[center][h2]Krunk Fortress, Courtyard[/h2] [sub]General Spike, The [b]head[/b] General.[/sub][/center] General spike was caught off guard by the fireballs, and then thrown further into disarray when they suddenly picked up speed. Both of his arm cannons fired spike trios towards Zerraf, which slowed in speed upon passing through the red-mage's wind-wall, losing over half of their piercing power. "Damn it!" He shouted, attempting to roll aside. His armor was caught in the dual explosion regardless, which sent his body flying into the top of the fountain, destroying several of the statues before he landed on the opposite side with a bounce. His armor was heated enough that he needed to release his limbs and head to avoid cooking alive, but he wasn't about to get up again without a moment of rest. Especially not after Jenso burned up his [i]sick ass[/i] cape. Meanwhile, the new-comer shifted his form to attack the small fry that immediately began swarming the intruders once Spike was thrown from his pedestal. The waves of flame sent many soldiers in the opposite direction, but several of the rolling balls lost their form and crept to a stop, either because their rounded-bodies lost their for entirely, or because the men wearing the armor lost consciousness from the extreme heat. A good chunk of the foot-soldiers remained though, and they rushed around the defenses in a wave of rolling steel towards Zerraf and Jenso, avoiding the dragon-man as much as they could.
