces any active cooldowns by 1 post (except if he uses it on himself). [Cooldown: 2 posts].

Alicia groaned a bit as she caught sight of Bellamy. The Astamon had landed, but was most definitely still up. Well… barely. He looked worse for wear after her Fright Burst, but she didn’t have any hard feelings. Still… she had to respond some how…
Scraping together a last little bit of energy, the Mercurialdramon lifted her hand and gave Bellamy a thumbs up, then her form began to melt until Alicia’s human form was left laying on on her back, eyes closed and out cold, but flashing a satisfied smile.
This was a fight she wouldn’t forget in a long time.

Alicia is KO’ed! Colin, Luke, and Bellamy win!
