Pain.
That was all Ty's brain could tell him as Milim's attack enveloped him. He could feel every moment of his body being ripped to pieces, burnt away until he was almost nothing. However, it didn't end there.
When he felt as if he was on the brink of death, he instantly seemed to return to being restored. He would then get ripped apart again by the attack that had yet to end. This went on over, and over, and over again. It was excruciating. Ty didn't know such pain could even exist, and it shouldn't. He could only assume this was happening because of the stone Morgan had thrown to him, which he clutched for dear life in his hand throughout this all.
Sure it was causing him to go through this pain over and over, but it was keeping him alive, so he kept holding on. Nothing else mattered in that moment.
Hold. The. Stone.
Eventually, after what felt like forever, it stopped. Milim's attack finally ended. When it did, Ty fell down to the ground, hitting it hard, but other than that, appearing unharmed.
Ty thinking: What.. was that...
Surprisingly, a second voice answered him. One he didn't recognize, but at the same time sounded like his own.
???: It was the stone. It's power is to constantly restore its wielder after they get hurt. Morgan threw it to you to save you, as well as to connect the two of us.
Ty thinking: Connect us..? Who are you?
???: I am you. The you from Morgan's world, at least.
Ty thinking: A Guardian...?
Other Ty: Yes. Now that the stone has connected us, I can help. Will you let me?
Ty thinking: Gladly.. good luck.
Other Ty: Thanks. Who knows, maybe I'll need it.

Morgan watched from a distance as Milim's attack "Drago Nova" completely devoured Ty. She tried to get close to stop her, but the force coming off of her was too much. Morgan could barely even move.
Morgan thinking: That stone better respond to him... The other didn't with Mix, so.. all I can do is hope..
Eventually, Milim stopped, and suddenly Morgan could see the sky.
Morgan: W-What the...
Her attack was so strong it had shot all the way to the surface, then kept going.. Through the city...
There was a massive crater going all the way through the city. It must have killed countless people.. And Milim was laughing.
(For an idea of the scale of damage: Watch "Drago Nova" by Crunchyroll on YouTube)
Milim: Hahahaha! How was that?! A true taste of a demon lord's power!
Morgan: You.. monster...
Milim: Hm?
She turned to face the Guardian.
Milim: You just took so many innocent lives!! How can you laugh at that?!
Milim: They we're probably all just weaklings, so what does it matter?
Morgan: They're people!!
Milim: Not anymore.
Morgan didn't know what to say. She did however known one thing. She had to stop this maniac. But she wasn't nearly strong enough to do it on her own, and Ty was on the ground, probably trying to process all the pain he'd just been through.. Wait a second, he was alive! The stone worked! But would the plan work too..?
Morgan watched Ty, hoping to see something. After a moment, she saw it. Sparks began to form around him. However, they were pitch black.
Morgan: It worked..!
Milim: Hm? What worked?
Milim turned to see Ty, getting on his feet, and slowly igniting the ground around himself in black fire.
Ty: Hey, Morgan. Need some help?
Morgan: It's you, right?
He smirks, the nods.
Morgan: Hehe.. than yes. Please help me.
Ty: You got it.
He turns to Milim and holds out his hand, where more black flames appear. These ones take the form of a sword, which he grabs.
Ty: Get ready, Milim. It's my turn now.
Milim: No way... The Guardian guy..?
Ty: Yep.
Milim: How..? why..? Ugh, this is annoying. You won't beat me though! No one can!
Ty: We'll see about that one. Morgan, go on ahead. EM is fighting this worlds him, right?
Morgan nods.
Ty: Then definitely go. I can handle this kid.
Morgan: Right!
Milim: I'm not a kid!!
Morgan runs on ahead, but Milim didn't care. She wanted to fight the newcomer. He had bested her one before, and she wasn't about to let it happen a second time.
Milim: Alright, Guardian guy. Let's do this!
