Having been rejuvenated by osmosis, Kazooie woke with two quick headshakes to dispel her daze, then gave Banjo an affirmative nod before they took off to join the others in swarming the Dragon. The great drake bore down on the fortified, gigantified Koopa King, who held mostly even ground with the leviathan thanks to the enhancements provided by their allies. The clench between them was broken after a moment, with some significant damage on both sides to follow, and just no sooner than they left cover, the duo would have to seek it once more to clear themselves of the caustic bombardment. The ever nimble Hat Kid was able to dodge the corrosive clusters with relatively little issue, and Fox had his Reflector handy as always to deal with it in the usual manner most convenient to him, allowing him to continue his advance unimpeded.

The rebounded bomb missed the Dragon, however, as she entered into a sweeping loop to generate another forceful windwall aimed at scattering the fighters yet again. The Ender’s repeat strategy would yield little of anything for her this time against the centered fighters who were ready for it. Kid simply hooked onto one of Bowser’s tail spikes to anchor herself to the nearest, heaviest thing she could find on a second’s notice. Fox Jet boosted off to the side at a low, rising angle--parallel to the gale--to exploit the wind’s force so that it might expedite his ascent to one of the taller spires on his flight path. His landing was slightly unsteady on account of his method, but nonetheless manageable, successfully perching him atop the obsidian column.

The Dragon then centered herself over the island’s shallow peak and began spilling forth physically impossible quantities of acid from her maw like an open valve, threatening to flood the land’s surface and presenting a new hazard for everyone on the ground. Hat Kid immediately sought higher ground on the giant shelled back of Bowser, who likely wouldn’t feel or otherwise notice her due to their insurmountable size disparity. On the other end, Banjo and Kazooie were making their way to the top of the highest pillar they could reach, irrespective of the acid flow, using a series of extended jumps and Shock Springs to reach a suitable vantage point from which to take off in Flight. Just as soon as they went airborne the duo lined themselves up with the Dragon and burned a Red Feather to charge forward with another Beak Bomb aimed at the side of its head. Should the impact prove heavy enough, the Dragon would (hopefully) be concussed out of sustaining the acidic downpour, ‘shutting off the faucet’, so to speak. In any case, the bear and bird would use the divebomb’s recoil to disengage so they could be ready to move, evade or attack once more.

After traversing enough spires to close in while staying off the ground, Fox moved to capitalize in short order, dashing onto its head, planting the muzzle of his blaster flush against its skull, and opening fire. Weak as the individual shots were, they came out in rapid succession to pile on damage in a hurry, so he would see if he couldn’t bore a small hole into the drake’s head this way before inevitably being forced to dismount, using one of its horns as a handhold to maintain his ground for as long as he could before then. To follow, an explosive vial came soaring over Bowser’s head at the Ender, with Hat Kid coming up behind it in stride. She swapped out her hats mid-run, leapt from Bowser’s head, and crashed down onto that of the Dragon with a tiny, flaming, Power wreathed fist...
