Jenso's flame saw was faced with a great difficulty, insurmountable by the blade's sheer piercing power. As soon as it came within 5 feet of the Snake's body, it was dissolved, and sucked into its eye sockets in an instant. The snake crashed between the two of them, leaving a small crater where its teeth tore out a chunk of the room's floor. Bruce's stone barely missed the intricate, forward facing eye socket, leaving a small crack where it struck before shattering against the beast's body.

	The snake pulled its tail out of the lava, lashing it over head  and spreading the super-heated rock all over the battlefield. Wherever it might have landed, it left an ever-burning puddle that didn't dry immediately. But the farther it was from the snake, the cooler the lava seemed. It became obvious that this monster was keeping the magma burning hot. On top of that, Serpa-Mon radiated an aura of heat, albeit not significant enough to cause burns without sustained presence.

	Serpa-Mon turned towards Bruce and lashed towards him, curling its body into a coil behind itself. The tip of its tail was strange though. As the ruby material shifted, a second, smaller head sprouted, and darted towards Jenso. This one had a single core-eye, and no teeth, instead wielding a pointy drill-like nose that spun fiercely.
