[BODY ENHANCEMENT!]
As she quickly closed in, a faint-blue coating quickly concentrated on her greaves when the trunk was only a few inches away.
[LEAP OF-]
*crack.*
"OWIE!!!"
A sudden burst of searing pain emanated from her toe. Causing the lass to fail on her leap and fall down on the ground.
She then grasped the aching location with occasional muffled grunts.
"My..my injury..from before..!?"
"..No..No..! Not..Now..! "
- A scene depicting Yenna attempting her hardest to remain unbothered by the sword falling on her feet as she saluted to Foryan flashed inside of her mind.
Yenna then struggled on the ground, she then extended out her hand to reach for the fallen trunk.
"I..I need to find them! So I can finally be useful to Miss Forya—!"
*WHOOSH!!*
A sudden, huge gust of air penetrated from the region at her right, narrowly avoiding her by a centimeter with enough force that it leveled the entire area and the space beyond the tree trunk, the trees that were once standing had been severed by an unknown force, sending them away.
"..wha..what..?"
Yenna slowly turned her head to the right, seeing a large opening where below it was an array of destroyed trees, floating leaves and flying splinters.
Had she crossed the trunk, Yenna's mind swimmed in possibilities, all of which were unpleasant to say the least. She then shook her head before focusing her gaze on the..
two..? No..Four! silhouettes present at the distance revealed by the sudden clearing.
"..!!"
"Sir Hamilvan..!"
"And..! Kalyest..hrough!!"
"..Located..!"
————
"..Ughk.." - Yenna attempted to pull herself up by latching unto the protrusion on the tree trunk.
"...!" - With her eyes now elevated, it suddenly widened.
"..Wh-..what..are those?" - Yenna squinted her eyes towards the two, tall silhouettes standing in front of a wounded Calestro as Hamilvan remained standing before them idly, in a stance where he held the sword in both ends.
Right at the handle
and Left at the Hilt.
"...!" - As she diverted her gaze from Hamilvan, she found herself squinting her vision towards Calestro who tightly clutched his bleeding right arm. "He..He's dying..!!" - Swirlies began to form on Yenna's eyes as a sweat slid down her cheek. "..I..I should do something..! Whe—!"
*FWOOSH!!*
"Agh..!"
Another powerful burst of air sped by, narrowly avoiding her left ear before leveling the last remaining tree trunks behind her.
After a moment of covering her eyes with her armoured forearms, she gradually lowered it revealing her left ear which was now oozing with blood.
"..Almost..!"
— Yenna squinted her eyes, focusing once more on the four. This time, Calestro's head began to secrete out a red-coloured liquid beneath his jet-black hair, his clothes that were once just coated in dust now were filled with cuts, scratches, and torn off edges.
Apart from his furrowed-eyes, his expression remained blank. Lips unclenched, no smirk, no grit of teeth, not even a single clench of fist.
Just pure, unfiltered fixation—
"..I let down.. my guard.."
————
"Bear X Bear.."
- A dead, feminine voice echoed, followed shortly by a;
"Reporting."
- monotonous, raspy intonation then;
"Status?"
- the same emotionless womanly tone, before;
"Target Neutralized."
- They both muttered in unison.
"Requesting; Son. To be near to enlighten us of the next possible course of action."
*Haah..* *Haah..* *Haah..!*
While trying to catch his breath, Calestro made his way towards the tied up Hamilvan as he remained pinned down by Papa Bear's leg implanted on his chest, heavy enough that it halted any muscle contractions or protractions eliminating muscular movement but the leg remained wide enough that it didn't pierce nor cut through his flesh.
Mama Bear stood beside the two, standing on Hamilvan's left arm. Her chains slithering through the ground like a snake while the fragmented sword, embedded on the threads were tightening up on the Commander's torso and his legs.
"Tch..! You Imbeciles! Get off of me..!!"
Hamilvan managed to grip his sword tighter despite being subjected to Papa Bear's weight.
"..Su..ch strength.."
- The Papa Bear concluded, upon feeling his flesh move beneath.
"GRHH..!!"
"Sir..Mister..!" - Calestro called out, gradually wobbling forward with soggy noodles he used as legs.
"You..—!!"
*FWIP!!*
The thin, yet incomprehensibly tough thread began to tighten itself around the already binded areas of Hamilvan's stature, causing some of the fragmented shards to slightly drill unto his skin.
"Quiet. Be Still. Or I shall make you."
— The monotonous feminine voice declared ever-so-solemnly, causing its resonant voice to echo throughout the scene: Its emerald-coloured irises glowing even brighter as her countenance became obscured by the shadows, similar to the large monstrosity with nightmare-fueling crimson pair of orbs peering through the shadowy darkness on its face while both towered over the downed Commander.
Experiencing such a sight, Hamilvan's control of his right hand slowly subsided, effectively weakening it enough that the sword slipped out of his hand and fall for a few centimers before..
*Bam!*
Slamming unto the floor with the impact being strong enough that it caused a slight tremor.
"He was carrying a blade that heavy this entire time..?" - Mama bear pondered.
Calestro approaches, still shaky on his steps.
"..Mister..Hamilvan was it?" Calestro muttered, a sweat sliding down his cheek.
"..Criminal.." - Hamilvan hissed upon seeing the young man upclose, to which Calestro's eyes squinted to.
"..Can I please.. get a reason why I was attacked..?" - Calestro inquired, voice low.
Hamilvan sneered before responding in a cold, low-pitched voice. - "..You should've thought twice before attempting to escape..!"
The response of Hamilvan was enough to momentarily freeze Calestro's brain, before he actually opened his lips to respond;
"..Wha..What!? I think there might be a misunderstanding here!!"
- In a majorly inconvenienced and raised tone, causing Hamilvan's eyes to flare up in response.
"..Save your excuses! Mark my words.. Once I get out of this pathetic toys of yours.. I will begin by gouging your spine o—!!"
*Fwip!*
*Seep..*
The thread around Hamilvan's torso intensified in its tightness causing some soft regions especially his neck to begin slightly bleeding out
"Worry not, the shards remain a millimeter away from your carotid arteries, it supplies blood to the brain you see.. what will happen if it gets.. severed?
I suppose I should.. suggest you be careful with your words."
Seeing such a sight, a sweat ran down Calestro's troubled face as he stared on the thread tightly enveloping Hamilvan like a starving python.
"Ahaha.. Please don't be too hard on him." - Calestro released a soft chuckle before gesturing the Mama bear.
Which, caused the threads to slightly loosen, only on the areas that facilitated physiological activities; e.g. Hamilvan's throat and chest.
"Puwaah!"
*Haah..*
*Haah!*
*Pwahh..*
"I..I must bring you back..in!" - Hamilvan retorted, trying to keep up with his breath.
A sudden concentration of energy gathered atop Hamilvan's right fist, hidden from the three before it rapidly slammed down on the floor.
*wobble!*
The impact produced a tremor, strong enough that it caused both the bears and even Calestro to lightly stumble on their footing.
With both bears losing their center of mass on the points they were pinning Hamilvan down at, orbs of energy found themselves coalescing at certain regions on Hamilvan's body.
"..!!" - Realizing the Implication, Papa Bear quickly lengthened both appendages.
"S.O.N"
The Appendages then swirled around Calestro before he was flipped in the air, throwing him away before the Papa Bear and the Mama Bear leaped away, though before a considerable distance could be made.
"..BURST."
*BOOM!!*
A huge gust of air sped through the three, its wind travelling so freakishly fast that it began to resemble small knives slicing through their flesh
————
—On the stationary Hamilvan standing before him and the Two Gigantic Bears, who also had visible marks on their skin as the brown fur was beginning to wear off due to more and more, lighter coloured patches resembling cuts, scratches, and wounds were being sustained by the two.
"S.O.N. T.H.I.S. B.A.T.T.L.E.."
Upon hearing the low, guttural voice echo his name; Calestro squinted his eyes.
"..IT APPEARS THAT.. OUR ONLY CHANCE OF WINNING IS BY SURVIVING LONG ENOUGH THAT..."
- The resonant, machine-like voice of a woman chimed into the conversation.
"..I..know that..!"
- Calestro exclaimed, rational thoughts desperately trying to fend off any panic emanating from the regions swimming in overwhelming pain.
["..What should I do.."
- IT HURTS!
"Papa and Mama Bear.. can they go on?"
OUCH! IT'S PAINFUL..!
"..Any escape routes here..?"
OW...!! THIS IS..INSANE..!!
"Can we.."
HELP! I'M IN PAIN..!
"make it.."

"out..of"

"here even?..beca-"

IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS!!
Calestro calmly closed his eyes, a drop of sweat sliding down his cheek as he inhaled before heaving a deep, burdened sigh.
*Haah..*
"S.O.N. H.A.V.E. Y.O.U. F.I.N.I.S.H.E.D T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G. . . ?"
After another exhale, Calestro scoffed then curled his lips into a small and troubled smile.
"My..mind's not working at the moment. I will refrain from using it for now."
- Calestro remarked, shrugging his shoulders before releasing a laid-back chuckle, causing Hamilvan's eyelid to twitch.
"THAT'S UNUSU..AL. BUT I TRUST YOU NONETHELESS..." - The feminine voice responded, a slight static overtaking her voice mid sentence before quickly turning back to normal.
"M.E. T.O.O. S.O.N."
Papa Bear slouched and began to once again flail around his tentacle-like appendages in the air, preparing himself.
Mama Bear on the other hand started to encoat her sword in a similar colour as the chains that were wrapped around Calestro's hands, before it rapidly erupted out of her left arm, lengthening it for a few more feet.
"I.T. I.S. A.L.R.I.G.H.T. T.O N.O.T H.A.V.E A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G. F.I.G.U.R.E.D O.U.T. A.T. L.E.A.S.T. F.O.R. N.O.W. . . ."
The Appendages that were connected to Papa Bear's torso began to contract upon itself, dramatically decreasing its size but..
explosively increasing its toughness, speed and power.
"S.I.M.P.L.Y. D.E.C.I.D.I.N.G Y.O.U
D.O.N.T W.A.N.T T.O. D.I.E. Y.E.T. I.S. S.O.M.E.T.I.M.E.S. E.N.O.U.G.H."
"THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN TO ME. HOW ABOUT YOU SON?"
Seeing both Bears look back at him, though having already sustained considerable damages they are still unraveling new strengths to conquer the enemy.
Such a sight caused Calestro to think.
"they are still raring to go.."
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS
IT HURTS IT HURTS!!
"And I'm here.."
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS!
"Thinking of.. dying..!"
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS
IT HURTS IT HURTS..
"Don't..make me laugh..!"
IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS..
"I'm.."
IT HURTS..IT HURTS...
Calestro began to stand up once more, blood spreading out on the surface of his thighs and eventually coating his shins, causing his ascent to be wobbly and unstable, though..
"Ghkk..!"
he succeeded.
IT HURts-*CRACK!*
"I'm..the Son..Here!!"
"G.O.O.D."
—
"L.E.T.S D.O. T.H.I.S."
Seeing the three still standing despite all of the previous blows, a vein throbbed on Hamilvan's bleeding forehead before he tightly gritted his teeth.
"Just..FALL DOWN DAMN IT..!!"
In a lion-like roar of a voice echoing throughout the entire atmosphere of the forest did Hamilvan respond, but Calestro replied by curling his lips into a soft smirk.
"This shall be the last attempt!"
Calestro yelled, voice causing the two bears to slightly flinch and Yenna, situated in a leveled patch not far from the four to lean in, urgency slowly wrapping her heart like a vice.
"Operation; 'Don't Die Yet' Commencing..!"
"R.O.G.E.R." - "AT ONCE!"
