Jarrod took a double take as Ananeas removed his cloak, revealing his disfigured form. However, there wasn't enough time to be horrified or anything like that, because the man was heading straight for Yggdrasil. "Well. . .there goes any sense of a plan." The great dragon barely noticed the poison arrow that pierced it. In fact, the arrow fell off from its armored form after a few seconds. Its eyes glowing, it opened its maw to let loose another bellow of fury.

Opening its wings wide open now, it fired off beams of pure energy. "Crap!" Jarrod rolled out of the way, the ongoing hailstorm still happening above them. "Hey," he called out to Angelo. "Buddy, think you can distract it while I go help out Ananeas? Something tells me he's gonna get killed out there all by himself. Considering. . .we're fighting against that!" He pointed above at the dragon for added emphasis. Before Angelo could even reply, Jarrod have him a thumbs up before activating his sword once more.

Marionetta launched him skyward, the wind propelling him to the top of the building. The same building Ananeas was crawling up on now. Landing on the roof, the swordsman stood between both Yggdrasil and Ananeas. "Hey buddy? Listen, I understand you wanna destroy it and all. . .but, uh, you're not gonna get far by just rushing in blindly. Trust me, I know. I've tried."
