: Jared's attack managed to take out one of the flying enemies... but his swing was disrupted as his sword deteriorated into thin air! Slowly, a bright light started to engulf him, before dissipating much faster than it came. After the light had faded away in a harmless explosion, it revealed Jared to be different than before. He had changed form, becoming a large hawk, sightly bigger than these flying monsters themselves. His talons were big, and his beak was pointy, and could be used as weapons, though not as effectively as his swords could have been. Flippy made it to Aelita just in time to block the oncoming second wave of lasers. Jared's distraction up in the air gave Flippy a break, as they stopped their barrage much sooner than they had before. Aelita took the chance instantly, and continued her bolt for the tower, even though some of the flying monsters might finish off Jared any minute now and start their attack again. Flippy and Aelita were close, but not close enough if the monsters attacked again. Bella was farther away, having to retrieve her paint brush before being able to respond to anything. Luckily the monsters were distracted with Jared, giving her a chance to catch up to Flippy, and or help take out some more of the flying monsters, though at this point there were still so many....
