The three then rush to the first cage that is labeled, "PTM-3187". Upon arriving, the cage begins shaking.
"Looks like we got a live one," Leona says.
"No kidding. The Phantom might burst out the moment we open the door. I'll get some distance before I cast my spell," Jamil says. Then turns to the others, "Get behind me and-"
But Leona already acts and uses his magic to break the cage open.
"Leona?!" Jamil exclaims.
"Quit draggin' your feet. It's coming for us!" Leona says.
Soon, the three begin to fight off the Phantom with their magic. The Phantom tries to fight back, but the three end up being too much for it. And soon enough, the Phantom is defeated and melted into a puddle of black ink.
Once the Phantom is gone, Leona looks inside and says, "...No key inside. Tch, what a waste of time."
Just then, Jamil asks, "What was that about?"
"You got a problem or somethin'?" Leona questions with a frown.
I'm supposed to be opening the cages. You firing off a spell behind me is not part of the plan," Jamil says.
"Oh, did you wanna open the cage? Sorry to steal your fun," Leona says in remark, "You were making like you were gonna run away, so I thought you'd chickened out."
"Not in the least!" Jamil says, annoyed, "I said I was getting some distance to ready myself for the Phantom-"
"Yeah, whatever. Onto the next cage," Leona says, and walks to the next cage.
Jamil shows a deep frown on his face, which Jasper soon noticed. They soon follow Leona to the next cage that's label "PTM-5044"
"Here's the next one," Leona says.
"Okay, I'm going to open it. Hrgh!" Jamil says, and casts his magic at the cage.
With a loud bang, the cage bursts open. However, nothing is coming out.
"...Nothing's happening. Is the cage empty?" Jamil says, "I'll check inside. You stay here and-" and begins to walk inside the cage.
But Leona says, "Don't just waltz in there like a chump!"
"I have to agree with Leona on this one, what if that Phantom is still..." Jasper says.
Suddenly, they hear a loud roar, "GRAAAGH!"
"Hrk!" Jamil yelps.
"...In there," Jasper finished.
Leona then begins to cast his magic, "Sheesh. Why do I always get stuck babysitting?"
And then uses his magic to attack the Phantom.
"Leona..." Jamil says, surprised.
Then Leona says, "You can thank me later. Brace yourself!"
The three act fast and attack the Phantom so that it doesn't have time to attack. Once they defeat the Phantom, it quickly melted.
"Welp, it's not that one either," Leona says.
"Thank you for coming to my aid," Jamil says, "I'll make sure to repay the favor as soon as I can."
"Nobody expects you to do anything. Let's just move on," Leona says, and walks away.
Jasper mutters, "Sheesh, what a grouch," and follows Leona from behind.
"Rgh..." Jamil says, frustrated, "No matter how much of a hassle this is, it's still tactically sound to keep working with Leona. I'll just have to swallow my pride and deal with it."
