Jacob: "(coughing) I'm definitely not seeing the light."

Jacob, Shoma, Randy, Lariat, Connor, Kyle, Tori, and Dante are surrounded by another dozen.

Shoma: "Trust me, you don't want to see the light."

Randy summons Osiris.

Randy: "Really?"

Lucas: "At least where we're from, it sucks."

Randy hops onto Osiris's back.

Lariat: "Well, then we're not dying."

The archers ready their bows.

Kyle: "I like the way you talk!"

The soldiers close in.

Osiris: "Don't let it get-"

Connor is zipping around the soldiers.

Connor: "IT'S ALREADY IN MY HEAD!!!!"

Tori: "(sighing) Great."

Dante changes to a snake and slithers into a hole.

Dante: "You guys take care of finding the weakness!"

Shoma and Jacob defend against two attacks.

Jacob: "(struggling) If my arms don't turn into jelly by then!"

The two jump back since the force the enemies put into their punches could shatter a normal person's arm.

Lariat: "Huh?"

Connor gets bashed in the face mid attack, causing a major nosebleed.

Connor: "What the hell?!"

Randy and Osiris get hit in the guts with one punch.

Osiris: "(coughing) What's going on?"

They're locked in a bad situation.

Meanwhile...

The boy with the platinum hair and dragon scale is sitting beside a barren road.

Boy: "Nice and peaceful..."

A strange feeling tingles throughout his body.

Boy: "I missed the feeling of-"

His body forces him to stand.

Boy: "Wh-What's my body doing?!"

His body forces him to turn towards a scuffle going on in the distance.

Boy: "Seriously? It's already over?"

He rushes towards the scuffle as long, metal claws extends from his armguards.

Boy: "I just hope it's one of the others."

Meanwhile...

Jacob: "(in pain) Oof..."

The heroes are getting massacred by the enemy.

Tori: "(verge of crying) They're like metal boulders."

Jacob's armor is beginning to seemingly rip from the chest outwards.

Connor: "(coughing) And we still have no clue about what's their weakness."

Randy is sent flying off Osiris in a single punch to the ribs, with him feeling a rib crack.

Osiris: "Randy!"

Lariat has blood in his eye.

Lariat: "(bleeding) Where is it?"

Little do they know, the sun is hiding the weakness based on their angle.
