"Let's take this battle somewhere more... appropriate." Acronix grinned.

Acronix held the Forward Blade up and struck them all with it. When they reappeared, they were outside the Iron Demise. The group found themselves in the middle of a massive cockpit of sorts, with the Iron Doom plugged in as the pilot. A large, deep V screen in one wall let in the light of the day, a single beam that illuminated their faces. A large, semi-circular panel of controls reached around the Iron Doom's chest, with its hands reaching up and manning them. The wires that were pouring energy from its head into the rest of the machine sparked with that same, powerful white light in the viewport. Their arena, as Acronix had put it, was almost as large as the Samurai X Cave itself.

"Couldn't have you messing with our plans," Krux haughtily elaborated, "You all have a habit of doing that. Quite annoyingly, I will add."

"We're giving you one last chance," Lloyd frowned, shaking off the disorientation of the change, "If you surrender-"

A massive flash of lightning shot out right by Lloyd's ear, lighting up his face in blue and arcing out towards the Twins. To Lloyd's shock, Mage walked past him a moment later, his arm still sparking as he spun Aevum around in his hand.

"I normally don't do this... but it's not worth offering them that now," Mage frowned, "We all know they aren't going to stop."

"So the boy has learned his lesson," Krux grinned, "Then have at us!"

The eight combatants took their stance. Weapon drawn. Faces hardened. Eyes sparking with pure determination. Around them, the arena was shaped from the malice, hatred, and bloodlust that the Twins carried with them. The six dimensional travelers were the only light that remained here, and all that could stop the Twins from truly destroying it all.

Over's eyes flashed. He drew his sword and staff at the same time, racing forward as he spun his staff fast enough to let it cut through the metal beneath him. The shadows of the room around the Twins shot up in spikes and claws, reaching out like the hands of those cast to the Underworld. The moment that they reached the Twins, Acornix hit them with the Slow Mo Blade as the two split off and raced alongside the group.

Krux put his blades down on his hips and instead put his hands together. An aura flared around his body, one that made Monty's eyes narrow. The aura flared up a deep silver, then shot up to form a massive fox in the air. The Chi creature landed in front of them and raced forward, snarling at the group as it moved to protect its master. Meanwhile, Acronix spun his hand around and formed a Rhotatae disc. A grim reminder sunk over the group that the Twins held the powers of those worlds they had taken.

Acornix struck at Lulloyd, hoping to blow him down with the disc. Instead, Lulloyd smashed his weapons together and took it head on, knocking them out and thrusting the disc away. He swung both weapons at Acronix, who laughed and leapt away from him. When the disc arced around to hit him, Lulloyd's eyes flashed as he spun in the air. He flung his sword around, catching the tip of the disc and throwing it right back at Acronix. The twin simply cancelled it in the air and grinned just in time to see Monty flash the SoS at him.

Harumi spun around and held her arm up, forming a massive wall of Rhotatae discs that she fired down at once at Krux. The fox snarled and leapt forward, passing through the discs and right out towards her. Krux smashed his foot into the ground, turning the metal panels into 6x6 tiles and grabbing hold of one like a shield. Both he and his Chi barreled at Harumi, who thrust her arm up in front of her with a massive beam of golden light. The two split up as Krux drew his reversal blade, thrusting it out and turning back time for Harumi until she had just summoned the wall of discs. Krux laughed as he landed and drove his fist into her jaw, throwing her back onto the ground and letting his fox jump atop her to maul her.
