The ape Fiend was taken down only to be replaced by something that turned Giselle's blood to ice when the Driders stormed the field.  "By the gods, how in the Nine Hells are those here?!"  They were the stuff of nightmares for Giselle since dark elves and all the monsters they controlled were chaotic and very powerful usually, when they weren't lowly orcs, kobolds, goblins, and other simple beasts of the same.  Mind flayers allied themselves with her kind more times than not, and her 'people' had a vast knowledge of many fell and dangerous magics, as well as being able to summon and effectively control demons without fail.  How Helena had gotten so many Driders, Giselle didn't know as she narrowly avoided getting turned into a pincushion as dozens of crossbow bolts slammed into her previous position.  They still retained their former intelligence, but they were full of hatred and spite for their cursed bodies, and thankfully they didn't usually call upon their old magics and abilities nearly as often as the uncursed dark elves.  Still, she wasn't about to take a chance, and neither was Valefor and Yuna from the way she saw the two prepare to dive bomb the horde of dark beasts.  She was about to cheer the summoner on until a salvo of fireballs and magic missiles slammed into the mighty bird and caused the dangerous duo to crash and burn by Giselle's position.  Running to the Summoner's side, Giselle watched in silent horror as Valefor faded as Yuna panted and leaned against a tree, trying to catch her breath after her narrow escape.<br/><br/>"I'm...alright.  I am unharmed...Giselle."  Looking behind the worried woman, Yuna gasps and pulls her out of the way to the right, just in time to avoid getting hit by an acidic bolt of green energy.  The tree that had been hit instead of the two girls hissed and smoked as it turned a sickly green and withered away into a pile of smoking goo.  Giselle nods her thanks and charges back into the fray, jumping up and coming down right on top of the sorceress in the group of Driders, her blades finding the creature's vile heart before stepping on the second one's head and jumping clear to stand beside Yuna again as she prepared to summon her second Aeon.  Bahamut, the Dragon King and ruler of the skies formed above the clouds, coming down as a giant golden glyph appeared in the sky which he crashed through, several smaller glyph like shapes forming in his wake before he crashed to the ground.  A cloud of dust and dirt surrounded the black behemoth until he stood and gave a mighty roar of challenge, making the Driders back off as Giselle gawked in amazement at what she was seeing.  A black scaled dragon like man stood before her, with multicolored wings and a strange golden ring that hovered above his back, between his shoulder blades as the dragon king crossed his arms over his chest.<br/><br/>"Just how many monsters can you command Yuna?  He's impressive, I'll give you that."  Yuna didn't answer right away as she pointed her staff at the group of Driders that had stopped as well, suddenly afraid of what they were up against until one foolishly threw his spear, which Bahamut intercepted and threw back with enough force to make it pass through the offending creature and into the two behind it right through their black hearts.  A fourth was badly wounded, and Giselle could only stare in disbelief since even her brother David couldn't have matched such a powerful throw.<br/><br/>"I have several at my command, but now is not the time to talk of such things.  We must hurry and aid those that we can before they are overrun by these creatures."  Giselle nodded as they climbed aboard Bahamut's broad shoulders, stretched out on his back and holding on for dear life as the creature took off like a bat out of hell itself, preparing to decimate any enemies that lay before them.
