The air was tainted with a sinister edge. Any speck of light had no place here, upon the throne room of the Destruction Domain.

In this darkened room, from the high ceiling dome to the rotunda-like interior, only flashes of a color spectrum, ranging from the richest of gold to the most metallic of silver, against a single force of menacing blue, illuminated the darkness.

These flashes of power are caused by the clashes of Eternal Power Precure and Necro themselves as they clash weapons against each other, in the middle of what would be the final battle. Six against one.

Can they really do it?

The fairies watched from the sidelines, their faces nothing but a stock of worry for their legendary warriors and their path to victory. Only, something was left off about their presence in the room, and it was the fact that they were trapped in a rectangular cage materialized by darkness. It fizzed upon the exterior and the thick cage bars, somewhat blocking the vision of the mascots. They could sense the intensity of the action outside their little space, regardless.

"E-Everyone~dea...!" feared Budea with a grasp of the bars, her brown beady eyes producing large droplets at their boundaries.

After a clash, the septet of Cures slide back across the floor, pinning their weapons down to halt their momentum, where they partially damage the surface beneath them. Thrusting their weapons forward while still retaining their grip on them, they summon a horde of forces stemming from their own sources of power: water, sound, you name it, they've got it, being Eternal Power Precure and all.

Each and every force is launched towards Necro like a mass of bullets, but he doesn't move a single muscle to evade this attack. A spherical barrier became veiled around him in deflection of these magical forces, protecting himself without a hitch. Upon contact with his clear dome shield, thanks to its magic, the forces sent his way are converted to dark power and are ricocheted back to their roots; at a much quicker speed rate, too.

"Look out!" yapped Drizzle, snapping into a much more cautious disposition as all seven of them spring into the air to avoid the power sent back their way. The power forces end up gripping at nothing to devour any energy from and decay into oblivion.

The barrier vanished into thin air and Necro's narrowed gaze ascended to the air, where the mid-air team used their leap to strike overhead.

Their throats pitching the strongest of battle cries, the Cures descended down right where their enemy wanted them, and they gave way to clashes once more, starting off with Verdant as she uses the leafy limbs of her bow to land a blow on the ruler, but each time they are critically deflected by the constant maneuvering of his Treasure. As she launched herself back with a back flip, Aroma picked up where her best friend left off, with the help of Aria and her trusty baton.

With a sweep of her scythe, Aroma attempted to hook the scythe around Necro's neck, but upon doing so, he grasped onto the shaft. With little to no effort, Necro unhooked the blade and swung it towards her way. The edged petals fanned at the scythe heel collided with Aroma and knocked her back, accompanied by a pained cry.

Aria took the initiative as her baton locked with the staff of Necro's Treasure. They exchanged a quick array of silent fury towards one another before Aria pulled back her baton. This forced the Treasure forward as she broke their locked contact, but Aria returns with a spin of the baton to deflect the incoming blow. Its ribbon-like veil fluttered about in the winds of its twirls.

In the midst of uncatchable baton pirouettes, Necro performed a roundhouse kick at the vocal diva, delivering her back. Drizzle immediately lunged into the action, not holding back as she comes in with a thrust of her spear. Multiple, at that, only for them to be dodged with rapid bobs of the body. He tried to retaliate with a swipe across the rain wielder, but she evades the strike as she motioned her weapon to the ground.
