Fiena dropped the barrier and her eyes grew large at the sight of her sister. She blushed crimson as she spoke softly. "N-Ne-Chan, you look like a Princess of Twilight in that." She was standing in a shy pose, tips of her index fingers touching. Her fairy, Ruto, was busy chiding the guys to quiet down. She flew over to Fiena and Aurianha and spoke in a hurried voice.
"Hey, are you two done talking to the rocks over here? WE gotta get a mo- Wow! Nice threads, Auri!" She paused halfway through her words and saw the shihakushou. She gave Aurianha a thumbs-up.

Tikal was upset that they'd destroyed Macha so thoroughly, but she was prepared. As the group entered the Boss Chamber, she laughed while the fire beast glowed in the shadows.
"AHAHAHAHA!!!!! So you stopped Macha, did you? Well, there's no time to celebrate! Zukoramaru! Devour them, but leave the Twilii girl alive! Lady Nemesis would be fit to have us killed if the Vessel were to be killed before the Sacrifice." The beast roared, the sheathed blade in his teeth rattling with the sound.
Zhertal growled fiercely at the beast, and Arkaltrem wanted to know what the flaming creature was. As if reading his mind, Aleph spoke.
"So it's her fire beast. Lady Aurianha, be careful. I am not sure about this creature's weakness, but the flames are not one to ignore. Phantom Balroque Zukoramaru, your time is at an end!"
Ark stood back with Aleph and Fiena, and Zhertal was at Aurianha's side. Ruto gave a slight silver glow, then transformed into a rapier-like sword. Fiena grabbed hold and rushed to her sister's side. "Cutie-Sama, please go stay with Aleph-San and Ark-San." she said, addressing the cursed Prince. "I'm gonna help Ne-Chan fight!"
