Toguro grins, a cocky reply dying into silence, as his arm is ripped off. In the center of a flaming pillar stands a figure, eyes burning the brightest red, anger flowing from him in great pools. The flames gather across the ground, the burning twisted seeming to condense, flowing around a single blade, Clarent, as it leaves the sheath. Flaming sword in hand, Creed stands opposite the stone golem, who staggers back from the unexpected attack.

'Damn, boy. Shoulda warned me when you did that.' With a roaring sound, the air swirls around Toguro, as his eyes glow bright purple, crackling energy shooting over his skin. Once more, his stony skin turns pitch black, as his power seems to grow to match Creeds. 'Oh, it's been too long since I went all-out. Let's finish this quickly, boy, would be a shame if one of us were to run ourselves dry.'

Energy gathers in Toguro's right fist, the air seeming to shimmer around it, and not simply from the heat. 'Unless you want to make this a test of endurance!' Laughing, Toguro shoots forward, energy gathered in his fist, the ground shattering in his wake.

As Killroy advances on the imitation of Kevin, 5 turns around, lightning already gathering in it's hands. 'Let us see whether you fair any better this time.' He holds up one hand, in which ball lightnign forms. 'simply know that I will not hold back. This time, we will succeed, and you will all fail. Balance will be eliminated.'
