Admiral Mechion's Orion form allowed her to watch the chaos being unfolded:

The Rising Twelve coordinating between combating the Voids and Sehki at the same time while Ophiuchus' power was waning.

Her protege in the Shadow Brawlers seemingly struggling to attempt to beat the Nuckelherd.

"Their source is depleting," using her StellArts to catch and have Heath analyze the feathers, "but their fear is growing underneath."

"Are you sure we shouldn't be helping?"

"Stone, Tenma, I don't let injured soldiers fight on the battlefield," covering the Health Center while Tychonis and Scald targeted Voidvoks before they could appear.

"Akilah, Jia, status."

"We've poured enough magic to dispel the barrier's hold for about ten more minutes. Jia, has a hole opened up through there yet?"

"I'm trying, but it'll take some time."

"Either way, care to explain to me why your son and fellows exchange students are preventing Shakuheld from fighting the Voids?"

"They are? Well~Saiban's people haven't been the best since learning about my dear's arrest. Perhaps-"

"The country has been overridden with Voids while you and your friends have been enjoying your best lives," Mako claimed, summoning different peacock blades to try and jam it into his back.

"So that's why Rubin's been recording me? Can't we work together to stop this first and then you beat me up?"

"You don't get it!" Mako sent them all to impale him when Sehki spun to deflect them all. "We've gotten stronger through battling the creatures you sent us! And we'll save our people by surpassing you!"

Watching him ring down another blade, Sehki expanded the volume of darkness to let it grate against him, sliding into Mako's fist.

"Assaulting a hero trying to save the campus," Rubin proclaimed, distracting him long enough for Mako to make a rain of swords stabbing through Ophiuchus. "Whose side are you on?"

"That's enough," throwing a wave at them while the sound of his beast wallowed. Unfortunately, Mako rallied the twelve to lead a charge, attacking more of the Malora Constains, blocking him from reaching those underneath them.

They're so focused on the glory over the students, unable to reach them and get them to the professors.
"Prince Sehki!" A crow twice his human size approached him.

"You're?"

"Claudia," with a dizzy Nico on top of her. "Your friends sent a message. The girl with the red hair said: don't give up when we're trying to fight the Nuckelherd! Keep your promise you made at the commencement!"

He turned over to the side, seeing massive flames, Cree and Candy dodging Easel, Cassie, and Fari. She's fighting Pyralis? We'll show them why we're the ones who trained you. Passing down the torch!

"Nico, Claudia, Circinus and Corvus! How strong is your beak?"

"Um...decent."

"Good, I have a plan that's gonna need both of you," giving them the general premise. "Wait for my signal!"

He flew away from the Rising Twelve to see the Shadow Brawlers closer.

"Cree! Candy! Lorena! Don't lose!"

They all briefly looked up to see him, nodding before heading back down.

Fari cackled, throwing Cassie at them. "That's a promise they won't keep!"

Candy fired a series of ice shards that Cree's staff twirled and spread, constantly hitting the two, redirecting it at Easel and Pyralis.

"Lorena, get out of there!"

Admiral was right, feigning weakness, if we can't survive this, we won't be ready for what's to come. It's time to put the training into practice.

Despite Pyralis' close range incineration, she spun and liquefied the sweat and air around her hand enough to slip out and catch one of Candy's icicle projectiles.

She used the flames burning her to melt it into water, secretly sucking her own body sweat to combine both into her arm, smashing his head in to escape his grasp.

Lorena grabbed Easel and threw her to Pyralis before he could get up, pulling back on one leg and launching off to deliver a brutal kick to both of them, knocking the seahorse down.

"Easel!" He turned up the heat. "Get back here! I'll burn arrogant girls like you and Xia to a crisp!"

Let your opponent lose their cool while you regain yours. Lorena bounced on her feet, raising her fists. "I prefer my guys with a bit more blaze in their brains," she teased.

She spat on her burn marks, making small bubbles. As he charged at her, she weaved from his fist narrowly reaching her, spitting mud shots to dispel his flames with every duck, swing, sidestep, and twist, striking the body parts she quenched.

Giraffes and goats replenish energy via water. Us fae have the potential to heal ourselves with precise control. Use any liquid not made by your magic to recover. Through the fight, you grow stronger.

He ducked from Lorena's fist, only to stretch her neck and swing it like an axe, violently blowing him back, grinning.

As he grows weaker.

She swallowed up the sweat from her body via the bubbles, recovering enough energy to wind her arms back and carry him through the ground with her fists, holding him in place.

"I'm not losing to you!" He generated a dome of heat around him. "Equuleus Explosion!"

She had to stretch her head, torso, and legs away, coating earth in her hands to deal with his explosion threatening to melt her arms off.

You found a way to convert Cameleopardis' stretching magic through your own body instead of just the head:polish your skills so much your true skill becomes your secret weapon.

"You'll end up eating hay in a prison cell just like your pathetic leader!"

He pushed his explosion into a horsed spirit straight at her. "Take that back!"

Fari and Cassie held back the siblings from helping, begging her to move.

"No! If we can't stop these guys, we have no right to see Sehki! Capricorn!" Stomping the ground, she molded the soil beneath her to shoot it at his spell, stretching her head further back.
