	[i]The Darkkeepers? Did I miss a session?[/i] Ayaka thought to herself, preparing to enter Yuri's portal before feeling the attraction of her magical-skin move towards an incoming force. The wizard turns in preparation, forming a light barrier against it but the force would seem too strong. Luckily Yuri's barrier deflects and disperses the scorpion girl's kick and kinetic force. Merlin made her move, with the prepared barrier she shapes it along her staff and creates a blunt edge like a spear at its end, and thrusts it towards the scorpion girl. 

	Her senses and ability elevated with the help of Yuri. The purple butterfly merged into her magical form, the barriers across her body would shift accordingly and now give off a dim purple glow. Merlin continues her advance using her staff as a spear as she jabbed towards the scorpion girl, specifically aiming for the legs and the visor that the scorpion girl had pointed out. 

	As she pursued her attack she could hear the crash of a breaking wall and watched as the scorpion girl's tail flick Yuri away. The wizard jumps back, throwing her staff in midair like a javelin towards the boy, its form shifting into a glowing ball, and joins Monarch's staff. The Monarch's staff would change shape and a great deal of magical energy would flow into its form for the Monarch to use.

	Ayaka lands roughly sliding a few feet back as she raises her fists. A cocky anger mustering in her chest, she displays a smile and goes into a melee pose.

	Merlin yells, her fingers moving in a coordinated manner, light-brown constructs forming over her joints and fists. She puffs out air and then dashes towards the scorpion her fist raised as she goes in for a strike.
