The combined blasts appear to have damaged Baron greatly. Growling, he slowly steps out, removing himself from the crater in the wall as his armor shifts once more.

"Lemon Energy Arms! Fight! Power! Fight! Power! Fight fight fight fight F-F-F-F-FIGHT!"

With his new armor, Baron pulls out a bow and arrow and fires at Skeleton King...

Except Skeleton King just neutralizes the arrow by letting loose a frosty mist from his staff, freezing the arrow solid.

"Such a disappointment..." The Skeleton King shakes his head. "You use the weapons of mortals - for what? Some sense of personal satisfaction?"

He uses his power to pick up Baron and slam him through a wall and into an adjacent building.

"Fight with your true power! Fight with it, or die." The Skeleton King readies for another blast, along with Valeena.

Baron growls yet again - this time, it seems less...human. The SKD may or may not be picking up rapidly increasing energy levels from Baron.

Morphos stays restrained, but he's clearly in pain - he would be roaring, but his voice has gone hoarse.

Gridon looks at Morphos, then back at the others, whacking away. "So, plan's working so far, huh?"

"I'd say!" Bravo chimes in, looking out from behind Morphos. "I may not have been able to hear your plan, but I can certainly appreciate your planning! You truly are a great stude-"

And the brief lapse in concentration that Bravo has while talking is enough for Morphos to break free of Bravo's hold. He holds his left arm up high...

"I'll handle this!" Gridon runs out to deflect the discs, just as planned - but no discs come, because all Morphos does is swiftly bring down his left arm onto his tentacle, cutting it off before anyone can process what he's doing.

"...eh?" Gridon blinks in surprise beneath his helmet.

Then, with his third arm, Morphos grabs Bravo and pulls him in close, his healed tentacle latching onto Bravo's belt.

Gridon realizes what Morphos is doing. "The distance is too close for us to stop him without the risk of hurting boss..."

"Oh, is that so?" Morphos mockingly asks, clearly knowing exactly what he's doing as he throws Bravo to the side, his back splitting open as a new appendage forms. "A pity that I learned, isn't it? I learned the first time you tried to restrain me - I'm not giving you another chance!"

The new appendage fully forms, revealing what it is - a green and purple spiked stinger, with the end resembling a fusion between Bravo's helmet and one of his daggers.

"So, with my new tactic..." Morphos chuckles. Suddenly, his third arm starts glowing blue, and another arm grows on it's other side...both burst to reveal twisted versions of Cinder's arms, scaled up to better suit Morphos and bulging with muscle. "I'm going to have some roasted nuts!"

And then he unleashes a wave of fire at Gridon.

"Yeah, seems like it's worth investigating." Steel nods. "You guys can stay here, and I'll go and report what's going on through my link with Max."

Max thinks about it for a moment, before grinning. "Sounds good to me!"

"Better you than us." Ms. Fortune remarks.

"It should be easier for you to hide, so..." Cerebella shrugs.

"Alright! Then I'm heading off!" And thus, Steel sets off towards the source - and along the way, completely misses the twins.

This is probably going to come back to bite him.

And then, as if on cue, Doc Scratch steps outside the Abandoned Supermarket. He looks at the two outside. "Ah. I was expecting you. Both of you. The vampire is correct - this supermarket is no longer abandoned. In time, you will be in here, but it is not that time yet, so I will ask you politely to leave."

The girl looks at the robot in silence for a few moments. "...Did you have that memorized? Were you just preparing this in case someone asked you why you were beating up a monster, and then you would explain your entire plan to them in an overly dramatic way because you're so brooding and edgy?"

With that remark, the girl hovers away from the robot. "...but I did manage to gather from that little rant that you're not a threat to the local populace, so...yeah. I'll leave you alone for now."
