Blade's POV:

The sunlight turned harsh.

"Things are looking bad... I think," Violet muttered.

"You think?" Ruse sneered.

Medea didn't wait for us to take in the situation, she quickly shot up to the sky, leaving us dazed in her astounding speed. She spewed several shots of flames around, forming a barrier that prevented any escape.

"We've got no other choices," I started, dodging her as she began to ram towards us, "If this keeps up, we'll be tired out."

"But we can't just harm her... Can we?" Blaze gulped, dodging her charge.

"Harm her? We need to do more than that or she's gonna burn us to cinders," Ruse snarled, dodging the flames that enveloped the area.

"M-milady," Ace nervously flapped his wings, "Are you implying that we have to f-fight?"

"What of you think?" Ruse snarled as she immediately lobbed a Shadow Ball at Medea.

Medea merely grinned and allowed her body to have a short pulse of flames, neutralizing Ruse's attack. She then narrowed her eyes on Ruse and charged straight for her.

"Stand back!" Violet suddenly intervened, preventing Ruse from taking the blow. She immediately used Protect before the attack could hit her.

"Crud!" she groaned, still being knocked off despite being successfully protected from the attack.

I raised my arm up.

"We have no choice, Blaze... We have to defeat her," I solemnly told him, "She isn't herself... She's been turned into what Rose calls a Shadow..."

"I-I won't allow this!" Blaze suddenly started.

"We have to!" I jumped, dodging her random charges, "Look at what she's doing! If we don't do something, we'll be the ones to be harmed!"

"B-but," Blaze guiltily mumbled, "She can still break out of this state!"

"Skill level, below forty percent... Eradication success rate, 98 percent!" Medea coldly snarled.

She charged forward towards Blaze.

"Blaze! Move!" I called, quickly trying to get back to him to counter her attack.

"Medea! It's me! Blaze!" he yelled, showing that he was not gonna do anything about her attack, "P-please! You can snap out of this! Me-"

Their two forms became enveloped in swirling flames as they crashed, knocking Blaze aside.

"Ack!" he groaned, crashing to the rock hard ground.

I immediately put a determined face on. Right now, Medea wasn't herself... She wasn't Medea! I knew that we had no other choice but to defeat her! It's to defeat her or be... Eradicated.

"Blade," Ruse began, "I know what you're thinking... Blaze wouldn't want you to harm her... But in a situation like this-"
