The scene picks up with Oswald's group now facing off against Byro.
Natsu: Check it out, Romeo! He's trying to act all high and mighty while sitting on an octopus! (Giggles)
Romeo: I wouldn't laugh. He held his own against Gildarts, remember.
Oswald: But he hasn't fully fought me before.
Natsu: Yeah, yeah, he's powerful. But he's riding a giant freaking octopus! (Laughs)
Happy: (sighs) Natsu's turned into a jerk of a role model.
Michelle: That makes me worry about Romeo's future.
Happy: Well, Oswald turned out alright, so he might be okay.
Lucy: You call insane strength and murder-first alright?
Natsu: (grins) Wait, so that means if I beat this guy, then it's kinda like I'm beating Gildarts, too!
Oswald: That's shooting for the moon and ending up in the small village next door.
Byro: I'll destroy you.
The octopus shoots out ink that causes the others to dodge, but when it stops, they saw it left behind the kind of damage acid would leave
Natsu: Oh man, that is some dangerous ink!
Happy: Be careful, guys!
They rush in to fight, and Natsu throws a punch at the octopus that wasn't effective. He gets knocked back while Oswald throws a strike of his own that did leave behind a bruise. The attacks from the creature go wild and nearly hit Coco and Dan before the group got them to safety.
Oswald: Hey, you nearly hit your friends with that.
Lucy: Seriously! Coco and Dan are supposed to be your allies!
Byro: I realize that, but as proud members of the Legion Platoon, they are prepared to sacrifice their lives to win this holy war.
Lucy: Holy war my ass! You don't have any right to speak of her name, she's not your slave! She doesn't belong to you, or Zentopia, or anyone else! She can make her own decisions!
Coco was surprised by that as no one's really spoken that passionately about her before.
Byro: You're in no position to chastise my actions. You fail to grasp the severity of the situation. There are many more lives at stake in this war than you realize.
Oswald: This is why I don't go to church.
(Cue Higher I'll Go)
Oswald cracks his knuckles, gets in a stance, and runs to the enemy. The octopus throws some attacks while Oswald dodges and parries with his own strikes. It was about to shoot more ink at him when a stream of water intercepts it. Looking over, Oswald sees Lucy summons Aquarius.
Aquarius: You're like I showed up when I did or your brat would've been a goner.
Lucy: I knew I could count on you.
Aquarius: (mad) Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?! You summoned me from a puddle?!
Lucy: Sorry, but that's all I could find!
Oswald: Shut up and fight, mermaid.
Aquarius: (ticked off) You keep out of this you brat!
She fires water at him, but Oswald just slaps it away, sending it flying and destroying a building nearby.
