"Oi...Why are you on the ground, Mister? Are you sick?"
"You can't be tired that easily! You're our leader!"
"Get up! Move those legs again, I believe in yah!"
"You're our only chance to see it again! To see our path!"
"Set it straight, My king! Walk with us again!"
Words echoed across a void. Humanoid forms of people it once knew. Their heads staring into the unknown, their eyes a rainbow color, their garbs like angels. It reached its hand out, struggling to grasp at them, seeing them all vanish before its eyes.
Then, it woke up.
The Sea Monk stared at the cloudy sky, its body resting with the harsh waves, halting its harm for a brief moment, a calm ocean to rest its head. The populace grew worried that everything went still, even moreso that their ally is unable to approach the Humanoid. It tried to spew lava from its volcanoes and from the wounds it took to evaporate it, but no matter how much was made, it merely came back and held it away. A better look at the Umibozu made the boys and some of the citizens realize it was reminiscing, as if it was remembering something long ago. The beast's eyes shed such small tears, the only other color it had against its navy blue. It merely looked on at the cloudy skies, as it began to hum a small tune.
A tune that Stolas recognized. "What the...That's my Pop's Lullaby...." He'd spoke to himself, his eyes wide as he saw it know the tone and pitch. In those brief moments when it hummed, it began to raise its body, its arms quickly regrowing hands, and making a sign out of it. A Sign of a Mountain.
"IT'S USING A FINAL GAMBIT! EVERYONE TAKE COVER!!!" An official cried, prompting Solomon to cast a barrier again, with Harvard and Zazel creating a second layer and reinforcing it with Eligos, shielding the Scarab away, whilst Atlantis merely stepped in front of Khepros to act as its shield further, unaware of what it was doing. As everyone tried to prepare for what is to come, they would hear a voice. A clear one, out of the Sea Monk itself.
"Drifting Sea..."
"Harsh Wind..."
"Mountain Top..."
"Magatama..."
"Raijin..."
"Fujin..."
"Yasaka...!"
The winds picked up and the waters parted as it spoke, the chants reinforcing the spell further, the walls beginning to break down from its top, swirling around the area. Its rainbow eyes grew wide as it stared down at Atlantis, its first target, for providing such trouble.
"Water Magic: SUSANO'O!!!"
Its mighty roar echoed across the area, as it began to have the storm close in and strike at Atlantis in one massive push. Trillions upon Trillions of drops raining across the mighty giant, lightning and thunder crackling and booming at each and every given moment, piercing and breaking down the monster piece by piece, with such magic having enough force to nearly kill Khepros in one fell swoop had they not prepared themselves. Despite the rainfall, winds, and lightning breaking down the Lost City, shredding it as if it was merely paper, the attack followed up by shaping those drops into that of palms, the length made in order to create arms. Trillions of such drops became Trillions of Arms, and such arms grew fear in everyone as Atlantis was palmed in such a brutal fashion right into the wall, its back and body shredded further, the lava spilling out and making it into stone, a geyser that kept pushing and ripping until it was nothing more than a shriveled mass of rubble, its arms and body too weak to properly hold together, its legs the only thing withstanding.
It shifted its gaze back towards Khepros, making the Scarab try to back away, but the Sea Monk merely held it down by its legs, as it began to chant once more.
"Drifting Sea..."
"Harsh Wind..."
"Mountain Top..."
BAM!!!
A Strike against its smooth head, Atlantis leaning itself forward to lunge a heavy punch across its head, breaking one of its arms in the process. It'd grab the Monster by its head, using the momentum from the punch to toss it over, hurling it far off into the ocean, letting it tumble away as the other arm breaks. Harvard would cast a sigil on the ocean to re-summon Atlantis, skipping the formalities in order to bring it back to its prime state, the lava reigniting once more, its body finally gaining solid ground to weaponize once more. Atlantis watched as the Umibozu dove into the depths, reappearing right in front of the titanic beast and attempting to tackle it against the waters again, pushing it down, hoping to put out such a raging fire. Atlantis merely stood firm and pushed back, the fight now behaving like a Sumo Wrestling Competition to see who'd be overthrown first, until both would lunge a palm strike at each other's faces, breaking the grip between each other.
"Drifting Sea..."
"Harsh Wind..."
The Umibozu prepares its Gambit again for the third time, seeing the water swell. Atlantis would be the first to recognize its tell, as well as why it was so strong: It was environmental. It was using the water within the area to attack back. Since it itself was a water creature that takes form from the bodies, it was a lethal combination to use against anything that dared to match it. Now prepared, it lets the volcanoes run havoc, spewing its ash and heat away in order to counter the barrage it was willing to endure.
"Mountain Top..."
"Magatama..."
"Raijin..."
"Fujin..."
The people of Khepros steered clear fom what was coming, the Barrier placed once more, replenishing it, even if it didn't gained a scratch, rather wishing to be safe than sorry.
"Yasaka...!"
"Water Magic: SUSANO'O!!!!!"
A Clash of fire and water emerged as the raindrops meld with the hot rubble, two spheres that intersected with one another, holding each other together as if it was a cage. Even though Atlantis would be forced to endure more of such pain, so too was the Umibozu.
They were at each others throats within this attack.
