Eliza looked at Mannis with curiosity and slight relief. Although she was strong, any help against Frost's other side was gladly accepted.

"Thank you for your help. My name is Eliza. And you are?"

"Mannis..." He quickly replied.

Nightshade yawned, "Now that the pleasantries are out of the way...."

Nightshade's aura sparked as his sword was surrounded in a deep black mist. He looked at his opponents with contempt. Mannis would not get the jump on his again. He charged at them. His speed was upped considerably as He darted past them. Eliza stood there. She had never seem him move this quickly. She turned back to find him looked at Frost. They weren't the main objective, only obstacles.....mere obstacles. Eliza tried to take the advantage as she ran, but large spires of dark energy shot out of the ground. Nightshade looked back at them. He had forgotten about them for a second.

"I guess it's time to even the odds...."

His dark energy covered the ground below them as eight spires slowly emerged from the inky blackness. Slowly, the spires took shape, until their looked just like their creator, Nightshade.

"A bit....typical, but why ruin a good thing..." Nightshade joked.

"Yep...your right. Typical bad guy." Mannis interjected.

Eliza charged at one of the copies and gave it a heavy uppercut, and using the forward momentum to follow it with a flip kick empowered by ice. Mannis took notice of what she used. We have more in common than we thought. Before taking his shot at the others. The real Nightshade, on the other, hand, was waiting for the right time to make his next move as he looked at his Demon Vengeance. The power was radiating as the tip grew slightly.....

"There goes another one..." Serenity joked as she took out both wings of the raven with her staff, which was now a longbow, "It took a few tries but--"

Frost pushed her out of the way of the gorilla. He drove his Crystalli Blade into it's flesh, finally ending its life. Andrea was intrigued. She just might have to join in the fight. Not many of the Crew was left now. There was only six. The eagle, the bear, the komodo, the falcon, a fox, and herself. Frost changed back into his human form.

"Serenity...you think you can deal with the Bear and fox?"

She looked at him confused, "Yeah...I guess. Why?"

He didn't respond, but looked at Andrea, who, likewise, knew was the next course of action was.

"Tom! Verton! Take the girl All others will be with be...."

"Heh...I didn't think you go at me by yourself."

Both Frost and Andrea were surrounded by the same kind of light while everyone else looked on. The power radiating from the two was like nothing they have ever seen. It was like them to by the best of the crew. Frost, Andrea, and Shigatsu. The three mythological beasts that made the crew what they were. The light died down as the two were revealed. On one side, stood Frost, the ice phoenix, and on the other, stood Andrea, the white pegasus. If Shigatsu was here, it would have been the first time in over five years. In unison, Frost and Andrea took flight. This was going to be a battle in the air. Twice they circled around each other. It was going to be Frost vs. Andrea and the Zoanthrope Crew.
