Tucker looked on, worried, as he watched his friend run out of the inn and proclaim some unknown truth about his greatest enemy. He turned to Setzer and explained all that was going on. He rose to combat his enemy once more and Setzer grabbed him by the hand. Slowly, Setzer made his way up and too was ready to fight the beast. He ran for the inn door and almost bumped into a woman who was being carried in. He apologized profusely as made a mad dash after Cecil. Cecil stood in the outskirts of the city and, even from a distance away, he knew his foe was there. Cecil began fighting the beast, all alone in his struggle, blow for blow, and would have done well except for the fact he had a blade of darkness and not of light. "Cecil!" Tucker said. "Take my blade!" Cecil seemed the better swordsman then he. He unsheathed his blade and turned on the Ice command. He threw the sword, handle first, which Cecil easily caught and began to fight the beast with. Tucker knew he had to help his friend, for Cecil had little chance for beating this beast. Not in the new form it had taken. He channeled up all his energy that he had and fired it at the beast, hoping to take it out. "SHI-SHI HOUKOUGAN!" Tucker screamed as the energy poured forth from his body, slamming deeply into the side of the beast. The beast flew back several yards, only to get up again. Although badly hurt, it was not dead. Confident that Cecil and Setzer could finish off the beast without him, Tucker fell the the ground, drained of all energy.
