" - Fuck, don't let it pull us in - Daniella, attack the eye!" And as she says that, she begins to glow - the glow spreads to Daniella - and her own Song rises, striking discordantly at Four's as she and her dragon accelerate - the music, especially the lyrics, speeds up until it's a jangling blur - 

Daniella can at least do some serious damage like this, and she feels herself speeding up, her fire burning hotter in her, coming more quickly to her call.

HAHAHAHA, BURN!!!!

(Eliese boosts her passive buffs by enough that she's no longer regenerating more power than she's spending. Still got enough to fire off the curse when she gets the real window, and she'll happily bet on herself in a melee mid-air or otherwise with anything but maybe that biggest asshole, Ampharos or whatever the name was.)

The wyverns and canons at least go down fairly easily - the eye is significantly harder, as Daniella apparently has to hit the pupil exactly, which roams and jumps around - 

But she shatters the first eye - 

And with a lurch, the world around them shifts, gravity spinning and turning - 

They're being pulled to a second eye, now, roughly ninety degrees around the massive bulk of the demon. And, of course, they are continuing to get shot at. (This is going to be a problem more for Daniella, especially since the Intoner mode runs out right after the first eye shatters.)

oh no she feels so slow now :( where'd the happy fire go :(

Eliese will bodyblock for her companions if she has to.

Not too necessary, Daniella's still got a lot of flexibility in her coils.

Getting shot at also seems to help Zero get back into the zoomy happy fire Intoner mode, because while she's not able to swing into it as smoothly when the next eye comes into view - she does get Daniella that boost in time.

"There should only be two more!" she shouts at her companions once they've shattered that one - and started being dragged to the next. "It'll escalate as we go through its eyes."

"I am beginning to tire of these game levels."

"Fucking tell me about it. Though, could be worse - Three likes goddamn puzzles."

"Good, something to look forward to."

"Maybe she'll let us skip to the end instead of going through this fucking shit - I'm gonna punch Four in the goddamned face - " 

She nudges Daniella to roll out of the way of another barrage of attacks. "Argh - can you take out those fucking cannons so we can focus on killing this thing?"

"On it." Hello naughty cannons, it is scrap time.

That helps, a lot - especially on the last eye, where the demon really steps up its attempts to kill them -

Hehehe, unfortunately for it, Daniella is better. She and Zero are the unbeatable team! And Eliese is there too, she guesses. But Zero's still better.

They get through it, at least - 

- And the demon starts shifting after they destroy the fourth eye, an enormous crack opening around its middle -

Hmmmm that's probably not a good sign.

Thought it does widen enough to give Eliese back her line of sight on Four! ...Though the demon is continuing to shift, and there's a building glow around her, and a power humming in the air, just behind the music -

Yeah, she's has a feeling she'll have to deal with whatever this bullshit is before she can get the curse off properly.

There's no grand spell, this time. No chant. No dramatic leadin.

She simply calls - clear and loud into the storm - "Zophiel! Come to me!"

" - Is she fucking insane - "

- And the music shifts, becomes darker and heavier, as a deep roar splits the sky like thunder - and a dragon wings out of the building light - it's larger than Daniella, its eyes blinded, glowing rings along its back, scales heavy and shiny like metal - 

They have a few seconds to react before it's on them. 

Evasive maneuvers!

While Eliese accelerates to attack speeds, before it's fully formed.
