Mikey smiled and rose both his gauntlets to his face. "I guess I'm not allowed to hold back, otherwise this wouldn't be much of a test!" He shouted, well aware of the disadvantage he was at. The rules were there to encourage a more strategic approach from Jeff's side, it was true, but that was only half of the reason. Without the handicap, Mikey wouldn't have stood much of a chance against Jeff's speed. As talented as he was, his abilities lacked the raw power of the trumps. He had to do his best to emulate the Chaos crew, while allowing them to fight with all their strength. Mikey crossed his arms, following Jeff with his eyes as best he could. "I've always been curious about the sage-mode transformations," Mikey muttered, just loud enough for Jeff to hear, "You and Bruce pull out elemental affinities that make me completely envious. But I paid a visit to the great chasm, and had a chat with Chief Choofa." over the course of a few seconds, both of his gauntlets began to encompass his entire body, moving up his arms, over his shoulders, and down his torso, until every point of his figure was covered in a sheet of glowing liquid, similar to his Arki gauntlets.
