The battlefield had become chaos incarnate. The Sky Whale's rage split the sky into storms of ice, and blinding light.
Julian ducked beneath a searing beam of frost, his body exploding into a surge of lightning. His muscles screamed but his speed doubled, arcs of blue crackling from his limbs. He darted along the whale's massive body like a shadow racing across the clouds, blades of darkness weaving from his hands.

Joe leapt in immediately, his wounds forgotten, flames bursting from his body. "Don't hog the stage, Julian!" His arms blazed like molten steel, and he hurled himself forward. "Take this [Inferno Break]!" His fist landed against the whale's side, detonating into a fiery explosion that scorched the sky itself. The creature bucked, its protective scales glowing red-hot from the strike.
