(Music for the scene below: )
The battle began. Yamato shattered one of the ice soldiers with a smirk, only for it to regenerate and reconstruct itself. This was true of all of them as they battled against them. However, the ice soldiers did a remarkable job of dealing damage to all of the group (with the exception of Zonolo due to the nature of his abilities). Not only were they dealing with opponents that outclassed them so far, but also that a seemingly endless army of them. Zonolo would attempt to absorb the pain of his teammates, using it to not only heal them, but increase his strength. They all were increasing in strength, in fact. Either way, progress was being made, but not fast enough.
As strong as they were becoming, they were beginning to falter and waver under the offensive pressure of the ice soldiers. Zonolo was frustrated, as well as angry. He had already lost his family coming here, and these guys were the closest things he had to friends. He didn't want to lose them after he had essentially just met them barring the month of battle against the dragons. They were on the back foot, but still fighting.
"I'm not giving out here..." Zonolo said, a silver gleam in his eyes. Yamato smirked, noticing that silver gleam. That motivated her to keep going even further. After all, he was essentially a rival for her. Boros also noticed this silver gleam, and the aura he saw that represented the power of individuals grew larger and brighter, and Boros smiled. Mira noticed the three of them. All of them had an optimistic presence radiating from them.
"I suppose I should use my full strength as well if you're about to..." Boros said.
"So I'm not the only one thinking that!" Yamato exclaimed.
Mira closed his eyes and smirked, powering up beside them.
"You three are truly remarkable..." Mira said, not making a statement that was as focused on their power as much as it was on their resolve, "It's a privilege to fight alongside you..."
"Then let's show these guys what we're made of..." Zonolo said, his eyes now entirely silver.
The rest of his team reciprocated his sentiment. Zonolo once again transformed, his body becoming more muscular and mature, much like it did against Yamato and Kiara before this moment. At the same time, Yamato howled, growing slightly taller and taking on a more animalistic appearance.
Meanwhile, the body of Boros began to glow, and his hair began to elongate. He crouches down, getting into a new fighting stance as his aura bursts around him.
And Mira's aura grew immensely, becoming far more violent as he exerted his strength to the fullest. They all were one completely different levels of strength now.
(Music for now that the hype part is about to start: )
The ice cavalry soldiers were decimated in droves by the powerful hits, but more kept coming. The soldiers now had to resort to dodging strikes to remain in tact and not waste time on regeneration. However, the team was already adjusting and beginning to synergize more. Boros fired what resembled a Collapsing Star Roar Cannon toward Yamato, who trapped the energy with her kanabo and dispersed it toward the soldiers with her lightning. Meanwhile, Mira constructed a blade of darkness that had similar shape to the Goddess Cleaver, working alongside Zonolo to eradicate and erase droves of the ice cavalry soldiers with their slashes. Little by little, they were beginning to chip away at what used to seem like unending waves of opposition.
Watching from a distance, Lady Autrice's underling was both in shock and impressed. However, this soon transitioned into a more relaxed and calculating expression.
"So, they're not just gravel grit after all, are they, Glacies?" A woman with pinkish hair said, appearing besides Glacies.
"No, but they still need to be broken a bit. Especially the one with the silver eyes. I don't like the fact that he hasn't taken damage yet..." Glacies responded, "I suppose you could aid me with that if you want... Ignis..."
Back on the battlefield, the group is making major headway on defeating their foes. With one final attack from each of them, the remainder of the army was truly decimated.
"Oh well, later..." Hibana said, referring to fighting the motley crew. And with that, they disappeared, completely undetected as the majority of the team reverted to base form.
"Again we prove to be victorious!" Yamato said as Mira was deep in thought as to what those ice individuals were...
"Well, let's keep going. We're not at Muspelheim yet..." Zonolo said, also thinking about the ice soldiers in the back of his mind.
