In a spark of pink light, Chevalier had tossed aside her backpack and watched Phronesis take their place behind the jinn.

Scepter ready.

The environment wasn't to their advantage, Chevalier thought quickly. Thick, smoky, and difficult to breathe. Multiple puffs of unfamiliar smoke, it would take time for her senses to get used to it.

"Sending your guardian will not do any good you know," he said with a longing look."They're fighting as of right now."

Chevalier's eyebrows narrowed,"You waited until we split up, I know that already."

"But of course you do,"

He attacked first.

"what kind of leader wouldn't?"

She moved backwards, raising her hands and shoving his attempts to punch her away. Behind her, she saw a blast of light miss her left ear.

Phronesis was clutching their scepter, like a gun."Pay attention!"

Wahid Shiriyr waved his arms, the rings on his fingers and arms came unlose. Firing them boomerangs.

Phronesis ran to avoid them, firing multicolored lights, blowing them up. New rings appeared on the jinn's hand.

Chevalier ran to shield Phronesis, raising a quick shield to make them bounce off. With a mighty swing, she got closer to the jinn, her free hand now held her sword.

"Precure! Rainbow Excalibur!~"

Yume, the rainbow horse erupted from the tip of her excalibur----who galloped after the jinn. Wahid Shiriyr took to the skies, Phronesis followed after him in a balze of blue sparks. Chevalier watched them, she stomped at the ground with her heel.

She tossed the golden sword into the air.

Holding one hand above her head, using the other to draw a circle followed by it's round petals in a glow of pink light. Her finger like a pen, the image suddenly burst nto a real pink colored flower in front of her, "Precure! Flower Camellia!~"

Chevalier lowered her hand and forcefully punched the camellia towards it's target, still being chased by the blue sparks. She watched, wincing as Wahid Shiriyr swerved Phronesis and used a large ring to suck up the flower attack.

Phronesis made another attempt, yelling words in a strange tongue and creating some sort of barrier around him as the jinn tried to land. The figure of a horse raised towards him. Only a few seconds before impact. But Chevalier noticed something was off about the weather. More smoke.

Chevalier started running,"Phronesis! Yume! There's a------"

A dramatic sigh escaped Wahid Shiriyr's lips, waiting for a moment before whispering,"Mughayir Al'iinsan."

From the clouds came a large figure, that shoved Phronesis and Yume away from Wahid Shiriyr as it descended downward.

What looked like a human face passed Chevalier's line of vision, entering through her nose. No time to react.

"Chevalier!"

She winced, staggering backwards as countless thoughts intruded her heart. Chevalier felt like throwing up.

Gritting her teeth, she took a few steps back and shuddered. It was cloudy, and she was losing her smell, her taste, hearing and touch. Placing her hands on her head, not again. I'm not going to lose my mind.

Determined, she called out, forcing all her senses to return, to remove the intruder. "Get. Out. Of. My. Head."

A large amount of weight escaped her chest, relief seeping through Chevalier as her senses returned. She sat up, panting slightly, face-to-face with the jinn named
Mughayir Al'iinsan.
